Chapter 498: Rubbing Rice

"You feel very sorry for your imperial brother." Xibao was a little helpless.

"Uh...... He is my imperial brother, my elder brother, how can I not feel distressed, if it is you, if Zhao Shangshu or General Zhao has a dispute with his wife, will you turn a blind eye? Qi Zhe tilted his head and said.

"Less to change the subject, the nature of this matter is different." Xibao disagrees.

"What's the difference? Ay...... But it's because the imperial brother is the honor of the Ninth Five, and this matter is also a major event in the imperial court, and the imperial brother just doesn't tell you that it should be, but he is still worried, afraid that something will happen to you, otherwise he will not keep the white ape by your side, no matter what the situation is, you are not allowed to leave, little sister-in-law, I know that you are angry with the imperial brother for concealment, but is it because of this incident that you and the imperial brother have to offset the previous affection? Qi Zhe made the topic more serious.

"Hey......" Xibao should have listened to Qi Zhe's words, and sighed again and again, but did not speak.

"Little sister-in-law, I know that you are angry in your heart, but you are angry and hurt your body, and in the end it is you who is uncomfortable, but the distressed is the imperial brother and his old man, you two love each other, why bother to stalemate over this matter, besides, the imperial brother is now the most vulnerable time, you have added a lot of strength, the imperial brother is really having a hard time this day." Qi Zhe said truthfully.

He ...... What happened to him? "Xibao has been a little ignorant of Qi You these days.

"Hey...... The imperial brother first dealt with a prince and a sister-in-law, the queen mother and the queen can give up, these days are to disturb the royal brother in a different way, in order to intercede for them. The royal brother is going to be annoyed to death these days. Qi Zhe mentioned the matter of the Queen Mother and the Empress.

"The holy decree has been issued, the execution has been decided, no matter how much they can't shake the emperor's heart, right?" Xibao said uncertainly.

"It is quite difficult to make the imperial brother change his mind, but even so, the imperial brother is unbearable, after all, you also know the matter of Qi Shen, and now the queen mother is also at the end of the road, losing completely, and faintly has to be a little disregarded. I heard that the queen also had a quarrel with the queen mother because of this. And the Queen Mother has the intention of abdicating. Qi Zhe told everything he had heard these days.

"Aren't the queen and the queen mother aunts and nephews? Why the dispute? "Xibao is interested.

"It's not because of Qi Shen and the second prince, the queen always thinks that Qi Shen has affected the second prince, and I heard the royal brother say that the queen has never known the truth about Qi Shen. Later, the royal brother asked her to ask in person. That night, the queen and the queen mother appeared and quarreled fiercely. Later, both sides invited a doctor, it seems. It seems that they are all angry. Qi Zhe sighed and said.

"The queen has not known? How is this possible, she is the Liu family! "Xibao doesn't believe it.

"Hey...... A family may not be a heart, and besides, this matter is a secret in the palace, and it is not easy for anyone to talk to whom. Qi Zhe touched his mouth and picked up a tea ceremony.

"Hey...... In this way, the queen is still a poor person. Xibao was a little unbearable.

"Hey...... Sister-in-law, to be honest, the queen is indeed a little innocent, although ...... Although she once felt sorry for you, but in the end, she was also implicated in this matter, and now Liu Ba has suffered a stroke and is recuperating, the second prince has just woken up from a coma, and the queen mother has no thoughts, and it is quite uncomfortable for the queen to be caught in the middle. "Qi Zhe has always been mediocre with the queen, he doesn't hate it, and he doesn't like it much.

"yes...... Although the emperor is open to the Liu family, in this case, the Liu family is not far from overturning. Xibao shook his head helplessly.

"Hmm...... To be honest, now that I think about it, it really feels like a dream, the Liu family used to be the largest family in the previous dynasty, and there were two queens in a row, it can be said that it is the best in the world, and the power is tilted towards the government and the opposition, but now it is only more than ten years of hard work, and it has also decayed like this, hey...... The big things in this world are really incomprehensible. Qi Zhe rarely sighed so emotionally.

Xibao looked at Qi Zhe's rare serious appearance and smiled: "Hehe, when did you become so emotional?" ”

"Hey...... Maybe it's because I'm old, I'm just thinking about the past in my heart, hey......" Qi Zhe is still serious.

Xibao couldn't help but laugh and said: "Cheng Chengcheng, you are in the prime of life, and you are embarrassed to talk about your age, and you are not ashamed." ”

"Oh, little sister-in-law, I'm not very old, but I've been squeezed enough by the royal brother over the years, how can I not be old!" Qi Zhe raised his eyebrows in protest.

"Huh...... You...... Don't let the emperor hear this, I won't make it up for you when the time comes. "Xibao has a bit of a hatred for iron not being made of steel.

"Hehe, that's natural, as long as the little sister-in-law doesn't say it, the royal brother won't know." Qi Zhe looked cunning.

Xibao was very helpless, so he could only glance at Qi Zhe slightly and asked, "What is going on with the Queen Mother?" ”

"Hey...... Qi Shen was imprisoned and abolished, didn't the queen mother have no thoughts, but now she has seen it, and said that she would ask the imperial brother to abolish her position as the queen mother, saying that she wanted to accompany Qi Shen to leave Beijing and fulfill her mother's responsibilities, which made the imperial brother very big. Qi Zhe was a little helpless.

"The Queen Mother is threatening the emperor?" Xibao is very perceptive.

