In the front yard, Lu Qin waited there with more than a dozen guards from the Yuwang Mansion, posing that the Yuwang had an order, and there was a posture that we would not leave if you didn't hand over people.

Wang was the first to rush over after hearing the report, and his face was a little strange when he saw such a battle, where is this what people should look like, it is clearly to rob people.

"Lord Lu, in addition to being the medical girl of Anle Hall, Minying is also a girl from the Qi family, and she is not a palace maid, it is common for her to stay for a few days if there is something at home, you come to the door like this, you are not inviting someone."

Lu Qin Zhengse said: "Mrs. Qi, the Qi doctor girl was ordered by the concubine Niangniang to go to the palace to regulate the body of the prince, originally the funeral should have returned to the palace, the prince read the hard work of the crying spirit for a few days, so she stayed in the Qi Mansion, and now that the funeral has passed a few days, it is time for the Qi doctor to return to the palace." ”

"What Lord Lu said is, but there is still something at home tomorrow, and when I am done, I will send someone to send her over, so I won't ask you to pick her up." Wang smiled and refused, this is not a palace maid, let the palace deploy, where is it the turn of her Qi family's family to intervene in the family affairs of the Yu Wangfu.

"Yu Wangye's health has never been very good, originally the concubine Niangniang sent Qi Doctor to take care of the prince, the queen mother was funeral, the prince was overly sad, and he was even more haggard these days." Lu Qin reminded the Wang family, "There should be someone waiting for the Qi doctor girl by his side, but he is not taking care of the palace in the palace, it is really unreasonable, and it is not easy to explain in front of the noble concubine." ”

Wang's face stiffened, and he carried Shen Guifei in both sentences, this is to use Guifei Niangniang to oppress people.

"His Royal Highness King Yu has always been in good health, and I have never heard of any discomfort in him."

Lu Qin immediately lowered his face: "Mrs. Qi means that we deliberately used the reason that the prince was unwell to invite the Qi doctor girl back. ”

Isn't it, you guys are simply here to rob people in this battle, Wang put the words in his stomach and smiled: "Lord Lu, I didn't mean that, it's just that the family does have arrangements tomorrow, and when things are done, I will send Minying over, and I will ask you to be accommodating." ”

"Mrs. Qi, it's not that we are not accommodating, but we are acting on orders." Lu Qin said again, "But if the Qi family really has 100,000 urgent matters, they must be present with the Qi doctor, and ask Mrs. Qi to explain, so that after I go back, I and the prince will have something to explain." ”

After finishing speaking, Lu Qin looked at Wang, the meaning in his eyes was clear, and he waited for Wang to say tomorrow's "100,000 urgent things".

Wang's face was slightly red, even the wedding and funeral did not need to be described as 100,000 urgent, not to mention that he would go out to entertain guests tomorrow, which was forcing the Qi family to make friends, it was simply too deceitful.

It is rumored that Shen Guifei's son Yu Wang Ye is gloomy and has an uncertain temperament, countless people have died under his hands, and countless maids have disappeared in his mansion, and no one can offend him. But because Qi Xiangsi saved Yu Wang Ye once, and Shen Guifei and Yu Wang Ye also rewarded Qi Xiangsi, so Qi Fu's impression of Yu Wang Ye was not so bad.

Now the Wang family has firmly realized the unreasonableness and arrogance of the Yuwang Mansion, and it sounds good to come to the door to invite people, but who is so "invited" people, more than a dozen guards all have straight faces, and there are knives hanging on their waists, and there is a posture of pulling out a knife to grab people if they don't agree with each other, and Lord Lu, the personal guard of the famous prince, looks at the good-tempered appearance, and the words he says can choke people to death.

"Mrs. Qi." Lu Qin reminded her lightly, "Or does the Qi family not want the Qi family to go to the Yuwang Mansion to recuperate the prince's body?" If this is the case, I would also like to make another arrangement as soon as possible, so as not to wait for a long time and the prince will be unhappy. ”

The Wang family has been married into the Qi family for so many years, and it is the first time that she has been threatened like this, and she forced out a smile: "Come on, go and invite the five girls." ”

......

Qi Xiangsi packed up her things and went to the front yard, Wang's face looked very exciting, even if she tried her best to suppress it, it was difficult to completely cover it up, after all, tomorrow is so important to Qi Henian, and at this moment, Qi Henian has not come back in order to contain Master Fan.

