Due to the lack of Ji Qiang in the family banquet, everyone was bored.

The moonlight was incomparably bright, cold and sprinkled on the ground, and the branches seemed to be wrapped in a layer of silver.

Ji Yang hugged the poppy in the courtyard, looked at Mingyue and sighed: "I don't know how my sister is now." ”

"Don't worry, husband, it will be safe." The poppy took his hand and rested her head on his shoulder.

Ji Yang sighed, his heart was full of hope, hoping that his sister could find Xia Jingnian and was having a hot reunion dinner.

Flaming Mountain, Bamboo House Forest.

Two people, two wolves and a snow fox surrounded the wooden table, Ji Qiang sandwiched a piece of meat and covered it with seasonings, and the entrance was tender and smooth. She gave a thumbs up and looked at Xia Jingnian with a smile: "You taste this mutton, it's delicious, and it doesn't taste at all." ”

Xia Jingnian looked at Ji Qiang's enjoyment, bowed his head slightly, he took a piece of meat and dipped it in a porcelain bowl to learn from Ji Qiang's appearance, and tasted it carefully. The mutton is tender and smooth, very delicious, but there is no trace of smell.

"How." Ji Qiang looked at him expectantly.

Xia Jingnian nodded slowly: "Yes, Qiang'er's cooking skills are a lot more exquisite." ”

After receiving the praise, Ji Qiang bowed her head triumphantly: "That's not it." ”

"I'm so blessed." Xia Jingnian smiled, scratching her chin with her free hand.

Ji Qiang smiled and sneered at him, lowered his head and took a sip of rich bone broth: "It's the New Year, just the two of us, you feel desolate." ”

Xia Jingnian took a sip of soup from the bowl in her hand, and shook her head when she heard the words: "No, participating in the palace banquet is just to watch the excitement." This year is the first good year after the mother left. ”

"Your mother must be a gentle and beautiful woman." Ji Qiang put soup in his bowl, said softly, and looked at Xia Jingnian's side face a little stunned.

It's really, it's too delicate and good-looking.

Xia Jingnian didn't notice Ji Qiang's distraction, he sighed slightly: "Yes, the mother concubine is gentle by nature, if she is still alive, she will definitely like you very much." ”

"Don't be sad, I'll be with you in the future." Ji Qiang held his hand and smiled again, "Taste this sauce bone." ”

The two wolves were tempted by the flesh and bones to drool, and they watched their masters gnaw on the bones and whined.

Ji Qiang put the gnawed bones on the ground funny, and the wolf immediately stepped forward, ate it without dividing it into two in three times, and looked at Ji Qiang with a blank look.

"There's a wild boar thirty meters to the east." Xia Jingnian raised his hand and touched their heads, "If you want to eat a full meal during the New Year, go ahead." ”

As soon as the words fell, the wolf jumped out of the door, and the snow fox followed half a beat slower.

Ji Qiang was dumbfounded: "How do you know that there is a wild boar outside." ”

"After being fed by your medicinal soup, my ear power is much sharper than before, and it is obviously beyond ordinary people." Xia Jingnian explained that he sandwiched a large bone with a lot of meat into Ji Qiang's bowl, and his eyes stopped at her face that had obviously gained weight during this time, with a slight smile on his face.

Ji Qiang muttered while gnawing on the meat: "If I continue to eat like this, my face will get fatter and fatter, and I will not be a beauty in the end." "Keep your books

"Whatever you look like, I like it." Xia Jingnian said with a smile.

Ji Qiang's angry white eyes, but in her heart she was coaxed by his words, she looked at the moon outside the window: "I don't know what is happening in the capital now, my mother must be wiping her tears in the room." ”

"I'm going to take you back." Xia Jingnian is colorful.

Ji Qiang smiled and bowed: "I naturally believe in you, even if you go back, you have to go back with dignity!" ”

The palace banquet in the palace was not as pleasant as before, and the courtiers all had smirks on their faces, flattering the emperor.

Since that day, he tore his face in the court, and there seems to be a little estrangement between the courtiers and the king. Especially Wei Chide, he doesn't do the superficial set at all, except for the necessary etiquette in place, his expression is always indifferent.

The emperor's health is not very good during this time, he always coughs tightly, and sometimes he can cough up blood.

Xia Chengmu has an informant in the palace, and he began to make small moves behind his back, hoping that the prince can be demoted before the emperor dies. Otherwise, until then, the crown prince will have to sit on the throne.

He didn't want to be so cheap for the prince, and his eyeliner in the prince's mansion also tried hard to pry the prince to usurp the throne.

"Ladies and gentlemen, it's a new year." The emperor sat on the dragon throne and said decent words, he looked around, sighed and said, "I don't want to be separated from all of you, the matter of King Qi, I have my own success in my heart." ”

Wei Chide smiled, raised his hand and said: "It's good that Your Majesty can think like this, don't say much, when will Your Majesty send the Royal Forest Army to find King Qi back." ”

The emperor looked stunned, and there was already a trace of anger, he had never seen such a hard bone. He slapped the table, feeling a stuffy breath in his chest and coughing again.

Lin Qian next to her hurriedly put the handkerchief on the ground, and the blood stained the handkerchief.

Seeing this, the courtiers didn't dare to speak again, and Wei Chide stopped talking, but finally shut up.

"Your Majesty, you have to pay attention to your body." Lin Qian's eyes were worried, she gave the emperor a good breath, and said, "General Wei Chi is also worried about the country, and he spoke more heavily." Your Majesty, don't worry about his old bones, it's better to send the Imperial Forest Army out to find the king, and you can also block the mouth of Youyou. ”

The emperor was thoughtful, he took a sip of tea and calmed down, and looked at Lin Qian's eyes more and more satisfied: "Concubine Shu is the warm cotton jacket in my heart, and I am really pleased in my heart." ”

"The emperor doesn't want to say such things, you have to drink medicine when you go back." Lin Qian said with a smile and filled the emperor with another bowl of soup.

This time she didn't release the poison, but mixed some antidotes, she didn't want the emperor to die.

The prince's eyes below also flashed with worry, his mind was simple, and he was bewitched by the people around him. lest the emperor have something to do, the throne is not entrusted to him.

The emperor's subordinates looked at the looks of the people under him, and he was a little disappointed, and he said with a straight face: "Ladies and gentlemen, I have decided to send the Imperial Forest Army to find the King of Qi. ”

Hearing this, Wei Chide and the others finally relaxed a lot, and they got up one after another and said, "Your Majesty is wise." ”

The queen mother had a smile on her face, as if she didn't care about anything, and she looked like a virtuous queen. In fact, she had already pinched her nails red behind her back, so she didn't know what kind of ecstasy decoction Lin Qian had given the emperor, and she could actually make the emperor so obedient?

How Lin Qian didn't know that the harem concubines looked at her and were jealous, but she liked the eyes that attracted attention and the envy of others, and with a soft smile on her face, she looked at the past one by one.

"What a slut!" The queen bowed her head and whispered.

The maidservant next to her exclaimed: "Niangniang said carefully, now the palace banquet is crowded, and it will not be good if you listen to the incident." ”
