Chapter 8 Vinegar
Qin Ran only heard some rumors in the court at night, and the rumors were really serious.
Qin Ran felt that something was wrong when she heard it, and hurriedly went to the study, to her surprise, her brother, who only knew how to walk birds and fight cocks on weekdays, was also in the study.
Qin Ran entered her old man's study, and she had never been in the habit of knocking on the door, and naturally she didn't have it this time. She pushed the door in and found a place to sit.
"Dad, how can you embarrass Your Majesty in the court today? This is a great sin of disrespect. Qin Ran spoke, she frowned slightly, since she was reborn, she knew that His Majesty had never been in her impression.
The heart of the emperor has always been unpredictable.
"Who said that the old man embarrassed His Majesty, the old man is clearly about the Shang Shu Ling, an ignorant child, and he intends to shake my Daqi roots!" Qin Chu was obviously not angry yet.
"Dad, you just dissipate your anger first, then Shang Shuling is not being favored." Qin Ran's brother, Qin Yuan hurriedly stepped forward to persuade him, and said to Qin Ran again, "Sister, you're still sitting there stupidly, you also come over to persuade Dad." β
Qin Ran came over reluctantly, stood still in front of Qin Chu, and said with a serious expression.
"Dad, brother, now Your Majesty is already in power, even if our Jianye Marquis Mansion has worked hard and made a lot of achievements. However, after all, we are courtiers, and as a courtier, the most important thing is to be loyal and respectful to the king! β
Qin Chu, Qin Yuan: "......"
"Dad, now that you have said something, Your Majesty will definitely be suspicious. I can only hope that Your Majesty can remember the feelings of the past and don't keep it in your heart. Qin Ran didn't know who he was saying the last sentence to.
Jianye Houfu is a big move, and he is in charge of military power. It's also that His Majesty still trusts, if he no longer trusts...
Qin Ran didn't dare to think about it, she sighed and glanced at Qin Yuan. How can this brother pick up the burden of the Jianye Marquis Mansion in the future.
She can only inherit the Qin family's army, but the position of the son of the world is absolutely impossible.
"Brother, after all, you are the only eldest son of the Marquis of Jianye." Before Qin Ran left, he whispered to Qin Yuan.
Qin Yuan: "......"
Qin Chu sat on the first place, glanced at Qin Ran with complicated eyes, moved his lips, but didn't say anything.
His Xiao Ran seems to be different from before.
On the second day, Qin Ran entered the palace, Qin Ran came to the palace I don't know how many times, but the guards didn't even stop him, and he let him go after a salute.
Qin Ran has always disliked the palace, although it is delicate everywhere, one step at a time, but the atmosphere is always dignified and solemn, as soon as she comes in, she feels gloomy and overwhelming.
Before Qin Ran came, she had someone to inform Qi Yun, and she was waiting for him in the water pavilion of the Imperial Garden.
The ripples ripple slightly, and when you look out of the water pavilion, you can see the Imperial Lake, and you can vaguely see the red carp. Because it was still the end of summer, the wooden planks that protected the water pavilion were removed, and only the light veil was shrouded, which brought a slight coolness with the wind swinging.
Qin Ran waited left and right and didn't see Qi Yun coming, so he was bored lying on the railing, but his hand was restless to pull the light yarn that swayed in the wind.
Qi Yun finished discussing things with Gu Yan in the imperial study, and it happened that Qi Yun was about to come to the imperial garden, so he came out with Gu Yan. As soon as the two of them came to the Imperial Garden, they saw Qin Ran boringly pulling the light veil, and beckoning the carp with his hand.
Qin Ran ordered that no one else should come to disturb, and because he had been practicing martial arts for many years, he heard footsteps, so he knew that Qi Yun was coming. She hurriedly cleaned up her expression and made herself happy.
Qin Ran turned his head, bloomed with a bright smile, and shouted at Qi Yun, "Brother Yi Chuan! β
It's a pity that before the words fell, Qin Ran saw another person standing beside Qi Yun.
