Chapter 93: Sword Mountain and Sea of Fire (3,000 words)

In the study, Qi Hao looked at the list in his hand and sneered: "Heh, there are really a lot of people in the court who have been co-opted by King Xuan!" ”

Du Jiang said in a low voice: "Gu Xiang has been active frequently in the past two days, and it seems that he is pulling the strings in the middle. ”

"Gu Xiang......" Qi Hao listened, and a cold light flashed in his deep eyes.

I have to say that every time Gu Huai, Gu Chengen, and the Gu family are mentioned, he will unconsciously associate these people with Gu Jinli.

There is no way, even if Gu Jinli is now a member of Ning Wangfu, she can never change her identity as a member of the Gu family.

His thin lips pursed slightly, and he said in a deep voice: "Gu Chengen has had any movement recently?" ”

Du Jiang shook his head, "Gu Shilang has been busy improving weapons recently, so it's quite safe for the time being. ”

Qi Hao thought for a while, and then asked, "What about Gu Jin...... What about Miss Gu Er? Can it still be noisy? ”

Knowing what Qi Hao wanted to ask, Du Jiang said: "According to the secret guard, Gu Xiang once wanted to marry Miss Gu Er to the Qing King, but Miss Gu Er seemed to have made a private agreement with King Xuan for life, so Gu Xiang was very angry, so he slapped Miss Gu Er in anger. ”

"Because of this, Second Miss Gu will come to the palace to settle accounts with Concubine Gu that day."

"Heh, it's a private decision for life?" Qi Hao listened, and the corner of his lips smiled sarcastically: "Gu Huai and Mrs. Gu have been carefully cultivating and teaching the 'first talented girl' for so many years, but I didn't expect it to be so shameless!" ”

Du Jiang also agreed, not only did he not respect himself, but he was also ruthless, causing Yin Suwan to break her leg and not say anything, and she also took Gu Jinli's mother's relics to blackmail others to marry on her behalf, this kind of woman is really quite vicious!

Unable to understand a little, he asked, "But, why did Gu Xiang marry Miss Gu Er to King Qing?" ”

Qi Hao said quietly: "Gu Jinxiu married into King Ning's Mansion because she was forced to do so, and Gu Huai married Miss Gu Er to the King of Qing, probably thinking that if King Xuan does not succeed in the future, and there is such a son-in-law as King Qing to rely on, it will not end up too miserable." ”

After hearing this, Du Jiang sighed with emotion: "Gu Xiang's wishful thinking is really shrewd!" ”

is not only the king of the Qing Dynasty, in fact, in terms of name, among several princes and princes, Qi Hao, who is most likely to ascend to the throne of the emperor, is also Gu Huai's son-in-law.

However, Gu Huai chose the wrong position, desperately supported King Xuan, and privately gave advice to King Xuan to win people's hearts, and he didn't know which point of King Xuan was worthy of his spare effort and hard work......

"By the way, Concubine Li has been sleeping very frequently these days, and she should have blown a lot of wind in the emperor's ears, and the emperor has already asked Concubine Li to allow King Qing to return to Beijing in advance." Suddenly thinking of something, Du Jiang added: "Also, the secret guard sent to Nanyang said that the king of Nanyang has been sick for nearly half a year, and he should not know what the prince has done. ”

"Concubine Li is not very smart, so she only has the ability to please men in bed!" Qi Hao frowned in disgust, and said disdainfully: "Those letters that she and the Qing King passed privately behind their backs were sent to the Queen Mother. ”

"Keep an eye on Chen Zexuan, and report the situation in time!"

Du Jiang nodded, and asked again, "What about King Xuan's side?" Is it because of him that he is holding people's hearts? ”

"Yes, the human heart is the most unreliable thing. If he can win over the past today, how do you know that this king will not be able to win back tomorrow? Furthermore, what use does the king want of those who can buy their hearts? Qi Hao's cold voice revealed an invisible deterrent force, which made people feel shocked after hearing it.

