At that time, Qin Xun was not able to figure out the turbulent undercurrent of such banquets that seemed to be pushing cups and changing lamps, but he couldn't understand why Mr. Guangling was clearly prone to wine rash at that time, but he couldn't shirk drinking a glass of toasts from his colleagues, until the last young third prince Qi Jing couldn't see it, and went to stop the toasting officials led by Yan Binye, and the matter was stopped, and after that, Xi Guangling did have a rash and fever and was sick for many days, and the early dynasty and the imperial library were absent.

Later, Qin Xun gradually became sensible, and when he recalled this matter, he figured out the meaning, which is a toast, it is clearly a forced wine, and he covered a smile with the meaning of drinking at the banquet, and vented his grievances in the past when he was communicating in the officialdom with the unreasonable and rude words of "giving face" and "accompanying a meaning".

Originally, if there was no Xi Guangling who was called to enter Beijing from the south of the Yangtze River, the post of Shangshuling would most likely fall on the head of the old Shangshu who had served in the original six departments for many years, and choose one of them to be promoted, but out of thin air, Xi Guangling, who had just entered Chang'an, was still an ignorant boy of sixteen years old, so he crossed the Chang'an court and had been crawling in the court for many years, and led one of the six departments, which was the secretary of the Ministry of Rites, and even promoted to the head of the six departments at the age of twenty and crown, which somewhat swept the face of the six old ministers. It is conceivable that some of the dissatisfied ministers in the court treated Xi Guangling with yin and yang, especially Yan Binye, who has always been conceited and conceited, and he had to take advantage of this situation to deliberately toss this young scholar's physique prone to alcohol rash, and almost forced him to shirk his toast.

Qin Xun asked: "I never thought to ask, after Mr. Guangling resigned, who is in office now?" ”

"Qu Boyong's nephew, Qu Lingjun."

Qin Xun laughed: "Speaking of which, this right-hand minister Qu Boyong is the person who treats Qu Zi the most among the people I have seen when I grow up, and I don't know if it is because of his 'Qu' surname pronounced like 'Qu', he named his children and nephews in the family seems to be taking more from Qu Zi's work, and I heard that Chu Changqin was originally named 'Chu Ci' The word was also given by his maternal grandfather." ”

In the first few years of Xi Guangling's arrival in Chang'an, the young people who were privately called "ignorant boys" by these six old ministers were quite appreciative, but after Xi Guangling did not intend to give the word "spirituality" to his student Qi Jing, Qu Boyong was unhappy and gradually became distracted from him.

The so-called "spirituality", when it came out of Qu Zi's mouth, it meant King Chu Huai, and now it is in the world, and everyone knows that this word implies the meaning of the monarch, Xi Guangling said that the three princes who are not yet ten years old return to the city "spiritually", which means, obviously do not need to think too much.

Qu Boyong, the right minister who likes his eldest grandson Qi Xuan to succeed him, naturally can't hear this.

Qin Xun said again: "The children of the Qu family are appointed to the position of Shangshuling, in the end, there is Qu Boyong in charge, I think no one dares to embarrass Qu Lingjun, at the beginning, these people were not bullying Mr. Guangling in Chang'an, and they were not familiar with the place of life in Chang'an, and now they are also bullying Young Master Yan with a gentle temperament, tsk, the way of the world, they are all good and bullied." ”

Qi Jing covered his hand and motioned for him to get up with him: "You and I will go to relieve the siege, and I will pretend not to make a sound, so I will."

You have to stop you from talking. After speaking, he didn't forget to add a sentence to remind him, "Leave some room for words, don't give people face." ”

"You know me." Qin Xun replied with a grin.

However, the two of them approached, and the long figure in dark clothes shook in front of the person first, and took away the wine cup that Yan Yili held in his hand, and drank it all with a raised head, with a handsome and uncast face and an idle smile: "Mr. Young Master has a slight amount of wine and can't drink too much, and a few colleagues are lively enough, if you haven't had fun, the chief can accompany the teacher." ”

Yan Binye observed his color, and knew that he was not presumptuous, so he had to smile and politely say a few words of "Qin Shangshu", and found an excuse to leave with two or three colleagues.

As soon as the few people led by Yan Binye left, Qin Xun and Qi Jing stepped forward to salute Yanyi, Qin Xun said, "Young Master has been absent for a long time", Qi Jing still had to laugh silently.

