The king was wrong

It turns out that it happened like this. Ten years ago, Princess Zhaoyan's concubine, Tang Shuyuan, had not been promoted to Jieyu, and Princess Zhaoyan was therefore fostered beside Wei Yanxi's mother and concubine. Wei Yanxi was ten years old that year, and Zhaoyan The princess is five years old.

Princess Zhaoyan is different from other princesses and princesses. She only knows how to learn some female red embroidery every day in the deep palace. On the contrary, she has an innocent personality, likes to be active but not quiet, and hangs around in the imperial garden all day long. Fluttering butterflies and flying kites is a joy.

Fortunately, Wei Yanxi's concubine mother is also open-minded, and doesn't advocate trapping people too much, so even if the princess comes back covered in mud every day, she still takes pains to help her bathe, mend clothes, and sometimes even make people older than her The fifth prince Wei Yanxi, who was six years older, took her out to play, so the princess liked this fifth brother very much since she was a child.

And Zhu Yaozi's father hadn't been the chief assistant at that time, he was sitting in the seat of Minister of Rites, and from time to time he had to go into the palace to help with trivial matters in the harem, which concubine's birthday is today, the emperor asked the Ministry of Rites to help There is a palace banquet, and tomorrow is a festive season, and all the officials are going to the palace to congratulate, so they are busy all the time, so the young Zhu Yaozi often goes to the palace with him. Princess Zhaoyan, who ran outside, was ripe.

Zhu Yaozi herself is a talkative person, since she was a child, and Princess Zhaoyan has never been afraid of strangers. Even though they are seven years apart, they get along pretty well. Zhu Yaozi often walks in front, and the little princess farts behind. Dianpidian chased after him, giggling while chasing him, he was very happy.

Because the two are getting acquainted, Zhaoyan will tell Zhu Yaozi all the happiness or troubles. For example, today the third brother, that is, Wei Chengtian, told the concubine about something that made the concubine frown. The fifth brother brought her some delicious candy tomorrow, as if he treated Zhu Yaozi as a mood trash can.And Zhu Yaozi happened to be happy to hear her talk about these trivial matters in the inner palace, so the two of them were Zhou Yu beating Huang Gai, one was willing to fight, the other was willing to suffer.

But one day, when Princess Zhaoyan came to play with Zhu Yaozi, she had a sad face.Zhu Yaozi was curious, and asked her if someone made her unhappy, but Princess Zhaoyan shook her head, and Zhu Yaozi burst into tears in the blink of an eye.

Zhu Yaozi paid off her crying, and always treated this little girl like her own sister. Needless to say, someone must have bullied her, so Young Master Zhu spat, rolled up his sleeves, and planned to vent his anger on Zhaoyan's behalf go.

Unexpectedly, Princess Zhaoyan stopped him, saying that no one bullied her, and that she was unhappy because Brother Wu's birthday was approaching, and he had always been very kind to her and took good care of her, so she wanted to give some special gifts.But fifth elder brother, as a prince, has everything needed for food and clothing, she really didn't know what to give, so she burst into tears.

When Zhu Yaozi heard that it was a big deal, it was just a birthday present, so he just went to get it.Thus, First Young Master Zhu patted his chest and promised the princess that he would choose the best birthday gift for her tomorrow!

Seeing that the matter of the gift was settled, the princess naturally burst into laughter, but Zhu Yaozi was full of confidence when she was in the palace, and she cried when she left the palace.He was so busy trying to make the princess happy just now that he didn't even think about an important question——

His Royal Highness Fifth Prince, what does the old man like...

Zhu Yaozi was at a loss, and the first think tank that came to mind was naturally Qi Yaoqing.

I don't know what kind of rhetoric Zhu Yaozi used. After talking nonsense with Qi Yaoqing, he actually succeeded in arousing Qi Yaoqing's interest, and agreed to make a bet with him, betting that the gift chosen by the princess would be chosen by the princess in the end. The selection was passed on to the fifth prince, and this time the bet was a big one, the winner could ask the loser to do one thing.

In this way, the two spent a whole day running around, and finally met in the evening with the things they had chosen.

What Zhu Yaozi chose was a box of colorful glazed beads, seven kinds of colored glazed beads of different textures and lustres, shining brightly in the sunlight, really beautiful.His reason is that the princess is a little girl, and she must like these fancy things, and the glass beads must be more attractive to her.

And Qi Yaoqing chose a small piece of suet ancient jade, shaped like a rock, with no complicated carvings on it, only a small "flat" character is engraved on the lower corner of the front, and the same place on the back is a The word "An" means peace and security.

This jade pendant is hung with a beige silk sash, and the long tassels are hanging from the pendant. It looks like an ornament hanging on the saber.The reason why he chose this one was because Qi Yaoqing thought that he heard that the fifth prince is a martial idiot, and he loves to dance swords and swords the most. Wouldn't it be wonderful to have such an ancient jade hanging on the sword?

The two didn't comment much on the items chosen by the other party, but the next day, when Zhu Yaozi brought the two items to Zhaoyan as promised, Zhaoyan really fell in love with the glass beads Zhu Yaozi selected at a glance, and she was very happy He planned to give the colorful glazed beads to the fifth prince, but Qi Yaoqing had no interest in the jade pendant.

But thinking that these were gifts that Zhu Yaozi's elder brother had painstakingly brought for her from outside the palace, Zhaoyan still happily accepted both things.

