Volume 2 Chapter 138 The favor is returned quite casually
The day before the Winter Solstice Festival, it is the banquet of the eldest princess of Wanyi.
This banquet was held by the Son of Heaven to force the eldest princess to summon - the eldest princess's mansion was only vacant for three years, not considered dilapidated, and it could live in a little rectification, so the eldest princess was both happy to move and the first winter solstice festival after returning to China, although the eldest princess repeatedly excused herself, saying that she was used to being cold, but she didn't know how to socialize, but the Son of Heaven still insisted.
The idea of the Son of Heaven is that Wan Yi is the only clan member who has been pardoned by the Great Liao, and is the "achievement" of the peace talks between the two countries. Her joy and joy must be shown to her subjects in order to prove the value of peace talks.
The helpless eldest princess can only receive the order.
But she still doesn't want to invite too many irrelevant people.
It's just that Queen Zhou's own family, Rongguo Mansion, has to be invited, Concubine De's own Huanguo Mansion has to be invited, and the eldest princess herself has a foreign family, and she was once captured and now she is also pardoned, so she has to be invited; The crown prince, the crown princess, the king of Jin, the princess of Jin, the king of Luo, the princess of Luo, these people are all the juniors of the eldest princess, and they have to be invited; Xin Tanzhi is the one who welcomes her back to China, and Xin Men has to be invited; Qin Xiangdi is kind to her, and Xiangdi has to be invited.
The eldest princess felt that there were already quite a few people, and she could show her happiness and joy.
The Son of Heaven was still not satisfied, so he asked Empress Zhou to hire someone for the eldest princess.
So the Xu family, the Xiang family, the Hu family, the Yiguo Mansion, the Qi family, etc., etc., but all the Empress Zhou could still see it, they all received invitations from the Eldest Princess's Mansion.
Yan didn't go for a long time this day, and he could not give face to the eldest princess openly, because he had to accompany Zhong Liji, the old man, into the palace to face the saint.
On the Winter Solstice Festival, there are three days off, and the Son of Heaven does not go to the court, but gets up early in the morning to entertain Zhongliji's master and apprentice.
"Unprovoked this kid, he dares to resist and disobey!" The Son of Heaven glared at Yan Chi.
Yan Chi smiled and didn't say anything, the Son of Heaven even said "flat body", which looked like he wanted to condemn himself, he was never afraid that the old man would affect him, what he was afraid of was that he would affect the old man, the royal family surnamed Yi, and he didn't want to hurt another person he cared about.
"Blame me, blame me, I even want to catch Yan Boy back to the mountain, where can he leak the news of my Lin'an." Zhong Liji snorted, just wanting to fool the past like this.
Sure enough, he was fooled.
The Son of Heaven did not intend to pursue Yan Chi's disobedience, but only planned to leave Zhong Liji in Lin'an, and when he heard that Zhong Liji even wanted Yan Chi to go back to the mountains to practice, he was not willing to dwell on this topic anymore, and asked instead: "Where do I not know where the master cultivates in the immortal mountain?" β
Zhong Liji smiled: I can't say it, because this mountain is already in the Liao realm, and it is even more impossible for you to release people if you talk about the official family.
His face did not change and his heart did not beat: "The mountain outside the world." β
The Son of Heaven only said that Zhong Liji was unwilling to tell Lingshan Fudong, after all, he couldn't give up Jiangshan Zhen and Zhong Liji to cultivate immortals, so he didn't ask anymore, and left Zhong Liji in Lin'an, and even lived in the imperial city, so that he could often enlighten with the high ginseng.
"If you can also cultivate the art of Jindan when you enter the WTO, the grass people will not be born, and the people who are born will be guilty of violating the heavens if they ask about entering the WTO, so I hope the officials will understand." said and glared at Yan Chi: "You obviously know that the teacher has great hopes for you, how do you know that you are difficult but worldly, you are born in vain." β
The Son of Heaven was puzzled: "If the master is lazy to ask about the world, why did he remind my generation back then to take advantage of the luck?" β
"At that time, the world was in turmoil, the society was destroyed and the people were helpless, this is not a matter of one person and one family, but the life and death of the people of Kyushu, although the grass people were born, but they can't bear to see the people not making a living, so they just ordered the official family."
