Chapter 10 The Turmoil of the Seven Merchants

Emperor Squid sat in the Wenxuan Hall and sipped tea, Ling Ji walked in and Shi Libi sat on the chair at the bottom, Emperor Squid put down the tea and said: "Ji'er, three months later will be the fiftieth birthday of Empress Yan of Xuesen Country, Xuesen Country and this country often have trade contacts that cannot be underestimated, you are already seventeen years old and grown up, I want to send you out to see the world and experience to go to Xuesen Country to give gifts." ”

Lingji nodded and asked, "But when I went with my country's envoys, I don't know which envoys my uncle sent?" ”

Emperor Squid smiled and said: "This time, I sent the prince of Yu, Zhang Xianjie's envoy, and the left overseer of the army. Your royal brother is young, and the juniors of the royal family are only a few of you old, so this trip to the Snow Forest Country to present a gift can be regarded as a heart! ”

Lingji didn't feel very good when she heard the names of these people, Yu Shizi has known each other since she was a child or her fiancΓ©, when she was a child, she felt that it was nothing, and when she grew up, she realized how awkward it was to go from a close brother to a fiancΓ©, it is always not good to go to Xuesen Country to give gifts together, and Xi Yan has also known each other since childhood, but he has never said a word at all, and the road is narrow!

Ling Ji felt embarrassed when she thought about it, and said to Emperor Squid tentatively: "Uncle, if I don't go, I can go out to experience at home, you just send Yu Shizi there." ”

Emperor Squid shook his head and said solemnly: "That's not good, can it be the same, you are here to represent the ambassador of Yunmeng Country, and it is also a good opportunity to have a good understanding of the customs and customs of other countries, this Yunmeng's Douluo Field has not played enough!" ”

Lingji returned without giving up: "Uncle, do you have to let me go?" I don t want to go, it's not enough to have Brother Yu, it's not that Qishang is still staying in the imperial capital, she loves to be lively the most, and you ordered her to go. ”

Emperor Squid listened to her talk about Xiyu twice and three times, and knew that it might be that the children were embarrassed when they grew up, he picked up the teacup and took a sip gently, and said with a slightly gentle face: "Ji'er, uncle knows that you have your own ideas when you are older, but my uncle still tells you that what you should face is still to be faced, and you will come sooner or later, and it is better to relax and deal with it if you can't stop it, don't feel embarrassed, Qishang, you don't know yet, and you said that she would like to join in the fun, but her uncle didn't send her, presumably her father also knows the reason, You can rest assured that with her character, she will definitely follow quietly, but she can't go in the name of the envoy. You're still afraid that the two of you won't have a good show to sing by then, no matter how you make trouble, remember not to embarrass Yunmeng!"

Lingji also knew that Uncle Squid knew her careful thoughts, so she laughed embarrassedly and agreed to the matter.

Here Qishang is on fire, she sat in the study of Zhiyu Pavilion and tore a few paintings in a row, and the palace maid next to her stood next to her in fear and didn't dare to say much, and after a while, she dropped two more teacups.

Qishang heard today that Uncle Squid Emperor sent Xiyu Shizi, Lingji, Xi Yan and Zhang Xianjie envoys to Xuesen Country to give Empress Zhi Yan a birthday, she was also in the imperial capital but did not send her, her heart was on fire, the main purpose of staying in the imperial capital was to find Xi Yan to cultivate feelings, but Xi Yan has been avoiding her and not giving her any chance to be alone, and finally had this once-in-a-lifetime good time, but Uncle Squid Emperor did not arrange for her to go together.

Thinking of that Lingji, she was angry, she not only lived in the imperial capital since she was a child, with the care of Aunt Die, but also the love of the squid emperor's uncle, this Lingji's biological father is unknown, I don't know where the wild seed has the face to be an envoy, according to the rule, the daughter of the princess is not a knight, unless the emperor is knighted, generally at most a county lord or something, this squid uncle really feels sorry for her to make an exception to give her a princess, enjoy the honor and treatment of the princess, but rely on the identity of the aunt Why do you suppress her everywhere and steal the limelight!

Seven merchants put the booklet on the desk, the teacup...... After all the damage was finished, she looked at the mess, and the anger was even greater, she kicked hard at the palace maid standing on the right, the palace maid was so frightened that her shoulder was kicked and she didn't dare to say anything, Qishang pointed to the palace maid in the house and scolded: "Are you cheap maids dead?" Don't clean it up yet! After cleaning up, each person will receive ten boards!" The palace maids were relieved, and hurriedly picked up the scraps of shredded paper on the ground, and carefully retreated, for fear that they would be implicated again, and it would be more than ten boards to solve it later.

Early the next morning, Lingji and Chi Lian sat in the courtyard of the south hall of the Dieqi Palace to discuss calligraphy, and the Qishang took a group of maids to the Dieqi Palace, and the guards at the door saw the Qishang County Lord hurriedly saluting, and a guard hurriedly ran into the other courtyard to report: "Princess Qishang, the Qishang County Lord is visiting."

