190 A few thoughts
It's a pity that his true face is so unbearable......
Ah Qin gave her a letter, a letter from Xuanwu Yicheng instructing the people of the Southern Sect how to behave, she recognized the word, the dragon flying and the phoenix dancing, chic and arrogant, it was the flamboyant handwriting of Xuanwu Yicheng!
At that moment, she Su Muli had to believe it!
"I'm going to ask in person!" Su Qi gritted his teeth and said.
Xizhimen lit up the palace lamp at night, it is the octagonal beauty palace lamp, the old woman who guards the courtyard is still the queen mother who serves when she is the lady at home, and then she was sent to Xizhimen because of fate, I heard her say that this is the habit of the queen mother, and at night you always have to light an octagonal beauty palace lamp outside the courtyard of all parties.
Even outside Murong Qin's small study, it was no exception.
Shao Gong kept watching the figure of the old woman leaving out of the small courtyard, and then closed the window and walked over, he continued: "Recently, the wind in the imperial capital city has become tighter, and the official road is that the five countries are about to congratulate, and His Majesty intends to step up the patrol of the imperial capital, and as far as the old slave knows, in addition to the day and night change of the guard from the previous once every three hours to the current once every two hours, the rest of the number of people, the layout has not been moved, the Xishan camp is in the suburbs, and the imperial service came to report to our Majesty but did not make any moves, But the Flame Division's recent actions have been frequent......"
Murong Qin's face was as calm as water, he played with the blue and white fine porcelain Ru kiln tea cup in his hand, and asked casually: "Then what does Shao Gong think his father means by this move?" ”
Shao Gong was stunned by the question, and he didn't know how to answer for a while, "Old slave...... The old slave is stupid...... I just know that there is an anomaly ......"
Words flicker!
Murong Qin put down the blue and white fine porcelain teacup in his hand. It is not a light or heavy move, but the bottom of the cup touches the cup, and the crisp sound of "ding" is particularly harsh in this quiet summer night.
"When did Shao Gong not make such a word?" Murong Qin asked coldly.
Shao Gong knelt down with a "plop", but did not urgently beg for mercy, but straightened his waist and said calmly: "The lord has been meddling in the affairs of the harem too much recently, and the old slave thinks it is extremely inappropriate. It is up to His Majesty to decide. Why did the lord step in to help the deep palace woman in the Molian Palace get rid of her crimes? Hiding a pregnant woman outside the palace wall and wanting to exchange a tanuki for the prince is a big crime to deceive the king and destroy the door, but now the secret guard has not yet fully grasped the connection between the palace and this matter, why is the lord so eager to throw such important clues to the Flame Division? The palace has always had a close relationship with the former prince. Back then, it was even more incompatible with our Huo Mansion. If this matter can take advantage of the fake pregnancy of Molian Palace to compete for favor, the palace will be taken off the water. Wouldn't it be better? ”
"What's more, today is the day when the Duchess and the seven ladies of the Su family move back to the Imperial Capital General's Mansion, and there is an endless stream of noble wives and ladies who go to congratulate them, and they are accompanied by the county lord of Qiling. Although the general's mansion is lenient and busy, none of the women who went to the palace are not human spirits, and why is it so difficult for the lord to dare to go in such a hurry? If it is recognized, will it not be a waste of all its efforts? The old slave thought that His Royal Highness King Xuan, regardless of identity, status and talent, was the most outstanding aristocratic prince in the imperial capital, and he and the seven ladies of the Su family were a pair of beautiful people made in heaven. ”
"Forgive the old slave for saying something unpleasant, the lord and the seventh lady of the Su family have no fate, since they are destined to be unable to marry in this life, why can't the lord fulfill others......"
"Presumptuous!"
There was an angry roar, followed by a crisp sound of "clang", and the tea cup of the high-grade blue and white fine porcelain Ru kiln shattered to the ground.
Murong Qin's face was pale, he gasped, gritted his teeth and said, "Go out, you...... Get me out! ”
Shao Gong's face darkened, and he sighed lightly and said: "The old slave obeys the order, the nine leaves and seven flowers have been boiling for an hour, and the old slave will go and bring it to the master." ”
With that, Shao Gong walked out of the small study lightly.