"But no, the queen mother just lost completely, there is nothing to lose, uh, I just don't care, but threaten the royal brother, but the imperial brother is merciful, this matter is not a simple trivial matter, the imperial brother will not agree to it anyway, the queen mother will ask every day, hey......" Qi Zhe disagreed with the queen mother's behavior.

"The Queen Mother's remorse came too late, Qi Shen is afraid that she has already hated the Queen Mother because she has fallen into such a situation, how can the Queen Mother still ......" Xibao was in a trance.

"Yes, the imperial brother and I also think so, it can be seen that Qi Shen's resentment towards the queen mother is no less than that of the imperial brother, even if the queen mother is willing to go, but this does not mean that Qi Shen is willing to accept it, besides, this abolition of the queen mother is a major event of the imperial court, and there is no precedent in all dynasties, isn't this embarrassing for the imperial brother." Qi Zhe sighed and said.

"Hey...... Dowager...... Hehe...... Presumably, the emperor will not let her get her wish, once this is the case. The dusty old things in the period of the first emperor will be revealed, and the position of the emperor's concubine will be questioned, although it will not shake the country, but these rumors are afraid that they will hurt people a lot, and it is inevitable that some people will have any crooked ideas in the future. Xibao analyzed.

"Yes, so the royal brother is also very difficult." Qi Zhe said.

"It's been ten days, why haven't you carried out your will to expel Qi Shen from Beijing?" Xibao was puzzled.

"This ...... First, because the second prince has just woken up from a coma, and his body is still very weak, and second, isn't it about to get married. The royal brother didn't want any accidents. Therefore, he arranged a wedding and then carried out his will. Qi Zhe explained.

"It's still half a month." Xibao muttered to herself.

"Yes, Su Wen also said that this half a month is enough for the second prince to recover, after all, the royal brother has already passed the second prince under the name of Qi Shen. This is also going to leave Beijing. Qi Zhe said.

"Hey...... So long. No wonder the queen. The queen mother will bother the emperor. Xi Bao laughed.

"Hey, that's all the kindness of the imperial brother, if you change me. I'll just kill them, and there's nothing to do with it. Qi Zhe still felt that his imperial brother was making trouble for himself.

"If he is really like this, he will not be Qi You, and he will not be the saint today." Xibao still knows Qi You very well.

"Hey...... That's right, but it's good that he's bored alone, and this kind of thing is not a good thing, but the royal brother still has to worry about me, hey...... I'm damn ......," Qi Zhe felt a little sorry for himself.

"You, here you are again, the emperor is your imperial brother, you should be going to share his worries and solve problems, a family, how can you still talk about two families." Xibao disagreed.

"Oh, what my sister-in-law said, you want me to feel sorry for the royal brother, but haven't you been angry with him for a while, you are his beloved, you don't feel sorry for her, why do I have to be tired of myself, it's not fair." Qi Zhe turned back to the topic.

"You! Okay, Qi Zhe, you're going around in circles complaining about me. Xibao was a little angry, and his eyebrows were raised.

"Oops...... Little sister-in-law, how can I mean that, besides, I don't have the guts, but you first asked me to feel sorry for the emperor's brother, so I said this, and besides, this is indeed the truth, aren't you angry anymore? Qi Zhe continued to dig the pit.

Xibao was blocked by Qi Zhe's words, and he couldn't retreat, so he could only stare at Qi Zhe with a deep glance and snort: "You kid, this ingenuity has been used on me!" ”

"Hehe, thank you sister-in-law for the compliment, don't you dare!" Qi Zhe raised his eyebrows and said happily.

"Huh! Say you're fat, you're really panting, where can you hear that I'm praising you! Although he said it angrily, this Xibao obviously had a smile in the corner of his eyes, and Qi Zhe could see that it was a joke.

"Hehe, little sister-in-law, I still learned this trick from you, I call it learning and selling, hehe, don't be angry, otherwise I won't say anything if I don't complete the task, and I guess I will have to be kicked by the imperial brother again." Qi Zhe said with a smile.

Xibao shook his head helplessly and said, "You, you...... Ay...... I think you can't help it...... Ay...... Although I am annoyed by your concealment, but now that a few days have passed, I am just about the same as if I am angry, and besides, Yan'er is about to get married, I don't have so much spare time to sulk, it's done, don't stuff your mouth full of snacks, it's not that you don't have to eat, you will leave your stomach for lunch here for a while, this sweet will eat too much and your stomach will be sour. ”

"Hey...... Burst! When Qi Zhe heard this, he immediately spit out a piece of dim sum that had just been handed into his mouth and said: "It's still the little sister-in-law who will feel distressed, this will eat a snack, my teeth are really a little uncomfortable, hehe, since the little sister-in-law has spoken, then I will rub it at the little sister-in-law for lunch today." ”

After speaking, Qi Zhe picked up the teacup and drank a big sip for a long time, then spit it into the cup on the side and said, "Little sister-in-law, do you want to invite the imperial brother to come over and eat together?" ”

Xibao raised his eyebrows slightly and said: "You also said that this is a private matter between us, and it is better to solve it privately, otherwise if I say something insignificant and not serious in front of you, your imperial brother will not look good on face, and you will not be able to stand it." ”

"Well, yes, yes, my sister-in-law is very thoughtful, Nacheng, since my sister-in-law has already understood in her heart, then I won't talk nonsense, hey, hurry up and order the meal, I'm already hungry." Qi Zhe knew that Xibao had already seen it, and his heart was not so entangled and worried, but he had returned to the appearance of a yuppie.

Xibao glanced at him helplessly, and then ordered Wenqin and them to set the meal...... (To be continued.) )
