Chapter Eighty-Three: Changing the Crown Prince

Li Rong said, "Come in."

A moment later, the chamberlain led a beautiful son in, it was Qi Qingru after the disguise.

Li Rong was stunned for a moment, looked at Yi Jiuxiao, and said in his heart, You said that you went to pick up the county lord of Qi Kingdom, how did you pick up a brother, is this also pretending?

Yi Jiuxiao smiled, he had forgotten that Qi Qingru had been disguised by him.

Hurriedly stood up and explained to Li Rong: "Queen Mother, I forgot to tell you that when we entered the city, for convenience, we changed the county lord into a man's clothes, and I changed it back for her immediately." ”

"Prince, it's okay. The county lord is dressed as a man, and he is really good-looking, both handsome and heroic!"

As he spoke, Li Rong also stood up from his chair.

She didn't need to get up to greet her, whether it was from her identity or her seniority. But in order to show her attention, she got up anyway.

Qi Qingru is so clever, after hearing Yi Jiuxiao call her mother, she knows who it is.

Seeing the queen get up to greet her, he immediately knelt down and kowtowed: "Qi Qingru sees the queen's mother, and wishes the mother Jin'an." ”

Li Rong took a few steps forward and said, "The county lord is exempt from courtesy, although it is the first time we have met, I have also heard of the name of the county lord's genius for a long time. ”

The name of Qi Qingru's cultivation genius is not only widely rumored in Qi Country, but also known to many people in the surrounding countries.

She was already in the late stage of foundation building at the age of nineteen, and there were very few people who knew about her advancement to the Golden Pill, otherwise it would be even more sensational.

Therefore, what Li Rong said was true, and it was not a beautiful word, but a very sincere praise.

Qi Qingru was still very humble and replied: "The queen praised it falsely, Qingru really can't afford to be a genius." ”

Li Rong asked Qi Qingru to sit down on the chair beside him, and then the palace maid sent a cup of spiritual tea.

Yi Jiuxiao glanced at Qi Qingru and felt that Qi Qingru was sitting next to the queen in men's clothes, which was very awkward.

Although cultivators do not pay attention to the general defense of men and women, they should not be too casual.

Then he said, "Qingru, I'll help you restore your clothes to women's clothes, okay?"

There were several side rooms next to the council hall, and Yi Jiuxiao changed Qi Qingru's makeup in one of the side rooms.

A quarter of an hour later, a bright and incomprehensible woman appeared in front of Li Rong, although she was also a woman, Li Rong liked it very much.

He was reluctant to let go of Qi Qingru's hand, and when he saw her so easy, Jiuxiao teased: "Since the queen mother likes it so much, you let her be your daughter." ”

"I'm afraid it's not okay to be a daughter, you can't get married if you are a daughter, let's be a daughter-in-law. ”

Qi Qingru blushed at what the mother and son said, so she glared at Yi Jiuxiao fiercely.

If the eyes can kill, Yi Jiuxiao must have been tricked. Fortunately, in front of Li Rong, Qi Qingru was inconvenienced.

Who knew that Yi Jiuxiao pretended not to see it, and continued: "Queen Mother, it doesn't matter, I can not be your son, not the prince, let her be your daughter and the prince." ”

Qi Qingru finally didn't want to endure it, and said disdainfully: "Yi Jiuxiao, I think you don't want to be the emperor and want to escape!"

The emperor is known as the Son of Heaven, the so-called Son of Heaven, and is most favored by Heaven.

But Yi Jiuxiao recognized this, he was not a cultivator, and he didn't know what the Heavenly Dao was.

His martial arts are not suitable for sitting on the court every day, he wants to go to war and conquer.

After every big battle, he could feel the improvement of his cultivation, so he had to hone himself in the battles and battles to improve his martial arts cultivation.

After advancing to the Martial King, he slowly understood many mysteries of martial arts.

Yi Jiuxiao didn't answer Qi Qingru's words, he was pondering, and the side hall suddenly quieted down, and the atmosphere became a little cold.

After being quiet like this for half a quarter of an hour, Li Rong spoke: "Prince, don't you really want to be the emperor?"

"Yes, Queen Mother. My exercises are not suitable for being an emperor, I can only be a great general who conquests the Quartet, and this person in front of us is the most suitable for being an emperor, can you let her do it?" Yi Jiuxiao pointed at Qi Qingru with his finger.

Li Rong's gaze followed Yi Jiuxiao's guidance and turned to Qi Qingru's body.

She looked at it for a long time, looked at it very carefully, and saw that Qi Qingru was very uncomfortable, and her cheeks were red on both sides.

But Qi Qingru was embarrassed to say anything, after all, the identity of the queen was here, and she was an older elder, and she was also a woman, so she could only follow her.

It took dozens of breaths before Li Rong withdrew his gaze from Qi Qingru's body.

Then he looked into Yi Jiuxiao's eyes and asked, "The friend you said, the most suitable person to be the emperor, is she her?"

"Yes. Yi Jiuxiao nodded and replied.

He knew that the consequences of his answer were serious, but he was willing to believe Li Rong and bear everything that it bringed, and he was unwilling to lie.

"Very well, I am willing to contribute to this result. ”

After Li Rong finished speaking, he looked at Qi Qingru again, and his face became very soft.

She asked softly, "Lord County, would you like to be my daughter?" not for anything else, but because I like you. ”

This question was a bit abrupt, and Qi Qingru was really unprepared.

Although Yi Jiuxiao had mentioned it just now, in Qi Qingru's opinion, it was just a joke, and he didn't take it seriously at all.

Who knew that now that the queen really asked, Qi Qingru couldn't help but feel a little overwhelmed, she was usually decisive, and she actually pinched the corners of her clothes.

