Xie Cheng's cries of pain resounded throughout the entire Qin Palace.

Among the concubines of King Qin who had been punished to kneel and cry in the yard, the one who cried the most with tears in her eyes was sobbing in shock and stopped, and then hiccupped loudly from her throat.

"Why did the prince come here suddenly?!" In the room, King Qin's face was flushed, his facial features were tangled in pain, he was covering his buttocks with one hand, he didn't have the usual demeanor, and he grabbed Zhao Guang's collar with the other hand and gritted his teeth. "The prince and the others didn't say what they came to see the king for?"

Zhao Guang said with a bitter face: "I have said it, His Royal Highness said, you are currently injured and sick, and today you and the two princes are here specially to visit you."

Xie Cheng's complexion was dark: "He is kind, why didn't he meet my brothers and sisters before?"

Zhao Guang didn't dare to say anything, and said cautiously, "Your Highness, the crown prince and the two princes are probably coming soon."

Seeing this, King Qin let out a cold snort and let go of Zhao Guang's collar.

Emperor Jin Yuan's heirs are not very many, and there are only four adult princes now, and the younger ones are still unknown. As the prince, the best personal relationship with the brothers around him is Xie Lin. As for Xie Qu and Xie Qu Cheng had a good relationship when they were young, but when they got older, they had different ideas and gradually drifted apart.

As Xie Cheng said, the relationship between him and these brothers is only superficial brotherhood, not really close.

Like today's sudden visit by the prince and others, Xie Cheng is really not happy at all.

However, when Cao Cao Cao Cao arrived, Xie Cheng's butt hurt so badly that before he could sit back on the cushion, Xie Qu's voice came from outside the courtyard.

It was vague as if he was asking some of his concubines who were being punished, but he couldn't really hear it intermittently.

In Xie Cheng's eyes, compared to the prince's hypocrisy, Xie Lin's temperament is unstable, and what he hates the most is the kind-hearted second brother Xie Qu, who says the same thing, but is the most vicious person.

Xie Cheng still remembers how Xie Qu often blamed him when he was a child, and every time he thinks about it, he hates Xie Qu more and more.

"Go and tell Mi Rong and the others to go back to their own room. Let others see what it's like to cry and cry in broad daylight!" Xie Cheng sat down cautiously holding his buttocks, and said, "It's inappropriate."

Hearing this, Zhao Guang thought to himself, "Your Majesty, you punished your aunts to kneel in the yard, so His Royal Highness happened to meet you. Pity the beautiful aunts, but they were born with such an unsympathetic person." host.

However, he is a mere eunuch, and he only dares to slander a few words in his heart.

Seeing that Xie Cheng had just finished speaking, Zhao Guang answered yes.

Outside the courtyard, Xie Qu had just finished asking the concubines why they knelt here to be punished, and then turned to the prince and Xie Lintan to tell the fourth brother that she doesn't cherish such a beautiful woman, but behaves like this, when it's time to talk about him, Over there, Zhao Guang immediately ran out with small steps to greet them, and then hurriedly sent a few concubines back to the house.

"The crown prince and the two highnesses have been waiting outside the courtyard for a long time, and the slave master is waiting for you in the room!" Zhao Guang bowed and said carefully.

The prince nodded: "Go in."

The three of them were invited into the hall, Xie Cheng sat on a stool wrapped in cushions, Xie Qu entered the room, and after a look, he had an idea in his mind, and pretended to ask loudly: "Is the fourth brother's injury healed?"

Xie Cheng had pain in his buttocks, and he gritted his teeth in his heart, but he still had a friendly smile on his face: "My brother's injury is almost healed, and my brothers are worried."

Seeing that his complexion was still pale, Xie Zhao couldn't help but said with concern: "There is still a box of top-grade golden sore medicine and muscle-promoting ointment that my father rewarded last time in the East Palace. When I return to the palace today, I will order my servant to give it to my fourth brother." Bring it."

