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

Xie Heng, who agreed to Queen Zhao's request, went back to his residence in a daze, and saw Qin Ye who was also in a daze.

It's just that he was in a daze because of the blame he was forced to bear, while Qin Ye was playing with the jade pendant given by Queen Zhao, and the brilliance in his eyes seemed to be filled with all the good things in the world.

Seeing the prince coming in, Qin Ye raised his eyebrows and smiled, and raised the jade pendant in his hand towards him, revealing the warm and delicate texture of the thing in his hand.

Like a child showing off what he loves.

Xie Heng laughed, stretched out his hand to tug on his own clothes, raised his eyebrows and said: "Can you change it? How about letting the outside servants see it?"

Wearing the prince's clothes indiscriminately like this, if other people saw it, then the admonisher could directly bury the desk case of the East Palace, that is to say, all the confidantes of the East Palace in this royal garden can tolerate his nonsense.

Qin Ye saw some complaints from the eyes of the prince. Although he didn't know what the queen and the prince said when they went out, he could roughly guess.

The dark patterns on the clothes were intended to be shown to the queen, and he deliberately chose one that he had seen on the prince, isn't it just for this?

He knew it well, but said with a confident face: "I came here in a hurry yesterday, and I didn't bring a change of clothes, so I just picked one at random. Most of the clothes in your highness's closet are like this, and none of them have identity patterns. ..."

Is it his fault that he co-authored it?

Have you seen any royal children with clothes without patterns in their wardrobe?It's not like going out for shopping every day!

Xie Heng cast a glance at him, sat down on the chair angrily, and said, "I will send someone to Duke Ding's mansion to fetch your clothes today, don't wrong us, Duke Ding."

Doesn't this mean that he can continue to live in the main house in the future?

A smile appeared between Qin Ye's brows, and he took the jade pendant that he had been playing with preciously into his arms, and said softly, "Then just now, did your Highness really mean what you said?"

Xie Heng was slightly taken aback, his eyes showed a trace of bewilderment, and asked him: "Which sentence?"

Qin Ye's voice was soft, as if he would be overheard if he said something in a hurry: "Your Highness told the Empress that the minister is yours..."

"Sweetheart."

……

???

Xie Heng was almost stunned by his straight ball, and he was dazed for a long time before he remembered that he had chatted with the queen a while ago, and he had indeed mentioned such a sentence in response.

But... how could anyone directly ask the person involved? !

Qin Ye watched the prince's eyes straightened by this question. After waking up, the hand holding the teacup was clenched tightly, and the knuckles between the fingers turned white.

On the contrary, it was Xie Heng's hastily turned his head away, his slightly rapid breathing and the quietly red ear tips under his hair crown.

He decided to ask another question.

"Later today, if the empress sends someone to send another jade pendant, will His Highness wear it?"

Qin Ye cast a glance at the ornaments on the crown prince's waist. There are quite a lot of ornaments among the princes of the Daqi family, and the crown prince is considered to be a bit more streamlined. Even so, he also has two or three jade pendant sachets on his waist.

Xie Heng knew that he was looking at ornaments, but he still felt that the man's gaze towards his waist was extremely hot, and his voice was hoarse when he spoke again.

"Yes." he said.

-

The queen who returned to the palace from the Royal Garden was not as calm and breezy as she appeared on the surface.

After she returned to her Lizheng Palace, she did not play with the eleventh prince Xie Yi as usual, nor did she burn incense, play the zither, make tea and drink tea. Instead, she summoned the governor who came to the palace to ask for a copy of the royal family register. Quietly put together the horoscope.

Although King Huai is a king with a different surname, since Emperor Xiaozong, there has been an imperial decree to grant grace, and the Palace of Prince Huai regards him as the clan. Qin Ye is the son of Princess Mingxuan, and also occupies a page in the royal family register.

The queen read the Fengshui book for a long while, feeling very frustrated, and felt that there was no one to confide in her secrets, so she couldn't bear it anymore, so she finally burned the two pages full of writing in her hand, and ordered: "Please come to the uncle for a while." Come on, let me tell you that I have something important to discuss with you."

At this time, it was close to the time when the palace gate was about to be released. Zhao Shuyao was in charge of political affairs in the Lizheng Hall.

