When the Duke's Mansion heard that Mrs. Qin was sick and had come home that day and night, he mentioned it in passing, saying that he had met someone from the Qin Mansion and went to the Tai Hospital to ask for a doctor.

The brothers were having dinner in their grandmother's house, and the old lady looked at Kaijiang lovingly and asked, "I haven't seen you for a few days, what are you busy with?" ”

Zhu Rong snorted: "What else can he be busy with, except for official business, that is, to go around the eldest princess." ”

Kaijiang was stuffed with a mouthful of food, so he hurriedly retorted: "What nonsense? ”

Zhu Rong said: "You don't have to be more restrained, the emperor said that the eldest princess can't marry far away, it's because of injury, don't let people spread about you, and there will be branches." ”

Kaijiang swallowed what was in his mouth and said angrily: "I'm busy with my father Zhang Luo going to the Zanxi border, Yao Nian is in the palace, how can I revolve around her?" ”

The old lady sandwiched a roast duck leg for Kaijiang: "Eat slowly, don't pay attention to him, I love to bully you since I was a child." ”

Kaijiang shook his head: "Old lady, what did you say, what did Fuyi like about him?" ”

Zhu Rong glanced at him: "Is it difficult, I still like you, I am strange, what did the eldest princess like about you?" ”

Kaijiang sighed twice, took a big bite of duck meat, swallowed it and said: "If you want to say, the candidate for marriage and marriage, this is decided?" Qin Taiwei is also fighting, in order to gain a foothold in front of the new monarch, he does not hesitate to sacrifice his little granddaughter. ”

Zhu Rong said: "Haven't you heard that Qin Ying asked for it himself?" ”

Kaijiang asked rhetorically: "Isn't it the persecution of the family, otherwise which woman is willing to marry far away, then Emperor Yongluo is in his forties." ”

The old lady sighed: "There are really a lot of people in the house who want to take care of this matter, and there are only seven or eight families who ask for my door, and they all say that their girls are willing." ”

Kaijiang frowned: "The girl who was raised so easily, has become a bargaining chip for the glory of the family, which is really chilling." ”

Zhu Rong said with a smile: "This is just to ask to marry the princess, if it is the other way around, if you want to marry the princess to Daqi, you can sacrifice for the country and promote the good of the Qin and Jin dynasties of the two countries." ”

The old lady said angrily: "You kid, what are you doing all the time, it's annoying." ”

Kaijiang said aggrievedly: "Since that incident, he has looked at me everywhere and I don't like it, old lady, you said that you didn't see me come to ask for peace, just like him, do I dare to come?" ”

The old lady said: "You tell Yan Shi, don't pay attention to him, there are no more of you, see who is still good with him." ”

Zhu Rong doesn't care: "It's enough for me to have help." ”

"Third brother, you are really not ashamed." I saw Yunzhi coming in from outside the door, followed by Min Yanshi, and after the two saluted their grandmother, they also sat down at the table.

The maidservant wanted to add dishes and chopsticks, and Yunzhi said: "We have eaten, and we wanted to go out for a walk to eat, but before we knew it, we came to the house and gave my uncle a bowl of wolfberry tea, don't put the tea leaves, I want rose dew." ”

"You can go back to your parents' house for a walk, Yunzhi, you are not a blessing that anyone can have." Kaijiang smiled, "Seeing that the two of you are so good, I don't know whether to envy Yunzhi or Yanshi." ”

Yun Zhi smiled and narrowed his eyes: "Brother Kaijiang, I will envy you and the eldest princess in the future, count it up, you will call me a cousin-in-law in the future." ”

The old lady said angrily: "It's not big or small, Yan Shi is so busy, and you are still pulling him to delay time." ”

Yan Shi said gently: "Yunzhi just saw that I was lying at the desk for too long every day, so he pulled me out for a walk, for my good." ”

Kaijiang sighed: "You have a very comfortable life. ”

Yunzhi glanced at her husband, and Min Yanshi shook her hand under the table, as if telling her not to be shy, but the little lady blushed instead.

"Today's sweet and sour pork ribs are sweet." Zhu Rong put down his chopsticks and asked Mama Rui, "Has the cook from Gusu changed at home?" ”

Yun Zhi pouted and glared at his brother: "If you want to say, why don't you accompany Fuyi to see the eldest aunt, and you are embarrassed to tease me." ”

Kaijiang said: "Yunzhi, tell him quickly, this person has been very bad recently." ”

Yunzhi said: "Brother Kaijiang, don't worry, some people feel uncomfortable as soon as they leave my sister-in-law, let's let him." ”

Looking at the young children arguing, the old lady smiled, but when she looked up, she saw Huizhi's figure flashing by the door, and someone outside was really stopping, vaguely asking: "Why is the girl leaving?" ”

The old lady said: "Yun'er, go and see if Huizhi is outside." ”

Yunzhi was very strange, and went out in response, and sure enough, she saw Sister-in-law Li and her fifth sister talking under the corridor, she came over and asked: "Why don't you come in, Brother Kaijiang and your brother-in-law, don't scruple about it." ”

Huizhi was hesitant, and he didn't know what to say, but he was finally brought in by the second sister.

At this time, the maidservants removed the dishes and chopsticks, changed the tea, water, melons and fruits, and the old lady withdrew from everyone, leaving only the children to sit around, and said straight to the point: "Hui'er, is it for your brother's business?" It's all your own family, don't scruple about it, you name it. ”

Huizhi looked at everyone timidly: "I want to ask about the Qin family's sister and relatives." ”

Yan Shi responded: "It has spread all over the capital today, and even several Yongluo envoys have approached Qin Taiwei, and they have already chosen to be the little granddaughter in their mansion, the girl named Qin Ying." ”

Yunzhi said: "I can prove that it was she who asked her eldest sister to take the initiative to ask for help, and this matter is not bad for the emperor and queen." ”

"But." Huizhi said weakly, "But my brother is ......."

