Feng Qing Shaoyi

Chapter 149
The carriage slowly drove into the mansion, Qi Ze could only stay in the carriage because of his leg injury, as the curtain was raised, Qi Ze saw the people in the mansion.

An amiable old man who was about sixty years old was looking at her with a smile.Standing next to them were all young and strong young people. Although they were wearing servant clothes, Qi Ze felt that they were all masters with profound internal strength.

Although it can't be compared with her, it is completely enough to face some ordinary Lianjiazi, similar to Zhu Yu Cangzhu and the others, not to mention that there are so many people.These servants are expressionless and taciturn, making it impossible to see what they are thinking, and all they can see is loyalty.

Rather than saying that these people are servants, they might as well be Que Yu's subordinates.

After watching Qi Ze look around for a week, the kind old man said with a smile: "My lady, the lord has told the old slave that you are coming, so the old slave has already sent someone to clean the room, and the girl can live in peace of mind." Prince Qin's Mansion."

Qi Ze was completely stunned upon hearing this, girl?Are you calling her?Does she look like a girl?No, she seems to be a girl.It's just that no one has ever called himself that, so he felt a little uncomfortable for a while.

At this time, the girl who was sitting on the carriage and holding the edge of the door was especially good-looking, with soft and slender black hair pouring down to her waist like ink, and her delicate and jade-like features were white and smooth, faintly shining in the sun.Her eyes were cold and her posture was elegant. As the breeze blew by, her blue hair flowed like clouds, adding a touch of her feminine softness for no reason.Although the eyes are too indifferent, but the beauty of the brows is poetic and picturesque, just like the first snow in the winter before the sun is clear, although it is cold but also soft.The blue hair floated to the eyes, but it couldn't hide the beauty and fascination.

But at this time, the girl's eyes were blank, as if she was very uncomfortable with this new environment.

"The old slave is Kong Zhong, the steward of the Duke of Qin's mansion. It is good for the girl to call the old slave Kong the steward. If there is anything you need, you can tell the old slave, and the old slave will do it for the girl." The steward Kong smiled kindly, "I don't know how the girl is. call?"

"Miss Ze." Que Yu walked slowly to the carriage and said slowly, "From now on, we will call her Miss Ze."

"Yes, my lord." Butler Kong responded.

Que Yu slowly stretched out his hand towards Qi Ze, while Qi Ze looked at that hand and said in a calm voice, "No need, my lord, actually I..." I can walk by myself.

But Que Yu pulled the woman into his arms, and said in a lazy voice, "Miss Ze needs to rest. Since her legs and feet are inconvenient, the visitor is a guest. It would be great if this king personally sent Miss Ze into the room."

Qi Ze: "..." He wasn't listening to what she said at all.

Looking at Que Yu's back, Steward Kong couldn't help asking curiously: "Where did the lord find this girl? Although she looks deserted and difficult to get along with, this girl has clear eyes and is quite likable." Then asked the side Shanglu, "Shanglu, do you know? You have been with the prince for the longest time."

Shang Lu just stood there in a daze, shaking his head slowly with dull eyes and disbelief, "I...don't know."

Qi Ze turned out to be a woman, when did the master know about it?No wonder he was asked to withdraw the people monitoring Fusheng Pavilion, could it be that time in Fulong Temple?

But there is nothing about Qi Ze that looks like a woman, so it can't be blamed for him not being able to recognize it. Qi Ze's cold demeanor really doesn't have anything to do with a woman, although he still looks a bit like a woman when his hair is loose.

"Oh, I found that at the border." Steward Kong sighed, "What a beautiful girl, but she was killed in the bitter cold of the border. She was just a weak girl, and they were able to deal with it. Knowing how terrified this girl must be when she wakes up to see her parents dead, she is so frightened that she doesn't speak much. If the old man were the prince, he would take it back with distress."

It is a common occurrence in Beishuo for a family to be killed collectively at the border.Because Beishuo people are informal and like to challenge some novel things.Knowing that the border is bitter, cold and difficult, someone specially took a large family to live in the border for a period of time to try.

Because the people who tried it were wealthy businessmen who had no shortage of money at home and lived a boring life, so it became the favorite place for robbers to patronize, and every robbery was basically successful.

Originally it was just to grab some money, but some people guarded the money so that it would not be robbed, and this turned into a murder incident, and this incident happened more and more.

The emperor of Beishuo was a little helpless. Considering that it would affect the border war, he forbade the people of Beishuo to go to the border.At the same time, because of the murder incident, fewer people went there in recent years.

