Chapter 48: The County Lord's Careful Thoughts
As soon as Qiu Xun finished telling what happened, the tree exploded.
King Qiong and Qiu Xun both knew it in their hearts, but they couldn't say it in front of Shu'er without evidence, after all, Shu'er was young and impulsive, so he could only temporarily suppress the matter.
Early in the morning, King Qiong Shu'er took all the adults and children in the manor out of the manor, and instructed the Shilipo county magistrate to deal with the matter.
The family returned to King Qiong's mansion.
Morning. When King He saw that King Qiong and Shu'er had also come to see the emperor, he couldn't help but be surprised, why did such a careful plan let him hide again.
King He still came over to pretend to congratulate King Qiong on his triumphant return. Upward, King Qiong took Shu'er to meet the emperor, and played the emperor to commend Shu'er for his bravery and outstanding achievements.
The emperor was happy to see that Shu'er was young and promising, and there was another fierce general in the court. Appreciate the gold and silver of the trees, and be named the general of the protector.
When King He returned to King He's mansion, he was annoyed, and he didn't know why King Qiong was able to escape this catastrophe again.
Now, King Qiong is in power, and he has two right-hand men, Nie Tiancheng and Shu'er. It is not so easy to move to King Joan again.
Just thinking about it, the little guy reported, the prefect asked to see,
As soon as King He saw the prefect, he asked. "What did your brother-in-law do, why did you let King Joan come back alive?"
The prefect hurriedly said, "The plan was very good, but I didn't expect the princess to bring her family to live in it a long time ago, and it should have been discovered by the princess." ”
"A bunch of idiots. I don't know if there are people in the manor. He Wang said fiercely.
"King He, we just need to put our minds on the queen and move directly to that faint monarch, why bother tossing with King Qiong's mansion all day long?" The princess said from the side.
"What do you know," King Qiong glared at the princess and said, "The military power is in the hands of King Qiong, and if it is moved to the emperor, King Qiong will just use the name of our usurpation to fight back, and finally the fisherman will benefit." ”
"Yes, sister. If you want to move to the emperor, you must first abolish King Qiong. The prefect also echoed King He and said.
"Hmph, I am the eldest prince, but my father made the fourth prince the crown prince and gave the second prince military power, without taking me into account," King He gritted his teeth and said, "One day, I will make them all kneel at my feet and call them vassals." ”
"But now, King Qiong has pacified the war in northern Xinjiang again, and he is winning the emperor's favor. If you want to depose King Qiong, it is not easy to say. "The prefect's face is difficult.
"Then I'll go and encourage the queen again, let her blow the wind to the emperor, and then weaken King Qiong's military power." The eldest princess interjected.
"Rely on that faint king, hmph," King Qiong said with a mouthful of foam, "He now relies on King Qiong for everything, weakening King Qiong's military power, he doesn't dare anymore." ”
"So what do you say?" The eldest princess asked helplessly.
"No poison, no husband." King He spat out four words viciously.
The tree came back from the next court, bringing the gold and silver rewarded by the emperor for his father and mother to see.
The nurse was happy to cry and laugh for a while.
King Qiong Qiuxun called the nurse and Shu'er.
"Shu'er, you are also a general now, the official of the imperial court, you can't let your father and mother serve in the mansion anymore." Qiu Xun said to Shu'er very gently, now that the silver given to you by the emperor can also buy a house in the capital, take you back as your father and mother, and let them enjoy happiness with you. ”
"No, princess, are you going to drive us away, I won't go." The tree was a little upset.
"Princess, do you dislike me for being old, I can still work." The nurse also begged Qiu Xun to not let them go.
"Nurse, you have suffered so much before, and in the past few years, you have helped me bring Daji'er and An'er in King Qiong's Mansion, and now that Shu'er has a chance, he can support you, and you should enjoy happiness." Qiu Xun took the nurse's hand and said. "Now that Jill and An'er have grown up and have their own personal girls, it's time for you to rest."
"Yes, Shu'er, you are a general now, and you can't let your father and mother do the work." King Qiong smiled and said to Shu'er, "However, in the future, General Nie will not be available, and you will have to come often to help me train these children who take care of the home." ”
In fact, Shu'er also understands the intentions of King Qiong and the princess, they can't bear to let their father and mother be the servants of the palace anymore, but he is really reluctant to leave this Qiong Palace.
Shu'er knelt in front of King Qiong and Qiu Xun and said, "Without King Qiong and the princess, there would be no me Shu'er, and I will repay this great kindness forever." ”
"Dad, mother, I don't want Brother Shu'er to go," the little county lord walked in.
Qiu Xun pulled the county lord and said, "Brother Shu'er has grown up, it's time to go back to his own home, Ji'er will miss Brother Shu'er in the future, and Brother Shu'er will come to see Ji'er." ”
Shu'er patted the little county lord's head and said, "My brother will come to see you every day and teach you martial arts." ”
"Yes, yes." The county lord clapped his hands happily.
After sending off the nurse and Shu'er, Qiu Xun said to King Qiong, "Ji'er has grown up, it's time to teach her some of the etiquette of the girl's family." In the house, Mr. Zhao can't control her, and he dances with the boys in the nursing home all day long, how can he marry in the future. It's better to send her to the study room in the palace. ”
"You're not afraid that she will go to the Shang's study to cause trouble for you, and I'm also afraid that my little lord will be wronged," King Qiong said. "I'll talk to Mr. Zhao tomorrow, and I'll be a little harsher with her in the future."
