Xiao Bocai was not at ease in the end, and after a while, he went to the Qiu Mansion despite the fact that it was getting dark.

Qiu Buyan sat on the armrest of the gazebo, her legs dangling back and forth in the air, holding a long and gorgeous peacock feather in her hand, tickling the peacock pecking at her feet.

In this early summer, which was already hot, she was wrapped in a thick cloak, but she still coughed a few times from time to time, Xiaozhu stood beside her, holding a cup of tea in her hand, and her brows were tightly locked.

Xiaozhu saw Xiao Bocai from a distance and saluted in surprise, "The prince is here, and the girl refuses to eat or take medicine."

Xiao Bocai approached quickly, and said in a scorched voice, "Fourth sister, why don't you refuse to take medicine?" ”

Qiu Buyan turned his head to look at her, Xiao Bocai was stunned, he had never seen Qiu Buxian's silent gaze.

Qiu Buwei covered his lips and coughed a few times, motioned for Xiaozhu to retreat, and patted his side, "Brother Xiao, sit."

Qiu Buyan would only call him Brother Xiao when he was in a good mood, but she really didn't look like she was happy.

Xiao Bocai became more and more suspicious in his heart, but he didn't dare to sit down beside her, they had grown up, and he was the future princess, and his mother had told him countless times, but he didn't dare to make a mistake.

Qiu Buyi sneered, "What? Brother Xiao doesn't dare? ”

Xiao Bocai said honestly, "We have grown up, and we can't be like when we were children."

Qiu Buyan laughed again, "Grown up? Is Brother Xiao going to marry a wife and have children? ”

Speaking of this, Xiao Bocai also sighed, "The mother concubine has told me several times, and she will definitely find me a lady who knows how to be a scholar, as soon as she says something about a lady who knows books and talents, I think of your third sister, and I am afraid to panic."

"Are you afraid of the third sister?"

Xiao Bocai scratched his head, "It's not that I'm afraid, I don't dare to speak out loud in front of her, for fear that I will say something wrong and be rude, alas, most of the ladies in this world are similar to your third sister, and I have a headache when I think about it."

Qiu Buyi was silent for a while, and suddenly said, "Then why don't you marry a wife?" ”

Xiao Bocai was stunned and subconsciously retorted, "How can that work?" The concubine will not agree".

Qiu Buyi glanced at him, and then looked down at the peacock foraging at his feet, "The prince came to see me this afternoon, and the third sister heard that you sent the peacock to me, so I invited Miss Dong to come and see."

The prince said that he was afraid that I would be sick, so he ordered the peacock to be taken to the back garden to show the third sister and Miss Dong, and the third sister and Miss Dong said that Deng Guifei had just made a finch gold fur this year, and the snowflakes were not attached and the rain did not soak it.

Miss Dong said that she would go back and ask Second Master Ning to help her visit where to buy peacocks, and the prince said that he would give these two peacocks to the third sister and Miss Dong to make a piece of finch gold fur each."

If it were a weekday, Qiu Buyan would definitely be angry and noisy at this time, and maybe he would have to cry for a long time, but at this time, Qiu Buyan was very calm, calm and almost cold, Xiao Bocai listened to the gratuitous heartbeat, and blurted out, "Then why are these two peacocks still here?" ”

"The third sister said, these two peacocks were given to me by you, it is not good to win people's love, the prince said, but two birds, I will not be stingy, the third sister said that she does not want the finch, but sent someone to ask me if I would like to send one to Miss Dong, I said no."

Xiao Bocai's heart was slightly relieved, "Your third sister will not rob you of things, and Miss Dong is not quite unreasonable, and she is a guest at your house, let alone robbed you."

Qiu Buyi raised his head violently, stared at him and said, "But the prince is very unhappy, saying that the third sister and Miss Dong want it very much, and it is not a precious thing, and I am stingy and don't know the general situation."

