Chapter 1405 Rouge Tiger
Fan Dehai smiled and said, "The Lord is wise and guessed that the prince would reply like this. However, the Lord said that if the prince still wants to stay here, he will ask the Ministry of Works to move the left and right mansions and expand it."
Qi Ning shook his head and said, "Dadfather-in-law, now my Great Chu is the time to use money, so there is no need to build such a big project. When I enter the palace to thank me for my gratitude, I will report it to the emperor."
Fan Dehai then helped Qi Ning up with both hands and said, "The prince is very happy today. I am really happy. The prince is well recuperated. The family will return to the palace to report their lives."
"My father-in-law stayed for a cup of tea..."
"No need, you're polite, Prince." After Fan Dehai left with a smile, the whole mansion faced Qi Ning and said in unison: "Congratulations to the prince!"
Qi Ning sighed and said, "Get up." Although the palace gave such a generous reward, Qi Ning was not happy. Instead, she thought it would be more affordable to give some gold, silver and jewelry. There was a treasure trove in the palace, which contained many treasures. It would be valuable to take a few of them out. Unfortunately, the little emperor Longtai was too stingy. This title was awarded, but the rare treasures were denied.
Han Shou waved his hand and said, "Everyone will do their own things first." After everyone dispersed, Han Shou said to Qi Ning and Ximen Zhanying, "Prince, Madam, this great joy must be held for a banquet. Should the prince invite officials from the capital to come and celebrate together? I will ask someone to prepare an invitation, set a date, and start preparing now."
Ximen Zhanying whispered: "My husband, although it is a great joy, I think it is not appropriate to mobilize all the troops."
Qi Ning smiled and said, "Mrs. What the lady said is very true." He said to Han Shou, "I will be spared for the banquet. I told the servants in the mansion not to talk about this matter outside, as it was as before."
Han Shou was stunned for a moment, but since the master gave such an order, he could only obey the order.
Yuan Rong was also among the crowd. He came up at this time and bowed and smiled, "Your Majesty, I am glad to you. I am still praising you for the prince just now. I didn't expect that this reward would come as soon as possible. Since the founding of the Great Chu Kingdom, the prince is the only king of a different surname who was granted the emperor's order. Such kindness is beyond the past and present."
Ximen Zhanying said: "Isn't Li Hongxin from Xichuan also named Shu King? He is also a king of different surnames."
"Madam, Li Hongxin has lived in Xichuan for generations, and many generations have been King of Shu." Yuan Rong said: "After he surrendered, the court did not exempt him from his title. His position as King of Shu can only be regarded as a inheritance. Although he was honored by the King of Shu, no one in the court really regarded him as a prince, and it was just a nameless person. However, King Yiheng was a royal conferred by the emperor. Compared with the prince, Li Hongxin could not speak the same way." He bowed again and said: "Prince, I will say goodbye first and come to visit him next day." He said goodbye now.
After Ximen Zhanying helped Qi Ning back to the house, she waited for Qi Ning to lie down again, then sat next to her and said, "My husband, the emperor has given you the title of King Yiheng, you seem... not very happy?"
"No." Qi Ning sighed: "It may not be a good thing that I was named king at my age."
"Isn't it a good thing?" Ximen Zhanying whispered: "Dear is you worried that after you become the king, there will be someone in the court who will be jealous?" He snorted coldly and said: "You have fought your life to save the emperor and saved the Great Chu. If it weren't for you, Xiao Shaozong would have succeeded. With such great contributions, it would be nothing to be a king. Who of the officials in the court can have more contributions than you?"
Qi Ning hurriedly said, "Zhan Ying, it's okay for us to talk about this in private, so don't talk to the third one."
People say."
"Do you think I'm stupid?" Ximen Zhanying gave Qi Ning a white look, then frowned and said, "But why did the emperor issue an order to let you choose the royal palace? Although both the Huainan Prince's Mansion and the Sima Mansion are big,...these are both treasons, so of course we can't move to those two palaces."
Qi Ning smiled slightly and didn't say much.
"King Yiheng?" Ximen Zhanying said lightly before saying, "Why do you take the word Yiheng? Do you mean you are loyal?"
Qi Ning said: "This word "Yi" naturally means loyalty, and this word "heng" means "I always want to be loyal."
Ximen Zhanying smiled and said, "So that's it."
Qi Ning pondered for a moment and suddenly asked, "Zhan Ying, do you know where that...Miss Chi is?"
On that day, Qi Ning was carried back to the palace from the palace, but Chi Danmei disappeared halfway through the way. I don’t know where to go. Qi Ning wanted to ask several times, but he held back. However, he had not seen Chi Danmei for several days. Qi Ning felt a little worried and couldn’t help asking.
Although Qi Ning planned to quell Xiao Shaozong's rebellion this time, if Chi Danmei had not left the palace to organize the manpower, it would be impossible to reverse the situation.
Qi Ning knew that Chi Danmei's contribution was definitely not inferior to her, but she was a disciple of Donghai, so she naturally would not disclose her identity.
Ximen Zhanying hesitated for a moment and finally asked: "Honey, who is she...?"
Ximen Zhanying naturally had never seen Chi Danmei before this rebellion, and there were very few people who knew about the relationship between Qi Ning and Chi Danmei.
