Not far from the city gate, the car paused slightly, the curtain was lifted, Zhu Quan showed half of his face, signaling that it was time for the four princes to get out of the car.

The five princes reluctantly watched the four princes get out of the car, the little waiter got into the car, twisted a hot handkerchief and handed it to the fifth prince, the fifth prince took the handkerchief, wiped it slowly, lowered his head for a while, handed the handkerchief to the little waiter, and said in a low voice: "You go to the back car, let Zhu Changshi come down, I have something to say to him." ”

Xiao Nei waited, got out of the car, and Zhu Quan got into the car.

"The prince has cried? The fourth master didn't say anything, right? Zhu Quan looked at the fifth prince with concern and asked.

"I didn't say anything," after a pause, the fifth prince looked at Zhu Quan with a little caution, "The fourth brother said that the emperor wants him to act as the minister." ”

Zhu Quan raised his eyebrows in surprise, "What do you mean by the fourth master?" That's a rarity. ”

"The fourth brother said that the emperor also wants me to act as one of the six departments." The fifth prince looked at Zhu Quan and continued.

"That's a good thing!" Zhu Quan's eyebrows flew, "The fourth master is well-informed, if the fourth master is the acting minister, the fifth master is better to be the acting household department, only the household department can be compared with the ministry of officials, the ancient Shangshu of the household department and the Qin Wangfu have always been friendly, and now the third envoy has been in the hands of the royal envoy, now everyone calls him the king minister, the king and the Qin Wangfu are even better, if the fifth master can act the household department, the result will be twice the result with half the effort." ”

Zhu Quan said excitedly.

"Zhu Changshi, do you really think it's a good thing?" The fifth prince looked at Zhu Quan and asked softly.

"Of course." Zhu Quan laughed, "The emperor thought of the prince of Qin, I am still thinking about it in the past few days, how to find an opportunity to remind the prince of Qin, the fifth master should stand in front of the stage and experience one or two." Alas, Li Wuye just left, not the time to speak. ”

Thinking of Li Wenshan, Zhu Quan's heart ached, Li Wenshan was the most pure and rare person he had ever seen, but it was a pity.

"Do you really think Uncle values me so much?" The fifth prince stared at Zhu Quan.

Zhu Quan laughed, "Look at what the fifth master said, there is only the fifth master by the side of the fifth master, he doesn't value the fifth master, who else can he value?" Fourth Master? Isn't that a joke? Unless ......"

Zhu Quan's words paused, and then he spread his hands and smiled: "There is nothing that can't be said with the fifth master, unless there is a little prince in the palace to help a young emperor, of course, it is better than an adult prince like the fifth master, but these beauties in the palace are continuous, but they have not been able to add a son and a half daughter, the heirs of this dynasty have always been not abundant, although the emperor is still prosperous in the spring and autumn, but after all, he is not young, except for the fifth master, who else can the prince help?" ”

The fifth prince looked at Zhu Quan for a moment, and lowered his eyes, "Zhu Changshi, I want to talk to my uncle." ”

"Well, yes." Zhu Quan stroked his palm in agreement, "When the fifth master sees the prince, he must be respectful and humble, and treat the prince as a father, but it can't be too much, if it is too much, in case it reverses the dignity and humility...... Forget it, let's not talk about this now, I'll talk about it later. Shall I ask someone to deliver a message first? ”

"Hmm." The fifth prince bowed his head in response.

King Qin didn't send the second prince and his wife to Tianqing Temple, and when he heard that the fifth prince wanted to see him, he frowned and looked at Jin Zhuoyan, who also looked at him.

"Shall I go to Tanyu first?" Kim stood up.

"It's not appropriate for you to go." King Qin called in the chief who was standing at the door, Huaixi, "You go and see if Mr. Guo is busy, tell him, let him go and talk to the fifth master first, I can't be idle at this time, I'm afraid that the fifth master has something urgent." ”

"Yes." Huaixi agreed, and withdrew with his hands down.

