Shopkeeper Yang, after Mrs. Yang left, Jin Yu happily entered Chu Yiqing's room and said with a smile: "Sister, what's the good news? When Mrs. Yang came in the afternoon, she told about a family in the town with the surname Yuan.
Yes, my family is in the ceramics business. I also have a large ceramics factory at home. I am talking about the eldest son of that family. He is sixteen this year. Despite his young age, he is a good hand in business. I heard the conditions
Not bad, I wanted to ask your opinion, what do you think?"
When Chu Yiqing heard this, he smiled and said: "Sister Jin Yu, you are really impatient. Mai Xiang has just been divorced and her mood has not calmed down yet. You are so anxious and find someone else for her. I'm afraid she won't be willing."
?”
Jin Yu raised her eyebrows and said: "What's wrong with this? She doesn't like Ma Yunfei in the first place and has wanted to break off the engagement for a long time. Now that the Ma family proposed to break off the engagement, I feel a lot more relaxed when I see her! She is also fourteen.
It’s also the time to say kiss, if you delay it any longer, it will be difficult to find someone when you get older!”
"Then you have to give her time to relax. Besides, because of this incident, there are still many things in the town that have not been dealt with, and the business has not recovered yet. Don't worry, I will definitely find a good home for Mai Xiang when the time comes.
!" Chu Yiqing said quickly.
Jin Yu raised her eyes, stared at Chu Yiqing suddenly and asked: "Sister, tell me honestly, do you want Mai Xiang to marry Liu Yi? If you really have such an idea, you must tell me the truth!"
[
Chu Yiqing smiled and said: "My daughter is yours. I can make it happen if I can think of it? I feel that Mai Xiang still has Liu Yi in her heart now. If you let her pretend to be someone else to get married, it will be counterproductive. In fact, Mai Xiang
He's only fourteen, so there's no rush, just wait a few more years, after all, this is a lifelong event for Mai Xiang!"
Jin Yu thought for a while and then said: "Maixiang is my daughter after all, and I don't want her to be wronged. That's all. Then I will talk to Mrs. Yang first, and we will talk about this later!"
Chu Yiqing nodded.
Ever since Jin Yu decided to postpone Mai Xiang's marriage, although the matchmakers still came to visit, there were significantly fewer visits than before. At this time, Ma Yunfei suddenly came to visit.
In the hall, Jin Yu frowned and looked at Ma Yunfei displeased, "Why are you here again? Didn't you make it clear last time? Now you have nothing to do with my Maixiang, you are still less than me
Move around your home so that others don’t catch you gossiping!”
Ma Yunfei whispered: "Auntie, I just want to see Mai Xiang!"
"You'd better say goodbye. My Maixiang is the eldest daughter who hasn't left the palace. It won't be nice to have such gossip spread about you, a half-year-old who has been engaged before! Anyway, you are the master of the town, so you don't have to worry about finding a wife.
, please stop pestering my wheat fragrance!" Jin Yu said with a cold face as before.
"Auntie, I have known Maixiang for so many years, and we are about to become husband and wife, and now we are in such trouble...Auntie, please let me see Maixiang. No matter what, I can at least meet her once.
I just gave up, didn’t I?” Ma Yunfei begged again.
Jin Yu frowned. In fact, to be honest, she still liked Ma Yunfei very much. She had regarded Ma Yunfei as a prospective son-in-law before. Although the matter had reached this stage, Jin Yu knew that it was related to Ma Yunfei, but even if it was related, Mai Xiang could not
After marrying him, he thought about it and said: "Now that things are like this, everyone in this famous town knows about it. No matter how shameless my family is, this marriage cannot be concluded with your family. You have to know this!"
Ma Yunfei lowered his head, nodded for a long time and said, "Auntie, I know, I just want to see Mai Xiang. No matter what, I have to tell her some things in person!"
Jin Yu hesitated for a moment, then ordered Li Zi: "Call Mai Xiang out!"
