Children are easy to forget, at first they often cried and clamored to find their parents, and within a few days they became close to Qiong Wang Qiuxun.

Qiu Xun slowly enlightened the child, pointed to King Qiong and said that is your father, and I am your mother. is to let them forget Zhao Gongzi and Chun Nuan as soon as possible, and all this is for the safety of Zhao Gongzi and Chun Nuan.

When the two children began to chase King Qiong, they called Daddy sweetly. also knows that Qiu Xun is their mother. King Joan began to prepare to return to the capital.

After arranging all the matters in northern Xinjiang, he and Qiu Xun reluctantly bid farewell to the soldiers and villagers in northern Xinjiang and returned to the capital.

The little prince and the county lord sat on the horses of King Qiong and Qiu Xun respectively, and the three-year-old child experienced a long journey on the horse with his father, the little county lord may have been a man dressed as a woman for two years, and he has the character of a boy, his hands and feet are fast, he will shoot when he says it, and he is also bold and dances on the horse, and there is no girl's timidity at all.

In comparison, the little prince seems much quieter. has the same deep and clear eyes as King Qiong, observing everything around him.

The road is simple, and soon the family will come to Shilipo Manor again.

Qiu Xun really wanted to take the children to see the manor where their mother and grandmother lived, and King Qiong also felt that it was getting late, so it was better to rest in the manor for one night, and then hurry at dawn.

The family dismounted, ate some dry food, and the two children were happily playing in the manor.

Qiu Xun leaned on King Qiong's shoulder, watching the child's play, recalling the bits and pieces of her and King Qiong's manor.

"I really want to stay in the manor and not return to the capital," Qiu Xun muttered, "Just like with my mother before, we live our lives here quietly and without any quarrel with the world." ”

"I'm sorry, Xun'er," King Qiong hugged Qiu Xun tightly in his arms, "Since you married me, you have let you follow me through this kind of life of running around and separating flesh and blood." ”

"No, Lord Wang," Qiu Xun's face rippled with a happy smile, "As long as I can be with you, Ji'er An'er, I will be satisfied." ”

It was late at night. The little prince and the county lord were tired all day and fell asleep early. Qiu Xun was also in a daze, as if he was asleep.

Suddenly, Qiu Xun felt a burning sensation in his back, and there was a light in front of him, and if he looked closely, it looked like fire. Qiu Xun sat up. hugged the little county lord beside him, "Quick, King Qiong, wake up, pick up An'er and run." ”

King Qiong was woken up by Qiu Xun, quickly picked up the little prince, and the family ran outside the manor.

I saw a burst of fire from the back of the manor, and soon burned to the front, and the fire rushed into the sky, illuminating the entire manor.

In an instant, the manor turned into ashes, and Qiu Xun stood there sadly, looking at the burned manor with a dull gaze.

King Qiong comforted Qiu Xun softly, "Xun'er, don't be sad, I will build the manor again in the future, exactly like before." ”

"Lord, when I return to the capital, I must find out the person who set the fire, and also find out the person who poisoned me back then, and use the same method to make them suffer retribution." Qiu Xun said fiercely.

The manor burned, and the family of four could only rush back to the capital overnight, and returned to King Qiong's mansion in the early morning.

Walking into the house, I saw that the yard was clean and clean, and the house was also dusty, King Qiong and Qiu Xun put the sleeping little prince and county lord on the bed, and strangely looked around King Qiong's mansion, which place was neat and tidy.

King Qiong and Qiu Xun, who stayed up all night, couldn't think too much about it, so they fell asleep.

The family slept until almost noon, and heard someone in the yard whispering, "Don't make noise here, go to the back to play." ”

King Qiong and Qiu Xun walked out of the house, and there was a nurse standing in the courtyard.

The nurse saw that Qiong Wang Qiu was looking for it, and hurriedly stepped forward. "Lord Qiong, princess, you are up," the nurse wiped her tears with her sleeve, "since you left, I have come to the gate of the palace every day to have a look." Yesterday, I saw that the seal of the government was opened, and I thought that you would come back soon, so I came in and cleaned it, and you could rest when you came back. ”

"Thank you, nurse." Qiu Xun was moved to hold the nurse's hand.

"Dad, mother," the little prince and the county lord rubbed their eyes and walked out of the house.

"Ah, the little prince and the little lord have grown so big," the nurse happily took the hands of the two children and looked left and right, "It's exactly the same as Prince Qiong." ”

"Mother, it's time to eat," said the nurse, pointing to a thirteen or fourteen-year-old girl who came out of the kitchen. "Princess, this is my eldest daughter, called Xing'er, our mother and daughter simply made you something to eat, princess, go and have breakfast."

King Qiong paid a visit to the emperor early, and the ministers congratulated one after another.

The emperor also pretended to greet a few words and said, "Brother Wang, you have worked hard all the way, you can rest at home for a few more days, and you don't need to go to court early." ”

"Your Majesty, is it really King Qiong and the princess who came back with their two sons and daughters?" The queen asked the emperor who had just left the early dynasty.

"Your news is quite fast, I just heard my father-in-law report to me, you have heard about it a long time ago." The emperor replied.

