Wang Jizhi was so frightened that cold sweat broke out on his forehead: "Your Majesty, what I said is the true impression in my heart. I have never had any contact with Hu Xiaotian before, and I will not take any advantage from him. There will be no half-point."
Favoritism.”
Long Xuanjiao sneered and said, "Why are you nervous? The Aijia are just joking with you. Who are you? The Aijia still don't know who you are?" But in his heart, he secretly thought that this Wang Jiezhi is just a man who loves money.
Guy, maybe he really got benefits from Hu Xiaotian, otherwise he wouldn't praise him in front of her. Moreover, he had just met Hu Xiaotian in the morning, so he came over in a hurry to report to her, and even sent a message to Hu Xiaotian to see her. She pondered
After a while, he said: "The Ai family would like to meet him, but at this time, princes and nobles from all over the world are coming, and there are too many people who want to meet with the Ai family. If the Ai family sets this precedent, we can't favor one over the other. Forget it.
, it’s better to disappear for the time being, treat everyone equally, and save others from gossiping.”
Wang Qie said straightly: "The Queen Mother is a saint!"
Not long after Wang Qizhi left, Tianxiang King Yang Longjing arrived. Judging from the gloomy expression on his face, he must not be in a good mood. He strode to the Mingde Hall, frowned and said to
The people in the surrounding palace said: "You all go out, I have something to say to my mother alone."
A group of palace people all turned their attention to Long Xuanjiao, and they did not retreat until Long Xuanjiao waved his hands.
Long Xuanjiao smiled and said: "Why are you free to come here today, Your Majesty? Didn't you go to Yancheng to hunt, and you were not supposed to come back until the day after tomorrow?".
Yang Longjing said: "Piaoxiang City is so lively, so of course I want to come back and see it."
Long Xuanjiao was keenly aware that something was wrong with his mood. She smiled slightly, stood up and came to his side, stretched out her hands to grab his hands, and looked at his face. She said with some distress: "It's only been a few days, you've been black."
Lost weight too!”
Yang Longjing said: "Didn't the queen often say that children are used to being pampered and should be trained more and bear more responsibilities?".
Long Xuanjiao smiled and said, "Are you kid angry with the Ai family?"
Yang Longjing said: "Mother, I don't understand. Why do you have to carry out this matter of recruiting a prince-in-law with great fanfare? Have you ever asked Miss Yingyue what she thinks in her heart?"
Long Xuanjiao smiled and said: "She is the goddaughter of the Ai family. How can the Ai family harm her? It is precisely because the Ai family treats her as their own daughter that they spend so much energy to help her choose a son-in-law. The same goes for the Ai family.
For the sake of her future happiness, if she can find a suitable husband, it will be regarded as fulfilling her wish."
Yang Longjing said: "Why does the queen mother think that the prince-in-law she helped her choose must be in line with her wishes, and that she will be happy after getting married?"
Long Xuanjiao said: "You don't need to worry about it. You should focus more on national affairs."
Yang Longjing bit his lip and seemed to have finally made up his mind. He whispered: "Mother, you clearly know what I want, why don't you agree with me?"
The smile on Long Xuanjiao's face gradually faded, she let go of her son's arm, turned around and walked towards the bench.
Yang Longjing yelled: "You clearly know that the child likes her..."
Long Xuanjiao suddenly turned around and said angrily: "Don't forget your identity, you are the king of Tianxiang Kingdom!"
Yang Longjing said: "My child, I don't want to be a king at all! It's you who forced me to sit in this position. I don't like to deal with any major national affairs. I don't like this feeling of being aloof and alone. I don't ask for rich clothes and food. I don't ask for anything.
With a high position and great authority, all I want is to spend the rest of my life with the person I love in an ordinary way!"
Long Xuanjiao's eyes widened: "Shut up!"
Yang Longjing was so frightened that he trembled, and then he mustered up the courage to look directly at his mother. This was the first time in his life. He said loudly: "Tell me, why can't Yingyue and I be together?"
Long Xuanjiao's chest kept heaving with anger. She pointed at Yang Longjing with trembling fingers: "There is no reason, no why, you...you have disappointed the Ai family so much!" Long Xuanjiao suddenly softened and fell limply to the ground.
After falling down, Yang Longjing saw the scene in front of him and hurriedly stepped forward to hug his mother. He shouted: "Someone is coming! Someone is coming quickly!"
Eunuch Zhou Desheng hurried in and was shocked when he saw the scene in front of him. He hurriedly said: "Your Majesty, I will go and get a doctor right now."
Long Xuanjiao waved her hands feebly and said: "Forget it, no need to make a fuss."
Yang Longjing felt a little regretful when he saw his mother being so angry with him, and said with concern: "Mother, I'd better ask the imperial doctor to take a look..."
Long Xuanjiao suddenly said sharply: "The Aijia said no!"
Yang Longjing looked extremely embarrassed when she scolded him in front of the eunuch.
Long Xuanjiao sighed and said, "Your Majesty, it's better to go back and rest. Zhou Desheng, help the Ai family go in and rest."
"yes!"
Although Yang Longjing was reluctant, seeing that his mother could not disobey her even when she was angry, he silently left the Mingzheng Palace.
Long Xuanjiao returned to the bench and sat down, took a cup of hot tea from Zhou Desheng, took a sip, and finally released the breath that accumulated in her chest.
Zhou Desheng asked cautiously: "Is the Queen Mother feeling better?".
Long Xuanjiao said: "It's better, Zhou Desheng, is there any news from Husband Lan?"
