Then several people left Zhao Guogong's mansion, each got on the carriage, and headed to the palace.
On the carriage, Zhao Guogong asked Changsun Huan in detail what happened in the afternoon.
When Changsun Wuji learned that Yuechan, his sister's personal maid at the time, was following a young man whom Changsun Huan had never seen before, Changsun Wuji fell into deep thought.
I was thinking about whether this young man might be related to the person who advises His Majesty. Otherwise, why would my sister send her personal maid to accompany this young man when he goes shopping?
It's just that Changsun Wuji probably wanted to break his head, but he didn't expect that these strategies were thought up by this teenage boy.
Tai Chi Palace, Zheng Palace
Changsun Wuji took Changsun Huan into the Lizheng Hall and saw his sister sitting in the hall with a calm face. He knew that this time his sister was really angry.
He quickly took two steps and saluted:
"My lord, Sun Wuji, pays homage to the Queen. May your Majesty be safe."
After saying that, he even chatted and glanced at the eldest grandson Huan of the palace maid Yuechan.
Changsun Huan came back to his senses and said:
"My eldest nephew, Sun Huan, pays homage to my aunt. May my aunt be safe."
Queen Changsun looked at her brother and nephew, feeling angry and helpless.
She knew that her brother had outstanding talents, and she had been in the position of Minister of the Ministry of Civil Affairs for these years, and she felt unwilling to do so. However, she was a queen, and if her brother was in a high position, she would be in a high position.
In the future, it is possible that the foreign relatives will have serious troubles and arouse the suspicion of the court or the royal family. Which of the foreign relatives in the Han Dynasty will have a good outcome?
Therefore, she has been discouraging His Majesty from promoting her brother.
Her reason for this is more of hoping to preserve the Changsun family.
She even discussed with His Majesty in private to marry her legitimate daughter, Princess Changle, to the eldest grandson's family. In fact, all this was for the eldest grandson's family to prosper.
But today, Changsun Huan teased Xiao Changxi, the maid Qin Ming relied on, which made her a little angry.
Not to mention how much Qin Ming's strategy helped His Majesty and the court.
He only said that he had only known her for a few days, and without knowing his identity, he was still thinking about making clothes for himself.
It can be seen that Qin Ming, this child, really regards himself as filial to his elders, which makes Empress Changsun very moved, and she likes Qin Ming more and more.
These thoughts flashed through Changsun's mind. Queen Changsun looked at her brother and nephew who were bending down to salute and said:
"Brother, there is no need to be polite. I asked my brother to come so late today. I think he already knows the whole story, right?"
Changsun Wuji knew that since his sister specifically asked him to bring Changsun Huan into the palace, she must have wanted him to express his position and give Changsun Huan some punishment, so he said respectfully:
"Well, I already asked Huan'er what happened on the way. It was indeed Huan'er's fault."
"I will strictly discipline him when he returns home. He will be punished to stay at home and reflect on his mistakes, and he will copy the family rules a thousand times. I hope the empress can spare him this time."
After speaking, he bowed to Queen Changsun again.
Empress Changsun nodded when she heard this and said, "Yes, just follow what my brother said."
"You traitor, why don't you thank the Queen quickly?" Changsun Wuji said as he kicked his son.
Changsun Huan immediately knelt down in the tunnel and said:
"My nephew has realized his mistake. Thank you for your forgiveness, aunt."
"Well, get up."
After saying this, Queen Changsun looked at Changsun Wuji and said:
"Brother, this matter ends here. But if I let you hear about the disciples of the Changsun family again in the future."
"If you rely on your family's reputation outside, ignore national laws and family rules, act domineeringly, bully the people, and molest women from good families, this kind of scandal will never be tolerated by me."
After saying that, Queen Changsun raised her eyes and glanced at Changsun Huan.
Looking at his sister's sharp eyes, Changsun Wuji was also shocked.
I didn't expect that such a small thing would cause my sister to have such a big reaction.
At this time he could only respond:
"My lord, when you return, you must strictly control the younger generations of the family."
"Please rest assured, the queen, if any of the descendants of the eldest grandson family break the law or discipline again, I will punish them severely without mercy from the queen."
As soon as Changsun Huan stood up, he was glanced at by his aunt's sharp eyes. When he heard what his father said, he broke into a cold sweat on his back.
