"Hey, are you still keeping it a secret in front of the prince's brother? Everyone knows that the father intends to marry a princess and Qin Duan, who has just made great achievements in the Northwest Military and Political Festival and the governor of North Loulan, isn't this a happy event? Zhao Yan had a smile on his face.

"I heard from outsiders, but I have already asked my mother, and my mother said that there is no such thing at all, it is all made up by those people outside, brother and sister, don't listen to those people's nonsense." The girl replied calmly, "Besides, even if there is such a thing, it should be the eldest sister, and I haven't even performed the coming-of-age ceremony yet." ”

"Apocryphal? Talk nonsense? Hmph, there is no wind and no waves, Qin Duxin has made great contributions, concurrently serves as the military and political chiefs of the two places, holds great power, and the elite army under his command reaches more than 100,000 people, can my father rest assured? Recruiting him as a concubine can kill two birds with one stone, not only to solve the worries, but also to get a good general, isn't this the best solution? The young man shrugged.

"Originally, it was the eldest sister, but the court and the middle government all knew that the eldest sister was extremely disgusted with that Qin Dui, and everyone knew that the eldest sister was married to her own with the consent of her father, she didn't want to, no one could help it, it wouldn't be possible to let the eighteenth sister marry Qin Dui, right?" When he said that the eighteenth sister, the young man's tone was full of disdain.

"There's nothing wrong with the eighteenth sister, she's only a month younger than me." Hearing the meaning of the young man's mouth, the girl continued to argue, "As long as it is the blood of her father, she is a princess, and it has nothing to do with her mother's identity." ”

"Hmph, **'s daughter is**, who knows if she's her father's seed?" The young man said harshly, but his voice was much lower.

"Brother Prince!" The girl's face suddenly darkened, as if covered with a layer of frost.

"If I'm wrong, I'll just talk too much and don't talk about it, okay?"

Seeing that the girl was really annoyed, the young man hurriedly admitted his mistake and apologized. "However, even if we don't think so, Qin Du and his subordinates may not think so, and my father should also take this into account, Seventeenth Sister, don't you say?"

See the youth apologies in soft words. The girl stopped talking, after all, it was her brother, but the young man's words were also right.

"Brother Prince, you came today specifically to inform my little sister of the news?" The girl raised her head and asked the young man with a straight face, but her eyes flashed with wisdom.

"Hehe, Brother Prince is going to the Three Treasures Hall for nothing, in fact, there is nothing to do, Brother Prince wants to hear what you think if His Majesty intends to let you marry that Qin Dui?" The young man rubbed his hands together in embarrassment. Smile and ask yourself this smart and beautiful sister.

Seeing that his brother asked about his marriage, Rao is girl was generous, and a touch of red light flashed across her face, "Brother Prince, why are you so concerned about this?" He asked, but he knew very well what his brother was thinking.

Scratching his head, the young man pretended to be concerned: "Of course the prince's brother has to care, we are the same father." Mother is a sister, I don't care who cares? ”

"Oh. It's true? That little sister would like to thank the prince's brother for his concern, but I haven't thought about it yet, and I don't know what kind of person Qin Du is, so I can't talk about it at all. The girl raised her hand and brushed her hair from her ears, and pushed the question away with a soft smile.

The young man didn't care, he knew that his sister was a well-known person who was careful. is quite assertive, so he bluntly explained his intentions: "Seventeenth sister, I won't tell you, Brother Prince, I am quite optimistic about this kid Qin Duan." This guy really has some skills, and in just a few years, he has gone from a small commoner to the most powerful person in the empire. Even many ministers of the DPRK and China have to act according to his eyes. Now his father is very important to him, if the seventeenth sister is matched with him, it is really a perfect match, and the father must be very satisfied. ”

After listening to her brother's Jianyi, the girl didn't show a tone on her face, but said lightly: "If it's as good as the prince's brother said, why is the eldest sister unwilling to marry him?" The younger sister heard that the eldest sister had repeatedly relieved her father of Qin Dui's position. ”

The young man was speechless for a while, and couldn't find a suitable response for a long time, so he replied after a long time: "The eldest sister is worried, she is subconsciously prejudiced against Qin Dui, I don't understand what she thinks in her heart, even if Qin Dui has any ideas, but once they get married, he will become a concubine, isn't it just right, is there anything wrong?" ”

"Brother Prince, the talent of the eldest sister is obvious to all among our dozen brothers and sisters, and it is difficult for you to convince you like this." The girl replied with a smile, neither denying nor approving, making it difficult to figure out what he really thought.

scolded the ghost girl in his heart, but the young man had to pretend to be smiling, "This can only be said that the perspective of personal things is different, but I believe that my seventeenth sister has a unique vision and will definitely have a correct view, and she will not follow the crowd." ”

The girl chuckled, didn't say anything, just picked up the teacup intentionally or unintentionally.

Seeing that the young man couldn't find out the other party's true intentions, he had no choice but to try hard to boast about that Qin Dui, and left the girl's boudoir with a smile.

As night gradually falls, the bustling imperial capital is about to enter a new night. For this metropolis of five million people, the difference between day and night is not obvious in many areas, and even more prosperous at night in some areas, such as the East End on the Forgotten Worry River.

During the day, you can only see the river section of the river with passengers and goods carrying ships coming and going, but the most prestigious incense boats are rare, at this time they are generally in some secluded river bays or directly into the small ponds formed by some private houses, just pull down the sluice gate at the intake, and there is no trace, so the famous incense boat owners generally choose to spend a lot of money to buy a house in the section of the Forget Worry River, and then dig an aqueduct to form a small harbor for mooring boats.

When the carriage that came to pick up Qin Duan stopped in front of Qin's mansion, it was already evening, and Qin Duan, who had already been ready for a long time, jumped into the carriage that had been inspected by his own guards with great interest, and quickly melted into the darkness under the protection of several guard soldiers and under the advice of Master Li.

Although I don't know what kind of banquet Qin Dui is going to, since it was chosen in the evening, Master Li still stayed in the mansion with interest, originally Qin Duan didn't want to bring the guards, but at the insistence of Song Tianxiong and Master Li, he had no choice but to compromise, and finally agreed to let the towering Tianxiong and the other three capable guards follow him, which made Qin Duan feel very uncomfortable, but helpless.

When Qin Dui's carriage stopped, the group had already arrived at a wharf on the bank of the Forgotten Worry River. Jumping out of the car, Qin Duan saw at a glance the host of the banquet standing on a huge ship, Liao Qichang, the head of Jiangnan County, and several other middle-aged people he didn't know.

The ship in front of him is probably the most magnificent ship that Qin Du has ever seen, the body is about 20 zhang long, about 7 zhang wide, in addition to the lower cabin, the large cabin built on the surface of the ship also has two floors, in a trapezoidal arrangement, the light is through, each layer can be vaguely seen to be divided into more than a dozen rooms, the figure flows, it looks like a moving giant house.

Just when Qin Duan was amazed, a middle-aged lady in a light Yaluo skirt had already accompanied Liao Qichang to the dock to greet him. (To be continued......)
