"What is it?" Huizhi asked his brother.

"What?"

"You say, 'yes,'...... What is it? Huizhi pointed to the sachet, "This is what my brother gave to Sister Qin?" ”

Pingli hurriedly said: "How is it possible, I just happened to fall in love with this, I generously gave it to her, and she gave it to me now." Do you like it, oh, take it and play with it. ”

Huizhi only moved his arm slightly, and didn't say that he wanted to reach out to take it, so Pingli immediately clenched the hand holding the sachet into a fist: "Forget it, I bought it at the stall, it's very vulgar, my mother saw you using this cheap thing, it's time to talk about you." Brother will go back and buy you a better one, it's not early, I have to get up early tomorrow to worship my ancestors, hurry up and go to sleep. “

"Will I go outside the city tomorrow to watch the dragon boat race, this year's Dragon Boat Festival aristocratic eunuchs want to guard the system for the first emperor, there is nothing interesting in the city, so I count on the dragon boat race outside the city." Huizhi said, "Last year, when I entered the palace, I made a premature birth of the four princesses, and I was scared, so let's go outside the city to play this year, okay?" ”

Pingli said: "But there is no festival in the school, my brother can't leave, go to your second sister and let her take you there." ”

Huizhi asked in surprise: "Brother, you never cared about the school suspension before......

Pingli yawned and fell back: "Sleep, sleep, remember to close the door." ”

Not long after, when he heard the bedroom door being closed and knew that his sister was gone, Pingli sighed, took out the sachet and looked at it for a long time, and said to himself: "What do you mean, what else do you give me?" Do you want to break off your relationship completely? ”

In the courtyard, there was a movement of stewards telling the candles everywhere, and it was late at night, and under the same night, there were also housekeepers with the guards to check the candles.

They walked outside the young lady's boudoir, several mothers entered the courtyard to check, Qin Ying blew out the candles in the room by herself, and the outside thought that the girl was going to sleep, and she spoke quietly.

But Qin Ying just curled up on the beauty couch under the window, and a window was opened here, so that he could see the night sky, blowing out the lights in the room, and the moonlight would be brighter.

She sighed, her heart was indescribably suffocated and sore, so uncomfortable that she wanted to cry, but she didn't know who she wanted to shed tears for.

"Girl, are you asleep?"

"Sleep, stand down, you don't have to come in......"

"Girl, Ming'er, are we really not going to the Duke's Palace?"

"No, you don't have to rush to get up early, now the housework is not in my hands, I want to sleep soundly."

The voices of the maids sounded very happy, after all, since she began to take charge of the house, she is always the earliest one in the family all year round, so it is harder to follow her subordinates than elsewhere.

Finally, she didn't care about housework, but she had to go to the Duke's Palace to study, and she was ready to go out every day, which was more troublesome than before.

Therefore, the reasons she said to the third sister-in-law of the Zhu family are a few words true, but they are just ......

Qin Ying didn't discuss this matter with her family, and said to Fuyi that she didn't need to go to the house to inform her, in her opinion, a smart and transparent person like the third sister-in-law must understand that she has other troubles and will not talk much.

In short, she has the final say on her own, and tomorrow the festival will be under the pretext that there will be no classes in the Duke's Palace, and she will talk about it for a day.

This night, the people who couldn't sleep finally fell asleep on the beauty couch, and the next morning they were sleepy and were woken up by the maids in a hurry.

"What time do you want to get up late?" Qin Ying felt uncomfortable, "What do you want me to do?" ”

The maids said: "This year, the old lady said that the whole family, regardless of male and female dependents, will go to worship their ancestors together, and you will go too." ”

"Really?" Only then did Qin Ying ease her emotions a little and calm herself down, "Got it, change my clothes for me." ”

In previous years, during the big and small festivals, birthdays, etc., those who could go to the ancestral hall to worship their ancestors were all male dependents, and the female dependents followed the old grandmother to set up incense cases in another place, and the Dragon Boat Festival often did not even set up incense cases.

A few years ago, she was busy worshipping her ancestors during the festival, and Qin Ying herself couldn't go to the ancestors and ancestors to offer incense in the end, although in her heart, she didn't care about that stick of incense, but she felt unfair since she was a child.

Now that grandpa suddenly changed his mind, the joy in her heart almost swept away the grievances of not being able to go to school, no matter what, the little nieces and nieces in the family will no longer bear the grievances and unwillingness she had when she was a child.

At this hour, in the ancestral hall of the Zhongguo Mansion, there was already green smoke, and after the old lady took her family to offer incense, she urged her sons and grandchildren to hurry up to the court, and asked Chu Xue: "Is there any fun in our family?" ”

Chu Xue said: "In the way of the first emperor, this year will not be lively, but my grandson is afraid that you will be bored and panicked, so he sent someone to occupy a place by the river outside the city and build a pergola early." If you want to join in the fun, let's go to watch the people race dragon boats, which is not a violation. ”

The old lady was about to ask the children if they were going, but she heard the voice of her youngest son and daughter-in-law outside, angry and sharp: "Don't touch me, I know you hate me." ”

Huizhi also heard it, and ran outside the door in embarrassment, waiting for the old lady and her family to come out, but no one was seen.

Sister-in-law Li stepped forward and said: "The third master and the third lady are arguing, the third lady is very angry, she shook her hands and left, the third master went to the court, and the fifth girl chased back to Xiyuan." ”

The old lady had a headache when she heard it: "It's a big holiday, why don't you go to Xiyuan and ask, do they want to go to see the dragon boat race." ”

Fuyi took the initiative to say: "Grandma, I'll ask, you go back to make up for sleep first, and it's going to be noon for dragon boat racing." ”

Chu Xue and Fu Yi glanced at each other, and the eldest sister-in-law coaxed her grandmother to rest, and Fu Yi took people to Xiyuan, but seeing that Huizhi was also kicked out by the third lady, she persuaded her mother through the door.

