Dayin Golden Gate

Since Xie Qing was taking riding and archery lessons for the first time, he only needed to master the essentials of getting on and off a horse.

After he dismounted, he stood aside and watched Chu Yu and Chu Cong shoot arrows.

Chu Cong moved quickly, but his accuracy was not as expected.He cheers when he hits a shot, and doesn't feel depressed when he misses a shot.

Chu Yu bent his bow and set his arrow, his starry eyes focused on the target.Time passed bit by bit, but his hands did not tremble at all.Suddenly, his eyes froze, and the arrow shot out of his hand, hitting the bull's-eye.He put down the horn bow, without a trace of joy on his face, as if he had just done a trivial thing.

Chu Cong turned to Xie Qing and said, "I asked Sixth Brother what his secret to archery was, and he told me not to shoot the arrow if he was not sure of hitting the bull's-eye. Although I knew Sixth Brother's secret, It can't be done."

"Your Highness the Sixth Highness is so persevering at such a young age, it's really commendable." Xie Qing said in a low voice.

Chu Cong scratched Xie Qing's nose and said with a smile, "You are so old-fashioned, my sixth brother is two years older than you."

Xie Qing covered his nose and looked at Chu Cong in a daze.He didn't expect to have his nose scratched by a child.

Chu Cong looked at Xie Qing and thought he was indescribably cute.His heart moved, and he asked, "Do you have any sisters in your family?"

"I have an older sister, but she is my half-brother." Xie Qing thought that Chu Cong wanted to marry his family, but felt that he was worrying too much, because Chu Cong is still young, how could he think about marriage Woolen cloth.

Chu Cong became interested when he heard that Xie Qing had a sister, "Does she look like you?"

"The appearance is three points like me, but the temperament is not like me at all." Xie Qing told the truth.

"Even if you don't look like you, it's good to have your temper." Chu Cong had a disappointed look on his face.

Xie Qing said strangely: "My daughter's temper is like mine, what's so good about it?"

"I just like your temperament." After Chu Cong finished speaking, he hugged Xie Qing, lifted him up, and turned him around.Although he is the same age as Xie Qing, he is much taller than Xie Qing, like a calf.

Under the watchful eyes of everyone, Xie Qing felt ashamed.His face was reddish, and he patted Chu Cong's arm, "Put me down!"

Chu Yu reprimanded: "Nonsense!"

Chu Cong put Xie Qing down, still smiling heartlessly.

Xie Qing lowered his head, not looking at Chu Cong and Chu Yu.

After class, Xie Qing left without saying hello to Chu Cong.

Chu Cong quickly chased after Xie Qing, talking non-stop behind Xie Qing, but Xie Qing didn't reply him a word.

"I was wrong, don't be angry with me, okay?" Chu Cong actually didn't know where he was wrong, but it was always right to admit his mistakes.He often relies on this method to coax his mother and concubine, trying everything.

Xie Qing didn't know what Chu Cong was thinking, and thought he really knew his mistake, "Your Highness, some jokes can be joked, and some jokes can't be joked. There are also some jokes that can be joked with one person, but not with another person. gone."

Chu Cong nodded like a chicken pecking at rice, "Yeah."

"Your Highness Seventh, see you tomorrow." Xie Qing smiled like a spring breeze.

Chu Cong also smiled, "Ah Qing, see you tomorrow."

After Xie Qing said goodbye to Chu Cong, he walked for a while under the guidance of a eunuch, and suddenly heard a conversation——

"Whose child is that?"

"Reporting to Empress Empress, that is Xie Qing from Chen Liuxie's family."

He looked back and saw many people standing not far behind him. At the front was a beautifully dressed young woman—she had hairpins in a high bun, crescent eyebrows and makeup, a wide-sleeved gown, and a veil, like a goddess of Wushan.This person is obviously Emperor Wen's wife, the lord of the middle palace, Empress Zhao.

Xie Qing saluted and said: "See empress empress."

Empress Zhao beckoned, "Son, you can have a conversation with me."

Xie Qing respectfully said: "Yes, empress." Although the young woman in front of him was as beautiful as a peach or plum, he deeply remembered that she was the one who poisoned Xie Qing to death with a cup of poisonous wine in the book.

Surrounded by court ladies and eunuchs, Queen Zhao sat down in a pavilion, "You can sit too."

Xie Qing sat down without looking sideways.

The maids served tea and pastries, and then all exited the pavilion.

Queen Zhao said kindly: "Do you eat cakes?"

"Thank you, empress." Xie Qing picked up a piece of emerald jade bean cake, and ate it in small bites.Facing the queen, he couldn't taste the taste, and felt that the pastry he swallowed was like a handful of rice bran.

Empress Zhao asked casually, "Have you met Yan'er?"

Xie Qing was stunned for a moment, and then realized that the "Yan'er" in Queen Zhao's mouth referred to the crown prince Chu Yan, "Return to the empress, I have met your highness the crown prince."

