The prince of buns

Although Xu Sanlang has a bit of a temper, he still played with Master Qi's temper, and he didn't dare to overdo it, so seeing that Master Qi was so flattering to him, he went down the steps, but he hated Qi Mu'an more and more in his heart I always wanted to give him a good look sooner or later, and let him know that he shouldn't look down on Xu Sanlang in the first place.

Qi Mu'an is too lazy to talk to Master Qi now, how can he think of him? On the first night when he returned to Wei Guogong's mansion, he first coaxed his precious daughter to sleep, and then he lay down with his wife's last letter to him. Count sheep on the bed.

I don't know if it was because he was really tired from the exhaustion, or because he felt relieved knowing that Jian Yunchen was still alive, the first night after returning to Beijing this time was not as difficult as he imagined, at least he fell asleep.

Because all the investigations were handled by Lin Xiao secretly, Qi Muan's life seemed to be very dull and depressing.

Eat and sleep with my daughter every day, and ignore everything else.

After Jian Yunchen's funeral was over, the royal family paid out batch after batch of pensions, and more than half a month had passed, and Fu Xiu also returned to Beijing.

The third prince, who has won countless rewards from Long Yan and Joy, came to see Qi Mu'an several times in person, but he put on a clumsy face of constipation just like the people Fu Zhong sent to tempt him. .

So it soon spread in the capital that the young master of Wei Guogong's mansion lost his beloved wife, and he was in a bad mood.

As soon as the little Hou Ye didn't care about things, his business in Beijing, including several nearby provinces, suddenly became difficult, and one family after another went bankrupt. According to people who cared, he didn't know how much he paid in compensation.

Let's talk about the proud Fu Xiu, the emperor wanted to praise him now, so he gave him several stunning beauties with a big wave of his hand, and they were not court ladies and dancers, but all official girls with names and surnames.

Once these girls entered the third prince's mansion, they naturally couldn't be treated as singers, dancers or court ladies, and they all had to be worshiped diligently and carefully!

This didn't make Song Xian, who had just become a princess, quite angry.

Thinking about how unlucky I am, the Third Master Fang just passed the cave and went to war, and now I finally hoped for him back, just thinking about the newlywed Yaner getting close to him and enveloping him by my side, unexpectedly There are so many JIAN goods coming to compete with her for men.

The same is true for Fu Xiu, who is born in the same way. I don’t know if it’s for the face of the emperor’s father, or because the newcomer is really cute and lovable. Since they entered the mansion, he actually fell asleep once with the rain and dew on the ground, and then started to sleep for the second time. , The third time, it seemed that Song Xian, the real new princess, had been forgotten.

How can Songxian endure this?

So within a few days, there was another news in Wei Guogong's mansion that the second aunt came back to her mother's house!

While feeding his daughter egg yolk paste, Qi Mu'an listened to the people sent by Princess Jiahe vomit bitterness.

"The princess asked the uncle to go there quickly, saying that the second aunt was really making a mess, and it would be fine to stay at home for three or five days, but she didn't go after three cars were sent to pick her up from the palace. , now there is no one coming over there, and seeing that another half month has passed and there is no news, she is anxious to get angry at home, either beating and scolding the maids or burying the elders, what should I do in the long run? Please trouble the uncle to go and take her back to the palace."

Qi Mu'an squinted his eyes, "She decided to leave on her own, and if she goes back by herself now, wouldn't she be ashamed?"

The servant girl sighed in embarrassment, "Who says it's not, but the princess said that living in her mother's house for so long is even more shameless. Besides, there are so many Yingying and Yanyan in the palace, and there are two side concubines. You want to call them Any one of the gentlemen will be the eldest son of the third master, and it will be our second aunt who suffers."

After all, Princess Jiahe is a clan girl who has seen the world, no matter how much she hates Songxian, she will finally think about issues from the standpoint of the family's interests, and always hope that Songxian can please Fu Xiu.

But Qi Mu'an was different, he hated Songxian so much that he didn't want to be distracted by her.

What's more, this marriage was recruited by her shamelessly, so she should let her face it by herself.

So he yawned to the maid and said: "Look, my sister had a fuss last night, and I haven't closed my eyes yet, so let's talk about it later, ah."

Hearing what he said, the servant girl naturally thought of him as a big old man who was a father and a mother with a baby boy, so she felt very sympathetic, maybe because Songxian's popularity was so bad, she didn't say any more What, I just went back and conveyed Qi Muan's words to Jiahe and Songxian.

When Jiahe heard this, he could only sigh, thinking that he didn't know when the eldest son would be able to get over the pain of losing his wife.

Songxian was very anxious when she heard this, and immediately she didn't care about the maid in front of her, she took her stepmother's hand and cried.

"Big brother refuses to come forward, but how can I go back? He has always targeted my daughter, and my mother knows about it. Now I'm afraid it's intentional, just not to let my daughter go her way!"

