The word "Xiao Fu" is written in a strong handwriting, each stroke is like a silver hook painted on iron, and it is impossible to tell that it came from a woman's hand.

Qin Di could see at a glance that this was Princess Duan's words. She had seen these two words on Princess Duan's bookcase with her own eyes a few days ago.

She looked up at the plaque without blinking, her heart like a mirror.

Qin Di knew that this plaque was a declaration, which meant that Princess Duan was determined not to have sex with King Duan.

As far as Princess Duan herself is concerned, she and Duan Wang have been separated from each other. In the future, her home will be "Xiao Mansion" instead of "Duan Wang Mansion", and she will no longer give herself her husband's surname.

The only difference between the two is that piece of paper and the book.

After a few days of careful cleaning, the house has been completely new. Not only has the plaque been replaced, but the door has also been repainted. The smell of paint has not dissipated until now.

Princess Duan is indeed elegant. Originally, this place was just a dowry house. In the past few decades, it has only left a few old servants to take care of it. The previous princess has never come to live here.

When Qin Di first came here, the place was empty and not very popular. Some pavilions had not been repaired for many years, and the paint was mottled. But as soon as Princess Duan moved in, it took only a few days to renovate the courtyard. Wherever it is, the courtyard is full of green shades, and the rocks, flowers and trees are embellished, and the layout is elegant and unique.

"Miss Qin, go this way."

A little maid walked in front to show Qin Di the way, all the way to the small flower hall in the garden.

Princess Duan was sitting by the window and making tea. She was wearing a lilac-colored four-peddled robe, and the gold-inlaid mutton fat and white jade swastika hairpin on the bun shimmered faintly in the sun. With an elegant and quiet atmosphere, she looks as if she is several years younger.

Thinking of the miserable days that Princess Duan lived before, Qin Di felt that Princess Duan's divorce was worth it!

She raised her hand to signal the maid to keep silent, walked over lightly, and sat down quietly without disturbing her.

Concubine Duan's expression was focused, her eyebrows were lowered, and the tail finger of her right hand holding the bottle was slightly warped, like a flower.

Little Book Pavilion app

Princess Duan's elegance was conceived in a century-old family and developed from within.

The princess is so good, that scumbag prince still doesn't know how to cherish it, and he deserves to be kicked!

Soon, Princess Duan finished ordering the tea, and looked at Qin Di with a smile, "Xiao Di, have a cup of tea."

In the black-and-green-glazed tea cup, strands of white air rose up. On the dark green oolong tea soup, there was a picture of birds flying in the distant mountains, which was so beautiful and delicate that Qin Di was amazed.

Qin Di thought about the newly changed plaque outside the house, and he was no longer called the princess, so he changed his name: "Mrs. Xie Xiao!"

Mrs. Xiao was stunned, smiled, and her expression became softer. This girl is so cute!

Qin Di carefully lifted the tea bowl, enjoyed the tea soup for a while, then sniffed its fragrance, and then took a sip of the tea soup to savor its taste.

The tea soup brewed by the technique of ordering tea is slightly bitter, and the tea taste is mainly sweet and smooth. She has read all of these in the "Tea Classic".

bitter.

Qin Di said with conscience: "Delicious!"

Mrs. Xiao looked at the smile in Qin Di's eyes a little deeper, and instructed the maid, "Go and tell Zezhi, Xiao Di is here."

The maid took orders and left.

Only then did Qin Di know that Gu Zezhi was here today.

On the night of Lantern Festival, Mrs. Xiao moved out of the palace, and that night Gu Zezhi also moved out and lived with Mrs. Xiao, and never lived in the Duan palace again.

Qin Di also knew these things, but after the fifteenth day of the first lunar month, Gu Zezhi was very busy and disappeared every day. Qin Di came here several times, and today was the first time she saw him after the Lantern Festival.

After a while, Gu Zezhi came, and the servant behind him came over with a Western bell.

