In the evening, when the rain stopped, the servants in the courtyard began to go back and forth to do things, it was dinner time, the kitchen was busy in full swing, and all the masters in the dining room were seated around the dining table, and they did not move their chopsticks, as if they were waiting for someone.

"Haven't woken up yet?" Qin Zhenhai looked at the shrunken girl who was talking back and forth.

As soon as Mu Xi was nervous, he used to wring his hands, and stumbled and said, "Slave, slave and maid...... It's called, the third son...... Very, very tired, not ......"

Qin Zhenhai bowed his head: "That's it, it's normal to be tired after a tiring journey, let him sleep, ask the kitchen to cover him with a meal, and send him when he wakes up." Let's eat. ”

Mrs. Gu glanced at Qin Huai, who was sitting upright with a smile, and whispered dissatisfied: "It's not good to sit upright, just the one who has been noble since he was a child, he doesn't eat lunch or dinner, he wants to become an immortal." ”

Qin Zhenhai frowned: "Okay, what are you muttering when you eat." ”

Everyone ate in silence, occasionally listening to Mrs. Gu's "eat this" and "eat that" to her husband, a son, a daughter and a four-year-old grandson, and selectively ignore the other two sons who were not born of their own and the husband's young concubine.

Halfway through the meal, Qin Zhenhai said: "Zichang, these days that you are not in the capital, the body and bones of the Ministry of Rites are becoming more and more inflexible, Your Majesty pities his old age, and plans to let him go home to recuperate." A few days ago, His Majesty summoned his close ministers to discuss, and intended to order you to succeed you after you returned to Beijing. ”

"Your Majesty raises love, and the son understands."

Qin Zhenhai nodded approvingly: "You have always been safe." ”

This eldest son is one of the most promising in the family, young and easy to poet a famous move in Beijing, even the emperor is full of praise for its literary talents, at the age of fifteen he was appointed to the Ministry of Rites Langzhong, after three years has been appointed as the Ministry of Rites Lang, and now three out of twenty will be appointed as the Ministry of Rites Shangshu, it can be described as a young and promising young talent, these years or obscure or straightforward want to marry a lot of people at home, but unfortunately the son has been unintentional to all parties, he is not good at advocating.

He owed this child a little in the past, and he didn't want to worsen the relationship between father and son, so if he could respect his choice, he would try to let it be himself.

It's a shame to say that as a father, he seems to owe a little to his children, not to mention the eldest and the smallest, even Xiao'er and Miao'er, who he has always consciously loved, are also missing a lot of company that should come from his father because he is busy with military affairs and is not at home all the year round.

The child of Weizhi is not so much that he ignores him, but that he doesn't know how to face him in the first place.

The combination of him and Lin Chu was originally an absurd joke of the government.

Lin Chu doesn't love him, nor does he love the emperor, she loves King Ping, Qi Ge Xingzhou, their childhood sweethearts have no guesses, and they almost became husband and wife, if it weren't for the world, they must be a happy fairy couple.

Qi Ge is nine years older than Lin Chu, when the Great Qi was founded, Qi Ge was just and weak crown, at that time Qi Ge was the prince, Qin Zhenhai was a hussar general two years younger than him, Lin Chu was still a yellow-haired girl who rode and shot like a horse behind them, the pearl of the Dingguo Gong called them "Brother Xingzhou" and "Brother Zhenhai" with a smile all day long, and then a few years older to the age of the girl Huaichun, she also confided her thoughts generously from time to time: "I will marry Brother Xingzhou when I get married!" Qi Ge also smiled every time.

She is naïve and ignorant of the world, and she doesn't know that with her bloodline, she can't marry Qi Ge, who is the prince of Great Qi.

You can't marry with different bloodlines, and you can't marry with the blood of the previous dynasty, and it's a coincidence that it's not a coincidence, Lin Chu occupies both.

It is said that when the country is about to die, there will be demons, and the word "demon" is often deducted on the head of the woman favored by the king of the dead country. The last monarch of the previous dynasty, Yin Houhou, the most favored demon concubine known as "the country and the people", was the peerless beauty of the country of Loulan at the beginning.

Concubine Le has a daughter, who is the most favored princess Yin Wan in the previous dynasty, and her exotic beauty is the same as her mother, the only difference is that her hair color is brown and brown.

The princess Yin Wan, who was loved by thousands of people in the previous dynasty, was the original wife of Lin Tian, the prince of Dingguo, the biological mother of Lin Chu, and the biological grandmother of Qin Xun.

