CHAPTER XXXVI

Within a few days, Du Wenbo received the fish talisman and clothes sent by the Qi Palace, it seems that the King of Qi was lifted by the emperor, Du Wenbo did not dare to delay, packed up, and went to the Qi Palace.

Du Wenbo knelt on the ground: "The minister greets His Royal Highness King Qi." ”

"No courtesy, Du Changshi, hurry up."

"His Royal Highness King Xie Qi." Du Wenbo got up and asked again: "May I ask Your Highness, what should Weichen do?" ”

King Qi smiled: "Don't be in a hurry today, you can accompany me to go shopping." ”

Du Wenbo was surprised when he heard it: "Shopping? ”

"yes, let's go." After speaking, King Qi gestured to Ma Ping. Ma Ping hurriedly went out to prepare the carriage.

When he arrived at the door, King Qi turned to Du Wenbo and said, "You will sit in a carriage with me." ”

"Yes." Du Wenbo responded.

After getting into the carriage, King Qi didn't say anything, just closed his eyes and recuperated. Du Wenbo also closed his eyes, feeling very uncomfortable: If it weren't for my father, how could I sit with such a wicked person! Thinking of Xin Yao again, Du Wenbo only felt that his chest was clogged in a panic, and hatred appeared on his face.

King Qi opened his eyes, looked at Du Wenbo's complicated expression, and asked, "Is Changshi uncomfortable?" ”

Du Wenbo was startled when he heard King Qi talking, and when he opened his eyes, he saw that King Qi was staring at him, and he hurriedly clenched his fists: "No, no, it's just that I was a little anxious to eat this morning, and my stomach was uncomfortable, and His Royal Highness Xie cared." ”

"You're in a hurry to come to me, so you eat fast, right?" King Qi joked.

Du Wenbo nodded subconsciously.

The carriage stopped, Du Wenbo got out of the car, only to find that it was the most prosperous "Yipinxuan" in Tanzhou, there were often literati and scholars, dignitaries and dignitaries gathered here, Du Wenbo seemed to understand the reason why King Qi came here, and he didn't really want to drink tea.

The two entered Yipinxuan, and King Qi did not go to the private room, but sat in the hall.

Soon someone came up to say hello, King Qi was in a good mood, and he was very patient, and introduced Du Wenbo one by one, and soon, there were many people in the hall who already knew the long history of the Qi Palace, and he was the son of the Du family who was famous in the capital, and they were discussing: "It seems that the King of Qi is not as unbearable as the rumors say, otherwise with Du Gongzi's temperament, how could he serve in his house." ”

"Yes, looking at this King Qi today, he has a gentle temperament, humility and courtesy, but the rumors are really not credible! ……”

"I heard that His Royal Highness the King of Qi asked the emperor for marriage, it is Liu Yan, the daughter of General Liu, who made a fuss a few days ago." "Yes, I have also heard that the King of Qi is in love with Miss Liu Yan, and the girl Liu is strong in martial arts, and it is estimated that the King of Qi was also in a hurry at that time, and there was no way to provoke the girl Liu......"

Seeing that today's goal had been achieved, King Qi drank tea again unhurriedly, got up and took Du Wenbo out of Yipinxuan, and personally sent Du Wenbo back to his home.

For several days, the king of Qi took him to the most lively places to walk around, and he was also kind and charitable, and when he saw the beggars throw some broken silver, he set up a free porridge stall in the east of the city to relieve the beggars and the people who fled and despaired.

For a while, the people in the city really looked at this King of Qi differently, only saying that he had changed his temper and changed for the better.

******

Feng Sijiao waited in the Du Mansion for a long time, and finally waited for Du Wenbo to come back, and eagerly greeted him, "Wenbo, I can wait for you to come back, I heard that you have an errand in the Qi Palace, great!" Congratulations! ”

Du Wenbo said with a cold face: "What is there to congratulate!" ”

Feng Sijiao said with a smile: "I'm congratulating you on finally wanting to open it, and besides, this official position is not small, so that my father will not object to our relationship." ”

"Really? Then I would like to thank Miss Feng for her kindness. ”

Feng Sijiao didn't expect Du Wenbo to say this, her heart was overjoyed, and she stepped forward and grabbed Du Wenbo's arm.