"What's wrong?" Fu Yi asked, "Did the third uncle and aunt quarrel?" ”

"My mother said that my father had something to hide from him." Huizhi looked at her sister-in-law helplessly, "My mother is so stupid, I thought about it all night, and I haven't figured it out yet, but my father promised my brother not to say it, so I didn't say it." ”

Fu Yi asked, "Is it your Sister Qin's business?" ”

Hui Zhi booed and pulled Fuyi to the side: "Sister-in-law, do you know the sachet?" ”

Fu Yi pretended not to know, shook his head and said, "What sachet?" ”

Huizhi said: "I guess, it may be that my brother sent a sachet to Sister Qin at some point, but she returned it to my brother yesterday, sister-in-law, how do I think, Sister Qin is also a little ...... to my brother"

I only heard that the door was opened, and the third lady came out, interrupting the words of the aunt and sister-in-law, and she smiled awkwardly: "Did you alarm the old lady?" ”

Fu Yi said: "Grandma is just worried about you and wants me to come to greet you, Auntie, are you okay?" Today, sister-in-law Zhang Luo, let's go outside the city to watch the dragon boat race, do you want to go? ”

The third lady said: "Go, it's sulking to stay at home." ”

Fuyi and Huizhi looked at each other and smiled, not daring to say mother-in-law, and after being appeased for a long time, they went to the inner courtyard together. The third lady didn't dare to offend the old lady, and she made a loud noise in the family ancestral hall during the festival, so she always had to come to accompany her.

But as soon as they returned to their grandmother, someone came to the palace, and the queen ordered her to enter the palace to see her.

The old lady said: "Didn't you say that the Dragon Boat Festival has its own way? ”

Fu Yi said: "I guess it's Kizhou's letter that has arrived, and the prince has an order, and the mother will always convey it to us." ”

The old lady bowed: "You go, your sister-in-law and I will go outside the city to see the excitement, if it is still early after leaving the palace, come to us." ”

In response, he went back to Qingqiu Pavilion to dress up, and before leaving, he dismissed all the people in the courtyard, and let them go to have fun by themselves, and only brought citrons into the palace.

In the main hall, the ministers have dispersed, leaving only Zhu Rong, Min Yanshi and a few young ministers in Kaijiang.

The emperor assigned everything one by one, and when he arrived at Zhu Rong, Xiang Qi said: "My father wants you to go to Jizhou, but whether you go or not, you decide for yourself, if you don't go, there are a lot of things in the court, waiting for you to do." ”

Min Yanshi coughed lightly, only wishing Rong could hear it, the brothers understood each other's meaning, Min Yanshi was reminding him that the meaning of the emperor's words was that he didn't want him to leave the capital.

Come to think of it, Prince Sheng will not say that it is up to Zhu Rong to decide whether to go or not, this is added by the emperor himself.

But Zhu Rong had already made a decision in his heart: "Your Majesty, the minister is willing to go to Jizhou to assist the prince in developing a new type of artillery." ”

Xiang Qi smiled faintly: "For your wife?" ”

Zhu Rong knelt down on one knee and responded: "For the military of Daqi!" ”

The emperor sighed, waved his hand and said, "Go, the queen also wants to see you." ”

Zhu Rong took the order, and before leaving, he glanced at Kaijiang and Min Yanshi, and their eyes were to let Zhu Rong go with confidence, and he calmly retreated.

Outside the imperial city, the carriage and horses of the Zhongguo Mansion stopped, and Fuyi was surrounded to get out of the car, and there was no waist card to enter the palace, so they had to wait for the people inside to pick them up.

Inadvertently, in the distance in a few horse workshops, Fu Yi saw a familiar face, Shi Zhan and the others were waiting there, looking at each other from a distance. She bowed her head politely, but the people over there were stunned, and Fu Yi had already withdrawn his gaze.

Not long after, the chamberlain hurriedly came, took the young lady to the middle palace, and said on the way: "The prince is already here, the mother said, you don't need to report, you can enter the palace by yourself." ”

"There is labor." After thanking him, he went to the door of the palace, and after tidying up his appearance, he lifted his skirt and entered the door, but through the screen, he heard his husband talking.

Zhu Rong said: "The first emperor and father, the starting point for me is too high, that day to see my father to send the Dragon Boat Festival, our father and son talked a lot, it is rare that there is no quarrel, talking about the past, there are also future things." ”

The queen's voice sounded indifferent: "Is he trying to make you soft-hearted, so that you can't bear to put him under house arrest?" ”

Zhu Rong said: "It doesn't matter if it's or not, but I want to become a pillar of Daqi in the future, and this wish will not change." I didn't go to Kishu to escape, let alone to coax and be happy, but to do what I could and really contribute to Daqi and the imperial court. If the national strength delayed by the first emperor for ten years is not made up, Yongluo's iron cavalry will come to invade the territory sooner or later. ”

Fu Yi must be in his heart, and said through the screen: "Niangniang, it's me." ”

Hearing the familiar footsteps, Zhu Rong bypassed the cloak, smiled at her, and walked to the eldest sister by the hand.

Han Zhi saw that their eyes were clear and full of vitality, so he could only smile and say: "Since it is my father's will, even if the emperor doesn't want to let you go, you can go with peace of mind, but come back early and bring your newly made artillery fire." Fuyi, I've told you to run for nothing, I don't have anything to say, you heard it, right? ”

Fuyi's smile was like a flower, and the joy in his heart couldn't be hidden: "Big sister, we must go early and return early." ”
