Prince Merry

Qin Zizhen washed up and changed his clothes. After breakfast, he went slowly to the flower hall.

"Your Majesty." Qin Butler bowed slightly, his bottomless eyes were as dark as the sea, and no dissatisfaction could be seen on his calm face.

"What's the matter?" Qin Zizhen raised his eyelids, his eyes gliding past him casually.

Qin Steward said respectfully: "The lord ordered the slaves to come and see if the prince is still used to living here?"

"I'm fine." Qin Zizhen looked indifferent, with a sarcasm on his lips. Qin Butler's attitude seemed to be respectful, but in fact he was defiant. The original owner had been irritated many times before. The prince sent him here, obviously uneasy and kind.

Butler Qin showed a usual smile on his face: "If you need anything, please don't be polite, just tell the servants to do it. The prince said that you are the son of Pingxi Palace after all, and you need to be careful in your actions."

Qin Zizhen was silent in his heart, and immediately understood that the box of jewels was to blame. Changchun and others went out to do errands under the name of Prince Pingxi, so it was not difficult to find out the origin of the jewels.If the original owner had been changed, he would have been irritated by Butler Qin. He didn't know how to act properly, and he even wanted a servant to point him out!

Qin Zizhen leaned lazily on the chair, sneering in his heart, Qin Butler was probably going to make a mistake this time, and made a weak look, Qin Zizhen said: "That's good, Qin Butler thanked my father for me, now I am My body is weak, and I need high-quality millennium ginseng and Ganoderma lucidum, please send someone to bring them to me."

Butler Qin was stunned: "Your Majesty is joking." Commander Wang had already reported clearly that Master Shizi is in good health, and he can run around Zhuangzi ten times a day, so he is not weak.

"Who's joking with you?" Qin Zizhen's eyes narrowed, and his face suddenly turned cold: "What a cowardly slave, you dare to lie to the master, and say that you can just tell me what you need. It turns out that you are just fooling people. It's so presumptuous!"

Butler Qin's complexion was gloomy, and a cold light flashed in his eyes. Before he could argue, Qin Zizhen said sharply: "Or is it that the father only asked you to pretend, and didn't care about me at all."

Butler Qin stopped talking, he couldn't bear such a big hat, even if what the son said was the truth, how dare he admit it.Butler Qin forced a smile, and replied respectfully: "Your Majesty misunderstood, the thousand-year-old ginseng is rare, and there is not much stock in the palace, so I dare not make my own claim."

Qin Zizhen raised the corners of his lips, restrained his hostility in an instant, and smiled slowly: "So that's the case, then I can rest assured that my father will not be reluctant to take ginseng for only a thousand years, otherwise others will think that my father It hurts me to show the court."

Butler Qin was suspicious and couldn't figure out how deep the son's words were. However, he didn't dare to dwell on this issue, for fear that the son would say something surprising again, so he said instead: "The prince asked the son if he still needs manpower. You have a delicate body, you really don't need to work hard, it's really not good to be mixed with a group of slaves."

Qin Zizhen smiled coolly. Butler Qin spoke with a level of proficiency. He not only pointed out the fact that he is in good health and does not need thousand-year-old ginseng, but also told him not to work hard, and even used a group of slaves to belittle him. He clearly did not want him to To learn well, I don't want him to be successful, I don't want to see him make any efforts... It is said that a tiger's poison does not eat its children, and it is definitely a joke to put it here with King Pingxi.

Qin Zizhen's tone was not kind: "Otherwise, what else can I do, the next time you meet an assassin, you go and block the knife for me."

Qin Butler froze, his brows were wrinkled, Shizi didn't play cards according to the rules at all, he was thick-skinned, and he didn't feel the slightest embarrassment of being pointed out by him. For a while, he didn't know how to speak up, so he just spoke out He said: "My lord cares about my son, and I don't want my son to be too tired. If you really want to practice martial arts, you can go to the martial arts field in the palace. The mess in the village is outrageous. Outsiders will lose the face of the palace if they see it. And the young master , although he is a concubine, he can't hang out with country children all day long and lose his identity for nothing, the meaning of the prince is to find him an aunt to raise him and learn the rules."

Qin Zizhen's eyes were gloomy, and he gradually became sharper and more aggressive. He yelled at the door, "Come here, go and arrest Commander Wang, beat him fifty times, and send him back to Pingxi Palace!"

"Yes!" The servants outside immediately accepted the order, all of them were full of energy, and only obeyed the order of the eldest son.

"My son..." Butler Qin was stunned, and the son's reaction was a bit wrong.

Qin Zizhen's expression was stern: "That damned bastard dared to neglect his duties."

Otherwise, how could things about Zhuangzi spread to the outside world, and how could it lose the face of the prince's mansion? Butler Qin understood what the son meant, but his heart sank to the bottom of the valley, and he smiled stiffly: "Commander Wang's crime is not so far, The servant is just talking."

