Chapter Twenty-Six: Turning the Tiger Out of the Mountain

Qi Yan bowed his head and said, "To be honest, I also had such thoughts during the war, but I didn't think much about it when this was beneficial to us. Now that I think about it, there are many strange things. But now that the war is over, nothing unusual has happened! ”

"No," Qi Shan shook his head, rolled up the secret letter in his hand and lit it, watching it burn in person, and said, "Isn't it a strange thing for us to enter Beijing with the barbarian proton?" ”

Hearing this, Qi Yan frowned, and suddenly realized, "Not bad! We left the southwest, and the barbarian proton entered the palace again, this ...... Couldn't be! ”

"Turn the tiger away from the mountain." Qi Shan said slowly.

"I will enter the palace immediately and talk to the emperor!" Qi Yan immediately slapped the table and got up.

Qi Shan also immediately got up and grabbed him, "It's not right! ”

Seeing Qi Yan looking at him puzzled, he hurriedly explained, "First, these are just our speculations and delusions, and there is no actual evidence, so it may be difficult to convince the emperor; Second, if the barbarians really have an ulterior purpose as we suspected, rashly entering the palace will inevitably startle the snake, but miss the opportunity. ”

"How's that to be?"

Qi Shan helped him sit down and said, "It's better to press it down first, and after the New Year, we will ask to return to the southwest." ”

Qi Yan nodded, and his heart could only be like this, so he said, "It's okay, it's just that I can go back to the southwest alone, and you can continue to stay in Kyoto." ”

He took a sip of water, looked at Qi Shan with a puzzled face, and said, "Don't you like Princess Rong'an?" Stay, plan well, hug the beauty, and open up the branches and leaves for my Qi family. ”

Qi Shan was instantly overjoyed when he heard this, but he had always been indifferent and serious in front of everyone, and at this moment, he only curled the corners of his mouth slightly, but said, "The marriage of the Lin family is ......?"

Qi Yan waved his hand, looked at the joy that Qi Shan's eyes couldn't hide, and he was also happy, but he still suppressed his smile and pretended to be serious, "It's okay, it's okay to be a grandfather and be cheeky and run for you again!" ”

In the silent and dark palace, in a dilapidated palace where the wind was raging, a young man dressed in foreign costumes sat alone in front of a dilapidated wooden table, he listened carefully to the prayers of the man in black kneeling at his feet, and then overturned the table in front of him with a palm, and then the voice of suppressed anger sounded above the head of the man in black.

"A bunch of rubbish!"

The man in black shook and said busily, "Your Highness is angry!" Please forgive your sins! ”

The wind in the garden stopped, and the faint candlelight no longer flickered, and the handsome face of the alien young man's jaw as sharp as a knife slowly appeared.

It was the proton sent by the barbarians to the country - Nazoda.

A weird grin broke out of his lips, and he said with a cold smile, "Forgiveness? Why forgive sins, but die in the line of duty. ”

This means that the group of people want to die, the man in black swallowed his saliva with difficulty, and said in an unsteady tone, "Yes, my subordinates will do it immediately!" ”

Just as he was about to leave, Nazoda spoke again, "Go to Beidi as soon as possible and tell them to speed up." ”

His eyes were cold, and there was no trace of warmth in his words, "If you don't do it well, you will jump into the pit of ten thousand poisons." ”

After the winter, the days seem to be shorter, and it will arrive at Laba in a flash, and the palace will set up a banquet to invite hundreds of officials and their families to spend the festival together.

Jing Ci's back injury has been healed, and he has been bored in the house for nearly a month, so he is full of expectations for this banquet.

She picked up a box of rouge and asked Mama Chen behind her, "Are these the ones sent by the general?" ”

Mama Chen shook her head, and her ten fingers quickly pulled out a flying fairy bun, and said, "Those slaves and maids sent by Qi Shizi have been put in the warehouse, you are young, where can you use such bright colors?" ”

She looked at the beauty in the mirror and said with satisfaction, "Your Highness is now a natural good color." ”

Jing Ci wore a vermilion floitter-trailing bird flower dress today, and a white fox fur cape, which lined her complexion with snow-white eyebrows and picturesque eyes.

In the afternoon, she set off, and as soon as she entered the palace, she met Princess Hui and Jinghan and others, and was busy with the help of Mama Chen, who stepped forward and saluted, saying, "I haven't seen you for many days, how are the four emperors?" ”

Jing Ci has been raised by the queen's side since she was a child, and Princess Yu Hui is like half a daughter, but she is thinking about Jing Ci and Jiang Yibai a few days ago, and her tone is not as close as before, and she only said politely, "I'm fine, but you, are you hurt?" ”

Jing retracted his eyes and said respectfully, "Aunt Xie Sihuang cares, and I'm fine." ”

Princess Hui nodded, cared a few more words, and ordered Jinghan to go to the queen's palace with her.

Jing Han grabbed Jing Ci's arm and said, "Third sister, you can be regarded as going out." ”

Jing Ci knocked her head and scolded with a smile, "Say it again!" You don't come to see me because you know I can't go out? ”

Jing Han was beaten and argued bitterly, "Where am I not going to see you?" I offended my second brother, and I haven't even gone out of King Hui's Mansion these days. ”

She looked around, took Jing Ci and walked two steps quickly, and whispered, "That day, I said that I leaked my mouth, and I ruined the good things of my second brother, and he was angry and complained to my father about me, and my father punished me for copying books at home every day." ”

Jing Ci smiled and asked, "How many days has Uncle Four Emperors returned to Beijing?" ”

Jing Han tilted his head and thought for a while, "It's been about three or four days, originally the emperor's grandfather wanted to set up a banquet for his father to wash the dust, but his father refused." ”

"Uncle Sihuang has always disliked these customs and etiquette, and it is understandable," Jing Ci asked again, "Your second brother blames you for bad things, so is he interested in Ruowei?" ”

"Hmm!"

