Chapter 171: Hats
He bowed his head slightly, but his cold eyebrows softened, like a smiling, "I hope this king is your only nobleman." β
"That's for sure! The prince also said that you are the only confidant of mine, and the prince is the only one in these positions. She tugged at the corner of his clothes and tucked it gently, "Lord Wang, don't divert the topic, the question I just asked you is very important, why did this riding and archery event move away?" What's going on? I'm counting on Frostgrass to win this event. β
"Isn't this because His Majesty is faint, this king has to postpone everything else, just to wait for His Majesty to watch the game for this king in person."
"Then let's hurry up and get ready. Lord, I'm so hungry, let's go eat first. β
"Okay, it's up to you."
After eating, Guan Qianyi went with her to meet Monk Qingyi.
Qingyi changed his clothes and went to the gray robe, he wore a white cloth placket, which showed a bit of elegance, but when Li Wei saw him for the first time, he suddenly laughed:
"Master Qingyi, you have a big light bulb on your head, do you want me to put a lampshade on you?"
Qingyi didn't understand what a light bulb was, and glanced at her inexplicably, "Is Your Majesty referring to Qingyi's head?" He reached out and touched it, and he smiled embarrassedly.
"The lampshade that His Majesty said is a gauze cover?"
"Your head is so bright, how can the veil cover it! Master Qingyi, what I said is that you should wear a hat. β
The three of them sat down, not embarrassed, but laughed and chatted while eating.
"That's right, Your Majesty still owes Qingyi a favor, it's better to give Qingyi a hat." Qingyi moved the cup in front of him, and then took the wine jug, poured her a glass of wine, and after pouring it full, he directly put the wine jug in front of the regent and motioned for him to come by himself.
treated so differently, Guan Qianyi was not dissatisfied, but Li Wei saw it. Directly picked up the wine jug, poured a glass of wine for his sweetheart, and then put the wine jug in front of the monk.
Qingyi was slightly stunned, and then smiled helplessly: The emperor likes the regent so much.
"Master Qingyi. You don't lack a hat, how can such a big personal favor be returned with a hat? β
"It's okay, I've never liked to bring more things, I have everything I want, and now I only lack a hat. Then the hat is the most important thing for me. Your Majesty can only be rewarded in person. β
"Master, you're not kidding, are you? If I really want to send a hat and a favor, this is a big deal, my lord, do we have to make a note. Li Wei couldn't believe it, but she didn't want to let go of such a good opportunity for him to give up asking for favors from her as the king of a country.
Qingyi almost squirted out a mouthful of wine, "Notes? Not really, right? β
Although Guan Qianyi didn't speak on the side, he was wanton by her, and occasionally looked at her smiling face, and he felt that his heart was full of alcohol. Speaking of which. Wei'er and this monk are still somewhat similar in temperament, but the monk is unrestrained, free, Wei'er has a strong sense of responsibility, and she was pressed by the throne to be more serious, but now it is good, and she was all picked out by this monk.
"Your Majesty doesn't have to be polite to him, there are still many people who have to worry about the master in the future. Yesterday's favor, I'm afraid the master still doesn't care about it. β
"Really?" Li Wei immediately changed into clothes with a very interested look, "Master? I heard the prince say that you are my nobleman. I want to detoxify me, does the master not ask for compensation and selflessly dedicate myself to Beichen Kingdom? β
Monk Qingyi's head was stunned, and he suddenly understood what idea this woman wanted to fight.
"Your Majesty, asking for a benefactor who might be very beneficial to you in such a naked way. Is that good? β
"Oh, so you still want to be paid, so let's say it." Li Wei retracted freely and looked at him with a smile.
Knowing that the other party was holding the direction of the words at the beginning, Qingyi sighed, "Your Majesty." Lord Regent must have told you, Qingyi is from the Sui tribe, although he seems to be free, but he also came to Beichen with the mission of the Sui tribe, and he wanted to wait for His Majesty to put Qingyi on the throne like worshipping God, but now it's good, since His Majesty said that this is a clear deal, Qingyi can only respond. It's just that Qingyi's request may not be able to be fulfilled now. β
"You say first, if there is no goal, how do I know which direction to work in?"
"This matter is not urgent, but Your Majesty, the poison on your body must be solved as much as possible."
"I can't ask for it, please detoxify the master."
It's really refreshing, the corners of Qingyi's mouth twitched, this woman's heart is clear, but she has been going around in circles with him, and when he can't help but mention the matter of detoxification first, she should take it smoothly and be really neat.
