"I heard that the seventh brother lived in Concubine Chen's palace when he was young, and was raised by Concubine Xiao Chen for a period of time."

Nangong Hao looked at Nangong Qi, and asked casually without avoiding the embarrassment of the brothers at the wine table who had nothing to say.

Nangong Qi took a bite of the crispy and sweet carp slices and nodded, "The little brother was raised by Concubine Chen until he was a teenager, and when he grew up, he would have his own palace." ”

Nangong Hao took a deep breath and sighed lightly, "Concubine Chen is kind-hearted and has no quarrel with the world, and it's okay for the seventh brother to follow her." ”

Nangong Shuo snorted coldly, and mocked while picking up vegetables: "It stands to reason that the seventh brother should be close to the fourth brother, how can he stick to the back of the third brother's ass all day long?" ”

When there was no one, Nangong Shuo called him by his name to several other brothers, and now in front of Nangong Qi and An Wanqing, he naturally wanted to restrain himself.

An Wanqing also looked at him with a strange expression, and had the same question in her heart.

"The fourth brother likes literature but doesn't like martial arts, he doesn't know anything about archery and horseback riding, and he talks about poetry and painting with scholars all day long, so he doesn't have time to play with me, and I don't like to be quiet, and over time, I'm also bored." Nangong Qi pouted.

He is telling the truth, Nangong Hui is the number one talent in the capital, Mr. Chonghua's name is not in vain, and he is busy talking about poetry and painting on weekdays, and he can't take care of him.

"But what does this have to do with your closeness to the third brother?" Nangong Shuo looked at him angrily.

"When I was a child, I ran to the hunting ground to play alone, and accidentally fell from a horse, and it was the third brother who took me to the hospital, and then taught me to ride a horse and shoot arrows. Nangong Qi replied while eating.

Nangong Shuo smiled lightly and was silent.

This Nangong Yu is already in the age of establishment, a full decade older than the seventh brother, and the two are twelve years apart and can stick together, which shows that this brotherhood is not ordinary.

Nangong Qi's hand paused for a moment, and recalled thoughtfully: "At the Lantern Temple Fair four years ago, I met a killer on Bibo Lake, and the third brother blocked a sword for me, and there is still a scar on my arm." ”

An Wanqing raised her eyes and glanced at Nangong Qi.

The three princes risked their lives to block the sword for the Seventh Highness, and it is no wonder that the Seventh Highness is close to the Third Prince.

Nangong Hao and Nangong Shuo glanced at each other, their brows furrowed, and they were silent for a while.

"Among the brothers, the third brother treats me the best."

Hearing this, Nangong Hao nodded slightly, frowned, had mixed tastes in his heart, raised the wine jug and poured a full wine glass, and drank it all.

"Even if there is no third brother to take care of, the seventh brother is still favored by his father, there are seven brothers, and the father and emperor favor the seventh brother alone, which makes the brothers very envious." Nangong Shuo's eyes were filled with a hint of coldness, a smile was hooked at the corner of his mouth, and he opened his mouth slightly.

"A few years ago, in order to consolidate the court situation, my father was very busy on weekdays, and he didn't have the time to take care of his younger brother, if it wasn't for the trouble and the trouble on his father's side, my father would probably not be able to take care of his younger brother." Nangong Qi preached disapprerovingly.

"What else can you do kid?" Nangong Shuo glanced at him, but he was a little curious.

Nangong Hao also looked up at him.

"When I was a child, I lived with Yan Qingyu in Concubine Chen's palace, and went to study in the academy together, it is common to have conflicts, I remember one time, we accidentally knocked over the candlestick and almost burned half of the academy's palace." Nangong Qi said embarrassedly.

Nangong Shuo frowned, he didn't have much affection for Yan Qingyu, he snorted coldly, and asked casually, "And then?" Father angry? ”

"Father asked the internal affairs office to mobilize the people to renovate the academy, can you not be angry?" Nangong Qi shrugged his shoulders and pouted: "Yan Qingyu and I have not escaped the beating and scolding of our father, and we can't sit down if our buttocks are swollen." ”

"Doesn't my father love you very much? Willing to beat you? Nangong Shuo was stunned.

