At sunset, Qi Yunshu returned to Zhao's mansion, and as soon as she jumped out of the carriage, she saw that under the afterglow of the sunset, Zhao Jing was standing under the eaves with his hands behind his back, dressed in a cyan official robe, staring at her intently.

Qi Yunshu pinched the hem of her clothes to meet it.

"You weren't on duty today, and you came back so early?" Don't look at Zhao Jing as a foreigner from the fifth grade, but because the Ministry of Rites is too broad, it is not only the etiquette system of the Great Liang, but also the science, education, culture and diplomacy, so he is busy all day long, and generally speaking, he has not arrived home at this point on weekdays.

Zhao Jing bowed his head: "Lord Ouyang is in a good mood today, let me go back to the house early, by the way, how is the injury of the second prince?" ”

Qi Yunshu's willow eyebrows twisted slightly: "How do you know that I went to the Second Prince's Mansion?" She didn't have time to send someone to inform him.

Zhao Jingxin said that her whereabouts were naturally reported to him, but he didn't want to tell him about it in front of Qi Yunshu, for fear that she would be unhappy, so he pointed to the medicine box on the magpie's back and said:

"The lady went out with a medicine box on her back, so she naturally went to see someone, the second prince was seen by the lady yesterday, and today I think it is a follow-up ......visit," Zhao Jing said, and took a breath: "There is a faint agarwood fragrance on the lady's body, and the government and the opposition are up and down, and only the second prince likes to use the agarwood from Nanzhao." ”

It turned out that he deduced it and didn't send someone to stare at her, Qi Yunshu felt a little calmer, looked at the tiredness in the corner of his eyes and said: "The second prince's injury has improved, what did you just say Lord Ouyang was happy about?" ”

Ouyang Ying is the Shangshu of the Ministry of Rites, he was a well-known genius in the Great Liang Dynasty when he was young, and he loved to read the most, and was once as famous as Mr. Xia and Mr. Yun, and was collectively known as the three talents of Shuntianfu.

For the official integrity, he understands the languages of many countries, and is mainly responsible for the affairs of the Ministry of Rites, especially the translation of foreign affairs.

"Lord Ouyang knows that I am proficient in Beidi's dialect, and has handed over all affairs with Beidi to me!" Although Zhao Jing's words were tired, there was a hint of relief.

Qi Yunshu's eyes flickered to understand.

"In that case, your father will no longer want to use his connections and authority to transfer you to the Ministry of Works!"

"He said a word in front of Lord Ouyang, and Lord Ouyang did not refuse at that time, but after knowing that I was proficient in Beidi dialect, he said that if I go to the Ministry of Industry, it will be useless!"

"Great!" Qi Yunshu's eyes were clear, she was still worried about Zhao Jing, and when she held a banquet in Fushouyuan that day, she could see that Zhao Hongyi was very dissatisfied with Zhao Jing, for fear that he would make small moves behind his back.

I didn't expect him to do it, but it didn't work out.

As the saying goes, the current official is not as good as the current management, even if he is Zhao Jing's biological father, he is also the servant of the official department responsible for the transfer of officials, but he can't be the master of Ouyang Shangshu.

The two walked while talking, and at some point, Zhao Jing's hand held Qi Yunshu's hand, and the two walked towards the direction of Yuqing Courtyard together.

The setting sun was behind, stretching their overlapping and intersecting figures long, and large sycamore leaves gently flowed eastward over their shoulders.

Qi Yunshu saw Zhao Jing's side face full of glow, and suddenly had a feeling that the years were quiet, if the days went on like this, it seemed that it would be good!

It's just that this thought didn't last for a while, and Zhao Jing's defensive voice was heard: "Lady, look ahead!" ”

Qi Yunshu raised her eyes, and Qin Yuru walked towards her with Zhao Yun'er.

Looking at Qin Yuru's face was full of spring breeze, and there were a few crow's feet in the corners of her eyes when she smiled, and she didn't know where she came from, and the good things made her so happy!

