Chapter 327: The Queen Mother's Birthday
It wasn't until later that the Li Jun pirate group defeated the owner of Xiao Hei. Xiao Hei thought that he would be reduced to a trophy again, but who knew that Li Jun treated the people below equally, and those who could become Li Jun's subordinates were his brothers, not his slaves and coolies.
Li Jun didn't dislike or abandon Xiao Hei at all because of his skin color, he didn't dislike him and abandon him because he couldn't work because he was young, but took him with him like a little brother. Take him to battle, teach him Chinese, teach him martial arts......
For five years, Xiao Hei has regarded Li Jun as a relative, a brother, and even a father.
Until they met Qu Ping and brought Qu Ping from the desert island to Siam, Li Jun became Siam's son-in-law, and Xiao Hei followed all the way to the queen's kingdom. Later, Li Jun realized that he wanted to do a bigger career, so he said goodbye to Qu Ping.
But the future is uncertain, Li Jun has no choice but to entrust Xiao Hei to Qu Ping, hoping that he will take care of him on his behalf, and he is grateful.
Qu Ping remembered that Li Jun had a great kindness to him, so he naturally would not refuse, so he accepted Xiaohei as a disciple......
The reasons for everything came one after another, and everyone sighed after hearing it, and Zhao Xiaolan thought of her luck, and was almost moved to tears.
Unexpectedly, Xiao Hei had such a tragic life experience.
Duan Zhengxing sighed: "Brother Li Jun's narrow heart, he is the hero of my generation, but it's a pity that I can't meet, it's a pity!" ”
Xiao Lu said: "Xiao Hei, this kid is so pitiful, everyone will be good to him in the future!" ”
Zhao Ping'er also said: "Yes, if it weren't for Li Jun and Xiao Hei, the master would not be able to get rid of the sea of suffering." ”
Everyone sighed for a while, and Qu Ping said: "Okay, your sisters are gossiping here, and Lord Duan and I will go to the study to discuss state affairs." ”
"Go, two princes!" Xiao Lu said, aggravating the tone of the word "prince".
Seeing Qu Ping and Duan Zhengxing go away, Zhao Ping'er asked Zhao Xiaolan: "Xiaolan, all these years, how has Lord Duan treated you?" ”
Zhao Xiaolan said: "The prince is very good to me, don't worry, the county lord!" ”
"That thing ......"
Zhao Xiaolan understood what Zhao Ping'er was referring to about her identity, and said: "The prince never mentioned it, he may know, but he is willing to pretend that he doesn't know." ”
Zhao Ping'er said with confidence: "Even if he has a conscience, otherwise...... Hmph, give him something awesome and take a look! ”
Zhao Xiaolan said with a smile: "The county lord is a mother of two children, and he is still so naughty!" ”
"By the way, why didn't your little baby bring to the capital to play together?" Zhao Ping'er asked, remembering that Zhao Xiaolan and Duan Zhengxing already had a three- or four-year-old son.
"Baby?" Zhao Xiaolan asked strangely, it was the first time she had heard of this word.
Xiao Lu explained: "It's just a child. ”
"Oh! He was too noisy, and the road was far away, climbing mountains and wading through rivers, and carrying trouble. Chao Xiaolan said.
Zhao Ping'er teased: "Do you want to travel with Duan Wangye and enjoy the scenery of the two?" I guess I have to congratulate Xinxi on this trip, right? ”
"The county lord is making fun of Xiaolan again." Zhao Xiaolan said shyly.
Xiao Lu said: "Ping'er is so virtuous, she can't change it, don't pay attention to her!" ”
The three princesses chatted with a smile, and in the study over there, Qu Ping and Duan Zhengxing had a quiet atmosphere and a heavy mood.
Duan Zhengxing said: "I can't imagine that so many things have happened this year! They all have their own intersections! ”
"The intersection is on Qin Hui." Qu Pingzhi said.
"Can you be sure?"
"Eight or nine is not far from ten."
