"Girl, it's time to eat. Qingling brought the food, "Do you still want to think about the Queen Mother?"

"yes. Mo Ziyu said softly, "Changqing has been by the Queen Mother's side for a long time, and he must be very sad when the Queen Mother dies." ”

Qing Ling lowered his eyes and glanced at the food, and said: "Didn't the girl think that the prince would be very sad? When he was young, he was raised by the queen mother, and now the pain of losing his relatives must be the same as if he lost his concubine back then." ”

Mo Ziyu stiffened slightly when he picked up the chopsticks, then smiled faintly and said, "He already has a more suitable person by his side, why should I worry about him?"

This is the first time the girl has asked about the world. Qing Ling said, "The identity of the prince is not tolerated by the wife, but so what? His Royal Highness loves the prince and regards the son as his heart, and the wishes of others cannot affect the outcome." When the crown princess came to the palace before, she thought about pleasing the prince, but the prince and His Royal Highness had a very indifferent attitude towards her, and she was bored a few times, so she didn't bother the prince. This time, if it weren't for the Queen Mother's poor health and her desire to marry, Her Highness might not marry her. ”

"She has always been the crown princess, the mother of a country in the future, the mother of the son, no matter what, the number of courtesies that the prince and her should fulfill cannot be less, the prince has nothing to rely on except Liu Xu, the more so, the more it is impossible for people to find faults! Her Royal Highness is still young, the stepmother is embarrassed, no matter what the princess does, she may not be able to satisfy Liu Xu, but if she is strict with the prince, she is most afraid of killing!" Mo Ziyu said worriedly, " Qingling, if you leave Southern Chu and return to Northern Xia, you must be by Changqing's side and urge Changqing to move forward. ”

"If the girl is not at ease with the prince, wouldn't it be more reassuring to go back and look at it by herself?" Qingling smiled lightly, "The girl doesn't have to be angry, if I return to the prince's mansion, I will definitely guard the prince well, the girl can rest assured." ”

Outside the courtyard, Mi Zi came to the door, but stopped and didn't go in, and stood silent for a while.

"Why didn't Your Majesty go inside?" Hao Ding asked curiously.

Mi Zi didn't reply, but was still silent for a while, and said, "Have they ever thought of leaving in other ways?"

"Nope. Hao Ding said, "They have been quite quiet, and no one wants to leave, including Qin Yi." ”

"Hmm. Mi Zi nodded, and then left.

A guard asked puzzledly: "Didn't this Jiang girl save Your Majesty, why does Your Majesty have to put Jiang under house arrest like this now? What is going on?"

Hao Ding glared at him and shouted: "Don't inquire about things that shouldn't be asked, just do what Your Majesty ordered." ”

"Yes. ”

Mi Zi walked alone in the imperial garden for a while, this is the height of summer, the flowers in the garden have been exhausted, the plants are flourishing, he remembered that when he first returned to the palace, he wanted to introduce everything in the palace to Jiang Liu, and share the best parts of his memory with her, but he didn't go around and around, and he actually got to this step in the field.

At this time, Sun Pingling greeted him and reported: "Your Majesty, the envoys of the Western Wei Dynasty are here, ready to take the two little princes away, but at the same time they want to talk to you." ”

"Talk to me?" Qi Zi frowned slightly, "You go and arrange it, it's in the afternoon." ”

"Yes. ”

A breeze blows in the gazebo in the middle of the lake, sweeping away the summer heat.

"You may be seated. Qi Zi said lightly, "Are the two envoys still used to staying in Nanchu?"

"It's okay, it's okay. The two smiled and said.

"I heard that the two envoys have something to discuss with me? I don't know what it is?" Qi Zi said straight to the point, "If you two have anything to say, you might as well just say it!"

"Since Your Majesty is quick to speak, then we will also speak directly. An envoy clasped his fists and said, "Western Wei wants to make peace with Southern Chu." ”

"Harmony?" Qi Zi paused slightly as he picked up the wine glass, his eyes turned slightly, and he drank all the wine in the glass, and then asked, "There is a blood feud between Southern Chu and Western Wei, is it possible to be harmonious?"

"Your Majesty is willing to return the two children of the county lord of Leyi to the Western Wei Dynasty, which shows that Your Majesty still has the intention of cooperating with the Western Wei Dynasty. The envoy said, "A big war, Western Wei and Southern Chu have received heavy losses, only Northern Xia is sitting on the fishing profits, now Northern Xia is strong, Southern Chu is weak, Northern Xia has the possibility of annexing Southern Chu at any time, only Southern Chu and Western Wei join forces, can compete!"

After a pause, the envoy continued: "Second, there may not be a blood feud between Southern Chu and Western Wei, but it is true that there is a blood feud between Northern Xia and Northern Xia! In the war between Northern Xia and Western Wei, Northern Xia just pulled the neutral Southern Chu in, and then shamelessly used the elite of Southern Chu as bait to force both Southern Chu and Western Wei to kill each other, and they reaped the benefits, how can there be such a shameless thing in the world? Only when Southern Chu and Western Wei form an alliance and jointly attack Northern Xia can there be a possibility of revenge!"