But Butler Kong's mind was still stuck in the past few years, because he heard that he was used to living a comfortable life, and it was a bit novel to go to the border to suffer and be killed. At the same time, he also thought it was a brain problem, so he wrote it down.So when Que Yu sent a message saying that he had picked up a girl from the border and asked Butler Kong to tidy up the room, Butler Kong subconsciously thought that the whole family was idle and had nothing to do.

When he saw Qi Ze's aura that belonged exclusively to the aristocratic family, he became more certain of his thoughts.

Shanglu looked at Butler Kong's understanding and had no choice but to understand it as he wanted.But Qi Ze doesn't seem to have anything to do with the word "weak" at all, after all, she is the one who kicked King Jin of Southern Chu.And the reason why he doesn't talk much is because Qi Ze himself doesn't talk much, and when he opens his mouth, he can make his anger half dead. How can it be that he is so scared that he doesn't like to talk?

"Hey, I just remembered." Butler Kong clapped his hands together and said pleasantly: "Now there is still some fruit wine unique to the palace, just to give Miss Ze a shock. The fruit wine in the palace is very rare, Miss Ze Absolutely not."

Although Beishuo is rich in fruit wine, the fruit wine in the palace is not something ordinary people can drink.The wine used by the royal family is of course not ordinary. The color of the brewed wine is brighter and brighter, and the aftertaste is mellow and melodious. Before taking a few sips, the fruity aroma is already intoxicating.

Usually if you want to drink it, you can only get rewards from the emperor. This time, King Qin of Beishuo came back, and the current emperor of Beishuo, Yuanping Emperor Longyan Dayue, rewarded several bottles of fruit wine to the Palace of King Qin.Although there are only a few bottles, they are worth thousands of gold.

When Shang Lu heard that Steward Kong was willing to take out the fruit wine given by the emperor, he couldn't help but said: "It seems that Steward Kong still likes Miss Ze very much. Is Steward Kong so relieved of such an unknown person?"

"What's there to worry about? Miss Ze's eyes are calm, and she won't have any bad intentions at first glance. Although the origin is unknown, isn't she much better than those women who have the cheek to come to the palace to look for the prince? The old man really likes it. This girl." Kong Butler said indifferently, "Besides, the prince brought it back, so that's right. Can we be worried about the prince taking it back?"

When King Qin of Beishuo came back, many Beishuo families wanted to find out.After all, if there is an extra prince in the royal family for no reason, then the division of power in Beishuo will be affected.

Although Emperor Yuanping was old, his spirit was hale and hearty. Coupled with his original iron-blooded wrists, some princes today did not dare to blatantly launch a battle for succession.After all, how can the emperor of Beishuo who is able to manage the vast northern area be poor?
Therefore, the division of power in Beishuo is unclear, and all the families are looking at who can finally inherit the throne.Not to mention that a prince has returned this time, and the situation is even more unclear.So they can only wait quietly, waiting for the situation in front of them to change, and then make a choice to ensure that they are on the right team and bring the greatest benefits to themselves.

But the girls in Beishuo's boudoir didn't care that much. The situation in court had nothing to do with them, and they only hoped to marry a good family.So as soon as Que Yu came back, the ladies in the boudoirs took a fancy to that exquisite and perfect face.

People in Beishuo have always been informal. At the same time, if the girls have a crush on a young master, they will send their maids to find out and convey their feelings.When they saw Que Yu, the girls found their target again, and he was a high-ranking prince, so it was more in line with their wishes.

Ever since Que Yu moved into Prince Qin's mansion, all the ladies in the boudoirs have asked their maids to express their affection openly and secretly.Passed his handkerchief or sachet to Que Yu through the servants of Prince Qin's Mansion, but those servants stood in front of the door like wooden stakes, their eyes were staring straight ahead, as if they didn't see the sentiments handed over by the maids. things.

The servants refused to pick them up, and the ladies in the boudoir had no choice but to come to the door to find their favorite lover to express their affection.Thinking that he has come in person, King Qin should give some face and come out to meet him in person.But the result can be imagined, Que Yu didn't take pity on those ladies who came to the door in person, on the contrary, he was driven away by the servants, and he never went out from the main entrance.

So the ladies in the boudoir only met Que Yu once when he came back, and never saw each other again after that.Originally, I wanted to use some methods to establish contact, so that we could meet each other later, but how can we establish contact without seeing anyone?

