Qin Zhen looked at the other party's hesitant expression, suppressing a smile in her heart, but nothing could be seen on her face.
She looked at the other person and said seriously: "Speaking of which, you and my nephew are really quite destined."
"...Where is the fate?"
"You don't know, right? You and my eldest brother look a bit alike. When I first saw you, I thought you were seeing your brother, and I almost called you brother."
"..."
The other party hesitated for a long time, and finally said: "Isn't it impossible?"
Qin Zhen was stunned: "What?"
"If you want to call me brother, you can." The other party glanced at Qin Zhen and said somewhat reservedly.
In fact, he wanted Qin Zhen to shout the last time they met, but at that time, Qin Zhen was accompanied by Lou Yan, who was like the King of Hell, and it was so inconvenient that they didn't even say a word.
Today, I still can't help but say this.
Qin Zhen looked at the other party and suddenly burst into laughter.
The other party was confused: "Laughing, what are you laughing at?"
Qin Zhen smiled and shook her head, and said slowly: "Second brother, are you still not going to recognize me?"
Qin Xiao stood up in a flash, unsteadily knocking over the teacup in front of him.
He looked at Qin Zhen in front of him in shock: "You, you, you... what did you call me?"
Qin Zhen looked up at him, her heart filled with warmth, but she smiled and said, "Second brother."
Qin Xiao suddenly raised his hand to cover his mouth, his eyes widening.
Qin Zhen's smile deepened: "Why, shouldn't I call you that?"
Qin Xiao immediately put down his hand and said quickly: "That's right, just call it that way."
After a pause, he looked at Qin Zhen with bright eyes and asked tentatively: "Can I call you again?"
Qin Zhen smiled, as he wished, and called: "Second brother."
Qin Xiao covered his mouth again, hiding the exclamation he was about to blurt out.
However, even if he covers his mouth, the emotion can escape from his eyes.
Qin Zhen couldn't help it. How could her second brother be so cute?
Qin Zhen stood up, stretched out her hand to Qin Xiao, and asked with a smile: "Second brother, won't you hug me?"
Qin Xiao was stunned for a moment, then rushed over and hugged Qin Zhen.
Qin Zhen raised her hand and patted Qin Xiao on the back, and called out obediently: "Second brother."
Qin Xiao opened his mouth, swallowed a little, and said softly: "How do you know it's mine?"
"I knew it when we first met," Qin Zhen said softly.
Qin Xiao was dissatisfied: "Then why do you pretend not to know me?"
"Didn't the second brother pretend to be first?" Qin Zhen said with a smile, "I thought the second brother didn't want to recognize me yet, so I cooperated with you."
Qin Xiao was silent for a moment, raised his hand and touched Qin Zhen's head, muttering: "Bad girl."
Qin Zhen squinted her eyes and smiled.
Qin Xiao let go of her, took two steps back, and looked Qin Zhen up and down with his eyes.
He sighed and said softly: "When I left, you were just a little bit older. Now, you have grown up and are married."
He raised his hand and touched Qin Zhen's hair and said, "I'm sorry, my second brother didn't grow up with you. Even when you got married, my second brother wasn't by your side."
"It's okay," Qin Zhen smiled and said to Qin Xiao, "I know that our hearts are always together. No matter how long it takes, no matter how far apart we are, you will always be my second brother."
Qin Xiao suddenly smiled and said, "Little girl, you have such a sweet mouth."
He pulled Qin Zhen to sit down and said, "Actually, I have been corresponding with my father. My father told me not to go home, not to recognize you, and to live a free and unrestrained life among the people." He said, "I was born in our
Such a family is like walking on a tightrope. You never know when you will die without a burial place. Now, my eldest brother and you have entered the game, and we can't leave even if we want to. He doesn't want me to get involved, my father said.
I must leave a heir for the old Qin family."
Qin Zhen nodded and said, "Father is right."
"But I couldn't help it," Qin Xiao said softly, "When I heard that my eldest brother was going to be a father and I was going to be an uncle, I couldn't help it, so I came back."
Qin Xiao smiled bitterly and said, "It's just that I still didn't dare to disobey my father and recognize you."
Qin Zhen raised her hand and grabbed Qin Xiao's hand, saying word by word: "Second brother, don't be impulsive."
"We don't need to recognize each other, we are family members. I believe that eldest brother, like me, can recognize you just by looking at you. And the unborn nephew, we will also let him know that he has
My second uncle is a very good and powerful person."
Qin Zhen grabbed Qin Xiao's hand and said, "The situation in the palace is tense now. Don't get involved. Just guard your silver building and be your master behind the scenes. Do you understand?"
Qin Xiao looked at Qin Zhen deeply, then nodded and said, "I understand."
Qin Zhen breathed a sigh of relief.
She reached for the longevity lock box and said, "I will tell my elder brother that you gave it to your nephew."
Speaking of his unborn nephew, Qin Xiao couldn't help but laugh.
"If he is a young man, then his second uncle will help him pay for his future wife. If she is a little girl, then his second uncle will let her have endless jewelry from childhood to adulthood, and then prepare her to wear ten miles of red makeup.
, making all the little girls in the world envious of her."
Qin Xiao said with a faint excitement in his eyes.
Qin Zhen said with a smile in her eyes: "Okay."
The brother and sister reminisced about old times and talked a lot.
Finally, Qin Zhen said to Qin Xiao: "Second brother, help me prepare a set of jewelry, more exquisite and more expensive, I want to use it."
Qin Xiao raised his eyebrows: "As a gift?"
"Yes, give it away." Qin Zhen said.
Qin Xiao then asked: "Does it matter what kind of person you are? Tell me, and I'll get you a set."
"It's important, very important." The smile in Qin Zhen's eyes slowly faded, murderous intent filled her eyes little by little, and she said slowly, "Her life is mine, you tell me whether it's important or not.
"
Qin Xiao was stunned for a moment, seeing his sister's angry look for the first time.
But thinking about his sister dealing with those people in the palace, it can be considered a dereliction of duty as an elder brother on his part.
Qin Xiao didn't ask any questions, turned around and took out a set of jewelry.
"Although I didn't make it myself, it was made by the master craftsmen in the building and they can handle it well."
Qin Zhen took the box without looking at it and said to Qin Xiao: "Second brother, thank you. You owe me the money first, and I will settle the matter with you slowly after I finish the matter."
After that, he took the jewelry and went straight into the palace.
After all this time, it was time for her to meet the emperor's new favorite.
She was made a concubine, how could Qin Zhen not congratulate her?
If she didn't show up, wouldn't it be a waste of the other party's hard work to climb to such a high position?