Du Jiang thought of those two-faced ministers, and said fiercely: "What the prince said is that those wall grasses are not worth our trouble for them!" ”

Qi Hao said slowly: "How is Yin Penglin's injury?" ”

Originally, he wanted to wait for Yin Suwan's leg to heal, and then see if he could say that Lin Sheng could be moved to prescribe a few medicines for Yin Penglin to regulate his body, after all, he had a gap with Mrs. Yin because of this incident before, but now looking at Lin Sheng's temperament, let's wait and talk about it slowly.

Du Jiang said: "Second Prince Yin doesn't seem to be able to get out of bed yet. ”

Qi Hao took a sip of tea, and said with a puzzled expression: "It's okay if you can't get out of bed, so as not to make Taifu Yin sad again." ”

"Lord Wang, the Eighth Prince is here." At this time, Qin Feng suddenly came in and said.

"Hachi is here?" As soon as he put the teacup down, Qi Hao looked at the door, only to see that Xiao Ba was really following behind Qin Feng.

"Fourth brother!"

The young man was dressed in a snow-blue robe, and the smile on his face was like a fresh breeze in summer, blowing people's hearts comfortably.

The corners of Qi Hao's lips curled unconsciously, "Don't forget, block that incident from good news, and don't leak the news." ”

Du Jiang knew that Qi Hao was talking about Gu Jinli's marriage, so he answered and immediately left the room.

"Why are you here? Does the queen know that you are out of the palace? After instructing Qin Feng to send someone to serve tea, Qi Hao asked in a deep voice.

The eighth prince blinked his eyes and said with a smile: "Fourth brother, don't worry, last year the gentleman took my endorsement, and I memorized all of them, and the queen mother was very satisfied, so she deliberately gave me a day off." ”

"Oh?" Qi Hao listened and raised his eyebrows: "It's rare for the queen to be so considerate of you." ”

If it was in the past, according to the queen mother's strictness to the eighth prince, she would not even let the eighth prince rest for an hour, and she wished that he would not eat or sleep all day long and devote himself to his studies.

But because of the precedent of the failure of the Seven Princes, the Empress will occasionally be a little more tolerant of the Eighth Prince.

It's just that the queen should be most disliked is that the eighth prince is close to herself, so why is he allowed to come to Ning Wangfu today?

The Eighth Prince's eyes rolled and he smiled: "Fourth brother, I heard that on the day of the Midyear Festival, there was a party in Changyin Garden, can you take me there?" ”

Qi Hao's mind was all about big things, where would he distract himself from the "sorority" held by Hua Qiong and Chenyang Poetry Society, so he asked, "Huh? What party? ”

The eighth prince said: "It's that the second son of the Gu family wants to hold a poetry club recruitment activity, and it just so happens that Sister Huaqiong is also going to hold a Fanghua meeting, so she merged the two activities together and made it into a 'friendship party', and the location was chosen in Changyin Garden." ”

"When did Gu Nianshi get along with Hua Qiong?" Qi Hao's eyes dimmed, and he said with interest: "If this king is not mistaken, the two of them don't seem to have much in common." ”

Gu Nianshi is a member of the Gu family, and the Gu family has always supported King Xuan, and Hua Qiong is the sister of King Qing, so it stands to reason that the Gu family will not take the initiative to provoke Hua Qiong......

Sure enough, then I saw the eighth prince look around, and then his eyes shone with the unique light of gossip, and he said mysteriously: "Fourth brother, I will only tell you one person, you can't tell others!" ”

Looking at the childlike appearance of the Eighth Prince, Qi Hao's heart was soft, and he couldn't help but nod and said, "Okay." ”

"Hehe, I once accidentally heard the two palace maids next to Sister Hua Qiong say that Sister Hua Qiong held an event with the Poetry Society because she liked Yin Dagongzi. It's just that Concubine Li doesn't seem to agree to marry Sister Huaqiong to Prince Yin. ”

The smile between Qi Hao's lips grew, and the dark color at the bottom of his eyes became heavier.

Yin Zike is indeed a rare talent among the many noble children in Beijing.

However, it is impossible for him to be with Hua Qiong.

First, Hua Qiong is not worthy of him at all, and he is definitely not the type that Yin Zike likes.

