Chapter 63: The Beginning
"Ling'er, do you say that you can love someone regardless of gender?"
Qin Leling said: "Maybe." There are many things in this world that have been prescribed that have taken root in our hearts from the beginning, and once they are violated, they will be considered wrong and criticized by the world. In fact, they are just different, and they cannot be tolerated precisely because they are different. But those that have been prescribed, who knows if they are right. ”
After a long time, Qin Leling realized that some love is not just different, it is a taboo, and it is a gap that the world cannot cross. Even she had to be deterred.
Chu Jingye said: "I hope Jingxi can prove to me that he is right." ”
Oh? Chu Han showed his attitude to support King Mata, this kind of love is too fashionable here, and fashionable people can't accept it. He is very different from this younger brother, but whether he is right or not has to be decided by Zhang Jun in the end.
"You and King Mata have very different temperaments and personalities, and they are both princes, so it's rare to get along like ordinary people's brothers."
"yes." Chu Jingye seemed to sigh: "He, he is very different from me. ”
"What's the difference?"
Chu Jingye hugged her into his arms, as if he was going to tell a long story. Qin Leling found a comfortable position, a standard posture that would not get tired after listening to stories.
"Jingxi's mother is the princess of Hui, who came for peace and is a symbol of peace between the two countries. Therefore, Jingxi's mother concubine had a special status as soon as she entered the palace and was named Rou Ji. ”
Rou Ji, this title is different. Qin Leling nodded, that day, the senior brother said that the position of the harem concubine did not have the title of "Ji", and it seemed that it was specially given by the emperor.
Later, Rou Ji gave birth to Jingxi, and her father gave her the name 'Xi', which means that the two countries have a bright future and prosperity. Jingxi was deeply favored as soon as he was born, and at the age of three, he was given the word "mata" by his father, and everyone praised Jingxi as the most beautiful little prince of his father. ”
Jingxi is four months younger than him, but the treatment of the two is earth-shattering. If it weren't for the series of events that followed, their lives would never have had such a deep intersection.
Chu Jingye's words were flat, and he couldn't hear a trace of ups and downs. However, Qin Leling knew that deep down in his heart, he used to be envious, envious of the little prince who was loved by thousands of people.
"Rou Ji ...... Why haven't I seen this lady in the palace? ”
On the day when Concubine Shugui's condition was well, many concubines came to visit, Qin Leling recalled that there were no foreign mothers among those people, and the appearance of foreign people should be very different.
"She's dead." Chu Jingye said.
"Dead?"
"When I was nine years old, Hui and Dayue had discordant interests, and the two countries went to war. His father led a large army to destroy the Hui Hui, and Rou Ji committed suicide and died. Jingxi's status plummeted, and he changed from the most favored prince in the past to a foreign son from an enemy country, and he was treated like a ......"
"Just like you were when you were a kid?"
Chu Jingye was stunned for a moment, and smiled faintly: "It's not as good as me when I was a child." ”
"Heh," Qin Leling quipped, "It seems that you know how to be content." ”
Chu Jingye hugged the woman in his arms tightly and continued: "Jingxi has no one to protect him in the palace and is bullied, once I touched him, I helped him. Since then, we've been getting along slowly, just like now. ”
It's really feng shui in turn, and it is even more thoroughly reflected in the palace, and the honor and disgrace are just overnight. In the end, glory and wealth depend on others, it is easy to come and easy to lose.
Chu Jingye said lightly, it is indeed not so easy to help someone in the palace. Everyone has their own family power, which affects the overall situation.
At that time, the princes in the palace were growing up, and it was the age of naughty. Hui was destroyed, and Chu Jingxi, who lost his mother and concubine and had no protection, was the target of their bullying when they were bored.
The princes are all arrogant and domineering, no one dares to take care of the affairs of the palaces, and when Chu Jingye saw it, a bunch of princes surrounded Chu Jingxi in the middle and ridiculed and teased: "You look different from us, and so does your mother, you must be a demon!" ”
"That's it, it must be a monster, my mother said that the demon queen has appeared in her original form, let the heavens accept it, and you should quickly show her original form!"
"The original form, the original form......" The surrounding princes also coaxed together.
"I'm not a youkai!" Chu Jingxi didn't know where to get the strength, rushed over and knocked down Chu Jingcheng, who was closest to him with a face full of contempt and disgust, and bit his arm tightly, no matter how much the people next to him hit, his eyes were full of stubbornness.
It was that look that made Chu Jingye think of himself when he was a child, the Chu Han who had disappeared for a long time and no one remembered it anymore.
"Stop!"
Chu Jingye rushed into the crowd, he was the beloved son of Concubine Shu, and no one dared to attack him. It took a long time to pull away Jingxi, who had an angry face, and at that time Chu Jingcheng's arm was already bloody and fleshy.
The matter stabbed the emperor, Chu Jingye testified that they were bullied first, and Chu Jingxi was forced to be in a hurry and couldn't do anything about it. Only then did the emperor find out that the once beautiful prince he was proud of had fallen into such a field, which made people call him a demon, and he was immediately furious. The eunuchs and palace maids who were present to take care of the princes were all executed, and the princes were also punished one by one, and no one dared to provoke Chu Jingxi after that.
Chu Jingxi has only since gained the opportunity to grow up leisurely in the palace, unlike other princes, at the age of twelve, he asked the emperor for a palace and went out of the palace to live.
In fact, in that incident, Chu Jingcheng was not the leader who took the lead in bullying Chu Jingxi, but the other princes dragged him to see the "monster" together, but he became an inexplicable victim. Not only was a piece of meat almost lost on Chu Jingxi's arm, but he was also punished by his father.
It was then that the wheel of fortune began to turn, putting the three teenagers who had nothing to do with each other before at opposite ends, and the first qiē had just begun.
**
On the second day, Qin Leling and Zhang Jun conducted an on-site investigation all morning, but they failed to find any substantive problems.
Zhang Jun also found a senior river engineer, but only confirmed that there was really no problem with the materials used for the embankment. No one can say about the collapse of many dikes by the water, after all, no one knows how strong the impact of the flood really was.
The clue is broken here.
Shi Yuejiu looks like a dog on the surface, but in fact he is very cloudy, building a dam and building such a large piece of fat in front of him, I don't believe he is not moved, there must be something greasy in this. It's just that this cat is a little deep, and it takes some time to find out, and the most nervous thing for them now is time.
Zhang Jun saw that there was no progress, so he went back to check the account book, Qin Leling deeply despised him, this kid was not promising.
She didn't have much to do to find her senior brother, and in her impression, there was no problem that her senior brother couldn't solve.
At that time, Qin Muqing was reading a book, and she was not surprised to hear about the trouble she encountered, if Shi Yuejiu had been found out in just a few days, it would have been in vain for him to be an official for so many years.
Qin Muqing handed the book in his hand to his junior sister, Qin Leling looked at it, and drank, architecture. I knew that my senior brother had a wide range of interests, so why did he become interested in building houses and bridges.
Qin Muqing said: "Senior brother, I'm not interested, this is for you to see, I want to find a flaw in the embankment, how can I do it without knowing a little professional knowledge." ”
She can understand what the senior brother meant, but there are only a few days left to learn what it looks like, which is really a time-consuming and slow method. But, you can also give it a try.
