go away!Don't attack me!
Chapter 49
It is not difficult to grow vegetables, but the difficulty is to bring in the hot spring water and use it reasonably.
Yun Qi drew the blueprints and directed them on the spot. Everyone worked together, and only at night did they dig through the two main canals.
Continue the next morning.
In the middle of the morning, the butler hurried over and said, "My lord, the son of the eldest princess's mansion outside brought dozens of guards.
Wei Jiading came over and yelled outside, saying that if you don't go out, he will have people smash this Qiyunju. "
Yun Qi let out an "ah", a little unbelievable, at this moment, someone actually smashed on his door?
Although he didn't see the end of what happened at Kudu Temple that day, he knew the general process. He had a good impression of Her Royal Highness the Princess who presided over the matter. She was a woman who was more majestic than a man. Kind of goofy?
Stupid is stupid, but not cute, or, in Yun Qi's eyes, the words completely and cute have nothing to do with each other.
Such a person, who can handle it, may feel that he is frank and straightforward, but those who cannot handle it will have to be bullied and humiliated by him for nothing.
Yun Qi has always preferred to like a hypocrite than this kind of real villain.
He said casually, "Shouting twice at the door, and it's not against the law, what should I do with him?"
The butler said anxiously: "If you ignore him, he will really screw up! Young master, you are new to the capital, and you don't know this master's temper. He is the most restless, and when his temper comes up, he doesn't even care about it. ...He said he was going to smash the garden, but he really knew how to do it!"
Yun Qi said "hmm": "Then let's talk about it after he smashes it!"
Why ignore him?It's easy to clean up after smashing it!
During this period of recuperation, he was almost moldy, and it was rare for someone to come to him.
Qing Er smiled and said: "Young master, how about I go to guard the door first, and when they start to smash it, I will go and reason with them, so as not to go too late, the door is really smashed by them - it's the New Year's Eve, It’s not easy to find someone to fix it.”
Yun Qi gave a "hmm" and said: "Two more people, you won't be able to say anything, but you will be beaten up instead."
Qing Er dissatisfied: "Master, you think too highly of them, don't you?"
Yun Qi said: "I have young servants like you all around me, how do you know that there are no powerful book boys around him?" He didn't believe that the eldest princess would not be by his only seedling, leaving one or two experts to escort her.
Qing Er muttered secretly: So you didn't overestimate them, you underestimated us!
But thinking about his son's skills, he really didn't dare to say that, so he asked Qingliu to go to the door to fight with his sleeves rolled up.
During this period of time, he was very depressed, even Qing Yi was fine, he was in the secret path at that time, but he was by Yun Qi's side from the beginning to the end, and in the end he didn't protect the master well, instead he relied on the master to fight his way out. He rushed out, but the master was seriously injured, and he broke a few pieces of oily skin.
Shame!
If I don't find something to vent, I'm really going crazy.
The two went there for half an hour, and then came back sullenly with a box in their arms.
Yun Qi looked up and down curiously for a while, and said: "Look at this, you haven't been beaten, how come it looks like you've lost a battle?"
Qing'er said disconsolately: "The elder son was yelling fiercely outside, yelling and smashing, but the two people around him refused to let him go...
"It was so easy to wait until the son got mad, and someone tied up those two, and came to smash the door with the guy on their shoulders, but suddenly another group of people came, directly tied up the son, threw him into the carriage and dragged him away.
"We've waited so long for nothing, it's just so boring."
Qingliu said, "Young master, this is the apology they left behind. It seems that the preparation was hastily prepared, but the value is not low."
Yun Qi also felt bored, and waved his hand: "Let the housekeeper put it away!"
Qing Er said: "They also left a post - Her Royal Highness the Princess will go to Kudu Temple to offer incense tomorrow, saying that she hopes to see you."
Although Kudu Temple claims that it does not accept pilgrims, it still needs to see who it is.
Rules are made by people, so at any time, there is no shortage of people who are above the rules.
But with the disposition of the monks, even if it is not the princess who comes, but ordinary people want to go in and burn incense, they will not refuse too much.
Yun Qi said: "Go back and tell them that I will be waiting for you at Kudu Temple tomorrow."
