impersonating queen

Chapter 12 Twins

The next day, Hanzhang Palace was the same as before, the only difference was that a framed poem was pasted in the bedroom - Shao Wangshu's masterpiece.

It's time to go to court, Qin Jiaqian, the diligent emperor who has been going to court every day since he ascended the throne, called off the small court meeting due to illness.

After Shao Wangshu was fully dressed, he looked at Qin Jiaqian eagerly, not wanting to go to school, so he stayed by Qin Jiaqian's side, touching his forehead from time to time.

Shao Wangshu's face was full of worry, Qin Jiaqian couldn't help laughing: "I don't have a fever, why are you touching your forehead?"

Shao Wangshu struggled: "But His Majesty is ill."

Qin Jiaqian, who was in good spirits and could not see a trace of illness, pushed Shao Wangshu out of the room: "I'm fine, I'll go to your school."

Shao Wangshu looked at his expression carefully, he really didn't look like a sick person, but Qin Jiaqian said that he was sick...

Qin Jiaqian teased him: "Could it be that you wrote a poem and are ashamed to see your classmates?"

Shao Wangshu's ears turned red instantly, and he said angrily, "No way!"

"If you don't, go to school honestly."

Shao Wangshu turned his head three times at a step, and left worriedly.

Zhao Qiang was waiting early today at the Dunren Hall, holding a box of milk rabbit desserts. Recently, this kind of food is popular among the people. It is sweet and soft, and it is very popular with children. There is no such thing in the palace. It took a long time to study, and all the chefs in the imperial dining room unanimously agreed that the taste, shape, color, and smell must be perfect before they can be presented, which is very troublesome.

Shao Wangshu saw Zhao Qiang from a distance, and walked over unhurriedly. Yesterday Zhao Qiang walked around the palace for a while with the turtle bastard on his back. It caused the Quanzhi Academy to burst into laughter, everyone understood Zhao Qiang, Zhao Qiang was so ashamed that he wished he could find a crack in the ground.

Shao Wangshu stood three steps away from him and asked, "What are you doing?"

Want to get revenge in public?

Zhao Qiang raised the food box in his hand: "Thank you for saving me in the lake yesterday. My mother made the dim sum with her own hands." Zhao Qiang magnanimously exposed the bastard's matter, after all, he called people brooms first The star is in the front, and it is right for people to write a bastard response.One yard counts for one yard, and there is still a life-saving grace left.

Oh yes, and this thing.Shao Wangshu remembered.

"No need," Shao Wangshu walked straight past him, "it's a matter of convenience."

Zhao Qiang is tall and has long legs. As soon as he stepped forward, he blocked Shao Wangshu. He opened the food box and showed him a little rabbit dessert. The rich milky fragrance spread, and Shao Wangshu's nose moved slightly. No resistance to dairy products.

Zhao Qiang introduced: "This is first made of milk into a paste, mixed with sugar, egg white, flour and the resulting dumplings to make the outer skin, and then filled with various dried fruits and diced fruits, and finally made with roses. Flower sauce, poured on top of the stuffing."

Zhao Qiang asked: "Do you want to try something new?"

The little rabbit was cute in shape, soft and delicious, and Shao Wangshu's eyes slowly stopped moving.

In the lotus pond, Shao Wangshu and Zhao Qiang sat side by side on the bank, with a food box between them, and four or five little rabbits inside had already gone.

Shao Wangshu took off his shoes and socks, soaked his feet in the lake water, and played with the water in the lake, "I haven't asked you yet, why did you fall into the water yesterday?"

With half a rabbit still in his mouth, Zhao Qiang said vaguely, "He's playing truant."

Shao Wang slowly opened his eyes wide, "In the palace, can you play truant?"

Wherever this group of people went, there was a group of people following them, their whereabouts were clear, and it was very eye-catching wherever they went. If they escaped with their front feet, they could be found with their back feet.What's more, the palace wall is high, surrounded by guards, it is difficult to get close to the palace wall, let alone get out.

Zhao Qiang looked around, and the eunuchs who followed them were standing on the shore far away from them, and there was no one else around. Zhao Qiang said in a low voice, "The guards are guarding day and night, so it's not natural to leave from the palace wall. Maybe, it was taken down before I got close. I went to another place."

Shao Wangshu pricked up his ears.

"The Palace of King Huai used the palace of the previous dynasty." Zhao Qiang explained that after the fall of the previous dynasty, the Huai Kingdom was established using the palace built by the previous dynasty.

"When the palace was built in the previous dynasty, a tunnel was left. If the country is destroyed and soldiers approach the city, all the gates of the palace will be blocked, and the emperor can leave through the tunnel." Zhao Qiang said: "This is the road I took."

Shao Wangshu's heart skipped a beat. If he said that, wouldn't it be very convenient for someone to come in through the tunnel to assassinate him?Zhao Qiang's martial arts is common and he can play truant casually, it's not easy for someone who knows martial arts to come.

"Do many people know? How did you know?" Shao Wangshu asked.

Zhao Qiang was triumphant: "Of course not many, if many people know about this tunnel, then it's okay?"

Zhao Qiang said: "In the past, my father was in the Ministry of Punishment, and he was interrogated when he was an assassin before the trial."

Shao Wangshu heard several pieces of information from this sentence: first, the assassin was not the only one who knew the authenticity, at least the person in charge of the assassin and the person who investigated the case knew it; second, Zhao Qiang's father knew the authenticity and told him Zhao Qiang may not have reported it to the emperor, so the tunnel was not sealed, or it had already been reported, and the emperor was using the tunnel to fish.