This western clock is about half a foot high, and it is made into the shape of a western castle, which is gorgeous and delicate.

Mrs. Xiao knew at a glance who this gift was for, and said with a smile, "Zezhi, is this for Xiaoji?"

Gu Zezhi calmly nodded in response.

The servant silently put the Western clock on the square table next to it, and then suddenly realized why the third master suddenly bought a fancy Western clock from Tiangongzhai. It turned out to be for the future third lady.

At this time, it happened to be Shishi, and a small door on the western clock opened automatically, and a green parrot the size of a baby's fist slowly moved out, making a clear timekeeping sound: "Guru, Guru, Guru..."

Qin Di was not used to using the pot here to check the time. For her, this western clock was too useful.

Her eyes were sparkling like jewels, and she carefully looked at the colorful and unique Western-style clock, and praised with a smile: "This Western-style clock is really exquisite."

Mrs. Xiao's smile deepened. She looked at Qin Di and Gu Zezhi back and forth, and said to herself, "My son is still very good at coaxing the little girl to be happy, not bad!

Gu Zezhi sat down with his robes up and changed his words: "Mother, the father sent someone back to the western border yesterday. The father should let the prince and his concubine also come to the capital to 'clarify' one or two." He meant Deeply accentuates the word "clarification".

A maid quickly served the three of them with hot tea that had just been brewed, and the tea cup that Mrs. Xiao had just picked up paused for a few breaths in the air before slowly bringing it to her lips.

Qin Di was also drinking tea. She couldn't understand what others said in the past about Longjing's sweetness and freshness, but after drinking that cup of tea ordered by Mrs. Xiao, she could only know the difference after a comparison.

This brewed tea is really delicious, mellow and sweet, and the lips and teeth are fragrant.

She took a sip of tea and narrowed her eyes contentedly.

Gu Zezhi looked at Qin Di, the corners of his lips twitched, and he continued, "However, mother, don't worry about it, leave this to me."

His voice was neither light nor heavy, neither hurried nor slow, he said, with a kind of comforting power.

Mrs. Xiao smiled and said, "Okay."

She is living a very happy life now. She has a son and a future daughter-in-law to honor her, and she also cares about the troubles of Duanwangfu! Are you okay to block yourself? !

Mrs. Xiao looked at Gu Zezhi, and a warm current flowed in her heart. Her Zezhi has grown up and can protect her.

Since her son wanted to vent her anger, she would not stop her. Besides, the account of the prince sending someone to hunt down his son should be settled!

Mrs. Xiao said again: "Zezhi, you can do it with confidence."

Qin Di continued to drink tea with a smile, his eyes twinkling.

In the novel, after being accused of murdering his father and mother, Gu Zezhi was dormant for a few years, but if he didn't make a move, he became a blockbuster. Lived in the military power of the Western Xinjiang.

Gu Zezhi picked up the tea cup, and elegantly used the tea lid to remove the foam on the tea soup, calm and relaxed, like the breeze in the bright moon.

When he was in the Western Xinjiang, because of the deliberate suppression by the father and the prince, the people around him were basically given by the father. In order to reassure the father and king, and to show that he has no intention of competing with the prince for the throne, in those years, he has been left by the father and the king.

However, his concession was only in exchange for their pressing step by step. When he was seventeen years old, his father recalled him from the front line to Luo'an City. He understood everything, and then began to make arrangements in secret. Although there are not too many people, it is enough.

After taking a sip of hot tea, Gu Zezhi raised his head and suggested again, "Mother, do you want to bring your dowry to the capital?"

Mrs. Xiao felt that her son was too thoughtful, and readily agreed: "Okay!"

Mrs. Xiao looked at her son and daughter-in-law lovingly. In the future, it would be good for their family to live in the capital for a long time. They don't need to pay attention to the disturbances in the western border. Moreover, Qin Di does not need to marry far away, and his son can stay in the capital to earn a future on his own.

