"Well……"
"Madam, what are you doing?"
After all, they had been married for many years. Although Qi Guogong failed to notice his wife's abnormality at the first time, he was still extremely sensitive to "some kind of danger" developed over the years.
But after being stared at by Princess Pingning for a while longer, Duke Qi immediately noticed something was wrong!
"Madam, you...what are you doing?"
Duke Qi tilted his head warily and asked in a low voice.
"What were you talking about just now?"
Princess Pingning responded with a sharp look, and her words made her feel like she was drawing a sword out of its sheath.
"ah?"
"No...nothing..."
Duke Qi looked panicked, but suddenly remembered what he had just done.
"Oops!"
Duke Guo of Qi was secretly annoyed: "How could I say this in front of my wife!"
"I'm so stupid!"
At this time, the Duke of Qi regretted his mistake and wished he could give himself a big mouth in public!
However, under the sharp eyes of Princess Pingning, what can Duke Qi do?
It's just helplessness and skillful shirk.
Even though he had experienced this kind of scene countless times, Qi Guogong was still a little scared. He swallowed nervously and opened his mouth stammering.
"me……"
"I... aren't you talking about this kid Heng'er!"
"He He!"
"It's wrong for this kid to do this!"
The old Duke rolled his eyes and immediately thought of a reason to get away with it!
The old Duke transformed into a messenger of justice, and from the standpoint of Princess Pingning, he severely criticized Qi Heng!
"Why does this child know so little about propriety?"
"He doesn't even think about his own identity. How can he fall in love with a daughter of a low-ranking official casually?"
While Duke Guo of Qi looked at his wife's expression, he continued to work hard to please: "This child!"
"When he comes back, I will definitely teach him a lesson!"
"Let him realize his mistake deeply!"
"Madam, tell me, right?"
Seeing Qi Guogong licking his old face to please him, Princess Pingning finally vented some of her anger.
"Okay, don't pretend like this in front of me!"
Princess Pingning, whose mood had calmed down a bit, gave Qi Guogong a fierce look and said bluntly: "In front of Heng'er, when was it that I didn't play the red face and you played the bad side?"
"If you really want to take action against this child, why don't you let me do it in the end?"
"hey-hey!"
Duke Guo of Qi also knew that he was in the wrong, so he hurriedly came to Princess Pingning's side and said with an apologetic smile: "Madam, aren't you the more powerful person in this family?"
"I really can't do anything to Heng'er!"
Because Qi Heng is the only son of Duke Qi, the Duke of Qi, who is majestic outside, is a truly loving father at home.
Regarding Qi Heng, Qi Guogong was really helpless and couldn't take action!
After all, Qi Heng is a very well-behaved kid who never makes anyone angry.
"snort!"
Princess Pingning turned her head and stopped talking to Duke Qi.
She pulled up the curtain in the carriage and looked outside through the window.
What he looked at was the Sheng family's motorcade.
…
After Qi Heng got out of the car, he immediately walked towards Minglan, oh, no!
This is where Sheng Changbai is.
However, when passing by the Sheng family's carriage, Qi Heng still bowed to Sheng Hong and his wife as a sign of courtesy.
After receiving nods from Sheng Hong, Mrs. Wang and others, Qi Heng took a few steps and quickly came to Sheng Changbai.
…
"Oh, sir, what a pity for Young Master Qi!"
Mrs. Wang stood next to Sheng Hong and said from ear to ear: "I really didn't expect that in this exam, among the disciples of Mr. Zhuang, my father, Baizhong, was the only one to win!"
Because the Sheng family had sent out their servants early to seize the opportunity and read all the lists, they also knew that the only person in the Sheng family school who had made the list this time was Sheng Changbai.
"Shut up!"
Sheng Hong glanced at his wife with a headache and whispered, "What do you know?"
"At this time, we have to keep a low profile!"
"How could you say such a thing?"
"Could it be that you want to take revenge on Changbai?"
"Huh? No, it's not..."
Madam Wang was immediately silenced by Sheng Hong!
…
"Zicheng, congratulations!"
Because it was not a formal occasion, the names between Qi Heng, Sheng Changbai and others were a bit casual, so he simply called him Sheng Changbai.
"Yuan Ruo, are you here?"
Seeing Qi Heng, Sheng Changbai's expression also changed, with some joy on his face.