"The two of you should also know that this poison of the lock heart is not common, it should be said that it is rare. It was forbidden to appear in the palace and among the people a hundred years ago, and even if someone used it secretly, it was rarely discovered. But the lock heart poison was passed on from our Sui clan, so this matter must be thoroughly investigated. I heard from the Lord Regent, the person you suspect is the Kokukofu, right? β
Li Wei nodded, Guan Qianyi mentioned this matter to her, but she had her position, "We are only suspicious, and there is no definite evidence." If the Guogong Mansion really secretly contacted the Sui people, it was not impossible, but why the Cheng family did this, I can't think of a reason, unless, that Sui people can give him greater benefits. β
"What His Majesty said is good. Although my Sui clan has always been hidden from the world, but we know everything about the world, but we will never contact the family privately, and there will never be such a rebellious family child, if he is found out by Qingyi, he will not escape the highest family punishment. β
At this time, Guan Qianyi reminded, "The Cheng family is responsible for arranging the afternoon riding and archery competition." The king has learned where they have done their work. β
"In this way, in this afternoon's riding and archery competition, Qingyi hopes that His Majesty XiΓ can perform a scene."
"It's okay to act, my favorite, but let's detoxify me first." Li Wei stared at him.
There were a few hearty smiles from Qingyi in the courtyard.
It is forbidden to set up a ban on the 100-mile hunting ground in Kyoto's Nishijo, and those who do not have tokens are not allowed to get close. Guards alternately patrolled the entrance.
Cheng Zhongjun and Cheng Diansi were both dressed in military uniforms, followed by a few guards, arrived at the gate of the riding range, got off the horse, showed their waist cards, and asked a soldier next to them, "Has Your Majesty arrived?" β
"Your Majesty and the regent have come for a tea time."
The grandfather and grandson also unarmed their weapons and entered the arena. Cheng Diansi followed closely beside him, his lowered eyebrows a little depressed.
"Dandan. Cheer up, Your Majesty is inside. β
"Yes, Grandpa. But the grandson had an idea. β
"You say." Cheng Guogong slowed down slightly, he also knew that this granddaughter had always had her own opinions. In addition to spending a little more thought on Cui Yan's kid, other opinions can be listened to.
"In the opinion of the grandson, His Majesty has a better relationship with the regent, so why don't we change the target to the regent? If something happens to the regent, His Majesty will definitely be even more flustered. β
"Hmph. Dan'er is worrying about His Highness the Seventeenth? But how could people have treated the Cheng family as family? He now only has his imperial sister in his heart, where can he think of us. Since he is so ruthless, we don't have to be polite. If he can understand the importance of our Cheng family through this incident, it will also be a harvest. β
"But, Your Highness, heβ"
"Okay Dan'er, I know you're distressed, but if you change to Guan Qianyi? Hmph, how could he be so easily fooled? You just have to do your best to hold off the official, and leave the rest to the others. β
Cheng Dandan didn't reply for a moment, and finally had to say yes.
The Royal Racecourse is huge. A month ago, the temporary riding range was remodeled, the wooden piles and fences were reinforced, and the viewing stairs were refreshed.
This is the test of three nobles from each of the two countries to take on the field, challenge the riding and archery, within ten laps of the horse, the performance includes equestrian, target shooting, or their own added national events, and accumulate points for the project. The one with the highest total score wins. The country with the highest total score of the three will eventually win. And get the national treasure promised by the other party.
The Xiyu Kingdom mission was led by the elders and Lian Meiren, and the number of people was much higher than yesterday. In the middle, a few people were carrying a valuable, which was slowly being transported to the center of the stand.
"I've seen Your Majesty." Dozens of people saluted.
"Get up." Li Wei and the center of the stands, please ask them to come up.
"Your Majesty came early. Presumably I have more confidence to win today? The old man sat down and said a pleasant greeting. Lian Meiren sat next to him, and couldn't help but glance at Li Wei a few times.
Since she found out that this majesty was actually the young man who was fighting with her on the street that day, she actually had a nightmare last night, dreaming that this woman laughed at her fiercely and held Guan Qianyi's hand. laughed insolently, startling her into a cold sweat. Today, she saw her eldest brother Yi sitting beside the woman, although there was no intimacy in her expression, but she just felt as if she was being ridiculed, and tightened her handkerchief, and she found that she had a little more hatred for this majesty.
