Chapter 117: Treacherous Schemes
Qin Ji didn't move.
The queen stepped forward and gently persuaded: "The emperor is angry, for those untouchables are not worth it." ”
The emperor was still angry, his face slowly turned red, and he kicked a few pieces to the side, "Call everyone to come over immediately!"
Father-in-law Liu hurried to do something.
When the others walked away, the emperor looked at the others in the pavilion, and his face softened, "Qin Aiqing, you go with me." Mrs. Qin, I bother you to talk to the queen for a while. ”
"Yes, Your Majesty. Yu Mingzhi replied softly.
The atmosphere in the pavilion did not improve because of the change in the emperor's face, there was a faint tension, even the queen, who was still laughing with the emperor just now, pursed her lips and did not speak.
"It's done. Painter Hong suddenly put down his pen, and his voice was relaxed and leisurely, not affected by the Northern Emergency in the slightest.
Therefore, the short three words seemed very abrupt, and everyone looked at him.
Painter Hong waved his hand and summoned the palace people to show them the portrait.
The emperor tried to pull up a smile, "Qin Aiqing, Mrs. Qin, come and see the handwriting of Master Hong." ”
Qin Ji and Yu Mingzhi came over to take a look, a pair of loving couples were vividly presented on the white paper, their expressions were just right, and more importantly, they were real, unlike the emperor's picture that also needed Hong Painter to skillfully show his heroism.
"How's it going?" the emperor was a little more interested.
Qin Ji said, "Excellent, thank you for the honor that the emperor gave to Weichen." ”
The emperor said: "It's good if you like it." Let's go, let's go to the Imperial Study. ”
"Yes. Qin Ji nodded to Yu Mingzhi before leaving. With a bit of comfort.
Yu Mingzhi bowed his head and continued to accompany the queen.
As soon as the two of them left, Painter Hong also packed up his precious pen and ink and left. The lotus heart platform was instantly deserted, and the queen asked the palace maid to rearrange the few things that the emperor had kicked over, and then brought new melons and fruits.
But the atmosphere can no longer return to the same relaxed and happy as before, the queen was preoccupied, couldn't help sighing a few times, and said to Yu Mingzhi: "You say, this is good, what is the matter." ”
Yu Mingzhi comforted softly: "Niangniang doesn't have to worry. The mob rebelled because of a moment of indignation. There is no sufficient grain and grass, no sophisticated weapons, and no military advisors who can give advice, so it can't be a climate. I can be arrogant now. But the trouble is sudden. And there is Yan Shilang as a hostage. As long as the imperial court sends a master to rescue Yan Shilang first. Sending troops and horses to encircle and suppress it, those mobs are not afraid. ”
The queen looked at her with a little surprise, this girl from a merchant background. can be so calm, like the people of Qinshe.
Every time we meet, we can always give her some surprise.
Probably once lived abroad, so the insight and bearing are not comparable to ordinary boudoir ladies.
It's really a match for the people of Qinshe.
She patted her hand, "The most distressing thing is that you and Qin Sheren just got married yesterday, and this kind of thing happened today." The emperor originally gave the Qin Sheren a few days of vacation, just so that you newlyweds would have time to get along, alas...... If you don't come early or late, at this time, how can people not be annoyed. ”
Yu Mingzhi said: "Although I am reluctant, but the people of Qin She eat the king's fortune and should be loyal to the king." And if the country is peaceful, the family can also be peaceful. ”
The queen nodded approvingly, "With Mrs. Qin's words, I am also much relieved." Come, try some of this pastry, it's freshly made by the Imperial Chef. ”
She pointed to a plate in the center of the low table, and the dough was made like a peony in full bloom.
Yu Mingzhi picked one up with chopsticks and took a small bite.
The entrance is soft and glutinous, with a hint of sweetness, and the inside is red bean filling.
The queen asked, "How?"
"It was delicious. Yu Mingzhi said.
The queen smiled and said, "It's delicious and ask the imperial chef to cook more for a while, and you can take it home and give it to the people of Qinshe to taste." Peony has a good meaning and is just right for your newlyweds. ”
Yu Mingzhi thanked him.
The queen also ate one, and then sent the female officials around her to the imperial study to find out the news.
After a long time, the female official returned, "The courtiers gathered in the imperial study, and after hearing the news, they were all indignant and were giving advice to the emperor." ”
The queen hurriedly asked, "Have you discussed a solution?"
The female official said: "The Qin Sheren have already proposed, saying that they will first send a master of the Great Inner to rescue Yan Shilang, and then the local government will gather soldiers and horses to encircle and suppress those mobs." The Qin Sheren said that the mob was brave and unscrupulous, and it was easiest to deal with, so there was no need to worry about the arrogance they could create. ”
The queen looked at Yu Mingzhi, "It is worthy of being husband and wife, and even the thoughts are the same." ”
Yu Mingzhi smiled faintly.