Du Wenbo didn't refute, still let Feng Sijiao boast about his arm, and the two walked slowly.

Feng Sijiao felt that Du Wenbo had changed a lot recently, at least he wasn't losing face to himself, maybe he could forget that Xin Yao and become with himself.

******

Liu Yan has been unable to sleep and eat for the past two days, since she heard that the king of Qi wants to marry herself, she can't wait to break into the palace of the king of Qi and kill him directly, and in the morning she heard her mother say that her father was coming back, and she was anxious to wait for her father in the hall early.

Since General Liu received the holy decree to return to Beijing, he has been rushing back non-stop.

Liu Yan sat in the hall, heard the neighing of horses outside, knew that her father was back, and hurriedly greeted her, just out of the house, she saw her father striding in, Liu Yan's nose was sore, and she knelt down in front of her father, "Daddy......"

Tears came down with a cry.

General Liu had never seen his little daughter look like this, so he hurriedly stepped forward to help her up, and said distressedly: "Child, don't be afraid, if there is anything Daddy will make the decision for you, it is not his turn to do anything wrong here!" ”

"Hmm." Liu Yan responded and said: "Daddy, now that villain asks for a decree to marry his daughter, what should I do?" ”

"Don't be afraid, you tell me carefully about what happened that day."

"Okay, that day I went to Baibao Zhai with Xiaocui to get a set of heads, which was a gift for my mother's birthday, but I didn't expect that the king of Qi was also in Baibaozhai, as soon as his daughter entered the door, he stared straight at it, and came over to touch his daughter's face, and his daughter slapped him in a fit of anger, and he ordered the guards outside the door to come in and arrest me, I pushed Xiaocui away, and a few guards fought together, but I didn't expect that the king of Qi actually used a trick to sprinkle drugs on his daughter's face, and her daughter fainted. When he woke up, he found himself tied to King Qi's bed. Or Xiaocui took the opportunity to escape back to the house at the gate of Baibaozhai and told Zhou Yuandong that I came to save me. Otherwise, my daughter is afraid that she is already dead......"

General Liu's face was blue with anger: "This shameless bully! ”

"Daddy, now he actually wants to marry his daughter, such a wicked person, how can his daughter marry him!"

"Yes, he wants to marry you, not only to settle this matter, but also to have other plans, tomorrow for his father to enter the palace, for you to push off this family business, you go back to the room first, let your father think about it, later, you are coming to the study."

"Yes, there is Father Lao."

After his daughter left, General Liu called Zhou Yuandong, "You go to Baibaozhai to find the shopkeeper, find a way to let him come out to testify, and it is best to find people from the surrounding shops, the more witnesses, the better." ”

"Yes."

Zhou Yuandong walked out quickly.

About an hour, Zhou Yuandong came back, saw General Liu, and said: "General, the subordinates found the shopkeeper of Baibaozhai, the shopkeeper, coerced and lured, but none of them was willing to come forward to testify, and even the surrounding shops closed the store door early after hearing about it, and the subordinates really had no choice but to come back and resume their lives." ”

General Liu sighed: "Alas! As expected, I think that King Qi has already made preparations, if Yan'er really doesn't want to marry him, there is only one trick to do. ”

Zhou Yuandong: "If I need subordinates, I am willing to go to the soup." ”

"Okay, you grew up with Yan'er since you were a child, and you practiced martial arts together, I know your feelings for her, and I can entrust Yan'er to you in the future, and I can rest assured."

Zhou Yuandong knelt down and said, "General, please rest assured, even if I die, I won't let anyone hurt Miss at all." ”

"Okay, okay, let me think about it, you stand down."

