Riding on the horse and looking at the Mansion of Wu Guo from afar, Li Hui suddenly felt a little apprehensive. In fact, it was not the first time he had visited the Mansion of Wu Guogong, and it was by no means that he had never seen Qin An, the Duke of Wu. His aunt, Princess Qinghe, never forgot to call him every time she set up a banquet, and her uncle Qin Shen also took him to visit his uncle and grandfather. Although it is rumored that this uncle and grandfather look down on Puwang Li Tai very much, he is still kind to a younger generation like him.

However, this is not the case today. He didn't come to visit his elders, but hoped to persuade Qin An to say a few good words for Li Heng, the king of Yue, in front of the sage. The elders who treated him with a pleasant face in the past may not take care of him now. I can't say that as soon as he says what he means, he will be thrown out. Because this elder is not only scheming, but also has obvious likes and dislikes, it is difficult to shake his thoughts and aspirations.

Not to mention that now Qin An has faded out of court politics for the sake of the future of the Wu State Mansion. Even according to the experience of his previous life, he had no good impression of Li Heng, the king of Yue. After all, Li Heng was not born by Empress Qin, he never had the blood of the Qin family, and he once brought a threat to his nephew's succession. Even if my grandmother lived a long life in this life, and there was no such thing as my grandfather thinking that King Jin was too weak and wanted to make King Yue the crown prince, this uncle and grandfather really had no reason to draw a sword to help.

However, after he discussed with the prince for a whole night, the only person he could think of who was most likely to protect Li Heng, the king of Yue, was Qin An, the Duke of Wu - among the courts, he was the only one who was out of the matter and could influence the court situation. After all, although he said that he was sick and recuperating at home, he was still the left servant of Shangshu Province above 10,000 people under one person, and his status was higher than that of Jian Guogong Xu Ye. What's more, he is also the uncle of the saint's relatives, the eldest princess of Qinghe, and his prestige among the royal relatives is also one of the best.

Although many thoughts turned in his heart, when Li Hui came to the Duke of Wu's mansion, his expression had completely calmed down.

Cousin Qin Cheng had already received his post and hurried out of the house to greet him. He is still young, less than fourteen years old, his face is still immature, but his words and deeds are like his father Qin Shen, looking very stable and mature. Although his temperament is diametrically opposed to Li Jing, the king of Tianshui County, and Zhou Yi, the second son of the eldest princess of Linchuan, the three of them have always been very good because they have grown up together since childhood. However, Li Hui does not often interact with them, but they also have a good impression of each other.

After the two cousins exchanged a few words, Qin Cheng led Li Hui to see the eldest princess of Qinghe. When entering the courtyard where the eldest princess of Qinghe lived, Qin Cheng suddenly slowed down and asked in a low voice, "Cousin, are you here to see your grandfather and aunt?" Do you want them to come forward and intercede for the second uncle and cousin Jingxing? ”

"Yes." Li Hui replied, "Second Father, they were suddenly wronged, and I don't know how many grievances they have suffered, let alone what punishment they will receive in the future. I must not watch the Yue Wangfu overturn, but after thinking about it, I can't do anything for a while. For now, the only way to do this is to ask someone to persuade my uncle. Ah Cheng, do you know what the attitude of your uncle and aunt is? ”

"A-Niang didn't want to believe that the second uncle would actually have a rebellious heart." Qin Cheng sighed, "But her grandfather told her not to act rashly. According to my grandfather, the situation is not yet clear, and the Yue Wangfu is just in trouble, and nothing will happen lightly. Wait a little longer, and after everyone in the court sings and I appears, it's not too late to enter the palace again. ”

After hearing this, Li Hui's eyes couldn't help but light up slightly: "Uncle and grandfather will enter the palace to speak for the second father?" ”

Qin Cheng was silent for a moment and shook his head: "Grandfather didn't mean that. He just reminded Ah Niang not to be too eager. ”

"I see, I can save it." Li Hui's eyes couldn't help but darken: maybe it was not just a reminder, but also a warning. Now I don't know what the sage's intentions are, if you rush into the palace to persuade you, it is very likely to backfire. Even if the eldest princess of Qinghe is the sister of the saint's concubine, the relationship between brother and sister is extremely deep because of their similar age, which is completely different from the abolished prince Li Song and her own grandfather Li Tai, and it cannot be too casual.

"Cousin, I want to save them too." Seeing that his brows were deep, Qin Cheng couldn't help but say again, "If there is something I can do, you can just say it." Jingxing's cousin has such a cheerful temperament, and he has never been able to tolerate sand in his eyes, how can he stand the current grievances? The most sad thing about him is probably not only that he has been wronged, but that he ...... It's the two bastards who are not as good as the two pigs and dogs of the King of Langling County and the King of Guizheng County! ”

Seeing that his eyebrows were depressed, and his indignation was overflowing, Li Hui suddenly felt that he could understand Empress Du's mood yesterday. Presumably, Queen Du looked at him at that time, just as he looked at this little cousin at this moment.

