Chapter 148 Sacrifice too much for the eldest brother to marry a daughter-in-law!
Tang Zong's episode passed quickly, and no one took him seriously.
No matter what people are thinking in their hearts, everyone's face in this hall is full of kindness. Even if they hate you in their hearts, they still smile brightly at you.
After watching too much, Qin Zhen felt it was boring.
She looked around and saw that no one was paying attention to her, so she grabbed the boiled water on the table and slipped out along the side.
She wanted to find a quiet place to pass the time, but she heard voices as soon as she walked not far away.
This voice sounded quite familiar to Qin Zhen, like her elder brother.
Qin Yi's voice at this moment was no less gentle and gentle than in front of Qin Zhen, like a scholar: "Zhen Zhen is willful, thank you for your hard work."
Immediately afterwards, it was Xiao Yu's voice: "It's not hard, this is what I should do. After all, I will be her sister-in-law in the future, and we are a family. Naturally, I have to protect her."
Qin Yi seemed very satisfied, sighed and said, "It would be nice if she was half as sensible as you."
Xiao Yu quickly said: "Actually, she is also very sensible, otherwise my father would not dote on her so much."
…
Qin Zhen: "..."
Good guy, does her eldest brother have two faces? And this princess Xiao Yu, who has the same nose and eyes as she does in front of her, but she still pretends to be well-behaved and sensible in front of her eldest brother?
Qin Zhen couldn't listen anymore, so she cleared her throat and coughed loudly.
The conversation between the two people over there stopped, and then Qin Zhen heard footsteps.
Qin Yi and Xiao Yu walked over together.
When Xiao Yu saw Qin Zhen, his face felt a little uncomfortable and he shrank towards Qin Yi.
Qin Yi patted Xiao Yu's shoulder and comforted her gently: "It's okay, she doesn't dare to bully you."
Xiao Yu looked at Qin Yi with a moved expression.
Qin Zhen: "..."
Qin Yi looked at Qin Zhen with some disgust: "Why are you here?"
Qin Zhen was almost laughed out of anger.
The two of them were secretly hiding there and talking bad about themselves. Now that they were caught, they didn't feel guilty at all. Why did they blame themselves for showing up at the wrong time?
Qin Zhen looked at him, then at Xiao Yu, and finally couldn't bear to interfere with her elder brother's good deeds, and said angrily: "I don't know where to find a hidden place? That's me, what if it were someone else?"
"
"Why, do you want to follow in the footsteps of the prince?" Qin Zhen glared at Qin Yi and said, "If you really love and protect her, you should think about her reputation."
Qin Yi's eyes moved slightly, and after a while he said: "I didn't think carefully."
Xiao Yu quickly said: "I don't blame you, I was also wrong."
The two looked at each other with affection.
Qin Zhen couldn't bear it and waved her hand: "Whatever, just pretend I haven't been here."
After saying that, he turned around and left.
After taking a few steps, I could still hear Xiao Yu's cautious voice: "Your sister won't be angry, right?"
Then came her brother's heartless voice: "It's okay, she won't be so stingy."
Qin Zhen: "..."
She couldn't help but quicken her pace, wanting to leave this place quickly.
She doesn't want to be a fuel for other people's love at all.
Why should I sacrifice myself when they are in love with each other?
Qin Zhen can’t understand!
In order to find a wife for her brother, she risked her life.
Qin Zhen quickly left this inhumane place, walked around and around, and unexpectedly arrived at the backyard.
She carried the wine bottle filled with boiled water, found a fairly flat stone, and lay down without any image.
She looked up at the stars in the sky and couldn't help but think that at this time last year, she was still in Longhu Mountain. So many things had happened in just one year.
As she watched, the starry sky above her head suddenly darkened, and someone stuck their head out to block her view of the starry sky.
Qin Zhen squinted her eyes and stared at the big head for a while, then slowly said: "Your Royal Highness..."
Xiao Yao laughed and said, "It's such a coincidence that I meet you here."
Qin Zhen didn't get up, but said lazily: "It's fate."
Xiao Yao looked at her for a while, then sat down next to her.
Xiao Yao also held a wine bottle in his hand. He raised his head and took a sip before saying, "No one has drank with me for a long time."
Qin Zhen said nothing.
Xiao Yao stopped talking.
He took a sip of wine from time to time, and he didn't know how long it took. Xiao Yao suddenly said: "Every year, my mother will attend the New Year's Eve banquet with my father. When the banquet is over, my mother will pull me and secretly stuff her with a piece of wine."
The New Year’s money given to me.”
"She was afraid that I would drink too much at the banquet, so she would send the maids around her to keep an eye on me secretly. Sometimes she would even replace the wine in my flask with boiled water."
Having said this, Xiao Yao couldn't help but smile.
Qin Zhen's eyes moved slightly, and she unconsciously took a sip of... plain water from her wine flask. She frowned at first, and then she couldn't help laughing.
"That's quite excessive..."
Replacing the wine with boiled water or something is too much.
Xiao Yao said: "It's not too much, she just loves me."
Qin Zhen: "..."
She said nothing, staring blankly at the boiled water in her hand.
After a while, Xiao Yao suddenly said: "But, I drank so much, and no one came to stop me, and no one replaced the wine with boiled water for me... and no one gave me more New Year's money."
His voice is very soft, and if you listen carefully, you can still hear a trace of vibrato.
Qin Zhen was silent for a while, and then said: "My condolences."
Xiao Yao turned to look at her, his eyes a little red: "Actually, you don't like her, right?"
Qin Zhen said nothing.
"I know that many people don't like her. Some of the things she did are indeed excessive." Xiao Yao said softly, "But she is the person who loves me most in the world and is my queen mother."
Qin Zhen was noncommittal.
Xiao Yao raised his head and took another sip of wine, then smiled self-deprecatingly: "Why am I telling you this?"
He stood up, staggered a few steps forward, then suddenly stopped, turned his back to Qin Zhen, and said, "I'm sorry about the marriage..."
After saying this, he staggered away carrying the wine bottle.
When the people walked away, Qin Zhen sighed and thought: It is not appropriate for her to go out tonight.
She should just stay at the banquet and not come out, so she wouldn't encounter these bad things one after another.
Thinking of this, Qin Zhen got up and walked back.
On the other side, Xiao Yao walked forward in confusion while carrying a wine flask, and unknowingly came to the Changchun Palace where the Queen lived before her death.
This place was so prosperous when the Queen was here, but it is so depressed now.
On New Year's Eve, there was only an old lantern hanging at the door. When the wind blew, the sparks inside were clearly extinguished, as if they could be extinguished at any time.
In previous years, this place would have been brightly lit and bustling with people, but now it was so quiet that no one could be heard.
Xiao Yao stood at the door for a moment and couldn't help but push the door open and enter.
He originally thought that there was no one here, but he didn't expect to see someone burning paper in the yard with his head down.
Xiao Yao frowned, walked over, and asked in a deep voice: "What are you doing?"
