Volume 1 Whose Family Is Young and Romantic 26 Morning Talk (2)
Lu Feng imagined the cool touch of the snake writhing in the clothes behind his back, and couldn't help but shiver for a moment, thinking that Xiao Qin Xun, who was only seven years old at the time, was definitely scared.
It's no wonder that he is afraid of snakes, and he will even bypass things like snakes when he sees them. No, it's not so much fear, it's more accurate to say disgust from his usual behavior.
However, the eight-year-old little Qi Jing's emergency response was unexpectedly calm, which made Lu Feng a little admired.
No wonder the two of them have such a good relationship.
"And then?" Lu Feng asked.
"Later, I got the letter, asked my husband for leave, went over from the next door, and took Weizhi home. Oh, I didn't tell you, although I also studied at the Imperial Library, but I am much older, and I am with a different gentleman, and I am not with them. Qin Huai saw that when he heard this, he unconsciously shrank into the quilt a few times, and covered it on his shoulder, "Although it is a non-venomous snake, the wound is not very serious, in the end, it is still injured and frightened, the child's family, after returning home, the wound is a little inflamed, and it burned, and I didn't go to the Imperial Library for several days." When the emperor learned about this, he was grounded and sent a physician and gave some things to his home to appease him. ”
Lu Feng frowned, although he felt that the punishment of grounding was a bit light for a child who could commit such a vicious act at the age of five, and it was not necessarily called his long memory, but in the end, he was the emperor's son, so he would not ask someone to whip up the noble prince.
Qin Huai looked at his expression and knew that he thought that the matter was over, so he deliberately dragged out his voice: "Later, ......"
"And later?" Lu Feng was surprised.
"Naturally."
"And what about the rest of the day?" Lu Feng asked anxiously.
Qin Huai felt like he was telling a bedtime story to a child, and couldn't help but bend the corners of his lips, but unfortunately the story was not so beautiful.
"Later, Weizhi was sick for a few days, and after he recovered, I took him to the Imperial Library in the morning, and was stopped by the queen's people as soon as I entered the palace gate."
"Queen? Is it the mother of the Four Princes? Is she making trouble for you? ”
"yes."
Today's queen is not the original queen, the original queen is Qu Peilan, the daughter of Qu Boyong, the right minister, Queen Qu gave birth to Bai Zhaoyi's front and back feet, Bai Zhaoyi gave birth to the third prince Qi Jingjin as a concubine, but Queen Qu died in childbirth a few days later. There is no concubine in Daqi, the queen dies, and after the expiration of the three-year filial piety period, many people think that the successor to the queen's throne will be Bai Shufei, who has the highest rank among the concubines in the palace at that time and has just given birth to Princess Zhaoyang, but the emperor misses the first queen, and directly promoted the first queen's sister-in-law Qu Xianfei, who also gave birth to the fourth prince Qi Lang's right concubine, to succeed the queen.
Now the queen's name is called Zhefang, Zizi Fang's daughter was born, not as good as her sister, and she was not favored by the emperor as Bai Jiang as soon as she entered the palace.
And Qi Lang has been a queen since she was born, and she has been spoiled since she was a child, and she is naturally not as good as her two siblings, and she is quite spoiled and willful.
I don't know if it's because she gave birth to Qi Langjin as the queen, and the current queen is also doting on this son, and she was dissatisfied with Qi Jing and Qin Xun in the imperial library early in the morning for suppressing her son, and this time because of the dispute with Qin Xun, her Lang'er was punished and wronged, of course the queen couldn't swallow this breath.
If you want to find trouble, you will naturally not say it openly, the queen's people politely want to invite the third prince of Qin to the Jiaofang Palace, the queen of the Tao has heard a little about the fight between the fourth highness and the third prince of Qin a few days ago, and she has already punished the fourth highness, and wants to invite the third prince of Qin to go and see it, so as to apologize.
"The queen calls this a fight?" Lu Feng frowned fiercely, "Did Weizhi go with them?" ”
Qin Huai nodded and sighed, "When I was fourteen years old, I didn't have the ability to deal with them. ”
At the age of fourteen, Qin Huai was not the chief of Qin Zi who would become famous in Beijing with a "Chang'an Fu" in the future, at that time he was just the son of a dancing concubine of the general Qin Zhenhai, and he had the title of the eldest son to get the Qin family to occasionally take a look, and he couldn't say anything outside.
He couldn't speak, but he knew that Qi Jing could speak. So as soon as Qin Xun left with the queen's subordinates to go to the Jiaofang Palace, Qin Huai hurried to the Imperial Library to find Qi Jing, Qi Jing didn't even have time to tell the fake after hearing it, so he hurried to the Jiaofang Hall with Qin Huai, Qin Huai couldn't get in, so he waited for Qi Jing to take Qin Xun out outside the Jiaofang Palace.
