Chapter 301 Second Prince VS Qin Qingyuan
"Thank you for your hard work, my lady!"
Qin Qingyuan felt that the emperor and the empress would keep Gu Yunfei in the palace for lunch and rest after the meal, so he came directly to pick her up.
Qin Qingyuan works in the Ministry of Revenue, and his boss is his father-in-law Gu Ting. Qin Qingyuan usually works diligently and never comes late or leaves early, so Gu Ting doesn't care if something happens occasionally.
Besides, the son-in-law greeted him and went to pick up his daughter. What could he say?
"It's not hard for me to come to the palace. Instead, it's my husband who's hard on duty and has to come pick me up."
Gu Yunfei felt better when she saw Qin Qingyuan.
"Jun'er meets her cousin-in-law!" A round little head popped out from behind the nanny.
Zhao Jun, the second prince of the current dynasty, the second son of the emperor and the queen, is just five years old this year.
His favorite people are the Crown Prince and his cousin Gu Yunfei. Today, Gu Yunfei came into the palace and made a fuss about leaving, so Gu Yunfei took him out.
"Your Majesty, I pay my respects to the Second Prince!" Although Qin Qingyuan was confused, he was at the palace gate, so he quickly saluted after he came to his senses.
"You don't have to be polite, cousin-in-law. You married my cousin, and we are all family. No need to be polite!"
Zhao Jun felt that if she treated her cousin's husband nicer, he would treat her cousin nicer, and it didn't matter whether they were polite or not.
"Thank you, Second Prince!" How could Qin Qingyuan not bow? If someone with ulterior motives saw him, they would report him.
Zhao Jun felt wronged instantly, and pulled Gu Yunfei's sleeve and asked pitifully, "Cousin, does my cousin-in-law dislike me?"
That little expression looked so aggrieved. Gu Yunfei loved him to begin with, so she had never seen him look like that before. She quickly squatted down to coax him.
"Our Jun'er is so cute, how could my cousin-in-law not like you? But can we be careful outside?"
Gu Yunfei's voice was gentle, and Zhao Jun was instantly happy after being coaxed by his cousin.
"Okay then, I'll forgive my cousin-in-law."
Qin Qingyuan was a little amused and helpless. He didn't do anything, but why was he reported by this little guy?
This is what my sister often calls the green tea constitution. The way to deal with green tea is to follow the path of green tea and leave green tea with no way to go.
When Qin Qingyuan looked at Gu Yunfei again, his expression was even more aggrieved than Zhao Jun's just now.
"My lady, I don't dislike my second cousin, but when we are outside, we still have to remember the etiquette between the monarch and his subjects."
This time, Qin Qingyuan listened to Zhao Jun's words and stopped calling him "Second Prince". Instead, he directly changed his address to "Second Cousin".
Gu Yunfei had just coaxed the younger one, and now she had to coax the older one.
In the end, the two aggrieved men insisted on squeezing into a carriage with him and returning to the Qin Mansion together.
"You have your own carriage, so why are you sharing one with me and my cousin?"
Zhao Jun asked somewhat unhappily as he looked at Qin Qingyuan who was competing with him for his cousin.
"Can't I ride in a carriage with my wife?" Qin Qingyuan looked at Zhao Jun with a face full of grievance.
Zhao Jun was stunned by Qin Qingyuan's question for a moment. His cousin had already married his cousin-in-law, so it seemed that they should ride in a carriage, just like his father who stuck to his mother every day.
Zhao Jun felt a little guilty for a moment and began to reflect on whether he had gone too far.
Qin Qingyuan quietly moved closer to his wife, his expression even a little proud. A five-year-old child is indeed a five-year-old child, and is still easy to fool.
Gu Yunfei was really at a loss for words. Where was her calm and composed husband?
"How old are you this year, husband?" Gu Yunfei asked jokingly.
Qin Qingyuan originally had a smug look on his face, but when his wife asked him how old he was, he felt a little embarrassed and his ears turned red.
"You're so old, but you're still competing for favor with your cousin. If my husband hadn't said it, I would have thought he was only five years old."
Gu Yunfei's joke made Qin Qingyuan's face turn red, and Zhao Jun next to him also understood.
Covering her mouth with her hands, she laughed, “My cousin-in-law is the same age as me!”
"I can live with my wife every day, but you can't!"
Qin Qingyuan felt that since there were no outsiders around, it didn't matter and he just had to be thick-skinned.
This sentence directly touched Zhao Jun's sensitive nerves. He immediately became unhappy and pulled Gu Yunfei's sleeve to beg.
"Cousin, when I grow up I will marry you so that we can live together every day."
Gu Yunfei really couldn't help laughing this time and laughed out loud. Qin Qingyuan felt that it was a good thing that this boy was young, otherwise he would be a really scary rival in love.
After all, there are quite a few cousins getting married.
"You have no chance. I will not divorce my wife." Qin Qingyuan directly declared his sovereignty.
"Jun'er, your cousin's husband and I were married by our uncle. We will be together for the rest of our lives and cannot be separated."
Gu Yunfei directly brought up the emperor, just to make her cousin give up.
"Father is bad. Jun'er is angry. Don't pay attention to him. When I return to the palace, I will complain to Mother about Father."
Zhao Jun couldn't understand why his father wanted to marry his cousin to his cousin's husband.
"My wife, you can't abandon me, otherwise I will go to my parents-in-law to complain."
Qin Qingyuan felt that who was afraid of who. It was great that you had the emperor's support, but he had his father-in-law's support. His father-in-law would confront everyone in court every day.
Gu Yunfei looked at her cousin Zhao Jun, then at Qin Qingyuan, and decided to close her eyes and rest.
These two people are just bored and have nothing better to do. And they really know how to choose their backers.
It's a 50-50 match between her uncle and her father, and it's not certain who will win or lose.
Gu Yunfei ordered the coachman to go directly to the Princess's Mansion. She felt that she was in dire straits at this moment and had to send her cousin home.
"Jun'er, Brother Yunlang misses you so much. Can I take you to see your brother Yunlang today?"
"Really? I miss Brother Yunlang too. The kite he gave me last time flew really high."
When Zhao Jun heard that he was going to find his cousin Yunlang, he was extremely happy, especially because the kite that Gu Yunlang brought him when he went to the palace last time was flying very high.
"Ahem." Qin Qingyuan coughed twice, cleared his throat, and said, "I made Yunlang's kite. I can also make kites that fly higher."
"Wow, really? My cousin-in-law is so awesome! Can you make me a kite that flies higher?"
Zhao Jun's mind was now full of thoughts about kites flying higher, and he had forgotten that he had to compete with Qin Qingyuan for his cousin's wife.
"You stay with your brother Yunlang today. Tomorrow is a day off. I'll go back and prepare. I'll come to the Princess's Mansion tomorrow morning to teach you, okay?"
Qin Qingyuan didn't really have a conflict with Xiaotuanzi, he just felt that no one could compete with him for his wife.
"Don't worry, cousin-in-law. I will stay at my aunt's house and wait for you and cousin to come."
Zhao Jun was happy. He felt that this cousin-in-law was of some use other than competing with him for his cousin.
After the kite is made, he will try to fly it. If it really flies higher, then he will reluctantly acknowledge him as his cousin's husband.
After all, I can continue to help him make kites in the future.
Qin Qingyuan breathed a sigh of relief when he saw that he agreed. Finally, no one would disturb him and his wife tonight.
