After sending off Master Matthew.

Qi Zhan and the two concubines went back to the room first.

Qin Le and Qi Cai'er strolled by the small pond of King Qi's mansion.

"You just ...... Why in front of so many people...... Say that kind of shameful thing? ”

Qi Cai'er's cheeks flushed slightly.

Qin Le's public confession just now really made her inner deer crash.

If Qi Caier's feelings for Qin Le were mostly guilty of repaying her kindness.

So from this moment on, her mentality slowly changed in the direction of love.

When Qin Le heard this, he immediately felt that this was an opportunity.

So while Qi Caier was not paying attention, he directly took her little hand and put it on his chest.

"You...... What do you do......"

Qi Cai'er was a little flustered, but Qin Le put his finger to his mouth: "Shh...... You listen ......"

Thump! Thump!

Qin Le's powerful heartbeat was transmitted to Qi Cai'er's senses through the sense of touch.

Qi Cai'er magically found that her heartbeat was slowly synchronizing with Qin Le!

She looked up suddenly, and saw Qin Le's eyes that implied autumn waves.

"Actually...... I don't have to say what I like you directly, you should know my sincerity with the most basic senses, the reason why I confessed to you in front of everyone before was mainly to ask for a name, after all, Concubine Jia and Concubine Jing didn't agree with our marriage very much, so I had to ......"

Qi Cai'er hurriedly withdrew her hand and stammered, "I...... I know, but I'm not ready right now...... I was still sick when you got into the old age, so ...... So let's take our time, shall we? ”

The corners of Qin Le's mouth raised slightly, because Qi Cai'er did not directly reject him, which meant that he had a chance.

And he also took advantage of the action just now to get closer to Qi Caier.

Anyway, it's still early, and he's not in a hurry.

In the night scene, the two just looked into each other's eyes and did not talk too much.

Qi Cai'er said in a panic: "It's not too early...... I'll go back to my room to rest first......"

With that, she covered her little face and ran all the way back to the county lord's room.

Qin Le chuckled and shook his head: "It seems ...... A month is still too long, a little girl like the county lord who is just starting to fall in love, a week ...... No, you can take it in five days, right? ”

While laughing, Qin Le also returned to his room to rest.

……

Early the next morning, Qi Zhan summoned Qin Le to the council hall again.

Concubine Jia and Concubine Jing were also sitting on the left and right sides of Qi Zhan as they were yesterday.

It's just that Qi Cai'er is missing today.

Qin Le guessed that it was most likely that Qi Zhan saw his performance at the banquet last night and was ready to give him some rewards.

Sure enough, after everyone sat down, Qi Zhan looked at Qin Le with a smile on his face.

"Qin Le, yesterday you really gave us the face of the head of the Qi Palace, the aggrieved expression of Master Ma when he left, this king still remembers it vividly, hahaha!"

It was also the first time Qin Le had seen Qi Zhan so happy.

It is estimated that the relationship between King Qi and the emperor may not be very good.

Otherwise, I wouldn't have such an attitude towards that Matthew.

It wasn't until Qi Zhan finished laughing that he suddenly sank his face, and asked solemnly at Qin Le: "Qin Le, this king asks you, do you really want to marry the county lord as your wife?" ”

Qin Le's heart was suddenly overjoyed, wouldn't the opportunity to perform in front of his father-in-law come!

So he clenched his hands into fists and replied seriously: "Since I met the county lord at the Lantern Festival since I was a child, I have sworn that I will not marry the county lord in this life, and if there is a violation of the sky, there will be five thunders!" ”

"Good! Very good! Now that the unhealthy atmosphere of Daqian is flourishing, it is really rare to have a man as single-minded as you......"

Qin Le felt a little disdainful in his heart.

"As the saying goes, the upper beam is not right and the lower beam is crooked, you, as a prince, have married so many concubines...... This crooked spirit was brought up by your royal children, right? ”

But he still replied quietly on the surface: "The prince doesn't know, my parents died when I was a child, and I grew up eating hundreds of meals, so I naturally cherish this hard-won relationship very much, and it is enough to have a wife, and I will have nothing to ask for in the future......."

Qi Zhan was slightly moved in his heart.

My daughter is blessed to meet such an infatuated man.

As soon as he wanted to open his mouth to agree to the marriage, he heard Concubine Jia say again in a weird way: "Heh, you have been an orphan since you were a child? Qin Le, Qin Le, it's not me saying you, if you want to marry our county lord, not to mention that you are a scholarly family, at least you have to be a descendant of a wealthy businessman, you are a father who doesn't love your mother...... If you want to marry the county lord, it's too high, right? ”

Concubine Jing also said with a cold face: "Yes, handing over the county lord to someone like you who has no identity, we two are really not at ease as aunts, besides, you have been eating and drinking for nothing in the Qi Wangfu for so long before, you have to repay this kindness, right?" ”

Qin Le sneered: "I understand, the two ladies are planning to negotiate terms with me?" ”

"Not bad! It seems that you are not stupid yet. ”

Concubine Jing said coldly: "I also said before that if you want to marry the county lord, you must be an all-rounder who can write and martial arts, as for the text, we have also learned it at the reception banquet of Master Ma before, so you will test your martial arts next, if you are not qualified, then in the days to come, you will not want to see the county lord again!" ”

Concubine Jia also added with a sneer: "Not only that, the county lord will definitely take over the position of the prince in the future to govern this huge Qi Palace, so the county horse who assists her must also be a shrewd person who is proficient in operations." ”

Qin Le listened a little impatiently.

So he said: "Let's just make it clear, what do you want me Qin Le to do?" ”

Concubine Jia and Concubine Jing glanced at each other, and then set their eyes on Qi Zhan.

I saw Qi Zhan clear his throat and said in a deep voice: "Qin Le, from now on, this king will appoint you as the account manager of the Qi Palace, and in a month's time, you have to double the original tax on the premise of not arousing the anger of the people, or you can use your own method to earn enough 10,000 taels of silver." ”

Qin Le's eyes grew slightly.

He had heard before that the ancient officials were essentially extremely black-hearted capitalists.

Now that I look, it really is!

But before Qi Zhan's words were finished, he paused for a while, and then said: "I haven't told you before, but this king guesses that the reason why the imperial brother wants to cut the feudal domain is mostly because of the Xiongnu in the north, and there is another change." ”

Qin Le was slightly stunned, no matter how the world changes, the enemies that the Central Plains people have to face are always the barbarians of these frontiers.

It seems that some things will not change.

And he also guessed what Qi Zhan was going to say next.

Sure enough, Qi Zhan took a sip of tea, and then directly stated his purpose: "While making money, this king will also send you some soldiers and horses to go to the frontier to resist the invasion of the Huns, if you can complete these two things properly, when the time comes, don't say that this king, even the royal brother will officially give marriage, so that the two of you can be regarded as justifiable......"
