A curious Qixi Ya meeting made Qin Xun extremely disappointed, it was not very interesting to him, Qi Jing saw that he was not interested, thoughtfully said goodbye to everyone early, and casually took him away under the pretext of busy government affairs.

Qin Xun took it in the carriage

Qi Jing's legs were used as pillows, and he looked up at him with sleepy eyes: "You left so early, don't you feel unhappy?" ”

Qi Jingwaner: "Actually, I'm quite bored too. He smoothed Qin Xun's hanging hair, "Sleepy? Sleep for a while, and I'll call you when I get home. ”

Qin Xun has always had the habit of taking a nap, especially in the spring and summer when he is easily tired, he starts to get sleepy when he is full of food at noon, and he can fight with his eyelids when he stands.

Saying that he woke up when he got home, seeing that Qin Xun was sleeping soundly, Qi Jing couldn't bear to call him, and carried him out of the carriage and entered the Lingwang Mansion with light movements, put the rosewood chair in the outer hall of his bedroom, stripped off his coat, shoes and socks, and wrung a half-dry hand towel, wiped off a thin layer of sweat on his face, neck and hands, took a thin towel and put it on his shoulders and knees, and then sat down on the chair and let him rest on his lap, and read the official documents in the outer hall at will today.

About an hour later, Qing Yan came in and said that the emperor's inner courtyard had come to the Lingwang Mansion a batch of concerts, and Chu Zhongcheng sent his son Chu Shenxing Gongzi to personally send it to the Lingwang Mansion.

Qi Jing flipped through the pages of the book and paused: "Please let him in." ”

Chu Tianwen held a stack of pieces and stopped outside the gate of the Lingwang Mansion for a long time, looked up at the four big characters of "Prince Ling's Mansion" on the door plaque, and heard that this was the famous Qin Dacai who moved Beijing to congratulate his friend on the housewarming, and gave it to him a few days ago.

The beautiful maid of the Lingwang Mansion came back after a moment after going in to report, and politely invited him in, telling him that His Royal Highness the Lingwang was in the outer hall of the dormitory at the moment, and because of some inconvenient movements, he did not invite Gongzi Chu to the flower hall to entertain.

Chu Tian asked hurriedly and said that there is no need to bother, but he was thinking about why he would let His Royal Highness the King of Tomb not even move a nest in his own mansion to the flower hall for hospitality, it stands to reason that His Royal Highness can not care much about etiquette and invite him to his bedroom to entertain, and the guest should at least be able to call His Royal Highness a "friend" relationship, not to mention that he is a friend of King Ling, I don't know if the relationship between several sides is familiar.

When Qi Jing and Qin Xun left the Qixi Yahui, Chu Tian asked Shang and Qi Feiran, the grandson of King Xiang, to enjoy the flowers in the backyard of the restaurant, or after a long time, he heard someone call him and said that it was an urgent matter at home, Qi Feiran accompanied him back to the lobby, and happened to meet Qin Huai who came down from the stairs, and learned from Qi Feiran's conversation with the other party that the person he was thinking about had already returned home with His Royal Highness the King of Ling.

He couldn't help but ask Qi Feiran: "Micro...... The third prince of Qin still lives with His Royal Highness King Ling? ”

Qi Feiran nodded: "The third prince of Qin lives in the Lingwang Mansion. ”

"And he...... If you don't go home, don't your family say anything? ”

Qi Feiran said with a smile: "I heard the Lin family's son Yi say that this third prince of Qin grew up with His Royal Highness the King of Ling since he was a child, and probably the family has long been used to it." I heard that Qin Sangongzi had a somewhat stubborn temperament, and he listened to His Royal Highness King Ling's words, and his family was more relieved to let him follow His Royal Highness King Ling. ”

Chu Tian asked someone from the family to say that he was in a hurry, but he didn't say what the urgency was, only that Chu Zhongcheng had just returned from the palace, and he sent someone to urgently call his son back to the house, and he had something important to explain.