Guan Qianyi's expression was slightly bright, and he glanced at Princess Lian, could it be that the killing intent in this woman's eyes just now? If he dared to think about His Majesty, he didn't have to talk to her anymore.
The national teacher laughed. This competition is your highlight. Our Beichen soldiers and horses are not as strong as Xiyu, and compared with you, we always lose more and win less, and I'm embarrassed to say it. β
"Your Majesty is modest, didn't you always say that you have no chance of winning yesterday? The result was a big win. "Speaking of the elderly, he is still very unwilling, he lost a game, his old face can no longer be saved, last night he held his body and energy to prepare for today's event, saying that he can't lose today.
"I never thought that those were all poured out by my subordinates, but I found some strange people for Beichen, and I was finally able to compete with you Xiyi, and it was not in vain that the elders prepared a lot, and they had a hearty race, didn't they."
The old man could only laugh awkwardly twice. He was naturally prepared, he originally wanted to win all the games, but he didn't expect to lose, not to mention, even the contract was changed, he thought about it all night last night, and felt that this was the most wrong thing he did! The young emperor in front of her, not to mention her cunning nature, also made people fall into the trap unconsciously and willingly, such a method is much more clever than that Tuxuan Majesty!
Thinking about it, it was all tears, and the old man secretly suppressed how many mouthfuls of rising evil breath.
Let's see if this competition can save face! He didn't believe that with his invincible riding and archery competition in Xiyi Country for many years, he could still lose!
"Your Majesty, why don't you take a look at what we've brought this time?"
"Please submit it."
The national teacher did not bring crutches today, he walked steadily, his hands holding the treasure were also very steady, he was dressed in a dark brown robe on the ground, and his wide sleeved robe was blowing in the wind, but he stood firmly in front of the stage and put down his tray.
He reached out and lifted the red cloth, revealing a copper-colored box.
I saw that his wrinkled hand took a small key with a straight hole, reached into the keyhole, clicked, opened the copper-colored box of the treasure, and a trace of blue ice light leaked out, until the box was all opened, and the plant that was deeply nourished by icicles and lingered with water vapor appeared, verdant and compelling.
"This is the treasure of the world that can cure strange poisons, Frost Grass. This thing can only grow on the cliffs of the alpine snow, accompanied by frost every day, and only the branches and leaves can see the light of day in the middle of the day, so there is only one hour of picking time in a day, and after picking, it must be preserved by polar ice and snow. There was a palpable pride in the old man's words.
The treasures that he can take out in the Xiyi Kingdom are so rare, it can be regarded as boosting the prestige of the country, if Beichen can't take out decent treasures to compare, it will be a shame!
The eyes of the people were staring, for fear of missing any of the changes that had appeared in such a treasure. However, it is obvious that the elder is very close to this thing, and does not let others get close to half a meter to watch.
Li Wei squinted her eyes slightly, it turned out to look like this? Looks like it's magical. If she could find out where and what shape it was, she would probably be able to replace it with something else that was exactly the same, but unfortunately they were too secretive and there wasn't enough time for her to make any moves.
Today, however, she is determined to get this frost grass.
Beichen said, "How do we know if it's really effective Frost Grass?" β
The old man said proudly, "The real frost grass will melt into water as long as it sees the sunlight for a moment. But such a precious frost grass, are you sure you want to pick a leaf to verify the authenticity? It is said that the absence of a leaf makes a big difference. β
At this time, Cheng Guogong got up and saluted Li Wei first, "Your Majesty, when Weichen was in the northern frontier, he had the honor to see the frost grass, and he learned how to distinguish the serious from the fake. β
Li Wei looked sideways, then nodded, and looked at the elder, "In this case, can you please ask the elder to make it convenient, and let Cheng Guogong take two steps forward to take a look." β
Although the elder was displeased, he still gave in a step.
Cheng Guogong dragged small steps and bowed closer, and glanced at the elder, and the meaning in his eyes was only understood by the two of them.
Cheng Guogong stood in front of the Frost Grass, looked at it carefully for a moment, nodded with a little meaning, and said to Li Wei, "Your Majesty, I heard that the Frost Grass generally has only nine leaves, and the more leaves, the stronger the effect. This frost grass has a full eleven leaves, which is a rarity, and if you want to verify it, it doesn't hurt to pick one. β
Li Wei nodded happily after hearing this, and looked at the elder, "As Cheng Guogong said, if you want to verify the authenticity, you must pick a leaf, what does the senior Guoshi think?" (To be continued.) )
