Xiao Jingxing looked at Qin Wan for a long time, "Jiaojiao, I never knew when I told you that I wanted to give Jinru Xu to the steward and be a steward lady?" ”

"Are you reluctant?" Qin Wan looked at Xiao Jingxing with a weak heart, and without waiting for him to answer, he said preemptively: "You actually eavesdropped on me, this is the county lord's mansion, even if you are a guest of the county lord's mansion, you can't be so rude!" Beware of being caught as a thief! ”

Xiao Jingxing approached Qin Wan and winked at her, "Jiaojiao, you haven't answered my question yet." ”

"What is there to answer, I am just helping you adjust and teach people, so that they know what duty is and what is wishful thinking."

"It's time to train," Xiao Jingxing nodded thoughtfully, "This kind of thing should have been done by you." ”

"What do you mean?" Qin Wan glared at Xiao Jingxing vigilantly.

Xiao Jingxing leaned in front of Qin Wan, and under the tip of his nose was a familiar and quiet fragrance, faint, if he didn't smell it carefully, he really couldn't smell it. But it was this faint and ethereal smell that made him feel ape.

Suppressing the impatience in his heart, Xiao Jingxing pretended to be careless and said, "Over the years, you have learned a lot of things in the backyard with Aunt Bai, shouldn't you practice your hands?" ”

Qin Wan sneered, "You still need to say that I have always taken care of such a big backyard as the county lord's mansion?" ”

This is a big deal, the affairs of the county lord's mansion have always been taken care of by Bai Zhishui, but Bai Zhishui never interfered in Qinwan's affairs and let her go.

Xiao Jingxing didn't debunk it, but said: "The county lord's mansion is yours, what can you practice with it?" Here are the people who dare to oppose you. If you want to practice, you have to do it really, with live ammunition, I will lend you Xiao Mansion to play? ”

Qin Wan squinted, "The people in the Xiao Mansion are all your people, what do I have to do." ”

Those people all obeyed Xiao Jingxing's orders, and when they saw Xiao Jingxing's attitude towards her, they would not do anything disobedient to her, what is the difference between practicing in Xiao Mansion and practicing in the county lord's mansion.

"That's different," Xiao Jingxing said, "how can your own territory be the same as someone else's?" ”

Qin Wan said amusedly: "Since the Xiao Mansion is not my territory, why should I go to the backyard?" Besides, you're getting one thing wrong. ”

Xiao Jingxing tilted his head and looked at her.

Qin Wan said with a smile: "To say something shameless, in the future, I will marry into Duanwangfu, and Duanwangfu is also my territory, and I still manage the affairs of my own territory." ”

The implication is that the Xiao Mansion is really "someone else's territory".

Xiao Jingxing smiled bitterly and shook his head.

"I said, are you addicted to climbing out of windows? I heard my eldest brother say, then Wei Zide was caught by you by climbing the window. Glancing at Xiao Jingxing up and down, Qin Wan continued with a smile, "This is also a great skill, you have to make good use of it, and you will rely on it to soar in the future." ”

Xiao Jingxing nodded instructively.

Seeing that he was so interested, Qin Wan felt bored, "What are you doing here?" ”

Xiao Jingxing is upright, "Naturally, it's a serious matter, I'm here for Qin Ruizhuo." ”

"What's wrong with my eldest brother?" Qin Wan immediately asked.

"He's fine," Xiao Jingxing reassured, "I'm just afraid that you'll be worried, so I ran this trip." ”

Qin Wan twisted her eyebrows, "What's going on?" ”

Xiao Jingxing left the county lord's mansion, and it was already after a cup of tea.

In the next few days, the county lord's mansion was no different from usual, but because of the taste of the New Year, it became more lively.

Xiao Jing got the old emperor's will, led his people to hunt down Qin Mingxuan with all his might, and even led people to kill Xuancheng, which was not far from Shengjing, but he returned after staying in Xuancheng for a few days.

Just when everyone was watching the development of the situation, Qin Mingxuan suddenly appeared outside the palace gate.

Even the Imperial Forest Army guarding the palace gate was inexplicable, and didn't understand how this person who was being hunted down knelt at the palace gate so magnificently, without a little weakness or begging for mercy, so he knelt quietly.

Until some of them reported it layer by layer, and finally Gonggong Wen got the will of the old emperor, personally went to the palace gate, and brought Qin Mingxuan to the imperial study.

This matter spread before the early dynasty, Zhang Ruishun stood on the court, his brows furrowed, and he didn't know how Qin Mingxuan could appear at the palace gate intact. Although he is not stupid enough to do something to Qin Mingxuan, but his good brotherhood, if Qin Mingxuan is inexplicably gone at this time, his suspicion is the greatest.

Such a good opportunity, how could his good brothers let it go?

Therefore, Zhang Ruishun was more nervous about Qin Mingxuan's safety than anyone else, and he even carefully pondered whether to protect Qin Mingxuan's safety. But he also knew that it was best not to have any contact with Qin Mingxuan at this time, as for the rest of the matter, only one step at a time. It's just that he didn't expect that Qin Mingxuan would have such a great ability, avoiding Xiao Jingxing's pursuit, and arrived at the palace gate alone.

Zhang Ruishun had to think about whether Qin Mingxuan had a helper or hole card that he didn't even know, otherwise he wouldn't have appeared at the palace gate so grandiosely, and he went to the imperial study without fear.

