Juntianyi Red Courtyard

Now it is the twelfth lunar month, the year is approaching, all civil and military officials are on vacation early to wake up, as for officials from other places, the Emperor Enhaodang has granted half a month's leave, and Gongsun Qian is of course no exception. After half a year away from home, he can finally go home After taking a look, I packed my bags early and prepared to go back to Huaixi.

After just a few days, Qiu Zhen couldn't sit still, and ran into the palace just after dawn on the second day of the new year, waiting for Qi Kun to get up.

"What are you doing this early in the morning?" After washing, Qi Kun was a little curious when he saw Qiu Zhen walking up and down restlessly.

"Emperor Brother, I ask you for an imperial decree to marry me"

"Marriage? To whom?"

"give it to me"

Qikun looked at Qiu Zhen and smiled, this kid finally got the hang of it, "Which boy do you like?"

"Gongsun Qian" ahead of time, the corners of Gongsun Qian's lips couldn't stop rising.

"Gongsun Aiqing?" Qi Kun nodded, "You do have vision."

"Brother Huang, hurry up and draw up the imperial decree, so that I can go and hire you."

Qi Kun seemed to think of something, and his face changed involuntarily. Everything he did before co-authoring was for Gongsun Qian, and he foolishly thought that his brother had become more caring.

"Royal Brother"

"I know." Qi Kun said angrily, "Eldest brother is the father, I will accompany you to Huaixi to apply for a job, so let's save face."

Qiu Zhen was even more delighted when he heard that, "Thank you, brother, the dowry has been prepared! I'm just waiting for the imperial decree."

"I will write a letter to the prime minister to explain the affairs of the court, and I will arrive soon."

"Resignation from the younger brother"

It is difficult to walk on the snowy ground in winter, and the long queue of trucks moves even more slowly. I wanted to run away first but was worried about Qikun's safety, so I ordered the servant who declared the decree to go first.

"Brother Huang, Gongsun still doesn't know that his younger brother is the King of Chang'an. If he refuses to accept the imperial decree, you can't punish him for deceiving the king." Qiu Zhen got into another carriage.

Qikun almost choked on the water, "You guys have known each other for so long, yet you didn't tell him."

Qiu Zhen shrugged, "Isn't this a surprise?"

"I see this as a shock"

The servant who announced the decree entered Gongsun's mansion and learned that Gongsun Qian was not there, so he waited for Gongsun Qian to go back to receive the decree.

The old man of Gongsun Mansion hurriedly sent someone to look for him, and found that he was the emperor's personal servant.

"Elder-in-law worked hard"

"Master Gongsun, hurry up and accept the order." The servant smiled and picked it up.

The people of Gongsun Mansion knelt down on the ground.

"Following the fate of heaven, the emperor Zhao said: Vice Minister Gongsun Qian has both talents and learning. He is a capable minister who governs the country. He is very heart-warming. I specially bestow marriage with the king of Chang'an as his righteous monarch. He will become a beautiful woman. Choose a date to get married. I admire this."

The whole family of Gongsun's family was overjoyed, but Gongsun Qian's face was heavy and he didn't know what to think about.

The servant smiled and put away the imperial decree and handed it to Gongsun Qian, "Master Gongsun, accept the decree and thank you!"

Gongsun Qian hesitated and cupped his hands again and again, "I can't accept this imperial decree."

"Master Gongsun, this is the crime of deceiving the emperor!"

"Eunuch, if I accept the imperial decree, it will be a serious crime of deceiving the emperor"

"This……"

"Qian'er, you are sending the Gongsun family to death." Before the old man Gongsun could react from the surprise, he was frightened to death by Gongsun Qian's refusal to accept the imperial edict.

"Master Gongsun, you, this, this old slave is not easy to do business with." The servant at the side was very anxious, thinking of Qiu Zhen, he didn't dare to scold him, what kind of job is this!

"Grandfather, grandson does everything alone, so he won't hurt the Gongsun family." After finishing speaking, he ignored everyone and went back to his room.

The imperial decree arrived one day early, and when the large troops arrived in Huaixi, everyone was amazed. The boxes on dozens of carriages were all tied with red sticks, escorted by hundreds of guards. They could be seen from the palace just by looking at their clothes, but they didn’t know which one. My son is so lucky.

When they arrived at Gongsun Mansion, everyone had already greeted them at the door, but Gongsun Qian was the only one missing.

"See Your Majesty, See King Chang'an"

"Let's all be flat"

"Thank you, Your Majesty, and King Chang'an"

Qikun and Qiu Zhen were welcomed into the room, but felt that the atmosphere was not right. Qiu Zhen's words broke the silence.

"Where's my deputy?"

Everyone knelt on the ground one after another, and the two were a little confused, "What are you doing?"

