Chapter Seventy-Four: Ridicule
Mei Lanting, the second son, Qi Lei, unrestrainedly held the delicate body of a beautiful woman and put his hands on it.
Just when you and I were forgetting ourselves, the little guy Qi Liu stepped forward to disturb him.
Qi Lei was full of anger, his eyes were sharp and glared at Qi Liu, and he said angrily: "If there is nothing important to report today, which disturbs the interest of my son, be careful that I pick your skin." β
Qi Liucheng knelt down in fear and begged for mercy, "The second son forgives the sin, yes, it is the prince who invited you over." β
Qi Lei was stunned, and casually picked up the clothes that fell on the ground and put them on.
"What is he looking for me for?"
Qi Liu raised his head slightly, and said with a flattering smile: "I heard from the messenger that the prince feels that he has not eaten with the second prince for a long time, so please go over and have dinner together." β
The corners of Qi Lei's mouth rose, revealing a touch of playfulness.
"It's a strange thing that my brother invited me to dinner. β
After speaking, he didn't look at the beauty on the bed, and turned around mercilessly and walked towards the place where Qi Xun lived.
Qi Xun didn't wait long before Qi Lei came over, nodded at him, and motioned for him to sit opposite.
Qi Lei saluted and sat down.
Looking down at the six dishes and one soup on the table, and a jar of wine.
The jar is unopened, but you can still faintly smell the aroma of the wine, and just by smelling the aroma, you can know that the quality of this wine is absolutely superior.
"Good wine. β
Qi Xun smiled, waved away the servant, patted the seal of the wine jar with his own hands, poured it for Qi Lei first, and then himself.
"I got this wine a few years ago, and I have been reluctant to drink it, if you like it, you will bring a jar back and drink it slowly. β
"Thank you, big brother, my brother didn't come to me today for drinking. Qi Lei laughed and asked straight to the point.
Qi Xun made a movement in his hand, the smile on his face disappeared, and he looked up at Qi Lei calmly.
"I should ask you this, right?"
The smile on the corner of Qi Lei's mouth froze, and in an instant, he smiled again, and his right hand on his lap couldn't help but clench, and he looked back at Qi Xun with fear on his face.
"I don't understand what Big Brother means?"
Out of the corner of Qi Xun's eye, he caught a glimpse of the small movements under Qi Lei's table, and he didn't break it, pretending not to see it, and took the wine glass and drank it all in one gulp.
"Xi'er came to me today, she asked me if I was not happy because of the emperor's marriage, I said no, do you guess she asked me another question?"
Wizardy shook his head with a smile.
"Big brother said laughing, me, how do I know what question she asked?"
Seeing his evasive attitude, Qi Xun sneered.
"She said that the emperor was not worried about me, so he sent Princess Leyang to marry me, in fact, to spy on me. That girl is simple, she only thinks about things simply, and she doesn't speculate about the people behind her at all, if no one specifically tells herΒ·Β·Β·Β·Β·Β·"
Speaking of this, Qi Xun paused.
Qi Lei fidgeted and drank with a wine glass to hide his weakness.
Qi Xun stared at Qi Lei with a smile, and he didn't break it, and followed him to pick up the wine glass and drink it dry.
The two drank a few glasses silently, but in the end, Qi Lei couldn't bear it.
"Yes, I told her that the eldest brother wants to kill and scrape. β
Qi Lei pushed his wine glass and stood up.
Qi Xun looked at Qi Lei, who was faintly angry, and said with a smile: "Why did I kill you, you told Xi'er these words, didn't you hint at me and let me find you, now that I am as you wish, why do you regret it?"
Qi Lei's eyes flickered, and finally gritted his teeth, sat back on the stool, picked up the wine jar, and poured himself three glasses in a row before he stopped, staring at Qi Xun fiercely.
"I know that because of my mother's identity, you don't like us, and you are guarding against our mother and son, but don't forget that my surname is also Qi, and the Guogong lying in the main courtyard is also my biological father, and the blood flowing in you and I is the same. β
Speaking of this, Qi Lei's eyes were moist, but he stubbornly didn't let the tears flow.
"What my mother did wrong, I will pay it back for her, I just beg you to give me a chance to prove myself. β
Qi Xun was shocked, stared into Qi Lei's eyes, and was silent for a long time.
After this night, the two brothers seemed to have forgotten the conversation of that night, and they still did not like it, but the keen person could still smell a different smell from it.
Ten days later, Zhao Li returned to the Guogong Mansion, accompanied by Master Huizhi.
Qi Xun heard that Master Huizhi was coming, and a wicked smile appeared on his handsome face.
In the palace, the queen is dealing with the dowry of Princess Leyang, and there is an ornament that she can't decide, so she drives the Fushou Palace and asks the queen mother to decide.
As soon as I entered the Queen Mother's dormitory, I heard the hearty laughter of the Queen Mother inside.
The queen was strange, and when she walked in, it turned out to be Princess Leyang, and Su Guifei, as well as Han Ji, who was newly promoted to Han Jieyu, and other three people told jokes to the queen mother.
"The concubine visited the queen mother. β
The Queen Mother looked up and saw that it was the queen, smiled and beckoned to her, and patted the vacant seat beside her.
"You're here, come and sit. β
The queen looked at Su Guifei who was sitting below, her willow eyebrows were frivolous, and the corners of her mouth showed a touch of sarcasm, and then she walked past her with a smile on her face and sat next to the queen mother.
The queen's ridicule naturally made Concubine Su angry, but after all, she was a person from the city, pretending to ignore the queen, and smiled at Han Ji and asked for warmth.
This time it was the queen's turn to be dissatisfied, and glared at Han Ji coldly.
Han Ji was caught in the middle, very uncomfortable, dealing with Su Guifei in a vain and aggrieved manner, and pleading guilty to the queen in the past.
The two of them secretly swords, naturally can't hide it from the Queen Mother, but she doesn't want to participate in it.
"Queen, what are you doing to find the mourning family?"
The queen pretended to be dissatisfied, covered her mouth and chuckled: "Look at what the queen mother said, there must be something wrong with the concubines?"
The Queen Mother scolded with a smile: "What kind of fancy intestines do you have in your stomach, the mourning family will not know, let's say, give the mourning family less poor mouth." β
The queen smiled ambiguously at Princess Leyang.
"Sure enough, it's still the queen mother, this is not Leyang's girl's dowry, there is a screen trick concubine can't make up her mind, I came to discuss with the queen mother, it just so happens that Leyang is also there, you come to see which of these two screen patterns do you like?"
When Leyang heard that it was her dowry, her face turned red, and she didn't dare to look at the queen and the queen mother shyly.
"The royal sister-in-law and the queen mother just need to make a decision. With that, the little foot stomped away.
It caused several people in the hall to laugh.
Laughing here, the emperor over there frowned, holding Qi Xun's music in his hand, faintly hearing the sound of bones crunching, his eyes flashed with anger, which made people can't help but be afraid.
"Drive Fushou Palace. β
Coldly dropped this sentence, strode away, and followed by Gonggong Gui tremblingly.
Princess Yueyang exhaled deeply, patted her hot cheeks, calmed herself, and saw the imperial brother enter the queen mother's bedroom from a distance, hesitated, still didn't dare to go back, and turned to leave.
The Queen Mother looked at Emperor Chu with anger on her face in surprise.
