"Well, I originally thought that we could be as close as my grandfather and cousin, be kind to the emperor's brother, and protect me. It seems that the emperor's brother is overthinking it." Qin Heng said with some disappointment.
"Nonsense, they are the father-in-law and consort of the emperor's sister. You are my biological brother. How could I not be affectionate with you and protect you." At this time, Qin Shuning, who was in the midst of maternal love, saw his brother's appearance and suddenly It hurts like hell.
"Really? Sister Huang." Qin Heng raised his head, his eyes shining with joy, confirming expectantly.
"Of course it's true. You've been living in the palace before and haven't seen each other very often. In the future, if you communicate frequently, you won't be estranged." Qin Shuning gently rubbed his hair and answered firmly.
"That's good. This will make the emperor feel much better." Qin Heng's expression relaxed, as if a heavy burden had been lifted from his heart.
"Fool, if you have anything to say to the emperor in the future, there is the emperor." Qin Shuning breathed a sigh of relief when he saw this.
"Well, the emperor knows. Sister, you are so kind." Qin Heng endured the awkwardness in his heart and said disgusting words.
Those who achieve great things do not stick to trivial matters.
He comforted himself silently in his heart.
The siblings chatted until noon, before Qin Heng reluctantly stood up and said goodbye. After declining Wang Li's offer to stay, Qin Heng headed towards his mansion.
As soon as he left, Qin Shuning called Wang Baobao.
"What's going on between you and your father-in-law? Why did Heng'er say that you are not close to him and are a little cold?" Qin Shuning asked with a dissatisfied tone.
"Ah?" Wang Baobao looked confused. When did they stop being close to him and became a little cold.
"Ah what? Let me tell you, Wang Baobao, I am the only younger brother. If you treat him badly, I will never forgive you in this life." Qin Shuning felt more and more uncomfortable when she thought of what happened to her younger brother, and her tone became abnormal. severe.
"We really didn't. My father and I were treating each other with courtesy just now." Wang Baobao said with a sad face, and his mind could not react for a moment.
Why would they say they were cold to Qin Heng? The more he thought about it, the more aggrieved he became.
"Humph, you are relatives of the emperor, why don't you be more affectionate? Do you look down on my emperor's brother?" Qin Shuning's voice contained a hint of anger, and the dissatisfaction revealed in his words made Wang Baobao shrink involuntarily.
He felt like crying but had no tears in his heart. Qin Shuning had a noble status originally, but now that she was pregnant, his temperament and character were even more unpredictable to him.
For a moment, he was speechless and could only look at Qin Shuning with aggrieved eyes.
"Don't give me any grievance. My imperial brother is still aggrieved. He has difficulty moving. He braved the cold weather to come see me, and you still treat him like this."
"I don't care. Tomorrow you bring your father-in-law to visit me. You can't make Heng'er feel wronged. Otherwise, you won't be able to see the child in my belly." Qin Shuning looked at him like that, showing no sign of mercy at all, and said After he finished, he turned his head away with a cold face, as if he didn't want to look at him again.
Wang Baobao's lips moved slightly, and it took him a long time to hold back a sentence: "I understand, don't be angry, calm down, I will go find father right now."
After saying these words, Wang Baobao walked out helplessly.
Standing outside the door, he looked up at the dull sky and let out a long sigh: "Alas."
Qin Heng, who had returned to the house, naturally did not know Wang Baobao's tragic experience. He shook his head and looked at the book in his hand with relish.
【Tea Ceremony. 】
This book was written by him personally, and the content is based on his own personal experience.
The next day, as soon as Qin Heng picked up the book, Zhao Hu walked in from outside.
"Your Highness, Wang Li, the governor of Zhisu Nei, came to visit with his son."
"Oh, it's here so soon." Qin Heng was a little surprised. He didn't expect the imperial sister to be so capable.
That's right, seeing the reserved look of Wang Li and his son yesterday, he came up with this plan. He wanted to take a roundabout route and change from passive to active.
After all, he wasn't very sociable, and he didn't have much contact with Wang Li. There was a layer of window paper between them, so even if he wanted to chat, he couldn't.
So he approached Sister Huang and asked Wang Li and his son to take the initiative.
It seems that pillow wind is still effective. The ancients honestly did not deceive me!
With this thought in his mind, he waved his hand and told Zhao Hu: "Please come to the lobby quickly."
"promise."
Zhao Hu retreated in response.
Qin Heng raised the corners of his mouth and carefully put away the tea ceremony book.
When Qin Heng was pushed into the lobby by Ah Fu, Wang Li and his son were already waiting here.
Hearing the noise, the two of them turned their heads and saw him entering the lobby. They quickly stood up and saluted respectfully.
"Meet King Xiaoxian."
"Lord Wang, there is no need to be polite," Qin Heng waved his hand with a hint of apology on his face, "I was in a bad mood last night and had insomnia late at night, so I got up late today and kept Lord Wang waiting for a long time."
"Your Highness is too polite. It's because we, father and son, were rude." Hearing that Qin Heng had insomnia, Wang Li couldn't help but feel nervous and responded hurriedly.
In fact, Wang Baobao had been up all night since he came to see him yesterday.
It may be said that Qin Heng is young, but from the communication point of view, he did not find anything wrong with Qin Heng, and his words were polite and flawless.
However, if he is not young, he actually feels aggrieved by his restraint and even complains to the princess.
This made him, a high-ranking minister, unable to figure it out overnight.
There was no other way. He really couldn't stand his son's entanglement, so he had no choice but to bite the bullet early in the morning and came over without even sending a greeting card.
"Master Wang, why are you here today?" Qin Heng looked at the two of them pretending to be confused.
Wang Li put away his thoughts, put on a kind smile on his face, and said: "His Highness left in a hurry yesterday, and I did not have time to entertain and have a chat with His Highness, so today I have the audacity to come to visit His Highness."
"Mr. Wang, you are so polite. I really didn't want to nag Mr. Wang yesterday, so I came back early. I didn't expect that Mr. Wang would come here specially today." Qin Heng pretended to be unfamiliar and said politely.
It's over, he seems really angry.
Feeling the slight sense of distance, Wang Li's heart tightened and he hurriedly said: "Your Highness is joking. We are royal relatives and we are not in an ordinary relationship. How can we nag."
"I wish that Your Highness could stay longer at your residence."
Seeing Wang Li's appearance, Qin Heng secretly laughed in his heart, with a happy smile on his face, and asked: "Really?"
"Of course it is true. I wish I could have more intimacy with His Highness." Wang Li replied without thinking, his eyes full of sincerity.
Qin Heng suppressed the embarrassment in his heart, breathed a sigh of relief, and said, "I thought Master Wang was different from my grandfather, and he didn't like to interact with me too much."
"How could it be possible? Lord Liu and I are both royal relatives of His Highness. If he can do it, I can do it too."
As soon as Wang Li finished speaking, Qin Heng's eyes revealed a look of expectation and he asked: "Will Mr. Wang also protect and help the orphans like my grandfather did?"
