Although there were no lanterns and decorations in Li Guo's palace, the faces of the palace residents were all full of joy, and their hands and feet were naturally much more agile. Shu Ke Moutin
"Hurry up, hurry up, this lantern is for the side hall, be careful!"
"These tables, chairs and benches are for the side hall. Yes, hurry up and set them up!"
"Sister Yingrun, where is this vase placed?" A palace maid asked.
Yingrun pointed to the side hall again.
Yingqian came out of the hall and looked at the joy of Qiankun Palace. She couldn't help but raise her eyebrows and said with a smile: "Okay, Yingrun, the layout is good!"
Yingrun immediately stepped forward, took Yingqian's arm and said with a smile: "That's natural. In terms of caring, I am indeed not as caring as my sister, but I have been with you for so long, so I still know your preferences!"
"You are already the mother of a child, and you are still so poor-mouthed? Literary Network, let her discipline you properly!" Yingqian couldn't help but turned around and scratched Yingrun's itch.
"Sister is still talking about me, isn't sister? Now she is the mother of two children!" Yingrun couldn't help but teased, "I gave birth to a son this time, but I raised my head in front of my brother-in-law, right?" [
Yingqian whispered: "When did I no longer be able to lift my head?"
Yingrun chuckled and said: "Forget it, others don't know what you are thinking, don't I know? Don't you just dislike Lei Shang for being a daughter, but I like daughters the most, and I have to give birth to a son!"
When she thought of her own children, Yingqian couldn't help but smile. While she was laughing and joking, she saw Mrs. Fang coming over with a few maids carrying baskets, and the two of them immediately shut up.
Now that Ms. Fang has stayed in the palace as a nanny, she will never marry. As they have a husband and a child, they naturally know how to avoid it and never mention the child of their husband in front of Ms. Fang.
Mrs. Fang came over with a smile. Seeing the two sisters laughing and joking again, she joked: "Have you finished your work? Don't be lazy again!"
Yingqian nodded and said: "It's almost done, all I need is Sister Fang's flowers!"
Yingqian said, taking the flowers out of the basket Fang was holding, and couldn't help but sigh: "Sister Fang is really good at her craftsmanship! No wonder Madam said she would leave the inner room to her at the beginning!"
Mrs. Fang smiled faintly and said, "Okay, stop praising me and go do your work quickly. It doesn't matter if I see it. You also know Aunt Yang's temper. If she sees it..."
Yingrun quickly stuck out her tongue and pulled Yingqian away.
Mrs. Fang looked at the two sisters, couldn't help laughing, and entered the inner room.
Not far from Qiankun Palace, there were two little palace maids looking at the excitement in the palace with envy on their faces.
"Look, that's the Queen Chu's palace. It's very lively inside right now. It's the Queen's birthday in a few days, and there's a banquet going to be held in the palace!" One of the older palace ladies said what she had learned.
Let it be listened to by the young palace maid.
"But sister, it's been two years since we entered the palace. Why didn't we hear about the Queen's birthday last year?" the young palace maid asked curiously.
"I asked the old ladies in the palace, not to mention last year, even in the past few years, the Queen and the Queen have not celebrated their birthdays, and neither has the Emperor. In this palace, only the Supreme Emperor and the Holy Ancestor Queen Mother have celebrated their birthdays, but since the Holy Ancestor
After the death of the Queen Mother, the Supreme Emperor went to the royal temple to worship Buddha and was not in the palace for a long time. This time, it is said that it was because the Queen Mother's filial piety period was about to pass and the Prince was not too young. The Queen Mother wanted to take advantage of her birthday to give him a gift.
The prince has chosen him as his concubine!" the older palace maid whispered.
"Qianhua, Clinique, how dare you two to talk about the queen and the prince behind their backs without saying anything?" Suddenly, the voice of Aunt Yang rang out from behind the two of them. The two little maids had always known Yang in the Qiankun Palace.
Mammy was very clear about rewards and punishments, and she showed no mercy at all. She immediately knelt down and begged for mercy.[
"Mom, spare your life, we will never dare to do it again!" Qianhua and Clinique quickly kowtowed.
"You are Princess Rou's people, so I can't say much. I just remember to keep your mouth shut, you know?" Aunt Yang scolded her in a deep voice.
The two little palace ladies hurriedly responded, thanked Nanny Yang, and left Qiankun Palace as if they were running away.
At this moment, Mrs. Fang came over and looked at the two little palace ladies running around with their heads in their hands. She couldn't help laughing and said, "Sister Yang, these little palace ladies are disobedient again?"
Aunt Yang nodded, "The Queen is so kind, sometimes these maids break the rules of the palace!"
Mrs. Fang smiled and said: "With Sister Yang here, how can we break the rules in this palace!"
Aunt Yang nodded lightly and left.
Fang smiled faintly and was about to return to Qiankun Palace. Suddenly, she saw one of the two palace maids who had escaped before, waving to Fang.
Fang hesitated for a moment and then stepped forward.
"What's going on?" Fang glanced at the little palace maid and asked.
"Auntie Steward, yesterday someone sent a letter to the guard, saying it was for you. My servant came to pick it up. Take a look!" Qianhua quickly took out the letter.
Fang didn't read the letter, but just looked at Qianhua, and quickly understood what Qianhua meant.
Recently, all the maids in the palace have been overcrowding to the Qiankun Palace. However, the Queen lives a simple life and does not like luxury. It has been a long time since she had a newbie! This time, because her birthday is coming, she plans to recruit a few newbies from outside.
Come here, so these days, many maids from other palaces come to show their courtesy to Fang.
Fang said softly: "Thank you very much!"
Qianhua quickly shook her head: "You're welcome, Aunt Fang, the slave's name is Qianhua. There is a guard guarding the palace gate, which will make things easier. If Auntie has any inconvenience in the future, she can also go to the Yuhe Palace to find the slave!"
Mrs. Fang whispered: "I have nothing to ask for your help, you should go back and serve your Concubine Rou!"
Qianhua was startled, knowing that her flattery was useless, and immediately felt a little lonely. She quickly lowered her face, responded, bowed and left.
Mrs. Fang glanced at the envelope, feeling a little strange.
After she left the Chu Mansion and entered the palace, her family did not interact with her at first, thinking that she, a harmonious daughter, was embarrassed. However, later the Queen personally issued an order for her to enter the palace as a steward, and she was considered a female official.
The family just started walking around with her, but her parents just saw her last month. Could it be that something happened at home again?
Mrs. Fang put the bamboo basket in her hand on the stone beside her, opened the letter, and after just reading a few lines, her expression changed.
He is back?
At this moment, on the hillside outside Chuhan Ming Town, Shangguan Yunyi looked at everything full of life, his eyebrows trembled slightly, and he whispered: "How does it feel to be back?"
Next to him, stood a man with a Chinese character face. He was dressed in green robes and had a handsome appearance, but there was a cold look between his eyebrows. He was Chu Shaozheng, who had disappeared for many years.
Chu Shaozheng looked back lightly, looked at Shangguan Yunyi's side face, and whispered: "Of course I feel the same as Mr. Shangguan!"
Shangguan Yunyi turned his eyes and sneered: "Same? Do you know how I feel in my heart at this moment?"
"Those who are complacent and have hurt us and taken away everything from us will regret it one day!" Chu Shaozheng said in a low voice.
Shangguan Yunyi raised his eyebrows, "Do you really have the heart to attack Chu Huan? You love that person very much!"
Chu Shaozheng clenched his fists tightly, "Where is Mr. Shangguan? Mr. Shangguan may be so cruel?"
"Don't tell me anything about that woman again!" Shangguan Yunyi was suddenly angry.
Chu Shaozheng slowly stretched out his palms, "Now Master, do you understand how I feel?"
Shangguan Yunyi sneered.
At this moment, some followers came.
"Master Lin, should we stay in a famous town tonight or continue moving forward?" the entourage asked.
"Keep moving forward!" Shangguan Yunyi waved his arm.
The entourage quickly responded.
From that day on, Shangguan Yunyi, whose pseudonym was Lin Bo, led Luo Guo's birthday congratulatory team to travel day and night, and finally arrived in the capital ten days before Chu Yiqing's birthday.
On the streets of the capital, many people were attracted by the sound of gongs and drums and went to watch the excitement.
There were more than a dozen large and gorgeous carriages, all of which were boxes sealed with red and gold paint. The seals were stamped with Emperor Luo's jade seal. Dozens of guards in front and behind cleared the way and came in a mighty manner.
"I heard that Emperor Luo sent an envoy to congratulate the Queen on her birthday. Look, the car is full of birthday gifts!"
"Congratulations on your birthday? Didn't you say that Luo Kingdom is going to war with us? How come you are here to congratulate us on your birthday?"
"Who knows, but among us people, who wants to fight?"
"That's right, as long as everything is safe and sound!"
…
Lei Yuan squeezed into the crowd, looked at the majestic cavalry, and left with an expression on his face.
In the imperial study room of the palace, Li Huang was reviewing memorials, accompanied by Prince Li Yi. "Recently, more and more Luo people have moved from Beihan in the southwest. Is there a resettlement policy?" Li Huang asked.
Li Yi immediately replied: "Beihan is Han Yun's sphere of influence. Han Yun is an upright person, so there should be nothing wrong with him!"
Han Yun was the scholar Li Yi met three years ago when he was dealing with the Yucheng case. Later, the scholar won third place in the palace examination in the second year. Together with Li Yi, he was quickly reused.
Just last year, he was sent to Beihan, which is connected to the land of Luo State, to carry out the resettlement work of Luo people.
Li Huang nodded, "You proposed to activate Han Yun. I hope he will not disappoint your expectations!"
Li Yi smiled and said: "No!"
Li Huang just looked around and walked, and then he saw Lei Yuan striding in.
"Reporting to the emperor, the Luo State envoy's team has entered the city. Wherever the Luo State envoy passed, gongs and drums were loudly beating, so that the people would not know about it!" Lei Yuan reported in a low voice.
Li Huang frowned, "What on earth is Emperor Luo trying to do? He pressed troops at the border and sent people to provoke him several times. Seeing that the war between the two countries is imminent, at this time he actually sent an envoy to congratulate the Queen on her birthday, and
Isn’t it too weird?”
Li Yi also nodded, "The envoy from Luo State is so grandiose that he may be creating an illusion of good relations with our country to deceive the people! If our country forcibly sends troops under this situation, I am afraid the people will complain!
"
Lei Yuan quickly said: "Congratulations, Prince!"
"In that case, I'll leave this matter to you, Yi'er!" Li Huang turned to Li Yi and said, "You have arranged everything for the Luo Kingdom's envoy. I want to see what the Luo Kingdom is doing!"
Li Yi responded quickly.
At this moment, in the wing of Qiankun Hall, Fang couldn't come back to his senses for a long time.
Chu Shaozheng came back and asked her to meet outside the palace. Why did he want to see her? After eight years of separation, did he have anything else to say to her?
"Sister Fang, the Queen has invited you!" Suddenly, a bright voice came from outside the room.
Mrs. Fang quickly put away the letter, gathered her emotions and stood up. She responded loudly and hurried out.
"What's wrong with Sister Fang?" Yingrun asked quickly when she saw that Fang's face was not good.
"No, it's okay!" Fang quickly licked her temples with her hands and followed Yingrun over.
In the side hall, Chu Yiqing was checking the account books. She has not changed her habits for so many years. But now, the people she brought to the capital from Chu Han have taken charge of their own affairs. Last year, she even sent Ergazi to
In the cities below, Grain Rain has just passed, and news of a bumper harvest of early rice has spread from various places.
On the desk next to her, there is a little girl less than three years old, wearing a red jacket and green trousers, who is drawing something on the paper. She has a bun on her head. She has two dimples when she smiles. Her eyes are big and very...
cute.
"Mother, mother, look at the moon I painted!" Rou Fu raised the painting in his hand and called Chu Yiqing to take a look.
Chu Yiqing put the account book aside, held Roufu in his arms, looked at it carefully, and barely recognized it was the moon. He couldn't help but smile and said: "Roufu is awesome, the painting is so good!"
Of the three children of Chu Yiqing, A Bao has been a kid since he was a child and is extremely smart. Although Bing Fu is naughty, he hides it deeply. Only Rou Fu has the most mediocre qualifications, which are different from those of other children. Nowadays,
He was almost three years old, and he could only memorize the "Three Character Classic", "Hundred Family Surnames" and so on. But the more this happened, the more Chu Yiqing felt sorry for this daughter. He kept it with him, even when he went out of the palace to check on his daughter.
I always carry it with me.
However, Roufu has inherited one of Chu Yiqing's advantages, that is, he likes the land. Every time Chu Yiqing goes to the fields, he always likes to follow him. He listens to Chu Yiqing's lectures on farming, and he is more serious than Confucius's class.
.
Chu Yiqing was playing with Roufu, and Fang and Yingrun also entered the side hall.
"Madam, would you like to call your servant?" Mrs. Fang saluted respectfully.
"Qiankun Palace has been busy these days. I know this is the emperor's wish. You can't resist it, but I like peace and quiet and don't like extravagance. That's about it! I will naturally block it for you when the emperor is there!" Chu Yiqing
said.
Mrs. Fang quickly responded, "I know Madam's wishes. The regulations sent by the Ministry of Internal Affairs have reduced most of the difficulties. As long as they are practical, they are almost ready!"
Chu Yiqing nodded with satisfaction, "I can rest assured that you can do things, but I have something else here that I want to talk to you about!"
Chu Yiqing asked Yingrun to take Roufu down.
Roufu blessed her little body and stepped back respectfully.
&nb
sp; Fang looked at Chu Yiqing in confusion.
"Do you remember Yu Shan? Last year's top scorer in the new subject!" Chu Yiqing asked.
After a pause, Fang remembered for a long time that a palace banquet was held during the Chinese New Year a few days ago. An adult accidentally broke into the inner palace and she bumped into him. She kindly reminded her that she still remembered that the man was called Yu Shan!
"My slave has some impression!" Fang said quickly.
"Yu Shan has already asked the emperor for a marriage. Guess which girl he is asking for?" Chu Yiqing smiled softly.
Madam Fang immediately shook her head, "There are so many noble daughters in this court, how can I guess that?"
Chu Yiqing smiled and said: "It's you I'm begging for!"
Fang was stunned and looked up at Chu Yiqing, "How... is this possible? My slave..."
"When I promised you that you could marry freely, I certainly kept my word. But these years, you have been saying you won't marry, and I don't 'force' you. It's just that Yu Shan is a really good character. Three years after his wife passed away, he
I have never been attracted to any woman, but now I have fallen in love with you, which means that the two of you are destined! Yuhua, you have been with me for so many years, and I don’t want you to die alone!" Chu Yiqing whispered.
Mrs. Fang quickly shook her head and said: "Madam, I have said that I will never marry or leave the palace in this life, but will stay with my wife!"
Chu Yiqing smiled and said: "If you are married, you can also serve me in the palace, just like Yingqian and Yingrun!"
But Fang firmly refused. Seeing her like this, Chu Yiqing sighed and said that he would tell the emperor about this matter.
Mrs. Fang quickly thanked her. After coming out of the side hall, her heart kept beating.
She was not still thinking about Chu Shaozheng, but she had no confidence in men. Instead of letting men hurt her, she would rather stay in this palace and serve the Queen for the rest of her life!
