From the end to the other world

After Concubine Ning finished speaking, seeing Qin Luochuan's astonished face, she laughed and said, "I don't know if it was the rumors spread by that idiot. There are only a few people in the emperor's harem, so how can there be princes living outside, not so much living outside?" It is more credible to say that you are the prince of the palace."

Qin Luochuan was taken aback, and hurriedly took a step back and bowed to salute: "Luochuan has a father and a mother, and it really has nothing to do with the prince. Please rest assured, the princess."

"I'm just making a random comparison like this," Princess Ning waved her hands, "My lord is reluctant to work hard for his younger brother to raise his own son."

Qin Luochuan hesitated for a moment and asked, "Princess, do you know my father?"

"My lord and I are cousins. We grew up together, what do you think?" Concubine Ning said with a smile, and after a while she said: "However, few people know about your father now, otherwise you wouldn't know about it." Rumors like this will come out.

"I see what the emperor and the prince mean, and it seems that they don't intend to reveal your father's identity, so you have to be careful, these people who spread rumors must have no good intentions."

Qin Luochuan thanked earnestly: "Thank you, princess, for reminding me."

"It's okay, we are considered a family," said Concubine Ning, her eyes became far away, "I haven't seen my cousin Yan for almost 20 years, his son has come to the capital, I should take care of him. "

After Qin Luochuan respectfully sent Princess Ning to the sedan chair, when he went back, he couldn't help taking a photo of his face in the lotus vat at the door.

Ever since he knew Qin Yan's identity, Qin Luochuan guessed that he would save him in the first place, probably because his face was somewhat similar to the emperor's.

This face made him lucky to be rescued before, but now it is also because of this face that he has aroused unknowing amount of hatred.

With his face similar to the emperor, coupled with the rumors that Princess Ning said, if the two grown-up princes in the palace can't accommodate others, he probably won't have a smooth life in the future.

Qin Luochuan touched his chin against the reflection in the water in the tank, feeling a little helpless, but still glad that he had such a face, and to be more narcissistic, he was indeed quite satisfied with his appearance.

What Qin Luochuan didn't know was that shortly after the banquet in Qionglin yesterday, the two princes had taken action.

When Prince Ling Zhen left the imperial garden, a servant whispered something in his ear, and then he turned around and went to the queen's bedroom.

The queen seemed to have expected him to come, and the prince had just seen the ceremony, so she waved her hand to make all the serving maids retreat, and for a while there were only the queen and the prince left in Nuo Da's palace, and then she said: "The prince has If in doubt, just ask."

Ling Zhen said: "My mother knows what I want to ask?"

The queen laughed, "Apart from the recent number one scholar, is there anything else that can worry my son?"

"He really resembles the emperor father," said the crown prince, "My son is worried that he is..."

"No," the queen interrupted, "Even if your father has a prince who lives outside, he can't be at the age of Qin Zhuangyuan. Besides, my son has forgotten, besides your father and Uncle Ning, there is another person The son may look like your father."

"Mother, you mean... Uncle Three Emperors?" The prince was still a little puzzled at first, but when he thought of where Qin Luochuan lived now, he suddenly understood, nodded and said: "I know."

The queen nodded and said: "With his status, as long as your father is willing, it is not an exaggeration to confer a title as a marquis. Now it is just that someone has passed the examination for the number one scholar, and your father favors a little bit, so why not worry about it."

"The queen mother taught me that." The prince bowed his head and said.

After knowing Qin Luochuan's identity, of course he didn't mind his father's favoritism towards him, and he didn't even mind that he treated him better.

The father hated fighting with the same room the most, and the brothers fought against each other. The prince couldn't help but feel lucky. Fortunately, the queen mother knew the existence of the third emperor uncle. Otherwise, if he really did something, the father would definitely not forgive him easily.

As for the fourth prince, the prince and the empress had tacitly decided that the matter had nothing to do with him. He didn't know about the existence of the third prince, and his mother was the only one to blame for entering the palace too late.

And when the fourth prince really did something unfavorable to Qin Luochuan, maybe he could take the opportunity to help him, not only showing kindness to Qin Luochuan, but also improving the emperor's favor towards him.

***

Qin Luochuan didn't know what the princes in the palace were planning, and he couldn't let the rumors stop, so he simply took advantage of the few days before taking office to spend time with his husband and children at home, regardless of how the world turned upside down outside.

