Mrs. Shizi, she is both wise and brave

Chapter 122 Eavesdropping
Except for a few relatives and friends, the Qin family closed their doors and declined other visits.

But other people can refuse, but the kindness of the emperor cannot be refused.

On the second day, Emperor Wensi sent the crown prince, six princes and seven princes to the Qin family to greet them.

Mrs. Qin supported her sick body and took Mrs. Jiang to the gate to greet her.

The prince ranked third among the princes, in his early thirties, he was a fair-faced, handsome and gentle man.

Seeing the Qin family saluting, he quickly walked over to help Mrs. Qin up himself.

"The old lady is not feeling well, why bother to be polite, but Zhe Sha is lonely."

Mrs. Qin got up and shook her head respectfully and said: "Courtesy is undeniable, you are the crown prince, and there are two princes here, so you deserve to be worshiped by me."

The prince smiled slightly when he saw this, and did not argue, he just supported Mrs. Qin and said: "Father was very worried when he heard that the old lady was ill, so he sent Gu and two younger brothers to visit. The old lady is better now. ?”

Mrs. Qin immediately bowed in the direction of the imperial palace, and said: "Your Majesty and His Royal Highnesses care about you, and I feel much better."

The crown prince nodded, seeing that the faces of the Qin family were not in a good mood, he comforted him and said, "Old lady and Mrs. Hou, rest assured, little general Qin is a lucky man, and he will be safe and sound."

Mrs. Qin and Mrs. Jiang bowed their heads in agreement.

The Seventh Prince on the side also said in a warm voice: "That's right, the little general Qin is superb in martial arts and bravely crowned the three armies. He will be safe and sound, but the old lady and Mrs. Hou should take care of their health."

"It just so happens that my father has sent Imperial Physician Xu who is proficient in geriatric symptoms to accompany me this time. I can ask the imperial physician to show Mrs. Qin later."

Mrs. Qin and Mrs. Jiang were busy and thanked.

The sixth prince couldn't help rolling his eyes when he saw the pretending face of the seventh prince.

At first, Emperor Wensi only sent the prince to the Qin residence, and the seventh prince volunteered to follow after hearing about it.

The purpose, of course, is to show favor to the Qin family in order to gain their support.

But how could the sixth prince make him wish, and he would follow him immediately, anyway, he would never let him get close to the Qin family.

Seeing the Seventh Prince had said something at this time, he also leaned forward and said: "If there is any difficulty in the mansion, Madam Hou can send someone to find Third Brother, or me, and we will definitely try our best to help."

Upon hearing this, Mrs. Jiang thanked her again.

After a few words, the prince invited Mrs. Qin to go back to rest, and asked the accompanying imperial physician to diagnose and treat her.

Mrs. Jiang invited the prince and several people to serve tea in the reception hall, and after a confession, she took the imperial doctor and accompanied Mrs. Qin to the backyard.

The Seventh Prince sat for a while, then smiled lightly and said, "It's boring in this hall. I heard that the Qin Mansion has a strange layout. My younger brother wants to see it, so I won't be with the third and sixth brothers."

The prince nodded lightly, "Seventh brother can do it himself."

The Seventh Prince nodded, casually recruited a servant to lead the way, and left with them.

The sixth prince looked at his gradually receding figure and curled his lips.

According to his understanding, he definitely didn't know what he was going to do again.

He thought for a while and then got up, "I'm also very interested, and I'm going out for a stroll too."

The prince glanced at him and shook his head helplessly.

Naturally, he also knew that Lao Qi had a plan in mind, but he wasn't worried at all.

Why has the Qin family been deeply trusted by the emperor and survived from generation to generation?
In addition to being able to lead the army, the most important thing is actually being loyal enough.

Otherwise, no matter how great the military exploits are, the emperor will not rest assured that the tiger is sleeping peacefully beside the collapse.

Since the beginning of the establishment of the Qin family, they have only obeyed the orders of the emperor, and they are pure royalists.

He never participated in government affairs, never formed a party for personal gain, and even when the old and new dynasties were changing, he never wooed the outside world and only listened to the emperor's orders.

Therefore, although the successors are sometimes annoyed, they will not move the mind of the Qin family.

In the current dynasty, the emperor relied heavily on it.

Such a family is not something Lao Qi can win over, it's just a waste of effort.

But the crown prince didn't stop the sixth prince, because the Qin family was here, so he couldn't explain it to his younger brother in detail, and he knew his younger brother's temper well, if he wanted to confront Lao Qi, even if he explained, he wouldn't listen, so he just went along with it. let him go.

When the sixth prince went out, the seventh prince had long since disappeared, so he was not in a hurry. He listened carefully to the servants of the Qin family's introduction to the layout of the mansion and sent them away.

Anyway, as long as you don't go to the inner courtyard, you can just wander around in other places. It's inconvenient to have the Qin family's servants around.

After thinking about it, he went to the garden on the west side first, and after walking around, he felt that it was not much different from other mansions, and he didn't even see the shadow of Lao Qi, so he walked directly along the veranda to the east.

I heard there is a horse farm built there.

When he was about to approach, Shen Ji saw a person standing by the door over there.

He is the confidant eunuch next to the Seventh Prince.

Shen Ji was shocked.

Sure enough, it's tricky.

Otherwise, what are you doing guarding the door?

He raised his hand and stroked his chin for a while, looked around, and suddenly had an idea.

Shen Ji is lively and active by nature, so he practiced martial arts very well.

He touched under a courtyard wall in a blink of an eye, and climbed over the top of the wall in two or three strokes.

On the other side of the wall is the Qin family's horse farm.

At this time, the racecourse was empty and there was no one there, Shen Ji wandered around for a few steps before looking at the stables not far away.

He pondered for a while and lifted his foot to walk over there.

As the distance got closer and closer, they faintly heard voices.

He thought for a while and climbed directly to the roof of the stable.

Looking down, the Seventh Prince was talking to a girl, neither of them noticed the movement on the roof.

He naturally knew that girl, she was Qin Wushuang, the only daughter of the Qin family.

At this time, the Seventh Prince said softly: "Miss Qin, please forgive me. Xi came here because he was curious about the racecourse in your mansion. I didn't expect to meet Miss Qin. It was a bit abrupt."

Qin Wushuang shook his head slightly, put away the surprise in his eyes, and said in a low voice: "Your Highness is serious."

She knew that the prince was coming, but she was a boudoir lady and didn't need to show up to meet her, and because of Qin Huaiyu's accident, she was worried and sad, so she wanted to hide in the horse farm where the brother and sister often stayed.

He didn't expect to meet this seventh prince.

Thinking of the Bo family and Cheng'an, she really didn't feel good for this handsome prince, so she stopped talking after she replied.

But obviously the Seventh Prince didn't have the same idea.

He looked at the girl in front of him calmly.

A pair of beautiful sword eyebrows slanted into the temples, skin like snow, eyes like clear pools, not as gentle and shy as the ladies from aristocratic families that I have seen in the past, but with a heroic spirit, she looks very energetic.

No wonder it's the lady of the military commander's family, she is really different.

Although she wasn't his type, she was still a beauty.

This is already a pleasant surprise.

After all, always facing the same kind of woman will also get bored, it is better to be fresh.