Young Master Chu had been waiting in the inn for a long time, but when Fang didn't come, he couldn't help but clenched his fists. The woman who was obedient to him and regarded her husband as God had now changed her character and actually believed in him.
Turn a blind eye!
Chu Shao was walking out of the inn when suddenly there was a noise in front of him, and he saw some people running past him and running forward.
"Little brother, what happened?" Chu Shaozheng stopped a man and asked.
"It's Princess Chu who is sending food. She will be sending food at this time every day. Come and take a look!" the man said, immediately pushing forward.
Chu Shaozheng raised his eyes and was shocked to realize that he had arrived in front of Prince Chu's Mansion unknowingly. He quickly stepped aside and saw a young woman with an oval face in front of Prince Chu's Mansion, wearing navy blue piping.
She wears a large sleeved coat embroidered with chrysanthemums in crimson, and a six-piece navy blue Hunan skirt. A green lambskin trim is exposed on the skirt. She is personally distributing food to the people. Beside her
, stood a man wearing a three-color robe with piping and a cloud pattern at the bottom. He wore a rhinoceros leather belt around his waist and a white jade buckle around his waist. He had sword-shaped eyebrows and starry eyes, and was shaped like a beetle.
With wide shoulders, narrow waist, and tall stature, he is the current King of Chu, Chu Huan.
Chu Huan was holding a little girl who was over two years old in his hand. He was whispering something to the woman, seeming to remind her to take a rest, but the woman shook her head.
Chu Shaozheng stopped a person who was getting food and was about to leave and asked: "Is that young woman the Princess of Chu?"
The man immediately looked back and replied, "That's right. Princess Chu is very kind-hearted. She deserves to be from a well-known family. She is a lady. She is a perfect match for Prince Chu!"
Chu Shaozheng clasped his hands and turned back with a cold face.
After Chu Huan reminded Yang Mo'er in a low voice not to be too tired, he raised his eyes and looked at the crowd. Suddenly, he was stunned and seemed to see a familiar figure, and he frowned.
"What's wrong?" Sensing something strange about Chu Huan, Yang Mo'er handed the grain scoop in his hand to a woman and stepped forward to ask.
Chu Huan shook his head and whispered: "Maybe I was blinded, it's okay!"
Seeing that he didn't say anything, Yang Mo'er stopped asking further questions. She just held her daughter in her arms and said, "Dad is not in good spirits these days. I'm afraid he misses the Queen. Yesterday, he asked me to prepare rose cake, saying that the Queen likes it."
food!"
Chu Huan lowered his head and groaned for a moment, then whispered: "Don't worry about this matter, leave it to me!"
Yang Mo'er just nodded.
In the Prince of Chu's Mansion, Chu Zhantian's health has become worse and worse in the past two years. Perhaps because he is getting older, he misses his former friends more and more. Not long ago, Mr. Yao, who had been locked up, fell ill and died in his room.
Chu Zhantian felt more and more that life was constant.
Over the years, as a queen, Chu Yiqing, although she would always have people send things out during the New Year and holidays, she never came back to see him. He also knew what he had done before and had no reason to ask for too much, but in his heart...
Huan came in and saw that Chu Zhantian was in a daze again. He couldn't help but feel nervous. He had to step forward and said, "Dad, are you thinking about your sister again?"
Chu Zhantian smiled bitterly and asked, "I heard that the Luo Kingdom sent an envoy to congratulate the Queen on her birthday?"
As soon as he mentioned national affairs, the look on Chu Huan's face became a little more serious, and he whispered: "We have arrived in the capital, and now we are living in the post house waiting for the emperor's summons!"
"In the past two years, after the opening of sea rights, money from the Luo Kingdom has continued to flow into our country, and people have continued to flock here. In addition, the civil strife of Prince Yuan in the imperial court has just been settled, and the Luo Emperor is now in urgent need of expansion and change.
The situation, before he pressed troops on the border, it was obvious that he wanted to start a war, and now why did he suddenly send an envoy to come to congratulate him?" Chu Zhantian said in a deep voice, looking puzzled.
"The child doesn't know either, so the emperor issued an order early in the morning to pay close attention to all the movements of Luo's envoys!" Chu Huan said quickly.
"In that case, go ahead and get busy!" Chu Zhantian said lightly, "I don't need you to worry about me here!"
Chu Huan nodded, glanced at Chu Zhantian worriedly, and walked out of the room.
At this moment, on the official road a hundred miles away from the capital, there were more than a dozen guards guarding the front and back. There were two carriages in the middle. The cries of children could be heard constantly from one carriage.
"Che'er must be causing trouble again!" A young woman's head stuck out from the carriage behind her. She was sixteen or seventeen years old, with picturesque features and no hair in a bun. She was really Hua Lin.
The carriage in front stopped, and Hua Lin quickly asked the carriage driver to stop. He ran to the front, opened the curtain, and saw Xu Yunxi awkwardly coaxing his five-month-old son who was crying in his arms.
"Come on, Che'er, aunt is here!" Hua Lin climbed onto the carriage, took Hua Che from Xu Yunxi's hand, and gave him a rattle from his waist. Hua Che then wiped his face and raised his head.
Her pink little face smiled.
"You still have a way!" Xu Yunxi said gratefully.
"If the eldest brother hadn't been in a hurry to return to the capital to report on his duties, the eldest sister-in-law wouldn't have been in such a difficult situation! Che'er is used to sticking to you, and the nanny won't follow you either! This kind of temperament is nothing like that of the second prince.
Same, I still remember that at that time, Aunt Chu suffered a lot for the second prince!" Hua Lin said with a smile.
"How can Che'er compare with the second prince? The second prince is the pride of heaven!" Xu Yunxi said quickly. Even so, she felt very comfortable and didn't feel that Hua Che was clingy!
Hua Che has the same temperament as the second prince, and he will definitely be a wealthy person in the future!
When Hua Lin saw that Xu Yunxi's expression softened slightly, he smiled and coaxed Hua Che softly, and Hua Che fell asleep after a while.
Xu Yunxi quickly took Hua Che, put it on the couch, and whispered: "I finally fell asleep. I have been tossing and tossing in the inn since last night for three or four hours. I am really afraid that he will toss like this.
You'll get sick if you go down there!"
"Maybe it's because I'm not acclimatized and I'm not feeling well. We'll go to the town ahead soon and we'll find a doctor to take a look at it!" Hua Lin said.
Xu Yunxi nodded, suddenly remembered something, and asked: "Lin'er, when you came back this time, did you talk to Prince Anding?"
Hua Lin frowned: "Why should you tell him?"
Xu Yunxi whispered: "It's not like you don't know that Crown Prince An Ding is interested in you!"
Hua Lin was silent.
When she went to the border this time, the most unexpected thing was that she became friends with Hu Zhi, the prince of Anding, but Hu Zhi would soon marry the betrothed woman!
"It's fate, I'm afraid Prince An Dinghou didn't expect that you two would become friends!" Xu Yunxi whispered, slowly patting Hua Che's little body.
Hua Lin raised his eyes and smiled: "Sister-in-law, this is retribution, I deserve to end up like this!"
Xu Yunxi was stunned for a moment. He wanted to give some advice, but he saw Hua Che turning over again, his little face wrinkled impatiently, and the two of them did not dare to speak. The only sound in their ears was the gurgling sound of the carriage wheels.
After arriving at the town ahead, Hua Lin was afraid that the doctors outside would not be safe, so he went to the Yamen, took out his token, and asked someone to report it.
After a while, the prefect came, accompanied by a woman with an oval face, a meek and delicate appearance, wearing a short jacket with green piping and smoky green embroidered orchids, a smoke-colored cloud-shouldered vest, and a light green lower part.
The "color" cotton skirt has a slight bulge in the lower abdomen, which is the bell.
Hua Lin didn't expect to meet Ling Dang here. Looking at the prefect again, although he hadn't seen him for two years, the man was much calmer, but he could still vaguely recognize him as Yu Linzhi, the second son of the Yu family.
"It's really Miss Hua. My husband sent someone to invite me. I thought..." Lingdang was surprised and happy when she saw Hua Lin. She stepped forward to greet Hua Lin.
bsp; Hua Lin did not expect that the first person she saw when she came back from the Border Guard for two years would be Ling Dang. She was stunned at the time, and it took her a long time to react and step forward to hold her hand.
Lingdang was stunned. In her memory, Hua Lin had never been so affectionate to her, so she felt a little uncomfortable with it.
"Lingdang, are you pregnant? How many months have you been pregnant? Why are you not in the capital and here in Yucheng?" Hua Lin asked in a low voice, with surprise on his face.
Lingdang smiled and said: "Last year, my husband won the first prize. The emperor wanted to let him have some experience, so he was sent to Yucheng. He will go back after two years of experience! Last year, my husband and I got married, so we came here together. Now we have
Four months pregnant!”
Hua Lin sighed, then remembered Hua Che's illness, and said anxiously: "I came today because Hua Che, the eldest brother's son, doesn't know what happened. He has been crying since last night, aren't you?
Do you know medical skills? That’s fine, I don’t need to bother others, just show me!”
When Lingdang heard that he was Hua Qi's son, he naturally did not dare to neglect him. He quickly went to the wing where he was staying and took his pulse. He said that his spleen and stomach were not in harmony, but now that the child was young, it was difficult for him to take medicine, so he fed him some cow's milk.
The juice was boiled with ginger and scallions added. After eating a few spoonfuls, the little guy fell into a deep sleep.
Seeing that it really worked, Hua Lin was grateful to the bell. He also remembered his previous attitude towards the bell, and immediately felt a little guilty, so he pulled her out, sat in the yard, and said some thoughtful words.
Lingdang didn't expect that Hua Lin would change so much, and she was surprised and happy. The years of sisterly love seemed to have all come out this time. The two of them became more and more in tune with each other as they talked. It's a pity that Lingdang is pregnant and it's not easy to "fuck".
Lao, after talking for a while, she felt sleepy, so Hua Lin sent her back to her room to sleep. They agreed to stay in Yucheng for a few days, and when Hua Che was fully recovered, she would also stay with Ling Dang for a few days.
Hua Lin returned to the room. Che'er was still asleep. Xu Yunxi, who had stayed up all night and day, also leaned on the soft couch and squinted for a while. Hua Lin sat aside, thinking of everything he had done with the bell before, and then looked at the current situation.
I couldn't help but feel sad in my heart.
Lingdang was also excited. After returning, she was not in a hurry to rest. Instead, she wrote a letter to Shanhua in Lucheng, telling her what happened today and asking about herself.
Although Lingdang was pregnant and returned to Lucheng, she was old after all. She suffered a lot during the birth, and her health has been poor since then. Before Lingdang was pregnant, she had been sick in two or three months.
I went back to see her doctor and prescribe some "medicine". Now she is five or six months pregnant and has become very heavy, so she has never gone back.
However, Ling Dang is relieved that Dan Er is taking care of her.
After writing the letter, Lingdang fell asleep and it was already evening. He remembered Hua Che's illness and went to take a look again.
Hua Che has been sleeping since he drank milk, and did not wake up until the evening. After waking up, his energy was obviously much better, and he no longer cried. He was playing with an apple in his arms, and Bell came in.
.
Although Xu Yunxi knew about the existence of Lingdang, he was not close to Lingdang because of Hua Qi and Hua Lin. Now that his son was cured by Lingdang, he was naturally grateful for receiving such a big favor, so he quickly stood up and said with a smile:
"I'm afraid you'll be running back and forth. I just thought about asking my mother-in-law to tell you that when Che'er is well, I won't bother you walking back and forth. Now you're heavy!"
Lingdang was about to give Xu Yunxi a gift, but Xu Yunxi quickly grabbed her and said, "Look, although we didn't get along much before, we are still a family after all. Why are you so polite?"
Lingdang also smiled and said: "This is what I want to say. If Mrs. Hua allows me, I will call Mrs. Hua my sister-in-law!"
Xu Yunxi hurriedly said: "Of course you call me sister-in-law, Mrs. Hua, it's really strange!"
Lingdang nodded lightly and stepped forward to check Cheer's pulse.
Xu Yunxi was afraid that Cheer would be naughty and startle Lingdang's fetus, so she held him in her arms and watched his hands and feet carefully.
After checking his pulse, Lingdang smiled and said, "I'm almost healed now. I'll drink some milk in the evening, add fresh ginger and scallions, and I'll be fine tomorrow! It's just that the child is still young, and the road is bumpy, so he gets angry easily.
, Sister-in-law, it is best to feed the child more water and eat more fruits. If the child is too small to feed, use a spoon to carry it so that it can be swallowed!"
Xu Yunxi wrote it down one by one, and then said: "The journey is a bit long, but I wanted to go back before the Queen's birthday. My husband was afraid that we would be anxious, so he went back first. We walked slowly behind, but the child was still born.
Xu Yunxi nodded and said: "There is still half a month left. The Queen must be afraid of embarrassing the officials below, so she didn't say anything!"
Lingdang smiled and said: "That's how Aunt Chu is. She likes peace and quiet. She has never celebrated a birthday before! It's a pity that I am like this now and can't go to the capital, otherwise..."
"look
You, just pretend that I didn't say anything and you just pretend not to know!" Xu Yunxi said quickly.
How could Ling Ding pretend not to know? After thinking about it for a long time after going back, she realized that Chu Yiqing's place lacked everything. The gold, silver and jewelry were more tacky. She wanted to make a dress for Chu Yiqing herself, but now she was pregnant and couldn't get needlework.
, remembering that Yucheng had a special product called flowers and fruits, he asked someone to prepare a box and prepare to send it to the capital.
On the second day, Hua Che had completely recovered and was laughing and making trouble. Hua Lin also came to say thank you.
Ling Ding was letting people wrap gifts. When he heard Hua Lin was coming, he quickly got up and went out to greet him.
"I'm here to thank you today. Che'er is well now!" Hua Lin smiled, looked at the box on the table, and asked, "What is this for? Who is it for?"
Lingdang said: "I just found out that it was Aunt Chu's birthday, so I asked someone to prepare special flowers and fruits for Auntie to try. I was planning to send them to you!"
Hua Lin was silent for a moment and said: "Lingdang, you have never been in the palace, and you don't know the things in the palace. It's best not to give food when you give things. It's not that I can't trust you, but if someone pretends to give you something,
, Aunt Chu will definitely not be on guard against you, wouldn’t that indirectly harm Aunt Chu?”
Lingdang was startled, she really didn't think so much.
"Don't be afraid, this is the lesson I learned after going through so much!" Hua Lin couldn't help but feel ashamed when he thought of Zhilai back then, "I will convey your thoughts on your behalf. No need to worry about things.
There is nothing missing from Aunt Chu!”
Lingdang quickly thanked her and said: "Aunt Chu has a lot of things like mine, but I can't express my gratitude. Why don't I ask Miss Hua to take the trouble to help me choose something else?"
Hua Lin smiled and said: "We are sisters, why are you so polite? Just call me sister!"
Lingdang was stunned and looked at Hua Lin in confusion, "Aren't you unwilling to recognize me as your sister?"
Hua Lin smiled bitterly and said: "I was afraid that you wouldn't recognize me as your sister. I looked down on Aunt Hua and you before, but who knew that the most evil person was actually me. If you had other choices, you wouldn't want your surname to be Hua, right?"
"
Lingdang didn't expect Hua Lin to say these words, so she couldn't help but whispered: "Sister, you have changed a lot!"