Second, the Yin family is on their side, if Hua Qiong marries Yin Zike, if there is really a day when soldiers meet in the future, Hua Qiong will be in a worrying situation......

Therefore, there is nothing wrong with Concubine Li doing this.

On the contrary, if she is willing to marry Hua Qiong into the Yin family, this will be a problem.

Either he sincerely hopes that Hua Qiong can be happy, or he wants to use Hua Qiong's marriage with Yin Zike to destroy his relationship with the Yin family......

However, in Concubine Li's heart, the status of King Qing's son is far higher than Hua Qiong.

Although she is also extremely doting on Hua Qiong, you must know that since ancient times, whether it is the royal family or the common people, it is the mother and the son who are expensive.

And daughters, after all, have to get married.

When you get married, you become an outsider......

Therefore, compared with the Qing King's grand plan to seize the throne, what is Hua Qiong's happiness?

Of course, Concubine Li's mind didn't dare to let Hua Qiong know, otherwise Hua Qiong wouldn't have to cry and grab the ground?

Seeing that Qi Hao only smiled and said nothing, the eighth prince said again: "I wanted to go and see it that day, but the queen mother would definitely not agree." ”

After a pause, he said embarrassedly: "The fourth brother has the most weight to speak in front of his father, so I want you to tell my father and let me take a day off." ”

"As long as the father speaks, the queen mother will not say anything."

The queen has always been reluctant for the eighth prince to get too close to Qi Hao, if Qi Hao goes directly to the queen, the result is that you don't need to think about it to know that the queen will not let the eighth prince go to Changyin Garden, but will also be even more dissatisfied with Qi Hao.

And Qi Hao went to find the emperor, and the emperor came forward, so the queen could only give the eighth prince a day off for the emperor's sake.

When his own strength is not enough, he knows how to use foreign aid and adopt roundabout tactics to achieve his goals, such a little eight makes Qi Hao have to look at it again.

The softness in the heart also cooled little by little, turning into heaviness and complexity.

Looking at the Eighth Prince for a moment, he seemed to smile and said, "Little Eight, you are so smart, how can you grow up?" ”

The eighth prince naturally didn't know what Qi Hao was thinking at this time, his face flushed, and he whispered: "Fourth brother, the queen mother is getting more and more intensified now, just let me endorse during the day, and even let Xiao Xiangzi guard me every step at night, if I memorize a wrong word, then I have to be punished for writing ten times." ”

"You also know that Xiao Xiangzi is a person, he only obeys the orders of his mother, and he doesn't dare to slack off at all, and he stares me to death."

Afraid that Qi Hao would not believe it, the eighth prince rolled up his sleeves again, pointed to a red mark on his arm, and complained in a complaining tone: "Look, this is a few days ago when I accidentally fell asleep with a book, Xiao Xiangzi beat it with a rattan according to the instructions of the queen mother." ”

Qi Hao's eyes fell on the white arm of the eighth prince, and he saw that there was a red mark on it that had not subsided.

It's been so long, and it can be seen how heavy Xiao Xiangzi hit that time.

Taking a deep breath, he couldn't bear to say after all: "It's okay, the combination of work and rest can get twice the result with half the effort." When this king enters the palace tomorrow, he will mention it to his father by the way. ”

When the eighth prince saw that Qi Hao agreed, he immediately said happily: "Thank you, fourth brother!" ”

"Ah, yes!" took out a delicate purple jade snuff box from his arms, and handed it to Qi Hao as if offering a treasure: "Fourth brother, this is for you." ”

Qi Hao took it, and while playing with the finely textured snuff bottle, he said lightly: "This thing doesn't look like it's in the palace, where did you get it?" ”

"Hehe, this is given to me by Brother Xuan, I look very good, so I borrowed flowers and offered Buddha to the fourth brother." Secretly looking at Qi Hao's expression, the blush that the Eighth Prince had just faded on his face was dyed a slight red again.

