Chapter 7: Situ Haoran (2)
Situ Haoran, the king of Qi, walked in the corridor of the main city of Lihu City with a restless expression, while Queen Yue followed him, and their children Shizi Wen Liang, Gongzi Wenjun and Son-in-law Wen Shu followed closely behind them.
"So early, what will the emperor do when he looks for us?" Queen Yue asked uneasily, but King Qi was silent, he didn't think that Emperor Xia Ling would have anything good to do with them.
"Why don't you come with Dr. Guan Yu?" Wen Liang asked suspiciously.
"The emperor just asked our family to come over, and the time is too tight, I don't have a chance to inform Dr. Guan Yu." King Qi said in a deep voice as he walked quickly.
Just after today's hour, Emperor Xia Ling suddenly sent an edict, ordering the whole family of King Qi to rush to Emperor Xia Ling immediately, saying that there was something important to announce, and after King Qi got this information, he wanted to immediately invite the doctor Guan Yu of Changhuwan to come to discuss, who would have thought to bring the eunuch, the chief of internal affairs Zhou Yin, accompanied by the imperial guards, did not give the King of Qi any free time, urging the King of Qi to follow and leave quickly.
On the way, many soldiers of Lihu City saw the people of King Qi and his family following Emperor Xia Ling all the way to hurry, and the soldiers wanted to step forward to stop them, but they were all separated by King Qi with his eyes, King Qi knew that he could not intensify the contradiction here, and he saw General Luo Bin of Lihu City on the road, and King Qi deliberately gave General Luo Bin a look, and General Luo Bin immediately understood, so he turned around and left.
"Father, the emperor won't be ruthless, right?" Wen Liang asked softly.
King Qi immediately shook his head, although he had also thought about this, but he immediately vetoed this possibility, because he knew that Emperor Xia Ling could not be so stupid.
Wen Liang saw that King Qi was so sure, so he nodded slightly, King Qi noticed that Wen Liang looked at Queen Yue and Wen Jun and Wen Shu with a worried face, King Qi smiled slightly, at this time, Wen Liang can also worry about his family first, which makes King Qi feel very satisfied.
After a while, King Qi and the others came to a very gorgeously arranged courtyard, which was the courtyard prepared by Queen Yue for Emperor Xia Ling, in fact, such a magnificent style did not meet the preferences of King Qi and Queen Yue and others, but they felt that Emperor Xia Ling should like this kind of environment.
Entering the big house of the annex, in the main hall, Emperor Xia Ling was sitting there, talking to the queen Li beside him, starting on both sides of Emperor Xia Ling and Empress Li, Benbei sat the noble concubine Zhou and the noble concubine Yu, and then down were the crown prince, the king of Guangping, the king of Dongjun and the princess of Qingle.
As soon as King Qi entered the door, he gently raised his eyes and looked at Emperor Xia Ling, Emperor Xia Ling's face was full of red light, and King Qi slightly admired Emperor Xia Ling in his heart, even at such an age, in such an early morning, he was still so energetic.
"Oh, Haoran is here." As soon as Emperor Xia Ling saw King Qi, he looked overjoyed, and called King Qi's name very enthusiastically, King Qi saluted with a smile on his face, but he felt very uneasy in his heart, after all, he didn't know what kind of medicine was sold in Emperor Xia Ling's gourd.
"The emperor got up early enough, I don't know if the emperor is so early, what is the important matter of summoning the minister's family to the old and young?" King Qi said with a smile on his face.
"Haha, Haoran doesn't have to be so restrained, let's sit down first, don't you see that there are no ministers and guards arranged here, and even the imperial guards I didn't let them stay here, you just think it's just a family gathering." Emperor Xia Ling said with a smile.
King Qi glanced at Queen Yue beside him, then nodded with a smile, he pulled Queen Yue to sit down, and his children also sat down in turn, and King Qi looked at Emperor Xia Ling again.
