Qi Zhengzhi was carried into the imperial study.

He forced himself to get up from the stretcher, ready to salute Emperor Yuan Cheng.

If it were on weekdays, Emperor Yuan Cheng would definitely let him continue to lie down, and the ceremony would be waived.

But today, Emperor Yuan Cheng didn't say a word, just watched him struggle on the stretcher so coldly, wanting him to suffer more.

Emperor Yuan Cheng didn't speak, and the little eunuch didn't dare to step forward to help.

Qi Zhengzhi struggled for a long time before he finally stood up tremblingly, but his body was slumped, his forehead was full of sweat, and his back was also sweaty.

He sweated not only because of the pain, but also because of the embarrassment and embarrassment of facing Emperor Yuan Cheng.

After getting up from the stretcher, he knelt down and bowed to Emperor Yuan Cheng.

After saluting, he stood up straight with his hands on the ground, and after such a toss, Qi Zhengzhi's legs were already weak, and he suspected that he would fall down at any time.

"Holy Lord, what are your instructions for summoning Wei Chen?" Qi Zhengzhi asked respectfully.

The breath is uneven, and the tone is weak and weak.

Emperor Yuan Cheng pretended to be surprised and asked, "What kind of disease does Qi Aiqing have?" How could it be so difficult to walk, and it was so hard to even speak.

Chen Lu, hurry up and ask the imperial doctor to come over and take a look for Qi Aiqing. ”

The last sentence was addressed to Chen Lu.

"Huh!" Chen Lu complied and turned around.

"Thank you for the love of the saint, Weichen has seen the doctor and is taking medicine, so there is no need to ask for a doctor." Qi Zhengzhi hurriedly said.

Chen Lu stopped and looked at Emperor Yuan Cheng.

Emperor Yuan Cheng shook his head solemnly, "I see that Qi Aiqing is not lightly ill. It must be that the doctor's prescription is not right. ”

As he spoke, he waved his hand at Chen Lu and motioned for him to hurry up and ask for a doctor.

Chen Lu didn't dare to delay any longer. Go to the doctor immediately.

Qi Zhengzhi was stunned immediately.

When the doctor came to check, he would find that he had a wound on his buttocks, and the beating would be known to everyone. What kind of face will stand in the world in the future?

was taught family law by the Ma family, and Qi Zhengzhi did not feel embarrassed when he was in the Anning Hou Mansion, because he always thought that he was wronged, and everyone in the Hou Mansion knew that he was wronged. But outsiders don't know the reason inside, and they will definitely take it for granted that being legally committed by an expert is a serious mistake, how can he explain it to others?

Unexplainable!

Did he want to tell others that his father had also been beaten by the family law? Not only was he beaten, but Hui Niang also made trouble with him...... can't say it, everything can't be said, and the ugliness of the family can't be publicized.

In the spare time of waiting for the Imperial Doctor to come. Qi Zhengzhi just stood like this. Emperor Yuan Cheng didn't give him a seat, nor did he speak, he just looked at him like that, just to stay up with him.

Qi Zhengzhi stood there like a year, and for the first time, he didn't want to see Emperor Yuan Cheng.

Finally, Chen Lu personally brought Imperial Physician Wang in.

After Imperial Physician Wang saluted Emperor Yuancheng, he looked at Qi Zhengzhi and asked, "I don't know where Lord Qi is unwell?" What are the symptoms? ”

Qi Zhengzhi pursed his lips. said, "I accidentally fell the day before yesterday. When my buttocks hit the ground, I felt unbearable pain and couldn't walk after being lifted up......"

"Can you let the old man take a look at the affected area?" Imperial Physician Wang asked again.

"Doctor Lao can prescribe some medicine to dissolve stasis and relieve pain." Qi Zheng said busily, euphemistically refusing to inspect the injury.

As soon as you see the wounds, the lies will be exposed.