What makes the Wang family feel hopeless is that even if her husband comes back, this person can't stay, and the style of Yuwangfu's behavior is arrogant and unreasonable, and Shen Guifei and Yuwangfu's Qi family can't afford to offend.

Lu Qin asked the guards to take the burden for Qi Xiangsi with a serious expression, made a gesture of invitation, didn't say anything, and asked Qi Xiangsi to go out and get into the carriage.

Qi Xiangsi looked at Wang apologetically and said, "I can't accompany the second uncle to entertain Mrs. Fan and them tomorrow, and when the second uncle comes back, I will bother you to say it." ”

Wang's smile was far-fetched: "Go ahead, but you have to take care of the prince with all your heart." ”

"Yes." Qi Xiangsi nodded and walked out of the Qi Mansion, the carriage outside was ordinary, I couldn't tell that it was sent by the Yuwang Mansion, the most conspicuous thing was the dozen or so guards, Qi Xiangsi stepped on the carriage, and after the curtain was lowered, Lu Qin sat up, said and set off, and the group left with great momentum.

When the carriage was halfway there, Lu Qin opened the curtain to look at her, and explained with a smile: "Miss Qi, the prince is not free these days, so he sent me to pick up Miss Qi and go home." ”

Lilac reported that when the Yu Wangfu sent someone to pick her up, she guessed that it was Lu Qin: "Is the prince still in the palace?" ”

"I was tired a few days ago, and the queen and the concubine are not in good health these days, and the queen mother has stayed in the palace after the funeral."

"Is the concubine sick?"

"You also know in the palace that the queen's body bones have always been poor, and many of the queen mother's aftermath are handled by the concubine, it was nothing before, once you are busy with things, people are easy to get sick, and it is good to recuperate for a while."

"The prince can stay in the palace and accompany the concubine more."

"Originally, I was supposed to come to pick you up after the funeral, because some things were delayed." Lu Qin has been busy these days and can't take a break, so he brought someone over as soon as it was over.

Qi Xiangsi listened to Lu Qin talk about these days, pursed her lips and smiled.

"Miss Qi, why don't you see your maid following you."

Qi Xiangsi looked up at him: "You mean jade?" ”

Lu Qin scratched his head embarrassedly: "Yes, it's her." ”

It's the first time I've seen Lu Qin like this, Qi Xiangsi smiled: "She stayed in the Qi family, I went to Yuwang's Mansion to condition the prince's body, and I didn't want to be the eldest lady, so naturally I don't need to be served." ”

"I just asked casually, I always saw her follow you before." Lu Qin's words were a little trying to cover up, so he hurriedly covered himself up and put aside the topic, "By the way, Miss Qi, Mrs. Qi said that there is something important tomorrow, but is it an excuse?" ”

"It's not an excuse." Qi Xiangsi shook her head, "Tomorrow she will entertain a few merchant wives from Zhuzhou and take me over." ”

"Mrs. merchant from Zhuzhou?" Lu Qin was a little puzzled, isn't this a self-surrendering identity, and the merchant entertained her almost the same.

"Mrs. Fan." Qi Xiangsi added, "Zhuzhou Fan's family. ”

Lu Qin, who had followed the prince to contact the Qi family's case, quickly understood what Qi Xiangsi meant, Zhuzhou Fan family, isn't that the Wanxian Zhou family who has in-laws with the Qi family, Qi Henian invited them to Kyoto City, and asked Miss Qi to accompany them, it was too poisonous.

Lu Qin breathed a sigh of relief: "Then it's really time for me to come." ”

"yes." Qi Xiangsi's smile gradually faded, "It's really time for you to come." ”

......

When I returned to Yuwang's Mansion, it was already dark, and the huge mansion seemed empty, Qi Xiangsi packed up his things and went to the kitchen, the kitchen was lit with lights, and Uncle Wang was pickling cabbage.

There were several large empty jars, with washed cabbage on a sieve and two large jars of salt and chili flour to taste.

Uncle Wang's movements were very neat, not long after Qi Xiangsi sat down, he had already pickled a layer of bottom, looked up and saw that Qi Xiangsi had been watching the movements in his hands, and smiled and asked her to wash her hands and come over to help him pickle together.

"Little prince likes to eat these?" Qi Xiangsi looked at these jars, if they were to fill them, they wouldn't be able to eat them all in a few years.

