When Xibao and Qi You returned to the mansion, it was just in time for dinner, so Qi You accompanied Xibao to have a delicious dinner, and Qi You asked during the banquet: "Your eldest brother is decided, don't you really need to mention it to General Zhao or Mrs. Zhao again?" ”

Xibao said while holding the dishes: "Presumably, the eldest brother will explain the situation to his father and mother when he returns home today, so the concubine naturally doesn't have to worry anymore." ”

Qi You smiled: "The difference between your attitude before and after is not small." ”

Xibao said lightly: "Knowing the eldest brother's mind, it will naturally be easier." ”

Qi You then asked, "Aren't you curious why this king and your eldest brother have such a tacit understanding?" ”

Xibao pouted and said: "Of course I'm curious, but the prince won't ask if he doesn't say that the concubine body, after all, this is your man's business, although he is indeed a little angry today, but the concubine body still knows the proportion." ”

Qi You just likes this little girl's temperament, she is smarter than anyone else when she should be smart, and she is not bad when she should pretend to be stupid.

It's just that this matter is also related to Xibao herself, Qi You didn't intend to hide it from her, but he was just trying to pick a suitable time to explain it to her, but he didn't expect to mention it inadvertently today, I thought that this girl would always ask relentlessly, who would have thought that she would be angry for a while, and she didn't even ask after that.

This made Qi You even more concerned, so he put down the dishes and chopsticks and looked at Xibao seriously and said: "Yun Tilt (Xibao), today's matter is not hidden from you, you also understand that your current identity is destined to the people close to you, especially your closest relatives are inevitably related to this king, although you have not taken the initiative to mention it or even some deliberately want to low-key this relationship, but these things will still happen, as for your eldest brother is indeed a character, there is great potential This king is indeed more appreciative, Thanks to your relationship, this king can work with your eldest brother more easily, but it saves a lot of unnecessary trouble, I know that you don't like to participate in this kind of struggle for power and profit, and I also try to ensure that you will not be involved, but like you said, there are some things between us men after all, and it is inevitable that your eldest brother will be involved, and you and your eldest brother will not tell you because I don't want you to worry..." Qi You said with a slight pause and then continued: " You are such a smart little girl, you should understand the hard work of the master. ”

Xibao stared at Qi You's eyes and looked at her seriously, as if he wanted to see something in his eyes, but Qi You kept looking at her with serious but sincere eyes.

Xibao then understood that Qi You was implicitly telling her that she married into the Yongwang Mansion meant that the Zhao Mansion would share the glory and disgrace with the Yongwang Mansion from now on, and she had no choice or refusal.

It's just that does this mean that all women who marry into the Yongwang Mansion have such a fate, and Xibao asked out loud when he was puzzled: "Lord, is this the choice of every woman who marries into the palace?" ”

Qi You knew what she was worried about, so he shook his head slightly and said: "Yun Tian, you remember, this kind of thing is only said once, and the only people who can accompany me Qi You to share the glory and disgrace are you and the Zhao Mansion behind you, so you know it well." ”

Xibao was stunned and looked at Qi You for a long time, before he suddenly laughed and said, "Lord Wang, why do you trust the concubine so much?" ”

Such words are tantamount to expressing one thing, that is, she Zhao Yuntian already has an irreplaceable and indelible position in Qi You's heart, although this has not yet reached what Xibao wants in his heart, but it is not disappointing to hear Qi You's assurance.

Qi You said: "Yun Tilt, if you say that it is because of your intuition, do you believe it?" ”

Xibao was stunned for a moment, then smiled and said, "Believe, I believe what the master said." ”

This time Qi You was stunned, in fact, he really didn't lie, he couldn't tell his inner thoughts, Qi You was confused, worried, embarrassed, and even rejected such a decision now, but he didn't know why even if he felt this or that, but he felt that there was a voice in the dark telling him, 'It's her, it's her.' ’

For the first time, Qi You, who was as rational as ice, obeyed the deepest thoughts in his heart for the first time, and it was also the first time when he trusted emotion.