Seeing Mrs. Xiao's open-minded expression, Gu Zezhi's heart was completely relieved: Mother really saw it.

Gu Zezhi smiled and said, "Mother, after a while, the weather will be warmer. How about you go back to your uncle's house for a while? You haven't been back to Jiangnan for many years."

When Mrs. Xiao heard what he said, her eyes suddenly lit up and her heart was moved.

The capital and Jiangnan are far apart, and since she got married, she has never returned to her parents' home. Later, as Duan Wang went to the Western Xinjiang again, it had been 30 years. In these years, this was the first time she had left the Western Xinjiang.

She hasn't seen her brother, sister-in-law, nephew and niece for many years...

Her brother and sister-in-law have kept it for her in her family's yard for so many years. don't know if the 300-year-old sycamore tree is still there, as well as the swing in the garden, the flower gallery...

Mrs. Xiao's eyes quickly flashed past the corner of her family's home, where she grew up. Even though she hasn't gone back for so many years, it is still deeply engraved in her memory.

Just thinking about it, Mrs. Xiao couldn't wait.

Anyway, she is very free now, and she can leave whenever she wants.

She eagerly figured out when it would be better to set off, "Going from the capital to the south of the Yangtze River has to go by water. It depends on when the spring ice will melt this year, and whether there will be spring floods along the way..."

Gu Zezhi said in a timely manner: "Mother, don't worry, I will send someone to take a look at this matter. The most important thing now is that you have to listen to the doctor's words and take care of yourself first."

Mrs. Xiao had already started to think about what gifts to bring to her brother, sister and nephew when she went to Jiangnan this time, and waved her hand casually, "Isn't my body better?"

Gu Zezhi said: "It's up to you to say whether you are in good health or not, it's up to the imperial doctor."

Mammy Wang looked at their mother and son and smiled even deeper, and said to Madam Xiao, "Wang... Madam, what the third master said is right, you have to take good care of yourself, so that the uncle and the others don't worry about you."

Qin Di lowered his eyes and sipped his tea, one sip after another.

Why did she think that Gu Zezhi was deliberately trying to spare his mother?

Is it her delusion?

Qin Di lifted his eyelids and glanced at Gu Zezhi beside him.

Gu Zezhi drank tea gracefully, exuding a noble and self-controlled temperament all over his body. At first glance, it seemed mild and harmless, but in fact...

Ahem, with Gu Zezhi's black-bellied nature, this 80%... No, it should be said that this is definitely not her illusion! !

what to do? She seems a little impatient to see the show!

The corners of Qin Di's lips curved, and it was estimated that there would be some liveliness next.

Qin Di was enjoying herself, but she didn't know that her glance and smile just fell into Mrs. Xiao's eyes. Mrs. Xiao smiled more cheerfully and lovingly. In addition, she also brought a touch of the elders to see the younger generation's unique interest.

Seeing Mrs. Xiao smiling at him, Qin Di also smiled at her obediently.

In the flower hall, the atmosphere is warm and happy.

Mrs. Xiao kept Qin Di in the mansion for lunch, and it was not until half-afternoon that Qin Di left, and Mrs. Xiao sent Gu Zezhi to see Qin Di for a ride.

Qin Di stopped riding in the carriage, and walked along Goldfish Lane with Gu Zezhi. As for Du Ruo and the Western Bell, they were both sent into the carriage and followed far behind them.

Today's weather is very good, the sun is shining, but the cold wind blowing still carries a biting chill.

Qin Di's small body has always been afraid of the cold. Although she was wearing a thick cloak outside, her hands and feet were still cold. She raised her hands and sighed against the frozen red palms.

She was wearing three layers inside and three layers outside, so she almost had to wrap the quilt around her, while Gu Zezhi, who was beside her, only wore a thin purple robe. a sharp contrast.

"Give me your hand."

Gu Zezhi said suddenly.

Qin Di obediently handed him his right hand, and his dry and warm palm covered her cold little hand, warm and numb.

So warm!