"The prince has a light taste, he doesn't like to eat these, he is made for the guards in the house, it's almost the New Year, let them take it back to taste." Uncle Wang pointed to the bacon hanging from the vent in the kitchen, "This is made two days ago, they are all New Year's goods in the palace, and the rest are still being purchased, and the prince has always been polite." ”

Qi Xiangsi's heart moved: "Uncle Wang, are there still radishes in the kitchen?" ”

"Yes, there are many, I will leave you there to get them."

Qi Xiangsi beckoned Lu Li to come in and cook porridge, took a radish from the shelf, washed and peeled it, put it in a clay pot and kneaded it with his hands to remove the water, poured vinegar and sesame oil after adding ingredients, mixed well, put several plates, and sprinkled some green onions.

Pinch the remaining shredded radish into the water and fry it in the pot until fragrant, take the dough that Uncle Wang has woken up and roll out some thin dough, put the fried shredded radish into it and wrap it into a roll, and then fry it in the oil pan, and scoop it up to be a golden radish spring crisp roll.

Qi Xiangsi made a lot, and asked Lu Li to bring the cooked porridge with shredded radish and spring rolls to Lu Qin and them for supper, and then left some for Uncle Wang, and packed a copy and returned to the guest room with a food box.

As soon as he entered the courtyard, Qi Xiangsi found the little prince standing at the door of the guest room.

Yan Congyu watched her approach, and the person in front of him was holding up the food box in his hand and boasting to him: "How do you know that I made a supper?" ”

"I knew you were going to come back, I would have made an extra copy, and those have already been sent to Lu Qin and them." Qi Xiangsi walked up the steps, and when he saw that he hadn't changed his clothes, he guessed that he would come to the guest room as soon as he returned home, so he asked him, "Are you hungry?" ”

Yan Congyu nodded, Qi Xiangsi took him into the house, and took out the porridge and radish side dishes from the food box: "I just thought of this when I saw Uncle Wang pickling cabbage when I went to the kitchen, the taste is the most suitable for porridge, you can taste it." ”

Yan Congyu took the chopsticks in her hand, picked up the shredded radish and tasted it, as she said, the taste was clear, with a hint of sweetness, and a faint vinegar fragrance. Her pleasant voice came to his ears, dispelling the tiredness of his days.

When Qi Xiangsi came back from the study, she found that he had almost eaten, so she looked at him with a smile and asked, "Is it delicious?" ”

Yan Congyu's words were a little cold: "Not bad." ”

The room was quiet, Qi Xiangsi cleaned up the table, Yan Congyu's eyes fell on her back, he missed her voice, missed her laughing appearance, and he missed it especially in the palace these days.

The words of the mother concubine are vivid in my ears, as well as my father's, starling's, and ninth brother's, after he learned that she returned to Yuwang's mansion, he couldn't wait to come back, and his heart could be quieter after seeing her.

A cup of tea was gently placed in front of him, and Qi Xiangsi stood by the window and asked him, "Is the concubine Niangniang okay?" ”

Yan Congyu nodded: "It's okay." ”

"That's good, I was still a little worried when I heard Lu Qin talk about it, I cried and guarded the spirit for several days before, and my iron body would be unbearable, not to mention that the concubine Niangniang had to take care of other things." Qi Xiangsi leaned on the edge of the window and took a deep breath, the cool breeze woke up, and it was already dew outside at night.

There was no sound behind him, Qi Xiangsi was also used to him not liking to talk, looking up at the sky outside the eaves, the gloomy day was sunny at night, and you could see the stars.

"There is always frost when you wake up early in the morning after the cold wave passes, or it will snow soon, and the osmanthus that was brewed before is almost there, and you can make osmanthus jelly when the time comes. Also, you ...... the venison that Uncle Wang pickled" Qi Xiangsi paused when he saw the hand around his waist, and stumbled a little when he said again, "You...... Have you ever tasted it. ”

His head rested on her shoulder, almost buried in her hair, Qi Xiangsi clearly felt his breathing in his ears, very slow, very heavy.

He has something on his mind.

There must have been a lot of things happening in the palace in the past few days, the queen mother, who loved the eighth prince the most, passed away, the emperor was sick, and the position of the crown prince had not been decided.

Qi Xiangsi had something to blurt out in her mind, and by the time she thought about it, it had already been spoken.

"Do you want to be an emperor?"

The breath in the ears is stagnant for a while, and the next moment is even heavier, just like the inner struggle and chaos, which cannot be calmed down.

