Qi Muyuan went home and went directly to Qi Bokun's yard, but who knew that the old lady had gone out with Mr. Yuan early in the morning.

Qi Muyuan's brows furrowed: "How is the old lady's body?" ”

"It's all right. I didn't cough all night last night. The subordinate said.

Qi Muyuan was relieved.

Not long after he returned to his courtyard, Qi Bokun's voice sounded at the gate of the courtyard: "Xiaoyuan." ”

"Grandfather." Qi Muyuan hurriedly put down the book in his hand and walked out.

Qi Bokun had already pushed the door in, followed by Yuan Xiuzhu. The group went directly to the hall in Qi Muyuan's courtyard.

Qi Muyuan greeted Yuan Xiuzhu, and counted down his grandfather: "Grandfather, you too, your health is not very good, so you go around." The temperature is a little cool in the morning, so you need to pay attention to your body. ”

"It's okay, I'm fine, don't make a fuss."

Qi Bokun entered the door and sat down, and after watching the chess and serving tea, he said: "I received a news that the fifth prince is coming to Gui Province to meet Qi Yuandao. ”

Qi Muyuan's brows suddenly furrowed.

Today, there are seven sons in the saint, and the eldest prince is born from a noble concubine and occupies the eldest position; The second prince was born by the queen and occupied the throne. and five sons from other concubines.

For the position of the crown prince, the concubine and the queen have been fighting for many years, and they do not allow other princes to grow up. Now that they have grown up, in addition to the eldest prince and the second prince, there are also four princes, five princes and seven princes. The Seventh Prince is still in infancy, the Fourth Prince and the Seventh Prince are one seventeen years old and the other fifteen years old this year. The mother of the four princes is one of the four concubines, and she also has the heart to compete for the throne; The mother of the fifth prince is not high, and he himself is also dedicated to learning, obsessed with learning, piano, chess, calligraphy and painting, and puts on a posture that is indisputable with the world, showing that he is only an idle king and has no intention of taking the throne.

Of course, the mother of the fifth prince is not high and can raise her son, which shows that there are also means; Whether the five princes pretend to be pigs and eat tigers, or whether they really have no intention of taking the throne is debatable.

The reason why Qi Yuandao is respected by the world and has such a high status is not only because he has written many articles and works, but also because the five princes have asked him for knowledge. The royal family can't raise a little white rabbit, and now that the five princes are here in the name of visiting their teachers, Qi Muyuan deeply suspects that he is trying to avoid the increasingly fierce battle for succession in Beijing.

Du Jinning has a deep contradiction with the Qi family, after the fifth prince comes, if Qi Yuandao's status is raised, Qi Siyu is estimated to start being a demon again. The first person he used to open the knife may be Du Jinning. Because of this, Qi Muyuan was very displeased with the trip of the five princes.

Qi Bokun thought about it and knew why his grandson frowned, and comforted: "The fifth prince is still very good, no matter how much Qi Yuandao spoils his grandson, he doesn't dare to let his grandson do things in front of the fifth prince." Whatever tricks his grandson really wants, you just have to poke it out. The fifth prince is not only going to visit Qi Yuandao, but he is definitely coming here as well. When the time comes, I crooked my mouth in front of him and told Qi Siyu what he did, and Qi Yuandao himself couldn't do well. ”

Qi Muyuan listened and nodded approvingly.

It's not, it's okay if Qi Siyu doesn't make trouble, but once he does, maybe he will be the one who will be in trouble. Even if Qi Bokun doesn't say it here, he and Du Jinning will do it.

"You don't need to say it yourself, grandfather, when the time comes, we can just let the five princes know about it." He said, "Naturally, the knife should be stabbed in the back." ”

Qi Bokun and Yuan Xiuzhu couldn't help laughing.

Needless to say, everyone knows that Du Jinning must hold this point of view. Qi Bokun is an old fox in officialdom, not only does he not dislike this kind of "cunning", but also agrees with it very much. He was most worried that his grandson was too upright. Now it is very good, with a righteous heart, but without losing the means.

For this, he sincerely thanked Du Jinning.

Yuan Xiuzhu is not a pedantic person. And this old gentleman is very protective of his shortcomings, and his own children are doing the right thing. If someone bullies their own children, they will definitely have to take revenge.

