I don’t know what Mrs. Hu said to the Hu family. That night, the two young masters from the Hu family came to the inn where they were staying again.
Both of them looked unhappy. They just said that this incident was a misunderstanding and pretended that nothing had happened.
After saying this, the eldest son of the Hu family bowed his hands and left, while the second son gave Qu Tiange a vicious look.
Qu Tiange didn't take it seriously and looked indifferent.
Luo Junyao was a little surprised. He didn't expect Mrs. Hu to be so helpful and directly persuade the Hu family to drop the matter.
She originally thought that the Hu family would have to talk to them some more, such as compensation or something.
Although this matter is really not Qu Tiange's fault, human nature is so hypocritical. Who would let someone be a girl?
Even in a place like Huaizhou, if a girl loses her reputation, her future marriage will not go smoothly.
Luo Junyao sat in a chair with his chin propped up and was dazed for a long time. Xie Yan came in from outside and saw her like this. He walked over and touched the top of her head and whispered: "What's wrong?"
Luo Junyao said quietly: "I feel... I seem to have become a bit hypocritical like those old men in Yong."
Xie Yan raised his eyebrows, sat down next to her and said, "How do you say that?"
Luo Junyao sighed and said: "This matter is obviously not Qu Tiange's fault. If it had been a few years ago... I should have just beaten that girl from the Hu family to the point where she wanted to die of embarrassment and never see anyone again. No matter what happened, I would still try to persuade Qu.
Tiange, let’s go together to see the Hu family and give them a good fight. But now, I obviously don’t like them either, so I still want to negotiate peace with them in a roundabout way, and even want to give in to compensate them and spend money to settle the matter.”
Xie Yan chuckled lightly, pulled her into his arms, and said softly: "Shao Yao is more mature and sensible. I know you are thinking about Jin Yan and Miss Su."
No matter what they do, the Hu family can't do anything to them.
However, the Hu family may not be able to find out their true identities, but they may not be able to find out that they have friendship with the Governor's Mansion. Yao Yao handles this matter so carefully, just because he doesn't want to add any more obstacles to Luo Jinyan's already difficult governance of Huaizhou.
The sixth room of the Hu family may not be able to affect Luo Jinyan and Su Rui in the overall situation, but sometimes it is those inconspicuous little things that are disgusting enough.
There are also many powerful figures who have been defeated by little-known figures.
No matter how powerful Luo Jinyan and Su Rui are, they are still outsiders. Once they have any interests that conflict with the local indigenous people, it is the best time for those villains who secretly hold grudges to take action.
Xie Yan looked down at her and said, "If you are still not happy, I will accompany you to clean up the Hu family?"
Luo Junyao shook his head repeatedly, "The matter has been resolved, so let's forget it."
Xie Yan lowered his head and nodded her eyebrows, and said with a smile: "Now that everything has been resolved, don't be unhappy. We will leave Huaizhou tomorrow, why don't you say goodbye to Miss Su?"
"That's right!" Luo Junyao finally realized what he was doing and quickly jumped up and ran out.
After Luo Junyao ran out, Xie Yan turned his head and looked at the door on the other side.
Qu Tiange walked in from outside with his sword in his arms. Xie Yan said, "Does Tiange have anything to say about the Hu family?"
Qu Tiange shook his head and said: "No, the princess thinks too much."
He had no dissatisfaction with the Princess Regent's handling of the matter. The incident was considered to be caused by him from beginning to end, but it was resolved by the Princess Regent in a hurry.
He also knew in his heart that the Princess Regent's actions seemed to be nonsensical, but she was actually very measured and had a bottom line.
For example, no matter how she planned to solve this matter, she never thought of actually letting him marry a girl from the Hu family or asking him to bow his head and apologize.
In the past few years, he has been working with Xie Yan in the Regent's Palace, and he is no longer the aloof and aloof guest he once was. Most of the time, as long as he doesn't cross the bottom line, he won't do anything if he can.
Xie Yan said: "That's good, let's get ready and we'll leave tomorrow."
After saying that, Xie Yan hesitated for a moment and said: "I just received the news today that Mr. Qu went to southern Xinjiang." Qu Fang has always been peaceful in the past few years, and he also had the affection to protect Luo Junyao before. Xie Yan also believed that Qu Fang
Tiange's character no longer hinders Qufang.
However, Qu Fang did not leave Shangyong after gaining complete freedom. He still lived in that small courtyard. Occasionally, he would teach a few children about martial arts when he was free, and his life was quite leisurely.
Hearing this, Qu Tiange frowned slightly, and Xie Yan said, "No one from the capital is following him, and I don't intend to stop him." If he wants to stop Qu Fang by force, Yu Mingqiu, Luo Yun and others are in the capital, as well as Mi
The masters of Ziying may not be able to stop him.
