After the Mu family left, Qi Qian entered the old princess's yard, kicked off his shoes and sat on the kang.
"Grandma, it's October already, and there are people wearing cloaks outside. It's time for the earth dragon in your house to start burning."
The old princess waved her hand and said: "In previous years, the fever would have started in September, but now, I don't feel cold yet. You see, my clothes are quite thin, but my hands are also warm."
Qi Qian reached out and touched her hand. It was indeed warm, and he smiled and said, "Even so, the daily prescriptions for body replenishment must be taken on time."
"Yes." The old princess smiled and said, "Thanks to your filial piety, otherwise my grandmother would not be as comfortable as she is now."
Qi Qian didn't care about this credit.
Seeing that he was not very interested, the old princess reached out and patted his hand and asked, "Have you had a good chat with the fifteenth girl?"
Qi Qian twitched the corner of his mouth.
The old princess sighed and said: "I think that girl has her heart and eyes full of you, and she has a good temperament, but you really don't want to?"
Qin Liuxi's approval was too accurate. She wanted to ask for the title of crown prince, but she didn't want to be suppressed. She didn't know what the emperor thought. He just said that there was no rush and that she would start a family first, and then granted marriage and official positions.
The Mu family is also from a high-ranking family, the queen's mother-in-law, and the person who is marrying her is the queen's sister-in-law. She has a distinguished status and is considered a good match.
However, this child is not in a high mood.
The old princess asked tentatively: "If you have someone else in your heart and you really don't want to, why bother with this old face? How about asking the Queen Mother to give up the marriage?"
Qi Qian shook his head: "Grandma, the imperial decree granting marriage has been issued a long time ago. To refute this gift of marriage, I should have asked for it before the imperial decree was issued. But I missed this opportunity and if I go now, it will be an injustice to Prince Ning's palace.
."
The old princess looked at him distressedly, this child is a responsible person.
She thought of the child Qin Liuxi and opened her mouth, but said nothing, saying: "It's good that you understand, Mu Shiwu is a good girl. Since you accepted the imperial edict, you should calm down and be nice to others.
After we get married, with the Mu family as my family, I might be able to hold the position of the heir apparent in the future."
Qi Qian, however, disagreed. He was inexplicably sure that the position of the crown prince would not fall to him.
Thinking of this, he looked out the window and towards the main courtyard with a cold expression.
After a long while, he looked away, a little irritated, and said: "Grandma, please rest, I'm going to practice martial arts."
"Hey, let them take care of you carefully and take a shower as soon as you finish practicing so as not to catch a cold." The old princess said hurriedly.
"Um."
After Qi Qian left, the old princess said to her close confidant, "I haven't seen Qian'er sincerely happy since he returned to Beijing. He was still happy when he was in Ningzhou."
Grandma gave her a bowl of tea and said, "That's what you said."
The old princess sighed: "What a pity."
The child is a good child, but she is the daughter of the Qin family who was a prisoner, or a priest who got into great trouble, and she was just born, so who dares to get into trouble with this?
…
Qi Qian was not the only one who missed Qin Liuxi. Yu Changkong, who had successfully returned to his family, also missed her.
He thought of her while eating, and also thought of her while reading. At that time, he also held a copy of the Qimen Bagua array diagram in his hand, and was lost in thought while staring at the array called the Eight Gate Golden Lock Array.
If it were her place, how would she set up the formation, what about the gate of life, and what about the gate of death?
He was lost in thought, the tips of his ears moved slightly, and he called softly: "Sifang."
Sifang immediately stepped forward, took the book, and stood in front of the case.
In the eyes of everyone in the clan, he is Yu Changkong's eyes, reading to him.
"Brother, are you here?"
Sifang immediately walked to the door, lifted the curtain, looked out, cupped his hands and said, "Second Young Master, our Young Master is here."
The person who came was Yu Linglan, another legendary figure of the Yu family. If Yu Changkong had not been there, he would have been the first son of the Yu family and could succeed the Yu family. Of course, in the eyes of the Yu family, Yu Changkong's generation is also
Only Yu Linglan can carry the banner, but Yu Changkong is blind.
Yu Linglan is the eldest son of the second wife, the son of Yu Changkong's second uncle. He is one year younger than Yu Changkong. Xu is determined to compete with Yu Changkong. He is also proficient in the four books and five classics of music, chess, calligraphy and painting, and has extensive knowledge.
Compared with Yu Changkong, a flower on the high mountain that is difficult to approach, he is like a warm spring, more mellow and approachable.
Yu Linglan, whose courtesy name is Boyin, is known as Boyin's son. He wears white clothes all year round.
The curtain was lifted, Yu Linglan walked in, glanced at the book in Sifang's hand, and looked up to see Yu Changkong sitting in a black robe, with a special chessboard beside him. As usual, he and he
Play chess by yourself.
Yu Linglan bowed her hands and said, "I heard that eldest brother is back. Is the journey going smoothly?"
Although Yu Changkong couldn't see it, the etiquette that Yu Linglan should do was still there.
"TOEFL, everything is fine, sit down." Yu Changkong said a few words simply and indifferently, still staring at the chessboard.
Sifang made a cup of tea and brought it to Yu Linglan, then stood aside.
Yu Linglan said: "Eldest brother, you should play chess with yourself. Why don't you, younger brother, play a game with you?"
"No, are you okay?" Yu Changkong raised his head and looked over. His eyes were as before, as if they were unfocused and calm.
Yu Linglan looked into his eyes and smiled happily: "It's okay, I just wanted to see my elder brother come back and come to see you."
Yu Changkong lowered his eyes, holding black in one hand, and made a move, while holding white in the other hand, he made a precise move to block the path of the black move.
Yu Linglan's eyes flashed lightly and she said: "Brother did not hesitate and was very precise, as if he could see with his own eyes."
Si Fang's breathing was a little messy.
Yu Changkong, on the other hand, kept his expression straight, and said sarcastically, "If you were blind for ten years and had a special chessboard as your companion every day, you could do it."
Yu Linglan quickly apologized: "I didn't mean to poke my brother's wound."
Yu Changkong held the chess pieces between his arms and said, "Get out."
Seeing him chasing people away, Yu Linglan had to stand up. Suddenly, she came close to Yu Changkong and moved the chess piece with her hand: "I think it's more interesting if the white piece moves this way."
He glanced at Yu Changkong's eyes, but the other person just frowned, showing displeasure, and his eyes didn't move at all, not even the end of his eyes glanced over.
Yu Linglan then said goodbye and left.
"Young Master, you scared me to death. I thought the Second Young Master saw it." Sifang said, patting his chest.
Yu Changkong frowned and said, "He's testing. You almost exposed your secret just now. I'm afraid you won't be able to hide it for long."
He can control his expression and eyes, but it is difficult for Sifang and others to act, but Yu Linglan and Yu Changkong have never underestimated him.
"He has actually grown up." Yu Changkong watched Yu Linglan's clothes disappear through the courtyard gate, his brows furrowed, and he didn't know if it was an illusion. When Yu Linglan approached just now, he inexplicably felt a great malice.
Yu Changkong pressed his eyes with his slender fingers, but he didn't know that outside the courtyard, Yu Linglan looked at his courtyard with a sinister smile on his lips: "Interesting."