As soon as Zhao Shuyao entered the palace gate, he saw that most of the servants who served in the inner palace were shunned, leaving only two confidantes whom Queen Zhao valued most, and his heart tightened immediately.

Could it be that King Jin and Concubine Xian did something else?

There was no one else around, but he still greeted the ceremony very politely, took a seat at the bottom, and said: "Why are you bothered by your empress?"

Queen Zhao handed him a piece of paper.

Zhao Shuyao took it and glanced at it, and then recognized that it was the birth date of the two people, and after a closer look, he recognized that one of them belonged to the prince, and his heart was relieved: "Your Majesty is going to choose the princess for the prince. But I don’t know which family’s daughter it is?”

Although the prince's marriage is also a major event, it is always less worrying than other court affairs.

Empress Zhao sighed leisurely, and said: "This is the birth date of the crown prince and Duke Ding. This matter cannot be handed over to the Ministry of Rites for the time being. You can find a trustworthy person to have a look at it. There is nothing wrong with it."

Who is the birth date of the prince?

Zhao Shuyao didn't catch his breath, and almost choked to death on the sip of tea he just poured down.

Empress Zhao sat on the head, looked at her brother's shocked expression, and finally smiled happily.

This morning, when I saw Qin Ye for the first time, my expression was probably similar to that of my brother now?

She was finally relieved of the emotions that had been pent up all day but no one was talking about, and when she smiled, the room was filled with brilliance, and only then did she tell today's events in detail.

Zhao Shuyao's expression was almost dull.

"So...His Royal Highness the Crown Prince and Ding Guogong have been acting? Since the resignation of the marriage in the autumn is acting, the court lady that King Jin met when he went to invite the Crown Prince to go hunting was actually Qin Ye?!"

Zhao Shuyao excitedly stood up and walked around the hall, with an expression of joy and sadness on his face: "This is hidden too well! Thanks to my minister, I still plan to find a good opportunity to ease the relationship between His Highness and Ding Guogong, so I almost missed it." Go ask Duke Huai!"

This matter has been entangled in Zhao Shuyao's heart since the crown prince went on a tour of southern Xinjiang.

He is the prince's uncle, there are many things that are not easy to talk about, so he can only worry about it secretly.

For example, when it was reported that the prince had divorced Qin Ye because he couldn't hold back for a while, Zhao Shuyao could only criticize the prince for being stupid and complain that Qin Ye had a bad temper, but he couldn't go and point fingers at the prince anyway.

Otherwise, Empress Zhao should blame him for meddling in the prince's house.

Seeing that the relationship between the East Palace and Dingguo's mansion became more and more rigid, and there were even absurd rumors that the prince robbed Qin Ye's bedside person in the southern border, Zhao Shuyao was so anxious that a few strands of hair turned gray, and every morning he opened his eyes. Just thinking about how to create an opportunity to ease the relationship between these two.

This is great, it's acting!

For a moment, Zhao Shuyao didn't know whether to rejoice or mourn his gray hair.

Empress Zhao let him get excited for a while, and then said: "This matter can't be brought to light, but Heng'er's marriage is imminent. I invited brother to come here to give him an idea, and to find a way to delay it." Delay, or make other plans?"

The prince Xie Heng has never been married so far, but it is not all because of the six-year filial piety of the empress dowager and the first empress.

Because, when the prince first discussed his marriage, Emperor Hui wanted to show the prince a scholarly family with a clean family background, and the family background was "noble" to a certain extent.

He is only pure and not expensive, and he is also in the same line as the Zhao family, and he is already a sure-fire prince party without any win-over.

And those who looked at King Jin were all rich and powerful families in Tangjing.

Knowing that the emperor is biased and jealous, the Zhao family is not very willing to obey. When they dragged each other back and forth, the first queen died...

After the three-year filial piety period, there was another round of arguments as usual. Before the conclusion was reached, the empress dowager passed away...

Now that the filial piety period has finally passed, if it weren't for the matter of the tour to southern Xinjiang earlier, a minister should have mentioned it in the previous court.

Zhao Shuyao thought about this matter, and he didn't care about it for a while, and said: "According to common sense, it is of course more useful to keep the good news between His Highness and Dingguo in the dark than to show it in the open, but now Your Majesty Even if you are in good health, His Highness's marriage...can't be delayed for so long."

