Qiyang Palace, King Qiyang had just returned to the mansion in the morning, and as soon as he entered the middle gate, a small servant hurriedly ran over, saluted, and said: "King Jun, the third young master vomited again after taking the medicine, you can take a look." ”

The third young master of the Qiyang palace is from the side concubine Qiao, and the weakness brought down in the mother's womb, although it is a concubine, but because there is such a single seedling left in the Qiyang Palace, it is now very valued by the king of Qiyang.

These days, Concubine Qiao inevitably trembled, and the whole house knew that King Qiyang was worried about the third young master's return to Beijing, and he also made a special trip to the Great Power Temple to pray for the third young master. The people are saying that when the king of Qiyang returns to Beijing this time, he will definitely ask the third young master to be crowned the prince of Qiyang, and in the future, there will only be Concubine Qiao in the palace of Qiyang, and even the princess of the county will have to avoid her edge in the future.

It is also true that now that the princess of the county has no son, she has no dependence, and has been living in the Buddhist hall for many years, and the person in charge of the house is Concubine Qiao, and the third young master is the son of Concubine Qiao, and he must be the future king of the county. is accustomed to holding high and stepping low, and when they see the wind making the rudder, the people naturally fall to Concubine Qiao's mother and son.

After this little guy passed, he had already expected that King Qiyang would be anxious and worried, and immediately went to Mingjin Courtyard where the third young master lived with him, and he didn't even wait for King Qiyang to speak, he had already gotten up and twisted half of his body to lead the way.

Who knew that King Qiyang didn't make a sound, his footsteps stopped, and he didn't even mean to move, so the little guy's twisting movement suddenly became abrupt.

King Qiyang stared at the little guy, and recognized that it was the third young master's personal servant Chongshan, but he didn't feel that his eyebrows were slightly frowned, and for the first time, he found that the little guy in Mingjin Courtyard was so unruly.

His face sank, and he snorted, "Shouting, this king has not been aroused, you as a slave have climbed up, this king has not spoken, you have made a decision for this king as a minion, it is really good!" ”

Chongshan saw that King Qiyang was angry, and his face couldn't help but turn pale, and he knelt on the ground and kowtowed, but he was not very afraid in his heart.

The young master of his family is the lifeblood of the county king, and he has served the young master for many years, and now the young master is sick, how could the county king send himself to block the young master.

Chongshan only thought that King Qiyang had encountered something troublesome in the early dynasty, but he just reprimanded himself for a few words, but who knew that King Qiyang suddenly said in a deep voice: "Unrepentant thing, you usually serve the third young master like this?" Come on, drag it out and sell it directly! ”

Chongshan couldn't believe it, he trembled all over, and then he knew that he was afraid, but he hadn't begged for mercy yet, and Zhang Bai, the housekeeper who followed behind, had already signaled someone to come forward and gag him and pulled him down.

Steward Zhang couldn't help but be surprised when he saw King Qiyang striding towards the study in the front yard instead of going to the Mingjin Courtyard of the Third Young Master, and followed closely, hesitated and said, "The Third Young Master's ...... over there."

Steward Zhang is the son of the family in the house, the Zhang family is an old man who has used it for several lifetimes, and Steward Zhang is the little servant of King Qiyang and has always been loyal.

Now that even he is interceding for the third young master, King Qiyang paused, glanced at Steward Zhang, and said, "The third young master vomited and took the post to ask the imperial doctor to look at it again, what's the use of looking for the king of this county?" ”

Steward Zhang was stunned by King Qiyang's heart, and hurriedly responded, and instructed the little servant to take the post from the county king's mansion to ask for a doctor.

At this time, the king of Qiyang had already entered the study, summoned Liu Zhishan to come with him, and asked, "A few days ago, I told you to check the affairs of the Anhou Mansion, but can it be done?" ”

Liu Zhishan hurriedly presented a stack of papers with the situation of the Ding'an Hou Mansion to the King of Qiyang, and said: "These are the situations of the Ding'an Hou Mansion, but the time is still short, and some secret things have not been found out for a while, and the county king is asked to forgive two days." ”

King Qiyang nodded, flipped through the paper, and waved his hand to signal Liu Zhishan to step back.

