Chapter 14: General Xue's Reward
Qi Yuan didn't come to the Jinghong Pavilion for half a month.
He promised to let Ji Heng go, but it didn't mean that Siniang would get by, conniving at Ji Xuan, Ji Huo finally disappeared from the Jinghong Pavilion, Siniang said that the Jinghong Pavilion couldn't accommodate Ji Xuan, so he let her go, and the other girls in the Jinghong Pavilion didn't know what happened.
Yin Qingqi thought that this was also the best result.
Ji Jue can also start a new life elsewhere.
Yin Qingqi was worried every day for half a month, obviously she brought it up, but she was cowardly first.
But what should come will come eventually, and half a month later, Qi Yuan will come.
It was no different than ever.
The afternoon sun is still as warm, and the wind is still as soft. The sons in the Thrilling Pavilion came as usual. It's just another Qi Yuan.
Yin Qingqi was helping Siniang do some chores in the hall, but Cuizhu suddenly ran to her side and reminded her in a low voice: "Miss Yin, the prince is here."
Qi Yuan is here.
Because Yin Qingqi stayed in the water for too long, the doctor told her to touch the water less these days. Yin Qingqi was originally cleaning the hall with brooms, but when she heard Cuizhu say this, she suddenly panicked.
She subconsciously wiped her skirt with her hand, which was her usual action to hide her nervousness.
She raised her face and asked Cuizhu, "Where is the prince now?"
Cuizhu naturally didn't know what Yin Qingqi was panicking about, and felt inexplicable, but still replied: "The prince wants a wing, and said that you should go directly to his wing, Miss Yin."
Yin Qingqi lowered her eyelids, didn't look at Cuizhu, and replied to Cuizhu softly: "I know, you go back to the room first,"
is not to go back to the wing room where the prince wants Yin Qingqi to go, but to return to his own wing.
Cuizhu was still confused in her heart, but she still didn't say anything, and went back to her room when she should come down.
Yin Qingqi also turned around and walked towards the wing where Qi Yuan was.
Yin Qingqi stood at the door of the wing, still hesitating.
Unexpectedly, the door of the wing room was pushed open.
Sure enough, it was Qi Yuan.
"Are you scared now?" Qi Yuan put one arm on the side of the door, and the other gently lifted up, and finally landed on Yin Qingqi's chin.
To be precise, it was Qi Yuan who provoked Yin Qingqi's chin.
Yin Qingqi's face gradually rose with Qi Yuan's raised arm, and she slowly spoke: "Don't be afraid."
"Then you look like you're going to die, who are you going to die?" Qi Yuan heard Yin Qingqi's answer and dragged her into the room.
The other hand led through the door, and there were only the two of them in the huge space at the moment.
Yin Qingqi looked at Qi Yuan's eyes, like an arrow piercing the clouds, like a knife in her sleeve, pointing directly at her heart, she pursed her lips and said nothing.
Qi Yuan saw her like this, and suddenly became angry: "When Xi Yue was about to die, did you think about it like this now?" Why didn't you think about interceding for her at that time? ”
It's Xi Yue again.
Yin Qingqi frowned, "I didn't kill Xi Yue." ”
Whether you believe it or not, I really didn't kill Xi Yue.
"Xi Yue and I grew up together, and our relationship is excellent, even though Xi Yue's personality is a little more domineering, but she is arrogant and cute. I never felt that Xi Yue was annoying, and naturally I never wanted to harm Xi Yue. Yin Qingqi slowly closed her eyes and opened them slowly, her apricot eyes were full of sincerity.
"Everybody says, 'You are because... Because I was jealous that Xi Yue married me..."Qi Yuan was silent.
Yin Qingqi's love for Qi Yuan is well known to the world, and it is not unreasonable to hate the crown princess because of love.
"I'm not jealous of Xi Yue. If you like her and don't like me, it must be that I am not as good as her, since you have already chosen her, I can naturally accept her and accept the fact that I am not good enough. ”
Yin Qingqi was used to being taciturn, and at this moment there were suddenly more words, which was unexpected by Qi Yuan.
