The eight-year-old boy's hands hidden under his wide sleeves couldn't help but clench his fists tightly, and after talking a few words with His Royal Highness the Third Prince, who had admired him for a long time, he explained with a warm smile that he was not suitable for entering the Imperial Library after the Mid-Autumn Festival, although he was looking for himself, Qin Hong nodded busily, until the Third Highness was called aside by the two women who looked like the official lady and the official lady, Qin Hong carefully sighed, and then realized that both palms were sweating.

"What are you nervous about, he doesn't eat people." Qin Xun slapped his younger brother on the top of the head twice, "Under normal circumstances, he is much better than me." ”

"Generally?" Qin Hong subconsciously asked again, keenly feeling that although the third brother was smiling and whispering, when he looked at the place where the third highness was talking to the two women who looked at the mother and daughter, his expression and tone were much more indifferent.

"It's nothing, and it's unlikely that there will be special circumstances for Ziyi, after all, you are my brother." Qin Xun was in a good mood when he said this, and after a pause, he suddenly said, "When you enter the Imperial Library after the Mid-Autumn Festival, if you encounter bullying and injustice, if you are embarrassed to go to the Third Highness for support, just come back and tell the third brother." ”

"Then if Ziyi is really bullied, what will happen to the third brother?"

"Beat him for you." Qin Xun didn't think about it, he held Qin Hong's face and said with a smile, "I like to clean up half-grown cubs like you." ”

Qin Hong didn't feel a chill for no reason.

Qin Xun was full of bad taste, re-opened the folding fan with satisfaction, described it with a rather graceful smile and shook lightly, and said: "Ziyi, you followed me to meet people before the banquet began, and when the Queen Mother and His Majesty came here to start the banquet, you can go back to the eldest brother and them." ”

Qin Hong was slightly surprised for a moment, and then saluted with a solemn look on his little face: "Thank you, third brother." ”

"You're welcome, come, eat preserves." Qin Xun laughed, and handed a bag of candied fruit to his younger brother to coax him to play.

This child is young, he doesn't talk much, he is polite, and his brain is also very good, Qin Xun said a word at will, this child understood that the third brother was asking himself to show his face by his side, in this kind of occasion when the court officials were dense, so that everyone with a heart looked into his eyes, knowing that the delicate Qin Sangongzi was very kind to this young brother who had no sense of existence in the past, and he had a number in his heart, and Qin Hong began to appear in front of people in the future, and he would not let people look down on him.

Originally, Qin Xun really had the idea of speaking with Qi Jing that day, and felt that Qin Hong had to adapt to it by himself in the Imperial Library, and his brothers could protect him for a while, but when he saw Qi Jing's short-term protection of Qi Yao, he suddenly changed his mind, and felt that his brother was indeed not so qualified, so he learned from Qi Jing, and planned to wait for his younger brothers and nephews at home to protect him for a few points, and it would not take much trouble to leave and right.

Qin Xun took Qin Hong with him, and exchanged a few greetings with many old colleagues who had heard a little about it in the past or took the initiative to talk at the moment, and in the middle, he was also distracted and listened to the whispered conversation of two or three official daughters behind a few bushes of flowers and trees.

Originally, the voices of those girls were low enough, but Qin Xun's ears were good, and he still vaguely listened to the rough words, not very pleasant, although the person who was talking about it was not him, Qin Xun still remained silent

Seji glanced at the clothes of several daughters.

No wonder he felt that among the two women who had just been called away by Qi Jing, he looked at the middle-aged woman with a familiar face, it was Mrs. Bao who was making trouble in Manfangting that day and pointed at the peony girl and scolded the "lowly fox spirit", and the only daughter of Yan Zuoxiang, who was married to Bao Fuquan, who was ten years younger than herself, when she was thirty years old.

However, at this moment, Mrs. Bao does not have the appearance of the market shrew that Qin Xun saw that day, and her clothes and smiles are decent, if it weren't for what Qin Xun saw with her own eyes that day, Xu would really think that she was a dignified and generous official wife.

The Qu clan of the concubine relied on the power of the two queens in succession, and the Yan family of Zuo Xiang was not unblind, but Yan Zuo Xiang originally had to be a daughter of Mrs. Bao now, and her temperament was rude and spicy, and she never dared to send her into the palace as a concubine, for fear that she would be angry and come up to collide with the emperor and the concubine next to her, and cause trouble for the Yan family, so she had to find a half-door-to-door son-in-law who was like Bao Fuquan who clinged to the Yan family's nepotism, and finally married Miss Yan to Mrs. Bao at the age of thirty.

However, there is no one who can blow the pillow wind to the royal family to marry into the royal family, which is less helpful to the Yan family who is in the official position of the prime minister, especially when it is in the court with the Qu family who is in the same position as the prime minister, it is inevitable to fall too much, just the daughter of the eldest son of Yan Zuoxiang, the eldest lady of the Yan family who is twenty-eight years old, is pretty, suitable for the prince, and the Yan family has the heart to ask Yan Zhi to marry as the future concubine or even the queen of the middle palace, and the lover who chooses is naturally the third prince Qi Jing who is the most likely future emperor.

