Chapter 177 A Double-Edged Sword
Qin Feng's hand paused. He was not a fool. He had already vaguely sensed Chun Niang's unusual attitude towards him: "That's probably true, but unfortunately we are not destined to be together. It is impossible for Chun Niang and me to be together."
"Is there too much difference in status?"
"It's not that, it's just that I don't mean to her. If it's unintentional, why bother causing unnecessary trouble." Qin Feng has never given Chun Niang any illusion, it's just the attitude of his superiors towards his subordinates.
Xiao Lingyao had already started to eat, but she glanced down and saw a shadow walking in. She raised the corner of her mouth and said, "Bai Lianzhou and Zuo Pingdao, these two are actually walking together."
In the hall downstairs, Bai Lianzhou led Zuo Pingdao in very attentively. He must have booked a private room in advance, and the two of them were led upstairs.
One is a bachelor of the Grand Cabinet, and the other is a minister of Dali Temple. They seemed to have no contact with each other before, but now they come together. Judging from the state of the two, it seems that Bai Lianzhou is ingratiating themselves with them.
"Hongyu Tower is really a treasure. Those banknotes were not in vain." Xiao Lingyao felt a dull pain when she thought of the banknotes she took out.
These two old acquaintances were not the only ones who came today. After half a stick of incense, the middle-aged but elegant Prince Rui also came in.
This Prince Rui is famous for his love for gentleness and fragrance, and he is a frequent visitor to Hongyu Tower. It is not surprising that he appears here, but Qin Feng is still a little embarrassed when he thinks of the way he looks at his mother.
Seeing their elders appearing here, the two of them felt quite uncomfortable. After looking at each other, Qin Feng laughed and said, "Uncle Huang is so charming."
"The emperor's uncle has no children, and has never renewed his marriage. He has not heard of any concubine who will be brought up to be his wife. I am afraid that he is just worried about delaying his pursuit of pleasure and freedom from restraint. The East Yue Kingdom regards being without a descendant as a major issue, so the emperor
But my uncle is very open-minded."
Qin Feng couldn't agree more with this point. Not only in Dongyue Kingdom, but even in modern society, being unable to have children is a serious crime. So, are there still a small number of parents who urge marriage and birth?
In the eyes of their elders, the DINK clan, which became popular in later generations, were aliens and looked like monsters.
The two of them looked away at the same time. Xiao Lingyao's eyes were a little dodgey and asked: "Why did you go to the Tutor's Mansion today?"
"I apologize to my father." A hint of smile appeared in Qin Feng's eyes: "By the way, I would like to hint that my father, the queen, may have some rift with my family. The future of Prime Minister Tang is unclear. Please make plans as soon as possible."
If Xiao Lingyao believed that Qin Feng was a true son and a filial son, he would be in trouble. How Qin Taifu treated the mother and son in the past, the secret guard had reported them one by one. His biological father was ruthless, his aunt was unvirtuous, and his eldest brother was unrighteous!
Born in such a mansion, Liu Yuan and Qin Feng were already riddled with wounds. How could he be so kind as to come and remind them?
"I don't believe it."
I am using my status to pressure him to tell the truth. Qin Feng suppressed the smile on his face and cupped his hands and said: "I do have selfish motives. Although I have no attachment to my biological father, my biological mother is still trapped in the Taifu Mansion. If
If something happens to the Taifu Mansion, she will not be able to escape the blame."
"So before my aunt leaves the Taifu's house safely, you still have to do your best to keep the Taifu's house safe? Just disrupt the backyard and make them live in peace, and watch those who have trampled on you and your mother turn against each other and accuse each other. Isn't it satisfying?
"
Xiao Lingyao did not hesitate to reveal the ugliness in Qin Feng's heart. For some reason, she felt very happy while talking like this.
"I'm so happy." Qin Feng thought of the past and his voice became a little deeper: "I have been neglected and bullied since I was a child. Even the servants in the house don't take me seriously. Princess, do you know who I hate the most?
, is Chen Na’s biological father.”
"I am his biological blood, and my mother was the one he forced to enter the house. If he said he didn't love me, he would not hesitate to ask his father-in-law to bring her into the house. If so, why did he see her after welcoming her into the house?
Are you going to suffer for us, mother and son?"
"Countless times he clearly could have stepped forward, but turned a blind eye. I thought that - being able to stop but turning a blind eye to the bystanders is more disgusting than the perpetrator. He was willing to humble himself for power and sacrifice our mother and son. Now he has shown
It’s just disgusting.”
"Both the minister and my mother have given up on this person, but the world is difficult. As the concubine of the Taifu, my mother now has an imperial concubine, and it is really difficult to get rid of her. Your Majesty's promotion has become a shackles."
Qin Feng is not a perfect person, and it is impossible to take everything into account. For example, this imperial decree. At first, he was indeed happy for his mother, as if he was on an equal footing with his wife in disguise, but then he suddenly realized that this was a double-edged sword.
.
Xiao Lingyao looked at these words and seemed to have some understanding. She slapped the jade fan lightly and heavily in her palm. She didn't know how long it had been, but she stared into Qin Feng's eyes: "You really hate it so much."
Qin Feng's expression remained calm: "My father once planned that I would never leave the house and live as a sick man relying on my eldest brother."
"Why?" Xiao Lingyao asked.
"The eldest brother can be promoted to the fourth rank before he is twenty years old. Does Your Highness think that my eldest brother is extremely talented? But in my opinion, he is just taking advantage of his grandfather and father, and someone is planning for him.
That’s all.”
"And I am just a chess piece that my father planned for me. Nowadays, His Majesty hires people with more emphasis on character in addition to talent. If the eldest brother can take care of his sick younger brother for many years, will it become a good story and spread to His Majesty's ears?
What will it be like?”
"Teacher Qin actually wants to use you to seek fame for his eldest son?" Xiao Lingyao was shocked. Her eyebrows that had been slightly modified today were raised, and she had mixed feelings in her heart. They are both of the same blood, but because they are different, their treatment is actually the same.
Is this so different?
Qin Feng thought of the joy Qin Zuohuai looked at him today, and felt ironic in his heart.
Could it be that you should still treat him as a child of a certain age and give him a little sweetness to make him forget what happened in the past?
It is an indisputable fact that the relationship between father and son is indifferent. Even Liu Yuan has separated from Qin Zuohuai, and his current tenderness and gentleness are all fake.
Qin Feng lowered his eyes and was thinking about something when a slender jade hand suddenly reached out and knocked on the back of his hand a few times. He couldn't help but look up, met Xiao Lingyao's sympathetic eyes, and couldn't help but smile: "Your Highness, you don't have to sympathize with me.
"
"It seems that there are so many reasons why the consort agreed to my request."
"Does Your Highness know now that I am sincerely on this boat?" Qin Feng held chopsticks to pick up the food for her: "I rejected the opportunity to become an official because I knew that I had no one to support me and had no foundation. There are many things involved in officialdom.
, how can I handle this?"
"Besides, His Highness doesn't want me to become an official."
Xiao Lingyao chuckled, picked up the jade fan and slapped his hand: "You are too shrewd. Being an official will inevitably involve you. Being in business is much easier. It's just a little thought from me.
You must expose it."
Qin Feng said sincerely: "I must be honest and honest when I have any disagreements with His Highness."