The prince is the prince, and the princess is the princess.
Half a month ago, no matter what the reason was, the eldest princess made a gesture in front of the mountain gate of Kudu Temple, almost using her own face to elevate the status of the monks and Yun Qi.In the end, Yun Qi couldn't refuse to even meet him once, not to mention she put the meeting place in Kudu Temple just across the wall, which was considered sincere.
The appointment time is undecided. Although the eldest princess will still burn incense and worship Buddha after entering the temple, the time is enough for the clouds to pass, but he still went to Kudu Temple early in the morning to start field inspections and prepare design drawings.
In order to keep warm, Heqiyunju originally diverted the hot springs to various places. You only need to choose a place and make a little modification. The hot springs in Kudu Temple are almost in their original state. They are natural scenic spots and big bathtubs. If you want to develop and exploit, you have to start from scratch.
First plan where to grow vegetables and rice, and then design warm water canals and cold water canals. During the process, factors such as water volume, water level, and flow rate should also be considered.
Yun Qi was laying on the table drawing sketches when he was suddenly told that the eldest princess had arrived. When he looked up, he saw the eldest princess Anping who was walking slowly.
As a princess, her appearance and temperament are naturally good, dignified and majestic, but because of her perennial sternness, her facial features are less vivid and charming.
Yun Qi was looking at the eldest princess, and the eldest princess was looking at him as if he was fascinated, after a long time he smiled and whispered: "Like, but not like."
After sitting down for tea, Yun Qi and the princess sat down across the tea table and asked, "Who does the princess say I look like?"
The eldest princess picked up the teacup and said, "An old friend."
Her answer was obviously a bit perfunctory, but when Yun Qi thought she would not continue this topic, she took out a handkerchief from her bosom and pushed it in front of Yun Qi: "Look."
Yun Qi hesitated for a moment before opening it. Unsurprisingly, there was an embroidered portrait of a young girl inside.
The eldest son kept staring into his eyes and said, "You have seen this embroidered portrait before."
The tone is not questioning, but affirmative.
Yun Qi also knew that he couldn't hide his reaction from others, but asking him to pretend to be stunned or shocked, or even say "Isn't this Miss Seven of the Gu family?" was too embarrassing for him, and he didn't think it was necessary.
Except for the matter of rebirth, he might be regarded as a monster by others, so he dared not speak casually, he had nothing to hide from others.
He nodded and said, "It's not this embroidered portrait, but it's the same person. I saw it in my mother's relics."
The eldest princess asked: "Are you still there now?"
Yun Qi said: "Burn."
The eldest princess seemed a little disappointed, sighed, put Xiupa away, and said slowly: "Do you want to know her identity?"
Yun Qi knew that no matter whether he answered "yes" or "no", the eldest princess would tell him, because if she hadn't come prepared, no matter how close the relationship was, there wouldn't be any woman who would take another woman The embroidered image is always carried with me.
And casually, just show it to the person you meet for the first time.
The eldest princess came here probably just to tell him a story.
But I don't know who it means.
Even though he knew she would say anything, Yun Qi still nodded honestly: "I think so."
The eldest princess shook her head and laughed, but she couldn't reach her eyes, and then the smile gradually faded away.
She waved her hand to make everyone around her retreat, and said slowly: "You should know that my queen mother, the present queen mother, was born in the Gu family. Today's Cheng Engong is the mother's elder brother.
"In addition to Cheng En Gong, the queen mother also has a younger brother, who is much younger than the mother queen, almost brought up by the mother queen alone, with a deep affection that no one else can match.
"I remember when I was young, my little uncle often went to the palace and took me to play with the emperor's brother, and we often went out of the palace to look for him... The emperor's martial arts was taught by him himself... Among the many elders, our brothers and sisters like it the most. It’s him, and every time he comes, we’re so excited.”
"It's a pity that our little uncle, although talented, both civil and military, unfortunately died young and died on the battlefield.
"At that time, my little aunt, Yunshi, was pregnant with Liujia.
"When the bad news came, my little aunt immediately became pregnant. After giving birth to a daughter, she passed away without even looking at it."
