I really dare not mess with the Queen Mother

[one more]

Before Qin Suduan was furious and wanted to beat her up, Qin Zhao slipped out of the study early.

After all, what she said about continuing to behave mischievously would save her from entering the palace in the future is obviously unrealistic.

Even if she decides not to enter the palace to be the prince after a while, but instead encourages her to live in seclusion in the mountains and become an idle person who eats and waits to die, the male lead will definitely not let her go.

After all, her identity as the sixth prince was false, but the novel didn't say a word about what happened to the real sixth prince...

But if the real sixth prince is still alive, can she find out that person in advance and return his identity to him?Can he also return his tragic fate to him?

Qin Zhao immediately recalled the plot in the book. The original text only said that the two of them were exchanged since they were young. If the original body was really just born to a peasant woman in the countryside of Danzhou, wouldn't that mean that the real six The prince is still in Danzhou?

But she thought about it again, even if the real sixth prince is still in Danzhou, it is obviously too late.Tomorrow she will enter the palace, when the emperor sees her, if she tells the emperor that I am not your son, I have been swapped with your own son since I was a child, she will still end up being torn apart .

Now stretching out the head is a knife, retracting the head is also a knife, really in a dilemma.

Qin Zhao was immediately upset, and walked all the way to his yard.

When passing the back garden, she saw the lush flowers and plants in the garden, and she stopped unconsciously.

Now that the beginning of autumn has just passed, it is a good time for high and refreshing autumn. The air in the evening is already a little cooler.

Just at this moment, a gust of evening wind blew by, and the rustling sound of the wind blowing the leaves was all around my ears, and even those unknown little yellow flowers beside the gravel road were all twisting their waists, the breeze floated, Qin Zhao His mood also improved, and his whole body felt refreshed before he knew it.

Standing by the side of the gravel road, she stared at the most blooming rose nearby for a long time, and finally she looked away without interest.

She still decided to go back to her yard and go to sleep.

After all, no matter how beautiful the scenery in the garden is, it cannot match the fate that nature has brought to them.

It just seems that the scenery is infinite, and there will be a day when all the flowers wither and the trees wither, which seems to indicate her current situation at the same time.

But at this moment, Qin Zhao turned his head inadvertently, and saw a figure of a young boy behind an old locust tree not far away.

The young man was not big, and he was only six or seven years old, but he had a very good appearance, with a pink face and black eyes. From a distance, he looked like a finely carved boy.

Where did this pretty doll come from?

But Qin Zhaogang looked over there curiously, and once the boy's dark eyes met her, he seemed to be frightened by something, and his eyes were suddenly filled with fear.

Qin Zhao frowned, and started to walk forward, but heard a voice behind him——

"What are you doing here!"

Qin Zhao turned around when he heard the voice. It was a man about her age. The man had dark skin and was wearing a light gray burlap robe. He was holding a large wooden bucket in his hand and his sleeves were rolled up. He looked energetic. It's just that the man looked at her with a bit of vigilance, and his voice was also a bit rude.

Qin Zhao didn't know who this person was, nor did he understand the reason for the hostility in his eyes, so he said casually, "I was planning to go back to the yard, but I couldn't help but look at the lush flowers and plants when I passed by here."

After hearing her words, the vigilance in the man's eyes faded a bit, but he still replied very cautiously: "The back garden has always been taken care of by the small ones. On weekdays, the third young master likes to come here the most when he comes back from school in the Taifu. , so the little ones never dare to neglect."

Qin Zhao nodded, she is now the second child in Prince Qi's mansion, and the third young master is her third brother Qin Junbao.

And the reason why the people in the house called her little prince but not the other two young masters, was probably because Yuan wanted to save face and liked to show off her identity.

Thinking of this, Qin Zhao looked around and couldn't help asking: "What about the third brother? It's already this hour, and it stands to reason that he should come back."

When the man heard her words, his whole face became ugly.

His real name is Zhao Zhe, and he is the son of the old steward of Prince Qi's residence.The old butler felt sorry for him, so he arranged an errand for him to take care of the flowers and plants in the back garden. Originally, he would not have any intersection with Qin Zhao, a high-ranking little prince.

But ever since he knew the scandalous things Qin Zhao did, he hated Qin Zhao to the core.

Since Qin Zhao came to this Prince Qi's mansion three months ago, relying on the favor of the old prince, he went to the cashier to pay money at every turn, and even took the money and ran to Wenxiang Pavilion, giving a lot of money to the women in the brothel.

This also led to a rapid loss of money in the accountant, but Qin Zhao spent all the money in the house, and the food and clothing expenses of the other two young masters and the expenses of the servants had to be reduced from it.

But even if Qin Zhao used the money quickly, the old prince would turn a blind eye to it. Even if they couldn't see it, it was the old prince who doted on him after all, and the servants dared not speak out.