The matter of giving the gift came to a successful conclusion, and Zhu Yaozi won without any surprises, which is why he got so playful later that he insisted on Qi Yaoqing wearing women's clothes to go to Yanqiu Mountain.

The matter was explained clearly, Zhu Yaozi drank a cup of tea vigorously, then breathed a long sigh of relief, seeing Wei Yanxi frowned with a strange expression on the opposite side, and kindly explained: "Oh, I guess Xiaoqing thinks that you are the fifth prince , I’m afraid you will laugh at him if you find out, haha, that’s why you don’t want to say it.”

Hearing this, Wei Yanxi gave Zhu Yaozi a complicated look, then got up without saying a word, and was about to go out.

"Hey, why are you running in such a hurry." Zhu Yaozi yelled funny from behind, "Treat Xiaoqing well after you go back, look at him, all the embarrassing things in this life are related to you, tsk tsk, You are clearly his disaster, haha."

After the words fell, Wei Yanxi's figure not far away paused for a moment, but he didn't look back, and quickly walked out of the courtyard gate.

Zhu Yaozi looked at Kong Luoluo and clicked his tongue, this person is so good at lightness kung fu, and he also likes to wear black clothes, he looks like a ghost when he drifts, tsk tsk, he is really not easy to mess with.

Let's look at Wei Yanxi, who left Shoufu Mansion with Qinggong and returned to his Yongwang Mansion within half a stick of incense.In front of the main house, Liang Wei was waiting anxiously.

"Oh, my lord, you are back!"

Seeing Wei Yanxi's ghostly figure suddenly appear in front of his eyes, Liang Wei jumped back in shock, and then hurried forward, his expression was like seeing his long-lost mother.

"What's the matter?" Wei Yanxi took a step back calmly, looked past Liang Weiwang to the still closed door, frowned slightly, and asked, "The princess hasn't come out all this time?"

"No!" Liang Wei shook his head, "But my lord, the one at the door is finally willing to come out!"

After he said this, Wei Yanxi suddenly remembered that there was still a sedan chair sent by Sheng Guogong's mansion parked in front of the palace.

"Oh? Who?"

"It's the concubine's younger sister, named Qi Simin."

"Qi Simin?" Hearing this name, Wei Yanxi narrowed his eyes slightly, and felt that it sounded familiar, as if he had heard it before when he returned to the door.

It's just that if it's really Qi Yaoqing's concubine sister, who is supposed to be a lady of some status, how could she be sent to the door of Prince Yong's mansion inexplicably?What the hell is that old guy Qi Xiaosu planning?

"What can she say?"

"Oh, I said it." Liang Wei nodded seriously, "It's just that the girl is a little strange. She started wiping her tears as soon as she got off the sedan chair, and while she was wiping, she said bad things about the princess."

"The concubine's bad words?" Wei Yanxi raised her eyebrows, "What do you mean?"

"Oh, she said that she and the prince have long admired each other and exchanged tokens. You even promised her to dismiss all the concubines in the palace and only accept her as a concubine in this life. But who knows that the princess will obstruct you when you are about to pass the door, and you just broke up. .”

"She also said that she knew it was not easy for the prince, and she didn't want to force you, but she was really worried about it, so she came to the door without telling her parents, and wanted to ask the prince, what kind of lake was that... Oh, the oath under the moon by Xuanye Lake Still counting. If you don’t count, she will not bother you anymore, and she will accompany Qingdeng Ancient Buddha for the rest of her life. I only hope that I can serve the prince by my side in the next life.”

Liang Wei is a martial artist, he speaks without thinking, and now he is so busy relaying Qi Simin's words that he doesn't even notice that his prince's face is getting darker and darker.

"Oh, my lord, why are you so merciful everywhere? You even provoked the princess's younger sister. No wonder the princess refuses to come out to see you inside. Sigh..."

Wei Yanxi's face turned completely dark when he said this, it's not a bad thing at all, is it!Resisting the urge to beat Liang Wei up, Wei Yanxi asked in a cold voice: "Then what did you do, let her in?"

"No, no, my subordinates dare not!" Liang Wei hastily waved his hands, "Before you left, you told me not to let anyone go, so my subordinates didn't dare to let them open the door at all. At this moment, the girl should still be crying at the door. Uh... ...But what are you going to do, my lord, are you going to let her in?"

"Don't let go." Wei Yanxi flicked her sleeves, bypassed Liang Wei and walked straight towards the closed door, without looking back, said: "Just let her make trouble at the door, and go back naturally when you have enough trouble."

Although Liang Wei was a little suspicious, he obediently accepted the order and retreated.Wei Yanxi walked to the door alone, took a deep breath to adjust her mentality, then faded away the coldness on her face, put on a gentle smile, knocked on the door lightly and said: "Yaoqing, open the door, open the door, okay?"

Nothing happened inside.

"Yaoqing, I was wrong, I shouldn't doubt you casually, you...you forgive me this time, please? You open the door for me first, and I'll show you something. If you get angry after reading it, beat me and scold me Everything is fine, huh?"

Still nothing happened.

"Yaoqing, Yaoqing, are you in there? Yaoqing is not angry anymore, open the door for me quickly, let's go in and talk if we have anything to say."

There was no movement.

Now Wei Yanxi was in a hurry, she said to herself for a long time that Yaoqing didn't respond at all, don't...don't something happen!

Wei Yanxi was startled, the fact that he was poisoned many times last time really frightened him. His Royal Highness Yong, who was fearless in the past, is now most afraid of someone who will harm his concubine.
