Chapter 499 Uncle 5
Chapter 499 Uncle 5
The golden osmanthus outside the window rustled with a rich fragrance. The Tenth Prince Qin Mingcheng poured himself a cup of tea and sprinkled it with dried osmanthus flowers. The osmanthus flowers floated on the amber tea soup like bits of gold.
He suppressed the smile in his eyes, lowered his eyelids, and gently blew away the smoke from the hot tea.
The eleventh prince Qin Mingcong stood behind the window, looking at the brisk back of Princess Qin Lingyi of Shu. The shadows of the frames of the window were cast on his handsome face.
He turned around and extended his hand to the Tenth Prince Qin Mingcheng without saying a word.
The Tenth Prince Qin Mingcheng raised the corner of his mouth slightly and placed the brewed cup in the hand of the Eleventh Prince Qin Mingcong.
"Thank you for the tea, brother Ten."
The twins' tacit understanding was self-evident and coincidental. Just like they had just improvised and cooperated with each other to coax their third sister Qin Lingyi to go to their fifth uncle Shen Jingchuan.
Of course there was excitement, but this excitement was not because of the fifth uncle Shen Jingchuan getting married, but because of the third princess Qin Lingyi.
The tenth prince Qin Mingcheng rolled up his sleeves and poured another cup of tea, "Aren't you worried about what your fifth uncle will do to your third sister?"
Shen Jingchuan is a complete lunatic. He worked as a guard in Qilin Palace for a period of time, but he quit in less than two months.
But during the two months that Shen Jingchuan was on duty in Qilin Palace, he tortured his own nephews, the tenth prince Qin Mingcheng and the eleventh prince Qin Mingcong.
"After all, she is his niece and the daughter of the emperor. Under the scorching sun, he can only lie, unless the third sister suddenly changes."
"Aren't you curious about what Third Sister has?"
The eleventh prince Qin Mingcong gently pinched the wall of the cup and tapped it with his fingertips, making a crisp sound.
"I don't know if Fifth Uncle can catch the 'ghost' in Third Sister and achieve his 'immortality'." Qin Mingcong's eyes flashed with a teasing smile towards Shen Jingchuan.
"Why not be curious?" Qin Mingcheng chuckled. "It's too obvious that Third Sister discovered our little trick and came to question us this time."
In the past, Qin Lingyi played games, debates, and chess with the two brothers, but she was confused and didn't quite understand. She didn't know why, and it was hard to explain why, but she could often get the right answer. Sometimes she would suddenly be in a daze, as if she was communicating with something.
If the twin brothers have a tacit understanding as if they are the same person, then it seems as if there is another guide living in Qin Lingyi's body. The two people with completely different ideas coexist in one body, which shows division and contradiction, which is quite interesting to watch.
"Third sister is indeed becoming more and more comfortable."
Their fifth uncle Shen Jingchuan has gone mad from reading mysterious books. He wanted to become an immortal, but ended up becoming a demon instead.
In addition to alchemy and talismans, who knows how many shameful and ridiculous operations are hidden in that villa.
Although Shen Jingchuan was crazy, his keen sense of touch helped him to grasp some ideas.
"Do you think there are really magic in this world?" The tenth prince Qin Mingcheng couldn't help but speak.
"Isn't it magical what's happening to the third sister?" The eleventh prince Qin Mingcong smiled faintly.
"There is also Lanshan County Lady Lü Liniang, who said she had dreamt of traveling to another world and was blessed by heaven, and Concubine Min, who could reveal her true feelings without saying a word when excited. There are many miraculous people and miraculous things in and outside the palace."
"From history, elixirs, spells, witchcraft," the tenth prince Qin Mingcheng's voice lowered, and only the word "witchcraft" remained in his mouth, "are all means for mortals to kill people in the name of immortals and gods."
The eleventh prince Qin Mingcong raised his hand and embraced Qin Mingcheng, smiling and moving closer to him, "The world is for mortals, and we are just ordinary people. We will go to the Queen Mother later, and I will suggest to her that we choose a talented woman as your princess. Do you know what to say?"
"I know. The dignified, virtuous, and plump wife of the Eleventh Prince is so childish."
