"Why did Lord Qi say this?" Sun Yunqi immediately stretched out his hand to help him, and said with a smile: "Lord Qi is the envoy of the imperial court, and he has the emperor's order to discuss official affairs with the king. How can Hongu blame you? ”

"Master Qi said that my father asked Lord Qi to bring a letter from home, can you let this palace take a look first, this palace has not received a letter from home for a long time."

"Oh. The minister was guilty and forgot about it. Qi Tai immediately stood up from his seat in great trepidation, took out the family letter from his arms, respectfully held it with both hands, and handed it to the eunuch in Sun Yunqi's palace, and then bowed his hand to Sun Yunqi and said, "The queen may not know that Ling Zun has stepped down from the position of commander. The current commander is the queen's eldest brother who took over, and they just went through the formalities from the military department not long ago, and after completing it, Ling Zun also took Brother Ling to the cold house of the lower official to have a coarse tea and light meal. Seeing it, Ling Zun was very happy, he said that after fighting all his life and selling his life, he could finally rest. ”

The eunuch respectfully held the queen's family letter and walked to the queen's seat, Sun Yunqi looked at the family letter with straight eyes, I am afraid that there is no person in this world who does not want to be home, there is no person who does not miss his loved ones, seeing a letter from a family member who has not seen him for several years, no matter who it is, there will be a lot of waves in his heart.

However, Sun Yunqi is a well-cultivated queen in the end, although she is very excited in her heart, she still sits still, and her demeanor naturally talks to Qi Tai, and says: "Yes, since Dingyuan followed Taizu to raise troops, my father has fought hundreds of battles and been wounded by more than ten wounds. Although there are no outstanding achievements, it is also for the Ming Dynasty to work loyally for a lifetime. Now that he's in his sixties, it's time to rest. My eldest brother has loved to practice martial arts since he was a child, and he is good at swords, guns and sticks, and he wants to make a name for himself on the battlefield, believing that he can do a good job in commanding this position. ”

"That's, that's." Qi Tai bent down and lost no time in complimenting: "Brother Ling Kong is powerful, this is something that everyone knows, and his martial arts have also been seen by his subordinates, and it can be said that he is rare among the commanders. Now the world is peaceful, the descendants of those officers are used to living a stable life, martial arts are inevitably rusty, many military households are not as good as the generation, as long as the queen's maiden family is stronger than the generation, for this reason, the first emperor and the emperor have repeatedly issued edicts to commend, calling on everyone to learn from Mr. Sun. ”

What he said was the truth, as Zhu Yuanzhang believed, Sun Jida was a very practical person, he thought that since the emperor gave them the hereditary power of the times, they should practice their skills hard, otherwise they would be sorry for the emperor's kindness, therefore, even if the world is peaceful now, the people of the Sun family are also practicing martial arts hard and never slacking off.

Sun Yunqi was also very happy to hear Qi Tai praise his mother's family, who also pays attention to his background, praising his mother's family is praising his own background, smiled slightly, and said very kindly: "Thank you Lord Qi for complimenting." After that, the eunuch had already handed the letter that Qi Tai had taken out of his arms to her, bowed over, and said softly, "Please take a look." ”

Sun Yunqi nodded slightly at the eunuch, stretched out his jade finger, took the family letter, and couldn't wait to open it to read, because Qi Tai wrote in the letter was full of colloquialisms, Sun Yunqi didn't think that the family letter was fake at all.

Qi Tai is also a person who has daughters, and one of his daughters has also married to a distant place, although it is said that the patriarchy was generally preferred in that era, but in the end, it is his own blood and blood, how can he not want to? Qi Tai regarded himself as Sun Jida, and replaced his thoughts and instructions to his daughter in Sun Jida's tone, all of which were written on paper, with a great sense of substitution.

Sun Yunqi was firmly grasped by Qi Tai, a veteran writer, and when he saw the full family affection coming to his face, he didn't suspect that it was fake at all, and two lines of excited tears flowed down "fluttering, fluttering", hiding his face and crying, and said: "It's my unfilial piety that worries my parents." ”

Qi Tai was very happy when he saw this scene and knew that his trick had worked, but on the surface, he still pretended to be worried, arched his hand to Sun Yunqi, and said: "The queen must not be sad, Lord Sun knows that the queen is living well here, and he is also very happy in his heart, he asked the lower official to tell the queen that as long as the queen can live with the prince and Hemeimei, he has nothing to worry about." ”

The mother of the child is worried, the most remembered in this life is always his father, Rao is Sun Yunqi is knowledgeable and virtuous, hearing Qi Tai's words, he can't control it, the tears flow faster, cover his mouth with a handkerchief, and cry silently.