The eldest princess sighed, her eyes were moist, and said: "The queen mother fainted when she heard the bad news about my little uncle, but when she woke up, she heard the bad news about my little aunt again...
"The queen mother didn't even comb her hair, so she rushed to the royal father's bedroom with her hair disheveled like that, and had a big fight with the royal father. We don't know what they quarreled with, but the queen mother was so angry that she even cut off her long hair and said that she would fight with the royal father. Since then, grace and righteousness have been cut off.
"We all feel that the queen mother is a little bit over the top. Although we are also sad about the death of the little uncle, but there are no eyes on the battlefield. No one wants to see this kind of thing happen. The mother's troubles like this will damage the reputation of the little uncle. .
"But father, he tolerated it. Many people in the court said that the mother was immoral, and let the father abolish her, but the father severely punished those people. From then on, no one mentioned the matter of abolishing the empress.
"We all felt that the father was very good to the mother, but the mother still refused to let go, until the father passed away, and did not see him again for more than ten years.
After the eldest princess was silent for a long time, she laughed at herself again and said, "Accidentally pulled away."
With a slightly slower tone, he said: "Thinking about it, you guessed it, the woman on the embroidered portrait is Gu Yunxi, the daughter born to my aunt before she died.
"At that time, Yunqing was only four years old, and Xi'er was just born. Both of the parents of the two children died, and their grandfather and grandmother were long gone. The queen mother took them into the palace and raised them carefully.
"At that time, I was eight years old and Brother Huang was ten years old.
"The queen mother treats Yunqing and the others better than me and brother Huang, especially Xi'er, she treats them like the apple of her eye.
"Father is the same way, not only doting on them, inviting famous teachers for them, but also conferring the title of little uncle, and then letting Yun Qing, who is only four years old, inherit the title of marquis, and conferring on Xi'er as princess.
"Yunqing left the palace at the age of 15. At that time, the enemy invaded the country. Regardless of everyone's opposition, Yunqing resolutely joined the army and went to the battlefield. Since then, she has been irresistible. Finally, because of her outstanding military achievements, she was canonized as Dingguo Duke.
"When Yunqing returned to Beijing, Xi'er was already 17 years old, and my mother and I were together, and we had been seeing my husband for her since a few years ago, but no one was satisfied.
"Xi'er is the youngest. In the palace, her father dotes on her, her mother dotes on her, her brother dotes on her, and I dote on her. Not to mention Yunqing, since she was a child, the most delicious and fun food in the palace has always been close to her. Never let her suffer the slightest grievance..."
"It's just that Xi'er is a girl after all, no matter how reluctant she is, she still wants to marry when she gets older.
"We managed to pick a dozen candidates and let her have a look, but Xi'er didn't like any of them, and asked her what she liked, and she said at least she wanted to be like her brother.
"But the whole big dive, where can I find a second Gu Yunqing for her?
"We searched for her while persuading her, hoping that she would suddenly become enlightened. But soon after, the emperor passed away, and there was no crown prince and no legacy.
"At that time, all the adult princes had their own fiefdoms, their own army and people. You can imagine the chaos during that time.
"Brother Huang is the son of the eldest son, and Yunqing fought for him in all directions, and finally sat on the throne. Since then, he has decided to abolish the enfeoffment system and keep all the children of the royal family in the capital.
"We didn't expect that the first thing the emperor did after he became the throne was to ask his mother to marry Xi'er, saying that they were already in love.
"This matter was strongly opposed by my mother, me and Yun Qing.
"Brother Huang's house already has wives and concubines, how can we have the heart to serve Xi'er with someone else?
"What's more, now that the overall situation is uncertain, the emperor's brother abandons his wife and doesn't care about it. Li Xi'er is afraid that she will be infamous. The most important thing is that although Xi'er grew up in the harem, she has no idea what the harem is like. .
"She was so well protected, she didn't know that being a princess and being a concubine, the harem she saw were two completely different worlds.
"It's just that no one can hold back Xi'er.
"In order to ease the conflict, the imperial brother vacated the second seat, and made the original wife and Xi'er the imperial concubine at the same time.
"Everyone knows that he is preparing for Feng Xi'er's future, but because of the identities of the empress mother and Yun Qing, everyone acquiesced to this matter.