Although he didn't want to listen to her pale explanations, whether he believed it now or not, what had happened was irreversible.
"Then what do you mean when you say you don't want to owe another life?" Qi Yuan remembered something.
"I have a sister in the Yeting Palace who died because of me."
Qi Yuan didn't ask anything anymore.
After a while, Yin Qingqi asked slowly: "Qi Yuan, do you think you are still worthy of my love now?"
You don't even have the most basic trust in me, but I trust you very much and am willing to tell you anything.
I am willing to practice dancing for three months for you, and in order to make you believe me, I knelt at the door of the East Palace all night, but you didn't even look at it.
I am willing to practice martial arts for you and protect the country for you, but you don't even picket the truth.
So, how do you deserve this liking of mine?
How can you be worthy of my love now?
When Qi Yuan heard Yin Qingqi ask, his heart ached.
Every word Yin Qingqi said penetrated directly into his heart, and the more he cared, the more sad he became.
I just don't think about it anymore.
Qi Yuan just looked at Yin Qingqi and asked her for no reason, "Are you afraid?"
Yin Qingqi's gaze met his eyes, and he replied firmly: "Don't be afraid."
I've even experienced life and death, so what are you afraid of.
Qi Yuan lowered his head and held Yin Qingqi's face and kissed it wantonly, leaned down lightly, and his fingers poked in under her skirt.
In the middle of the night, he lifted the hem of her skirt and entered her body.
The skirt is taught lightly, and it is difficult to cover the spring light, and the girl's snow-white legs are exposed inch by inch.
Spring is in full swing, and there is infinite joy.
……
This was Qi Yuan's first night in the Jinghong Pavilion.
When he woke up the next day, Yin Qingqi had already disappeared.
Qi Yuan looked at the empty half of the bed, but still smiled, she really wasn't as simple as it seemed.
Qi Yuan returned to the East Palace Mansion and immediately sent someone to find the aunt of the Ting Palace.
There hasn't been much change in the past three years in the Yeting Palace, and the people are still the same people back then.
Qi Yuan came to his aunt for only one purpose. He wanted to see who had the audacity to break Yin Qingqi's tendons under his nose!
"See the Prince." In less than a moment of incense, the aunt of the Yeting Palace was brought to him.
Qi Yuan looked at the woman in front of him, thought of Yin Qingqi's bloody hands, suppressed the anger in his heart, and asked, "Do you remember that three years ago, there was a girl named Yin Qingqi in the Yeting Palace?"
My aunt was stunned. Of course, she remembered that the second lady of the Hou Mansion, who killed the crown princess, broke off with the Hou Mansion after going to the Yeting Palace.
Besides, if she remembers correctly, Yin Qingqi entered the Yeting Palace, or the prince's meaning.
But the prince suddenly asked her what she was doing here?
"Isn't Yin Qingqi already dead?" My aunt's face was full of doubts.
"Dead?" Qi Yuan raised his eyebrows, when the people he saw for a while were all ghosts?
"A while ago, Yin Qingqi offended the emperor's concubine, but was taught a lesson by the concubine and beaten a few times. Because she was already very weak, she didn't survive and died. My aunt said lightly.
Qi Yuan grasped the missing point in her words, "What does it mean that the body is very weak in the first place?" ”
My aunt was submissive, but when she heard Qi Yuan's question, she couldn't open her mouth anymore.
Yin Qingqi should eat and drink here, and before Qi Yuan came, Xue Tan stepped in first.
Ding Yufu's punishment time hadn't passed yet, so as soon as Xue Tan came, he was only deserted, and no one pounced.
Only Siniang still didn't look like she could see praise or disapproval, and said to Xue Tan: "Upstairs has prepared a first-class wing room for Xue Gongzi, please go to the second floor of Gongzi."
Xue Tan also felt strange, but he didn't know how to ask Siniang, and only ordered: "Okay, by the way, find Yin Qingqi."
Before Yin Qingqi went to find Xue Tan, Xue Tan had already asked Hua Ying to understand the reason for the matter.
Xue Tan sat cross-legged on the mat on the ground, looking comfortable. He watched Yin Qingqi push open the door of the wing room, and said slowly: "During my absence, you have experienced a lot!"