But it's fine for Qin Zhaohua to spend too much money, and he bullies the third young master Qin Junbao in the house every now and then!

Although Zhao Zhe was not the servant serving in the third young master's room, he knew that although the third young master was young and suffering from hidden diseases, he usually didn't like to talk.

Also because the third young master likes to come to the back garden on weekdays, although he never talks to him, as long as Zhao Zhe takes a look at him from a distance, he will feel that he is a jade-like young man, and no one can bear to bully him go.

But five days ago, Zhao Zhe was watering the flowers in the garden, but suddenly heard a sad sob.

Zhao Zhe followed the voice to find the past, only to find that it was the third young master, Qin Junbao who had just returned from the Taifu who was crying.When he found Qin Junbao, the child had already cried into tears, and the ear on the right side was red from being pulled by someone, and there were red marks on his face from the beating.

At that time, Zhao Zhe felt pain and anxiety in his heart, so he hurriedly asked who beat Qin Junbao into such a state.

But Qin Junbao didn't like to talk quickly when he saw outsiders, he just refused to make a sound, and the big tears fell down like money.

At that moment, when Zhao Zhe turned his head, he saw the little prince Qin Zhao, and behind Qin Zhao was the evil slave Zhang Heng in his yard!

As Qin Zhao strode forward, he cursed and said, "He dares to snatch my things that don't know you? Turn around and beat him to death!"

Zhao Zhe immediately understood, who beat Qin Junbao like this, if not Qin Zhao?

In the past, when Qin Zhao saw the third young master, he would directly twist his ears, and even bullied Qin Junbao for refusing to speak, calling him "little dumb" every now and then, and bullying him whenever he had something to do.

How can this man be so vicious!

Zhao Zhe couldn't see it for a while, even if he told Qin Junbao that he wanted to tell the old prince about it, but a trace of fear flashed in Qin Junbao's eyes, and he immediately grabbed his sleeve, his eyes were full of Tears, shaking his head desperately, that meant to tell him not to speak.

But he couldn't swallow this breath in his heart, and felt more and more that Qin Zhao was nothing!

At this moment, Zhao Zhe saw that Qin Zhao had come to the back garden to look for Qin Junbao on his own initiative, so he must have bullied Qin Junbao once, so he wanted to come and beat him a second time!

Zhao Zhe immediately became angry, and he didn't care what his father had told him long ago that Qin Zhaosu had a bad temper, so he told him to stay away when he saw him, and don't rush to scold him.

If he doesn't care this time, is he still a person?

Thinking of this, Zhao Zhe didn't care about the other identities of the master and servant, but said coldly to Qin Zhao: "Little prince, the third young master is still young, and he can't stand your troubles like that. The wound you hit him on the face five days ago hurts a lot." Today is not well, are you really not afraid that the old prince will see it?"

Qin Zhao was startled when he heard the words, but immediately understood.

Now this boy's attitude towards him is probably due to the stupid things that the original body did.

Qin Zhao felt that it was necessary for her to explain, whether the other party believed it or not, anyway, she could no longer bear the attitude of the people in the house to her as a thief. The little girl who greeted her looked like she was seeing an old pervert when she saw her, and she wanted to hide 800 meters away!

"Well, little brother..." Qin Zhao smiled: "I think you misunderstood me, I..."

The anger in Zhao Zhe's heart rose, and he didn't care what she explained, so he interrupted directly: "Little prince, although the third young master is not a sibling of your mother, he is also the prince's son no matter what, don't you be afraid that the old prince will know what you did?"

Qin Zhao: "Uh... I'm not worried about being..."

Zhao Zhe said angrily: "If you bully the third young master again next time, I will risk this job and not want it, and I want to speak in front of the prince and the old lady!"

Qin Zhao: "..."

Good guy, this boy has a stronger sense of justice in his heart!

but……

Qin Zhao narrowed his eyes.

The Zhang Heng in her yard who eats inside and out may not be able to use it in the future, but this young man in front of him is quite interesting.

Thinking of this, she asked aloud, "What's your name?"

The other party obviously didn't expect her to ask this question, and was taken aback, before he could speak in the future.

Not far away, there was an old man in black burlap running over. The old man was about sixty years old, with gray hair, very thin, but his eyes were shining brightly.

Qin Zhao knew this man, he was the old housekeeper of the palace, his surname was Zhao.

The old butler trotted over, knelt down on the ground to salute Qin Zhao with a plop, and cried, "Little prince, please forgive me! Little prince, it's the old slave who can't discipline you well, that's why this child ran into you. He's not a bad person, he just commits crimes sometimes..." The old butler said, and then quickly raised his head to look at the dark boy: "Zhao Zhe! Quick! Quickly kneel down and apologize to the little prince!"