Yan Yili's face was already drunk, and he was still able to maintain his demeanor, and returned the salute with a smile, saying that the son of Weizhi had faded a lot of childishness, but when he straightened up after the ceremony, his center of gravity was unbalanced and had the tendency to fall, and the student beside him who had just blocked the wine for him did not shy away from taking the belt into his arms.

"Sir, be careful." Qin Huai said warmly.

Qin Xun let out a "oh yo" with great interest in his heart.

"It's too much to drink, and I'm smiling." Yan Yili's face was embarrassed, and she gently pushed Qin Huai's shoulder to refuse, "Zichang, Mr. stand firm, don't let people see jokes." ”

"Don't force it, I'll send you back." Drunk and unable to do anything, Yan Yili's rejection of Qin Huai didn't pay attention to it at all, he held his husband's waist unmoving.

Qin Xun smiled and turned his head to pinch Qi Jing's chin, and said meaningfully: "Cousin, haven't I talked to you about it?" When I came back to Chang'an, my brother at home taught me that I couldn't learn from him, and he didn't have a companion. ”

Thinking about who he said this to, Qi Jing couldn't hold back a smile, and the corners of his lips rose even more.

Qin Huai glanced over as he walked away with Yan Yili: "Your brother is better than you." ”

Qin Xun almost immediately understood what the word "out" meant by the elder brother, and pointed to the young master in the eldest brother's arms, whose eyes were already half-closed, and only smiled with his mouth without making a sound: "You are bullying people to be honest!" ”

When Qin Huai left the scene with Yan Yili half-hugging and half-supporting, Qin Xun turned around and raised his hand to squeeze Qi Jing's neckline: "He has a future, you also have a talent, but I don't have a future, huh...... Young Master Yan also ......, "In the end, it is the teacher commander, even if he ridicules him, it is difficult to say "unproductive", so he only laughed twice and hid the words.

Qi Jing held his hand over his chest: "What do you mean?" The word "out of breath" that he said in such a tone naturally did not mean the original meaning.

Qin Xun tilted his head slightly and asked him, "Qi Jing, do I look like a girl?" ”

Qi Jing was inexplicable, stroked his eyebrows and answered truthfully: "At first glance, there are indeed some women, if you look closely, Ah Xun's appearance is still bright, why do you ask?" ”

"Alas, I was suddenly thinking, the eldest brother and I are the same as each other, and he is a bit of a woman, why is he the one who has a future in Young Master Yan, and I am not a good one in your place?"

Qi Jingfu opened his mind like a heart, and said with a smile: "This meaning should not mean ......?"

Qin Xun leaned into his ear and chuckled: "Let's be more straightforward when I go back at night." ”

After that, relying on Qi Jing to pretend to be dumb and difficult to stop, Qin Xun wantonly dealt with the official ladies who were willing to talk to His Royal Highness.

"His Royal Highness wants to say that this young lady has very beautiful eyebrows, which is very similar to the charm of his sweetheart."

"The Third Highness means that what the young lady said coincides with what His Highness's sweetheart used to talk about."

"Miss's dress today is similar to what the three highnesses' sweethearts wore in the past, alas, it makes your highness miss his sweetheart."

……

Qin Xun shook the folding fan with a smile: "You young ladies still have gossip, you can answer the words on behalf of the Third Highness, and it is clear what Your Highness thinks." ”

A group of daughters of the official family in the strange smile of the third prince of Qin's pleasure and annoyance, and the helpless look of the third highness somehow holding his forehead, they all left after a while, thinking that in a few days, the daughters and celebrities in Chang'an City with the idea of the three highnesses will all know that the three highnesses have returned to the city all day long, and there is a beautiful woman who has been thinking about the dragon all day long.

Most of the people in the banquet hall were scattered, Qin Xun was about to pull Qi Jing back to Jingyang Palace, and his little nephew Qin Shang suddenly approached, and everyone in the Qin family would go home, and his father asked him to ask the third uncle if he wanted to return home together.

"Don't go back, go back and tell your father and grandfather that I will stay in the palace for a few more days." Qin Xun very easily closed the folding fan and knocked on the little nephew's head.