Hearing this, Xie Cheng couldn't help but start thinking again.

The prince said to give him the ointment, and said it was a reward from the emperor. Isn't that just showing off to himself that he has won the favor of Emperor Jin and Yuan, and slapped him in the face of the prince who has just been despised?

So he sneered from the bottom of his heart, and Xie Cheng said again: "Thank you, Your Highness, for your concern, but the emperor's grandmother sent someone to deliver the ointment to my younger brother earlier, and my younger brother is really embarrassed to accept it."

It means that although my younger brother, I have suffered in front of my father, I still have the empress dowager behind me, so I don’t need the prince to pretend to be kind.

But Xie Zhao didn't think so much, just nodded and said: "If your medicine runs out, just ask someone to go to the East Palace to get it."

Xie Cheng was shocked when he heard this.

He was even angrier.

Xin said that he felt that the prince was hypocritical, but he was genuine. He just rejected him, but now he turned around and cursed that his injury would never heal? !

It's so deceiving!

The smile on his face was almost unbearable, Xie Cheng suppressed his anger, turned his eyes and asked the maids and eunuchs in the room to serve tea and snacks, and bluntly said that the brothers came suddenly, he was really not good at greeting the younger brother.

The old god Xie Qu was drinking a sip of tea, and when Xie Zhao asked a few more questions about Xie Cheng's recent situation, he inserted into the conversation between the two at the right time, smiled casually and said, "When I came here just now, I was in the courtyard. Seeing the concubines of the fourth brother, they are all beautiful."

"It's just a few singing and dancing girls brought into the room by my younger brother. They have no names or distinctions. If the second brother is interested, how about younger brother giving you a few to play with?" Xie Cheng waved his hand, not caring too much.

Xie Qu quickly shook his head: "Second brother can't stand this beauty's kindness, but I'm just a little wondering where they made my second brother angry, and being punished to kneel outside the courtyard during the day, I think it's too much."

Xie Cheng smiled but didn't smile: "My younger brother forgot that my second sister-in-law is a fierce person, and my second elder brother has cultivated his personality in the past few years, and there are very few newcomers in the backyard to marry."

Xie Qu's face turned black.

But Xie Cheng didn't seem to see his dark face, and continued to say: "Second brother doesn't have a beautiful woman by his side, so it must be difficult for him to understand his suffering. You need to know that women and twins are like needles in the bottom of the sea, especially those dancers. Ji, who comes from a humble background but has a lot of thoughts, if my younger brother always pampers them blindly, his heart will easily grow bigger, and if he is punished occasionally, it is for their own good."

"...fourth brother is right." Xie Qu glanced at the crown prince and Xie Lin who had nothing to do with him, his eyes darkened, and said, "By the way, before entering the mansion just now, this king, His Highness the crown prince and the third brother I met the son of Taifu Li's family."

Xie Cheng paused, and his complexion was not very good: "Second Brother, you mean Li Ziyu?"

Speaking of Li Ziyu, Xie Zhao also thought about it, and asked with a frown, "What happened between the fourth brother and Ziyu, why did Ziyu seem to have a good temper temporarily."

"How do I know what kind of temper he suddenly lost." Xie Cheng curled his lips and said, "I have heard that Mrs. Li has a strict temper, but I see that Li Ziyu is even worse than his father. Li Xian'er has not yet married into the palace to be a concubine. This Li Ziyu first set up the brother-in-law genealogy with the king, and when he came up, he accused the king of being greedy and lustful. The concubine married so many concubines before entering the house, and asked him how his sister-in-law would deal with herself if she married into the mansion .”

It was as if he had found an outlet, Xie Cheng couldn't stop once he said it.

"That's what he asked. Brother, I said that the concubine can be the same as the concubine's room? The concubine's room is just a thing. It's just a pet when you are happy. It must be half a step beyond the main room. But I just said this. After finishing speaking, then Li Ziyu began to call me a heartbreaker again, but whose heart has this king betrayed?" Xie Cheng felt that he had died unjustly.