Seeing that his father had already knelt down, Zhao Zhe reluctantly knelt down with him, cupped his hands to Qin Zhao, and muttered unwillingly, "Young Lord, forgive me."

Qin Zhao was almost amused, and deliberately asked with a straight face, "Your name is Zhao Zhe?"

Zhao Zhe poked his neck back and said, "The villain is called Zhao Zhe!"

Qin Zhao nodded and said, "Okay, I'll make a note of it."

The old butler was so frightened that his calves trembled, he hurriedly begged for mercy: "Young lord, just because the little one is urinating and serving the old lord, you can spare him this time."

Qin Zhao rubbed his chin, didn't reply, just looked at Zhao Zhi and said, "Actually, there are some things, you can't just look at it on the surface, he and I are blood brothers, so we will never really bully him."

After she finished speaking, she turned her hands away, ignored Zhao Zhe who was stunned, and walked directly along the small stone road to the distance.

When she was gone, the old housekeeper stood up tremblingly from the ground.

He wiped the cold sweat off his forehead, feeling a little scared, and when he came back to his senses, he kicked Zhao Zhe who was still kneeling, and at the same time cursed angrily: "You don't want to die! You provoked him to do it!" What!"

Zhao Zhe was originally thinking about what Qin Zhao said when he was leaving, but suddenly he was kicked by the old housekeeper, and quickly turned over and jumped up.

Zhao Zhe frowned, still unwilling to say: "It's because he always bullies the third young master, I can't see it..."

"That's also a matter between my own brothers! It's none of your business!" After the old housekeeper finished speaking, he looked at the direction Qin Zhao left: "Fortunately, the little prince is in a good mood today. If it was in the past, let's see if he can't beat you to death." !"

Zhao Zhe snorted coldly.

The old housekeeper said again: "Don't mess with him again, and water your flowers well! I just hope that you can have a job in peace and stability. In the future, you can save some money and go back to your hometown to build a grass house, and marry a wife. That's all... hmph, you bastard, I don't expect you to be successful in the palace at all!"

Zhao Zhe pouted.

I thought to myself, how can this little money be enough to marry a wife?

Zhao Zhe's words to the old housekeeper also went in his left ear and out his right ear, so he couldn't bear to let a child as young as the third young master be bullied by that bastard Qin Zhao again!

[two more]

Qin Zhao returned to the yard and immediately called Zhang Heng.

In the outer room, Zhang Heng stood down in a regular manner, but when he saw Qin Zhao sitting on the pear wood armchair, looking at him with a cold face, he couldn't smile when he wanted to accompany the smiling face.

Zhang Heng couldn't make up his mind, but he thought that she might have been scolded by the old prince, so he felt unhappy. He had to use him to vent his anger. He couldn't let Qin Zhao use him as a vent.

Zhang Heng made up his mind, and then persuaded with a smile: "Little prince, if the old prince said something to you, don't take it to heart, he is also for your own good. Otherwise... let's go Wenxiang Pavilion, let Miss Fangfei sing a song for you to relieve your boredom?"

Qin Zhao suddenly felt a little funny, but she asked Zhang Heng calmly and coldly: "I said, what did my father say to me, is it for my own good?"

"This..." Zhang Heng was stunned for a moment, and replied with a smile: "It's just to keep you from going to places like fireworks. You can just listen to what the old prince said, and there is really no need to be angry."

Qin Zhao laughed out loud when she heard the words, but Zhang Heng was dumbfounded by her laughter.

Qin Zhao tapped his knuckles on the table, and said with a half-smile, "So you also know that it's for my own good that my father told me to avoid going to places like brothels."

As soon as Zhang Heng heard her say this, he was completely stuck. He was stunned for a long time, but he couldn't continue talking.

After he thought about it for a long time, he said falteringly: "Little prince, the old prince didn't let you go...it's for your own good, but you don't always like..."

Qin Zhao waved his hands impatiently. He didn't want to listen to his continued sophistry, so he said in a cold voice, "I called you here today for a matter. You must answer truthfully without any concealment, understand?"

Zhang Heng was startled by her stern tone, could it be...Qin Zhao knew about his greed for her money before?Or did you know about West Street No. [-] Entering the Yard?

Zhang Heng was so frightened that his back was covered in cold sweat, and he said quickly: "My lord, just ask, I have always been loyal to you...you know it best!"

Qin Zhao sneered in his heart, loyal?

It was clearly stated in the original text that other than Yuanshen's cronies and friends in the capital, there was also this slave Zhang Heng who was instigating those stupid things that Yuanshen did.

What's more, even in the capital, things like bullying men and women and occupying people's property happened from time to time, but it was inevitable for Zhang Heng to embezzle them.Until the original body was ransacked in the end, the house did not find much money, and most of it was probably taken away by Zhang Heng, the number one dog-legged confidant of the original body.

So Zhang Heng's so-called loyalty right now is complete nonsense.

