Qin Xun spread his hands generously: "Where do you need to be curious, if I guessed correctly, what is the entourage next to Prince Xiliao, what is Ah Shu, in fact, it is his own sister, Princess Xiliao, right?" I don't know which princess it is, Murong Shu or Murong De, but looking at her actions at today's banquet, the princess of the other family clearly came to you, and your father came to talk to you, of course, to ask if you were willing to accept the favor of this beauty. ”

His words were unconsciously sour, and Qi Jing smiled: "This is still vinegar, how do you want me to coax me this time?" ”

Qin Xun threw away the bowl, wiped his mouth with a handkerchief and threw it away, and left the table: "It's not good to coax." ”

Qi Jing was helpless: "Don't make trouble, leave before you finish eating?" ”

"I won't eat it." I'm full of gas.

He lost the bowl, Qi Jing couldn't eat at the dinner table alone, and after calling the palace maid to clean up the dishes and order some trivial things, he stepped into the inner room and saw Qin Xun rolling on the bed with a pillow.

Qin Xun likes soft pillows, doesn't like the kind of boxy long hard pillows, feels that it is difficult to sleep, Qi Jing doesn't pick himself, everything is according to his preferences, so the pillows in Jingyang Hall are silk satin pillowcases embroidered on a white background filled with soft cotton cores, and the pillows on the bed in the inner room are a long strip of pillows shared by the two of them, and the length of the whole vertical is almost as high as one person.

Hearing the sound of Qi Jing pushing the door in, Qin Xun stopped his movements and kept a pressure in his arms

The posture on the pillow, facing inward, is not intended to pay attention to people.

Qi Jing sat on the edge of the bed and slapped his upturned ass in a funny position: "Okay, don't bully the pillow, can you replace the pillow with me?" ”

Qin Xun muffled: "I don't want you, the pillow is softer than you, you are too hard." ”

Qi Jing let out an "oh", and the tail note was teasingly raised.

Qin Xun originally meant to mean that Qi Jing, a man who has been practicing martial arts all year round, has the hardness of his muscles no matter whether he touches or lies down, and when he heard him say such an "oh", he suddenly realized that there was some ambiguity in his words, and turned his head to glare at him in annoyance.

Qi Jing continued to tease him, and slapped Fang Cai on the buttocks that felt quite good: "But you like me more than you like pillows, don't you?" He effortlessly pulled down Qin Xun, who was pressing on the pillow, pulled out the pillow and threw it aside, and stretched out his hand to signal Qin Xun to come over, "I'll hold you." ”

Qin Xun got up and pressed him to the bed, rode on his waist and abdomen, supported his arms on both sides of his shoulders, and said viciously: "I want to be on top!" ”

Qi Jing smiled and hugged his waist: "Okay." ”

In fact, Qin Xun's so-called "on top" is to press Qi Jing lying on him, he hummed and chirped to adjust a comfortable posture, his head rested on Qi Jing's chest, listening to the slow rhythm of the heartbeat in his chest, and his back was gently soothed by Qi Jing's hand.

He was satisfied, and said generously: "Okay, you can explain." ”

"Thank you." Qi Jing chuckled.

If the princess of Xiliao marries into Daqi, the emperor has the intention to let Qi Jing marry, not just because the emperor wants Qi Jing to increase his power in the court by virtue of his in-laws with Xiliao, the most important point is that the emperor is most confident in Qi Jing's control of the princess of Xiliao into Qi.

Or to be more accurate, the emperor's knees are now a marriageable prince, barely counted to a Qi Lang who will turn fifteen this year, that is, the four princes he divided last year, among these four sons, can control the "Xiliao Princess" This character who will be marked as restless in the territory of Daqi, the emperor can only trust the second son Qi Hao and the third son Qi Jing, Qi Xuan is soft and cowardly, Qi Lang is young and impetuous, but if the Xiliao princess who marries is shrewd, neither of them can play with her.

And between Qi Jue and Qi Jing, it is obvious that Western Liao will not like Qi Jue, after all, the Western Liao people who have little contact with each other are not very clear about the second prince of Great Qi Ruoyu's heart, they will only understand that the second prince is not competitive in the politics of Great Qi, and the Western Liao, who originally made the sincerity of the prince of Western Liao to marry the princess of Great Qi, will naturally ask Daqi to return the same sincerity, if the prince of Great Qi marries the princess of Western Liao, Western Liao will inevitably choose a prince with a similar position to the "Prince of Western Liao".

