Chapter 363: Masquerade
Front yard study.
Qin Ze accompanied his daughter-in-law to finish dinner in Taozheng Courtyard and went back to the study to deal with affairs as usual.
When he reached the corridor in front of the study, he paused.
In the courtyard in front of the study, a familiar and unfamiliar figure was standing.
His eyes darkened, and he turned to An Shun and said, "Take her into the study." ”
"Aze!"
Lord Xinyu happily stepped into the study, and looked at Qin Ze who was sitting at the back of the bookcase with beautiful eyes, "I ......, thank you for being willing to see me." ”
She waited in the front yard for more than an hour, thinking that she would not see Qin Ze today, and she had already retreated in her heart, but before leaving, she saw Qin Ze appear, which rekindled a glimmer of hope in her heart covered with ashes.
Qin Ze raised his eyes and looked over, but there was no trace of temperature in his eyes, and his thin lips opened lightly: "Didn't you say that you will never set foot in the capital from now on, why did you go back on your word?" ”
The county lord of Xinyu froze suddenly, and the smile on his face froze in embarrassment.
She lowered her eyes, and when she raised her eyes, she smiled aggrievedly and gently: "After so many years, Aze, you still don't forgive your cousin......"
She bowed her head, "It's my cousin who has gone back on her word." It's just," she raised her head again, a look of joy flashed in her eyes, "It's just that my cousin heard that you got married, and when I was happy, I wanted to see you with my own eyes, who I haven't seen for many years, to see if the daughter-in-law who married you is kind and beautiful, cousin, cousin is impulsive, Aze, don't you blame your cousin?" ”
Qin Ze's hard and cold heart loosened a little when he heard her mention it, and he didn't want to look at the pitiful eyes of the county lord of Shangxinyu.
Seeing that Qin Ze was silent, the hope that had ignited in the heart of the county lord Xinyu revived a little, and she hurriedly said: "Really, Aze, my cousin is just too worried about you, so she will act so impulsively." My cousin has no other ideas, as long as I see that you are doing well and happy, my cousin will be satisfied. ”
Qin Ze's thin lips pursed, and he said lightly: "Now that my cousin has seen it, since I am satisfied, I can go back to Xiping." ”
The county lord of Xinyu was stiff again, and the brocade handkerchief in his hand was about to be twisted into a knot: "Cousin knows that Aze doesn't want to see his cousin, but he just came here like this, and my cousin wants to go into the palace to ask the queen mother to say goodbye, and I heard Mama Pang say that her old man has always been talking about me all these years, and my cousin can'......t help it."
Qin Ze took a breath and asked bluntly, "Then how long do you plan to stay in the capital?" ”
"The most, at most half a month," the county lord of Xinyu didn't expect Qin Ze to be pressing step by step, so he had to let go, "Cousin will be harassing in Aze's mansion for half a month at most, thinking about the love since childhood, Aze, you just promise your cousin, right?" ”
"You know," she picked up a silk handkerchief and wiped the corners of her eyes miserably: "Mrs. Chang is not happy to see her cousin, who has nowhere to stay in the capital. It's not good to enter the palace to annoy the queen's mother......"
"Then you will live in the Prince's Mansion for half a month," Qin Ze didn't want the people in front of him to harass the queen mother, so he said coldly, "When the time comes, the palace will send someone to send you out of Beijing." ”
A trace of gloom quickly slid through the eyes of the county lord of Xinyu, and he immediately raised a hearty smile: "Thank you, Aze!" ”
Qin Ze pursed his lips and looked over: "When you live in the Prince's Mansion, remember not to disturb the Crown Princess, this must be remembered." ”
The red lips of the county lord Xinyu moved, and he responded with a smile: "It seems that Aze really cares about the crown princess, and my cousin can save it, and she will definitely not bother the crown princess." ”
After clarifying the matter with the county lord of Xinyu, Qin Ze had no intention of greeting him, and gave an eye to An Shun on the side, asking him to send the county lord of Xinyu out.
After finishing the day's unfinished business, he returned to Taozheng Yuan.
According to the usual habits, Fu Yuanyuan should have fallen asleep long ago after pregnancy, but when he went to the bed today, he saw his daughter-in-law looking at him with big round eyes.
Qin Ze was puzzled: "Manman, why haven't you fallen asleep?" ”
"I'm waiting for you."
Fu Yuanyuan said bluntly, "Lord Xinyu went to talk to you?" ”
Qin Ze bowed: "Yes, she has to live in the mansion for half a month." ”
Fu Yuanyuan raised his eyebrows, and said curiously: "Aze, who is the county lord of Xinyu, since it is your cousin, why don't you go to Changfu to live?" ”
Qin Ze familiarly took Fu Yuanyuan into his arms, let her head rest on his arm, and reached out and tapped her nose.
If it weren't for his daughter-in-law's curiosity, he really didn't want to mention the county lord Xinyu.
However, since the daughter-in-law wanted to know, he naturally wouldn't hide it: "The mother and queen mother of the county lord of Xinyu grew up together since childhood, and the relationship between the two is very good. ”
He narrowed his eyes: "My cousin had a difficult birth when she gave birth to Lord Xinyu, and Lord Xinyu's father also passed away when she was five years old. The queen mother took the county lord Xinyu into the palace and raised her under her knees. ”
Fu Yuanyuan listened attentively, and secretly thought in his heart that it was no wonder that the county lord Xinyu did not treat himself as an outsider like that, according to the relationship between relatives and aliens, it was indeed the case.
"It's just," Qin Ze didn't forget Fu Yuanyuan's question, and explained, "I don't know why the relationship between the county lord of Xinyu and his grandmother is not harmonious, and he used to go to Changfu to ask for peace, but he often avoided it, and didn't talk to his grandmother much. ”
"That's why she won't go to Changfu to live."
In fact, even if she passed, I am afraid that my grandmother would not see her much.
Qin Ze didn't say anything about this, which can be regarded as saving face for the county lord of Xinyu.
Fu Yuanyuan listened to it and asked thoughtfully, "Is she coming here this time to save her relatives?" How do I need to arrange to host her? ”
"No need at all," Qin Ze responded directly, "Manman, I told her not to bother you during this time, and you can treat it as if there is no such person in the family." ”
Fu Yuanyuan blinked, and his crystal eyes locked on Qin Ze: "Aze......"
"Okay," Qin Ze didn't want to mention the county lord of Xinyu again, and stretched out his index finger against Fu Yuanyuan's mouth, "Don't waste time on irrelevant people." Manful, haven't you told your husband whether the baby in your belly is good today? Did it kick you? Also, how did you eat lunch? Is there anything you'd like to eat? ”
Qin Ze's series of words interrupted Fu Yuanyuan's thoughts, and she couldn't help but sneer: "Aze, the baby in my belly is only two months old, how can I be kicked?" ”
"It's good if you can't kick it," Qin Ze held his daughter-in-law in his arms and gently touched her abdomen with his big hand, "If this stinky boy dares to kick you, when he comes out, his husband will definitely clean him up." ”
"Hey, don't," Fu Yuanyuan hurriedly pulled Qin Ze's hand away, gently stroked his stomach and said, "Little baby, don't listen to your father's nonsense, if he dares to bully you, my mother will call the shots for you." ”
After speaking, she raised her hand and pinched Qin Ze's face, pouted and said, "Don't scare the little doll in your belly, otherwise I will be angry!" ”
Qin Ze hurriedly raised his two hands: "Obey, madam." ”