Qi Bokun told again: "You and Xiao Ning'er just know about this matter, don't spread it." After all, it is a matter of royalty, and if something happens to the five princes on the road, we will not be able to get rid of it. ”

"Grandfather, don't worry, Du Jinning and I both know the severity."

Qi Bokun nodded.

Qi Muyuan returned to the academy and quietly told Du Jinning about the coming of the five princes.

Du Jinning had the same opinion as Qi Bokun: "It's okay. I will tell Zhuang Yue and Yao Shuqi to be careful. As long as you are careful to prevent crimes, you are not afraid of others doing things. At the restaurant, you tell them to be careful in all aspects of hygiene and procurement during this time. After all, it's food, and it's easy to have accidents."

"Okay."

For the sake of caution, the two of them screened the business everywhere, wanting to see where there were problems that were likely to occur, and let the shopkeeper take precautions when the time came.

After talking for a while, I suddenly heard someone outside shouting: "Du Jinning." ”

Hearing that it was Lu Jiuyuan's voice, Du Jinning was very surprised, and hurriedly stood up and walked out, and sure enough, he saw Lu Jiuyuan and the three of them standing in the courtyard.

She hurriedly arched her hand and said, "Why are the three gentlemen here?" What is the matter, even if the husband comes to call me, how can I bring it to my relatives? ”

Qi Muyuan also came out to greet him.

"It's okay, it's okay." Lu Jiuyuan walked over with a smile, followed Du Jinning's gesture into her room, and sat down in the living room.

In the past two years, they have a very good relationship with Du Jinning, and they will come here from time to time to discuss their knowledge, so they are also familiar with Du Jinning's dormitory. Although Du Jinning didn't show much dry goods in front of them, many of her remarks were still very inspiring to the three of them. And because Yuan Xiuzhu had beaten the three of them, Lu Jiuyuan and they didn't dare to fool Du Jinning as an ignorant child, and with an equal attitude, Yuan Xiuzhu also let them go.

Du Jinning served them tea, and after a cold noise, Qi Muyuan was about to say goodbye, when he heard Lu Jiuyuan say: "Qi Muyuan, don't go, sit down and listen." ”

Qi Muyuan had to sit down.

Lu Jiuyuan looked at the two of them and said with a serious expression: "We just received a post from Qi Yuandao, and he is going to hold a lecture in half a month. ”

Du Jinning and Qi Muyuan glanced at each other.

Half a month later. Counting the news of the five princes mentioned by Qi Bokun, isn't that exactly the time the five princes stayed here? It seems that Qi Yuandao also got the news there, so he hurriedly took this opportunity to hold a lecture hall, so that he could show his face in front of the five princes.

Du Jinning asked, "Who can participate in his lecture?" Do I have to have a post to get in? ”

"No, no, no." Peng Shicheng was the most anxious, and hurriedly interjected, "As long as you are a scholar, you can participate." It's just that those who hold the post will have a seat, and the others will be isolated from a certain range, and they can only observe, not speak. ”

Hearing the string song and knowing the elegant meaning, Du Jinning knew what they were in such a hurry to come here for.

She sighed deliberately: "It seems that when the time comes, we will only be able to listen to the lecture from a distance and will not be able to participate in this grand event." ”

Peng Shicheng couldn't help laughing, pointed at Du Jinning and said, "You kid, what are you pretending to be stupid?" I know that we will definitely not pull you down, but I still want to say such things. ”

Lu Jiuyuan took out two posts from his sleeve pocket and handed them to Du Jinning: "I said that a few protégés were going, and I specially asked them for two more posts." Although the Qi family was not happy, it was not easy to refuse, so they asked someone to send it. ”

Du Jinning took it and opened it to see that the top of the head was blank, as long as the name was added.

She handed one to Qi Muyuan, stood up and thanked the three of them: "Thank you three gentlemen for your support." ”

Although Lu Jiuyuan and the others took her there for selfishness, they wanted her to help them win the debate. And without Lu Jiuyuan, Yuan Xiuzhu can also get a post. But after all, the other party is a gentleman, and she has always been very thoughtful about Lu Jiuyuan and the others.