Li Zi quickly responded to [A Chinese Ghost Story] Fox Demon! Fox Demon? Read the full text.
In the room, after listening to Lizi's words, Maixiang knew that this matter had to be settled, so she followed Lizi to the hall.
Jin Yu brought out a dustpan of wheat, sat on a small stool at the door of the hall, lowered his head to pick up the small stones inside, and said: "You are all half-grown now, so it is impossible to meet alone. I am sitting at the door. If you want to talk,
Just say it!”
Ma Yunfei quickly nodded gratefully.
Mai Xiang looked at Ma Yunfei. In fact, she didn't blame Ma Yunfei at all for this matter. To be honest, when she knew that the Ma family came to cancel their engagement, she was a little happy in her heart. At least, the Ma family's matter was automatically resolved.
, she didn't have so many worries in her heart. But now when she saw the thin and haggard Ma Yunfei, she felt a little bit sorry. After all, in her heart, she was the one who betrayed this marriage first.
"Maixiang, my father..." Ma Yunfei looked at Maixiang. There were many things he had thought about, but now they were stuck in his chest and he couldn't say anything.
"I don't blame your father. The situation at that time was for your own good!" Mai Xiang whispered, lowering his head and rubbing the corners of his clothes in confusion.
"Things have become so complicated that I have no shame in coming to see you or your family, but there is always one thing in my heart that I want to ask you. Were you really willing to get engaged to me?" Ma Yunfei asked suddenly.
[
Mai Xiang was stunned, raised her eyes, and met Ma Yunfei's dark eyes. She bit her lip to prevent herself from speaking.
"That person, named Liu Yi, when you were with him, I always felt uncomfortable. Afterwards, I thought about it, it was because of your smile. When you looked at him, you smiled very happily, but after so many years
, you look at me with a polite smile on your face every time!" Ma Yunfei said in a low voice.
Mai Xiang held her hands tighter.
"Originally, I thought that after we got engaged, I would marry you in a few years. Even if you have someone else in your heart, as long as I treat you well, your heart will come back sooner or later. But now..." Ma Yunfei smiled bitterly, "Look
After all, we are not destined to come here!"
Mai Xiang was silent, not knowing how to explain to Ma Yunfei.
"I came today because I wanted an answer. Now I have an answer. Don't worry, I won't come again!" Ma Yunfei whispered, turned and walked out of the hall, stood in front of Jin Yu who was pretending to be busy, and bent over.
He bowed and said, "Auntie, I'm going back!"
Jin Yu quickly stood up and said, "Well, walk slowly!"
Ma Yunfei saluted again and led Ma Quan out of the house.
Looking at Ma Yun's tall figure, Jin Yu sighed quietly and entered the house without looking back.
Mai Xiang bit her lip. She knew Jin Yu was angry, but she couldn't control her heart, so she had to turn around and go into the house.
Outside the hall, Chu Yiqing looked at this scene and could only sigh. He looked back and asked Lei Yuan: "Have you found Liu Yi?"
"When my subordinates arrived at the courtyard, they were no longer there, but there were signs of fighting at the scene. Could it be Emperor Rao's people who took King Huinan away?" Lei Yuan quickly replied.
Chu Yiqing frowned and remained silent.
In front of the gate of Raoguo Palace, Liu Yi, who was dressed in a python robe, raised his eyes and looked at the giant thing in front of him again. The first ray of sunlight in the morning slanted in from the east, and the tallest branches in the North Palace were suddenly dyed with a layer of golden yellow, making the morning wet
The air shimmered, and at this moment, the red walls of the palace suddenly stood in sight.
Looking at this magnificent palace, an indescribable emotion suddenly arose in his heart. The emperor always said that he should belong here, but in his memory, there is no such magnificent palace wall, no
Dazzling glazed tiles, only to be chased to death, cold and hungry. Although he is now the King of Huinan below one person and above ten thousand people, his heart is still full of panic. There are too many people who want that position.
