Chapter 373: The lesbian prince Qin Run of the Great Qi Dynasty holds a fan,...
Qin Run fanned Xu Yunfan intermittently, "No, Yun Shen meant that Lord Jiang was a little worried after learning about the Dashang incident. Yun Shen is already in his twenties. If Uncle really takes over Dad's responsibility, Yun Shen will only have two choices: either follow him to the border or stay in Beijing and live as a widow. This is the first option. The second option is that Lord Jiang is worried that Grandpa and the others will put pressure on Yun Shen, expecting him to carry on the Qin family line. This would put a lot of pressure on Yun Shen."
"How could that be? The grandfathers are all very open-minded people. Aren't boys, sons, and daughters the same? But Lord Jiang's concerns are understandable. Who would be willing to let his own brother go to the border to suffer? From Lord Jiang's perspective, it's understandable that he would hesitate. But the most important thing about this matter is what Yun Shen thinks. If this war breaks out, it's not like Uncle can replace Dad just because he wants to. Military operations don't rely solely on force. Uncle has no systematic training and no experience. How could Dad just hand over the burden to him? Lord Jiang is just too concerned and his IQ is a bit off."
"That's what you said. Then I'll ask Grandpa to go talk to Mr. Jiang again."
Xu Yunfan narrowed his eyes, propped up his head with one hand, and his gaze fell on Qin Run, scanning him from head to toe. "Well, if grandpa and the others can't do it, I'll take the trouble to take some time out of my busy schedule to come visit them in person and finalize this matter for them. After all, I married such a beautiful and capable grandson, so I should be more concerned. Run'er, why do you seem to be getting more and more handsome?"
Xu Yunfan was not saying this to coax people, but was sincere. Qin Run used to look a bit like Qin Feiyu, but the more Xu Yunfan looked at him recently, the more he found that this man seemed to look more and more like Xiao Hengzhi, but those narrow and seductive eyes still looked very much like Qin Feiyu. In addition, Qin Run was now doing big business, and his temperament had changed. Xu Yunfan didn't dare to look at Qin Run like this for too long.
On the other hand, Qin An, who used to look more like Xiao Hengzhi, now looks more like Qin Feiyu. Xu Yunfan couldn't figure it out. Maybe Qin Run has grown up?
"Really?" Qin Run leaned over and approached Xu Yunfan, deliberately breathing on Xu Yunfan's face, with a teasing intention. "Then look at me, do you have any other ideas?"
Xu Yunfan was amused. He reached out and curled up Qin Run's long hair that fell on her chest and played with it. "What do you think? Do you want to see for yourself whether I have any feelings for you? Come on, I'm lying down."
“Hehe~”
Qin Run laughed out loud and pointed his index finger at Xu Yunfan's chest, "Shameless!"
Xu Yunfan laughed, "A shy man gets no meat to eat. You know I love eating you the most, even my face is gone."
…
In a blink of an eye, the time of the Great Qi Kingdom finally arrived in Beijing.
This time, in addition to several envoys, the crown prince and the second prince of the Great Qi Kingdom also came.
The Great Qi State was the largest country in the world, and it was prosperous and peaceful. The Emperor of the Great Qi State had one queen, four imperial concubines, and dozens of concubines and beauties. Logically speaking, with so many beauties, the last thing the Emperor of the Great Qi State lacked was offspring.
However, according to rumors, the Queen of Qi was a jealous and cruel person. Once other imperial concubines became pregnant, these children would be killed by the Queen without anyone knowing. Such a queen should have been deposed long ago. For murdering a prince, the whole family would be executed.
But for some reason, the Queen of Qi is still the Queen of Qi, and her position is as solid as a mountain. The Emperor of Qi has been favoring her for ten years, and other ministers dare not speak out against her, for fear that their heads will be moved before the Queen of Qi steps down. This shows how powerful this person is.
The four princes of the Great Qi Kingdom were all born to the Queen of Qi, so their status was as stable as Mount Tai.
Xu Yunfan sat in the hall with no manners, slouching carelessly on the chair, looking like he had been emptied out. Seeing this, Fu Qingyu wanted to kick him, "Sit properly, kid. Look at you, what a mess you make."
"Well, there's no one else here, so just do whatever's comfortable for you. I've been standing for so long today, and you, who's sitting, can't understand how hard it's been."
At court today, the civil and military officials debated the matter of the envoy from the Great Qi State for the entire morning. Although Xu Yunfan had practiced this before, he relaxed now and became lazy.
This time, a crown prince and a prince came from Da Qi. It seems that they have bad intentions.
The crown prince of a country is like a national treasure. But when such a national treasure goes abroad, the escort team is huge. If they lose a hair in Dayan, I am afraid that both countries will cause trouble.
Some ministers in the court hinted that Xu Yunfan was causing too much trouble, and they thought it would be better to give him a vacation recently.
