Chapter 14 Circular Worry
Qin Si quickly returned to the house, with a faint fatigue between his eyebrows. Looking up at the gold-plated plaque, the light sun mixed with the gold fell on the stone lion in front of the general's mansion. The gray-white sphinx softened a little, and Qin Si smiled speechlessly, but his mind thought about today's situation again and again.
In a sudden, a soft and illusory voice rushed to my mind again. Qin Si was slightly stunned and then shook his head. Today, thanks to him, otherwise his forbearance would have turned into nothing. Even if I said a few words casually at that time, it may not be spread.
Ye Yunyi, I will naturally know what kind of existence San Shao is...
Thinking of those shallow eyes, Qin Si's feet were a little faster.
When he arrived in the front hall, Qin Chaoding, the first one in the hall, sat in a brown robe. His face was solemn and he looked thoughtfully at Qin Si, who was approaching from afar.
"Dad, I'm back." The moment Qin Si stepped into the hall, the housekeeper Lin and the two maidservant next to him retreated. Qin Si's eyelashes trembled slightly and stood in front of Qin Chaoding.
The Qin Dynasty must not smile as gently as before, but patted heavily on the table. The celadon engraved with broken flowers jumped and trembled, and the flat mouth of the bowl turned upside down.
"A Li, you have always been particular about poetry. Why would you rather be scolded than write the last song today?" Qin Chaoding's words surprised Qin Si. He thought that his father would not know until tomorrow, but who would have thought that the news would come faster than her.
Qin Si didn't hide anything and said bluntly, "Dad must have forgotten that you told A Li not to communicate with the royal family. Naturally, A Li did not have to show in front of the prince and the third prince. And..." This was Qin Si's heartfelt. On that day, the Qin Dynasty decided to let her follow her mind, so she followed her own thoughts, but when she saw Qin Chaoding's suddenly gloomy face, she stopped talking.
"And what? I told you that many things need to be measured again. The Qin Dynasty did not have the courage of generals at this moment. On the contrary, it was more the calmness of civil servants and counselors. Qin Si is very rare in the Qin Dynasty.
Qin Si moved his eyes up and asked Qin Chaoding's eyes, "What does Dad mean?"
"The news that my Qin family defected to the third prince should not have spread too quickly, but the matter of the third prince taking you to the Flying Tiger Camp has tied us to him, so there were those events a few days ago."
"What does that father think?" Qin Si heard the deep meaning of the words and asked intently.
"Since there is no way out for our Qin family, we will naturally rely on the third prince. Once..." As if with hesitation, the Qin Dynasty took a deep breath and continued to say, "In the past, you were not allowed to have contact with the third prince for fear of implicating you, but you didn't expect that you had been deeply involved in it for a long time. Well, since... since you have feelings for him, Dad will naturally try his best to do it."
"Dad laughed."
Although the Qin Dynasty must have been very careful to stabilize his mood, Qin Si could clearly see the heaviness in it. Her father protected her to the extreme and has always wanted her to get involved in it, but now he has asked her to make friends with the third prince, and even has the meaning of letting her out. Could it be that His Royal Highness is too forceful.
"What does Dad want A Li to do?" Qin Si's voice trembled, and Qin Chaoding's meaning was already very clear.
"Since you have three princes in your heart, with the military power in your father's hands, a prince and concubine is not a problem, so naturally no one will bully you." Qin Chao fixed his eyes down, so that people could not see his expression.
In her previous life, she was very happy about this marriage, but in this life, she must escape. Now she can't escape, and all the tracks coincide. Qi Zhongtian is still the person she wants to marry, but why, there is no particularly strong joy in her heart.
"A Li got it."
Without too much hesitation, Qin Si replied with a smile. The slightly raised eyebrows and lips made people feel willing, but the eyes covered by eyelashes were very indifferent.
"As long as you understand, Dad, you are the only daughter." The Qin Dynasty looked at Qin Si with a little regret in his eyes, but when Qin Si looked at it again, there was nothing left.
"If you are ruthless to the third prince, Dad won't give up on you..."
The heavy sigh fell into Qin Si's ear, as if it were pressed down in Qianjun.
When he entered his room, Qin Si loosened his stiff cheeks.
Nothing has changed. Even if the original intention has changed and the process has changed, the result is the same. So what did she come back for? Why did she try to change her fate?
Countless questions in his heart were shouting, and Qin Si couldn't help humping. The current situation can't change any more. All she can do is continue to follow the current form.
Since His Royal Highness is hostile, Qi Zhongtian is the only one who can save their Qin family. Well, Qin Si sighed. The only blessing was that she finally knew that some dangers were waiting for the opportunity to move in the dark. As long as Qi Zhongtian thought more, it could be avoided.
"Miss is unhappy?" The official who sent the dinner asked carefully.
Qin Si was slightly stunned. Is she unhappy? Reaching to the right cheek, the tentacles are cold. It turned out that she was really unhappy. She didn't want the past to be repeated, but she didn't want to use herself as a bargaining chip. Even if the person I want to marry is my favorite person, I don't want to...