Yun Zhi asked curiously, "Is it fair?" What's wrong with Pingli? ”

Min Yanshi had already guessed a few points, and pulled the rhyme: "Listen to my sister speak slowly?" ”

Yunzhi didn't understand yet, so she asked her husband, "What's wrong, do you know?" ”

The old lady said: "Pingli fell in love with the little granddaughter of the Qin family, and she went to confess a few days ago, but she was arrested by Mrs. Qin, and your third aunt and Fuyi went to bring people back." ”

Yun Yi's face was surprised: "Really? Plain? Zhu Pingli? ”

Zhu Rong Zhengse said: "It's okay for you to joke now, after Pingli comes back, don't laugh at her face-to-face, don't joke about it, compare your heart to your heart, if Min Yanshi is forced to marry a princess from another country, are you willing?" ”

Yun Zhi sighed: "I know...... I'm measured. ”

Min Yanshi played a round for his wife: "Like me and Yunzhi, although we have known each other since childhood, we don't know each other, and we are always out of sight." Suddenly, one day, when I came back to my senses, I found that the best person was by my side, and I looked at the girl of the Qin family fairly, and maybe the same was true. ”

Zhu Rong coughed a few times, and he couldn't help laughing when he saw his sister's cheeks getting redder and redder.

But Min Yanshi said unhurriedly: "I also heard about the Qin family's girl before, Pingli and her have repeatedly clashed, and this back and forth naturally has feelings." ”

Kaijiang looked at the little couple and shook his head: "I originally thought that Zhu Rong and Fu Yi were crooked, Yan Shi, I really underestimated you." ”

The old lady said angrily: "Okay, first feel sorry for your little sister, Hui'er is anxious for her brother." ”

Hui Zhi said: "Although my brother lost his temper that day and shouted that this matter was over, but before leaving, I asked my father again and again, I must leave people behind, and I can't let Sister Qin go to kiss, what can I do now?" ”

Zhu Rong said: "I also promised him that I would try my best to persuade the queen to choose another person, but only as much as possible, after all, how can we control the major events involving the marriage between the two countries?" ”

Yun Zhi asked: "What about the third uncle?" ”

Hui Zhi responded: "There is a party tonight, and I haven't arrived home yet, my mother hasn't noticed my brother's mind yet, so this matter naturally has nothing to do with her." ”

Yunzhi said: "It's okay, I'm not the last person to know." ”

At this moment, when she saw Sister-in-law Li and Mother Zhou coming into the door, Yunzhi didn't have to ask to know that it was her mother who wanted to see her, so without waiting for Mother Zhou to speak, she said to her grandmother: "Grandma, we can't help with this matter, Yan Shi and I will go to say hello to our mother first, and then come back later." ”

The old lady bowed: "Go, your father has been better these days, I don't know if I can recognize you." ”

The couple retreated, and Zhu Rong said to his sister: "Hui'er, not everything in this world must obey our wishes, and sometimes we have to obey the destiny of heaven, and no one can help with this matter at the moment." ”

Huizhi was naturally sensible and said: "Third brother, when the time comes, you have to comfort my brother well, I know that he is duplicitous, and he is still thinking about Sister Qin." ”

After that, Zhu Rong sent Kaijiang out, originally saying a few words about the court, but halfway through, Kaijiang suddenly said: "Or, let's use some extraordinary means?" ”

Zhu Rong asked, "What do you want to do?" ”

Kaijiang said softly: "For example, hide people? ”

Zhu Rong said solemnly: "No, this is a blatant confrontation with the emperor and queen, even if I am my own brother, what if you are the eldest princess's future concubine." It's not that I don't care about my brother's feelings, in the end, it's the Qin Mansion's own family matter. ”

Kaijiang smiled: "Don't say one thing in front of me, don't do another thing later, don't be if I don't know, you don't care about the mood of fairness?" ”

Zhu Rong said coldly: "The queen is my own sister today, and I can't hurt her for the sake of my children's personal feelings, and she has a share in justice." ”

Kaijiang pouted: "Okay, if you want me to help when you come back, just say it." ”

After he left, Zhu Rong went to the garden to practice alone, came back sweating profusely, and when he met Zhengming, he returned from outside the house and told him: "Son, everything is arranged, and Ming'er can leave." ”

Zhu Rong's heart tightened, raised his eyes to look at Xinghuatang, and clenched the sword in his hand: "Early tomorrow morning, send the eldest master out of the city." ”

When he bathed and went to sleep, the night was already dark, and the lights in various parts of the Duke's Mansion were extinguished one after another, and on this side, the palace of Taiwei Qin also entered a quiet long night.

In the boudoir, Qin Ying was sitting at the head of the bed, carefully applying the plaster to remove the scar for herself, and suddenly heard the door open, thinking that it was the little maid who came to check the candle flame, she said casually: "I'll sleep here." ”

But the approaching figure, Gao Gao was a man, she was nervously covering her clothes, and when she saw it clearly, she was even more surprised: "Brother? ”

Qin Hao was obviously more nervous than his sister, and his voice trembled: "Shadow, I'm sorry." ”

"Brother...... saw a black shadow flash in front of him, and Qin Ying's neck was in sharp pain, and then his eyes turned black, and he didn't know anything.
