Qi Zhinian opened the door and entered the courtyard, saw Lin Xiuxiu was still wandering outside the door, then remembered that there was another Lin Xiuxiu, he immediately walked back to the door, and said softly: "Xiuxiu, what's the matter with you?"

Lin Xiuxiu quickly shook her head: "I'm fine, I was planning to go to the shop outside the alley to make soy sauce, and when I saw you and—" She looked worried, "Brother, who is that?"

In order to dispel her thoughts, her mother analyzed it for her a long time ago. She already knew that this little brother Jiang could not be an ordinary person, nor could he marry her.

But if she wanted to put Qi Zhinian in her heart immediately, she couldn't do it, she still couldn't help but pay attention to him.

She was afraid that it was someone from Brother Jiang's family who had known him before, and they were here to make trouble.

Qi Zhinian smiled and said, "It's someone I knew before."

really!

Lin Xiuxiu was even more worried: "Are you okay? Did he bully you?"

Qi Zhinian smiled and shook his head: "Of course not, don't worry."

"really?"

"real."

Seeing that he didn't seem to be lying, Lin Xiuxiu felt relieved and asked, "Will he come again?"

Qi Zhinian affirmed: "No."

"In case he comes again and troubles you, you must tell me and my mother that there are many middle-aged men living in our alley, don't be afraid!"

Qi Zhinian laughed, he was about to be comforted by a little girl, but his heart was warm.

He said slowly: "Don't worry, he will never come again, and he will never trouble us. We just met him by chance today. How can a person like him make things difficult for us."

Seeing what he said so firmly, Lin Xiuxiu thought about it. The only high-ranking official she had ever met was Jing Zhaoyin. It was because a shocking case happened back in the capital. Jing Zhaoyin interrogated himself, and many people went to the yamen Looking around, she also went, and saw Jing Zhaoyin from a distance.

That strange man didn't even wear an official uniform, but he was even more imposing than Mr. Jing Zhaoyin!

Presumably people really won't come to trouble these little people like them, she is completely relieved.

Lin Xiuxiu continued to make soy sauce, Qi Zhinian closed the door, leaned against the door, looked up at the sky blankly, feeling powerless all over.

"Little Lang--" Grandma Fan came out when she heard the sound, smiling all over her face, "Are you back? Are you tired? Grandma has stewed chicken soup for you, come and drink!"

Qi Zhinian raised his smile, said "Yes", and walked inside.

On New Year's Eve that night, they placed a small table full of dishes beside Jiang Qiniang's bed, and had a lively New Year's Eve dinner.

Even though mother can't get up yet, even though they can only live in such a hut, even though they have been rejected by all relatives, they still have a place to live, hot meals to eat, and New Year's Eve together, That's good enough, isn't it?

They will definitely get better and better.

Moreover, he finally met Qi Huai and fulfilled his greatest wish in this life.

Thinking of this, Qi Zhinian couldn't help laughing, his eyes crooked.

After Qi Huai left, he went back to the Princess Eldest Mansion to meet his mother. Wang Shun, the eunuch next to the emperor, was indeed there and was about to leave. When he saw him enter, he bent over to push him up, and immediately saluted, "I pay my respects to the Duke!"

The emperor was adopted by the empress dowager when he succeeded the heir, and it was because of the strong support of the empress dowager and the eldest princess Huayang that he successfully ascended the throne. The nephew is also very indulgent, closer than his own son.

Qi Huai walked sideways in the palace since he was a child, and sometimes the prince had to give him concessions.

Whether he was ignorant when he was young, or ridiculous now, Qi Huai thinks that this "indulgence" is useless, and he didn't want to give these people good looks at all.

He looked at Wang Shun, who looked like a dog in front of him, and smiled arrogantly naturally: "I haven't seen Mr. Wang in a few days, how is this room?" He continued to walk inside.

Wang Shun also continued to rush forward, smiling so blindly, and nodding his head like garlic: "Thanks to the Lord, the villain is doing well! I haven't seen the Lord for three years, and the gentleman is even more charming! The villain is not so handsome! How dare you look at it!"