Hua Lin smiled faintly, "After experiencing some things, things will naturally change. Lingdang, your choice now is the right one. You are very happy!"
Lingdang touched her slightly bulging belly and said with a satisfied smile: "I also like my current life very much. My husband is very good to me and loves me very much!"
Hua Lin nodded, stepped forward and held Ling Dang's hand.
The next day, Hua Lin accompanied Ling Dang on the street to pick out a birthday gift for Chu Yiqing. In the end, the two of them picked a white jade Guanyin in a jade shop, and had people wrap it carefully. It was considered a birthday gift, so Hua Lin
Bring it to you personally.
After staying in Yucheng for two days, when Hua Che's health was completely recovered, Xu Yunxi and Hua Lin set off on the road again. Fortunately, Yucheng was not far from the capital, and Xu Yunxi no longer dared to rush on the road again, resting and stopping along the way.
Yes, we walked for another two days before we arrived at the capital.
As soon as they arrived in the capital, before they returned home, someone from Qiankun Palace came to invite them, and Xu Yunxi took her children and Hua Lin into the palace together.
After not seeing each other for two years, Chu Yiqing missed them very much. Now that he heard that Xu Yunxi finally got his wish and had a child, he felt even more happy.
"Yingqian, bring the collar!" Chu Yiqing ordered.
Yingqian quickly took it.
Chu Yiqing took out the necklace, which was made of gold and jade. Chu Yiqing personally put it on Hua Che.
Xu Yunxi quickly said: "Queen, how could this happen? This..."
"This is a reward from this palace. Do you want to resist?" Chu Yiqing said with a smile, "I have been thinking about you for more than two years. Before, Qi'er had someone send a letter back saying that you had given birth to a baby.
Big fat boy, I’m so happy that I had someone order this, and Cheer’s name is engraved on it!”
Xu Yunxi stopped saying goodbye and quickly thanked him.
Chu Yiqing looked at Hua Lin again. They hadn't seen each other for two years. Hua Lin had become much thinner and darker, but he was more stable. He kept smiling and "groaning" while listening to the two people talking.
Chu Yiqing motioned Hua Lin to step forward, and Hua Lin stepped forward and held Chu Yiqing's hand tightly.
"Just come back!" Chu Yiqing smiled.
Hua Lin nodded, unable to hold on any longer, hiding in Chu Yiqing's arms and crying.
Chu Yiqing smiled and patted her shoulder, "This is my Lin'er!"
Hua Lin burst into tears and laughed. He talked about what he had seen and heard outside in the past two years, and also talked about meeting Ling Dang in Yucheng.
Submit it to Chu Yiqing.
While stroking the white jade Guanyin, Chu Yiqing couldn't help but sigh: "The little girl before is now pregnant. Time flies so fast. You have grown up, and Aunt Chu is also old!"
Hua Lin shook his head, "It's hard to tell how old Aunt Chu is. She's still as beautiful as when I first saw Aunt Chu!"
"You kid, you have such a sweet mouth!" Chu Yiqing smiled and patted Hua Lin's hand gently.
Xu Yunxi and Hualin had just come back, and they had not been asked to enter the house. In addition, they had children with them, so Chu Yiqing did not hesitate to keep them. He sent someone to send them back and rewarded them with many things.
In the past two years, Dai Huang had been on the border. Due to the tacit cooperation between Hu Zhi and Hua Qi, Emperor Dai had never found a suitable excuse or opportunity to send troops. Therefore, Hua Qi had made a great contribution. When he came back this time, he was naturally promoted to one level.
Hua Lin, the unmarried sister, also became the object of pursuit by the nobles in the capital. As soon as she returned home, wives and their sons kept coming to visit. It was said to be a visit, but in fact it was just to see each other. The Hua Mansion then
Get lively.
At this moment, on the outskirts of the capital, a green carriage was slowly approaching the capital. Concubine Qing, who was sitting in the carriage, couldn't help but lift the curtain and urged Li Yue who was driving the carriage, "It's going to be dark today.
Why do we have to go to the city at night?"
Li Yue pouted angrily and whispered: "What's the rush? They're all back anyway!"
Concubine Qing couldn't help but sigh. She knew that Li Yue disapproved of her coming back, but after being away for eight years, she really missed her grandchildren. A Bao was now sixteen, Blessing was eight years old, and
The granddaughter she has never met before... Thinking of the family reunion, Concubine Qing had a sincere smile on her face.
Li Yue naturally didn't want Concubine Qing to come back. After eight years, he still didn't ask Concubine Qing to marry him. If Concubine Qing were to see the old emperor again... When Li Yue thought about the consequences, he became dejected and shook his whip.
I don't have the strength either.
The carriage was getting slower and slower. Concubine Qing poked her head out again. Seeing Li Yue's lack of energy, she couldn't help but find it funny. In fact, they were both so old and their grandchildren were in groups. She thought some of the words were unnecessary.
Li Yue would understand, but now it seems...
"I just miss the children. Look at the children, I will travel with you all over the world!" Concubine Qing said in a low voice.
Li Yue was startled, then immediately became energetic, cracking the whip, and walked all the way towards the capital.
In a mountain valley less than ten miles away from the capital city gate, a cold wind suddenly blew through. Li Yue raised his eyes to look at the lush hillsides and woods, and stopped the carriage.
"What's wrong?" Concubine Qing stuck her head out and asked.
"Stay inside, and don't come out, I'm afraid something is wrong!" Li Yue whispered, and pulled out the soft sword from his waist.
Just as Concubine Qing was about to speak, she heard the faint sounds of horse hooves and people not far away. Before she could react, she saw dozens of people pouring down from the hillsides on both sides like a tide.
The rider quickly stopped in front of the carriage.
Li Yue looked at them calmly and looked at them. Judging from their dress, they were probably bandits. However, compared with ordinary bandits, they seemed to be a little different. They were all strong men and the formation was also different.
It seems as if they have been trained, especially the eyes and aura of these people...
Deja vu!
"Who are you?" Li Yue asked in a deep voice.
The leading man did not answer. As soon as he raised his hand, dozens of men dismounted and rushed over. Li Yue had no choice but to fight.
Concubine Qing was sitting in the carriage and heard the constant shouting of killing outside. Her face turned pale. Just as she was about to open the curtains to take a look, a pair of cold swords suddenly penetrated through the curtains. She quickly dodged to avoid them.
Li Yue kicked one person away and looked back to see five or six men surrounding the carriage. He quickly turned around to protect Concubine Qing, but the horse was slashed on the buttocks by a man and fled forward crazily.
Qing Fei was in the carriage and was startled by the horse that suddenly galloped. She wanted to get up, but was jolted so hard that she couldn't sit still...
"Help, help!" Concubine Qing couldn't help shouting, "Li Yue! Li Yue!"
Li Yue looked back and wanted to catch up, but was surrounded by more than a dozen men and couldn't get away.
Not far ahead, there was a caravan of about a hundred people. The car was pulling a large amount of goods. The leader was an outrageously beautiful young man. The sun seemed to shine on the young man's clear and smooth forehead, reflecting the facial features.
Clear, the lines are unusually smooth and slender, the skin color is delicate and transparent, with an impeccable beauty.
The young man was sitting on a horse and walking slowly when he heard the cry for help from behind. He turned around and saw a carriage rushing over like crazy. Behind the carriage, there were more than a dozen bandits.
The man with that appearance was chasing after him desperately with a sword in hand.
"Uncle Cai, help!" The young man was Yan Wan, who was disguised as a man. She quickly turned the horse's head and was about to rush forward.
Cai Li grabbed Yan Guan's reins and said, "Sir, this place is so close to the capital. What's more, we just passed by there, so why didn't we meet any bandits? This is unusual. Let's not get into trouble to avoid delays.
Big deal!"
Yan Wan also hesitated slightly. This time she came to the capital, obviously to escort Tian Shui Bi, but actually she had other important matters. If her identity was exposed, then...
"Help, help!" Fei Qing felt that her body was about to fall apart. She climbed out of the carriage desperately, saw Yan Wan's caravan from a distance, and shouted loudly.
At this moment, the horse shaft finally couldn't withstand the bumps along the way and slowly began to fall off. First one side, the carriage suddenly tilted to one side, and the other side also fell off at any time.
If all the horse shafts fall off, Qing Fei will rush out from the front of the carriage. She will definitely die at such a fast speed!
"Uncle Cai, we can't just die without saving him!" Yan Guan said loudly and rode forward. At this moment, the last horse shaft fell off and the whole carriage tilted forward. Qing Fei stepped out of the carriage.
She rolled out and was about to fall to the ground. She suddenly realized what she was doing and grabbed the pillars of the car with both hands.
Yan Wan stepped forward, quickly stretched out his hand, and shouted to Concubine Qing: "Hold my hand, quickly!"
Concubine Qing's face turned pale. Intuitively, she stretched out her hand, held Yan Wan tightly, and quickly left the carriage.
Not far away, a team of hundreds of people was coming from the direction of the capital. The leader in front was the current crown prince Li Yi. He was wearing a purple robe with embroidered gold piping on the hem, a white jade belt around his waist, and a black gauze on his head.
Yi Shanguan, handsome and majestic, flanked by Lei Yuan, a black-clad guard.
"Your Highness, the sound of fighting is just ahead!" Lei Yuan dismounted first, put his ear to the ground, listened, pointed to the front and said.
Li Yi's eyes darkened and he whispered: "Hurry!" After saying that, the man had already rushed out.
Lei Yuan got on his horse and led the guards to follow quickly.
Not far away at this moment, Yan Guan pulled Qingfei on the horse, but he happened to come face-to-face with the "bandits" who were chasing behind him. Soon enough, one of them swung his sword.
He stabbed at Yan Wan who was sitting in front. Due to the force of inertia, Yan Wan could not avoid it and rushed straight towards the tip of the sword.
"Miss!" Cai Li shouted and tried to rush forward, but it was already too late.
At this moment, a crimson figure flashed past, and at the same time, a sharp sword light fell from the sky, like a dragon's roar, and suddenly cut off the man's sword.
"Dragon Soaring Sword!" Concubine Qing exclaimed, and then she saw clearly that the boy who fell from the sky had a slender figure, delicate features, and the cuteness and cleverness of his childhood between his eyebrows. He was the emperor's grandson Abao whom she missed day and night!
"Abao!" Concubine Qing couldn't help shouting, her expression became excited.
Abao also looked back and saw Concubine Qing. He quickly stepped forward and took Concubine Qing off the horse.
Concubine Qing hugged the tall Ah Bao tightly and said in surprise: "We haven't seen each other for a few years. Ah Bao has grown up and can hold breasts and breasts!"
Seeing that Concubine Qing was safe, Abao whispered: "Milk, milk, milk, long time no see!"
Concubine Qing held A Bao in her arms.
The moment she saw A Bao, Yan Wan was also stunned. She reined in the horse and stood there without reacting for a long time.
"Miss, are you okay?" Cai Li hurried forward and breathed a long sigh of relief when he saw that Yan Wan was okay.
Yan Wan seemed not to hear anything and just stared at Ah Bao in a daze.
Abao held Concubine Qing in his arms and took out the token from the men dressed as bandits. He said in a deep voice: "People of Long Yutang, listen, now I am taking back my life on behalf of the Holy Ancestor Queen Mother. You don't want to do this."
No matter what, if you don’t want to, then there is only a dead end!”
When the men saw the token, they looked at each other and quickly knelt down and said, "Yes!"
After those people got up, they dispersed.
Concubine Qing looked at Abao in confusion: "What...what is going on?"
Abao whispered: "The emperor's milk, milk, you will understand when you look at this!"
Abao took out a yellow handwriting, which was the last instruction of the Holy Ancestor Queen Mother. In it, the Holy Ancestor Queen Mother said that after becoming aware of the existence of Concubine Qing, she secretly dispatched the Ouchi guards and established a Dragon Yutang. If Qingqing
Concubine Qing will never be able to conquer the country in her life, so the personnel of Long Yutang will never be used. If Concubine Qing comes back...
Concubine Qing sighed quietly.
She has been in the palace for decades, so she naturally knows the purpose of the Holy Ancestor Queen Mother. Women who have always entered the palace can only leave the palace unless they are dead.
"Abao, I'm really in trouble for you!" Concubine Qing whispered, "Fortunately, I had someone deliver the letter to you in advance, otherwise..."
Abao said in a low voice: "Emperor Nai Nai, everything has passed now, but it is still not advisable to stay here for a long time. Who knows if the old Huang Nai Nai has a second team? Let's hurry into the city."
So good!”
Qing Fei nodded.
After placing Concubine Qing on the horse, Abao glanced at the man who was looking at him longingly not far away, and was suddenly startled.
Yan Wan sat astride the horse and smiled at him.
After not seeing each other for more than two years, he has grown a lot taller. His long body stands out in the sun, and he is extraordinary handsome. In addition, as the future leader of a country, his many years of experience have added a touch of nobility to him, which is even more impressive.
Unforgettable. The sun shone on him, creating a faint halo of light around him, adding a gentle color to the deep smile on his face.
Yan Wan's heart beat suddenly.
"This man..." Abao's heart tightened, and he strode forward to the "man". He looked at Yan Wan carefully, curled his lips in surprise, and said with a smile, "Yan Wan, really
Is it you? Are you back?"
Yan Wan nodded, "I'm back, are you okay?"
The smile on Abao's face kept growing, "I'm fine, Yan Wan, are you okay?"
He called her by her given name, very cordially and openly, as if he was a friend he had known for a long time!
Yan Wan smiled and nodded.
Abao asked Yan Wan's caravan to enter the capital with them.
Sitting on the horse, Concubine Qing looked at Yan Wan behind her and asked Abao beside her in a low voice: "My dear grandson, tell the emperor, do you know that girl?"
When Yan Wan was stabbed just now, Cai Li exclaimed "Miss", so Concubine Qing had already pretended that Yan Wan was disguised as a man.
Abao nodded and said: "It's a friend!"
Concubine Qing took another look, nodded and said, "That lady is my savior, you must thank her properly!"
Abao smiled and nodded, "Yes, the emperor's milk!"
Concubine Qing looked at Ah Bao with satisfaction and asked, "Are you married? Do you have any children?"
Abao couldn't help but blush, "Your Majesty's Grandma, I'm not married yet. The old Emperor's Grandma has passed away, and I have to observe filial piety for three years!"
Concubine Qing nodded suddenly, "That's it! I'm in a foreign country and don't know the situation in this country. I just heard people say it, so I don't know whether it's true or not!"
Abao smiled and said, "It would be great if the emperor's milk comes back. Over the years, grandpa Huang has been thinking about the emperor's milk very much!"
Qing Feinai smiled, but there was no need for the younger generation to get involved in the grudges of the older generation. Besides, it was not a glorious thing, so she remained silent.
At this moment, behind the guards was Yan Wan's motorcade. Cai Li looked at the prince and concubine Qing who were joking in front, and couldn't help turning his face and whispered to Yan Wan, who was running alongside him: "Miss, it seems that Prince Li is still thinking about you.
, this is a good opportunity. As long as the young lady makes this decision, not only will the prince and the prince be safe, but they will also prosper, and the emperor will also..."
Yan Wan turned his eyes coldly and said with a stern voice: "Uncle Cai, I have already decided. You don't need to say anything. I have already made arrangements for my father and Jiu'er. You can just follow my arrangements."
!”
"But Miss, what you do is treason and you will become a sinner for eternity!" Cai Li said in a deep voice, looking worried.