Qi Hao swept away the darkness in his eyes, and handed the snuffbox to the Eighth Prince again, "There is nothing missing in the Fourth Brother's Mansion, since it was given to you by Xuan Shizi, you can keep it." ”

The Eighth Prince couldn't tell if Qi Hao was unhappy because he transferred the things sent by Chen Zexuan to him, so he said slightly uneasy: "Hmm...... All right. ”

"Eighth Prince, you drink tea." At the same time as the subordinates put down the tea tray, they also placed two plates of pastries in front of the eighth prince.

The eighth prince put a piece in his mouth, and said vaguely: "Fourth brother, the phoenix crisp here is still delicious." ”

Qi Hao smiled, and after the eighth prince swallowed the whole pastry again, he asked: "This king has been too busy recently, and he has no time to visit the Queen Mother in Shoukang Palace, how are she old people these days?" ”

The Eighth Prince wiped his mouth and nodded: "Well, Fourth Brother don't worry, Brother Xuan will definitely report to Shoukang Palace every day." With him, the Queen Mother couldn't close her mouth with a smile every day. ”

Qi Hao clenched the teacup and said meaningfully: "Hehe, Xuan Shizi has a heart." ”

"Brother Xuan not only gave me and Brother Qi gifts, but even Sister Huaqiong and Sister Xiyue, as well as the ladies in the palace, also had a share." The Eighth Prince took a few sips of tea and said seriously: "Everyone's gifts are different, for example, Brother Seven's is Bihong Sword, Sister Hua Qiong's is Linglong Mirror, and Sister Xiyue's is Peach Blossom Resin...... Brother Xuan is indeed very caring! ”

Qi Hao heard the Eighth Prince mention Xiyue, and suddenly remembered that at the last palace banquet, Concubine Li wanted to marry Hua Qiong to Chen Zexuan at first, but the queen followed closely behind, saying that Xiyue was more compatible with Chen Zexuan in terms of age, and Xiyue's reaction seemed to be very fond of Chen Zexuan.

Let's not talk about Chen Zexuan's appearance and talent, just look at the Nanyang Mansion behind him, which is a piece of fat that everyone is fighting for.

The status and strength of the Nanyang Royal Mansion in the Qi Kingdom are far better than the 300,000 army, so those who win the Nanyang Royal Mansion mean that they have gained half of the world.

It's just that now this Nanyang seems to be about to establish himself as the king......

Even if the king of Nanyang does not have this idea, Chen Zexuan, the son of the king of Nanyang, is eyeing and ambitious......

According to his scheming, it is estimated that he will not choose Xiyue, let alone Hua Qiong.

Xiyue has nothing else to do with anything other than being too introverted, but Chen Zexuan is wooing Xuan Wanggui, and the arrogance in his bones will not let him use his marriage as a springboard for usurping the throne at will.

Of course, there are no absolutes, but we haven't reached that point yet......

His eyes moved slightly, Qi Hao looked at the Eighth Prince who was staring at him with big eyes, and said with a smile: "If you like the phoenix cake in the house, bring some back when you leave later." ”

When the eighth prince heard this, he nodded happily.

At the same time, in the Nanyang Palace, Chen Zexuan glanced at the gifts piled up on the table, and asked knowingly: "The Seventh Prince is here, what are you doing with so many gifts?" ”

The Seventh Prince looked at Chen Zexuan's unsalty appearance, and said patiently: "What Xuan Shizi said to this prince last time, this prince benefited a lot, so he specially prepared some thin lily to thank Xuan Shizi." ”

"Oh?" Chen Zexuan said in a lazy tone while playing with the fan: "This prince said too many things last time, I don't know which sentence the Seventh Prince is referring to?" ”

The Seventh Prince's throat rolled a few times, and finally he couldn't help but say: "Xuan Shizi, Ming people don't say secret words, how can you return the token of Mingyang Palace to this prince?" ”

Last time, when Chen Zexuan went to Mingyang Palace to visit the Seven Princes with gifts, he pretended to undoubtedly mention that he had picked up a bloodstained token in a certain alley, and coincidentally, the side concubine "Gu Jinxiu" of the Ning Palace's Mansion was also assassinated on the street.

The assassination took place in the alley where the token was found.