The moon-white caftan is covered with a white embroidered gauze robe, and the style is graceful.
Be... Mingzhou!
Qin Ran's smile slowly froze on his face, Qi Yun didn't notice the change in Qin Ran's expression, he heard Qin Ran's voice and replied.
"Xiao Ran."
The two walked in front of Qin Ran, Gu Yan still had the same smile on his face, and said to Qin Ran,
"Miss Qin."
Qin Ran wanted to cry without tears, so he had to reply dryly.
"Sir."
Qi Yun motioned for Qin Ran and Gu Yan to sit down, and then ordered someone to bring some tea and snacks.
"Gu Aiqing doesn't have to be in such a hurry to leave the palace, it just so happens that Xiao Ran is here today, you might as well sit here and chat, I heard that Gu Aiqing is also Xiao Ran's teacher?" Qi Yun looked at Qin Ran with a smile and asked casually.
"Weichen is not talented, thanks to the love of the marquis." Gu Yan lowered his eyes and said lightly.
"Gu Aiqing is humble, how can the famous Prince Mingzhou say that he is not talented?" Qi Yun said with a smile.
"Your Majesty has praised it." Gu Yan still didn't have any change in his expression.
Qin Ran sat on the side, it was really like sitting on pins and needles, especially looking at Gu Yan's indifferent expression, she was almost crazy.
Mingzhou, Mingzhou, is your reaction true or false?
Gu Yan sat for a while and then retired because he was a little unwell, as soon as Gu Yan stood up, Qin Ran couldn't help but want to stand up and leave. I almost forgot the purpose of coming.
Gu Yan walked on the road and smiled coldly.
Oh, Xiao Ran.
When Gu Yan came to this, Qin Ran obviously looked a little out of control. Qi Yun poured Qin Ran a cup of tea, and took a piece of plum blossom cake and fed it to her mouth.
Qin Ran couldn't refuse, so he ate it by Qi Yun's hand.
"What's the matter, why do you look like you're out of the way today?" Qi Yun asked softly.
"Ah, it's okay, it's okay, I didn't sleep well last night." Qin Ran replied.
When Qi Yun heard this, he immediately put his mind at ease.
He took a sip of tea and said suddenly.
"Then why don't you sleep for a while, enter the palace early in the morning, and let me guess, you are here for your father's business, right?"
Qin Ran's hand eating the pastry, she immediately raised her eyes to look at Qi Yun, who was looking at her with heavy eyes, Qin Ran chuckled in her heart. "Brother Yi Chuan, my father really didn't mean it, that, don't be angry, okay?" Qin Ran tugged at Qi Yun's sleeve and said aggrievedly.
Qi Yun suddenly burst out laughing and gently touched Qin Ran's head.
"It's obvious that I should be wronged, why are you more wronged than me now?" Qi Yun gave Qin Ran a haircut on his forehead, and said, "I know what kind of person Jianye Hou is, as long as he is loyal to my Great Qi and loyal to me, why should I care about this?" β
Qi Yun looked at Qin Ran gently and said.
"What's more, he's my Xiao Ran's father."
Qin Ran looked at Qi Yun blankly, and suddenly forgot what to say. The breeze blew through the hair of the two, Qi Yun looked at her, slowly holding Qin Ran's face, and wanted to kiss like this.
Qin Ran looked at the slowly enlarged face in front of her, and when she was about to refuse, she heard a sound not far in front of her, she instinctively turned her head, but only vaguely saw a moon-white silhouette, while Qi Yun didn't see anything.
Qi Yun was disturbed like this, so he naturally lost interest. But he still had patience and asked gently.
"What's wrong, Xiao Ran?"
"There was a noise over there just now, so I looked that way." Qi Yun looked in the direction that Qin Ran was pointing to, and it was empty.
"Maybe it's a cat." Qin Ran said.
"Possibly."
β¦β¦
On the way out of the palace, Gu Yan shook his head with a wry smile. He laughed at himself, how could he suddenly become so naΓ―ve.