Chu Tianwen didn't dare to delay,

Since he knew that his father's violent death was arranged by his father on the way to Beijing, he felt that his father, who had been smiling kindly all day long, was strange and terrifying, and he did not dare to get too close to his father, nor did he dare to disobey his father too much.

He hurried home, only to learn that his father wanted him to send the chapter to the Lingwang Mansion. Chu Shengxiong is now in office in the Imperial Inner Court, today's day, the early dynasty received the chapter in the next dynasty after all the Imperial Court sorted out and classified, the Imperial Inner Court officials hurried to the blue batch of those who could be the masters, did not dare to make the decision without authorization, accumulated a stack, the palace people took away part of it and sent it to the Emperor of the Xuanmur Palace, the remaining half was divided into two stacks, half was to be sent to the Lingwang Mansion, and the other half of the court affairs that were not in a hurry were said to be left to His Royal Highness King Luo, who had not returned to the fiefdom of the inspector.

The emperor is still not so partial, and now that Qi Xuan and Qi Jing's two sons are jointly managing government affairs for themselves, when Qi Jing supervised the fiefdom, he unkindly accumulated official documents for him to come back to busy, and naturally he was also unkind when he was facing Qi Xuan, and the emperor himself had nothing to do, and he was happy and leisurely.

Chu Zhongcheng, who had not been in office for a few months after the new official took office, said quite enthusiastically that this time he was willing to personally send the chapter to the palace of Prince Lizheng.

Luo Wang Qi Mengxuan is not in Chang'an, Luo Wangfu only has domestic servants and maids except for the side concubine Xiao Shizi, and even the concubine Xiliao Princess who made a marriage contract has not yet lived in, and his colleagues think that Chu Shengxiong wants to send the concert in person, and he must be close to the one in the Lingwang Mansion.

Someone among his colleagues reminded him pointedly: "Chu Zhongcheng, His Royal Highness the King of Ling is happy and quiet, but it is not easy to disturb him." "It means that the King of Ling is not something that anyone can attach, a man who has just entered the inner courtyard of Chang'an, and his colleagues in the officialdom don't know that he doesn't know everything, so he is in such a hurry to pay tribute to the King of Ling, it's not appropriate.

Chu Shengxiong smiled and arched his hand: "Chu was sent to His Royal Highness King Luo's mansion, His Royal Highness the King of Ling, and was disturbed by the dogs once, and sent to the place." ”

Chu Shengxiong is not stupid, others don't know that he has private dealings with the Qu family, can he still not know, if he openly goes to get close to King Ling, how to explain to Qu You in the future, but to make a show, conniving at the absence of King Luo, he personally sent the chapter over, let Qu Xiang know, the old fox will not have much opinion.

However, Chu Shengxiong didn't plan to tie all his net worth to the Qu family, he didn't know what Qu Boyong's temper was, and he was afraid that one day Qu Boyong would feel that he was useless, and he would abandon himself without hesitation, or in order to achieve some purpose, a careless point of soldiers would be on his own, so he would sacrifice himself without pity.

Now that he has returned to Chang'an as he wished, he has a promising official position belonging to the "emperor's henchman", he doesn't want to bother with the Qu family anymore, and greedily wants to make himself smooth in the Luo Wang Party and the Ling Wang Party.

He wanted to personally send the song to the Luowang Mansion where the master was not there, but he wanted to send his son to the Lingwang Mansion to investigate the situation, anyway, his son Chu Tian asked at least the third son of Qin who lived in the Lingwang Mansion was an old classmate of Jiangnan, although it was a little unpleasant, but no

To the point of turning against each other, and judging from the greetings after entering Beijing, the third prince of Qin was still willing to politely give their father and son thin noodles, and he couldn't get out of his body, and let the idler's son who had not yet worshiped the official be sent to the Lingwang Mansion, which was reasonable and reasonable.