Xiao Bocai was dumbfounded, and he pursed his lips, but his eyes were still red, "I don't know the general situation!" After I got engaged to him, the word he said to me the most was that he didn't know the general situation! Say I'm stingy and don't know the general situation, say I'm coquettish and don't know the general situation, say I'm timid and don't know the general situation, and if you see me, you have to discipline me once, don't be ignorant of the general situation! ”

Xiao Bocai realized something, and his face turned red in a hurry, "Fourth sister, don't say it!" ”

"I'm going to say it! My great-grandfather is a famous Confucian in the south of the Yangtze River, my father is the prince and young master, is a six-book book, my mother was born in the century-old Xie family, I grew up, except for my mother, no one dared to give me grievances, that is, when I was a child, I was ignorant and fought with the third sister, and the third sister also let me most!

But since I got engaged to the prince, I had to swallow my anger from time to time, be reprimanded by the prince, be tormented by the Su family, and go to collect the corpses of the Su family!

Since the news came out that King Ning Jun was going to marry the third sister, he always told me to please the third sister, and now even Dong Jin'er, the orphan daughter of a concubine, I have to let her!

My princess is not as good as the sister-in-law of King Ningjun! What's the point of doing it! ”

Xiao Bocai was so frightened that he wanted to cover her mouth, "Fourth sister, sister, don't say it, it's disrespectful to spread it!" ”

Qiu Buyan's eyes were red, but there was no superfluous expression on his delicate face, "Brother Xiao, I only ask you, if I get rid of my relationship with the crown prince, would you like to marry me?" ”

Xiao Bocai was stunned, he suddenly found that although everyone said that Qiu Buyan and Qiu Xiyin, twin sisters, were not like each other at all, but at this time, Qiu Buyan was very similar to Qiu Xiyin......

……

……

Xiao Bocai left in a panic, faint excitement and anticipation flashed in the depths of his eyes, Qiu Xiyin was a little curious about what Qiu Buyi said to him, and ordered Huizhong to keep an eye on Qiu Buxian's movements.

The weather was getting hotter, but Qiu Buxian's cough was getting more and more serious, and about half a month later, the news of Qiu Buxian's coughing up blood spread throughout Qiu's mansion.

When Qiu Xiyin got the news and rushed over, Qiu Buyan's yard had been sealed, and Xie was standing under a cherry tree outside the courtyard with a few grandmothers and maids.

It is when the cherries are ripe, the green leaves are dotted with bright red, and the early morning wind may blow, and the cherries and branches and leaves are in unison, beautiful and peaceful.

Qiu Xiyin stepped forward and saluted and asked, "Mother, fourth sister, is it true?" ”

Xie Shi's gaze fell on the black hair in front of her forehead, and he said for a while, "Pei Fangji said that there are seven images."

Qiu Xiyin was silent and said, "Mother, I want to go in and have a look."

"You went useless".

It's useless to go, so you, as a mother, can wait outside the yard with peace of mind?

Qiu Xiyin bit his lip and made an unwilling appearance, but did not say anything more.

After a while, Old Lady Qiu, Old Lady Hua and Qiu Baozhu also rushed over, and the Xie family only used the same words to send them, but fortunately, they were also easy to dismiss, and no one offered to go in and take a look.

Time passed little by little, Mrs. Qiu and Mrs. Hua were old, and they were a little untenable, it stands to reason that Xie should be polite, ask Mrs. Qiu and Mrs. Hua to go back and wait for the news, but she seems to have forgotten about it at all, staring at the cherries falling sporadically at her feet in a daze, Mrs. Qiu and Mrs. Hua had to stay up with them.

Qiu Baozhu still said a few small words to Qiu Xiyin from time to time at the beginning, and after a long time, she became anxious, but Xie Shi was here, and she didn't dare to move more and say more.

In the unbearable silence, the sound of footsteps from far and near like a horn of retreat aroused the hope that the soldiers who had been seriously wounded in the bitter battle would be saved and returned home, and everyone's eyes looked over, including Xie Shi.

