Chapter 86
The people of Bihai Palace have not yet reacted from the fact that Si Kouxi has a child, and even when they set off to return to Tengxiao Kingdom, everyone is confused. Although there is Yan Shu, a person with superb medical skills, along the way, Yan Shu rarely takes care of pregnant women, so she is extra careful in everything.
She remembered that she knew that pregnant women had to be extra careful in the first three months, so she directly rejected Si Kouxi's request to use light skills to go back, and insisted that she must take a carriage. Si Kouxi felt a headache when he looked at this carriage, how long has it been? It's been a long time since I've been in a carriage. Well, I actually just sat there half a month ago, but it was only for a while. Now it is difficult for me to ask myself to start from Bihai Palace and take a car back to Tengxiao Country.
It had been two days since they returned to the Soaring Sky Country. But the fact that Si Kouxi was named regent of the Jianian Dynasty has spread all over the Tengxiao Kingdom, and there was an uproar in the Tengxiao Kingdom, and the Si Kou's family was also stunned when they heard the news. Why did his daughter, his sister, and his sister become regents? What will everyone call Si Kouxi when they see Si Kouxi in the future?
When Yinyue told Lan Jing and Lan Qiong the news, Lan Jing was stunned for a moment. Yinyue touched her nose and thought that she was clearly the princess of Tengxiao Kingdom, why did she become the regent? Lan Qiong also blinked and asked, "Sixth brother, how do you call the sixth sister-in-law in the future?" Lan Jing frowned, and said helplessly: "The regent is also the regent of the Jiannian Dynasty, and he is not from the Tengxiao Kingdom. It used to be called how it was called, and it is still called now. Lan Qiong and Yinyue heard it and felt that it was right to say so. It's just another question, what should Lan Jing call when he goes to the Carnival Dynasty?
It was still the day of the last dynasty, and several people in the Si Kou family received "congratulations" from all directions, and the Si Kou family was also very helpless when they heard it, but after all, this was Si Kouxi's own business, and her father and brother naturally would not be more restrained, nor would they think highly of themselves because their daughter became the regent.
Lan Jing, the son-in-law of the Si Kou family, could have ascended to the throne and become the emperor, so Si Kouxi would have become the queen, and the Si Kou family would have become a relative of the emperor. Many people flattered the Si Kou family because of this, but when Lan Qiong took the throne, everyone laughed at the Si Kou family's dream of becoming a relative of the emperor and the country. Unexpectedly, Si Kouxi became the regent next. Some people lamented that they didn't have the ability of Si Kou's family to get such a competitive daughter.
When someone saw the He family, they ran up to sneer at the Si Kou family, and said with disgust: "This daughter of the Si Kou family is really capable, did she still take the prince in her eyes, and actually ran to the Jianian Dynasty to be the king." Look at the swaggering appearance of the Si Kou family. He Junjing looked at the Si Kou family and his party who came from afar, he didn't feel that they were arrogant, but the person next to him was very sour.
He glanced at the person beside him, and then snorted coldly and said: "Si Kou's family is loyal, and when the former prince and the second prince rebelled, Si Kou's family swore to defend to the death, I don't know where you were at that time?" And Xiaoxi, whether she is the regent or not, she is a member of my He family. After saying that, he waved his sleeves and turned around and entered the temple.
The man was choked and speechless. But looking at He Junjing's back is another complaint, you see others as a family, and others don't know if they will ignore you!
The emperor went to the court, and of course the minister had to play something, and he would retreat from the court if he had nothing to do. Si Kou's family stepped forward first to deal with the remaining matters of the former prince and the second prince, and the completion of some finishing work naturally had to inform the emperor. Lan Qiong expressed her satisfaction after hearing this, Lan Xiao and Lan Shi have been intertwined with the ministers of the court and some imperial businessmen for so many years, and it is really not a trivial matter to deal with. But it is really gratifying that the Joint Criminal Department of the Si Kou family has handled everything so quickly.
But there are always people who don't like the Si Kou family, especially these days, the performance of the Si Kou family is too bright. So someone stood up and said righteously: "Your Majesty, Si Kou Xi of the Si Kou family has actually become the regent of the Carnival Dynasty, she was originally the wife of the sixth prince, and it is too much to run to the Carnival Dynasty with such an identity, and even suspected of treason." The emperor must investigate this matter well and give justice to the six princes! As soon as he finished speaking, the entire court fell into a deathly silence.
Lan Qiong glanced at the sixth brother standing at the front, and when he saw the sixth brother's light appearance, he couldn't help but wipe the sweat for the minister. Everyone was waiting, waiting for the emperor to speak, but it was Lan Jing who was waiting to speak, "And those who think like this all stand up!" ”
It sounds bland, but it always makes people feel cold from the soles of their feet to the top of their heads. Some people thought that Lan Jing was angry because of what Si Kouxi did, so after thinking for a while, he stood up and said, "The minister seconded the proposal." "At first, when no one came forward, the bird was still a little apprehensive, but when he saw someone come forward, he breathed a sigh of relief.
