Chapter 215: Old Friends Meet
In a moment, the big ship gradually approached the dock.
Looking at the ships that were getting closer and closer, and the faint figures on the deck, Yuan Twenty-five Lang of the Yuan clan of Chen County looked at the excited people around him, and sank his face.
Yuan Twenty-five has been very angry with her since she tried to threaten Ji Xian for her mother's illness to no avail, and later Yuan Xian's matter was exposed, and he was even more disgusted with Ji Xian. This time, Ji Ji is Ji Yue's matter was exposed, in addition to Yuan Xian's strength, Yuan Twenty-five was pushed behind.
Yuan Twenty-five looked at the ship that had returned from the scenery, and his heart was extremely unhappy. But he can only be unhappy, although he has no feeling for Ji, but Xie Lang, who is standing next to Ji, is what he has always been in awe. At that moment, Yuan Twenty-Five Lang snorted secretly, turned his head and ordered impatiently: "Okay, let's go." ”
"Yes."
While the donkey cart was moving, a trio vaguely heard the unhappy cold snort of his own Langjun from the donkey cart, "But a woman, if you offend me, the Yuan family of Chen Jun will also offend you......" There was too much depression in his voice.
In a few moments, the ship docked.
As the bow of the ship slammed down, the people standing on the pier retreated, and as soon as the ship was stable, the people on the deck retreated to both sides.
In the blink of an eye, Ji Ji and Xie Lang, who were dressed in Xuanyi, came out at the same time.
At this time, Ji Ji, wearing men's clothes, but her face was a woman's beauty, seeing her walking side by side with Xie Lang with a cold momentum, the onlookers made a buzzing noise.
Behind Xie Lang and Ji Ji, there are Xie Guang, Xie Cai and others. And that Xie Cai was holding a white and tender baby with a ninety percent similar face to Xie Lang. At this moment, the baby is holding his thumb in his mouth, and while sucking, he looks around with big eyes and black eyes, which is very cute.
So, some of the eyes turned to the baby.
At this moment, a team of officials strode over, led by Wang Zhen.
Wang Zhen looked good, and when he saw Ji Ji and the two, he paused. Turned his head to see the baby behind Ji Ji. He seemed to lose his mind for a moment.
In the blink of an eye, Wang Zhen walked up to Ji Ji and Xie Lang, and after saluting the two, Wang Zhen said politely: "Your Majesty knows that the two of you are coming. I was specially asked to come to greet me. ”
It was almost Wang Zhen's voice that fell. The surrounding warriors also came one after another. Those people were like seeing Ji Ji for the first time. After looking at her for a while, he turned to Xie Lang and saluted him.
It stands to reason that Xie Lang is no longer a descendant of the Xie clan of Chenjun now. The identity is still under these people, but the scholars subconsciously ignore these, and naturally treat Xie Lang respectfully.
In the excitement, Ji Ji walked to Wang Zhen on the side and said softly, "Don't be good?" ”
Wang Zhen looked at her with a smile and replied, "Everything is fine. In the blink of an eye, he added, "It's better now." ”
got his answer, and Ji Ji was relieved.
At this time, everyone was almost noisy, and at Wang Zhen's suggestion, Ji Ji and Xie Lang turned over their horses and drove towards Jiankang City unhurriedly.
…… Ten thousand empty alleys!
…… This is a real empty alley! Just like the envoy of the Northern Wei Dynasty who came to Jiankang, the current Jiankang people are also pouring out of the city, and countless people stand on the side of the road to watch Ji Ji.
But this time, Ji Ji was calmer than ever. She looked indifferently at the crowd around her, and for the first time she clearly felt that she had finally won a place in this world!
After walking for a while, Ji Ji and Xie Lang were about to part ways. Xie Lang was invited by Xie Saburo to take his son to the Xie clan of Chen County, while Ji Ji followed Wang Zhen into the palace.
In a blink of an eye, Ji Ji came to the palace gate.
Seeing Ji Ji coming, those guards showed a look of awe at the same time, and they all bowed their heads and opened the palace gate for Ji Ji.
Inside the palace gate, several ministers were waiting, and one of the ministers hiding behind was Liu Shu.
When Liu Chu glanced at Ji Ji's gaze, his gaze wandered for a moment, and immediately, when he looked at Ji Ji again, his elegant face was full of respect and close smiles.
Ji Ji took her eyes off Liu Chou and followed everyone towards the inner garden of the palace.
The emperor was waiting in the study.
After a while, Ji Ji sat face to face with the emperor, and almost as soon as Ji Ji sat down, the emperor waved his hand and asked everyone to retreat.