Although the two sides didn't deal with each other much, but when they met each other, they still had to say hello, and after seeing the salute, Qi Yunshu and Zhao Jingchao took a step back, meaning to let Qin Yuru go first.

Qin Yuru stopped at the fork in the road and looked at the two of them and said with a smile: "I was telling Qian'er and Yun'er that you are not in the mansion before, and the Li Mansion sent someone to send some rare things, which are very sweet. ”

Saying that the two of them could not refuse, she took the lead in the head.

Ay......

Qi Yunshu's words of refusal came to his lips and swallowed it back like this.

Zhao Jing pinched her palm and signaled to her Qin Yuru This is deliberately blocking them here, just keep up.

Coming to Songtao Courtyard, Qi Yunshu looked at the green courtyard, and couldn't help but sigh secretly that Qin Yuru is really a person who loves flowers and plants, the area where the aloe vera that was previously designed by Qi Yunshu is located has now been planted with other flowers and plants, and it looks like it has just been moved out of the greenhouse, and it can't be seen probably.

Qin Yuru's gaze also fell in front of this circle of newly planted green plants at the same time, and a cold light flashed in her eyes, she hadn't forgotten Qi Yunshu's calculation of her aloe vera, but now was not the time to settle accounts.

She tugged at the corners of her mouth and laughed, leading them into the flower hall.

Zhao Qian was actually sitting, took a piece of melon and stuffed it into his mouth.

Seeing Qin Yuru coming back, he got up and nodded, and was about to sit down, when he saw Zhao Jing and Qi Yunshu following behind, his face changed slightly, it came so fast!

But after all, he is also mixed with officialdom, and after a short faux pas, he immediately puts on a gentle mask, as if the unhappiness that happened before has never happened.

What kind of dumb riddle are these mother and son playing? Countless question marks popped up in Qi Yunshu's mind.

She still liked the measures Qin Yuru had used against her before, either calculating or despising her, she was very unaccustomed to him being abnormal at this time.

Especially even Zhao Gan, a sinister villain, was taken a little abnormally by her.

Qin Yuru beckoned them to sit down, served tea and served fruit.

"How about tasting this melon? I can't eat it in the next place, but today the son of the Li family came to the door to find Qian'er to talk and bring it as a gift.

I heard that this was the Tubo tribute that the queen in the palace received as a reward to the Li family. Qin Yuru looked very rare.

Qi Yunshu saw that Zhao Qian had already started eating before they came in, and he had cut the same melon, so there must be nothing wrong with the things, so he took a bite with confidence.

This melon is a modern cantaloupe, because it is in season, it has a lot of moisture, and the taste is more mellow and sweet.

Not to mention, she hadn't eaten this kind of melon for a long time since she got here, and she really missed it a little when she thought about it.

In the next time, she listened to Qin Yuru while showing off how good the relationship between Zhao Qian and Empress Li's mother's family was, and Li Shangshu, the father of Empress Li, even intended to marry his little granddaughter to him.

"Men should get married, women should get married, that's the case!" Zhao Jingben didn't want to deal with Qin Yuru too much, but seeing that his wife was addicted to eating melons and couldn't extricate himself, he talked to Qin Yuru without a match.

After a while, Zhao Gan said: "Seeing that my sister-in-law seems to like eating this melon very much, the son of the Li family said that if we like it, we will send someone to send it tomorrow!" ”

Qi Yunshu squinted her eyes and tasted the melon, and replied with a smile: "That's right, I like to eat melons!" "I especially like to be a melon eater!

"By the way, what happened to the assassination of His Second Highness this time? The sister-in-law used to be around the city, why did she go out of the city so coincidentally that day, and she just happened to save the second prince, didn't the sister-in-law know when the second prince returned to Beijing? ”

Zhao Qian seemed to be in a hurry, and he didn't even ask for the news without greetings, he remembered that the last time he mentioned in the mansion that the time for the second prince to return to the house was September 1st, and he happened to be overheard by her!