Some ministers were dissatisfied. What does this mean?
So, if someone steps on your head, you just have to swallow your anger and that's not a bad thing, right?
You are all bastards. Why didn't you stand up when the big businessman was here? It was Xu Yunfan who stood up to save Dayan's face, but he saved the wrong person?
Xiao Hengzhi sneered at the time, "You've saved your face. Some people are just too thick-skinned and say shameless things."
Fu Qingxu said coldly, "Since Lord Lu has said so, when the envoys from Da Qi arrive, you will be responsible for entertaining them. How do you think?"
Lord Lu, Lu Xiao's uncle, was also the Right Prime Minister's man. After being bombarded by the two princes in turn, Lord Lu did not dare to stand out.
It is true that the first bird to stick its head out gets shot.
Now that Xu Yunfan has become a relative of the Xie and Lin families, his status in the court has become even more extraordinary. Even if the old right prime minister is not convinced, he has to hold it in.
The people from Da Qi will arrive tomorrow. Fu Qingyu couldn't understand after thinking about it over and over again. Is it possible that a prince of a country has so much free time? What is the purpose of coming all the way to Dayan? Is there something he wants?
Xu Yunfan waved his hand lazily, "No matter why he came here, we'll see him tomorrow anyway, so why are you worrying about it?"
Looking at the person who spoke without any hesitation, Fu Qingyu felt depressed.
…
"Brother, is this the capital of Dayan? It looks no worse than our Kyoto!"
The Second Prince of Daqi was only eighteen years old, an age that should be full of vigor and vitality, but he looked frail and sickly. Meanwhile, the Crown Prince of Daqi beside him looked tired, but in good spirits. "You, even though Dayan is the weakest of the four great kingdoms, its strength should not be underestimated. We're on their territory, so be careful with your words. My Queen Mother always said, 'Misfortune comes from the mouth.' She reminded us of this, so don't forget."
The reason why the Crown Prince of Da Qi went on this diplomatic mission was that he was curious about why Dayan had made such a big fuss recently. Not only did they sell medicine to Dongwu, but they also sold salt to other small countries. I heard that the people on their side also sold the everlasting flowers and red wine that were only available in Da Qi.
There is no shortage of talented people in this world, but the Queen Mother was extremely excited and even wanted to come and see for herself. However, it was not convenient for the mother of a country to come, so she asked him to bring his second brother with him. Perhaps they could meet this extraordinary person, and maybe his second brother could be saved.
Yes, the second prince of Da Qi was born with a hidden illness. My mother said that it cannot be cured with their current technology.
In the eyes of these sons, their mother is more powerful than their father. Whatever their mother says is the truth. Hasn't the emperor seen that their father has to be humble in front of their mother?
The Second Prince of Daqi answered yes obediently before lowering the carriage curtain. It would be a long carriage ride from the city gate to the palace. He picked up a picture book beside him with great interest and read it, praising it loudly, "Brother, this picture book of the Great Yan Dynasty is really beautiful. It has things like achieving enlightenment and becoming an immortal, slaying immortals with one sword, 30 years in the east, 30 years in the west, and 'Don't Despise the Young for Being Poor'. It really makes my blood boil and I can't stop reading. Do these worlds really exist? How come they are so realistic? I can't find any loopholes. It's really beautiful."
The Crown Prince of Da Qi nodded in agreement: "It is indeed beautiful."
It's so beautiful. What should have been a long and boring journey actually felt less unbearable because of the existence of the picture book. Look, we have only read half of the new picture book when we arrived at the capital of Dayan. We can no longer read the rest of the journey properly. This is really a very painful thing.
"Brother, I heard that these picture books all come from the same book factory. And we saw so many books in the bookstore that day, all kinds of books, all types. They said that all came from the book factory. It's really strange. How big must this book factory be to produce so many books every day? And did these copyists learn from the same teacher? The handwriting is exactly the same." The second prince of Da Qi was very curious about this. It seemed that since he entered Dayan, he had turned into a cat, and he would ask curiously about everything he saw.
The Crown Prince of Da Qi felt the words on the notebook and felt inexplicably annoyed: "Didn't you go abroad without your brain? Didn't the Queen Mother tell you that this is printing technology, don't you understand? Why can't you remember it?"
They were all born from the same mother and father, but he couldn't understand why the second child was born dumber than them.
Oh, it’s not appropriate to say that he is stupid. It’s just that his brain can’t hold anything. What he says goes in one ear and out the other. He remembers it today and forgets it tomorrow.
But this person can't remember things about study, but he can never forget delicious food or fun things. He has been beaten by his father countless times since he was a child, but he still doesn't learn his lesson.
The whole family is puzzled as to why the second child selectively remembers unimportant things and forgets important things.
As for the third and fourth children, there is no need to mention them at all. It makes me tired to talk about them too much.