The two held hands, arm to arm, and got closer to each other. When the wind blew, the good smell of his body penetrated into the tip of her nose again, accompanied by his gentle and pleasant voice:

"Xiaoji, have you ever been to Xijiang?"

Qin Di looked at his well-defined profile and shook his head honestly, "Never."

"It's windy and sandy in the west, so it's better not to go." Gu Zezhi smiled slightly, "It's cold in winter and hot in summer, and in spring, there are many insects and ants, and people are often poisoned by poisonous insects. The habit of worm sachets."

Qin Di blinked and was confused.

Gu Zezhi stopped and covered her left hand instead, with a deeper smile, "The prince loves my mother so much, I just gave the prince a gift."

He said all the words, Qin Di naturally understood and blinked. In other words, Gu Zezhi used the way of man to treat his body, added the red phoenix grass to the sachet, and gave it back to the prince.

Yes or no?

Qin Di looked up at Gu Zezhi and asked with his eyes.

Gu Zezhi smiled without saying a word, looked at Qin Di, and silently confirmed her guess.

He and Qin Di have already engaged, so he will not hide anything from her. He has never been a person who repays grievances with virtue.

This is him!

Qin Di's eyes were sparkling, if it wasn't for Gu Zezhi's hands, she would have applauded him and nodded, "High!"

Golden thighs really deserve to be golden thighs, you won't suffer from anything you eat!

Gu Zezhi smiled lowly, his Adam's apple rolled up and down, and the bright laughter was blown away by the oncoming cold wind...

Qin Di tugged at Gu Zezhi's sleeve curiously, his eyes brightened, and he asked, "What else?"

She firmly believes that with Gu Zezhi's character, he must not only do this, but return it ten times more, and it is more in line with the character of the villain!

Gu Zezhi looked at her quietly, ripples appeared in his eyes, and his smile became stronger.

He snapped his fingers abruptly, and the white horse who had been following the two of them walked over to them.

Gu Zezhi touched the skin on the white horse's back, took out a hot pumpkin-shaped hand stove and stuffed it into Qin Di's hand, "Take it."

Qin Di stared at him, stared at him, stared at him.

Since he has a hand stove, why didn't he take it out earlier!

Gu Zezhi put away the stove, Qin Di took a step forward, grabbed the stove, hid it in the cloak, and let out a satisfied sigh between his lips and teeth.

Forget it, don't bother with him for the sake of the hand stove!

She snorted arrogantly and took a step to the right.

Gu Zezhi was two steps behind, and immediately chased after him, and then said: "I asked someone to bring that monk to the capital. As for the prince." He said meaningfully, "For the time being, he can not use..."

Qin Di was stunned by his words again, and listened with relish.

The adjacent street was very lively, with countless pedestrians coming and going, making noise and noise, drowning out Gu Zezhi's voice.

One of the two talked, the other listened, and walked forward leisurely, completely unaware that in the second floor of the Shenghua Pavilion on the right, a scorching gaze was looking at the backs of the two of them.

"Sister Xin!"

When Yingluo's voice came from her ear, Qin Xin came back to her senses, withdrew her eyes, looked at Yingluo, and closed the window to cover up her abnormality.

"The county master," Qin Xin's hand crossed the square table between the two and held Yingluo's right hand, with a bit of helplessness in her voice, "...The emperor will probably still marry Beiyan."

Qin Xin remembered that in the last life, Daqi did not have a relationship with Beiyan in the end, only signed a peace agreement, asking Beiyan to pay indemnity and pay tribute every year. Later, within a few years, Beiyan tore up the agreement and sent troops to attack again. Northern Xinjiang.

At that time, she was far away in the Lingnan exile, and the news was blocked, but this incident shook the whole Daqi, and there was a lot of buzz in Lingnan.

Qin Xin grabbed Yingluo's hand subconsciously, and her eyes flashed.

