Chapter 1139: Mo Chasing
Li Qitian's face was hideous, and he was so frightened that the spies, Xiong Jinshui and other attendants were like cicadas, and he buried his head tightly and didn't dare to look at the face of the saint.
They don't care about it now, if something happens in the future and the saint loses face, wouldn't it be the sin of those who know it?
Li Qitian paced with his hands in his hands, his face gloomy.
At this moment, a small waiter's voice full of joy suddenly came from outside, "Sheng, the queen mother's palace maid came, saying that the queen mother heard that Prince Zhongshun and the Duke of Dingguo had defeated the Tartars, so quickly drove the Tartars out of the Great Zhou, very happy, the queen mother is going to hold a banquet in the Ci'an Palace today to celebrate the victory of the war." Ask the Holy One if he is free and if he can go to a family feast together. ”
Celebrate, celebrate! What is there to celebrate! Isn't it normal that Xiao Xiao and Ji Zeyu can drive Tatar out of Da Zhou? If he was maybe faster, where would he be worthy of praise from so many people?
Li Qitian's face was dark, and it took a long time to say patiently: "I know." ”
The little chamberlain didn't know that Li Qitian had just become angry, and when he was also happy to regain the lost territory, he also agreed happily at this time, turned around and walked quickly to deliver a letter to Ci'an Palace.
Xiong Jinshui, who was kneeling on the ground, was nervous, and his muscles tensed. I'm afraid that the Son of Heaven will take them out of anger in the blink of an eye, and it's good to beat them, and it's possible to drag them out and cut them off.
Li Qitian gritted his teeth and endured it for a long time before suppressing his anger. He can't show his anger and jealousy outside, that will ruin his identity, he wants to be a wise county king, and being able to tolerate his courtiers is the biggest advantage.
About the same time, Li Qitian took Xiong Jinshui to Ci'an Palace.
Who knew that in front of the gate of Gangdao Palace, he saw lights everywhere in the courtyard of Ci'an Palace, which made Li Qitian think that he was celebrating the New Year at first glance.
At the palace gate, the palace maid of Ci'an Palace saw Li Qitian from a distance and hurriedly ordered one person to tell the queen mother, and the rest knelt on the ground to make a big salute.
"Slaves and maids see the saints."
Li Qitian strode into the courtyard of Ci'an Palace with a cold face. Sure enough, there were still red ribbons and satin flowers hanging above their heads in the courtyard, and even the palace people who usually wore low-key clothes began to wear red and green today.
It can be seen how much the people who have been living in the shadow of the war now attach importance to this news, and how they admire the owl at this time.
The people in the palace who get along with him day and night are still like this, and the people don't know how lively it will be.
As long as he thought that those ordinary people regarded Xiao Xiao as a god of war, and even forgot that the emperor of the Great Zhou Dynasty was him, Li Qitian became more and more angry.
From Tianjizi's approval of Emperor Xing to today's major events, Li Qitian is about to be numb to the problem of Xiaoxiao, but in the face of the situation in Ci'an Palace, Li Qitian is only unwilling.
Because these ignorant women who don't know anything about it, they don't understand it at all when they reason with them, but they have to make themselves angry.
"Brother Huang, you're here." Hearing the rumors from the palace people, Li Helan walked out quickly, curtsy and bowed, and her delicate makeup looked very festive.
Li Qitian suppressed his anger and responded with an "um".
Li Helan said with a smile: "The Great Zhou Dynasty is finally peaceful again. This is also thanks to the royal brother who is willing to give Ah Lan a chance. ”
Li Qitian squinted at Li Helan, "I thought you would mention the dawn." ”
Li Helan had a moment of unhappiness on her face, but in front of Li Qitian, she had always been able to control herself well.
"Brother Huang laughed, Ji Lan is the colt."
"It's good that you understand, don't dwell on Xiao Zhixi like you used to. Don't look at his family, everyone is dead, but he really loves the Qin family, don't you know yet. Li Qitian suddenly stopped and told Li Helan the news that he had just learned, "The Qin family gave birth to another pair of dragon and phoenix fetuses. ”
Li Helan's eyes widened suddenly, her footsteps paused, and she said in disbelief: "Brother Huang...... Aren't the twins of their family dead? ”
"Yes, but the Qin family is good at giving birth and raising, and gave birth to a pair of dragon and phoenix fetuses for Xiao Zhixi." Li Qitian's heart was very sour, and he couldn't help being mean in his words, "You and Ji Lan have been married for so long, and they have two children and four children, can you look at you again?" It's the same woman, why can't you? ”
Li Helan's face turned red, her teeth bit her lip, and she looked up at Li Qitian as if she couldn't believe it.
When Li Qitian saw Li Helan like this, his heart was strangely comfortable. All the way into the main hall.
The harem concubines and queens all gathered here, everyone dressed brightly and delightfully, and they saluted when they saw Li Qitian.
Li Qitian's eyes swept over those flower-like concubines, especially those who were dressed more festive than the New Year, and the boredom in his heart was about to reach its peak.
The queen knows Li Qitian best, and knows that he has always had a lot of jealousy and hatred for Xiao Xiao, and he didn't plan to come today. But the Queen Mother told her that she didn't listen to her, and it was not good for her to make Li Qitian's thoughts public. At this time, seeing Li Qitian's expression, his heart jumped, and he hurriedly retreated without a trace.
