Wan Qiqing sat high on the dragon throne, his eyes narrowed, and he listened carefully to the border news.
King Yan is good at using troops and is proficient in the art of war. The 300,000 people transferred later are like another 500,000 troops in his hands. Together with the remaining 400,000 troops before, they are combined with the nearly one million Tiandu army led by the opponent's general.
, have officially fought for twelve games. With an advantage of seven wins, they have destroyed 200,000 people on the other side. Judging from this, destroying their army of one million is just around the corner. The Flame King even put down his bold words, and will return in triumph in less than a month.
.
A smile finally appeared on Wan Qiqing's face. This was the effect he wanted. He put all his money into it and was determined to win.
Fighting for years will only waste people and money, so it is better to attack it all in one fell swoop. Even if he got this throne by accident, he would not do anything regretful because of greed.
He didn't allow her to stay there one more day.
"It's all thanks to the emperor that our Qisa army has such power."
"That's right, that's right. Since the Emperor ascended the throne, everything has gone smoothly and the war has been successful. It is entirely due to the Emperor's blessing that he has blessed our Qisa Dynasty."
The high notes of the ministers were being sung louder than the last. Wan Qiqing just watched all this with cold eyes and did not answer. After the following songs of praise were completed, he slowly opened his mouth and said nonchalantly, "In order to boost morale, I want to drive you."
Conquer in person."
As soon as he finished speaking, the ministers immediately objected, "The emperor is a man of wealth and cannot tolerate any mistakes."
"Your Majesty, please think twice. You are a member of the people of Li and the country, so you cannot conquer it yourself."
"Your Majesty, please think twice."
"Your Majesty, please think twice."
For a moment, everyone in the court fell to their knees. Wan Qiqing was still sitting calmly on the dragon chair, and his pair of eagle eyes scanned everyone. Finally, they fell on Wan Qijing, and an imperceptible sneer appeared on his face.
Around the mouth.
"King Jing, what do you think?"
A hint of hatred flashed across Wan Qi Jing's pretty face, but it was fleeting. He straightened up and cupped his hands towards Wan Qi Qing, "The emperor is the new emperor who has ascended the throne. He should take state affairs as his top priority. In the opinion of still ministers, it is better...
… Let the humble ministers take the place of the emperor to conquer the war personally.”
That smile gradually appeared on his face. Wan Qiqing seemed to be thinking for a long time, and finally nodded, "Prince Jing and I are both descendants of the Wanqi family, so it would not be a loss of sincerity to fight for me personally. Everyone loves you.
What do you think?"
"This way, it's very good."
"Yes, yes, it's rare for King Jing to be so loyal."
In an instant, echoes were heard one after another. Wanqi Jing still looked like he would give up on anyone else. Even if he was going to fight on behalf of the emperor, he was calm and composed. But the hands at his sides were already clenched into fists.
"Okay, in this case, I will become King Panorama and be loyal to me."
As if everything was as he expected, Wan Qiqing immediately issued an edict, ordering Wan Qijing to be the deputy commander and go on the expedition on behalf of the emperor. If the Qisa Dynasty was not completely victorious, he would never return to the court without permission. Otherwise, he would be punished according to the decree of resistance.
"My lord, thank you Lord Long for your kindness."
Everyone knew the purpose of sending Wan Qijing to the battlefield. How could Wan Qiqing let go of the brothers who had fought for the throne together? King Fan has not been allowed to go to the court to participate in politics until now. Even if King Zhao has the first
Jian is far away from the land of right and wrong, but who can guarantee that he will live in peace here.
After the court, Wan Qiqing directly sent several close ministers to the imperial study. The refreshments carefully prepared by Concubine Mei became the food of the red carp in the pond.
Standing by the pond, watching the fishes competing for food, her elegant and noble face exudes a sense of independence from the world. She does not need to compete with other concubines like these fishes, but sadly since moving into the palace
She stayed alone in the empty room. In the past, she didn't care and was content with herself. But since that night, everything changed. Even when there was no other woman around him, she actually wanted to monopolize him.
Once this terrible desire for exclusivity arises in her heart, it will be like a poisonous snake and beast, devouring her only pure desire at any time and place. It will constantly urge her to get what she wants even by any means.
It often made her shudder.
"Mei Fei is so elegant and cheerful,"
Seeing the person suddenly appearing next to her, Concubine Mei frowned slightly, then turned her head and ordered to Dong'er and the palace maids behind her, "You guys go down first."
"yes,"
Turning back, his expression was a little tense, "Prince Jing, this is the backyard of the deep palace."
Wan Qijing smiled casually and unfolded the paper fan in his hand. Even though it was already the cold winter in December, his fan had never left his hand.
"Haha, when Concubine Mei begged me to seal the brothel, she didn't have this attitude." Wan Qijing walked to her side and stood together by the pool, their figures reflected in the pool water.
Concubine Mei responded calmly, "At that time, I was the enemy of Dragon Girl, so I indirectly helped King Jing."
No matter whether the Dragon Girl is paired with King Zhao or King Qing, it will not be of any benefit to him, King Jing. She was only a wife of Prince Qing's house before and had no real power. Rather than asking for help, it is more appropriate to say that it is mutual help.
"Jealousy in a woman's family won't lead to anything." Wan Qijing shook the paper fan a few times and said calmly, "It's not easy to get rid of her today. I think it's not easy to get rid of her.
