Zhu Qijue is frighteningly keen.

He Qi was secretly shocked in his heart, and there was just the right amount of surprise on his face: "What nonsense are you talking about." We grew up together and were together almost every day. What can I hide from you? ”

Zhu Qijue's eyes searched carefully for a moment, but he didn't find anything unusual. I couldn't help but sigh: "I can't say it well." It's a gut feeling! ”

"Actually, I've always had a vague feeling that you're different from before. From the day of last spring, Jiang Liu fell off the horse, and you fainted, and then you were rescued by Cheng Jinrong The day you woke up. Since then, I've felt like you're different. ”

"Of course you're still you, and your words and deeds haven't changed much. But occasionally, you will show a cold and unfamiliar look, or show a cold murderous aura. ”

"Also, if you speak with one mouth, a few of us will involuntarily obey your commands. This is the authority of those who have been honed on the battlefield. ”

Zhu Qijue was obviously troubled by this matter for a long time, but he never said it. At this time, he had already opened the conversation box, and simply said all the doubts in his heart: "Cousin, why are these? ”

You are obviously a pampered noble son, why do you have the ruthless momentum that can only be achieved after a long battle?

Is your hatred for Yuan Silan really just because of Cheng Jinrong?

……

Looking at Zhu Qijue's eyes, He Qi didn't know what to say for a while.

He can't tell the truth.

But he also didn't want to deceive his cousin, who grew up together since he was a child, and was like a brother and sister, and trusted him very much.

After a long time, He Qicai said in a low voice: "Qijue, I don't want to lie to you. I do have a secret. However, this secret cannot be told to you at this time. ”

Zhu Qijue didn't get annoyed at all, but smiled and breathed a sigh of relief: "It turns out that I am not suspicious, you really have a secret to hide from us." ”

"Okay, you have something unspeakable, don't say it if you don't want to say it. Later, if you are willing to say it, or if you can say it, it will not be too late to say more. ”

Congratulations: "......"

So easy to get through?

He Qi was a little unsure, and asked uncertainly: "Are you really not angry?" ”

Zhu Qijue grinned: "What is there to be angry about." We've all grown up, and who can live without a little bit of secrets and unwanted troubles? If you don't want to, don't say it! I can still chase you and ask you non-stop! It's not the time to be seven or eight years old again. ”

He Qi couldn't help but laugh dumbly.

They are cousins and have been playing together since childhood. Zhu Qijue is one year younger than him, and often runs east and west behind him. When I was seven or eight years old, I was even more clingy, like a fart.

To say a word of conscience, he is much closer and more casual to Zhu Qijue than to the eldest brother and fourth brother.

Zhu Qijue was interested in talking, lowered his voice and smiled: "Don't look at the big guys smiling all day long, they actually have some worries." Jiang Liu decided on a family affair, but I heard that the fifth lady of the Yong'an Hou Mansion was not happy with this family affair, and she had buried Jiang Liu in front of her friends in the boudoir. Somehow, these words reached Jiang Liu's ears, making Jiang Liu angry enough. ”

He Qi listened interestingly, and continued to listen with his ears pricked up.

Zhu Qijue gossiped about Ye Lingyun again: "Ye Lingyun has a sweetheart." A month ago, he and his sister went to the temple to offer incense. met a talented lady in Beijing and fell in love at first sight. In the past month, he has been making a fuss about asking his family to propose! ”

What the?

He Qi was really surprised this time: "There is such a thing!" Why don't I know! ”

Zhu Qijue said with a smile: "A few of us are on errands in the palace every day, and there are many people, so it is inconvenient to mention these things." ”

"Besides, the Duke of Yasukuni does not agree to this family business, and Ye Lingyun has been making trouble for a while, but it is useless. He wants to save face the most, and he is embarrassed to tell us this. It was only two days ago that I heard Zheng San mention this matter. ”

Zheng Qinghuai and Ye Lingyun have a closer relationship. What Ye Lingyun was ashamed to talk about, only Zheng Qinghuai knew.

"Why doesn't Yasukuni agree?" He Qi's focus is obviously different from Zhu Qijue's: "Could it be that this girl's family background is too ordinary?" ”

Zhu Qijue touched his chin: "It's not." This girl's surname is Zhou, and she is the granddaughter of Zhou Shangshu of the Ministry of Rites. In terms of background, it is also a first-class scholarly family. ”

"Still, you know. We military generals are in the family, and we hardly marry civil officials. This is also a common practice between the DPRK and China. ”

In the Great Chu court, civil and military officials are clearly distinguished. The civil servants married each other, and the generals also married their colleagues. It has also become a tacit practice that civilian, military and military generals do not intermarry.

First, there is a gap between civilian officials and military generals, and they are not harmonious with each other.

Second, this is also the scene that Emperor Xuanhe is willing to see, Emperor Xuanhe acquiesced and promoted it intentionally or unintentionally, and finally formed such a situation.

He Qi thought for a moment and said in a low voice: "Actually, this family business may not be impossible. ”

"There is a custom in the DPRK and China that civil ministers and military generals do not marry, but it is not an unbreakable iron rule. The Duke of Yasukuni was reluctant to go to the Zhou family to propose marriage, presumably because he was worried about the emperor's attitude. lest the emperor be jealous. ”

The Duke of Yasukuni is ranked as the third prince and is the mainstay of the military generals. Zhou Taifu is the most noble of the six rites. Moreover, Zhou Taifu is particularly partial to the six princes, and will definitely support the six princes as princes in the future.

With the shrewdness and sophistication of the Duke of Yasukuni, how could he have made a bet on the six princes early. When it comes to getting married, it is natural to be cautious.

Zhu Qijue's eyes lit up, and he came over: "Cousin, what can you do?" ”

He Qi's eyes flashed, and he smiled casually: "I haven't figured it out yet." Anyway, we went to the border this time, and we don't know when we will be able to return to the capital. Don't rush for the time being, you can always come up with a good solution. ”

When Zhu Qijue heard this, he also felt reasonable, and said with a smile: "Wait for me tomorrow, quietly ask Ye Si." If he really has a deep affection for Miss Zhou, we will have to help him once. ”

After talking about Ye Si, Zhu Qijue gossiped about Zheng Qinghuai again: "Zheng San looks heartless, but he actually has something on his mind. Once, I asked him which girl he liked. He couldn't speak, and then he fled. ”

"Wait, could he be secretly admiring Princess Corning!"

Otherwise, as soon as he asked that day, why did Zheng Qinghuai's eyes drift and his face was full of emptiness?

He Qi smiled and patted Zhu Qijue: "Don't be suspicious." The emperor decreed marriage, and there was no news before. Even you don't know, how could Zheng San know! He must have something else hidden in his arms against you! ”

What's hidden?

Zhu Qijue pondered these four words repeatedly in his heart, and suddenly thought of another possibility, and suddenly stared at him: "This Zheng San shouldn't be aiming at Qixuan!" Bah, he dares to move this thought, I have to beat him flat! ”

He Qi raised his eyebrows and smiled: "Yes or no, we'll know later." ”
