After returning to Beijing, he drank frequently and went to the roof more and more often.

If this continues, it is estimated that it will not be long before the entire people in Beijing will know that the dignified general and the current head of the Jun family have a hobby of drinking and playing drunk.

"My cousin wants to marry Qi Changrong."

This is the first time Junchen has called Qi Changrong's name, in the past, she was either a prince or a highness.

Suddenly evoked the name, and even the distance between the two seemed to be shortened a lot.

Zhou Shiren paused slightly, instantly grasped the point, and said intuitively: "Why do you care so much about the prince recently?" ”

His cousin, the only daughter of Prime Minister Zhao Cheng, Zhou Shiren knows a little.

But Junchen is not a warm-hearted person, as long as it does not involve the life and death of the Zhao family, he will never meddle in things.

"The Jun family still has to rely on her to turn over, I don't care who she cares about?" Jun Chen came as soon as he opened his mouth, and even he himself was about to be persuaded by this reason.

"Isn't it good for your cousin to marry the crown prince? In this way, the Zhao family and the royal family are in-laws, and as the Yue family of the East Palace, the emperor will never trouble the Zhao family again. Zhou Shiren sighed, carelessly.

"What's good about Qi Changrong? The mind is full of evil and black water, and he takes people's lives without blinking an eye when talking and laughing, and calculating people is as simple as eating and drinking, and in his eyes, human life is like a mustard...... There are also two flower-like concubines around him, if the cousin really marries into the East Palace, it will be really miserable! ”

Jun Chen listed all Qi Changrong's shortcomings in one go, and the disgust in his words became stronger and stronger, and he couldn't wait to make her worthless.

"Your cousin is very smart, if she becomes the crown princess, only she will bully others, and no one else will calculate her share."

"What if Qi Changrong has the heart to favor those two concubines? It's not that you don't know, he dared to take his concubine to the battlefield, what else wouldn't dare. ”

"The prince is full of poetry and books, and the most important rules will not occur in the situation you imagined."

Spoiling a concubine and killing a wife? Inexistent!

"Qi Changrong is scheming, what should I do if I calculate my cousin?"

"The prince is a smart man, and there is Prime Minister Zhao Cheng to support your cousin."

"Qi Changrong is weak and often seriously ill, and he doesn't look like a long-lived person at first glance, what should my cousin do if he is widowed in the future?"

“…… There are many rare medicinal materials in the palace, and there are medical saints, as long as there are no natural disasters and man-made disasters, it is not a problem for the prince to live for a few more decades. ”

Junchen was unrelenting: "You also said that there are natural and man-made disasters, Qi Changrong is so annoying, there must be many enemies in the open and in the dark, and many people want her to die without a place to bury." ”

Zhou Shiren finally understood something.

Someone doesn't want the dust to settle on this marriage.

If it weren't for the fact that he didn't like Zhao Yueqiu, Zhou Shiren would definitely think that he wanted to rob the prince of women.

Since the problem is not with Zhao Yueqiu, it is that he is prejudiced against the East Palace, and it seems that the prejudice is quite deep.

Zhou Shiren said calmly: "General, tell me the truth, do you not want Zhao Yueqiu to marry, or do you not want the prince to marry?" ”

"What's the difference?"

"There's a big difference."

Zhou Shiren almost asked Junchen directly if he cared more about Zhao Yueqiu or Qi Changrong.

The answer goes to the crux of the problem.

Only by figuring out what Junchen is thinking can he prescribe the right medicine.

Working under the hands of the prince, you can't let Junchen always be prejudiced.

Jun Chen was silent, and even the liquor he drank in his mouth had no taste.

Junchen couldn't answer.

However, Zhou Shiren pressed step by step, and he had to let him say why. He had never thought about this problem, he just thought that it was not good for his cousin to marry into the East Palace, and now he thought that it was not good for his cousin to marry Qi Changrong.

He seems to be just unwilling to let Qi Changrong marry.

But why?

According to his heart, Qi Changrong is indeed one of the outstanding men in the world, and he is the husband that most unmarried girls in Beijing dream of, not only representing status and status, but also real power.

The cousin is beautiful and fragrant, and she has a blue heart, and she is a golden boy and a girl in the eyes of anyone.

But he just didn't think he deserved it.

And when they stood together, it was in the way of his eyes.

Seeing that Junchen was silent, Zhou Shiren finally came back to his senses, his lips moved a few times, a trace of surprise crossed his eyes, and then he returned to calm, and said entangledly: "Your concern for the East Palace is beyond my imagination. ”

Seeing through his thoughts, Junchen did not deny it, and said irritably: "If he wants to do something big, how can he mistake his children's personal feelings?" People like him shouldn't have any weaknesses. ”

Once a person has a weakness, he will become unable to move an inch.

This explanation is really Junchen.

The corners of Zhou Shiren's mouth twitched, but he was relieved.

Fortunately, it has nothing to do with the wind and snow.

"Admit it, you look at the Middle Palace from your heart, otherwise the reaction would not be so big." Zhou Shiren said truthfully: "But the prince is the prince, and he will definitely marry a wife in the future, even if he doesn't marry your cousin, there will be other girls." ”

Jun Chen glanced at him and drank all the wine in the jug: "That's for later." ”

Zhou Shiren shrugged his shoulders, okay, since people want to deceive themselves, what is he doing?

Anyway, after knowing Junchen for so many years, can he still not know how awkward this person is?

It's always up to him to decide on something, even if you say it, don't want to touch him.