The candidate favored by Western Liao was either Qi Xuan or Qi Jing, and the emperor's favorite among them was obviously Qi Jing.

Qin Xun pillowed on Qi Jing's chest and said faintly: "You must have ten thousand reasons to reject your father and Xiliao." ”

Qi Jing said "um", and then smiled: "Since you know everything, what kind of temper are you still making?" ”

Qin Xun exploded all of a sudden, slightly

Slightly propped up his upper body and looked at him: "I know why I can't lose my temper, I just want to be angry, what's wrong, I have nothing to do, I can't be angry, I understand, I fell out of favor again, you dislike me, ......"

Qi Jing has long been accustomed to his intermittent vexatious trouble, not to mention that Qin Xun's unreasonable troublemaking is not the kind of hysterical shrew scolding the street, but blowing up his hair and opening his eyes, and crying in a soft voice, except for being amused, Qi Jing will not be impatient at all.

"Mmmmmm, okay, okay, you can do whatever you want, it's all my fault, it's all my fault, it's all my fault, okay?" Qi Jing couldn't help but laugh and coax him, and the hand on his back increased his strength, pressing him back on his stomach again.

Qin Xun's little temper was enough, and he flattered him in turn, hugged his neck and kissed his whole face "chirp" and "poo", and finally dropped his lips on the corner of Qi Jing's raised lips, and said, "I'm okay, you continue." ”

Of course, Qi Jing did not agree to the emperor, the father and son walked around the imperial garden, talked for a long afternoon, and finally ended with the emperor's compromise, not that the emperor was unwilling to persecute his son when he thought of the father-son relationship, but Qi Jing used the birds and finches in the imperial garden to implicitly tell the emperor, the caged bird was full of wings and flapped its wings powerfully, afraid that it would break free from the cage and the uncontrolled people would strengthen the bird cage and confine it more and more tightly, on the contrary, if they thought that the caged bird did not have the ability to break free, they would naturally relax their vigilance. If a bird that only curls up its wings every day and crouches at the bottom of the cage to breathe, even if it is released out of the cage and raised outdoors, who will be overly worried about not being able to control it?

Although Qi Jing is not a sick and weak bird that will make people completely unvigilant, but he has not yet made people vigilant enough to wrap his cage with layers of fine iron nets to feel at ease, and now Qi Jing's position of power is just right, there is no need to marry the princess of Xiliao at this stall to break such a peace, otherwise once this move makes the alarm bell in the heart of the Luo Wang Party, I am afraid that in the next few days, the people who stumble and cheat on Qi Jing will be doubled.

The emperor glared at him: "You still can't deal with this troublesome person?" ”

Qi Jing smiled without flaws, and humbly rolled up his sleeves: "My father and the emperor look down on his son, and his son is still not full of wings, and he can't do it alone from his father's help, so his son is not afraid of trouble, but he also avoids trouble." ”

The emperor smiled without seeing emotion: "Is it because of the Qin family's boy?" ”

Although Qi Jing had never concealed the extraordinary intimacy between himself and Qin Xun, he had long thought that there would be gossip circulating, but when he suddenly heard this ambiguous and vague question from his father's mouth, he had to say that Qi Jing was shocked and remained silent on his face: "Why did my father say this?" ”

The emperor sighed: "That kid returned to Beijing last year, has been inseparable from you, the Qin family is there to support your position, this time Xiliao sued for peace, but also the general's credit accounted for most of it, you have indeed been in the limelight here in the past few months, you should be avoided." The emperor approached the pavilion, sat down on the stone bench, and beckoned Qi Jing to sit too, "If the Qin family boy doesn't come back at this time, it's appropriate for you to marry the princess of Xiliao now." ”

In that case, I also have other reasons to refuse, Qi Jing thought in his heart, the smile on his face did not make any waves, and he pretended to acquiesce to his father's analysis.

