Behind him, Jun Chen's impatient voice sounded, he just wanted to laugh at Qi Chang's mother-in-law like a woman, but suddenly she was a girl herself.

For a while, he couldn't say the words of the attack, and he almost suffocated himself to death.

Qi Changrong bit a sugar gourd and put it in his mouth, and said without returning: "It's almost, but there is still a place I haven't got." ”

The last place?

Jun Chen didn't quite understand, and always felt a little strange in his heart.

She did this like a dying person who knew that there was not much time left, so he couldn't wait to finish something.

The two were silent, and when Qi Changrong finished eating the last sugar gourd, they also walked to the last place she called - Wuxiangzikou, the most famous slum place in Beijing.

As soon as I walked in, several children who were originally playing role-playing immediately surrounded me.

Qi Changrong touched their heads and said with a smile: "Go and call out your little friends, everyone has a share in today's sugar gourd." ”

"Wow, thank you, brother!"

"I love sugar gourds the most."

After hearing her words, in an instant, the children jumped in place with joy, and then broke into the deep alley, calling for friends.

In the past, although Qi Changrong often came to this civilian land, the sugar gourds she brought were limited, and she usually gave them to which child she met first, and there was never a situation where everyone had a share.

Now that they hear that they can get it, the children are naturally happy.

In a short time, the entrance of the alley was blocked by a crowd of children.

Qi Changrong was surrounded by Junchen in the middle, and dozens of small radish heads hugged him.

Their mouths are sweeter than sugar gourds.

"Hello brother."

"Huh."

Qi Changrong responded with a smile, then took out a string of sugar gourds and handed them over, and attached a flower cake.

The other children did the same when they saw it, and for a while, the word 'brother' echoed throughout the alley.

Qi Changrong's smile has never been so bright, or although she was laughing in the past, she was laughing and calculating everyone.

Only at this moment, you have no other meaning for her smile.

There was an older child who carried a flower handle in one hand and a sugar gourd in the other, and when the children were almost scattered, he asked the doubts hidden in his heart:

"Didn't my brother say before that opportunities are hard to come by, and only those who meet you first can get sugar gourds?"

The child's voice was clean, not like an adult's tentative mouth, he was just genuinely curious, and then asked the question he wanted to know.

Looking at the half-grown child in front of him, Qi Changrong smiled and gave him the last remaining flower cake: "Maybe for a long time in the future, my brother won't be able to come again, so I will send you the things that should be given to you in advance, so as not to worry about it in the future." ”

Yes, for the children of Wuxiangzikou, they are indeed very worried about coming to their big brother with sugar gourds from time to time.

This is a poor place, where families live in poverty, and some of them even have difficulty surviving, so how can they use the surplus money to buy sugar gourds for their children.

Therefore, Qi Changrong has become their only hope.

The childish boy racked his brains and thought about it, but he still didn't think clearly, so he tilted his head and asked, "How long did my brother say for a long time?" ”

Qi Changrong was silent.

After a while, she said: "Maybe next year's spring, maybe a few years later, or maybe you need to grow up from an immature age, I don't know." ”

In Junchen's eyes, Qi Changrong has always had all the city government organs in mind, as if there is nothing she doesn't know.

But now, even she herself can't give an accurate answer.

He felt right before, she was really like a late twilight, in order to leave no regrets, she did everything she wanted to do in advance.

Coming out of the mouth of the fifth alley, Jun Chen had already lost his big bags and small bags, and all those things were scattered by Qi Changrong, and they were not left.

The two walked side by side for a long time, and countless doubts gathered in the bottom of their hearts, until the streets were quiet and even the downtown was not too noisy, Junchen asked:

"Why did Your Highness seem to explain the aftermath?"

"Tell me about the aftermath?" Qi Changrong shook his head with a smile: "The general misunderstood, it's just that too many people have been staring at the East Palace recently, and it is very inconvenient to travel, so I want to minimize the number of times I go out of the palace." ”

In this way, there is not much risk.

When passing by the rouge stall, Qi Changrong's footsteps became slower and slower, and finally he simply came directly to the front of the stall, and he was in a good mood to pick up.

Seeing this, the corners of Junchen's mouth twitched, and he stood behind him and coughed and reminded: "Brother Ju'an, this is the rouge gouache used by the girls, you can't use it." ”

Besides, it was hard for him to imagine the dignified prince of the East Palace wearing back into women's clothes and using rouge.

Qi Changrong still went his own way, quickly picked out a bunch of things, and said slowly: "Although I can't use it, there are still many sisters in the family, and I can take it back as a small gift, so as to make the beauty smile." ”

The things selected are the most exquisite on the stall, and the vendor laughs: "These gadgets are the most pleasing to the girl's family, and the little boy has an excellent eye." ”

Seeing these two singing and harmonizing, one must be bought, and the other must be sold.