Although Chen Zexuan only clicked and stopped, the Seventh Prince knew that with Chen Zexuan's methods, he had definitely found out the reason for his assassination of "Gu Jinxiu", so after that day, he was restless and thought for a long time before deciding to come to Nanyang Wangfu in person to test what Chen Zexuan was up to.

"Ahh It turns out that the token belongs to the Seven Princes? Chen Zexuan deliberately hung the Seventh Prince, making a surprised look, "Tut, the Seventh Prince, you have no grievances with Concubine Gu, why did you send someone to kill her?" ”

"Could it be that you have any ulterior secrets between you?"

The Seventh Prince was uncontrollable, clenched his fists and said angrily: "Xuan Shizi, if you have any requirements, you can mention it, as long as this prince can do it, go to the soup and fight the fire, and you will not hesitate!" ”

That being said, if he really let the Seven Princes go to the Sword Mountain and go to the sea of fire, he will definitely not send him to death.

Chen Zexuan unfolded the fan suddenly, caressed the red plums on the fan with his fingers, and said unhurriedly: "What if this son wants you to kill your father and usurp the throne?" Will you do it? ”

"What?!" When the Seventh Prince heard this, his body trembled violently, and he looked at Chen Zexuan in disbelief, "Xuan Shizi, do you know what you are talking about?" ”

Chen Zexuan nodded, his narrow eyes flashing with a scorching light, "This son is not drunk, and he is not awake, how can he not know what he is talking about?" ”

"Xuan...... Xuan Shizi don't be joking. The Seventh Prince was frightened by Chen Zexuan's words just now, licked his slightly white lips, and he trembled his hands and picked up the teacup to hide his panic.

"Seventh Prince, you also said just now that Ming people don't say dark words, so let's open the skylight and say bright things." Chen Zexuan's thin lips were hooked, and he said word by word: "Don't say a word of superfluous nonsense, you just tell this king, do you want that seat?" ”

"Bang!"

Because of this sentence, the teacup in the hand of the seventh prince instantly fell to the ground and turned into a piece of broken porcelain.

"Xuan Shizi......" The Seven Princes seemed to have seen a ghost, and their eyes were full of horror.

Chen Zexuan stood up, paced to the side of the Seven Princes, and said slowly: "The Seventh Prince, a person lives for a lifetime, and it will never be possible to be pure-hearted and have few desires, no desires and no desires. ”

"We are just mortals, not immortals, so we are destined to fight for something and do whatever it takes."

"Especially in the royal family, in the face of that great temptation, who dares to say that they are not moved?"

"Now that the emperor is over half a hundred years old, among the princes and princes under his knees, except for the eighth prince, only you are an adult prince who has not yet been crowned king."

"People want faces, trees want bark, I don't know what the Seven Princes have thought over the years, but if this is changed to this son, he must be so embarrassed that he doesn't even dare to go out!"

The Seventh Prince looked embarrassed, and only after a while did he say in a sullen voice: "Qi Hao has the support of the Queen Mother, and King Qing and King Xuan also have their own concubines, what does this prince have?" ”

Chen Zexuan sneered, shook his head and said, "Seventh Prince, it doesn't matter if you didn't have the support of your mother when you were young, and it's not a reason why you can't achieve anything now!" On the contrary, you grew up next to the queen, and having the queen and the Fang family to support you is even more powerful! However, why are you now reduced to the point where the emperor doesn't value you, and even the queen gives you up? ”

"Originally, you could also call the wind and rain like Qi Hao, and be high, but a good card was ruined by yourself! You don't want to forge ahead, you are confused, you give up on yourself, no wonder others! ”

I don't know if he was poked in the heart or hurt his self-esteem, but when the Seventh Prince heard this, his face turned a little pale.

Chen Zexuan's hand was on the shoulder of the Seventh Prince, and his voice was a little lower, not as sharp as just now, "Seventh Prince, no one wants to live in a nest for the rest of their lives. ”

"If you don't want to be looked down upon any longer, you'll have to fight back!"