After Chi Danmei left the palace, she naturally contacted several forces according to Qi Ning's instructions, and the Shenhou Mansion was also among them.
After Qu Xiaocang passed away, Qi Ning took the token from him. Chi Danmei took the token from the Shenhou Mansion and would naturally win the trust of the Shenhou Mansion. So Han Tianxiao was released from the prison, and Ximen Zhanying naturally also lifted her house arrest. In addition to the Wuqu Captain, the three of them gathered the available people from the Shenhou Mansion and launched a raid on the Huainan Prince's Mansion.
Ximen Zhanying met when Chi Danmei was sending messages to the Shenhou Mansion.
But Chi Dan Mei has outstanding appearance and charm. Whether it is a man or a woman, it will naturally be unforgettable whenever she sees her once.
Ximen Zhanying certainly knew that Chi Danmei's message was Qi Ning's instructions. Such a major matter was given to such a beautiful woman. Although she had a great trust in Chi Danmei, it also showed that the relationship between the two was not simple.
Although Ximen Zhanying is a bit hot, she is not stupid. Moreover, women are the most sensitive to the relationship between men and women. At this time, Qi Ning asked about Chi Danmei, and there was a hint of worry and concern in her tone. Of course, Ximen Zhanying guessed that the two were intimate.
Qi Ning hesitated for a moment, thinking about the situation in the palace that day.
Ximen Zhanying and Chi Danmei rushed over when they saw that they were injured, but Chi Danmei stopped halfway. After that, Ximen Zhanying helped him apply medicine, and Chi Danmei also avoided it far away. Of course, this was not because Chi Danmei wanted to alienate herself, but just taking into account Ximen Zhanying's face.
Although Chi Danmei and herself had a husband and wife name or even a husband and wife earlier than Ximen Zhanying, it was Ximen Zhanying who married Jinyi's family openly.
He knew that this matter would not be delayed for a long time, and he would explain it to Ximen Zhanying sooner or later.
Ximen Zhanying felt thoughtful when she saw Qi Ning, but she didn't
He immediately answered, and a hint of anger appeared on his pretty face, and he frowned and said, "Do you have anything to do with her? You... don't think I can't see it."
After Ximen Zhanying passed by, he knew that she could no longer be as irritable as before, so he acted as modest and docile as possible. Moreover, when she and Qi Ning were newly married, there were naturally no major conflicts.
But she was full of arrogance in her bones. If something really made her angry, it would be difficult to control her emotions.
At this time, she seemed to have forgotten that Qi Ning was still recovering from her injuries. Her eyebrows were frowning, and her face was already filled with annoyance. Qi Ning observed the words and looked at her. She knew that if she couldn't explain well, today's life would not be better. She forced a smile and reached out to hold Ximen Zhanying's hand. She wanted to ease the atmosphere, but who knew that Ximen Zhanying shrank her hands, staring at Qi Ning with her beautiful big eyes, full of questioning, as if interrogating a prisoner.
Qi Ning smiled bitterly and said, "Of course I want to explain it to you, but... don't look at me like this, I'm a little... a little scared!"
Ximen Zhanying suddenly stood up and sneered, "Scared? If you don't do anything bad, what's the fear? Are you afraid in your heart? Did you do something bad?" He bit his lip and said with annoyance: "She... she looks like a fox, and she is a woman who makes you men unable to move your eyes."
"She is a princess!" Qi Ning sighed, "It's not a fox!"
"Princess?" Ximen Zhanying was surprised: "What princess?"
"She was originally the princess of the former prince of Qi, but because of the battle for the throne of Qi, his father was harmed and the whole family suffered. Only she survived death." Qi Ning sighed, "So she is incompatible with the royal family of Qi, and...!" He lowered his voice and said, "She is the apprentice of the Lord of Baiyun Island in the East China Sea!"
Ximen Zhan's cherry blossom face changed and said in a silence: "Disciple of Donghai!" Then he raised his hand to cover his mouth, as if he was afraid that people would hear it, and then he said relievedly: "So... it turns out that she is a disciple of Donghai, no wonder she is so skilled in martial arts..." But he even said suspiciously: "She is a disciple of Donghai. When did you know her? Why did she... even though she tried her best to help you even if she tried her best!"
Qi Ning tried to ease the atmosphere so as not to suddenly get angry, and whispered: "I wanted to tell you this long ago, but... it involves the Sword God and the Lord of Baiyun Island, so...!"
Ximen Zhanying was even more surprised: "Sword God? Master Baiyun Island?" When she became interested, the anger on her face disappeared, and there were more questions. She approached Qi Ning and asked: "My husband, what's going on?"
Qi Ning no longer concealed it, so he assassinated the king of Dongqi when he was on his mission to Dongqi. He rescued Chi Danmei himself, but was trapped in the ghost bamboo forest and was controlled by others. In times of crisis, the Lord of Baiyun Island and the Sword God appeared one after another, saving the two, but they insisted on letting themselves and Chi Danmei get married. This past is very bizarre, and Qi Ning naturally used the Spring and Autumn style to say what he could say, and never mention what he could not say. If he could change it slightly, it turned out that the two great masters forced him and Chi Danmei to become husband and wife.