"Even though the imperial brother's original spouse's natal family supported him in the process of seizing the heir, how can it compare to Shangyun Qing's case in terms of contribution? Xi'er is the queen, in their opinion, it's actually not that great. Difficult to accept.
"After the civil strife subsided, Yun Qing handed over all military power and stayed away from the capital."
"Xi'er became a noble concubine. She was favored by the emperor's brother and loved by the empress. She lived a peaceful life, but a year later, she became pregnant.
"Xi'er was born prematurely back then, and the imperial physician said that her heart vessels were underdeveloped, and that pregnancy and childbirth might be dangerous. The emperor brother had been careful before, secretly giving Yunxi the Bizi Decoction, but who knew there was an accident.
"Brother Huang didn't want her to be in danger, so he gave her abortion pills himself.
"Who knew that by mistake, the child was saved, but the suspicion fell on the sachet of a concubine of the emperor's brother.
"Brother Huang took it lightly and punished that concubine.
"Brother Huang thought that this matter was over like this. When he received Yun Qing's letter, he realized that Xi'er had been brooding all the time, thinking that he didn't continue to pursue it because he didn't care about her or their children. He even felt that the emperor Brother married her only because he was concerned about the military power in Yunqing's hands.
"Brother Huang had no choice but to tell Xi'er about this matter, and hoped that she would abort the child.
"Xi'er cried for three days and three nights, and she smashed the abortion medicine when it was handed to her mouth, saying that whoever wants to kill her child should kill her first.
"The pregnant woman is emotionally unstable. What's more, after this kind of thing happened, she became more and more suspicious. She didn't believe anyone, and she refused to take the medicine prescribed by the imperial doctor. Her body became more and more haggard day by day. If this continues, it will never be possible If there is danger, I am afraid that it will become definitely dangerous.
"So after her fetal image was stabilized, she took people away from home and left a letter saying that she was going to find Yunqing. The emperor's brother and the queen mother simply acquiesced, and sent the imperial doctor Wen Po to accompany her all the way and escort her to the south of the Yangtze River.
"Who knew that this time, he... never came back.
"The queen mother almost went blind from crying, but when the imperial brother came to plead guilty, she said that Xi'er's death was not to be blamed on others, but her.
"Blame her for protecting her so well that she can't stand a little wind and rain. Blame her for not being tougher and breaking them up..."
After the eldest princess finished telling the story, she turned her eyes to look out of the window. After a long time, when the moisture in her eyes faded away, she turned around and took a sip of tea with her head down.
Yun Qi asked: "Why did the princess tell me these things?"
The eldest princess didn't answer, she stretched out her hand to caress the top of Yun Qi's head, but he turned his head away.
The eldest princess was not annoyed, and said, "You and Xi'er are really similar.
"The seventh girl of the Gu family is [-]% similar to Xi'er in appearance. Although in temperament...but it has already surprised me and made me feel kind. Even the queen mother is happy to see her.
"I don't want to see you again today."
Yun Qi said seriously: "I don't think I resemble her at all."
The eldest princess nodded and said: "It's true that the facial features are only three or four points, but on the penis, they are seven or eight points. It's the same..."
Then suddenly burst into laughter with a "puchi", the whole face suddenly became brighter, making people's eyes bright, and said: "delicate."
delicate?
Yun Qi's eyes widened, and he was very dissatisfied: This word is really... He is a big man, how delicate is he!
The eldest princess said again: "But it looks the same at first glance, but it is different when you look closely. Xi'er is a precious peony that has been pampered in the greenhouse all her life and withered in the wind and frost, but you seem to be moved out halfway. After the storm, it is like a camellia that was moved back to the greenhouse, looking tender and tender, but inside it has been completely reborn."
After shaking his head and laughing, he sighed again: "It's just that I didn't expect that those monks are so good at spoiling children, but they are better at teaching children than us."
Yun Qi was a little depressed: Why did he have the word "pampered" written on his face?Why does everyone feel like he was spoiled when they saw him?
It's true that he was spoiled by others, but that was all in his previous life.
Yun Qi looked at the eldest princess with provocative eyes: that eldest son of your family is really spoiled, right?