Jing Han nodded vigorously and said in a low voice, "I just knew, it turns out that the second brother has always liked Ruowei!" ”

"What about this...... Does Ruowei know? ”

"Who knows?" Jing Han sniffed and turned his head to look away, "I haven't seen her in days." ”

The two of them whispered while walking in the direction of the Imperial Garden, it was still early, and the ladies went to see the queen together, leaving a group of young ladies to wander around the Imperial Garden.

The two sisters of Jingci and Jinghan asked several people before they found Lin Ruowei who was drinking tea under the corridor, and the two walked over with light steps, sat down next to Lin Ruowei left and right, and quickly grabbed Lin Ruowei's arm.

Jing Han said, "It's so good! Don't be angry with me, my second brother has already punished me......"

"Don't mention him!"

Lin Ruowei was startled by the two, and as soon as she relaxed, she heard this sentence, and hurriedly interrupted her, "Don't mention him!" ”

Jing Han hurriedly asked, "Why?" ”

Hearing this, Lin Ruowei's face turned red quickly, and she twisted and said, "Anyway, anyway, you are not allowed to mention him!" ”

"But you should always tell us what happened," Jing Ci and Jing Han glanced at each other, went into battle in person, and persuaded, "If the fourth cousin bullies you, we will definitely give you anger!" ”

"Oops!"

Lin Ruowei struggled to stand up, and walked back and forth in the pavilion several times before saying, "A few days ago, he came to look for me, he said, he said, he said, ......"

He said that he liked her for many years, but because of his status as the concubine of the palace, he never dared to show his heart to her.

He said that if he hadn't called Jing Han to break his mouth this time, he would still be by her side as always.

He said that every "chance encounter" in the past was actually carefully designed by him, just to be able to chat with her.

He said that the water was three thousand, and he was only willing to take one scoop.

She babbled and told Jing Ci and Jing Han all what Shi Jingting said to her, and finally said with a red face, "He teased me......"

"What's the teasing here?" Jing Han was the first to come back to his senses, and defended his second brother with a red face, "This, this is clear, yes, yes...... Three sisters! You said! ”

Jing Ci looked at Jing Han who was throwing the pot at will in shock, and said with a red face after being stunned, "Fourth cousin, this is a confession!" ”

After she said this, she suddenly felt ashamed, and her heart beat faster than when Qi Shan held her hand, but unexpectedly, Lin Ruowei whispered, "I know." ”

"You know? So what do you mean? Jing Han got up and walked in front of her, and asked, "How did you reply to the second brother?" ”

"I said it," Lin Ruowei turned his back to her, "Let me think about it again......

She has been smart and clever since she was a child, where can she not guess the mind of this "prince of Hui's mansion"?

From the time Jing Han said that she would also give her clothes, she carefully recalled that the common encounters in the past, the fox caught more in the name of Jing Han during the autumn hunt, he had actually been silently paying attention to her, silently approaching her, and silently treating her well.

She actually never cared about any concubines, but she always remembered the "marriage contract" that her father and mother had mentioned, what she was afraid of was not that Shi Jingting was not a good person, but that she was afraid that the two would be happy but had no fate.

However, she didn't say anything to Jing Ci and Jing Hanyan, but only said in a vague manner, "I've been thirsty for a long time, let's go to Ah Ci's princess garden to rest, let's go, let's go......"

As soon as the three of them arrived and walked out of the pavilion, they only took two steps, and Lin Ruowei bent down and hugged her stomach with an embarrassed and painful expression.

Jing Ci hurriedly asked, "What's going on?" What's uncomfortable? ”

I heard Lin Ruowei endure the discomfort and whispered, "Maybe the water for making tea is not good," she said embarrassedly, "Ah Ci, I'm in trouble." ”

Jing Ci thought for a while and said, "There is a clean room in the southeast corner of the Imperial Garden, although it is a little off, but there are few people there, and no one will hang out in ordinary times." ”

Hearing this, Lin Ruo's eyes lit up slightly, and he nodded, "Okay!" But, I don't know the way. ”

"I'll take you!" Jing Han hurriedly said, "Third sister, you are seriously injured before you recover, don't blow the wind outside, I'll take Ruowei to find it, you go back to the princess garden and wait for us!" ”

After that, she led Lin Ruowei and left in a hurry, and Jing Ci also turned around and walked in the direction of Princess Garden.

The princess garden is not far from the queen's Wutong Palace, and when passing through the Wutong Palace, Mama Chen said, "You have been away from the palace for many days, and the queen must be quite worried, why don't you go and ask for peace first?" ”

Jing bowed his head and said, "I originally wanted to go to ask for peace as soon as I entered the palace, but in the past, when there was a banquet in the palace every year, the imperial grandmother had to be visited by the wives and daughters of hundreds of officials, and I was worried about which lady I inadvertently bumped into." ”

While the two were talking, the sharp-eyed palace maid of the Wutong Palace saw them, and trotted out to greet them, "Your Highness Rong'an, you are back!" Come in, Niangniang and Princess Hui will talk about you! ”