Moreover, it was related to the royal family, Qin Luochuan believed that no one would come to him and talk about it even if he took office in the Imperial Academy.

The imperial examination was held on the fifth day after the Qionglin Banquet, and Yang Xi spent several days studying with the lights up at night, but the result was as he expected, and he was admitted to the Imperial Academy as a good scholar.

He took office on the sixth day of May, the day after the Dragon Boat Festival.

At this time, although Shang Qingyue's body has not fully recovered, she can already get out of bed and do some light things. It's just that Qin Luochuan has heard before that if you are tired during confinement, for example, after holding the baby for a long time, it is easy to lose weight The root cause of the disease will fall, and the hands will hurt at every turn in the future.

Qin Luochuan couldn't measure how tired he would be, so he simply didn't let him do anything except eating and washing, which Shang Qingyue had to do by himself. Even if it was a small dumpling, Qin Luochuan only let him tease by the cradle, or let him go. Sleeping together next to the bed, never let him hug her, for fear that he might forget to let go while holding her.

So when Shang Qingyue wanted to change his clothes, Qin Luochuan refused without thinking.

He had to go to the Imperial Academy in the morning for his appointment, and it would not be good if he was late on the first day of his tenure, so he woke up very early.

The original intention was to let Shang Qingyue sleep for a while, and he just got out of bed, so Shang Qingyue asked quietly: "Why doesn't your husband let me do it?"

Qin Luochuan froze for a moment, turned around and saw that Shang Qingyue seemed to have been wronged, half of her face was buried in the quilt, only her forehead and eyes were exposed, and she looked at him with foggy eyes, then said in a soft voice: "It's still early, You need to sleep more."

Shang Qingyue said: "But I want to change my husband's clothes and hair. Before my husband participated in the imperial examination, I did all these. Today is my husband's first day in office. I also want to do these things for my husband."

When he said this, Qin Luochuan also wanted his husband to do this for him, so he took a thick dress from the side and said, "Then you put on this thick dress."

"Okay." Shang Qingyue responded briskly, then turned over quickly and got up.

Shang Qingyue hadn't changed his clothes and tied his hair for a while, but she was still familiar with it. After tidying up everything, she said, "My husband looks the best in official uniforms I've ever seen."

Qin Luochuan laughed, and then couldn't help teasing: "Of course, even if you don't wear it, your husband is still the best-looking you have ever seen."

Shang Qingyue wanted to say that her husband was good-looking, but when she realized what he was saying, she stopped abruptly and blushed: "I won't tell my husband anymore, I'm going to catch up on sleep."

"Go," Qin Luochuan waved his hands and said, "Today our group of new scholars will enter the Imperial Academy, and I'm afraid there will be a welcome banquet. If you come back late, don't wait and go to bed early."

The Imperial Academy where Qin Luochuan and Yang Xi went together was not a high-ranking official like Qin Luochuan, but Yang Xi was still very happy to be able to enter the Hanlin as a good scholar, because according to the usual practice, a good scholar would be born in three years at most. Can stay in the Imperial Academy.

In the Yan Dynasty, there was a rule that non-jinshi could not enter the Hanlin, and non-hanlin could not join the cabinet. Becoming a cabinet scholar was a new life goal set by Yang Xizhong after being a Jinshi. Entering the Hanlin was a step closer to his life goal.

Qin Luochuan didn't think too much about it. In addition to mastering the history of the country, his responsibilities include recording the emperor's words and deeds, drafting imperial edicts, etc. He can almost see the overall situation from a corner, and roughly understand the current operating status of the entire court. It should be said that, in fact, the entire Hanlin The hospital is equivalent to the emperor's private secretarial department. Under such circumstances, you can spend some time to understand it first, and see if you like and are good at a certain aspect of work.

Moreover, if Qin Yan never went to Beijing, he would not be able to stay in the capital for a long time. Unlike most officials, he actually has no obsession with the capital as the center of power. However, Qin Luochuan felt that he might as well be at ease as an official.

Of course, the premise is that the official position must be large enough, and it is not easy to be restrained by others.

When the two arrived at the gate of the Imperial Academy, Wen Shiyan hadn't arrived yet, so they waited for a while, and the three of them went in together.

Because they are newly appointed, this day only someone took everyone to familiarize themselves with the personnel and environment of the Hanlin Academy, and did not let everyone start to do things, and they are new to the Hanlin Academy, so it is impossible for them to do some more confidential things so quickly Therefore, only the compiling of history books is left, which does not need to be taught, and can be done at any time.