But Xie Yan didn't plan to do that from the beginning, and naturally he didn't plan to stop Qu Fang himself.
Qu Tiange was silent for a long time, then nodded and said: "It doesn't matter, he won't do stupid things."
Hearing that they were leaving, Su Rui was very reluctant to leave, but she also knew that they did not have much free time to stay in Huaizhou, so she could only drag Luo Junyao to stay overnight at the Governor's Mansion. The two of them chatted until midnight before falling asleep.
For Su Rui, although life in Huaizhou is fulfilling and enjoyable, being far away from her hometown, family and friends still occasionally makes her feel lonely.
Luo Junyao's arrival naturally made Su Rui particularly happy.
Not only can you learn about Luo Jinyan's affairs in southern Xinjiang, but you can also know some things about Shangyong. No matter how many letters are exchanged, how can it compare to the personal account of someone familiar with it?
Early the next morning, Su Rui personally sent the group out of the city.
Watching several people riding away from a distance, Su Ruifang smiled and led the people back to the city.
Being lonely and missing your loved ones is inevitable.
But since she had chosen this path in the first place, she would have done well and followed her own path. She would not have let down either herself or the people who had been enlightened and generous in supporting her choice.
What's more, when Huaizhou is completely stabilized in another two years, they will naturally be able to go back to visit relatives.
The vast sea of desert, thousands of miles of yellow sand.
The new royal court of the Qi people is located in a rare oasis in the desert. The area here is not large and cannot be compared with the past, but it is also the place where the Qi people flourished.
This chapter is not over yet, please click on the next page to continue reading! In the words of the Central Plains people, it is called the Land of Longxing.
Not far to the southwest of the oasis is a large expanse of Gobi. At a glance, the desert is vast and boundless, and the Gobi is desolate and barren.
Although it is called the Royal Court, there are not many buildings. Except for a palace in the center of the oasis, there are a few stone houses around, and most people live in tents.
With thousands of miles of yellow sand surrounding it, it is not an easy task to build a house.
In the palace in the center of the oasis, Bai Jingrong was leaning on the white fur felt with her eyes closed to meditate.
Although she is already over fifty, Bai Jingrong still looks like she is in her thirties. Even though there are faint fine lines at the corners of her eyes, it does not affect her beauty and charm at all.
She was wearing a luxurious dark gold dress, leaning lazily on the pillow behind her. The magnificent furnishings in the palace could not suppress her stunning appearance. She was just sleeping peacefully, and everything became a beautiful foil for her.
.
But compared with more than three years ago, Bai Jingrong now has a hint of fatigue in his brows.
Just one glance at it makes people feel pity in their hearts.
"The Queen Mother." A waiter came in from outside and whispered.
Bai Jingrong raised his head slightly and said, "What's the matter?"
The waiter lowered his head and eyes, not daring to raise his head to look at her. He just said respectfully: "In the main hall, the nobles of the clan had a quarrel with the king."
Hearing this, Bai Jingrong slowly sat up and sneered: "What's the use of telling me? Now the Qi people are in charge."
The waiter didn't dare to talk too much.
Bai Jingrong snorted softly and said, "What do those old guys want to do?"
The waiter said: "It is said that...the environment of the royal court is too bad and cannot support so many people. I want the king to lead the warriors of the Qi tribe to fight back to the east and take back the royal court."
Bai Jingrong stood up and said coldly: "Fight? What to fight with? Do they really want to fight? They couldn't beat Da Sheng four years ago, how can they beat it now?"
Bai Jingrong is really not in a good mood right now, and her words have lost the peace and elegance of the past, and are full of ridicule.
Why do those people want to fight back to the royal court? They clearly don't want someone with foreign blood to be the king of Qi, but they don't have enough strength to regain the throne, so they want to make both them and Da Sheng suffer.
Those reckless men have become wiser in recent years.
What a pity he is still an idiot!
"M...Queen Mother?" the waiter looked at Bai Jingrong hesitantly.
Bai Jingrong was silent for a moment, and finally turned around and walked outside.
The royal palace of the Qi people's royal court is not large, and it is absolutely impossible for the high-ranking concubines of the Central Plains emperor to occupy the same palace.
The entire palace is only divided into three parts: the main hall for meetings, the residence of King Qi and his wives and concubines, and the residence of the Queen Mother.
After the death of the former King Qi, his wives and concubines who had sons were driven by Bai Jingrong to live with him, and those who did not have sons were sent home to remarry. Of course, among them there were inevitably some who had fought with Bai Jingrong, so naturally there would not be any
What a good ending.
After crossing the gate of the palace where he lived, not far ahead was the palace where King Qi discussed political affairs.
But before Bai Jingrong could walk over, she stopped when she saw the oncoming person.
