I stretched out comfortably. I received news these days that the prince has taken the bait, so that I can temporarily put away these troublesome things. In fact, the Yongwang Mansion was busy to death today, and whoever asked the elder son to take the place of the Yongwang will be the vassal. According to the usual practice, the Yongwang will summon the officials to feast. I am not interested in this kind of thing, so I told his highness. I am going to take a good look at the few out-of-print ancient books sent to me by King Yong in the cold garden. His Royal Highness understands that I don’t like the lively mood, because today many princes and nobles will come to the banquet. In this way, the King Yong’s foreign residence may be too much. Messy, after all, many of them are qualified to stroll in the palace. As long as they don’t get close to a few forbidden places, then it doesn’t matter. In order to prevent anyone from disturbing me, His Royal Highness sent someone to guard the door for me and not allow others to enter. , In fact, your Highness meant that I might as well go to the back house to hide, but I didn't agree with the melon field. Anyway, there is someone guarding the cold garden. What am I afraid of?

Xiao Shunzi knows my temper the best. When we come together in the morning, she will open the doors and windows to let go of the stale air at night, and then light a furnace of fragrance. I changed into a loose robe and drank Xiao Shunzi to soak for me. The fragrant tea is really a fairy-like day. After watching for a while, I looked up accidentally and saw Xiao Shunzi holding a silver knife carving a piece of white jade. This is a habit he has developed recently. Since I forced him to carve a wooden doll for Roulan last time, Suddenly he liked to sculpt, and when he had nothing to do, he took a knife to carve. I once asked him why he suddenly liked these things. He mysteriously said to me that he found this to be a good way to practice. I always feel that there is no entry in martial arts. Who knows that in order to carve wooden figures well, he found that his moves were a little smoother and more natural. Then he found a new way to practice martial arts, although I don’t understand carving wooden figures and martial arts. What does it matter, but I still understand the analogy. Seeing Xiao Shunzi’s blunt and messy knife marks, I also feel that he seems to have made some progress. At least the things he sculpted are now lifelike, so I just bought it. Give him a pile of ordinary jade, let him carve and play with it. No, the book town on my book case was carved by him a few days ago.

Looking at him, I suddenly smiled and said: ‘Xiao Shunzi, although you like carving, you don’t have to practice every day. Your Royal Highness has a banquet in front of you. There is vaudeville music in front of you. Go and relax. ‘

Xiao Shunzi said lightly: ‘Today there are too many people outside, I don’t worry about you alone. ‘

I laughed and said: ‘You are too careful. This is the Yongwang Mansion. I’m just a small survivor. Who will assassinate me? Okay, let's go play, don't forget, you are only twenty years old, don't be like an old man all day long, then I will be guilty. ‘

Xiao Shunzi glared at me, but after all, he was still young, and those juggling and other things were also very attractive to him, but he was always a little worried about me. I smiled and said:'Well, let Hu Wei Call in and let him guard you here, so you can rest assured? ‘

Xiao Shunzi looked at the tea cup on the bookcase and said, ‘But someone has to serve tea. ‘

I reluctantly said: "Xiao Shunzi, don’t forget that I taught you to make tea. Okay, let’s go play. You are not allowed to follow me today. You have to keep the lantern for three days. You protected me last night. Forget it, today you go out for a good stroll, don't be bored in the mansion all day long, I will not go out, there will be no danger. ‘

Xiao Shunzi finally nodded and said: ‘Okay, I’ll go out and call someone, son, don’t worry about reading, I’ll arrange it. ‘

I looked at his back and smiled with relief. Is that right? A kid who is just 20 years old should have fun when he is so mature, although when I was 20 years old, because of this stinky kid He stole my entanglement and had to go to the top pick, but he didn't have to wrong himself.

Sent away Xiao Shunzi, I continued to indulge in the book, when Hu Wei came in and saw me, he didn’t respond, he followed for a while, until I sometimes forgot everything when I read the book , Then quietly retired without disturbing me. I don't know at this moment, the closest moment in my life to death is coming soon.

Qin Qing was dealing with his colleagues around him, while thinking about his own thoughts. Today, he came to the banquet on behalf of his father, but he didn't want to chat with those old foxes, so he hurriedly congratulated King Yong and ran outside Cai Cai Inside the shed, he watched the juggling being performed on the high platform, but he didn't even look into it. His mind was full of the shadows of Princess Changle and Jiang Zhe.