, you should also understand why the emperor is so eager to take over the Tiandu Kingdom. What if, the emperor takes over Tiandu and then goes north to take Yanbei Kingdom. At that time, it will be like taking something from a bag.
It's easy. When the emperor has leveled the two countries and unified the world, the position of queen under this person will only belong to that woman. And you, Mei Fei, I'm afraid it will be difficult for you to have a place by then."
Mei Fei's clear eyes just glanced briefly, and the feeding movement in her hand did not stop, "Prince Jing, there is no need to tell me these big principles. Whether it is a country or a war, it has nothing to do with us women. As for what you said
The emperor has the final say in selecting the queen, so is it too early to worry about it now?"
Yes, she once set up Dragon Girl, and she still holds a grudge against her. But how could she not know what King Jing had planned? She didn't want to be involved in this fight.
"Mei Fei is a smart person, and I won't sway with you." Wan Qijing took back the folding fan with a "pop" sound and said solemnly, "At this moment, you are still the only woman beside the emperor, why not take advantage of this moment to prepare for a rainy day.
What are the consequences?"
"Oh?" Concubine Mei raised her eyebrows, "What good will this do to Prince Jing?"
"Haha, since my fourth brother came to the throne, I have been isolated in the court. I just want to find a queen as a backer. I don't need to go to the emperor personally like now. But I have not lost anything to Concubine Mei.
.”
His modified eyes slightly raised, meeting his helplessness, "You want to go on an expedition on behalf of the emperor?" Is this why he is so eager to find an ally?
"That's right, we'll set off tomorrow. If we can't win at Qisa, I won't even think about coming back." Wan Qijing said as if he didn't care, but Mei Fei, who was as meticulous as dust, still saw the mystery behind it.
Presumably, his target should be the seat where Wan Qiqing is sitting. Looking for her is just a stepping stone. However, she never thinks that she is a doll that is easily manipulated by others. Instead of being isolated, she sits here and languishes every day.
Wait. It's better to strike first than to gain the upper hand.
Thinking of this, Concubine Mei no longer looked around, but asked openly and honestly, "What can you do to make me the queen?"
Upon hearing her question, Wan Qijing smiled decisively, "pop" and unfolded the folding fan again.
^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^
After the Winter Festival, a strong festive atmosphere infected the entire grassland. Everyone knew that this was Maimai's idea. He not only contributed money and efforts, but also wanted everyone to have a festival of their own. For such a person who only dedicated himself to the grassland.
I love my mistress from the bottom of my heart. She and her master are simply a match made in heaven. With them around, the grassland will definitely be more prosperous and harmonious.
After nearly twenty days of recuperation, Xueyan has almost recovered, and there is a feeling of joy in Zhuolang Fort.
Ah Shang took the lead and began to prepare for the wedding. From the wedding clothes of the couple, the jewelry worn by the bride, the purchase of wedding supplies, to the decoration of the wedding room, all major and minor matters were clearly assigned by Zhongsu and the saints in white.
.
Mai Mai, on the other hand, acted as if nothing had happened, nestled in the greenhouse, taking care of her favorite lily of the valley flowers. From time to time, she would discuss with him which flower was male and which was female. When the two of them were together,
They also have a tacit understanding, as if they only need a subtle glance or a tiny movement to understand the other person's intentions.
His smiles grew more and more, and as long as she was around, he would never begrudge his smile. And she, like a little girl, had learned to rely on him subtly, perhaps she had gotten used to it a long time ago.
A few days are just a blink of an eye, and the happy moments are always too fast for people to capture. Wan Qixun is about to leave Zhuolangbao and stay with Tong Lao for three or four days. This time, he still
It means going alone without anyone else.
Before leaving, Mai Mai began to warn endlessly, "This is the last time to detoxify. You must make sure that it will never relapse again. Don't rush back. I'm here in Zhuolangbao, so you can rest assured."
.Oh and there’s more…”
The saints in white all covered their mouths and snickered. They didn't expect that the Dragon Lady could have such a virtuous side. But the disciples looked at the smiling expression on their master's face with great interest. They really are so affectionate for you and me.
.
Wan Qixun watched Mai Mai chattering endlessly, and the curve of his mouth never moved down. He liked this feeling of being cared about. Therefore, he patiently listened to everything she asked and listened to her mouth.
Every sound made.
"Ms. Dragon Girl, if you keep telling me it will be dark soon." Xiao Yao smiled and pulled Mai Mai over, "It's better to let the Star Host get on his way as soon as possible."
Mai Mai lowered her eyes in embarrassment, "Did I say it took so long?"
"Haha, the mistress is expressing her heartfelt farewell," Gui Su took advantage of every opportunity and squeezed in whenever there was excitement.
Wan Qixun stretched out his right hand and held Mai Mai's cheek in his palm, "Wait until I come back..."
"Get married!" Behind Mai Mai, whether it was the saints, Wusu, or servants, they all shouted these two words with smiles. This should be the most anticipated event in Zhuolang Castle since it was built.
It's a big deal.
With a glance of indifferent eyes, everyone immediately silenced in understanding, but they all peeked at him with their peripheral vision.
Instead, Mai Mai was no longer shy, but nodded happily, "I'll wait for you to come back and marry me!"