Duan Zhengxing said: "If you are not very sure, the nature is the same as Qin Hui's 'unnecessary'!" ”
"Lord Duan, don't worry." Qu Ping turned to ask, "What troubles and twists and turns did you encounter when you took the queen kingdom?" ”
"I can't say it's a problem. At first, Bagan and Angkor, and even Siam, after learning that our army was moving south, wanted a piece of the pie. However, I had already foreseen the situation, and divided the eastern and western armies in advance to block the two roads of Angkor and Bagan. When they see that they can't bargain, they can only watch us eat the Queen's Kingdom. ”
Qu Ping asked again: "What about Siam?" ”
"Siam? They went north just in time to occupy part of the land......"
"Siamese is so bold?"
Duan Zhengxing said: "The prince listens to me. It is said that Li Jun just went back and successfully persuaded the king of Siam to withdraw his troops, and told me that he was helping me clear the remnants of the queen's kingdom. ”
"It seems that Li Jun can really help us a lot when he goes back. There weren't any moths after that, did they? ”
"No, Siam honestly withdrew and returned the queen's land to us intact!"
Qu Ping was pleased: "In this way, it seems that the King of Siam really wants to entrust his power to Li Jun. ”
Duan Zhengxing said happily: "Isn't it happy like this? At that time, Li Jun will be the king of Siam, and then let him belong to our dynasty, wouldn't it be happy? ”
"Besides, if people live a good life on their own, they may not join our lively family."
"He doesn't know the times!"
"Do you think everyone is as knowledgeable as you are?"
Duan Zhengxing said curtly: "We call those who know the times as Junjie!" But you, how did you restore the emperor's trust in you? ”
Qu Ping said: "Naturally, it was what I did that made the emperor realize that he was deceived by slander for a while, and when the emperor saw me, he immediately saw through all the lies." ”
"Blow it! Tell me, how do you do that? ”
"I broke into the palace at night, analyzed my heart to the emperor in person, and painfully explained the pros and cons. Naturally, the misunderstanding disappeared. ”
"You want to blackmail the emperor?"
"I'm going to blackmail the emperor, can I still stand here now?"
Duan Zhengxing is right to think about it, if Qu Ping wants to blackmail the emperor, he should either be in a yellow robe or on death row at this moment!
Since Qu Ping didn't want to go into details, Duan Zhengxing didn't ask any more, got up and said, "After a long journey, it's time to go back to the house and have a good rest." ”
"Don't stay for two drinks?" Qu Ping said. Book bar
"There are three days left until the Queen Mother's birthday, do I have to go back to Beijing all year round, and I have to go back to my house to take care of it and prepare for it, right?"
Qu Ping said: "It's okay, the good days in the future will be long, and you can be happy with a lot of time!" ”
There are two days left, and it is the birthday of the Queen Mother.
Qu Ping was waiting for someone, and he hadn't shown up yet.
There is one more day, which is the birthday of the Queen Mother.
Qu Ping was waiting for someone, and he hadn't shown up yet.
Qu Ping waited until the evening, and did not wait for him...... Didn't you have an accident on the road? Probably not, right? With his status......
The birthday banquet of the Queen of Heaven was held at noon, and the next morning, the sun was shining, Qu Ping took Zhao Ping'er to dress neatly, took the congratulatory gift, and drove towards the palace by Ah Gang.
Xiao Lu saw that she was about to give birth in about ten days, and it was inconvenient to have a big belly, so she didn't go to join in the fun. And Qu Ping had already told her that the birthday banquet was not so joyful and festive, so it was okay not to go.
Zhao Ping'er asked: "What's going on in the past two days, I can't keep my soul?" ”
Qu Ping sighed lightly and said, "I'm waiting for someone, he hasn't appeared yet." ”
"Who made you wait?"
"Kutula."
"Kutula?" Zhao Ping'er smiled, "I thought you were thinking about that big girl's house!" What are you waiting for him to do? ”
Qu Ping said: "Wait for him to give me a key." ”
"What key? A treasure trove of gold? ”
"The key to the mouth of sin."