, too many people want to fight for it, and if he wants to keep that position, his hands must be stained with blood, but he hates the smell of blood. Maybe he smelled too much immortal summons when he was young! Now, he only
If you want to be your own master, even if you are just a small servant, as long as you live a plain and happy life!
"Your Majesty, please!" Aru whispered. Although his attitude was respectful, his voice was cold.
Liu Yi breathed a sigh of relief and strode into the palace.
In the imperial study room, Liu Qian was closing his eyes to rest. When the servant's report sounded from behind him, he suddenly opened his eyes, his dark eyes filled with anger.
The door of the study room was opened by the chamberlain, and Liu Yi entered slowly. After seeing the anger of the man above the throne, he hesitated slightly and knelt on the ground with one leg.
"Get up!" Liu Qian's eyes turned cold, and he stepped forward and pulled Liu Yi up, "Don't forget that the noblest blood is flowing in your body. No one is worthy of your kneeling, not even me.
Not worthy either!"
"Brother, you are now the emperor of Rao. It is only natural that I kneel to you!" Liu Yi whispered, "You always say that I am nobler than you, isn't it because I used to be the prince? Brother, now you are the emperor, and you are the king of Rao."
Lord of the country, and I have never longed for that position!"
Liu Gan said coldly: "Whether you want it or not, I just want to fulfill my father's last wish. My father said that this position only belongs to you, and no one will own it except you, so sooner or later, this position will be yours!"
"[
"Brother, I beg you, don't be so stubborn. All this is achieved by your own efforts. I have done nothing. Moreover, I will not be a good emperor because I have no ambition. I just want simplicity."
A simple life! Brother, you are a good emperor. Since you came into power, you have ordered hundreds of officials, soldiers and civilians to submit sealed memorials, and you can openly state the gains and losses of political affairs. You have also personally selected and summoned generals to encourage them with military force.
; You also inspected unjust prisons and granted amnesty to the world. In just half a year, Rao's country became rich and powerful. All the ministers said that you are deep, resolute, resourceful, and a good emperor! Brother, I can't do this at all.
I don't have the heart to do this!" Liu Yi took a breath and said, "Brother, I beg you, don't force me anymore, let me do what I like, okay? It's enough for Rao Guo to have eldest brother. In the future, eldest brother will have
If I become the prince, I can pass on the throne to you. Please let me go, brother!"
Liu Qian's eyes almost burst out with fire: "You deliberately delayed the opportunity to fight, and all the ministers wrote to remonstrate with you. I haven't settled this matter with you yet, and you still dare to say such a thing? Aru, lock the prince in the palace.
, banned for half a year, during this half year, I will not allow you to come out of Huinang Palace for even half a step, you can just reflect on it inside!"
Aru was startled and seemed to want to persuade him, but seeing that Liu Qian was angry, he could only respond in a low voice, stepped forward and said to Liu Yi: "Your Highness, please!"
Liu Yi turned pale, but he still refused to give in, turned around and left in anger.
Aru quickly chased after him.
With a sound of "Pa!", Liu Qian slapped his hand on the dragon case hard, his eyes cold.
Liu Yi strode out of the royal study and saw Meishi approaching, with the palace maid Xin'er holding a stew pot in her hand behind her.
"Yi, are you back?" As soon as Meishi saw Liu Yi, her face was filled with joy and she stepped forward and said, "Your imperial brother has been worried about you every day, but you are finally back!"
Liu Yi had a stern look on his face and said nothing.
"What's wrong? Are you quarreling again?" Meishi was stunned and asked.
Liu Yi turned away.
"That's true of you. When you went out, your imperial brother was worried about you every day. Now that you come back, the two of you are quarreling again!" Mei Shi sighed.
Liu Yi stared at Meishi suddenly and said: "Sister-in-law of the Queen, hurry up and give birth to a little prince!"
Meishi was stunned, her face suddenly turned red, and she whispered: "You kid, what are you talking about?"
Liu Yi said seriously: "I'm not talking nonsense. The emperor's brother is the husband of the queen's sister-in-law. The queen's sister-in-law should give birth to a little prince for the emperor's brother, right?"