Qiu Xun shook her head helplessly, she had nothing to do about King Qiong's spoiling of the county lord.
Spring went to autumn for another two years, and King Qiong's mansion was busy preparing for the thirteenth birthday of the little prince and the county lord.
The little prince has grown into a handsome young man, and the county lord is also graceful.
General Nie and Young Master Shi also came to join in the fun.
The county lord kept looking out of the door, and the person she was waiting for hadn't come yet.
Runyu took a folding fan and gave it to the little prince, "Little prince, I wrote my name and your name on the paper fan and gave it to you, do you like it?" ”
"I like it," the little prince was very happy to accept Runyu's gift, Runyu lowered her head shyly, and her long eyelashes covered a pair of bright eyes.
"Why didn't you see the trees?" King Qiong asked the nurse who helped as soon as she entered the house.
"The emperor was summoned to the palace early in the morning," replied the nurse.
"Nothing will happen, will it?" Qiu Xun took over and asked.
"Yesterday, I heard that the Mongolian Kingdom and the imperial court proposed to make peace, could it be that the emperor is going to give marriage to Shu'er."
General Nie himself thought it was a joke, but he didn't want to alarm two people, one was a nurse and the other was the county lord.
"I heard that they all eat raw meat there," the nurse was a little afraid that the emperor would really give Shu'er a Mongolian girl.
The county lord was anxious, but he didn't speak. is just anxiously looking forward to Brother Shu'er coming back soon.
The feast was about to begin, and the tree rode back.
"Shu'er, is there anything wrong with the emperor recruiting you into the palace?" Qiu Xun asked when he saw that Shu'er's face was a little unsightly.
"It's nothing, Princess." Shu'er obviously didn't want to spoil the atmosphere of this birthday party.
The banquet was over, and Young Master Shi was naturally carried back by General Nie again.
"Shu'er, your face is not good-looking, there must be something wrong with the emperor recruiting you into the palace, right?" Qiu Xun asked again.
"The emperor gave me a marriage," Shu'er said.
"Oh, that's a good thing," Qiu Xun said, "Is it the princess of the palace or the young lady of some minister?" ”
"Neither," Shu'er said with her head bowed, "The emperor said that Mongolia paid tribute and sent a princess to make peace with the court." The emperor said that the princes in the palace were still too young, so he said that he would give me an official marriage. ”
"So, don't you like it?" Qiu Xun asked.
"Well, I don't want to marry a Mongolian woman," Shu'er murmured.
"The emperor should just ask you, he hasn't made an edict yet, you don't want to, I'll talk to the emperor tomorrow morning," King Qiong took over.
"Well, thank you King Joan, then I'll take my leave." Shu'er prepares to leave King Qiong's mansion.
"Brother Shu'er," the county lord called out to him from the door.
"Oh, the county lord," Shu'er knew that the county lord had grown up and could no longer pat her on the head as he used to.
"Brother Shu'er, accompany me to ride a horse, okay?"
"County Lord, it's your birthday today, don't ride a horse today."
"No, I'm going to ride," the county lord grabbed Shu'er's sleeve and pulled him to the base of the wall in the back garden, "Brother Shu'er, carry me over." ”
"County Lord, you've grown up, I can't hold you anymore." In the past, it was the trees that carried her over the wall.
"I don't want you to call me the county lord, call me Jill." The county lord shouted.
Shu'er has not been able to see the county lord anxious since she was a child, as long as she cries, Shu'er will rely on her for everything.
There was no way, so the tree lifted up the county lord, climbed over the wall, and came to the stable.
The county lord got on his horse and said, "Brother Shu'er, you come up too." ”
The tree didn't move.
"If you don't come up, I'll jump off my horse myself," said the county lord, who got up from his horse and was about to jump off.
Shu'er flew on his horse with an arrow and hurriedly hugged the county lord.
The county lord leaned on Shu'er's shoulder, "Brother Shu'er, I don't want you to marry that princess of Mengguo." ”
Shu'er has liked this wayward little county lord since he was a child, but at that time he really liked the county lord as his sister, and later, they grew up. Shu'er knew that he was different from the county lord, he was the son of a nurse, and she was the county lord, they couldn't sit on an equal footing, and he only had respect for the county lord in the future.
When the emperor told him that he was going to give him a marriage. He didn't know why he suddenly remembered the county lord in his heart, it was not that he didn't like the princess of Mengguo, but she wouldn't like all the girls except the county lord.
However, Shu'er knew that it was impossible for him to marry the county lord, so he felt uncomfortable today.
The county lord's head rested on the shoulder of the tree, and the tree unconsciously hugged the county lord tightly, he didn't know whether he was afraid that the county lord would fall off his horse, or he was afraid that he would lose the county lord, anyway, he just didn't want to let go of the county lord, he even wanted to run away with her like this, to a place where no one knew that he was the son of a nurse, and no one knew that she was the county lord.
The horse ran a few hundred meters. Shu'er in the distance saw the gate of King Qiong's mansion, Shu'er was awake, he jumped off his horse, led the horse stiff, and sent the county lord back to King Qiong's mansion.
