Chapter 38: Excited, Master Returns
When I performed a dance for them, I heard that the new head of the Hundred Ghost Caves was on the throne, the new official took office with three fires, the four hall masters under the new head were replaced by three, the new leader supported his own people, and the whereabouts of the North Protector and the Holy Maiden are unknown. The first queen shouldn't be a person from the Hundred Ghost Caves, right? Could she be the saint whose whereabouts are unknown?
It seems that if you want to find out the truth, you have to start with the relatives of the former queen.
I gave Chunhua and Qingluan two bottles of wound medicine, especially Qingluan, gave her two more bottles, and gave her three days off to let her rest.
There were many doubts in my heart, and my sleep was even more scarce, and I finally squinted for a while, and was interrupted by Chunhua and Qiushi. I really wanted to get angry, but when I saw Qiu Shi's face, he also showed a look of horror, which was rare.
I rubbed my eyes, retracted my hands into the quilt, and asked, "Which palace is haunted with the hellish expression on your face?"
"No, master! Something is wrong! Big deal! Chunhua spread her arms and made a big circle.
I rolled my eyes disdainfully and said to Qiu Shi, "You say."
Qiu Shise shrank down and replied: "This morning, the Duke of Qi asked the emperor to resign, resign from all his duties, and return to his hometown!"
"Father's permission?" I asked.
"Yes." Qiu Shi replied cautiously, "The emperor gave the Duke of Qi a white mu of good land and a thousand taels of silver, and also issued an order to call General Zhenyuan to take over the title." ”
Chunhua asked me, "Master, why aren't you surprised at all?"
I said, "Grandpa is old, and it's time to enjoy his old age."
Actually, what I thought to myself was, I already knew, what to be surprised of. I just didn't expect it to be so soon.
But Chunhua and Qiushi were still standing in place, looking like they wanted to say something and stopped, and the two of them squeezed each other's eyes. As soon as I looked at it, I knew that there was something else, and I didn't know if it was good news or bad news.
"Go on." I got out of bed and stretched.
"The Duke of Qi also recommended a person to His Majesty." Chunhua couldn't help but say it, and I saw Qiushi secretly pinching Chunhua's arm.
I twisted my body, rubbed my sleepy face, and asked, "Who?"
Chunhua said hesitantly: "Yes...... Yes......" She glanced at Qiu Shi again, and Qiu Shi shook her head, as if to signal Chunhua not to be too troublesome.
Chunhua had the courage to say: "Master, it's Li Xun, your master!" In front of the Manchu Dynasty's civil and military affairs, the emperor named him the secretary of Dali Temple. ”
For!
I startled both of them when I jumped up, and the joy rushed over me so much that I forgot what I was supposed to do.
"That...... The ...... "I paced around the dormitory barefoot.
"I ...... What about my white dress embroidered with red plums? ”
"Back to the master, wasn't that skirt too small last year and can't be worn?" Chunhua said.
"Then you can arrange it! I'm going out of the palace! I excitedly sat down at the dresser and fiddled with the jewelry on the table.
"Master! Changsheng's father-in-law came just now and brought a box of books. "Akimi combed my hair and reminded me.
"A box?" I rolled my eyes, is Yun Jihan going to raise me to be a nerd?
"Father-in-law Changsheng also said that His Royal Highness the Crown Prince asked you to go to the East Palace at one o'clock in the afternoon." Qiu Shi said.
Chunhua held the basin of water and said, "Master, we have to hurry up, in the future, it will be rare to see the Duke of Qi in the palace."
Chunhua and Qiushi pulled me back from the clouds to reality, and indeed, there was something more important at this moment than meeting Uncle Li, and I was carried away by the joy of the moment. What stupidity!
I have repeatedly said to myself, calm, calm, no more rash, no more bold, save my life, live well, if I don't die, I won't die, this is my current purpose in life. However, I am still overjoyed, even ecstatic, about Uncle Li's official return.
"Oh! That's right! Chunhua said, "His Royal Highness the Crown Prince also ordered that you are not allowed to leave the palace until you finish reading this box of books, princess!" ”
"What!" The powder on my face was angry, and no matter how I thought about it, I felt that Yun Jihan did it on purpose.
Yun Ji Han clearly didn't want me to see Uncle Li again. From the day Uncle Li became my master; Since I wandered around Uncle Li all day; Since I no longer wanted to play in his East Palace; From the time Uncle Li rode on his horse at night and protected me in his arms; Perhaps, from the time the two of them first met, Yun Jihan was full of hostility towards Uncle Li.
I still remember the day Yun Jihan carried me to the racecourse, his face was not good. He had just performed the crown ceremony that year, and the emperor had begun to take care of the government to him, and he was indeed not as able to take me with me all day long as he used to. Uncle Li who appeared at this time was just right to pass my boring time, not to mention that his face and temperament were too similar to Han Ziyuan.
Yun Jihan put me on the ground and warned Uncle Li, "Lonely baby, you can't hurt a single hair."
Uncle Li touched my head, I smiled at Uncle Li, and I heard Yun Jihan's very unhappy "hiss"!