"The Queen Mother. Li Qitian saluted the Queen Mother.
The Queen Mother wore a peacock blue homely gown, with a complete set of golden cicada heads on her head, and her whole face was red, as if she was ten years younger all of a sudden. Seeing Li Qitian, he helped his son up with smiling hands.
"Hurry up, hurry up. Or the saint's ability is great, and the right person is arranged, and the Tatars were completely driven out so quickly. The mourning family learned the news, and they couldn't be happy, let's celebrate and celebrate today, and the saint should not only take care of government affairs, but take the opportunity to rest and rest? ”
When the queen mother heard what the queen mother said, she knew that Li Qitian would definitely not be happy, so she lowered her head and carefully thought about how she should leave early.
Li Qitian was impatient and said a few words to the Queen Mother.
The Queen Mother sighed: "After all, they are all friendships that fight the world together, and although the mourning family looks at Xiao Zhixi sometimes is a little arrogant, he still has the ability to fight in the end." How does the Holy Lord plan to reward him this time? ”
The string that was tight in Li Qitian's heart had been touched several times as early as when he accompanied the Queen Mother to constantly discuss the front-line matters. Now that I heard this, I finally broke out after a long period of patience.
"He's just acting at the peak, doing what he does. If this courtier comes to me for a reward for anything he does, what will I do? ”
Li Qitian's tone was too cold, and there was originally laughter and laughter in the entire side hall, but as soon as these words came out, a quiet needle drop could be heard immediately.
The Queen Mother blinked violently a few times before she completely suppressed her consternation at being embarrassed by her son's face in public, and she realized that she seemed to have figured out the wrong holy will.
The Queen Mother smiled awkwardly and said, "What the Son of Heaven said is true." The mourning family has lived in the deep palace for a long time, and their knowledge is limited, and they don't understand some things. ”
The concubines lowered their heads, no matter how stupid they were, they knew that no one could make a head bird at this time, and once they did, they might not have a chance to turn over in this life.
Li Qitian looked around, and his dissatisfied eyes swept over the concubines present one by one, and finally his eyes fell on the Queen Mother.
"The queen mother has indeed lived in the deep palace for a long time and doesn't understand anything. The queen mother should know what internal strength is and can't interfere in politics, right? In the past, I didn't care about the queen mother's clan, and the queen mother thought that she had forgotten about it, right? ”
The queen changed dramatically, and her hands trembled.
"Yes, what the Son of Heaven said is that the mourning family is old and doesn't understand too many things, and the mourning family just cares about the Son of Heaven, so they will say more."
Li Qitian sneered, "Really." The body of the queen mother is important, you still think more about yourself. Ci'an Palace also has a small Buddha hall, looking back I let people decorate the Buddha Hall as a mother like the look, you have nothing to do in the Buddha Hall to stay, eat fast, chant Buddha, copy scriptures, calm down to be peaceful, do you say? ”
Li Qitian has grounded the Queen Mother!
The queen buried her head lower, for fear of meeting Li Qitian's eyes.
But Li Qitian didn't care what these concubines thought of him, he smiled again: "You too, it's okay to cultivate yourself more, the imperial court is not rich now, and the treasury and internal funds are tight because of the war." It's good for you guys, you just know that the dressed demon Jojo walks around, and there is nothing to do when he is full of food? If you have time, you can do more needlework, or you can also chant Buddha with the Queen Mother, and you will have nothing to do and move around less! ”
"The concubine obeys!" The concubines knelt down in unison and saluted.
Li Qitian stood up, dusted off his robe and put non-existent dust on it, "I'm busy with government affairs, so I'll leave first." ”
Where did the Queen Mother dare to ask about the family banquet? The Son of Heaven just said that he should be frugal, and he didn't dare to eat this banquet, and the Queen Mother said that she was tired, so she asked everyone to disperse.
The queen left Ci'an Palace all the way and returned to her Kunning Palace to breathe a sigh of relief.
"Niangniang, the slave maid heard that Prince Zhongshun gave birth to a pair of dragon and phoenix fetuses for Prince Zhongshun."
"Who's talking?"
"It was the little chamberlain who was waiting by the Son of Heaven, and he said it unintentionally."
The queen raised her hand and waved away the palace maid, and smiled helplessly.
No wonder the Son of Heaven is so abnormal today, this is jealousy that can't be hidden.
Thinking of Xiao Xiao, the queen couldn't help but think of the time she spent with Xiao Xiao on the other side of the suspension bridge that day.
Looking back now, it was a dream.
It's just that with her understanding of Li Qitian, how can he relieve his anger if he only loses his temper like this?
Next, the Son of Heaven must do something to Xiao Zhixi.
And she's just a harem girl, so she can't help with anything at all.
Xiao Xiao and Ji Zeyu combined their swords to expel the Tartars, driving the Tartars out of the Heavenly Domain Pass all the way, and the news spread all over the capital.
For a time, the reputation of Prince Zhongshun and the god of war of Dingguo Gong was in the limelight. Even Huangkou Xiao'er knows that when he grows up, he will be a brave and good soldier like Prince Zhongshun, who is good at fighting for the country and the people.
The people's remarks were probed by spies, and they continued to reach Li Qitian's ears, and he felt that his patience had almost reached the limit.
I can't give him another chance to perform!
"Tell Xiao Zhixi that the poor Kou Mo chases. If you're all kicked out, don't show off your abilities! ”