But no matter what, Shao Wangshu felt that this tunnel was very risky, which was not good for Qin Jiaqian.

Shao Wangshu said: "I don't want to go to school either, let's go out to play, can you take me to see the tunnel?"

"Yes." Zhao Qiang answered straight away, authenticity is not such a deep secret among his friends, he has already brought several people out to play, and it is nothing to bring an extra Shao Wangshu.

Zhao Qiang taught Shao Wangshu: "Now we can't go directly. If we go directly, we will be discovered by the Grand Scholars. In this way, we will go back to class first, and then pass the greeting card to the Grand Scholars in the middle, pretending to show respect, and then sneak out through the back door of Zhixuefu."

Zhao Qiang made an appointment with him: "Listen to the signal. After I come out of Mingde Hall, I will knock on your window three times, two long and one short, and come out when you hear the sound."

"it is good."

It was Han Mu who came to class today, because Han Mu was at the top, Shao Wangshu couldn't listen to a word, his mind was full of authenticity, and after a while he imagined that Zhao Qiang's father had a different intention, and he learned that the authenticity was hidden, and so on. Give Qin Jiaqian a blow at the critical moment, and later think about it. Qin Jiaqian actually knew it a long time ago, but just wanted to check if there were any fish that slipped through the net, so he kept it on purpose.

Shao Wangshu thought about it, feeling uneasy in his heart.He didn't know the position of Zhao Qiang's father and Zhao Qiang's family in the court, but he heard that Qin Jiaqian had a hard time coming to the throne.

In the past, the former queen, who is now the queen mother, gave birth to twins, one Qin Jiaqian and one Qin Jiani.A stone with engraved words once appeared on this continent out of thin air. It would be ominous if the royal family had twins. Only one of the two could be kept, otherwise the country would be in chaos.Twins suck luck from each other, if one is strong, the other is not.

The stone came out of nowhere. According to Shao Wangshu's thinking, everyone would naturally think it was farting and didn't take it to heart.After all, if he carves one of these things today, I can carve one tomorrow, so what's the point?

But for some reason, the entire Huai Palace firmly believed in this, and it was the Grand Master of the Zhao Kingdom who said it was an oracle.

In short, it is absurd and full of loopholes.

But some people believe it.

Shao Wangshu once thought that Huai Palace was too superstitious, as long as he put his head on his head, he could talk nonsense, and if he had the opportunity in the future, he would pretend to be a god and talk nonsense!

The first emperor and the first empress were the mainstays of superstition. They felt uncomfortable about having twins and planned to give one away.In Qin Jiaqian and Qin Jiayou, they kept Qin Jiayou who was in good health and made him the prince, and sent away Qin Jiaqian who cried weakly and looked in poor health.

If he was a normal person, he would probably find Qin Jiaqian a good family. At least he would have no worries about food and clothing, stay away from the royal family, and grow up in peace.

But the first emperor and the first empress kept in mind the nonsense words on the stone, for fear that Qin Jiaqian's luck in this life would be good, and that Qin Jiani who was left behind would be suppressed, and their luck in Huai country would be hindered.So just send it to that poor place, the poorer the better, wrap Qin Jiaqian when he was a baby in a blanket, throw it at the door of the poor farmhouse, and leave.

Because they were afraid that paying more attention to him would indirectly improve his luck, the first emperor and first empress did not arrange anyone by his side - the main reason was that they didn't dare.

At that time, there was an urgent shortage of doctors among the people, and there was at most one person who knew medical skills in all the towns and villages.In addition, in the face of famines and food shortages among the people, not a few people died of starvation and changed their children to eat.

The family they selected for Qin Jiaqian was poor, and Qin Jiaqian might not be able to survive smoothly.

They were able to send Qin Jiaqian away cruelly, but they dared not listen to Qin Jiaqian's "death".

The farmer was kind-hearted, even though it was difficult to eat, the baby was not seen starving to death, so he picked it up for him.

Fast-forward many years, Qin Jiaqian grew up in the mountains, food was a problem, and naturally he couldn't read much.When Qin Jiaqian was herding the sheep, he took advantage of the sheep to eat grass and sneaked up on the school tree to learn. The teacher who gave the lecture at that time was Ping Qiujin, who was traveling all over the world and happened to stay here.

Qin Jiaqian went to the tree to stay early every day, and left after speaking.

It is said that after Ping Qiujin discovered Qin Jiaqian who was eavesdropping, he did not expose him, but moved the school to the courtyard so that he could hear him more clearly.

Qin Jiaqian naturally recognized the kindness of his husband, and took the initiative to come down from the tree. After thanking him, he asked him two sentences. The first sentence was "Sir, why do some people have rich clothes and good food, while others do not have enough to eat?", the second sentence The second sentence is "We work all day long and suffer all kinds of hardships in the fields, but it is difficult to even survive, while the landlords only need to lie at home, and they will have inexhaustible wealth. Why is this?"

Ping Qiujin replied: "Follow me and I will tell you why."

In this way, Qin Jiaqian studied with Ping Qiujin for a year.

Ping Qiujin also practiced martial arts, and taught him martial arts by the way.

Later, there was a severe drought, and everyone, including farmers, could not afford to eat, so they thought of selling Qin Jiaqian to Ren Yazi as a slave.
