Rongguo, Imperial Palace.

As soon as the morning sun rose, there were officials coming in from the Taiji Gate and going to the early dynasty.

Xia Lishuang looked at the Tai Chi Hall bathed in the morning light, smiled slightly, and gently hooked the corners of her mouth.

"Seventh brother, you seem to be in a good mood today?" Behind him, Xia Liqing's voice still had a weak and warm atmosphere.

"Fourth brother, morning!" Xia Lishuang looked at Xia Liqing, his fourth brother has never shown his head, but after he returned from the expedition, he returned to the court in advance.

On the contrary, Xia Liyuan, the little overlord, went out to hook up with his daughter-in-law under the guise of a study tour.

Thinking of this, Xia Lishuang was a little angry.

Xia Liqing is now back, and the emperor put him in charge of the Ministry of Engineering and supervised the construction of the imperial mausoleum.

"By the way, Hu Feipeng, the Qing of Guanglu Temple, came to me before, the seventh brother should be careful!" Xia Liqing seemed to say casually.

Xia Lishuang was slightly stunned, looking at Xia Liqing's thin scholarly face, and smiled sharply.

"I'm afraid I know that I'm not going to help him this time, but for the sake of promotion, I really do everything."

Xia Liqing shrugged his shoulders and looked at Xia Lishuang.

"I heard that you recommended the king of Nanping County to go to Guozijian?"

Xia Lishuang nodded.

"Be careful that your father thinks you're nepotism!" Xia Liqing smiled and kindly reminded.

"Regardless of anything else, the king of Nanping County is full of poetry and books, and he has the style of Confucianism, but he just doesn't want him to be buried because of this!" Xia Lishuang's gaze became long and far-reaching, "It's the fourth brother, how could he suddenly return to Beijing?" ”

Xia Liqing pursed his lips, knowing that Xia Lishuang was suspicious of him.

"It's just that I've had enough fun outside, and I want to go back to the capital...... I am not as good as you and my second brother, who can pacify the territory and manage the government outside, and I can only put some thought into these things in the Ministry of Industry. ”

Xia Lishuang didn't squeak.

In all fairness, he was unwilling to doubt Xia Liqing.

After all, when he was young, he was the only fourth brother from a humble background who was willing to play with him.

It's just that...... The world is impermanent, and the brothers, friends, and brothers Gong when they were young have all come to naught, and even Xia Liyuan's character has become unfathomable.

Xia Lishuang really didn't dare to trust anyone anymore.

As if seeing Xia Lishuang's question, Xia Liqing smiled.

"Seventh brother, don't worry, I remember the kindness between you and Queen Tao, if it wasn't for Queen Tao's intercession, the mother concubine might not even be able to enter the imperial mausoleum, I had a cold personality when I was young, and only you treat me sincerely......"

Xia Lishuang pursed her lips, "At that time, it was just ...... It's just that you can't see the good to be humiliated! ”

Xia Liqing's eyebrows raised, and there was a bit of sharpness in the eyebrows of the scholar who had always been weak.

"Seventh brother, don't worry, my purpose is the same as that of the seventh brother, only the Han family, and I won't ask about the rest."

A sentence of seven brothers brought the names of each other closer.

Xia Lishuang nodded, looking at Xia Liqing's face, she also sighed a little.

Back then, Xie Yilin's Lintai poetry case was affected even by Concubine Xuan in the palace, and was given to death by the emperor with a cup of poisoned wine.

Thanks to Queen Tao's intercession, she reluctantly spared the other party's life, moved to the cold palace, and died of illness not long after.

It was not bad for Xia Liqing to resent the eldest princess in his heart, but it was Han Chun who followed the eldest princess and the prince's party to sue Xie Yilin back then.

For so many years, Han Chun actually didn't want to get rid of Xia Liqing all the time, but Xia Liqing went out to study as soon as he became an adult, and since then he has only asked about the court, so Han Chun and the former prince can't catch the handle.

But now it's different, the former crown prince and the eldest princess are dead, and they can not be investigated.

However, the Han family, which is now in full swing, really has to get rid of the target.

At the beginning of the early dynasty, the two brothers walked together towards the temple.
