Chapter 422: Meeting the King

Chi Xia muttered in his heart, the monarch must be in a bad mood now, or it is better to go back first, so as not to touch his brow.

As a result, just as she was about to leave, the monarch suddenly announced that they had entered.

"Meet my father."

"Meet the King."

Chi Xia and Chi Wan saluted in unison.

The monarch didn't even raise his head, and said lightly, "Get up." ”

Seeing this, Chi Xia involuntarily bit her lower lip, she still wanted to show how favored she was in front of Chi Wan, now that she saw this scene, she shouldn't doubt her words, right?

She took a deep breath and slowly stepped forward to add a cup of tea to the monarch, "Prime Minister, they are too blind to see, and they came to bother you early in the morning." ”

Chi Xia's words are full of the little daughter's coquettishness, and the monarch is also very useful to this.

"You're too childish to say this, they're here to discuss important matters with me, how can they be said to be here to bother me?"

"What could be more important than your happiness?" Chi Xia naturally held the monarch's arm and leaned on his other party, as if he was coquettish, "I don't know what it is, is there a place where my daughter can help?" ”

The monarch smiled and nodded Chi Xia's head dotingly, "Where can you help?" Although he said this, he still told Chi Xia about what they had just discussed.

After hearing this, Chi Xia immediately puffed out his cheeks, and indignantly helped the monarch crusade against Prince An, "Uncle An is really bad." ”

The monarch quipped, "Tell me, what's wrong with him?" ”

"This ......" Chi Xia's eyes rolled, and he couldn't say why for a long time, and finally had to use coquettishness to play a round, "Anyway, if he makes you unhappy, he's a bad person." ”

This is really something that only a child would say, but a person like the monarch, I have seen a lot of deception in the palace, but I prefer such an innocent girl, maybe this is also the reason why Chi Xia can obey.

After all, the monarch has so many children, she doesn't think that just the identity of a folk princess can make the monarch take such a fancy to her.

After watching the play for so long, it's time for her to appear. Seeing that the time was almost up, Chi Wan said in a timely manner, "The folk girl thinks that what the princess said is very reasonable." The folk girl heard before that Prince An was a filial son, but now it seems that it is just a rumor. ”

Qingli's voice echoed in the room, and the monarch immediately noticed Ji Wan, he knew that his daughter had brought a life-saving benefactor to see him, but he didn't expect that it was actually a beautiful girl.

As a person who is often tempted, he can't help but think a little crookedly, shouldn't his daughter want to learn from those concubines and use beauty tricks on him.

"Then tell me, why do you think the princess's words make sense?" The smile on the monarch's face faded.

Chi Wan knew that the monarch was suspicious of her appearance, and she didn't panic, and after calming down, she replied unhurriedly, "Kyoto is the best place in the world, but Prince An wants to let the concubine go to the countryside to live, isn't this unfilial?" ”

Countryside? The monarch immediately laughed out loud, "King An's fief is notoriously wealthy, how can it be said that it is from the countryside?" ”

"The folk girl thinks that no matter how rich that place is, it can't compare to Kyoto, except for Kyoto, all places are rural." Ji Wan took over as a matter of course. These words sound silly, but the monarch likes them very much.

"You're right, it's really not as good as Kyoto, but even so, we can't stop mothers and children from getting together." The monarch rubbed the teacup in his hand and raised his eyebrows playfully.

Chi Wan smiled and said, "Then wouldn't it be okay to let Prince An come here?" Kyoto is so prosperous and lively, how could Prince An not want to? ”

The monarch actually felt that what she said made some sense, and continued to ask, "But Prince An has his own fiefdom, if he is really left in Kyoto, will someone say that I treat him harshly?" ”

"How so? The monarch did not take back his fief, Prince An just changed to a better place to live, besides, the whole world is not loess, and Prince An's fief is also your territory. ”

The problem that he and the minister had been troubled for many days was actually solved by a woman in a few words, and the monarch felt very surprised and surprised.

"What's your name?" The monarch felt that Chi Wan was becoming more and more pleasing to the eye.

"Her name is Xie Wan, she was the one who saved me at that time, and you should reward her well, father." has been a transparent person for a long time, Chi Xia hurriedly said first.

"That's right, I'll have to think about how to reward it."

Chi Wan naturally wanted to stand up and refuse at this time, and the monarch felt that she was becoming more and more rare, so he simply rewarded her with a few shops.

The shops rewarded by the king must be in the best locations, which is more cost-effective than rewarding gold and silver.

Chi Wan silently calculated the benefits, and the smile on her face became even brighter, this trip to the palace has gained a lot.

With the shops ordered by the monarch himself, it is equivalent to having chips in Shanglin Kingdom, and Chi Wan applied the set operated by Dongxuan to these shops, and soon gained a firm foothold in Shanglin Kingdom, and gradually established his own network of contacts by virtue of business contacts.