The Seventh Prince raised his eyes and looked at Chen Zexuan in a daze: "I'm ...... I'm already like this, how else can I fight back? ”

"Tell this son, do you want the throne?" Pointing to the chest of the Seventh Prince, Chen Zexuan's eyes surged with a strange light, "Do you want to?" ”

The Seventh Prince struggled for a moment, gritted his teeth and said, "Think!" ”

Chen Zexuan withdrew his hand and smiled faintly: "It's easy to do if you want to!" ”

After all, the Seventh Prince has lived in the palace for so many years, and he is not a fool, he doesn't believe that Chen Zexuan will help him for no reason.

Looking straight at Chen Zexuan, he asked, "Xuan Shizi helps me, what are the conditions?" ”

Shaking the hand of the fan, Chen Zexuan immediately asked: "Then according to the Seven Princes, why does this prince want to help you win the throne?" ”

The Seventh Prince was silent, staring at Chen Zexuan's eyes with more and more suspicion, "This prince doesn't know. ”

With a flash of brain, he said solemnly: "Everyone wants to sit in the world, and maybe the prince wants to use this prince as a chess piece to confront Qi Hao, so that he can sit in that position in the future!" ”

With a soft sigh of helplessness, Chen Zexuan unfolded the fan in front of the Seven Princes, and asked, "What do the Seven Princes think of the fan of this world?" ”

The Seventh Prince didn't know what Chen Zexuan meant, so he glanced at it symbolically and said absentmindedly: "Not bad." ”

"This fan is like a beloved in my heart, if someone wants to snatch it, then the son of the world will chase it back even if it is chased to the ends of the earth." Chen Zexuan put the fan away and said with a serious expression: "If this son of the world says that Qi Hao robbed of this son's things, do you believe it?" ”

"Huh?" The Seventh Prince frowned and asked unconsciously, "What is worth the prince's great effort?" ”

Chen Zexuan lowered his eyes, his thin lips opened lightly, and he gently spit out two words, "Woman." ”

After hearing this, the Seventh Prince laughed as if he had heard a joke, and said, "A mere woman can make you do such a rebellious thing? Xuan Shizi, don't fool this prince! ”

"Why did this prince fool the Seventh Prince?" Chen Zexuan raised his hand and poured a cup of hot tea, blew it, and continued: "If it is really as the Seven Princes said, this son is for that son, then it is completely possible to use King Xuan, who is stronger in strength and status, and there is still King Qing who is far away at the border. ”

"And the Seventh Prince, you have nothing, what place can you use for this prince?"

The Seventh Prince felt that what Chen Zexuan said also made some sense, but he still asked: "Then even if you want to compete with Qi Hao for the sake of women, there is no reason to choose the weakest prince, right?" How to say that this prince does not have any hole cards in his hand. ”

Taking a sip of tea, Chen Zexuan said in a deep voice: "Does the Seventh Prince still remember Concubine Shu?" ”

The Seventh Prince's face froze, and his eyes lowered.

Concubine Shu is his mother, how can he not remember?

Many years ago, Concubine Shu was sent to the cold palace, and he pleaded with the old emperor, but the old emperor angrily punished him for kneeling in the snow for a day.

Later, he begged the queen to speak for Concubine Shu, but the queen only said a few words in front of the old emperor without pain, and finally it was gone.

At first, he would feel sorry for Concubine Shu, but as he grew up, he was used to seeing the warmth and intrigue in the palace, so he forced himself not to think about the concubine in the cold palace anymore, and controlled his feet that wanted to go to the cold palace.

Because, the royal family is the most ruthless, he knows that he already has a mother concubine who is rejected by the old emperor, if he is entangled with his mother concubine again, then his life in the palace will be even more difficult......

Therefore, he always told himself that he was the queen's child, and Concubine Shu was just a sinner......

As time passed, the woman in the cold palace would only be remembered when she was coldly reprimanded, ridiculed, punished and scolded by the queen.

It's just that he became more and more cowardly and incompetent under the queen's strict teaching, so much so that he broke the jar and became an outcast of the queen......

