"Peony to the princess, please be safe." Early in the morning, Peony hurried back from outside, and a cold body hit, saying that Yin had been waiting outside for a long time. This peony is indeed a good underdog.

Qin Yinruo continued to eat the small plate in front of him, and only glanced at the peony lightly. "Tell me, what?"

"This morning, Your Majesty announced that the third son of the Zheng family is going to return to the court, the news has departed from the post station, passed day and night, and it should be able to reach the border in a few days, and it is estimated that Zheng Gongzi will arrive in Kyoto in a month." Peony bowed her head respectfully.

Qin Yinruo's hand trembled slightly, "It is indeed settled down over there, and it is reasonable for the Emperor to summon him back." ”

Qin Yinruo put down his chopsticks, "The envoy group from Dongyu Kingdom is coming back soon." ”

"Yes, there's news ahead, it's about ten days away." Peony handed over a note.

Qin Yinruo unfolded the letter, took a quick look, and soaked the paper in the teacup, "Time flies quite quickly, this Dongyu is rich in the end, even if he has experienced some unbearable, he can still give back so many gifts." The royal brother went down to the court, but did he go to the queen mother? ”

"His Royal Highness just sent someone over, saying that after greeting the concubine, he would come to the princess's side to play chess for a while, and I hope the princess can leave some time for him." Peony raised her eyes and looked at Qin Yinruo.

Qin Yinruo picked up the teacup and looked at the paper that had been diluted in the water, "I'm done eating, take it." ”

"No." Peony respectfully cleaned up the table and put away the dishes and chopsticks. "Princess, do you have any other commands?"

Qin Yinruo got up and walked to the window, it was already heating up outside, this hot summer day was coming again, day by day, it was really similar every year, but the people were very different.

Qin Yinruo's hair was draped casually, and her beautiful face was shining in the sun, with a hint of softness.

"Princess, would you like some refreshments?" Seeing that Qin Yin didn't speak, Peony asked again.

Qin Yinruo looked at the peony that was about to withdraw after cleaning up, the peach blossom eyes of the peony were expressionless and seemed to be smiling, this appearance was easy to make people feel close. That's probably why the royal brother sent her to my palace.

Peony was very well-behaved, waiting for Qin Yinruo's reply.

"Peony can always think so carefully, then you go and prepare some of the royal brother's favorite food. Don't let anyone else in. I'm alone. ”

"No." Peony's hand holding the tray was slightly nervous, she was a member of the Second Highness, and the princess had always known it. Is that sentence just now reminding yourself again?

If Qin Yin doesn't like too many people, there are not many slaves and maids in the palace, and at this time, she is the only one left. Qin Yinruo's fingers moved back and forth on the window frame, and the touch of the solid wood made her feel at ease, and her thoughts drifted away.

The Zheng family is coming back, and I don't know how lively this Kyoto city will be? Those few people are really the dazzling existence of this Kyoto City.

Zheng Pingxin has made military merits, will his father let him return to the palace to continue to be on duty? Or will you go to Zheng Jiajun? Thinking of that gentle person, Qin Yinruo took out the peace charm on his chest and stroked it gently, no matter what was ahead, as long as everything was smooth.

Zheng Ling's status as the county lord should be a little more stable, and the reward will not be less, this time he helped Dongyu Kingdom, became a distinguished guest of Dongyu Kingdom, and made great contributions to the diplomatic relations between Daqin and Dongyu Kingdom. I'm afraid everyone in Kyoto City is going to be staring at it. Whether it is a family with a daughter, or a mansion with a son, she is the one who is in the limelight, I don't know if the royal brother has moved his mind, although she said in public before that she would not marry in this life, but this kind of thing has always been the words of the matchmaker of her parents, can she easily avoid it? Qin Yin couldn't help but shake his head lightly when he thought of this, revealing a helpless smile. Since ancient times, how many women have been able to make decisions for themselves. What about me? Can I? Qin Yinruo felt a trace of bitterness in his heart, and carefully put away the peace charm.

Will Zheng Wan, disguised as Zheng Shouyun, appear in the envoy group and come back together? Or will you continue to disappear under the pretext of wandering? The father may not let such a person go, is she bold, this Zheng family woman has one thing in common, she is just as powerful. I hope she will come back safely, and I don't know what the royal brother will do to her? She should not be underestimated, the imperial brother has the intention to pull him into his camp, if he knows that Zheng Shouyun is Zheng Wan, what will he do? It's really a source of instability. This Zheng Shouyun's identity must disappear as soon as possible, there should be no Zheng Shouyun in this world, so what should I do? Qin Yinruo fell into deep thought.