When this idea in his heart slowly became clear, he found that he was eager for this idea to come true, and at that time he was also shocked by his crazy idea and broke out in a cold sweat, but later with the contact with Xibao and her family, he found that maybe his intuition was right this time, so he relaxed his reason and slowly fell into it, thinking that his words were a bit bluffing, but he didn't expect this little girl to have no doubts at all, so she simply believed it.

Looking at Qi You's surprised eyes, Xibao knew that she had been hit, so he smiled and said: "Lord, the concubine has said many times, as long as it is the concubine body that the prince says, she will believe it." ”

Qi You was relieved, yes, maybe it was Xibao who blindly believed in him so confidently that made him willing to try to take off his mask and get along with her with his true face, and sure enough, the trust was mutual,

Being so unconditionally trusted by the little girl makes people feel extremely comfortable, it has been a long time since a woman can be so intimate, so trusted, so dependent on him, thinking of this, Qi You also put down the burden in his heart and continued to eat.

However, Xibao continued to eat while secretly planning in his heart, maybe it was not a bad thing for the eldest brother to contact Qi You, maybe she was too narrow-minded before.

She has never wanted to involve the Zhao Mansion in a power struggle because of her identity, because she knows her father's personality very well, and she is really extremely upright and stubborn, and she doesn't like or be suitable for fighting for power with those scheming foxes in the officialdom.

Although the eldest brother has a relatively calm temperament, he has always been indifferently unwilling to take the initiative to participate in these nonsense things, and the second brother is even more short-tempered, and it is the best state for their Zhao family to be smooth and smooth.

It's just that such an illusion was completely disrupted by the holy decree of marriage, and the eldest brother, who has always been elegant and calm and does not care about court affairs, also got up and began to wander among various power groups.

It can only be said that Qi You is right, marrying into the palace means that she and the Zhao Mansion will no longer have a low-key and smooth life, they are bound to be slowly involved in the center of this struggle, since it can't be avoided, they can only try to make themselves stronger.

Qi You and Xibao are still eating, Zhao Yunfan has also returned to the house to accompany the second elder for dinner, Zhao Zongzhen has not yet asked for forgiveness from his wife, and he can only live in the study temporarily.

This son is the most important thing, Zhang didn't care about his husband's cheeky behavior, Zhang asked with concern: "Fan'er, what is the matter with going to see my sister today?" ”

In fact, Zhang guessed something, since he said that he was going to see his daughter, maybe because he mentioned the matter of his son and the Marquis of Anping Mansion in his daughter, then the son might be able to bring some good news.

Zhao Yunfan said with a smile: "Mother, my son went to see his sister today because of three things, one is that he has not seen his sister for more than a year and is very worried, and second, it just so happens that the books that my sister asked me to find a few days ago are ready, these three..."

Zhang said nervously: "What is San... You stinky boy, say it quickly!" ”

Looking at his mother's surprised and anxious look, Zhao Yunfan said slowly: "Sanma, I accompanied my sister today to meet Jian Miaoling, a girl from the Marquis of Anping's mansion. ”

Zhang Shi looked curious and said, "Yo, why did you meet again, this, this, but it hasn't been finalized yet." ”

Zhao Yunfan said with a smile: "Mother, it is precisely because there is no final decision, so I let my sister see me, aren't you worried so you asked to go to your sister, my sister is really very concerned, this time thanks to the arrangement of Lord Yong, my sister also gave the girl a pair of red agate bracelets." ”

Zhao Zongzhen couldn't help but interject: "Aren't you guys messing around, it's not good that other girls are still in the boudoir." ”

Zhang glanced at Zhao Zongzhen and continued: "You pay attention to the rules this time, you didn't hear that it was the prince's arrangement, then you can still be so ignorant of the rules, what are you worried about, son, you continue." ”

Zhao Zongzhen, who was given a blank look, had no choice but to touch his nose and stop talking.