Chen Zexuan took in the sadness on the faces of the Seven Princes, and said in a deep voice: "The Seventh Prince doesn't know, this prince received the favor of Concubine Shu when he was a child, although it is only a trivial matter, but it should be repaid for this prince. It's just that Concubine Shu is a harem concubine after all, and this son can't help her personally, but she really wants to do something for her. ”

Sometimes, lies are necessary.

Whether it's benign or malicious, as long as it's useful.

Chen Zexuan is four years older than the Seventh Prince, so the "childhood" he said must be something that did not exist before the age of four.

Even if the Seven Princes don't believe it, Chen Zexuan is playing the emotional card, so from the point of view of reason, it sounds more credible.

"Mother concubine......" The seventh prince looked moved when he heard it.

Giving the Seventh Prince a positive look, Chen Zexuan continued to dismantle the defense in his heart: "Of course, with the ability of this prince, I dare not guarantee that I can help the Seventh Prince win the throne, but it can also allow you to regain the emperor's attention and no longer be in the embarrassing situation you are in now." ”

The water cannot be filled up, nor can the words be said to die.

If Chen Zexuan directly promised to be full, he couldn't help but give people a feeling of saying big things.

And if you leave a little leeway, it immediately feels different.

At this time, under Chen Zexuan's scorching gaze, the Seven Princes were burning with a fire in their hearts.

Slamming the table, he said, "Okay! This prince believes in Xuan Shizi! ”

After a pause, he asked tentatively: "Then what should the prince do?" ”

Took a teacup for the Seventh Prince again, poured tea, Chen Zexuan smiled: "Don't worry, this prince will tell you how to do it." ”

The Seventh Prince nodded, thinking about what Chen Zexuan had just said, and couldn't help but gossip in his heart.

Everyone in the country knows that "Gu Jinxiu" was forced to marry Qi Hao because he hurt Yin Suwan, but listening to Chen Zexuan's meaning, it seems that "Gu Jinxiu" was originally his person, but he was "robbed" by Qi Hao?

Could it be that that woman originally had a leg with Chen Zexuan?

However, Chen Zexuan has been in Nanyang all these years, how did he secretly communicate with "Gu Jinxiu"?

However, the woman who was snatched away is also very likely to be Yin Suwan.

After all, Yin Suwan is the treasure in Qi Hao's heart.

Anyway, it won't be the two concubines in the house who can't be too faceless.

No matter who it was, when he thought that the woman Qi Hao married was very likely to be a second-hand product that had already been developed, and he had a piece of green grass on his head, the Seventh Prince was in a good mood and said, "Thank you Xuan Shizi first." ”

Chen Zexuan raised the teacup and touched the teacup of the Seven Princes lightly, and the two looked at each other and smiled.

After the eighth prince left King Ning's mansion, because this was a bright and bright day's vacation, he took a few guards in disguise to wander around the street.

All kinds of small traders and vendors are hawking on the streets, including dough kneaders, sugar gourds, bamboo dragonflies woven from grass, and colorful masks......

In short, these things, which are ordinary in the eyes of the common people, are very novel in the eyes of the Eighth Prince.

Seeing that the Eighth Prince was about to walk to the stall selling masks on the side, the guard behind him hurriedly grabbed his arm and said in a low voice: "Little Master, the family said that you are not allowed to go back with messy things. ”

People in this family, don't think about it, they also refer to the queen.

The light that had just ignited in the eyes of the Eighth Prince was immediately extinguished after hearing these words.

Reluctantly, he glanced at the mask a few more times, and he didn't give up and said, "I'll only buy one, and you won't tell your mother...... Mother, don't you just do it? ”

Even after living in the bloody court for so many years, he still retains the characteristics of a child.

Otherwise, Qi Hao would never have been merciful and kept him until now.

Seeing the guard shaking his head, the Eighth Prince sighed heavily, and continued to walk forward with a bitter face.

"Uncle, okay!" At this time, suddenly a little beggar came up with a broken bowl.

"Get out!"

The begging man had a big belly, and judging from his dress, he must have had a few small bucks, but he kicked the little beggar in the chest.