A group of seven or eight people in the distance approached quickly, led by Ning Shenzhi who was wearing a bamboo blue straight jacket, behind him was a short and capable Chuanming, and two middle-aged men in imperial doctor clothes.

Old Lady Qiu hurriedly led everyone forward to salute, Ning Shenzhi returned the salute, ordered Chuanming to take the two imperial doctors in, and said, "The fourth girl Qiu is auspicious, she will be fine, Old Lady Qiu and Second Lady Qiu can rest assured."

Old Lady Qiu nodded again and again, "Passing on the doctor's medical skills, my old woman has long been like thunder, and the county king has bothered."

Ning Shenzhi leaned over and waved his hand, "The old lady is serious, it's hot, a few ladies and girls, please go back to the house to rest first, I'll wait here, and if there is news, I will immediately send someone to tell you."

Old Lady Qiu said busily, "How can you tell the county king to wait here by himself, three girls, you accompany the county king to sit in the pavilion in front, and everyone else will go back to the house, but it will delay the doctors to see the disease here."

She was old, and she couldn't stand it anymore after standing all morning, so she couldn't take care of being polite, and left a competent grandmother to serve her, so she helped the maid away.

Mrs. Qiu is gone, and Mrs. Hua also takes Qiu Baozhu to leave.

Xie Shi glanced at Ning Shen and walked towards the courtyard, Mama Xie exclaimed, "Madam, the master said that Madame is not allowed to enter!" ”

Xie ignored it, Qiu Xiyin raised his feet to chase, "Mother, I also want to see the fourth sister!" ”

"Wait outside".

Qiu Xiyin caught up a few steps, but was blocked by the doorkeeper, she didn't dwell on it anymore, and after watching Xie Shi's figure disappear into the house, she turned around and blessed Ning Shenzhi, "The king of the county, please."

Qiu Xiyin took Ning Shenzhi to the pavilion not far away, ordered someone to serve refreshments, picked up the teacup and took a sip, and said, "Or will I accompany the king of the county for two games?" ”

This is the first time the two have been alone, Ning Shenzhi was a little nervous, nodded crampedly, and also took a cup of tea, obviously, he wanted to say something, but he didn't know how to speak for a while.

Qiu Xiyin drank a cup of tea, put down the cup, and Ning Shenzhi finally spoke, "Third Miss Qiu, no matter whether Fourth Miss Qiu is tuberculosis or not, don't enter her yard for the time being."

Qiu Xiyin hummed simply, Ning Shenzhi obviously wanted to say more, but it was even more difficult to speak, at this time, the chess was delivered, and the two started to play chess.

Before the game was over, Yunhe stepped forward and said, "The king of the county, the doctor has come out, please speak to the king of the county."

Ning Shenzhi confessed, walked out of the pavilion, and soon came back quickly and waved his hand at Qiu Xiyin, "Qiu San Girl".

Qiu Xiyin looked up at him from the chessboard, Ning Shenzhi coughed in embarrassment, and said, "It is rumored that Qiu Si Girl used a medicine to make her pulse look similar to tuberculosis, and she was out of breath and coughed with blood."

Qiu Xiyin almost immediately understood Qiu Buyan's intentions, it seems that a series of changes and blows in this life have made Qiu Buyan finally smarter, knowing that Xiao Yin will not only not be a good husband, but also very likely to be a husband who cannot bring her wealth and glory.

In his previous life, although Qiu Buxuan was said to be the queen, before Ning Shenzhi's death, let alone in front of her, even in front of the wives of those important ministers and generals, he did not dare to be presumptuous, for fear of making enemies for Xiao Yin, making Xiao Yin's already precarious throne even more unstable.

As for Ning Shenzhi's death, at least Su Guifei and Xiao Yin will not let her be powerful, if there is no Qiu Zhengshen, with Xiao Yin's indifference to her, it is not certain that she will be able to keep her queen position.

"I don't know what the third girl thinks?"