Meishi bit her lip, as if she had something to say, but she couldn't say, "Mother, the beauty is already lying down."
"Not only does Dr. Hu have superb medical skills, I heard that he can also mix a spice that can strengthen the body. Why don't the queen's sister-in-law go and get some and order them for the emperor's brother on weekdays!" Liu Yi said suddenly.
Meishi was stunned and raised her eyes to look into Liu Yi's eyes. Liu Yi winked at her and strode away.
Meishi stood there for a long time, then suddenly looked back and asked: "Xin'er, go to Dr. Hu and ask for some spices!"
Xin'er quickly responded.
Meishi bit her lip and took small steps into the imperial study.
Ten days later, Emperor Li's team finally returned to the capital, and all the civil and military officials knelt outside the palace to greet them.
Although the scratches on Li's face were almost healed, there were still some marks. He sat behind the curtain and said in a cold voice: "Okay, everyone, get up. I'm tired from the journey, so just leave if you have nothing to do!" "
"Who said it's okay? Something happened!" Suddenly, a sudden and powerful voice rang out, and an old man wearing a navy blue python robe walked out from the crowd. He was about fifty years old, energetic, and stared at a pair of tiger eyes. Blocked in front of Li's dragon chariot.
Li was stunned and frowned with a headache. The person who dared to stop his carriage like this, he knew without guessing that it was Prince Lu. This uncle-generation prince never gave him any face!
"Uncle Lu Huang, why did you come down the mountain if you weren't practicing your martial arts on the mountain? And Uncle Yu Huang, didn't come down the mountain with you?" Li Nai asked.
"Old man Yu is eating that spicy cabbage hot pot in there. Isn't it just cabbage? What's so delicious about it?" Old Prince Lu looked contemptuous when he mentioned coming with Mr. Yu.
Li could only sigh. These two princes, who were about the same age as him but were uncles, had been neglecting political affairs for so many years. Could their sudden return have something to do with Chu Yiqing's incident?
"Your Majesty, old man, I heard that you made your horse sit down. Is it true? If it is true, then you are really old and useless!" Prince Lu shouted loudly, causing all the civil and military officials to look at each other. Xiang Li.
Li coughed unnaturally. He had asked the people accompanying him to keep this matter a secret. Who was so bold to talk nonsense? If he found out...
"There is nothing to be ashamed of. Everyone gets old. Although these ministers shout long live the emperor all day long, the emperor is also a human being. Come down, take a few steps and let me take a look. Don't
Did you break your leg?" Prince Lu shouted carelessly.
Li's face suddenly became a little uneasy. Xiao Fuzi had a look and quickly stepped forward to persuade Prince Lu in a low voice: "Old Prince, if you want to make a joke on the Emperor, let's do it again when we get back. You see, there are still hundreds of civil and military officials guarding you!"
Prince Lu snorted coldly, and there was something in his words: "It's a trivial matter to be embarrassed by falling off a horse, but I'm afraid I'll break my head and do something stupid!"
Xiao Fuzi quickly persuaded someone to escort Prince Lu into the palace first.
When Xiao Fuzi returned to Li, he heard Li said coldly: "Old man Lu, his temper has not changed at all in all these years. If he hadn't saved me back then, I would really..."
He was so angry that he gritted his teeth.
"Your Majesty, please calm down, the dragon body is important!" Xiao Fuzi quickly advised.
Li waved his hands, closed his eyes, and took a deep breath.
Xiao Fuzi quickly let the dragon chariot set off and entered the palace.
In Ci'an Palace, Li Xian went to pay his respects to the Queen Mother. As soon as he entered the gate of Ci'an Palace, he saw two old men, Prince Lu and Prince Yu. Prince Yu, whom he hadn't seen for several years, seemed to have gained weight. He was white and fat.
At first glance, he looks like he is only in his thirties. He is well-maintained. Standing next to Li, no one can believe that Prince Yu is actually Li's uncle!