Imperial Physician Wang didn't understand Emperor Yuan Cheng's thoughts, and when he saw that Qi Zhengzhi refused to examine his injuries, he didn't force it, after all, it was also a private place, and it was normal for Qi Zhengzhi to refuse.

Imperial Physician Wang nodded, and when he was about to prescribe medicine, Emperor Yuan Cheng spoke, "Qi Aiqing, it's not okay to use medicine casually, give the injury to Imperial Physician Wang to see, and prescribe the right medicine." ”

Emperor Yuan Cheng opened the golden mouth, where could Qi Zhengzhi refuse, and his mouth was full of bitterness.

Chen Lu quickly ordered the little eunuch to erect a screen to separate the imperial study from a private space.

Qi Zhengzhi bent his waist and staggered behind the screen with Imperial Physician Wang.

When Imperial Physician Wang saw the whip marks on his body, he was shocked.

This is someone who has been beaten!

Emperor Yuan Cheng was sitting outside the screen, Qi Zhengzhi didn't dare to ask Imperial Physician Wang to hide it, and Imperial Physician Wang didn't dare to tell a lie to Emperor Yuan Cheng.

Qi Zhengzhi just wants to find a hole to burrow into and hide at the moment, and never show up in the world again.

What a shame!

The two quickly came out from behind the screen.

"Imperial Doctor Wang, how is Qi Aiqing's injury?" Emperor Yuan Cheng asked with a concerned face.

Imperial Physician Wang glanced at Qi Zhengzhi, and then said to Emperor Yuan Cheng, "Your Excellency, fortunately, Lord Qi only injured the flesh and skin, and did not touch the muscles and bones. ”

Thankfully, nothing else was mentioned.

Qi Zhengzhi breathed a sigh of relief.

"Oh, that's great." Emperor Yuan Cheng bowed his head slightly, and after a while, he suddenly asked again, "Is Lord Qi's injury really a fall?" ”

Qi Zhengzhi immediately looked at Imperial Physician Wang, his eyes full of nervousness.

Imperial Physician Wang hung his head and replied, "Your Majesty...... Wechen looked at the scar like a whip wound, not a fall......"

Rumble!

Qi Zhengzhi's mind exploded, and his fair face suddenly turned red.

"Oh." Emperor Yuan Cheng bowed his head lightly and waved his hand at the imperial physician, "Let's go down first, don't mention today's matter to others, if someone asks about Lord Qi's injury, you say that it was a fall, can you understand?" ”

"Yes, Wechen wrote it down." Imperial Physician Wang hurriedly kowtowed, and then hurried out of the imperial study.

Chen Lu covered the door and retreated.

There were only two people in the room, Emperor Yuan Cheng and Qi Zhengzhi.

Qi Zhengzhi bent his knees and knelt down in front of Emperor Yuan Cheng, "Thank you for covering up for Weichen." ”

"Tell me, what's the injury?" Emperor Yuan Cheng asked knowingly.

"I was taught family law by my mother." Qi Zhengzhi lowered his head and responded, his face had turned the color of pig liver.

"Practiced family law? What did Qi Aiqing do? Emperor Yuan Cheng asked again.

Qi Zhengzhi secretly gritted his teeth, suddenly looked up at Emperor Yuan Cheng, and said, "This matter has something to do with the Nine Princes. ”

"What does it have to do with Xiao Jiu?" Emperor Yuan Cheng's eyes flashed.

"Enlighten the saint, this matter was not mentioned to the saint. I'm afraid that the saint will be sad, since today's words are here, Weichen has the courage to say a few words. Qi Zhengzhi said seriously.

"Say it." Emperor Yuan Cheng's face returned to calm. I'd like to hear what he has to say.

"Shengshang, Weichen's father is old, and he has returned from a serious illness, and the whole house was originally happy, but the nine princes were pampered and arrogant, regardless of the begging of Weichen's whole family, and beat the minister's father to ......" Qi Zhengzhi looked sad. began to accuse Ji Mo of what he did.

