Chapter 248: Scheme
Hearing this, Pei Ji raised his eyebrows slightly, and said cautiously: "Shouldn't it be that His Royal Highness the Crown Prince has something to say to Weichen?" ”
For His Royal Highness the Crown Prince, he knows something, and with her scheming methods, if it weren't for something to discuss, he would definitely not be courteous without anything.
Yes, for Qi Changrong's arrival, the entire Pei Mansion can be described as flattered, but the favor did not feel much, but was even more surprised.
Seeing that he had broken it, Qi Changrong smiled indifferently: "Pei Qing's eyesight is outstanding. ”
Pei Ji smiled reluctantly, not daring to be praised by her.
It's a blatant thing.
If it weren't for His Royal Highness the Crown Prince having something to say, and not delaying, how could he leave the palace for the New Year? And what can make the prince of the East Palace come in person......
Thinking about it, Pei Ji couldn't help but worry.
At this time, Qi Changrong looked at Pei Ji, who was sitting stiffly, and asked a question he didn't want to hear the most.
"Mrs. Pei...... And where is Pei Xiaogongzi? ”
Pei Ji's eyes flashed, his hands were clenched into fists and he put them to his mouth and coughed lightly, and said: "It's unfortunate that Your Highness is here, Humble Jing and Xiao'er went out early in the morning, and they haven't come back yet." ”
"Oh?" Qi Changrong seemed extremely surprised: "Gu originally thought that it was enough to surprise Pei Qing when he suddenly arrived at Pei Mansion, but he didn't expect that Mrs. Pei and Gu's thoughts coincided. ”
That is to say, although she has no rules, Mrs. Pei's rules are not much better.
The corners of Pei Ji's mouth twitched uncontrollably.
Hearing this, even if he has a thousand and ten thousand disagrees in his heart, the reason has been chosen, and now he can only pinch his nose and admit it.
At this time, Qi Changrong's eyes swept out as if inadvertently, and he happened to catch Pei Ran, who was probing his brain at the side door and eavesdropping.
Immediately, a meaningful smile appeared on the corner of Qi Changrong's mouth, and his strange gaze moved to the body of another person in the hall, sweeping and sweeping.
Seeing this, Pei Ji's heart trembled, and he forced himself to ask, "What's wrong with Your Highness?" ”
"It seems that the time to come alone is very appropriate, Master Pei's wife and little son have returned."
Hearing this, Pei Ji was a little stunned, and subconsciously looked at Qi Changrong's gaze.
I just saw a corner of clothes outside the door.
His complexion changed slightly, and he shouted: "Pei Ran! ”
Pei Ran, who was hiding outside the door, realized that he had been discovered, but it was too late to dodge.
With his father's anger, he had to tug at the corners of his clothes and walk out.
As soon as he entered, a hint of fear fell on Qi Changrong.
Seeing that Pei Ji was already angry, Qi Changrong didn't care much about 'eh', and said disapprovingly: "It's just that the child is returning home, why should Pei Qing be angry?" ”
"However, Mr. Pei is back, and Mrs. Pei should also be back."
It seems that the prince seems to be convinced of the fact that the mother and son are going out.
Hearing this, Pei Ji breathed a sigh of relief, didn't dare to think deeply about his meaning, and followed Qi Changrong's words: "The child is stubborn, let His Royal Highness the Crown Prince see the joke." ”
"No problem."
Although Donggong said this, Pei Ji didn't dare to be careless, and hurriedly beckoned Pei Ji to come forward, and said seriously: "Quickly make amends to His Royal Highness, since you and your mother have returned home, you should ask the prince for guilt as soon as possible." ”
Pei Ji couldn't help but squeeze his eyebrows at him, just hoping that this unlucky son would be more sensible, and don't tear down his platform at this time, otherwise when the time comes, a bully hat will be buttoned down, and he will give Prince Changrong a handle.
Fortunately, although Pei Ran is stupid, he is not stupid to this point.
Directly ignoring Pei Ji's signal, enduring the feeling of numbness in his scalp, Pei Ran walked up to Qi Changrong without a sigh of relief, stopped only a few steps away from her, and saluted honestly:
"Pei Ran has seen His Highness."
Seeing this, a touch of surprise crossed Pei Ji's eyes.
His son, he knew, would never be so obedient.
Qi Changrong's tone was gentle: "The little boy is becoming more and more reasonable, Pei Qing is really blessed." ”
Pei Ji laughed dryly.
Is he blessed? If this stinky boy doesn't toss to the death, he should burn high incense.
Qi Changrong asked: "Little boy, after returning home for a few days, have you ever fallen behind in your homework?" ”
Pei Ran hurriedly replied: "I didn't fall behind, my father checked my homework every day, and I could only do other things if I passed." ”
"Oh, really?"
Qi Changrong looked at Pei Ji, who thought of his unusually obedient son in the past few days, so he nodded: "But that's the case." ”
Pei Ran rubbed his hands a little nervously: "If Your Highness doesn't believe it, you can test me." ”
In the past, when he was in class, the master never once warned him not to have any intention of resisting when facing the prince of the East Palace.
Otherwise, your arms can't reach your thighs, and you'll be the ones who will suffer when the time comes.
And he ...... It is enough to have that one experience.
Thinking of the Lion Forest, Pei Ran became more and more serious, and looked at Qi Changrong with his eyes open.
Seeing that his attitude was sincere, Qi Changrong picked a few questions and asked them casually.
Sure enough, Pei Ran opened his mouth and answered.
After he finished answering, Qi Changrong bowed slightly: "Not bad." ”
Pei Ran's heart when he mentioned his throat and eyes was put back again.