In her previous life, she had accidentally heard a demoted Beijing official say that, after all, the reason why Beiyan was tearing up the peace book was because the two countries failed to reach a good relationship. .

She has persuaded Gu Jing to go to the emperor and invite him to participate in the peace talks between the two countries. With Gu Jing's coordination, the two countries will definitely be able to get along smoothly and reach a peace negotiation. At that time, the two countries will have a permanent truce, and Gu Jing will be able to take the lead.

And she can also make Gu Jing value her more.

Thinking of this, Qin Xin's eyes brightened.

"Really?" Yingluo shook Qin Xin's hand uneasily. "Sister Xin, you... did you hear what the second prince said?"

Qin Xin just said: "The county master, this relationship is related to the peace between the two countries, and it is imperative."

She neither said yes nor said no, but in Yingluo's ears, she only thought that Qin Xin was inconvenient to speak bluntly.

Wreaths:"……"

Yingluo's face was three-pointed pale, her eyes couldn't hide her anxiety, and her body was tense.

Not only is Changning afraid of marriage, but Yingluo is also afraid.

Now everyone else thought that she had hurt Chang Ning's face. If Da Qi really wanted to marry Bei Yan, the emperor would probably choose her. After all, Da Qi couldn't send a disfigured princess to marry him.

She also thought about asking her concubine to quickly set up a marriage for her, so that she would not be chosen to marry her, but her concubine always said that she thought too much, and in a hurry, she couldn't find any good candidates for the ceremony. Her dignified prince's direct daughter can't be hastily married, not even a concubine!

"County Master, don't worry." Qin Xin's other hand also covered Yingluo's right hand, holding her right hand tightly, "I know you are misunderstood because of me... You can rest assured, I It will definitely help you!"

Qin Xin looked at Yingluo with a sincere face, her eyes bright as stars.

"Sister Xin!" Yingluo looked at Qin Xin moved, her eyes were sour, she thought Qin Xin was really nice.

Everyone, including her father and brother, felt that she had hurt Changning, and only Qin Xin believed her.

Only Qin Xin knew what she was afraid of, and only Qin Xin would help her!

Yingluo hurriedly said: "Sister Xin, what should I do?" She couldn't sit still and wait until the emperor ordered her to marry her, then it was done and everything was too late!

Yingluo looked at Qin Xin, as if a drowning man had grabbed a piece of driftwood.

Qin Xin looked at her fixedly and asked, "Do you believe me?"

"Believe." Yingluo nodded vigorously, "Of course I believe it."

Qin Xin hooked her fingers to her, and when she put her head close, she whispered in her ear, "Now, as long as Prince Yelu takes the initiative to ask who he wants to marry, you will naturally escape the disaster."

Yingluo immediately thought of Qin Di, frowned and said, "However, Prince Yelu took the initiative to ask Qin Di to marry him, but the emperor did not agree."

"Qin Di is just a courtier's daughter. How can she represent Da Qi to marry." Qin Xin chuckled disdainfully.

Yingluo thinks about it too, the two countries have always been close to each other, and they are both royal princesses or royal daughters.

Qin Xin continued talking eloquently: "Besides, if the two countries go to war, a minister and daughter in Qinji District will not be qualified to represent Daqi to ease disputes between the two countries. Such a relationship is meaningless at all. Naturally, the emperor would not will agree."

After listening to Qin Xin's analysis, Yingluo felt that it was reasonable, and unknowingly she followed Qin Xin's words and asked, "Sister Xin, who do you think would be better to marry her?"

Qin Xin hooked her lips and smiled, and asked, "Who does the county master hate the most?"

Yingluo bit her lower lip.

To say that Yingluo hates the most, no, to say that the most hated person is Qin Di and the third princess Changning.

Thinking of Changning's pitiful face, the anger in Yingluo's heart couldn't stop surging, she gritted her back molars and said, "Chang, Ning!"

Qin Xin nodded and replied, "Okay, let's go to Changning."