But as soon as his words fell, Emperor Yuan Cheng said, "Good fight!" Xiao Jiu did the right thing! Your father will continue like this. The Marquis of Anning's Mansion will be destroyed in his hands as soon as possible, and it will be too late to regret it. ”

"Holy Lord, you ......" Qi Zhengzhi looked at Emperor Yuan Cheng in surprise, a little unable to believe that these words came from his mouth.

"Lord Qi. You keep saying that Xiao Jiu is pampered and arrogant. Doesn't that mean I'm looking at the wrong person? Emperor Yuan Cheng sank his face and said, "Do you know where Xiao Jiu is now?" ”

Qi Zhengzhi shook his head slightly.

"Xiao Jiu has now gone to the northwest to attack Tuyu Country for me! He fought bloodily for the country of my Great Wei and the people of my Great Wei in front, but you scolded him here for being pampered and arrogant, wouldn't your actions chill the hearts of my Great Wei soldiers, and you still claim to be a loyal minister of my Great Wei, I see that you are a stupid minister who is extremely confused...... "Emperor Yuan Cheng took the case and pointed at Qi Zhengzhi angrily.

Since the appointment of Qi Zhengzhi as an official, I think. This was the first time that Emperor Yuan Cheng was angry with him.

And scolded very hard.

Qi Zhengzhi didn't know that Ji Mo led the troops to go on the expedition, and he knew that this was the case. He must not dare to say that Ji Mo is not.

At present, he was scolded by Emperor Yuan Cheng so that he was in a cold sweat behind his back, and quickly kowtowed to confess.

Ji Mo's weight in Emperor Yuan Cheng's heart was far greater than he imagined.

The holy will is unpredictable, and the companion is like a tiger!

Qi Zhengzhi's experience of these two sentences at this moment is deeper.

Just when he thought that it would be difficult to escape punishment today, Emperor Yuan Cheng said, "For the sake of the fifth girl of Qi, I will spare you for the crime of gaffe this time, if I hear you slander Xiao Jiu like this next time, I will not spare it!" ”

What the?

Did the saint spare me because of the face of the rebel girl?

When did the rebel woman have such weight in the heart of the saint, what virtue did she have, and how could she make the saint so important?

Qi Zhengzhi's heart set off a turbulent wave, and he couldn't believe that what he heard was the truth.

Emperor Yuan Cheng knew what he was thinking when he saw his expression, and couldn't help but roll his eyes secretly, and said, "Lord Qi, don't be born in a blessing and not know the blessing, Qi Wu is a good girl, you have such a daughter is your blessing, you should be proud, but don't wait until you lose it to know that you regret it." ”

"Yes!" Qi Zhengzhi nodded mechanically.

But in his heart, he didn't admit what Emperor Yuan Cheng said.

Seeing him like this, Emperor Yuan Cheng knew that he would also play the piano to the cow if he continued to talk, so he said, "I summoned you to the palace today because there is something I need you to do, Lord Qi is a loyal minister of my Great Wei, so take care of your injuries first, and then go to the southeast to observe the people's situation on my behalf." ”

"Yes, Wechen obeys." Qi is responding, I don't know whether I am happy or worried.

It is a supreme honor to be able to observe the people's feelings on behalf of the emperor.

But Qi Zhengzhi was a little unhappy, and always felt that Emperor Yuan Cheng's arrangement was also based on Qi Miao's face, if so, wouldn't he rely on his daughter to be an official in the court, rather than really talented, this ...... What is this called?

How could he not accept this fact.

But when he thought about it carefully, Emperor Yuan Cheng was not a mediocre person, and such a major decision was by no means made for the sake of Qi Miao's face, but still based on his own ability.

At the same time, he was also eager to try, thinking that this was a time to show his talents, and he must do this well.

Emperor Yuan Cheng made this decision for two reasons.

One is that he wants Qi Zhengzhi to leave the Hou Mansion of Anning for a period of time, and if he is not in the Hou Mansion, Qi Miao will not be wronged again.

