Coming out of the Penglai Palace, Su Die and Qin Shujiu were on the way back to the palace, and on the way, Su Die said: "Concubine Fang just waited for the words of Concubine Xian, it sounded like she was aimed at you. ”

Concubine Hou Xian's words sounded good, but the target in the words was also clear, in front of the harem concubines, she said that Qin Shujiu could often go to Yanying Hall to serve His Majesty, and also said that Qin Shujiu's grace was the best among the harem concubines. What kind of place is Yeonyingjeon? That is the place where His Majesty listens to the government, and outside the palace is the Zhongshu Province and the palace introspection, even the queen may not be able to enter and exit at will, Concubine Hou Xian actually said that Qin Shujiu can come and go from time to time, isn't this to the person who has a heart to hold a grudge? Although Qin Shujiu was busy skillful, I am afraid that Concubine Hou Xian's words would also be remembered.

Concubine Hou Xian accidentally liked this Qin Shujiu, and when she saw it like this today, it was also Sima's heart, and passers-by knew it. Even a straight person like Su Die understood it, not to mention Qin Shujiu, she thought she was clear in her heart, but it was different from Su Die's anxiety, even if she was clear, Qin Shujiu's face was very indifferent, but she didn't look anxious, but said with a smile.

"I'm afraid my sister is thinking too much, what can I do?" As soon as these words came out, Su Die immediately said urgently: "You are very clever on weekdays, and you usually see through everything when you mention me, but you don't see it clearly when it comes to yourself." Concubine Hou Xian's words today are absolutely not kind, you are afraid that you have to be careful. ”

It is also because of sincere concern that Su Die will worry about Qin Shujiu, this worry makes Qin Shujiu happy, and he smiled at the moment: "Sister's words and sparse wine should be remembered, and it will not make the virtuous concubine think more." After saying this, Su Die looked at her, smacked her lips and frowned slightly.

"I'm not asking you not to ask the virtuous concubine to think more, but to ask you to think more yourself, although I don't want there to be too many terrible things in this palace, but Xu always thinks it's better to be cautious."

It seems that Xu's matter has made Su Die see it slightly, although her mind is still much purer than that of ordinary people, and she has also grown. It is also Su Die's kindness, of course Qin Shujiu has to respond, and he will answer her words at the moment, and he will write it down.

It's good to be able to write it down, and I was sighing and about to say something, but I heard Qin Shujiu say that he remembered some things temporarily. Since Qin Shujiu had something to do, Su Die didn't say much, just asked her to go back to the palace quickly, so she went back to Zhong Sha Palace alone, and waited for Su Die to go far before Nan Zhi asked.

"Sister, where are we going now?"

"Go to Fengyang Pavilion."

After finishing speaking, he looked at Nanzhi and smiled, and then Qin Shujiu walked towards Fengyang Pavilion.

Fengyang Pavilion, that was the boudoir where the princess lived when she was not married, and now Liqing is in power, it stands to reason that this Fengyang Pavilion should be the dormitory of Princess Ningping and Princess Leping. It's just that the two princesses are still young and can't leave their biological mothers, and the eldest princess of Tongyang is still in the palace, and this Fengyang Pavilion is still the dormitory of the eldest princess of Tongyang.

went to Fengyang Pavilion and asked the palace people in the palace to report it, Qin Shujiu was worried that Tongyang would not see her at first, but he didn't expect Tongyang to announce her in. At this time, of course, there was an intention to come to her, and after getting Tongyang's life, the palace people led Qin Shujiu into Fengyang Pavilion.

If you see Tongyang when you see her, she is that luxurious appearance, today she is wearing a begonia red floor-length dress, with a light red shawl at her elbows, perhaps because the weather is getting hot, Princess Tongyang did not wear any gauze in this bed, but exposed her snow-like skin. After seeing Qin Shujiu and going to bed, Princess Tongyang said, "What kind of wind is this blowing my fair beauty?" It's really rare to come to my Fengyang Pavilion today. ”

The slightly yin and yang weird words are also because the two have never had a grudge, so it doesn't sound so harsh, and at that moment Qin Shujiu is smiling: "Shujiu also has nothing to do without going to the Three Treasures Palace, if there is nothing to do, naturally I don't dare to go to the eldest princess of Tongyang to disturb it." ”

Seeing Qin Shujiu say this, Tong Yang looked at her and then said, "Yo, this beautiful woman is being favored, what else needs to be disturbed by me, but let's hear it." ”

Qin Shujiu can often meet Shengyan, what is there to disturb in Fengyang Pavilion, this is what makes Tongyang feel strange. Seeing Tongyang ask like this, Qin Shujiu first smiled and nodded, then turned around and looked at Nanzhi behind him, signaling him to offer the food box in his hand. After seeing Qin Shujiu's signal, Nanzhi stepped forward, and then knelt down and put the food box in front of Tongyang, opened the food box and took out the contents inside, Qin Shujiu said.