Chi Xia looked at Chi Wan's infinite scenery, and began to mix heads and faces in this place of Shanglin Kingdom, and naturally had a calculation in his heart.

Although the two are now in an alliance, she has also relied on the other party to avoid the means of many concubines, and her position in the monarch's heart has become more and more stable, but these can't resist Chi Xia's impatient mind.

Yes, she is not content with the status quo, so she has to "add fuel to the fire".

On this day, Chi Xia, as always, took Chi Wan into the palace to face the saint.

The monarch was in the imperial study to review the recitals, and when he heard that the two were coming, he hurriedly put down the government affairs at hand and ordered someone to announce their entry.

"A few days ago, envoys from neighboring countries came to make friends and sent local snacks, so you can try them." The monarch said to them happily, and raised his hand to signal the palace maid at the door to go to the imperial dining room to get some.

Ji Wan bowed respectfully and thanked her, and sat down on the side tacitly.

"Father, you really have a heart, specially invited us to eat the special snacks of neighboring countries, just yesterday, Miss Xie also mentioned to me the food of neighboring countries, I think the two of them really know a little bit." Chi Xia looked at the monarch with a smile, the deep meaning between the lines, but it had to make people think about it.

Chi Wan frowned slightly, glanced at the expression on Chi Xia's face, and always felt that she was speaking in a weird way. At first glance, this may not sound like much. But if you taste it, it seems to have ulterior motives. Especially when she deliberately pushed Chi Wan onto the table, it was too deliberate.

"Miss Xie, what are you shy about there, could it be that you really have a secret promise?" Chi Natsu raised his voice again.

The falsehood of her smiling flesh and not smiling is really disgusting to Chi Wan.

"Her Royal Highness the princess said that the people's daughter is not a well-informed woman, so she is naturally curious about the specialties of other countries, and she only blames the people's daughter for being lonely and unheard, which makes Your Majesty laugh." Chi Wan bowed to the monarch, and the corners of her mouth hooked up a shallow smile, leaving aside what Chi Xia had just said, those things that were nonexistent.

Chi Xia raised her hand and pinched the back of her hand, pretending to be sisterly.

"You and I are destined to know each other, maybe it's destined. It just so happens that your father appreciates you a lot, so why didn't you want to develop further? The words that Chi Xia blurted out became more and more ambiguous, and every word and sentence needed to be carefully considered.

Ji Wan glanced at the meaningful look on the monarch's face with her spare eyes, and secretly screamed in her heart.

If she continued to let Chi Xia justify herself like this, she would sooner or later fall into the trap set by the other party.

At this time, Chi Wan couldn't see Chi Xia's intentions, this was to push her to the monarch and send her to the palace.

It's the first time in history that a daughter has a skin for her father. Isn't this monarch annoyed by Chi Xia's assertions?

Thinking of this, Chi Wan couldn't help but raise her eyes to look at the monarch, who knew that the other party not only felt that Chi Xia had overstepped, but stared at her meaningfully, as if she really listened to Chi Xia's suggestion.

Chi Wan chuckled in her heart, and hurriedly knelt down and saluted, "The folk girl has never been delusional, and I ask Her Royal Highness the princess not to make fun of the folk girl anymore." ”

"You girls joke about it, Miss Xie doesn't have to be too nervous. If you like these things, I can give you more. The monarch's gaze on Ji Wan became more and more ambiguous.

Chi Wan suddenly made a loud alarm, caught a glimpse of Chi Xia's triumphant smile, and secretly clenched her silver teeth.

This Chi Xia, who only thinks about calculating others every day, really has a restless heart!

Chi Wan scolded in her heart, if it weren't for the fact that the monarch was here, she would have been a shopkeeper and left directly.

"Father, don't you know, Miss Xie is also a long monarch in front of me in private, and a short monarch, I can hear the calloon." Chi Xia pretended to ridicule Chi Wan's private behavior, just to sit on the fact that Chi Wan admired the monarch.

"No, Miss Xie, you try these things, if you like it, next time you come to the palace, I will order someone to prepare more for you." The monarch deliberately got up and walked around Ji Wan's side.

He picked up a piece of pastry at random, stuffed it into Chi Wan's palm, and rubbed the oil quietly by the way.

Chi Xia held her chin in her right hand and took a small bite of the snack with great interest, the sweetness lingering on the tip of her tongue was endlessly evocative, and the scene in front of her really made her feel good, not to mention how pleasant it was.

She has never liked others to control her, even if the two are in a cooperative relationship, it is an agreement reached under forced force.

"Your Majesty, maybe you have misunderstood something. The folk girl is already a married woman, and as for liking to eat these pastries, it is also because of the husband of the folk girl. Ji Wan directly rejected the monarch's secret send-off.

As soon as these words came out, the smile that remained on the corner of the country's mouth gradually stiffened.