The second is that there are indeed some problems in the southeast, and according to his upright character, there should be gains.

Half a month later, after Qi Zhengzhi recovered from his injury, he declared to his family that he was in a bad mood and wanted to go out to relax, so he left the house.

Before leaving the house, he went to Haitang Garden.

Since the Shen family proposed to make peace, he let him move out of Haitang Garden, and even mentioned to him about taking a concubine, but he angrily refused.

Shen is choosing fabrics with Yun's mother, preparing to make summer clothes for Qi Miao's brothers and sisters.

When they saw him coming, they politely saluted him and continued to be busy. Ignore him no more.

"Ahem!" Qi Zhengzhi cleared his throat in embarrassment and said, "Hui Niang." I...... I'm going to be out for a while, and you'll have to worry about it at home. ”

"Master, please rest assured, before I leave, this is my duty, and I will definitely do my best." Shen replied very respectfully.

At the mention of Heli, Qi Zhengzhi felt stuffy in his chest, and his mood instantly dropped.

His tone couldn't help but be cold. "Probably won't be back soon."

Shen Shi responded, "The Great Wei River is picturesque, and the master should walk around." When he returns, everything is arranged by the master himself. ”

There was no reluctance, not even asking him where he was going, and not worrying about his safety, Qi Zheng was depressed to the extreme.

He doesn't know if he can get his wife's heart back?

"That's right. And I left. Hui Niang, take care of yourself. After Qi Zhengzhi finished saying this, he brushed his sleeves and left.

Shen's lips pursed tightly, but the movements of his hands did not stop.

Mother Yun glanced at her and said in a low voice, "I don't know where the third master is going?" How could you think of going out for a walk, why didn't you mention bringing your wife with you? ”

Shen raised his eyes to look at Mother Yun and smiled, "Mom, what are we doing with these things?" He's not a three- or two-year-old child, so we don't have to worry about where to go. ”

Mother Yun can only sigh in her heart!

If only he had gone far before. Madame had prepared everything for him early, no matter how big or small. They were all well thought out, and they would never let him suffer the slightest bit on the road.

Shen's face was calm, and Qi Zhengzhi was already dead.

Even if he was punished by family law, even if she wanted to reconcile with him, he didn't see him say half a soft word to his daughter, he still didn't think that he had done anything wrong, and thought that the fault was his daughter.

She really didn't want to live with him anymore, otherwise she and Miao'er would be by him sooner or later.

Qi Zhengzhi walked out of Begonia Garden with a depressed face, feeling that there was turbid breath blocked in his throat, and he couldn't swallow it and couldn't spit it out, which was very uncomfortable.

When he was about to reach the second gate, he saw Fleur standing there beautifully, looking at him.

Seeing him coming, the corners of Furong's lips pursed slightly, and the lotus step moved lightly, walking towards him gracefully.

Before the man arrived, he could already smell a pleasant fragrance.

"Rong Rong!" Qi Zhengzhi greeted him with a smile.

"Third brother is good." Fleur gave him a salute.

"Rong Rong, what are you doing standing here? It's sunny outside, and it's very sunny. Qi Zhengzhi said with concern.

"It doesn't matter." Furong smiled, then pursed her pink lips lightly, and said softly, "I heard that the third brother is going to go far away, and Rong Rong didn't sleep well all night yesterday. In the house, except for my father, the third brother treats me best, and Rong Rong is so reluctant. ”

There was a little grievance in the soft tone, and the expression was innocent and coquettish, like a child who was coquettish with adults.

Qi Zhengzhi's mood couldn't help but soften, and he temporarily forgot about the previous unpleasantness.

He smiled softly and said, "After I left the house, my father will take care of you and tell the third brother what you like to eat and play, and the third brother will bring it back to you when the time comes." ”

"I don't want anything, as long as the third brother returns safely." Fleur pouted and shook her head slightly, and said thoughtfully and warmly.

