Chapter 13: The Heart of the Squid Emperor
Emperor Squid was reviewing the folds in Shuxuan Pavilion, and the father-in-law outside the door came to report: "Hey, the emperor, the lord of Qishang is here, whether the emperor has been summoned." ”
Emperor Squid put down the twists and turns, and secretly knew that this child was not worried about it, and he must have come to be coquettish for the sake of going to Xuesen Country, so he sighed and said: "Xuan"
Qishang came to Shuxuan Pavilion to give a gift, as expected, he ran to Emperor Squid to complain, her whole face was like a bitter melon, crying: "Uncle, Lingji can go to Xuesen Country, why can't I go, that Lingji looked at my face yesterday, she also said that I am just a little second-grade county lord, I want to be respectful when I see her, I am her cousin to her house as a guest without a cup of tea, I reprimanded her a few words, she scolded me for being nosy, and arrogantly kicked me out of the house, uncle, you come to judge."
Emperor Squid has always known Lingji's personality, she generally does not mess around and don't know the etiquette, but a Qishang has an arrogant and domineering personality, because she is the daughter of the prince and is named the second-grade county lord is the royal courtesy, and the princess's daughter does not accept the title according to the royal etiquette system, but Lingji broke the list and was named one order higher than her title from the first rank, and she was not convinced, which became the beginning of Qishang's hostility towards Lingji.
In Yunmengguo, the daughter of the princess was originally untitled, all by virtue of the emperor's reward, and the general one was at most a second-grade princess or a third-grade county lord. Now there are only two female juniors from the royal family, and now there are only two of them, so that when Qishang grows up and is sensible, he often compares everywhere because of the high and low titles.
Emperor Squid patted her on the shoulder and comforted: "Okay, don't cry, my uncle knows your grievances, it's just a child making trouble, what kind of trouble are the two of them, another day Uncle will train her for you, isn't it just a title?" Don't worry about it, you see that your parents are both complete, Lingji she doesn't have a father, this is just a title to comfort her, so don't worry about it. ”
Qishang saw Emperor Squid comforting her like this, and also knew that her uncle would not really train her, which made it clear that she was not playing Tai Chi and thin mud, the purpose of her coming this time was to go to Xuesen Country with Xi Yan, and she didn't expect her uncle to train Lingji, she sobbed deliberately: "Then why did she go to Xuesen Country this time, but you didn't want me to go." ”
After Emperor Squid instructed the palace maid to bring a cup of hot tea to Qishang, he replied: "Qishang, you are complaining about your uncle, in fact, I don't want you to go for a reason, and now that your father has returned to the fiefdom, naturally no one will tell you the reason, I will tell you today." ”
Qishang felt a pang in her heart, thinking that there was something else in this matter, then she didn't have the opportunity to go to Xuesen Country, this is a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity, this trip to Xuesen Country can increase her knowledge and show her face, and secondly, it will take many months to go back and forth on the road, and it is a rare good time to be able to get close to Xiyan, so it is a great unwillingness to lose it.
She held back her tears and asked, "What is the reason for my uncle?"
Emperor Squid sighed, recalled twenty years ago, and said: "At that time, I was still young, your father was already an adult, the most favored little princess 'Yabu' in the Xuesen country fell in love with your father, at that time your father and your mother had already made a good relationship, your father and the king admired your mother since he was a child, and then your father and mother and concubine successfully married, but also offended Princess Yabu because of this matter, Princess Yabu also married a year later, and now she is in power in the Xuesen country. Although the ending seems to be happy, but Princess Yabu made a lot of trouble before she got married, and finally forgot everything in time, you are not reminding Princess Yabu of the mistakes she made when she was young because of wrong love, you are equivalent to slapping her in the face, do you say that your uncle can let you go! “
Qishang didn't expect her father to have such an affair, her father and princess never mentioned it to her, she said disappointedly: "Uncle, I see, I don't know that my father has such a past."
Emperor Squid nodded, picked up the teacup on the bookcase and took a sip, Qishang saw that Emperor Squid's uncle was no longer speechless, and knew that his uncle meant that it was useless for her to go to Xuesen Country. But she really didn't want to give up this once-in-a-lifetime opportunity, she secretly calculated in her heart, if she didn't reveal her identity, would it be possible to go together, think about it, it's just that she has been wronged, and she can't show her true identity!
Qishang stood up, walked to Emperor Squid's bookcase, pulled Emperor Squid's sleeve and said coquettishly: "Uncle, I really want to go, you just promise me, I don't reveal my identity, uncle......"
Emperor Squid knows the character of this Qishang, as long as she wants to do something, she will do whatever she wants to do, and this character has advantages and disadvantages for her, the advantage is that she plays piano, chess, calligraphy, painting, martial arts...... has achieved good results in everything, she is a world-famous talented woman in Yunmengguo, and the disadvantage is that she is inevitably arrogant and arrogant because of her fame and noble family background!
Among the children and nephews of the younger generation of this royal family, she is domineering and coquettish, and the Squid Emperor does not really love her, firstly, because he once designed her father to win the throne apologetic, and secondly, he sat on the throne of the emperor, he had to pretend to be a kind elder, and he pampered these juniors in everything to win a good reputation.
Emperor Squid put down the teacup and pretended to be doting: "You little girl, my uncle can't take you anymore, you can go, just don't expose your identity and make some unnecessary trouble!" ”
Qishang nodded heavily and promised: "Don't worry, uncle, I will definitely hide my identity well, and I won't cause trouble." ”
Xi Yan stood in the fish pond of Bifu with leisurely feeding goldfish, those goldfish swarmed together to grab food, and some of them jumped out of the water, she smiled, the narrow peach blossom eyes had a little charm, but between the eyebrows there was a domineering said: "It seems that my son still hasn't fed you, knowing that the food is coming, he will fight, at the beginning of this fish pond there were only two male and female fish, fish food made those two fish eat not like to eat, but now it is lively but desperately snatched for food, completely ignoring family affection!" ”
He had already heard the rumors of Qishang in the past few days, and knew that the county lord of Qishang in Xuesen Country would also go with him this time, but he would not blatantly go as the county lord's envoy, he knew that there must be something inside, and with her character, she would be so low-key. No matter what her purpose was for going this time, as long as she didn't disturb his tranquility, if she wanted to hit him, don't blame him for being polite.
He handed the fish food to the waiter, the waiter respectfully took the fish food and continued to eat, he took out the folding fan from the belt and opened it, habitually had a fan that did not fall for a while, the weather is not hot now in March, the house is full of spring, the maid in the house looked at the white clothes of the former son of the former Yan standing by the fish pond from afar, the jade tree is in the wind, and a good scenery lights up the spring of the house.
Here Xiyu Shizi also received the holy decree of Emperor Squid, he was ten thousand happy in his heart, he was eager for such a good opportunity, finally had such a good time, he could get along with Lingji, he has been in the fief all these years, and he has not accompanied her well, he finally went to the imperial capital for a few days and returned to the fiefdom, he hurriedly asked the maid to prepare the things for the road early, and specially went to buy a gift to give to Lingji.