"Treason? What is the use of such an emperor? He is arrogant and self-willed. When has the world ever been in his eyes? The people? He only values the reputation of his generation of wise emperors. How has he ever cared about the lives of the people? If not
If he insists on going his own way, Prince Yuan will not rebel and make the people of the world miserable!" Yan Guan said in a deep voice, his face full of anger.
Cai Li sighed faintly, "But that person is the emperor after all. Even if he makes a lot of mistakes, he is still the emperor. Miss, you should think twice!"
Yan Guan said solemnly: "He is an emperor, but he is not a good emperor. Do you know that it is his fault, but you still want to help others do evil?"
Yan Wan didn't want to continue arguing with Cai Li, so he went straight forward.
Cai Li's face was full of disgust.
Could it be that Prince Rong’s clan is also going to become a rebellious clan that deceives its master?
As they were about to arrive at the capital city gate, Li Yi drove his horse to wait for Yan Wan by the roadside.
"Thank you for saving
She asked me to thank you properly for giving you my "milk" and "milk"!" Abao smiled at Yan Wan who slowly came forward, "What do you want?"
Yan Wan smiled faintly: "Okay, come to the Buddha's Laughter Hall tomorrow and I'll tell you what I want!"
Abao paused and nodded.
After entering the city, the two teams separated. Abao and his guards escorted Concubine Qing to the former Prince Huang's Mansion. Today's Prince Huang's Mansion has been changed to Prince Fu's Mansion, and was named the blessing residence of Prince Fu. Yan Wan then
He took people to the Buddhist Laughter Hall and secretly arranged relevant matters.
After Abao settled down Concubine Qing, he quickly returned to the palace to resume her duties.
In the royal study, Li Huang was a little restless. He had been like this all afternoon. He was irritable when Abao came in, his face full of joy, "Father, I brought the emperor's milk back.
Just settle down in the blessed palace!"
When Li Huang heard this, he immediately asked: "Did it go well?"
Abao nodded, "It's just one step away, but the emperor has his own destiny, and there are noble people to help him, so everything will be fine!"
Li Huang breathed a sigh of relief and whispered: "I didn't expect that the Queen Mother of the Holy Ancestor had such an arrangement before her death. If you hadn't accidentally discovered the edict, my mother-in-law would have..."
"Father, the matter is over!" Abao advised in a low voice, for fear that Li Huang would be sad about this matter again.
"Come on, let's go meet your emperor's grandma together!" Li Huang stood up and said.
Abao nodded.
In the Qiankun Palace, Chu Yiqing heard that Concubine Qing was back, so he quickly had Roufu brought over and put on the clothes for going out.
"It's a pity that Blessing has gone to who knows where. If Blessing is here, we can be regarded as a family reunion!" Chu Yiqing couldn't help but say on the carriage heading to Prince Fu's Mansion.
A Bao only started training when he was ten years old, and he is blessed. Since the first month of this year's New Year, he said that he was going on an errand with the fifteenth, but he didn't show up for two or three months, and now he has gone to have a good time.
, Although Chu Yiqing was worried, he also knew that with blessing's slippery character, it would be good to go out and suffer some hardships, so fortunately he didn't care anymore.
Li Huang had not seen Concubine Qing for eight years, and he was very excited now. He held Chu Yiqing's hand and said, "Concubine Concubine finally came back. Bless her. I will naturally have a way to bring him back!"
Chu Yiqing nodded.
At this moment, in a remote mountain village, an earth-shattering event is happening. Liu Xiuhua, the daughter of Liu Laoshi in the small mountain village, has been robbed by the landlord of the village. Today, she will be forced to marry her into the bridal chamber.
There were festive red candles and bright red silk, but everyone watching the ceremony had sad faces, especially Liu Laoshi's family, who kept kneeling in front of the bully landlord and begging, but the bully landlord remained unmoved at all.
"Pull the bride out, hurry up, it's unlucky after the hour!" The bully shouted loudly, and after a while, two women with heavy makeup escorted the bride out. The bride was also tied with a bright red dress.
Sizi, I was afraid that I would run away during the worship service!
Just when the bully was about to force him to worship the bride, he heard a leisurely and childish voice cut through the noise and the crying and pleading of the bride's family, clearly reaching the ears of everyone present, "I obviously don't want to
Marry you, you insist on marrying me, don’t you know that strong-willed melons are not sweet?”
Everyone was stunned, and followed the shouting, and saw a child sitting leisurely on the beam, constantly shaking a pair of little feet, wearing a silver flying dragon mask on his face.
"Is it the silver-faced little flying dragon?" someone exclaimed.
The Silver-Faced Little Flying Dragon is a character who has appeared in the world in recent months. Judging from his stature, he should be a child, but he is very powerful in martial arts. He can pick off rapes and help the weak, and he has become a generation of heroes.
"Good eyesight! Give me one!" said the child, and threw a silver ingot from the beam, landing in the man's arms.
"I want it too, I want it too, I know you too!" So, people soon began to boo, and they all raised their hands.
"Really? Then what do you all know? Can you tell me?" The little jade-faced flying dragon seemed to be enjoying himself, tilting his head downwards and pretending to be listening attentively.
"People say that the little flying dragon is a heroic hero of a generation!"
"Well said, reward!" A silver ingot was thrown down.
"The little flying dragon is so powerful in martial arts that one person can fight eighty!"
"Not bad, good, reward!"
"Little flying dragon..."
People were talking so much that they had long forgotten that they still had to worship. Even the bully racked his brains and was about to praise the little flying dragon. When he turned around, he suddenly found that the bride was missing!
"Where are the people? Where are the people?" The bully shouted loudly. Only then did he understand. He pointed at the beam and shouted: "Catch this kid, catch this kid!"
Immediately the servants came in, and others moved ladders, preparing to go up and catch the little flying dragon.
"Watch the silver, whoever picks it up belongs to whom!" Xiao Feilong shouted, and several silver ingots fell from the beams. People stepped forward one after another, and they didn't mind hitting their heads with the silver at all. Even those
The servants didn't even bother to climb up.
Under the silver flying dragon mask, the child slowly raised the pink and thin corners of his lips, and quickly disappeared after performing Qing Kung Fu.
"Don't run! You idiots, why don't you chase me quickly?" the bully shouted loudly.
At this moment, a man who looked like a butler came out of the inner hall and said loudly: "No, no, sir, our warehouse has been broken into, and all the money in it is gone!"
The bully was stunned, suddenly realized, and shouted loudly: "This money is mine, no one is allowed to take it, you guys, stop it!"
The scene was in chaos!
Beside the official road five miles away from the small mountain village, Liu Laoshi's family knelt down and kowtowed to the children.
"Okay, okay, get up quickly. Take this silver. If you save money, it will last you a lifetime. Leave here!" The child said, putting a bag of silver in Liu Laoshi's arms.
Liu Laoshi was stunned and quickly kowtowed again.
The child curled his lips, smiled, and quickly disappeared into the wilderness after performing Qing Kung Fu.
Liu Laoshi's family froze there for a long time before they realized what they were doing and hurried on.
Not long after the child reached the fork in the road, he shouted loudly: "Okay, come out!"
Fifteen, along with the eighth and ninth graders, hurried forward.
The child took off the silver dragon mask above, and saw red lips and white teeth, a pair of eyes rolling around, and a shrewd look on his face, which was a blessing!
"Second Young Master, the emperor has issued an oral order asking the Second Young Master to return to the capital!" Fifteen said quickly, "This is already the sixth imperial edict. Second Young Master can't delay it any longer!"
Blessed eyes rolled gurglingly.
Fifteen knew that Blessing was thinking of another idea. Along the way, Blessing got through every time, but this time...
"Second Young Master, no matter what happens this time, you must go back with your subordinates, otherwise I will have to die to apologize!" Fifteen said, immediately pulling out his sword and placing it across his neck.
On the eighth and ninth day of the lunar month, they also followed the same example and took out their swords and put them on their necks.
"What are you doing?" Zhu Zhu shook his head and sighed, with a cute expression, "Just go back and don't have to 'force' me with death. Fifteenth Brother, Eighth Brother, Ninth Brother, hurry up!"
Fifteen had already learned about the many tricks of blessing, and said quickly: "Second Young Master, please don't come forward. If Second Young Master wants to touch our acupuncture points, we will die immediately..."
"Okay, okay, I'm convinced. Anyway, I've had enough fun. I want to kiss my mother, so I'll go back!" Blessing waved his hand and immediately got on the fifteen-year-old white horse, "Let's go, let's go back!"
On the 15th and 8th day of the lunar month, tears immediately filled my eyes. My little ancestor was finally willing to go back!
Who would have known that this time, the journey was only two days, but because of the heroic spirit of the silver-faced flying dragon, it was delayed for another half a month. After Blessing had several scars on his neck indicating suicide, Blessing finally returned to the capital.
When the blessing arrived in the capital, it happened to be the time when the Luo State envoy entered the city. He hid in the crowd, watched for a while, and then planned to enter the palace. He happened to run into Tenglong who was sent by Li Huang to look for him, so he escorted him.
Arrive at Prince Fu's Mansion.
There was a happy scene in Prince Fu's Mansion at the moment. Concubine Qing was holding Ah Bao with one hand and Rou Fu with the other. She couldn't help but burst into tears and couldn't say anything for a moment.
After Li Huang waited for her to stabilize emotionally, he asked her about her recent past, and then he found out that Concubine Qing had followed Li Yue all over the world.
"Before, Lu Ping was still waiting by my side, but later she fell in love with the sea, so she stayed on Haiying Island. Anyway, I have hands and feet, and I don't need anyone to wait on me. I am free!" Qing Qing
The concubine sighed, then took Li Huang's hand and looked at it carefully, "The emperor has not changed, but it is a pity that the concubine is old!"
Li Huang quickly said: "How can my mother-in-law be old? She is still the same as before!"
Concubine Qing shook her head and said, "Don't comfort me, it's time for me to get old, and it's time for A Bao to get married!"
Li Huang looked at Abao and nodded, "The period of filial piety has passed, it's time to establish a concubine!"
&nb
sp; Concubine Qing nodded, grabbed Chu Yiqing's hand again, and talked for a long time. When she heard that Mrs. Huangfu and her family had now settled in the capital, she was very excited. She quickly sent someone to pick her up, saying that they wanted to have a fun time together.
.
In the past two years, Mrs. Huangfu has completely adapted to the life in the capital, but Jin Yu is still not used to it. She follows Chu Yiqing to the fields every three days. Now she has taken over all the land on the outskirts of the city, and used the money in her hands to make more money.
I bought some wasteland and built a big house. That was Jinyu's private money, and I planned to use it as a dowry for Pan'er.
Ah Jin and Ah Yin were both selected as scholar candidates last year, and are now studying to prepare for the provincial examination. Pan'er spends most of his time in the palace with Roufu, so Jinyu and Zhao Maimai are relaxed and live a happy life.
At this time, the Huangfu family received the letter, immediately packed up, and rushed to Prince Fu's Mansion. Especially the old lady Huangfu, when they saw Concubine Qing, although they were awkward before, they were really close after not seeing each other for so many years.
The two held hands and had endless things to say.
Jin Yu met Chu Yiqing and asked about Blessing. Because Blessing was familiar with Pan'er, Blessing often went to Huangfu Mansion to hang out. Now that they haven't seen each other for three months, Jin Yu is really worried about him.
"I don't know where he ran away, and I don't know who this child's temperament is like. He is so wild!" Chu Yiqing was talking when he saw Blessing wearing a white brocade dress with green bamboo embroidered on it.
, a pair of bright eyes, like the brightest star in the night sky, and two rows of thick, black eyelashes, incredibly long, slightly tilted, incredibly charming, and
The most special thing is that there is a strange light shining in his eyes, which is passionate, warm, cunning and clever. As soon as he enters the door, he hugs Chu Yiqing tightly and says coquettishly, "Mother, I am not
Are you back? Do you miss me?"
Chu Yiqing quickly looked at the blessing carefully and said angrily: "Where have you been? Sometimes there is no news about you even on the fifteenth day. Do you know that your mother is very worried?"
Blessing just hugged Chu Yiqing and shook it gently. Listening to Chu Yiqing's scolding, he just smiled and didn't refute at all.
After Chu Yiqing finished his training, his anger finally subsided, and he said: "I have grown taller, but also become darker!"
I couldn't help but feel a little distressed as I spoke.
Li Huang came out of the inner room and when he saw the blessing, he couldn't help but snorted coldly.
Blessing pretended to be a gift to Li Huang, but suddenly made a sneak attack. Li Huang ducked and held Blessing in his arms with one arm.
"You kid, you still want to attack my father secretly?" Li Huang said with a smile.
Blessing burst into laughter, "I haven't seen you for a few months, but my father is still such a handsome man, with extraordinary aura!"
Li Huang let him go and whispered: "You are the sweetest, and it's useless to talk sweetly. We have to talk carefully about your refusal to resist the decree!"
"Dad, didn't you say that at home, there is only dad and no emperor?" Blessing twisted his body, like a snake, pestering Li Huang.
"So you are so bold!" Li Huang gently nodded his blessing nose.
Blessing laughed.
When Concubine Qing heard that Blessing was back, she hurried out and saw the coquettish expressions of Blessing and Li Huang. She was stunned and a smile immediately filled her face.
"Blessing, come here, I have seen your emperor's breasts!" Li Huang pulled Blessing forward.
Blessing looked Qing Fei up and down, a little surprised.
"Blessing, I am your "milk"!" Concubine Qing said, looking a little nervous, for fear that Blessing would give up and not call her.
Blessing smiled and said: "'Milk', 'Mirror', I haven't seen you for a long time, I can't even remember what you look like!"
This sentence made Concubine Qing laugh out loud, "You kid, you were still in your infancy when I left. Of course you don't remember what 'milks' look like!"
Blessing nodded, "Don't leave, Nanny. Stay here for a while, and Blessing will remember Nanny!"
Concubine Qing was very heart-warmed after hearing these words, and said to Chu Yiqing: "Yiqing, you have taught your children very well. I really didn't expect that in the royal family, there would be such a true-hearted person...
"
Chu Yiqing smiled faintly and nodded towards Concubine Qing.
This night, Chu Yiqing was rarely in the mood, so he cooked a few dishes himself, and the family sat together and had a good time.
On the second day, the envoy from the State of Luo went to Hajj. Emperor Li took Prince Li Yi to receive the envoy from the State of Luo.
Shangguan Yunyi, whose pseudonym is Lin Bo, passed by in disguise and took Chu Shaozheng to stand on the main hall and said loudly: "I heard about the birthday of your queen, and the king of our country specially sent a congratulatory gift. Please accept it!"
Shangguan Yunyi said, and ordered people to bring the congratulatory gifts up.
&nbs
p; "It is a specialty spice from our country of Luo. Although your country also has such spices, due to the cold climate in your country, all the seeds used to make spices are not as pure as those from the country of Luo, and the natural flavor is not as long-lasting as those from the country of Luo!"
Shangguan Yunyi, whose pseudonym is Lin Bo, said.
Li Huang nodded and said with a smile: "Indeed, when it comes to the cultivation of spices, Li State is not as good as Luo State, but most of the big ginger comes from Li State!"
Shangguan Yunyi's face changed slightly.
