The second son was already in tears, knelt on Xiao Qian's knees, and cried bitterly: "The son is not filial! Father, beat your sons! ”

Xiao Qian picked up the second son and sighed: "What stupid thing are you talking about, why are you beating you alone?" You are the most obedient of the lonely sons, so obedient, if you are still beaten, then your brothers will have been beaten to death by the lonely. ”

The father and son reconciled and knelt face to face at both ends of the long case.

Xiao Qian poured a cup of tea for the second son: "You eat." This is the method that Lone learned from your tenth sister. She has a bad mouth, she doesn't like to eat tea made from tea cakes, so she has to take tea leaves to brew. However, after eating it once, I think it's pretty good. ”

The second son took a sip of tea from Shanruliu, praised politely, and brought the topic back: "Father, the son has a reluctant request. ”

Xiao Qian put down the teacup, gave way to the palm of his hand, and looked at the second son expectantly: "You say, you say." ”

"Father, my son doesn't want to marry a wife yet."

"Why don't you want to get married?"

Xiao Qian sighed, and pointed a finger at the silk cloth in the second son's hand: "It's the girl from the family above, you don't fancy it?" Or are you like your third brother, you have a favorite person in your heart, and you don't want to marry a lady? ”

The second son grinned, obviously knowing what the third son was making trouble in the past few days.

With this smile, the second son looked a little honest.

Xiao Qian also smiled: "Your third brother has a good relationship with you, there is a sweetheart, and Mrs. Gu and Mrs. Allure don't know, he will go to tell you first." ”

The second son's expression was grim, and the smile on his face was put away.

Xiao Qian's smile did not decrease: "It is a good thing that brothers get along well." If you have time, you can also persuade the third child and let him make amends with his mother. In the past few days, Huaqing Palace has to ask for a doctor every day, and he, who is a son, will not ask. ”

The second son bowed his head and promised.

Xiao Qian asked him at this time: "If you haven't returned to Gu just now, why don't you want to marry a wife?" ”

The second son's lips opened, gritted his teeth, and then he made up his mind, and his face actually revealed a bit of a look of death: "Father, the son and the third brother are just the opposite." It is precisely because the sons and daughters have no sweethearts that they don't want to marry a wife. ”

Xiao Qian understood, to put it mildly, the second and third children are actually the same, both for the word "love".

One is because he has a sweetheart, so he has to marry him alive or dead. One is because he has no sweetheart, so he refuses to marry him.

These two brothers are really in love.

Xiao Qian lightly tapped on the table and said "oh": "I see." That's fine. Who you want to marry, it doesn't matter. What the lonely party said to you was for your own good. Second, if you have a sweetheart, you must tell Lone first, and Lone will help you palm your eyes. ”

The second son was full of excitement, knelt down and kowtowed a few times to Xiao Qian.

The father and son spoke again, and the second son walked out of the study door with great ambition.

Xiao Qian looked at the two closed doors and was silent, and clapped his hands gently.

The third prince was about to turn out from behind the screen, when he suddenly heard a noise behind him, and when he looked back, the wall behind him slowly moved to the right, revealing a door.

A person dressed as an attendant walked out of it, bowed to the third prince with a smile, and then walked out of the screen and knelt in front of Xiao Qian.

"Let people stare at the second son, the child is older, and he has more thoughts."

The man answered, and went back to the secret door.

There was a click, and the wall slowly closed again.

"Third child, what are you still hiding behind the screen? Come out. ”

The third prince didn't know how to describe his current mood, and even walked around the screen with his hands and feet, and almost fell.

Xiao Qian laughed out loud: "Look at your useless appearance!" Sit down and talk about things. ”

The third prince hurriedly knelt down and sat down in a proper manner, and his eyes couldn't stop looking behind the screen.

"Look at what! Haven't seen a secret door? Go to Huaqing Palace and take a look. There's a little dark room in your mother's palace, and there are a lot of treasures hidden there. ”

The third son's eyes almost flew out: "There is also a secret door in the mother's palace?" ”

Xiao Gan saw that his son had never seen the world, so he thought of teasing him: "Not only is it in your mother's palace, but also in your Ji Ning Ju, go back and find it." The third child, you are also a son, why are you so ignorant? Ah Hao saw this secret door when he was five years old, and he was not so surprised by you. ”

The third prince hadn't recovered from the shock yet, he scratched his head embarrassedly, and the honesty on his face looked even more silly than the second son: "My son has less ...... to study."

"You also know that you don't read much, did you listen to the words that Gu Fang just said to your second brother? In a few days, you go hunting in the autumn, you go to hunt a fox to send your mother to coax her, and she likes these things. ”

The third prince agreed, but when he remembered the person who came in and out of the secret door, he still felt a little pimple in his heart.

"Father," he boldly asked Xiao Qian, "why do you want people to keep an eye on the second brother?" The second brother is very good......"

"Lone didn't say he was bad." Xiao Qian knocked on the case and attracted the attention of the third son, "Didn't you just listen to what Gu said to your second brother?" As for your sons, you have the courage to say now who has the best chance of succeeding to the throne in the future. ”

No matter how big the third son's nerves are, he also knows that this kind of thing should not be said nonsense, so he was about to kneel, but was stopped by Xiao Gan: "Don't kneel in a hurry, you can talk first." Don't be afraid, Lone is not a beast, can it still eat you? ”

The third prince was a little settled, opened his mouth, and was about to say, but Xiao Qian interrupted him again: "You can talk about it after you think about it." It's not good, you and Chu Qi are no longer fun here. ”

The third son's face was bluffed.

"Third child, your uncle is still waiting outside. If you don't say it well, you will tell your uncle directly after a while, and let you marry the daughter of the Yu family. ”

This is to drive him to death!

The third son is already sweating.

He has wanted to ascend to the throne of the monarch since he was a child, and after thinking about it for so many years, if he said that he hadn't thought about it, it would be to open his eyes and tell nonsense.

But if he said it all, would his father think that he had bad intentions? When the time comes, he will be disgusted with him, and he may end up with the same fate as the eldest prince Xiao Jianning.

But it doesn't work if you don't say it, the third prince is in a hurry and sweats all over his body.

"Have you thought about it? When you think about it, say it. I'm going to have to see your tenth sister for a while. ”

"Father's ......"

The third son hesitated for a long time. Stretching out his head and shrinking his head is also a knife, and he let it go.

"Father, the son spoke. Let's start from the back, the seventh brother is not qualified. Sun Zhaoyi was born in a lowly background, and it was not the turn of the seventh brother. The sixth brother can't either. His grandmother was originally from a humble background, and the murder of the heirs of the Xiao family, these two items made it impossible for the sixth brother to ascend the throne. There is also the second brother, Lady Moon Shadow is a Qin girl, no matter how good the second brother is, the son of the Qin girl can't control our Dayan Jiangshan. ”

Xiao Qian let out a "hmm" and was noncommittal about it.

He glanced at the third prince with an expectant face, and smiled: "Then tell me, why is your eldest brother also qualified to inherit the throne of the monarch?" ”