"It's strange that the two of them with two children who are more than a year old, don't run so fast without a little movement." The queen said with a puzzled expression

The emperor was too lazy to take care of the queen, and drove to the West Palace.

The queen saw that the emperor didn't sit down here and went to the West Palace, and she was angry in her heart, and thought that her plan had failed. Qiu Xun not only returned to the capital unscathed. also personally took her pair of children, and the queen's lungs were about to explode.

Shili Pozhi County came to report to King Qiong, there was a corpse behind the manor, which was poisoned and died. It could be the arsonist.

King Qiong and Young Master Shi quickly rushed to Shilipo, and the magistrate said that the dead man was a poor drunkard near Shilipo, and he was still carrying a wine jug when he died.

Young Master Shi opened the wine jug, sniffed it, and said, "The arsonist must have drunk wine after arson and died in the burned manor." ”

King Qiong looked at Young Master Shi. "Guess who did it?"

Shi Ange waved his hand, took King Qiong to a place where no one was and said, "The wine is the jade brew in the palace, and it is impossible for this poor drunkard to buy it himself, it should be brought out from the palace." ”

"But the emperor has his own personal guard. How could he use a drunkard to set fire and poison the wine in the palace. "King Qiong said in his heart that the emperor is not so stupid,

"Yes, how could the emperor do such a stupid thing." Young Master Shi smiled, "This looks like a woman's trick." ”

"Women?" King Qiong looked at Shi Ange suspiciously.

"King Qiong, there are a lot of people here, let's go back to the palace."

King Qiong returned to the capital, the emperor's heart was much more steady, and the newly sealed concubine Niangniang in the West Palace was delicate and weak, charming and moving.

The emperor was entangled in official affairs in the court every day, and when he returned to the palace, he had to listen to the queen's "Princess Qiong", and he was tired of it for a long time, so as long as the little lady of the West Palace was deeply favored by the emperor, the queen was naturally left out in the cold.

The queen asked the palace maids to step down and caress the piano alone. She played the tunes that she often sang with her cousin, and she couldn't help but think of the time she spent with her cousin.

Where did my cousin go, since he was not with King Joan. Why didn't you go back to Hangzhou?

The queen thought about it, and added resentment to Qiu Xun again. Always find a place to vent.

The palace maid reported, "The princess is here." ”

The queen looked up, "Let the princess in." ”

"I've seen the queen," the eldest princess gave the queen a salute.

"Is there anything wrong with the eldest princess coming to me?" The queen asked.

"Oh, I just want to come and see the queen," the eldest princess smiled, "My brother has been blessed by the emperor and became the prefect of the capital, and he has always wanted to thank the emperor and queen." ”

Qiu Xun returned to the capital, the eldest princess was gloating, she wanted to watch the queen and Qiu Xun fight, maybe she could still benefit from it.

So I came to the queen early in the morning to find out the news.

"Your brother's official is rewarded by the emperor, you should thank the emperor." The queen has this hatred in her heart, if it weren't for the two of you to pry up the emperor, would you be able to recruit King Qiong Qiuxun back to the capital? It makes me sleepless every day.

"Queen, you said that the second princess is really capable, when I ran so far with my two children and King Qiong to escape to the northern Xinjiang, I was able to escape the pursuit of officers and soldiers." The eldest princess wanted to find a topic to lead Qiu Xun to pick something or something.

"The eldest princess means that the officers and soldiers of the court are useless." The queen glared at the eldest princess.

"How dare I, Queen," said the eldest princess, "but the second princess is too strange." ”

"What's so strange about her, she's just an ugly girl from the country." The queen said indignantly.

The eldest princess was happy. How big a belly can a daughter of a small family have. It's a fire that goes up.

"Also, she can compare with the queen there. The queen is proficient in piano, chess, calligraphy and painting, and looks like a fairy, and only the queen can sit in the queen's seat. Qiu Xun can be regarded as a princess, and she burns high incense. ”

The eldest princess's words went to the queen's heart. The queen's heart is happy.

"If it weren't for King Qiong's reputation as a wife, how could she marry King Qiong." The eldest princess couldn't hold it anymore.

"Oh, no wonder," the queen nodded thoughtfully.

"It's also the two princesses who are hard-hitting. didn't let King Qiong die, but Ke's own family was in a mess. The eldest princess continued, "However, she also has people who are not restrained, and she made her mother the queen of Dali, and let King Qiong be blessed by misfortune again and again. ”

After listening to the words of the eldest princess, the queen couldn't help but feel nervous, it seems that this Qiu Xun really can't be underestimated, I heard that Qiu Heng is quite scheming, and even the emperor took him as a confidant and trusted him, but it turned out to be in the hands of the second princess.

No, I want to quickly persuade the emperor to weaken King Qiong's military power and abolish the princess as soon as possible.

But now the emperor is fascinated by the cheap concubine in the West Palace, and he thinks that there is no threat for King Qiong to return to the capital. I don't care about court affairs all day long. I can't listen to me,

The eldest princess saw that the queen didn't speak, but just thought about her thoughts, and knew that it was almost time to stop, so she got up and said,

"The hour is getting late. I won't bother when I see that the queen is well, and I'm going back to the house. ”
