After refusing to marry the prince, the general regretted it too much

Ever since the prince invited him to live in Shuying Pavilion, Qin Ye has been dizzy.

There is a saying that happiness comes too suddenly.

And as he came and didn't leave, the Shuying Pavilion was really busy for a while.

Man said that in the small Du Ruoyuan in this county, even in the East Palace in Tangjing City, the maids and eunuchs next to the prince did not have such experience.

Let Ding Guogong stay for a while?Then what?

According to what rules to arrange?

A close minister of the Eastern Palace?It seems to be a little slow.

The prince's concubine?This is even more wrong.

In the end, Yun Zhou cast a glance at the court ladies and eunuchs chattering in the corridor, and said in a low voice, "Go, go, what nonsense!"

He reprimanded a few young eunuchs who talked nonsense, and he couldn't help muttering in his heart.

Look at His Highness and the Lord-in-law like this, if they look at each other by chance, both of them can get red ears, everyone knows what's going on.

The resignation of the engagement back then was originally staged, how about serving it according to the regulations of the crown princess?

But in the history of our Qi Dynasty, there is no reason for the prince and princess to live under the same roof before getting married...

Yun Zhou thought about it and made arrangements in an orderly manner.

So, when Qin Ye went there in a daze for a while, he received unprecedented treatment.

Although he himself was born in a family, his parents were discordant when he was young, and he couldn't take care of it. When he was a little older, he had a withdrawn personality and went to the military camp. There were never many people around him, so it was better to be quiet.

But the scene right now... Qin Ye took a closer look and felt that the number of people in this room was very particular about their positions. It seemed a little less than in the prince's room, but it was not much less.

In any case, this is not the ritual treatment of foreign ministers.

It should be the prince's order, right?

Qin Ye kept in a trance state to take a bath and change clothes. After washing off all the dust, he changed into light casual clothes. He was hesitating whether he should go to the prince's eyes for a while, when a palace lady sent a message, saying that the prince invited him to come in with him. dinner.

Except for the table of venison meat and venison blood that the Prince entered the mansion for the first time, this was the first time the two had a meal together.

Even though he knew it was because they were under the same roof, Qin Ye still felt faintly worried.

The prince is a person who usually looks wide and generous and doesn't care about anything, but in fact he still holds grudges sometimes.

It must be because he was afraid that arranging someone on Xie Ke's bed would hurt the innocent, otherwise those who were waiting for Xie Ke would not be greeting their faces.

If he really got a table of venison blood and venison meat for him, it would be fine for a person like him who has often suffered in the military to eat it.

But this food is a great tonic, if you really eat it, and your mind wanders, someday you will have some nosebleeds in front of the prince or something...

Wouldn't he expose himself completely?

He was so worried all the way, and he didn't feel relieved until he got to the dining table.

The prince obviously didn't hold grudges as much as he imagined, and he never set two tables carefully, as if the monarch and his ministers had different seats.

Because they were not in the palace, they didn't pay much attention to the rituals of the Eastern Palace when setting up the meals. There were only more than 20 dishes on the table, but they were still very delicate and rich.

Xie Heng was originally sitting at the side reading this book, but when he saw Qin Ye coming, he put it down, raised his eyebrows and smiled at him.

Qin Ye's heart fluttered.

Before this, I don't know whether it's because of the pressure in my heart or something else, although the prince's expression is calm and not distressed, when he occasionally smiles, the smile never reaches his eyes.

Today, however, there is really a bright smile on her face.

Bright as the moon.

Xie Heng had never noticed the turbulent emotions in the eyes of the person opposite him. He had been well-educated since he was a child, and he had the habit of not eating or sleeping, but at this moment, he felt that if the two of them were really eating so peacefully, it would be a bit strange. waste.

"If staying in Shuying Pavilion is boring, Yuzhi can also go out for a walk, but now that the city is locked down, there may be nothing new in the market."

The prince's eating posture was extremely elegant, and even tilting his head to ask him his profile was so pretty, Qin Ye didn't want to go around the city at this time.

He also stayed in Ming County for two years, and he was much more familiar with Tangjing than Tangjing. The city scene that he was used to... How could it be more relaxing and happy to stay by the prince's side?

He wanted to refuse, but he didn't know how to speak. Looking at the person in front of him, he blurted out, "Can your Highness accompany me?"

? ?

Xie Heng blinked slightly.