In addition to the three of them, there were seven other Jinshi Scholars who came to take office together. As Qin Luochuan expected, several adults jointly hosted a welcome banquet for them after the graduation.

It's just that to his surprise, the location of the welcome banquet is actually in Hualou.

However, it is also understandable that this dynasty does not prohibit officials from visiting flower houses, and it has become a common practice for literati and scholars to love flower houses, and the Imperial Academy is full of scholars in various disciplines, so it is normal to choose to hold a welcome banquet here.

At the beginning of the banquet, there was only one woman playing the piano beside her, which made Qin Luochuan feel that everyone was misunderstood.

As a result, halfway through the banquet, after drinking for three rounds, an adult went out for a while, and when he came back, he was followed by a group of beautiful women. The women sat down next to them one by one, and stretched out their hands to help pour wine and serve food.

There were still a few people left, and they danced in the open space.

If it's just like this, Qin Luochuan doesn't care, anyway, Suxue and Tingyu will help them with this when they serve their meals on weekdays.

It's just that he just bowed his head to drink, and when he raised his head again, he saw that someone had already embraced the woman who was serving beside him into his arms.

Qin Luochuan and Yang Xi looked at each other, both of them were a little embarrassed, but the adult who went out before said: "I'm sorry, I forgot that Master Qin and Master Yang are husbands, do you need to change them? They both look good too."

Qin Luochuan couldn't help but get goosebumps all over his body when he heard the words. When he went upstairs before, he saw a few Shuang'er, not to mention women's clothes, and heavy makeup. Even if he likes Shuang'er, he doesn't like that Thank you for being sensitive.

So he quickly refused, "That's fine."

It's just that he won't touch the woman around him.

Just because he doesn't move others doesn't mean that others don't want to get close to him. After the dancers finished a song, one of them turned around and walked towards Qin Luochuan, then leaned over softly and said, "This Your Excellency doesn't like Sister Yu?"

The woman was fast and close. When Qin Luochuan stretched out his hand to push, half of the wine jug that he had just held in his hand spilled out and splashed on his lapel.

Qin Luochuan couldn't help frowning and said, "I have a husband in my family."

The woman didn't expect him to answer like this, she was a little distracted for a while, and after she realized it, she said: "It turns out that the lord only loves the husband in the family, I was rude."

I don't know if there is more disbelief or more envy in the words.

The banquet was coming to an end, Qin Luochuan got up to leave after being splashed all over with wine.

The lord who went outside to call these girls in saw this and said: "There is a place to take a bath here, Master Qin, why don't you wash and change your clothes before going back?"

Qin Luochuan said: "Thank you for your kindness, sir, but it's getting late, Luochuan should go back and change."

He got up together, and Yang Xi naturally went back with him.

After getting into his own carriage, Qin Luochuan still couldn't help frowning. The smell of alcohol mixed with powder all over his body was really unpleasant.

Yang Xi saw him shaking his clothes to dry the area soaked in wine, and said with a smile, "I'll just go back and change my clothes later."

"Turn around," Qin Luochuan thought for a while and said, "I'll wipe it off first."

May's clothes were already light and thin, and the fronts of the clothes soaked in wine were all attached to her chest, and she even felt that the water droplets had a tendency to drip down her chest, which was really uncomfortable.

In fact, they are two big men, he doesn't care whether Yang Xi turns around or not, after finishing speaking, Qin Luochuan unbuttoned his clothes, wiped all the wet places on his body and his underwear with a handkerchief, When I put on my belt again, although it was still wet, I felt much better.

After arriving home, Qin Luochuan went straight to his yard, and when he reached the door of the bedroom, he remembered that he smelled of alcohol, and was afraid of rushing to Xiaotuanzi, so he asked Tingyu, "Is Xiaotuanzi in the bedroom?"

Ting Yu said: "The little master is next to the nanny."

Only then did Qin Luochuan enter the bedroom, and asked Tingyu to prepare hot water for bathing.

Shang Qingyue was still asleep, and she couldn't help frowning when she smelled the smell of wine and makeup on her husband.

Just as she was about to step forward to inquire, she saw Qin Luochuan quickly unbuttoning her outer robe, revealing the snow-white inner shirt inside. When Shang Qingyue saw it, her face turned pale in an instant, and she asked in a trembling voice, "Husband today Where did you go?"
