As Ling Yi expected, on the third day after Qi Hua was beheaded, more than half of the people in the early dynasty went to ask for instructions, hoping to make Qi Mo the crown prince.

First, there is only one suitable prince in the royal family, and secondly, this time Qi Mo has made great contributions to the crusade against Ningguo, and everything is so logical.

Emperor Qinglong hesitated for two days when he first received the request, but later more and more ministers began to show their support and support.

No one in the court objected, although this was what Emperor Qinglong was happy to see, but he didn't expect this day to come so quickly, first Qi Run was demoted to the common people, and then Qi Hua was beheaded to show the public.

Along the way, Qi Mo was more or less stained with his brother's blood, and Emperor Qinglong also asked him what he thought about this.

He wanted to hear Qi Mo say something that was in line with the future monarch, and Qi Mo did not disappoint him.

Righteousness and narrow-mindedness coexist, benevolence and ruthlessness are synchronized, decisive and decisive, and pitiful and sympathetic, everything depends on the development of the situation, as a monarch, you must make yourself a two-faced person, the front of the person is the benevolent king, and the person behind the person should be ruthless.

After more than ten days of continuous performance by the courtiers, Emperor Qinglong finally canonized Qi Mo as the crown prince at the request of everyone, and announced that the canonization ceremony would be held on the 20th of the following month.

The Mid-Autumn Festival is finally here in people's ardent anticipation, hanging lanterns, eating moon cakes, family reunion to enjoy the bright moon, and so on, not making people feel simple and boring, but because of the reunion with the family, even if it is boring nonsense, it is also happy and happy.

Fifteen moons and sixteen rounds. Ling Yi sat on the recliner and looked at the half-bright moon above her head, feeling that the old saying still made sense.

Gong Xiru sat next to her. handed her a piece of sweet moon cake and said with a smile: "Do you think the moon is not round enough?" ”

"Tomorrow will be round, what does it matter, round or not is a state of mind, people who admire the moon are in a good mood, it is naturally round and bright, and the mood is not good. Naturally, it was black and crippled. Ling Yi took the moon cake and ate it with relish, and her mouth was full of scum. Gong Xiru wiped the crumbs from the corners of her mouth with a handkerchief.

This is the first time Ling Yi has spent the Mid-Autumn Festival in the Hou Mansion, and it is also the first time that he has not spent the Mid-Autumn Festival in the Ling Mansion, Ling Shandao asked people to send a lot of things over, so that Ling Yi can take the time to go back to see him and the Lan family.

Ling Yi lay on her back. There was a moment of silence. He said softly: "Everything is done here, can you go back to your parents' house with me another day?" ”

Gong Xiru couldn't help laughing and said, "Do you still need to discuss this with me?" When do you want to go back, just tell me, it's not far anyway, or go back now? ”

The Gong family is not regarded as his own home Except for Teng Shuge, the Gong family can be regarded as non-existent, he is happy to regard the Ling family as his second home, not to mention Ling Shandao and the Lan family. He also really loves himself, and he is very happy.

Ling Yi sat up. With a smile, he said: "Anyway, only the two of us are a little lonely in this section, so let's go back now?" ”

"Okay, okay, as long as you like, go back now-" Gong Xiru stood up, asked Gong Sheng to pack his luggage, and ordered to bring something over.

Gong Sheng responded one by one, turned around and was about to pack his luggage, but saw the guards at the gate hurrying over.

"What do you want to report to Lord Hou and Mrs.?" He asked.

The guard glanced back, "Yes, His Royal Highness the Crown Prince has come down." This is already coming here. ”

Prince Qi|Mo? Gong Sheng is full of suspicions, at this time, every household is celebrating the Mid-Autumn Festival, it stands to reason that Qi, as the crown prince, should spend the festival with Emperor Qinglong in the palace, how could he come here?

Even if he is not the crown prince, he should be by the side of Emperor Qinglong?! Gong Sheng couldn't think of a reason, so he hurriedly went to report to Gong Xiru: "Master Hou - His Royal Highness the Crown Prince has come down." ”

Gong Xiru was slightly stunned: "Prince? Where are the people now? ”

"Here-" Qi Mo smiled and walked into the courtyard in the night, followed by Fuyuan and another eunuch, the smile on his face was the same as always, but at this moment, the matter of his coming to the Hou Mansion made people wonder what he was coming from.

"See His Royal Highness the Crown Prince—" everyone in the courtyard said respectfully.

Ling Yi stood beside Gong Xiru, respectfully blessed, just staring at his toe eyes, but revealing a strange shrewdness.

Although Gong Xiru was suspicious in his heart, he still showed a smile on his face, and arched his hand: "His Royal Highness the Crown Prince should reunite with the emperor in the palace at this time." ”

Qi Mo sat down with a grin, picked up a piece of moon cake and ate it, and said vaguely: "I asked my father for instructions, I want to go out of the palace to visit, you also know that the Mid-Autumn Festival outside the palace is called the Mid-Autumn Festival."

It's quite lively on the street, I didn't look for you, I knew that you must stay in the house, why don't you go out with ******? ”

Ling Yi didn't speak, and Gong Xiru explained: "As soon as it was dark, I went out for a walk, and then there were more people, and what I saw was not colored lanterns, but just people's heads, so I simply came back and wanted to be quiet." ”

Qi Mo nodded slightly, as if he had just found out, and said in surprise: "What are you all still doing squatting, hurry up, there are no outsiders, you don't need to be so polite." ”

Everyone thanked them together, and the subordinates stepped aside, Ling Yi secretly twisted her weak calves, she did a curtsy salute, and in just a moment, her squatting calves were numb and her thighs trembled.

"Sit-" Qi Mo pointed to the seat, and Gong Xiru and Ling Yi thanked them again and sat down on the side.

Gong Sheng brought the moon cakes and wine again, poured a glass for each of the three of them, and then retreated to the side to wait for orders.

Qi Mo swallowed the last bite of the moon cake and drank another sip of wine, then wiped his mouth with satisfaction, and talked about the purpose of his visit, "Actually, I came to you because I remembered to ask you for help - Mrs. Ling. ”

Ling Yi nodded slightly and was very respectful: "What does His Royal Highness the Crown Prince command, even if it is said, what the courtiers can do, they must be exhausted." ”

This was said very politely, Qi Mo could hear Ling Yi's estrangement from her, and she was very unhappy in her heart, according to the relationship between the two, she should not have made such an indifferent attitude.

However, he still didn't show anything on his face, but talked about his own affairs: "Actually, at this time, there is something I want to ask, Ling Wen is the house slave of the Ling Mansion, I want to ask you what you know about him?" ”

Ling Wen?! Ling Yi thought for a moment, and said with a slight smile: "Ling Wen is a good manager, and his mind is also smart, he has helped Ling Fu a lot, and now Moguan can't leave him, what does His Royal Highness the Crown Prince want to know?" ”

Qi Mo pondered for a moment before sighing, helplessly took out a brocade box from his sleeve, and did not shy away from it, and opened it directly.

The courtyard was dimly lit, but when his brocade box opened, a soft but translucent light shone out of the box, illuminating the entire courtyard as if it were day.

This is Ningguo's national treasure Qitian Dzi, and it is also what Ling Wen wants, **** took it in his hand, "If he were an ordinary person, he wouldn't know about this bead." (To be continued.) )
