Chapter 14: The Envoy of the Kingdom of Change (II)
Just as Qi Min was about to speak, a cough sounded outside the door, and a handsome young man walked in step by step, and the two palace maids chased after him helplessly, and reported to the door inside: "Empress Dowager, An Yanhou is here." ”
The young man waved his hand to the palace maid impatiently and said, "Go down." ”
Xi Qun looked at the man, and was not surprised, if he hadn't heard it before, he might have really recognized him as a military advisor in a panic, this person's eyebrows, eyes, figure, and demeanor were very similar to the military advisor, and he also had a flashy smile on his face, but under closer inspection, the smile was obviously deliberately made, far less natural than the smile of the military advisor and changed endlessly in subtleties, no need to ask, this is the face of the Empress Dowager Kang. Just look at the way he walks around the palace at will, you can see how favored he is.
At this moment, Ju Ran had already walked in front of Xi Qun, raised his eyebrows, and said, "Lord Xi, you have worked the long way. ”
Xi Qun hurriedly bowed down and saluted: "I don't dare to accept the greetings of the Hou Ye, and I don't dare to say hard work where my duty lies." "It stands to reason that Xi Qun is an envoy of the Yi State, and his status is respectful, so he should not be so humble to the officials of Kang State, but He Ran instructed him that if he encounters such an occasion, he must show a lowly demeanor to Ju Ran.
Seeing Xi Qun's appearance, the corners of his mouth showed a trace of disdain, and he waved his hand and said, "My lord is my distinguished guest of Kangguo, no need to be polite." ”
"Yes!" The crowd stood with their hands bowed like the following people.
"I heard that Xiping's cloud dance was taken to Zangxian Valley by your military advisor, and for this reason, I almost met with Zhao Guobing, and kidnapped Mrs. Nuanyu outside Dingyang City of Zhao State, I don't know if these things are true or false." Ju Ran stared at Xi Qun with flickering eyes and asked.
This is all known to the world, and he is now asking in front of Qi Min, and his intentions are self-evident.
Xi Qun looked embarrassed, and Nuo Nuo said, "This ...... Back to Master Hou, this ...... These two things are true, Yun Zhiwu fell in love with my military division at first sight when he was in Xiping, although the military division was in danger at that time, knowing that it would be more dangerous to annoy her, but he still refused in every way, but the cloud girl was deeply rooted, and resolutely followed after the military division returned to China, the military division was a person who valued love and righteousness, and learned that she was trapped in Zhao for defecting to the military division, and felt that she was sincerely touched, and pity a weak woman who had nothing to rely on, so she sent troops to Zhao Guo, as for Mrs. Nuan Yu's ......, Mrs. Yu military division has several life-saving graces, Receiving him into the Tibetan Xian Valley is to repay his wife's past kindness, and the military advisor respects Mrs. Jing and Miss Yun as guests. ”
"Oh! If you are a guest, hahaha, your military advisor is really affectionate and righteous to the beauty, and you don't hesitate to risk angering Zhao Guo for the sake of these two people, which is really admirable. His tone was sarcastic.
Xi Qun looked like he dared to be angry and didn't dare to speak, and looked at Qi Min above.
Qi Min saw the anger in Xi Qun's eyes, she knew He Ran's position in Xi Qun's heart, someone insulted He Ran, but he couldn't fight back, this was worse than killing him, seeing Xi Qun's demeanor, Qi Min's heart suddenly became inexplicably angry, and he reprimanded Ju Ran: "Presumptuous!" The mourning family summoned the envoys of the Yi State here, what are you doing here?! Do you know the etiquette?! Someone, hold me up! ”
This sudden change made Xi Qun stunned for a while, this was even more unexpected, his eyes were straighter than Xi Qun's, and he looked at the Queen Mother in a daze, he really couldn't believe that the Queen Mother would treat him like this.
The two samurai were also a little stupid after they came in, who would dare to touch An Yanhou today? But this is the order of the Queen Mother, and it cannot be disobeyed, the two hesitated, Qi Min shouted: "What are you waiting for!" The two didn't dare to hesitate any longer, stepped forward and gently grabbed Ju Ran's arm and pulled it out.
Ju Ran, who had never seen the queen mother's angry phoenix eyes, was so frightened that he forgot all about the past means of inviting pets, and the smile on his face disappeared at all, only Yu was frightened, and obediently followed the two warriors out, and looked back at the queen mother in disbelief from time to time.