The eldest princess seemed to see what he was thinking, raised her hand to pour tea for him, and said, "My bastard son caused you trouble yesterday, and I'm here to apologize to you on his behalf."
Yun Qi took it with both hands, and said: "Your Majesty didn't cause me any trouble, but I'm afraid he caused a lot of trouble to His Royal Highness, right?"
The eldest princess shook her head and said, "It's actually not bad."
Then he said: "Qi Yu, I raised him carefully until he was 13 years old, and I knew that he would not have any great achievements in this life, and he would not be able to learn the delicate thoughts of those people, so I simply let him be a playboy.
"With his status, it's better not to be promising than not being promising. It's better to be a dude than to push him to the top of the officialdom, to be used by others, and to cause big trouble in the future.
"Although that child is straightforward, his character is good. He never does anything to bully the weak. He is a tough guy who can't be offended, and because of his usual reputation and my somewhat thin face, no one is serious with him.
"Besides, I'm not totally indulging in it. From time to time, I will get down on the board. Slowly, I will understand what things can be touched and what things can't be touched."
Yun Qi didn't speak, it's not his turn to intervene in this kind of matter.
I don't want the eldest princess to talk, but she changed her tone and said: "But this time, this bastard really caused me a lot of trouble."
Before Yun Qi could open his mouth, he continued on his own: "He has always liked to bet on horses, I also know about this problem, and I have taken care of it, but not so much.
"But he didn't know what stimulated him this time. He put in nearly a million taels of silver, and lost everything... Even my dowry Zhuangzi was lost by him."
"I'm willing to bet and admit defeat. There was nothing to say about this matter. He was beaten so hard that he couldn't get off the ground for half a year, so he changed it naturally. If he doesn't change it, he will be sent to Zhuangzi to do coolies for the first half of the year.
"It's just that I didn't expect that there would be a successor.
"It turns out that he should have been the winner of the bet, but the rider of the flying snow horse was bribed and tampered with on the field... You told me about this."
Yun Qi was stunned: "Me?"
The eldest princess nodded and said: "You were at the racetrack that day, but you met a man wrapped in gauze and said something - he just made a fortune?"
But what happened half a month ago, Yun Qi naturally remembered and nodded.
The eldest princess said: "That is Feixue's rider."
The cloud rises to support the forehead.
I only heard the eldest princess say again: "If Qi Yu really has a hard-to-change gambling nature and bad luck, then if he loses the money, he will lose, and I will take it back and discipline him. But if someone plots against me, I can't just pinch it like this I admit it with a straight nose. To say something that is not afraid of embarrassment, a million taels of silver is not a small amount to me, it hurts my muscles and bones!
"The slave who betrayed the master disappeared without a trace afterwards. Qi Yu was as anxious as a headless chicken, and was tricked by someone again. He sent someone to bring the portrait and wanted you to do the math. Where did you find that slave?"
Yun Qi said: "Your Royal Highness also means this?"
The eldest princess smiled and said slowly: "I don't think it will help to find that slave, and he may not know who is behind it. It's better to find out who is the ultimate beneficiary in this matter.
"I sent people to investigate carefully, and found that in the previous round, many people bet heavily, but none of them made the right bet. After all, the top four runners were wiped out.
"In this game, the dealer takes all.
"But the biggest owner behind the racecourse is the emperor, and then I, the Gu family, etc., get a dividend from it.
"It's impossible for the emperor to do this, right? But..."
The eldest princess looked at Yun Qi, and said meaningfully: "There is still one person, but because of this, he has gained both fame and fortune."
Yun Qi limply lay down on the table, propped his chin, and sighed, "I guess that person must be named Yun and Qi."
The eldest princess burst out laughing, and said, "You do have self-knowledge."
Yun Qi drew the blueprints and directed them on the spot. Everyone worked together, and only at night did they dig through the two main canals.
Continue the next morning.
In the middle of the morning, the butler hurried over and said, "My lord, the son of the eldest princess's mansion outside brought dozens of guards.

"I remember when I was young, my little uncle often went to the palace and took me to play with the emperor's brother, and we often went out of the palace to look for him... The emperor's martial arts was taught by him himself... Among the many elders, our brothers and sisters like it the most. It’s him, and every time he comes, we’re so excited.”
