Chapter Seventy-One: Something Seems Wrong
After returning from the border, Ning Zeqing responded to Bai Yuxuan's previous words, immediately repaired a book, and sent it to the palace.
Before the reply arrived, Ning Zeqing and his party rested in the palace.
For this matter, Bai Yuxuan also thanked Qu Mingli in private.
"How do you know that I must be talking for you behind my back, if that's just what the general meant?" Qu Mingli asked him.
Bai Yuxuan just smiled: "A person like the eldest princess can't do a set of things in front of her face and behind her back." Since you promised before, you will definitely help me do it. That's for sure. ”
Qu Mingli pursed his lips and did not argue with him.
"Even in private, just call me Deputy General."
Bai Yuxuan smiled and said, "Then according to what Vice Admiral Qu said." ”
Qu Mingli saw him like this, and he didn't know whether to be angry or angry.
"Don't you want to know why I'm the way I am?"
Bai Yuxuan shook his head slightly: "Everyone has their own experience, and I don't want to know the complexity of it, I just need to know about it." If you ask rashly, it will be a lot more abrupt. Besides, how do you know that I'm not going to be investigating behind my back? ”
Qu Mingli wanted to beat him up when he heard this, but he still suppressed the fire in his heart.
"I have helped you achieve your goal, and I have asked you for something." Qu Mingli said to him.
"If there is anything to ask Vice Admiral Qu, I will do my best."
Qu Mingli looked at him, and finally said what he thought in his heart: "I want a jar of grass dew." ”
Bai Yu was stunned and responded: "Okay, I'll send the maid Rong'er to your room later." ”
Qu Mingli saw him respond and left.
Bai Yuxuan looked at his distant figure and sighed, as if he had some heart-to-heart with this prodigal who had no home.
"Vice General Qu, this is the wine sent to you by my country's eldest son." The voice of a maid was heard outside the door.
Qu Mingli hurriedly opened the door, and the maid he saw was the one who often followed Bai Yuxuan, presumably his confidant.
Qu Mingli saw that she was carrying a small wine jar in each hand, and he was afraid that her hand would be heavy, so he hurriedly invited her into the house.
"I only need one altar, why did your son-in-law bring two altars?" Qu Mingli asked.
Miss Rong'er smiled: "Also, I can't spare time, so I can only run again." ”
"And?" Qu Mingli was puzzled.
Miss Rong'er nodded, and when she left for a short time, she came in with a bowl of roast mutton.
Qu Mingli was even more puzzled by such an approach.
"My son-in-law said that this is specially prepared for Vice Admiral Qu."
After the girl Rong'er put her things away, she left Qu Mingli alone to taste the taste of his hometown.
Qu Mingli smiled bitterly, closed the doors and windows, and quietly reminisced about the taste similar to before.
This night, Ning Zeqing did not have such treatment.
He took out the documents and rebel materials that Bai Yuxuan had handed over before under the lamp, and finally found something wrong.
When Ning Zeqing came to Bai Yuxuan with the paperwork, he was instructing his subordinates to do something.
"A few days ago, the second brother told me that the skills of the cooks in the palace are declining more and more, and you transferred the cooks in the palace to him. In addition, the third brother. The fourth brother handed over the invitation and asked for a concubine, but his father left before he could approve it, and he was allowed to do it, but he was not allowed to be too public. In addition, the seventh brother has recently been dissatisfied with the nurse's too strict management, so you can find a good ......."
"The eldest prince really has the demeanor of the lord of the country now, and he takes good care of the affairs of his brothers." Ning Zeqing stepped into the door and spoke.
When Bai Yuxuan saw him coming, he hurriedly stopped talking with his subordinates, stood up to salute him, and said with a smile: "What General Ning said is just some trivial matters at home. ”
"Although it is a trivial matter, it is also a matter of the royal family in the end, how can there be such a thing as a trivial matter. Although it is a national funeral, the eldest prince is not relaxed and slack off internally and externally, and he already looks like the lord of the country. ”
Bai Yuxuan said modestly: "It's a joke." ”
The subordinate interjected: "What General Ning said is true. After the first seven days of the first lord, it is the enthronement gift of the eldest prince. If the general is still here, he will be able to see another grand ceremony. ”
Regarding Bai Yuxuan becoming the next lord of Lian Kingdom, Ning Zeqing was not too surprised.
Bai Yuxuan didn't say much about this, but asked, "I don't know why General Ning came today?" ”
Ning Zeqing took out the two documents he brought, compared them, and said to him: "This is the national oath document you handed over to me that day, and this one is another document that Zi Xi received." The eldest prince looks, what's wrong? ”
Bai Yuxuan took a few closer looks, but didn't find anything: "It's clumsy in the lower eye, I really can't see anything wrong." Please also ask General Ning to make it clear. ”
Ning Zeqing circled the date next to the two documents: "My country has always had the habit of writing the date next to the documents, and I don't want the former king of Lian to have it." But the time when the eldest prince looked at these two places, one was twenty-one, and the other was thirty. These two documents should have been signed at the same time, but why are they different in dates? ”
Bai Yuxuan picked up the two documents and looked at them carefully, before he smiled with Ning Zeqing: "This is the case, but it's easy to say." When my father counted the days, he always used to lean on the whole ten, and he was too lazy to study the number of more than ten times. If the day is out of the ten, then go to the next ten. As a result, sometimes the days do not match. For this matter, I also argued with my father a few times, but he couldn't change it, so I had to let him go. ”
After listening to this, Ning Zeqing couldn't refute it, so he could only explain this inappropriateness according to this statement.
"I wonder if General Ning has anything else to ask me?" Bai Yuxuan asked him with a smile.
"It's not a big deal. It's just that Zi Xi has been trading with Lian for a long time, and the two countries have friendly exchanges, and the tribute sent by Lian is also the richest thing in the country. But in recent days, it seems that there are some slight flaws, I don't know why? So I wanted to ask. ”
Bai Yuxuan was a little surprised: "There is such a thing?" He sighed and said, "I think it's because after my father was seriously ill, the servants relaxed here when they were busy. General Ning rest assured that this kind of thing will definitely not happen again next time. ”
Ning Zeqing hurriedly returned the salute: "Zi Xun didn't mean to blame, he just asked curiously, and asked the eldest prince not to think too much about it." ”
"That's nature." Bai Yuxuan said with a smile.
"One more thing. There are no rare minerals in the territory of Zixi, and King Ming is very curious about the source of gold and jade in your country. This time I was sent here, so that I could see the most precious things in the hundred kingdoms, and I might go back and tell him a thing or two. I don't know if the eldest prince can give Ning a chance, so he can feast his eyes. ”
"This ......" Bai Yuxuan was a little hesitant, "Naturally, it's okay, but I've been busy with government affairs recently, so I can't do it." If the general is not in a hurry, when I am free, I will accompany him to see it. ”
"Of course. When the eldest prince is free, it's not too late to go. ”
Ning Zeqing left, and the subordinates beside Bai Yuxuan looked worried.
"Eldest Prince, ...... over there in the Land of Gold and Jade"
"I know." Bai Yuxuan's face was covered with a layer of coldness.
He pondered for a moment and whispered a few words in his subordinate's ear. The subordinate got the order and left.
