"Okay, Mu Qiu——I finally understand why you haven't told me..."

After seeing off his own sixth brother who came to the door, Song Zichen shook his head dumbfounded, and pointed at the person on the couch twice: "You are not looking for a relationship for me, you are looking for me A little uncle..."

"I couldn't confirm it at the time, I just had some vague guesses—besides, if I said it directly, His Highness might not be willing to bring him back."

Mu Qiu couldn't help chuckling, coughed twice before answering solemnly.Song Zichen was speechless for a moment, stood tongue-tied for a while, and finally shook his head with a wry smile: "Okay, after all, you're right—you brought people back anyway, so what can you do? I really can't blame Lao Guan. That younger brother refuses to recognize this child no matter what, isn't that a generation away..."

"There is not much difference in seniority. When the princess of the Huns came, she was said to be ordered to take care of the proton of the Huns, but she was still the proton's aunt. It's just that the Huns never respect women, so there has never been any real identity of."

Mu Qiu shook his head with a smile, and patiently explained.He was about to talk about the past with him in detail, but the conversation stopped suddenly, and his eyes turned to the door, he shook his head helplessly and chuckled: "It seems that even if His Highness hides here, there are still as many visitors as outside. How much is it..."

"Why is someone here again - this palace is also a place where anyone can enter?"

It's rare to have time to spend a good time with Mu Qiu, but unexpectedly, someone came outside to disturb him again.Song Zichen muttered sullenly, reluctantly lingering towards the door, and opened the door, the words that had come to his lips were caught off guard in his throat: "This—the concubine Xian..."

"I have seen His Royal Highness the Seventh."

Concubine Xian's status in the palace was not considered high, she wore a hood to cover her head, and bowed towards him gracefully.Song Zichen didn't know what to say for a while, and stood at the door in a daze, when he heard Mu Qiu's voice behind him: "My Lady Xian, please come in if you have something to say, if someone sees you here, I'm afraid there will be some trouble."

"That's right, my lady, please come in, if you have anything to do, come in and talk about it."

After being reminded by him, Song Zichen suddenly remembered such a thing, and hurriedly greeted him, and let Concubine Xian into the room sideways: "I won't go around with you anymore—the lady is here for Xiaojiu's sake. Is something wrong?"

"To tell you the truth, Your Highness, this matter is true—I don't know how to speak to His Highness Seventh..."

Concubine Xian gave a helpless wry smile, took off her hood, and revealed a face that had already taken on some vicissitudes: "Is Qiu'er's illness better? I was shocked when I heard that something happened in the palace today, and I counted the time." Almost, I hurried over..."

"Concubine Xian don't have to worry about it, I just met by chance, so it's okay."

Mu Qiu shook his head, replied in a gentle voice, propped up his body a little more, and his expression suddenly became solemn: "I dare to ask—does your empress know what the nine princesses have done?"

"It is precisely because I know what Jiu'er has done that I am so restless that I risked myself to come here..."

Concubine Xian shook her head with a wry smile, her gaze couldn't help dimming: "Jiu'er's temper is like her father's, she is more stubborn than anyone else, and she doesn't listen to persuasion. She has made up her mind, even if it's me As a mother, there is no way to persuade..."

"I know Xiao Jiu's temper. If she was born as a man, I may not be able to beat her."

Song Zichen looked at Kong and made a joke, which eased the atmosphere a little, and poured a cup of tea for Concubine Xian: "Madam, you have to tell us what Xiaojiu did first, so that we can give you an idea. I can help you. Do you think that's the case?"

"What His Highness the Seventh Prince said is, it's just this matter - it really makes people feel a little unsure how to speak..."

Concubine Xian sighed helplessly, lowered her head and remained silent for a while, then finally raised her head as if she had made up her mind, and met his gaze firmly: "Your Highness, do you know that any daughter who marries into Hou Yunhui's family must To get rid of the title of princess. There is neither a princess mansion nor a son-in-law, so I will be considered as a member of the Yunhuihou mansion from now on?"

"I've heard of it, and I used this matter to persuade Xiao Jiu at the beginning - I always think it's good to be a princess and be free, and save myself from always bowing my head and wronging myself for others. But Xiao Jiu couldn't listen to it at all. , but in turn mocked me, saying that it was because I had an enmity with Yunhuihou's mansion that I could not understand her marrying in."

Song Zichen nodded, touched the back of his head again, and said in a helpless tone, "I thought about what I was thinking, and said that there was indeed such a reason in it, but in the end she refused to talk to me anymore. It's..."

"His Highness's persuasive ability is really——to make people awe-inspiring..."