"Yin Ruo." Qin Yinde soon appeared in the courtyard, wearing dark purple clothes and looking more upright, but the sharpness between his eyebrows made people feel like they didn't dare to get close.

During this time, Qin Yinde became more and more cautious, and the entire court entered a seemingly very calm state, Qin Yinruo looked at his second brother, and he seemed to see the other two elder brothers.

It should be time for the Third Emperor Brother's body to recover, he had been pretending to be ill before, but now that the Zheng family is back, especially Zheng Ling is back, he should come out to move. Zheng Ling, Brother Three Emperors, the incident on the outskirts of the city, Brother Three Emperors lay down in the muddy waters this time for her, do the Three Emperor Brothers have any intentions for her? The Fourth Emperor Brother, a person with a very low sense of existence, since Su Qin went to Dongyu as an envoy, he was even more ignored and almost couldn't remember the existence of this person.

"Brother Huang! There you are! Qin Yinruo showed a rare smile for a thousand years and greeted him.

"Yin Ruo." The corners of Qin Yinde's mouth rose slightly, "You seem to be in a good mood today." Qin Yinde followed Qin Yinruo into the house, his sister has always been cold, and the number of times her smile appeared was only a handful.

"I'm in a good mood this year. Daqin's fortune can be said to be smooth sailing, the border issues have been properly handled, and naturally I feel a lot more at ease. Qin Yinruo was already sitting at the table with his brother, and the sun was shining right in front of the chessboard, a piece of warmth.

"Brother, you play black chess, Yin Ruo will let you make three moves first." Qin Yinruo pushed the chess box over.

"Not necessarily. Yin Ruo used his own strength to play against me. Qin Yinde rejected Qin Yinruo's concession.

Qin Yinruo smiled again, "The imperial brother is the imperial brother in the end. ”

"Yin Ruoke is the number one chess player in Kyoto City, and fear can't solve the problem at this time."

"It's just everyone's false praise. There are mountains outside the mountains, and there are people outside the people, if you really don't dare to be it, brother, please. ”

Qin Yinde put down the first chess piece.

"The envoy group is coming back soon, and I don't know if Zheng Shouyun will come back with him this time. He, the adopted son of the Zheng family, can be described as infinitely beautiful. My brother was more interested than he was. ”

Qin Yinde stared at the chessboard, "What do you think of him?" ”

"The ability should be good, after all, they are the people of the Zheng family, and they have always had no waste." Qin Yinruo looked at the chess game intently.

Qin Yin Demo rubbed the chess pieces in his hand, "Will he be willing to be my subordinate?" ”

"Heh, he is the adopted son of the Zheng family, his identity is destined, where the Zheng family stands, he will stand, he has no choice, brother, what do you say? If he betrays the Zheng family, do you think Zheng Nangong will let him go? Instead of staring at him alone, the imperial brother should think about how to win over the Zheng family. The strength of the Zheng clan far exceeds the strength of one person. "Qin Yinruo's speed of playing chess is very fast, every time Qin Yinde has just made a move, her chess pieces have already followed closely, and soon, the chessboard has accounted for a quarter.

Qin Yinde pondered for a moment and changed the subject, "After a while, Zheng Pingxin will be back." Today, the Emperor has made a decree. ”

"What are the Emperor's plans this time?" Qin Yinruo's voice couldn't hear any emotion.

"You're of marriageable age, too." Qin Yinde raised his eyes and looked at Qin Yinruo.

Qin Yinruo's hand holding on to the chess piece paused slightly, and he was indescribably lonely in his heart, and put down the white chess piece. "Brother Huang, when did you care so much about Yin Ruo's marriage?"

Qin Yinde held his cheeks and repeatedly pinched the chess pieces in his hand. "Zheng Pingxin's person is not bad. The individual families in Kyoto City spoke very well of him, and they all wanted him to be a quick son-in-law, and their daughters' families also wanted to marry him. He will never be missing among the famous sons of Kyoto City now. The storyteller is starting to talk about his book. It is said that every time a storyteller mentions him, the bounty will never be less. ”

Qin Yinruo's heart rippled, but he still said coldly, "Really? That's good, but this marriage has to be considered good by Lord Taiwei. ”

"If you marry, will you choose him?"

"Brother Huang laughed, the marriage of the children of the royal family has always been decided by the father." Qin Yinruo lowered his head slightly, unable to see his expression clearly.

"If you don't care about that. Do you want to think only of yourself? What do you think? Qin Yinde's rare concern made Qin Yinruo a little surprised.

