The prince does not fight for the heir

Although Emperor Yuan'an didn't favor Yunzhen, the son-in-law, he could even be said to be lukewarm and strict with him, but a son-in-law is a son-in-law, and he can't be sloppy in name, so to the royal family, Elder Qi Ge is a serious in-law grandfather, He was also the head of the former cabinet ministers, so the palace banquet that night was of a very high standard.

Apart from Elder Qi Ge, those seated were Elder Qi Ge's eldest son, the cabinet minister of the Military Aircraft Department Qi Zhang Qi Dashi, and the youngest son of Qi Ge Elder, Qi Fu, the biological father of Qi Caiwei, the future concubine of Yunzhen. , Qi Fu was a Jinshi, and he was an Hanlin, but he was indifferent by nature and liked to stay in his ancestral home to run and study, so he resigned from the official position.

That is to say, Qi Zhang has only sons and no daughters under his knees, otherwise it would not be his niece Qi Caiwei's turn to be the prince and concubine.

15-year-old Qi Caiwei was the last seat at Qi's house, and this was the first time she and Yoon Zhen met.

The little girl is fair and clean, with good facial features, but her face is a bit square, which tends to give people a sense of generosity and chivalry. In addition, she was born in a literati family, has been deeply influenced by Confucian culture, and has a gentle temperament. Able to bear the bearing of a prince and concubine, while not stunning in appearance, she is also not aggressive, very attractive.

Princess Zhiling had no feelings for this fourth prince and concubine at first, and even had some repulsion, but she didn't expect that the first time she saw her, she would have a good impression?Although the other party was not as beautiful as Fu Xuechen, his peaceful and upright aura really made it impossible for people to feel bad.

Will the fourth brother be satisfied with such a fourth sister-in-law?Princess Zhiling glanced at Yunzhen curiously, but she couldn't see any emotion from Yunzhen's face, instead, it caused Yunzhen to look back at her several times.

Just as several young people were curious about Qi Caiwei, the future fourth prince and concubine, Qi Caiwei was also curious about Yunzhen, the fourth prince, and her future husband, and glanced at each other several times during the dinner.

However, the cold-breathed and expressionless Yoon Zhen didn't make Qi Caiwei retreat in fear, on the contrary, it aroused Qi Caiwei's heart and paid more attention to him.

So she soon discovered that Yoon Zhen was cold and heartless on the surface, but in fact, whenever his eyes turned to a certain direction, the breath in his eyes would be soft for a short moment.

It was really an extremely short moment, if you don't pay attention all the time, you won't notice this change in Yoon Zhen at all, Qi Caiwei is calm on the surface, but she can't help but quietly try to catch the direction of Yoon Zhen's eyes.

Finally, at the moment when Yunzhen's gaze shifted again, Qi Caiwei's gaze also hurriedly followed, following the direction of Yunzhen's gaze, she saw the two girls in the unremarkable seat opposite.

That was...Qi Caiwei recalled a little, and remembered the identities of the two young girls, the queen's niece, Yunzhen's cousin Yan Siyun, the county head, and the county head's teacher, Mr. Fu Xuechen, the daughter of the Duke of Yasukuni.

Both girls are extremely beautiful, one is delicate, one is charming, one is bright and the other is pure.

But in comparison, that girl Fu Xuechen was obviously better. Although she was dressed in a low-key and elegant manner, she sat there casually, and there was a pleasant scenery with her hands and feet raised.

Sensing Qi Caiwei's gaze, Fu Xuechen raised his head and returned a polite smile.

Qi Caiwei lowered her eyes, and almost felt ashamed of Fu Xuechen's beauty. Fortunately, apart from her appearance, she asked herself that she would not lose in her talents, otherwise she would really be discouraged, but she also heard that Fu Xuechen was very outstanding at a young age. Standing out from hundreds of girls' school students with outstanding academic performance, he became a teacher...

It doesn't matter!The name has been fixed and cannot be changed!I'm already destined to be the prince's concubine, no matter how much Yunzhen likes someone else, at most he can only give him the position of side concubine, Qi Caiwei thought about it a few times, and then dropped this matter.

Fu Xuechen frowned slightly. It seemed that this Miss Qi did not seem to be arrogant, but for some reason, she looked at him with a look of scrutiny, and even showed a disdain for thousands of miles away. manner.

Could it be that her background as a noble daughter of martial arts, in the eyes of a girl from a literati family like Qi Caiwei, is synonymous with vulgar martial arts, and isn't it worthy of their favor and friendship?Then this mind is not enough!

There was no dramatic performance plot. Even if Qi Caiwei had any talent, it was not suitable to be displayed in the public. At the same time, she was not kept. She had the opportunity to meet Yunzhen before marriage, and there were a few words during the banquet This opportunity is already the biggest concession that Elder Qi Ge can make.

After the palace banquet was over, Qi Caiwei returned to her hometown with her grandfather and father. She would not be escorted to Beijing until one month before the wedding date, and lived with her parents in the newly bought house in Beijing, waiting for the wedding.

The next day, Yan Siyun listened to the queen's suggestion and planned to visit Yuhuang Mountain, which is a famous Taoist mountain and a scenic spot. Like yesterday, the queen named Yun Zhen and Yun Qi again to accompany her.

Contrary to Yan Siyun's expectation, Yuhuang Mountain is full of tourists, a few of them are local Taoist believers, and the rest are all foreign visitors from all over the world, who come here to worship gods and burn incense.