Seeing that the matter was settled, Queen Changsun said:
"Well, it's getting late. Brother, please go back with Huan'er. I have to go to the Manlu Palace in a while."
Changsun Wuji saw that his sister's eyes had softened and thought about it.
I didn't want to take my son directly and exit the hall, but asked:
"Your Majesty, the young man Huan'er met is from whose family he is?"
"Do you need me to bring this traitor to your door to apologize?"
Queen Changsun looked at her brother's expression and knew that he might have guessed something, but His Majesty didn't want to expose his identity to Qin Ming yet.
It was not convenient for her to tell her brother about Qin Ming's situation, but she could give him a little warning to avoid a situation like today's happening again.
She also planned to betroth Lixian to Qin Ming in the future, and naturally she didn't want Qin Ming to be at odds with the Changsun family. After thinking for a moment he said:
"He is not the son of any family. I can't tell you his identity. As long as I know, brother, he is related to the work-for-relief scheme."
"If we encounter each other in the future, even if we can't make friends, don't make enemies. As for making amends, there's no need."
Changsun Wuji realized that it was similar to his guess. After bowing, he took Changsun Huan out of the Lizheng Hall.
Although Changsun Huan was a playboy, he was not a fool. From his aunt's words, he could tell that the young man had no background.
I also began to secretly think about how to cause trouble for him in the future.
Queen Changsun and other brothers and Changsun Huan exited the hall. She then got up and took her maid with her to the palace to wash up.
It's just that Queen Changsun didn't know that what just happened in the hall was heard clearly by Princess Changle outside the hall.
After Princess Changle sent her three sisters back to the palace, she was worried that something might happen to her brother Qin Ming, so she secretly stood outside the Li Zheng Palace, waiting for her uncle to come.
After listening to the conversation in the palace, she was relieved to know that brother Qin Ming was fine.
She walked to her dormitory. As soon as she arrived at the door of her dormitory, a palace maid came to report that Princess Yuzhang was waiting for her in her dormitory.
She didn't know why her sister came to see her so late, so Princess Changle walked into the dormitory quickly and saw her sister, Princess Yuzhang, sitting on a chair in the hall holding tea, her legs dangling back and forth.
Princess Changle stepped forward and asked:
"Sister Xiyao, why didn't you go to bed? Do you have something to do with your sister?"
When Princess Yuzhang saw her sister coming back, she quickly jumped off the chair, walked to Changle and said with a smile:
"Fifth sister, you are back. Wasn't Xiyao sick a few days ago and didn't leave the palace with her sister?"
"I came today because I wanted to sleep with my sister and listen to what happened outside the palace. I hope it won't disturb the fifth sister's rest."
After saying that, he took Princess Changle's arm.
When Princess Changle heard this, she felt sorry for Yuzhang's sister. Not only did she not eat at Qin's house, but she also didn't have her sister's down jacket today for those delicious food and drinks.
So he took Princess Yuzhang's hand and held it in his own, saying:
"Well, okay, we haven't slept together in a long time."
With that said, he pulled Yuzhang into his bedroom.
As soon as Yuzhang entered the dormitory, he saw the "Inscription on the Humble Room" hanging on the wall next to Princess Changle's bed.
read unconsciously
"The mountain is not high, if there is an immortal, it will be famous; if the water is not deep, if there is a dragon, it will be spiritual..."
"On October 18th, the fifth year of Zhenguan, Qin Ming presented it to the eldest wife of the Li family."
Princess Yuzhang has been studying in the Imperial Palace with her brothers and sisters since she was a child. She is also smart and has good literary accomplishment.
After reading this inscription, it is as if I have seen a young man with noble moral character and elegant demeanor living in seclusion in the mountains. I also yearn for the life described in the inscription.
I hope that one day I can meet the brother Qin Ming that the fifth sister mentioned, and then I will ask him for a painting to hang in my bedroom.
Princess Changle, who was listening to her sister reciting the inscription, her thoughts suddenly seemed to return to Qin Ming's brother's study, where she saw him chatting and laughing with his father, the emperor and his mother.
However, when Qin Ming's signature was read out by her sister, Princess Changle came back to her senses instantly. She couldn't help but blush, patted Yu Zhang on the shoulder and said:
"Sister, why did you also read out the signature?"
Princess Yuzhang looked at the fifth sister with a slightly teasing look, and then said with a smile:
"Fifth sister, why are you blushing? You must have fallen in love with the signed brother Qin Ming, right?"