King Qiyang didn't read two pages, and Rumo, the eldest maid of Concubine Qiao's side outside, asked to see her outside, and was brought in, so Rumo knelt on the ground and cried and kowtowed: "King of the county, the third young master fainted, and his condition was repeated and severe, and the six gods of the side concubine were so frightened that they fainted, please go to Mingjin Courtyard to have a look." ”

King Qiyang couldn't rest assured, and when he heard this, he frowned and hurriedly got up and went to Mingjin Courtyard. When he arrived, the maids in the yard came and went, and there was a faint sound of crying in the house.

When King Qiyang entered the house, he saw Concubine Qiao sitting on the edge of the bed, holding the hand of the third young master Xiao Jingting and wiping her tears.

Concubine Qiao is thirty-five or sixteen years old this year, only she is well maintained, and now she looks like a beautiful woman who is less than thirty. The body is graceful, the appearance is delicate and beautiful, a woman of this age pretends to be soft and coaxes men to pity, most of them will make people feel disobedient and self-defeating, but Concubine Qiao only makes people feel full of charm and pitiful.

She rushed to King Qiyang's body and grabbed King Qiyang's clothes until tears fell, and said in a trembling voice: "Master, Brother Ting'er......"

As he spoke, he couldn't cry anymore, his eyes slid down his white face like a bead, helpless and pitiful. King Qiyang looked at the pale and silent concubine lying on the bed, in the end, he was also the son who grew up watching from a young age, since the two sons-in-law were gone, in the past ten years, he has put his father's heart on this concubine, and it is inevitable to worry at this moment.

While comforting Concubine Qiao, she was annoyed and asked to ask the imperial doctor, and when the imperial doctor arrived, she asked for a prescription, and King Qiyang watched the maid boil the medicine again, and Concubine Qiao personally fed the decoction little by little, and watched Xiao Jingting sleep, it was already more than an hour later.

King Qiyang and Concubine Qiao moved to the west room to speak, Concubine Qiao pressed the moist corners of her eyes, and said with sorrow: "Master, Brother Ting'er's body is so bad, and now that this condition has recurred, the concubine thinks if it is time to marry Brother Ting'er a wife?" First, the maids are always not dedicated to their wives when they serve, and then come, Brother Ting'er is not young, he is like this, and marrying a wife as soon as possible can also open up branches and leaves for the Qiyang Mansion as soon as possible. The concubine knows that these are beyond her identity, her sister is Brother Ting'er's mother-in-law, and Brother Ting'er's family affairs should also be handled by her sister, and the concubine is not qualified to interfere, but my sister is not in good health now, and the concubine does not dare to bother my sister, but Brother Ting'er is almost twenty years old now......"

King Qiyang frowned when he heard this, and said: "Madame is not in good health, so she relied on Brother Ting'er's family affairs to the master early in the morning, because the master felt that Brother Ting'er was not in good health, and he was afraid that the young couple would inevitably be in love if they got married early, and their bodies were becoming more and more empty, so I didn't talk about family affairs until now." ”

In fact, King Qiyang thought about asking for the prince for his concubine, but he was really ashamed of his wife, and he thought that he would wait for the concubine to be the son of the family before he could say that he would be a good kiss, which delayed the marriage.

It's just that now that things have changed, King Qiyang naturally won't talk about such thoughts to Concubine Qiao anymore.

Concubine Qiao also expected the meaning of King Qiyang, so she had the words to urge her son to marry, she was actually urging King Qiyang to ask for the title of prince for his son as soon as possible, so as to marry as soon as possible.

"Master, the concubine doesn't mean to complain about her sister." Concubine Qiao stood up in fear, her face was at a loss, and when she saw King Qiyang looking over, she bit her lip, and then said, "Concubine is just ...... It's just that a few days ago, I went to the house of the Ministry of Rites to participate in the cherry blossom viewing party......"