"Since it's a family gathering, then the minister is rude." King Qi said with a smile.
Emperor Xia Ling looked at King Qi with a smile, King Qi couldn't see through the meaning in Emperor Xia Ling's eyes, but he decided that no matter what Emperor Xia Ling did, he had to face it calmly, and King Qi himself knew that Emperor Xia Ling definitely had something that he didn't want to deal with.
At this time, King Qi noticed that Emperor Xia Ling looked at Queen Li beside him again, Queen Li didn't know whether she was helpless or what, in short, she nodded reluctantly, Emperor Xia Ling smiled even more brightly, and Emperor Xia Ling stared at King Qi again.
"I have been in Lihu City in Changhu Bay for a while, and I have lived very comfortably here, but after all, I can't live here for a long time, and there are still many things in Liyang that I need to take care of. Emperor Xia Ling said a little tiredly, King Qi knew that Emperor Xia Ling's words were not false, after all, the throne was not so easy to sit on.
"The emperor has worked hard." King Qi said politely, at this moment, King Qi suddenly thought of the era when he and Emperor Xia Ling fought together, and that time was far simpler and happier than now.
"Ha, it's really not easy to defend the country, so I plan to leave for Liyang this afternoon." Emperor Xia Ling said with a smile, this really surprised King Qi, King Qi was very sure that Emperor Xia Ling's decision to leave was so sudden, then Emperor Xia Ling would definitely bring him irreversible news.
"Your Majesty, you're too ......"
"In the past few days in Lihu City, Empress Li has been very fond of Haoran's daughter Wen Shu, so Empress Li told me that she wants Wen Shu to become the crown princess, and I also approve of this, but I don't know what you mean!"
Before King Qi finished speaking, Emperor Xia Ling interrupted his words, and Emperor Xia Lingdi's words made King Qi's whole body tremble, King Qi knew that in the end, Emperor Xia Ling's words were definitely not a question sentence, but an order, King Qi's face was excited, and then he looked at Queen Yue with a smile, but his heart was already in chaos, he really didn't expect that Emperor Xia Ling would make such a vicious decision.
King Qi noticed that Queen Yue seemed to be much calmer than herself, and she just shook her head slightly at herself, signaling herself not to be impulsive.
King Qi looked at his children again, Wen Jun seemed to want to stand up and protest, but Wen Liang silently pressed his arm, such a small action, the people present, except for King Qi, everyone else should not have noticed, and Wen Shu was eyes widened, and secretly glanced at the prince from time to time, the girl's mind is really simple, King Qi couldn't help sighing in his heart.
"Of course this is a good thing, Wen Shu is now fifteen years old, I think Queen Yue can train her into an excellent crown princess in the past few years." King Qi said with a smile, he glanced at the prince Xia Shang again, the prince looked a little embarrassed, in fact, for the prince, King Qi still recognized very much, if it wasn't for the prince's father was Emperor Xia Ling, then King Qi might be really satisfied with this marriage.
"Haha, this doesn't bother Queen Yue, Queen Li very much hopes that she will personally cultivate Wen Shu, after all, in the future, Wen Shu will be like Queen Li, the mother of the world." Emperor Xia Ling laughed again.
King Qi unconsciously clenched his fists, and King Qi suddenly felt Queen Yue gently pinching his arm, King Qi turned his head to look at Queen Yue, Queen Yue was looking at himself, and a face of perseverance, King Qi really admired his lover at this time, Queen Yue's decisiveness was even more than himself, King Qi sighed at this time.
"Ha, Wen Shu, it seems that you are leaving Lihu City today." King Qi said to Wen Shu with a smile again, but his heart was bitter, King Qi knew, presumably Queen Yue was the same at this time.
And Wen Shu looked at a loss, King Qi knew that she didn't dare to disobey the emperor's order on the spot, not to mention that Wen Shu had been peeking at the prince just now, and he couldn't guess what his daughter was thinking, King Qi, who was a father.