Zhou Desheng said respectfully: "To inform the Queen Mother, Mr. Lan will return to Piaoxiang City during the Mid-Autumn Festival."
Long Xuanjiao suddenly felt a little sad in her heart. She had a lot to say to someone, but when she needed to talk to her most, he was not by her side.
Zhou Desheng said: "Queen Mother, in the past two days, princes and nobles from all over the world have come one after another. They all want to see the Queen Mother."
Long Xuanjiao said: "It's great to have friends from far away. They are guests when they come from far away. We have invited them here, and we must not make any mistakes in etiquette. Go and invite Prince Fu."
Zhou Desheng thought he heard wrongly: "His Royal Highness Prince Fu?"
Long Xuanjiao said: "Yes, the king is not in a good mood. If he is asked to greet the guests from all parties, I am afraid something will go wrong. It is better to let Prince Fu handle these matters. Just say it is the king's wish."
"yes!"
Long Xuanjiao added: "Let people keep an eye on him. Once they find out that he has a close relationship with someone, they will immediately report it to the Ai family."
Zhou Desheng understood, nodded and said: "Don't worry, Queen Mother, I will definitely do a good job in this matter."
When Hu Xiaotian returned to Cuiyuan, someone was already waiting for him, but it was Zhu Ba, a disciple of the Beggar Clan whom he had not seen for a long time. When Hu Xiaotian arrived in Dongliang County, fortunately, Zhu Ba led two thousand Beggar Clan disciples to come to help, and he was relieved.
The urgent need laid a solid foundation for his future self-reliance. Since Hu Xiaotian established a foothold in the Yongjiang River Basin, Zhu Ba also led his two thousand beggars to leave quietly. Since then, he has no contact with Hu Xiaotian. Today in Tianxiang Kingdom
It was also a great joy to meet again.
Hu Xiaotian hurriedly invited Zhu Ba into the flower hall to talk. He smiled and said: "When did husband Zhu come here? How did you know that I live here?" He secretly wondered in his heart, could Zhu Ba be under forty? Taking advantage of this time
Are you here to join in the fun when Tianxiang Kingdom chooses a consort?
Zhu Ba smiled and said, "There are disciples of the Beggar Clan all over the world. It's not easy to find just one of them. What's more, the master didn't hide his whereabouts on purpose." He took the fragrant tea from the servant, took a sip and said, "No.
To hide it from Master Hu, the head of the Beggar Clan is in Tianxiang Kingdom."
Hu Xiaotian didn't know anything about this. He originally thought that the Beggar Gang was the largest gang in the Central Plains, and the helm was naturally in the Central Plains. In the traditional concept, Tianxiang Kingdom did not belong to the Central Plains. Hu Xiaotian said: "So
Come on, I need to go to your headquarters when I have the opportunity to pay a visit to your gang leader and express my gratitude." No matter what the reasons were for the Beggars Gang to send people to help him in the first place, he still owes the Beggars Gang a big favor.
It is an indisputable fact. If you have the opportunity, you should go to the head of the Beggar Clan to express your gratitude in person. Moreover, Hu Xiaotian always believed that his grandfather Xu Lingkong was the leader of the Beggar Clan. He also had too many mysteries in his heart and wanted to see the old man and ask him to help explain.
.
Zhu Ba smiled and said: "If there is a chance, our Shangguan gang leader also came to Tianxiang Kingdom and made a special trip to accompany the young gang leader to participate in the selection of the consort."
Hu Xiaotian couldn't help but be startled. Zhu Ba's words were like telling him clearly that the leader of the Beggar Clan was not his grandfather. How old was Xu Lingkong? How could he join in the fun? Even if he was willing to join in, he wouldn't meet the conditions.
That is to say, there is another gang leader, so why is there still a young gang leader?
Zhu Ba saw Hu Xiaotian's confusion and said softly: "The leader of the Shangguan Gang was just elected at the beginning of the year. It's not surprising that the young master doesn't know."
Hu Xiaotian was not interested in who the current leader of the Beggar Clan was. What he really met was his grandfather. He slowly placed the tea cup in his hand on the coffee table and whispered: "Is the old man here?".
Of course Zhu Ba knew who the old man Hu Xiaotian was talking about. He smiled and said, "I haven't seen him for a long time, but he asked someone to send you a message."
Hu Xiaotian nodded.
Zhu Badao: "The old man wants you to help our young gang leader become the prince-in-law of Tianxiang Kingdom."
Hu Xiaotian blinked his eyes, almost thinking that he heard wrongly. Wasn't this tantamount to asking him to give Long Xiyue away? Grandpa must not be aware of the relationship between him and Long Xiyue, otherwise how could he let himself give up on his own initiative?
Zhu Badao: "Actually, the real intention of Tianxiang Kingdom's selection of a prince-in-law this time is to find an ally. Tianxiang Kingdom is of great significance to the development of the Beggar Gang. I hope the young master can help." Zhu Ba's real intention is not to let Hu
What can Xiao Tianzhen do to help? As long as he does not participate in this prince-consort battle, it means that he has lost a powerful opponent. The chief helmsman of the Beggar Clan is now in the Tianxiang Kingdom. It can be said that if the young gang leader can become the prince-son-in-law of the Tianxiang Kingdom, it will mean that he has lost a powerful opponent.
It paves the way for the future development of the Beggar Clan.
Hu Xiaotian laughed, and Zhu Ba laughed too when he saw him laughing.
Hu Xiaotian then shook his head and said: "I can't agree to this matter. I am determined to win the consort of Tianxiang Kingdom!" There is no need for him to hide this matter. The woman he loves must never let it go. (To be continued.)
