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.
Hua Lin did not expect that the first person she saw when she came back from the Border Guard for two years was Ling Dang. She was stunned at the time. It took her a long time to realize and stepped 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. You 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 already. 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 at you, just pretend I didn't say anything and you just pretend you don't 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 for me, 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, talking about what he had seen and heard outside in the past two years, and about meeting Lingdang in Yucheng, and presented a birthday gift 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 had been in the palace for decades, so she naturally knew the purpose of the Queen Mother of the Holy Ancestor. Women who had always entered the palace could only leave the palace unless they were 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 my 'milk', 'milk', she wants me to thank you properly!" 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!"
Concubine Qing nodded, grabbed Chu Yiqing's hand again, and talked for a long time. She was very excited when she heard that Mrs. Huangfu and her family had now settled in the capital. She quickly sent someone to pick them 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.
"It is a specialty spice from Luo Country. 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 Luo Country, and the natural taste is not as long-lasting as those from Luo Country!" Lin, pseudonym: Lin
Shangguan Yunyi 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: "Go and take a look in front to see if the emperor has gone to court? If he has gone to court, then
Please come to your Majesty!"
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 raised his eyes and looked 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,
I would not do those things just because I wanted to get Shangguan Yu, and this would definitely not be the end of 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.
Abao looked at Yan Wan's smiling face and felt 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!