Qi Huai laughed out loud, and ordered the guards around him: "Prepare a generous gift for Mr. Wang."

"Ouch! You can't do it!"

Qi Huai didn't say much, and asked again: "But uncle sent you here? Well, you know, I've always been impatient with the noise, so I took some detours to avoid it, and told you to wait for a long time."

"The villain just waits! Your Majesty said before sending the villain that you must be impatient, and it's true! Your Majesty knows the Duke best!" Wang Shun smiled.

Qi Huai also laughed: "That's my uncle, my nephew looks like an uncle, what don't you know?"

"Yes Yes Yes!!"

Just go through two doors in a row, and it's almost time to reach the main hall of the eldest princess, and the people who went to the storeroom to pick up gifts have already returned.

Only then did Qi Huai stop, turned around and said: "Seeing that the day is getting late, there will be a banquet in the palace at night, and there will be worship at my house. You should go back to the palace quickly, and don't miss uncle's important business. But you are indispensable, tomorrow I will enter the palace with my mother to pay New Year greetings to my uncle."

"Where is there!" Wang Shun said a few words modestly, bent over and smiled, "The Duke is very considerate. Seeing that everything is fine with the Duke, the villain will be able to return to the palace to answer your majesty. Tomorrow, the Duke and His Highness needs to come to the palace earlier, His Majesty and Empress are also looking forward to it."

"That's natural, Mr. Wang, go slowly." Qi Huai motioned to others.

Immediately, someone came to see Wang Shun out with a smile, and handed a purse to Wang Shun's hand. While saying no, Wang Shun took it in his hand with a happy smile, squeezed it secretly, and there was a thick stack of bank notes, with a smile on his face. more fun.

After they disappeared, Qi Huai suppressed his smile, straightened his clothes, walked up the steps, and was about to enter the door.

"Whoosh!" But a dagger flew towards him, Qi Huai immediately turned his body, the dagger flew straight to the outside of the courtyard, before he could speak, another dagger flew towards him, Qi Huai quickly tilted his head again, avoiding it again. past.

There was a sound of slapping the table in the room, "Whoosh!", and then there was a sound of piercing, this time it was a feather arrow flying.

Qi Huai smiled and stretched out his hand to grab it, and walked inside, saying as he walked, "It's rare for my son to come back, is this how mother treats me?"

Who was it not Princess Huayang who shot the arrow and threw the dagger just now?

The eldest princess slapped the table hard again, stood up and said angrily: "You still know how to come back! I think you die outside!"

Aunt Lin was so frightened that she immediately said, "Your Highness, those who celebrate Chinese New Year don't want to talk about this..."

"Hmph! I, Zhao Heng, don't believe in Buddhism or belief, let alone in destiny. I only believe in the real things in my hands!"

Today's royal family's surname is Zhao, and the generation of the eldest princess, but in all the direct line of the royal family, the men are named after the king, and the eldest princess is a woman, but she also follows the king, which shows that the late emperor loved her.

Aunt Lin has been with her for most of her life, and she couldn't help worrying: "My lord, is this the Chinese New Year after all, and your husband just came back again."

The eldest princess snorted: "I don't believe it, and my son naturally doesn't believe it either!" After finishing speaking, she looked at Qi Huai.

Qi Huai laughed: "I don't believe it."

The eldest princess looked at Aunt Lin proudly, as if to say: Look! !

Aunt Lin showed helplessness.

Qi Huai laughed out loud, and said warmly: "Auntie has worked hard all these years, mother thanks to your company."

Aunt Lin repeatedly said "I dare not", knowing that their mother and son had not seen each other for three years and had a lot to say, so she immediately retreated with the servants in the house.

Qi Huai personally poured a cup of tea for the eldest princess, bowed solemnly in front of her, and served the tea: "My son is not filial, please invite mother to drink tea."

The eldest princess' jaw was about to fall to the sky, so she deliberately didn't answer it.

Qi Huai pretended to be wronged: "Mother, this tea is boiling hot, my son's hand hurts."