The female officer said again: "But Zhao Shangshuling does not agree with the opinion of the poultry house. ”
Yu Mingzhi frowned slightly, it was this person again.
The female official said: "Zhao Shangshuling thinks that this group of people can make such a big battle in a short period of time and hold the imperial court officials hostage, and there must be a high-ranking person behind his back, so he asked the emperor to appoint a general from the capital and lead the troops to support." ”
The queen scolded unhappily: "Everyone surnamed Zhao is divided." ”
Yu Mingzhi hurriedly asked, "What did the emperor say?"
The female official said: "The emperor wants to listen to the opinions of the Qin Sheren, but he was quarreled by Zhao Shangshuling, and he had a headache. ”
The queen sneered: "The surname Zhao is self-defeating." Let him quarrel, and Concubine Zhao's road in the harem will be more difficult in the future. You go to listen to the news again, and if there is a disturbance, come back immediately and report it. ”
Yu Mingzhi watched the female official walk away, and it was only a matter of time before he made a decision with the emperor's character, but Zhao Shangshuling still had to anger the emperor this time, and kept putting forward conflicting opinions, and this was done again and again, which couldn't help but make people think deeply about what he was thinking.
The queen leaned on the table, picked a few grapes and threw them into her mouth, and after the sour taste, she smiled slightly, "Let's wait and watch the show." ”
Yu Mingzhi smiled cooperatively.
The queen looked at the lotus bush and took a deep breath, "Speaking of which, when will you and Qin Sheren have a child?" Qin Sheren is not young, and the emperor and I have been looking forward to him getting married for a few years, when he was the prince's companion. He once wanted to promise him a family affair, but he politely refused. It turns out that this is a thousand times in the crowd looking for him......"
Yu Mingzhi didn't expect the queen to suddenly mention this matter, and said shyly: "Let it be......"
"Huh. The queen took her hand, "When you have children, when you are three or four years old, you will also come to study with my son." ”
The queen had deep intentions, and Yu Mingzhi nodded happily, "The queen doesn't dislike it, so it's naturally good." ”
"The emperor has found a lot of highly respected and knowledgeable gentlemen, and Baozhi can rest assured. ”
"Good. Yu Mingzhi responded. Do you have to think about these things at this time? It seems that although she doesn't have to worry about the affairs of the Qin Mansion. But there's a lot more to think about.
The two of them talked and laughed a few more words, and a figure came from the path in the distance, and when they got closer, they took a look. It turned out that the Qin She people had returned. But there was no trace of the emperor by his side.
and others went to the lotus heart platform. The queen opened her mouth and asked, "Qin Sheren, where is the emperor?"
Qin Ji said: "The emperor is still in the imperial study, and the other courtiers have already retreated. ”
The queen frowned. Then he asked, "Have you decided the matter?"
Qin Ji said: "Yes, the emperor has sent a master of Ouchi, and now he has set off to the north to rescue Yan Shilang." ”
The queen breathed a sigh of relief and nodded, "That's good, I didn't let Zhao Zhong's treacherous plan succeed." Regardless of whether Zhao Zhong's proposal is good or bad, in her opinion, it is a treacherous scheme.
Qin Ji arched his hand, "Queen Mother, if there is no order from the side, Weichen wants to take Neizi to retire." ”
The queen waved her hand, "Okay, don't disturb your newlywed Yan'er." ”
Yu Mingzhi got up, saluted with Qin Ji, and then withdrew from the Lotus Heart Terrace.
There was still nothing to say on the way out of the palace, and after waiting for the carriage and the two getting tired of being together again, Yu Mingzhi asked, "Zhao Zhong is too abnormal, what does he want to do?"
"yes. Qin Ji sighed, "But at present, it is not difficult to guess his calculations in this matter." ”
"Hmm......" Yu Mingzhi nodded, rubbing Qin Ji's chest, "The general sent out must be his henchman, after going to the north, he suppressed the mob and regained the lost territory, but Yan Shilang will definitely die 'accidentally' at the hands of the mob." Moreover, he will promote the wisdom and martial arts of King Yi in the north, buy the hearts of the people, and finally return to the capital, I am afraid that the military power will not be returned so easily. ”
Qin Ji nodded, "That's right." ”
Yu Mingzhi pondered for a while, and said softly: "Could it be that King Yi has everything ready, and only owes Dongfeng? Otherwise, why has he become so bold recently?"
Qin Ji said: "Since the incident in the paddock, there have always been people staring at the Yiwang faction, and there is no abnormality, it stands to reason that during this time, it is impossible to make any preparations." So...... Are they going to fight to send troops and horses from the capital?"
Yu Mingzhi said: "What does the emperor think?"
