Chapter 96: Ulterior motives
Obviously, Qi Ling also remembered the one who was hung in the city tower, "It's a trivial matter, but I didn't expect that Miss Zhao's temperament is the same as that of Concubine Zhao, and she is so straightforward." ”
Zhao Qian'er's cheeks were slightly red, and she looked at Qi Ling directly, her eyes seemed to be glowing, and there was no fear of other women when they saw His Majesty, and some were just the shyness of the youngest daughter's family.
"It is said that nieces take care of their aunts, and Qian'er is like an aunt."
Qi Ling smiled, "It's good to be like Concubine Zhao, it's a pity that Concubine Zhao didn't come with me this time, otherwise your aunt and nephew would still be able to meet and reminisce." ”
The fact is that Qi Ling's freshness to Zhao Concubine has long passed, and with Jia Yulan's company, if it weren't for Zhao Qian'er suddenly appearing, maybe Qi Ling would have forgotten what Zhao Concubine looked like in a few days.
The look on Zhao Qian'er's face was even more shy, and her sparkling eyes stared at Qi Ling, and his heart swayed when he looked at it.
"Qian'er thanks Your Majesty for your grace, but I regret that I didn't have a relationship with my aunt."
There are many such methods, which can be made by a cardamom girl, and no matter how old-fashioned the methods are, they are pleasing to the eye.
Min Yan suddenly interjected, "Uncle Huang, do you agree or not!" ”
was interrupted from the conversation with His Majesty, and Zhao Qian'er's face instantly turned cold.
"The county lord is so self-aware, Your Majesty is the king of a country, how can you ask for two sentences and answer everything, then if the county lord makes some other excessive demands another day, will Your Majesty have to respond regardless of his identity?"
Qi Ling was a little unhappy in his heart, and felt that Zhao Qian'er was troublesome, but when he saw the little girl's family speaking for him, his face turned red with anger, and the little anger in his heart quickly dissipated.
Instead, Min Yan said, "It's Min Yan, you should learn more from Miss Zhao, the emperor is the emperor, and the words he said are golden, how can he agree to your request without a bottom line because you are coquettish and tricky." ”
Min Yan glared at Zhao Qian'er fiercely, Zhao Qian'er was favored by Qi Ling, so she was naturally proud.
Qi Ling didn't want to dwell too much on this matter, so he just said, "Okay, let's go back and rest for a while, let's get ready for dinner!" ”
As soon as Qi Ling left, Min Yan had a cold face, and the hunt that had been arranged for a long time was destroyed like this, although there was still more than half a year in the divorce period, and there were other opportunities.
Can......
Qi Ling returned to the tent, thinking of the bright girl, the smile on his face never faded.
In the tent, Jia Yulan bowed her head and embroidered her purse, and the green bamboo on the purse stood tall.
"It's been a day, and you haven't gone out for a walk?"
Qi Ling's sudden voice startled Jia Yulan, and the silver needle pierced her fingertips.
Scarlet blood beads bubbled up.
Jia Yulan pressed it directly with her sleeve.
"The concubine is quiet, it's good to do some embroidery here."
The main reason is that I am afraid that I will go out to meet that person, and I can't help my affection.
Moreover, most of the people who come today are familiar with each other before, although she is a concubine for the emperor, but in the final analysis, she is still a concubine.
The little palace maid brought hot water, and Qi Ling washed it before walking to Jia Yulan and sitting down, Jia Yulan has always been so dignified and gentle, quiet and almost indifferent.
Qi Ling took the purse in her hand, "Bamboo, I thought women liked to embroider some flowers, plants, mandarin ducks or something." ”
Jia Yulan said in a low voice, "There are too many flowers and mandarin ducks, so I want to try something different." ”
Qi Ling returned the things to her again, and when she got closer, Jia Yulan unconsciously dodged.
Qi Ling's eyes darkened, and Jia Yulan hurriedly said, "The concubine is afraid of itching, and Your Majesty's beard is a little prickly." ”
Qi Ling wiped his chin, the short inch was indeed a little piercing, the darkness in his eyes did not dissipate, but he moved closer and said, "Really?" I heard the queen say that you like the piano, but I listened to it once at the Mid-Autumn Festival, and I haven't heard you play it. ”
Jia Yulan's lowered eyes flashed with hatred, if it weren't for the Mid-Autumn Festival banquet......
