They attended a not-so-lavish farmhouse banquet, but it didn't seem to have any impact on Jun Chenyuan and Qi Baoer. After the two returned to the village, they dispersed. They were both busy people, so sneaking out would be a big blow to them.
It's already a race against time.
The imperial court did not 'exploit' officials to the point of beating their bones, and they also had holidays. Officials of Qi Baoer's level had two days of rest per month, and these two days were adjusted by the officials themselves.
.
Of course, for officials like Qi Baoer, who is already the head of a department, holidays and other matters are no longer important. The emperor will not care whether they follow the rules or not. He just never goes to work. As long as he can
If the Ministry of War is well managed, it can relieve the emperor's worries, and no one will say anything or dare to say anything.
It's just that, as long as the head of a department has a sense of responsibility, it doesn't matter whether there is someone watching whether he or she is on time. Every one of the six ministers has returned home after leaving his post and brought business with him.
After sending Old Man Qi and Old Mrs. Tian back to their house, what awaited Qi Bao'er was another pile of memorials that couldn't be seen to the top.
The days passed smoothly, and another month passed in the blink of an eye.
It has entered midsummer, and the Qilin Kingdom is entirely in the north. The capital of the Qilin Kingdom is located in the north in terms of the entire continent, with cold winters and hot summers.
However, the young men and women in Beijing are not affected by this climate. Among the flowers, they go out to lakes, enjoy flowers, and other activities similar to blind dates almost every day.
Mrs. Tian flipped through a pile of invitations with a worried look on her face, "Look at how carefree these brothers and sisters live, playing today and tomorrow; look at our baby, I haven't seen her for several days.
Okay. Why is there so much going on in the imperial court?"
Old man Qi, who was eating half a watermelon that he had just fished out of the well, raised his head and looked at her in confusion, "Ah? Guaiguai is a minister, how can you have a busy day with that?"
What is the significance of this question?
Mrs. Tian clenched her fist and punched him in annoyance, "Our baby is also fourteen. If we put this in our village, we should have gotten engaged long ago."
So that’s what you were worried about!
Old man Qi looked at Mrs. Tian and said speechlessly: "Is that what we can worry about about our obedient marriage?"
Not to mention that the emperor and the Great Xian King are being suppressed by the superiors, but let’s just say that Guaigui is on his own. Which of the two grandfathers can be the master of Guaiguai?
Thinking of the Great Wise King, the old man lost his appetite for eating melons. He sighed worriedly and said, "I don't know how the Great Wise King is doing now."
Qin Tian Jian combined the birthdays of the Great Xian King and Qi Bao'er and chose the most auspicious day to recognize their relatives, August 17.
However, the Great Xian King suddenly fainted half a month ago. In just half a month, it was as if something suddenly sucked away his vitality. From the beginning, he could wake up for four or five hours a day, to now
It's a blessing to wake up once in a day.
Old man Qi went to see the Great Sage King yesterday and almost didn't dare to recognize him. He already felt like he was running out of gas.
It is precisely because the situation of the Great Xian King is not good, even Zhuo Qi can only shake his head when he goes to see it, so the two elders have no objection to the fact that Qi Baoer has been living in the Great Xian Prince's Mansion these days.
Mrs. Tian also sighed and murmured as she pulled the invitation: "I'm just worried about the Great Good King. Do you think there is anyone in the capital who doesn't know that our Bao'er is the adopted daughter of the Great Good King? That's all.
It is a ceremony to recognize relatives... To be disrespectful, if the Great Wise King is good or bad, we, Bao'er, the 'adopted daughter', have to keep filial piety for him. This won't delay it.
It would be a big mistake to have a ceremony. It will not do any good to our baby, but when the time comes..."
Old man Qi: "..."
For a moment, he didn't know how to complain.
It sounds like the Great Wise King will be engaged immediately if nothing happens to him.
The old woman was not bad-hearted, but her vision was a bit poor, and she cared too much about her granddaughter. Therefore, Old Man Qi was not angry because of Mrs. Tian's "irrelevant" words, but he just felt that her worries were too unnecessary.
"Would you like to let Grandma Ye go shopping with you?" Go to a store to buy something to relax, so you don't have to think about what you have all day long.
Mrs. Tian: "..., what do you mean?"
Why didn't she feel comfortable hearing this?
How dare Old Man Qi say what he really meant? He picked up half of the watermelon and ran away, "This melon is so sweet. I'll take two to the other side for Old Jin King to taste."
It's a good thing he didn't run away. As soon as he escaped, Old Mrs. Tian realized what he just said was wrong. She slammed the table in anger and said, "You damn old man, are you burying me again?"
Turning around to look, Old Man Qi had already scurried out of the door, turned around and disappeared.
Mrs. Tian was so angry that she almost picked up the feather duster and chased after her.
At the same time, the person they were talking about was currently in Prince Daxian's palace.
Different from the noisy Princess Princess's Mansion, the Prince Daxian's Mansion was completely silent, so quiet that it was a bit eerie.
In such a large palace, there are not even a few servants to be seen.
In the bedroom in the main courtyard, the Great Sage King on the bed does not look too 'exaggerated' to the naked eye. Apart from his face being as pale as paper, there are almost no other changes in him.
But a face as pale as paper is enough, plus he is almost asleep all day long, looking over it, it looks like...
Qi Baoer walked into the bedroom. Eunuch Lin knelt on the ground beside the bed and wiped the hands of the Great Xian King.
Yes, the person taking care of the Great Xian King now is not Eunuch Lin who has always followed the Great Xian King, but Eunuch Yang who is beside Qi Baoer.
The whole story will be discussed later.
"Eunuch Lin, did the prince wake up today?"
Eunuch Lin knelt down and took a step back to give up his position. He shook his head helplessly, "To return to the princess, the prince has not woken up since he fell asleep yesterday morning."
Qi Baoer walked to the bed, fixed his eyes on the Great Xian King, and stretched out his right hand towards Eunuch Lin.
Eunuch Lin held up the wet handkerchief with both hands. After Qi Bao'er took it, he slowly stood up with his hands on his knees and bowed aside.
Qi Baoer sat on the edge of the bed and wiped the hands of the Great Xian King, while saying slowly: "Today I received the report of the border battle, the victory at Wuyue Pass, and the Wuyue Kingdom has handed over a letter of surrender to General Feng.
Over at Yanxi Pass, Gaochang's army has also retreated hundreds of miles.
…”
First I talked about the recent affairs of the Ministry of War, and then talked about some things that happened in the DPRK.
Throwing the wet handkerchief back into the basin aside, Qi Baoer frowned and said, "There are emperors and princes in the court, and countless civil servants and military officers below. Even if the prince has already made a decision, why should he torture himself like this?
"
People's destiny is determined by heaven, and to change it is to change destiny against heaven; therefore, Qi Bao'er never wanted to change the originally determined life span of the Great Sage King.
But she didn't expect that the one who would end up going against the sky would be the Great Sage King himself.
He could not let go of this country or its people.
But how could it be easy for an ordinary person like the Great Sage King to defy heaven? Even if he was burning the merits he had accumulated throughout his life.
This was the scene where he had only a glimmer of vitality and was sleeping all day long.