Back then, he asked the princess to run away, but was sternly refused. At that time, he was reckless and reckless. He accused the princess of ungratefulness and coveting the honor of the Queen of Nanchu. The princess went away in tears, but she was still proud of her back. He was deeply regretful, but unfortunately he did not have the opportunity to say the word sorry. Then he was thrown into the barracks after being heavily blamed by his father. He shot out this Fourth-Rank General Huwei with a single shot, but unfortunately he was not given the opportunity to go beyond that. The princess came back after the hateful Nan Chu fought, and he was both happy and sad when he knew this. What he hoped most was to lead the army to break Nan Chu, and then kneel in front of the princess to plead guilty, but now there is no such opportunity.

After the princess came back, he once asked his mother to go to the palace to convey his thoughts on her behalf, but it was a cold water that the princess had no affection for him. He was heartbroken, holding the last glimmer of hope, he participated in the martial arts performance, but he drew a tie with the little white face. Although knowing that this does not mean that he is inferior to Xiahou Yuanfeng, Qin Qing knows that he has completely lost the hope of reconciliation with the princess. , And after the martial arts contest, he was imprisoned by his father in the ancestral hall and punished to kneel. It was because of the dispute between himself and that Nanchu surrender. Qin Qing hated Nanchu deeply. Under his anger, even the people of Nanchu hated it. Jiang Zhe, this person, has gained a false name, and surrendered on his knees. He was still plausible. He satirized him a few words, but his father actually changed the family law to heavy responsibility. Now Qin Qing still remembers how his father scolded him with a face.

'Beast, I don't blame you for being mad, nor for your unreasonable anger, but you actually insulted the wise man in public. If this goes on, there is no future for my Qin family, you know what a big mistake this is . Jiang Zhe is not a mediocre person. He is the counselor of the Prince of Germany. Southern Chu takes Shu Zhong with ease. He has a long song that killed the King of Shu. He has a seal that shocks the heart of the aspiring people of Da Yong. This person is a national scholar. Also, you actually humiliated him because he was a vassal. Do you know that if this person is a little narrow-minded, your life will be in his hands in the future. ‘

Although I was dissatisfied, he still had to bow his head to admit his mistake to his furious father. It was not until yesterday that his father let himself out, and sighed: "Little slave, Tomorrow King Yong will summon a banquet, you go and congratulate the son of Jifan for me. Remember, I must find an opportunity to meet Jiang Sima and make amends to him. If this person hates you, I am afraid it will be a catastrophe after all. I have inquired that His Royal Highness regards this person as a confidant, and His Royal Highness Qi is also right. He is very respectful. Neither His Highness is a mediocre person. It can be seen that this person is very powerful. If you can't ask for his forgiveness, you will probably be bothered by you in the future. ‘

So I came to the Yongwang Mansion full of resentment, and I just wanted to admit a mistake indiscriminately, but just now, I learned a news that almost made me stunned. Princess Changle had an affair with that shameless surrender.

It was a coincidence to learn that this news was a coincidence. After seeing King Yong, he expressed his congratulations on behalf of his father. Although he was awkward, he still offered to apologize to Jiang Zhe. King Yong readily agreed, but said that Jiang Sima was always weak, and I was afraid that When I waited until I could see the guests, I let myself go to relax first. I reluctantly agreed, while slandering the useless scholar while watching the scenery in the Yongwang Mansion, but before long, I found two eunuchs whispering behind a pine forest. , I didn't intend to overhear, but the sentence I overheard made me stunned immediately.

It was an **** who triumphantly proclaimed to his companions that when Princess Changle went to the palace, she met Jiang Sima privately, but it turned out that the two had an affair in Southern Chu. If they hadn’t been ordered to serve Jiang Sima, I’m afraid Don't know such a big thing? Still boasting that Jiang Sima gave himself a thousand taels of silver, and said that if he is willing to keep his mouth shut, he will become the **** in the future and ask the **** to be the supervisor.

