Chapter 1101: A chance encounter in the imperial garden
But this time Qi Baoer saved her again.
It is said that a great debt of gratitude will turn into an enemy for a long time. The more you have suffered the kindness, the more you will become accustomed to it. This is not necessarily the case. For those who truly appreciate gratitude, this statement is not practical.
How could the Zhao family, who has been guarding the frontier of Qilin Kingdom for generations without any regrets, really be such an ungrateful person?!
It's one thing to feel a little resentful, but it doesn't stop the Zhao family from feeling more and more indebted to Qi Bao'er and always looking for ways to repay him.
Unfortunately, although the Zhao family is powerful, compared with the Xian Prince, what the Zhao family has now is nothing. In other words, Qi Baoer does not need anything from the Zhao family in return.
Sometimes people are so indebted. If the benefactor asks for repayment from the beneficiary, he will definitely feel uncomfortable, and even the more petty-minded may feel resentful. But on the other hand, if the benefactor asks for nothing,
On the contrary, many recipients of favors feel unhappy because the favor has not been repaid and they cannot feel at ease.
Mrs. Zhao is the latter type.
The reason for insisting on spending more time with Qi Bao'er is not to be able to like the other person, but because only when people get closer can they know what the other person really needs.
No, after she gets better, she will often go to Prince Xian's Mansion to let her know things that she had to wait until rumors spread all over the capital. It can be regarded as something interesting.
It's a pity that the two of them are not familiar with each other yet. After walking around for a while, they didn't exchange a few words of real personal contact. They were just chatting politely. Soon, Eunuch Bai, who was next to the emperor, came to the imperial garden in person.
Prince Xian, please leave.
Feeling that the foreshadowing was enough, Mrs. Zhao, who was about to talk about the key points, could only watch Qi Baoer's back hurriedly away with a little pity.
The nanny on the side looked amused and joked in a low voice: "Old madam, your gift is sincere and contains no other meanings. There is no reason why you can't send it out. It's worth your twists and turns..."
Long."
I almost blurted out the word "twist", but I was so confused that I changed my mind.
Mrs. Zhao didn't notice the problem in her words, and gave her a strange look, "The two houses didn't move around often before. Although they have had contact recently, they are not familiar with each other. What I prepared is still...
It’s a bit eye-catching.”
Mammy suppressed a smile and responded "Yes". The old lady had the toughest words in her body.
-
Eunuch Bai led Qi Bao'er on the way to the Qiankun Hall. He struggled for half the way before finally slowing down and approaching Qi Bao'er.
"Your Majesty, I want to ask you something. Is it possible?"
Qi Baoer: "..." How come everyone in the palace is so virtuous?
Or is this something you learned from Eunuch Fu?
"explain."
"Yes, this morning, Concubine Mei in Ci'an Palace passed away."
Um?
Is it such a coincidence?
However, you can’t ask her for advice on this matter, right?
As soon as the words got out of the beginning, the rest of the words could flow smoothly. Eunuch Bai told the story of Mrs. Mei one by one in one breath.
Concubine Mei was drafted into the palace for the second time before the late emperor's funeral. Among that batch of beautiful women, only Concubine Mei was favored.
But it wasn't Mei Tai's versatility or good looks that attracted the late emperor's favor, but her natal family.
Concubine Mei was born into a banker family, but the banker family is not the important point. The important point is that Concubine Mei’s biological aunt is Princess Kang.
"Concubine Mei is timid. After entering the palace, if nothing happens, she will hide in her own palace. Concubine Mei's current position as concubine is also posthumous. In the past, she was just a nobleman who lived in Concubine Qin.
In the palace."
That Concubine Qin came from the Fang family of the former left prime minister and was not an easy person to get along with. Not only did Concubine Mei's life not go as she wished, she was only twenty-five when she became Concubine Mei, and her body was already
The end of Qianglu.
Being timid and weak-boned, it was hard for Concubine Mei to live in the winter. "The palace servants were ignorant and made random remarks in front of Concubine Mei. It was supposed to be a matter for the palace, but the palace servants said it was
Something happened in Prince Kang's Mansion, and Concubine Mei was in a hurry..."
Qi Bao'er didn't know what to say for a moment. This already belonged to the concubine, so why did he still want to fight to the death?
What kind of ignorant people are you trying to trick a kid who hasn’t even gotten his kindergarten diploma yet?
"What do you say, Imperial Concubine?"
"The Imperial Concubine is also ill. She has been ill for almost a month. The imperial doctor said that the Imperial Concubine may not be able to survive for long."
The imperial concubine was already old, so her illness suddenly got out of control. It has been serious, relieving, severe, relieving, and on and off for more than twenty days, and she has not recovered.
Therefore, the imperial concubine is no longer able to take care of the affairs in Ci'an Palace.
Qi Baoer frowned slightly, "How could the imperial concubine be so ill?"
The last time she saw the imperial concubine, she was not only energetic on the face, but also full of vitality in her body. How could she not last longer in less than half a year?
Eunuch Bai couldn't answer this question. He had no control over the affairs in Ci'an Palace. How could he know?
Qi Bao'er didn't force him to answer. He seemed to just mutter to himself: "When a person dies, he is buried in a coffin. Why are there so many other nonsense?"
Eunuch Bai, who seemed to have heard something outrageous: "..."
But if you think about it carefully, it seems that it is really such a simple thing.
To put it bluntly, after all, it was the matter of the late emperor's concubines, and it was not worth making too much of a fuss.
Mentioning Princess Kang and Princess Duan, Qi Baoer then remembered the affairs of Prince Duan's Mansion, and wondered how the emperor would deal with the Yigan and others in Prince Duan's Mansion?
By the time Qi Bao'er arrived at the bedroom of Qiankun Palace, Jun Chenyuan had already changed into a black dragon robe and was sitting on the Luohan couch reading a book.
Seeing her coming in, Jun Chenyuan immediately put down the book with a happy face. Even though he was just reading, his stern aura suddenly calmed down. He was extremely gentle and seemed to have a hint of grievance at the same time:
"After greeting you, you disappeared. If Eunuch Bai hadn't been asked to look for you, wouldn't I have been able to see you until the banquet started?"
This tone, this content...
Anyone with a good brain can see and hear this person's thoughts.
The muscles in Qi Bao'er's mind were intact, but under that scorching gaze, she felt that the muscles in her mind were a little messed up.
When she woke up, the god man had been helped to sit on the Arhat couch, with the longan peeled by someone himself in his mouth.
This is a treasure. There are no refrigerators or planes here. Firstly, the fruit cannot be stored. Secondly, it is impossible to transport seasonal fruits over long distances because they will rot halfway.
The plate of longan in front of her was something that ordinary people with money could not afford.
Thanks to the blessing of the Qinglong Kingdom in the south, the entire territory of the Qinglong Kingdom is in the south, and the climate is much hotter than that of Qilin. The ripening season of fruits is different from that of the Qilin Kingdom. This is the season when longan is ripe in the Qinglong Kingdom.
But even if the season is right, we here in Qilin cannot eat longan in the winter. The difficulty lies in the second point, transportation is difficult.
This year, there was still a dispute between the country in the south and a small country. The small country was connected to Qilin at one end and Qinglong at the other. Then Qinglong also came out to intervene. The two big countries were stunned and ate up a long country until only the middle one was left.
Cube country.
Longyan, Qinglong specially sent envoys and arranged for the God of Speed to be sent to the capital.