Concubine Qiao said, seeing that King Qiyang had not shown displeasure and had been listening carefully, she let go of her words and continued: "The concubine saw the lady of the Ministry of Shangshu Guo, and also saw her second daughter, the child has a good appearance, and the Guo family also seems to be close, and the concubine thinks that Shangshu Mansion seems to have the meaning of marriage." ”

Concubine Qiao's words made King Qiyang squint, the Mansion of the Ministry of Shangshu is the mansion of the top ministers, although the second daughter is not as noble as the eldest daughter, but she is also a concubine. Now Xiao Jingting's identity is unworthy of it, that is, Xiao Jingting canonized the prince, and Shangshufu is afraid that he will not mind marrying his concubine as a concubine.

Concubine Qiao's intention in saying this is naturally self-evident. King Qiyang stared at Concubine Qiao with a slightly heavy gaze, staring at Concubine Qiao's hair, his expression stiffened a little, and King Qiyang suddenly stood up and said: "Brother Ting'er's marriage is not something you can worry about in a side room, and take good care of Brother Ting'er, don't think much about it." ”

After he said that, he turned around and walked out of the house, Concubine Qiao's face changed slightly, rubbed her handkerchief, and saw the figure of King Qiyang disappearing into the house, so she gritted her teeth and greeted the big girl beside her, Rumo, and said in a low voice: "Some time ago, Mrs. Ri suddenly went out to General Zhenwei's mansion for what the hell, you can think about it again!" If you really can't find out, you can find out who the princess saw in the General's Mansion and what guests the General's Mansion can go. In addition, on Zhuangzi's side, send two more people over to keep an eye on it, and be sure to figure out what the princess of the county is doing in Zhuangzi! Even if you smash it with gold and silver, you have to figure out these things back and forth to me! ”

She felt that something big was really going to happen in the house, the county king's reaction was getting more and more weird, and the county princess was even more, how did the good Buddha come out, the county princess began to be weird after the county king frequently came to the main courtyard that day, what happened to the main courtyard that day, what did the county king and the county princess say.

I don't understand, Concubine Qiao only feels uncomfortable scratching her heart and lungs.

As soon as King Qiyang came out of the Mingjin Courtyard, Steward Zhang hurried over and said, "The king of the county, the prince of King Jing came to visit, and the old slave has already welcomed people to the study in the front yard to serve tea." ”

King Qiyang and Qin Yan have also dealt with each other, after all, both of them are generals with troops, and they also have some contacts on weekdays, so they didn't show any surprise when they heard the words, so they just nodded and strode to the study.

Qin Yan didn't sit down in the study, he just stood in the middle of the room and looked at the sand table in the room, heard the footsteps and turned around, and saluted King Qiyang who came in quickly, and said, "I heard that the third young master of the house is sick again, and this time is really disturbing." ”

Hearing Qin Yan say this, King Qiyang was a little pale, and he was a little displeased with the weak and sick concubine who was known to everyone in the capital.

Qiyang Wangfu started with military merits, how can such a sick son afford to hold up the façade, I am afraid that now I don't know how many people outside are making fun of Qiyang Wangfu.

"The dog is sick, and I'm smiling." King Qiyang raised his hand and invited Qin Yan to sit down, and the subordinates all retreated with tea, Fang said, "General Qin has nothing to do but go to the Three Treasures Palace, I'm afraid there is something wrong with visiting the county king's mansion today, right?" ”

King Qiyang and Qin Yan both have heavy troops, although they have some communication on weekdays, but they are not easy to socialize, so as not to arouse the emperor's suspicion, so Qin Yan came to the door today, although King Qiyang was not very surprised, but he also knew that Qin Yan would not come for no reason.

King Qiyang is a bold character, Qin Yan doesn't make many detours, his expression is cold and straight to the point: "The younger generation likes a woman and wants to hire her as a wife, so I have come to inform the king of the county." ”

King Qiyang picked up the teacup and just took a sip of tea, and when he heard Qin Yan say this, he almost didn't squirt out the tea, and swallowed it tightly, but he couldn't help coughing several times.

He really didn't understand who Qin Yan had taken a fancy to who he was going to marry, what could it have to do with him, what was it called to sue him, and he was not Qin Yan's father and elders.

The corners of King Qiyang's mouth twitched, staring at Qin Yan, seeing that he didn't mean the slightest joke on his face, King Qiyang became more and more confused.