"This snow beaver is a tribute this year, because I was serving next to Your Majesty when the Inner Servant Province was served, and Your Majesty rewarded this one by the way. Although the snow civet is an extremely difficult treasure to find, but I really dare not touch this body, thinking that the eldest princess should like it, so I sent it to the eldest princess, and I hope that the eldest princess will not dislike it. ”

Putting the snow civet on the desk, Qin Shujiu said lightly, and that Tongyang was speechless after seeing the snow civet, stretched out his hand and touched it gently, Tongyang's eyes seemed to be in a trance.

The fruit in that plate is snow-white in color, and the grains are like ice particles under the cold, and they are crystal clear, so that people are happy to see them. Tongyang obviously has a strange affection for this fruit, and when he saw this fruit, the whole person was quiet, no longer the eldest princess on weekdays, but inexplicably revealing a sentimentality. Touching it gently, every stroke is so light, as if a careless one may destroy the crystal in that plate. After touching it lightly for a long time, Tongyang said after a while.

"Brother Huang really loves you very much, this snow beaver only pays tribute to those in a year, and you have it here."

As soon as Tongyang's words fell, Qin Shujiu immediately replied: "The concubine is also an occasional blessing, and it happened that the Inner Servant Province offered tribute to the Yanying Palace, and His Majesty also rewarded these by the way." However, although this snow civet is rare, it is the first one of the princesses here every year, which shows that His Majesty's treatment of the eldest princess is different from others. ”

"Yes, no matter how much this snow civet pays tribute every year, the royal brother will never forget my share, even if the rest of the people don't have me. Whether it's him, or him, it's all remembered. The words that suddenly fell low made people's hearts sink a little when they heard it.

"Your Majesty and King Chong's hearts are most concerned about the eldest princess, and the eldest princess's preferences should also be remembered." After saying this, Tongyang took his eyes off the snow civet, looked at Qin Shujiu and said, "You are careful, you know one thing?" Qin Shujiu said with a smile: "It's not that I am careful, but that there is a famous deputy general next to King Chong who is an old friend of his father, and he often writes to and fro with each other, and the letter also often mentions that King Chong is doing it himself every year in order to find this snow fox for the eldest princess, and the soldiers are admired by the soldiers with love and righteousness." ”

Hearing that Qin Shangshu had an old friend, it was actually Chongwang's deputy general Tong Yangdang, even if he straightened up, he immediately said urgently: "You said that Qin Shangshu has an old friend under Chongwang's command?" Qin Shujiu replied: "Yes." Tongyang asked, "Who?" Qin Shujiu hurriedly replied, "It's General Shi." ”

After listening to it, Tongyang replied: "I heard the fifth brother mention this person, and he is also a fierce general, by the way, you just said that this General Shi often corresponds with Qin Shangshu, what is mentioned in this letter?" ”

It was inappropriate to ask about other people's private messages, but this Tongyang couldn't help but ask about King Chong, and Qin Shujiu also said: "What is mentioned in that letter, after all, it is inconvenient for me not to ask if it is a letter from my father and General Shi, but I know some things." ”

"What?" Busy asking, Qin Shujiu replied: "It's all about King Chong, saying that King Chong is very worried about the eldest princess in his heart, because His Majesty's order is not allowed to return to Kyoto is to be busy looking for the eldest princess's favorite snow beaver, I heard that the year before last when I was looking for a cliff accidentally stepped on an empty foot, but it hurt a little. At that time, the soldiers in the army were shocked, but fortunately, Chongwang's martial arts foundation was thick, so there was nothing to do. ”

I heard people say things that seemed to be just two or three sentences, but Tongyang was shocked when he heard it, King Chong was indeed injured the year before last, and she also asked by letter at that time but never knew the reason, but now she knows it from Qin Shujiu, and now she thinks that her heart is in pain, and she can't help asking: "How is the injury?" But it's so good. Qin Shujiu replied: "How can King Chong be an ordinary person, the injury must be healed, but ......"