Nangong Qi smiled awkwardly and scratched his neck, "It's a matter of childhood." ”

Nangong Hao frowned, sighed lightly, and said thoughtfully: "Yan Qingyu is now the overseer of the Imperial Jin Army, and he can take charge of himself, how can the seventh brother ......?"

Speaking of this, Nangong Hao wanted to speak again and again, and it was inconvenient to say the four words of idleness after all.

Nangong Qi shrugged, lowered his head and continued to eat, without half a response, I don't know if he didn't hear it, or pretended not to hear it.

"This king remembers that day in the Taishi Mansion, the seventh brother was very afraid of the fourth brother, isn't it that the fourth brother often teaches the seventh brother?" Nangong Shuo smiled, with a somewhat playful tone, and asked casually.

"The third brother and the fourth brother are reluctant to beat the younger brother, they often scare the younger brother, but they never move the real thing. Especially the fourth brother, every time the little brother is scared when he sees him, he runs away, but then I think about it, the fourth brother really hasn't beaten the little brother. When Nangong Qi said this, he was amused.

Nangong Shuo snorted coldly and glanced at him, "Even if they are close to you and get acquainted with you, they are still half-siblings, and they always have mustard in their hearts, who dares to really do it to you?" ”

Nangong Qi's heart tightened, he smiled reluctantly, his pupils were a little deep, and he said to himself: "Half-brother is indeed ......"

An Wanqing raised her eyes and looked at Nangong Qi.

The sixth prince got to the point, even if the brothers are close, they are not half-brothers, they have half different blood in their bones, they have deep brotherhood on the surface, but behind their backs, they are not fighting to the death for power.

An Wanqing thought that she was born in the royal family, and her flesh and blood affection were faint from the position of power after all.

Nangong Hao raised his glass and drank a glass of wine, his eyebrows were full of sadness, and his heart was full of mixed tastes.

"What about the fifth brother and the sixth brother? How have you been doing in Guliang City over the years? I heard that it's quite desolate over there......"

Without waiting for Nangong Qi to finish speaking, Nangong Shuo sneered: "My fifth brother and I are in Guliang City, so naturally it is not as good as the life of the seventh brother in the palace. ”

Nangong Qi frowned and rolled his eyes in his heart.

The sixth brother doesn't want to see Xiao Wang like this, every time he chats less than half a sentence, he kills people, even if Xiao Wang lives in the Haowang Mansion, he also lives in the fifth brother's house, the fifth brother doesn't say anything, is the sixth brother going?

"Seventh brother, eat more." Nangong Hao observed his words, glared at Nangong Shuo, and smiled at Nangong Qi.

"Oh." Nangong Qi pouted and continued to pick up the dishes.

After about a cup of tea, Nangong Qi put down his chopsticks, got up and said respectfully: "Fifth brother, the younger brother is full, go back to Dongguan Pavilion first." ”

"Go ahead." Nangong Hao nodded slightly.

Nangong Qi looked casual, and pulled Xiao Gaozi out of the front hall.

"Fifth brother, I'll just say, these seventh brothers only have Nangong Yu in their hearts, and even Nangong Hui is in the back row, let alone us!" Nangong Shuo put down his chopsticks, clasped his hands in front of his chest, and pouted.

"Alright." Nangong Hao glared at him unhappily.

Nangong Shuo had no choice but to shut up, got up and walked out of the hall, and said angrily: "The younger brother is also full, so he won't accompany the fifth brother." ”

"...... you" Nangong Hao shook his head helplessly, as if he had thought of something, turned his head to look at An Wanqing, who had been silent, and was suddenly stunned, "The princess has always been dignified and polite, and the seventh brother came to the mansion as a guest, why didn't the princess even say half a word." ”
