Princess Changle exclaimed: "Don't you want Hongxing to cheat on you?"
Princess Chengyang's fair face suddenly turned red, she glared at her sister and said angrily: "What are you talking about? Although I don't dare to call myself a chaste and martyr woman, I definitely can't do such a thing. It's just a temporary wish.
I just said what I felt casually, my sister really hates it."
Unexpectedly, it would have been better not to say this. As soon as she said it, Princess Changle suddenly turned cold and pinched her unceremoniously. She picked her up and said displeasedly: "Okay, you will be the chaste and martyr Yu Jie Bingqing."
, but you want to advise me to enjoy myself as soon as possible and not to regret it, what kind of peace of mind do you have?"
Princess Chengyang was stunned for a moment, then panicked, and hurriedly defended: "Sister, don't be upset, I didn't mean it like that, I just... oh, how could I be like that?"
She was a thin-skinned person, so she only talked more in front of her biological sister, but she was still worried about being misunderstood by Princess Changle. Her pretty face was flushed, and there were tears in her eyes.
Princess Changle originally thought of teasing her, but when she saw her expression, her heart softened. She put her arms around her sharp shoulders and comforted her softly: "Sister, it's just a joke. Why should you take it seriously? You have such a temper.
Ah, to say it sounds good is to be arrogant and arrogant, to say that it sounds bad is just a stubborn thing, too simple, I really don’t know what to do if I am wronged in the future.”
There is something else that I haven’t said yet, and that is that Du He’s careless and heartless nature will definitely make his sister suffer. But the water thrown by the married daughter will not be good even for her father and brother.
After all, let alone her sister?
Although the princesses of the Tang Dynasty were not like the princesses of the Han Dynasty who had to marry away their relatives to barbarians for the sake of border security, in order to consolidate the throne, win over powerful ministers, and eliminate the fighting among the various factions in the dynasty, the father treated his daughters like goods.
Send, except for the fact that Princess Gaoyang unexpectedly encountered Fang Jun's drastic change in personality and the prodigal son returned, and the couple's life was relatively happy, the rest were far from satisfactory.
With Princess Chengyang's temperament, it would be better if she married a child of a noble family who is as gentle as jade and knows both coldness and warmth. A dandy and vulgar man like Du He is doomed to suffer misery and grievance...

Zhao Guogong Mansion.
Now is the autumn harvest, and everything inside and outside Guanzhong is bustling, but the entire Zhao Guogong Mansion is shrouded in a gloomy atmosphere. The maids and servants are trying to be careful when coming in and out, so as not to make too much noise, so as not to cause trouble.
necessary punishment.
During the autumn harvest, the whole country is busy, especially outside the Guanzhong this year. The weather is good in Henan and Hebei and the grain harvest is good. Every household is busy and smiling. However, the eldest son's family is a bit thin due to the repeated losses of children in the family. There is no man who can handle the family affairs.
There are not many of you, and you are quite depressed as your family is in decline...
In the study room, Changsun Wuji was wearing regular clothes, with a round face that looked a little tired, but still kept his spirits up, and smiled forcefully with the middle-aged man in military uniform across from him: "Da Lang is transferred back to Guanzhong this time and serves as the guard general of Tongguan. It's really good."
This is gratifying and congratulatory. The Qiu family is small, so you should have the courage to take on the responsibility and shoulder the family business that has been passed down by the Qiu family for generations, so that the soul of Mr. Qiu can rest in peace in heaven."
This middle-aged man is not tall, but he is stocky and stocky. He has a square face full of flesh, eyebrows, triangular eyes, and a flat nose. He has a fierce and wild temperament when he looks at him. He is the eldest son and grandson of the third generation of the Qiu family.
Qiu Yingqi.
His father, Master Qiu, was the former chief steward of Jiaozhou in the Sui Dynasty, the eldest son of Tan Guogong Qiu He, and the eldest brother of Qiu Xinggong. Unfortunately, he died of illness in his early years, leaving behind two sons, Qiu Yingqi and Qiu Shenyan, who were young at the time.
Since he was young and had done nothing, the Qiu family's house would have declined, and Qiu Xinggong's house would have taken its place and become the resting place of the Qiu family.
The two brothers Qiu Yingqi joined the army when they were young, and each served as a school captain in the local Zhechong Prefecture. They have been experienced for many years. Now that Qiu Yingqi has passed the age, he only served as the school captain of Guoyi, and his uncle Qiu Xinggong did not give much help.
The little bits and pieces within a big family are really not enough for outsiders to understand...
This time, it was Changsun Wuji who single-handedly transferred Qiu Yingqi from the Zhechong Prefecture in the local state capital to Guanzhong and entrusted him with the post of general of customs clearance. Changsun was able to do this when the entire military department was almost covered by Fang Jun.
Qiu Yingqi was fully aware of the effort and price Wuji had put in, and was even more grateful.
