I hide my concubine in a golden house

Chapter 38

"It's an old problem, and it's hard to change. It's not as precious as our Ninth Prince's natural life."

"Speak up if you have something to say." Quan Jue glanced at him: "Don't hide your mother's words."

Ren Jingsheng was taken aback by Quan Juan's sudden slang, and was amused: "Yo, our ninth brother still swears?"

Quan Juan's face was dark: "The one who is close to the ink is black."

"I let you talk, why don't you take care of things..." As he spoke, Ren Jingsheng's voice gradually dropped, and he pulled up a chair and sat down heavily: "Stop talking, it's annoying."

"Why don't you say it? Say it." Quan Juan looked at him and said slowly.

"Is this what you told me to say?"

"Say."

Ren Jingsheng went all out, and said: "I just can't figure it out, you can live with such a meek life? I was ready to throw off my arms and have a big fight with you, but when I look back, you are content with the status quo. Why, I am used to eating soft rice, my fighting spirit has faded away, and my previous ambitions have been eaten by dogs? Let me tell you, Quan Juan, the one who can convince me is the Ninth Prince who is ambitious and will surely be able to reach the top of the ninth and fifth ranks. Absolutely Not a son-in-law who only hides behind women. Even if you can bear this kind of life, I can't bear it!"

Quan Juan didn't raise his head, just sat there, tapping his fingertips on the teapot rhythmically, again and again, and when Ren Jingsheng finished speaking, he raised his head and glanced at Ren Jingsheng: "Is it finished?"

Ren Jingsheng spoke boldly and happily, but after he finished speaking, he felt a little regretful, so he could only bite the bullet and say, "It's over, why, let's fight?"

Quan Juan narrowed his eyes slightly: "Don't fight."

"..."

Quan Jue reached out and poured two cups of tea, and pushed a cup to Ren Jingsheng: "I can't bear it."

"Ok?"

"I said I can't bear it, Ah Sheng, but what if I can't bear it?" Quan Juan lowered his eyelids slightly, his long eyelashes cast a shadow under his eyelids, looking very quiet... very helpless.

Ren Jingsheng looked soft-hearted: "Quan..."

With a sound of "bang--", the smoking cup of tea was violently swept to the ground by Quan Juan. He stood up and stepped on the broken porcelain all over the floor: "But in the current situation, you Do you want me to kill the father and the king?"

Killing the father and killing the king?
The Northern Ming Dynasty has always ruled the country with filial piety, at least on the surface. If you go to power with such a crime on your back, it will be directly given the name of crusade by everyone.

Just like right now—both jade and stone are destroyed.

The official boots in the palace were made of light and thin, and the sharp tiles pierced through the soles. When Quan Juan moved his feet, there were obvious blood stains on the tiles, like plum blossoms blooming in the snow, with bright colors.

Ren Jingsheng shivered violently, and said, "I didn't think so."

He just felt aggrieved for Quan Cong. He was obviously a serious prince, but he was more aggrieved than anyone else in the past ten years, and he was even pushed out for thousands of years.

Ren Jingsheng slapped himself indifferently, and said dejectedly: "I'm used to it, I can't speak out of my head. Don't be as knowledgeable as I am in what I said before."

Squinting his eyes slightly, Quan Juan had no expression on his face, and said in a hoarse voice, "You didn't say anything wrong."

"I..." Ren Jingsheng moved his lips, not knowing what to say.

"But it's true that you're stupid."

"..." Can you still have fun!

Ren Jingsheng took a deep breath: "I think we can get over this topic."

Quan Yi leaned back lazily on the back of the chair, and said in a tired voice: "A Sheng, I'm a little tired today, you should go back first."

"Oh..." Ren Jingsheng obediently responded, always feeling like he forgot something, took two steps before remembering, and suddenly turned around: "Where are you going back, I was interrupted by you like this, I almost forgot that I didn't talk about my business." .”

"Well...you tell me." Quan Juan propped his head up and looked at him lazily, and made a perfunctory sound without interest.

Speaking of business, Ren Jingsheng's expression became more serious, and he took out an invitation card from his arms: "This year is the first year of good relations between the two countries. The king sent someone to give the crown daughter a birthday gift. It was originally for civil servants. But that group of cowardly people are scheming and figuring all day long, but they don’t want to come. I have nothing to do, so I volunteered to come and see you. I have already explained this in the letter, and you know it too, but There is another thing that you must not know."

Quan Juan flipped through the roster of envoys attached to the invitation, and then returned it to him: "Where are the rest of the envoys?"

"Those burdens are still on the way, so I entered the city first by myself." Ren Jingsheng said dryly, and after drinking the tea Quan Juan poured, he poured himself another cup, not polite at all. : "I said that I also accepted a secret mission this time, aren't you curious?"

Ren Jingsheng deliberately didn't say anything about the task, just to whet Quan's appetite.

Quan Yu said: "When you go back, you will report to him, saying that you are not good at home, and no one can be found."

"Tsk tsk." Ren Jingsheng shook his head: "That's why Quan Juan, I don't like dealing with people like you the most. You're too smart to be interesting."

Quan Yan snorted: "What about the things I asked you to bring?"

"...Ah, here." Ren Jingsheng just remembered this matter, and took out a sealed oil-paper package from his arms with extreme disgust.

Quan Juan opened the oiled paper package layer by layer, revealing the whole size of small milky white squares inside: "Okay, you can go."

Ren Jingsheng sized him up and took a panoramic view of Quan Juan's every move: "Don't you not like sweets, you brought them for the tenth princess?"

"No." Quan Yi replied, and slowly folded the oiled paper bag.

"Then... my Ninth Prince, don't tell me you've taken a fancy to that Qianqiu princess?" Ren Jingsheng suddenly exclaimed.

Squinting his dark eyes slightly, Quan Yu was absent-minded for a moment.After a pause, he calmly said just now: "If you don't want to die, just keep your mouth shut."

Ren Jingsheng covered his mouth, blinked his eyes, and couldn't help but say after a while: "Isn't it possible? You said that a female prince has to be big and thick to be able to live in the scene? Or do you like this kind of thing?"

Quan Jue swept over with a horizontal eyebrow.

Ren Jingsheng raised his hand and made a gesture of sealing his mouth: "Let's go, I'll take a walk around the General's Mansion."

As he said that, he turned over and disappeared into the window, his figure was crisp and neat.Although Ren Jingsheng's words were a little more casual, his reputation as a thief is not in vain.

……

……

The hall of Chongren is already busy now, because His Royal Highness the Empress Dowager came back from outside.

The imperial doctor had just diagnosed and treated her, she was deficient in Qi and blood, and the sprain on her ankle was also dragging a bit seriously. Now it is swollen like a big ripe pear, and it looks frighteningly tight.

When Quan Yu entered Chongren Hall, he didn't see anyone, and he didn't take his eyes off him. He walked quietly all the way with his hands behind his back, without making any movement.