Although it is only a good sentence, this good sentence comes from Qi Changrong's mouth, and the meaning is very different.
"But ......" Qi Changrong's voice changed, and his tone was quiet: "You still have to go back to the wooden house in the future." ”
As soon as these words came out, the atmosphere was in vain.
Pei Ran's face turned pale, and he was speechless for a while.
Even Pei Ji was a little unacceptable, and frowned: "Since Weichen and Mrs. have returned to Beijing, they should be taught by us." ”
"If Pei Qing can take care of the little boy, Gu naturally won't say much." Qi Changrong had a smile in his eyes, but he couldn't say anything: "But Pei Qing is in charge of the household department, I'm afraid that I won't have time to discipline in the future, instead of delaying Pei Xiaogongzi, it is better to send it to the wooden house, if you and your wife miss it, you can go to visit." ”
"This ......" Pei Ji couldn't laugh anymore: "It's a little unkind." ”
Qi Changrong shook the teacup lightly, raised it towards Pei Ji from afar, and said lightly: "Human favor, and the future of the little son, Pei Qing should choose one of the two." ”
There is no such thing as the best of both worlds.
The son raised by Pei Ji in his previous life was unfaithful, unrighteous, unkind and unfilial.
In this life, even if the world has already changed because of her, as long as there is a little possibility, she can't let Pei Ji personally raise Pei Ran.
The danger is too great.
She wasted so much thought on Pei Ran, but she didn't plan to give up halfway.
There are no parents in the world who don't want their children to be well.
Sure enough, after listening to Qi Changrong's words, Pei Ji seemed to be slightly stunned, and then fell into thought.
After a long time, Pei Ji held the teacup in his hand and saluted back: "Xiao'er, I will trouble Your Highness in the future." ”
In this way, he is completely tied to the East Palace.
Pei Ran's eyes widened in disbelief, and just as he wanted to say something more, a hand suddenly appeared behind him, and he patted him on the shoulder twice.
"Little boy, go back, you still have something to say to your father."
Hearing this, Pei Ran's body stiffened, and his mouth, which was finally opened, closed in an instant, looking quite devastated.
Thinking about it, when his parents returned to Beijing, he originally thought that he had found a backer, but in the end, who would have thought that this backer would be unreliable.
Only the two of them were left in the main hall.
Qi Changrong raised his eyes and looked at Pei Ji, this person looked like Jun Chen was about the same age, let alone a few years older, but his eyebrows and eyes were calm, compared to Jun Chen's bleakness and irritability, but he did not mean to be frivolous at all.
The atmosphere became more and more solemn, revealing an unusual meaning, and Pei Ji's heart sank slightly.
Can make the prince of the East Palace ponder this matter......
"Recently, I heard that Yan Guo has repeatedly invaded Yuguan with troops, which is quite unstable, and it seems that there is a intention to mobilize troops on a large scale."
Hearing this, Pei Ji was slightly startled in his heart, and suddenly raised his head and stared at Qi Changrong tightly, trying to find a hint of joking on her face.
However, Qi Changrong could no longer be serious, and continued: "After a while, Yan Guoxing may have a big move, and when the news will be transmitted back to Shangjing, there will inevitably be two voices in the imperial court, one is the main peace, and the other is the main battle. ”
It was related to the border of Yuguan, Pei Ji didn't dare to be careless, and when he heard this, he hurriedly said indignantly: "Does Your Highness want to let Weichen stand in charge?" This is nature, I am in the Dajin region, and I can't lose half a step! If the Yan Kingdom dares to make a move, the general of my Jin Kingdom will not be easy to mess with. ”
"Having said that, Pei Qing should understand in his heart that there are no veterans suitable for the expedition in today's court."
Qi Changrong smiled bitterly, his fingers lightly tapped on the tabletop, and his expression was flat: "In today's court, there are a lot of ghosts, not to mention whether they are willing to put on armor and go into battle, even if they are willing, they are not at ease, if they go to the battlefield, they can't lift a sword in their hands, and they become soft-footed shrimps willing to surrender...... Dajin is in danger. ”
Pei Ji frowned tightly, and said busily: "Your Highness thinks too much, I am a great Jin general, all of them stand up to the sky, and they will never do anything to defect." ”
When he said this, Pei Ji obviously lacked confidence.
He hadn't returned to Beijing for many years, and he really didn't know the situation in the court.
However, it is impossible for the prince of the East Palace to be untargeted, and since she said so, it means that she has found a trace of instability in the court.
If there is really a sudden war in Yuguan, it will be tantamount to an earthquake for him, and it is still unknown whether there will be someone in charge who will voluntarily stand up at that time.
Qi Changrong held his forehead with one hand and knocked on the table with the other, he had a headache.
She didn't know how to explain to Pei Ji, she couldn't tell him directly, saying that there was a powerful minister in the court who was a traitor in the Liang Kingdom, and what was secretly planned during this time, intending to overthrow the entire Great Jin?
If this is said, don't say that Pei Ji doesn't believe it, even Qi Changrong himself thinks it's nonsense.
She had no definite evidence to directly prove Jiang Bowen's rebellion, but she clearly knew that the turmoil in Yan Kingdom was inseparable from him.
It is likely that the purpose is itself.
At that time, if there is really no one to be found in the court, it will be her who will be pushed into battle.
Yuguan is thousands of miles away from Shangjing, and there are a mixture of fish and dragons, there must be Jiang Bowen's eyeliner in the military camp, if that person is attacked in wartime......
Even if it is the prince of the East Palace, if he dies, he will die.
After all, the sword has no eyes, and it is normal to die a few people on the battlefield.
Once Jiang Bowen's plan succeeds, her position will be very passive, perhaps like meat on the chopping board, to be slaughtered.
