Chapter 199: Meet the Prince
Walking through the garden, the two came to an annex.
This annex is said to be a separate courtyard, but both in terms of scale and internal quality, it far surpasses all the annexes where Su Qi'an lives.
At a glance, there are various gardens, corridors, small bridges, etc. in front of you.
Below the bridge, there is a huge pond where fish frolic and behind it, an annex mansion, looming over the forest on both sides.
It looks very quiet, but as you walk in, you can feel a magnificent atmosphere.
The Ninth Princess was in front, leading Su Qi'an all the way through the verandah and towards the wooden platform on the side of the pond.
What Su Qi'an wants to see this time is Su Kang, the sixth prince.
Su Xuanyong gave birth to a total of seven princes and three princesses, excluding the eldest prince who died early, that is, the former prince.
and the five princes, seven princesses, and eight princes who died young, and now there are only four princes and two princesses who have survived.
And because of the harmony of the third princess, she married far away in the Western Regions, and by Su Xuanyong's side, only the ninth princess remained by her side.
It is precisely because there is only one daughter of the ninth princess by her side that Su Xuanyong is quite fond of her.
All the places in the imperial city are basically no restrictions on the ninth princess, even his elder brothers, who also love this little sister around him.
The ninth princess looked for a while, and soon looked at the familiar figure on the wooden platform.
beckoned, and the ninth princess said, "Hehe, guess that the sixth brother is fishing here."
What caught Su Qi'an's eyes was a young man dressed in white, although his appearance was not handsome, but he was very attractive, with a little perseverance on his face.
According to the ninth princess, his sixth brother is also an outstanding talent, and his kung fu is good, but it is a pity that in the early years, in order to subdue a fierce horse, he fell off the horse.
Although he saved his life, his legs and feet were disabled, and he experienced some things later, and he seemed to see it, and gradually became obsessed with fishing and self-cultivation.
Su Kang, the sixth prince, turned his head to look at the ninth princess, with a soft look on his face, and chuckled.
"Hehe, the ninth sister is so free, come to accompany your sixth brother."
"Hey, this should be the great talent that my father said, Uncle Dongshan."
"Well, it's really a talent, and his bearing is extraordinary, and it is my great blessing that the ancestor of Yulin has such an excellent junior."
"I've seen the Six Princes." Su Qi'an saluted respectfully.
The sixth prince waved his hand casually and said softly, "Hey, you and I are a family, Uncle Dongshan doesn't need to be so polite, in terms of age, I still have to call you cousin."
"Such a talent, I don't know if there is a marriage match, I think that the ninth sister and you are quite suitable, we can kiss each other."
"Sixth brother, what are you talking about?" The ninth princess immediately changed her face and said a little angrily, but if you look closely, you will find that the ninth princess's cheeks are slightly red.
The words of the sixth prince also made Su Qi'an stunned, and then Su Qi'an hurriedly said.
"The sixth prince laughed, I already have a wife, and Su doesn't dare to be the ninth princess."
Su Qi'an put his posture very low, it should be the beginning of entering the imperial city, that's it.
He understands a truth, the respect of several princes for him is not really in fear that he is a descendant of the royal family.
After all, in these years, there are so many descendants of the royal family, if it weren't for Su Qi'an's talent in both civil and military affairs, even if he was the queen of Yongchuan, but in front of this group of real princes and princes, it was far from enough.
In the Imperial City, it's always right to be careful.
The Sixth Prince nodded with some regret and said softly, "Oh, so that's the case, that's a pity."
"Sixth brother, you still said that you are like this, and the little sister ignores you." The mouth of the ninth princess was bulging, and her small fists were clenched, which seemed to have the intention of smashing.
The sixth prince laughed and said with a smile, "Okay, okay, the sixth brother is not joking, this royal cousin, I have seen it too."
"Take your mission and go to see Little Ten, don't waste time."
Nine
The princess withdrew her fist, stared at Su Kang angrily, and the next moment, she left this courtyard with Su Qi'an.
Walking out of the courtyard, the ninth princess looked at Su Qi'an with an apologetic look and explained.
"I'm sorry sir, that's the case with the sixth brother, don't care, sir."
Su Qi'an shook his head, "Don't the Ninth Princess know Su Mou, Su Mou is not the kind of narrow-minded person, but I think the relationship between the Sixth Prince and the Ninth Princess is quite close."
Speaking of this, the ninth princess showed a smug look and nodded, "That's right, my father gave birth to a few of us, but in terms of relationship, the sixth brother is the best for me, if it wasn't for that accident, I'm afraid the sixth brother is the most qualified candidate to become the prince."
The ninth princess's words, Su Qi'an was noncommittal, he did not refute, judging from the contact with the six princes, his temperament is indeed much better than that of the second prince and the fourth prince.
But I don't know if Su Qi'an is thinking too much, or what, in the contact just now, he always felt that the approachability of the sixth prince seemed to hide a long-suppressed emotion.
That kind of emotion is extreme, most of them will not explode, or even for a lifetime, just like ordinary people.