Although he knew very well that Changsun Wuji had no good intentions, he was still happy with it.
After all, for a soldier, it is extremely difficult to complete the process of being transferred from the local state capital Zhechong to the capital of Guanzhong. Regardless of Changsun Wuji's purpose, he has to accept this favor.
"I would like to thank my uncle for your support. My nephew will die for him without any hesitation."
Changsun Wuji laughed, waved his hand and said: "You and I are family friends. If you call me uncle, we are one family. Why should you be so polite? The Qiu family is full of loyal and brave people, and they should not hesitate to go to Zhechong Mansion School.
A position like a lieutenant should be given a higher level, serve the country, and serve the country with all loyalty."
Qiu Yingqi said respectfully: "Thank you for your uncle's teaching. My nephew will keep it in mind and will not dare to forget it. As long as my uncle has instructions, I will go through fire and water. My nephew will never hesitate."
Fucking family friend!
Who in the world doesn't know that the Qiu family and the Gao family are family friends? It was this "yin man" who secretly instigated that caused his uncle Qiu Xinggong to be blinded for a while, break with Gao Shilian and join Changsun Wuji. As a result,
After Changsun Wuji took advantage of the Qiu family, he turned ruthless and kicked him aside. As a result, Qiu Xinggong was accused by thousands of people and his reputation was ruined in one day.
This time he transferred himself from the local state capital to Guanzhong and entrusted him with the important task of guarding the customs clearance. He must have wanted to use himself to do something shameful for him.
But he didn't care.
In this world, everything that goes around and around in the end is all about profit. People die for money and birds die for food. Behind all fame and wealth means compromise and struggle. Being used by others is not a bad thing. On the contrary, it is only you who
Only with ability can you be exploited. Who would be willing to exploit you if you are a waste?
As long as it is in his own interests, he doesn't mind doing things for Changsun Wuji. What's the harm in killing people and setting fires? Even though the Guanlong nobles are declining day by day, a skinny camel is bigger than a horse. The heritage of hundreds of years is here.
You can always protect yourself.
Changsun Wuji pointed to the tea cup on the coffee table in front of him with a smile: "Come, come, let's talk slowly, my dear nephew drinks tea."
"Thank you uncle."
Qiu Ying thanked him, picked up the teacup, took a sip, and then put it down again. He sat upright with bright eyes, waiting for Changsun Wuji to make his request.
Changsun Wuji nodded slightly and said in appreciation: "As expected of a descendant of the Qiu family, he is brave, fearless, upright and selfless, and will always be a soldier who is upright, fierce and courageous! In this case, I will not beat around the bush. This time I have recalled my nephew to the capital.
It is a difficult matter, and I would like to entrust my nephew to handle it."
Qiu Yingqi said: "My uncle has given me too much praise, but my nephew is not worthy of it. Whatever it is, you can speak out and speak out. As long as my nephew can handle it, I will never refuse!"
"Okay, happy!"
Changsun Wuji praised him and then said slowly: "My good nephew has been working in the local government in recent years. Have you ever heard of Fang Jun?"
"nature."
Qiu Yingqi sighed and said: "The second son of the Prime Minister, the son-in-law of His Majesty's Dongfang Kuai, was already the Minister of the Ministry of War at a young age. The Duke of Yue is my nephew's immediate boss, and it is said that he is the most outstanding poet and the most brave man in the world.
Sanjun, my nephew also met him several times when he was young, how could he not know?"
Changsun Wuji held the tea cup and slowly drank the tea with drooped eyelids. After a long time, he put down the tea cup, looked at Qiu Yingqi with a half-smile, and said, "I have a good nephew who I haven't mentioned yet. Qiu Shenji's death was due to his wife."
Jun's actions, the blood feud between the Qiu family and Fang Jun, how can we take it lightly?"
Qiu Yingqi was silent for a while, then said: "What my uncle said is true."
There is no harmony within the Qiu family, and the feud between uncles and nephews due to the competition for the position of head of the family has always been good. However, the relationship between brother Qiu Yingqi and his cousin Qiu Shenji has always been good, and everyone is probably indifferent.
He is jealous and has a ruthless temper, so he is particularly attracted to him.
When Qiu Shenji died violently, Qiu Yingqi also returned to Chang'an to meet his uncle Qiu Xinggong, but was told by Qiu Xinggong that he was responsible for everything and would pay with blood. There was no need for Qiu Yingqi and other juniors to get too involved. In fact, he was also protecting
After all, Fang Jun's background is too strong. Once Fang Jun makes a mistake, the murderer will definitely not be able to protect him.
However, at this time, Changsun Wuji suddenly mentioned Fang Jun. No matter how vulgar and reckless Qiu Yingqi was, he knew that there must be some hidden agenda, so he avoided it.
But he didn't want Changsun Wuji to just go straight to the point and make it inevitable for him to avoid it.
