After sending away Mrs. Guo's second wife, Li Xia and King Qin only drank two cups of tea, ate a few snacks, and said a few words of gossip, so they stood up and said goodbye.

Li Xia didn't let Mrs. A-Niang Xu send it out, Mrs. Yan took Li Xia's hand, took a few steps behind, and asked in a low voice, "Is it okay?" ”

"It's okay, don't worry, the second brother's business is fine."

Mrs. Yan hummed softly, obviously relieved.

"Look at the old lady like this, in and out of the year, the uncle is going to come back to mourn."

"Your uncle...... Mrs. Yan's footsteps paused slightly.

"You want to make a match, don't you?" Li Xia answered clearly.

Mrs. Yan snorted.

"The prince's side, he must want him to return to the capital, since he has returned to the capital, there is no excuse to win the love, here, I don't approve of the uncle's love, at this time, it is only good to keep filial piety for a few years."

"I thought so at the beginning, but now," Mrs. Yan paused, worried, "Your second brother has received this mission, if your uncle comes back to stay at home to keep filial piety, he will definitely plan for your second brother, I am afraid of ......"

"Well, I figured it out, let's come back first. The aunt next to the uncle, recently there are a few poems with the uncle, from talent to extraordinary character, do you want her to return to the capital? Li Xia looked at Mrs. Yan and asked.

Mrs. Yan was stunned, she didn't quite understand what Li Xia meant.

"If the eldest aunt is bored, I will let her go and let her stay on the road." Li Xia said idly.

Mrs. Yan's scalp was slightly numb, she took a breath lightly, and after a moment, she shook her head, "Forget it, your uncle loves elegant and talented beauties, over the years, one after another, and it has not been broken, I have long stopped watching this......"

Mrs. Yan thought about the past few years in Jiangning Mansion, her throat was tight and she couldn't speak, and she froze for a moment before she relieved herself, "Forget it, at this age, I haven't watched him live these days."

Your seventh sister wrote a letter a while ago saying that Xiao Ruyi was running around, and if she could speak sentences, she could also recite the three-character scripture.

Your third brother said that he was also smooth in office, but he only arrived for a month or two, and he also sent Zhang Qing'er a big letter, which was much better than his father's childhood, I just looked at you, it's enough. ”

"Well, don't worry, third brother, the former Bai Qiao also specially told Mr. Guo a few things about the third brother's tenure, the third brother was born in Enyin, and he has to go around a few more terms in the local area, so that the future can be better." Li Xia followed Mrs. Yan's words and said in a low voice.

"I know, you take care of yourself first."

The front yard is very close to the courtyard gate, and in a few words, it was at the gate, Li Xia stopped Mrs. Yan, did not let her send it again, and went out of the gate with King Qin, or walked back to Potai Temple.

"Li Wensong is entrusted to the Bai family, and Li Wenli is a subordinate official of the prince, no matter what, the Li family will always have a team that can support it." King Qin took Li Xia's hand, walked out of a paragraph, and said in a low voice.

"Well, the fifth brother handed over the letter, today the doctor checked the pulse, saying that the old lady is not very good, the oil is running out of lamps, if it is ......" Li Xia vaguely said the second half of the sentence, "After the two of them are buried, let them divide the family." ”

"Your second uncle's family?" King Qin frowned slightly, the second room of the Li family is too unbearable, and if you really want to divide the family, how can one of them support one or two?

"Uncle is at home, he pays the most attention to the Qi family, just this one brother-in-law, no matter how unbearable he is, he won't let it go, let him take care of it." Li Xia thought about the eldest aunt and sighed.

"The second room is like this, and it is also related to your uncle's temper." King Qin sighed.

"The second uncle and the second uncle, under the wings of the eldest uncle and the eldest uncle, have grown up to such a big size like a child, ignorant and fearless, but too stupid, looking at things and people, doing things and behaving, only with one emotion, alas." Li Xia said a little worried, "The girls around her are too, yesterday I asked Banana Leaf to send something, and Banana Leaf came back to tell me about pearls...... Pearl is now the most useful big girl for the second uncle. ”

Li Xia looked at King Qin and explained.

"Said that Pearl didn't say a few words to her, and scolded Sun Zhong's daughter-in-law for being shameless and ruthless, and turning her face ruthlessly is not a thing, Banana Leaf wondered, Sun Zhong's daughter-in-law's mother's family and Pearl's family are neighbors, and they have always taken good care of Pearl, Banana Leaf asked Pearl, what did Sun Zhong's daughter-in-law do to make her angry like this?"

King Qin tilted his head slightly, listening very attentively, Li Xiaha chuckled, "Banana Ye said, Pearl wrinkled her eyebrows, thought about it for a long time, and suddenly clapped her hands and said: Oh, she didn't do anything, nothing bad." ”

King Qin was stunned for a moment, and then burst out laughing.