In fact, over the years, Emperor Luo had sent him to find a way to monopolize the export of ginger from the Li Kingdom. It was just a piece of earthen stuff dug out of the ground. Why should it be sold at such a high price? The price of spices in the Luo Kingdom has continued to rise over the years, among which
Eighty percent of the reason is because of the price of ginger, and because the price of spices has skyrocketed, causing other countries to no longer buy spices from the Luo Kingdom, but instead cooperate with the Li Kingdom!
Over the years, Shangguan Yunyi has been trying to "find out" why Li Guo's ginger is spicier than ginger from other countries. It is said that it is because Li Guo's ginger is not put on the market immediately after it is produced from the ground, but is placed on the market.
Ginger is stored in the well until after the New Year. The ginger taken out after the New Year is called old turmeric, and its taste is much spicier than fresh ginger.
Shangguan Yunyi had people try to dig wells for storage several times, but in the end they were either suffocated or bitten by insects, greatly reducing the smell.
Shangguan Yunyi stopped talking about spices and said again: "In addition to coming to congratulate the Queen of your country on her birthday, our Lord also wants to re-sign a maritime treaty with Lord Li to restrict trade between the two countries and strive to achieve peace and mutual benefit on the basis of peace and mutual benefit.
To stabilize the relationship between the two countries, naturally, the leader of the country also proposed generous conditions, please see it over by Emperor Li!"
A chamberlain presented the document presented by Shangguan Yunyi.
After Li Huang read the document, he smiled slowly: "The Luo State is willing to become a vassal state of the Li State? It is indeed a very favorable condition. If this is the case, then why does your country keep adding troops to the border? What is the reason?"
Shangguan Yunyi quickly said: "I'm afraid there is a misunderstanding, but the leader of the country should believe that since the leader of our country can send us here and put forward so many favorable conditions for the powerful country, he naturally does not want the two countries to go to war and share peace.
, but in the past few years, Li State has dumped goods to Luo State too rampantly, which has completely affected Luo State's economy. Luo State cannot take charge of it alone now, but the people are wronged, and I believe Emperor Li does not want a war between the two countries!"
Li Huang nodded: "Okay, I already know the purpose of your envoy's visit, but I still have to discuss it with all my dear friends, so I would like to ask the Luo envoy to rest in the post house for the time being!"
Shangguan Yunyi nodded and retreated.
As soon as Shangguan Yunyi left, all the civil and military ministers expressed their opinions one after another. Some said that Emperor Luo's sending an envoy to ask Luo State to become a vassal state of Li State was a trick and a pretentious one, while some were conservatives.
If a war breaks out between the two countries, and life will be devastated, it is better to temporarily trust the Luo Kingdom and resolve the issue amicably.
Li Huang listened for a long time and finally turned to look at Abao, "Prince, what do you think?"
Abao quickly stood up and said: "Father, I also feel that the visit of the Luo State envoy this time is strange. He probably wants to stabilize us first and then plot something behind our back. We should not be careless!"
Li Huang nodded. Li Huang spent a lot of time dealing with Qu Yi. He was arrogant and arrogant. He would probably fight to the death in the end and would never be willing to give up the Luo Kingdom! So this time, he must
There is a conspiracy!
Yang Xin put forward a different opinion, "Your Majesty, I think the sincerity of the Luo State envoy this time is commendable. Furthermore, the Luo State envoy is asking for peace and is willing to become our vassal state. If our country sends troops again, I'm afraid it will
Cause dissatisfaction among the people and arouse public resentment!"
Li Huang nodded, looked around, and finally set his sights on Chu Huan and Hua Qi, "Chu Huan, Hua Qi, this time you two will assist the prince in handling this matter!"
Chu Huan and Hua Qi immediately stood up and, together with the prince, said in unison: "Yes, I will obey the emperor's order!"
Li Huang nodded.
At this moment, Shangguan Yunyi, whose pseudonym was Lin Bo, forcibly suppressed the turbulent emotions in his heart, and discussed with Chu Shaozheng in a low voice as he walked.
"In your opinion, what are the chances of success in this negotiation?" Shangguan Yunyi asked in a low voice.
This was a good opportunity for him to turn around again. After so many years in Luo Country, he finally re-established his economic kingdom in Luo Country. However, due to the erosion of Li Country's economy, his economic kingdom was simply inferior to that of the five major families of the year.
It was child's play, so he was unwilling to accept it. Last year, he relied on Prince Yuan's rebellion to become a person trusted by Emperor Luo. This time, he got this once-in-a-lifetime opportunity. Emperor Luo had promised him that as long as he successfully eliminated the relationship between Luo Kingdom and
In the crisis of Li State, his Lin family will become the largest royal merchant in Luo State. By then, Yan Jiu will not be his opponent at all!
Chu Shaozheng said in a low voice: "If Emperor Luo really doesn't want to start a war and makes relatively large concessions, the chance of success will naturally be great, but I'm afraid Emperor Luo doesn't have this sincerity!"
Shangguan Yunyi was startled: "Since Emperor Luo sent me to negotiate, he has promised to make Luo Kingdom a vassal state of Li Kingdom. How can he be insincere?"
Chu Shaozheng hesitated for a moment, as if he wanted to say something, but in the end he nodded and said: "I hope it will be as you wish!"
Shangguan Yunyi also nodded and touched the beard on the adhesive tape. Maybe it was because it was too tight and he was not used to it.
At this moment, at the gate of the palace, Chu Yiqing brought Roufu back from the palace, with blessing riding a horse to guard him.
"Good luck to the Queen!" When the palace gate guard saw that it was the Queen's carriage, he quickly knelt down and saluted respectfully.
Shangguan Yunyi, who was twirling his beard, suddenly heard the words "Empress" and turned around suddenly to see a large and gorgeous carriage slowly passing by them.
"'Milk', 'Milk', 'Milk', 'Milk'!" Roufu was excited because she was playing with Qing Fei just now. She suddenly picked up a hydrangea and threw it outside the car.
Chu Yiqing was stunned and said angrily: "You kid, why are you throwing things around again?" He then stopped the carriage.
Shangguan Yunyi stood aside, looking at the carriage in trance. Suddenly, an embroidered ball was thrown out of it. He instinctively raised his hand to catch it. When he raised his eyes, he saw the carriage stopped, the curtain opened, and a
The face he had imagined several times in his mind suddenly appeared in front of him.
Shangguan Yunyi's hand holding the hydrangea tightly shook uncontrollably. In an instant, all the emotions and emotions surged into his heart, filling it up, mixing it, and finally breathing.
Chu Yiqing looked at the man standing opposite, his eyes dimming for a moment.
Although the man in front of him had a thicker face, darkened his skin color, had a beard, and slightly arched his back, Chu Yiqing still recognized him at a glance. Shangguan Yunyi, why is he in the palace?
Chu Shaozheng was extremely anxious at this moment. He was afraid that Chu Yiqing would see the flaw, so he reminded Shangguan Yunyi in a low voice: "Master Lin, Master Lin!"
Chu Yiqing was the first to regain her composure. She said calmly: "Sir, the child is naughty. Please return the hydrangea to us!"
Immediately afterwards, a guard came forward, took the hydrangea from Shangguan Yunyi's hand, and presented it to him with both hands respectfully.
Chu Yiqing stretched out his arm from the car curtain and took the hydrangea.
Shangguan Yunyi stared at the slender white arms in a daze.
"Let's go!" Chu Yiqing lowered the car curtain and ordered in a low voice.
"Yes!" the carriage driver responded respectfully, and the carriage slowly drove towards the inner palace again.
Blessing, who had been following the carriage, stepped forward, turned around, looked at Shangguan Yunyi, and said suddenly: "Are you the envoy of the Luo Kingdom?"
Only then did Shangguan Yunyi come back to his senses and quickly responded: "Exactly!"
"I am King Fu, and I want to ask you, is Luo Kingdom fun?" Blessing asked.
Shangguan Yunyi immediately said: "Of course it's fun. If King Fu is interested, you can go to the inn to find me. I can talk to King Fu about the customs and customs of the Luo Kingdom!"
Blessing raised his eyebrows, "Okay, then it's a deal!"
After blessing him, he rode away.
Shangguan Yunyi looked at the back of Blessing, feeling very uncomfortable in her heart. That was her second son. The one in the carriage should be Princess Roufu, who was favored by Emperor Li. Now, she has three children.
Mother, if back then...
Shangguan Yunyi shook his head vigorously. He could no longer think about this. What he wanted to think about was that this woman had ruined everything for him. One day, he would make this woman pay the due price!
When Chu Shaozheng saw that Shangguan Yunyi had returned to normal, he breathed a sigh of relief and whispered: "I was really scared to death just now. How dare you look at Chu Yiqing at such a close distance?
She recognized it..."
"She won't recognize me!" Shangguan Yunyi whispered, "There were so many people in the hall just now, including Li Huang, and no one saw through my true identity!"
Chu Shaozheng frowned, "Chu Yiqing is different, Chu Yiqing is her..."
"Okay, let's leave the palace!" Shangguan Yunyi didn't want to discuss this topic with Chu Shaozheng anymore and strode away.
Chu Shaozheng frowned. It seems that this Shangguan Yunyi still misses Chu Yiqing. I really don’t know what’s so good about that woman!
In the Qiankun Palace, Chu Yiqing personally carried Roufu out of the carriage, letting the nanny coax him to play, and then entered the room by himself.
Sitting in front of the dressing table, Chu Yiqing carefully recalled the process of meeting Shangguan Yunyi just now. Chu Yiqing quickly looked back and told Yingrun: "You go before
Let’s take a look and see if the emperor has gone to court. If he has gone to court, please ask the emperor to come!”
Yingrun responded quickly.
As soon as Yingrun went out, Blessing came in happily and said loudly: "Mother, that person just now was the envoy of the Luo Kingdom. He said that the Luo Kingdom is very interesting!"
After traveling around Li Country for several months, Blessing's biggest wish now is to cross the ocean and visit foreign countries. Especially when I was in the mansion just now, I heard Concubine Qing tell many little stories about the outside world, and Blessing's heart was itching even more.
"There is something wrong with that person. You'd better not have more contact with him! Also, from now on, you have to concentrate on your studies. You are not allowed to leave the palace again without my approval. Do you understand?" Chu Yiqing whispered.
said.
This time when Shangguan Yunyi comes back, Luo Huang is behind him. Before Shangguan Yunyi's intention is found out, the most important thing is to protect the safety of several children!
Blessing pouted, a little reluctantly, "But grandma is still in the house!"
Prince Bok's Mansion was just a separate garden for Blessing. Before he became an adult, he still lived in the Gyeongbokgung Palace in the palace.
"I will naturally send someone to explain to you. Now go back to the palace!" Chu Yiqing scolded with a straight face.
Blessing sighed, nodded, and left the room dejectedly.
Chu Yiqing frowned. What conspiracy and conspiracy were Shangguan Yunyi and Lan Yi planning this time?
At this moment, Li Huang had just left the court. Hearing Chu Yiqing calling him, he immediately arrived at Qiankun Palace.
"What's wrong? But there is something wrong with Concubine Mother?" Li Huang knew that Chu Yiqing took several children to accompany Concubine Qing early this morning.
"The mother-in-law is very good, and the Sixth Emperor's Uncle is accompanying her!" Chu Yiqing whispered.
Li Yue had no roads yesterday and only arrived at Prince Fu's Mansion this morning.
Li Huang had complicated feelings for Li Yue, but considering that he had taken care of Concubine Qing for so many years, he had no choice but to say: "That's good!"
"The envoy from the Luo Kingdom came to the court today?" Chu Yiqing asked.
Li Huang nodded, "Just after leaving the palace, he brought congratulatory gifts, and on behalf of Emperor Luo, he proposed a request to renegotiate the sea policy and wanted to boycott our goods from entering the port. However, as compensation, he proposed the amount he was willing to pay as tribute every year.
It’s very impressive, and the most important thing is that I am willing to become a tributary of Li State, just to be a vassal king!"
Chu Yiqing was stunned and asked in surprise: "How is this possible? We have all experienced Lan Yi's temper. Back then, in order to fight for the right to access the sea, he would rather seal off the sea than compromise. How could he suddenly propose such a condition?
Moreover, Luo Kingdom is not in a situation that is out of control. The Yan family, the largest royal merchant in Luo Kingdom, is still our biggest obstacle, accounting for one-third of the market share. Under such circumstances, Emperor Luo actually proposed this initiative.
condition?"
"I am also suspicious, so I have asked Chu Huan and Hua Qi to assist Abao in handling this matter and find out the true purpose of Emperor Luo!" Li Huang nodded.
"Envoy from Luo Kingdom, don't you see anything strange?" Chu Yiqing suddenly asked.
Li Huang was stunned, "Weird?"
Chu Yiqing whispered: "I brought Roufu into the palace just now, and I happened to meet the envoy from the Luo Kingdom. The envoy from the Luo Kingdom is Shangguan Yunyi!"
Li Huang suddenly opened his eyes wide, "Shangguan Yunyi? Did you read that correctly?"
"I read people and have a photographic memory. How could I be wrong? But Shangguan Yunyi is in disguise. It's normal that you didn't recognize him!" Chu Yiqing said calmly.
Li Huang paused, stared at Chu Yiqing for a long time, and said with an ambiguous smile: "No, I didn't even recognize him, but you recognized him at a glance. Is it because Shangguan Yunyi was once your fiancé?
"
Chu Yiqing glared at Li Huang fiercely, and Li Huang laughed loudly and hugged Chu Yiqing in his arms, "I was just joking, why should you take it seriously, but since you know that this Luo Kingdom envoy is Shangguan Yunyi
It's just a disguise, so I already know about Luo Guo's request for peace, don't worry, I'll let my uncle pay attention to it at the border!"
Chu Yiqing nodded, "I'm afraid this is Emperor Luo's delaying strategy. Anyway, you and Abao should be careful when dealing with it!"
"Don't worry, the Luo Kingdom is at the end of its strength now, and it can only play this kind of trick now!" Li Huang said.
Chu Yiqing nodded.
The scenery of the Royal Palace of Luo Kingdom remains the same. It is March in the spring. Catkins are flying, peach blossoms are full of branches, and the fragrance of flowers is rippling in the clear wind. The soft pink petals are dancing gracefully in the wind, and even the breeze seems to be moving.
It was dyed pink, caressing the pavilions and pavilions of the palace softly. Only the white elegiac couplets pasted on the pillars revealed a touch of untimely sadness.
In the royal study, Qu Yi
He raised his eyes to look at the portrait of Queen Yin, with a hint of sarcasm on his lips.
He never expected that the person who manipulated Prince Yuan against him was actually his mother. She said that he was not a good emperor. This time, he wanted her to see if he was a good emperor!
A chamberlain came forward and reported cautiously: "Your Majesty, Master Liu is back!"
Qu Yi looked back and said in a deep voice: "Let him come in!"
The chamberlain hurriedly went to convey the message.
Liu Guang strode in, knelt down and reported: "Your Majesty, there is a letter from Shangguan Yunyi. They have arrived in the capital. Everything goes well!"
Qu Yi suddenly sneered, "Very good, let Shangguan Yunyi hold Li Huang back, and then we will catch him off guard!"
"My subordinates don't understand why the emperor must go to Shangguan Yunyi. The emperor should know Shangguan Yunyi's ambition!" Liu Guang asked puzzledly, "And if Shangguan Yunyi's identity is exposed, then the emperor's
plan……"
"Shangguan Yunyi has wolfish ambitions. He thought that our Luo Kingdom was still that powerful and could allow him to dominate alone. When I sent him this time, I just wanted him to come back, and I just wanted his identity to be exposed.