It didn't take long for Guo Sheng to stride in, saluted at King Qin, and arched his hand at Jin Cunyan and Lu Yi, with a helpless wry smile: "It seems that I am scared, I must see the prince, Zhu Quan is waiting outside the second gate, I took a look, and Zhu Quan looked a little eyebrows dancing, Zhu Quan is a person, the bookish anger is too heavy, heavier than the sixth brother, but he still feels that he is quite scheming." ”

"I'm afraid it's a thought." Jin Cunyan had a slight sneer on his face.

"The fifth child really doesn't look like a delusional person." Lu Yi's words were full of hesitation.

He didn't think it was like it, but he didn't dare to conclude that this kind of thing that ruled the world and held all the people could make almost everyone crazy, not to mention, after all, he was a prince, and it really couldn't be considered too delusional to have some ideas.

"The fifth master only has fear in his eyes, and he is not delusional, not very like." Guo Shengdao.

"You tell the princess, ask the princess what she means, and if you want to see her." King Qin pondered for a moment and instructed Guo Sheng.

Guo Sheng nodded in response, turned around and went out, and went straight to the small warm pavilion very close to the courtyard of the study.

Not long after, Huaixi trotted in and reported: The princess invited the fifth master to talk to the small warm pavilion.

Jin Shuyan breathed a sigh of relief, looked at King Qin and said with a smile: "Indeed, no matter what he wants to say, the princess is more suitable than you when she sees him." ”

"I'm afraid it's something that will make Ah Xia embarrassed again." King Qin didn't know what he was thinking, and sighed lowly.

The fifth prince entered the small warm pavilion for more than a quarter of an hour or two quarters of an hour, and went back directly when he came out.

The sky was about to darken, King Qin came out of the courtyard of the study, and as soon as he turned a corner, he saw Li Xia standing at the door of the small warm pavilion waiting for him.

King Qin hurriedly walked a few steps, Li Xia saw him, smiled, took a few steps down, and ran a few steps to meet him.

King Qin raised his hand and touched Li Xia's shoulder, she was very haggard in the past few days, and she looked like she had lost a lot of weight.

"Is it good to eat at noon? Huaixi said that you drank half a bowl of soup more, but you ate less rice. King Qin's hand slid down Li Xia's shoulder, hugged her, looked at her face carefully, and said with concern.

"Before lunch, the small kitchen sent a plate of rhombic flour cake, I ate an extra piece, and I ate less at lunch, I'm fine." Li Xia stuffed his hand into King Qin's hand and walked slowly forward with him.

"Just now, the fifth child came and said that he was sending the second couple to Tianqing Temple on the way back, and he talked to the fourth child all the way." The two talked a few words, and Li Xia talked about the five princes.

"Huh? Guo Sheng said he looked scared? King Qin frowned slightly.

"I'm very scared, he said that the fourth brother said that the emperor wanted to let the fourth child act as the minister, saying that he also wanted him to go to the sixth department to experience one or two." Li Xia looked up at King Qin.

"In the past few days, the emperor has praised the old four emperors for taking care of it well, being practical and capable, and being outstanding, and so on, I also discussed this matter with my humble words yesterday, and I also thought of it." King Qin said, sighing.

"The emperor wants to push the fourth and fifth children up, let's see it, the prince and they can see it, even the fourth and fifth children can see it." Li Xia's sneer was full of disdain, and then he sighed again, "The fifth child just said that when he was still in the palace in the past, the third child said once that they were all children with only mothers, and he has always been deeply aware of this sentence. ”

"In this case, A-Niang also said it." King Qin sighed.

"Lao Wu said that he has only wanted to live from a very young age to the present, if one day, he doesn't have to be afraid, and he can live in peace, which is the greatest blessing in this life, he has never thought about anything else, and he can't afford anything else."

Li Xia was silent for a moment before continuing: "I promised him that as long as we are safe, I will grant him peace." ”

King Qin was stunned.

"It's against what I told my mother." Li Xia stopped and looked up at King Qin, "I hesitated, but if I don't allow this peace, I will force him into a dead end." There will be one more great change. After the fifth child left, I thought about it carefully, at this time, such an accident is too dangerous, and we probably can't afford it.