He thought that there was something wrong with the woman that Qin Yan had a fancy, King Jing disagreed, and Qin Yan wanted to find him to persuade King Jing? But this is not right, firstly, he and King Jing don't have much friendship, and then Qin Yan fancies, everyone should look for the queen mother in the palace, and find what to do in the Qiyang Palace.

Seeing that King Qiyang didn't answer for a while, Qin Yan said: "Doesn't the king of the county ask who the younger generation's favorite woman is?" ”

When King Qiyang heard Qin Yan ask like this, he became more and more suspicious, and said, "Could it be that the girl knows the king of this county?" Is it the girl from my Xiao Mansion side branch mansion? ”

Qin Yan shook his head, hooked his lips and said, "It's not the girl from the side branch, it's the eldest lady of the county king's mansion." ”

Prince Qiyang has no heirs, only three sons, there is no girl in the house at all, but the king of Qiyang has a younger sister, when the old King Qiyang was alive, everyone in the house called his sister Miss, but later his sister was canonized as the county lord of Pingyang, and the people changed their names, and now his sister and granddaughter are running all over the ground.

But apart from the sister, where is there any eldest lady in Qiyang Palace?

King Qiyang remembered a ridiculous thing he had heard, saying that there was a son of a rich family who somehow fell in love with a housekeeper's mother, and despite the fact that the housekeeper's mother was more than 20 years older than him, he insisted on taking the housekeeper's mother as a concubine, and he was very fond of it.

Thinking that the county lord of Pingyang is now in his early forties, but the maintenance is good, and he looks like he is in his thirties, which is quite graceful and dignified. Thinking that Qin Yan had always been an informal, reckless person, King Qiyang's face turned red, and he stared at Qin Yan stunned for a while, as if he had been struck by lightning, and gasped and said: "What eldest lady, there is no eldest lady in the county king's mansion!" Someone, send off! ”

Qin Yan naturally didn't know that this kung fu King Qiyang had already made up a lot of brains, and thought of him as a beast who coveted his grandmother, he looked at King Qiyang's angry appearance, and was a little surprised, and said: "There is no eldest lady in the county king's mansion now, but it doesn't mean that there will be no one in the future, the sister of the grandson of the county king's grandson is naturally the granddaughter of the county king." The granddaughter of the county king is naturally the eldest lady in the house. ”

Qin Yan's words, although King Qiyang didn't think clearly for a while in his anger, he also heard it, and this matter had nothing to do with what he thought was the eldest lady.

Qin Yan is talking about his granddaughter, wait, what do you mean by his grandson's sister? He only has one grandson now, and it's still a secret.

Could it be that Qin Yan already knew Su Jinghua's identity? King Qiyang felt that he understood what Qin Yan meant, his face changed slightly, he squinted at Qin Yan, and saw that the little guy guarding the courtyard heard the movement and came in, and King Qiyang hurriedly sighed.

"It's okay, go out, stay in the yard."

The little guy didn't dare to slack off and retreated, and Qin Yan sat on the circle chair calmly from beginning to end, and at this moment, seeing that King Qiyang had understood what he meant, Qin Yan raised his eyebrows and said: "What the younger generation is talking about is the current Su Wu girl, who wants to come to Qiyang Wangfu to produce a princess Jing, and the king of the county is also happy to see it, right?" ”

King Qiyang's pupils shrank, and he was speechless for a while, but a huge wave surged in his heart.

He really didn't expect that his grandson, the sister of the concubine, would have such ability, so that the prince of Jingwang, who was not close to women, was moved by his heart, not to mention that he didn't care about his low background, and he bothered so much to marry and go back to be the main house.

The grandson must be recognized, and if you recognize one more granddaughter, there is naturally no problem, although there is no blood relationship, but it doesn't matter. As long as outsiders think that it is a girl from Qiyang Palace, as long as that girl is married from this Qiyang Palace, then Qiyang Palace, will be her maiden home in the future. King Jing's son is also the grandson-in-law of the county king's mansion.

King Qiyang thought, his face changed slightly, and there was more excitement and fanaticism between his eyebrows.

I thought that the Qiyang Mansion was already sunset, but now that he can prosper for another hundred years, as a family member, no matter how restrained and calm he is, he will inevitably show his tracks.