This proposal came out of the blue, but he didn't resist it very much. He went to the county town and stayed in the Du Ruo Garden with the door closed all the time, and he never went out.

But... the prince's eyes turned to the table behind the bead curtain.

There, there are still a table full of southern Xinjiang documents and various reports from Tangjing, which are today's weight.

Qin Ye also followed the prince's gaze to see the table full of things, and then twitched the corners of his mouth indistinctly.

He is a military officer, although he is in charge of the military affairs of the southern border, and even has the title of deputy marshal of the world's soldiers and horses on his body, but he never likes to take care of these mundane affairs other than fighting.

The Zhennan Protectorate's Mansion has a lot of aides, and unless there is an urgent military situation that needs to be decided, he will never let it go.

Problems?

Then there is a problem, as long as he guards the southern border and fights against the southern Zhou Dynasty, everything will naturally be wiped by Emperor Hui and those experienced bachelors of Lizhengtang.

Therefore, Ding Guogong probably couldn't understand such a laborious case.

Qin Ye withdrew his gaze, and said very heartlessly: "You can't finish reading such things as memorials and documents. Now that the city is stable, Tangjing is beyond reach. There is no difference between reading today and tomorrow. Your Highness Everyone is locked in the house, so you have to go out for a walk."

Makes sense.

Xie Heng thought for a while, then nodded, and said, "That's fine."

After he nodded, Yun Zhou, who had been paying close attention to the movement here, had no choice but to speak, and said very "tactfully", "Your Highness, it's been cold at night these few days, and the imperial doctor told you not to blow the air."

……

Qin Ye also thought of something, blamed himself for a while, and before he could speak, he saw that the person opposite seemed to pause for a moment, and the light in his eyes suddenly dimmed.

It looked like a child who was aroused by others, and then disappointed after being stopped abruptly.

He was amused in his heart, but he didn't say anything, he just pursed his lips and said with a smile: "That's it, or after dinner, I will play chess with Your Highness."

Today Xie Heng has read the booklet for a long time, if no one mentions it, it will be fine, if someone does, he will feel a little itchy in his heart, he doesn't want to look at the tedious matters on the table.

But this Ming County is no better than Tangjing, and there are no entertainment items, and this person in front of him is always talking about secret spies in the Southern Zhou Dynasty, which makes it difficult for him to recruit entertainers to watch singing and dancing.

"Alright," Xie Heng nodded reluctantly, as if remembering something, "Yuzhi still remembers what it was like when we played chess last time?"

……

last time?

Last time, he was thinking of giving in at first, but he lost three games in a row. In the fourth game, he couldn't help but say a harsh word, saying that if he loses again, he will let the prince deal with him, and then he cheered up and played chess seriously.

result……

Fortunately, the eunuch next to Emperor Hui came to inform the prince to go to the banquet at that time, otherwise he didn't know how it would end.

Qin Ye gave a dry laugh, his expression was normal, as if he had just remembered: "I owed His Highness a bet last time, but it's a pity that I didn't have enough time and was interrupted by the palace banquet, so I just resumed it today."

Xie Heng looked at him with raised eyebrows, and asked: "One game will determine the outcome?"

Qin Ye wanted to nod, but he didn't do so for a long time.

For a long time, he faced the prince's burning gaze and made a thoughtful expression.

"Two out of three games," he said.

Xie Heng couldn't hold back, and let out a chuckle.

Qin Ye felt that he couldn't hold back his face, so he raised his eyebrows and said, "Then what if His Highness loses?"

Xie Heng rested his chin, looked up and down at the person facing him, recalled Qin Ye's chess skills, and waved his hand generously: "Yuzhi is what he says."

After a while, all the dishes on the dining table were removed, and the two of them moved to the side where the chessboard was set up and sat down.

Qin Ye twirled the chess pieces, thinking quite differently from last time.

Last time when he was about to throw in the towel, he hated himself for being reckless and easily promised, thinking that the crown prince was already happy with him, so what if he asked for something?

This time he was sitting here, what he was thinking about was, if he lost, would the crown prince ask for something?

If so, that would be great.

If he wins, what will he want from the prince?

Thinking about it this way, it seems that winning or losing is not bad?

Almost two hours later, with the light sound of a candle bursting, Qin Ye looked at the chess game in front of him, and made a somewhat frustrated move.

Who is the rumored prince who didn't pay attention to learning chess since he was a child, so that he was not good at learning?

absurd!

