Chapter 32: Huan'er

This discovery made Ji Yuanda's face suddenly darken, today's banquet Ji Minghuan was unwell, Ji Yan's grade was not enough, neither of them came, there was only one Ji Yanqing sitting behind him, and after thinking about it, he could only forcibly hold back this anger.

In front, Qi Shan had already gotten up and came to the middle of the hall, he knelt down with the hem of his clothes, and bowed his hand to say, "Chen Qi Shan has seen the emperor, and I wish the emperor good health and eternal stability." ”

"Good!" The emperor clapped his hands, pointed at Qi Shan and smiled at the national teacher, "The national teacher really knows people!" This person is the grandson of the protector of the country, and he can be regarded as my nephew! Truly brave and loyal! ”

He walked around the table, staggered down, personally picked up Qi Shan, glanced him up and down, his eyes were full of appreciation, and his tone was extremely affectionate, "Say it!" What do you want? Grandpa fulfills one of your wishes! ”

Qi Shan's eyes lit up when he heard this, he raised his head and quietly glanced at Jing Ci who was whispering to Mama Chen in front of him, and suddenly had a thought in his heart.

He immediately took a step back and knelt down again, and said sincerely and eagerly, "Your Majesty, the minister, the minister wants a piece of paper......"

"Report ——!"

Qi Shan's words were hastily interrupted, and a sentry in tattered armor with a dirty face rushed into the main hall and shouted, "Report! The border is urgent! The prince of Beidi led a large army to invade Dali, and two cities have been connected! ”

He hurriedly knelt in front of Emperor Pingchang, presented the secret letter, and continued, "Now Hucheng and Lancheng have fallen!" Wen Zheng, the commander of the Northeast Overseer, has led 100,000 Zhenbei troops to meet the battle! ”

As soon as the news spread, the originally quiet banquet hall became lively again, and the officials talked about it and people were panicked.

"What!"

Emperor Pingchang was full of drunkenness and suddenly sobered up, his body shook and almost fell, fortunately Qi Shan helped him, he slowed down and hurriedly fought for Qi Shan, snatched the secret letter from the soldier's hand, read it carefully a few times, but suddenly relaxed.

He said to Baiguan, "This Beidi came suddenly, and everyone was unprepared, so that this Hucheng and Lancheng fell into the hands of the enemy." Now that Wen Zheng has hand-picked the soldiers and horses, he will be able to drive the Beidi military horses out of my big departure in a few days! ”

He let go and dropped the secret letter to the ground, and said nonchalantly, "It's okay, it's okay......

Everyone relaxed when they heard this, and they raised their glasses and said, "The emperor is deeply blessed, and Beidi is not to be afraid!" ”

Emperor Pyeongchang waved his hand and smiled proudly, and when he lowered his head, he saw Qi Shan still kneeling respectfully in front of him, and hurriedly helped him up and said, "What does this mean?" ”

As soon as the officials heard it, they knew that the emperor had woken up from wine and forgot what he said, Ji Yuanda was the first to speak and mock, "The emperor forgot? You ......" He shook off Ji Yanqing and grabbed his hand behind him, and continued, "You said that you want to fulfill one of Qi Shizi's wishes!" ”

Emperor Pingchang laughed twice, and suddenly felt a little dissatisfied in his heart, but now that it is difficult to ride a tiger, he has to pretend to be kind and say to Qi Shandao, "What kind of wish does Shan'er have?" Go ahead. ”

Ignoring the queen's frequent eyes, Qi Shan raised his head and said, "The minister has nothing else to ask for, just a marriage contract!" ”

"Engagement?" Emperor Pyeongchang laughed and said, "Okay, let's talk about it...... Whose daughter are you looking at? ”

Everyone immediately forgot about Fang Cai's shocking moment, and also laughed, and the Ministry of Rites Shangshu took the lead in saying, "Didn't Qi Shizi look at the emperor taking the lead in giving marriage to Shuhe County Jun, right?" ”

While the room was full of laughter, General Weiyuan also said drunkly, "Qi Shizi, what's the matter with the marriage contract?" You might as well choose another one so that you don't regret it later! ”

The emperor also laughed, he sat back on the dragon chair, and followed, "What General Weiyuan said is good! Choose one again! ”

The queen seconded, "Shan'er! The emperor loves you, so you will be obedient and choose again," she looked at Qi Shan with a little caution, and said quietly, "Don't live up to the emperor's kindness." ”

She grabbed the handkerchief in her hand as she spoke, her eyes glanced at the faces of the unmarried women in the room, but she never dared to look in the direction of Lin Qihan's family.

Unexpectedly, Qi Shan still said, "The minister has said, the minister has nothing else to ask for, that's all." ”

Seeing that he was so serious, the emperor also put away his smile, he looked around the hall, and said, "You tell me first, who is it?" ”

Jing Ci, who was sitting under King Ping, really didn't expect this to happen today, she squeezed the cup in her hand tightly, and pretended to be nothing, raised her hand and drank it all, but she never dared to turn her head to look at Qi Shan.

Qi Shan took all this in his eyes, and was about to open his mouth when he heard the queen say again, "Is marriage a big thing a child's play?" Such a rash discussion will definitely hurt the reputation of the girl's family. Your Majesty, why don't you mention it for now, and when the banquet is over, ask Shan'er to tell you in private? ”

Hearing this, after thinking for a while, the emperor really said, "Yes, then ...... According to the Queen. Shan'er, you go back and sit down first. ”

Qi Shan opened his mouth, originally wanted to take advantage of the situation to pursue, but his mind suddenly drifted through all the things that Jing Ci had just pretended to cover up, and he knew that all this must be scaring her, so he didn't say anything more, and got up quietly and went back.

