Updated: 2014-04-28

"Really?" Leng Changan bowed again, and his attitude was modest and modest.

Qin Yunuan glanced back at Leng Changxi, and saw that although Leng Changxi's eyes showed a hint of coldness, he had no intention of refusing, nodded, and said to Leng Changan: "It's okay for the eldest brother to say it directly. ”

Leng Changan said apologetically: "I heard about the matter between Ruyi and the third brother and sister last night, it is Ruyi is not right, although Ruyi is a little arrogant, but his mind is not bad, I hope the third brother and sister don't mind." ”

Leng Changan was talking about Ruan Ruyi and the Tang clan uniting with Qin Yunuan to compete for the three shops before, but it was actually just a trivial matter, but Leng Changan took the initiative to apologize humbly, but it seemed that Qin Yunuan was unforgiving.

Qin Yunuan only bowed his head and said: "Big brother is too worried, my sister-in-law and I only have some small frictions, Brother Lao came to explain in person, is it Yunuan's." ”

Leng Changan nodded, then looked at Leng Changxi and said, "Third brother, have you heard?" The Seven Princes were attacked at the Imperial Tomb. Leng Chang'an said as he looked at Leng Changxi with a deep and leisurely look, as if he wanted to hear something from the slight change in the corners of Leng Changxi's lips and eyebrows, but what disappointed him was that Leng Changxi behaved extremely calmly, as if he had heard an inconsequential relationship.

"Oh, I heard." This is Leng Changxi's answer, there is no superfluous words, and after speaking, he doesn't even look at Leng Changan.

Leng Changan smiled awkwardly and said, "The third brother is really well-informed. ”

"What you've heard, I know is normal." Leng Changxi didn't raise his eyebrows, and after speaking coldly, he picked up Qin Yunuan and left.

Back in the courtyard, Man'er and Tingxue helped Qin Yunuan and Qin Baochuan clean up the house, leaving only Qin Yunuan and Leng Changxi, Qin Yunuan asked while combing Leng Changxi's long black hair: "Big brother seems to be very concerned about the affairs of the Seventh Prince;

。 ”

Leng Changxi closed his eyes slightly for a while before replying: "It's not just him, everyone in the court is worried about this matter now, and the opposition is naturally their own ideas to deal with it, while the supporters are busy with how to clear the obstacles for the Seventh Prince." ”

"I don't quite understand," Qin Yunuan tied the disbanded hair into a bun for Leng Changxi, "Although the biological mother of the Seventh Prince is a famous family, the Seventh Prince was expelled to the imperial tomb at a young age, and he can only return to the palace once during the Spring Festival, but why are the people in the court so nervous about this prince who seems to have lost power?" ”

"Because of a rumor," Leng Changxi turned around and held Qin Yunuan's little hand, kneaded it in his arms, and played with it repeatedly, "When the Seventh Prince Sima Qiu was born, there was a profound Taoist who said that he saw the sky-high dragon qi above the palace of the Lady Concubine, and at that time he asserted that the Seven Princes must be the dragon among the people in the future, at first the emperor had great expectations for the Seven Princes, and the Lady Concubine Niangniang was favored, and since she was a child, she invited the best teaching to teach the Seven Princes to practice calligraphy and horseback riding, if it wasn't for the witch Gu case later, The Seventh Prince is the most powerful contender for the crown prince's position. ”

"So this time the Seventh Prince ...... return to Beijing." Qin Yunuan thought slowly.

"That's right," Leng Changxi replied firmly, "This will greatly change the current pattern of the competition for the crown prince in the capital." ”

"No wonder." Qin Yunuan suddenly thought of what Leng Shuang said, "No wonder Sima Rui has such a big movement, and the eldest prince who has never been out of the palace will also take Princess Saichun to the first floor of the capital to find the pastries for the birthday banquet for the Queen Mother, if I guess correctly, next month's Queen Mother's birthday banquet will be the first appearance of the Seven Princes, right?" ”

"Clever." Leng Changxi smiled and pinched the tip of Qin Yunuan's nose, went down again, picked Qin Yunuan's chin, his eyes fell on Qin Yunuan's still flat lower abdomen, and said in a deep voice: "Nuan Nuan, when will you give me a baby." ”

In this way, Qin Yunuan has heard Leng Changxi mention it many times, but ......

As long as she thought of the musk in the sachet, Qin Yunuan had palpitations, when she went to the old lady's place, she had instructed Man'er and Tingxue to search carefully in the courtyard, and the results of the search surprised her very much, not only the sachet, Qin Yunuan's daily incense powder, the pancreas used to wash her hair, and even the close-fitting clothes did not know how the musk was smoked.

Come to think of it, although Qin Yunuan's body has been tossed in the back room for so many years, it was later raised by Liao's mother very well, and even after many years of physical cold, she was healed after marrying into Ning Wangfu, and Leng Changxi is even stronger, often affectionate, it makes no sense that the two have been married for a few months now but there is no news, the simple truth is that Qin Yunuan was calculated, even if she was careful, she was still calculated.