Lan Qiong sat on it and looked at the five or six people standing up below, and sighed in her heart that she was really not afraid of death, whether she had been sitting on this throne for a long time, or that the sixth brother had not spoken in the court for too long, everyone had forgotten the existence of this iron-blooded prince, and even the wives of other people dared to bring it to the court and discuss it at will.
Lan Jing stroked the non-existent folds on his clothes, raised his hand and said, "Your Majesty! Lan Qiong suddenly sat up straight, staring at the sixth brother below. Although the sixth brother began to go to court after the sixth sister-in-law left, the sixth brother had never spoken in the court, and he was suddenly so serious that Lan Qiong had to sit up straight.
"Tengxiao has just experienced a catastrophe, and it is hard to return to peace, but at this time, someone came out to provoke the relationship between me and your sister-in-law, and charged your sister-in-law with treason. Husband and wife are one, and when they say this, your imperial sister-in-law is talking about me, so I implore the emperor to investigate this matter thoroughly. Let's see if I have committed treason, and at the same time, the minister suspects that these people are planning to instigate the relationship between me and my wife, they may be the remnants of Lan Xiao and Lan Se, please ask the emperor to investigate thoroughly. Lan Jing said seriously, but the few people who stood up behind him were going to be unsteady.
They thought to themselves when they said that the sixth prince had rebelled, and how could they become the remnants of Lan Xiao and Lan Xi. Why does the emperor have to check himself!
Lan Qiong also frowned when he heard it on the dragon chair, but looking at Lan Jing with a serious face, he had no choice but to say, "What the sixth prince said is exact. Si Kouqing said that your sister intends to commit treason, what do you think? Si Kouqing didn't expect to point at himself, but it was his brother's sword that struck him, so he reacted, and immediately stepped forward and said: "Si Kou's family has been loyal for generations, and my little sister is definitely not such a person." The minister believes in the little sister. Lan Qiong was just waiting for Si Kouqing to answer.
He smiled again and said: "Then Si Kou Qing must be willing to find out these matters for your sister and brother-in-law, then well, order Si Kou Qing to try the ministers below, you must find out!" Lan Qiong's "brother-in-law" made Si Kouqing cry out in his heart that he couldn't stand it, so he had to bite the bullet and say, "The minister obeys the order." "Si Kouqing is very helpless, he is a civil official, aiming to provide advice for the construction of the country, since the prince and the second prince have been involved, he has become the person who tried the case, this time it is to investigate others, and he simply transferred to the criminal department, what is this really called!
Lan Jing saluted again, Lan Qiong looked at the posture of the sixth brother, and cried bitterly, what is this brother going to do! "The minister asks the emperor not to be biased, and naturally he will also send someone to check on me and my wife. In this case, from tomorrow onwards, the minister will not go to court, and he will talk about it when the matter is settled. Anyway, the palace outside the palace has been repaired, so the ministers should go out to live. Lan Qiong and a few ministers who knew that Lan Jing was helping to deal with political affairs these days, and they were eager to cut those troublesome ministers with a thousand knives at this moment. These six princes are playing tempers, and they are ready to pick and choose. Then the emperor and several ministers in charge must not die of exhaustion.
Today's conclusion of this matter ended with several ministers being investigated, and Si Kouqing and the Criminal Department were all left with official duties. The Criminal Department is actually good enough to search Lan Jing, but how many people really dare to search Lan Jing is another story. In the final analysis, only Si Kouqing and those ministers were the worst. What does the emperor mean today, everyone can see it, Si Kouqing estimates that he has to check the door openly and secretly.
When Si Kouqing returned home, he went straight to the study, and even Si Kouchen ran over and excitedly asked his sister if he had really become a regent and didn't want to deal with it. Si Kouchen pouted and ran to his eldest brother to ask, Si Kouyu nodded and said, "My sister has really become the regent, but she should be more low-key in the future, and don't make trouble for Xi'er." "Si Kouchen is also a smart person, my sister became a regent, and the Si Kouchen family was suddenly pushed to the forefront.
Si Kouzhan ordered several children in the family to wait until Si Kouxi came back and everyone went to ask for an understanding, and at the same time, none of the subordinates in the family were allowed to mention this matter, and the family also tried to participate in the gathering of the capital family as little as possible, and everything was as usual. In particular, several children must pay special attention to their words and actions.
In fact, for Si Kouxi becoming the regent, not only Tengxiao Kingdom was surprised, but even several ministers of the Carnival Dynasty made many comments. I can't bear to be disturbed, so I plan to announce my mother's identity and the help that Si Kouxi gave me in this war. In this way, due to Si Kouxi and Lan Jing's own abilities, no one will mention this matter again.
Si Kouxi also listened to everyone's discussion of her identity as the regent all the way back, and she finally returned to King Jing's mansion, and she was tired of sitting in the carriage along the way. Si Kouxi looked at the familiar palace door, and his heart was full of feelings, and the next person recognized it as the princess, and immediately ran in to inform the housekeeper. When the housekeeper ran out trembling and saw the princess standing there in a hurry, the old tears really couldn't hold back.
