In order to avoid the suspicion of his brother, the seventh prince has lived in seclusion since childhood and knows very little about the outside world.
Hearing Xiao Zhuozi talking about Qin Feng's various behaviors, he couldn't help laughing. He just felt that this person was much more interesting than the interesting people described in the book.
The song "Out of the Fortress" made the seventh prince's blood boil. It broke the unwritten rule of officials protecting each other. The seventh prince admired him for his courage in confronting the disciples in the capital. The seventh prince was even more impressed by his verbal battle with the scholars in the court.
Now that this incident has come out, he is even more curious about Qin Feng.
Xiao Zhuozi was the best at figuring out what was going on. Seeing the longing in the eyes of the Seventh Prince, he quickly offered advice: "Your Highness, at the dinner stall today, I heard from the eunuch of the Ministry of Internal Affairs that in three days there will be a purification ceremony, and then Your Highness will You can go to supervise.”
Hearing this, the seventh prince's eyes lit up.
The purification ceremony is a necessary ceremony on the eve of a war. Although the scale is not as grand as the imperial sacrifice, the royal family members and the pillars of the country will all participate in the observation.
Qin Tianhu, as the Minister of War, is naturally indispensable, and Qin Feng will probably go with him.
When he thought about meeting Qin Feng, the seventh prince suddenly became very excited.
It's just that the cleaning ceremony is of great importance. There are many problems such as staffing, money consumption, etc.
I'm afraid that there will be a huge quarrel over this matter in the court...
The next morning, it was just dawn. Qin Tianhu, who had returned from the early morning, smashed several cups angrily.
Liu Hongyan came over after hearing the news. She wanted to say a few words of comfort, but she saw Qin Tianhu was silent and looked very ugly. She guessed that something had gone wrong with Chao Shang. Liu Hongyan thought for a while that only Qin Feng could help her father with suggestions at this time. After all, that guy had many clever ideas.
Liu Hongyan quickly went to the backyard and lifted the quilt.
Qin Feng, who was half asleep, thought it was Xiao Xiangxiang who was causing trouble, so he didn't open his eyes. He pulled the quilt with one hand and grabbed Liu Hongyan's wrist with the other, dragging him directly into the quilt, hugging her weak and boneless little body, lifting her up and down. Caress her for a while, then hit her mouth and continue to sleep.
Liu Hongyan's body seemed to be on fire, she was ashamed and angry, but her strength was too weak to resist Qin Feng, so she pinched her stomach hard.
Qin Feng couldn't bear the pain and woke up suddenly. He was stunned when he found that the person in front of him was not Xiao Xiangxiang but the second sister.
Then... he grinned and hugged her tighter.
Liu Hongyan's cheeks were red and bleeding, she gritted her teeth and said: "Let go quickly, what should you do if someone sees you!"
Qin Feng looked indifferent and said carelessly: "What are you afraid of? Isn't it a natural thing for siblings to sleep together? Besides, it's not me who gets into your bed, it's you who gets into mine."
Liu Hongyan was trembling with shame, and her voice was broken: "You... don't talk nonsense, who got under your bed, brat, I'm your sister, watch your words, if you dare to be too big or too small, I'll really beat you up .”
Liu Hongyan was busy arguing with Qin Feng. It wasn't until she felt her body being tightly surrounded by that strong and powerful chest that she realized something was wrong. Her heart was pounding, and she was so embarrassed that she wanted to find a crack in the ground to crawl in.
This soft figure is like a pillow, not to mention how comfortable it is. Qin Feng has a bad smile on his face: "Okay, okay, I understand. Just be careful when speaking in the future. Go to bed quickly. What time is it?" It’s not daylight yet.”
Liu Hongyan pinched Qin Feng's stomach again and became angry: "You damn thing, you only bully me all day long. Did I owe you in my previous life? Let go quickly... Don't sleep, go see your father, I guess. Chao Shang is angry, you are the only one in our Qin family who understands the matters in the court."
Upon hearing this, Qin Feng decisively let go of Liu Hongyan, but did not get out of bed. Instead, he turned over, curled up into a ball, and said vaguely: "Whoever wants to go, I won't go to that bad guy. If it doesn't work, let me." Lin Quqi goes, doesn't that guy like Lao Qin very much?"
Liu Hongyan sat up and kicked Qin Feng angrily: "Stop pushing away, let me ask you again, are you going?"
Qin Feng didn't even think about it: "I won't go! I'm very sleepy."