Forget it, I even heard that the King of Qin took his soldiers to the border a few days ago, saying that life in Beishuo was boring and he wanted to have some fun.Seeing Que Yu acting recklessly, even Emperor Yuan Ping had no choice but to let Que Yu lead his troops to attack Southern Chu.

When Que Yu left, the hearts of the ladies in the boudoir were also broken.Hearing that he finally came back, the ladies in the boudoir came to the door again.

Shang Lu was thinking in his heart that it seemed that Steward Kong was right. Although Qi Ze was from Southern Chu, it was not appropriate to have too much contact with his master.But the master took it back by himself, aren't they relieved?They don't need to trust Qi Ze, but they must trust Que Yu.No matter what the master wants to do, they just have to obey the order.

Just as he was thinking, Shang Lu heard Steward Kong's irritable and impatient voice, "Oh, why are those women here again? Knowing that the prince doesn't want to see them, why are you so cheeky?"

After finishing speaking, Steward Kong put the fruit wine in his hand into Shang Lu's arms, and found someone to drive those girls away.

There was a lot of movement at the door for a while, but after a while the sound became quieter again. It was obvious that people had been driven away.

Butler Kong came over with a smile, took the fruit wine, and said: "It's better to drive away, and it will be easier for Miss Ze to recover from her injuries if she is quiet. They are chattering at the door every day, and this old man is annoying to hear."

After speaking, she walked towards Qi Ze's room.

At the same time, in a relatively remote room, "Thank you His Highness King Qin for taking me back to the room to recuperate." Qi Ze said looking around at the fresh and elegantly furnished, simple and generous room.

"Who said just now that you don't need it." Que Yu looked lazily, then approached him and said, "But when have you been so polite to me? You are so obedient, I am not used to it for a while."

"...It's just due etiquette. I am the Minister of Southern Chu, so I naturally have to maintain etiquette with Prince Beishuo." Qi Ze, who was half lying on the bed, looked at the man in front of him and said.

Is she very naughty?She doesn't seem to have done anything, although she often used words to choke Queyu when she was in Nanchu.

"Oh, little girl, you are not a person who knows how to observe etiquette. If you didn't observe it in Nanchu, you still don't have to observe it in Beishuo." Que Yu said while sitting by the bed.

What's the meaning?It seems that she is usually very arrogant.He was the most arrogant in Southern Chu, openly calling the names of the crown prince and the king of Jin, even though he didn't even go to court, and he still said that she was not polite.

"No, the proper etiquette still needs to be observed. His Royal Highness Qin and I serve different monarchs, and there is a difference in respect. Besides, I am currently staying in the Qin Palace, so I should call Qin Wang." Qi Ze still insisted.

In fact, it doesn't really matter if the etiquette is impolite, but now she and Que Yu belong to different countries, which is different from the previous colleagues who were also officials in the court.If someone found out that Que Yu brought a person from Nanchu into the mansion privately, and this person was also the Minister of War of Nanchu.

Then she will be judged as a spy, which will cause her trouble.The same will also bring some troubles to Que Yu. Although he doesn't care about it himself, she does. She can't ruin her official career because of this matter.Therefore, she had to keep a distance from Que Yu, even if she returned to Nanchu, she could not mention to outsiders that she was recuperating in Beishuo.

The relationship between the two countries is inherently sensitive, not to mention the identity of an imperial court official. If she is known, she will be suspected of collaborating with the enemy and traitorous, and the consequences will be disastrous.

Of course Que Yu also knew what Qi Ze was afraid of, so he didn't force it, he just shrugged his shoulders and said, "It's up to you, you can shout whatever you want."

The two were talking, butler Kong pushed the door in with a few bottles of wine, first saluted Que Yu, then picked up the glass and poured wine while asking, "Is Miss Ze still used to living in this room?"

"I'm quite used to it, thank you, Butler Kong." Qi Ze responded with a smile.

"You don't need to thank the old slave, this is what the old slave should do." Steward Kong approached slowly with a glass of wine, "What's more, this room was designated by the prince. He said that Miss Ze likes to be quiet, and this room is the most suitable for recuperating from injuries."

Qi Ze was a little stunned. It turned out that this was the room designated by Que Yu. No wonder the layout was somewhat similar to her room in Fusheng Pavilion, which made people feel a sense of belonging inexplicably.

"Thank you, Your Highness King Qin." Qi Ze thanked him with a slight bow.

"En." Que Yu replied casually.

"Miss Ze's habit of living is good. I thought this place was remote, and I was afraid that Miss Ze would not like it. Now it seems that this old slave is worrying too much." Butler Kong handed the wine glass in his hand to Qi Ze, "Miss Ze should be here The frontier is frightened, why don't you drink some fruit wine to suppress the shock."

