"Naturally, I won't tell him, I don't need to say it, how old-fashioned he is." Qin Xun waved his hand.

After a moment of silence, Lin Chu glanced back and forth between the intimate descriptions of the two of them, and then said after pondering: "Then, who is more ...... between you two on weekdays Got the upper hand? ”

Qin Xun was stunned for a moment, and quickly reacted that his mother's so-called "upper hand" was definitely not the meaning of "under the body" in the meat words of their brothers and friends, and he laughed: "Of course it's me, he spoils me." ”

Qi Jing lifted the teapot to add tea to Lin Chu: "He is young, I am used to it." ”

"How young can you be, it's just a year younger than you." Lin Chu sighed, and glanced at his son who was paralyzed on Qi Jing's body like a boneless with a slight dissatisfaction, "I know what kind of character he has, when you return to the city, you don't have to indulge him too much, you still have to teach him a lesson, don't spoil him to the point of lawlessness, you are the most spoiled in the family." ”

Qi Jing smiled and handed over a food box: "I didn't have time to visit my mother during the Mid-Autumn Festival a while ago, and today I brought some food from the court banquet to each family, and Fang Zi still brought it back from Jiangnan, and my mother tasted it." ”

Qin Xun rubbed his chin and looked at the food box he handed to the opposite side and smiled without saying a word, sighing in his heart that he hadn't thought about such a detail, Qi Jing was really delicate and thoughtful.

Lin Chu took the food box, but he remembered something for a moment, and said to Qin Xun: "You tossed this food This morning, my mother heard your grandfather mention it, and I heard that you made a tribute to your grandfather, and your grandfather said that you are not skilled in your craft, either you are good at practicing, or," Lin Chu thought about it, and still told his son in his father-in-law's original words, "Or don't be ashamed." ”

Qin Xun lazily and slightly unconvinced replied, "Okay", Xindao originally sent out the pro-system that was to trick his father, who knew that it was transferred to his grandfather by mistake, but according to this statement, his grandfather actually opened the food box seriously, but I don't know whether he just glanced at it or reluctantly tasted it.

In the remaining afternoon of Shanglin Yuan, Qin Xun couldn't stay idle in the house, and pulled Qi Jing to practice riding and archery, while telling Qi Jing that his grandfather's training had passed today, and at the same time pulled him to the horse farm to see the dark clouds and snow that he picked today.

Qi Jing led the dark clouds out of the stable, stroking its mane with a smile, and the dark clouds and snow were actually intimate to rub his hands: "When I came to Shanglin Yuan before going to Jiangnan, I happened to see this batch of newly tamed horses, guessing that if you are asked to choose, you must like this dark clouds and snow, and Qi Buxuan also liked it before, and wanted to ask his father to raise it as a mount, but before he spoke, I asked for it first, and if you like it, it will be yours." ”

Qin Xun immediately jumped up slightly and threw himself into his arms, hugged him, and snorted loudly on his lips.

"Imperial brother, cousin—" The girl's voice was startled, and even the tail note was tinged with a fluttering spike and trembling.

Qi Jing and Qin Xun looked over their heads in unison, and saw Qi Yao pointing at the two of them with their mouths open and speechless, and the young general beside him, who had never been surprised, was also stunned.

Qi Jing calmly hugged Qin Xun without moving, Qin Xun did not panic, and even tilted his head against Qi Jing's forehead more affectionately, and said to the two of them with a smile: "You."

Why don't you come here to practice riding and archery? ”

Tang Conghald said: "The princess wants to ride a horse, and she came to lead the horse with her humble accompaniment, but I don't know where the horse supervisor has gone here?" ”

Qi Jing said: "I just accompanied Weizhi to pick a horse, and he came to have fun, so he didn't have to bother the horse supervisor to accompany him, so he was allowed to rest beside him." ”

"I followed Brother Halberd and led the horse to the side, so that I wouldn't huddle with you to play." Qi Yao took the arm of the halberd, and saw that Qin Xun had always hugged Qi Jing in front of them and had no intention of coming down, she couldn't help but say again, "Cousin, you loved to kiss and hug the imperial brother when you were a child, just forget it, how old are you now, I don't want to be coquettish with the imperial brother anymore, and you are not afraid of people laughing at you." Seeing this situation, Her Royal Highness the Princess, who was naïve and ignorant, did not have the consciousness of a man, and after being surprised, she naturally said that her cousin, who had been away from Beijing for many years, had a young heart and had not yet grown up.

Qin Xun's eyes were even more bent, and he smacked on Qi Jing's lips as if he was playful, and the young general, who was more than ten years old, looked away uncomfortably, Qin Xun learned her daughter's delicate tone under Qi Yao's simple gaze: "You are a girl's family, of course you grow up with your imperial brother and you don't kiss each other, I am a man and I don't pay much attention to it, I have a good relationship with Brother Guicheng, I want to play with Brother Guicheng here." ”

Qi Jing couldn't hold back, he laughed out loud with a "poof", and then quickly retracted his expression, hugged Qin Xun who was hanging on his body more steadily, and said to his sister with a shallow smile: "It's okay, he's still young." ”

How do you say such a thing without blushing and heartbeat, he is two years older than your sister and me! Qi Yao almost blurted out, but Tang Congji, who was holding her arm, coughed lightly, and moved her arm to remind her: "Princess, can you still lead the horse?" ”

With his reminder, Qi Yao didn't want to delay much in the place where he was accustomed to seeing his intimate brother and cousin since he was a child, and happily led the pony he was used to riding in Shanglin Yuan and left with the halberd.

"Enough fun?" Qi Jing lifted his arm vigorously in this posture of holding him, and lifted him to sit on the back of the dark clouds and snow.