Yin Qingqi twitched the corner of her mouth and ignored him.
"You said that your jade pendant is also quite harmful, and you have half of the Xue character on it, and those who don't know must think that you have a crush on me, but Ding Yufu thinks that I gave it to you can be justified."
Xue Tan raised his hand and picked up the jade pendant on Yin Qingqi's waist and looked at it carefully.
Yin Qingqi has always been careful about the protection of this jade pendant, Xue Tan has never had the opportunity to take a serious look, but today he can finally take a serious look.
Xue Tan's fingers were slender and his bones were distinct, and the jade pendant looked even smaller in his hands.
Yin Qingqi looked at Xue Tan fiddling with the jade pendant, and was also a little interested, and hurriedly asked Xue Tan: "This is my sister's, her family gave it to her, do you know it?"
"Maybe it's my father's illegitimate daughter." Xue Tan said nonchalantly.
Yin Qingqi looked at him with a face full of seriousness, and he didn't believe it.
Xue Tan suddenly leaned over and asked Yin Qingqi: "Seriously, otherwise I will redeem you, and you will suffer all this here."
"Thank you for your kindness. But if you do so, you will offend the prince. Yin Qingqi leaned back silently, trying to stay away from Xue Tan.
"So what?" Xue Tan stretched out his arm and held Yin Qingqi. Then sat up straight, raised his eyebrows and asked Yin Qingqi.
"If you really want to help me, just treat Ding Yufu well."
Yin Qingqi did not directly answer Xue Tan's question, but what she said was indeed very pragmatic.
Xue Tan also knew that Qi Yuan was only part of the reason, and he was no longer reluctant, but he had other small calculations in his heart.
Xue Tan traveled to lead the troops to fight at that time, and he returned triumphantly. In any case, the emperor will definitely reward him.
Then take advantage of this opportunity.
On the day of the last dynasty, the emperor summoned the civil and military forces of the Manchu Dynasty. One is to celebrate the victorious return of General Xue Tan, and the other is to boost the morale of the Manchu Dynasty.
The emperor, dressed in a yellow robe, sat on the exclusive dragon chair, overlooking his subjects.
The smile on his face couldn't be hidden, he looked at Xue Tan who was groveling and asked him if he had anything he wanted.
When you return from victory, this reward is a matter of course.
"The minister does have something to ask for." Xue Tan saluted the emperor, and he lowered his head. The voice was a little muffled, but it was firm.
"The minister likes a Miss Yin in the Jinghong Pavilion, and I also ask the emperor for permission."
Qi Yuan raised his head suddenly, the word "can't" was blocked in his heart, but he couldn't say anything.
In what capacity?
He is not Xue Tan, he has no military exploits, and it is really unreasonable to want to win Xue Tan's love just by virtue of being a prince.
Qi Yuan looked at his father, the man listened to Xue Tan's words, he didn't think about it, and laughed: "Which girl's girl is so popular with you!" I'm right! ”
Qi Yuan couldn't tell what he was feeling in his heart.
He obviously hated Yin Qingqi, but when he heard that Yin Qingqi was given to Xue Tan, his heart couldn't help but throb.
He was angry in his heart, but he couldn't stop what was happening in front of him.
Qi Yuan hesitated for a while, but finally decided to give it a try.
Before Xue Tan could express his gratitude, he hurriedly interjected after his father's words: "Girl in the land of fireworks, is the general really no longer thinking about it?"
As soon as the words came out, I still felt out of place.
Even the emperor and the civil and military forces of the Manchu Dynasty were puzzled, why was the prince so concerned about General Xue's affairs today?
Xue Tan laughed, and his tone seemed to be provocative: "No way, prince, this girl... I really like it. ”
Qi Yuan stopped talking.
The emperor was already happy, and when he heard Xue Tan smile, he couldn't care about his son's gaffe today, and he also laughed: "Hahaha, it's good if you like it, it's good if you like it!" Bring it one day, and let me see it! ”
Qi Yuan knew that he had failed.
Father, you know that girl too.