Frightened?How did Butler Kong know that she was frightened at the border?However, I was indeed frightened, and I still have lingering fears. It would be good to drink some fruit wine.

Qi Ze looked at the fruit wine in his hand, it was clear and transparent, exuding an attractive fruity aroma, as well as this intoxicating smell of wine.Smelling the familiar aroma of wine, Qi Ze felt that she had drank this fruit wine somewhere, but she couldn't remember it for a while.

When he saw Que Yu next to him, Qi Ze wanted to come.

Isn't this the fruit wine that Que Yu brought out in Chenyue Building at that time?I heard it was quite precious. She seemed to be drunk at the time. Although the wine looked sweet, it actually had a lot of stamina, otherwise she would not have been drunk.

Qi Ze lost his mood for a while, she would forget about getting drunk.

Seeing that Qi Ze just looked at the fruit wine quietly and didn't drink it all the time, Butler Kong said: "Could it be that Miss Ze doesn't like this fruit wine? This is the fruit wine bestowed by the Holy One, it's extremely rare, Miss Ze might as well give it a try."

The fruit wine bestowed by the emperor?No wonder Que Yu said that this wine is extremely precious, ordinary people can't drink it at all, it turns out that only the royal family of Beishuo can drink it.But it's fine to let her get drunk, and when Qi Ze was thinking about how to refuse the glass of wine, he saw Que Yu reach out and snatch the glass and return it to Butler Kong.

"She's not good at drinking, so don't bring her over again in the future."

Butler Kong was taken aback, how did the prince know?But still respectfully replied: "Yes, my lord." After speaking, he turned and left.

Qi Ze was still thinking about the fruit wine, but the glass of fruit wine brought by Kong Butler made her think about something.

In fact, in Que Yu's words before, the fact that she was actually from Beishuo had already been implied, but she misunderstood and ignored it at the time.When drinking in Chenyuelou, Que Yu said that he likes to drink fruit wine, but there was still a trace of nostalgia in his eyes.

At that time, she thought that she liked fruit wine because it was rare and rarely drank it, but now it seems that it is actually because of the hometown complex.Moreover, in Sihe City, Meng Yanxi was also very obsessed with fruit wine. Que Yuming knew that there were girls blocking him outside, but he would agree to drink fruit wine in the tavern.It was all because of the nostalgia for Bei Shuo.

Que Yu is from Beishuo, so Meng Yanxi should also be from Beishuo. If you think about it one step further, Yi Xingke is also from Beishuo.That's why the two of them left after Que Yu's fake death, and they should be in Beishuo at this time.

But why did those two people also live in Nanchu? Could it be that the relationship between the two of them and Que Yu was unusual?Thinking of the trust in Meng Yanxi's eyes, it was not just an ordinary friend relationship, but more like a master-servant relationship.

Meng Yanxi's temperament is not inferior to that of the princes of the family. Que Yu is the prince, so Meng Yanxi should be the son of a family in Beishuo, and so is Yi Xingke.

The relationship between these two people and Que Yu is that of friends, but also a kind of subordinate.The two represented their respective aristocratic families and went to Nanchu to assist their master, right?
Then there is an explanation for everything that happened in Nanchu, why Gao Yichuan was killed, and why he deliberately kept a distance from all the aristocratic families.Because he is from Beishuo, he knows that he will leave sooner or later, everything in Nanchu is nothingness to him.

At this moment, Qi Ze felt that she seemed to see a little more clearly, and the thick fog between her and Que Yu seemed to be thinner.

"It seems that you have understood something, little girl." Que Yu held his chin and looked quietly at Qi Ze who was thinking.

Qi Ze looked at Que Yu in a daze, as if he wanted to confirm something.

"That's right, it's exactly what you think." Que Yu bent his lips into a smile, nodded his head lightly, and said lazily as if he understood what the woman was thinking.

Qi Ze was slightly taken aback, "I won't disclose these things to others."

"I know." Que Yu leaned closer, the corners of his lips slightly curved, "Otherwise I wouldn't have allowed Kong Zhong to come over with the wine."

Looking at the gentle face in front of him, Que Yu leaned closer, "I said I would let you see through me." A hand with well-articulated bones passed through the white and slender fingers, and the fingers were tightly pressed together. Holding each other together, inseparable, the man's voice is also charming and hoarse.

"Little girl, can I see more clearly now?"