"Only in this way will Li Huang doubt the conditions I proposed and will not agree hastily. But at the same time, he cannot guess my intentions, which will only delay it longer!" Qu Yi sneered, "I will be unprepared when the time comes.
, take down Li State, and Li Huang will definitely not spare Shangguan Yunyi, killing two birds with one stone!"
Only then did Liu Guang understand the emperor's intention and quickly praised: "Your Majesty is wise!"
Qu Yi's expression became more and more proud.
Liu Guang paused for a moment and stopped talking.
"Is there anything else?" Qu Yi asked coldly.
"Your Majesty, the person you are looking for has been found, but..." Liu Guang sighed.
Qu Yi asked in a deep voice: "What happened?"
Liu Guang could only say: "The emperor will understand after seeing it himself!"
In the room, Qu Yi looked at Lan Die lying on the couch, his expression changed drastically.
A foul smell emanated from Lan Die's body. The imperial doctor said that Lan Die was infected with a hidden disease. Now his lower body has become ulcerated and pus-filled, and he may not be able to live for a few days!
Qu Yi stepped forward slowly, the muscles on his face trembling.
Shangguan Yu, he actually treats Lan Die like this. She just likes him, but he actually...
"You bastard!" Qu Yi said bitterly, clenching his fists.
Perhaps hearing Qu Yi's voice, Lan Die's closed eyes suddenly opened. She turned her head, as if she was looking for something, and finally saw Qu Yi. She stared blankly for a while, as if she couldn't believe it, and finally came back to her senses.
, cried out loudly, looked excited, and screamed crazily, but could not say a word.
Qu Yi looked back at Liu Guang, "What on earth is going on? Why can't you speak?"
Liu Guang quickly whispered: "My subordinate found the young lady in a ruined temple where beggars gathered. At that time, the young lady had already had her tongue cut out and was seriously ill. It is said that cutting out the tongue is a practice in some alley brothels.
, what they are afraid of is that the abducted woman will reveal her life experience and cause trouble..."
With a "pop!" sound, Qu Yi slapped the table beside him with one hand, and the table suddenly collapsed.
Liu Guang quickly stood aside.
"Imperial doctor, please listen to me. You must cure the princess's illness, otherwise, you will come to see her!" Qu Yi ordered in a bitter voice.
Several imperial doctors quickly knelt down and begged for mercy. The patient now only had one breath left, and it was impossible to cure him. This...
"I don't care, I want her to live!" Qu Yi stepped forward, picked up Lan Die and said, "Die'er, big brother has finally found you. Don't worry, no one will bully you as long as big brother is here!"
Lan Die huddled in Qu Yi's arms, screaming, looking desperate.
After she was bought back by Ma Laizi, he beat her every day. In order to prevent her from escaping, he would not give her clothes to wear at night no matter how cold the weather was. Finally one day, she ran away while Ma Laizi was drunk.
When I came out, I met a woman. I thought the woman meant well, but I didn't expect that she was actually a human trafficker. He sold her to a dirty brothel like a hutong. He was afraid that she would run away, so he cut out her tongue and forced her to accept customers.
, no matter what kind of customers they were, whether they were sick or not, they all had to be accepted. In the end, she contracted a hidden disease, and the brothel left her on the street, and she became a beggar.
Several times, when she squatted in that dirty corner and saw the gorgeous carriages and sedan chairs going back and forth on the street, she would recall her happy days in the Lan family. At the beginning, if she was not so persistent,
Won't
If you did those things because you wanted to get Shangguan Yu, you would definitely not end up like today!
Two lines of clear tears fell slowly. Lan Die tightly grasped the skirt of Qu Yi's clothes and slowly closed his eyes.
"Die'er!" Qu Yi shook Lan Die's body desperately, but unfortunately Lan Die couldn't hear it anymore.
"Shangguanyu, Chu Yiqing, I want you to pay with blood!" Qu Yi shouted to the sky!
In Qiankun Palace, Chu Yiqing was mending clothes for Blessing. The needle suddenly pierced her finger. She quickly sucked her finger into her mouth and frowned tightly. She didn't know why, but at this moment, she felt a little uneasy.
"What's wrong?" Li Huang was reviewing the memorial next to him. He quickly turned around, looked at Chu Yiqing's fingers carefully, and whispered: "These jobs can be given to the Knitting Bureau. If you are worried, you can let Yingrun do it yourself.
do what?"
Chu Yiqing smiled and shook his head, "It's okay, I'm idle anyway, so I have something to do!"
Seeing that the fingertip was still bleeding, Li Huang put it in his mouth without hesitation and shouted, looking at Chu Yiqing with a smile, "Did I neglect you again? Why don't we go take a mandarin duck bath?"
Chu Yiqing quickly pulled his fingers out of Li Huang's mouth and whispered: "We are an old married couple, why are we doing so many tricks? Besides, there are still so many memorials that have not been approved!"
Li Huang directly handed over the memorial and loudly ordered: "Come here, send the memorial to Jingyi Palace and ask the prince to help me share the work!"
Chu Yiqing was about to glare at him when he saw Xiao Fuzi come in and said with a smile: "Your Majesty, the prince left the palace in the afternoon and he hasn't come back yet!"
Li Huang was startled, looked back and cried to Chu Yiqing: "What should I do? How about letting Blessing help me approve it?"
Chu Yiqing blushed and ignored him. He just asked Xiao Fuzi: "Did the prince say where he was going? Why haven't you come back so late?"
"I don't know, but the prince seemed very happy when he left. He only took Yayoi and Raiyo with him!" Xiao Fuzi quickly replied.
"Don't worry, A Bao's martial arts are enough to protect himself, and Ade will protect him secretly!" Li Huang suppressed his smile, knowing that Chu Yiqing was worried about A Bao's safety.
"Shangguan Yunyi should be more careful in the capital!" Chu Yiqing whispered, and then turned to tell Xiao Fuzi, "Go and tell Mr. Lei to go out to find His Highness the Crown Prince. If there is nothing else important, let him
Return to the palace as soon as possible!"
Xiao Fuzi responded quickly.
"It seems that we have to send Shangguan Yunyi away quickly, otherwise you will always be worried!" Li Huang lazily leaned on the bed and said.
Chu Yiqing is really worried!
The former Buddha Laughter Hall has been out of business for nearly three years. However, because the Buddha Laughter Hall is the only restaurant that can compete with the world, it is still popular among some people in the capital, especially those who chant sutras, recite Buddha's name, are charitable, and like to eat vegetarian food.
In people's hearts, when they walk to the old site of Buddha Laughter Hall, they can't help but take a look at it, hoping that Buddha Laughter Hall will reopen, and this day has finally arrived.
Since yesterday, the Buddha's Laughter Hall has opened the door that had been sealed, hung up the signboard, and some workers have started cleaning inside. Today at noon, a rich fragrance wafted out from inside, which immediately attracted many people to come and inquire about the Buddha.
Is the Laughing Hall about to open? Especially the old neighbors. Seeing that the shopkeeper has not changed, they all come up to chat and ask where they have been over the years.
At this moment, in the private room on the second floor of Foxiao Hall, Yan Wan changed out of his usual men's clothes, washed his face, put on an apple green narrow-sleeved shirt, a white skirt with a large hem, and a pair of deerskin boots.
There was a long jade hairpin stuck on it, her hair was jet black, and her eyes were sparkling, looking at A Bao who came into the room.
Abao asked Yayoi and Sun Leisheng to guard outside the door, and then entered the room alone. As soon as he entered the room, he was looked at by Yan Wan, and he suddenly felt uncomfortable.
"You said you have something to do with me?" Abao whispered, his heart beating thumpingly.
"I have something to do. Come, sit down first and try the vegetarian food I made myself!" Yan Wan said with a smile and asked A Bao to sit down.
Abao sat opposite Yan Wan.
Eight exquisite side dishes were placed on the white tablecloth with gold edges, all of which are famous vegetarian dishes of Foxiaotang. The fragrance comes from these vegetarian dishes.
Abao raised his chopsticks, tasted a few bites, nodded and said, "Except for what my mother made, yours is the most delicious!"
Yan Guan couldn't help but smile and said: "I am very satisfied if I can compare with the cooking skills of Empress Chu, who is famous in the four countries! Come, eat more!"
Yan Wan served Ah Bao some food and was very warm and natural.
A Bao looked at Yan Wan's smile and felt that there was something
A little strange, but still asked: "How is your brother's condition?"
"It's completely healed. Speaking of which, I really want to thank you very much. If you hadn't seduced that ghost doctor back then, my brother would have..." Yan Wan poured another glass of wine for A Bao, "Here,
Have a drink too!”
Abao quickly shook his head and said, "My mother doesn't allow me to drink!"
Yan Wan didn't force it, looked at Abao, and said suddenly: "Actually, when I come back this time, I came here specifically to see you!"
Abao was startled, his heart beating suddenly, but when he thought of their identities, he still suppressed it with all his strength.
"About Luo Kingdom!" Yan Wan continued.
Abao suddenly breathed a sigh of relief, but at the same time he felt a little disappointed.
Yan Wan lowered his eyebrows and smiled, deliberately pretending not to see anything, and continued: "Do you know that the Yan family, the largest royal merchant in Luo Kingdom, is now?"
Abao nodded, "Yes, and I know that it is Master Yan Jiu's property. Now that the real Yan Jiu has just recovered from his illness, he has been recuperating for the past three years. Naturally, this Master Yan Jiu is your imposter!"
Yan Wan smiled and said: "Exactly!"
Abao said seriously: "Then your purpose of coming is..."
Yan Wan also lowered his eyes, hesitated for a moment, and finally whispered: "Let's not talk about state affairs first. I just want to ask you, what do you think of me?"
Abao was stunned, and his face suddenly felt hot. Could it be that she knew about his feelings for her?
Although Yan Wan has been living outside, she is a girl after all. It is indeed a bit embarrassing for her to bring up this matter personally. However, over the years, she has always regretted her original choice. She thought that she was only temporarily attracted to A Bao.
, plus the special status of the two of them, so she did not persist. However, after returning to Luo Country, as she grew older, she did not forget A Bao. On the contrary, she missed A Bao more and more. That day outside the city
The moment they met, she became more determined in her decision and would never change it!
"What...what do you mean?" Abao's tongue couldn't help but curl up a little, and his expression became unnatural.
"Phew!" Yan Wan suddenly chuckled. Just by looking at Abao's reaction, she confirmed her suspicion. It seemed that she was not in unrequited love, so it would be easy to handle!
"That's it. I hold one-third of the Luo Kingdom's property. As long as I surrender to you, one-third of the Luo Kingdom will be in your hands. And without me, the supply of the Luo Army will be a problem."
, when the time comes, Luo Kingdom will be defeated without a fight!" Yan Wan felt confident in his heart, and immediately felt confident, and said with a calm expression.
Abao finally got out of the predicament he was in. He coughed twice and straightened his expression, "What are your conditions?"
"What's the condition? I'm not talking to you, but to Queen Chu!" Yan Wan curled her lips and smiled, her eyebrows playfully playing, "Today we are just chatting and reminiscing about old times!"
Abao was startled, "Didn't you just say..."
"It was just now, now it is now!" Yan Wan smiled even more happily, "Eat quickly, the food is getting cold!"
Po had no choice but to lift his chopsticks again.
Unknowingly, the two of them talked for two hours. When Cai Li came in to hold the lamp, Abao was shocked to realize that the sky was already dark!
"It's time for me to go back!" Abao stood up and said.
Yan Wan also stood up, "Okay, then please go back and tell Empress Chu that Emperor Luo Guo Yan Jiu wants to see her!"
Abao raised his eyes and looked at Yan Wan, wondering what "medicine" she was buying in the gourd.
"I'll take you out!" Yan Wan smiled and followed Abao out naturally.
Abao was startled. He had too many puzzles in his heart, but he couldn't ask. He just followed her out.
Lei Yuan was ordered to come to the Foxiao Hall. As soon as he entered the hall, he happened to see A Bao and Yan Wan coming downstairs.
"Sir, Madam is worried about you, please go home!" Lei Yuan stepped forward, looked at Yan Wan with an expression on his face, then bowed and saluted.
Abao nodded and strode away.
"Be sure to tell me, I'm waiting for your news!" Yan Wan shouted from behind.
Lei Yuan glanced back at her.
Yan Wan made a naughty face at Lei Yuan.
After getting on the carriage, Po was still immersed in the happy time just now.
Lei Yuan got on the carriage and drove the carriage himself. Although he wanted to know why the woman wanted to see Queen Chu, he was a man of few words and knew his duty, so he didn't say a word.
Question.
Yayoi and Sun Leisheng followed behind on horseback.
When he returned to the palace, the palace had already turned on the lights, and Abao hurried to the Qiankun Palace.
In the Qiankun Palace, Chu Yiqing had already had dinner. Seeing A Bao come back, he asked the small kitchen to cook a few more dishes and bring them to the table.
"Mom, I just used it at Foxiao Hall!" Abao whispered.
"Buddha Xiaotang?" Chu Yiqing and Li Huang had been there, so they knew it. They asked with a smile: "Didn't you say it has been closed for more than two years? Why, it has reopened now?"
Abao hesitated for a moment, "Qu Yanwan is back, that is her property!"
Chu Yiqing said softly and asked with a smile: "What do you want to say to mother?"
Abao pondered for a moment and shook his head.
Looking at A Bao's appearance, Chu Yiqing sighed, stepped forward, and stroked A Bao's hair lovingly, "I feel sorry for you, A Bao, but mother doesn't want to see you like this. I just like it if I like it."
, if you can't even suppress your feelings for someone, then in my mother's heart..."
Abao was startled and raised his eyes to look at Chu Yiqing, "Mother, you..."
"My mother has nothing against you and Qu Yanwan, it's just that her identity is a little more troublesome, but she will still support you!" Chu Yiqing said with a smile.
"Mother, thank you, but I promise you to be a good emperor. Now the relationship between the Luo Kingdom and our country is tense, and there might be a fight someday. Qu Yanwan is the princess of the enemy country, I..." Abao's
The sound is getting smaller and smaller.
"It's a bit tricky, but if you don't know how to love someone, how do you know how to love the people of the world?" Chu Yiqing smiled and said, "Leave this matter to me, I will help you think of a way, but first, I have to
Let’s meet this Qu Yan Wan first, I want to see what charm this Qu Yan Wan has that makes my Abao like her so much!”
Abao couldn't help but blush, and whispered: "She also wants to see you, she said she has something to tell you!"
"Oh?" Chu Yiqing raised his eyebrows, "That's just right. You can invite her to the palace before tomorrow!"
Abao nodded quickly.
In Foxiao Hall, Yan Wan was very excited after receiving the news sent by Abao, and quickly started to prepare clothes for entering the palace.
Cai Li hurriedly walked into the room and reported in a low voice: "Miss, the master and the young master have left Luocheng safely!"
Yan Wan looked back and smiled: "Very good, thank you for your hard work, Uncle Cai, but Uncle Cai, can you help me see what I look good on?"
Yan Wan drew the clothes on his body.
Cai Li was startled, his face immediately turned red, and he coughed twice unnaturally: "Miss, this subordinate is a rough person, how can he understand this?"
