Chapter 192: Visiting 2 as a Gift
Xiao Rui didn't have anything to do with it today, and if he didn't give his grandfather a satisfactory answer, his grandfather would definitely not be perfunctory.
She's had enough to do, can't he let her worry?
What did he want to do with his grandfather as a gift? Friendship with grandfather? But is it necessary?
Xue Qingyi pursed his lips and said a few more words to Xiao Rui in his heart.
"Yes, yes, yes, grandfather, I will tell you honestly, until you are satisfied, and you will drink. If the food and drinks are cold, I simply won't talk about it. Xue Qingyi played tricks in front of Xue Qingshan.
Xue Qingshan glanced at Xue Qingyi with disgust, took a sip of the wine cup, and sandwiched another chopsticks dish. Xue Qinger also picked up the chopsticks, picked up some green vegetables, and ate it with white rice.
Xue Qingshan didn't eat much, but he stopped his chopsticks after a few bites. Xue Qingyi saw that his face was sad and sullen, and asked, "Grandfather, are you unhappy?" ”
"Today I went to the main hall to meet His Majesty, and asked His Majesty to let me go back to the Yamada, but His Majesty had no answer."
Xue Qingshan glanced at Xue Qingyi and said, "Qingyi, the Nine Emperor Princes are about to enter Beijing, do you know about this?" ”
Xue Qingyi naturally knew about this, she was curious why her grandfather asked her about this, no matter from which point of view, the matter of the Nine Emperors' entry into Beijing had nothing to do with her.
Her face turned pale and she asked suspiciously, "Azu, I heard about this, could it be that His Majesty has other arrangements for the Nine Emperor Princes?" ”
"Your Majesty, let me take good care of the Nine Emperor Princes." Xue Qingshan looked at the fruit wine in front of him, but his thoughts drifted far away.
Today, Emperor Detai left aside his ministers and called him to the main hall alone. The words of Emperor Detai on the main hall seemed to still be in my ears, "Aiqing, I know that you have worked hard. But I am the only one by my side who can help me. My sons are not angry. Especially the crown prince, who is mediocre and incompetent, and the eldest prince is stubborn and ruthless. The third prince is cowardly and timid, and the other princes are still young. Seeing that my body is getting worse day by day, I don't feel at ease with anyone in this world. ”
After saying this, Emperor Ted's face showed a rare smile, and he continued, "But fortunately, I still have Xiao Jiu. I don't know what the character of this little nine is, and whether he can take on a big responsibility. Moreover, Xiao Jiu has been away from Beijing for many years, and he had a lot of misunderstandings about Concubine Ming back then. I'm worried that he doesn't have a good affection for me. ”
It's not the same if you keep it around. Who in the royal family has true feelings, Xue Qingshan thought in his heart.
"Your Majesty is thinking too much, Your Majesty is in the prime of life, and she will live a long life. The Nine Emperors have been smart and well-behaved since he was a child, and he must have grown up to be almost there. Majesty don't worry. ”
Emperor Detai let out a long sigh and said to him, "I hope so." ”
After speaking, the words changed and said, "Aiqing, when the Nine Emperor Princes were children, I heard him mention Aiqing's granddaughter, what is her name, Tsing Yi, right?" Now she should be almost in time, she and the Nine Emperor Princes have had a friendship since childhood, this time the Nine Emperor Princes are back, you let them go everywhere. The Nine Emperors have been away from Beijing for many years, and they don't have many friends in Beijing. Aiqing will take care of one or two more, and when this happens, I will let you go into hiding, Aiqing, what do you think? ”
Xue Qingshan was shocked when he heard it at the time. With a panicked face, he said, "For the minister, worry, your majesty should rest assured, and for the minister, you should take care of the Nine Emperor Princes wholeheartedly." ”
What can you do otherwise, he is His Majesty, he is just a courtier, of course he can only obey.
Xue Qingshan didn't mention Xue Qingyi, he looked at Emperor Detai in the main hall through the corner of his eye, he closed his eyes slightly, his expression was natural, and he couldn't see anything unusual, but Xue Qingshan's nerves were tightened, and his heart was even more shocked. The information revealed by Detai's conversation with him was too scary, was he thinking about supporting the Nine Emperors to fight against the crown prince? There is also Tsing Yi, why did he mention Tsing Yi, and mentioned the friendship between Tsing Yi and the Nine Emperor Princes. Could it be that His Majesty took a fancy to Tsing Yi and intended to match the Nine Emperor Princes and Tsing Yi. Thinking of this, Xue Qingshan was dripping in cold sweat.
His Majesty made it clear that he was going to pull him into the turmoil of seizing the heir, and in just a few breaths, the placket on Xue Qingshan's back was soaked with sweat, but he lowered his head and didn't even dare to take a breath.
Emperor Detai saw that Xue Qingshan avoided talking about Xue Qingyi, but he didn't embarrass him anymore. Anyway, the coming day is long, and there is no hurry, wait for Xiao Jiu to come back, ask his opinion, and then think about it in the long run.
The main hall fell silent all of a sudden, and after a long time, Emperor Detai opened his slightly closed eyes, and looked intently at Xue Qingshan, who was hanging his head in the main hall, his cloudy eyes flashed with essence, "Aiqing, I heard that the heirloom book of soldiers is now in the hands of Xiao Rui, the second room of the Ningguo Mansion, what do you think of this matter?" ”
Xue Qingshan folded his hands and said in fear, "Your Majesty, the heirloom of soldiers has been properly kept by the ministers, and it has not been leaked to anyone, and there is no trace of touching. For the minister to think that someone is maliciously spreading rumors, please be aware of it. ”
Emperor Ted picked up the teacup, took a sip of hot tea, looked at the old courtier in front of him, and said, "Of course I believe in Aiqing, but only the five of us knew about the military book back then, and now that there is such a mistake, I have to ask clearly." If I know who is behind the ghost, I will be severely punished. Detai Di slapped the case, his eyes showing ruthlessness.
Xue Qingshan's heart skipped a beat, and he always felt that something big was about to happen, and the days of blood and rain were about to start again?
Xue Qingshan ended the conversation with Emperor Tide in panic, and returned to the Guogong Mansion with a nervous expression, unexpectedly seeing Xiao Rui who had been waiting for a long time as soon as he arrived at the Dingguo Mansion.
Xue Qingyi looked at Xue Qingshan, who was in a trance, and exclaimed, "Azu, why does Your Majesty want you to take care of the Nine Emperor Princes?" His Majesty knew that his uncle's family was counting on the crown princess. Are you the crown prince again? He specified that he wanted you to take care of the Nine Emperor Princes, and he clearly wanted to drag you into the water. Majesty, it's really sinister. ”
Xue Qingyi's words brought Xue Qingshan back from his trance, he looked at Xue Qingyi and opened his mouth quickly, and said, "Qing'er, don't talk nonsense." Is that something you can discuss? Beware of misfortune from the mouth. ”
"Qing'er can save it, Qing'er remembers Azu's teachings."
Xue Qingshan sighed slightly, and said, "Entering the hall today, His Majesty asked about the Book of Soldiers, and also mentioned Xiao Rui, His Majesty already has doubts in his heart. ”
"Grandfather, the matter of the military book will not be leaked by Xiao Rui, there is no need for him to be cocooned." Xue Qingyi twisted his eyebrows and said.
"Of course Grandfather knows, but the key is whether His Majesty believes it or not. Do you know what kind of courtesy Xiao Rui sent to our house today? (To be continued.) )
