After carefully sending the group of princes and brothers who could not be offended to Zhengyang Gate, Qi Ke and Qi Chen breathed a sigh of relief.
"Finally I feel relaxed." Qi Chen stretched out and leaned against the wall of the carriage. He glanced lazily at Jin Xi who was looking at the street view, and couldn't help nagging: "Sister, next time when you buy food,
But you have to look carefully. If there are young masters wearing luxurious clothes around you, be sure not to rush forward in a hurry. If we have a battle like today again, I will really be too much for you."
Upon hearing this, Jin Xi retracted her head from the window, tilted her head and looked at Qi Chen with a smile, "Second brother, don't you know? Under the emperor, it is normal to meet noble people when going out."
This means that even her five-year-old baby knows about it, but he doesn’t. How embarrassing!
"Brother, is she the well-behaved and elegant sister that Fujin said? Or did we actually bring the wrong person? Did we bring a naughty guy out?" Qi Chen, not to be outdone, immediately pulled Qi Ke into a quarrel with Jin Xi.
"Second brother is shy! If you can't convince others, then you drag the eldest brother into trouble!" Jin Xi made a face with a smile. Since she accepted them as brothers in her heart, she naturally had a lot of interactions with them. She seemed to regard them as their own.
Lin Jinyu.
"Okay, let's see how I deal with this little girl like you! Even if you make fun of me, where can I, Qi Chen, put my face?!" Qi Chen pretended to tickle Jin Xi, causing her to laugh and fall down.
In Qi Ke's arms.
Bursts of laughter like ringing bells came from the carriage, drifting far away with the direction of the wind...
Yinzhen looked at the distant carriage, thoughtfully. Although he was not sure yet, she gave him the urge to continue observing.
"Fourth brother, second brother's carriage has arrived..." Yinzhen tugged at the hem of Yinzhen's clothes and pointed at the bright yellow luxury carriage coming from the west.
He looked back and glanced at Qianmen Street, which was gradually becoming quiet. On New Year's Eve and Reunion Day, the street closed early. Those who went home went home, and those who went out of town left the city... And his current residence was in the Forbidden City...
…………
"Eh? Brother, brother, stop the car!" Jin Xi took back her head lying outside the window and called Qi Ke urgently.
Although Qi Ke didn't know what she found, he immediately ordered the groom to stop.
Jinxi jumped off the carriage neatly, turned around and stuck out her tongue in embarrassment at the frowning Qi Ke, forgetting all the ladylike etiquette in her haste.
At the corner of the shop where the carriage stopped, a teenage girl huddled in the corner, her head lowered, and she muttered something.
"Hi! What a coincidence!" Jin Xi stretched out her right hand and waved in front of her. The girl was so frightened that she shrunk and looked at Jin Xi carefully with her deer-like eyes, "Ah! It's you! Are you okay?
?That’s great! Wuwuwu...I finally found a few people to go back to look for you...I couldn’t find you, and those two bad guys...were also gone. I thought...I thought..."
"Do you think I was captured by them?" Jin Xi finished her words in a funny voice, and she swallowed the words that she could not say.
"Well... I'm sorry... I have been praying just now, hoping that you are okay... Wuwuwu... I shouldn't have run away at that time... But I was too scared... I wanted to find someone to save... I... wow...
..." The girl cried louder and louder, and finally she hugged Jinxi and started to cry loudly.
Crying, Jinxi was caught off guard, "Hey...Miss...Sister, please stop crying...Don't you think I'm fine? I'm fine. I'm amazing. I kicked one over with just one kick, and then ran out...
...Don't cry..." Jin Xi comforted the girl in his arms incoherently, and even brought out her "great achievements" in the alley to coax people. Unexpectedly, Qi Ke and Qi Chen listened attentively.
"Ulanara Jinxi, it seems that you still have something to hide from us!" Qi Chen's angry voice sounded behind her, while Qi Ke's face was full of displeasure.
Oops! She completely forgot that there were two unsuspecting guys behind her... Wow... I can't cover it now...
…………
"So, you, a five-year-old girl, dared to follow two of them into a small black alley alone? And you spoke out to save her? But you were almost kidnapped by those people to Nixiao Pavilion?"
After listening to Jin Xi's brief and brief narration, Qi Chen combined the conversation between the two of them and came to such a frightening conclusion.
"That... second brother..." Seeing Qi Chen's angry look, Jin Xi couldn't help but swallowed her saliva, and carefully comforted the young man in front of her who was very likely to go berserk: "I can't... run very fast, right?
..." Four months of special physical training is not in vain.
"Shut up!" Qi Chen couldn't help but growl. He really wanted to wake up this ignorant little girl! She was so bold. If... if she had been slower, instead of escaping from the alley, she was taken away by the people from Nixiao Pavilion.
Let's go, then... God! He simply couldn't imagine what might happen next...
"Brother..." Jin Xi turned to look at Qi Ke weakly, "I was wrong. I really know I was wrong. I swear! I will never do it again next time!" She stretched out her right hand and vowed.
