Chapter 90: Loyalty
Qi Xin looked at the sleeping Beiqi beside him, got up gently, and walked outside with just a thin piece of clothing.
"Mother, why did you come out?"
Man'er didn't lie down and fall asleep, but leaned against the door panel of the outer room in a daze, and when he saw Qixin coming out, he hurriedly got up from the ground. Man'er had been sitting for a long time, and his legs were numb, and he couldn't stabilize at this time.
Qi Xin sped up and stepped forward to stabilize Man'er, and said to Man'er in disgust,
"I told you not to force yourself too much, you must not have rested well in the past few days, so you don't need to come and serve in such a hurry."
Man'er looked at Qixin, and the warm current in his heart surged up again.
After sending away Qingshui, Beiqi stayed in Weiyang Palace for dinner, although Man'er was not in good health, Chang Xin still asked Man'er to follow and serve. Chang Xin knew that nothing could be hidden from Northern Qi, and at this time, Northern Qi must have known that it was Man'er who revealed the news of Qingshui to Northern Qi. If you don't pick things apart at this time and let Northern Qi forgive Man'er, Man'er may die at any time because of a small mistake in the future.
The atmosphere in the banquet was very good, Qi Xin was happy because Qing Shui was released into the Qing Kingdom, and Northern Qi was happy because Qi Xin was happy. After eating a little, the seventh princess went back to her room under the pretext of being unwell.
Beiqi sandwiched a piece of fish for Qixin, and Man'er was picking fish bones with all his heart. Bei Qi glanced at Man'er, as if he said casually,
"Man'er, this girl, is also good when she serves me there, and she is the one who is trained by Uncle Changgui. But she was transferred to your side, and I am lacking a capable person, otherwise the queen will give up her love and return Man'er to me, and ask Uncle Changgui to pick a few more good ones for you. ”
The fish meat that Qi Xin put in his mouth forgot to chew and looked at Beiqi blankly. Man'er shuddered even more, and pricked his fingers with this.
"Your Majesty, what does your Majesty mean by this?"
Qi Xin finally withdrew from the joy, pretended to be calm and put down his chopsticks, and looked at Beiqi.
Chang Xin is also tight. He secretly glanced at Chang Gui, who was standing behind Beiqi, but he couldn't see any change on the other party's face.
Beiqi looked at Qi Xin and smiled, as if to comfort Qi Xin. But in a blink of an eye, he looked at Man'er with cruel eyes,
"I see. Man'er, this girl, still needs to be trained again. ”
Man'er heard Beiqi say this, and quickly knelt on the ground in fright,
"The slave and the maid are guilty, the slave and the maid are guilty, and the emperor spares his life."
Beiqi looked at Man'er on the ground. I didn't want to say anything, and when I turned my face, I looked at Qi Xin gently.
Qi Xin looked at Bei Qi's changing face and sneered in his heart. But Qi Xin still has to pretend to be frightened by Northern Qi's actions,
"The emperor, the emperor, Man'er is very good, and the concubines are very satisfied, so, so."
"The queen is still young, and there are many things you don't understand yet. Like this kind of bold slave maid, the queen is still more vigilant. The queen believes in me, and it is really for the queen's good. ”
Bei Qi looked at Qi Xin affectionately while holding Qi Xin's hand. However, Qi Xin quietly pushed Qi Xin's hand away, quietly got up, and knelt beside Man'er.
"The emperor, the concubine, there are many things I don't understand, but. The concubine is slowly learning. Man'er has been by the concubine's side for so long, and the concubine doesn't feel that there is anything wrong with Man'er. Even if Man'er had any problems, they were all ordered by the concubines. If Man'er made any mistakes, it was actually the fault of the concubine. If the emperor thinks that Man'er needs to be punished. and the concubine shall also be chastened. ”
Qi Xin knelt straight beside Man'er, his attitude began to harden again, and pimples began to grow in Beiqi's heart again. Beiqi's brows furrowed slightly, and he began to worry about the current scene again.
At this time, Chang Gui, who had not spoken, walked to Qixin's side and knelt down. Chang Xin saw Chang Gui's move, and knelt down behind Chang Gui.
"Your Majesty, Man'er was trained by a slave, and if Man'er did something wrong, it was also a slave who was not trained well. The queen mother is just a temporary short-term protection, and she can't fully understand the emperor's painstaking efforts, but the queen mother is not wrong. The emperor still punishes the minions, and the minions are willing to be punished. ”
Although Chang Gui did this because he was entrusted by Qi Xin to protect Man'er, he was actually trying to find a step for Northern Qi. If Northern Qi wants to punish Man'er, Qixin must protect it, but Northern Qi can't really punish Qixin, Chang Gui will take the responsibility down, and Beiqi will do better.
Although Chang Xin and Man'er were slightly surprised by Chang Gui's actions, Northern Qi and Qi Xin were calm and undisturbed. Even the nervous expression on Beiqi's face became a little relaxed.
Beiqi thought for a moment, looked at Man'er,
"Man'er, don't think that you really don't know what you've done, this matter is small and small, but the consequences are strict."
Qi Xin heard Bei Qi say this, and looked at him nervously.
"But you listened to the master's words, and you are usually loyal to the queen, so the punishment is reduced. It's okay to fine you for a year's monthly money, and you have to think more about your master in the future. ”
Man'er looked at the emperor gratefully,
"Emperor Xie, Emperor Xie, long live the emperor, long live long live. The slave will definitely serve the queen well in the future, definitely. ”
Qi Xin saw Man'er so happy, and a smile appeared on his face, and he glanced at Bei Qi, his expression was full of warmth.
"As for Uncle Changgui, although he is not at fault, he still has to be an example. This time, I will wronged you first, and I will punish you for walking a few more steps every day to accompany me to Weiyang Palace. ”
Chang Gui smiled, Beiqi handed Chang Xin a look, and Chang Xin understood and helped Chang Gui up from the ground.
Bei Qi finally looked at Qi Xin on the ground and stretched out his hand,
"How dare I punish you, it's too late to feel distressed."
Qi Xin smiled and put his hand into Bei Qi's hand and sat down next to Bei Qi again.
Man'er knew that Chang Gui would not come out to speak for her for no reason, so he naturally asked for it. Qi Xin was in front of Beiqi, in order to protect her, she could see her tough attitude. Although Qi Xin is still wearing thin clothes now, she is still concerned about whether she is paralyzed, since she entered the Northern Qi Palace, no one has treated her so well.
"What's the matter, are you still worried? Or are you sitting on the ground for too long and freezing stupid? Man'er, don't worry, this palace will definitely not let you be hurt. ”
Man'er looked at Qi Xin's worried appearance, and warm tears flowed down. Man'er looked at Qi Xin and knelt solemnly on the ground,
"Queen Mother, from now on, Man'er will definitely be loyal to you."
Qi Xin looked at the person who was crawling at his feet, and finally a stone fell to the ground in his heart. (To be continued.) )