Qin Qing was dizzy when he heard this, and it took a long time to wake up. When he wanted to check, the two eunuchs were no longer there. Qin Qing stayed there, thinking about it, if the princess marries Wei Ying or Xiahou Yuanfeng, even though he is sad, he can still be convinced. If the princess really has an affair with that weak scholar, he will never be reconciled and think about it. Go, the princess has been gentle and gentle since childhood. It must be the survivor who seduce the princess. If it weren’t for King Yong to have something to say first, I’m afraid he would rush to question Jiang Zhe, so in the next time, whether it is watching juggling or doing other things Qin Qing was absent-minded. When he arrived, Qin Qing saw that the middle and lower-level officials had basically arrived, and found a guard to lead the way to meet Jiang Zhe. Those guards had long been ordered by King Yong, so he took them. Qin Qing walked towards the cold garden.

Although Qin Qing is full of anger, but after all, he is a generalist, he is also curious along the way. Since Jiang Zhe is the commander of Tiance Mansion Sima, Chang Shi Shi Yu is going to Youzhou to assist Shizi again, then In Yongwang Mansion, this person is under one person and above ten thousand people, but this person is getting more and more deserted, like an extremely remote guest house. Involuntarily, Qin Qing asked the guard who led the way: ‘Why does Jiang Sima live in such a remote place? ‘

The guard laughed and said: ‘General Qin knows something, Jiang Sima likes to be clean, so he chose the cold garden to live in. There is nothing to do, even the garden gate rarely comes out? ‘

Since Qin Qing has suspicion in her heart, she can't help but think about it, this person lives in a remote place, is it convenient to have a private meeting with the princess?

When he arrived at the cold garden, Qin Qing found that the place was heavily guarded. There were more than a dozen guards as he saw him. He led his guards to explain the situation to the guards in front of the door. After the guards entered, he came out in a while: 'Sima You invite General Qin. ‘

Qin Qing walked into the cold garden, but saw that it was really quiet and cold inside. It seems that Jiang Zhe really likes to be clean. He saw Hu Wei standing outside an Yaxuan door at a glance. Hu Wei is a close friend of King Yong His subordinates, Qin Qing knew very well. It seemed that King Yong really attached great importance to Jiang Zhe. Perhaps King Yong was backing Jiang Zhe and the princess, and Qin Qing's anger was even more fierce.

I was on the rise of reading books, and suddenly Hu Wei came in to report that General Qin Qingqin had come to see me. I was taken aback. This person was rude to me in public. What did he come to see me today? I wanted not to see, and remembered that if it was not an important matter, how would King Yong arrange for him to come over to see me, so he had to put down his books and was too lazy to change clothes. It was not a business matter anyway, and I couldn't bother for a while.

After a while, Qin Qing walked in and stared at me blankly. I was surprised and waved Hu Wei out, and asked:'What is important here, the general, please forgive me for his casual clothes. I'm used to being casual in the room, please sit down, the general. ‘

Qin Qing sat down silently, looking at the young man opposite, wearing a loose and comfortable green robe, his long hair was not tied up, just pulled it with a hairpin, his expression was leisurely and calm, Qin Qing had a strong feeling in front of him. This young man is not a secular person at all. Does he really have an affair with the princess? Qin Qing thought.

I see that this handsome general has been silent, and can't help being a little annoyed, so he coldly said: ‘What is the general’s business? If nothing happens, please forgive Zhe’s weakness and inconvenience to sit for a long time. 'After that, I picked up the tea bowl and sipped this superb Mengshan tea. This is the best of the tributes, and even his Royal Highness only has a few taels. I divided half of them for me. It is my favorite. It’s the only one on weekdays. I will have a drink in leisurely days. Who knows that I just took a sip and heard Qin Qing say coldly: "Are you really having an affair with Princess Changle? ‘

‘Puff. ‘All the tea in my mouth spurted out, I looked at Qin Qing in a daze, and stuttered and asked: ‘General Qin, what are you talking about? ‘

Qin Qing looked at me coldly and said: ‘I’m asking if you have an affair with Princess Changle. ‘

I subconsciously use my strengths. Yes, Hu Wei is so far away that I should not hear it. Why is there such a problem? I looked at Qin Qing and asked: ‘General Qin, with all due respect, what is your relationship with the princess? ‘