Murong Qin breathed a long sigh of relief, and fell in vain on the large open chair carved by Nanmu, his face discouraged......
Today, as soon as he heard that Xuanwu Yicheng would go to the Imperial Capital General's Mansion before three o'clock in the afternoon, he couldn't sit still anymore, his mind was full of the scene of Ah Qi being tightly held in his arms, so clear and profound, he didn't even have time to find a credible excuse and hurried out of the Ziyun Mountain Stream, Uncle Mu's grandfather's words were still in his ears,
"If you can't let go like this, why ...... bother?"
At this moment, he Murong Qin also wanted to ask, why did he suffer if he couldn't let go like this? As long as he cultivates for another two months, he will definitely be able to break through the sixth layer of dawn, and then he will be able to control the soul recipient as he wants, and he will no longer have to suffer from this soul devouring feeling, but why is he reluctant to further cultivate recently, why is he so afraid of breaking through the sixth layer of dawn?
Can't you let it go?
What Shao Gong said is not right, in addition to being born with a good skin, Xuanwu Yicheng has a little bit of eye-catching, identity, status, although he is the future prince of Xuanwu Kingdom in name, but now under the praise of his father and emperor for many years, the playboy of Xuanwu Yicheng is happy every day, how can he still have the appearance of a future prince! Besides, it is still unknown whether he will be able to return to Northern Xuanwu in Xuanwu Yicheng in the future, and now I am afraid that he is very likely to stay in Dayue Kingdom to be an idle and rich prince in this life.
Brilliant?
It's even more ridiculous, in addition to the famous Qinglou in the five countries of the mainland, he left some crooked poems and sentences that are not in the stream, is there anything else?
What's more, the ghost witch Liji curse and killing technique in their Xuanwu royal clan has not yet been solved, even if Ah Qixia marries him in the future, won't he be able to have a child of his own in this life and this life?
Ah Qi likes children so much, if he can't be a mother in this life, wouldn't he be heartbroken?
Which idea of Xuanwu Yicheng is worthy of his Ah Qi!
Murong Qin's face sank, and he closed his eyes in pain for a long time.
And at this moment, unlike the hesitation and sorrow of Xizhimen, the top floor of the Green Ant Building of Xuanwang Mansion is red-faced!
Su Qi shook off the jade porcelain bone wine jar, and with a "bang" sound, it splashed at the foot of Xuanwu Yicheng. The blue-green Suzhou and Hangzhou straightened the air and suddenly became a deep and light shade of green.
"Your Highness!"
Gu Bi called out worriedly.
With a wave of Xuanwu Yicheng's hand, Gu Bi and another attendant had to retreat softly.
It wasn't until the golden silk nan wood carved door "creaked" that Su Qifang glared at him viciously, and said angrily: "You want to protect even the heads of the Nanren faction, Xuanwu Yicheng, you are really bold enough, aren't you afraid that I, Su Muli, will inform Your Majesty?" ”
When Xuanwu Yicheng heard this, the evil spirit chuckled and said leisurely: "Please!" ”
Hearing this, Su Qi laughed, yes. This is the arrogance of his Xuanwu Yicheng. He has always been so arrogant, how could a benevolent emperor be able to suppress it?
"Okay, very good, I, Su Qi, came to leak like this today just to ask for an explanation. Since you, His Royal Highness King Xuan, have hands and eyes to the sky. Why do you want to borrow the hand of the Molian Palace to kill me? Why did the southerners send such a clumsy trick as a jade bead on Qi Ling's birthday, and a poisonous silver needle was soon over? And you jumped down so pretendedly, who are you playing for? Could it be that he would take this opportunity to stab the old emperor Rende. Let his old man know in advance that there is such an excellent rival as you? ”
Speaking of this, Su Qi's smile became brighter and brighter, "It turns out that I have experienced life and death three times recently, but it is just a play, His Royal Highness King Xuan is really a good chess player, if it weren't for Qi Niang's recent investigation of one or two, I am afraid that I would not know that I was played by His Royal Highness King Xuan like this." Your Royal Highness doesn't have to take such pains for Su Qi's entry into the palace, since you want to use Su Qi's face and body to please the old emperor of benevolence, how can you say that you should also be angry with this girl, and it was the murder of the official ship and the assassination of the birthday banquet, which made Qi Niang tremble, how can she still be obedient? His Royal Highness's hegemony of reviving the Xuanwu Empire has not yet been completed, and I am afraid that this beauty plan will take some time!"