On Qin Xun's side, after being brought in front of the queen of Jiaofang Palace, the queen fiddled with her nails painted with bright red Kodan, and the smile on her face made Qin Xun feel uncomfortable.
The queen said some words of apology to Qin Xun, a seven-year-old child, and called Qi Lang to apologize to him, so she said that she had prepared a snack for Qin Xun in order to apologize, and the friends ate snacks together and talked about getting back together.
Qin Xun looked at the same smile on the faces of the queen and Qi Lang, and his first reaction was that the snack was poisonous, and the queen wanted to poison him.
In fact, it's much worse.
As soon as the cover of the dinner plate was opened by the palace maid, a foul smell hit her face, and where was the dim sum on the plate, it was the little snake a few days ago!
The serpent's carcass was coiled up in a dish, and after a few days it was partially decomposed, and the stench emanated from the rotting part.
Qin Xun's back was numb, frightened and disgusting, but he suddenly felt that someone's hand on his back was against his shoulder and the back of his head was trying to press him on the dead snake dinner plate, shouting while struggling desperately.
The strength of a child is not comparable to that of an adult, Qin Xun saw that his face was getting closer and closer to the dinner plate, and he was about to stick to the half-rotten body of the dead snake, and the dead snake's half-open eyes were close at hand, as if staring at him, he trembled with horror, and finally heard the palace people announce that the third prince was coming at the last moment.
The hand behind him suddenly let go, Qin Xun almost fell off the stool, and rushed to the door of the Jiaofang Hall to crash into Qi Jing's arms, who had just entered the door.
Qi Jing was eight years old but unusually calm and old, and he was polite with the queen several times, and the queen smirked and said that the two little playmates were unhappy by a snake because they were naughty, so they put the corpse of the snake in front of the two to admonish them, teaching them to be harmonious and friendly in the future.
Qin Xun hugged Qi Jing tightly and didn't let go, whimpering vigorously and screaming not to eat to go home and leave quickly, Qi Jing protected him and said that he was sick and had not yet recovered, so please take care of the queen, and take him out of the Jiaofang Palace for Qin Huai to take back to the house.
The next day, Qin Xun and his mother Lin Chu came back from the barracks for this matter, and directly approached the emperor to explain, this time the emperor really punished Qi Lang by beating and kneeling and grounding, and the queen of the grounding made him think. The queen's grounding and the young prince's grounding are not of the same nature, and the emperor is really ruthless to punish him.
After that, Qin Xun had nightmares for several days in a row, and he couldn't sleep well every night, and it didn't work for anyone to accompany him at home, so he had to send him to live with Qi Jing in the Jingyang Hall of Weiyang Palace, and slept with Qi Jing every night, which slowly got better.
Lu Feng rubbed the goosebumps on his arm, and didn't care about why the emperor really bothered to punish him after Lin Chu came to the door, just thinking that if he was very close to the eyes of the rotten dead snake at that time, he would definitely have nightmares if he was replaced by him, this is simply a psychological shadow for a lifetime.
"Zichang, if there is no General Lin and the emperor to explain, this matter ...... How will it end? Lu Feng suddenly felt that he could not expect to hear something that he liked too much.
"There is nothing bad to end with, Weizhi and Qi Buxuan will be classified as children fighting, as for the queen, she is a woman, and it is inappropriate for a man to come forward to settle the conflict between the children, otherwise why do you think it is General Lin who goes to discuss with the emperor instead of my father?" Qin Huai turned his head to look at the already clear sky outside the window, then looked back at Lu Feng and continued, "As for the resentment in the hearts of the elders caused by this incident, it will be vented in the court game in the form of the Qin family's Lin family and the Qu family's respective families. Arbitrarily, you don't have to look at me with this expression, I can tell you with certainty that after this matter, whether it is against Weizhi or Qi, the two forces standing behind the two of them will most likely explain how they will perfectly deal with this kind of incident in the future, for example, our family later talked to Weizhi about Mu Xiufeng's truth, so that it can be restrained and suppressed at least not to interfere with a few princes. No one, almost no one, cared more about how frightened he was in the matter. Things like this are very common in Chang'an, who can take care of so much. Arbitrarily, this is our Chang'an. ”
What kind of tiger and wolf land is your Chang'an!
Lu Feng felt a chill early in the late summer season: "Why, being outstanding should be a good thing, why should it be a mistake to put pressure on others because of the jealousy of others?" It's not right, it doesn't make sense. ”
"Many things don't make sense based on reason, just like the one of the Ninety-Five, who can reason with him? He's the truth. Arbitrary, this is helpless, you, me, Weizhi, and Guicheng, none of them are helpless. I'm actually quite envious of Weizhi's past six years, his six years here have really been quite quiet. Qin Huai got up and opened the door a person's width, "It's already dawn, if you don't sleep, wash up." ”