"The second uncle scolded the eldest aunt, scolded the housekeepers and grandmothers, this pearl doesn't care about thirty-seven twenty-one, and it can't be angry. But according to Banana Leaf's words, she looked, pearls are like this, and they know a little better than the second uncle, alas, such a stupid person, really,"

Li Xia paused, "According to Guo Sheng's statement, like the dog shit on the holy decree, the holy decree must not be thrown away, this shit has no other way than to wipe it, but it can't be cleaned." ”

King Qin couldn't cry or laugh, "This Guo Sheng, what kind of metaphor is this...... Quite right. ”

"However, think about other families, such as the Jiang family, compared with the eldest grandmother of the Jiang family, the second aunt is very good, but unfortunately these things can't be said, otherwise if you use it to persuade the eldest aunt, the eldest aunt must be in a good mood." Li Xia then laughed.

"What's your name?" King Qin laughed again, "Do you see the Jiang family's jokes?" ”

"It's to think that every family has a scripture that is difficult to read, and my heart is at peace. We too, don't worry about clan affairs at this time, there are only you and me in the house, and after a few years, in addition to serving, there are more people in the backyard, and this scripture will begin to be difficult to read. Li Xia's tone was light, no matter how difficult it was to read, it couldn't compare to the harem she had experienced before.

"Asha." King Qin didn't know what to think, his expression was a little serious, "There are a few words, I have long wanted to tell you." ”

"Huh?" Li Xia looked up at King Qin with a serious expression.

"I heard what you just said to your aunt." King Qin didn't seem to know where to start.

Li Xia's eyebrows raised, and he dragged his voice and sighed, "Are you worried about ......?"

"It's not." King Qin quickly interrupted Li Xia's words, "You listen to me. ”

"You say, I'll listen." Li Xia turned his head to look at the Potai Temple in the sunset in front of him, with an indifferent expression.

"In the future, whether it is the palace or something else...... At what point, I will only guard you alone, just the two of us, and the two of us will stay together for a lifetime. ”

Li Xia's feet froze, he stopped, turned around and looked up at King Qin, and for a moment, a smile bloomed, "You just said that when you heard those words I said to my eldest uncle, you were afraid that I would hurt your favorite in the future?" ”

"No," King Qin didn't smile, his expression was solemn, "As long as you don't hurt yourself, you can't hurt my heart's top darling, and that's not what I'm going to say." ”

Li Xia lowered his voice, let out a long sigh, turned around, and asked as he walked, "Then why?" I have to ......" Li Xia didn't finish speaking, so he didn't go on, tilting his head sideways at King Qin, as if smiling.

"I only have you in my heart, other women, no matter what, I won't go to my heart, I am," King Qin met Li Xia's gaze, "Seeing your aunt working hard, watching your uncle and concubine sing poems and harmony, alas." And A-Niang...... I don't want you to be sad, you're sad, I'm sad. ”

"You don't want me to be sad...... Li Xia dragged his voice, "I see, you're scared." ”

"Sort of, I'm afraid that I don't take care of it, there is a place to wronged you, in this world, the two of us can accompany and help each other, it is already my greatest blessing, I still know how to cherish the blessings."

King Qin bowed slightly to Li Xia.

Li Xia laughed, "You don't have to be so afraid, forget it, just be afraid, I wrote down what you said, but I won't take your words to care, if you want to regret it one day, you will regret it one day, I just don't say anything like this." ”

"It's something I've thought about for a long time before I say it, and I've never gone back on what I've said. A person, even if he is the son of heaven, his blessings are limited, and he can be accompanied by you, and he has exhausted ninety percent of my blessings, and he does not dare to throw away the remaining half, and he wants to keep and grow old with you. ”

Li Xia stopped, looked up at King Qin, and for a moment, his head rested on King Qin's chest, and he laughed.

Lu Yi and Jin Zhuoyan, who were more than ten steps behind the two of them, twisted their heads in unison and looked at the flowers, trees and weeds next to them seriously.

……………………

On the fourth day, just after noon, Empress Jiang set off to return to the palace, and all the women inside and outside the palace, except for a few elderly ladies who returned to the house to rest at the behest of Empress Jiang, the rest of the people had to be the same as before, and they could only return to the house after the afternoon ritual was completed.

The Hanlin people in the front hall naturally have to follow for a day, the prince has state affairs, even a few days ago, he only listened to the scriptures and prayed for blessings for half a day in the morning, and rushed back to deal with government affairs around the beginning of the afternoon.

Before and after, the old chamberlain, who was waiting for several princes to change their clothes, entered the clean room of the front hall with a clean bucket.