The eldest princess still ignored, Qi Huai pretended to be burned, and made a "hissing" sound, and the eldest princess turned her head in fright, only to see Qi Huai smilingly looking at her, she was scalded!

The eldest princess was so angry that she picked up the feather duster specially prepared by someone at the side, swiped it and whipped it: "If you don't go home for three years, you will be angry with your mother when you go home! Should you hit it!"

It was really hit, but the force of the pump on the body was very small, like a tickle.

Qi Huai deliberately tried to hide or not: "Yes! My lord! I know I was wrong!"

The eldest princess couldn't bear it any longer, and laughed out loud, but her hand still looked like she was going to be whipped. Qi Huai smiled and got up, and put the teacup into her hand: "Mother, drink tea quickly."

The eldest princess then put down the feather duster, drank his tea, and patted beside her: "Sit down!"

Qi Huai sat down according to his words. They haven't seen each other for three years. The mother and son really have a lot to say. Of course, the eldest princess is most concerned about whether he has been hungry or cold or sick in the past three years. But he still asked over and over again, told him to stretch out his hands to look, and pinched his arm again to make sure that he was not injured before he was relieved.

The eldest princess asked him which famous mountains and rivers he had visited in the past three years.

Qi Huai had his own reasons for deceiving his mother, but fortunately, he has indeed traveled all over the world these years, speaking clearly and eloquently, and amused the eldest princess, it seems that it didn't take long before it was dark.

The eldest princess told him again: "Mother knows that there are many people around you, and you know how to use two hands, but you should be careful when you go out, there are many people who don't have eyes."

Qi Huai nodded again and again: "Mother, please rest assured."

The eldest princess looked at his face, her son was already 32, but just looking at his appearance, he seemed to be still at the age of frailty, but the aggressive and graceful aura on his body was definitely not something a young boy could have. She was both proud and bitter in her heart.

In her opinion, the reason why her son has been away all the time for the past 16 years is to avoid suspicion. After all, he has a high status and is the emperor's nephew. Tragic, the son was quite disappointed with the court and even the world, and simply indulged in the mountains and rivers; the third, of course, was Jiang Qiniang. Since he was framed at the beginning, he didn't really love Jiang Qiniang, so he didn't want to stay at home.

Right now, thinking about Jiang Qiniang, she still has to tell Qi Huai that it would be great if Qi Huai is willing to stay in the capital.Qi Huai is already 32, and he has no official position, no matter how suspicious the emperor is, shouldn't he be overly jealous?

She has also seen the emperor's care for Qi Huai these years. When he is not at home, the emperor's instructions and rewards have never stopped, and they are as frequent as ever.

Thinking in this way, the eldest princess wondered how to tell him about Jiang Qiniang.

If you are a man, you don't want to hear about the "being" cuckolded.

Before she could make up her mind, Qi Huai laughed first: "Mother is worrying about Jiang Qiniang?"

"You already know?!" the eldest princess Yuzu said, "That's right, there are so many people around you, someone will always tell you."

"As soon as I entered the city today, someone told me that my mother can rest assured about this matter. It has no effect on me, and I have nothing to do with Jiang Qiniang. There was a reason for what happened back then, so my mother doesn't have to ask, let alone worry. If you do it for me, just treat it as never happened, and live as you want in the future."

The eldest princess heaved a sigh of relief, but was a little bit aggrieved: "You shouldn't have admitted it back then! You were just too kind, and you obviously didn't do it!"

Qi Huai smiled and said nothing.

The eldest princess glanced at him, and wanted to say that Qi Zhinian was a bit pitiful, so why not help him change his name and get a new household registration, this will not delay Qi Zhinian's imperial examination, and he will have a way out in the future , and I was afraid that my son's mood would turn bad, so she didn't open her mouth after all. After all, she could handle this matter by herself, just wait for the wind to pass.

Aunt Lin prepared the New Year's Eve dinner, and invited the two masters to the table, and the housekeepers, big and small, were also waiting to see her.

The eldest princess patted Qi Huai's hand: "Let's go, let's talk about it during the dinner!" Then she asked nervously, "How long will you stay at home this time?"