After making a fuss, and just learned the news of Beidi's attack, everyone was a little tired in their hearts, and after a while, Emperor Pingchang tiredly said a few words and left the table first, and called Qi Shan before leaving.

Seeing this, the queen was also anxious, and after holding on for a while, she found a reason to leave.

She hurried to the imperial study with the palace people, and before she arrived, she heard the roar of Emperor Pingchang inside, and he said, "Okay, you actually fell in love with the woman of my master's royal family!" ”

The queen immediately felt cold in her heart and secretly said that it was not good, and she thought about it carefully, and first excluded Jingruo Jingya from the Ping Palace, and her granddaughter was a marriage contract since childhood, but the rest of the women in the royal family were either too old and had already married, or they were too young and too young to be married.

She thought about it in a disorderly manner, and when she was so anxious that she scratched her ears and cheeks, she suddenly had a flash of inspiration, and heard Qi Shan in the room say softly, "The minister loves His Royal Highness Rong'an, and she is the only one who will not marry in this life, and ask the emperor to fulfill it." ”

"Queen Mother! Empress! ”

Seeing that she had really guessed correctly, the queen smiled bitterly twice, and her eyes turned black and fainted.

Seeing that the emperor and the queen had left the table, the ministers lost interest, and after greeting each other for a while, they each led their families away.

Ji Yuanda walked out of the banquet hall, his heart was full of anger, and he couldn't help but whisper, "Presumptuous!" ”

"Father is angry," Ji Yanqing behind him hurriedly persuaded in a low voice, "The national teacher doesn't want to suddenly get involved with us." ”

Ji Yuanda sneered and said angrily, "I don't need you to teach me!" Today is not the word, if the word comes, can there still be Qi Shan's share? As for you," he looked at Ji Yan deeply from top to bottom, and finally shook his head and said, "I really don't know what my father likes about you?" Not only do you teach yourself, but you also listen to your ideas the most, which is really ...... Hum! Shortsighted! ”

After he finished speaking, he got into the car angrily, and the lady on the right, Ji Zhou, also wanted to get into the car, and the moment she stepped up, she suddenly remembered something, and turned her head to Ji Yanqing and said, "Our carriage has always been narrow, and your father needs to rest after drinking." Yan Qing, why don't you work harder and go back. ”

Ji Yanqing's face changed, but he immediately smiled again and said respectfully, "Yes, it's good for my son to go back, and I have to worry about my mother taking care of my father." ”

Jifu's carriage rode away, leaving only Ji Yanqing standing in place, Beppu's carriages drove past him one by one, and all the gossip was blown into the ears of him and the black-clothed man in the dark of the palace wall.

When he had gone far, the man in black also departed, and he did so well that in a few leaps he reached his destination, the palace where Natsuda lived.

The man in black carefully replied to Na Cuo Da what had just happened, and after a while, Na Cuo Da said, "I can endure what ordinary people can't bear, and my joy and anger are not exposed in front of others, and the second son of Ji Fu is really young...... Promising! ”

Because of the wine and suddenly frightened, Queen Qi fell asleep until the early morning of the second day before waking up leisurely, only to wake up not long after, the emperor sent someone to invite her to the imperial study, she knew that it must be because of Qi Shan's business, she washed up at will and hurried over.

At the door of the imperial study, Qi Shan had been kneeling all night, and when he saw the queen coming, he hurriedly bowed his hand and said, "The minister has seen the queen's mother." ”

When the queen saw that his face was pale, and remembered the injury on his back a few days ago, the fire in her heart suddenly disappeared half, and she didn't have time to ask a question or two when she heard the voice of Emperor Pyeongchang coming from inside.

He shouted, "If he wants to kneel, let him kneel!" Kneel until he knows what he is wrong, until he understands who he is! ”

The queen hurriedly walked in and said, "The emperor is angry!" ”

She opened her mouth and was about to intercede for Qi Shan, when she saw Huan'er standing behind the emperor and shook her head lightly, and hurriedly changed her words, "The child is not sensible, you just scold, where do you need to make such a big fuss?" How can I get sick when the time comes? ”

Huan'er also persuaded, "What the queen said is good. The national teacher left the mortal dust and lived in the mountains for a long time, not only to refine the elixir for the emperor, but also to sincerely pray for the emperor, but if the emperor himself did not take care of his body, then no matter how devout the national teacher was, it would be in vain. ”

Seeing that she mentioned the national teacher, Emperor Pingchang did not get angry, nodded and said, "The national teacher is dedicated to me, and I know it in my heart." ”

"Since you know the national teacher's intentions, why don't you forgive Qi Shizi?" Huan'er poured a cup of tea and served it to him personally, and continued, "The national teacher has always attached great importance to the emperor, and Qi Shizi is the loyal head he personally elected, so he is also the pillar of the country like the national teacher, how can it chill his heart?" ”

Seeing that Emperor Pingchang was silent and took the tea and drank it, Huan'er said again, "Besides, you should also ask Princess Rong'an what she means." Although I have lived in the mountains for a long time with the national teacher, I saw at the banquet yesterday that Princess Rong'an has an extraordinary bearing, and Qi Shizi is even more personable. The emperor reprimanded Qi Shizi, but he was afraid that he was just wishful thinking and coveted the beauty and identity of the princess. But what if they are in love? ”

As soon as these words came out, Emperor Pingchang didn't make any moves, but the queen who was on the side changed her face.

First, this woman was not very obedient in her words, but instead of punishing her, the emperor was extremely obedient; Second, Huan'er deliberately wanted to match Qi Shan and Rong An!

These two discoveries made the queen's heart suddenly ripple, but the emperor's voice suddenly sounded in her ears again, and he said, "...... That's fine, come on! Xuanrong An enters the palace! ”