When Xie Zhao heard this, he couldn't laugh or cry for a while.

If you want him to say that the Li family has a pure family style, Li Ziyu has such thoughts because he is self-disciplined and strict with himself, and his four younger brothers, as the king of Qin in the dynasty, have a rebellious temperament. It's not a mistake to just make people sigh as a vagabond.

Xie Cheng felt that he was inexplicably said by Li Ziyu, and was very angry, but the Li family looked at Xie Cheng, so why didn't they think that their daughter was a trustworthy person?

Xie Zhao was thinking about how to comfort Xie Cheng, but he didn't want King Yu to speak first.

"If you really can't get along, why don't the second brother ask the father to take back his life?" Xie Qu lowered his eyes, and his voice seemed to have some experience, "After all, the second brother and Miss Li are not married yet, so if you find something wrong, stop the loss in time It's not too late... You, don't want to be like my brother and I, who gritted our teeth and married your second sister-in-law, but now I regret it... Sigh, let's not talk about it."

Xie Cheng raised his eyes, suddenly moved: "Second Brother said..."

Previously, when he asked to marry Li Xian'er, what he valued was the influence of the Li family behind her, but now the Li family is so dishonest...

"There is no reason for the emperor's order to be withdrawn at will. The second brother can't help but think too lightly." Suddenly, Xie Lin, who had been concentrating on drinking tea, said slowly, "This king vaguely remembers that the fourth brother had been in Kangtai Palace at that time. In front of everyone, he said that he fell in love with a girl from the Li family at first sight, and now only two or three months have passed, has this friendship faded away?"

At this moment, Xie Cheng suddenly remembered what he said in person at that time, and his face was a little embarrassed.

"I also remember." Xie Zhao frowned.

Xie Zhao said: "Thinking is nothing but a heartbreaker. If the fourth brother really wants to go back on his word, then the young master of the Li family said you are right."

"When is this king going to go back on his word?" Xie Cheng has always wanted to save face, so he couldn't help looking at Xie Channel, "Second Brother, don't mention what you just said in the future. Although I have some conflicts with the Li family, I still treat Miss Li very much." like."

Xie Qu opened his mouth: "...Fourth brother, as long as he doesn't regret it like his brother does now."

After the few people finished talking about this topic in Prince Qin's Mansion, they looked at each other speechlessly. Fang Qiao Xie Cheng's buttock injury was about to be changed again, so he didn't spare them any more.

The crown prince still had some political affairs to deal with in the palace, so he hurried back to the palace, while Xie Qu and Xie Lin parted ways with Ban Daozhong, each going to his own mansion.

On the way back to Prince Jing's Mansion, the sky had gradually darkened.

Xie Lin was sitting in the carriage, seeing Wang Youquan who was following beside him hesitated to speak, raised his eyes and said, "Elder-in-law, what do you want to ask?"

Wang Youquan hesitated for a while, and said: "The old slave just has a doubt in his heart. Although Li Taifu is a pure minister, it is possible that after the king of Qin marries him, his mind will not change. The old slave knows little, but he also knows that Li Taifu has peaches and plums everywhere. The prestige among literati is extremely high, if King Qin and the Li family take this opportunity to unite, it may be disadvantageous to His Highness... But just now, King Qin clearly had some rifts in their marriage with the Li family, so why does Your Highness?"

Xie Lin's expression was indifferent: "Elder-in-law is too worried. The Li family's rules are strict, and they will never act as absurdly as the King of Qin. Besides, Miss Li's temperament is different from that of ordinary families. The King of Qin is with this Miss Li. In the future, I don't know who can overwhelm whom, and if the Miss Li family is capable, she might be able to help me a lot in the future."

Wang Youquan suddenly seemed to understand something.

"The old slave is dull, but His Highness is still clever."

The author has something to say:

Prince: I am not, I am not