After all, Sheng Changbai is just an ordinary person of flesh and blood. Even if he is a bit old-fashioned, he is still willing to share his joy with his friends.
However, due to personality issues, he just nodded to Qi Heng, but made no other movements, let alone a smile.
However, it doesn't matter, because Qi Heng understands him.
"Zicheng, if your family is going to hold a banquet, you must invite me!"
Qi Heng joked to Sheng Changbai with some bitterness: "Otherwise, as a classmate, I wouldn't be able to obey!"
"Yuan Ruo!"
Seeing Qi Heng's strange behavior, Sheng Changbai frowned, as if he had noticed something.
"you?"
"hehe!"
Qi Heng smiled bitterly and nodded to Sheng Changbai.
"Zicheng, this time... I missed!"
"Yuanruo, you..."
Sheng Changbai's face darkened, and he felt sorry for his friend!
After all, judging from Qi Heng's knowledge, if it weren't for the wrong intention of his policy, he wouldn't have failed like this!
"Yuanruo, actually you don't have to be like this!"
Sheng Changbai tried hard to search for the pitiful comforting skills in his mind, and said dryly: "After all, you are still young, even if you take the next exam, it is not too late!"
Because Qi Heng is the same age as Sheng Changfeng, but the month is earlier, and he is only sixteen years old now. As Sheng Changbai said, it is not too late.
However, there is naturally a deeper reason why Qi Heng is so disappointed.
At this moment, he had a bitter look on his face, and there were a thousand kinds of tenderness and sorrow in his heart!
Qi Heng looked behind Sheng Changbai, his face gloomy.
As for why he wanted to look at that position?
That was naturally because standing behind Sheng Changbai were Ru Lan and Ming Lan.
Of course, Minglan is the key point.
As for who is between the sisters Sheng Changbai and Minglan?
You don’t have to look at it to know it!
After all, the person who deliberately straightened his back and covered Minglan behind was naturally Sheng Changquan.
"Little father-in-law!"
Sheng Changquan followed Sheng Changbai's example and said to Qi Heng without a smile.
"Chang Quan, Zicheng and I have known each other for many years, and we have been classmates with you for several years. You don't have to do this, just call me brother!"
Qi Heng was trying hard to close the distance between himself and Sheng Changquan, and said this deliberately.
but.
"No!"
Sheng Changquan shook his head stubbornly, pretended to be polite, and said loudly: "Young Master, etiquette must not be broken!"
"What's more, Chang Quan hasn't achieved any fame yet, but he doesn't dare to be presumptuous!"
Although Sheng Changquan passed the Tongsheng Examination, in the eyes of the world and the court, only scholars were the lowest step in the imperial examination!
As for Tongsheng, that is just the lowest foundation.
So, it’s nothing!
"Changquan, you..."
After being unable to pass Sheng Changquan's test for a long time, Qi Heng suddenly became a little anxious!
"Ahem..."
Seeing that something was wrong in the atmosphere, Sheng Changbai immediately spoke to interrupt the awkwardness.
"Xiaoqi!"
Sheng Changbai turned around and winked at Sheng Changquan, signaling him to stop talking!
Although Sheng Changbai didn't know what was going on between Qi Heng and Minglan, he knew that Sheng Changquan's attitude towards Qi Heng had always been like this. However, the current situation was special, and Sheng Changquan still needed to accommodate Qi Heng.
"yes!"
Seeing the look in his eldest brother's eyes, Sheng Changquan could only nod silently.
Although Sheng Changquan was not optimistic about the outcome between Qi Heng and his sister, because of how well Qi Heng had taken care of him in the past, and because he would fail again this time, Sheng Changquan simply closed his mouth in the end. One eye.
As for why he said he closed one eye, it was naturally because he wanted to "turn a blind eye"!
…
the other side.
"Here, what Heng'er is interested in is actually a girl from brother Xiu Jin's family?"
The Duke of Qi was a little surprised, and then suddenly realized.
"That's right, Heng'er can only come into contact with these girls from the Sheng family."
"It's just that I don't know which girl Heng'er is interested in?"
"Is it the girl in the goose-yellow dress, or this aqua girl?"
Duke Guo of Qi hid in the carriage, guessing with interest.
"snort!"
At this time, Princess Pingning sneered: "No girl can do it!"
"ah?"
Duke Qi frowned!
"Madam, what do you want to do?"
