Chapter 12: The Two Princesses

On the way back from the imperial study, the queen had been thinking about what was the most important reason for the sudden suspension of preparations for the wedding, and asked not to spread the news. But she just won't go to the emperor to ask, this is her benefit, and it is also the reason why the emperor wants to canonize her as the queen.

After returning to the palace, the queen didn't find anyone to tell anything, and all the things were still carried out step by step, but when Shanggong Niangniang came to report the progress to the queen, the queen just nodded and asked them to put away all the things that were prepared, and suspended all the time.

Although the ladies of the various palaces also felt strange why the queen became so relaxed, the queen just said that she didn't want to make them work too hard, so they didn't want to ask anything more.

Whenever the queen thought about a problem, she would sit in front of the dresser brought from her mother's house and look in the mirror, until she became the queen, she also brought the somewhat old dresser into the palace, and often asked someone to repair it.

After the lady left, the queen sat in front of the dresser and looked in the mirror.

"Sister, sister."

It's the familiar voice of Princess Qixin. Although Qixin is deeply favored by the emperor, he respects the queen very much on weekdays and never does anything extraordinary. Sometimes there are cases of yelling in the queen's palace, but that is because there are special circumstances.

"I don't know what big deal is going on with Princess Qixin."

The palace maid was talking to herself on the side, and the queen looked in the mirror, hesitating whether to go over and listen, and finally stood up,

"Let's go, let's go see what's going on."

"Sister, sister."

Qi Xin hurriedly broke in, and the seventh princess was still embroidering. As soon as Qi Xin went in and saw the seventh princess who was still embroidering, he was angry, and ran over and snatched the embroidery needle from the seventh princess's hand.

"Oh, sister, why are you still in the mood to embroider at this time."

The Seventh Princess has not yet relented. The contents of the hand were taken away,

"Qixin, you take a breath and speak again, what are you doing in a hurry."

The seventh princess stood up unhurriedly. Qi Xin immediately took her hand and pulled her closer to him.

"Sister, Duan Zhirong."

"Princess Qixin."

Before Qi Xin's words were finished, he was interrupted by the queen who rushed over. This time, Qi Xin was startled, and when Qi Xin turned around, he saw that the queen's expression was not very good and entered the room of the seventh princess.

"The son asks the queen mother to say goodbye."

"The son asks the queen mother to say goodbye."

Qi Xin and the Seventh Princess have changed their queens to ask for peace, as well as a kind of palace people in the room. The Queen nodded. With a wave of his hand, he told most of the palace maids to push down. And then he himself approached Qixin,

"What's the matter? As soon as you come in, you shout, and you don't know how to pay attention to it, and you're about to get married, how can you always be so frizzy. ”

As soon as the queen mother said this, Qi Xin seemed to suddenly realize, and hurriedly saluted the queen mother again.

"The Queen Mother atoned for her sins. Just now, the son was in too much of a hurry and disturbed the queen mother. ”

The queen smiled, not intending to blame Qi Xin. Instead, he sat down with the hands of Qi Xin,

"Qi Xin knows such a temperament, how can I blame you. It's just that you can't be like this when you marry into Duan Mansion in the future, the palace is your home, you can do whatever you want. The queen mother was just curious, what was it that made us so anxious? I don't know if I told your mother to come to your sister in a hurry. ”

Remembering what he wanted to do again,

"Oh oh, yes, yes, yes. The Queen's Mother. Erchen met Brother Zhirong on the way to the imperial study just now, and Brother Zhirong said to Erchen, "

"Didn't Major General Duan come to the palace from the market, what's so strange. Could it be that he said something nice to Qixin again? Hehe. Look at you like this, really. Let's go to the kitchenette and get some of the usual pastries for Princess Qixin, and you'll be hungry in a while. ”

Before Qi Xin's words were finished, he was interrupted by the queen mother. The queen secretly increased the strength of her hand, and gave Qi Xinzhi a look to signal her to be quiet first. As if he understood, Qi Xin stopped talking. Wait for the queen to send the remaining two palace maids who are serving closely.

After the door of the room was closed, the queen looked at Qixin again,

"Qixin, what did you say Major General Duan told you?"

"Brother Zhirong didn't say much, just said that on the border between the Northern Qi Kingdom and the Qing Kingdom, there was a Northern Qi army stationed in the Northern Qi Kingdom."

"Boundary? What happened to the army of Northern Qi that appeared on the border? ”

The Seventh Princess usually lives in the palace and does not understand these things.

The queen didn't speak after hearing it, even if Duan Zhirong only left Qi Xin's sentence, the content was very amazing. The appearance of an army on the border, if it is not agreed in advance, can easily lead to war. The queen's heart was shocked, and she suddenly turned her head to look at the seventh princess who was still in a vague state, and the seventh princess felt the queen's strong gaze and also looked at the queen.

Qi Xin usually follows the emperor a lot, and he has also read a lot of books with Duan Zhirong, so he still has some opinions on this matter. But she also saw the queen's worried gaze at the seventh princess, and suddenly realized the marriage of the seventh princess.

Knowing that it is a very dangerous thing to have an army stationed at the border, and if you don't do it, there will be war. If there is a real war, what will the Seven Princes do? Moreover, the sudden appearance of the Northern Qi army at the border is very suspicious in itself, and the two countries are about to have a national marriage, and if there is a conflict at this time, then the wedding will become very strange, and the position of the seventh princess will become very embarrassing.

Shake your head in unison and get those bad thoughts out of your head.

"Oh, I don't know, I just think it's a novelty. Hey. ”

Qi Xin put on another face, smiled at the seventh princess, and stuck out his tongue. The seventh princess looked at Princess Qixin and smiled helplessly.

The queen guessed that Princess Qixin should know the significance of this matter, but she didn't say it, presumably taking into account the position of the seventh princess. The queen's heart has increased the favor of Princess Qixin by another point.

"Alright then, Qixin, you're here to play with your sister. I'm going back first, and there's a lot of work to do. ”

The queen got up to leave, and at this time the pastries were also delivered, and the queen personally put the pastries on the table in front of Qi Xin.

"Let's eat more. Whatever you want to eat, let the kitchenette do it. ”

Qi Xin took the queen's snack and nodded again and again,

"Thank you for your mother."

Before leaving, the queen glanced back at Princess Qixin who was eating pastries and Princess Qixin who was looking at Princess Qixin with a gentle face, and a sadness suddenly rose in her heart.

Qi Xin and Qi Shui are as old as they are, and the difference between the two is one year old. There are many things that I have to contact with together, and I know how to deal with national politics and people. But her daughter is still pure and good, and she doesn't know how hard it will be in the future. Maybe what is coming is a test, and without her father's protection and her own perseverance, what will she do?

The Seventh Princess didn't know that her mother had thought so much about her. Princess Qixin, who was still there looking at the sweet food, thought that she would add it to Northern Qi in the future, and she would definitely ask someone to bring back the delicious food of Northern Qi to her.