The corners of Jun Chen's mouth twitched, he stood aside with his hands on his chest, and asked for a long time: "Do you have money?" ”

Qi Changrong blinked, deliberately softened his voice, and said in a low voice: "Brother, can't you send me?" ”

The sudden coquettishness, a soft brother, unprepared, listened to Junchen's heart numb.

He rarely saw her show weakness, and most of the time she looked like she was high and did not allow anyone to blaspheme.

was obviously moved, but Junchen was still unmoved, and glanced at her lazily: "This is what you gave to your sisters, why do you want me to pay for it?" ”

Spending other people's money was spending, Qi Changrong didn't blush at all, and replied with a smile: "Maybe you want to borrow flowers to offer Buddha?" ”

"You're addicted to this kind of thing."

The last time she took two jeweled hairpins from her Junfu treasury, she gave them to the thirteenth princess and her cousin.

This time, I wanted to fool him into buying rouge gouache, and I don't know which girl was cheaper at that time.

That being said, after the stall owner packed and handed over the selected things, it was Junchen who paid the money.

Walking on the road, Jun Chen's eyes frequently fell on the things that Qi Changrong mentioned: "If someone finds out that your dignified prince of the East Palace is buying these girl's household gadgets, will it arouse suspicion?" ”

"Suspect what?" Qi Changrong asked knowingly: "Do you suspect that I am a daughter, or do you suspect that I have a man disguised as a woman?" ”

Junchen: "......"

I'm afraid it's both.

If this matter spreads, you can imagine how ugly the expressions of those old ministers in the court will be.

On Sangong Street, which was closest to the palace, Qi Changrong paused, turned his back to Junchen, fell into the shadow of the street corner, and slowly spoke: "It's almost time to arrive at the palace, the general should go back, no need to send it again." ”

Jun Chen stood behind him, quietly looked at her back, and asked more, "Why didn't Your Highness turn around?" ”

"I confessed to the general yesterday, but the general didn't give me a response."

"So?"

Qi Changrong's smiling voice came: "So I was hit hard, and I don't really want to see the general's face now." ”

“……”

This is very unconvincing, I have been shopping with him for a whole day, and now I say that I don't want to see his face.

It's just talking nonsense with open eyes, a bunch of nonsense.

However, he didn't tear her down, turned around and left.

As she said, Sam Gong Street is very close to the palace, and you can see the main entrance of the palace almost after turning the corner in front of you, and there will be no more danger.

In that case, his task was accomplished.

Hearing the footsteps behind him, the curvature of Qi Changrong's mouth slowly became bitter.

How to say it, she finally understood why there are always people who say that men who don't understand amorous things are like wood, the most annoying to people.

She didn't turn around because she was afraid of soft-heartedness.

What awaits in front of her is a sea of swords and fire, and she can't be soft-hearted, whether it's for outsiders or for herself.

If you are soft-hearted and hesitate to act, then you will really die.

Thinking of this, Qi Changrong abandoned all distractions and strode towards the direction of the palace.

Hearing that the prince was in poor health, the reward like flowing water walked around the East Palace, and the ministers of the court and the central government also rushed to send gifts and medicinal materials to send condolences, for fear that they would be one step behind.

When Qi Changrong returned to the East Palace, all kinds of things filled the main hall.

When she learned where these things came from, she smiled lightly and said calmly as if mocking: "The officials of the DPRK and China are really rich. ”

After hearing the movement, the 'Qi Changrong' who was sick in the inner hall, that is, the disguised Shi Xia, walked out slowly, and then knelt on the cold floor.

"Well done." Qi Changrong glanced at her, knowing what she was worried about, and said, "I have sent her away, and her current situation is not suitable for staying in the palace." ”

Indeed, if a concubine in the East Palace is seen with a big belly, no one can save her.

Shi Xia knelt on the ground and asked cautiously, "Isn't Your Highness angry?" ”

"Angry." Qi Changrong opened his mouth and gave a waiter Xia an incomprehensible explanation: "But she can also be regarded as a lonely, and the merits and demerits are offset." ”

It's true that there has been, but where does the merit come from?

Although the words had no beginning or end, Shi Xia couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief.

She could hear that His Royal Highness really didn't care about this matter, no matter what happened to the child in the man's womb, at least Shi Chun's life would not be in danger again.

That's the best outcome.

Qi Changrong's sleeve robe flicked lightly, looked around the main hall that seemed to have nowhere to put his feet, bowed his head slightly, and said to Shi Xia: "Go back, I'll be very busy these days, don't bother if you have nothing to do." ”

Even though the news is closed these days, Qi Changrong has never deliberately hidden anything, after listening to her words, Shi Xia's heart sank slightly, thinking of what might happen next, he only felt a chill in his heart.

The crown prince intends to completely open up the old matter, force the emperor to retry the case of Junmen, and fight with the emperor's holy will.

Shi Xia was very worried, even if His Royal Highness was the crown prince, it didn't mean that he would be able to disobey the emperor.