"I've met my mother." Ji Rong saluted respectfully.
Bai Jingrong looked at Ji Rong with some critical eyes and said, "Why are you here? Shouldn't we be discussing matters in the main hall at this time?"
Ji Rong lowered her eyes and said, "I feel unwell today, so my eldest brother asked me to come back first."
Bai Jingrong glanced at Ji Rong coldly. She was very dissatisfied with this son, but now she had to rely on him.
Bai Jingrong prides herself on being shrewd, but she didn't expect that she had plotted against everyone in the world, and the one that made her most miscalculated was her own eldest son, who had the highest hopes for her.
Should I say that he deserves to be her Bai Jingrong's son?
After ascending to the position of King Qi, he did not want his mother to share his power, not to mention what Bai Jingrong wanted was not just sharing.
This made him dissatisfied again and again, and a lot of dissatisfaction gradually accumulated, leading to the current situation.
Queen Qi's mother and son were at odds with each other, which also gave the original nobles of the Qi tribe an opportunity.
But Ji Rong didn't help, so Bai Jingrong didn't dare to get rid of his eldest son rashly.
The Qi people are more xenophobic than the Central Plains people, let alone something as important as the throne?
If it is a Central Plains dynasty, the emperor must practice filial piety even if he is not his biological mother. Even if the previous emperor has no sons, the adopted new emperor must respect the queen mother as his legitimate mother.
But in the Qi tribe, once the person on the throne is not her biological son, everything Bai Jingrong has now will be lost, and she will become a complete outsider.
If she is still young, she may even marry the new King Qi.
Of course, if the person currently on the throne is not her biological son, with her beauty, she can still become the wife of the new King Qi.
But Bai Jingrong didn't want to do that. Why would she want to be a concubine if she could be the Queen Mother? With the lessons learned over the years, those Qi people would only be more wary of her.
Therefore, the only person on the throne of the Qi clan's royal court is her son Bai Jingrong.
Ji Rong didn't care about her mother's expression, she lowered her eyes and said, "Mom wants to go to the main hall? Then I'll go back first."
Bai Jingrong snorted coldly and walked directly past him.
Ji Rong looked at her retreating back calmly, the expression on her face did not change at all. After a while, she slowly turned around and walked towards the outside of the palace.
Now the palace belongs to his brother. Even though Ji Rong is King Qi's biological brother, he can only live outside the palace.
Bai Jingrong stood outside the main hall, and there was a lot of noise inside.
Even though Bai Jingrong has placed many people in various parts of the Qi tribe over the years, the people who really hold the power are mostly the nobles of the Qi tribe. There are also people from the Central Plains who have followed Bai Jingrong in these years, but not many.
In the main hall, King Qi, who had just succeeded to the throne less than a year ago, inherited all the advantages of his parents' appearance.
Compared with Ji Rong, he is taller, taller and healthier. His skin color is much fairer than that of ordinary Qi people, but not as weak and slender as Ji Rong. At first glance, he is a tall, handsome and imposing man.
This chapter is not finished yet, please click on the next page to continue reading the exciting content! He was sitting on the throne at this time, calmly watching everyone quarreling below.
"Last winter, how many elderly people and children in our tribe starved to death? This place is too small and too barren to support the current population of the Qi tribe." A tall man wearing a scarlet robe said loudly: "
The Dasheng people have no ability to occupy the Royal City. They only sent less than 10,000 people to garrison last winter! We can easily take back the Royal City!"
A middle-aged man who looked like a native of the Central Plains said: "Xie Yan is known for his scheming. Who knows that they didn't do this on purpose to lure us back and send troops to encircle and annihilate us?"
People who had the same view as him echoed in unison. They were really psychologically affected by the Zhenguo Army a few years ago. Even after several years, they still feel a little uneasy when mentioning Xie Yan.
"This is a member of our Qi tribe. Why are you, a Central Plains person, interrupting?"
The Qi man said angrily: "Who knows if you are the spies of the Central Plains people? Our Qi warriors are unparalleled in bravery. If someone hadn't betrayed us, how could we have lost to the Dasheng people?"
"What did you say?!" The people from the Central Plains were also angry. Although they were foreigners, they had been among the Qi people for many years and were not completely powerless.
What's more, the current King Qi is half of the Bai family and is the son of the princess they follow.
The quarrel between the two parties became more and more fierce, and a fight was about to begin.
The man sitting on the throne raised his eyebrows slightly and raised his hand to stop the two groups who were about to fight.
"Okay." King Qi said in a deep voice: "This is a place for discussion, not a market for you to quarrel. If you want to quarrel or fight, go out."
Everyone looked at King Qi. No one on either side could convince the other, so naturally they wanted the King to make the decision.
King Qi looked at the door, "Mother, what do you think?"