He glanced at Mi Zi's face, but there was no superfluous expression on Mi Zi's face, he couldn't make up his mind, but continued: "Third, our Majesty is willing to marry his favorite concubine, the Ninth Princess, to Your Majesty, Her Royal Highness the Ninth Princess is gentle and beautiful, virtuous and virtuous, and it is a match made in heaven with Your Majesty!"

"Oh?" Qi Zi raised his eyebrows slightly, "The Ninth Princess of your country, I have heard a little, Your Majesty is willing to marry the Ninth Princess to Nanchu?"

"Your Majesty is a talent, Wen Taowu is a good son-in-law of the Ninth Princess, how can he be reluctant?" the envoy said, "If Southern Chu and Western Wei can both be good for Qin and Jin, this is a good thing for both Southern Chu and Western Wei, I hope Your Majesty can consider it carefully." ”

"The peace between the two countries is a state affair, and since it is a state affair, it is not something that I can decide alone. Qi Zi said, "I have to discuss this matter with the hundred officials." ”

"Then we will wait for your attitude. ”

Seeing off the two envoys, Mi Zi drank glass after glass of wine alone.

And the Western Wei Dynasty and the pro?

He laughed, how is this possible?

"Your Majesty, you have drunk too much. Sun Pingling snatched the wine jug from Qi Zi's hand, "Your Majesty, it's time for you to go back and rest." ”

"Are you?" Qi Zi stared at Sun Pingling drunkenly for a while, as if it had been a long time, before recognizing her, "You are Sun Pingling, that tomboy!"

"It's a courtier. Sun Pingling said softly, "Your Majesty, don't drink, go back and rest." ”

Qi Zi grabbed Sun Pingling's hand, stared at her eyes, and said, "Do you know what the envoys of Nanchu are talking to me about?"

Sun Pingling was slightly stunned, and then smiled lightly: "Why is it a matter of harmony?"

"You know?"

"Guessed. Sun Pingling continued to smile shallowly, "Since they came here, they have probably guessed that Western Wei has such a plan." Is Your Majesty worried about this?"

"Nan Chu and Western Wei are married, let me go to the ninth princess of Western Wei. Qi Zi looked at Sun Pingling and smiled, "What do you think?"

"Marrying a wife is a major event in life, and Your Majesty should make his own decisions on this matter. There was a slight bitter smile on the corner of Sun Pingling's mouth.

Qi Zi squinted his eyes slightly, he raised Sun Pingling's chin, stared into her eyes, and continued to ask: "Is this your true idea? But they want me to marry you, and they want me to make you queen!

"What does Your Majesty want your courtiers to think? Yu Private, courtiers are not Your Majesty's sweethearts, and have no right to interfere in Your Majesty's marriage, Yu Gong, courtiers are just the daughter of a minister, compared to the nine princesses of the Western Wei Dynasty, it is naturally more beneficial to the development of Southern Chu!" Sun Pingling said, "Yu is public and private, and the courtiers have no position or qualification to think about anything." ”

"Really?" Qi Zi sat back, put her hands behind her waist, and squinted at Sun Pingling for a while, "Do you think I should agree to this marriage?"

"This is to ask Your Majesty's heart. Sun Pingling lowered his eyes and said, "But standing in the position of a Southern Chu people, now that Southern Chu is weak, it is naturally indispensable to be oppressed by Northern Xia. This is a major matter of the family and the country, and in the end, it is also Your Majesty's private matter, and in the end, Your Majesty himself has the final say. ”

"I'm tired, help me back to rest. Qi Zi raised his head back, was silent for a while, and beckoned to Sun Pingling.

"Yes. Sun Pingling bent down and helped Mi Zi up, "Your Majesty, let's go back and rest! Wine can hurt the body, Your Majesty's body is the foundation of the country, in the future, you must drink less and pay attention to your body." ”

Sun Pingling chattered gently, and Mi Zi suddenly hugged her.

"Your Majesty!" Sun Pingling was startled.

"Stay with me and don't leave me, okay?" said Qi Zi in her whisper.

Sun Pingling's heart softened, gently patted Mi Zi's back, and said gently: "Your Majesty, rest assured, the courtiers will not leave Your Majesty, and the courtiers will always accompany Your Majesty, and Yifu will assist Your Majesty, watch Your Majesty realize the ideal in your heart, and watch Your Majesty become a generation of Ming Jun!"

"Really?" Qi Zi hugged her tighter, "Are you really not going to leave me?"

Sun Pingling stiffened, a look of loneliness appeared on her face, and then she hurriedly pushed Qi Zi away, and said coldly: "Your Majesty recognized the wrong person, I am not Jiang Liu, I am Sun Pingling!"

She stared at Mi Zi, who was half-lying on the ground, bit her lip, and then left quickly, without taking a few steps, stopped Xiao Qi, and said coldly: "Your Majesty is drunk, you go and take care of it!"

"Yes!"

Xiao Qi wondered in her heart, why did Miss Sun's face look weird? She wasn't like this on weekdays, what was going on?

Although he had doubts in his heart, he didn't dare to delay the business for a while, and hurried to take care of His Majesty!