"Forget it, Qi Chen, let's go home first. Don't tell anyone what happened today, especially Amma." If he knew about it, his legitimate daughter would have been almost taken away by the minions of the brothel... Well, with his violent temper
, I’m afraid the consequences will be disastrous. Maybe he will lead his men and horses directly into Nixiao Pavilion and destroy their place. Although he also wants to do this, if it makes a big fuss, it will only affect his sister’s reputation. It’s better to endure it for now.
Bar.
"But... what should she do?" Jinxi asked weakly, pointing to the girl who had cried unconsciously in her arms, and the huge bundle in her arms.
"It's lost." Qi Chen walked towards the carriage without looking back.
Jin Xi looked at Qi Ke speechlessly, her eyes indicating: Is it really lost?
"Alas!" Qi Ke sighed, shook his head, squatted down, and picked up the girl who was half lying in Jinxi's arms, "Let's go back home first." Since his sister took the risk to rescue him, he couldn't just watch it.
She passed out here.
Jinxi made a "V" sign for victory behind her back and followed Qi Ke with a smile.

"I heard that the prince took you out of the palace yesterday?" Early the next morning, Yinzhen came to Qianqing Palace to pay his respects as usual. When Kangxi rarely put down the memorial in his hand, he walked around the dragon case and asked with great interest
Asked a few little ones.
"Yes, Emperor Ama." The first one to answer was Yinsi. Because the others were angry with the prince and did not want to say good things for him.
"Oh, where did you play?" Kangxi glanced at Yinzhen, who was standing quietly beside him, with a half-smile, and continued to ask.
"There are many places to eat, drink, play, and even lion dance..." Yinhu said softly and softly.
"Yinzhen, the eighth prince is still young and I don't think he can express himself clearly. Please tell me where the prince took you to play?" Kangxi turned to look at Yinzhen, with a smile of unknown meaning flashing in his eyes.
"Back to Emperor Ama, the prince was temporarily busy and did not take his children and ministers to play." Yinzhen pointed out this fact with a deadpan expression on his face like Qi Ying.
Since Kangxi asked about this matter, he thought he already knew something, and it would be useless for him to hide it. It would be better to simply report the truth. With Qi Ying here, he did not worry about the prince taking revenge on him in private.
This must be the cleverness of Kangxi. From the time the princes were born, he placed a personal guard around them who was highly skilled in martial arts but never appeared in front of others, to prevent the princes from being framed by each other.
"Yes." Kangxi nodded, slowly walked back to the dragon chair, sipped the tea, and then said: "I heard that you had a lot of fun yesterday, so it's good to go to the private sector when you have time, just don't miss out on your homework.
Yinzhen stays, and the rest go back. Don’t forget to visit the Queen Mother when you have time."
"I obey the decree!" Except for the prince, all the other brothers came to the scene and knelt down in unison. Yinzhen was left behind, still kneeling in front of the case.
"Get up." Kangxi waved his hand and pointed to the chair below, "Sit down and talk."
Yinzhen sat down as instructed.
"Do you know where the prince went yesterday?" Kangxi glanced at him and saw that he was still dealing with it calmly, without any nervousness, and he felt approving.
"I don't know." He really didn't know.
"But I heard that the prince has the best friendship with you. You really don't know?" Kangxi lowered his head and took a sip of tea and asked leisurely.
Hearing this, Yinzhen looked up at Kangxi and explained seriously: "Huang Ama, Yinzhen and his second brother don't see each other once in ten days. Instead, they get along with their fifth and ninth brothers every day." The implication is that he
His friendship with the prince was not as good as that of Yinzhen and Yinzhen.
"Haha... Yinzhen, I can see how smart and witty you are. The Taifu has mentioned it to me several times, saying that although you are young, you are mature in mind and calm in temperament. I still don't believe it after hearing this. I miss you, the prince, my eldest brother.
, Third brother, I am several years older than you, how can I be inferior to you. However, it seems now..." It is indeed interesting. Kangxi smiled and nodded, making Yinzhen speechless for a while. After doing this for a long time, was he testing himself?!
"Huang Ama..." Yinzhen called weakly, trying to brush off Kangxi's good impression of him so that he could continue to be his comfortable fourth prince. "The Taifu exaggerated. Yinzhen's outstanding aspects happened to be
The Tutor noticed..." He was only eight years old, and he didn't want to be discovered by Kangxi so early. A lot of work has not yet been started. Once he attracts attention, he will be targeted to death.
"Alas... you are a humble person. If he were the prince..." Kangxi paused and did not continue. In the final analysis, his legitimate son with Queen Hesheli was spoiled by himself.
If he had not taken him with him from the beginning, but lived simply and disciplined him strictly like other brothers... I guess he would have been a humble and steady prince...
Yinzhen came out of Qianqing Palace and walked slowly along the palace road to Dongsan residence where he lived. Kangxi's last secret order echoed in his mind: "Yinzhen, I order you to investigate all the prince's whereabouts outside the palace.
Only you and I know about this matter. If a third person knows about it, I will only ask you."
Ha...the third person...did he forget about the secret guards? Even if Qi Ying could not enter the Qianqing Palace, he believed that Kangxi's secret guards would be in the Qianqing Palace to protect him. Or, for Kangxi, the secret guards were
The guards are no longer in the ranks of humans? So, does it mean that he can also use Qiying's skills to accomplish things that he is currently unable to accomplish?
