Chapter 47: King Yi
By the time Shen arrived, the sun was in the west, and the sky was gradually getting darker, so Qin Ji took Yu Mingzhi back.
After entering the city, they did not run on the streets anymore, but were led by Qin Ji and walked slowly through the streets. The people still scrambled to the sides, not daring to block his way.
I didn't feel anything in the carriage before, but now I feel strange when I ride on a horse, condescendingly.
"Let's stop being like that, right?" Yu Mingzhi said hesitantly.
Qin Jitou said without replying: "Then I can only ride with Zhizhi." β
"......" Yu Mingzhi saw that Qin Ji did it on purpose, and asked her to personally agree to him on the horse.
A mother and son timidly ran over from the horse, the child ran too fast, tripped over the stone and fell to the ground, crying in pain, attracting many eyes, no matter how much his mother tried to persuade him, to no avail.
Qin Ji ignored it, Yu Mingzhi pulled the reins and handed over a bag of candied fruit.
She bought it when she first entered the city. In the past, when my father came to the capital with his debriefing, he always had to buy a bunch of candied fruits in that shop, and he would never get tired of eating all the way from the capital to Xiangzhou.
Qin Ji glanced at her, calmly took the candied fruit, and slowly walked to the crying boy.
The boy's mother sat on the ground in fright, looked at the person who was close to her in horror, and stammered, "Yes, I'm sorry...... We ......"
Qin Ji raised his hand to signal her not to speak, and then stuffed the candied fruit to the boy with an expressionless face.
Through the paper, the boy didn't know what was in it, and threw it out crying.
Qin Ji reacted in time, caught the candied fruit before it landed, his face turned slightly cloudy, and when he looked at Yu Mingzhi, he saw the hat swaying up and down a few times, obviously realizing that he must give the candied fruit to the boy.
He shook his head helplessly, suppressed a trace of anger in his heart, opened the paper bag, revealed the plums inside, and sent them under the boy's nose.
The boy stopped crying immediately, blinked with teary eyes, stared at the plum and licked his lips.
"Eat." It seems that this time it will finally not be thrown out, Qin Ji grabbed the boy's hand, forced the paper bag into his hand, and then turned around and left.
The boy's mother was stunned. The boy took the opportunity to bite a plum, eat happily, and let out a cheerful laugh.
Qin Ji glanced sideways slightly, and said to Yu Mingzhi, "You are quite good at coaxing children." β
Yu Mingzhi said: "I also used this to coax my sister who cried endlessly. β
Qin Ji said: "It's really good, in the future, our children will only laugh, and there will be no time to cry." β
"......" Yu Mingzhi glared at him, but probably the white yarn hung down, separated by a layer, and the power of his gaze was not enough to show it, Qin Ji didn't seem to notice it at all, and continued to hold the reins and walk forward leisurely.
Before he had gone a few steps, there appeared at the intersection of the road a magnificent carriage drawn by two snow-white horses, the car was spotlessly cleaned, the curtains were fine flower satin, and the roof was decorated with the flowers that bloomed at this time, and with the crisp sound of bells, it walked straight to their side.
Qin Ji lowered his eyes, intending to pretend that he didn't know, but the person in the carriage stopped him.
"Qin Sheren, good Yaxing." The curtain was lifted, revealing a white face, dignified appearance, and neatly trimmed beard, which made the temperament elegant and gentle, but then a meaningful smile rose at the corner of his mouth, which made Yu Mingzhi, who was silently observing, feel uncomfortable.
Qin Ji clasped his fists with both hands, bent down and saluted, "Xia Guan has seen King Yi." β
He's the King of Yi?! Yu Mingzhi squinted his eyes and couldn't help frowning when he saw two disheveled and beautiful women laughing in the carriage behind King Yi.
"The lower officials don't dare to disturb His Highness's Yaxing, so they will retire." Qin Ji's tone was cold, but he was thoughtful, and he took two steps back to leave with Yu Mingzhi.