"How is the queen mother? How are the two imperial uncles?" Li stepped forward to say hello, but when they met, he was so confused! Read the full text.
"Emperor, I heard that you were injured after falling from a horse. Is it true? Is that the mark on your face? The servants around the emperor are really becoming more and more capable. They actually let such a dangerous thing happen to the emperor. From the Aijia's point of view, he should be dragged out and executed!
"The Queen Mother said coldly.
"I refuse to accept my old age. Who can I blame when I fall off my horse?" Prince Yu said with a smile, his eyes narrowed into slits when he smiled.
"No, after all, he is getting old, old!" Prince Lu nodded.
Li suddenly felt dumbfounded and said: "Two imperial uncles, we seem to be about the same age, right? And you are still uncles, who is old first?"
Prince Yu said with a smile: "Although we are uncles, we live in the mountains, absorb the essence of the sun and the moon, and are very healthy. Unlike the emperor, who stays in the palace all day long, with so many beauties around him, this body is scary
It’s almost a loss!”
The Empress Dowager immediately said: "Two uncles, now that they are emperors, how can they still joke like they did when they were children!"
Prince Lu nodded and said: "Yes, yes, you see, we were reckless!"
Li quickly said: "Mother, it's okay. I grew up with my two imperial uncles, and I'm used to it! We haven't seen each other for many years, and now that we meet again, I actually miss the past days!"
Prince Yu continued to smile and said: "I haven't seen you for many years, and earth-shaking changes have taken place in this palace. Your Majesty, I heard that your Majesty wants to make the princess of Shura Kingdom the crown prince's concubine?"
Although Prince Yu spoke with a smile, his small eyes still shone with cold light. Prince Lu also stared at Li with a pair of tiger eyes.
Li sighed, and sure enough, these two old princes who had been living in seclusion for a long time suddenly came out of the mountains just to deal with Chu Yiqing!
Seeing the stalemate in the atmosphere, the Empress Dowager couldn't help but smooth things over and said, "Uncles, I just came back. It's been a long journey, so why don't we talk about it another day!"
Li Ye took the opportunity to yawn and said: "Yes, Queen Mother, two imperial uncles, my arms still hurt, and my waist hurts when I sit down. As the two imperial uncles said, I'm afraid I won't be able to bear it anymore!"
I'll go back to the palace to rest today, and let's talk about this matter tomorrow, okay?" Before the two old princes could say anything, Li said again: "Uncle Yuhuang, the imperial kitchen has added a lot of new dishes recently, I'll let you know later.
The imperial dining room prepares all the dishes for the emperor to try, such as lotus leaf chicken, lotus leaf fish, and carrot sweet potatoes, which are all very good. By the way, there are also steaks and red wine, which are very delicious!"
As soon as Li said this, Prince Yu's small eyes immediately widened, and the corners of his fat mouth couldn't help but twitch.
Li smiled softly, turned around and told Xiao Fuzi to make arrangements, and then he went to get the news from the palace first.
In the palace, Li Jiang called Yang Xin and Chu Huan to the bed.
"How did Prince Lu and Prince Yu know about Princess Shura?" Li asked coldly.
Yang Xin and Chu Huan looked at each other, shook their heads and said, "I don't know!"
"Prince Lu and Prince Yu, although they have not cared about political affairs in recent years, they are my uncles after all, and they assisted me in my ascension to the throne. The late emperor gave them a Shangfang sword and a dragon-headed crutch. They can beat the king at the top and kill groups at the bottom.
Sir, if the two princes really get involved in this Chu Yiqing matter, I'm afraid it will be really difficult!" Li frowned.
"The two princes are jealous of each other, and they were supporters of wiping out the remnants of the Shura Kingdom back then. Now that they know that the royal family of the Shura Kingdom still has blood, I'm afraid..." Yang Xin also sighed quietly.