"It's a pity that our little uncle, although talented, both civil and military, unfortunately died young and died on the battlefield.
"At that time, my little aunt, Yunshi, was pregnant with Liujia.
"When the bad news came, my little aunt immediately became pregnant. After giving birth to a daughter, she passed away without even looking at it."
The eldest princess sighed, her eyes were moist, and said: "The queen mother fainted when she heard the bad news about my little uncle, but when she woke up, she heard the bad news about my little aunt again...
"The queen mother didn't even comb her hair, so she rushed to the royal father's bedroom with her hair disheveled like that, and had a big fight with the royal father. We don't know what they quarreled with, but the queen mother was so angry that she even cut off her long hair and said that she would fight with the royal father. Since then, grace and righteousness have been cut off.
"We all feel that the queen mother is a little bit over the top. Although we are also sad about the death of the little uncle, but there are no eyes on the battlefield. No one wants to see this kind of thing happen. The mother's troubles like this will damage the reputation of the little uncle. .
"But father, he tolerated it. Many people in the court said that the mother was immoral, and let the father abolish her, but the father severely punished those people. From then on, no one mentioned the matter of abolishing the empress.
"We all felt that the father was very good to the mother, but the mother still refused to let go, until the father passed away, and did not see him again for more than ten years.
After the eldest princess was silent for a long time, she laughed at herself again and said, "Accidentally pulled away."
With a slightly slower tone, he said: "Thinking about it, you guessed it, the woman on the embroidered portrait is Gu Yunxi, the daughter born to my aunt before she died.
"At that time, Yunqing was only four years old, and Xi'er was just born. Both of the parents of the two children died, and their grandfather and grandmother were long gone. The queen mother took them into the palace and raised them carefully.
"At that time, I was eight years old and Brother Huang was ten years old.
"The queen mother treats Yunqing and the others better than me and brother Huang, especially Xi'er, she treats them like the apple of her eye.
"Father is the same way, not only doting on them, inviting famous teachers for them, but also conferring the title of little uncle, and then letting Yun Qing, who is only four years old, inherit the title of marquis, and conferring on Xi'er as princess.
"Yunqing left the palace at the age of 15. At that time, the enemy invaded the country. Regardless of everyone's opposition, Yunqing resolutely joined the army and went to the battlefield. Since then, she has been irresistible. Finally, because of her outstanding military achievements, she was canonized as Dingguo Duke.
"When Yunqing returned to Beijing, Xi'er was already 17 years old, and my mother and I were together, and we had been seeing my husband for her since a few years ago, but no one was satisfied.
"Xi'er is the youngest. In the palace, her father dotes on her, her mother dotes on her, her brother dotes on her, and I dote on her. Not to mention Yunqing, since she was a child, the most delicious and fun food in the palace has always been close to her. Never let her suffer the slightest grievance..."
"It's just that Xi'er is a girl after all, no matter how reluctant she is, she still wants to marry when she gets older.
"We managed to pick a dozen candidates and let her have a look, but Xi'er didn't like any of them, and asked her what she liked, and she said at least she wanted to be like her brother.
"But the whole big dive, where can I find a second Gu Yunqing for her?
"We searched for her while persuading her, hoping that she would suddenly become enlightened. But soon after, the emperor passed away, and there was no crown prince and no legacy.
"At that time, all the adult princes had their own fiefdoms, their own army and people. You can imagine the chaos during that time.
"Brother Huang is the son of the eldest son, and Yunqing fought for him in all directions, and finally sat on the throne. Since then, he has decided to abolish the enfeoffment system and keep all the children of the royal family in the capital.
"We didn't expect that the first thing the emperor did after he became the throne was to ask his mother to marry Xi'er, saying that they were already in love.
"This matter was strongly opposed by my mother, me and Yun Qing.
"Brother Huang's house already has wives and concubines, how can we have the heart to serve Xi'er with someone else?
"What's more, now that the overall situation is uncertain, the emperor's brother abandons his wife and doesn't care about it. Li Xi'er is afraid that she will be infamous. The most important thing is that although Xi'er grew up in the harem, she has no idea what the harem is like. .