"In that case, Xuanwu Yicheng will depend on how you come to please this girl!"
After speaking, Su Qi smiled coldly, flicked his sleeves and turned around without hesitation.
At this moment, staying for one more second, she Su Qi felt extremely uncomfortable.
Behind him was a chuckle, followed by a familiar voice, with the usual nonchalance.
"Su Muli, you just have a face that is seven points similar to your mother, but the rest is useless, no matter how beautiful the king's plan is, there is no need to come to you as a girl!"
"The head of the Nanren faction is Baoding, as for the murderer, you still have to find the one in Molian Palace to settle the account!"
As the words fell, a figure dressed in green flashed out the window and disappeared in a blink of an eye.
Su Qi turned around in disbelief, how could there be any figure of Xuanwu Yicheng, it was just a piece of broken porcelain and a room full of wine......
That day, in the middle of the night, Qi Ling woke up in a dream, and when she opened her eyes, she saw the drunken green-clothed figure on the Qinglian weaving gold soft couch in the inner room, she was startled, and hurriedly sat up, and was about to scream loudly, but there happened to be a sound in the room.
Hoarse, low, like a voice that comes out of the throat.
"Qi Ling, she hates me......"
Qi Ling was shocked when he heard this, and rubbed his eyes in disbelief before he could see the figure on the drunken soft couch.
"Xuanwu...... Brother? ”
For a long time, there was no response.
"Brother Xuanwu?" Qi Ling summoned again.
After seeing the true face of the green-clothed figure, she couldn't sit still any longer, jumped out of bed, grabbed a cicada wing thin quilt and carefully covered Xuanwu Yicheng, and asked with a frown: "It's late at night, Brother Xuanwu is here to do something?" ”
There are many organs in the Golden Scale Courtyard of the Eldest Princess's Mansion, even if the Flame Division comes in full, I am afraid that I will not be able to break in safely, it is rumored in the rivers and lakes that there are thousands of gold, silver and jewelry hidden in this courtyard, but there are many thieves in the middle of the night, but no one has been able to break in so far, and Xuanwu Yicheng is an exception.
When she was a child, Qi Ling didn't remember when she was young, she only remembered that Brother Xuanwu would always come to her yard from time to time by night, at first because Xuanwu Yicheng was not good at the art of Qi Huang Liujia, and would always bump into this and that, but later this phenomenon became more and more rare, only occasionally Xuanwu Yicheng was too drunk, and even standing was a problem before he stumbled in, but no matter how drunk Xuanwu Yicheng was, as long as he felt uncomfortable, he would run over.
Sometimes it is to avoid the femme fatale arranged by the emperor's uncle, sometimes it is to avoid the pursuit of the rivers and lakes, but more often it is to pay tribute to his parents......
Not in front of Emperor Rende, not in front of the Empress Dowager. I can't do it in front of thousands of courtiers in Dayue, so I can only come to her Qiling to complain, or sit quietly and cry......
It's just that today, under the bright lights, the corners of Brother Xuanwu's eyes are red.
He muttered, "Qi Ling, she hates me......"
Qi Ling's hand shook, and his face was terrified.
Fortunately, there were no other words coming from the next, and when Qi Ling looked again, Brother Xuanwu had already closed his eyes and slept peacefully.
She carefully covered the thin quilt for Xuanwu Yicheng. Fang Cai sighed and said, "Brother Xuanwu, why are you so troubled. said that she liked it, but her actions were the opposite, Qi Niang didn't know if she had you in her heart, but she couldn't tolerate half a grain of sand in her eyes, but it was true. You save the Southerners. It was a grain of sand planted in the corner of her eye. How can she not hate? ”
"Brother Xuanwu, you still don't want to be obsessed, it's just embarrassing yourself like this......"
Qi Ling was reincarnated and re-burrowed into the bed. She didn't see a drop of tears slipping down the Qinglian weaving gold soft couch, and in an instant, it was gone......