I didn't expect him to come to us, and he looked for him so directly, saw it so thoroughly, and said it so thoroughly, that there was no room for me to maneuver and be vague.

I promised him because, I think, the two major things left by Niangniang, compared with these two things, are also light and heavy, you can ascend to the throne, like the Empress Dowager Zheng and the first emperor promised, the orthodoxy of the dynasty must be inherited by the blood of Niangniang, this is the most important thing, is the root of all Niangniang's wishes, and it is also the most important thing we want to do, and everything else should be able to give way to this matter.

I promised him peace, and since I had promised it, I would do it. Niangniang's last wish, I'm afraid it won't be 100% fulfilled. ”

"A-Niang will put this matter in your hands, and I will also be in your hands." King Qin shook Li Xia's hand, "That's everything up to you, that's what A-Niang means, and I'm even more."

A-Niang is not a vicious person, there has always been room for doing things, after we got engaged, A-Niang often talked about you, A-Niang liked to talk to me about you. ”

King Qin's throat choked slightly, and after a moment, he continued: "Ah Niang said that you are smart and natural, and you have a tenacity and patience that she does not have, and also said that you have a compassion in your nature, even she is not as good as her, saying that you are stronger than her, stronger than when she was young, and even stronger than her in previous years, being able to marry you is the greatest blessing in my life, this is Ah Niang's words, I also think so." ”

"Hmm." Li Xia pursed his lips, let out a smile, stretched out his arm to hug King Qin, put his face on his chest, and stood for a while before standing up straight, turning around, and walking side by side with King Qin.

Guo Sheng said that Zhu Quan's eyebrows danced, that is a very angry and ambitious book, do you want to find a way to transfer him away? For an outside job? The two walked forward for a while, and King Qin looked at Li Xiadao.

"No, you don't." Li Xia replied quickly, "First, now that the entire capital is extremely sensitive, suddenly transferring Zhu Quan must have their own ideas, which is not good for us or the fifth child; Second, let Zhu Quan follow the fifth child, virtual and real, at least the emperor likes to watch it very much, and the emperor must feel very good when he looks at it; Third, the fifth child understands very well, I think he is also a determined person, Zhu Quan's heart is not as good as him, and his heart is not as good as him, don't worry. ”

"Hmm." King Qin didn't know what to think, and smiled, "Ah Xia, compared to you, it's my mother-in-law who is often my mother-in-law." Later," King Qin paused, "If you have a child, you can teach me, I think I will definitely not be able to, I have to be like Ah Feng." ”

"What's wrong with General Lu?" Li Xia raised his eyebrows and asked.

"His Ah Guo, now he will turn over, this morning Ah Guo himself turned over and lay face down on the couch, he wanted to turn back, his tired forehead was sweaty, Ruan's didn't let him help, saying that Ah Guo could turn over by himself, Ah Feng felt distressed, and took advantage of Ruan's mistake to help Ah Guo, and was seen by Ruan's family."

Li Xia couldn't cry or laugh, "Mrs. Ruan lost her temper?" ”

"Well, Ah Feng looked like a gray face, and sighed for a while, saying that when Ah Guo is older, he will not be willing to practice the exercises, and he is afraid that he will have to entrust Bai Qiao to do it for him when the time comes."

Li Xia tilted his head and thought for a long time.

The former General Lu in her memory seemed to be a little blurry, but in this blur, the gentleness was not meticulous and stern, but it was angular and clear.

Once upon a time, Mrs. Ruan was pregnant not long after she got married, the birth was not smooth, one corpse and two lives, I heard that it was a male fetus, until she fell back, General Lu was still alone, living in the guard room all the year round......

Now, Li Xia imagined Lu Yi's appearance of wanting to help Ah Guo but not daring to help, and his smile grew, "Mrs. Ruan did the right thing in this matter, and she should teach her a good lesson." ”

Before he finished speaking, Li Xia thought of Brother Yan and Mao Mao, "There have been a lot of things in the past two days, I haven't seen Brother Yan for several days, and Mao Mao." ”

King Qin was stunned for a moment, and sighed, if Brother Yan and Mao Mao learned a lesson tomorrow, they can't blame him, right?
