Although Jin Xida did not return to Beijing, the celebration banquet in the summer house was still full of distinguished guests.

Among today's female guests are Shu Yao's two little guests, the fourth princess Qi Sihan and the lord of Yue, Qi Yueling.

The Queen Mother couldn't stand their muttering and grinding their mouths in their ears, so she sent Shunzi's father-in-law to the summer house, retrieved three posts, and sent one to Prince Yong's mansion to Qi Haoning, so that Qi Haoning would come to the palace to pick up the two sisters and go to the summer house together.

Qi Haoning looked at the post and was happy, he was about to go to the summer house to visit Shujie. A few days ago, he received a southwest souvenir sent to him by his father, and suddenly saw the strange secret note that Jin Xida had told him, and took out a sealed paper scroll from it, with the word "Jie" on it, and knew that it was a letter of peace that he asked him to hand over to Shujie.

Early this morning, Qi Haoning was just about to go out, Yunxiao walked in and pouted: "That woman brought the eldest lady and the third young master over and waited in the flower hall." ”

Qi Haoning walked out of Lu with an "um", and she knew that the "woman" in Yunxiao's mouth referred to Concubine Zhao.

Entering the flower hall, 11-year-old Qi Haoxiang rushed over and muttered: "Second brother, take me to see the imperial grandmother, I will also go to the palace." Concubine Zhao also got up and greeted her, and said affectionately: "Ning'er, have you finished practicing?" Xiang'er is clamoring to go to the palace with you, so you can bring Xin'er with you. ”

13-year-old Qi Yuexin stood there cutely: "Second brother, I haven't seen my little sister for a long time, you can take me with you." ”

Qi Haoning snorted coldly in his heart, and replied with "embarrassment" on his face: "Yue'er is scared when she sees you, and yesterday she was still muttering about the last time you pushed her into the lotus pond, so you better not go." lest the imperial grandmother not give you a good face. Xiang'er too. When the imperial grandmother is angry, you can go again. ”

Qi Yuexin's little face immediately turned white. That was a year ago, why is that dead girl still talking? At that time, they were playing by the artificial lake in the Imperial Garden, and she looked at the dead girl wearing a new dress made of glittering silk paid tribute by the Fan clan, and she was so jealous that her head was full of all kinds of "unfair" treatment between her and the dead girl......

Seeing that there was no one around, the palace maid of the dead girl went back to get her snacks, and impulsively reached out and pushed the dead girl down. Then he shouted loudly with his personal maid: "Help." Help, Lord Yue has fallen into the water. "But a concubine was not far away, and when she heard that it was the lord of Yue who fell into the water, she hurriedly seized this opportunity to please the queen mother, and without saying a word, she ran over and jumped into the pond to rescue the dead girl. That concubine is from a water town in the south of the Yangtze River, and the water nature is excellent.

The Queen Mother personally interrogated, of course she would not admit it, insisting that Qi Yueling had slipped on her own feet. Fell into the water. is also a granddaughter, but the imperial grandmother only believes in the words of the dead girl. If the second brother hadn't believed her and said that it was a dead girl playing a child's temper, the imperial grandmother would have let people beat her on the spot. Therefore, she didn't dare to rely on her second brother to take her into the palace for a year.

Hearing Qi Haoning's words, Concubine Zhao's face also turned white.

Although the affairs in the palace are all taken care of by her, she is a side concubine, and she is not treated by the queen mother. Xin'er is 13 years old this year, and by the end of October, she will be 14.

The prince didn't know when Lu Dao would return to Beijing, and the queen mother "didn't remember" that in addition to Qi Haoning and Qi Yueling, there were other grandchildren and granddaughters in Prince Yong's mansion, how could she be expected to take the initiative to marry Xin'er?

The Queen Mother has a good face, as long as she gives marriage, there will definitely be no difference, how to say that Qi Yuexin is the daughter of Prince Yong.

It's just that everyone knows that there are many granddaughters and granddaughters of the Queen Mother, but there are few who can let her marry.

Therefore, she always asked Qi Haoning to take Qi Yuexin and Qi Haoxiang into the palace, and Qi Haoning has always been close to her and her children. Last time Xin'er was impulsive and bad, if Qi Haoning hadn't believed her, the Queen Mother would definitely not let Xin'er go.

However, what Qi Haoning said just now? "Yesterday you were still muttering about the last time you pushed her into the lotus pond"? Why does it sound so wrong? He doesn't believe Xin'er anymore?

Qi Haoning didn't care about the pale faces of the mother and son, and said with a faint smile: "Okay, I'm leaving, otherwise, Yue'er will blame me for always being late" Every time he wants to enter the palace, the mother and son will appear "in time".

After Qi Haoning finished speaking, he turned around and left.

Qi Haoxiang said aggrievedly: "Mother, doesn't the second brother like me anymore?" He wouldn't have been like this before. ”

Qi Yuexin said angrily: "It must be that dead girl who has been saying bad things about us in the second brother's ear, and she can't see that the second brother is better to us than to her." ”

Concubine Zhao suddenly felt palpitations, yes, last time Qi Haoning sneaked to the southwest alone, and after turning back halfway, the whole person changed, and she was no longer as affectionate as before, and she no longer told her when she left the house and when she returned to the house.

She was surprised and scared, didn't her brother say that the Flying Eagle was very powerful? Why can't you even kill a fourteen-year-old child? And also told Qi Haoning who is the employer?