Qin Shang covered his head with his hands and protested: "The third uncle can't always knock on Shang'er's head, Shang'er is a boy, you have to grow tall, and if you are knocked too much by the third uncle, you won't grow tall." ”

Since Qin Xun returned to Chang'an, Qin Shang knew him, Qin Xun treated him and punished him, and later coaxed him many times, but in just ten days, this child has been able to unconsciously play a coquettish relationship with him.

Remembering to eat or not to fight is actually a very happy kind of heart.

Qin Xun hurriedly removed the fan and raised his other hand to touch him: "Yes, the third uncle will not knock in the future." Thinking of the situation of Qin Huai and Yan Yili, he said meaningfully, "Shang'er, the future of the Qin family can only be handed over to you and your fourth uncle, you have to be promising...... Well, the third uncle is talking about being serious! ”

Qin Shang looked at him in confusion.

Qi Jing interrupted him funny: "Okay, you do something serious first, the family wants to go back, do you want to accompany this child to go over and give him a ride?" ”

Qin Shang's eyes widened: "They all said that the third uncle was sick and couldn't speak!" ”

Qi Jing: "......" didn't care for a while in front of the children.

Qin Xun hurriedly said: "He can make a little noise after resting all night, but he can't use his voice too much." He turned back to Qi Jing and said, "No, if you have anything to give to your family under the eaves, I'll go and say a few words to Uncle Wang of Jinyang." ”

"Don't say anything like that." Qi Jing slapped his forehead and glanced at Yin Zijin, the king of Jinyang, who was drinking alone in the small pavilion not far away, "Well, if you want to go to find Uncle Jinyang Wang, I will send one to you in the Qin family?" ”

Qin Xun glanced at Qin Shang, and his heart suddenly pinched

put Qi Jing's earlobe and laughed softly: "Okay, third uncle." ”

Qi Jing's breath stagnated: "Don't scream!" ”

Qin Xun laughed and threw Qin Shang to him, and went to the small pavilion to ask Uncle Wang of Jinyang for wine.

"Why is Uncle Wang sitting here alone?"

Yin Zijin handed him the small unopened wine jar beside him: "Drink freely, save yourself from being like your young master Yan, who is poured wine into his throat and eyes." ”

Qin Xun took the wine jar and slapped it open, and took a sip from the jar: "It turns out that Uncle Wang is looking at it." ”

Yin Zijin sneered: "Look at a lot, I didn't want to receive the official position rewarded by His Majesty the Emperor at the beginning, it's just that I'm too lazy to deal with these ghost fetus rats, and I don't look forward to soaring, just be happy." Seeing him holding the wine jar greedily, he couldn't help but say, "What, you look like this, didn't you drink enough at the banquet?" ”

"Why?" Qin Xun hugged the wine jar and leaned on the pavilion pillar, "I didn't even take a sip, Qi Jing didn't let me drink it, saying that I just drank some Jiangnan thin wine in the past, and the wine offered at the banquet was too strong, and I couldn't drink it when I was young." ”

Yin Zijin took back the wine jar in his hand: "You said it earlier, I knew that Guicheng would not give you wine, and Uncle Wang would not drink it from you, so that the kid would come back and blame me." ”

"Don't!" Qin Xun shook his body and said with a flattering smile, "Okay Uncle Wang, didn't I come to your place to ask you for two sips of wine while he was not there, Uncle Wang hurt me once, okay?" ”

Yin Zijin shook his head and sat back on the pavilion stool with a smile.

"Speaking of which, I just saw my eldest brother blocking the wine for Young Master Yan, and I remembered that before the banquet, I didn't finish talking to Uncle Wang, and my cousin rushed over after an accident." Qin Xun raised the altar and took another sip, squinting at the mellow strength of the palace banquet, "Uncle Wang asked me if I didn't want to see my great-grandfather Yin, but I still didn't want to see him." I haven't seen him, I don't know him, I only know a little about him from the world, so I can't talk about him too much, but I think that the only thing I don't want to see is that I don't think he has the ability to protect what he cares about. The beauty of the country, he chose the beauty, then he should at least protect the beauty Anping. Selfishly, he didn't hesitate to lose the country, so I didn't blame him for losing the country, but he put on the description that he loved the beauty and didn't love the country, but after his beauty was used for pleasure, because he had no ability, the beauty ended up being burned alive with him, and I looked down on him. ”
