Chapter 145: The Concubine
Thoughts quickly swirled in his mind, but Xie Ning hesitated for a moment. She helped Qin Feng train the soldiers, others did not know, and there was no emperor's will, if she rashly said it at this time, I am afraid it would make Qin Feng's already trapped situation even worse. But if it was just under the guise of her teaching Qin Feng to ride and shoot, it would be really difficult to call everyone
Xie Ning felt more and more in a dilemma against the gaze that gathered from all directions, knowing that under the passage of time little by little, no matter how silently she delayed, it was just a futile struggle, so she "poofed" and knelt heavily on the smooth ground made of jade.
If the words are unreasonable, they have no choice but to plead guilty.
Unexpectedly, before she could say anything, Qin Feng also got up and came out, knelt beside Xie Ning in his robe, raised his head and said, "The son is at fault first, and I ask my father to punish him." ”
"What's wrong with you?"
The emperor's voice came, Xie Ning's heart tightened, and he didn't dare to look at Qin Feng beside him, but he said calmly when he heard his tone: "Erchen was ordered to lead the troops to suppress the bandits, but he suffered from no experience and did not dare to travel rashly. ”
Qin Feng's voice paused, Qin Xi, who was sitting in front of the desk, couldn't help but secretly glance, and one of the people at the table bowed down and said righteously: "His Royal Highness King An's words, does it mean that you secretly trained the troops with Miss Xie before you went to Yandi?" But the recruits are called, and they are under the jurisdiction of the Ministry of War, and Your Majesty has not decreed, how do you mobilize your troops? ”
What this person said is exactly what Shainin is worried about. The reason why she was hesitant. It is precisely because of this that I thought of it. But Qin Feng has always been thoughtful, she listened to the other party's wishes like a palace banquet, and never thought about anything at all, and now seeing that the charge of privately transferring troops fell on Qin Feng's head, she hated herself for not thinking well before, and it was just in vain.
When the mountains and rivers recover, they will also meet the willows and flowers. In case Qin Feng had already planned...... With a little hope in his heart, Xie Ning listened carefully to Qin Feng's reply-"What Lord Chen said is exactly what Erchen is wrong. Father, when you sent this messenger to your son. He also made a promise to his sons. But all the ministers need. You can negotiate with the military department on your own, and you don't have to report again. And the first time Erchen led the troops, it was inevitable that he was apprehensive, so he borrowed your golden words. Coerced Lord Shang Shu Xiao of the Ministry of War to transfer troops to me. deliberately hidden from everyone's sight. Invite Shainin to train himself secretly. ”
At this point, Qin Feng, who was kneeling on the ground, bowed down and said loudly: "The son has not been informed. It was indeed out of selfishness, and he cut it first and then played it, and asked his father to punish him. ”
Hearing him explain his mistakes, Xie Ning's heart tightened, and while everyone's eyes were on Qin Feng, he glanced up without a trace, and secretly looked at the emperor, but he only saw a face that was indistinguishable from anger.
When she looked up, she was nervous, although she didn't squint, she didn't dare to look closely, except for a bright yellow robe, there was nothing else in her eyes. And at this time, this invisible glance up was the first time she saw the true face of the saint today. But seeing that the emperor sitting on the throne of the golden carved dragon looked down expressionlessly, a pair of bright eyes only looked at Qin Feng alone, eagle eyes, sword eyebrows, eight-character beard, although the eyebrows were somewhat similar to the princes under him, but there was an extra kind of momentum that was not angry and self-threatening, and there was no need to deliberately suppress it, it had already made everyone in awe.
He didn't speak, and the atmosphere in the hall became more and more depressing. When the audience was speechless, a crisp children's voice came from the high platform, and the silence was broken in an instant-"Father, although the third brother is at fault, but there is also a reason, Yandi is very chaotic, he acts like this, but it is also excusable, and the son also asks the father to read the third brother's meritorious work in suppressing the bandits, and punish him lightly." ”
This voice was not unfamiliar, Xie Ning only heard a few words, and he already knew that it was Qin Ze who said. Just as he was about to look up again, he saw someone standing up in the desk on the side, but it was Qin Hou, the king of Kuan, who only heard him say earnestly: "Yes, father, what the sixth brother said is quite reasonable, and I ask my father to think about it again." If your father insists on punishing the third brother, the son is willing to be punished with him. ”
As soon as King Kuan's voice fell, someone on the high platform answered: "Your Majesty, what the two princes said does have some truth. The Third Highness cut first and then played, although it was a little reckless, but now he came to ask for guilt, but he can be regarded as knowing his mistakes and being able to change them. According to what the concubines saw, it was enough to deal with it lightly. ”
This voice is delicate, and there is no doubt that it is a woman. Xie Ning's heart moved, so he raised his eyes without a trace, and looked in the direction of the sound, but saw a richly dressed beauty sitting on the emperor's side, and the person leaning on the other side of her was the sixth prince Qin Ze.
After the afterglow swept to Qin Ze's figure, Xie Ning already knew the identity of this woman. Although separated by distance, she could also sense a little bit of autumn waves from her delicate voice.
It is rumored that her titular aunt is quite favored, and even the status of the Marquis of Jingyang has risen with it.
But for some reason, Xie Ning always felt that Uncle Hou's attitude towards his sister Gao Guifei was very alienated and not enthusiastic.
As soon as Concubine Gao's words fell, a chuckle came from the stage, but it was the emperor.
Xie Ning's heart tightened, and he couldn't help but secretly look forward to the other party's next words. Before long, I heard the laughter that filled the hall: "I haven't said that I will be punished, but one or two of you have pleaded for him." It's just the Mid-Autumn Festival. He who deserves to be rewarded will not be punished. The two of you will be seated first. Let's wait until after the feast to discuss this matter of reward and punishment. ”
"Yes."
As soon as Qin Fengfu exited, Xie Ning also cleverly followed. When the two of them got up from the ground, Qin Feng took advantage of the unpreparedness and threw a look at Xie Ning without a trace.
The two had their own tacit understanding, and Shainin followed him forward willingly. With the title of His Royal Highness King An, Xie Ning also enjoyed the feeling of sitting at the front of the palace banquet.
To tell the truth, the three of them came suddenly today, and they can really be called uninvited guests at the Mid-Autumn Festival Palace banquet. After their stirring, I don't know how many people should swallow their saliva when they look at the exquisite dishes on the table. It's a shame that the saint hasn't been angry today, otherwise I'm afraid that there will be another incident.
Xie Ning didn't know that the banquet in this palace was just for fun. It's like a noble girl in Beijing, socializing and socializing, but it's just a face friendship, that is, no matter how exquisite the food is on the table, I'm afraid they won't take a second look.
Looking around, there was no one in the entire Wenxiu Hall who was in a state of feasting. (To be continued.) )
