Chapter 60: The Minister Wants to Ask You for a Favor
She bowed her head and her eyebrows were docile: "Back to the emperor, Mama Qi from Taihua Palace just went to Weichen's mansion, saying that she was instructed by the queen mother to let Weichen go to Taihua Palace to talk." ”
"Well, in this way, I let you come to the Wude Palace, but it was delayed."
"Don't hide it from the emperor, when I met Gonggong Xia at the gate of the palace, the minister was really relieved." Gu Lanting got up, leaned over slightly and saluted: "The minister and the queen mother have never had any contact, and this trip to Taihua Palace to talk can really be imagined as sitting on pins and needles." But the Queen Mother's dictation could not be disobeyed, so she could only go hard. ”
"Bold." Qi Lingtian snorted, but his face softened a lot: "If I ask you to sit, you can sit, what are you doing standing?" ”
"Your Majesty." Gu Lanting sat down relaxedly.
Empress Dowager Xiao ordered someone to take her to Taihua Palace, there must be a reason for it. Remembering that last time she and Shen Shichu left the palace, Pei Wan deliberately sent her off, and today Jinyiwei intercepted her halfway and brought her to the Wude Palace, Qi Lingtian obviously didn't want her to have too much contact with that side, so she pushed the boat down the river.
The people of the Xiao family have never been easy to get along with.
"Hule will pass through Helan Pass tomorrow, and he will be able to reach Jinling the day after tomorrow." Qi Lingtian narrowed his black eyes: "There is a huge group of people, and the movement is quite big. ”
"The minister thinks that this person is so treacherous, and he suddenly came to the court this time, and he doesn't know what his plan is."
"You have been traveling in Nanguan with Gu Jiajun for many years, and you are also familiar with Hule. The day after tomorrow, I want you and Shi Chu to follow King Ning to meet his tributary soldiers at the gate of the city. ”
"Yes." Gu Lanting replied lightly, and his eyebrows and eyes were also indifferent.
"I look, you're very calm about this." Qi Lingtian smiled, his eyes were quite meaningful.
"I am mighty, he is the patriarch of a southern tribe, and when he comes to the boundary of Jinling, he can't make any waves." Gu Lanting said, his eyes sank slightly: "If he really dares to act recklessly, let him have no return." ”
"Haha......" Qi Lingtian laughed when he heard this, and his eyes showed approval: "Your momentum is quite like Gu Yan's demeanor back then, and you deserve to be his granddaughter." ”
After a pause, Pei Wan served tea cups for the two of them.
Qi Lingtian picked up the Sheshan Qingluobi in front of him, the fragrant fragrance entered his nose, and he brushed away a few bits of tea foam floating on the tea soup. Blowing the hot air: "I heard from Jinyiwei that you have dealt with a group of people recently. ”
Gu Lanting paused with his hand holding the teacup, then got up and replied: "The Zhuangzi who was married to the minister's mother has been infected by the wicked for a long time, and the minister really can't tolerate it, so in a hurry, he let the ink dye deal with it." ”
"Well, it's not a big deal, if the Jinling Mansion wants to investigate this matter, just tell Mo Ran and let the people of Jinyi Wei come forward to solve it." Qi Lingtian took a sip of tea, his lips and teeth were fragrant, and he couldn't help but admire: "This green snail is sweet and deep when you drink it, and it has the feeling of not losing the clouds and mist of Pengshan." ”
On the way back to Beijing, King Ning stayed in Sheshan for many days, and this tea must have been brought back by him.
Gu Lanting lowered his eyes and took a sip, indeed, the fragrance was mellow, and even the smell of tea had a refreshing feeling.
"It's good tea, indeed." She tasted the sweetness in her mouth, and saw that Qi Lingtian seemed to be in a good mood, so she got up and stood in front of the imperial case, and bowed over: "Your Majesty, the minister wants to ask you for a favor." ”
"Oh?" Seeing her so solemn and serious, Qi Lingtian couldn't help but be a little curious: "You tell me, if it makes sense, I will approve it." ”