After Chu Tianwen returned home, he looked at the pile of music that his father had folded into his hand, and muttered, "Father...... Why don't you send someone to send it? ”

Chu Shengxiong didn't answer him, waved his hand and urged him: "Go quickly, if King Ling doesn't say much, and the chapter is delivered, you can just find an excuse to leave, if he has the intention of talking to you, you can stay for some time, it is not a bad thing to be able to say a few more words to him." ”

Chu Tianwen recalled stepping into the outer hall of King Ling's bedroom, and knew at a glance why King Ling was "inconvenient" to get up and move to a place to entertain guests.

The beautiful young man's face is familiar, but this peaceful sleeping face is a little fresh, Chu Tianwen rarely saw Qin Xun asleep in the past, he slept in the room Chu Tianwen is not suitable to go in, he sleeps in the lecture class is to bury his face in the crook of his arm, in his memory, the young man is always looking at people with bright eyes and smiling, but he doesn't know that there is such a quiet time like a still portrait.

It is rare that the quiet sleeping young man is lying on the side of the rosewood chair, pillowed on the lap of the young prince, seventeen or eighteen years old, intimate and unusual, Chu Tianwen was a little stunned, he couldn't remember what he said when he put a stack of concertos in front of the young prince, the other party bowed his head slightly, probably not saying the wrong thing, and then he sat on the opposite side of the case without any self-consciousness to deal with the words of the party, for fear of blocking the light of His Royal Highness the King of Ling's review of the recitals, he also moved the chair to the side a few points.

Qin Weizhi is really good-looking. Chu Tianwen unconsciously lingered his gaze on Qin Xun's sleeping face, whether these eyes were as blue as the deep sea when he was open to look at people, or the long and dense eyelashes cast arc-shaped shadows after they were closed, they were so angry that people couldn't take their eyes off them, and they would subconsciously want to look at him one more time, when he was awake, Chu Tianwen was never embarrassed to stare at him blatantly, and now that he was asleep, he couldn't find his disciple-like thoughts, Chu Tianwen put his eyes on that face more and more reassuringly.

King Ling only invited him to sit down, and didn't say anything to him, Chu Tianwen gradually relaxed his mind, staring at Qin Xun's face and recalling.

One hand pulled up the thin towel that was originally only under Qin Xun's shoulder in front of his eyes, and covered Qin Xun's head tightly.

Chu Tianwen suddenly came back to his senses, realizing who the person who made the move, his back was cold, and he reflexively broke out in a cold sweat.

Qi Jing said lightly: "Young Master Chu is distracted. ”

Chu Tianwen's fingertips were cold, and when he raised his eyes to Qi Jing's eyes, he couldn't help but be frightened: "Your Highness forgives your sins!" ”

"It doesn't matter." Qi Jing smiled shallowly, dipped the pen in cinnabar, and lowered his eyes to write on the chapter, "I just want to ask Prince Chu to be calm and not impatient, delay Prince Chu for some time, there are not many chapters today, and this king can approve and bring back to Ling Zun." ”

Chu Tianwen breathed a sigh of relief, knowing that he clearly saw himself staring at Qin Xun in his eyes, but he didn't seem to intend to bother with himself, he straightened up, lowered his eyes and stared at his knees.

Don't dare to glance at places you shouldn't be looking at anymore.

But there was movement on the chair across a long table for a moment, and the beautiful young man who was napping in the afternoon was dissatisfied that he was stuffy with something covering his head in the midsummer weather, and moved his body a few times, and pulled the thin towel off his face in a daze, and his eyes that were covered in the dark couldn't adapt to the light, and he couldn't open them in a daze, and grabbed the thin towel and called out "brother" vaguely.

Qi Jing almost immediately put down the calligraphy brush in his hand, and circled him when he propped himself up and drilled into his arms, Qin Xun's instinct to avoid light made him bury his face in Qi Jing's neck socket, Qi Jing couldn't help but follow the hair on the back of his head, and coaxed "It's okay, it's okay" in his mouth.