Thinking of the concubine, King Qiyang hesitated slightly. He originally had to recognize Su Jinghua, but he didn't really think about who would inherit the position of the son.

One is the grandson who just knew about Cunzài, and the other is the son who has grown up, and there will always be a tilt emotionally. Although he looked at Su Jinghua like a martial arts practitioner and also pinned high hopes on him, but after all, the child was still young and lacked feelings with him, so King Qiyang naturally couldn't treat Su Jinghua as his lifeline like the Tang family.

One is the grandson of the concubine, and the other is the son of the concubine, who will inherit the title is not upright, it depends on his meaning.

He originally wanted to recognize the person back, but the matter of the title would have to be seen for a few more years, but now if he recognizes Su Jinghua's sister, and this sister marries into the Jingwang Mansion.

Then there is no possibility of inheriting the title on the concubine's side, and emotionally King Qiyang is struggling.

He thought of Concubine Qiao's side knock for a while, and the people saw the wind and steered, and suddenly felt that Concubine Qiao had been too arrogant and restless over the years, thinking of the old wife's old and emaciated face, and thinking of the future of Qiyang Palace, King Qiyang clenched his fists, and suddenly laughed, and said: "What the prince said is right, the sister of the grandson of the king of this county is naturally the eldest lady of the county king's mansion!" ”

Qin Yan was not surprised at all that the King of Qiyang would respond to this matter, and when he heard this, he got up and made a big salute to the King of Qiyang, and said: "Thank you to the county king for the family affairs between the junior and the eldest lady of your mansion, and when the county prince's mansion takes back the little young master and the eldest lady, the younger generation will ask the emperor to give him a marriage, and Yucheng will do this." ”

The king of Qiyang waved his hand and said: "The prince of the world is not busy with the king of this county, this matter is very important, and the king of this county will always have to discuss with his wife in Zhuangzi." ”

Qin Yan was naturally not worried that the princess of the county would oppose this matter, so he just smiled when he heard this, and said, "That's natural, so the junior will go back and wait for good news." ”

The two exchanged a few more words, and Qin Yan left the Qiyang Palace, and the King of Qiyang did not stay for a moment, and directly got on the horse and ran to Zhuangzi, where the princess of the county lived.

When he arrived in Zhuangzi, Tang happened to be in the garden behind Zhuangzi and Yingluo sisters and brothers in the greenhouse to clean up flowers and trees. King Qiyang didn't wait for the Tang family to return to the room and strode directly to the greenhouse, and when he arrived outside the greenhouse, he heard the sound of laughter inside, and the atmosphere was quite warm.

He stood at the door of the conservatory and looked in, and saw Su Jinghua holding a bonsai of a good banyan tree in both hands, Yingluo holding flower scissors in his hand, and Tang Shi was standing next to him, smiling and pointing to the bonsai, as if teaching Yingluo how to build a bonsai.

Today's rare warm sun is shining, the sun is shining through the window into the greenhouse, there is a beam of light hitting the three people, the old and young are all smiling on their faces at the moment, looking at it makes people's hearts touch, and they can't bear to come forward to disturb.

Anyone who looks at a scene will feel that this is the three grandchildren and grandchildren, so natural and harmonious, so a good picture of the grandson.

King Qiyang sighed and glanced at it a few times before his gaze fell on Yingluo.

The little girl wore a goose-yellow gown, a soft pink skirt underneath, and a simple bun on her head, on which a string of pink pearl beads was wrapped. is dressed very plainly, but it is difficult to hide her beautiful appearance, her manners are generous, her demeanor is dignified, and her eyebrows and eyes are beautiful but with a soft temperament.

Earlier in the Great Power Temple, King Qiyang had seen Yingluo, but he didn't pay much attention to it at that time, but at this moment King Qiyang looked at her carefully, and the more he looked, the more satisfied he became.

Thinking that this girl could be loved by the wife of General Zhenwei's mansion, and seeing that the old wife seemed to like this girl a lot, King Qiyang felt that having such a granddaughter was really a blessing for the palace of Qiyang, and couldn't help nodding again and again.