"Pretend to be mysterious!" Zhao Ping'er didn't take it to heart, and instead talked about the birthday gift prepared for the Queen Mother, "Isn't our congratulatory gift too ...... Down-key? ”
Qu Ping said: "Where is it low-key? Glazed longevity peach, meaning peace and longevity. ”
"But it's too small, isn't it? It's the size of a fingernail. ”
"What do you want the ring to do when it's so big, the Queen Mother can't take it when it's too big."
Zhao Ping'er said helplessly: "Okay, I hope the Queen Mother can like this novel little gift." ”
"The gifts are not enough, the heart is together. Don't worry! Qu Ping said.
"What are you going to do at the Queen Mother's birthday banquet? I have a hunch that something is going to happen! Zhao Ping'er said vigilantly.
Qu Ping said: "Then you will wait and see." Rest assured, the emperor and the queen mother will definitely like it! ”
Zhao Ping'er was relieved when she heard Qu Ping say this.
When I arrived at the palace gate, the carriages and sedan chairs of the ministers who went to congratulate the Queen Mother on her birthday on the road gradually increased, like a hundred boats competing for the stream.
There are regulations on the vehicles used by officials at all levels, which cannot be overrun.
Therefore, after Qu Ping's purple unicorn carriage appeared, the sedan chairs in front of him and on both sides naturally retreated to both sides, not daring to delay and offend.
Nowadays, there are few people who can surpass Qu Ping in terms of status and status. Even the prince of the Zhao family, when he saw Qu Ping, he had to take the initiative to say hello. It can be said that Qu Ping has truly sat in the position of the extreme of the people.
Ah Gang drove the car in front, and he also felt honored, proudly holding his head high, and from time to time greeting the coachmen of other adults' houses next to him, seeking a sense of vanity.
Zhao Ping'er lifted the curtain and glanced outside, then quickly put down the curtain.
The adults in the carriage next to them all stretched out their heads outside the window, waiting to say hello to Qu Ping!
Qu Ping smiled: "What are you afraid of, and they don't look at you?" ”
"Of course I'm afraid, I'm afraid they'll introduce you to someone, Prince Xiang!" Zhao Ping'er sneered.
"You look good at night!"
"You're so comfortable!"
"What did you say?"
"I didn't ...... It's nothing. Zhao Ping'er quickly stopped the topic.
Although today's day is special, when they arrive at the palace gate, the officials still have to get out of the car and get off the sedan chair, and idlers are exempted.
Considering that the people who came to the birthday banquet carried many gifts, the emperor specially sent his attendants to wait in the palace gate to receive the gifts.
There are several advantages to receiving registered gifts in this way.
First, avoid everyone from comparing each other with gifts and corrupting the atmosphere; secondly, it is also for the sake of safety, to prevent someone from conspiring to manipulate the gifts, disrupt the banquet, and endanger the royal family; Third, it is also exempt from major officials carrying gifts, and it is inconvenient to walk.
It can be said that the emperor has good intentions, considers all aspects, and also takes into account the decency and safety of all parties.
Qu Ping and Zhao Ping'er got out of the carriage, entered the palace gate, and handed over the gifts to the chamberlain to receive the registration.
I saw that everyone's dazzling gifts were placed in the open space behind the attendants in an orderly manner, packed in boxes of different sizes, and gifts that were directly exposed outside.
The word Fu is carved from jade and inlaid on the golden longevity peach, which must be hollow. Each blessing character is different, and it is all from the handwriting of famous artists.
Many people have been attracted by this longevity peach, and Qu Ping is no exception. The other party's gift insistence is too cool, it is completely to scare people, and Qu Ping's small gift is even shorter in comparison.
"Who is such a tyrant?" Qu Ping leaned over to take a look, but there was no note on it, and I don't know who sent it. Qu Ping asked the chamberlain: "Who gave this to the Queen Mother?" ”
The chamberlain replied with a huff: "Back to the prince, it's Lord Qin of the Criminal Department." ”
Zhao Ping'er muttered: "Qin Hui is so rich! ”
At this time, four chamberlains came from the palace, pushed a car over, carefully carried this Shou Tao into the car, and then drove the car to the banquet place.
The Queen Mother sent a message to move the gift given by Qin Hui to the banquet to meet the occasion.