"The concubine's qin was forgotten at home and was not brought into the palace."
"There is Zhang Qinglan in the palace, the quality is not bad, I will ask someone to send you to the palace when I turn around."
As she spoke, the closer Qi Ling became, her breath spraying in her ears, and Jia Yulan naturally knew what he wanted to do.
"Your Majesty, here ......"
It's just that before he finished speaking, his lips were gagged, and the emperor wanted it, and he didn't care where he was.
The movement in the tent was transmitted through the tent cloth, and the guards guarding outside were consciously farther away, but the sound was not inaudible from a distance.
The eunuchs and palace maids are all used to it, and they still stay there faithfully, just waiting for when they stop inside to go in and serve.
Two quarters of an hour later, the movement inside stopped, and Qi Ling called for water.
Jia Yulan covered her face with a quilt, Qi Ling smiled, thinking that she was still the same as when she had just entered the palace, and she was too shy to show up every time she did not dare to show up afterwards.
In fact, Jia Yulan just used this to hide the humiliation and hatred in her eyes.
Qi Xiangxuan stood from a distance and looked at this side, with a gentle smile on his lips, but the smile did not reach the bottom of his eyes.
Minxiu walked up to him, "Fifth brother." ”
"Why did my cousin come here?"
Min Xiu looked worried and said, "Fifth brother, are you still thinking about Sister Jia?" ”
Qi Xiangxi's eyes lit up, but his smile became more and more gentle.
"Now that she is the concubine of her father, her cousin can't talk nonsense."
"Fifth brother don't have to hide it, I have seen it all, you have a deep affection for Sister Jia, I don't know it, I'm afraid Sister Jia can't forget the fifth brother either."
Qi Xiangyu unintentionally looked around, and when he saw that no one was coming, he sighed leisurely, "How did my cousin know, maybe she has long been immersed in her father's favor and can't extricate herself." ”
Minxiu hurriedly explained, "No, Sister Jia is not that kind of person, and I have seen Sister Jia from afar today, she is far from being as happy as when she was with Fifth Brother." ”
"These are just cousin's conjectures, okay, there will be a dinner later, and the fifth brother will leave first."
Qi Xiangxuan turned around and left, the contempt in his eyes flashed, he didn't understand how Qi Minxiu, who was stupid like this, how could his uncle Wang love him like a jewel.
Is it because she's stupid?
The dinner was about to begin, and all the hunt of the day was taken care of, and it was set up by the fire, and the burnt smell of the roasted ones overflowed, and the grease dripped on the fire and made a sizzling sound.
Qi Ling walked out of the tent refreshed, although Jia Yulan was reluctant to come out to participate in such a banquet, it would not affect his good mood.
The suburbs were simple, and everyone sat on the floor, with only a low table in front of them.
The little eunuch brought the roasted meat to the table.
Whole rabbit chicken, and lamb venison.
Qi Ling said a few opening remarks and let everyone do it.
Then the dancing girls sang and danced around the fire, and the whole dinner was lively.
Min Yeon's face was expressionless, and she chopped the meat in front of her into pieces as if she was angry.
Qi Ling looked at Min Yan and said, "Min Yan, even if you don't win, don't be angry, Qiu Yuebai, who has just paid tribute, come and go." ”
As he spoke, he asked the little eunuch to bring a jar over.
The people around looked at it and called it jealous, and the little eunuch bowed down to Minyan, poured her a glass and withdrew.
Min Yan stood up and said, "Thank you Uncle Huang for the wine, this first cup, Min Yan will pay tribute to Uncle Huang, I wish Uncle Huang eternal youth, longevity and Tianqi." ”
As soon as Min Yeon spoke, she heard a few sneers.
Qi Ling also smiled and said, "I'm not a woman, what do you want to stay young forever?" ”
"Who said that men don't need to stay young forever, Minyan still thinks that the young and handsome imperial uncle is the best-looking."
With Minyan taking the lead, the people below toasted Qi Ling one after another, and Qi Ling accepted them one by one.
It's just that this year's new Qiuyue liquor is strong, and after a few rounds, Qi Ling feels overwhelmed.
Qi Zhi on the side asked, "Brother Huang, brother help you to rest!" ”
Qi Ling waved his hand, "No, I can still do it, I'll leave it to you here." ”
