Chapter 33 Yunxiao Temple-7

Qi Wangshu looked at everyone with an expressionless face. Uncle Liang timidly led the princess to the flower hall and said respectfully: "Princess, please wait in the flower hall for a while. I will immediately send someone to the military camp to ask the general to come back."

The princess was not an ordinary guest. Uncle Liang could not make up his mind, so he had to send someone to report to the general.

"Isn't your lady here?" Qi Wangshu sat on the seat, shaking his legs and playing with a small teacup in his hand.

Uncle Liang hurriedly stepped forward and replied: "My lady and the eldest daughter of Qin Shilang's family went to Yunxiao Temple to pray for blessings today noon. I'm afraid I have to stay overnight before coming back."

Qi Wangshu nodded, looked at the tea cup in his hand, pondered for a moment, and said, "Then please prepare a guest room for me. I will stay at the General's Mansion tonight."

What's so great about this? The majestic eldest princess of the Celestial Dynasty stayed in the house of a minister. How shameful would this be if word spread!

Uncle Liang did not dare to make the decision directly, so he could only say with a smile: "The general will return home soon, please ask the princess to wait a little longer."

Qi Wangshu knew that he couldn't make the decision, so he stopped making things difficult for him.

She didn't speak any more, she just played with the teacup in her hand seriously, squeezing it with her fingers a little harder, with such force that she could crush the teacup.

She was so angry!

At present, the court situation in the Celestial Dynasty is treacherous and the situation in the court is in chaos. Outside, the Great Liang, a mortal enemy that has not been dealt with for many years, is disturbing the borders. Not only that, the Nanxuan Kingdom has joined forces with other small countries to attack the southern part of the Celestial Dynasty, forcing the emperor of the Celestial Dynasty to marry his daughter.

In the past, the emperor was physically strong and had the energy to deal with them. But now is a troubled time. The emperor is old and frail, and is seriously ill. It is not easy for him to go to court every day. The two princes are secretly fighting for the position of heir apparent.

A life-and-death struggle, and most of the officials in the court had ulterior motives.

So when Nan Xuanguo proposed the marriage again, the emperor did not reject it immediately, but asked Concubine Mei to ask Princess Wangshu's opinion.

For some reason, after hearing the news, she angrily rejected her mother-in-law, and then left the palace in a sedan chair to go to the general's palace.

Princess Wangshu had a sweet and willful temperament, and the guards guarding the gate did not dare to stop her, so they had to report it to Concubine Mei. However, Concubine Mei knew why she was angry, so it was not easy to pursue it, so she sent more people to secretly protect her.

Uncle Liang bowed his body and waited on the side. Looking at the expressionless face of the princess, he was always worried. The princess did not say much about the purpose of this trip, which made him even more frightened.

"The humble minister Liang Ji meets the princess." A majestic figure walked into the flower hall, and Liang Bo burst into tears and hurriedly walked towards Liang Ji.

Qi Wangshu seemed to be more anxious than Uncle Liang. After seeing Liang Ji, she actually got up and ran towards Liang Ji, threw herself into his arms and hugged him, saying, "You are finally here."

Liang Ji and everyone were stunned. He raised his hand motionlessly, not daring to touch Qi Wangshu at all.

After a while, Qi Wangshu realized that it was not appropriate for him to be like this, so he quickly let go of him, and while arranging the broken hair on his temples, he said: "Well... I... I mean, I've been waiting for you for a long time...

"

As soon as she said this, she looked embarrassed, and she didn't dare to look directly at Liang Ji.

Liang Ji looked at Uncle Liang with doubtful eyes at this time, and Uncle Liang returned the same doubtful look.

The atmosphere in the flower hall suddenly became awkward, and many servants lowered their heads and did not dare to make a sound.

Liang Ji coughed lightly and said to everyone, "You all should go out first."

Everyone then breathed a sigh of relief and hurried out.

At this time, there were only two of them left in the flower hall, and Liang Ji asked quietly: "Is there something wrong with the princess coming to see me so late?"