Just when the eighth prince wanted to beckon the guards to come forward to stop him, he saw that the little beggar had cleverly avoided it, and then his body went around in a circle, around the back of the fat man, and continued to say unrelentingly: "Uncle, the little one hasn't eaten for several days, please reward a copper plate!" ”

As the Eighth Prince approached, he could hear that the little beggar's voice was not like the whispering and humble pleading of an ordinary beggar man, but it was crisp and like a scoundrel, as if if this man would not give money, he would continue to entangle.

When the fat man saw that the little beggar was about to stick in front of him, he became angry and scolded: "Little Hanako, you want money from grandpa?" Eat the bear's heart and leopard gall! ”

With that, he was about to punch the little beggar in the temple.

The little beggar reacted extremely quickly, and at the moment when the fat man just punched, he quickly squatted down, and then made an unexpected move.

Immediately afterwards, the fat man clutched his crotch in pain and let out a scream like killing a pig.

"If you don't give it, you won't give it, why beat people!" Before the man's fat paws could swing again, the little beggar blew in front of him like the wind.

"Little ...... Little Evil Beast, You ...... You wait for Uncle Ben! ”

Pointing to the back of the little beggar, I don't know if it was angry or the thing under him hurt, the fat man's face was flushed.

"Hahaha, master, I'll wait!"

Raising the money bag in his hand, the little beggar turned around and made a grimace at the fat man, and disappeared proudly.

Touching his waist, the fat man chased forward and scolded: "! ”

However, the pain in that area made him run a few steps and stop.

Kicking the broken bowl left by the little beggar on the ground away, the fat man gritted his teeth and said, "Next time I let me touch you again, I will definitely skin you!" ”

Seeing the fat man's angry face, the Eighth Prince couldn't help but raise his lips.

The little beggar was not tall, but he was very clever.

"Do you know where he just ran?" Beckoning to the guards, the Eighth Prince was very interested.

None of the guards in the palace were watching and listening, so they nodded and said, "I know." ”

Pointing in the direction where the little beggar disappeared, the Eighth Prince smiled and said, "Go, take me to take a look!" ”

Although the guards were puzzled, they still took the Eighth Prince to a winding alley.

Sure enough, at the end of the alley, the Eighth Prince found the little beggar.

However, in addition to him, there are other beggars of different ages.

Among them were the older ones in their fifties and sixties, and the younger ones were two or three years old, and men and women gathered in the middle of the little beggars, and a group of people gathered together, cheering from time to time, not knowing what they were doing.

"Come, Uncle Chen, these two pieces of silver are yours."

"Uncle Yang, you have a bad leg, this is yours."

"Little beans, come, take them and buy candy to eat!"

……

As if the palace was distributing New Year's goods during the New Year, the thin figure of the little beggar was blocked by everyone, and only his cheerful voice could be heard.

After the heavy bag of silver was distributed, I heard everyone's sincere thanks.

"Thank you for being happy!"

"Happy sister, thank you!"

When the eighth prince heard the word "sister", he was stunned at first, and then immediately met the inadvertent gaze of the little beggar.

Her little face was covered with mud, and she couldn't see her appearance at all, and she was wearing a man's shabby clothes, except for the flashing spirit in her big black and white eyes, she really couldn't tell that it was a man.

Looking at this size, it is estimated that he is only seven or eight years old......

The little beggar's expression changed, and then he returned to his senses, and waved his hand to everyone: "Everyone go back quickly, and we will see you here again tomorrow!" ”

When they heard this, they all dispersed.

It's just that when they passed by the Eighth Prince and a few guards, they all trembled and feared, for fear of how these people would be.

The little beggar protects everyone in the back like a hero, whistling and looking indifferent.

For some reason, the eighth prince was infected by her leisurely appearance, and couldn't help asking, "Are you happy?" ”

The little beggar didn't expect the Eighth Prince to speak, and after a pause, he showed his snow-white teeth and smiled brightly: "That's right! Happy to be poor! ”

Sticking out her tongue at the Eighth Prince, she ran away humming an unknown tune.

"Poor and happy?" The Eighth Prince repeated it a few times and laughed.