Several people were mixed among the tourists coming and going, which brought security troubles to the accompanying internal guards. Fortunately, in a famous Taoist mountain like Yuhuang Mountain, it is rare to hear of any bad incidents.

Looking at so many tourists, everyone looked quite relaxed, and the guards didn't do any personal protection, but mixed with the tourists, followed them not far or near, and were sometimes squeezed away by tourists, and sometimes returned. bit.

Ahead is a forest road. The two ends of the steps are covered with green moss. The two sides of the steps are densely forested, and it is indescribably quiet. But in fact, there are still people coming and going on the steps, but compared to the front, the number is much smaller. .

Yan Siyun looked left and right, regretfully said: "The scenery here is really beautiful! There are so many old trees, greenery everywhere, making this stepped forest road feel very Zen! It's just that there are too many tourists. , if there is no one here, only green shade on both sides, a lonely road..."

While she was commenting, she stepped onto the stairs, followed by several people, all of whom showed approval. It was indeed as she said, what a beautiful scenery this is, the ancient tree-lined, stair-like trails, all of which are covered by the front and back at this moment. The endless stream of tourists who climbed the stairs was destroyed.

However, before Yan Siyun finished speaking, he became hasty. Among the tourists heading down the stairs, one of the unremarkable old man in gray clothes suddenly pointed at Yan Siyun and shouted: "That's her!"

Several people were startled when they heard the words, a group of men of different ages, heights, fat and thin shapes suddenly appeared from all directions, holding ropes, kitchen knives and other messy weapons, rushing towards Yan Siyun and Fu Xuechen blah, blah, blah. Seeing this, the surrounding tourists scattered like birds and beasts in fright, and hurriedly fled from the place of right and wrong.

Yan Siyun saw one of them slashing at her with a sharp blade, screamed, and moved behind Yun Qi who was beside him. Yun Qi also stretched out his hand to block her, and kicked the gangster away.

"Stop! Who are you?!" Yun Qi shouted angrily while resisting.

However, instead of being stopped, these people intensified, yelling loudly in a dialect that others could not understand, as if they were going to kill, they came chaotically.

For a while, Yun Qi was in a hurry, but Yan Siyun was clever, retreating again and again, and retreated to Princess Zhiling and Fu Xuechen, the three women huddled together.

Yunzhen has also joined the battle group, tightly guarding the three girls and going down the stairs. Just hold on for a while, and the guards behind will drive away the crowded and fleeing tourists and catch up to come to the rescue.

However, there were a lot of gangsters. Yun Qi in the front blocked at most three, and Yoon Zhen in the back was outstretched. He tried his best to barely stop four gangsters, especially three gangsters, including the old man in gray, took advantage of the gap to attack from time to time.

In the blink of an eye, a rope flew over, entangled Yan Siyun and pulled it out.

Over there, Yunqi saw that in a hurry, he threw the hatchet he had just seized from his hand, and the gangster with the rope quickly dodged and let go of the rope in his hand.

Yan Siyun was pulled and struggled by the rope, lost his balance, and hit Fu Xuechen. Fu Xuechen's feet were unstable, but he staggered two steps due to the force, lost his balance and fell down the stairs, and fell to the side of the road.

"Sister Xuechen!" Princess Zhiling yelled in fright.

Yun Zhen didn't care to stop the rake that was stabbing Yan Siyun, and flew down, just in time for Fu Xuechen to fall down, grabbed her by the waist and sent her back to Princess Zhiling.

Fu Xuechen managed to stand still, when he saw that Yunzhen couldn't dodge in time, and was scratched on his left arm by a dagger in the hand of a gangster.

Fortunately, Yunzhen's skill is still good, he dodged a stick short and kicked the gangster who scratched his left arm off the stairs, but at this moment, the gray-clothed old man touched behind him at some point and raised his hand. Crutches in hand...

"Behind! Be careful!" Fu Xuechen greeted hurriedly.

Yoon Zhen raised his injured left arm, turned around and snatched the long stick from the gangster holding the stick, just crossed his head, and supported the crutch of the old man in gray clothes.

But Fu Xuechen couldn't care less to pay attention to Yunzhen, she was never idle for a moment, while dodging the gangster's attack, she could still protect Princess Zhiling, and occasionally stretched out her foot to kick the gangster, if Yan Siyun behind her suddenly bumped into her, she would have It will not lose the center of gravity and almost fall down the stairs.

After all, he inherited the family martial arts from his original body. Although Fu Xuechen only regards boxing and kicking as a warm-up exercise every morning, the martial arts are actually poorly practiced, but his skills are much more flexible than the daughter of a literati family.

It’s a long story, but in fact, only 2 minutes have passed since the gray-clothed old man’s sudden attack. At the bottom of the stairs, the guards finally arrived, hula-la slashed at the gangsters, and in the blink of an eye, they chopped down a piece of land. .

Yun Qi also withdrew at this time, protecting his face from turning pale, but in fact, Yan Siyun, who was fine and uninjured, joined Yun Zhen, Princess Zhiling and Fu Xuechen, and retreated to a safe place.

"Keep a few alive!" Yun Zhen ordered loudly.

As soon as the words fell, more than a dozen arrows flew from the forest, covering all the gangsters, whether they were down on the ground, those who gave up resistance, or those who were still stubbornly resisting.After a series of screams, all the gangsters were killed by sharp arrows piercing their hearts and throats.