The tongue of a few daughters chewed was nothing more than saying that Miss Yan was really shameless to want to stick to a man like this, especially because of that little bit of posture, she also wanted to stick to His Royal Highness the prince in vain trying to become the future queen, and without saying a few words, he heard one of them whisper as if he was jealous: "Don't say much, I heard that Princess Zhaoyang, who is now favored, is also a hussar general...... It is also the princess who is more enthusiastic about the general in the hall, if this kind of talk makes the princess unhappy, you and I will be unlucky. Xu is timid, when this girl talks about Qi Yao and Tang Congji, she doesn't dare to say bad words such as "upside down", "lose share", "shameless" and so on like chewing her tongue Yanzhi.

Qin Xun laughed in his heart, and heard the girl's soft voice call him: "Third Prince Qin." He turned his head and saw that it was Guo Wei, the pearl of Guo Wenzhi, the head of the household department.

"Miss Guo is polite." He smiled and saluted.

Guo Weixu came from the side of a few daughters behind the flowers just now, and she heard some chewy words a little, and she didn't know why she was sure that Qin Xun also heard it clearly, and said with a straight smile: "The family has been harassing Qin Sangongzi like this many times, and they may also think that Guo Wei is cheeky about sticking to Qin's third son, I don't know what Gongzi thinks in his heart, you might as well tell Guo Wei frankly, okay?" ”

Qin Xun only thought that Miss Guo Wei, the daughter of the household department, even in an imperial capital like Chang'an City, where the folk customs were more open, was a little bolder than ordinary women, and today I heard her opening remarks, but I felt that this girl was quite a little cheerful, so she let go of her words a little bit like a joke: "There are a few doubts in the bottom, why is Miss Guo blue-eyed?" With Miss Guo's appearance, choose

A prince is a good match for a beloved, how can he be so loved by Miss Xia, I wonder if Miss Guo can tell her calmly first? ”

"The family wants me to find a good husband's family, and I want to find a good husband's family, but I can protect my peace, my wealth, and my relatives. When Guo Wei said these words, she took off some dignified in front of Qin Xun for the first time, revealing a somewhat delicate look, "Of course, in fact, it is also good to be able to marry the prince, but in comparison, marrying into the royal family, it is inevitable to see the husband and the king take concubines many times, and marrying a family like Qin Sangongzi, my background may still have some room for speech, no matter how bad it is, I can ask the prince to take a few fewer rooms, how about it, isn't it quite cost-effective?" ”

Yes, it's really a good deal, Qin Xun smiled. He said, where do so many storytelling and dramas about the so-called love at first sight come from, either because of lust, or for profit, most of the time they are even both.

Qin Xun smiled and said, "Then if I tell you that I already have a favorite sweetheart, and I am happy with each other, how will you be?" He used to use the same wording when talking to people, and now Guo Wei saved some polite titles, and Qin Xun also relaxed and talked about you.

"Naturally, he let go of Qin Sangongzi. Since you already have a sweetheart, even if I marry you as I wish, you can't treat me very well, maybe you and I will have a dislike because of this, and we will look hateful when we look at each other for a long time. It was a step later than my son's sweetheart, and the two of you have become a family, and I regret it inevitably, but I can't force it to break through, why bother to kill such an unhappy marriage, which not only destroys you, but also practices myself? ”

Qin Xun laughed: "Miss Guo is a transparent person. ”

Guo Wei asked uncertainly: "But dare to ask Gongzi, is Gongzi pretending to say this to talk to me, or does Qin Sangongzi really belong to him?" ”

"Seriously." Qin Xun glanced imperceptibly at Qi Jing's place.

Guo Weiguaner: "Then I hope that the third prince of Qin and the person in his heart will be a good companion for a quiet life, and it will be a hundred years old." When I go back this time, I will talk to my father, and I will definitely stop bothering my son in the future. ”

"To put it mildly, Lord Guo is actually quite cute." Qin Xun was in a good mood at this time, and praised Guo Wenzhi, the head of the household who frequently wanted to recruit himself as his son-in-law a while ago and annoyed him, and replied with a good and obedient message to Miss Guo Wei, "I also hope that Miss Guo will find a wishful husband as soon as possible, can you ask Miss Guo for a glass of wine?" ”

"Borrow the son's auspicious words, wait for the wedding banquet, and the son will not have an invitation." Guo Wei said nothing, but he mentioned it with a smile, "As I said, there are often people who chase men because they are shameless, I want to hear what the son thinks, can the third son of Qin have more time to talk to me more?" ”

There is nothing different about this, the love of men and women should be reciprocal, men chasing women are happy for their hearts, women chasing men, how can they be incorruptible and shameful? The glory and shame of love does not lie in the direction pursued between men and women, and even does not exist only between men and women, as long as it conforms to moral ethics

, is a good coupling, the two feelings are happy for the wind, wishful thinking is bitter and depressed, the discrete lover is the next work, and the gathering and scattering is the etiquette, that's all. ”

"It's rare that Qin Sangongzi, as a man, can still have such a reasonable and forgiving woman's thoughts, in terms of secular etiquette, there is always no shortage of people who have a lot of disregard for such things." Guo Wei said jokingly, "Eh, if it weren't for the person who had the master, I would still be very happy with you, and I don't know how lucky the sweetheart of the son is to have this beloved." ”

"He is a good man, how fortunate I am." Qin Xun smiled gently, and added, "The worldly that makes sense can be called etiquette, and the worldly that doesn't make sense is called bullshit!" ”

Guo Wei snorted and laughed with him.
