Jiu Gu

Ji Changqin sat at the dining table, looking at the four dishes and one soup on the table, not to mention that the appearance was not exquisite enough, just these few dishes appeared on the dining table of the palace, it was really shabby enough.

Those who didn't know thought that their state of Jin was about to perish, and that a majestic prince's food was not as fine as that of others.If it weren't for knowing that his father and mother had rewarded him with countless properties, Ji Changqin would have felt that the Rong Palace was almost too poor to be solved.

The eunuch who was following him wanted to come over to try the dishes for him, but Ji Changqin stretched out his hand and refused, "No need."

The eunuch hesitated, Ji Changqin frowned, "Xiao Yu is not an outsider, so I don't need those."

The eunuch secretly groaned, it was his job to try food for the crown prince, not to mention outside, even in the palace, he also wanted to try food.

Gu Jiu felt a toothache when he saw it. Originally, he was already very upset that the meal made by his family Xiao Shitou was shared by an outsider. The outsider still looked disgusted and embarrassed, so he suddenly became unhappy, "Qingzhu, where are you going to die I went, didn’t I see His Royal Highness come down, and I don’t know how to ask the kitchen to cook some dishes.”

Qingzhu knelt on the ground with a thud, and was also complaining in her heart. Normally, Gu Jiu only likes to eat the dishes made by Qi Jin. As long as Qi Jin does it, there will be nothing to do in the kitchen. As a result, there is no spare food in the kitchen recently.

I saw His Royal Highness enter the room just now, he has already asked someone to cook, but cooking is not a trick, he just blows his breath and comes out.I can't serve food for a while!

Ji Changqin sighed again, "Xiao Jiu, you should find someone to take care of the backyard here." In such a family, isn't the preparation of dishes at least doubled?How can there be a sudden guest coming to the house who doesn't even have to eat.

Gu Jiuhun didn't care, "I think Ah Jin's management is pretty good, if you didn't come suddenly, brother, we would definitely have enough to eat."

The corner of Ji Changqin's mouth twitched again, why did his brother talk more and more annoying?Feelings, he thinks that he is too much to be a brother, doesn't he?

Finally, Ji Changqin couldn't bear it and said, "Do you also have guests like this on weekdays?"

Gu Jiu looked blank, "Guest? What kind of guest?" Turning her head to look at Qi Jin solemnly, "Ah Jin, do you have any guests that you need to invite back home?"

Qi Jin shook his head hastily, he is not familiar with the place here, except for one Su Ziming, there is no one else he knows, and there are no guests here.

Ji Changqin was stunned, and then realized that Ji Changyu had never been close to anyone, except for one Li Jin who could catch his eye, the others, regardless of gender, liked to ignore them.And his identity is there, as long as he has no other thoughts, a majestic prince really doesn't need to let go/identity to please anyone.

Ji Changqin knew that the reason Ji Changyu did this was not only because of his temperament, but also because of him, the elder brother of the prince.

Ji Changqin felt that his nose was a little stuffy. His younger brother seemed careless, but he was actually a more transparent person than anyone else.

He raised his head and looked at the two people who were enthusiastically serving each other's food. His Royal Highness, who had been struggling all this time, finally picked up the bowl and chopsticks, waved away the hand of the eunuch who was about to serve him, and picked up a piece of braised pork ribs himself.

As soon as the pork ribs were in the mouth, Ji Changqin's slightly frowned brows relaxed a little. Although it was not as delicious as the cooks in the imperial dining room, it was not as difficult to eat as he imagined. He felt that it was the person his younger brother liked, and he still had to give it to him. It's two points of face, so I praised, "Not bad."

Qi Jin, who had already realized who the so-called big brother was, kept his body stiff until Ji Changqin praised him. He subconsciously grabbed a piece of fish and said, "Brother, try this, I just caught it..."

After putting the fish into Ji Changqin's bowl, he realized that something was wrong with his actions. Before he could react, Gu Jiu quickly stretched out his chopsticks, and caught the fish in Ji Changqin's bowl into himself. In the bowl, I picked another piece for Ji Changqin, and said solemnly, "Eat this piece, there will be less thorns."

Ji Changqin: "..." Enough is enough!

Ji Changqin, who had just eaten a meal, felt a little overwhelmed, and he swore that he would never come to Rongwang Mansion for dinner again!His Prince's Mansion is better, eat whatever you want, the chef's skills are at best worse than that of the father, the queen and the queen...

Thinking this way in his heart, he was aggrieved and ate two more bowls than usual. When he realized it, all the dishes made by Qi Jin were wiped out. Instead, the dishes made by the exquisite chefs who were brought up later, Basically untouched.

Gu Jiu looked at his cheap brother with disgust, and Ji Changqin also felt a little embarrassed, but when he met Gu Jiu's eyes, he kept his face upright, assuming an unmoving posture.

Gu Jiu didn't give up either, he could only think in his heart that he must not see his cheap brother at mealtimes in the future.