Yan Wan patted his head: "That's right, then, go to the street and find someone who knows how to dress up and dress up. Tomorrow is very important to me. I must dress grandly and not be too obvious!"
Cai Li originally wanted to persuade Yan Wan, but when he saw Yan Wan being so cheerful, he sighed quietly, responded, turned around and prepared to go out.
"Uncle Cai, thank you very much!" Suddenly, Yan Wan whispered.
Cai Li was startled, and when he looked back, he saw Yan Guan looking at him with a smile, "I know my decision is a bit willful, but it is related to the happiness of my life. I like that man very much, so I think I
Fight for it!”
Cai Li paused and whispered: "As long as Miss is happy!"
Yan Wan nodded heavily, "I will definitely be happy!"
Cai Li turned around and walked out, standing in the corridor with flickering lights, and couldn't help but wipe his red eyes.
The lady has really grown up!
On the second day, Yan Wan got dressed up and got on the carriage that came to pick people up from the palace, and went straight into the palace.
In the side hall of Jingyi Palace, Abao was walking back and forth restlessly, looking outside from time to time.
"Master, Master, here we come!" Sun Leisheng rushed in from outside and gasped, "I saw the carriage picking up Miss Qu!"
Abao clenched his fists and said, "Go and inquire again. If there is any trouble, come back and report it as soon as possible. Do you understand?"
Lei Sheng nodded immediately, ran out again with a whoosh, and disappeared after a while.
"Good boy, you have learned Qinggong in vain!" Abao praised, looking back at Yayoi who was standing aside, and said: "You go too, why are you standing there in a daze?"
Yayoi then walked out slowly, and when she reached the door, she was kicked by Po and sent away.
In the flower hall of Qiankun Palace, Chu Yiqing looked at the woman in front of him.
She is of medium height, and her skin is naturally not fair compared to those of the women sitting around in the boudoir, but it is a healthy wheat color. Her eyes are big, and she is a smart girl at first glance. She is wearing a heavenly dress.
The tight-fitting blue top with narrow sleeves and lapel reveals a string of longan-sized pearl chains around the neck. There are no embroideries on the clothes, and there is no piping on the collar. He is a very capable adopted son. There is no skirt underneath, and
She is wearing the moon-white trousers, which are relatively popular in the capital these days, and a pair of gold-plated and cloud-cut suede knee-high boots. This outfit has the charm of the Luo country's costumes, and it also combines the national conditions of the Li country.
The "color" also brings out the charm of Yan Wan with a hint of stubbornness, and is full of flavor.
Chu Yiqing curled her lips in satisfaction. Her Abao's eyes were indeed good. Although this Qu Yanwan was not a stunning beauty, her temperament was rare. It could be seen at a glance that she was soft and soft.
Strong girl.
Qu Yanwan bowed respectfully first, then raised his eyes and looked at Chu Yiqing. Today Chu Yiqing was only wearing a homely silk dress, a simple and elegant white color, but the temperament around her body made that white color
』It gives off a different kind of taste, which is extremely beautiful.
Chu Yiqing asked with a faint smile: "I heard that you want to see me?"
Yan Wan smiled and said: "Yes, it is a business matter and a private matter!"
Chu Yiqing raised his eyebrows, "Okay, you say it!"
Yan Wan raised his eyes, his eyes clear, "I want to be the crown prince of Li State and marry Li Yi!"
Chu Yiqing was stunned and couldn't help but laugh in a low voice. It's interesting. It's really interesting. A bold woman like Qu Yanwan is really rare!
"Queen, you may think that I am a little shameless and just talking nonsense, but I am serious! In exchange, I will return to the Jiangli Kingdom and hand over the power of one of the three people in the Luo Kingdom!" Qu Yanwan said seriously.
Chu Yiqing also suppressed his smile. The woman in front of him was Yan Jiu, the leader of Luo Kingdom's royal merchants. She already knew this fact from Abao, but she didn't expect that this woman would put forward such a condition when they met today!
"I have never thought of using conditions in exchange for Abao's marriage!" Chu Yiqing raised his eyebrows slightly, his voice slightly stern, "You seem to have made the wrong idea!"
Yan Wan shook his head calmly, "I don't use conditions in exchange for this marriage, but use conditions in exchange for happiness. Since I was twelve years old, for the sake of my seriously ill brother, I have learned to find a way to solve everything by myself. When I came to see Chu
Queen, I have met the prince before. I am very sure that the prince and I are in love with each other, but there is a gap in front of us. Now, I have tried my best to cross this gap. As long as Chu Chu
The Queen nodded, A Bao and I will gain happiness, Li Guo will gain Luo State, killing two birds with one stone!"
Yan Wan added again: "I returned to the Li Kingdom not only for the sake of the prince, but also for the people of the world. Now the war between the Luo Kingdom and the Li Kingdom is bound to begin. If this war can be quelled, even if I bear the sin of the ages,
I don’t care about the infamy!”
After Yan Guan finished speaking, he stood up and looked towards Chu Yiqing, "I said the above words as Emperor Yan Jiu, but now, I say it as a woman who deeply loves the prince, please Queen Chu
Fulfill us!"
After Qu Yanwan left, Chu Yiqing kept recalling the entire process of meeting Qu Yanwan and every word she said. Slowly, she raised the corners of her lips.
"What are you thinking about?" Li Huang came in, saw Chu Yiqing's smile, and couldn't help but asked with interest, "I heard that you met that Qu Yanwan today?"
Chu Yiqing nodded and said with a smile: "Do you know what she said to me?"
Li Huang snorted coldly, "What can I say? I'm not here for Abao!"
Chu Yiqing shook his head, "You are only half right, Qu Yanwan is here to give away the power of Luo Kingdom's imperial merchants, and the condition is that she must marry A Bao!"
Li Huang was startled, "An imperial merchant from the Luo Kingdom?"
Chu Yiqing nodded, "Yan Jiu, whose pseudonym is Qu Yanwan, is now the largest royal merchant in the Luo Kingdom. She is even responsible for the supply of the troops. If she really surrenders, then it won't matter what conspiracy Qu Yi has.
Down!"
"You agreed?" Li Huang asked.
"Of course I agreed. I'll kill two birds with one stone. Where can I find such a perfect thing?" Chu Yiqing said with a smile.
Li Huang sighed, "I think you are doing it for A Bao, right? In the past two years, A Bao has not forgotten that Qu Yan Wan!"
The teahouse that A Bao often went to was right across from Foxiao Hall, and Li Huang already knew it very well.
"Now that Bao is sixteen, it's time to kiss him. Before, we were afraid that he would be young.
Besides, Qu Yanwan has such an identity, we should naturally help him to be more considerate. Now that Qu Yanwan has shown his sincerity, we naturally can't stop him anymore! It's just that it's more difficult for the father, and the father is full of it.
Three years, and now we are ready to go!" A few days ago, Li Li asked the imperial family to submit a list of the unmarried daughters of the ministers, and he kept saying that he would not only choose the princess, but also the concubine.
Several concubines, and now Li Li is eager to have his grandson!
"If that's the case, then hurry up and issue the order!" Li Huang said urgently.
If A Bao likes Qu Yanwan, Li Huang also wants to help A Bao!
"That won't work. Now that Shangguan Yunyi is still in the capital, if we expose the marriage between Qu Yanwan and A Bao, I'm afraid Shangguan Yunyi and Qu Yi will be ready. It's better not to say anything.
Your father, let's hold it off for the time being. If it really can't be delayed, will you forget the secret decree you gave me three years ago?" Chu Yiqing chuckled.
Over the years, she has tried her best to avoid conflicts with Li Xin, but for the sake of Abao's happiness, she must fight for it!
"Father is really..." Li Huang shook his head.
In Shoukang Palace, Li Li was looking at the list sent by the Zongren Mansion. Now he didn't want to do anything about it, otherwise Li Huang and Chu Yiqing would always find excuses. He went through the list according to the list and portraits.
I just drew a few people, and as the candidate for the crown princess, I chose Hu Zhi'er, the daughter of Hu Xun, a veteran of the two dynasties. Hu Xun is Hu Tu's eldest brother. Now he basically doesn't care about political affairs, but Hu Zhi'er belongs to the Hu family.
People, in this way, the relationship between the prince and Anding Hou is even closer.
"Show it to the emperor and ask him to issue an order quickly!" Li Li said, and asked someone to send the sketched list to Qiankun Palace.
After a while, the people who went to Qiankun Palace came back with embarrassed expressions on their faces.
"How? What did the emperor say?" Li Li asked.
"Reporting to the Emperor, the Emperor said that the prince's marriage has been completely entrusted to the queen, and now the queen is waiting outside the palace to see her!"
Li Li frowned and said coldly: "Please come in, Queen!"
The attendant hurriedly went to invite him.
Chu Yiqing walked in slowly with Yingqian and respectfully saluted Li Xi, "Father, Jin An!"
"Okay, get up, have you seen the roster?" Li Li waved his hand.
Chu Yiqing smiled and said: "My daughter-in-law came today just for A Bao's marriage. Father, three years ago, the emperor promised his daughter-in-law that A Bao would make the decision on A Bao's marriage. My daughter-in-law was afraid that her father would be too worried."
After all the hard work, in the end Abao couldn’t look down on anyone, for fear of letting down his father’s wishes!”
"Nonsense, this marriage has always been the order of the parents and the matchmaker. What's more, A Bao is the prince and the future king of a country. His marriage affects the people of the world. How can he leave it alone? Queen, you
That's too much nonsense!" Li Li scolded loudly.
"Father, A Bao's marriage is indeed related to the people of the world!" Chu Yiqing smiled lightly, "If my father can agree to A Bao's marriage, my daughter-in-law promises to win the Luo Kingdom within half a year!"
Li Li was startled, "Seriously?"
Chu Yiqing smiled faintly: "If the daughter-in-law cannot do it, she will not interfere in A Bao's marriage. But if after half a year, the Luo Kingdom returns to the Li Kingdom, then the father, A Bao's marriage..."
Over the years, Li Li has been waiting for this day. Although he is unwilling to do so, he thinks that he will still be able to see Luo Guo, who has been arrogant and domineering for so many years, surrender to Li Guo in his lifetime...
"Okay, I promise you, it's a deal!" Li Li said loudly!
Chu Yiqing nodded.
A month later, Qu Yi issued a military order in the Luo Kingdom's palace. This time, he would personally lead his troops to attack the Kingdom of Li by surprise!
Eight years after Li Huang, the third emperor of Li State, ascended the throne, Luo State launched a massive attack on Yuncheng on the border of Li State, and the Battle of Yuncheng broke out.
At the same time as the news came, Li Huang also sent Chu Huan to the inn to capture Shangguan Yunyi.
In the inn, Shangguan Yunyi was still confused. Seeing Chu Huan appear with a large number of officers and soldiers, he immediately jumped up from his seat and yelled: "What are you doing? We are envoys from the Luo Kingdom and we are here to negotiate."
Yes, how dare you..."
"Shangguan Yunyi, are you still pretending?" Chu Huan sneered, "Now the Luo Kingdom has attacked the Li Kingdom, and the Yuncheng Station broke out three days ago. You don't know, right?"
Shangguan Yunyi was stunned and shook his head in disbelief, "You're talking nonsense. It's impossible, absolutely impossible. Emperor Luo clearly promised me that it was a real peace negotiation. How could he..."
Chu Huan sneered, "You were deceived by Emperor Luo. Now your property has been expropriated for national use. I heard that half of the military rations this time are your money!"
&nbs
p; Shangguan Yunyi slowly widened his eyes, and the flesh on his face trembled, "You are talking nonsense, it is absolutely impossible!"
Shangguan Yunyi said while looking for a way out.
"Don't let him escape!" Chu Huan said coldly, drew his sword, stepped forward, and stabbed Shangguan Yunyi.
Shangguan Yunyi dodged while quickly jumping onto the roof and running away.
Shangguan Yunyi's light work was outstanding, and he quickly left behind the guards chasing him. Chu Huan passed the guards and followed Shangguan Yunyi closely.
Shangguan Yunyi and Chu Huan were leaping and tumbling on the roof, and a group of guards were chasing them in the alley. There were even more guards outside who surrounded the entire inn.
Shangguan Yunyi fled while observing the situation below. He knew that it might be difficult to escape today, so he suddenly turned around and stabbed Chu Huan.
Chu Huan was using Qinggong to pursue Shangguan Yunyi behind him. Unexpectedly, Shangguan Yunyi suddenly turned around and used all his strength. He quickly drew his sword to attack, narrowly dodging Shangguan Yunyi's sword.
However, his body tilted to one side due to inertia.
Shangguan Yunyi saw the opportunity, and immediately pulled out the dagger from his waist with his other hand, stared at Chu Huan's waist from behind, and ordered in a low voice: "If you want to survive, just listen to me!"
Chu Huan stiffened and slowly put down his sword.
At this time, the guards led by Lei Yuan surrounded the roof where the two of them were.
"Raise your hands!" Shangguan Yunyi shouted loudly, placing the dagger in front of Chu Huan, and shouted to Lei Yuan: "If you want him to live, listen to me and make way for him."
Come here, otherwise, I will have this boy buried with you!"
The leader of the guards was a little undecided and looked at Lei Yuan.
Lei Yuan raised his eyes and saw that Shangguan Yunyi's dagger had cut through Chu Huan's neck, and blood was flowing out. He knew that Shangguan Yunyi was now in a trapped beast, and if he went crazy, he might really kill Chu Huan.
Huan also waved his hand and ordered people to retreat.
Shangguan Yunyi tapped Chu Huan's acupuncture point, held his arm with one hand, put the dagger on his neck with the other, slowly descended from the roof, and then found a way to escape.
"Close the city gate and don't let Shangguan Yunyi escape from the capital!" Lei Yuan quickly ordered.
"Yes!" the guard leader responded quickly and led his people to guard the city gate.
Shangguan Yunyi dragged Chu Huan and fled in the alley. Hearing that the city gate had been closed, he was suddenly at a loss.
"Shangguan Yunyi, you can't escape!" Chu Huan said in a deep voice.
"Shut your stinky mouth!" Shangguan Yunyi turned around and hit Chu Huan's head hard with his dagger, causing blood to flow from Chu Huan's head.
Chu Huan snorted.
"Sir Shangguan!" Suddenly, a voice rang out. Chu Huan was startled. He raised his eyes and saw Chu Shaozheng rushing over with four or five people.
When Chu Shaozheng saw the bleeding Chu Huan, he was stunned. However, he did not step forward. Instead, he said to Shangguan Yunyi: "The city gate is closed. The streets are full of guards. We can't escape. You follow
I come!"
Shangguan Yunyi nodded and asked people to escort Chu Huan.
In an unknown small alley, Shangguan Yunyi looked at the dilapidated courtyard in front of him. He couldn't help but frown. He looked back and said coldly: "Chu Shaozheng, do you want me to live in a place like this?"
Chu Shaozheng stepped forward and said in a low voice: "These are extraordinary times, Mr. Shangguan, please be patient!"
Shangguan Yunyi bit his lip, took a deep breath, and made great determination before stepping into the dilapidated and dirty courtyard.
In the room, the walls were smoked black. At least there were simple tables, chairs and benches, which were better than the ruined temple. Shangguan Yunyi reluctantly sat down and immediately asked Chu Shaozheng: "Is Emperor Luo really leading troops to attack Li Guo?"
Already?"