After a moment of silence in the study, the emperor, who was becoming more and more weak, coughed, and asked gently, "Ji Aiqing, have you ever hated me?" ”
Ji Ji raised her head, she looked at the emperor for a while, then slowly shook her head, and said slowly: "How can there be hatred?" It's just a little disappointing. ”
"Disappointed?" As soon as the emperor heard this word, a thin anger flashed on his majestic face, and in the blink of an eye, he restrained his anger again and said lightly: "Oh? For your husband's sake? ”
In the past, Ji Xi would have been afraid of Emperor Liu Song who had hidden anger, but now, she has the qualifications to be equal to this emperor! At that moment, Ji Ji bowed slightly, and said quite lightly: "Your Majesty has a little less tolerance and wisdom for him. ”
In the face of Ji Ji's ridiculous ridicule, Emperor Liu Song's face changed slightly, and after a while, he showed a smile again, waved his hand and said, "It's rare to meet Ji Qing, and don't talk about this." After signaling not to continue this topic, the emperor became serious, and after he lowered his eyes and coughed twice, he said slowly: "In Ji Qing's opinion, what is the sign of that tengu eclipse day?" ”
This is the purpose of the emperor who hurriedly called Ji Ji back to Jiankang and sent Wang Zhen to welcome her over as soon as possible.
Tengu Eclipse is the most feared for any emperor!
After hearing the emperor's question, this time, Ji Ji was silent for a long time.
Not only was she silent for a little longer, but there was also an indescribable sadness in her lost eyes.
She thought that maybe this time her conversation with the emperor would affect the future direction of Emperor Liu Song.
But she didn't know what to do. Did she want to tell the emperor that Liu Song had not been in the world for decades? Then although the people under his rule did not live particularly well, he was also the only Ming monarch of Emperor Liu Song. Since him, the emperors of Liu Song have been incompetent one by one?
The emperor was looking at Ji Ji, and at this moment, his eyes on Shang Ji Ji were slowly becoming more and more ugly, and his lips were becoming more and more pale......
In a suffocating silence, Ji Ji finally spoke, and she whispered: "The crown prince and the third prince are not kings!" ”
But these two princes are relatively satisfactory heirs in the eyes of the emperor!
Therefore. It was almost Ji Ji's words. The Emperor stood up with a blushing face.
In the blink of an eye, his black and white, extremely clear eyes on Shang Ji Ji, the anger gradually dissipated.
Sit down slowly. The emperor said in a deep voice: "What else? ”
Ji Ji lowered her eyes. After a while. She said slowly: "The Northern Expedition to the Central Plains is best postponed for ten years. "Although, even if it's a ten-year delay. Liu Song was not sure of victory, but Ji Ji remembered that later generations commented on the emperor in front of him, saying that what he lacked most was patience and prudence. In his previous life, he launched the Northern Expedition too hastily and recklessly, so that it was a complete defeat in the end. If we could delay it for a decade, maybe the situation in the world would be very different.
Ji Ji said two sentences in a row, all of which were stabbing the emperor's heart, saying things that the emperor didn't like very much, and at the moment, his face was hard to look at.
The emperor sat there with a gloomy face, and after staring at Ji Ji for a while, he secretly thought: Maybe these words were taught by Xie Lang to her. This woman is not conveying the will of heaven at all, but wants to be bad for her own selfish desires!
Thinking about it like this, when the emperor faced Ji Ji, his heart was three points colder. After a while, the Emperor said again coldly, "What I asked is, what is the sign of that Tengu Eclipse Day?" ”
The emperor not only took Ji Ji's previous words as the wind in his ears, but even had a strong dissatisfaction with Ji Ji!
At that moment, Ji Ji secretly sighed.
After a little silence, Ji Ji at this time even regretted it a little, feeling that she shouldn't be soft-hearted for a while, and returned to Jiankang after listening to the will. After thinking for a while, Ji Ji said, "...... Providence is unpredictable, and the minister still needs to make another divination. ”
The truth emperor didn't want to hear it, so Ji Ji could only find an excuse to delay.
The emperor also heard her delay, his face just sank, and he didn't know what he thought of in a blink of an eye, and said gently: "Also, this is the will of heaven, let alone bathe, change clothes, burn incense and worship the sky." That being the case, Ji Qing should go back and rest and come back to see me. Speaking of this, he waved his hand and motioned for Ji Ji to leave.
Ji Ji saluted the emperor, turned around and walked outside. As soon as she walked out of the study, Ji Ji saw Liu Shu among the ministers standing in the distance looking here, and couldn't help but pause, only to see her turn around and say to the emperor: "Your Majesty, Liu Shu was deeply favored by Wendu Horse back then, but in the end he was ungrateful and killed his benefactor. ”
She said this, and when the emperor frowned, Ji Ji was blessed again, turned around and walked away.
