Since Ziqing was crowned the crown prince, Qi Hao has come to my Yilan Hall to work a lot, and I can't see any displeasure in him, but he often sits alone in a daze, I can't say anything to comfort him, although they are all my friends, but after all, I can't help anything about the court.

"Jiu'er, it's my birthday in a few days." Qi Hao said a little lazily as he lifted the teacup in his hand, and he sat down on the pear blossom wood carving chair.

I put down the brocade that I was embroidering in my hand and looked at him, "Yes, it's a new year again." How do you want to live? ”

It's always been like this for more than half a month, he tastes tea, is in a daze, writes, is a little taciturn, I can't comfort him, just read by his side, embroidery accompanies him.

"The queen mother said that my father is going to hold a big wedding banquet, you say, what's the point of him doing this?"

"The emperor still loves you, after all, you are father and son."

Hearing me say this, he chuckled disdainfully, "Huh, love me? He loves that nemesis! I really don't know that after so many years of being cold and indifferent to that guy, now it's a big surprise. ”

When he said this, I must have been unhappy, and I was a little reproachful, "Don't say that, Ziqing is your younger brother." ”

"Brother? Don't be funny, if he really treats me as a brother, how can he agree to his father to be the crown prince! Qi Hao's tone was finally full of hatred, and he gritted his teeth.

"Who dares to be disobedient to the emperor's words, maybe he has his own hardships, he has never told me that he wants to be the prince, maybe he is helpless." After saying this, I fell into deep thought, Ziqing, Ziqing, do you really want to be the prince, or are you helpless as I said?

"You're still speaking for him? Why is he heavier than I am in your hearts? ”

"No, no, you're all the same in my heart." Are they all the same? Saying such things also made me a little unconfident, "You have a queen mother who loves you and supports you, he has nothing, I naturally care more about him, don't think about it." ”

"Then if I don't have a queen mother......

Hearing him say if, I was also shocked in my heart, and immediately interrupted him, "Bah, what are you talking nonsense, this makes the queen mother sad to hear it." ”

"Jiu'er, if I am the crown prince today, will you defend me?"

"That's nature, I said it all, you are my friends." Looking at Qi Hao's increasingly haggard face, I was also a little distressed, this is just a teenage child, how can I think so much, it seems that the emperor's family was born with too much burden.

He stopped talking, drank the cold tea, and did not renew the cup, his slender fingers rubbed the white porcelain peach blossom cup in his hand, and the most beautiful peach blossom eyes also lost their luster, and he was in a daze, I don't know what he was thinking, but I felt that no words could make up for his disappointment in his father.

Thinking that it will be his birthday in a few days, looking at the embroidered handkerchief in his hand, he plans to embroider a purse for him, and he can't also cook hot pot for him to eat, so I am afraid that he will think more. With such a plan, I began to get busy in my hands, in the past half a year, my female celebrity skills have grown a lot, if I really belong to this era, I can be regarded as a qualified woman.

While I was embroidering, Sang Ma suddenly came in and whispered in my ear, His Royal Highness the Crown Prince has come down. I was stunned and accidentally pricked my hand with a needle, and the blood fell on my freshly embroidered branches, like gorgeous plum blossoms. Looking at Qi Hao in front of me, I was a little discouraged, I wanted to see Ziqing, but I was afraid that the two of them would make trouble, but I didn't see Ziqing, and I was afraid that he would think too much, I am afraid that now in the whole palace, in addition to the emperor treating him sincerely, the wave of people led by the queen must be competing with him, and now that he is here, is he also here to comfort me?

"Is he coming?" I was thinking about it, Qi Hao suddenly opened his mouth, maybe he heard Sang Ma's words.

"Hmm." I didn't dare look at him in the eye, and I didn't know how he would face this brother.

"Then let him in, Jiu'er said, we are all your friends, then I will not embarrass you." He put down the cup in his hand and straightened his bones, the innate nobility returned, and his eyes were full of rebelliousness.

Seeing Qi Hao say this, I also breathed a sigh of relief in my heart, and asked Sang Ma to pass it on and bring Ziqing in.

I looked at the person who was getting closer and closer to the door, and I had only been seen for half a month, and suddenly I felt that he was much more mature and stable, and even the steps on his feet were calmer.

"Jiu'er, have you been ...... recently? Hey, the royal brother is also here. It's still that handsome face, but the casual clothes on weekdays have been replaced with pale yellow dragon robes, the black silk high bundle is fixed with a white jade small gold crown, and the feet are embroidered with gold silk edges of the same color, which makes people know at a glance that this is the prince, a symbol of status.

"Only His Royal Highness the Crown Prince is allowed, won't I be allowed to come?" Qi Hao is still targeted like that, just like before.

"What did the imperial brother say, this Yilan Hall is the residence of Jiu'er." Ziqing still smiled as before, replied a little helplessly, and didn't care anymore. I was in a trance and thought that it didn't happen, the two of them were still the same as at the beginning, although there was a discord, they could still eat at the same table.

"How is Jiu'er doing? When you go that day, I really have no skills and snub you. He sat down in a chair beside me, and looked thoughtfully at the Jinpa in my hand.

Seeing him staring at the veil, I hurriedly put it away in a little panic, like an ulterior secret, "I know you're busy, and I don't blame you." It's you, who look emaciated. ”

"Jiu'er, you're busy, I remember something." Qi Hao still couldn't sit still, he stood up, looked down at us, his tone was a little displeased, but it didn't show too obviously, without waiting for me to answer him, he turned around and left, just a small "Heh, prince." "I still heard it in my ears.

"Ziqing, Qi Hao, he ......"

"I understand, I don't blame the royal brother, if I were him, I would have a bad heart." I was in a hurry to explain the words when he interrupted and choked on my mouth, and my heart ached when I looked at his somewhat tired expression.

"Is the third lady of the prime minister's family good-looking?"

"Not as good as you."

"I heard it's a beautiful embryo."

"Not as good as you."

"I heard that I am proficient in piano, chess, calligraphy and painting, and the female celebrity is also good."

"Not as good as you."

"I heard ......"

"Jiu'er." He held my hand and said softly, "In my eyes, the women in the world are inferior to you, and I don't dare to resist when my father gives me marriage, but you know ......"

"I don't know, you are the crown prince, I am the concubine, although I am young, but the identity is already here, we are just friends." I gently pulled my hand out of his palm, lowering my eyebrows, a little lost and a little sad.

His voice trembled a little, his fingers slowly curled together, and his joints began to turn white, "If I didn't become a prince, would you still be so alienated from me." ”

"What nonsense are you talking again! What's wrong with both of you, don't you have one normal today? One said he didn't want the queen mother, and the other said he didn't want the throne, what do you want to do? "I'm really angry and started a fire, has he spent nearly ten years in vain? The queen's indifference to him, the emperor's deliberate alienation, the rejection of the royal brother, the entire palace, except for those minions, who has cared about his well-being, and now the emperor has set him up as the crown prince, spoils him and loves him, and everyone in the palace fears him, so that he can protect himself and protect the country as he said.