Seeing that Qin Si did not answer, Tianguan put down the tray in his hand and walked to Qin Si, with his eyebrows full of anxiety. Qin Si slowed down and said, "I'm fine. I'm just tired today."
Seeing this, Tianguan was relieved. He walked to Qin Si's back and gently pressed her shoulder blades: "Miss, eat quickly. Don't wait for it to get cold. It hurts your body."
The soft force on the shoulder, accompanied by a soft voice, pressed Qin Si's irritability clean: "Okay." She picked up the wooden chopsticks and her eyes were bright and full of smiles. You know, Qin Si has never been afraid to face the facts.
After the rally, the most popular rumor was not Ye Yunyi, who rarely appeared, but Yu Linglong, the daughter of the Prime Minister, who could not be on par with the talented girl Dong Caiwei. Rumor has it that she is beautiful and talented. It is rumored that she is extremely attracted to the third prince. It is rumored that she came to Beijing this time to marry the prince as a concubine... All kinds of false or real rumors made Yu Linglong quickly become the focus of the aristocrats in Beijing, even far surpassing Dong Caiwei.
A few days later, the Qin Dynasty settled down and invited Qi Zhongtian to the general's mansion. Nominally, it is to discuss the art of war, but in fact, it wants to take this opportunity to explore Qi Zhongtian's mind. Presumably, the Qin Dynasty is also very interested in those rumors.
According to Qin Chaoding's order to change his clothes, Qin Si opened the door and went to the study. Along the way, Lin Bo, the housekeeper beside him, stopped talking. It was not until the door of the study was close in front of him that he approached and said in a low voice, "Miss, the general told me. In any case, the seat of the third prince can's concubine not be given to the Yu family."
Qin Si knew that this Prime Minister Yu was the head of literary ministers in the dynasty, and he was opposed to this group of generals in the Qin Dynasty, and there has always been a court dispute. In the secret struggle between the prince and the third prince, neither of them has ever expressed their position. Now the Qin Dynasty has decided to turn to Qi Zhongtian and become the faction of the third prince, and the choice of Yu Cheng has played an extremely important role.
If Yu Linglong becomes the third prince's concubine, it will not be good for the Qin family.
"Well, I know." He answered casually, and Qin Si frowned invisibly.
The golden embroidered phoenix shoes under his feet stepped up the stone steps. Qin Si staggered his clothes and stood at the door of the study. There seemed to be a faint sound of conversation in the study. Qin Si didn't make a sound. After waiting for a while, the conversation inside stopped. The closed door of the study also opened. The two came out one after another and saw Qin Si standing in front of the door. Qi Zhongtian, the leader, stopped.
Seeing this, Qin Sifu bowed and said, "I have seen the third prince."
Qi Zhongtian stretched out his hand and lifted it up: "A Li doesn't have to hold the ceremony. It's really inconvenient to come forward at the meeting that day. I hope A Li won't be surprised." Even if this was said to Qin Si, it was still said to the Qin Dynasty. And he called Qin Si "A Li" in front of the Qin Dynasty, which was also intended to show his closeness.
He raised his eyes and replied, "The third prince laughed. It's just a small matter." When Qin Si answered, he looked over Qi Zhongtian and looked at Qin Chaoding. His father avoided her eyes, but leaned sideways and said, "Weichen has something to do now. Let the little girl send the third prince out."
Hearing the words, Qi Zhongtian smiled and his resolute face was full of cheerfulness. He raised his voice and said, "General, just go ahead."
"Third Prince, please." Qin Si said with a blessing.
Along the way, Qin Si also followed Qi Zhongtian's side step by step, and the servants beside him felt that they were far behind, and the tense emotions made her feel suffocating.
Suddenly, Qi Zhongtian laughed and said, "Li, I want to thank you more this time to help me convince your father, which makes my chances of winning much bigger."
At first glance, Qin Si flashed, and soon she understood that in the Tianxiang Building, Qi Zhongtian once asked her "how things were going", and now he said he wanted to thank her. From the beginning, what Qi Zhongtian asked Qin Si to do was to persuade the Qin Dynasty to decide? At that time, it was just a vague guess, but now it has come to practice.
Qin Si's face did not recover. This fell into Qi Zhongtian's eyes and made him unhappy: "What's wrong?"
The voice was as calm as ever, and Na Ying's posture was very compelling. Qin Si shook his head and said, "No, it's just that I suddenly thought of the third prince's chance of winning."
"Well, this chance of winning is bound to be mine. As for you, I promised to marry you as a concubine and naturally do it. With that, Qi Zhongtian seemed to be quite cheerful and went out with a smile.
It turned out that this was the deal between Qin Si and Qi Zhongtian, exchanging the position of imperial concubine for the support of the Qin Dynasty.
"Hmm." Thinking of this deal, Qin Si really couldn't say anything grateful. She lowered her eyes and hummed. Sending Qi Zhong to the sky, the sound of the wheel tossing and turning went away. Qin Si's body suddenly became heavy and staggered under his feet. If he hadn't supported the wall, he would have fallen down. Qin Si leaned against the closed crimson door, and she hugged herself tightly.
It turns out that the changes in this life are all caused by her...