After eating and drinking enough, Gu Jiu looked up at the night outside, "It's getting late..."

Ji Changqin originally thought that he would ask him to stay overnight, but was about to refuse him, so he listened to Gu Jiudao, "Brother, you should go back early, it won't be good if the palace gate is locked later."

Ji Changqin: "..." Well, what kind of brother is this, he must be lost!

Ji Changqin walked out of Prince Rong's mansion angrily, and when he saw Gu Jiu waving at him with a smile on his face, he became very angry.

He got into the carriage angrily, and with the rumble of the wheels, the angry expression on his face gradually disappeared. He didn't know what he thought of, and he couldn't help but burst out laughing again.Although it seemed that his face was saved, Gu Jiu's natural attitude when facing him made him feel relaxed.

The father is strict with him, the mother is looking forward to him, the concubines are flattering to him, the courtiers and subordinates are respectful to him, those brothers and sisters are flattering to him... and calculating, everyone faces him They were all cautious and prudent, and he was used to wearing his own mask when talking to these people.

Only Ji Changyu is different, that is his direct brother, brother of the same father and mother, who is different from everyone else.

However, it is said that there is no small matter in the Tian family. Ji Changqin knows that Ji Changyu also attaches great importance to this brotherhood as he does, but they know that it does not mean that outsiders also know.The more power he has in his hands, the more Ji Changqin knows how attractive that position is.

Even sometimes he couldn't help but think, Xiao Jiu, would he also have thoughts about that position?

Ji Changqin didn't know if someone said something to Ji Changyu, or if Ji Changyu felt something, the intimacy between the two seemed to grow into a distance that no one wanted to see.

Then, the matter of Ji Changyu's masculinity suddenly broke out, and he cried and insisted on marrying Li Jin, which became known all over the city.After that, the restless forces surrounding him seemed to have suddenly disappeared.

After Ji Changqin heard the news, he couldn't calm down for a long time, and he didn't know what kind of mood he was feeling at that time.Shocked, guilty, regretful, unbearable... or fortunate.

Ji Changqin has never expressed any opinion on Ji Changyu's desire to marry a man. He even thought that after a few years his power will be completely stabilized, and after those restless courtiers are completely removed or suppressed by him, he will give Ji Changyu a good time. When choosing a marriage, the woman must be the best regardless of her status, status or appearance.

His younger brother must be worthy of the best.

Although he thought so, there was an invisible crack between him and Ji Changyu.

When Ji Changyu saw him, he no longer rushed over to call elder brother with a smile on his face, but saluted respectfully: I have seen His Royal Highness the Crown Prince.

A few short words widened the distance between the two of them.

At that moment, Ji Changqin knew that Ji Changyu had some resentment towards him after all.

Originally, Ji Changqin thought that the relationship between the two could only be eased after all the dust settled, but he didn't expect that things would cause trouble after Li Jin entered the court.

After Li Jin entered the court as an official with Tanhualang's high profile, Ji Changyu gave up harassing him. Just as Ji Changqin was thinking about whether to take this opportunity to choose a good marriage for him, he heard Ji Changyu from the street. I picked up news of a man going back on the Internet.

Ji Changqin listened to the news with dumbfounding. He managed to catch that weird little brother today, and was about to talk about the candidate he had chosen for him, when he saw the legendary male goblin who could seduce people like an evildoer at his house.

To be honest, there is a big gap between Qi Jin and his guess. In terms of good looks, she is indeed very good-looking, but her appearance is not indisputable coquettish beauty, but the kind of baby face that always looks younger than her actual age.

Her temperament is also very different from the smooth or coquettish she imagined, unlike the kind of dodder that clings to men for a living, but honest to a bit silly.

Ji Changqin noticed that Qi Jin's hands were covered with cuts and calluses of various sizes.In order to understand the sufferings of the people, his father once took him to the place where ordinary people lived. Those who worked every day had such hands.

It was a boy who was completely different from what he had imagined, completely different from nobles like them, but Ji Changqin found that the way Ji Changyu looked at that boy was different from everyone else.

Even if it's just an accidental glance, just for a moment, it's enough for the eyes of the two of them to be filled with brilliance.

That look... Ji Changqin thinks he's seen it somewhere.By the way, when he was just married, when his princess looked at him, she also had the same eyes. It seemed that every time she saw him, her eyes were filled with a brilliance that would make Baihua pale.

But since when did those eyes disappear?There are only gentle smiles, and the polite and alienated respect for each other...

When Ji Changqin's thoughts were racing, the carriage stopped suddenly, and the personal eunuch came to the curtain of the carriage and whispered, "Master, we're here."

Ji Changqin hummed, took back all his thoughts, tidied up the ordinary long gown that he didn't know when to change into, got out of the carriage, and entered a very inconspicuous house.

I didn't go back to the palace tonight because I came here to meet my counselors. If the emperor didn't get a satisfactory answer today, he will definitely bring it up again tomorrow.He came here to discuss with his advisers how to deal with this matter.