Zhou Shiren had already recognized it.

It's the monthly 'family leave' again, and unlike in the past, when Qi Changrong stepped into Xingqing Palace, he saw a person who was absolutely invisible in the past.

Emperor Jin An.

The emperor has not set foot in Xingqing Palace for nearly three years.

Time is not long, but it is not short, in terms of the harem with extremely fast changes, three years is enough time to drag a beautiful concubine into an old man in the twilight of several days.

Fortunately, Concubine Qin has children to accompany her, and she has long lost her children's personal feelings in her heart, and she has a child who is the crown prince, so her life is not too sad.

Xingqing Palace does not need an emperor.

This is the accepted idea of the mother and daughter.

Qi Changrong walked to the door, saw Qi Ziruo hiding in the small flower bed with a depressed face, pulled weeds, raised his eyebrows and said, "What are you doing here?" ”

Qi Ziruo immediately threw the weeds on his hands to the mound, twisted his fingers stained with dirt behind his back, and explained pretending to have nothing to do: "My father is here, and I am discussing business with my mother in the palace, so I can't go in and disturb." ”

Qi Changrong raised his eyebrows and asked, "What is there to talk about between them?" ”

Qi Ziruo shook his head innocently.

The relationship between the two is colder than ice, and the only connection between them is him, the prince.

Qi Chang looked at it, turned around and approached the main hall.

Seeing her passing, Qi Ziruo was anxious, and hurriedly lowered his voice behind him: "Brother Prince, my father said that no one is allowed to go in and disturb him." ”

As soon as the words ended, someone had already arrived at the door.

Qi Ziruo was so anxious that he stomped his feet in the back, and he didn't dare to remind him again, so he cautiously glanced around, for fear of alarming the people inside, thus causing the prince's brother to be punished.

Fortunately, the palace people who were waiting next to them all lowered their heads and pretended to be deaf and dumb.

To survive in the deep palace, the only rule of longevity is to see less, listen less, and do more.

Qi Changrong stood in the shadow of the afterglow, not only not letting the people inside discover her existence, but also vaguely hearing the conversation between the two inside.

"Recently, the prince has behaved abnormally, often leaving the palace without saying anything, and will protect Thirteen openly and secretly, did you tell her anything?"

"The concubine doesn't know what His Majesty said, the concubine has been ordered to stay in Xingqing Palace all these years, trying not to meet the prince, how can she have the opportunity to chew the root of her tongue."

"In the future, let the thirteen stay away from the prince, the prince of Dajin doesn't need to be weak!"

Emperor Jin An's voice was low, and his anger was very obvious.

Obviously, Concubine Qin's words angered him.

"I told you a long time ago that the prince is different from ordinary people, she is destined to embark on an extremely difficult road of loneliness and widowhood, you must not have any personal feelings, you must not distract her heart."

"As for Thirteen, since I put her by your side to raise her, I naturally had a plan, and I don't need the prince to bother."

"Stay in Xingqing Palace, no one can hurt people in Xingqing Palace."

Qi Changrong couldn't hear the next words clearly, and the conversation between the two became quieter and quieter, so that in the end, she fell into silence, she paused, turned around and left from the door without hesitation, and when she walked to the front of the palace gate, Qi Ziruo stopped her.

"Father and Emperor are about to leave in a while, won't the prince's brother stay and wait?"

Qi Changrong smiled lightly: "No need, Lone still has important things to do, you don't have to tell your father that Lone has been here." ”

As soon as the words fell, she raised her feet and left, leaving Qi Ziruo standing alone in a daze, bowing her head a little depressed.

Ji Fang was waiting outside, and he only felt strange when he saw Qi Changrong come out, he didn't have time for a stick of incense, how many words could he say?

Qi Changrong didn't mean to explain, but asked as he walked, "What do you think of Prime Minister Zhao?" ”

Ji Fangfu was in his heart: "His Royal Highness is planning to promote Prime Minister Zhao?" ”

The latter does not speak, but acquiesces.

Ji Fang said worriedly: "Prime Minister Zhao Cheng has outstanding ability, and he is supported by many people, but he is a bit stereotyped and does not know how to be flexible, so he will be snubbed by His Majesty so far, if His Highness wants to reactivate him, it may not be easy." ”

The most important thing is that no one knows whether His Royal Highness will anger His Majesty again after His Royal Highness uses Prime Minister Zhao, which will cause His Majesty to be angry with His Highness.

"Compared with Prime Minister Zhao and Mrs. Yang, who is more outstanding?"

Ji Fang was silent, both of them were powerful ministers of the court, he knew that how could a slave judge without permission?

However, his master is the crown prince, and if the master wants him to speak, he must speak.

Ji Fang sorted out his thoughts and hesitated: "Your Highness should know better than a slave in his heart, Taifu is shrewd, everything he does has a purpose, compared with Zhao Chengxiang, his selfishness is heavier." ”

Qi Changrong's footsteps did not stop, and he was not surprised when he heard the words, but thought that what Ji Fang said was very pertinent.

Zhao Li is pedantic and rigid, and Yang Yishu is flexible and changeable.

A Yang Yishu may not be able to do anything, so what about Zhao Li?

Shangjing is still too calm, otherwise how could Emperor Jin An have time to come to Xingqing Palace to ask for guilt?

thought that after this experience, the East Palace would at least avoid suspicion, but Qi Changrong left the palace more and more frequently, and it seemed that he had to count all the deep residences in the past ten years.

In order to facilitate her actions outside the palace, she has an additional name - Ju'an.
