Xiao Chengye glared at Qin Zhen: "If I don't give it to you, am I being stingy?"
Qin Zhen: "Then why didn't Father give it to me?"
"you……"
"My father is rich all over the world. He is reluctant to give me even one or two small things. He really doesn't love me anymore." Qin Zhen curled her lips and said, "That's right. Your Majesty has so many children. If you have more than me, you won't have more. If you don't have me, you won't have more."
few."
After that, he just stood there in a daze, neither eating nor talking.
Xiao Chengye stared at her for a long time, then turned to Gao Cheng and said, "Look at her and listen to what she said!"
Gao Cheng narrowed his eyes and only responded without saying a word.
After a while, Xiao Chengye said angrily: "Forget it, I owe you."
He turned around and winked at Gao Cheng.
Gao Cheng immediately turned around and went out, and soon he was holding a small box and placed it on the table.
As soon as the small box arrived, Qin Zhen's eyes were glued to the box, but she kept her mouth tight and remained silent.
Xiao Chengye snorted coldly: "Don't want it? If you don't want it, I will take it back."
After saying that, he reached out to pick up the box.
Qin Zhen immediately stretched out her hand and held the box: "Is it for me?"
Xiao Chengye glanced sideways at her: "Isn't it what you want?"
Qin Zhen immediately became happy, hugged the box into her arms with both hands, and said, "It's mine."
She couldn't wait to open the box and took a look, and saw a colorful gemstone necklace and a matching bracelet inside.
The two items are colorful and are very different from the accessories in the capital.
All in all, it's very unique.
Qin Zhen immediately put on the bracelet eagerly and waved it in front of Xiao Chengye: "Father, does it look good?"
Xiao Chengye had a smile in his eyes, but said: "My things are naturally beautiful."
Qin Zhen curled her lips: "If you give it to me, it becomes my thing."
She couldn't put it down and touched the colorful bracelet on her hand, and said with a smile: "His Highness the Third is really amazing. He has received many good news and sent back so many good things."
Xiao Chengye's eyes moved slightly, he hummed, and said: "The third child is a good one."
"He is the most powerful," Qin Zhen praised him as sweetly as honey. "Not only does he look the most like his father, he also has the most similar temperament to him, and he is also the most similar to his father in terms of intelligence and courage."
Xiao Chengye blinked and asked, "Don't you think... he's too cold?"
He knew, however, that people in the capital said that he, the third child, was a mute living king of hell.
He is cold, unpopular and doesn't speak much.
Although Xiao Chengye thought it was a bit exaggerated, he also felt in his heart that Lao San's words were too few.
Qin Zhen thought for a while, then finally shook her head and said, "There is a reason why Your Highness is so cold."
"Oh? What's the reason?" Xiao Chengye said curiously.
"When I was in Longhu Mountain, I had some contact with His Highness the Third Highness." Qin Zhen said softly, "He had a very hard life when he was a child. Even when he got sick, he had no money to get medicine. Life was very difficult. But even so, he persisted.
Reading is very impressive."
"Later when he came to Beijing, His Majesty recognized him, but His Majesty recognized him, but others did not recognize him." Qin Zhen sighed and said, "Those people looked down on him sincerely, so what kind words could they say to him?
Actually, I can understand that feeling."
The smile on Xiao Chengye's face gradually faded, and his face looked a little unsightly.
He knew more or less about these things, but he never paid attention to them.
Now hearing what Qin Zhen said, Xiao Chengye just felt uncomfortable in his heart.
He owed Lao San a lot.
"My son, who dares to look down on him?" Xiao Chengye said in a deep voice, "Just wait and see, I will make everyone respect him and not dare to be negligent in the slightest."
A smile of success flashed in Qin Zhen's eyes.
She put the bracelet and necklace into the box, looked up at Xiao Chengye, and said inadvertently: "It has been a year and a half since His Highness went on an expedition, right? How long will he stay in southern Xinjiang?"
Xiao Chengye smiled: "Why, do you miss him?"
He has not forgotten that his third child has other thoughts about the person in front of him, and he also holds a marriage edict in his hand.
Qin Zhen looked at Xiao Chengye in surprise: "Why should I miss him?"
After a pause, he added: "It's not that I don't want to... I really miss those rare treasures from southern Xinjiang that he brought back."
Xiao Chengye was amused: "You little heartless thing."
Qin Zhen chuckled, chatted with Xiao Chengye for a while, and then left with satisfaction holding the box.
She actually has no interest in these things from southern Xinjiang. The reason why she comes to ask for them every time is just to ask Xiao Chengye about Lou Yan.
Every time Xiao Chengye spoke, she could tell whether Lou Yan was safe or not.
Although Murong Yan and Qin Da were by Lou Yan's side, Qin Zhen never contacted them. Otherwise, once they were discovered, neither the Qin family nor Lou Yan would reap the benefits.
She had said hello in advance, telling the two people not to contact her unless absolutely necessary.
Because of this, the only source of all her information was Xiao Chengye.
She carried the box and left the palace with a smile on her face.
In the palace, after Qin Zhen left, Gao Chengcheng asked: "Your Majesty has already prepared the gift for the princess tomorrow, why didn't you take it out early?"
Xiao Chengye laughed and said, "Don't you think it's interesting when she makes trouble?"
Gao Cheng: "..."
He smiled dryly and said nothing.
Xiao Chengye said, "You don't understand. My sons only care about the throne. How can I be their father? My princesses are like mice seeing a cat when they see me. None of them dare to say anything scared."
She is the only one who dares to make trouble in front of me."
Gao Cheng: "...the princess is quite lively."
Xiao Chengye smiled and said, "She is not mean-spirited. If I accept her as my adopted daughter, she will treat me like a father from the bottom of her heart."
Gao Cheng smiled dryly and did not answer the question. In his opinion, Princess Anshun was not a heartless person.
But if I say this, I will make His Majesty unhappy.
Xiao Chengye thought for a while and suddenly asked: "What do you think of the third child?"
Gao Cheng's heart skipped a beat and he said cautiously: "Your Highness, the Third Highness, is naturally good."
Xiao Chengye glanced at him and said, "Look, you are not as good as Zhen Zhen. That girl said that the third child is not as good as the prince or the fourth child."
Gao Cheng didn't dare to speak again.
Xiao Chengye was silent for a while and then said softly: "The third child is not bad at everything compared to the prince and the fourth child. Why should they look down on him? They all think that the third child has no backing and is easy to bully..."
However, he is the real backing of the third child.
Gao Cheng looked at his nose and heart without saying a word.
But at the court meeting on the second day, Xiao Chengye suddenly dropped a bombshell, catching everyone off guard.
Xiao Chengye suddenly issued an order to make the third prince Xiao Yan the prince.
Xiao Yan became the first among several princes to be crowned king.