The case of the assassination of Su Muli of the Imperial Capital General's Mansion was finally concluded, the Xi Mama of the Molian Palace chased his life experience and his mother turned out to be the descendants of the Southern Barbarians, because he was assigned the assassination mission by the Nanpai a few days ago, and the Xi Mama was executed by Ling Chi, and the old man Wang was also specially called to the imperial study by the old emperor Rende because he did not know people clearly, and he was severely reprimanded by the old emperor Rende, and listened to the aunt who served the tea in front of the emperor said that the eldest master of the Wang family finally fled with a disgraced face, but the one in the Molian Palace was not implicated in the slightest because he did not know it at all.
The matter of fake pregnancy finally came to light, the original old palace people of Molian Palace were completely replaced, even the Tai Hospital was reshuffled, the grassroots doctor who was saved by the princess of Molian Palace has long disappeared, as for those pregnant women who are privately raised outside the palace walls, they are still being taken care of, and those who have a home have been sent back unscathed, and those who have no roots continue to stay in the courtyard to give birth, and the mother-in-law is still the same.
When Su Qi heard the news, the heart hanging in his chest finally fell.
She is most afraid of hurting the innocent, those pregnant women are basically more than six months pregnant, and now is the critical moment of pregnancy, but she can't be implicated because of the matter of the Molian Palace, if there is anything in case, I am afraid that it will be one corpse and two lives!
Fortunately, the old emperor of benevolence is still benevolent.
Banxiang complained that he couldn't export his evil anger, but Chu Qing didn't think so: "I will be imprisoned in the deep palace for a lifetime, and the days when life is worse than death have just begun, so this evil breath will be handed over to time!" ”
Banxiang frowned and asked: "Give it to time, what can time do, it's not like our lady can't take revenge?" ”
Su Qi, who was listening on the side, said appreciatively: "Chu Qing is right, time is the best poison in the Molian Palace, why should we rush it!" ”
Since he knew that there was Chu Qing who went to find him in the Ink Pear Garden that day, Su Qi's trust in her rose several steps, and she paid more and more attention to this extraordinary girl in her daily life, but found that although Chu Qing was withdrawn and didn't like to talk, her brain was really very good, she knew what she couldn't think of, and sometimes it was the reason why Granny Chensu couldn't understand that girl could also know, just like the punishment of the one in the Molian Palace, Banxiang only knew how to complain, but Chu Qing was in a word, And it coincides with the thoughts in my heart.
Su Qi's gaze at Chu Qing became a little more eager.
A piece of land was reclaimed in the back garden of the General's Mansion, flowers and trees were removed, and living water was brought in, and it was busy until the end of June before the scale appeared, but at this time it was the hottest time of the year, and the old lady of the Wang family said this hot day when she came to visit the last time, and someone moved the melons, fruits and vegetables planted by Mrs. Su in the palace, and Mrs. Su was happy, and she responded without saying a word.
Although Su Qi thought it was inappropriate, he couldn't stand his grandmother's enthusiasm, so he could only give up, but he had to walk around the palace more often in his spare time in the future.
At the invitation of Mrs. Su, the Queen Mother came to the Imperial Capital General's Mansion on the last day of June under the sun, in addition to Su Qi and Mrs. Su, as well as Qi Ling, Xu is looking at Su Qi recently, although Qi Ling is still very arrogant, but the daily style of action is no longer as arrogant and willful as before, for daily trivial matters are slowly acting with Su Qi, just take the tea and pour water, there are a lot of palace maids waiting on weekdays, how can you use Qi Ling, a valuable county leader?
After watching Qi Ling pour fragrant tea steadily, the Queen Mother has not been able to recover from the shock for a while.
Qi Ling saw it, covered his mouth and sat on the side with a coquettish smile.
The Empress Dowager took a sip of tea and said: "These days, you always run to the General's Mansion, even if you go to the palace to visit the imperial grandmother, it is too time-consuming. ”
Qi Ling became more and more confident this time, she said happily: "Well, the imperial grandmother and others should not only watch it carefully, but also taste it well, Qi Ling has spent a lot of time and effort, but just wait for the imperial grandmother to say hello!" ”
"Oh!" The Queen Mother's eyebrows lit up, and she asked more and more curiously: "What a good thing, it is also worth showing off in front of your ghost girl, hurry, go and present it!" ”
"Okay!" Qi Ling replied with a smile, grabbed Su Qi's hand and said, "Sister, go with my sister to take a look, today's imperial grandmother is here Qi Ling is afraid of making a mistake, but she still needs her sister to help keep an eye on it!"