Seeing this scene, Tingwei and Yinhe immediately trotted forward, ** Sun Yunqi's back and said, "Niangniang, you don't want to be like this, and the master doesn't want you to be like this." He must want you to be happy. ”

Sun Yunqi sobbed for a while before he slowly calmed down, and after noticing that he was a little out of shape, he wiped the tears on his cheeks with a handkerchief, and then waved his hand, signaling Tingwei and Yinhe to get out of the way, and then sat up straight, and returned to the demeanor of the mother, and said, "Thank you, Lord Qi." I also bothered to ask Lord Qi to tell my father when I went back, saying that Yunqi was doing well here, the king was very fond of the palace, and several concubines got along with the palace very happily, so he and his mother did not have to worry. ”

Qi Tai hurriedly arched his hand, and said: "Please rest assured, the minister will definitely bring Niangniang's original words, and please take care of your body, don't let the second elder worry." Then, as if he suddenly remembered something, he continued: "This time, the minister sent an envoy to Su Guo, and Lord Sun asked the minister to bring a lot of gifts, and the minister brought them all, and asked the queen to accept them." ”

Sun Yunqi smiled slightly, to say something from her heart, she misses her parents very much, she misses everything in her mother's family, although she is now the queen and lacks nothing, but whenever she hears the things in the house, she can't help but itch in her heart, even if she doesn't need it, she can keep it for a thought, and said with a pleasant face: "Then there is Lord Laoqi, bring them all up." ”

Qi Tai arched his hand, took out a piece of red hard paper from his sleeve, handed it to the eunuch beside him and said, "This is a gift list, please look at the queen." ”

Sun Yunqi smiled and waved his hand, "No need, this palace can trust Master Qi." Then he waved his hand and motioned for Tingwei to put away the gift list.

Tingwei put her hands between her lower abdomen, bowed slightly to Sun Yunqi, and then walked down to take the gift list from the eunuch's hand.

Qi Tai waved his hand at the door, his voice raised slightly, and said, "Come in, be careful, don't break it." ”

Several small servants outside the door worked together to carry the gifts into the lobby, and then they all bowed over, lowered their heads, and slowly retreated, not even daring to come out.

Sun Yunqi saw this pile of gifts on the ground, a slight flash of surprise flashed in his heart, there are dozens of boxes on the ground, large and small, and they are all beautifully packaged, and the things inside are expensive, she knows her father, who was born in a real hard life, and has lived a good life after fighting with the emperor for a lifetime, and after becoming an official, he is also very thrifty, and the money that should not be spent is definitely not wasted.

Even if he loves his daughter, he will definitely not send so many things at once, which is contrary to his consistent principle of frugality.

Sun Yunqi is also a smart woman in ice and snow, and her analysis of people's hearts and feelings is to the point, and she helped Zhu Hao a lot in the early stage, making him comfortable between Lao Zhu and Concubine Guo Ning, and now although he is concentrating on his husband and children, his IQ has not degraded, and he can see at a glance that there must be private goods that Qi Tai is sandwiched in.

He wanted to take the opportunity to bribe himself. Sun Yunqi guessed it at once, but she didn't want to say it in public, as soon as Qi Tai came to Su Guo to send her a letter to her, even if she had a small favor for herself, she had to read this favor no matter what.

Second, Qi Tai is a minister appointed by the imperial court, a secretary of the military department, and a minister appointed by the first emperor to take care of his life, and he is the henchman of the current emperor.

So, he looked at Qi Tai with a slight smile and said, "Thank you, Lord Qi, this palace has been a little dizzy recently, so I won't leave Lord Qi." ”

Seeing that his goal had been achieved, Qi Tai naturally refused to stay longer, and immediately knelt on the ground and kowtowed to Sun Yunqi a few times, and said respectfully: "The minister retires." ”

Sun Yunqi still maintained her signature smile, and the demeanor of a mother seemed to grow on her body, and said, "Manager Su, send Lord Qi for the palace." ”

"The slave obeys." After the chief eunuch in the queen's palace, Gonggong Su bowed to the queen, slowly walked up to Qi Tai, stretched out his hand, and said, "Lord Qi, please." ”

Qi Tai slowly stood up, arched his hand to Manager Su very politely, and said, "There is labor." Immediately, under the guidance of Chief Su, he slowly walked out of the palace and returned to his post house.

