Chapter 7: Meet Again

"The Queen Mother! I plan to let Zichen follow Zheng Yang to the military camp to experience the experience this time, what do you think? The Emperor inquired about the Empress Dowager's opinion.

"The eldest prince is already fifteen years old, and it is time to go to the military camp to experience it." The Queen Mother is more supportive, and she can learn a lot of experience in leading troops with Zheng Yang.

The queen was about to give her opinion, but the children who were playing outside ran in.

Qiu Jing was the first to say: "Uncle Huang! I'm going too! ”

Qiu Xia then said: "Uncle Huang! I'm going too! ”

Shan Ziyuan was not far behind: "Father! And me! ”

These three children are the same age, and they have to be together in everything. Although Qiu Xia is a girl, her personality is wilder than that of a boy, and she has to join in the fun when she hears that Zichen can go to the barracks.

The adults laughed when they heard this.

The Emperor smiled at the children and said, "Your spirit is very commendable, and I am glad that you all want to participate in this arduous experience, but you are still too young, and you will have the opportunity to go through it in a few years." ”

The children tried to convince the emperor to allow them to go, but naturally no one did.

Qiu Lin pulled Qiu Xia and said: "Besides, the barracks do not accept female soldiers and female generals, what are you here to make a fuss." ”

Qiu Xia was very unwilling: "Why can't the barracks accept women?" ”

Everyone laughed again.

……

"When is Big Brother going to leave?" Qiu Lin looked at her eldest brother and asked.

"I'll leave in three days."

"Big brother, then you go out carefully." Qiu Lin knew that the eldest brother was about to go out and there would be a lot of things, and she also had to deal with a lot of things on her side, so the brother and sister might not have time to get together.

"The same goes for you. Remember to report your itinerary on time and don't worry about it anymore. Zheng Yang reminded her again that his sister was used to being casual, so he had to remind her from time to time.

Qiu Lin scratched his head and shoulders and shrunk slightly, and responded in a weak voice: "Got it!" Got it! ”

……

After chatting for a while, everyone invited An to go back to their homes with the Queen Mother.

Of course, Qiu Lin is nominally a prince, so naturally she can't stay in the palace anymore, she has her own mansion in the capital. Usually the children lived in the palace, and when she returned to the capital, the children would follow her back to the mansion.

At the gate of the palace, they separated from their eldest brother and went back to their respective mansions.

On the way home, Qiu Jing and Qiu Xia sat in the carriage with Qiu Lin's arm in her arms, chattering non-stop, of course, Qiu Xia's little talker said a lot, Qiu Xia said ten sentences, Qiu Jing only said two or three sentences.

Two months later

Today, the Yasukuni delegation is visiting, and the emperor has set up a state banquet in the imperial palace to clean up the dust of the mission, and all the princes in the capital must attend the dinner. Qiu Lin is naturally going to go, although she is just an "idle prince" who has no real power in name.

Qiu Lin accompanied the Queen Mother in the harem and chatted with the queen for an afternoon, and estimated that the dinner was about to start before turning to the banquet hall. When she arrived at the banquet, the envoys also arrived, and she took advantage of the crowd to let the little eunuch lead the way to her seat.

Yasukuni sent a ten-member delegation this time, led by Wen Qixiao, the king of Qi.

Wen Qixiao sat down and looked up at the opposite side, opposite was the seat where the princes of Shan Li were sitting, and there were several princes he had dealt with before. At this time, a man walked to the seat under the leadership of the little eunuch, he was wearing a jade crown, wearing a pale gold dress, a jade pendant under the waist seal, and a folding fan in his left hand. He greeted people as he walked, and after a while he was seated. He was sitting in the last row diagonally opposite Wen Qixiao, and he could see his entire appearance clearly after he took the seat, and this glance was like a thunderbolt that blew Wen Qixiao into motion.

"Jingyi?!" Wen Qixiao was so excited that he almost blurted out.

It took twelve points of strength to slowly suppress the excitement, and he didn't lose his etiquette and manners at this banquet, and took several deep breaths to completely calm down, but his eyes kept staring and couldn't take them off.

Seeing that everyone had already taken the seat, the emperor picked up the wine bottle and stood up, and said to the Yasukuni delegation: "Welcome to the prince of Qi and the ambassadors of Yasukuni to send an envoy to my Shan Li country, although Yasukuni and my Shan Li country have been friends for many years, but today is the second time that Yasukuni has sent a single Li country, it is a rare guest, there are friends from afar, I will hold a special state banquet tonight for everyone to wash the wind and dust, everyone should have fun!" ”

When everyone saw the emperor stand up, they all followed suit, and raised their glasses together.

Wen Qixiao took the lead and saluted the emperor and said, "Thank you for the emperor's hospitality." ”

"Come on,!" The emperor was the first to take a bite and dry.

"!" The people below also raised their wine bottles and took a sip.

Next, the following singing and dancing groups, the host and guest cheered together......

……

Qiu Lin was originally here to make up the numbers, she was not interested in national affairs, and it was none of her business for the mission to come, she was now more interested in the wine at this banquet, as soon as she took a seat, she picked up the small wine jug on the case and sniffed it, with a look of intoxication: Hmm...... The smell is even more mellow than last time, and the sweetness is stronger than last time. Hurriedly poured a bottle of cat and took a small sip: good wine! This batch of fruit wine is not bad, and the longer it is stored, the better it becomes. Next time, you can brew more and hide it.

The wine that Qiu Lin drinks is different from others, others are ordinary sake, and she drinks her own fruit wine, which is fruity and mellow, with a low alcohol content, drinking it is like drinking fruit juice, it is not easy to get drunk, and it is okay to drink a few more bottles. Every time there is a banquet, the second brother will arrange fruit wine for her to drink in advance, so that there will be no drunkenness.

Qiu Lin got up with everyone and toasted a glass of wine, and after sitting down, he refilled a glass and drank it slowly, chatting with several princes around him from time to time. Anyway, everyone got up to toast and she also got up to toast, everyone sat down and she sat down, someone came to toast with her, she drank, someone came to chat with her, she accompanied the chat, anyway, her task is to show her face, and then eat and drink, as long as she doesn't embarrass the second brother, the rest is none of her business.

Wen Qixiao forced himself to cope with the dinner, but most of his eyes fell on the light-colored figure opposite, watching him sometimes drink, sometimes pick up vegetables, and sometimes chat with people...... Even the people of the mission were very attentive in the past, and his words and deeds were very elegant.

Just as someone from the embassy came back from the opposite side, Wen Qixiao grabbed him and asked, "Who is that one in a light-colored costume?" ”

"Back to the King of Qi, that's the idle king of Shan Li Kingdom!"

Wen Qixiao's eyes looked straight at the figure opposite, and he said softly: "Leisure, Wang!" ”

By the way, the man who looked like Jingyi last time I saw in Cloud City should be him, but I didn't expect to see him again in this palace, he turned out to be a prince.