The place of the Great Mercy and Grace Temple is not small, but it is very crowded and cramped to accommodate almost all the internal and external women, as well as at least half of the courtiers praying and listening to the scriptures.

The clean room for changing clothes, except for Empress Jiang and the crown prince, is the same as when they were in the palace, it is a single house, and from a few princes, it can only be used by a few people, or by all people.

From the second prince to the fifth prince, the changing clothes are in the corner of the front hall porch, and the other three sides are surrounded by thick brocade curtains. The compartment is very small, a curtain separates the inside and the outside, and the inside is cleaned with a bucket, and the filth of the size is sent to the clean room of the front hall one by one, dumped and washed, replaced with clean fragrant sawdust, and then brought back to wait for the waiter, and outside, the two inner waiters wait to clean their hands.

The people who are waiting inside and outside are all sent out by the palace to wait for the old adult waiter to change clothes.

The old waiter entered the clean room with the bucket, poured the filth wrapped in fragrant sawdust in the bucket into the big bucket, scooped up the water, washed the bucket over and over again, put the perfume crumbs again, carefully put the bucket clean, scooped the water again, carefully cleaned his hands, wiped it clean, and was about to reach out to hold the bucket, Guo Sheng stepped out from behind the half-human-high water tank, covered the mouth of the old waiter with one hand, and slashed at the neck of the old waiter with one hand.

After a while, Guo Sheng wore the clothes of the old chamberlain, bowed his waist, carried the bucket on his head, and moved sideways from the guard at the door in a low manner, and went to the clean room next to him.

The second prince and the third prince ate vegetarian food, drank tea and talked, ready to show up at the afternoon ceremony, and hurried to do business, they were very busy these days, and they could not afford to spend more than ten days in this temple one day and one night.

When I was in a hurry to leave, the time passed very slowly, and when I drank the tea until it was tasteless, the bell sounded, and the third prince breathed a sigh of relief, stood up and was about to go to the front hall, and paused, turned around and went to the clean room, "I'll go and go directly to see my aunt in a while." ”

When the second prince saw him go to the clean room, he sat down again and waited for him to change his clothes and come out.

The waiter outside the clean room opened the curtain, the three princes went straight in, Guo Sheng bowed his waist, lowered his head and lowered his eyes, stepped forward to wait for the three princes to untie their clothes, and when he turned sideways, he suddenly raised his hand, one hand tightly covered the mouth and nose of the three princes, and the other hand stabbed a swarthy slender iron thorn from the back of the neck of the third prince into the brain.

The three princes trembled for a while, and the feces and urine flowed together, Guo Sheng waited for a moment, gently put the three princes down on the net bucket, reached out and grabbed the crossbar under the corridor, and shrank up.

The two old waiters outside the curtain smelled the smell, and waited and waited for a long time, the two looked at each other, and the old waiter who was close to the inside quietly handed over the curtain and picked up the slit, looked in, stayed for a moment, put down the curtain, and turned his head to look at the other old waiter in a daze, and the other old waiter saw that his face was blank and his eyes were straight, so he hurriedly stood on tiptoe and stepped forward to pick up the curtain crack.

In a moment, the two of them screamed almost simultaneously and threw themselves out.

Guo Sheng quickly jumped between the two, screamed and pounced out at the same time as the two of them, and rushed over to meet the inner guards who rushed up around him.

The three princes died in the Great Ci'en Temple, which was surrounded by the imperial guards, and the horses galloping all over the streets and the sound of swords and guns made the entire capital fall into a panic and panic.

Taking advantage of the confusion and confusion in the Great Ci'en Temple for a moment, Guo Sheng from not far from the temporary clean room, has been expanded to let him shrink out of the dog hole, Yingui sticks to the face full of beard, driving the car to stop in front of the dog hole, Guo Sheng just got into the car, he drove the car straight out, turned into the alley next to him, stopped the car, and Guo Sheng went straight forward, pushed the door into the empty yard, went out from the back door of the yard, had changed his clothes, passed through the alley, and when he passed through the royal street, it was still bustling and lively as usual.

When they arrived at Yujie, the two of them were already their usual appearance, Yingui followed Guo Sheng with his hands in his hands, and entered a restaurant at the intersection of Nanmen Street.

The two sat down by the window, and Dr. Cha and Wine had just sent a few cold dishes up, but before they were ready, on the royal street, from the direction of the West Corner Tower Street where the Xuande Building and the Dianqian Division were stationed, the imperial guards were wrapped in panic and chaos all over the street, rushing to their faces.

Yingui stretched out his head and stared at Yujie, for a moment, he shrank his head back and glared at Guo Sheng, but he pursed his mouth tightly and didn't dare to ask a word.

"There's really no time to live in peace, you sit down and have a drink with me." Guo Sheng stretched out his head to look at the already panicked and chaotic Royal Street, and shook his head with emotion.