"Why did you come back home so late?" she asked.

Liang Ji felt strange in his heart, but when the princess asked, he still had to answer truthfully: "The fighting on the front line has been tense recently, and a group of new soldiers have been recruited in the camp. The military affairs are really busy, so I have to..."

"Aren't you very good at leading troops in battles? Why are you so embarrassed when the fighting on the front line is tight? Weren't both Great Liang and Nanxuan Kingdom defeated by you before? Why don't you lead troops to annihilate them now?

, let me help you resolve the war started by your men!" Qi Wangshu hysterically vented all his grievances before he could finish.

She is a royal princess and has the responsibility to solve the country's problems, but she is also a woman who is looking forward to her future life. She never wants her fate to be arranged by others.

Liang Ji was stunned by her series of words. After thinking about it carefully, she realized that it was Nan Xuanguo who proposed marriage again. However, this time the emperor did not refuse directly, but was considering letting the princess marry far away.

Facing the princess who looked like she was about to cry, Liang Ji felt uncomfortable.

Now the emperor is old and sick, and other small countries are even more rampant. Countless big and small battles have broken out on the border of China. Liang Fengmian and Liang Ji stayed in the military camp for many days, sleeping in their clothes every day and night to fight on the front line. It won't be long before they have to personally

Go to war.

However, when all their soldiers were fighting bloody battles to protect the border, the emperor actually wanted to marry his daughter to seek peace, which would really frustrate the confidence of the soldiers.

He was silent for a while and said solemnly to Qi Wangshu: "Princess, please rest assured. As long as Liang Ji can still lead troops to fight, he will never let the princess marry far away. Tomorrow I will write to the emperor to persuade him to withdraw his order."

Qi Wangshu looked at him deeply. In fact, the emperor only had this idea and had not yet decided to agree to Nan Xuanguo's marriage. But now that she had Liang Ji's guarantee, she no longer worried.

After seeing that the princess had been comforted, Liang Ji asked someone to send the princess back to the palace.

However, Qi Wangshu did not want to go back so early: "I have to go back less than two hours after leaving the palace, and let my mother and concubine know... How embarrassing..."

At that time, she stepped out of Qianning Palace without looking back. Despite Concubine Mei's dissuasion, she said that she would rather stay on the streets of Beijing than return to the palace. Now that she went back less than two hours after leaving the palace, she would have somewhat lost face.

"But Huanqing is not in the house now. The house is full of men, which is not good for the princess' reputation." He hesitated.

"It doesn't matter. I will stay in the Queen's sister-in-law's room." After receiving Liang Ji's guarantee, she felt happy and walked straight out of the flower hall. She said to Uncle Liang who was waiting outside the door: "Take me to your lady's room."

Uncle Liang nodded and bowed in agreement, then looked back at Liang Ji. When he saw Liang Ji nodded helplessly, he smiled at Qi Wangshu and said, "Princess, please come with me."

After Qi Wangshu left, a retainer asked: "General, are you going back to the military camp or staying overnight in your mansion?"

Liang Ji sat in the flower hall, rubbed the acupuncture points around his eyes, pondered for a moment, and said, "Prepare your horses and return to the military camp."

"yes!"

The next morning, the monks of Yunxiao Temple got up early to ring the bell and chant the Buddha's name. The ethereal bells echoed in the mountains, startling a large number of birds in the forest.

Liang Huanqing also woke up to the sound of the bell. She rubbed her eyes and shook Yuebai who was sleeping beside her: "Wake up quickly."

The moonlight slowed down for a while, and then I looked outside to reveal the pale sky, and said, "It's only the third watch of the night."

Liang Huanqing fumbled out of bed, put on her shoes and said, "Get up quickly."

Yuebai also stood up: "What are you doing up so early?"

Liang Huanqing stuck out his tongue and said playfully: "Go and pray early. If you are late, other pilgrims will come, and the gods and Buddhas will not be able to hear our prayers."

Yuebai smiled and said, "Don't you, Miss, not believe this?"