Chu Huan was young and only knew that there were two princes in this dynasty, but he did not know that these two princes had such great power. He was afraid that these two princes would hurt Chu Yiqing, so he quickly said: "Your Majesty, Chu
Yiqing has no intention of rebelliousness at all. Your Majesty knows this better than anyone else. Please dissuade the two old princes. Now that the Luo Kingdom is watching with eager eyes, the matter of the white porcelain tribute has not been resolved. If civil strife breaks out again because of the incident of the Shura Kingdom Princess, then
The country will be overwhelmed. Read the full text of the collection of Scumbags!"
Li frowned and frowned: "Why don't I know! So I have always asked people to keep the matter of Chu Yiqing a secret from the two princes and not to disturb the two princes' retreat. Who knows that now the two princes have all gone down the mountain and returned to the palace, and as soon as they met, they
I raised the matter of Chu Yiqing, but now it seems that this matter may not be easy to handle!"
For a moment, Yang Xin and Chu Huan didn't know what to do, and their faces were full of sorrow.
The next day, a banquet was held for the two princes in the emperor's palace, accompanied by the empress dowager. At the banquet, there were lotus leaf chicken, lotus leaf fish, carrot sweet potatoes, braised eggplant, spicy shrimps and various pickles, plus steak and wine.
, causing both princes to widen their eyes.
"If I had known that there were so many new foods in the palace, I should have come down from the Laoshizi Mountain eight hundred years ago!" Prince Yu lowered his head and smelled the steak, then sniffed hard and said.
"When Uncle Yu Huang left, he took away the three best chefs in the palace. Isn't that enough to satisfy Uncle Yu?" Li smiled.
"Those three royal chefs are just eating the same tricks. I have long been tired of eating them!" Prince Yu waved his hand. He couldn't help it anymore. He grabbed a piece of steak with his hand and put it in his mouth to chew.
, took another sip of wine, and his eyes immediately widened, "Okay, okay, delicious, it really is delicious!"
Prince Lu glared and said: "Old man Yu, don't worry about eating. What should we do about this little girl from Shura Kingdom?"
Li Ze immediately changed the subject and asked: "Uncle Yuhuang, how does it taste?"
Prince Yu nodded and said: "It's indeed good!" After saying that, he tasted the carrot sweet potato again, nodded and said: "Although this thing is sweet, it has a refreshing taste in the mouth. I also like to eat it!"
The Empress Dowager smiled and said: "This is made with sweet potatoes. It's very sweet. The Ai family likes this one the most!"
Prince Yu nodded and said: "Your Majesty, Your Majesty's Wife, if I want to take this royal chef away, you must not be reluctant to part with me!"
He smiled sharply and said: "I'm just a little royal chef. I don't want to give it up. But my royal chef can make these dishes. This wine and these side dishes are not made by the royal chef. To be precise, these dishes are not made in the same way."
The imperial chef came up with it himself, but someone else! That person’s skills in cooking these dishes are already perfect, and the taste is even better!"
After being told this by Li, Prince Yu tasted the food in his mouth carefully and said, "Your Majesty is right, this steak seems a bit old, the chicken and fish are not delicious enough, and the sweet potatoes seem to have been fried."
fire……"
"Uncle Yuhuang is famous for his emperor's tongue, so he can't fault it!" he said with a sharp smile.
"Who is that person? He made all these side dishes and wine?" Prince Yu immediately became interested, "Where is he now? I will take him back to the mountain and prepare delicious food for me every day.
!”
"Eat, you know how to eat, have you forgotten what the purpose of today is?" Prince Lu said displeased, and shouted loudly with anger in his Dantian.
Li immediately said: "Uncle Lu, don't worry, I say this matter is related to the matters that the emperors are concerned about!"
At this moment, in Chu Han's residence, Chu Yiqing and Li Huang received good news.
"What, we have it? Really?" Li Huang grinned from ear to ear and immediately stepped forward to hug Chu Yiqing tightly.
"Congratulations, Your Majesty, Congratulations, Your Majesty, Madam is indeed happy, it's been two months!" Xu Ting said, cupping his fists.