Qiu Xiyin looked at him inexplicably, Ning Shenzhi's ears were slightly hot, and he coughed, "Qiu Fourth Girl's actions must have a reason for this, I wonder if the third girl wants to fulfill the fourth girl's thoughts?" ”

"What do I think? What if you don't want to? ”

Ning Shenzhi coughed again, "If the girl wants to, I will tell the name not to be quiet, if the girl doesn't want to, I will order the name to be broken, and the medicine used by the fourth girl is very rare, except for him, there should be no other doctor in the capital who can see through it."

"She's the crown princess!"

Qiu Xiyin's voice was slightly raised due to excitement, and Ning Shenzhi's lowered gaze fell on her face, although she was still that expressionless and cold appearance, the softness in her eyes was clear at first sight, "The crown princess can be changed, but your sister-in-law is the only one."

His gaze was not scorching, but Qiu Xiyin only felt that the place where his gaze could reach was hot, and even his throat seemed to be smoking, she stood up and dropped a sentence, "I don't understand your family and country affairs, I'd rather I didn't hear anything!" "Deserted and fled.

Ning Shenzhi greedily stared at her back until she was completely submerged in the flower and wood Fusu, Fang muttered, "I'd rather not hear anything, that's fulfillment-"

……

……

Soon after Ning Shenzhi returned, the eldest princess Ronghe sent Mama Gong to pick up Qiu Xiyin to live in the palace of Ningjun for a few days, but Qiu Xiyin politely refused.

The next day, the news that Qiu Buwei had tuberculosis spread all over the streets and alleys of the capital, but in the end it was just a rumor in private, and he didn't dare to touch the moldy head, and ran to Qiu's mansion to confirm it openly.

On the third day, Qiu Zhengshen asked the court to retire Xiao Yin and Qiu Buyan's family affairs, and before the words fell, Xiao Chengzong couldn't wait to speak, "Quasi-play!" ”

The officials were all riveted, and after writing the recital, they were waiting to impeach Qiu Zhengshen for occupying the position of the crown princess with a sick and weak daughter, but they didn't expect to be grabbed by Qiu Zhengshen, not to mention it, Xiao Chengzong was so happy to play!

Although it is absolutely impossible for Qiu Bu to marry the crown prince again because of tuberculosis, but the emperor, you are also a little reserved!

Do you think that the mouth and the pen of the people in the world are vegetarians? Such a blatant can't wait to abandon the seriously ill daughter-in-law who has not passed the door, is it because the saliva of the world can't drown you and the prince?

The officials immediately turned their guns and pleaded with Hyo Chengzong to take back his order.

Xiao Chengzong was impatient, "I have long wanted to regret this family business!" I just didn't think about it for a while! How can that slut's son be worthy of marrying his sister's daughter? The brother-in-law who did it at the beginning? Even if the senior sister's daughter dies of illness, it will be humiliating to marry the tablet!

That's it! If my sister's daughter can't be cured, forget it, if she is cured, I will give her another good family affair! ”

The ministers subconsciously looked at the top of the imperial ladder, and reacted again, since the incident of Concubine Su, although King Zeningjun pleaded, Xiao Chengzong did not condemn the prince, but he did not want to see the prince again, and naturally he would not allow the prince to listen to the government again, poking in front of his eyes!

After Qiu Buwei and the ceremony, some courtiers asked for the prince's wedding, Xiaocheng ignored it, and Queen Li even opened her mouth, saying that Qiu Buwei was still young, and it was not good for her to be separated from her family early!

The ministers thought about the dead Su Guifei, the Su family who wiped out the three clans, and Xiao Yin, who was to blame at every turn, the more and more favored Deng Guifei, the second prince and the third princess, the more and more powerful Empress Li, and the filial piety Chengzong who acted willfully and never concealed his disgust with the prince, all of them were silent.

The already precarious prince has lost the Yue family like Qiu Shangshu again, and the brother-in-law like King Ningjun is disgusted by Xiao Chengzong, except for King Ningjun, I am afraid that no one will be able to keep the prince's position......