However, her brother told her that someone had found out that the Flying Eagle master and apprentice were dead, and that the Eagle had a habit of telling his employer the moment he killed someone. However, if he can't kill someone, he would rather die than say it. Since Feiying was killed by Qi Haoning, it was impossible for Qi Haoning to know what to say from Feiying's mouth.

As long as it is not Feiying leaking, Concubine Zhao is not worried, and if you want to suspect it, you will also suspect Concubine Tian and the eldest young master. She didn't know what to do, Qi Haoning sneaked out of Beijing. Moreover, Qi Haoning was instilled by her since he was a child with the idea that "Concubine Tian and the eldest young master" are not good people, and she also let him see or hear a lot of things with his own eyes.

She also told Qi Haoning the reason why Prince Yong did not want to see Concubine Tian's mother and son "as if unintentionally", and at that time the imperial doctor said that Princess Yong's condition had improved, and she went back to her parents' house, but she just let Concubine Tian take care of her for a day, and the princess was not good. However, the doctor examined the medicine residue and diet that day, and found no problems.

She wasn't worried at all that Qi Haoning would say these words to the prince or the queen mother, what she said was the "truth", not only Prince Yong, but also the queen mother, but also because of the suspicion of the cause of the princess's death.

Ever since she knew that Qi Haoning had killed the Flying Eagle, the only thing Concubine Zhao was worried about was that she didn't know when Qi Haoning's martial arts were so powerful, and even the top killers on the rivers and lakes were killed by him, so how could she get rid of him?

The Queen Mother was very wary of her, and after the death of the princess's cousin, the Queen Mother not only did not want to see Concubine Tian, but also did not want to see her. However, the Queen Mother was indifferent to her before, but she liked Concubine Tian Side.

Because of the Queen Mother's precautions, Qi Haoning's mother, the big maid, and the personal guard Yunxiao were all rewarded by the Queen Mother from the palace, and they were all very shrewd. She didn't dare to do it in the house, so she waited until Qi Haoning sneaked out of Beijing without permission, but it was a pity......

After that time, the people around Qi Haoning became more careful, and even Qi Haoning seemed to be on guard.

Qi Haoning got the emperor's permission, and the emperor sent someone to send him to the southwest, but he didn't let her know the truth, and it was only after a few days that Luo's mother in Qi Haoning's courtyard said it when she asked again, and said that it was the news that the palace had just given.

After returning to Beijing this time, Qi Haoning has always been so faint, there seems to be a change, and there seems to be no change, she can't figure it out.

……

"Mother, mother, what are you thinking?" Qi Haoxiang's voice pulled back Concubine Zhao's wandering thoughts.

No, she scared herself, how could something that had been erected after more than ten years of hard work be so easy to break? Qi Haoning was suspicious, but he was only suspicious that someone wanted him to die, and he wouldn't suspect her, if he really doubted it, would he cover it up so well? A child who is only fifteen years old, and she grew up from childhood, how complex and deep can it be?

It should be that the Queen Mother said something provocative to him recently, a few years ago, what did the Queen Mother say, when she returned to the palace, as soon as she coaxed her, Qi Haoning said it, and now ......

Concubine Zhao felt very irritable.

Qi Haoning walked out of the palace, only then did he disdainfully "snort", his father said to let him be patient, and it would be bad for him to publicize things without evidence, after all, for so many years, Concubine Zhao's "meticulous care" of him is well known. Moreover, his safe return to the capital can make Concubine Zhao scared, and she should not dare to do anything in a short period of time.

However, his father still gave him a shadow guard, protecting him like a shadow.

His father also said that he was already fifteen years old and could go out to practice. When Yue'er celebrates her eighth birthday in July, the emperor will let him follow General Haiyong to Yuecheng in the South China Sea. General Hai Yong is a general trained and promoted by his father, good at naval warfare, was sent to the South China Sea two years ago to take charge of the army, and will report to the capital next month.

……

Qi Haoning arrived at Cining Palace before the appointment time, and the two little guys, Yue'er and Sihan, were still waiting impatiently on the stone tables and chairs in the courtyard.

This is the first time the two of them have gone out of the palace to participate in the banquet, and they are very excited, they get up early in the morning, and they are here after breakfast.

The Queen Mother shook her head with a smile and said to Mama Liu: "You follow in person, as soon as these two little birds fly out, they are afraid that their wings will flutter and forget any rules." ”

As soon as they saw Qi Haoning's figure, Yue'er and the others rushed over: "Brother, why are you always late?" ”

The Queen Mother Ha Lu Ha Da smiled: "The imperial grandmother testified, you really wronged your brother this time, not only is he not late today, but he is also early, and the appointed time has not yet arrived." Also, you two don't just care, remember to tell Brother Jie that the imperial doctor has confirmed that the imperial grandmother's thirst-quenching disease is basically cured, and let them go and put a pillar of incense on their mother for the imperial grandmother. ”

The queen mother has been in a good mood recently, and the thirst disease that has plagued her for more than ten years basically has no symptoms, and the queen is pregnant again, since the emperor has used the pills offered by Shujie's brothers and sisters, the headache is gone, and the person is also in good spirits, which makes her very relieved. The emperor has been working day and night since he ascended the throne, and he has a headache at two ends in three days, how can she, a mother, not worry? (To be continued......)