"The emperor still remembered it. Qin Ji said: "I plan to continue to take a look." ”
He hugged Yu Mingzhi tightly and pecked her on the forehead a few times, "The decision on this matter will not change now, so don't worry for the time being, let's go home and live our little life." ”
The wheels spun around and galloped down the street.
Yu Mingzhi listened to the lively shouting outside, "Let's keep an eye on the people on King Yi's side, I always have a bad premonition." ”
Qin Ji responded with a "yes": "By the way, there is a small shop selling steamed buns on this street, and the meat buns and plum vegetable meat buns they make are particularly delicious, Gu Shilang recommended me to try them, do you want to give them a try......?" Just turn left at the junction ahead. ”
"Okay. Yu Mingzhi knew that he didn't want to worry about it too much, so he nodded.
Qin Ji gave the coachman an order, and when he arrived at the intersection, he turned the front of the car and came to a small bun shop.
In the steamer that had just been uncovered, bursts of heat came out, with the fragrance of steamed buns, blocking people's vision. As soon as Yu Mingzhi smelled this, he was greedy.
Qin Ji asked her to wait in the car and go down to buy it herself.
After leaving the palace gate, the wooden plate with the word "Qin" on their carriage was taken off, so pedestrians did not know whether he was the famous Qin Ji or walking on the street as usual.
"Guest officer, please wait!" The shopkeeper picked up a cleaned lotus leaf, skillfully picked up a few buns with a bamboo clip and put them on the leaf surface, his wife took it, bandaged it neatly and handed it to Qin Ji, and then collected the money.
"Yo, it's really strange that the people of Qin She actually like to eat such crude things?"
A yin and yang voice sounded.
Yu Mingzhi heard the movement, lifted the curtain slightly, and looked over.
It was a young man of about seventeen or eighteen years old, dressed in a dark green round-necked robe, dressed quite plainly, but his expression was as arrogant and domineering as that of a gentleman.
And his face is somewhat familiar.
Yu Mingzhi listened quietly.
"Doesn't Fu Gongzi like it too?" Qin Ji asked with a smile.
Although he was laughing, he was actually cold and oppressive.
Fu Gongzi smiled coldly, asked the entourage to take the bun, and then glanced at the Qin family's carriage, "Qin Sheren is taking Madame out for a stroll? Why don't you let people see Madame Zun's appearance? Obviously, he was still swaggering in Beijing yesterday." ”
When the people in front of the bun shop heard that this kind and gentle young man was actually from Qin She, they immediately hid far away and looked at him in fear. The owner of the bun shop shook his hand, and the fragrant bun fell to the ground, and he was just about to lean over to pick it up, but his wife pulled him to the back fiercely.
Fu Gongzi smiled again: "The people of Qin She are amazing, look at these innocent people, don't worry, with me, he Qin She people don't dare to lose their temper." ”
"Yes, Fu Gongzi is kind and righteous, and he will not do anything to kidnap the women of good families. Qin Ji still had a faint smile, "After all, the person who did such a thing is not as good as a pig or a dog, and it is impossible for him to be a young talent like Fu Gongzi." ”
Fu Gongzi's face changed suddenly, and he shouted loudly: "Why don't Mrs. Qin get out of the car and ask everyone to take a look? Yesterday, many people on the street received the favor of the Qin family, and they all wanted to thank Mrs. Qin." ”
However, no one on the street should say anything to him -- who would dare to provoke the Qin Sheren? Yesterday's wedding was an exception, and since it was an exception, it meant that it had to be like it was on weekdays.
Fu Gongzi didn't feel embarrassed, but walked to the wheel and bowed his hand respectfully, "Hello Mrs. Qin, under Fu Minghui, my father is always waiting for Fu Dingyao." ”
Yu Mingzhi narrowed his eyes and remained silent.
Mrs. Fu has seen her, and this Fu Gongzi has also seen her.
Qin Ji stepped forward and stood in front of him, "It's probably not convenient to ask Fu Gongzi and Neiko to meet today, after all, I'm a little worried...... What about Uchiko's reputation and safety. ”
Fu Gongzi glared, "Qin Ji, what do you mean?!"
Hearing him call his name, he knew that he was angry, and Qin Ji smiled even deeper, "Don't you understand, Gongzi Fu? What you did the day before yesterday has already spread, didn't Fu Changshi teach you what to do?" ”
Fu Gongzi gritted his teeth, suppressed his anger, and said in a low voice: "Qin Ji, you are talking nonsense! Be careful I tell my father, so that you can't eat and walk around." ”
"Oh?" Qin Ji was still calm, and smiled calmly: "It seems that Fu Gongzi has the intention to make a big deal about it, so Qin will naturally accompany him to the end, but that incident will inevitably make a bigger fuss, and Fu Gongzi must also be mentally prepared." ”
"You!" Fu Gongzi's anger could no longer be suppressed, and he clenched his fists and waved over. (To be continued.) )