When Lin Chu was about to reach fifteen in a few months, he was in a happier mood waiting to marry Qi Ge, Qin Zhenhai couldn't help but say to Qi Ge: "His Royal Highness the Crown Prince shouldn't always be so indulgent to her, you know clearly, she can't ......"

Just like when Lin Tian had a clear opportunity to take power over Qi Dong but missed the throne because he insisted on marrying Yin Wan, the new dynasty would not allow the princess of the previous dynasty to become the queen, and naturally would not allow the daughter of the princess of the previous dynasty to become the queen.

Qi Ge looked serious: "Zhenhai, I really want to marry her, maybe I can wait, and when I succeed to the throne as emperor, no one can stop me from marrying my beloved woman." ”

It's a pity that he couldn't wait for that time, just a few days before Lin Chu and Ji, Emperor Qi Dong suddenly made it difficult for the prince Qi Ge to abolish the crown prince and re-establish it, and Qi Ge was renamed Prince Ping.

What kind of arrogance, he just wanted to abolish Qi Ge, Qin Zhenhai thought so at that time.

Qi Ge was unaffected, and even smiled with him: "You see, Zhenhai, now that I want to marry Ah Chu, there won't be so many people who oppose it, so I am not a prince, not an emperor, and an ordinary prince marrying a princess with the blood of the previous dynasty will not do too much in the court." ”

God seems to be joking with these two people, the emperor died soon after the crown prince was replaced, the new emperor succeeded to the throne, and the emperor's mother was the queen mother, who had never dealt with Qi Ge, and it was even more unfortunate that in the old love entanglements of the elders, about Lin Tian, the queen mother and Yin Wan, who had been deceased for many years, were not very harmonious, and they secretly did not like Lin Chu, and intentionally or unintentionally made it difficult for her marriage.

Lin Chu and Qi Ge never agreed on a proper marriage that dragged on for two or three years, but halfway through, an emperor who had been infatuated with Lin Chu for many years, Qi Duan, came in, and said his love in front of the courtiers, which suddenly made Lin Chu's marriage with the royal family chaotic and complicated, and the queen mother couldn't sit still, and after thinking about it for less than a month, she actually made a decree to marry the eighteen-year-old Lin Chu into the Qin family and marry Qin Zhenhai, shocking Chang'an.

Qin Zhenhai didn't know whether to be stunned or helpless, he who should have been entangled with their love and couldn't fight would actually become the one who married Lin Chu, and the situation in the court and the grievances of several generations did not allow them, the children of the family who were sensible early, to resist the decree, and in the second year of his marriage to Lin Chu, their Xiaoping King Qi Ge died in the disaster of the Ping Wangfu, and the world was embarrassed.

After five years of marriage, he and Lin Chu have always respected each other, and they have never even had a round house. They have grown up together since childhood, and they do have a very good relationship, but unfortunately not all friendships can rise to the love of men and women, Lin Chu, who married into the Qin family, and Qin Zhenhai are not in harmony with each other, and they are still in and out of the army all the year round as when they were unmarried, and due to various changes, they are no longer as lively as they were when they were young; Qin Zhenhai didn't have much love for Lin Chu, he had his favorite second-room lady Gu, and a dancing girl who was not very favored but had given birth to his eldest son a year before Lin Chu passed the door.

However, because of the friendship between the two since childhood, they always worked together in the army before and after marriage, but they also cherished each other and appreciated each other, and they got along quite harmoniously.

If you live in peace like this, you may be able to live this life in peace, but some people are not happy.

So far, they can't conclude who calculated that day that he and his wife drank the added wine, based on unfounded speculation, about the queen mother's handiwork, the two have the fact of husband and wife, and the peace and quiet that has been carefully maintained since then has finally been broken.

He and Lin Chu were both unwilling to face the embarrassment of being calculated, but only this time Lin Chu was pregnant, which made the originally peaceful relationship between the two husband and wife worse, and after six years of marriage, Lin Chu, the wife and mother-in-law, gave birth to a son-in-law, Qin Xun, the third son of the general's house.

In the years when Qin Xun was still young, Qin Zhenhai couldn't face this child, every time he saw him, he had to recall the embarrassing past he didn't want to recall, he didn't want to get close to this child, and he didn't even want to see him, but this child was the only one who came out, and his grandfather was Lin Tian, the prince of Dingguo who fought against his father, and even because of his old feelings, he was even treated well by the emperor, so it was reasonable, he had to love this child.