Although Sun Yunqi is not very old, her handling of interpersonal relationships can be said to have reached the point of being very old, as soon as Qi Tai left, she didn't do anything, but reported her meeting with Qi Tai to Zhu Ao for the first time, and focused on the gift again.

She didn't want Zhu Ao to misunderstand that she was accepting bribes from others without permission.

Zhu Ao lived for two lifetimes, and only after listening to the palace maid who came to report a simple speech, he knew Qi Tai's intentions, and said to the palace maid in the queen's palace with a slight smile: "You let the queen relax, and the widow understands her personality." In the future, if Qi Tai gives her anything, you just let her take it, anyway, someone else bought it, no need to spend money, don't want it in vain. ”

The palace maid was also amused by Zhu Ao's words, but she couldn't hold back and didn't laugh too loudly, and said, "Yes." The slave obeys. ”

"And tell the queen that the widow is going to her tonight."

"Yes. The slave and maid retired. ”

It is said that after Qi Tai walked out of the palace, he said goodbye to Mr. Su who came to see him off very politely, and then sat in a sedan chair and went straight to the post house.

When he had returned to the inn, Zitai called the old servant into the house, closed the door, and told him in detail what had happened, and that he wanted to hear the opinion of the resourceful old servant.

After listening to Qi Tai's narration, the old servant was relieved, bowed his hand to Qi Tai, and comforted him with a smile: "Please rest assured, according to the old slave's opinion, the queen must have believed the adult, the old slave heard that the people of the Sun family are very kind, very real, and they are famous for their kindness." Today, the adult is kind to her, and the old slave believes that Queen Sun will definitely find a way to repay the adult. In this way, if there is any unforeseen disaster in the future, she may really be able to save your life. ”

Qi Tai stroked his beard with his right hand, nodded very approvingly, and said, "This official thinks the same way. Now it's time for us to find King Su to announce the decree, when is it better to go? ”

The old servant's eyes shot a resolute gaze, leaned forward, and said in a tone that could not be ignored: "The sooner the better, and the later it will change." If there is a master around the queen who sees through the plan of the adult, or if someone leaks the news, then we will be busy in vain. The situation will be very unfavorable to us. ”

To tell the truth, Qi Tai also agrees with a quick solution in his heart, this place is currently a Longtan Tiger's Den, he is now like sitting on a powder keg, although he may be blown to pieces, he doesn't want to stay here for a moment, because one more day here, it will be more dangerous. Anyway, now that he has the queen's hole card, he is not very afraid in his heart, even if the queen does not help him in the end, it is the destiny of heaven, and it is the death of God.

Because this is already the best effort he can do, even if he doesn't succeed, he has no regrets. After all, it is necessary to face it, and it is not a way to drag it out like this, and said: "You are right, I will go to see King Su tomorrow and read the holy will to him." ”

The ancients paid attention to auspiciousness in everything, such as this kind of reading of the national letter, as long as it is not too urgent, it will be held in the morning, and the will be read in the morning sun, how auspicious. There will definitely be no time this morning, and going in the afternoon is obviously to despise King Su, which will have an adverse impact on the work, so I can only wait until tomorrow.

Qi Tai could only stay in fear for a day.

In the evening, Zhu Ao came to Sun Yunqi's bedroom as promised, and saw that her bed and curtains here were old, and the boss felt distressed, and took his beloved wife by the hand and said, "Queen, didn't the widow reward you with some cloth brocade?" Why do you still use these old things? You are the widow's palace, don't be too bitter about yourself. ”

Sun Yunqi's heart was sweet, what a woman wants most is her man's concern for herself, obviously, Sun Yunqi could feel that her husband cared about her very much, and took Zhu Ao's arm and slowly helped him to the table to sit down, and said with a smile: "Thank you for your concubine's concern." These things can still be used, it's a pity to throw them away. Our Suguo has just experienced a great war, and materials are in short supply in all aspects, and the concubines don't want to be too extravagant. ”

Zhu Ao sat on the chair, only to see that Sun Yunqi did not sit down, but naturally stretched out his right hand, grabbed a teacup with her onion-like jade fingers, turned it over, sat on the table, lifted the teapot with his left hand, poured a cup of strong tea for Zhu Ao, and then put down the teapot, picked up the teacup with both hands and handed it to Zhu Ao, smiled slightly, opened his lips lightly, and said in a crisp and soft voice: "Your Majesty, let's have a cup of tea first." This is the fresh tea that the concubine has just ordered someone to buy. ”