Her voice was full of confidence and sincerity, as if she was willing to do anything as long as she could help Yingluo vent her anger.

Yingluo believed Qin Xin at once, and eagerly said, "Sister Xin, what can I do?"

"Master, listen to me..."

Qin Xin smiled slightly, and her clear and lively voice carried a kind of demagogic power. She poured a cup of tea for Yingluo herself, and the sound of pouring tea echoed in the elegant seat.

By the time Yingluo left the seat alone, it was already half an hour later.

Qin Xin was in no hurry to leave, sitting alone by the window, sipping tea slowly.

The Qin family couldn't help her anymore, she had to plan for herself, and she wanted the second prince to know that she would be more helpful to him than Yun Jiao Niang!

Even if Yun Jiao Niang will be the second prince's concubine in the future, what if she is an unloved wife, she will only spend her days in the cold palace in the future, so there is nothing to be afraid of.

Qin Xin's eyes became firmer, and she swore in her heart:

This road to glory, she will take it step by step by herself!

One day, she will make Qin Di kneel in front of her, wagging her tail for pity!

"Scholarly, let someone prepare a pen and ink for me." Qin Xin ordered.

The maid Shuxiang who was waiting on the side hurriedly responded and went out to give instructions to the maid.

Shenghua Pavilion has always been equipped with four treasures of the study, such as pen, ink, paper and inkstone, for the ladies to swipe and splash ink at any time. Soon, two maids came in, put the pen, ink, paper and inkstone on the desk in the corner of the elegant seat, and quietly retreated. go down.

Qin Xin was confident, finished writing the letter in one breath, handed the letter to Shuxiang and said, "Take this letter to Qingming Tea Room."

The shopkeeper of Qingming Tea Room is Gu Jing's nanny brother. Since Qin Xin was demoted to a concubine, she has less chance to meet Gu Jing, so she has been sending messages to Gu Jing through Qingming Tea Room.

Shuxiang responded and hurried to do it.

In the early morning of the second day, the second prince, Gu Jing, was the first to stand out from the queue, and said to the emperor, "Father, the five hundred Turkic horses that the second prince Yelu gave me to Daqi last time have arrived in the north. frontier."

As soon as these words came out, many generals in the Golden Dragon Hall showed joy and radiance.

Daqi's war horses are far inferior to Turkic horses in terms of speed, endurance, combat power, etc., so that Daqi's cavalry as a whole is also weaker than Beiyan's. If you want to improve the combat effectiveness of cavalry, you need to increase the combat effectiveness of soldiers. Not enough at all.

These Turkic horses are too precious to Da Qi.

Cheng Engong quietly winked at an official in his thirties with a goatee a few steps away.

The official walked out of the queue of civil servants, clasped his fists and saluted to the emperor on the golden throne, and said righteously: "Your Majesty, I have the five hundred Turkic horses this time. achievement."

Gu Jing said humbly: "Father, Bei Yan is also sincerely talking with me, Daqi, and the truce between the two countries will be of great benefit to the country and the people."

The official immediately followed Gu Jing's words and said, "Yes, Bei Yan is willing to offer 500 Turkic horses, which shows his sincerity. The third son of Gu has been in charge of the peace talks with Bei Yan for several months, but the peace talks are still delayed..."

His remarks almost slammed Gu Zezhi for not doing things well.

As soon as these words came out, some of the civil servants in the queue were moved and exchanged glances in twos and threes.

It was a good job to negotiate with Beiyan. Beiyan had already surrendered to Daqi. It is conceivable that the conditions of the peace talks tended to favor Daqi. It was not a difficult task. How much to pay.

When the treaty between the two countries is set on a truce in the coming day, it will be a great achievement that will go down in history!

When the emperor gave Gu Zezhi the beautiful job of peace talks, many people were dissatisfied, but because Gu Zezhi was the direct son of King Duan and the clan, if they objected without reason, they would only be attacked by the clan. Of.

It's different now, it's because Gu Zezhi's actions are not good.