The words at the beginning were still comforting, but the last sentence still made Tongyang's heart rise, and even said: "But what? This kind of question made Qin Shujiu think for a while, and then said: "Although the injury is not serious, but after all, this injury will also leave after-effects, and it will be difficult to think about it all year round." ”

The bitterness of the place, how could Tongyang not know the hardships suffered by King Chong, it was because he knew that he felt pain in his heart after listening to Qin Shujiu's words, but he couldn't help but say: "If the imperial brother can let the fifth brother return to Beijing, it would be great." ”

If it is, it is impossible, Tongyang also knows how slim his expectations are, seeing that Tongyang is already showing sadness, Qin Shujiu said: "Bayi is that remote and extremely cold place, and it may not be warm for a few days throughout the year, and the Chongwang garrison is indeed hard." This dignified Chongwang, how could His Majesty ask him to be stationed in such a bitter cold place? But it makes people feel unavoidable in their hearts. Hey, I don't know when His Majesty will be able to recall King Chong, so as not to stay in such a place all year round, if it is an ordinary person, forget it, King Chong has been seriously injured for the achievements of the country and the society, and the suffering of such a bitter cold place is probably a little better than ordinary people. ”

What kind of place is Ba Yi, who doesn't know it in his heart, King Chong asked Liqing to send a garrison there, and the reason is that Tongyang is also clear in his heart. That kind of thing was originally piled up in my heart, and it would have been fine if no one mentioned it, but now Qin Shujiu's words have poked at the pain in Tongyang's heart, and the eyes of the snow civet have changed from sentimentality to hatred.

"Why did the imperial brother ask the fifth brother to be stationed in Bayi, hum." A gentle hum, but it made this Fengyang Pavilion cold, and the eldest princess of Tongyang obviously remembered who she should thank at this time, as long as she remembered, then Qin Shujiu would not be in Fengyang Pavilion in vain today. At the moment, he lowered his head slightly and nodded slightly, Qin Shujiu then said: "Although this snow civet can be stored for a long time, it is extremely difficult to obtain after all, most of the snow civets who want to come to the palace to pay tribute to the palace are taken by the king of Chong, this king Chongwang took a lot of effort only for the preferences of the eldest princess, and the eldest princess should not let such a rare thing be spoiled because she can think of the king of Chongwang." ”

After some advice, Qin Shujiu raised his head to look at the sky outside, and then said: "I'm here to send a snow civet, but I didn't expect to talk for a long time, and there are still some things in the palace that don't bother the eldest princess, so I will retire first." After saying that, Qin Shujiu got up and left Fengyang Pavilion. The eldest princess of Tongyang is delicate, and it is naturally impossible to travel to send Qin Shujiu, that is, Qin Shujiu withdrew from Fengyang Pavilion by herself, but the eldest princess's negligence did not make Qin Shujiu take care of it, anyway, the eldest princess's temperament is used to this, and now in her heart, she remembers the past because of the snow beaver, and people are in a moment of resentment.

After leaving from the Fengyang Pavilion, Qin Shujiu was obviously in a good mood, and even had a little more smile in his eyes, and Nan Zhi, who was following behind him, naturally looked at it and said, "Sister, it seems to be very happy, but what good thing has it become?" ”

"This mood of joy should be a good thing, otherwise how happy it is." As he spoke, Qin Shujiu turned his face slightly and glanced at Nanzhi behind him with his afterglow, but Nanzhi, who was following behind him, said, "Forgive Nanzhi for being stupid, I really don't see anything good today." But I looked at my sister's atmosphere, and directly gave all the snow beavers rewarded by His Majesty to the eldest princess, the snow civets are rare things, and there are only those every year, and my sister is very atmospheric. Hearing this, it hurt those snow civets, so it made Qin Shujiu laugh, and immediately responded.

"I have something to take and give up, and I can get better benefits by using what is outside my body, and I still think I am earning."

"What's up? Sister, but what advantages are hidden? Hurriedly asked, but Qin Shujiu didn't answer, but looked at her and said with a smile: "Are you King Chong, why do you garrison the army in that strange place?" Shaking his head, Nanzhi replied, "I don't know." Qin Shujiu replied slightly: "It's not just that you don't know, I'm afraid that few people in this palace know." ”

Continuing to walk, he raised his head, and the smile on his face gradually dissipated, Qin Shujiu said: "King Chong is the fifth son of the first king, although he is also loved by the first king, but it will not make our majesty regard it as a nail in his eye, and he will definitely be sent to a bitter and cold place like Bayi to suffer. To be honest, this decision is not His Majesty's intention, and if you want to blame it, you will blame King Chong for his bad luck and misfortune. ”

"What did my sister say about this?" Qin Shujiu's words made Nan Zhi a little confused, and he couldn't help but ask, but this question made Qin Shujiu's face smile more, but this smile was a little cold.