Because the emperor wanted to discuss with Ji Ji, there was no one within a radius of a few hundred steps in this study. Therefore, Ji Ji walked for a while, and Wang Zhen and others came up to greet him. They didn't dare to ask Ji Ji, but after laughing and making a few words, they let the eunuch lead Ji Ji out of the palace.
When Kankan walked out of the palace gate, Ji Ji ran into an oncoming donkey cart, and in a blink of an eye, a second-grade high-ranking official walked down from the donkey cart. The high-ranking official and Ji Ji met each other, and both of them were stunned.
This high-ranking official, his face is as white as jade, handsome and deep, isn't it Zhou Yu?
Zhou Yu was just stunned, and in a blink of an eye, he strode towards Ji Ji.
Seeing him coming, Ji Ji was blessed and said with a smile: "How is Zhou Jialangjun lately?" ”
Zhou Yu looked at her straight for a while, bowed his head and returned the salute, and said, "I'm fine." In a blink of an eye, he whispered again: "I heard that Madame gave birth to a son for Xie Lang?" Congratulations. I remarried Lu last year, and now I have a son and a daughter. ”
Ji Ji said: "Lang Jun has both children and daughters, it is really blessed. Speaking of this, Ji Ji said again: "Lang Jun wants to face the saint?" Then Ji Ji will go first. With that, she blessed him again, and then turned away.
Zhou Yu had been standing motionless with his back to Ji Xi, and it wasn't until the sound of the palace gate closing came that he slowly turned his head.
Glancing at the departing donkey cart outside the palace gate, Zhou Yu walked towards the palace.
After a while, he met Liu Chou. As soon as Zhou Zhou Yu was paired, Liu Chu sneered: "Mrs. Ji just left, but I don't know if Lord Zhou has met her?" ”
Zhou Yu glanced at him and asked, "What does Lord Liu want to say?" ”
Liu was stiff, and seeing that there was no one around, he sighed, lowered his voice and said, "Aren't I afraid of the revenge of the person in your dream?" Hey, I knew that she had such great magical powers, I shouldn't have calculated her with the Yuan family in the first place! ”
Speaking of this, Liu Chu looked bitter, and he said in a low voice: "Zhou Yu, you have been friends with Mrs. Ji for many years and know her very well. You say, what should I do if I want to clear my doubts with her? ”
Zhou Yu smiled, and he said casually: "Ji Yue has worked with you, don't you know his character?" Left and right is just a simple and soft-hearted person, you knock on the side, and it is enough to show her a few more times. ”
Speaking of this, Zhou Yu stepped away, and just after taking a few steps, Zhou Yu stopped again, and he said softly: "Lord Liu." ”
Liu Chu looked back at Zhou Yu.
Zhou Yu's voice was extremely low and said, "Mrs. Ji, if you do anything unfavorable to her again, I will stab it to the Chen Jun Xie family!" ”
As soon as Zhou Yu's words came out, the smile on Liu Yu's face froze. In a blink of an eye, he said with a smile: "I really didn't expect that Lord Zhou, who is always black-hearted, actually defended the person he wanted to come this time?" ”
Zhou Yu replied slowly: "This time is different from the past. Now, she is bent on retiring and finding a clean place, and I think she should be fulfilled. What do you say, Lord Liu? ”
Liu Chu said: "Lord Zhou, this is to promote Liu. With Mrs. Ji's energy today, Liu has the courage to do anything more. ”
Zhou Yu got his words, smiled, and strode away with a flick of his sleeves.
Ji Ji returned to the manor.
Not to mention the overjoyed servants in the manor after seeing her return. Ji Ji and the servants had just reminisced, Qin Xiaomu remembered something, and said to her: "Madam, not long ago, Your Majesty sent some people to the manor, those people are Mrs. Your old days, there are two surnamed Zheng, it seems that they are still Madame's nurse and her daughter. Now these people are locked up in a courtyard by us, ma'am, are you going to take a look? ”
The surname Zheng? Is it Zheng Mu and Zheng Mi? Ji Ji remembered that when Yuan Xian exposed Ji Yue is daughter, she had controlled her to testify against many old people, including not only the Zheng family and Zheng Mi, but also Ji Xi's father's concubine, and the old servants of the manor in Jing County. Now, Yuan Xian is also dead, and Ji Yue's matter has become a thing of the past.
After thinking about it, Ji Ji said: "Although they are my old friends, not long ago, they all followed the Yuan family to frame me, and their friendship is long gone, and I don't want to see these people again, let Uncle Sun send them out of Jiankang City." I said that I said it, thinking that they were also forced by the Zheng family, I don't blame it, and I will treat them as strangers in the future and let them behave for themselves. ”
Qin Xiaomu responded: "Yes!" (To be continued......)