Qi Yunshu listened to what he said, how could she feel that something was wrong with what she said, and she turned her eyes to look at Zhao Jing.

At this time, Zhao Xu sat upright peacefully, without the slightest expression on his face, and she couldn't see what he was thinking.

"What do you mean?" Qi Yunshu raised her head from eating melons.

She likes to eat melons, but it doesn't mean that she likes others to eat her melons.

"It's nothing, I just care about my eldest brother and sister-in-law!" Zhao Gan smiled, as if he and Zhao Jing were really brothers, and reminded seriously: "Haven't you heard that there are rumors in the market that the assassination of the second prince was committed by the third prince who is far away in the northwest frontier?" ”

Qi Yunshu didn't pay attention to this, she didn't know who the three princes were, she only heard that he had been in the army since he was a child, and he had always stayed in the northwest frontier and rarely returned to the capital.

How did this have anything to do with him?

"I've only heard of the assassination at the foot of Qingyun Mountain, and it seems to have something to do with another prince!" Zhao Jing answered without raising his eyebrows.

"That's right, the four princes seem to have a share!" Zhao Gan's news is very well-informed: "The reason why I am worried about the eldest brother is because Brother Li told me that someone in the Imperial History Observatory impeached the eldest brother and got very close to a minister who was close to the fourth prince, eldest brother, we are brothers-in-law, you tell me the truth, have you ever been involved in this matter?" ”

Zhao Gan's face was serious, revealing that I want to help you, don't refuse me.

Zhao Jing snorted lightly, the smile on his face was a little unbearable, and he didn't bother to maintain his previous gentle appearance, and stood up: "Madam and second brother have always been unable to tolerate me, I know, but it is too much to rush me with the rebellion of such an assassin prince like today!"

No matter how you don't admit it, I'm still the eldest son of Zhao Fuyan outside, you and I are related to life and death, rich and poor, why are you in such a hurry? ”

Did he, Zhao Qian, think that if someone ordered him to trap him, he would be exempt from punishment?

It's naïve!

"Zhao Jing, don't talk nonsense, I just care about your big brother, since you don't buy it, I won't say anything superfluous!"

Zhao Gan didn't expect that his mind was keenly seen through by Zhao Jing as soon as he started, and he felt that he couldn't get off the stage, so he couldn't help but be annoyed and angry, and the eldest brother didn't bother to call anymore.

Qi Yunshu saw that the atmosphere was a little tense, and ate a few more melons in a row, before calmly pulling out a handkerchief and wiping the corners of his mouth, then got up with a light smile and said:

"Thank you Madame's melon, it's delicious, as for other things, I believe Zhao Jing, he is the most loyal to the king, and will never do anything to endanger the royal family, and please don't listen to the slander of outsiders and misunderstand your own family!"

She said that she would go back without much trouble.

Qin Yuru saw that Zhao Gan's temptation was completely useless, and she couldn't help but secretly feel sorry for the limited melon.

Tsk, she looked at it carefully just now, one of the husband and wife was responsible for fighting with her baby son, and the other never stopped, and kept eating!

What a dead foodie!

As a result, she lost two melons, and she didn't ask anything in the end, and she offended people, Qin Yuru was a little displeased.

"Qian'er, you know that this matter is so sensitive, why don't you stay in the back part and say, let me ask about the non-return forest first, your father's side is urgent."

"What is there to ask about not returning to the forest, my mother wants to know, I will find someone to inquire about in the Qi family's army!"

"Hey, that's right, but I was confused, and it wasn't just the husband and wife who went at that time. Okay, you can do this thing, you must do it well, let your father see that you are the rightful son of Zhao Hou Mansion! ”

Zhao Qianyin smiled and said that he would, but when he walked out of the courtyard and was worried, the task given to him by the second prince seemed simple, but when used on Zhao Jing and Qi Yunshu, it seemed to be a little too difficult!

Those two are simply a gourd with a sawed mouth, no matter how he sets the news, he doesn't leak his mouth, he is too difficult!