"Yes."

******

The next day, Liu Guohui entered the palace to meet the emperor, knelt on the ground and shouted long live.

Emperor Jin was very happy to see Liu Guohui and said, "Liu Aiqing, get up." Liu Guohui got up and stood aside with his hands tied.

"I asked you to come back this time because of Shi Zhong and Aiqing's little daughter, I don't know what Liu Aiqing's opinion is?"

"Thanks to the emperor's love, Weichen may have to live up to the emperor's good intentions."

"Oh, why? Isn't my son's stone heavy? ”

"No, no, of course not." Liu Guohui hurriedly said: "Wechen knows His Royal Highness King Qi's intentions for the little girl, but the little girl already has someone in her heart, if she marries, Wechen is only afraid of tarnishing the reputation of His Royal Highness the King of Qi." ”

"With such a thing, what kind of son can win the admiration of Miss Liu?"

Liu Guohui replied cautiously: "It's Weichen's general Zhou Yuandong, they have been childhood sweethearts since childhood, and the little girl has been saved by Zhou Yuandong a few times, so the two children are happy with each other...... Wechen came back this time and persuaded the little girl, His Royal Highness the King of Qi is wise and martial, marrying is the best marriage, how can the little girl only have that Zhou Yuandong in her heart, Wechen thought about it, and I don't know if the little girl is innocent...... Therefore, please also ask the emperor to retract the order. ”

Emperor Jin nodded, thoughtful......

Liu Guohui stood aside and felt uneasy, looking up at Emperor Jin's expression from time to time.

"Okay, since Liu Aiqing said so, I don't want to beat the mandarin ducks, so this marriage will be over." Emperor Jin said.

Liu Guohui saw that Emperor Jin was not annoyed, and he was relieved a lot, and immediately knelt down and kowtowed: "Emperor Xie is complete." ”

Emperor Jin smiled: "Okay, since the two children are in love, Liu Aiqing might as well do the marriage of the two as soon as possible, which is also a beautiful thing." ”

"Yes, Emperor Xie is considerate, and the minister will do it immediately." Liu Guohui kowtowed heavily.

"Okay, get up, it's okay, you can go back, I'm tired." Emperor Jin waved his hand.

"Yes, the minister retired."

Liu Guohui came out of the palace and finally breathed a sigh of relief, after this incident, he and the King of Qi were married, fortunately, now is the time to use the army, the King of Qi will not treat him for the time being, take a step at a time.

******

King Qi leaned on the couch and listened to the song, several dancing girls danced below, kneeling in front of the couch Ji Meiren who had just been sent to the house a few days ago, a standard Jiangnan woman, her skin could be broken by blowing, her willow waist, and her slender jade hands were kneading on King Qi's legs.

King Qi looked at her and patted the couch under him. Ji Meiren stood up with a smile, moved to the King of Qi, blessed her body, and said coquettishly: "Lord Wang......" and then sat next to him. King Qi pulled her, Ji Meiren fell on the couch, and the two kissed me and me together, as if no one was there.

Seeing Ma Ping come in, King Qi waved his hand, and the dancing girl and the musician stopped and stepped aside.

Ma Ping clasped his fists and saluted: "Lord Wang, there is news from the palace that General Liu rejected this family business, saying that Liu Yanxin has a belonging, and he has a personal relationship with the general." ”

King Qi narrowed his eyes, "What did the emperor say?" ”

"The emperor has approved it."

"Humph! What a good excuse! King Qi kicked away Ji Meiren and stood up. Ji Meiren fell off the couch all of a sudden, hit the table, and fell to the ground in pain and hummed softly.

King Qi was so upset when he heard this, he pointed at Ji Meiren, "Take her down and reward her." ”

Ma Ping took the order, dragged Ji Meiren in the past, and walked out of the main hall.

About ten days later, General Liu's mansion put up lights and held the happy event of Liu Yan and Zhou Yuandong.