"Rong Rong ......" Qi Zhengzhi's eyes turned red.

It turns out that it is so touching to be cared for and cared for.

The corners of Fleur's lips curled slightly, and she asked, "Third brother, where are you going?" ”

The smile on Qi Zhengzhi's face faded, he let out a long sigh, and said, "Your third sister-in-law treats me very indifferently now, I want to go out to relax, and I don't dare to upset her in front of her all day long." Maybe when I come back, your third sister-in-law will be as angry as ever, and she will be reconciled with me by then. ”

Although touched by Fleur's concern for him, he still didn't dare to reveal the real itinerary to her.

Except for Emperor Yuan Cheng, he didn't tell anyone about the trip, and if he had done it before, he might have told it to the Shen family.

Fleur gritted her teeth lightly and said, "Third brother, it doesn't feel right for you to do this, since the third sister-in-law is not in a good mood, you should take the third sister-in-law out of the house to relax, instead of leaving alone, you will make the third sister-in-law misunderstand you even more." ”

Go with Hui Niang!

This is a good idea, the scenery outside is beautiful, and there is no interference from outsiders, no matter how sincerely I coax, Hui Niang is in a happy mood, maybe she can forgive me soon.

And Hui Niang is smart, maybe she can help me better complete the things assigned by the saint along the way.

Qi Zhengzhi was moved.

Seeing this, Furong said again, "Third brother, the third sister-in-law is not only beautiful and good-hearted. is also very capable, no one in our house does not praise the third sister-in-law.

And I can see that she actually has a deep affection for the third brother, and the mention and separation of the day was just a momentary anger. Not sincerely.

Third brother, girls like to be coaxed, if you say a few more soft words to coax well, the third sister-in-law will definitely be able to forgive you this time, blindly avoiding is not the way, third brother, you just listen to Rong Rong, it will never be wrong. ”

"Rong Rong. You make a lot of sense, why didn't I think of it, I'll go back to your third sister-in-law. Qi Zhengzhi nodded seriously. I agree with what she said.

As he spoke, he turned around to go back to Begonia Garden.

"Poof!" Furong couldn't help laughing, "Third brother, what are you doing in such a hurry, I still have something to give you." ”

"Huh." Qi Zhengzhi smiled a little embarrassedly. "What does Rong Rong want to give me?"

Fleur sighed softly. said, "Third brother, it's good to be at home for a thousand days, it's difficult to go out, it's not as convenient to go out as it is at home, and the third brother must pay attention to his own safety."

I didn't have anything good to prepare for my third brother, so I prepared some medicine and food. ”

Furong brought a small burden in the little girl's hand and handed it to Qi Zhengzhi. "As the weather gets hotter, there will be more mosquitoes. Occasionally, there may be a headache and brain fever, I have carefully written about all kinds of drugs, functions and usage, third brother, you can use it according to the instructions when you arrive, these drugs are very good. ”

Then she handed another big burden to Qi Zhengzhi, "Here are some dim sum, I deliberately got up early to make it myself, maybe the taste is not as good as the kitchen lady in the house, but Rong Rong's heart, please don't dislike it." ”

Holding the two packages, Qi Zhengzhi wanted to cry, and his heart was full of emotion.

He said sincerely, "Rong Rong, you are so thoughtful, the third brother doesn't know what to say to express his inner gratitude." ”

"Third brother, they are all brothers and sisters, what are you polite?" Fleur snorted.

Then she took out an object from her sleeve cage, held it with both hands and handed it to Qi Zhengzhi, "This is a peace charm made by my uncle, it was originally something I carried personally, and now it is given to the third brother to bless the third brother with peace and security." ”

This is a piece of peace charm carved from ebony, in the shape of a half-moon, engraved with some characters, Qi Zhengzhi recognized, it is written in Sanskrit peace and auspicious four characters.

"I can't take such a valuable thing." Qi Zheng hurriedly refused.