"Ah Cheng, I have received your heart. However, the current situation is complicated, and we, the younger generations, should not act rashly. If you can invite the elders to come forward, there may be a turnaround. ”

Hearing this, Qin Cheng was a little annoyed: "Then I will persuade my grandfather every day!" ”

"It's fine." Seeing that he rarely showed a childish appearance, Li Hui's expression was slightly gloomy, "As long as we brothers and sisters work together, we will definitely be able to save the second father's family." By the way, recently I have been a little inconvenient to go to the Yue Wangfu to visit the second mother and Huanniang (the county lord of Xin'an). If she had the chance, would her cousin be able to see how they were doing? How can I comfort them? ”

"A-Niang also mentioned this matter, and my sister also had this intention. She also went to see Sister Ji Niang (the county lord of Xuancheng) yesterday. Qin Cheng replied. Li Hui was secretly ashamed, he had forgotten the county lord of Xuancheng who had just been married. Fortunately, this cousin married into the side branch of the Duke of Wu and was already the wife of the Qin family. With the protection of Princess Qinghe, she will be safe and sound.

"That's very good, tomorrow when I go to visit the second father, cousin Qianli and Jing Xing, I can also bring them some news of the female dependents." Li Huidao. There are Queen Du and Princess Changning in the palace, but he is not worried about what grievances Li Heng and others will suffer in terms of food and clothing. However, there are all kinds of eyeliners staring at him all the time, and the news he can say is only that the ladies are safe and sound.

After seeing the eldest princess of Qinghe, Li Hui noticed that her expression was a little haggard. It seems that although it is still glossy and pink, there is a tired look in his eyes, and he is also very worried when he thinks about it. Originally, he wanted her to enter the palace to explore the sage's tone, but after listening to what Qin Cheng said, and seeing her current appearance, he couldn't bear to let her enter this pool of troubled waters.

So, he said, "Aunt, my nephew came today to ask to see my uncle and grandfather. I wonder if my aunt can take the time to take her nephew to visit him? ”

The eldest princess of Qinghe looked at him with a complicated expression, and said softly: "You kid, your passionate temperament is not at all like your grandfather and brother. She seemed to be immersed in the memories, and only after a moment did she turn around and take Li Hui to see Qin An in person. Qin Cheng silently stood by the side, and silently followed behind them, even if the eldest princess of Qinghe ordered him to go to the study to study, he was very stubborn and unwilling to leave.

The eldest princess of Qinghe reluctantly took both of them to the pavilion in the corner of the garden. This chamber is not large, hidden in the depths of the pine waves, and a gurgling stream flows around the room, quite a bit of artistic conception in the mountains and forests. There are also two or three wooden trees dotted outside, which are gradually forming some buds. When the breeze blows, the fragrance bursts, presumably when the mid-autumn is in full bloom, the nearby aroma can almost hit people.

"Ah Weng, Xuan Qi is here, I want to accompany Ah Weng to say a few words." The eldest princess of Qinghe said crisply.

The room was quiet, and after a while, a neutral voice replied: "Xuan Qi? San Lang of Pu Wangfu? Then let him in. Niang, you and Ah Cheng go back. It sounds like this uncle and grandfather are in good shape, and they don't look like a person who needs to "stay at home".

The eldest princess of Qinghe wanted to speak and stopped, and finally left with Qin Cheng. Qin Cheng was a little reluctant, looking back three times in one step, and staring at him again and again, as if he couldn't wait to "rush" in with Li Hui to beg for help. Seeing that it was rare for him to squeeze her eyebrows like this, the eldest princess of Qinghe couldn't help but smile and patted his back gently. He hung his head and left without saying a word.

Li Hui watched them go away, and then gently pushed open the door of the Xuan room. In an instant, a cool breath came to his face, and the residual heat on his body dissipated in an instant.

When he looked up, he saw ice cauldrons in all four corners of Xiao Xuan's room, slowly exhaling cold air. And on the wide Hu bed (back chair) in the center, a fat white man was leaning back comfortably, squinting his eyes at him. In front of him was an extremely scattered game of chess, as if it was just black and white clouds placed at random, but there was a vague sense of mystery.

As the saying goes, nephew Uncle Xiao. There is no doubt that among the three brothers born by Empress Qin, her grandfather Li Tai may be the nephew who is most like her uncle. Not only are there three or four points of resemblance in appearance, but even the body shape is also very similar. And Qin An, the Duke of Wu Guo, has always been nicknamed "dough ball", he was born tall and fat, and his face was extremely kind.

Xu was "recuperating" at home for many days, and because his heart was wide and fat, he seemed to be rounder again, more similar to Li Tai, who was out of breath after walking a few steps. When he squinted his eyes, if it weren't for two sharp gazes, it would have seemed almost the same as closing his eyes and taking a nap.

"The child has seen his uncle and grandfather." Li Hui saluted respectfully, and when he looked at Qin An, he couldn't help but think of Grandpa Li Tai again.

The appearance of the two is indeed similar, but when it comes to wisdom and behavior, their grandfather is far inferior to the old fox in front of him. Perhaps the reason why Qin An disliked Li Tai was also because he was too disappointed in him. If he gets along with his grandfather, sometimes he is helpless, sometimes he sighs, and sometimes he has to pretend to be naïve; When facing this uncle and grandfather, it was the opposite, it was always difficult to relax, and there was a slight timidity.

"No need to be polite, come and sit." The flesh on Qin An's cheeks trembled, and he said very bluntly, "The old man knows your intentions and is also very curious, how are you going to convince the old man?" ”

"......" for a while, Li Hui was stunned. The scenes that were constantly whirling and gradually clarifying the meaning of the intention in advance disappeared in an instant, and the beautiful words that were prepared were difficult to export.