Qin Xun was woken up by the heat of the towel covering his face, and he was still tired, he threw himself into Qi Jing's arms, his face was against Qi Jing's slightly cool neck skin, and as soon as he was comfortable, he soon gradually lost consciousness in this posture, and he heard Qi Jing ask him gently: "Do you still want to sleep?" ”

He replied with a confused "um".

"Then go back to sleep, go to sleep."

When he heard this, Qin Xun faintly felt weightless, he guessed that Qi Jing picked him up and planned to move him somewhere, and heard Qi Jing apologize to someone, "Wait a minute".

Anyway, Qi Jing hugged him and told him to continue sleeping, he was very relieved, and he didn't think about it, he groped around Qi Jing's neck and rubbed it, said a few coquettish words, and let himself fall asleep again.

Chu Tianwen saw that the young prince did not hesitate to drop the government affairs at hand, and picked up the beautiful young man horizontally, coaxing some pet words like coaxing a child, and his expression was extremely gentle, and the young man who had always laughed loudly was actually soft and well-behaved that he had never seen before, "cousin" and "brother" shouted softly, begging for kisses and hugs.

Chu Tianwen suddenly realized clearly that he was an outsider.

Previously, when he was at the Qixi Festival, Chu Tianwen got acquainted with the grandson of King Xiang, who also came to Chang'an for the first time, and there was a sense of sympathy for each other during the conversation, and his words were not as vigilant as the strange Chang'an children, after a lunch with an uncomfortable atmosphere, he invited Qi Feiran to go to the backyard to enjoy the flowers, avoiding the dazzling intimate figures of the two people in the lobby, he was a little blocked in his heart, and asked Qi Feiran casually, if you like a person, that person has something else to love, how can you spit out the bitterness.

Qi Feiran thoughtfully didn't ask him if he was talking about himself, but only took himself as an example, and said to him with a shallow smile: "Then I will ask myself if I really like that person." I like her, look forward to it, and I am depressed for it, in fact, I just hope that she will respond to me, because I have paid my feelings, no matter how great and selfless I am, in my heart, I actually hope that the other party will respond, if I fall too deep, I will think about it, do I really like her, or do I think that my efforts are not rewarded, I feel unfair, suffer, I am unwilling? I even think, she has something else to love, she doesn't love me, she hasn't cared for me better, so why am I happy with her? The relationship should be mutual, someone is good to themselves, will be happy in return, is it just a long-term unwilling accumulation, so that I can not extricate myself from the illusion that I like her to the point of inextrication, in fact

, not really? ”

Chu Tianwen's hands on his lap tightened and loosened the clothes, loosened and tightened, until Qi Jing, who carried Qin Xun back to the inner room and was properly placed, came back to the outer hall again, and began to chat with him a few words between the review time, he forced himself to stop distracting from other things, and concentrate on dealing with His Royal Highness Prince Ling, who was incomprehensible.

Ten days later, Qi Xuan returned to Beijing, and the capital began to handle the marriage of Qi Mengxuan, the prince of Qiluo, and Murong Shu, the eldest princess of Western Liao.

The previous four princes were in a hurry to leave Beijing, although Qi Xuan himself stayed late, but the major event of the marriage with the Western Liao, the royal family was not solemn enough to Qi, and the next day after Qi Xuan returned to Beijing, the emperor set up a banquet, first to Qi Xuan and Murong Shu to discuss a wedding day, barely a family banquet, the emperor did not feast the courtiers, only invited the important ministers of the Great Qi and his cronies to the banquet, as well as the Western Liao envoys led by Murong Xian, the prince of Western Liao.

Qin Xun also went to the banquet with Qi Jing that day, completely because Qi Jing didn't tie him to the waistband of his trousers and take him anywhere, he didn't feel at ease, and the few people meant that the chance of being noticed was greater, Qin Xun sat down obediently and skillfully for the whole family banquet, fortunately, the focus of this family banquet was Qi Xuan and Princess Xiliao, as long as he could sit until the end of the venue.