Qin Ye looked at the prince's calm and natural attitude with some depression, and said very simply: "It is agreed to let His Highness handle it, and His Highness will do what he says."

He was so willing to gamble and admit defeat, which made Xie Heng face a difficult situation.

Xie Heng just remembered how fast this person ran when he was about to lose chess last time when he uttered big words, so he just teased him.

Really want to find something for Qin Ye to do?

He frowned and thought for a while, his handsome face was stained with a bit of hard work, then his eyes wandered for a while, and finally his eyes lit up when he saw a gold-painted box on the table.

"Yuzhi might as well help Gu answer the letter."

Qin Ye, who was full of thoughts and secretly nervous:?

"Reply to the letter?" Qin Ye concealed the inexplicable feeling in his heart and asked, "I don't know whose letter it is from?"

Xie Heng stretched out his hand to beckon, Yun Zhou quickly stepped forward to take a box, opened it and handed it to the prince with both hands.

The letter was unsealed, but it was put back in its entirety. It was so solemnly placed on the Prince's desk, the person who wrote the letter must have a high status.

And not perfunctory.

Xie Heng took out the letterhead and handed it to Qin Ye, and said with a smile, "My mother, I have been thinking about it for a long time and I don't know how to answer it. I still had a headache because of it earlier today."

Qin Ye had already received the letter in his hand, but when he heard that he was about to start his actions, he paused.

How can he read the letter from the queen to the prince easily as a foreign minister?Not to mention replying to the prince.

Moreover, I don't know if it was an illusion, but this time when he came back from Xicheng, the crown prince seemed to treat him a lot closer?

There is a feeling of gradually crossing the boundary step by step.

The corner of Qin Ye's lips tugged uncontrollably, but the letter was still held in his hand and had not been opened.

He said: "Your Highness has just written letters to the Empress and the Uncle Guo. This letter should not be a reply, right? If the matter is not related to King Duan, this letter should not be difficult to answer. Didn't I take advantage of the sky?"

Xie Heng smiled softly, and said with a smile: "It's okay, this letter is closely related to you, so it's okay to read it."

He paused for a moment, then said again: "It's not easy to come back..."

closely related?

Qin Ye really couldn't figure out that the empress empress in the deep palace would write a letter closely related to himself to his own son in southern Xinjiang.

Discuss how to win over him?

It doesn't make sense.

With 12 doubts, Qin Ye solemnly opened the letter by the candlelight.

After a while, he rubbed his eyes in disbelief.

The letter paper is gold-sprinkled rice paper specially used by the royal family of the Qi Dynasty. On the letter is a very beautiful lower script with hairpin flowers. There is also a private seal of Queen Zhao at the end of the letter, so it should not be a forgery.

But the contents of this letter...

Why is it such a mess!

Queen Zhao said that after much thought, she still felt that the southern border was remote, and it would be difficult for a delicate woman to travel long distances. Let the prince cherish the person next to him, and don't treat him slowly.

Don't say any nonsense about "being strong and healthy and not suffering", learn to be caring and considerate.

Empress Zhao also said that the prince is getting older, but he has not discussed marriage for a long time. It is really inappropriate for the royal family to have no heirs for a long time.The emperor's heir is the most important thing, and the future princess is also a well-educated and reasonable person, so she won't mind.

Empress Zhao finally asked, she thought about it, and felt that since the palace lady was already blessed and her net worth was innocent, she should be given a title, and asked the prince to bring the palace lady back carefully, and decreed that she would be canonized as soon as she returned to the palace.

A letter was written for nearly three pages, and only two sentences asked about the prince's health. He didn't even ask about the southern border. He was all concerned about this 'maid', and his love was almost overflowing. paper sheet.

Qin Ye, who knows who the bewitched court lady is: ...

No wonder the prince was worried about how to reply to this letter.

When he read this sincere letter, his scalp became numb, and he could already imagine what the prince's expression was when he read it for the first time.

It must be very exciting.

"What Yuzhi promised, should he keep his word?" Xie Heng looked at Qin Ye with his elbow propped up, and asked when he saw that the expression on his face had completely changed, and finally a little calm emerged.

"It counts..." Qin Ye closed his eyes and responded.

He thought about it for a while, and gradually he began to care about it, and then he raised the letter paper and smiled.

"Why do you return, His Highness will send it back to Tangjing as it is?"