But as long as you hit a point, or get an opportunity, the extremes in your heart will completely explode.
Of course, these are Su Qi'an's speculations, and there is no substantive evidence, it may be that he was too cautious in the imperial city, and he was a little too cautious.
Su Qi'an, who came back to his senses, walked out of the courtyard and followed the ninth princess to a huge garden.
In the middle of the garden, the most eye-catching is a rockery, which occupies a huge area, occupying about half of the garden.
At this time, near the rockery, there was a large group of people around, including maids and eunuchs.
Their faces were anxious, and several of them even climbed towards the rockery, and their voices sounded.
"Little prince, don't move, wait for the old slave to come up and pick you up, you have to be obedient, don't fall down."
Following their gaze, at the top of the rockery, there was a young child, about eight or nine years old.
The child did not listen to the advice of the eunuch at all, and cautiously crept towards the top of the rockery.
In front of him, there was a white cat, the child's eyes flashed with excitement, and little by little he approached the white cat, whispering.
"Good cat, don't be afraid, I'll save you right away."
The next moment, the pink child jumped and grabbed the white cat with both hands, but the moment he grabbed it, his body was volleyed.
The next moment, she fell directly off the rockery, and the maid below who saw this scene couldn't help but close her eyes and scream.
At this moment, a sharp sound of breaking wind sounded in the air, and a long fiery red whip wrapped around the waist and abdomen of the falling boy.
The whip rope was forced, and the boy's body flew towards the Nine Princesses.
At the moment of contact, the long whip broke free, and Su Qi'an, who was beside the ninth princess, made a move, he was quick to move, hugged the boy, and finally put it down safely.
The boy stood firm, his eyes flashing, and there was no fear in his eyes, but a little excitement.
"Little Old Ten, you are naughty again, how dangerous it was just now, believe it or not, I will tell my father about this matter, and let my father manage you well."
Su Xian was not afraid of the Ninth Princess's reproach, and arched the white cat in his hand towards the Ninth Princess, and said with a smile, "Hehe, isn't this a sister, don't you see that I'm fine."
Looking at Su Xian, who was smiling into a crescent moon, even if the ninth princess wanted to lose her temper, at this time, she was not angry.
At this time, the eunuchs and maids who had protected Su Xian just now ran over one after another, looked at Su Xian, who was fine, and knelt down one after another, with a thick look of horror on their faces.
Suddenly, a slightly sharp voice sounded, "What are you all doing, the Ten Princes are so young, fortunately the Ninth Princess appeared, if something happens to the Ten Princes, can you afford it?"
The one who spoke was a chamberlain eunuch, who hurried over, with an unconcealable anger on his face.
This inner eunuch is specially responsible for taking care of Su Xian's daily life, and he has great power
。
In the imperial city, there are only four eunuchs, who are dedicated to managing the inner servants and maidservants in the imperial city.
Moreover, these four people are Su Xuanyong's henchmen, and they are deeply trusted by Su Xuanyong, and the degree of trust is no less than that of several commanders of the forbidden army.
And Wang Xian, who had a holiday with Su Qi'an, was one of the four eunuchs.
Hearing the rebuke of the eunuch, the servants and maidservants who knelt on the ground trembled.
"Although the Ten Princes are fine, but your protector is not effective, it is difficult to escape the blame, and someone will drag it down, and all of them will be killed."
These servants and maidservants hurriedly kowtowed and begged for mercy, but the eunuch's face was indifferent and he was not distracted.
Su Qi'an's heart was a little uncomfortable, but he didn't say anything, looking at the ninth princess beside him, the ninth princess was also silent.
After all, the eunuch has his jurisdiction, and there are some things that even the ninth princess can't interfere with.
But at this moment, the Ten Princes spoke, "Father-in-law, this matter has nothing to do with them, forget it."
"The slave knows that His Highness is kind-hearted, but if this is the case, the people behind will definitely follow suit, and when the time comes, it will really endanger His Highness's safety, and the old slave can't afford it." The eunuch looked bitter.
But Su Xian shook his head firmly and said, "Father-in-law, I said, this matter has nothing to do with them, let them go, could it be that father-in-law doesn't even listen to me?" If that's the case, I'll report to my father and ask him to spank your ass."
Su Xian was a little childish threat, and Su Qi'an was a little funny when he saw it, but the face of the eunuch on the field changed, and he could only nod helplessly.
The attendants and maidservants who had been pardoned kowtowed again and again, bent over and quickly retreated.
"Father-in-law, go get busy, I'll call you if there's something."
"The old slave understands." Immediately, the eunuch turned and left.
When they all left, Su Xianfang turned his head, revealing the innocence of a child, first swayed with the ninth princess, and then turned his head, looked at Su Qi'an, and said with a serious look.
"I know you, you are the uncle of Dongshan who is appreciated by my father? It's still my cousin."
"Hey, come with the ninth sister, are you together? Wait, you're my cousin, how can you be with Sister Nine?"
Su Xian's sudden words instantly made the Ninth Princess, Su Qi'an's face full of black lines.