Empress Zhao said with a half-smile, "What do you think of Yan'er?"

Xie Qing pondered over his words for a while before saying: "His Royal Highness, Guizhang Teda, is truly a blessing to the community."

Empress Zhao nodded, "Your Majesty and all the ministers also think that Yan'er is outstanding in virtue and talent, and is an example for the princes." She paused, "What do you think of Pei Hongjian?"

Of course Xie Qing couldn't say that Pei Hongjian was an embroidered pillow, "Mr. Pei's Yu Yunhui Mountain is indeed a beauty in the world."

Empress Zhao neither agreed nor opposed, and looked at Xie Qing with a pair of phoenix eyes without emotion.She pondered for a long time and said, "You might as well get closer to Yan'er while you are in the palace."

Xie Qing didn't dare to get close to that Highness the Crown Prince, he wished he could never see Chu Yan for the rest of his life, "Your Majesty hates forming cliques for personal gain the most, and I'm afraid to hurt His Highness's virtue by getting close to His Highness the Crown Prince."

"You're just a child. Isn't it normal for children to play together?" Queen Zhao took out a handkerchief and wiped Xie Qing's forehead, "You're sweating."

Xie Qing said tremblingly: "What the empress said is very true."

Queen Zhao smiled in satisfaction, "It's getting late, I won't keep you."

"I'm resigning." Xie Qing bowed before leaving.

He went out of the palace, touched the back of his neck, and his hands were sweating.

When he returned to the mansion, Wan Jing and Liu Jing were greeted by the two servant girls.

Liujing held a copper basin, and the water in the basin was steaming.Wan Jing took out a kudzu towel from the basin and wrung it dry, then handed it to Xie Qing.

Xie Qing wiped his hands and face, and heaved a sigh of relief.

Wan Jing took the kudzu scarf from Xie Qing's hand and put it back into the basin.

Liu Jing asked enthusiastically, "Did the young master encounter anything interesting today?"

Xie Qing thought for a while and said, "The Seventh Prince is quite interesting."

"What's interesting about His Royal Highness the Seventh Prince?" Liu Jing asked.

"He lifted me up and turned me around." Xie Qing said with a straight face.

Both Liujing and Wanjing laughed, and Xie Qing himself laughed too, and the Xie Mansion was filled with cheerful laughter for a moment.

Wanjing suddenly remembered something and said, "Master, a little beggar came to you today with a letter. I asked him to give the letter to me, but he said he must give the letter to you. He waited for you After a while, I left without waiting."

"Did he say who gave me the letter?" Xie Qing asked strangely.

"I asked him, but he said he didn't know. I also asked what his name was, and he said he didn't have a name." When Wan Jing said this, there was pity in his eyes.

Xie Qing thought for a while and said: "If that little beggar comes again, you can keep him. Being a servant in the mansion is always better than wandering on the streets."

"The young master is really a bodhisattva." Liu Jing said disapprovingly, "I heard that those little beggars generally have unclean hands and feet. Instead of staying in the mansion, it's better to give them a few steamed buns and a few pennies."

Xie Qing knocked on Liu Jing's forehead, "He hasn't made a mistake yet, how do you know that he will definitely do something wrong?"

Liu Jing stuck out her tongue, "I deduce it based on common sense."

Xie Qing shook his head, "Have you ever thought that I was going to keep him, but I didn't because of you. If he starved to death and froze to death outside, you would have killed him."

"Then...just keep him." Liu Jing turned pale.

Xie Qing said casually but could not be opposed: "That's it."

A book is long, no book is short.

The next day, accompanied by Pei Hongjian, Chu Yan came to the study again.

Xie Qing, who had been beaten by Queen Zhao, did not dare to neglect Chu Yan this time. Before Chu Yan could speak, he took the lead in saluting, "See Your Highness the Crown Prince."

Chu Cong said bluntly, "Why are you here again?"

Chu Yu watched blankly, but displeasure was revealed in his dark eyes.

Chu Yan said unhurriedly: "I invite Xie Qing to meet in the East Palace."

"The crown prince has an order, so he dare not disobey." Although Xie Qing had a thousand reluctances in his heart, he still agreed.

Chu Cong grabbed Xie Qing's sleeve, "Don't follow him."

Xie Qing pushed Chu Cong's hand away, and said with a wry smile, "I'll be back soon."

Chu Cong changed his mind and said, "Then I will go with you."

Pei Hongjian glanced at the prince and said, "His Royal Highness only invited Xie Qing."

Chu Yu suddenly said, "My sixth brother and I also want to get closer to His Highness the Crown Prince. Your Majesty will be very pleased to know that we are brothers and sisters."

Pei Hongjian wanted to speak, but was stopped by Chu Yan.

Chu Yan scanned Chu Cong and Chu Yu, "If you want to come, come."

Everyone went to the East Palace, without talking all the way.

In the East Palace, a middle-aged man looked at the crowd and said with a smile: "It seems that I have come here by accident." He has a fair face, a medium build, and is amiable.