Qi Xiangsi didn't ask again, just stood there quietly with him, listening to his breathing gradually stabilize, and felt the hand he was holding gradually loosened.

I don't know how long it took, the breath was far away from my ears, Qi Xiangsi turned around, hugged her with her backhand, and did her best to comfort him.

The night should be a little slower, a little slower, to give them a little more time.

......

Qi Xiangsi hugged a quilt and sat under the eaves with him, took out the warm stove in his arms and put it in his hand, sniffed lightly, and said in a normal tone: "Two days ago, I saw my uncle who I hadn't seen for more than ten years, and Qi Henian brought them here, thinking that the Fan family arranged for me to enter the Qi Mansion." ”

"If I go to them, I'll hurt them." Qi Xiangsi didn't want to ask why he moved away back then, "Qi Henian just wants to know what the Fan family has found over the years, whether he knows that he is the murderer, what he wants to know most is whether his grandfather and father handed over the Qi family's secret recipe to the Fan family for safekeeping." ”

Qi Xiangsi held his hand to warm his cheeks: "He wanted a secret recipe in his heart, so I helped him make a secret recipe." ”

"There are two factions in the Tai Hospital on how to treat my father." Yan Congyu gave her the stove again, pulled up the quilt she was wrapping in, and covered her ears directly, "I heard Imperial Doctor Lu talk about immortal medicine. ”

Qi Xiangsi guessed and knew: "Is it Qi Henian who supports to find immortal medicine." ”

Yan Congyu nodded, Imperial Physician Lu is a pragmatic faction, he has been in charge of the Tai Hospital for many years, and he is also meticulous in dealing with his father's illness. When the emperor was not in good health, Qi Henian found the medicine tripod, and now the emperor is ill, Qi Henian advocates finding a way to repair the medicine tripod, and what makes Imperial Doctor Lu feel unreliable is that he actually wants to find some immortal medicine.

"The emperor agreed?"

"Father has sent someone out to search for the map."

"Then the emperor knows that Qi Henian has three in his hand."

"Father doesn't seem to know."

Qi Xiangsi still understands Qi Henian on this point: "He must want to explore the way first and then invite merit, these pictures have been around for a long time, and the truth is not clear, he is such a cautious person who will not play empty hands, he must be ready and then present to the emperor." ”

Speaking of which, Qi Henian's departure to Yongzhou was also imminent, and he didn't have much time to spend on the Fan family.

Just thinking about it, Qi Xiangsi's forehead suddenly felt cold, she raised her head, her forehead was cold again, Qi Xiangsi raised her hand to the sky, and said in a daze: "It's snowing." ”

Tiny snow particles fell from the sky and sprinkled on their faces, which quickly melted into water, Qi Xiangsi couldn't believe it, turned his head to look at Yan Congyu, and smiled after finding the crystal falling from his hair: "It's really snowing." ”

It's just that this smile didn't stay long before it faded, and the snow meant that the sky in Kyoto City would not warm up again, and it also meant that the emperor's illness would be difficult to get better this winter, and what would happen in the palace.

As if he knew what she was thinking, Yan Congyu got up, and the two of them retreated to the eaves, and he said lightly: "The mother concubine wanted me to go to the fiefdom, but my father didn't agree." ”

Shen Guifei wanted to keep her son away from this battle, but the emperor wanted to keep him in this battle, if he hadn't known these things for a long time, Qi Xiangsi would have thought that the emperor wanted to pass on the throne to his favorite prince.

"Starling asked me to help him." Brother Jiu said openly that he wanted him to support him, and secretly thought about how to get rid of him quickly.

Qi Xiangsi understood: "Is the Eighth Prince's illness untreatable?" ”

Yan Congyu turned his head to look at her, these days in the palace, the starling's cough is indeed not as serious as before.

Qi Xiangsi looked back at him, some things are not to be said, he has actually checked very clearly, about the person who put a ladder outside the Taihe Palace to throw loquat leaf velvet, found the pro-military department, and found the Huo family, and it does not prove that this is the concubine De instructed others to do it, doing this kind of thing for several years in a row, the Taihe Palace will not be unaware, there are only two reasons, one is that it is indeed done by Concubine De, the eighth prince knows it but pretends to be stupid, and the second is that this matter is a bitter drama played by the eighth prince himself from beginning to end.

Qi Xiangsi believes in the second reason.

Soon, her idea was confirmed. 166 Reading Network