"She was so well protected, she didn't know that being a princess and being a concubine, the harem she saw were two completely different worlds.
"It's just that no one can hold back Xi'er.
"In order to ease the conflict, the imperial brother vacated the second seat, and made the original wife and Xi'er the imperial concubine at the same time.
"Everyone knows that he is preparing for Feng Xi'er's future, but because of the identities of the empress mother and Yun Qing, everyone acquiesced to this matter.
"Even though the imperial brother's original spouse's natal family supported him in the process of seizing the heir, how can it compare to Shangyun Qing's case in terms of contribution? Xi'er is the queen, in their opinion, it's actually not that great. Difficult to accept.
"After the civil strife subsided, Yun Qing handed over all military power and stayed away from the capital."
"Xi'er became a noble concubine. She was favored by the emperor's brother and loved by the empress. She lived a peaceful life, but a year later, she became pregnant.
"Xi'er was born prematurely back then, and the imperial physician said that her heart vessels were underdeveloped, and that pregnancy and childbirth might be dangerous. The emperor brother had been careful before, secretly giving Yunxi the Bizi Decoction, but who knew there was an accident.
"Brother Huang didn't want her to be in danger, so he gave her abortion pills himself.
"Who knew that by mistake, the child was saved, but the suspicion fell on the sachet of a concubine of the emperor's brother.
"Brother Huang took it lightly and punished that concubine.
"Brother Huang thought that this matter was over like this. When he received Yun Qing's letter, he realized that Xi'er had been brooding all the time, thinking that he didn't continue to pursue it because he didn't care about her or their children. He even felt that the emperor Brother married her only because he was concerned about the military power in Yunqing's hands.
"Brother Huang had no choice but to tell Xi'er about this matter, and hoped that she would abort the child.
"Xi'er cried for three days and three nights, and she smashed the abortion medicine when it was handed to her mouth, saying that whoever wants to kill her child should kill her first.
"The pregnant woman is emotionally unstable. What's more, after this kind of thing happened, she became more and more suspicious. She didn't believe anyone, and she refused to take the medicine prescribed by the imperial doctor. Her body became more and more haggard day by day. If this continues, it will never be possible If there is danger, I am afraid that it will become definitely dangerous.
"So after her fetal image was stabilized, she took people away from home and left a letter saying that she was going to find Yunqing. The emperor's brother and the queen mother simply acquiesced, and sent the imperial doctor Wen Po to accompany her all the way and escort her to the south of the Yangtze River.
"Who knew that this time, he... never came back.
"The queen mother almost went blind from crying, but when the imperial brother came to plead guilty, she said that Xi'er's death was not to be blamed on others, but her.
"Blame her for protecting her so well that she can't stand a little wind and rain. Blame her for not being tougher and breaking them up..."
After the eldest princess finished telling the story, she turned her eyes to look out of the window. After a long time, when the moisture in her eyes faded away, she turned around and took a sip of tea with her head down.
Yun Qi asked: "Why did the princess tell me these things?"
The eldest princess didn't answer, she stretched out her hand to caress the top of Yun Qi's head, but he turned his head away.
The eldest princess was not annoyed, and said, "You and Xi'er are really similar.
"The seventh girl of the Gu family is [-]% similar to Xi'er in appearance. Although in temperament...but it has already surprised me and made me feel kind. Even the queen mother is happy to see her.
"I don't want to see you again today."
Yun Qi said seriously: "I don't think I resemble her at all."
The eldest princess nodded and said: "It's true that the facial features are only three or four points, but on the penis, they are seven or eight points. It's the same..."
Then suddenly burst into laughter with a "puchi", the whole face suddenly became brighter, making people's eyes bright, and said: "delicate."
delicate?
Yun Qi's eyes widened, and he was very dissatisfied: This word is really... He is a big man, how delicate is he!
The eldest princess said again: "But it looks the same at first glance, but it is different when you look closely. Xi'er is a precious peony that has been pampered in the greenhouse all her life and withered in the wind and frost, but you seem to be moved out halfway. After the storm, it is like a camellia that was moved back to the greenhouse, looking tender and tender, but inside it has been completely reborn."