"My lord, Deputy Prime Minister Gongsun, he is dead"

"Ai ai ai ai ai ai ai ai ai ai ai ai ai ai ai ai ai ai ai ai ai ai ai ai ai ai ai ai ai ai ai ai ai ai ai ai ai ai ai ai ai ai ai ai ai ai ai ai ai ai ai ai ai ai ai ai ai ai ai ai ai ai ai ai ai ai ai ai ai ai ai ai ai ai ai ai ai ai ai ai ai ai ai ai ai ai ai ai ai ai hei

"Prince" Eunuch Zhao handed the letter in his hand to Qiu Zhen, and the people next to him knelt on the ground and lowered their heads, just kept shouting "The emperor forgives the sin, the prince forgives the sin"

Prince of Chang'an

The sinful minister, Gongsun Qian, paid homage to the deputy prime minister, and was grateful for the emperor's great kindness. He was favored by the prince. Apologize to death, Wang Pingjun is angry, please don't implicate other people, the sinful minister will pay back the favor of the king in the next life for cattle and horses.

Gongsun Qian

After reading the letter in his hand, Qiu Zhen felt that his eyes were darkened, so he supported the table next to him so as not to fall down.

Qikun beside "A Zhen" hurried to help him.

"Where is he now?"

Qiu Zhen followed in a daze to Gongsun Qian's room, and saw the man lying quietly on the bed, and slowly walked forward to poke his cheek.

"My lord deputy prime minister, I'm here to propose a marriage, don't sleep, wake up quickly"

"Ah Zhen, don't be like this." Qi Kun stepped forward and patted the man's shoulder, but didn't know what to say.

"Why are your hands so cold!" He picked up the man's hand and blew a few breaths on it and rubbed it, but he couldn't get it to warm up. You see, without me, you wouldn't even be warm in bed." Qiu Zhen hugged him tightly.

"Hurry up and add more quilts"

"My vice-president, look at my dowry, don't you take a look?"

"Ah Zhen, I am also very sad that Gongsun Aiqing passed away, so please express your condolences."

Qiu Zhen gently kissed the man's cold lips, and the tears couldn't stop falling.

"Why did things happen like this? He was fine when he came back, we agreed to wait for me to marry him"

"Ah Zhen, don't do this"

"Your Majesty, the deceased has passed away, and your condolences"

Qiu Zhen still hugged tightly and refused to let go, "Gongsun, let's stop playing, you get up quickly, I moved almost the entire palace here, you get up and have a look!"

"Qiu Zhen" Qi Kun let out a big snort, "He doesn't want you to be like this, let the deceased rest in peace! Enter the imperial mausoleum with the royal gift"

"Brother Huang, this little fool is very afraid of the cold. Without me, he would catch a cold easily. Let me accompany him into the coffin!"

"Qiu Zhen, what are you talking about?"

"Brother Huang, I have never begged you for anything since I was a child, please let my minister be self-willed once."

Qiu Zhen ignored Qikun who was furious, but just hugged him tightly and buried him in the hair, his eyes blank.

"Do you dare? If you dare to die, I, I will kill everyone in the Gongsun family and bury you with me."

Hearing Qikun's words, the people of Gongsun's mansion knelt on the ground, "The emperor forgives the sin, the emperor forgives the sin"

Qiu Zhen ignored him, pulled out Yun Zang from his waist and swung it towards his neck, Qi Kun hurriedly stepped forward to stop him in shock, but the skin on his neck was still scratched.

He snatched Yun Zang and threw it on the ground, "Quickly pass on the doctor, Qiu Zhen, have you made enough trouble?"

"Cough, cough, Qiu Zhen..." the person in his arms suddenly coughed twice, calling back the absent-minded Qiu Zhen

"Gongsun? Gongsun!" Qiu Zhen yelled twice, delighted to see the movement of the person in his arms.

The "Emperor" had no choice but to hug Gongsunqian tightly and couldn't move, unable to salute.

Qikun, who had reacted, swallowed the heart that ran to his throat, "Ai Qing, you don't have to be polite, as long as you're fine."

"Gongsun, you're alright, you just... have no breath at all"

"The Turtle Breathing Technique you taught"

Qiu Zhen looked at the grievance on his face full of accusations, "Qianqian, you actually lied to me with such a thing"

"Who told you to lie to me first"

"You two, one is better at playing than the other, I was almost scared to death by you"

"The subject is guilty"

"Brother Huang, don't scare my family's seal"

Qi Kun gave a blank look and coughed twice to signal everyone to back down.

Qiu Zhen shook his head and laughed. Two lines of hot tears fell on the man's face, and then his chin rested on the man's forehead, "My lord vice minister, this king is wrong, I shouldn't lie to you, look, just now this king was almost You died for love, did you relieve your anger?"