I can't figure out how much the emperor knows about the relationship between him and Qin Xun, after all, today's emperor doesn't plan to ask for guilt on this issue, what he said this time is that because Qin Xun returned to Beijing to start a series of things, Qi Jing's party was too sharp, so it was not suitable for Qi Jing to marry Princess Xiliao to continue to be in the limelight.

Qi Jing said: "Weizhi knows how to measure it very well. ”

"I know." The emperor bowed his head, "I am not a person who casually deducts crimes, I can't blame him for this, it is my own order to recall people back to Chang'an." ”

As soon as the father and son sat down in the pavilion, soon a palace maid came to serve with a tea tray, and the emperor drank a sip of the tea that the palace maid had just poured on, and said: "I have no intention of marrying a daughter Xiliao, you should also know, I want to come to Xiliao and I am afraid that I will have this intention, so I made a two-handed plan, just at Zhaoyang's birthday banquet, the attendant behind Murong Xian, the prince of Xiliao, is not surprisingly the princess of Xiliao who came with her brother this time, but I am not sure which one is Murong Shu or Murong De - no matter which one it is, I have sent someone to inquire before, Neither of these two sisters is a fuel-efficient lamp. ”

The emperor stared at Qi Jing, the meaning in his eyes couldn't be more obvious, and he almost wrote the words "You know what I mean" on his face.

Qi Jing looked at his father with a very sensible "I understand what you mean": "Father, the meaning of Xiliao is that the sons and daughters understand, if it is not the sons, it is the eldest brother Meng Xuan, in fact, the sons and daughters think that the father and the emperor can trust the imperial brother, even if the imperial brother is ...... Qu Xiang is also a clever person. "Even if Qi Xuan really can't play with Princess Xiliao, his maternal grandfather Qu Boyong will not tolerate a girl from a foreign dynasty tossing them wantonly His Royal Highness King Luo, and even if Princess Xiliao is shrewd, she can't compete with Qu Boyong, who has been scheming for decades.

The emperor was noncommittal, and drank tea by himself, Qi Jing knew that his father was not very satisfied, and was still waiting for his next step.

Qi Jing was completely temporary, originally he just wanted to make a casual excuse to reject his father's plan to let him marry Princess Xiliao, and he didn't want the emperor to want him to take care of the aftermath for himself and Qi Xuan.

Qi Jing's mind was running rapidly, and he pondered for a long time by drinking tea, and said: "But Qu Xiang is a courtier after all, and for Emperor Meng Xuan, he is a foreign family member, if Princess Xiliao marries Princess Luo, then most of the things between her and the imperial brother can be called family affairs, and Qu Xiang is naturally not good at interfering too much in the imperial brother's family affairs." The son heard that there is only one side concubine and a number of concubines around the imperial brother, so if the father and the emperor choose a good person for the imperial brother, whether it is a strategist or a side concubine, he will always give the imperial brother more help. ”

This so-called "beloved" is naturally a "beloved" who is in line with the emperor's wishes, and he is not really choosing his true daughter for Qi Xuan.

The emperor finally smiled again: "Returning to the city is the best way to share my worries." ”

"It's a matter of the son's business."

Qi Jing thought to himself, isn't this all forced by you, I just said what you thought in your heart for you, and it was clear that you were making such plans yourself, but you didn't want to offend people, let

I'll take this head for you, and when I talk about it, I may be thrown out to block the arrows, and I will lightly throw a sentence to the Luo Wang Party, "Return to the city and be considerate of his imperial brother, and propose so."

Life is forced, this is no way, ordinary people dare not take the king of Ling Qi to return to the city to block the arrow, but the emperor dares, and the emperor wants to use him to block the arrow, he still has to block.

As for the emperor's ability to agree to Qi Jing's refusal to marry the princess of Xiliao, most of it is out of consideration for the balance of the dynasty, if Qi Jing's power is weak at the moment and Qi Xuan is too much, the emperor will not give him the slightest right to speak, the emperor is not an emotional father who feels sorry for his children.

Qin Xun lay on Qi Jing's chest and hugged his neck tightly: "Qi Jing, people really can't be too weak." ”

In many cases, the world does not respect the person himself, but the status he represents, and he controls enough power to have the right to speak.

is like Qi Xuan, but if he is stronger, this time he will not be slightly negotiated by his father and younger brother, and he will decide the marriage for him so easily.