"But now the crisis in Kyushu has not been completely resolved, and I need someone from above."
"Yan Kid has already learned to become a teacher, and he has no intention of cultivating the art of Jindan, which is completely enough to assist in the governance of the Earth Sage." Having said that, Zhong Liji gave Yan Chi a roll of his eyes very dissatisfied: "He also learned yesterday that Yan Zhao will be born and the earth will be moved, which will cause more than 10,000 casualties, and he said that it is a good time to help the official family strengthen the foundation of the country." β
Yan Chi was originally sitting on his knees, his hands were relaxed on his knees, and after hearing this, the fingertips of his right middle finger twitched slightly, and he was furious in his heart: What an old man, he actually made his own opinion, when did I promise to take care of Yan Zhaodi's move! β
"Yan Zhao will move alive?" The Son of Heaven was first shocked, and then there was a burst of ecstasy in his heart, because he suddenly realized that Yan Zhao was completely out of David's control, and if the earth movement caused casualties among the army and civilians, and such a natural disaster occurred, wouldn't it indicate that the Liao Lord was unethical?!
To say that the Yanzhao region did not belong to the territory of the Wei country at the beginning of the Wei Dynasty, but later Emperor Taizong requisitioned, and once moved to move the capital to Youzhou, but there were too many admonitions, in the end, in the end, Yan Zhao lost again, and after the requisition, and then lost, after the discussion and Yan Zhao barbarian department to David, but in the end it was completely captured by the Liao State, until Kaifeng fell, Wei Ting stood in Lin'an, and the complete loss was only Yan Zhao domain boundary?
Seeing that Yi Chengjun seemed to be schadenfreude, Yan Chi was willing to pour cold water on his head again: "Official, now that the two countries of Liao and Wei have negotiated peace, Yan Zhao will move immediately, I am afraid that the main battle faction of the Liao court will lobby the Liao lord to reverse the peace treaty on the grounds that the peace talks are against the mandate of heaven." β
The Son of Heaven really felt that he was thinking too naΓ―vely, how could a single earth move make the Liao Kingdom completely collapse, and what the natural disaster portended, sometimes it really depends on the mouths of the courtiers.
"And what is the unwarranted suggestion?"
"Remind Liao Ting, take precautions as soon as possible."
"It's just that in this way, won't the Liao Lord win the hearts of the people?"
Yan Chi snorted coldly: Yi Chengjun was not so stupid as to think that after the Liao State was able to recuperate, he was still willing to keep his word and abide by the peace treaty, it seems that he also did not want the Liao State to be smooth and the Liao lord was highly respected.
"The domain of Yan Zhao is mostly driven by the Liao court to cultivate the land and feed the horses, especially now that the north of Huaishui is no longer the Wei domain, Yan Zhao does not need to be heavily defended, so the ground moves, and the casualties are mostly the remnants of the defense of the country rather than the Liao people, if the official family informs the Liao court in advance to avoid casualties, it is the remnants of our dynasty who are saved instead of the Liao people, and the remnants know that it is the official family who reminds the Liao court, so that they can survive, how can they really be hearted to the Liao court?"
"Then who should be sent to Liao this time?" The Son of Heaven asked.
Yan Chi casually returned Qin Xun's favor: "Although the lord of Liao has the right to go to Beijing, but the prince of Liao is now in Kaifeng, the prince of Liao can be said to be obedient to Qin Zaizhi, if he lets Qin Xiang make Kaifeng, he will be able to persuade the prince of Liao to let the remnants take refuge before the ground moves, so as to avoid collapse and burial." β
"Can the day when the earth is shaken for no reason?"
"Bude, after the Shangyuan Festival, on the nineteenth day of the first month, the error will not be more than three days."
Qin Xiangguo didn't know that he would serve as an angel again, and today he took a vacation, got up early in the morning, presided over the morning province instead of his old wife, and was also reviewing the family members who were about to go to the eldest princess's banquet.
Why instead of the old lady?
Because last night, when the old lady and Qin Xiangguo and his wife were drinking, they drank too much, and today they really couldn't afford to go to the invitation, Qin Xun simply let the old lady sleep for a while, don't let the younger generations be able to ask the province, so that they have to get up early before they have slept enough.