Qin Zizhen calmed down, raised his eyebrows, and stared at him with a half-smile, but there was no trace of anger on his face.

Qingshuang chuckled, and retorted sharply: "Butler Qin's words are wrong. You are the chief steward of the Wangfu, representing the face of Pingxi Wangfu. How can you speak and behave casually? Commander Wang didn't guard Zhuangzi well. His [-] boards are already a favor, so you don't need to ask for more."

Qin Butler was furious, as expected, what kind of master raised what kind of servant, and a mere servant girl dared to ridicule him.

"Butler Qin, please go back if you have nothing to do. This son still has things to do. By the way, remember to take that dog with you."

"Master, please slow down." Butler Qin said hastily, "I don't know if Master can deny this thing." After Qin Butler finished speaking, he carefully took out a dazzling diamond necklace from his bosom, which had been changed into a forehead ornament at this time. Gorgeous and compelling, extremely rich.

Qin Zizhen's eyes flickered with amusement, and he knew that the topic was coming, so he said in a slightly frivolous tone: "I have seen it, so what? Is there anything you want in the Pingxi Palace, father will not worry about my private house, right?"

Butler Qin choked for a moment, his words stuck in his throat, he swallowed back what he had planned, and replaced it with: "Dare to ask the prince where this thing came from?"

"It's brought by overseas merchants, you've always looked down on it, why? Are you regretting it?" Qin Zizhen's words are well-founded. His friend Wang Fu has always looked sideways at people, and now even if he checks, he can't find anything. Omissions.

"Which overseas businessman?" Qin Butler spoke urgently, as if he saw a way to make money in his eyes.

Qin Zizhen looked contemptuously: "I don't know, who has the time to pay attention to such trivial matters."

Butler Qin was dubious. According to the temperament of the son in the past, he would only care about pleasure and would not think about other details at all. However, according to what he saw today, the son of the world has indeed changed as the rumors said. Whether this sentence is true or not remains to be considered. It's not that the son's attitude is still arrogant and domineering, few people can learn it, he really thinks that the son has been replaced.

"My lord, please think carefully."

Qin Zizhen sneered and looked at him with disdain.

Butler Qin immediately regained his composure. He knew that there would be no further questions, and he urged: "Please keep the secret strictly, and don't let the news out."

Qin Zizhen's eyes darkened: "I see."

Butler Qin said goodbye and left, never mentioning that he lost the face of the palace by disobeying the rules, nor did he mention the young master, nor did he intercede for Commander Wang, as if the previous unhappiness had never happened.

Qingshuang has been sending Steward Qin to the gate of Zhuangzi, and before leaving, she still remembers to ask: "Don't forget the thousand-year-old ginseng, the son is waiting for you."

Qin Butler's eyes were bright, like the cold light on the blade, revealing a kind of coldness.

Qingshuang was not afraid of him, she gave Butler Qin a blank look, and said with a smile: "My son has a very good memory, alas! If he gets angry, no one can stop him."

Butler Qin snorted coldly, turned his head and left. Commander Wang had already been carried onto the carriage. His buttocks were dripping with blood and his skin was ripped open.

"Steward Qin." Commander Wang endured the pain and greeted him weakly.

Butler Qin smiled wryly. With his experience, he couldn't see the malice in Commander Wang's eyes. The son has a good plan.The thing happened because of himself, if you want to blame, if you want to hate, Commander Wang will only remember and hate himself. It is a small thing to beat the board, but it is a big shame. Commander Wang is on the edge and is not the confidant of a certain master. Today, he was punished for that reason , with the name of dereliction of duty and disloyal master on his head, if there is no other opportunity, it will be even more difficult for Commander Wang to think about it again.

But in any case, these are all his own doings. Qin Zizhen originally wanted to keep him for a while, but it was only because Butler Qin came at the right time.

When Butler Qin left, it was the same as when he came, without causing any disturbance in Zhuangzi.

Qin Zizhen was expressionless, and sat quietly in the flower hall thinking. He is a worthless son, and if a valuable jewel suddenly appeared in his hand, the palace would naturally pay attention to it, but... Butler Qin may not value the jewel itself, but the jewel itself. The benefits brought by this business route!

Pingxi Palace is already very rich, what else needs more money?

Qin Zizhen was even more certain of one thing. His father was going to rebel, and he was already collecting money everywhere, and his preparations should not be sufficient. Otherwise, he would not have found his worthless son, and he would not have cared about the court's attitude.

This is a good thing, at least it proves that King Pingxi will not raise troops in a short time.

Qin Zizhen secretly thought about how much time he had to prepare. He didn't want to be cannon fodder in other people's struggles. Although he could just walk away, the world is so big, could it be the king's land? Although he doesn't like fighting for power, he doesn't like it even more Wronging himself, keeping his name incognito, living alone, always worrying about his identity being exposed, such a life of aggrieved has never been his style.