"Do you want Heng'er to be like me and only stay with one person for the rest of your life?"
Duke Qi was so excited that he accidentally spoke out what was in his heart.
"Um?"
Princess Pingning slowly narrowed her eyes and said with a dangerous expression: "Why, are you feeling wronged by guarding me?"
"Or maybe you, old man, have something in mind that you shouldn't have?"
"Want to carry someone into our house?"
"Um?"
Princess Pingning was so powerful that she grabbed the ear of Duke Qi!
In fact, it was in this sealed carriage that Princess Pingning made such a move.
Otherwise, it would be impossible for her to do such an outrageous thing as she has been accustomed to the manners of the palace since she was a child.
However, this also shows the anger in Princess Pingning's heart at this time!
"Hey! Hey! Stop it! Stop it!"
Duke Qi lowered his voice and begged for mercy in a low voice: "Madam, madam, stop it!"
He was really afraid of hurting his tigress. Even now, Duke Qi was unwilling to fight back.
You know, the concept of this world is still that men are superior to women. Even if Qi Guogong gives Princess Pingning a fat beating and then makes trouble in the palace, the queen in the palace will not be able to say anything. !
"snort!"
After being annoyed for a while, Princess Pingning also stopped.
"Madam, don't you hope that Heng'er can have more children under his knees so that we can also enjoy the happiness of a family?"
Qi Guogong rubbed his red ears and complained secretly.
"Humph, what do you know?"
Princess Pingning glanced at the grinning Duke of Qi next to her, and said coldly: "Is Heng'er the kind of person who likes women?"
Princess Pingning naturally knew the meaning of Qi Guogong's words, but she just wanted her to agree to Qi Heng's acceptance of the girl from the Sheng family.
However, you can enter, but only after Qi Heng officially says goodbye!
In other words, the girl from the Sheng family must be Qi Heng's concubine!
"Huh? Madam, what do you mean?"
Duke Guo of Qi also noticed something was wrong, frowned and asked, "Is there anything wrong in this?"
"Ah!"
Princess Pingning glanced at Qi Heng outside and said quietly: "What your good son wants to do now is to get married officially!"
"Marry a girl from the Sheng family and become the eldest wife of the Duke of Qi!"
"What?"
Hearing this, Qi Guogong's expression darkened involuntarily.
"This is not okay!"
"Heng'er's eldest wife must be helpful to his future career, and we can't choose Xiu Jin's family!"
Although Qi Guogong spoke highly of Sheng Hong, when it came to the Qi family's century-old plan, he still disliked him.
"Yes, I think so too!"
Princess Pingning looked at Qi Guogong, nodded, and expressed her opinion: "Heng'er will never be allowed to do anything wrong in this matter!"
"That's right!"
Duke Qi asked hesitantly: "But, madam, you also know what Heng'er's temper is like!"
"Right now, he will fail again. If he takes action directly, I'm afraid it will hinder his health!"
The Duke of Qi said worriedly: "Madam, how are you going to get rid of Heng'er's thoughts?"
"We can't let him..."
Before Qi Guogong finished speaking, Princess Pingning waved her fan and said in a cold tone: "Don't worry!"
"When the time comes, I will have my own way!"
…
In front of Donghua Gate, many frustrated people are lingering in front of the list.
Among them, the second son of the Ningyuan Hou Mansion, Gu Tingye, was also standing inside.
"Master!"
Beside Gu Tingye, his long-term follower Shitou looked at him with worry!
Shitou's body was tense, as if he was preparing to support Gu Tingye when he became unstable.
"Second brother!"
Just as the atmosphere between the two became increasingly tense, Shitou suddenly heard a familiar voice coming from behind.
He looked back!
It's Gu Tingwei!
Gu Tingwei is the half-brother of Gu Tingye and the biological son of Qin, the current head of Ningyuan House.
"Master, the third master is here!"
Shitou also knew the situation of his young master in Ningyuan Houli, so when he saw Gu Tingwei, Shitou immediately said "warning".
"Ting Wei?"
Hearing this name, Gu Tingye finally had some reaction.
"Go! Stone!"
Gu Tingye didn't care about Gu Tingwei, who was running towards him in the distance, but his face suddenly darkened, and then he said something directly to the stone.
"Let's go back!"
For some reason, Gu Tingye had already fallen out with Ningyuan Houfu and lived alone outside.