Sensing his mother's uneasiness, Qi Huai felt uncomfortable. The eldest princess and the old British princess were childhood sweethearts, and they loved each other very much. When he was a child, Qi Huai was very fond of him. He always felt that he could not insert himself between his parents. In the hearts of his parents, He is never number one.

After his father passed away, his mother was the only one in her heart, and she even ignored him for a few years.

After being away from home for so many years, the only thing he is thankful for is that in his mother's heart, he is not No.1 after all.

Only then did he realize that no matter what, he was also his mother's only son.

He held the eldest princess' arm: "This time I will stay in Kyoto for a few more months."

The Eldest Princess immediately smiled joyfully, and the surprise on her face was no less than that of her mother when her father came back from abroad when she was a child.

At the banquet, the Eldest Princess drank a few more glasses of wine and was in high spirits. She kept talking about marrying Qi Huai.

She also took out a brochure, she didn't know how long she had been busy, she insisted on reading it to Qi Huai, Qi Huai couldn't laugh or cry, they were all young ladies from aristocratic families, they were all excellent, the eldest princess drank so much that her eyebrows and eyes were flying: " Whichever one you like, mother will marry in for you! You all have a good time, and those in Beijing who love to gossip are mad at you!"

Qi Huai didn't want to spoil his mother's happiness, so he could only follow suit.

Soon, the eldest princess was drunk, and was helped by Aunt Lin and the maid to rest in the room.

Qi Huai sat outside drinking alone against the moon, watching the night, and inadvertently saw the booklet written by the eldest princess herself. The eldest princess even named it "Golden Jade Lovely Fate Book".

Qi Huai smiled and shook his head, raised his wine glass, then put it down again.

He called someone back.

Qingfeng Langyue never goes down the mountain, and only works as a small road boy in the mountain. The two of them don't even know that Qi Huai has a substitute.

The guards around him are all his personal guards, both bright and dark, who grew up with him. When he was on the mountain, he would pretend to be a Taoist priest, and when he went down the mountain, he would change into a bodyguard uniform. Could not be more faithful.

"Bring me the cloak I wore during the day."

The personal guard Chang Chengqu immediately brought the big cloak, Qi Huai reached out and rummaged inside for a while, took out the roll of red paper, and spread it out, looking at the two sentences on it: "Pearl couples make a good couple, gold and jade make a happy marriage", which means Laughed inexplicably.

In fact, Qi Huai's capacity for alcohol is very poor. He practiced martial arts since he was a child, learned internal martial arts, and paid attention to breathing and returning to the essence. Not only did he eat a light diet, but he also seldom touched alcohol.

Seeing him laughing like this, Cheng Qu, who is familiar with him, bent over and said, "Lang Jun, do you feel sick to your stomach? Do you want some tea?"

Qi Huai shook his head, stretched out his finger and flicked the couplet: "Put it on the door."

"On the door? Which door? The Princess's Mansion, or the Duke's Mansion? Mr. Lang—"

Yep, Qi Huai has already fallen asleep lying on the table.

Cheng Qu scratched his head, arranged for a maid to help Qi Huai to rest, and he went to Qi Huai's courtyard in the eldest princess's mansion to put up Spring Festival couplets.

If it were posted in the Duke's Mansion, people would have recognized it long ago, but it's a pity that if it is posted here, with a different font, no one would recognize it as Qi Zhinian's words.

However, such a pair of Spring Festival couplets pasted on the gate of the Duke's courtyard still caused a great commotion.

The eldest princess, who has a much better capacity for alcohol, woke up quickly. When she heard about this, she immediately brought people to see it with great interest. It was indeed the case!

Aunt Lin said joyfully: "Look, this servant said that Your Highness need not worry, I think our lord has made a clear plan in his heart! You, just wait and eat your daughter-in-law's tea!"

The eldest princess thought so deeply, she smiled so much that the eye lines appeared, and she couldn't help thinking, what kind of exquisite person her son was looking for, she was looking forward to it.

The author has something to say:

I wish the eldest princess all wishes come true soon O(∩_∩)O