"Brother, it's not that I can't remember. I want to remember it, but those things slipped away on their own and I couldn't catch them. A forced melon is not sweet. I'm not the kind of person who would force others to do anything."
“又开始胡说八道了，父皇那么爱揍你，你屁股能吃那么多竹笋炒肉也不是没有原因的。”
The Second Prince of Daqi was unable to refute and said angrily, "Brother, you don't love me at all."
"If you say you don't love me, then don't love me. I don't have the energy to love you anymore. Okay, I know you don't understand, and you won't understand even if I say more." This was said bluntly.
The Crown Prince of Daqi was exhausted. Why had he, a Crown Prince, come all the way to Dayan? It was all for this kid, and yet he said he didn't love him anymore. What a jerk.
Two hours later, the carriages of Da Qi finally arrived at the palace gate. Of course, if the officers and soldiers responsible for maintaining order in the city had not "cleared" the streets in advance to allow these carriages to pass quickly, I'm afraid they would have had to wait a while longer.
The Crown Prince of Daqi, Meng Zhongsi, got off the carriage first, and then helped the Second Prince of Daqi, Jiang Zhongnian, down. "Be careful, take your time, don't fall."
"Brother, I know, you don't need to be so nervous." Jiang Zhongnian didn't think much of it. Although his health wasn't good, it wasn't so bad that he had to be like a porcelain doll and needed to be cautious all the time.
As soon as he got off the carriage, Jiang Zhongnian looked forward. Then, his breathing suddenly became heavier, and he shook Jiang Zhongsi's arm frantically, "Brother, look, who is that person? Is he the one who came to take us to the palace? Oh, I heard them say that a man who is more handsome than Prince Xiao came to Dayan, but I didn't believe it. Today... Oh, this person is so handsome, he really has become the apple of my eye."
"Don't do anything rash. This is Prince Xiao's son-in-law. I heard that Prince Xiao loves this brother and son-in-law very much. If you dare to set your sights on Prince Xiao's son-in-law, you'll be punished." Before coming to Dayan, Jiang Zhongsi did a lot of homework. When he saw someone who could make a man like him feel bright, and the other party was so young, it must be the famous Xu Yunfan, who was the first person in Dayan's history to take the position of Junior Master at the age of 19.
These prefixes used to introduce Xu Yunfan are relatively few. You know, the information Jiang Zhongsi saw was even more exaggerated, such as "Wenquxing descended to the earth", "both civil and military", "the best in Dayan", "as handsome as a banished immortal", etc. It seemed like bragging and exaggeration.
Now that he saw the person, Jiang Zhongsi discovered that those exaggerated words of praise were indeed true.
But this is a bit bad.
His second brother doesn't like girls or boys, he just likes boys.
Of course, there is nothing wrong with liking men. After all, it is not a crime. But he likes good-looking men, especially men like King Xiao and Xu Yunfan who are elegant, gentle and dignified.
Jiang Zhongnian sighed, and a layer of red spread across his pale face. "Brother, look at what you said. Don't you know who I am?"
He is the kind of person who has the desire but not the courage. He usually just looks at handsome men to satisfy his eyes. However, he is in poor health and he is a prince, so he dare not do anything wrong.
"Hey, brother, look, he's looking over here and noticed us." Jiang Zhongnian quickly tidied herself up, looking like she was going to meet her boyfriend, feeling both excited and nervous.
Jiang Zhongnian shook his head helplessly and walked forward with the other envoys.
As the junior master, Xu Yunfan was definitely not needed in this matter, but Fu Qingyu still asked Xu Yunfan to come along.
"Crown Prince of Qi, Second Prince of Qi, long time no see." Xiao Hengzhi had gone to Da Qi to seek medical treatment before and had met the two of them. Jiang Zhongsi was only eleven years old that year, and now he is in his early twenties and has grown into a handsome young man.
Jiang Zhongsi greeted Xiao Hengzhi with a happy smile, as if they were long-lost relatives and friends. "Prince Xiao, it's been a long time since we last met. You look much better than you were a few years ago."
Xiao Hengzhi glanced at the smiling figure beside Jiang Zhongsi and said, "This must be the Second Prince, right? He has grown so much in the past few years."
However, Jiang Zhongsi, who is in his twenties, said with emotion: "Yes, time is unforgiving. In the blink of an eye, we are all old."
Xu Yunfan: “…”
If you say something like that, people who don’t know you would think you are in your forties or fifties.
After greeting Xiao Hengzhi, Jiang Zhongnian's gaze fell on Xu Yunfan again, "Prince Xiao, the person next to you must be Master Xu, right?"
"Yes, this is our dynasty's young master Xu Yunfan."
Xiao Hengzhi stepped aside to make way for him. Xu Yunfan stepped forward, clasped his fists, and performed a civil official salute. "Greetings to the Crown Prince Qi and the Second Prince."
