Chapter 17: Estrangement

Qin Daochuan returned to the mansion, first went to Xuanwei Hall to ask for peace, the old lady smelled the smell of wine and asked him where he drank the wine, he wanted to tell his grandmother what the Seven Princes said today.

But when he was about to open his mouth, he found that so far, this matter was just groundless, if he told the old lady about this catch-after story, the old lady would definitely be dissatisfied with He Shiqing, and it would be impossible for the two to maintain their current respect for each other.

Therefore, he decided to hide it, only saying that it was invited by the seven princes, and he couldn't push a few more drinks.

The old lady knew that once he drank too much, his head would hurt, and he was not used to drinking sobering soup since he was a child, so she no longer kept him and urged him to go back to the room to rest earlier.

Qin Daochuan felt that his head was really hurting, and after leaving Xuanwei Hall, he walked straight to the study in the front yard.

As soon as I turned the corner, I saw He Shiqing, who was leading the maid to wait here, seeing that most of the costumes had just returned from the banquet, and when they saw him appear, they quickly greeted him and gently snuggled in his arms.

Smelling the smell of wine on his body, he raised his head and asked softly, "Chuanlang, have you drunk Mo?" ”

Qin Daochuan snorted, hugged her lightly with one hand, and walked towards the left courtyard instead.

Along the way, He Shiqing talked about the interesting things about going to the palace today, and her voice was soft and soft, drifting into her ears like spring breeze and rain, Qin Daochuan felt that his head didn't seem to hurt so much.

After entering the left courtyard and sitting down, He Shiqing instructed Dark Fragrance to pour sobering tea. He gently rubbed Qin Daochuan's temples with both hands, and pretended to be angry: "I know that I have a headache when I drink, why do you drink a lot?" Who is so ignorant that he knows that you drink lightly, and still pries you to drink. ”

Qin Daochuan took her hand, shook his head, and said, "Rub it, it's much better." ”

He Shiqing said: "It's better to go into the back room to rest." ”

Qin Daochuan thought that he still had something to do in the afternoon, so he said, "No need, I have to go out later, just rest for a while." ”

After speaking, he leaned his body on the cushion behind him, He Shiqing was still in his arms, Qin Daochuan closed his eyes, and felt that this was very good, just like in the past, when his father was at home, his mother was also reading with him like this, and if he read interestingly, he must read it to his father. Father occasionally replied a few words, the two of you say a word to me, like a fairy couple...

It's a good feeling that the years are quiet.

After a long time, He Shiqing called him softly: "Chuanlang? ”

Qin Daochuan snorted and rubbed her fingertips.

He Shiqing said softly: "Today I went with my mother to visit the concubine Niangniang, who knew that Niangniang was crying in the palace, and my mother secretly asked the people who served around Niangniang, but no one dared to say. ”

When Qin Daochuan heard this, his heart tightened, and he suddenly fell asleep.

He Shiqing continued: "Later, when I sent my mother back to the house, I happened to meet my father returning from the court, so my mother asked my father, and my father said that it was because of the Nine Emperor Sons. ”

Qin Daochuan still had his eyes closed.

"The Nine Emperors have indeed suffered an unwarranted disaster, although his fief is in Dongjun, but he stays in the capital all day, where does he know about local affairs." After He Shiqing finished speaking, he sat up and shook Qin Daochuan gently, "Chuanlang, my father wants me to ask what you mean, if Commander Liu of the Dongjun Xiang Army can't keep it, he wants to recommend you to the emperor." ”

Qin Daochuan couldn't lie down any longer, sat up, and said: "I, the general of the cavalry, is in charge of the defense of the northern land, and the military affairs in these places have always been in charge of the forbidden army, and my father-in-law is concerned about it. ”

He Shiqing continued: "Father means that the Nine Emperor Princes will put down the chaos, you only help him, they are all a family, one is prosperous, one is lost, and one is lost, and the Nine Emperor Princes will definitely thank you for your help today." ”

For the first time, Qin Daochuan felt that He Shiqing's voice was no longer good, and it was no longer calming.

At this moment, Qin Dong relieved his urgent need.

Qin Daochuan walked out of the courtyard gate and walked quickly, Qin Dong followed behind, wondering what happened to the general today, as if he had seen a ghost?

At the door of the study, Qin Daochuan asked Qin Dong to stay outside the door, and whoever looked for him said that he was not in the house.

I hid in the study and sat until it was getting dark.

He remembered the first time he saw He Shiqing.

At that time, he recommended himself to go on the expedition, but the emperor did not allow him because he was young, so he asked his grandmother to accompany him into the palace to face the saint, set up a military order, and receive the position of vanguard.

At that time, a banquet was being held in the palace to celebrate the thirtieth birthday of Concubine He, and all the famous ladies were present.

After the emperor agreed, he left him to go to the banquet together, and during the banquet, He Shiqing came out of the queue and said that he wanted to present a song for the mother, but it was "Sending the Army" to play.

On the day of the expedition, they were sent outside the city.

He had already seen her intentions, but unfortunately he had officially engaged to the Lu family in Qingzhou the year before, and he could only pretend not to know about He Shiqing's admiration.

He stayed in the north for three years, and finally found an opportunity, infiltrated the royal court, and beheaded the head of the Tartar man Manlu, avenging his father's hatred and family hatred.

Then, taking advantage of the internal turmoil in the Tartars, he brought back the bones of the soldiers scattered in the hinterland of the Tartars after they died in the bloody battle of Hutuketu.

The emperor was happy and gave his grandfather and father a state funeral.

When the funeral procession went out of the city, He Shiqing played a song "General Order" in the long pavilion, which caused countless people to cry.

The grandmother was afraid that he would be tempted, and she was very resolute in her attitude, and since she had received people's money and relieved her own danger, she must not be treacherous.

He had no choice but to declare to the public that he had already been engaged to the Lu family in Qingzhou.

For a while, the capital was in an uproar, and the young son of the dignified Guogong Mansion actually married the deviant Qingzhou Lu family.

Secretly, I don't know how many people say that he did not hesitate to lower his value for money, which really damaged the reputation of the national government.

He didn't know who to blame, he didn't know who to hate, and he didn't think about escaping to the Northland, but the responsibility on his shoulders prevented him from acting arbitrarily.

When he was young, he was passive, he was admired by He Shiqing when he was young, and even his grandmother asked him to marry the Lu family who was still in filial piety in advance.

Unexpectedly, after his marriage date with the Lu family was set, He Shiqing insisted on going his own way, and even did not hesitate to destroy his reputation, so that he had to marry, in order not to embarrass him, he volunteered to be a concubine.

To say that he was not touched is false.

A famous lady with a beautiful demeanor and a merchant girl who has never met before, no matter who they are, they all know how to choose.

Was he wrong?

Why can't he find a confidant who is as close to his mother as his father and mother?