Unexpectedly, he actually admitted that he didn't deal with Yunhuihou's mansion. Mu Qiu, who happened to miss this part, couldn't help but widen his eyes, covered his mouth and coughed twice, and patted his chest with lingering fear: "Look at it this way. Come on, the nine princesses married to Yunhuihou's mansion, at least a small part of the reason is that His Highness angered her..."

"Did I say the wrong thing again?"

Song Zichen blinked his eyes blankly, feeling that he was really wronged, and shook his head discouraged: "Forget it, it's like this anyway——When Xiao Jiu married, I didn't have the nerve to show up, so I begged Got an errand and went down to do it. But I still don't understand, what does the father's matter have to do with Xiao Jiu?"

"To tell you the truth, Your Highness—actually, at that time, the Emperor was extremely opposed to this marriage."

Concubine Xian sighed lightly, shook her head slightly, and then said in a slow voice: "At the beginning, the emperor was having a dispute with Marquis Yunhui, and he once said angrily that he would never ask the daughter of the royal family to marry Marquis Yunhui's mansion again. , and will never accept the daughter of Yunhuihou's mansion as the queen and concubine. But not long after this incident, Jiu'er suddenly said that she would marry into Yunhuihou's mansion, and no one would change her mind... ..."

"Actually, I haven't been able to figure out until now, how did Xiao Jiu hook up with that kid in the Hou Mansion."

When he mentioned it, Song Zichen felt a little inexplicable, frowned slightly and shook his head: "There were indeed several poetry meetings at that time, but logically speaking, it is impossible for a bastard to have neither status nor fame. Come—Mu Qiu, what are you dragging me for?"

"How did your highness go out in the first place, and how did the nine princesses meet the young master of Yunhuihou's mansion...don't get to the bottom of it, your highness."

Mu Qiu smiled helplessly, shook his head lightly, and patiently explained in a low voice.Song Zichen suddenly realized, and slapped her on the leg: "No wonder that little girl asked me to wear men's clothes, so it turned out to be—"

"Your Highness, Your Highness—there is no need to say this again."

Mu Qiu only felt a headache, raised his hand to cover his mouth, and shook his head helplessly: "How did the ninth princess meet the young master of the Ling family? If I take the liberty to ask, please forgive Mu Qiu for his disrespect."

"It's a bit presumptuous to say, I have always regarded you and His Highness the Seventh Prince as my own. If you have something to say, it's okay to say it, so you don't have to worry about offending anyone."

Concubine Xian watched the two children quarreling together, her eyes were filled with a little warmth of relief, and she replied warmly.But Mu Qiu also nodded slightly, then met his gaze, and said in a slow voice: "The ninth princess married—is it because she fell in love with Young Master Ling, or because she fell in love with the status of the Marquis of Yunhui?" ?”

He asked this question quite directly, and even someone like Song Zichen who was often slow to react couldn't help being taken aback by him: "Mu Qiu, how could you ask like that—"

"Qiu'er's question is right on point... To tell you the truth, His Highness Qi, Jiu'er is actually——————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————— tree, it should be a towering tree..."

Concubine Xian interrupted his words in a gentle voice, sighed very lightly, and there was a bit of helplessness in her eyes: "I also persuaded her, but she refused to listen no matter what, only saying that this road will not go Wrong, and because of this, I had a big quarrel with the emperor. But right after that, there was a sudden flood in the south."

"I remember this. That's what I asked for at the beginning."

Song Zichen nodded, but some serious thoughts suddenly flashed in his eyes, but he still didn't speak out easily.Concubine Xian also nodded slightly, and paused for a moment before saying: "At that time, the national treasury was empty, and there was really no money for disaster relief. At this time, the Yunhui Hou Mansion suddenly took the lead in donating 20 taels of silver in the court hall. This urgent matter was resolved. The emperor was quite moved, and he wanted to repair it with Yunhuihou's mansion, but he didn't have a good face. It happened that the incident of Jiu'er gave both sides a reason, which is exactly Therefore, the emperor's attitude towards Jiu'er suddenly became much better."

"So that's what happened. I also said that if Father didn't like Xiao Jiu, why would he accept her sachet..."

Song Zichen suddenly understood, nodded slightly, and waited for Concubine Xian to continue.It's just that Concubine Xian was silent for a longer time this time, as if she was talking about something extremely difficult, she sighed softly after a long time and said: "I also thought at that time that everything had turned around and everything would be fine Yes. But at this moment, the third prince suddenly came to the door..."

"Why is he indispensable everywhere..."

Song Zichen rubbed his forehead with a headache, couldn't help complaining in a low voice, calmed down and said again: "What is Song Zixuan going to do, won't he ask Xiao Jiu to do things for him again?"