Zhao Yunfan continued: "Dad, you are indeed worried about this matter, this matter is my son, I have not seen my sister for a long time and the prince, it happened that the prince of Anping took his sister to the restaurant of the fifth prince, this prince of Anping knew that the prince of Yong was also there, so he had to ask for peace, and the prince of Yong was happy and left the prince of Anping and his sister to have lunch together, and I, the elder brother, also accompanied by me, this qiē is just a chance encounter, there will be nothing." ”

When Zhang heard this, he said to Zhao Zongzhen: "Do you hear, Fan'er's rules are much better than yours, by the way, son, you have seen other people's girls, what do you mean in the end?" ”

Zhao Yunfan said with a smile: "Mother, this marriage event is naturally the words of the matchmaker at the behest of the parents, and the son listens to his father and you." ”

Zhang's family was a little embarrassed, but Zhao Zongzhen was rarely smart about human affairs and said: "Madam, our daughters have given red agate bracelets as a meeting gift, and my son doesn't mean that this is a success." ”

Zhang glanced at Zhao Zongzhen and said, "As far as you are smart, I don't want to hear my son's thoughts." ”

Zhao Yunfan smiled and said: "What father means is what son means." ”

Zhang breathed a sigh of relief and said: "Thank God, this matter can be regarded as settled, by the way, when will we talk back to others, and when will we go to discuss relatives?" ”

Zhao Zongzhen said: "Madam, you are also in a hurry, saying that the wind is rain, and I will go back to the barracks tomorrow, and it will not be too late for you to invite the official media to the Anping Marquis Mansion in a few days." ”

Zhao Yunfan also smiled and said: "Mother, this matter is not running, you are not in a hurry, if your father returns to the house first, it is not too late for you to be busy." ”

Zhang glanced at the father and son and said: "Can you not be in a hurry, if this is decided, you will have to prepare a bride price, come to the door to discuss relatives, and start working on an auspicious day, can I not be in a hurry." ”

Zhao Zongzhen took the opportunity to get close to his wife and comforted: "Yutong, don't worry, isn't there still me." As he spoke, he had the audacity to put his hand on Zhang's jade hand and patted it.

Zhang's heart was also a lot more settled at this time, so he knocked out Zhao Zongzhen's big palm and said: "You don't come to this set, your business is not over." ”

Zhao Yunfan saw that his mother was about to start educating his father again, so he said goodbye and prepared to leave, but before he got out of the door, he heard Zhang Shi say: "You can't say anything, don't go back to your study quickly, what are you still doing here." ”

Zhao Zongzhen couldn't fool him at all when he saw this posture, so he could only pinch his face and go out of the room, just when he ran into his son who hadn't left yet, General Zhao had no choice but to say: "I just hope that the girl of the Jian family can be gentle and virtuous, otherwise you kid will know what will happen if you offend a woman, especially a woman like your mother." ”

Zhao Yunfan smiled: "Dad, you can't blame your mother for being unreasonable, who made you drunk." ”

Zhao Zongzhen blew his beard and glared: "Isn't it just that you're drunk, what's the big deal, hum!" ”

Zhao Yunfan saw that his father was still stubborn and had to smile helplessly: "Dad, you better hurry back to the study and think about it, don't forget what happened last time, if your mother is really angry, it is estimated that even if your sister comes, she will not be able to help you, so my son will leave first, Dad, good night!" ”

Zhao Zongzhen saw that his son had also left, like a deflated ball, drooping his head and moving to the study step by step, fantasizing about his wife and waiting for his wife to change his mind as he walked, but he could only imagine that this deserted study was destined to stay for another night.

Over there, Zhao Zongzhen continued to sleep in the study, and here Qi You also fell asleep with Xibao, who had been tossed once...