"Third brother, why are you so unhappy." Fleur snorted again, "Keep your head down." ”

Then she insisted on hanging the peace charm around his neck, despite Qi Zhengzhi's objections.

After finishing everything, Fleur smiled and said, "Let's go find the third sister-in-law." ”

Qi Zhengzhi is not only grateful to Furong at this moment, but also grateful, thinking that she is more kind and beautiful than the fairies in the sky, and the fairies are beautiful, but she is too indifferent because she does not eat the fireworks in the world.

Looking at Fleur, he couldn't help but play Qi Miao.

One is just a righteous sister, after learning that he was going to travel far away, she gave medicine to make snacks and send peace charms, but the rebel girl didn't even say a word to see him off, and there was still the existence of his father in her eyes.

Bad luck at home!

Qi Zhengzhi secretly gritted his teeth, and Qi Miao's hatred was a little stronger.

Furong saw Qi Zhengzhi go to Begonia Garden, the corners of her lips hooked slightly, and her autumn eyes were full of sarcasm and contempt.

Shen naturally rejected Qi Zhengzhi's proposal, so she didn't want to go out with him.

Seeing that she insisted on refusing, he didn't dare to force it, and left the Begonia Garden again sullenly, and then left the Anning Marquis Mansion.

This year, there is a lot of rain in the capital, and the whole month of May is almost spent in the rain, and in the blink of an eye, it is the sixth day of the first month of June, which is the traditional washing and drying festival.

There are customs in the capital such as inviting aunts, bathing, drying things, and appreciating lotuses.

Inviting an aunt means that each family will invite their married daughters back to their parents' homes, so that they can be entertained, regardless of the age of the daughters.

The weather on the sixth day of the first lunar month is excellent, with clear skies and bright sunshine.

The maids and ladies in each room and courtyard got up early and began to be busy, preparing to dry bedding and clothes.

It rained for too long, not to mention the sheets, even the clothes, which were sticky and wet on the body, which was very uncomfortable.

Lord Rong Zhao sent a post to Qi Miao early in the morning, inviting her and the Shen family to enjoy the lotus.

It just so happened that the capital was too far away from Yanguan, and the Shen family couldn't invite the Shen family back, so it was an excellent choice to go out to enjoy the lotus.

In fact, Shen didn't want to go out much, it was Qi Miao who persuaded her to go out and relax.

The matter of drying things has their own summer frost to arrange, so they don't need to worry about Qi Miao.

Qi Miao got up early in the morning to take a shower and change clothes, changed into clean and new summer clothes, and took a carriage out of the house with her mother and brother.

And the four mothers-in-law and daughter-in-law of the Ma family, the Liu family, the Yang family and the Wu family, also returned to their parents' house as guests today, and the three brothers Qi Zhengning also followed to Yue's house.

Only Qi Changxin said that he was not feeling well and did not go to Ma's house with Ma's family.

The place to enjoy the lotus is in the lotus lake in the north city.

The lotus garden of the lotus lake is planted with more than ten acres of lotus, there are countless famous lotus flowers planted on the vast water surface, there is a corridor pavilion specially for lotus appreciation according to the water, it is simple and elegant, and the green leaf powder lotus is contrasting with each other, it is a good place to enjoy the lotus.

Today, the Lianhu Lake is very lively, there are many people, and the laughter is constantly flying.

Qi Miao soon met the county lord of Rong Zhao and Yan Fanfeng and his wife.

Rong Zhao is seven months pregnant, her belly is very obvious, her face is ruddy, and there is a happy smile between her eyebrows.

It's just that there is another graceful and dignified lady beside them.

The noble lady was about thirty-four or five years old, with delicate facial features and a fair complexion like jade, Qi Miao had never seen her, but vaguely felt that she was a little familiar.

Rong Zhao smiled and pulled Qi Miao's hand, pointed to the noble lady and introduced, "Miao'er, this is Princess Jin." ”

Princess Jin, that is Ji Mo's mother! (To be continued.) )