Liu Hongyan punched and kicked Qin Feng, but unfortunately the guy curled up into a ball, like a turtle, and couldn't do anything to him. In the end, there was no choice. Liu Hongyan had to change her approach and said with a blushing face: "If you are willing to go, I will tell you about the marriage. You are not young anymore. You can't mess around with the little maid all day long."
Qin Feng's heart skipped a beat, and he suddenly woke up. The second sister knew all about the "games" he played with Xiao Xiangxiang...
Could it be that the second sister has been monitoring me?
Qin Feng still couldn't get up, shook his body, and said wildly: "I don't want any marriage, I just want my sister! If my sister gets married in the future, she can only marry me!"
After finishing speaking, he muttered: "Anyway, half-father and half-mother, what are you afraid of..."
Liu Hongyan bit her thin lips lightly, her cheeks felt hot, and her mood was extremely strange. She couldn't tell whether she was ashamed or faintly happy, so she could only pretend to be angry: "It's up to you!"
After receiving Liu Hongyan's affirmative reply, Qin Feng got up with satisfaction, washed briefly, and walked to the hall. When he arrived, he found that Qin Tianhu was sulking alone, and the little maid serving next to him was extremely nervous and grand. Don't even dare to go out.
Qin Feng waved his hand, and the little maid burst into tears of gratitude and left as if running away.
There were two chairs placed in the north seat. Only the head of the family could sit on it. Qin Feng didn't care so much. He sat down next to it, grabbed an offering fruit from the table, gnawed it in big mouths, and said vaguely: "Let Let me guess."
"It's already dawn, and you've just come back. You've been in court for nearly two hours. You must have talked about something important. Apart from military preparations and logistics, the only thing that can make my father so angry is probably the Clothing Ceremony. ”
Although Qin Feng's "smartness" made Qin Tianhu feel a little relieved and even proud.
But as soon as the word "clothes cleansing ceremony" was mentioned, Qin Tianhu got very angry and smashed the brand new teacup that the maid had just replaced on the ground, like an enraged tiger: "This is unreasonable!"
"It would have been okay if we held a clothes purification ceremony in previous years. Now that the national treasury is tight and the government is in difficulty, what kind of clothes purification ceremony should be held? Isn't this adding chaos!"
As far as Qin Feng knows, the ritual of cleaning clothes has been around since ancient times, and it can be regarded as a "pre-war swearing-in meeting" in a sense.
Since ancient times, all generals who lead armies must burn incense to purify themselves before going to the battlefield. Firstly, they can show the majesty of the country. Secondly, if they die on the front line, they can die with a clean and majestic body. In this ritual of purifying clothes, saints and civil and military officials overrode the ministers who supervise the war. Secondly, some auxiliary generals were selected.
Since it is the selection of military commanders, competitions are indispensable.
And any activity involving saints will naturally involve spending money.
But obviously, money is only a small aspect.
What really makes Qin Tianhu angry is not just the money issue...
Qin Feng took a bite of the offering fruit and found it not tasty, so he threw it aside and picked up another one. As a result, Qin Tianhu's big palm sliced it away.
Fortunately, Qin Feng was used to fighting wits and courage with Comrade Lao Qin, and he reacted very quickly.
In just a few tenths of a second, Qin Feng immediately lowered his head to dodge, and then did not dodge... He was slapped by Qin Tianhu and fell to the ground. He grimaced in pain and did not bother to eat the fruit. He sat on the ground and kicked his legs, wailing. : "Isn't it just to eat a fruit? Is this really necessary?"
Qin Tianhu stared, furious: "If you have something to say, just say it, if you have something to say, just fart, don't make me upset here!"
Qin Feng sighed. Although he was very unhappy, who made this old guy his biological father?
He just sat cross-legged without getting up and continued:
"The Ministry of Rites is responsible for the Clothing Ceremony, but now that the treasury is empty, all procedures should be simplified and expenses saved. The reason why the Clothing Ceremony is held as scheduled must be influenced by the Ministry of Household Affairs, and my father is the leading minister in this battle, so he is naturally the top priority. , Hubu just wants to use this cleansing ceremony to discredit my father."
"In the final analysis, seeing that the war was inevitable, Hubu changed his strategic direction, from preventing the war to seizing the power to command the war."
"To put it bluntly, I want to kick my father out of the position of Minister of War Supervision, and then appoint an official from the household department to take up the position, right?"