Fang Qi was a little suspicious that her grandfather did it on purpose.
But she doesn't pay much attention to the little tricks between her grandfather and grandmother, she pays attention to Qin Fangzi.
Because Mrs. Wang "used" Layue yesterday to inquire what dress she was wearing today - although the eldest princess's banquet is not comparable to the palace banquet, but it is also different from the ordinary banquet, of course Fang Qi will wear new clothes, and she is not surprised that Qin Fangzi will have a set of dresses that are very similar to her, because the production of new clothes for all the girls in the Xiangdi is managed by Mrs. Wang, and the banquet of the Winter Solstice Festival in the Eldest Princess's Mansion was posted half a month ago, which is enough time for Mrs. Wang to prepare.
But what Fang Qi saw was that not only Qin Fangzi, but even Gao Beisheng was wearing a silk jacket and Yang Concubine skirt today, with a moon-white background, embroidered with light pink and dark red to set off the big sleeves of the folded plum blossoms, and they also surrounded the jade rabbit front collar, combing the most common double screw bun for girls in the room to attend formal occasions, although the hair ornament skirt cannot be extremely the same, but the style selected in order to match the dress is also similar.
Qin Xun probably also knows the old lady's style, regardless of whether she personally "leads" the team to attend other family banquets, but all the children and grandchildren of the family and the ladies who have to go to other homes as guests need to review the clothes they wear in the morning, and guarantee that they will not make the Xiangdi lose face and lose their style.
Today, Qin Xun reviewed it.
He frowned slightly: "Looking at the past, this time it really looks like three sisters." β
There is obviously some sarcasm in these words, Mrs. Wang will not be unable to hear it, she is swept away from depression and madness today, and looks very much like a normal person, and even with a somewhat virtuous and virtuous smile at this time: "Sanniang picked the silk color and picked the pattern that day, I felt that she really had always put a lot of thought into dressing up, and I was tempted for a while, so I made a set for Erniang and Liuniang compared to the color sample that Sanniang picked, and expected that she would wear this new dress today to attend the winter solstice banquet of the eldest princess's mansion, thinking of the three of them, the age is almost the same." , wearing the same dress only slightly shows a slight difference in the ornament, which is gorgeous and does not make people feel glamorous, which is very suitable for today's banquet occasions. β
As soon as Mrs. Wang said this, Fang Qi couldn't change her clothes even if she wanted to.
But Fang Qi had never thought of changing her clothes at all, and she had already made up her mind today to find out the person who had poisoned her, so as to confirm her inference.
Of course, it is also very important to completely thwart Mrs. Wang's tricks and promote the good relationship between Second Brother Xu and Xin Wuniang.
Qin Xun didn't say anything, just looked at Chang Ying, who was following Fang Qi: "This is the maid that Sanniang is going to take to the eldest princess's mansion today?" β
Mrs. Wang frowned and glanced at Chang Ying: "Why does Sanniang also want to take a maidservant?" β
In addition to entering the palace, everyone can not bring attendants, and they will bring a servant and a maid to the banquet, but because today is going to the eldest princess's mansion, the pomp and circumstance have to decrease, so they only bring one maid, but in Mrs. Wang's opinion, this is the pomp of the concubine, and the maid should sit beside her obediently, and she is like a maid, how can she still get the rest of the maids.
Qin Xun didn't want to deal with Mrs. Wang at all.
"Yes, I took Chang Ying to the banquet today." Fang Qi Road.
Mrs. Wang didn't care.
In fact, she also expected that Father Weng would support the "evil obstacle", but this did not bother her, at this time she turned her head and glanced at Chang Ying, and raised a frown: "Several ladies are dressed similarly, and the slaves and maids with them can't always wear a variety of colors, Sanniang wants to take this maidservant, let her change into the winter clothes made for the maidservants in the mansion." β
Fang Qi also responded quietly.
She deliberately waited until today before deciding to bring Chang Ying to attend, so that Layue "couldn't ask" in advance, just to be sure, and it was also determined at this time, Mrs. Wang is indeed very obsessed with the degree of "similarity" between her and Qin Fangzi today, but what is the mystery of this?