Lingji and Chi Lian glanced at each other, and Chi Lian said: "Princess Lingji, today is busy, this lord doesn't know what is going on here." ”

Ling Ji shook her head and said helplessly: "I think there is no good thing today, and the Qishang who comes to the door without anything must be here because of yesterday's holy decree, and he doesn't dare to go to Uncle Squid to come to me, what good things can happen." ”

Qishang walked in arrogantly, and the maid next to him stood still and asked the guard next to him: "Is your master at home?" ”

The guard replied, "Our princess is at home." ”

When Mama Wan heard that the county lord of Qishang was coming, she hurriedly walked out and said: "The county lord has arrived, and I have missed the welcome, please go to the living room to drink tea, the princess is in the other courtyard this time, and there are already guards to report." ”

Qishang said impatiently: "What are you princesses doing in the other courtyard?" I don't have the patience to wait for her, I'll do it myself. β€œ

Qishang didn't say anything about playing, and pointed to a small palace maid behind Mama Wan and said, "You, lead the way for the county lord!"

Xiao Gong Wan looked at Wan Mama in embarrassment, Wan Mama nodded, Xiao Gong Wan hurriedly walked over and led Qi Shang to the other courtyard.

As soon as Qishang walked into the courtyard, he saw Ling Ji and Chi Lian sitting at the stone table in the courtyard from a distance, discussing something, and he was even more angry, thinking that this annoying Chi Lian would also come to block her. As soon as she saw Chi Lian, she remembered the man who rejected her!

Chi Lian stood up with a smile and saluted, "See the county lord, the county lord Wanfu." ”

Qishang looked at Chi Lian, who had slender apricot-eyed cherry lips, wearing a white and elegant dark pattern plain dress covered with a light purple cloud gauze cloak, so carefully looked at the gentle temperament of everyone's young lady, although it was not as glamorous as the beauty of the first beauty of Yunmeng who was not as good as Lingji, but it was really outstanding, especially the last time Xi Yan said that her sweetheart was her, which made her hate her in her heart at that time, and she had a sense of crisis for her.

Qishang sat on the stone bench next to him expressionlessly, picked up a calligraphy book on the stone table and looked at it, completely ignoring Chi Lian's salute, Chi Lian was silent and maintained a posture of saluting and stood there without humility or arrogance, Ling Ji saw this Qishang's unreasonable behavior and remained silent for the time being, picked up the teacup on the stone table and drank a few sips without hurrying. The palace maids next to them saw their master drinking tea alone without saying a word, and they always knew the temperament of the master, and knew that their master's intention was to hang the lord of Qishang. The tunnels also pretended not to know the number of etiquette and stood there without serving tea!

After touching about half a cup of tea, Qishang put down the post and looked at Chi Lian who was still in a saluting posture, and pretended to be surprised and said: "Ah, really, the county lord has forgotten Miss Chi Lian, please hurry up." ”

Chi Lian was unhappy in her heart, she hated this Qishang County Lord completely, and she also knew where she offended her and actually gave her such a dismount, openly ignoring her salute and drying her for so long, she replied indifferently: "The county lord is high, where can I remember the little woman, the little woman naturally knows that she is soft-spoken." ”

Qishang sneered: "If you are dissatisfied, even if you are dissatisfied, you have to hold back to the county lord, you are sure that you will wronged the county lord, you can afford it!" β€œ

Chi Lian shook her sleeves angrily, and stopped speaking, just as if she had been bitten by a mad dog.

Ling Ji put the teacup in her hand heavily, and said with a displeased face: "Xiqi Shang, Qishang County Lord, you are enough, come to my mansion so disrespectful to my guests." ”

Qishang was reprimanding Chi Lian Lingji for intervening sideways, and Qishang stood up and reprimanded with a gloomy face: "Princess Lingji, you are really embarrassed to say that you are a guest, I am a guest when I enter your princess's mansion, and your princess's mansion can be served with tea, it is really good to be educated, whether Aunt Die has not been in the mansion for a few years, and you are a princess in the mansion is like a little presumptuous, and you are so rude!" ”

Lingji said indifferently: "This doesn't seem to be a matter of the county lord, the county lord is not worthy of mentioning the number of etiquette, my princess Lingji is the emperor's own princess, what is the reason why you are a second-grade county lord who can't meet etiquette, I see that you and my cousins don't care about it, you don't know the depths, the life and death of the palace maids in my princess's mansion are my people, no matter how you turn to be an outsider, your hand is inevitably stretched too long!"

Lingji slapped the table and shouted, "Someone, send off!" ”

Qishang stood up angrily, gritted his teeth and pointed at Ling Ji and said: "What a princess from the first grade, what kind of princess shelf do you put for the county lord, you are just an orphan girl without a father, uncle has mercy on you to give you the name of a princess, you don't need to rush the county lord, you can go to your uncle to complain if there is any inconsiderate etiquette!" After saying that, he brushed his sleeves and left!