After talking and crying, Jiahe was dizzy from her quarrel, and could only say impatiently: "You too, a dignified concubine, actually slapped a concubine yourself and quarreled with the third master. Even if you don't respect your own identity, then The concubine was rewarded by the emperor, how can you disrespect his old man? No matter what, you can’t do anything! The third master came to pick you up if he had the guts, so you should go back. Now he’s really angry and won’t pick you up. So what about you? If you want me to say that your elder brother doesn't want to send you back, he is also afraid of sending you home to make people slap him in the face, or if I send a few elderly mothers to accompany you, you can go back by yourself!"

How can I do that, since she doesn't have a mother's family to support her, let her go back alone in despair, and tell her how to hold her head up in front of those two side concubines in the future?

You must know that both of their natal families are also fourth-rank officials, but their natal family will come in every ten days to greet and send things!

Only my own family, father is a hungry ghost, mother is a stranger later, and elder brother is an enemy who only cares about the third sister!

The more Songxian thought about it, the more angry she became, and after resigning from Jiahe princess, she went straight to the courtyard where Qi Mu'an lived.

At this time, the nanny was just holding Tiantian in the yard to bask in the sun. Seeing her, she hurriedly stood up and called the second aunt politely.

"You don't have a good eye, what do you call my princess?! What aunt, aunt, do you still have a respectful upbringing? What happened to my mother, she found such a bastard to take care of my sister in a daze Son, in the future, when my sister grows up, she will follow you and talk nonsense like this, so it’s okay? Don’t we embarrass our Duke Wei’s family!"

After grabbing the nanny and Tiantian for a while, Songxian felt as if she had ridiculed Qi Mu'an herself, and she immediately felt at ease.

Unexpectedly, Qi Mu'an just went back to the house to get some fun things for his daughter, and didn't really fall asleep. He just came out at this moment, and heard her bullying his daughter with a gun and a stick. Although the baby boy couldn't understand, but Can he, a father, not tear himself apart from her? !

Immediately, he picked up the melon ladle for watering the flowers in his hand and filled the tank with water, walked quickly to her and poured cold water on his face.

"Howling, howling, are you awake now? This is your natal family. It's kind of you to be called aunt and grandma. If you insist on acting like a princess, please go back to your palace. If you have the ability You can stay away from us bastards who are uneducated and humble, but I want to see how long you, a bare-headed fool, princess can be proud."

The so-called hitting a snake and hitting seven inches, this sentence can be regarded as viciously hitting Songxian's seven inches.

After all, although marriages in ancient times also chose the character and appearance of the girl's family, most of them still chose the natal family, especially the marriage between emperors and nobles.

If a woman wants to have a status after she gets married, she must rely on her own ability for three parts, and the support of her natal family for the other seven parts. Otherwise, everyone knows that the emperor's daughter is not worried about marrying?

Therefore, when Qi Mu'an said these words, he immediately froze. After all, he is the future successor of the Qi family, and in another ten or eight years, he will be his natal family to rely on.

Qi Mu'an saw that she was bored and lost the interest in beating the dog in the water. He figured it was time for Lin Xiao to come over, so he sent her away impatiently.

"Earlier, I offended the third master. I scolded him badly in Shunyang. If you really want to go back, you can talk to the master. I can't control you."

Songxian was right when she heard it, this stupid overlord even dared to throw face at the third master, so don't hold yourself back when the time comes!

Therefore, I had no choice but to stare at him unwillingly, throw off the handkerchief and leave. Qi Mu'an didn't care about her, and hugged her daughter from the nurse's hand, kissed her, and said: "I'll take my sister to rest for a while, when Mr. Lin is here, call me He comes in without waiting for me."

The nurse backed out in response, and Lin Xiao came after a short while, bringing a rather shocking news.

Fu Xiu went to Shunyang this time, and he really met an unusual person.

Guo Rui?

Qi Mu'an couldn't help frowning, what is this, it's all about the prince of the neighboring country, what does Fu Xiu want to do by hooking up with him secretly?

Collaborating with the enemy?It shouldn't be, now this is the world of his Fu family, why should he turn against himself?

After thinking about it, I felt something was wrong.

As the crown prince, Fu Zhong had already won a stable victory, but after the battle of Yaozhou, General Hong Choi sent by the crown prince was defeated, and the third prince Fu Xiu who went with him not only returned safely, but also his popularity and voice in the court became stronger and stronger. It got higher and higher, and he was very flattering to the emperor. It was like the crown prince defeated Fu Xiurong. What's the reason for this?

These won't all be coincidences.

Could it be that he reached an agreement with Guo Rui?Let him be the internal response in our army, and hand over a few cities to the opponent in exchange for the long-coveted reserve position.