Chu Shaozheng nodded, "I took my brothers out of the city to do errands and only found out about the news, so I hurried back, but I didn't expect that it was still a step too late!"
"Qu Yi, this bastard actually cheated me!" Shangguan Yunyi said bitterly. Thinking of the money he had accumulated for so many years of enduring humiliation and humiliation being wiped out, he felt out of breath.
He originally thought this was an opportunity to turn around, but he didn't expect it to be the place where he was buried. The only person he could rely on, Emperor Luo, betrayed him. From now on, in the vastness of the world, he would have nowhere to go!
"Bastard, bastard!" Shangguan Yunyi suddenly stabbed the dagger at the table in front of him. His slightly twisted face was as ferocious as a terrifying beast. His eyes were a little distracted and his mind was crazy.
Chu Shaozheng quickly hugged him from behind
He said, "Sir, please wake up, now we can only think of another way!"
Shangguan Yunyi was being held by Chu Shaozheng and happened to raise his eyes to see Chu Huan. He pushed Chu Shaozheng away, raised his dagger and headed towards Chu Huan, "I'm going to kill you, kill you!"
Chu Huan did not expect that Shangguan Yunyi would suddenly go crazy. At this moment, he was tied with ropes and his acupuncture points were tapped. He could not dodge at all. At this moment, the image of Yang Moer holding his daughter and smiling at him suddenly popped into his mind.
His eyes suddenly narrowed and he closed his eyes in despair.
Suddenly, a muffled sound sounded in front of him. He quickly opened his eyes and saw Chu Shaozheng's body slowly sliding down in front of him.
Seeing the dagger inserted into Chu Shaozheng's body, Shangguan Yunyi's crazy expression became a little dazed. Finally, he slowly regained his composure. He looked at the pale Chu Shaozheng in front of him and squatted down suddenly.
, asked sharply: "Why, why? Didn't you say you had forgotten him? Why did you..."
Chu Shaozheng held the dagger in front of him and whispered: "Master Shangguan, we are all lovers of temperament. You keep saying you hate Chu Yiqing, but have you ever really done anything to her? I hate our son.
The same goes for my feelings. I hate him, but I won’t just watch him die in front of me..."
"Are you crazy? Is it worth it? Look at this man. He watched you block the knife for him. Has he ever been grateful and moved? Chu Shaozheng, you idiot!" Shangguan Yunyi laughed.
As he laughed, lightning flashed outside the house, followed by heavy rain pouring down.
Chu Huan looked at Chu Shaozheng in shock. For a long time, he called Chu Shaozheng's name in a low voice, "Shaozheng..."
Young Master Chu was lying at Chu Huan's feet, smiling at him with a pale smile.
The news that Chu Huan was kidnapped by Shangguan Yunyi quickly spread back to the palace and the Chu Mansion. Yang Mo'er brought her daughter to the palace overnight to inquire about the news.
In the Qiankun Palace, Chu Yiqing comforted Yang Moer in a low voice, and asked the nanny to take Chu Qiang to play with Roufu.
Yang Moer's tears couldn't stop flowing down.
"It will be fine, you are rust-proof!" Chu Yiqing comforted in a low voice, and kept asking people to find out the news.
The rain outside is getting heavier and heavier.
In the Imperial Study Room, Li Huang and Prince Li Yi were also ready. Now they have dispatched the entire bodyguard army to search for Chu Huan's whereabouts in the city. I believe Shangguan Yunyi wants to rely on Chu Huan to escape, so he will not harm Chu Huan for the time being.
But when he thought of Shangguan Yunyi's madness, Li Huang had a bad feeling in his heart.
"Sir, there is news!" Tenglong strode in, knelt down and reported: "Someone saw something strange in a house in a small alley, and went to the Yamen to report the case. At this moment, Lei Yuan is leading people over!"
Li Huang nodded, "We must ensure the safety of King Chu!"
Tenglong responded quickly.
At this moment, in the courtyard of the small alley, Chu Shaozheng had simply bandaged it, but the wound on his stomach was still bleeding continuously.
"He will die if this continues. We need to call a doctor!" Chu Huan saw that Chu Shaozheng's face was getting paler and his mind was getting more and more unconscious, and he shouted to Shangguan Yunyi.
"Shut up, shut up. Why do you order this young master? Chu Huan, have you forgotten? Back then, you were just a concubine of the Duke Protector's Palace. When you saw this young master, you were like a puppy. Now, who do you think you are?"
What order do you give me?" Shangguan Yunyi swung his dagger around the room.
The four people following Chu Shaozheng were Chu Shaozheng's confidants. Seeing that he was unconscious now, they were also afraid that something would happen to Chu Shaozheng, so one of them persuaded him: "Master, I'm afraid Master Chu is really in trouble.
We can’t watch Master Chu die, why don’t we let my subordinates go buy ‘medicine’?”
"Buy medicine? What if you are exposed? Do you want to implicate us all to death?" Shangguan Yunyi pointed the dagger at the man and shouted.
The man and his companion looked at each other.
"I tell you that from now on, you must follow me, otherwise, you will never even think of returning to Luo Kingdom in your life!" Shangguan Yunyi shouted loudly.
Chu Huan said coldly: "Do you think you can go back? Emperor Luo sent you for peace talks just to make you a scapegoat so that he can take advantage of your property and use it as funds to attack Li Guo. Shangguan Yunyi, you are here
You’re still so naive now!”
"Shut up, shut up!" Shangguan Yunyi's dagger started slashing wildly again, and two people immediately stepped forward to hold him down.
Shangguan Yunyi's martial arts is good, but now he is in a hurry and is a little confused, so he can't resist for a while. Chu Huan takes advantage of this opportunity to quickly open the acupuncture points, break the rope, and pull him away.
Chu Shaozheng picked him up and rushed out of the room.
"Don't let him run away, don't let him run away!" Shangguan Yunyi said angrily. He threw away the two people holding him down and rushed out.
Chu Huan's acupuncture point had just been opened, his hands and feet were too stiff due to the binding, and Chu Shaozheng was carrying Chu Shaozheng on his back. He was soon caught up by Shangguan Yunyi, and he saw Shangguan Yunyi's dagger about to pierce his chest.
Throat, at this moment, a cold sword suddenly stabbed out, hitting Shangguan Yunyi right in the face.
Shangguan Yunyi couldn't dodge, and his face was suddenly cut with blood. He immediately covered his face, his eyes filled with horror.
His face, his most precious face, the face he is proud of in his life!
Lei Yuan took advantage of Shangguan Yunyi's distraction, pulled Chu Huan behind him, and ordered loudly: "Catch him alive!"
The guards rushed forward.
Shangguan Yunyi protected his face while retreating. He grabbed a person next to him as a shield and threw him in front of the guards.
The alley was too narrow, and the man suddenly blocked the guard's path. Shangguan Yunyi took the opportunity to climb up the wall and disappear.
"Sir, what should I do?" The leader of the guards came forward to ask for instructions.
"Leave one team to escort King Chu back to his home, while the other team continues the search. Remember, Shangguan Yunyi must be caught!" Lei Yuan ordered loudly.
The guards responded quickly and continued to chase him out in the pouring rain.
Chu Huan grabbed Lei Yuan's shoulders and said, "Lei Yuan, let's go to the Prince's Mansion first!"
He must save Chu Shaozheng!
At Lei County Prince's Mansion, Lei Lei looked at the dying Chu Shaozheng in front of him, clasped his hands in his arms, clicked his tongue twice, and shook his head, "It's hopeless, it's hopeless, my intestines are all out, how can I save him? Or take him out for funeral arrangements.
Come on, don’t dirty my place!”
Chu Huan grabbed Lei Lei and said: "I know you have a way, you must have a way. Lei Lei, our brothers for so many years, are you going to die without saving us?"
"You can't say this. If it were you, even if you ran out of energy, I would go to the King of Hell to pull you back, but he...don't forget, he is Shangguan Yunyi's man now, a lackey of the Luo Kingdom.
!" Thunder still refused to take action.
"Will you save me or not?" Chu Huan was anxious and picked up Lei Ting's collar.
"Hey, Chu Huan, you also know that this prince is a soft-spoken man, and I won't save him if you do this!" Lei Lei shouted loudly.
Lei Yuan hurriedly dealt with it, "Thing Lei, this man can't die, and we have to rely on him to find the whereabouts of Shangguan Yunyi. You hurry up and save him!"
Lei Lei sighed and looked at Lei Yuan, "Brother, do you think I won't save you even if I die? There is really no way to save him. Look at his lips!"
Lei Yuan and Chu Huan looked at Chu Shaozheng's lips. They didn't know when Chu Shaozheng's lips had turned jet black.
"Shangguan Yunyi's dagger was poisoned. Now the poison has attacked his heart and he has regained his strength. I am kind enough to lend him a wing. Chu Huan, if you have anything to say, please tell him as soon as possible!" Lei Lei sighed!
With this tone, people carried Chu Huan to the back room.
Chu Huan stiffened and quickly followed.
In the room, Mr. Chu opened his eyes, looked at Chu Huan, and suddenly smiled, "Young master... you won't blame me, I..."
"I don't blame you. I have never blamed you, Shaozheng. We will always be good brothers and good friends!" Chu Huan held Chu Shaozheng's hand tightly and said.
Chu Shaozheng let out a long sigh of relief, "I didn't realize until I left you that, even if I can't be with you, being by your side and watching you marry and have children is a blessing. It's a pity that it's beyond my wildest dreams.
There are too many, I shouldn’t have expected those things..."
"Shaozheng, stop talking, you will be fine, it will be fine!" Chu Huan whispered.
Chu Shaozheng shook his head, "I heard what the ghost doctor said just now... I know I'm hopeless... Young Master, I can't stay with you in the future... And Yuhua, I'm sorry for her..."
In fact, when he came back, he just wanted to say this to Mrs. Fang. Unfortunately, Mrs. Fang has been avoiding him. Maybe in this life, he will never hope to say this to Mrs. Fang!
"Haha!" Looking at the situation outside through the secret grid, Lei Lei laughed mischievously.
Lei Yuan frowned, "People are about to die, and you still laugh? Tell me, did you deliberately ignore death?"
"How many of the people who were sent to my Thunder Mansion were carried out alive? You don't even think about it. If they were injured by the same dagger, the poison on Chu Huan's body could be cured, but why couldn't the poison on Chu Shaozheng's body be cured?
Explanation? I just want to see the love between this man and the man. I didn’t expect it to be so touching. Hahaha, Chu Huan has the handle in my hand. Let’s see if he dares to show off in front of me in the future. Come on.
Ci Luo'er took a fancy to a bamboo dragonfly from his Qiang'er family. This guy is stingy.
"Very well, let Luoer chase Chu Qiang behind his back, making Luoer cry. Do you think he will dare to fight with Luoer with his daughter in the future?" Lei Lei raised the corners of his lips proudly.
Lei Yuan was stunned, and then he hit Lei Yuan on the head hard from behind: "How childish!"
Thunder laughed heartily.
Over there, Chu Shaozheng had passed out. Chu Huan thought Chu Shaozheng was dead and sat blankly in front of Chu Shaozheng's bed.
Because it rained heavily all night, Chu Yiqing and Yang Moer couldn't go out, so they waited for the next day to come. However, they didn't expect that as soon as they entered the door, they saw Chu Huan chasing Lei Lei, while Lei Yuan looked on.
lively.
"You can still perform Qing Gong. It seems you are ill!" Chu Yiqing said with a smile.
Yang Mo'er nodded and quickly pulled Chu Qiang forward.
When Chu Yiqing saw that Chu Huan was safe, he was ready to return to the palace. When he was going out, he happened to meet Chu Zhantian who had rushed to the prince's palace after hearing the news.
"Qing'er!" As soon as he saw Chu Yiqing, Chu Zhantian called out kindly, with a hopeful look on his face.
Chu Yiqing raised his eyes and glanced at Chu Zhantian. He hadn't seen him for several years and seemed to have aged a lot. Now Chu Zhantian has a calm demeanor and is no longer suspicious of other old people. He plants flowers at home every day, writes, and fades away.
After all that violence, he was no longer the protector he once was, who only pursued fame and fortune.
Chu Yiqing nodded lightly and walked past with lowered eyebrows.
Chu Zhantian sighed quietly and raised his legs forward.
"Please pay attention to your health!" Chu Yiqing whispered.
Chu Zhantian was stunned for a moment, his face became happy, and he nodded quickly, "Okay, okay!"
Chu Yiqing nodded towards Chu Zhantian and left the county prince's mansion.
Chu Zhantian stood at the door and watched until Chu Yiqing's carriage turned around and disappeared, then he entered the county prince's mansion.
In the carriage, Chu Yiqing gradually regained his composure.
Perhaps in this life, she and Chu Zhantian will always be in this state. Although Chu Zhantian's blood remains on her body, she can never get close to her in her heart.
The war has started for half a month, and because of the war, Chu Yiqing's birthday has been lost.
At this moment, in Yuncheng on the border of Luo and Li, Luo's army relied on its unpreparedness to attack and had an advantage at first. However, they did not expect that the steady retreat at the beginning was actually a trick of Hu Tu, the lord of Anding, to lure them to extend the front line.
, As a result, a large number of soldiers and food and grass were escorted to Yuncheng. Half a month later, the Luo Emperor Shang Yan's family suddenly cut off all food and grass supplies. The Luo army was suddenly isolated for reinforcements, and the morale of the army was suddenly in chaos.
!
At this moment, in the camp of the Luo ** team, Qu Yi was at a loss what to do when he saw Liu Guang walking in quickly.
"How is it? Has the food and grass arrived?" Qu Yi asked loudly.
A look of embarrassment appeared on Liuguang's face, "Your Majesty, I have searched all over Luocheng and can't find Yan Jiu. Moreover, all the shops of the Yan family are closed. Even Prince Rong's Mansion is empty."
, I couldn’t find anyone, it seems like it was planned for a long time!”
Qu Yi's eyes widened, "How is it possible, impossible, where did Prince Rong get the courage to actually... actually..."
Qu Yi couldn't take a breath and suddenly coughed violently.
"Your Majesty!" Liu Guang quickly stepped forward to support Qu Yi. Qu Yi lowered his eyes and saw blood flowing out of the veil covering his mouth. He quickly hid the veil behind him and tried his best to regain his composure, "Go again.
Look, the people are gone, but where can so much food and grass be transported to? Search the whole city for me, I don’t believe it, the huge Luo country has no food and grass for me to fight!"
Liu Guang looked a little embarrassed and said in a low voice: "Your Majesty, even if it is transported from Luocheng, it will be too late. The food and grass have been short for two days. Now the military morale is unstable. It will take at least two days for the food and grass to arrive.
Day, then..."
Before Liu Guang finished speaking, he heard drums beating loudly outside, and Li Jun had already begun to attack!
Qu Yi quickly walked out of the camp and climbed onto the barrier.
Under the barrier, the black and heavy army strode forward, and the sound of neat footsteps echoed through the wilderness on the black land under the dark clouds.
"Your Majesty, what should I do?" Liu Guang asked urgently.
"Meet the enemy!" Qu Yi bit his lip fiercely and spit out two words.
The battlefield is filled with all kinds of sounds: cries, screams, the sound of bones being chopped, the sound of groans caused by blood clots blocking the throat...blood falling like flowers...
Qu Yi rode a war horse and commanded the army to rush around, waving his sword vigorously. Although the sword in his hand was cold, it splashed