Qi Min was still angry, and reprimanded Xi Qun: "After following him for so long, why can't you learn his skills at all?!" The dignified envoy is a servant and a servant, and only the courage of the puppet is left in trouble, you really lost his face! ”
Xi Qun didn't know why the Queen Mother suddenly lost such a big temper, but she didn't dare to answer, for fear of angering her again.
Qi Min looked at him even more angrily, closed his eyes and let out a long sigh of relief. In fact, Qi Min's anger came from Yunshang and Mrs. Nuanyu, what Xi Qun said He Ran treated them as if they were guests, and it was okay to deceive others, He Ran turned into ashes, she knew what kind of virtue he was, so she was very unhappy, but she was a woman after all, and most women intended to live in the empty dreams they created, so she would rather deceive herself and choose to believe Xi Qun's words, but Ju Ran had to shatter her dreams, which caused her to suddenly rise from her heart, and she was embarrassed to see the person in her heart. She had an involuntary seizure.
After the anger gradually subsided, Qi Min slowly opened his eyes, and said in a softened tone: "He's been okay lately. ”
"Empress Dowager, we are constantly at war with Shunguo, the military division leads the troops to charge into battle, blocking the east and killing the west, there are almost no idle days, and many government affairs have to be handled by the military division personally, so ......, alas, the queen mother please forgive the villain for talking too much, in the eyes of the villain, the military division is really not good, compared with the queen mother's side, the military division has lost a lot of weight, and there are not so many smiles."
"Well deserved!" Qi Min squeezed out two words from his mouth, feeling that he was relieved of hatred.
Xi Qun grinned and muttered, "The military advisor just has a bad life, a bad life." ”
Qi Min sighed, shook his head lightly, and said, "When you go back, tell him that I understand his affection in my heart for the matter of restraining Zhao Guo." ”
Xi Qun said with a smile: "The Queen Mother is serious, the Queen Mother doesn't know, the military advisor was happy during that time, although he didn't say anything to me, but the villain can also guess that the military advisor is happy to be able to help the Queen Mother do something, and he even plans to go to Zhao State in person to urge King Zhao to send troops to Shunguo." This exaggeration was naturally designed by He Ran, but at that time, he didn't expect that he would really go to Zhao Kingdom in the future.
"Nonsense! It's still that kind of disregardless temperament. The corners of Qi Min's mouth smiled, and then he raised his eyebrows slightly, and said, "But I don't think you said him too well, it's a little different from him." ”
Xi Qun said with a smile: "Queen Mother, don't look down on the heart of the military advisor, Xiaohe is just a maidservant girl, the military advisor is still willing to sacrifice his life for her to avenge, the queen mother is in the heart of the military advisor, but the mountains are healed, if the queen mother has doubts about this, the villain is really going to be unhappy for the military advisor." This is not taught by He Ran, he has been with the military advisor for a long time, and he can figure out some of the thoughts of the military advisor.
The smile on the corner of Qi Min's mouth became stronger, and when her eyes fell on the brocade box, her face slowly showed a sense of depression, and she looked up and said to Xi Qun: "I'm a little tired, don't rush back first, I may call you for questions in the next two days, if you have any needs, just mention them, I will tell them to treat you well." Because he is familiar with Xi Qun, and because he is the only one who can convey the words of the intimate to both parties, Qi Min has a family-friendly attitude towards him.
Xi Qun thanked him gratefully, and said cautiously when he got up: "The villain has something to do now, I hope the Queen Mother can be gracious." ”
"Say it." Qi Min looked at him with a smile.
"The Queen Mother also knows that we are now facing the enemy everywhere, and the relationship between the parties is complicated, and my military division is often worried about this, especially on the side of Zhao Guo, the military division has been thinking about the previous agreement with the Mexican military division to attack Zhao State, and this period of military division has thought of some strategies for the two sides to cooperate with each other, and wants the Mexican military division to rule that it is a villain who wants to meet the Mexican military division, I don't know if the queen mother can agree." It is forbidden for foreign envoys to visit ministers privately, so Xi Qun made this request.
Qi Min smiled and said, "The two of them have a good relationship, even if you have nothing to do, you should go and see the master for you, go ahead." ”
Xi Qun thanked him again, and then respectfully withdrew.