Leng Changxi saw Qin Yunuan's worries, and also knew the results of Man'er and Tingxue's thorough investigation in the courtyard in the afternoon, he got up and hugged Qin Yunuan tightly, holding Qin Yunuan's little face and burying it in his arms: "It's my negligence, I also know how much you want to have a child for the two of us, now that the matter of Baochuan has been settled, I will never let such a thing happen in the future, believe me." ”

"Hmm." Qin Yunuan also hugged Leng Changxi.

That night, Qin Yunuan was very tired and went to bed early, but when she woke up the next morning, Man'er suddenly whispered to Qin Yunuan that some people said that Leng Changxi and Princess Ning had a big quarrel last night for no reason, and no one in the house dared to mention this matter, because the third young master and Princess Ning have always been mothers and sons, and they never have conflicts, and they don't know what happened this time, so Qin Yunuan didn't have to go to Princess Ning to say goodbye today.

Soon came the day of the Queen Mother's birthday banquet, the nobles in Beijing were carefully prepared for the birthday gift early, the Queen Mother's phoenix body was graceful and luxurious, what good things had not been seen, so these wanted to leave a good impression on the Queen Mother's dignitaries in Beijing could only play tricks from the novelty and fun, some people heard that the Queen Mother liked flowers and birds, so they sent a variety of flowers and thrush birds, and some heard that the Queen Mother believed in Buddhism, so they begged the monks from those ancient temples to copy a single book and send it, in short, they all had their own strange tricks;

Qin Yunuan arrived at the gate of the palace a little early, and happened to see Qin Yuzhao, who was attending the birthday banquet with Sima Han, who had been named King Fu, since Qin Yunuan married to King Ning's mansion, the two had never met again, and this chance meeting really surprised the two.

"Third sister." Qin Yuzhao's current dress is no longer the little girl who can only pick up the leftover torn clothes worn by others, the delicate pearl white hosta, the gorgeous life woman court dress, and the cuffs are embroidered with begonia flowers, it can be seen that Sima Han treats Qin Yuzhao very well.

"Yuzhao." Qin Yunuan showed a happy smile, she saw Qin Yuzhao's life woman court dress at a glance, which means that Qin Yuzhao is also a high-grade woman like her, "Let me see, this is the grade that His Royal Highness King Fu asked for you?" ”

"Well," Qin Yuzhao nodded with happiness on his face, "He has been grinding the emperor for a long time, and he said that after giving me a grade, I don't have to worry about being bullied when I go out alone, and I don't know if the emperor understands him for being stupid or is really tired of being grinded by him, and really gives me a six-grade Anren." ”

Although Qin Yuzhao didn't say half a good word about Sima Han in his mouth, the sweetness and happiness of newlywed life were already flowing in his words and eyes.

"By the way," Qin Yuzhao suddenly remembered something, "When I came back a while ago, I heard that my father had expelled the third sister from the family tree, but is it true?" ”

Qin Yunuan smiled slightly, in her heart, she didn't feel that it was a disgraceful thing to be driven out of the family tree by Qin Qian, she had the blood of the Shangguan family, although she had not let everyone know yet, but it was already a blessing to have such a dignified and elegant mother as the Yang family, and a kind and kind grandfather like Shangguan Yi.

"That's right, from now on, I won't be able to enter the Qin family's ancestral hall, the Qin family's ancestral temple, and Baochuan can't go to the Qin family's clan study," Qin Yunuan finished speaking, looking at Qin Yuzhao and lowering his head with some pity, Qin Yunuan smiled instead, "But I have never been valued by my father as a concubine in the Qin family, and there are very few opportunities to enter the ancestral temple and ancestral hall, and Baochuan is already preparing to enter the Guozijian, what the Qin family has learned, how can it be compared?" Yu Zhao, after getting out of the fire pit of the Qin family, I have lived a more wonderful life. ”

"I understand," Qin Yuzhao is not like this, she is disliked in the Qin family, but in front of the blessed king Sima Han, she is regarded as a treasure, "It's just that my sister doesn't understand it yet." Qin Yuzhao glanced at Qin Yunuan, and then said, "Third sister, I'm afraid I don't know yet, my mother has already entrusted the matchmaker to pull the line for my sister and the second young master of Ning Wangfu who lost his wife three years ago, and it is estimated that if I pick a good day, I will marry my sister." ”

Qin Yuzhao's sister is talking about Qin Yuwan, but I didn't expect that the second girl of the Qin family, who was going to die because of Shangguan Rang's death, is now going to get married, and she is still married to Leng Changxi's second brother, and the sister became a concubine, and I don't know if it's a blessing or a curse.

"I've heard that." Qin Yunuan nodded, without saying too much, the banquet has been prepared, today's banquet is in the largest and most luxurious palace in the palace - Xianxi Palace, the golden pillars will hold the hall high, majestic and solemn, all the nobles who come, Qin Yunuan followed Princess Ning to sit on the east seat, Leng Changxi sat close to the emperor, talking to the emperor from time to time, people with eyes can see how much the emperor attaches importance to this first general of Daqi.

Princess Ning looked a little haggard, Qin Yunuan was by her side, but in her mind, she thought of the last time Man'er said that Leng Changxi and Princess Ning quarreled for no reason, it seems that this matter still has an impact on Princess Ning.

Just waiting for the people to almost arrive, and when the banquet was about to begin, the eunuch guarding the door suddenly sang: "The Seven Princes have arrived." ”
