Chapter 507: Surprised
"Qi You, what are you doing, be quiet!" Xibao was frightened by Qi You's startled appearance.
"This ...... This girl is about to get married, how can she not return at night? Qi You said a little angrily.
"Why don't you go home at night, it's just to stay in the fifth brother's mansion for one night, it's a common thing before, why are you reacting so much?" Xibao was puzzled.
"Did she go to see Jiang Hengkun?" Qi You asked with a dark face.
"yes." Xibao replied very lightly.
"yes, still, you...... Aren't you worried about what will happen to them? Qi You said a little nervously.
"What could happen?" Xibao was puzzled, this Huanyan often went out of the palace to find Jiang Hengkun, anyway, the wedding date had been set, and they liked each other again, Xibao didn't plan to stop it at all after figuring it out.
"Oops...... Little girl, you...... If they are alone, you won't be afraid ......" Qi You still couldn't say anything about his daughter.
"What are you afraid of! Yan'er is a girl who knows how to protect herself, and Jiang Hengkun is a well-behaved child, you think you are as impulsive as you were when you were young. Xibao glanced at Qi You and continued to eat.
"Hey...... Hey, I'm a man, I can best understand the blood of boys of this age, I'm not afraid that we will suffer losses, how can they climb on me. Qi You wiped his nose a little embarrassed.
Xibao smiled and said: "What are you afraid of, it's not just the two of them, Zhao Min follows, he sees it more tightly than you." ”
"Min'er followed, too?" Qi You suddenly felt a little relieved.
"Yes, Min'er followed. Huan Yue is very busy now, so many times I ask Min'er to accompany Yan'er, this time I heard Yan'er say that there is an opera troupe that can sing Kunqu Opera in the south of the city, Jiang Hengkun is happy to ask someone to hand over the words, Yan'er really wants to go and see, I think that Yan'er has been in the palace these days, and I am so bored that I panicked, so I agreed, the theater will not end until later, and the time is almost over. I'm afraid that the palace gate will be locked. She came back too late from the south of the city, so she agreed to go to the fifth master to rest for a night, and I have already sent someone out of the palace to the fifth master to spread the word, you. Don't worry. Xibao finally patiently explained to Qi You.
"Kunqu opera troupe from the south of the city?" Qi You was also a little curious.
"yes. I heard that it is still a very famous Kunqu opera troupe in the Jiangnan area. Don't talk about it, I want to see it too. Xibao said with some yearning.
"That's not easy, I just sent a holy decree to summon them into the palace. There is still no need to envy here. Qi You replied with a smile.
"Hey...... It's just a drama troupe, and you can't do it so hard, besides, listening to the drama is not the most important thing. Xibao muttered.
Qi You was stunned for a moment before he reacted and said, "You want to go out of the palace to take a look, right?" ”
Xibao was punctured and pouted a little embarrassed: "What's the matter, I can't get out anyway, I'm not allowed to think about it." ”
"You girl, I didn't say that I would detain you, it's not easy to go out of the palace to take a look, I'll take you tomorrow." Qi You smiled easily.
"You're old and have a lot of opportunities, how can you have this time, and then ......" Xibao hesitated.
"Say anything more?" Qi You was curious.
"Besides, it's been a busy time, let's talk about it in a few days." Xibao hesitated for a while.
"Isn't it Yan'er's marriage, and it's only been a few days, otherwise, how about I take you outside for a good walk after Yan'er gets married?" Qi You suggested.
"Is the emperor's affairs over?" Xibao raised his head slightly and asked.
"Uh......" Qi You was a little stunned and said, "You don't have to worry about these things, I can naturally handle them." ”
"Your Majesty, do you really want to pass on the second prince to Qi Shen?" Xibao asked.
"Hey...... Did someone ask you for this? Qi You was a little puzzled at first.
"Naturally not, they don't have the courage to beg me, I'm just worried about you." Xibao explained.
"Hey...... The second prince is my son, and I feel very uncomfortable making such a decision, but that child made a big mistake, the most taboo in the royal family is father and son, and the struggle for power between brothers is not stopped in advance, I am afraid that it will be a bloody situation in the future, and his heart is wild in the end. Qi You said with some disappointment.
"The second prince is a bit excessive, but if you think about it carefully, he should have been bewitched by Qi Shen to be so rebellious, I can see that his target is not you, the father, but me and Yue'er." Xibao said.
"It is precisely because of this that I want to succeed him, you are the person I want to protect, but he dares to reach out to you with wolf ambition, I will never allow it!" Qi You said hatefully.
"But ......" Although Xibao knew Qi You's intentions, she still felt unreliable in her heart, after all, the second prince was Qi You's only son-in-law, and if she did this, Xibao was really afraid that the officials would hold on to it.