If it wasn't for the usefulness of keeping Zhang Heng, a slave, she would have told him to get out of Prince Qi's mansion long ago, how could she still stay until now?

Qin Zhao asked him with a stern face: "Let me ask you, did I do anything to Qin Junbao... five days ago?"

Zhang Heng immediately felt relieved. It turned out that he wasn't asking about the money and the mansion, but he was taken aback again: "Five days ago? You and the third young master?"

Qin Zhao nodded: "Well, did I ever hit him in the face?"

Zhang Heng thought for a while, and although he didn't understand why Qin Zhao asked such a question, he quickly shook his head and said, "It's nothing, my lord, didn't you go to Wenxiang Pavilion five days ago? At that time you saw Miss Fangfei's room. There were others, and then...then went back to the mansion."

Qin Zhao hurriedly asked, "Then what? What did I do when I returned home?"

Zhang Heng was completely baffled, but he still said, "Then you went back to your own yard and stayed in your room all this time."

Qin Zhao breathed a sigh of relief.

Fortunately, the original body did not beat Qin Junbao five days ago.

If this original body really beat Qin Junbao's child, then she is really a jerk!What to bully a child for?

Besides, Qin Junbao, the third young master of Prince Qi's Mansion in the original text, although he refused to speak when he was young because of illness, he was intelligent by nature, and he is also the baby bump of the old lady of Prince Qi's Mansion.

The old lady Sun, who is also the mother of Qi Wang Qin Suduan, is a first-rank imperial order personally conferred by the current emperor, and she and the first queen mother are sisters who met when they were young, so they are quite respected by the current emperor.

Now that the old lady is getting older, she especially treasures Qin Junbao, her precious grandson.

The original body was out of his mind to offend Qin Junbao, a grandson whom the old lady held dear to her heart!

What's more, regardless of how young Qin Junbao is now, in the future he will become an important minister in the court, and he will be worshiped as a young prime minister.And Yuan was abused so miserably later on, so Qin Junbao had to take revenge on Yuan for bullying him when he was a teenager!

However, Qin Zhao's thumping little heart just let go, but Zhang Heng's next words made her heart hang again.

Zhang Heng smiled and asked, "My lord, is it possible that you want to beat up the third young master to vent your anger? Then you should go and call him over."

When Qin Zhao heard this, a mouthful of blood almost poured into his throat.

She glared at Zhang Heng viciously, and said angrily, "Get out!"

Zhang Heng was taken aback: "Little prince?"

Qin Zhao clutched his chest, pointed at the wide open door and cursed, "Get out! Get out now!"

Zhang Heng immediately turned around and went out, not daring to make her unhappy by staying here.

When Zhang Hengren left, Qin Zhao was still so angry that his stomach hurt.

The little figure she bumped into in the back garden today should be the third young master Qin Junbao of Prince Qi's mansion.

But from Zhang Heng's tone of voice just now, could it be that the original body often hit Qin Junbao to vent his anger?

Qin Zhao: "..."

It's no wonder that the child was so scared when he saw her. What kind of bastard is the original body, that he can do anything to a child?

Qin Zhao's heart, liver, spleen, lungs and kidneys ached from the original body qi, and his whole body felt uncomfortable, which lasted until after dinner.

She had dinner with Qin Suduan in a lack of interest. She and Qin Suduan were the only two at the dinner table. The old lady usually stayed in the back house and rarely came out. Now the old princess is Qin Suduan's wife. The second wife, Qin Junbao's mother, went back to her hometown because of an accident with her brother, and she is not around for the time being.

As for the eldest son, Qin Fangyou, who is diligent, he is still busy in the Ministry of Industry and has yet to return, and her third younger brother, Qin Junbao, said he was sick and could not come to the table for dinner, probably to avoid her.

Thinking of that poor child, Qin Zhao felt even worse.

Seeing that she was absent-minded, Qin Suduan thought she was thinking about entering the palace tomorrow, so he said: "When I enter the palace tomorrow, I will go first for my father and then I will intercede for your majesty. You should go to the harem first to see Concubine Jin." .”

Qin Zhao was startled: "Concubine Jin? Who is it?"

Qin Suduan said: "Concubine Jin is your mother's old friend. The two of them had a very good relationship that day. She knew that you had returned to the capital, so she sent a message, saying that she wanted to see you."

Qin Zhao rubbed his chin, hesitated and said, "But I'm a 'big man', so it's inappropriate to enter the harem like this?"

Qin Suduan gave her a rare approving glance, and said, "You don't have to worry about this, His Majesty just nodded. It's not hurtful for Concubine Jin to meet the son of an old friend."

Qin Zhao said, "Ang, I got it."

Qin Suduan suddenly said sternly: "When you enter the harem, you must behave yourself and don't intrude, understand!"

Qin Zhao nodded quickly: "Understood!!"