God knows, when they heard that the princess was dead and heard that the princess was not dead, it was a roller coaster. When the princess stood in front of him again, he was really at ease. Si Kouxi walked up to Steward Wu and said with a smile, "Butler, I've worked hard for you." I've worried you. The housekeeper immediately wiped away the tears from the corners of his eyes and said, "It's good to come back, it's good to come back······
Si Kouxi walked towards Jing Yuan, looking at the rebuilt house in front of him, and the bits and pieces of his previous relationship with Lan Jing here reappeared in his mind. Si Kouxi pushed open the door and saw Lan Jing who was still pointing out his subordinates in the room. She was surprised that Lan Jing was here, shouldn't he accompany Lan Qiong in the palace to deal with government affairs? Lan Jing was also startled by the little girl who should have appeared in front of him at this time in the Carnival Dynasty, but before she could react, she was pounced on by this girl, and she subconsciously reached out to hug her.
Si Kouxi smiled and said, "I miss you." "When the people in this room heard this, they all bowed their heads and went their own way, so they didn't hear it, and the princess simply ruined the title of regent. There is only one person who has a different focus from them, and that is Yan Shu, as soon as she saw Si Kouxi running, she shouted: "The princess can't run!" Lan Jing glanced at the smiling girl in her arms suspiciously, then looked at Yan Shu and asked, "What's wrong?" ”
Yan Shu remembered that she hadn't reported to the prince yet, and now she said that it was okay. She said: "Congratulations to the princess, the princess is pregnant!" Yan Shu's tone was really full of joy and pride, and Si Kouxi actually didn't understand what they were proud of. When Lan Jing heard the news, she didn't stay stunned for too long, and directly picked up the head of the girl in her arms and asked, "Is this true?" Si Kouxi felt a little embarrassed by this question, stroked his stomach, and said seriously: "I don't know if it's true, but since Yan Shu said that, it should probably be true!" ”
Of course Lan Jing knows that it is true, Yan Shu's medical skills are the best in the world, if even this is wrong, then she doesn't need to continue to bear this name. The people in the house are all saying hello to the prince, Lan Jing has been smiling on his face since today, and the people in the palace feel that spring is really coming. Everything is going in a good direction, and everyone in the palace has a beautiful face
Si Kouxi sat down to rest, and only then did he have time to ask Lan Jing why he was in the palace, Lan Jing recounted what happened in the court, Si Kouxi didn't expect that the matter had reached this point. She was a little at a loss, and took Lan Jing's arm guiltily and said, "Am I embarrassing you?" Lan Jing scratched Si Kouxi's nose and said, "What's the matter, I just went back to the palace to rest on this ground, I wanted to take care of this place again before you came back, but I didn't expect you to come back so early and bring me such a surprise." Si Kouxi smiled mischievously and stroked his stomach gently, as if the people around him were looking forward to the arrival of this little life.
"However, you may want to go see your second brother." Lan Jing thought of Si Kouqing's face that couldn't be darker when he retired from the dynasty that day, and felt funny. Si Kouxi didn't understand what happened to the second brother. Lan Jing said: "Your second brother was already very busy because of Lan Xiao and Lan Se's affairs, so he just had time to rest and put this matter on the table again. He couldn't help but be unhappy. "Si Kouxi doesn't think that the second brother will be unhappy because of the many affairs, but aren't these jobs all the things of the Criminal Department?
Si Kouxi looked up and saw that the gardenia next to her had already budded, and she said while admiring, "You simply transferred my second brother to the Criminal Department." She was just joking, but who knew that Lan Jing would answer quickly: "Okay, it just so happens that the seat of the criminal department is vacant." Si Kouxi didn't have the heart to appreciate the gardenia when he heard it, so he looked at Lan Jing pleadingly and said, "Don't, I'm joking." Lan Jing looked at Si Kouxi with a smile and said, "But I'm serious. ”
Seeing that Lan Jing didn't seem to be joking, Si Kouxi immediately sat up straight and said, "My second brother is determined to contribute his youth to the great cause of the country, at this time, if you ask him to be the secretary of the Criminal Department, he will die of sadness!" Lan Jing said disapprerovingly: "Which position is not solving problems for the emperor?" And it's not that you can do it well if you want to do it, and Si Kouqing has done a good job in these few things, so the emperor and I have the intention to do it. Si Kouxi wilted all of a sudden, and he felt unhappy when he looked at the man in front of him who refused to back down and let himself go to the second brother's mouth.
Si Kouxi suddenly broke away from Lan Jing's hand, and said with a pout, "I don't think you love me anymore." With that, he ran into the house. Lan Jing is a little confused by the second monk, where does he not love her? Yan Shu has been waiting on the sidelines, and she is helpless when she sees her young lady running away like this. She had no choice but to step forward and say, "Lord, the princess is pregnant and has an uncertain temper. Be humble. "Okay, Yan Shu said so, Lan Jing naturally doesn't care, he also hopes that Xi'er can always keep a good mood.