"Girl, don't worry, since I made such an arrangement, it is naturally arranged before and after, so you don't have to worry about it." Qi You didn't want Xibao to worry.
"Then the queen mother and the queen have no opinions?" Xibao asked.
Qi You smiled slightly: "This time it is the lifeblood of the Liu family, how can they have no opinion, but this is their Liu family's own fault, I don't plan to implicate the Liu family, but Liu Ba still doesn't give up, now this step of the field is all caused by themselves, I am just a slight push." ”
"Liu Ba? The Liu family? Xibao sighed and said, "This is probably the best weapon that the old man specially left for you, right?" ”
"Why do you say that?" Qi You asked.
Xi Bao said: "The Liu family is the first family of the two dynasties, and they are relatives, doesn't the emperor deal with them equal to waking up all the princely families, isn't it?" ”
"Hehe, sort of, but this is what the Liu family owes me and my father." Qi You said a little stunned.
"Qi You...... You...... Haven't you put it down yet? Xibao was a little worried, she knew that this question was not easy to ask, because no matter how she spoke, she couldn't avoid the violent death of Qi You's biological mother, but Xibao just didn't want Qi You to be troubled and tormented by this problem all the time, so she still opened her mouth after hesitating.
"Girl...... Are you worried about me? Qi You put down the chopsticks in his hand and asked a little upright.
Xibao also put down the dishes and chopsticks and looked at Qi You and said: "Yes, I'm worried about you, although you haven't talked about it all these years, but I know that you have been struggling with this problem in your heart, the Liu family is your mother-killing enemy, but they have also raised you for more than ten years, although they can't catch up with your relatives, but they still raised you." ”
"I have always known that the relationship between you and the Queen Mother is lukewarm, although you have always been very filial, but the Queen Mother is not affectionate to you, before I was thinking that maybe it was the reason for the Queen Mother's character, but later after knowing the truth, I understood that the Queen Mother has always hated you, because it was for you that the first emperor separated their mother and son, all this resentment, the Queen Mother has been transferred to you, so you will not feel the warmth of your mother, I know all this, but you are a person who values love and righteousness, Such contradictions have been bothering you for too long. Xibao noticed that Qi You was already a little stunned.
"Hey......" Qi You's words in his heart seemed to have been slowly pulled out by Xibao, he could only sigh, but he didn't know how to answer.
Xibao hesitated for a long time and continued: "Qi You, I know that you have always been uncomfortable in your heart, you were treated coldly by the uncomfortable Queen Mother before, and then you suffered because of entanglement, Qi You, over the years, you often feel uncomfortable in your heart, I know that they have gradually become your thorn in the throat." ”
"Hey...... It's not just a sting, it's a needle, and it stabs me from time to time, but I ...... But they couldn't do it until they got to a dead end, hey...... In the end, I am too soft-hearted, otherwise you and Yue'er would not be threatened like that. Qi You finally spoke.
"Qi You, I have never blamed and resented you for what happened before, I know that you have been doing your best to protect and care for us, I know it, but the more you are like this, the more I feel that I owe you, I just want to do my best to make your heart feel more comfortable, so ...... That's why I brought it up, Qi You, I didn't ask for it...... Makes you uncomfortable. Xibao still couldn't help but explain.
Qi You suddenly smiled and said: "Xibao, you know my heart, then I can also understand your heart, I know that you are just worried about me, I won't think nonsense, it's just ...... After all, this incident has bothered me for many years, and now this fishbone has been suddenly removed, although it has smoothed a lot, but the wound still needs time to recover slowly, you can rest assured, since that night, I have completely let go, but this matter has been lingering in my heart for many years, and I will still recall it somewhat. ”
Qi You's explanation didn't seem to be perfunctory, and when Xibao heard this, he straightened up and confirmed, "Are you really like this?" ”
Qi You laughed and said, "Little girl, I have deceived you for a while, why did you completely hate you?" Now you won't believe what I say?"
Xibao was slightly embarrassed, and said a little embarrassed: "What are you talking about, I'm worried about you." ”
"Well, I know, but shouldn't you be more worried about whether I'm full yet?" Qi You picked up the chopsticks again and asked with a smile.
Xibao was also a little embarrassed and said: "Oh, patronizing and talking, these dishes are cold, why don't you let them change some new ones." ”
"No, no, as long as you are with you, you can eat anything." Qi You didn't care, he just picked up the dishes and ate happily again.
Seeing this, Xibao suddenly felt that his heart was warm, and then he hooked the corners of his mouth and picked up the chopsticks again......
The night slowly deepened, and the Changxin Palace was still comfortable, and a group of young men and women in brocade clothes suddenly poured out of a hall at the south street entrance of the palace outside the palace, shaking through the crowd, and it seemed that Huan Yan and Zhao Min could still be seen.