Su Qi saw Qi Ling smiling so naturally, so he had no choice but to nod and follow her.
Looking at the figure of the two walking away, the eyes of the old lady of the Queen Mother flashed with a strange brilliance.
After a while, a plate of tomatoes mixed with sugar, a plate of vinegar and cucumbers, a plate of sweet and sour radishes, and a bowl of warm sesame Buddha tea were presented one by one.
The red tomatoes still have the soup, the green cucumbers are sour and crisp, the white radish is moderately sweet and sour, and the sesame Buddha tea is even more fragrant and pure.
The Queen Mother drank three bowls in succession, if it weren't for the reminder of the jade grandmother beside her, I am afraid that she would still be reluctant to put the bowl.
The boredom of not thinking about eating and drinking due to the summer heat was swept away earlier, but now he was refreshed, and waved his big hand and said: "Today's dinner mourning house is used in the General's Mansion, you send someone to inform the emperor, and the imperial dining room does not need to be troublesome." ”
Mama Yu looked hesitant, but in the end she didn't say more than half a sentence, but the waiting father-in-law still asked, "Lafayette, Your Majesty is used to going to you at the end of every month, if it is ......"
The words behind him are that he doesn't dare to say it no matter how many heads he has, if he wants to be the queen mother, he is afraid that he will not have this blessing in the next life.
The Queen Mother's expression was already displeased, Su Qi's sharp eyes quietly pinched Qi Ling, and the girl jumped out, pointed at the eunuch and said, "The imperial grandmother asked you to go back, you will go back, what's there to talk about, why don't you go quickly?" ”
The little eunuch only resigned to the "yes" and withdrew.
The Empress Dowager asked with great interest everything Qi Ling had learned in the General's Mansion these days, especially when she learned to cook cold dishes, dim sum and home-cooked side dishes with Su Qi, the smile on the Empress Dowager's face was about to overflow.
In the end, she nodded at Mrs. Su and said: "The girl's family, you should learn to cook like this, be a female red, what is the meaning of beating and killing all day long, Su Qi, this child is good, Qi Ling is by her side, and there is the Duchess of the country to guide her, and the mourning family is even more relieved." ”
Mrs. Su wanted to get up and salute in a panic, but was stopped by the Queen Mother, "In terms of age, the Duchess of the Kingdom is only three years younger than the mourning family, we are all such old people, and some false etiquette does not have to be too particular, just those words are the truth, since the mourning family can rest assured that the girl Qi Ling will be handed over to your house, it is naturally more reassuring, and you and I don't have to be so particular in the future, Qi Ling and Qi Niang are sisters, you don't have to be so scared anymore." ”
In the end, Mrs. Su responded "yes" with a smile.
Sure enough, the conversation became more and more natural.
The Queen Mother and the Duchess of the Kingdom are both strong women in their bones, but in the past, they were just because they had not had much contact and did not talk deeply, but now they have such a detailed exchange, many points of view coincide, and in addition to surprise, the Queen Mother even pulled Mrs. Su and did not let go.
It wasn't until late at night that Mama Yu repeatedly reminded her of the curfew, and the Queen Mother reluctantly returned to the palace with the sour melons and fruits prepared by Su Qi.
Emperor Rende was relieved when he heard the news, and said to Bi Fuquan: "I know that Su Qi's girl is smart, and her mother is so virtuous, how can she be so bad?" ”
"In the future, if the Queen Mother wants to go out of the palace, you can rest assured at any time, you go and tell the two grandmothers secretly, don't mention the Queen Mother about this, she is old, if you feel that the palace is boring, it is natural to go out for a walk."
Bi Fuquan has long been a human spirit, how can he not hear the meaning of Emperor Rende's words, so he naturally happily responded "yes" and went to pass the word.
So, within two days, the Queen Mother was supported by the lord of Qiling and stepped into the gate of the General's Mansion. (To be continued.) )