Or, Qin Mingxuan is going to protect himself?

For the latter, Zhang Ruishun is not worried at all.

Since he dared to hand over the matter of private salt to Qin Mingxuan, he naturally kept his hands behind, but now that his eyes were blind, he was very angry at this grievance of not being able to control the overall situation.

"The prince is not worried at all?"

Hearing the voice behind him, Zhang Ruishun glanced back, "Third brother." ”

The third prince nodded slightly at Zhang Ruishun, "The younger brother heard that Qin Mingxuan has entered the palace, and the prince is not worried at all?" ”

Asked again.

Zhang Ruishun chuckled, "It's something that has nothing to do with His Highness, why should His Highness be worried?" ”

The third prince echoed: "Also, it's something that has nothing to do with the prince, and the prince doesn't need to hurt his mind for this." ”

"Third brother has something to say?" Because there was something in his heart, Zhang Ruishun was too lazy to make a mistake with the three princes, and asked bluntly.

The third prince smiled in a good temper, "The prince misunderstood his younger brother, and the younger brother just cared about the prince, so he came to ask a few words, and he didn't mean anything else." Let's not talk about this matter, my father has his own decision, it is the brotherhood between us, and the younger brother is also on the side of the prince. ”

Zhang Ruishun raised his eyebrows.

The third prince has no ambition to compete for the prince on the surface, and he is also the gentlest and best talkative among the brothers on weekdays.

Over the years, he has never been particularly close to any brother, nor has he faced anyone openly and secretly, so he is so alone and wise to protect himself.

But the more this is the case, the more Zhang Ruishun is jealous.

Those who can stand up to the present like a "clear stream" in the whirlpool of contention for storage are definitely not mediocre people.

Thinking of the last time the third prince vaguely helped him speak in the court, Zhang Ruishun began to ponder in his heart.

He was not arrogant enough to think that the Third Emperor Brother was going to take refuge in him, he was at a disadvantage now, and it was easier to attack him by his side.

Zhang Ruishun doesn't admit his conspiracy theories, but he is suspicious by nature and doesn't believe in anyone except himself.

Today's morning court was a tea time later than usual, which made everyone even more uneasy, until they saw the old emperor sitting on the dragon chair, and everyone bowed one after another.

The process of the early dynasty was still the same as in the past, the old emperor dealt with several small and small government affairs, and with a wave of his hand, he announced his retirement from the dynasty.

Everyone looked at each other.

What does that mean?

The more the old emperor was so indifferent, the more bottomless Zhang Ruishun's heart became.

I don't know what Qin Mingxuan said to the old emperor in the imperial study, whether it is good or bad, he should question him a few words, and even ask him to confront Qin Mingxuan, but the old emperor should not have such a thing at all, what do you mean?

No one knows what Qin Mingxuan said to the old emperor in the imperial study, only that he left the palace gate safely and returned to the Qin mansion.

After worrying for a few days, Ji finally breathed a sigh of relief when he saw his son come back safely, let the kitchen prepare for food, and went to Qin Mingxuan's courtyard in person.

"Mingxuan ......" Seeing Qin Mingxuan covered in dust, Ji was sadder than anyone else.

I think at the beginning, her son is a "prodigy" in Shengjing once in a century, although she is not a serious housewife of the Prime Minister's house, but she enjoys everything that a housemother should have, a pair of children is not only her dependence, Qin Dongshan is her hole card, how beautiful it used to be, how depressed it is now. With a strong contrast, Ji is sometimes confused, and she even asks herself - is her choice wrong?

But the ensuing ambition made Ji extremely firm - she was not wrong when people went to high places!

Everything she has in the future belongs to her children, and she does it for them, so she is not wrong!

"Mother, why are you here?" Qin Mingxuan rubbed his eyebrows and said tiredly.

Ji looked at Qin Mingxuan distressedly, motioned to Mama to put the food box on the table, watched Mama put the food on the table, and then said: "Mother just came to see you, Mother is very worried these days, for fear of ......"

Speaking of the back, Ji's eyes were red.

"Let my mother worry, it's my son who is not filial." Qin Mingxuan said guiltily.

Ji said earnestly: "My mother knows that I have to support the entire pianist, your burden is very heavy, and my mother can't bear it, but ......"

"As the only man in the family, the son naturally has to support the entire piano family, this is the son's responsibility, and the mother does not have to blame herself. The father is gone, all these should be done by the son, not to mention, our Qin family should be a family flattered by everyone in the aristocratic circle, if it weren't for Qin Wan'......"

Qin Mingxuan's eyes were scarlet, and he didn't know if he was tired or hateful.

"Qin Wan...... I'm afraid we won't be able to deal with it. Ji said faintly, "It's also a big mother, think that you and Mingyue are a little worse than Qin Ruizhuo and Qin Wan in addition to their identities?" Therefore, even if she is despised by outsiders, her mother will use all kinds of means to fight for an identity for you and Mingyue. In terms of talent and means, which of you is worse than that pair of straw bales? It's my mother's incompetence, I can't give you an identity as a descendant, and when I think of this, my mother feels uncomfortable. ”

Qin Mingxuan choked up and soothed: "Mother, it's my son who is incapable and makes you suffer." ”