"I'm still young, and my brother wants to play with me more." Qin Xun sat on the back of the horse, holding Qi Jing's hands with both hands and not letting go.

"Okay, you still learn to speak at the little girl's house, are you ashamed?" Qi Jing was amused, and then he also lifted the horse, and the movement of holding the reins took advantage of the situation and hugged Qin Xun, who was sitting in front of him, into his arms, "You have been in Jinghong Villa for six years, not to mention the side, why is it not even good to learn how to ride a horse?" Fortunately, you still remember the riding and archery practice in Chang'an when you were a child, otherwise you shouldn't have thrown yourself out of the way under the guidance of An Guogong today? ”

Qin Xun touched the quiver with a full pocket hanging next to the horse's neck: "So you are idle and follow the Taoism to teach me to ride and shoot?" ”

Qi Jing drove the horse to set off: "Study seriously." ”

He also walked into the forest where his grandfather took him to shuttle, but this time Qin Xun was in a very comfortable mood, and when he was still driving the horse steadily, he suddenly smiled and asked the person behind him: "Qi Jing, do you think I can beat you?" ”

"Beat it."

"Really?"

"Nature." How could he make a move on him, he would definitely not fight back and let him fight as much as he wanted, Qi Jing smiled

smiled, held his hand and guided him to set up arrows and bow to prepare for hunting, "Don't be distracted, ride and shoot, sit down first." ”

Along the way, no matter how talented Qin Xun is, this kind of thing that must be practiced step by step makes perfect is not something that Qi Jing taught him to master overnight, Qi Jing didn't expect to make up for all the things he had been slacking off for six years in one afternoon, most of them still had the rare idea of having fun with him, Qin Xun also picked up three or four birds and rabbits they shot and threw them into the quiver that originally contained arrows on the horse's neck, and said that he would hand it over to the cook in Shanglin Yuan to cook it after he went back, and add food to satisfy his hunger at dinner.

The two rode together, drove the horse gently, and walked to the foot of a few autumn locust trees planted tightly, and the snow-white four hooves of the horse stepped on the pale yellow stamens spread all over the ground, Qin Xun looked up at the crown of the autumn locust with lush branches and leaves and clusters of yellow stamens, and followed this posture to lie loosely into Qi Jing's warm arms behind him, a light fragrance gently fell on his cheeks, he raised his hand to brush it away, and said with a smile: "Huaihua Huang, busy with your son, Your Majesty asked you to rest in the palace for a while and don't ask about the court, but I don't think you will be obedient and let go of the government, Calculating that these days, the people on the list of states and counties are probably coming to Chang'an, and you have everything in order? ”

"Don't worry." Qi Jing lifted up and landed on the horseback in front of him, and the locust tree on the hem of his clothes was rolled out and looked at it, "The matter of the imperial examination belongs to the Ministry of Rites, and the new head of the Ministry of Rites is the secretary, which is a lot more convenient for us to select the officials of the court and return them to the command." However, everyone knows that now the Ministry of Rites belongs to us, and when the chief acts, he has to hold a bowl of water more or less, saving people from talking. I have interfered a lot in the matter of judging and transferring officials, and this palace test is to select the meritocracy, and the party is also supplemented, and we will accept it when we see it. ”

Although as a member of the royal family, he is always born or later to be more mentally mature than ordinary people, but Qi Jing's seventeen-year-old age is indeed not very big, and he is not even an adult, but he is smart and calm, and his actions are at least ninety percent grasped before he moves, and the family forces behind him, including Qin Xun, who is closest to him, never need to worry too much about him.

He pondered for a while, and suddenly asked: "The martial champion when I left Beijing was the Guan Yannian who was a teacher of the villa, is he married now?" ”

"Not yet." Qi Jing responded and gave him a few more words of information about this person, "Guan Yan is not very old, he was the same age as you when he tried to win the championship in the Wuju Palace, and now he is only twenty-two, so he is not in a hurry to start a family." ”

Qin Xun thought thoughtfully: "After the new round of imperial examinations this year, new talents will be waiting for their posts, I heard that Guan Yannian has served the dynasty in the past, but he will also be promoted?" ”

"If nothing else, it will be upgraded." Qi Jing pulled the reins and turned the horse's head and walked back slowly, "How do you ask him?" ”

Qin Xun said with a smile: "It's not that you mention the imperial examination, when you think of the champion, you think of him." I don't know why, I often confuse the 'champion' with the 'horse' when I think about it, Xu is always a beautiful woman who loves talents, and the champion of the amazing high school is often favored by the princess of the right age, and is recruited by the royal family, I thought that even if Guan Yannian didn't marry any princess, he would marry everyone back, but Xu is

It's true that because he's still young, he's not in a hurry to start a family. Qin Xun listened to the rhythmic sound of the horse's hooves stepping on the dry mud under the seat, and pointed out, "Qi Jing, Zhaoyang is fourteen years old, and he will be married next year, is your father really willing to marry her to Tang Cong Halberd according to her wishes?" ”

"Actually, I can't say for sure." The relaxed pleasure when the two of them didn't come back on their return trip, in the end, when they talked about serious things, their tones were a lot more stable, "My father does love Zhaoyang, and because of this, Zhaoyang's marriage is sloppy, how many pairs of eyes are staring, and I am not sure whether my father will really take Zhaoyang Xu Peitang from the halberd, but my only certainty is that even if he wants so, he will not marry her early next year in Zhaoyang, and it will drag on for a few years. He wasn't willing to give up on that sooner rather than later. ”

"I just said that I often confuse 'champion' with 'horse', can you count with me, now in addition to Zhaoyang, there are princesses of marriageable age under your father's knees, what is the mother? Especially, the princess Showa who I only have a few faces, the one from the queen, is called ...... Qi Shan? At the beginning, she was the same age as you and me, but now she is always the right age. ”