Yun Jihan picked me up again, pinched my little nose and said, "Isn't it just horseback riding?" Brother teaches you. ”
I shook my head, put my arms around Yun Jihan's neck and squeamished, I said, "The third brother is tired, Yi'er has learned it as soon as possible, so that she can play polo with the third brother!"
Yun Jihan is really busy, otherwise there would be nothing to do with Uncle Li.
He put me down and warned Uncle Li again: "If the sixth princess has any mistakes, you can make feed for the horses!"
Uncle Li responded to Yun Jihan with a smile, without being frightened, let alone flattering, he said: "Your Royal Highness the Prince, rest assured, the sixth princess is also the apprentice of the grass people."
From that moment on, Yun Ji looked at Uncle Li coldly, but it was not pleasing to the eye.
Because I got up too late, I walked in a hurry along the way, almost trotted to the East Palace, and when I entered the main hall, I saw Yun Jihan and Qi Guocheng playing chess, and a table was set up on the chessboard with black and white sons, and it seemed that the two had been waiting for a while.
"Yi'er is late! I also hope that my grandfather and the prince's brother will forgive their sins. I saluted the two of them, and when I saw that neither of them was paying attention to me, I walked to Yun Jihan and looked down at the two of them playing chess.
It's not so much a game of chess, it's more like a game, the game between the master and the master, it seems to be light and light, but in fact the dark tide is turbulent, even if Qi Guogong quits the court, but the white son in his hand will never let others.
"Brother Prince, you're going to lose!"
I said to Yun Jihan.
"Huh!" Yun Jihan raised his head, scraped the tip of my nose, and said, "You're coming?"
He vacated his place and sat down in the back, and I sat down, and I picked up a sunspot, stuck out my tongue, and said, "It's not mine if you lose!"
"Hmmm! Win and win! Yun Jihan squinted at me, I smiled lightly, and fell off.
Qi Guogong stroked his beard, raised his eyes, and smiled and said, "You guys are bullying more and less!"
"Who said that? We generally have a lot of chess pieces in our hands. I said and dropped another son.
Qi Guogong was stunned and stopped talking. Half an hour later, Qi Guogong put down the white son and said, "The old man has underestimated you girl."
"Well, blue is better than blue!" I said arrogantly, squeezing my eyes at Yun Jihan beside me.
"Yi'er, looking for your grandfather today, shouldn't you want to chill your grandfather?" Qi Guogong said with a smile.
Changsheng removed the chessboard, and the palace people served tea, and when the palace people went out, I said, "Yi'er doesn't understand."
"Haha! I'm old! Qi Guogong said, "My Qi Guogong Mansion is not declining, it is already a holy gift, and I should also retire." ”
"No, it's not." I shook my head, I saw that Qi Guogong looked suspicious, and I said, "Yi'er came to see my grandfather today, in fact, I wanted to ask about my biological mother before she entered the palace. ”
Qi Guogong was surprised for a moment, and said with a smile: "Why did Yi'er suddenly remember to ask this?"
"I went to Fengyi Palace yesterday and sat there for a while, I miss her very much." I said half-truthfully, "I'm curious about what kind of person Yi'er's biological mother is." ”
The smile on Qi Guogong's face gradually faded, and a little tear flashed in his eyes, but it quickly dissipated, and he said: "Your mother has been the most sensible of the four children since she was a child, and she is the pride of the old man's life."
"Then ......" I hesitated, subconsciously glanced at Yun Jihan, and said, "That...... Has your birth mother ever been separated from you for a long time, and has there ever been any accidents, such as amnesia or a drastic change in temperament? ”
Qi Guogong looked puzzled and said, "Yi'er, what kind of question are you asking?"
I realized my abruptness and explained, "I, I just want to know more about my mother."
Qi Guogong frowned and said, "Actually, if you ask your grandfather, your grandfather doesn't know." The old man has been fighting for many years, and your mother and your grandmother stay in the capital and are always by your side, that is, two years before she gets married. ”
"At that time, my mother, was she a little overwhelmed?" I asked.
"Naturally! Your mother's appearance is also outstanding among the sons of the Jingzhong family. However, compared to her appearance, her talent is one of the best, and she is known as the first talented woman in Beijing! Referring to this, Qi Guogong said proudly, "At that time, those who came to our general's mansion to propose relatives almost broke the threshold!" ”
"Then, my mother's martial arts, but you taught it yourself?"
Qi Guogong shook his head and said: "I'm ashamed to say that the old man has been fighting horses all his life, and he has too little time to accompany his children, and your mother's martial arts are mostly learned from your uncles!"
"Oh! I also want to learn martial arts. "I diverted the topic and hid the disappointment in my heart, it seems that I can't get any meaningful clues from Qi Guogong.
In the conversation later, I was a little absent-minded, and after Qi Guogong left, I lay on the table in a decadent manner, and my whole body was weak.
Yun Jihan remained silent, just put on his coat for me, leaned on the table with one arm, and silently watched me bulge my mouth into a frog shape.
"Third brother......" I turned my head to look at him.
"Huh?" Yun Jihan replied very softly, with a little caution. As long as it involves the former queen, he will be like this, and yesterday too, not angry, more like worried.