King Keyi obviously didn't want him to leave so soon, and called out loudly: "I didn't expect this king to be so lucky to see that the people of Qin She are kind to the common people. It seems that the person who wants to marry is different, and knows how to love people. β
Qin Ji clasped his hands in front of him, pinched the Buddha beads on his wrist lightly and slowly, and said with a smile: "The lower officials are in the court, and they share their worries for the emperor, so they should naturally take care of the people." His Royal Highness lives in a simple place and ignores mundane matters, so he naturally does not understand the painstaking efforts of the lower officials. β
"Hahaha-" King Yi touched his beard and turned his gaze to the person on the horse, "I wonder if this king is lucky to see Qin Sheren's fiancΓ©e again?" Now that the folk customs are open, there are few young ladies wearing hats on the street, what kind of flower and moon appearance should it be? β
Even through the white veil, Yu Mingzhi didn't dare to act rashly, and his hands were tightly holding the saddle tightly when he was covered by his sleeves.
Qin Ji directly refused: "On the street, it's inconvenient." β
King Yi didn't get angry, but continued to stroke his beard with a smile, "Qin Sheren really treasures his fiancΓ©e." β
A young man in blue sitting on the wheel of the car cautiously said to King Yi: "Lord Wang, it's not too early, you have to arrive before dark." β
"Tan Tai, Tan Tai, why didn't you come to pick up this king earlier, so that I can't talk to the Qin Sheren at this moment. To know the opportunity to meet the Qin Sheren, but it is very, very difficult. King Yi was extremely regretful, and turned around and asked the beauty in the car to pour two glasses of wine, one of which was handed over to Qin Ji by Tan Tai.
When Qin Ji took the wine glass, he smiled at Tan Tai.
Tan Tai had a brief look of surprise on his face, he couldn't understand why Qin Ji was smiling at himself, and the smile was terrifying.
King Yi raised his glass, "This king is here to congratulate the people of Qin She on their marriage." With that, he raised his head and drank it all.
Qin Ji turned his wrist, and all the wine in the cup was sprinkled on the ground.
King Yi was stunned.
Tan Taihu pretended to be a tiger and shouted: "Qin Sheren, how can you treat the prince's kindness like this? β
Qin Ji said: "Thank you Lord Wang, it's a pity that Xiaguan hasn't been drinking recently, so this cup is dedicated to my father and mother in Huangquan." β
What is the reason for this? Tan Tai expressed his dissatisfaction again, and was pressed on the shoulder by King Yi, "Qin She people don't forget their fathers and mothers, and their filial piety touches the heavens and the earth." Then this king will not delay your little couple to spend the moon before the moon, and you will meet again. β
With that, he retreated into the carriage, and Tan Tai urged the driver to catch the car.
Qin Ji casually threw away the wine glass and continued to go to Yang's house.
Yu Mingzhi sighed: "You are very bold, there are many ways to refuse, but you chose the most faceless." β
Qin Ji said: "Anyway, I want to fight to the death, why accept his blessing." He is Zhizhi's father-killing enemy, and he is also my enemy, and the only thing I can do to be polite and thoughtful and not let him pick a thorn in greetings is the only thing I can do. β
Yu Mingzhi didn't say anything more, looking ahead, but Qin Ji's back always had a place in her field of vision.
Coming to the door of Yang's house, Qin Ji said: "You will take the snow back first, and I will take it away the day before I get married." β
"Hmm." Yu Mingzhi rode a horse to the fullest today, feeling tired at this time, and seeing the real enemy, his heart was a little angry, and he wanted to be alone.
Qin Ji raised his hand to brush away a strand of broken hair from the corner of her forehead, "Tomorrow Tan Tai falls into my hands, there will be more interesting things." If you are interested, you can come to the yamen to watch. β
The tiredness dissipated in an instant, and Yu Mingzhi gritted his teeth and said, "I will definitely go." β