Qin Yin couldn't help but raise his head and looked at his brother who had always been thoughtful. In the eyes of his brother, he will always only have the throne, and everything else is just a pawn for him to take the throne. So he wants to make himself a pawn to win over the Zheng family?

Qin Yinde rarely touched Qin Yinruo's head, "After all, you and I are brothers and sisters, and in this royal family, our bond is the deepest." ”

Qin Yinruo looked at Qin Yinde's eyes carefully for a long time, but he couldn't tell whether Qin Yinde really cared or was hypocritical, this person's mind was too deep, he couldn't see through it, he couldn't guess it, "Brother Huang, don't look for Yin Ruo's happiness, do you want to show favor to the Zheng family?" ”

Qin Yinde played another chess piece, "Yes and no, the Zheng family is not on the side now, but as long as their family has a choice, it is a very important existence." It would be great if they could get into our camp. You are wise and can never betray me, and if you marry into their family, it will be a great help to me. Qin Yinde did not shy away from his ambitions. Moreover, there is really no need to talk about anything else with this sister of your own, this sister is probably the person who knows herself in the world.

Qin Yinruo shook his head helplessly, "It does sound like a good idea." ”

Qin Yinde suddenly came to Qin Yinruo's face, carefully examined his sister, his sharp eyes seemed to be able to see through Qin Yinruo's heart, "Besides, I also know your thoughts." If you can be happy, it is also the icing on the cake. As an elder brother, I still hope that my sister can be happy. ”

Qin Yinruo's body leaned back slightly, and suddenly laughed, Qin Yinruo's smile was very warm, forming a fresh contrast with her usual cold appearance, "Brother, it's rare to see you so naïve!" It's kind of funny. It's a pity that I'm not suitable at all. ”

"It's man-made! There are many things in this world that can be worked on. Qin Yinde didn't care about his sister's rebuttal.

"Artificial? How artificial? Are you going to ask your father? Can you? No, you can't, you are Qin Yinde, the second prince of Great Qin, the most likely candidate to become the crown prince, how can you open this mouth, the military power of the Taiwei Mansion, the father and the emperor are jealous. You just want to be so blatantly wooed? Aren't you afraid to be like him? ”

"Naturally, I won't do it myself."

"Then who does the imperial brother think is suitable to facilitate this? Even if Zheng Pingxin personally opened his mouth to marry his father, it would cause countless disputes and suspicions, what would his father think about it at that time? What will Zheng Nangong think? I am your own sister, we are the same mother and father, and you and I are grasshoppers on the same rope. This matter is even more difficult than you marrying the daughter of the Zheng family! "Qin Yinruo's chest hurts for a while, and who can understand the state of mind that hangs up? Maybe you can't help yourself and don't have extravagant hopes, and you won't be disappointed if you don't have expectations.

"You still need more practice to play chess, Brother Huang." If Qin Yin put down the last chess piece in his hand, the wins and losses on the chessboard would already be over.

"Don't you want to do it yourself?" Qin Yinde casually put the chess pieces back into the chess box, making a crisp sound, and if the chess is lost, it will be lost.

Qin Yinruo returned to his cold appearance, "I don't want to!" Brother Huang, sometimes you can just keep something in your heart. I don't want you to mention it again. ”

Qin Yinde looked at his sister for a long time, "You're right. This is not a good idea. ”

Qin Yinruo sorted out the chess pieces and put them back in the box, "Brother Huang, do you still want to play?" ”

"That's it for today, I'll go back first, Yin Ruo, sometimes, you don't have to be so yourself." Qin Yinde wanted to speak and stopped, "You, be kind to yourself, no matter how you say it, you are also a princess of a country, the princess of my Great Qin." Qin Yinde patted his clothes.

"Yin Ruogong sent the imperial brother." Qin Yinruo's rejection of people's performance thousands of miles away made Qin Yinde frown slightly, and he reluctantly flicked his sleeves and went out.

Qin Yinruo stood up, looked at the door that had been closed, and showed a bitter smile, "Heh." Hard? Princess? It's just a puppet trapped in power. It would be nice if I wasn't born in the royal family. Qin Yinruo suddenly felt a sense of powerlessness, fell back to the chair in vain, snapped, the teacup was overturned, and turned around on the table a few times, but it stopped at the table, but it didn't break, Qin Yinruo straightened the teacup.

The second brother's interest in Zheng Shouyun far exceeded his expectations, and it seems that the road back will not be stable. Zheng Wan, then I'll help you. Qin Yinruo regained his composure.