The two brothers and sisters looked at each other, and a thought flashed through their hearts at the same time.

The emperor is now in his sixties, why is there nothing wrong with his health?

Originally, if the good things between the crown prince and Dingguo Bus were not on the surface, and the emperor was in poor health, the crown prince only said that he was worried that his father would not want to get married, and waited a year or so before the emperor collapsed, and the crown prince ascended the throne before directly Wouldn't everyone be happy to have a queen named?

But now the emperor sees that he can live another ten or eight years, how good is that?

Marrying another princess concubine on the bright side?In the future, she will be abolished and replaced by someone else as the queen?

Even if it works back and forth, it doesn't hurt to go to the harem, and the conscience can't get through this.

Zhao Shuyao's eyes were deep, and with his hands folded in his sleeves, he murmured: "I can ask the Qin Tianjian to advise, and use the astrology as an excuse to invite a few masters to come forward and say that the prince is not suitable for marriage in the near future. , It will not be a big problem if it drags on for a while."

Queen Zhao didn't speak for a while.

drag?

Of course it can be delayed, but it cannot be delayed for ten or eight years anyway.

Zhao Shuyao knew what his sister was thinking, but the topic changed: "Earlier, my mother sent a letter to the outside of the palace, saying that there were some changes in Prince Duan's mansion. Now that Prince Duan is in good health, he is walking around frequently. This has only been done by Qian Ri in the past. How can a thief have the reason to guard against a thief the day before? If it is really him who assassinates His Highness, we can't sit still and follow the footsteps of King Duan."

"If you follow the judgment of the Chu court, he has only been around for a few months. Let's wait for him to encounter it. Maybe there will be an opportunity for this matter?"

-

As the sun was setting, Xie Heng lazily leaned on the pillow, watching Qin Ye clumsily put the jade pendant on himself.

This person just got his "yes" just now, and he was as happy as something, with a smile on the corner of his mouth for half a day.

When the people from the Queen's Palace came later, he persistently opened Yun Zhou's hand that was trying to help, but he insisted on doing it himself, because he was also brought up to be served since he was a child, and he was only wearing a jade pendant, so he was in a hurry for a long time.

But when he returned to Tangjing, there were people to help with the affairs of the court, he was not much more busy than when he was in southern Xinjiang, and he was also happy for Qin Ye to make trouble.

After a while, Qin Ye was finally done. Xie Heng looked at the 'masterpiece' on his waist and was about to make a joke when an eunuch came from outside and said, "Your Highness, His Royal Highness Prince Jin is here to see you."

Xie Hengwen's Wen Ruyu's expression suddenly faded a lot, and he felt a little impatient to be disturbed, so he raised his eyebrows and said, "A rare visitor? What is he here for?"

The eunuch bowed his body and said with a bitter face: "His Royal Highness Jin Wang didn't say anything, he just asked to see His Highness, and now he is waiting outside the other garden."

Xie Heng waved his hand: "Let him in." After saying that, he turned his gaze to Qin Ye who was still admiring the jade pendant but was a little distracted, and coaxed, "Yuzhi?"

Qin Ye glanced at him angrily, knowing that he had to "temporarily avoid" again, and didn't move at all: "Is this how shameful I am?"

Same rhetoric, but different people.

Last time Xie Heng felt upset, but this time he felt... a little cute?

He looked at Qin Ye's slender fingers that had not been retracted after finishing the jade pendant, his Adam's apple rolled, and then he pointed at the jade pendant around his waist, and said with a smile: "You are the one who has the empress jade pendant, how can you not see it? "

He paused again as he spoke, a little helpless and conniving: "The solitary dormitory should be furnished with ceremonies, don't break the porcelain vase, otherwise the chief minister of the palace will come to the East Palace to cry."

Qin Ye: "..."

He does everything for a purpose!It's not aimless throwing for fun!

Xie Ke waited patiently outside the other garden for a long time before he was allowed to come in.

As soon as he entered the door, he saw his imperial brother leaning lazily. Although there was a stack of memorials on the table, they were stacked very neatly, without any trace of being turned over.

It's like there is a demon concubine who can't get rid of her body.
