At the palace banquet, the king invited the courtiers as usual.

The king is still in the middle of the throne, and Princess Sangping and Empress Dai Wei Qin are seated on both sides.

Princess Sangping rarely saw so many people, so she naturally took this opportunity to care a little more.

"General Qu, I gave you the roster of all the ladies in the capital before, do you have a favorite candidate?"

Qu Mingli was tasting wine, and when he heard this, he almost choked: "Minister...... It's been a bit busy lately, and I haven't had time to see it yet. ”

Princess Sangping was not annoyed: "Then you have to hurry." General Qu is now in the prime of life, but he is a good son-in-law in the hearts of all courtiers. As long as General Qu tells the palace which lady he has taken a fancy to, the palace will definitely handle this marriage properly. ”

The ministers in the audience also agreed.

Although Qu Mingli has a lot of rumors, he can't stand up to his position as a general, and he is a popular man in front of the king. If you marry your daughter to him, not only will you eat and drink spicy food, but your mother's family will also be able to get some light.

Some people want to climb, others hate it.

Military generals like Qu Mingli are unwilling to socialize with powerful ministers in the court. The generals are rude, where can they let their daughters suffer, if they go to the battlefield and can't come back, won't they become widows.

When King Zhengwang heard Princess Sangping's words, he smiled: "At the age of the fourth brother, it's still a little early to talk about marriage." You see Zeqing, who is older than the fourth brother, isn't it also the same who hasn't started a family yet? ”

Saying this, Qu Mingli also thought that Ning Zeqing was much older than himself, why hadn't he started a family yet?

Looking at what he does on weekdays, in addition to military affairs or military affairs, there is indeed nowhere to have any opportunities to socialize with women.

If the king and Princess Sangping are in charge, maybe there will really be a breakthrough.

Ning Zeqing arched his hand and said: "The minister has never asked for anything in this matter, and I thank the princess and the king for their concern for the minister." Kechen had made a promise not to marry in this life, and he didn't want to disturb God for these things, so the two of them should think more about others. ”

"Auntie, you see, they don't want to be involved, so you don't have to worry about these things anymore." King Zheng smiled at Princess Sangping.

Princess Sangping said to the king, "Then I won't bother them, can I bother you?" You have been married to the queen for many years, and you still have no heirs, should you also consider the succession of the son? ”

Both the king and the queen were a little embarrassed for a while.

As all the ministers know, the king and queen have been married since they ascended the throne, but they have not had children for many years.

If it just can't be born for a while, forget it, but the reason is because the relationship between the two is weak, and the original ceremony was just to follow the last wish of the previous king.

The two are so intimate, even if it takes another four or five years, I am afraid it will be difficult to achieve anything.

For a while, all the ministers didn't care who Sang Ping was connecting with, and they all urged the two to get up.

It seems that he is urging the heir, but he is still dissatisfied with the cold feelings of the two.

stabbed the difference between the relationship between the two people at once, and the king and the queen were a little unable to get off the stage, stiffening their necks, not knowing how to reply.

Princess Sangping sighed and said: "Our son is different from other countries, since the founding of the country, we have pursued monogamy, which is originally to thank the ancestors for their deep affection and the friendship of fighting the world together. Of course, this also led to the gradual reduction of children. In Shu'er's generation, there is only one bloodline left. Shu'er, you should also know that the burden on your body, although it can be postponed, it cannot be escaped after all. Think more about it yourself. ”

The king was silent.

Princess Sangping said to Empress Dai again: "You are also a poor baby, your father and grandfather both died for the country, and they are really heroes." I should have treated you with a lot of respect. But this matter is related to the national system, and I hope you will be a little concerned. ”

Empress Dai was silent.

For a while, the atmosphere of the entire New Year's banquet became a little gloomy.

Qu Mingli saw that Wei Qin was embarrassed by the political king, and he was also a little worried, and wanted to share some worries for them.

"This eight-treasure rice in the palace is really delicious, I have never eaten such a delicious eight-treasure rice on weekdays."

Princess Sangping was naturally happy when she saw that he liked it: "Although these are coarse grains, they can't compare to any exquisite banquets, but this dish is always indispensable for the New Year, in order to thank the people for their hard work." If you like it, it's fine. ”

"Speaking of which, the fourth brother has been in Zixi for so many years, and I think he is also used to the customs of Duzhong. Besides, your mother is a child attacker, so she is even closer to each other. The king laughed.

Qu Ming replied: "The minister has long been accustomed to things in the capital, and I thank the king for taking care of him." ”

The two of them were talking casually, but in the ears of those who care, they have other meanings.

The New Year's banquet in the palace was dispersed, and the ministers dispersed separately and returned to their homes to celebrate the New Year with their families.

Qu Mingli had just returned to the house, and before he had time to change his clothes, someone outside came to report: "Ning Mansion invites the general to come over." ”

Qu Ming was overjoyed, could it be that Ning Zeqing invited himself to celebrate the New Year together?

He hurriedly rushed to Ning Mansion, but when he arrived at Ning Mansion, he invited him to Ning Zeqing's study.

Ning Zeqing looked at him with a straight face and frowned, which made Qu Mingli feel stunned.

"You say, 'Your mother is a son of attackers?'

Qu Mingli was dumbfounded for a while, a little nervous.

When he enlisted in the Hundred Tribes Army, he handed in the family message, which said that his mother was not the one who attacked him.

Ning Zeqing was very suspicious of him in the past, but now let him grasp this handle, and he doesn't know how to make a fuss.

Thinking about it like this, he felt a little cold in his heart.

"My mother was a son. If you think that you have seized the hand of me, go to the king and complain to me, saying that I am of unknown origin and that I need to be interrogated severely. ”

Ning Ze cleared his breath and said patiently: "Then why did I send someone to investigate your life experience, but I didn't find anything wrong?" ”

Qu Mingli didn't know that Ning Zeqing had investigated him, and those were all arranged for him by Uncle Ling, so how could he say it. So I was speechless for a while.

Ning Zeqing looked at his overwhelmed expression and pondered for a moment: "Today, you should make this matter in the main hall, and all the ministers have heard it, and I am afraid that in the future, there will be few people who will make a fuss about this matter with you." What's next, you'll figure it out for yourself. ”

Qu Mingli was slightly stunned: "Aren't you going to denounce me?" ”

Ning Zeqing glanced at him: "You were originally a foreigner, but now you have a little more bloodline of Zi Raid, and you have a closer relationship with Zi Attack, which is also a good thing." Besides, you don't do anything on weekdays, and you don't threaten to attack. Now that you are a great general, you are very important, how can you be easily suspicious. Neither the country nor the army is a good idea. ”

Qu Mingli heard this, and he didn't know what to think. It can be seen that he didn't say much, he was so bored, so he left in a hurry.

Wu Qingsheng originally heard that Qu Ming had left the mansion, and specially prepared refreshments for him. But when I got to the door, I only saw the back of a departing person.

Wu Qingsheng asked, "General Qu, what's wrong?" During the New Year, he didn't seem to be very happy. ”

Ning Zeqing sighed: "His current position, how many people are staring, and he can't make a mistake." But he's still so freewheeling, where can people rest assured. ”

Wu Qingsheng smiled when he heard this: "You just think too perfectly, Mingli is much smaller than you, where can you not leak." After a while, it will be ripe. ”

"I hope so......"