When Qin Qing heard this, his face flushed and said: ‘No? ‘

I feel that the cold hair on my body has grown up, knowing that this person has moved murderously, but after thinking about it, I can't let Hu Wei in. If this kind of rumors are spread out, I am afraid that King Yong will not be able to keep me. I calmly said: "Since the general has nothing to do with the princess, it is a bit wrong to ask the princess personally, but since the general has asked, if I don't answer, I will be a little guilty, but this matter can never be repeated. I also hope that the general will use his brain before asking. ‘

I looked at Qin Qing’s face and felt that there was still room, so I continued: “Zhe was originally a descendant of Southern Chu. It’s understandable that the general despised me, but the only advantage of Zhe’s life is his cleanliness and self-love, except for his dead wife. Besides, he never had an affair with another woman. If the general reprimanded Jiang Zhe for surrendering on his knees, Zhe would have to listen no matter what he was angry. Only these filthy remarks, although it seems to me, can not let you talk nonsense. ‘

Qin Qing's face changed again and again, and said coldly: "Do you dare to swear? ‘

I smiled contemptuously, and said faintly: "General, Jiang Zhe, who can face the gods of the sky, and the people of Li, swear that I will not do such things, but I might as well say that Zhe meets the princess. I only talked about it twice, once in Southern Chu. I was ordered to see it. The other was a few days ago when I met at the Yongwang Mansion. The princess was a golden branch and a jade leaf. She was also a queen of Nanchu. He was divided into monarchs and ministers from Zhe. For personal affairs, there will be no innocent people that day. ‘

Qin Qing calmed down. He could hear that although my words were sharp, there was no lie. He thought of hearing the rumors and coming to ask questions, but how to apologize to Jiang Zhe according to his father’s orders He clasped his fists and said: "I was wrong. This was what I heard from two eunuchs in the palace, please forgive me, Lord Sima. ‘

I got a chill in my heart and immediately raised my voice: ‘Hu Wei. ‘

Hu Wei immediately pushed the door in, and I said coldly:'Someone was talking nonsense and offended General Qin. You immediately bring them to see me, General Qin, what are these two people like? Where did they meet? of. ‘

Qin Qing didn't want to say anything, but when he saw Binghan in Jiang Zhe's eyes, he was shocked, and he said about the age and appearance of the two. After hearing this, Hu Wei thought for a while, and said, ‘My lord, these two people know ~ IndoMTL.com~ they are the father-in-law sent from the palace. Excuse me, do you bring people here? ‘

I thought about it for a while and said: ‘His Royal Highness is hosting a banquet today. Don’t disturb the guests. You arrested the two of them, put them in custody, and waited for His Highness’s disposal. ‘

After Hu Wei left, I looked at Qin Qing and said calmly: "General Qin, listen to my advice. The reason why my patron has been honored so far does not rely on power and bullying. I heard that General Fuyuan is very taciturn and speaks for himself. The most admirable thing is that the general is fair and decisive. If there is no offense, even the **** is not contemptuous. If there is a offense, the royal family will not give in. The general can think about it. There is something to boast about in the behavior these days. It's not for me to talk shallowly, and I can't bear to see the descendants of the general withered. ‘

Qin Qing should have been angry, but he felt that Jiang Zhe's words were similar to his father's daily meaning, and he did not dare to argue. Thinking of the anger and jealousy over the years, the more he thought about it, the more he became ashamed. He was originally a descendant of the generals, and he was taught by the strict father. Although he was confused for a while, he was not instinct after all. After thinking about it, he felt that his heart was empty and respectfully bowed: "Thank you for your teaching, Qing Xiangri offends Sir, please forgive me. ‘

I was surprised. I didn’t expect this person to know how to change, so I couldn’t help but picked him up and said: ‘The general is so gracious that he can’t bear it. If there is any offense, please forgive me. ‘

Qin Qing said frankly:'Sir, Qin Qing wanted to listen more to Mr.'s teachings, but he was ordered to congratulate him. The banquet was about to be held. Qing had to go out to congratulate His Royal Highness Yong King. Please enlighten me, sir. ‘

Unexpectedly, I turned the fighting into a jade silk, I couldn't help but sent him out of the cold garden by myself. After seeing him walking away, I suddenly heard someone yelling: ‘Anyone who is trespassing in the cold garden without restraint. ‘