Qi Qingru didn't think of recognizing Li Rong as her mother at all, she had her own parents and had a complete home in Qi State.

She is different from Yi Jiuxiao, she was born in the royal family of Qi since she was a child, and she was extremely noble as soon as she was born.

This so-called throne of Wei has never been looked down upon.

However, she didn't dare to refuse, because she didn't know how Yi Jiuxiao arranged and thought.

If it was for Yi Jiuxiao, she was willing.

Looking at Qi Qingru's innocent eyes, Yi Jiuxiao was very funny.

He turned his head and didn't look at Qi Qingru, the purpose of his move was to let Qi Qingru choose for himself, not to interfere with her, not to influence her.

Who knew that Qi Qingru misunderstood, thinking that Yi Jiuxiao was angry, and was angry about her hesitation.

So as soon as he gritted his teeth, he knelt on the ground: "Queen Mother, I am willing to be your daughter, please be worshiped by my daughter!"

Li Rong hurriedly got up and hugged Qi Qingru, and she was clear about what Qi Qingru was thinking.

She is nearly sixty years old, and she can see everything in this world clearly, including Qi Qingru's little child's thoughts.

So she stroked Qi Qingru's bun lovingly and said, "You are really a good boy and a good woman!"

It is true that women who can pay for love and sacrifice for love are good women.

When Yi Jiuxiao saw all this, he seemed to understand a little, and he couldn't help but sigh in his heart and be moved in his heart.

The two women sat down again, and Li Rong spoke: "Qingru, since he wants you to be the emperor, you can do it, who said that we women can't be emperors, since you are a hidden dragon body, the reincarnation of Tianlong, and the son of Tiandao, you should be the emperor, the government of Wei in the past thirty years, in fact, I am dealing with it, but I have not been able to become an emperor, I don't dare, and I don't have this ability, I hope you can." ”

"Queen Mother, I'm afraid it's not easy for me to be the emperor, right?"

Qi Qingru asked, she could easily think that such a major matter as succeeding to the throne was definitely not up to the queen alone.

"It's really not easy! But now the ministers of the DPRK and China, including Dazai, the Sixth Ministry, and the Academy, have no problem and no resistance. The only obstacle now is the side of the royal elders, who need to be approved by the Council of Elders. Feng Qiushui occupied Gyeonggi for many days before, and he never dared to let her son Wei Tong ascend the throne, because he was afraid that the elders would not agree. ”

Yi Jiuxiao and Qi Qingru looked at Li Rong together, as if asking, Wei Tong is a true prince who is afraid that the elders of the imperial family will not agree, aren't we two outsiders afraid?

Li Rong knew what the two of them were thinking, and said with a smile: "The main reason why Feng Qiushui and Feng Xishan are worried is that the crown prince is still alive, as long as the prince is there, Wei Tong will not be able to succeed to the throne as emperor, which is also the reason why the Feng family will do everything to hunt us down." But we are different now, the competitor Wei Tong is dead, and it is a matter of course that the crown prince will succeed to the throne. ”

"Aren't you afraid that those elders of the royal family will recognize us and recognize us as not royal descendants?"

Qi Qingru asked, she didn't know if Yi Jiuxiao's disguise technique could fool the eyes of those elders, and the lowest cultivation among these people was in the late stage of Jindan.

"Don't worry! These old monsters usually don't ask about the world, they are all concentrating on cultivation, and it is difficult for them to get out of the customs for more than ten or decades.

The prince was only thirty years old, and he had no impression of them at all, so I had little worry about them recognizing the authenticity. ”

"It is rumored that when the first emperor died, an elder came forward to check the body of the first emperor and dealt with the matter of the first emperor's seizure, hasn't this elder seen the crown prince?"

Yi Jiuxiao raised his own questions, in his impression, everyone in the royal family should know the crown prince.

This is not to blame him, some of his thinking is still stuck in the mortal realm, and in the Great Song Dynasty in his previous life.

"The elder who came to check the corpse of the former emperor was named Wei Dingke, and at that time he just looked at the corpse of the former emperor and left, because the matter was very simple, the first emperor did not have any injuries on his body, but he lost his soul and died, it was clear at a glance, he didn't want to waste any more time to see the prince again. ”

Li Rong knew that Yi Jiuxiao and Qi Qingru still had questions, so he continued: "The fighting in the royal family of the Wei State is fierce, and in order to prevent the prince from being killed, I have strengthened my precautions since I was a child, and when I became an adult, I lived in a simple house, and I hid in the palace to practice with peace of mind. Few of the ministers of the court have seen the crown prince, let alone the royal elders who have lived in seclusion for many years. ”

Hearing Li Rong's words, Yi Jiuxiao and Qi Qingru suddenly realized.

Immediately, Yi Jiuxiao asked again: "In that case, there should be no problem on the Elders' side, what are we worried about?"

"I'm worried about asking Zutai, I'm worried that you won't be able to get by. Qingru, the royal family of Qi should also ask Zutai, right?"

Li Rong answered Yi Jiuxiao's question, and by the way, he also asked Qi Qingru a question.

"Qi also has to ask Zutai, before the prince succeeds to the throne, he must go to ask Zutai, and get the approval of Qianzutai in order to become the emperor, I heard that asking Zutai can test the skills and bloodline of the successor. ”

Qi Qingru replied that as a child of the royal family, she had heard of this secret since she was a child.

Li Rong nodded and said: "It seems that all the big countries are the same, and the prince has to ask the ancestor for the test, but it is unknown whether it is useful to ask the ancestral platform, and so far there is no precedent for the prince in Wei who has not passed the question of the ancestral platform." Qingru, there is a courtyard next door to the East Palace, you live over there, since Jiuxiao doesn't want to be the prince, it's up to you to do it, let's talk about it today, you can also take a rest, I will take you to ask Zutai in five days. ”
