In Jiankang City, there was also a thick layer of frost on the roof of Tianyang Palace.
Compared with the palaces of all the other princes in the Southern Dynasties, the palace of Tianyang King Qi Xuan is not small in scale. It is just because Qi Xuan was granted the title of prince in the previous dynasty. This palace has been built in the previous dynasty, so it is different from the newly built ones.
Compared with the palace, it looks a bit old-fashioned.
It’s just that new may not be as good as old.
Some things take time to taste.
The old-fashioned spirit of Tianyang Palace sometimes made some powerful people in the Southern Dynasties jealous.
For example, the famous flowers and trees planted in the courtyard, no matter how rare they are, even if they were carefully cared for and cared for after being transplanted for ten or eight years, they will never develop that unique wild charm.
Not to mention the little scenery built around these trees.
Just some moss-covered and bulrush-covered stones beside the pond. There is no comparison in charm between newly built stones and those that have been laid out for many years.
The two things Qi Xuan often carries and touches in her hands also have an ancient charm.
One of them is a small pumpkin-shaped teapot.
This teapot was made by an unknown craftsman from the previous dynasty. Although he was not famous, he only got it occasionally, but it was more practical and more exquisite than those made by famous craftsmen.
This teapot has been in his hands for more than 20 years and is as red as jade.
Another thing is a small jasper gourd.
The sound of gourd is the same as Fulu, which is popular in itself.
The material of this small jasper gourd itself is ordinary, but I didn't know what kind of elixir was contained in it before. However, this jasper is also impregnated with strange medicinal properties. When you touch it, your tentacles will feel warm, and a warm medicinal gas will continue to enter the bloodstream.
, which can prevent people from getting cold at all.
The small jasper gourd itself was an antique. When he got it, it was already thickly coated with pulp, and the surface looked like it was covered with a shiny crystal shell, but the color was not eye-catching and was extremely smooth.
In the early morning of winter, Tianyang King Qixuan would make a pot of good tea with this teapot directly in his courtyard, play with the gourd in his hands, and then have some breakfast. Ordinary people would not want to have breakfast in the open-air courtyard on this winter day.
, for fear of catching the wind and cold, but for him, with these two warm things, winter is more comfortable than summer.
The summer was too hot and the sun was too hot, so he had to hide in the shade of the house, but this winter was just a time for him to see the unusually beautiful scenery.
I just drank a pot of tea today and felt some warmth in the back of my head. Shachi, an old servant in the palace, trotted over and said, "There are guests outside the palace who want to see you."
"What important guests are there who don't wait for the host to finish their breakfast?"
Seeing Shachi panting but not looking anxious, Qi Xuan snorted slowly and coldly, "What's wrong with you today? You have to tell me whether I want to see this guest or not."
The old servant bowed and saluted, but there was a somewhat deceitful smile on his lips, and said: "I think this guest is just an ordinary guest, invisible, but this guest insists that you must see him, and he will be seen immediately.
See you soon, can’t wait for you to finish this breakfast.”
Qi Xuan didn't see the smile on his face. After hearing these words, Qi Xuan suddenly felt a little startled, and her brows slowly wrinkled, "Which guest is so arrogant?"
Shachi finally couldn't help it and laughed out loud, "My lord, your son has always been quite arrogant."
"I..."
Qi Xuan was stunned, then jumped up in the next moment, "Is my traitor back?"
Although he said he was a traitor, at this moment his heart was really filled with joy.
Although he had not forcibly objected to Qi Zhuji and Lin Yi mixing together before, after Lin Yi became the master of the sword pavilion, he actually knew very well that his son was really holding a brazier and playing with fire at any time.
As soon as the emperor's petition for rebellion came out, he even felt that it would be his turn soon after Lin Wangbei. If his luck was worse, he might never see this "treasonous son" again.
But I didn't expect that the wind would turn around very quickly, and the wind direction would suddenly change. The emperor imprisoned himself in the Jingyuan in the middle of the lake. Lin Yi instantly became the dominant figure of the party, and he had become the three giants supporting the Southern Dynasty with the Chen family and Wei Rui.
He guessed that Qi Zhuji would return to Jiankang soon, but he did not expect that he would come so quickly.
"Then what are you doing here? Why don't you welcome him in?" Looking at Shachi who smiled and said nothing, Qi Xuan yelled and cursed: "Since this guest is so arrogant, it's hard to live with him. By the way, let's ask him.
If you don’t have any after breakfast, please ask someone to prepare more and send them over.”
"Father."
Qi Zhuji appeared in front of him and bowed to him seriously.
Qi Xuan looked at his son, feeling familiar yet a little strange. He opened his mouth for a moment, but was speechless.
Except that his skin color became darker and his hair seemed to be dryer, he felt that Qi Zhuji's appearance had not changed much from before, but now Qi Zhuji no longer had the delicate appearance of a rich man, and was different from the frontier soldiers.
Like a general, he really has some iron-blooded and calm temperament.
In other words, even in her own home, facing her own father, Qi Zhuji now has a murderous aura that is difficult to describe in words.
Of course, it is not that he is hostile to the people in this house. In fact, he has been in the army for many years, accompanied by weapons and weapons, and this person cannot become mellow.
"Let's eat something together?"
Qi Xuan hesitated for a breath, then nodded on the stone bench next to her.
"good."
Qi Zhuji sat down and started to eat. At the same time, he said, "These days, no matter what people come to talk to you about, or what they want to do with you, including asking you to borrow something or doing anything convenient, even if you talk to them again,
You should ignore or agree to anyone you know well."
Qi Xuan watched his son sit down to eat, and then he felt slightly relaxed. But when he suddenly heard Qi Zhuji's words, his heartstrings tightened instantly, and he frowned and said, "What do you mean?
What do you want to do?"
"Taking away other people's jobs." Qi Zhuji took a piece of sweet cake and put it into his mouth, then stretched out his chopsticks and tapped the rim of a bowl in front of him. With a crisp sound, he continued: "Even if this rice bowl is actually
It doesn’t count as theirs, but they feel that this job has always been theirs, so they will naturally fight for it.”
Qi Xuan was slightly startled and did not respond for a moment.
"They will want to touch our people, so we will take this opportunity to rectify these people in Jiankang." Qi Zhuji said sarcastically: "We can take this opportunity to teach them that even if the emperor does not make the decision, many things
It’s not their turn to make the decision. If those people don’t listen, we can only kill the chickens to scare the monkeys and uproot them.”
"You actually want to clean up Jiankang completely..." Qi Xuan looked at his son in disbelief. It was hard for him to imagine that his son had grown to this extent.
"You have taught me since I was a child to take advantage of the situation. When you are gaining momentum like this, you have to be more ruthless and decisive." Qi Zhuji glanced at him, then looked at the sweet cake in the bowl, and said: "
Just like this sweet cake, it won't taste good when it gets cold and hard. When the opportunity comes, you have to seize it. Don't worry, these people are really weak compared to our Tie Ce Army." (To be continued)