After shaking his head and laughing, he sighed again: "It's just that I didn't expect that those monks are so good at spoiling children, but they are better at teaching children than us."
Yun Qi was a little depressed: Why did he have the word "pampered" written on his face?Why does everyone feel like he was spoiled when they saw him?
It's true that he was spoiled by others, but that was all in his previous life.
Yun Qi looked at the eldest princess with provocative eyes: that eldest son of your family is really spoiled, right?
The eldest princess seemed to see what he was thinking, raised her hand to pour tea for him, and said, "My bastard son caused you trouble yesterday, and I'm here to apologize to you on his behalf."
Yun Qi took it with both hands, and said: "Your Majesty didn't cause me any trouble, but I'm afraid he caused a lot of trouble to His Royal Highness, right?"
The eldest princess shook her head and said, "It's actually not bad."
Then he said: "Qi Yu, I raised him carefully until he was 13 years old, and I knew that he would not have any great achievements in this life, and he would not be able to learn the delicate thoughts of those people, so I simply let him be a playboy.
"With his status, it's better not to be promising than not being promising. It's better to be a dude than to push him to the top of the officialdom, to be used by others, and to cause big trouble in the future.
"Although that child is straightforward, his character is good. He never does anything to bully the weak. He is a tough guy who can't be offended, and because of his usual reputation and my somewhat thin face, no one is serious with him.
"Besides, I'm not totally indulging in it. From time to time, I will get down on the board. Slowly, I will understand what things can be touched and what things can't be touched."
Yun Qi didn't speak, it's not his turn to intervene in this kind of matter.
I don't want the eldest princess to talk, but she changed her tone and said: "But this time, this bastard really caused me a lot of trouble."
Before Yun Qi could open his mouth, he continued on his own: "He has always liked to bet on horses, I also know about this problem, and I have taken care of it, but not so much.
"But he didn't know what stimulated him this time. He put in nearly a million taels of silver, and lost everything... Even my dowry Zhuangzi was lost by him."
"I'm willing to bet and admit defeat. There was nothing to say about this matter. He was beaten so hard that he couldn't get off the ground for half a year, so he changed it naturally. If he doesn't change it, he will be sent to Zhuangzi to do coolies for the first half of the year.
"It's just that I didn't expect that there would be a successor.
"It turns out that he should have been the winner of the bet, but the rider of the flying snow horse was bribed and tampered with on the field... You told me about this."
Yun Qi was stunned: "Me?"
The eldest princess nodded and said: "You were at the racetrack that day, but you met a man wrapped in gauze and said something - he just made a fortune?"
But what happened half a month ago, Yun Qi naturally remembered and nodded.
The eldest princess said: "That is Feixue's rider."
The cloud rises to support the forehead.
I only heard the eldest princess say again: "If Qi Yu really has a hard-to-change gambling nature and bad luck, then if he loses the money, he will lose, and I will take it back and discipline him. But if someone plots against me, I can't just pinch it like this I admit it with a straight nose. To say something that is not afraid of embarrassment, a million taels of silver is not a small amount to me, it hurts my muscles and bones!
"The slave who betrayed the master disappeared without a trace afterwards. Qi Yu was as anxious as a headless chicken, and was tricked by someone again. He sent someone to bring the portrait and wanted you to do the math. Where did you find that slave?"
Yun Qi said: "Your Royal Highness also means this?"
The eldest princess smiled and said slowly: "I don't think it will help to find that slave, and he may not know who is behind it. It's better to find out who is the ultimate beneficiary in this matter.
"I sent people to investigate carefully, and found that in the previous round, many people bet heavily, but none of them made the right bet. After all, the top four runners were wiped out.
"In this game, the dealer takes all.
"But the biggest owner behind the racecourse is the emperor, and then I, the Gu family, etc., get a dividend from it.
"It's impossible for the emperor to do this, right? But..."
The eldest princess looked at Yun Qi, and said meaningfully: "There is still one person, but because of this, he has gained both fame and fortune."
Yun Qi limply lay down on the table, propped his chin, and sighed, "I guess that person must be named Yun and Qi."
The eldest princess burst out laughing, and said, "You do have self-knowledge."