If the crown prince fails one or two other errands, and his younger brother has always been so capable, it is not impossible for the crown prince to be replaced by someone else!

It makes sense after thinking about it this way, but what about Yun Chen?Where did they get Yun Chen, and what did they intend to do?

Seeing Qi Muan scratching his hair, Lin Xiao was also very anxious, and suddenly remembered something, and hurriedly reminded him: "Back then, the eldest prince of Qi State was killed by the young master. Could it be that Guo Rui came here looking for revenge?"

Qi Mu'an disagreed, "Wouldn't it be good if he just burned him to death for revenge? Why do you have to make a plan?"

In one sentence, the conjecture that had just had some eyebrows was driven into a dead end, and both the master and the servant couldn't help but feel a little frustrated.

However, Qi Mu'an always felt that Guo Rui was the most suspicious clue, so he ordered Lin Xiao to continue to investigate him, digging three feet to dig out any possible connection between him, Fu Xiu, and Yun Chen.

On the other hand, the shops, halls and even farms outside him are still closing down and being sold off one by one.

In this way, another four or five months passed seemingly without incident.

When the autumn wind picked up, Liangdu, the capital of Qi State, was in a hot spring villa in the suburbs under the name of Prince Guo Rui.

Under the window, a man with a beautiful face was sleeping on his side. His figure was tall and thin, but his belly was bulging high. His ink-like hair made his complexion pale and his lips pale. flavor inside.

There was a handsome servant in front of the bed, and suddenly he heard the door curtain move, and a tall and straight figure walked in quickly, and the servant hurriedly got up to greet him.

"Prince Wanfu."

Guo Rui nodded, and made a silent gesture towards him, the servant understood and backed away without a sound.

The master who took a nap in this room was brought back from Yaozhou by the crown prince half a year ago. It is said that they were people fleeing famine in the Tian Dynasty, but they had such a troubled face that they won the favor of their crown prince.

As soon as he got it back, he ostentatiously sealed him as the side king. Unexpectedly, his stomach was also upbeat, and he found out that he had a happy pulse after entering the mansion for more than a month. After calculation, he was probably conceived when he was in Yaozhou.

Now the crown prince almost exclusively dotes on him, and many concubines and concubines in the mansion have sent people to ask him quietly, wanting to know what kind of sorcery this foxy son used to confuse people, but he can't tell!

Because the gentleman on this side is really weird, he is sick and crooked and has no strength to walk on weekdays, and the prince never gives him a good face when he comes, let alone serve him and seduce him.

Every time the crown prince came to talk to him, he would get tired, and the crown prince didn't dare to work on him, so he went to the west chamber to sleep in a cold bed and quilt for one night, and then came back the next night.

It was like this almost every night, it was the first time he had seen this in the seven or eight years he had been a servant in the palace.

"Since you're awake, why don't you get up and sit down? I'm afraid your back will hurt if you always lie down."

Guo Rui sat down beside the bed with a smile, and the person who was still asleep just now woke up in response to the sound, and struggled to move to the back of the bed, as if he was very unwilling to let Guo Rui be next to him.

"You are still like this, knowing that I will not force you, why bother yourself."

Guo Rui seemed to be used to his resistance, and he was not angry at all. Instead, he carefully helped him sit up, and thoughtfully stuffed a soft embroidered cushion behind his waist.

Jian Yunchen looked coldly at the man in front of him, and after a few times he was able to speak: "You force me to take medicine every day, making me look like a useless person, so you can't force it? You have also read sage books .”

Guo Rui couldn't hide his frustration, but he still coaxed him nicely, "I've told you many times that I don't want you to be imprisoned by asking you to take medicine, but if you don't suppress your good martial arts, I will How can the imperial guards of the prince's mansion keep you? It's been half a year, and you can't understand my infatuation?"

Jian Yunchen's face, which was already whiter than paper, became more and more transparent. He simply turned his head away from him and subconsciously covered his abdomen with his hands.

Seeing his protective action, Guo Rui felt angry. After so long, why can't he forget that worthless second generation ancestor?What good does he have that I don't have?

Therefore, I couldn't help but lower my voice and said: "I have spent so much time to keep you by my side. In order to give you a quiet life, I offended the princess and promised to let you give birth to this evil obstacle. How many people are there in the world?" Can a man do this for you? You touch your conscience, why can't you keep it warm? "

Jian Yunchen rubbed his limp lower back calmly, but the words he spoke were as hard as ice.

"My husband's name is Qi Mu'an, and my name is Jian Yunchen. The name you made up for me and my background are all fake. How can a person who relies on lies and power to seek his own desires have the right to seek the sincerity of others?"

After a few words, he was panting and broke out in a cold sweat. Guo Rui never let go of his daily medication for fear of him escaping. Guy, he'd rather kill himself than face this guy's humiliation every day.
