After the child's mind was read, the tyrant caught the male queen with a black face

System: [This kid is smart. He knows that the Fourth Prince's Mansion is in an awkward situation. He is too young to resist the steward of the Fourth Prince's Mansion. This kid carefully observes the time and route of the old concubine's visit, and then finds the right time to play the victim, so that he can get the old concubine to help.]

Yuanruan: [Wow, I didn't expect that the Toffee would be fooled. ]

System: [The Concubine was not fooled. After a few days, she realized that the boy had deliberately staked her out. But after realizing it, the Concubine appreciated him even more. It says here that the Concubine thinks that the men in the three palaces are useless, and hopes that the young man can take charge of two palaces.]

Qi Kuan's usually gentle expression changed, and disbelief flashed in his eyes.

The Third Prince’s pupils trembled:!!!

What? Two houses on one shoulder?

Mother, how could you have such thoughts?! But I have a son! You have a grandson!

……

At this time, another voice came from outside the door: "Grandma".

Yuan Ruan leaned over to take a look, and saw a young man who was yawning continuously and had dark circles under his eyes as if he had put on smoky makeup walking in.

The man bowed to the old empress dowager and the third prince in turn, but ignored Yuan Ruan.

At this time, Qi Kuan whispered, "Brother, this is the Great Xia State Master, the Ninth Princess. Even my father is very respectful."

The man said with some dissatisfaction: "The Dali Temple Secretary is only a fifth-rank official, and he's already showing off to us..."

"Bang! You bastard!" The concubine poked the crutch fiercely and glared, "You concealed your brother's affairs and now you dare to embarrass Kuan'er. Who gave you this burden? "

The man with dark circles under his eyes said nervously, "Grandma, I don't know about my brother's affairs..."

"You don't know shit. Your brother has already told you and even gave you no less than five thousand gold coins to keep quiet. Is your sister-in-law's safety worth five thousand gold coins? You idiot!"

The concubine became angrier and angrier as she spoke. She picked up her cane and pointed it at the other party, "You, your brother, and you!" The concubine pointed her hand at the Third Prince fiercely, "You three are bastards! None of you are a good person!"

The Third Prince didn't dare to say a word and nodded submissively.

The man with dark circles under his eyes said dissatisfiedly: "Grandma, you are partial to him, so we... Ouch, ouch... Grandma, please stop hitting me, please stop hitting me!"

Yuan Ruan watched the man with dark circles under his eyes running in front, and the old concubine chased him and beat him with her cane "dong dong dong". The Third Prince and Qi Kuan waited silently on the side, but once they saw that the man with dark circles under his eyes ran faster, the old concubine could hardly catch up.

The two men, one tripped the other with his foot and the other pulled him with his hand, making sure that the other could continue to accept the iron stick loved by the old concubine. This was until the man with black eye circles apologized with a swollen face and bowed and left.

Yuan Ruan sighed: [The Concubine is full of martial virtue. 】

System: [This is much more interesting than the shady dealings in the palace.]

Yuan Ruan nodded repeatedly: [Yes, yes, yes. Tong'er, this is the other son of the Third Prince? The Third Prince has no other sons?]

System: [Yes. 】

Yuan Ruan: [Wow, I can understand why the Concubine wants to choose another relative's child to take charge of two houses. ]

System: [Haha, yes, it’s written on the melon that the Concubine Dowager thinks that the Third Prince’s two sons are too rubbish. Not only will they not be able to help the Third Prince in the future, they will not be able to provide for his retirement, and may even cause trouble. That’s why she wants the reliable Qi Kuan to come and take charge of both houses, help her guard the Third Prince’s Mansion, and let her sons live happily for the rest of their lives.]

The Third Prince choked up when he heard this, and his eyes were almost filled with tears.

A look of understanding and a hint of envy flashed across Qi Kuan's face.

Yuan Ruan was so envious when he heard this: [I am really impressed. After hearing so much gossip, the one I envy the most is the Third Prince. What kind of shit luck did he have in his previous life! He met such a good mother. ]

System: [Yes. The Concubine Dowager truly loves the Third Prince.]

The concubine felt a little awkward when she heard this, and rushed forward with Yuan Ruan in her arms. The Third Prince and Qi Kuan almost didn't catch up.

The concubine took Yuan Ruan and galloped around the inner courtyard twice.

After a while, the concubine turned her head in confusion and asked, "Where did those little monkeys go? Why is it so quiet today?"

The trusted nanny quickly bowed and said, "My lord, the eldest princess and the second princess have hosted a banquet to invite the ladies of all families and young talents to the second princess's mansion to enjoy the lotus and the lake. Several princesses have gone there."

Yuanruan: [Wow, female relatives and young talents, this is a blind date. ]

System: [Most likely.]

The concubine noticed that Yuan Ruan's eyes lit up, and said to Qi Kuan, "Kuan'er, did the princess invite you?"

Qi Kuan looked somewhat helpless, and said with a cupped hand: "Grandma, my grandson had already discussed marriage with Miss Li last month, and will come to propose marriage soon."

When Yuan Ruan heard the word "Li", he subconsciously said, "Prime Minister? Li, Prime Minister?"

Qi Kuan didn't expect Yuan Ruan to speak. He was stunned for a moment before he said, "That's right."

Yuanruan: [It's him again. As expected of Li Banchao, Banchao's father-in-law. Awesome.]

System: [Let me see, it won’t be like that soon. This marriage won’t be successful. In a few months, Prime Minister Li will come and cancel the engagement.]

Qi Kuan: !!!

The old concubine glared and subconsciously tightened her crutches.

Yuanruan: [Ah? Why? Did Qi Kuan have some dark history that was exposed? ]

System: [No, no, the reason is really the girl. Prime Minister Li often arranges his daughters to marry, and there are always a few rebellious ones among the more than 20 daughters. For example, the one who was engaged to Qi Kuan had already secretly married a young man from a tavern. Prime Minister Li originally wanted to forcibly break up the marriage, but he failed. The girl eloped and ran away. Prime Minister Li dared not say anything and came here shamelessly to cancel the engagement.]

Everyone:...

Qi Kuan's expression became a little unstable and he clenched his fists.

The concubine suddenly asked, "Could it be that your stepmother arranged a marriage for you?"

Qi Kuan forced a smile and said, "That's right."

"She is easily influenced by others and her brothers are greedy. I don't trust her. I need to observe this matter of life and death further." The concubine said quickly.

Qi Kuan nodded slightly.

The concubine added, "It just so happens that Kuan'er happened to be going to the princess banquet today."

Qi Kuan: ...

Yuan Ruan also liked to watch the fun, so she pulled Taifei: "Go, I want to go, I also want to go."

The concubine made the decision: "Then you all go together. Fortunately, there is a good grandson among us who will protect you and go with you, so that it will be more lively."

The Third Prince said hurriedly: "This is not good."

The little princess is the apple of her brother's eye. What if she encounters danger when she goes out?

"What's wrong with that? Do you still want to detain the little princess?" The concubine glanced at the third prince speechlessly.

"But..." The Third Prince wanted to say a few more words.

"Shut up."

The Third Prince choked.

The old concubine was too lazy to pay attention to her stupid son. She directly called her trusted nanny to dress up Qi Kuan and then sent them out.