Gongsun Qian curled his lips and smiled, "It's solved."

"Do you know that you were scared to death just now?"

"Aren't you fine?"

"Qingqian~"

Gongsun Qian smiled and buried him in the man's arms and hugged the man's neck, "how can I be willing?" Suddenly felt the heat and humidity in the man's neck, and saw that it was blood, so he quickly crawled out of the man's arms.

"How do you do it? Aren't you the most afraid of pain?"

"I was most afraid of pain before, but now I am most afraid of not having you"

Gongsun Qian couldn't help blushing, "It doesn't hurt anymore."

"It hurts, it hurts, look, with so much blood, there must be a scar." He deliberately pretended to show his teeth, and pulled down the collar.

Looking at the small wound on the man's neck, he gave him a blank look, and hurriedly found medicine to rub it on.

The emperor and the prince personally appointed him, which can be regarded as an unprecedented honor for the Gongsun family, and all the princes and ministers were seated at the dinner.

"Today I'm just here as an elder brother, please don't be cautious"

Originally seated in the order of seniority, seniority, and junior, Qiu Zhen forced him to sit in front of Gongsun Qian.

With Qi Kun and Qiu Zhen joining at the dinner, everyone was even more cautious, for fear that someone would accidentally offend and cause death.

Qiu Zhen stared at the people next to him with a smile, and the chopsticks in his hand kept adding food to people, making the people look embarrassed and "stop"

"Look at you, you've lost weight like this in just half a month, hurry up and make up for it"

Gongsun Qian looked at the black lines all over the hills in front of him, and pushed a bowl of vegetables in front of people, "I can't eat so much"

Gongsun Qian dragged his head and looked at the side and said with a smile, "I'm not hungry, I'm full just by watching you."

Hearing such blunt words in front of so many people, Gongsun Qian lowered his head little by little, and Qiu Zhen hurriedly held his chin.

"Wait until I hit my head"

Gongsun Qian said in a muffled voice, "You actually wanted to tease me"

"Then you tease me"

"will not"

"I'll teach you, like this." Qiu Zhen picked up the man's hand and raised his chin, "then say something, give me a smile."

Qiu Zhen's move startled the people present and pretended not to see it.

"Stinky boy, where are there so many swear words, and let people not eat?"

Qiu Zhen shrugged fearlessly, "It's just that I haven't seen my deputy for a long time. I also think about eating, writing, and reading. I can't sleep at night because I think about it, eh~" Before anyone finished speaking, Gongsun Qian said A bun was stuffed into the person's mouth.

Qiu Zhen gnawed on the steamed stuffed bun with a smile, "It's because my family loves me dearly, and I like stuffed stuffed stuffed buns."

"You, can you have a good meal?" Gongsun Qian lowered his head and picked up the rice in the bowl.

Qi Kun glanced at his worthless brother and felt full instantly.

"Gongsun Aiqing, this brat will be handed over to you in the future, so don't show mercy." Qi Kun almost gritted his teeth and finished this sentence, Gongsun Qian just replied "Yes"

On the contrary, Qiu Zhen smiled complacently, "He just can't bear it."

"To shut up"

"Okay" Qiu Zhen saw that the person's face was about to drip blood, so he let it go and quietly ate aside.

At night, when people were not paying attention, they sneaked into the house and hugged them all night, and returned to their own room at dawn the next day. After all, they were not married, and reputation was still important.

The people of Gongsun's family looked at the dowry gift sent by Qiu Zhen with joy, and the royal family's move was lavish.

Gongsun Qian looked at several sets of pens, inks, papers and inkstones and couldn't help but raise the corners of his lips. He would always keep the best things for himself.

"What are you thinking?" Before he could react, he was hugged from behind again.

"Ahem!" Qi Kun couldn't stand it anymore and coughed twice.

"Brother Huang, you're not catching a cold! Hurry up and send the doctor to take a look."

"You brat, you're not married yet! Be careful"

Qiu Zhen smiled, "Anyway, it's mine."

Gongsun Qian couldn't help but feel a little embarrassed and whispered, "Suddenly don't want to marry"

"I don't want to marry." Qiu Zhen's voice raised a little in disbelief, and then he said, "Then I will turn the dowry into a dowry, and you can marry me."

I don't know how many times this has scared the people of Gongsun's family.

Qikun picked up the box on the side and threw it on Qiu Zhen, "You brat, are you going to piss me off?"

"Brother Huang, you are so ruthless!" Qiu Zhen yelled in pain.

"Where is the injury, does it hurt?"

"It hurts, it hurts." After saying that, he leaned on the person.

Qikun sighed, "Gongsun Aiqing, you are the only one who believes in this kid's nonsense."

Gongsun Qian bowed his head again.
