Chapter 564: The Imperial Meeting (2)
Qin Yining was helped out of the carriage by the owl, raised his eyes and looked around, only to see many guards from the Gyeonggi battalion in front of him isolating both sides of the road, and a top official sedan chair was blocked at both ends.
With such a big battle in the Holy Lord, Prince Zhongshun did not allow the rest of the official sedan chairs to walk when he came, and let so many soldiers be isolated on both sides, obviously wanting to promote his favor to Prince Zhongshun, and also to make everyone present feel Prince Zhongshun's dominance.
Qin Yining sneered in his heart, feeling that Li Qitian's methods were really getting more and more petty, and he especially liked to do things like to do things like this, so much so that he was no different from a woman in an inner house.
Seeing that Qin Yining's delicate face was slightly gloomy, Xiao Xiao smiled soothingly: "Sister Yi'er, don't be like this, you didn't let others succeed and hurt yourself." ”
Qin Yining nodded, since she was pregnant, she seemed to be particularly easy to be emotionally affected, which was indeed not good for her health.
Helping Xiao Xiao's men to get out of the carriage, Qin Yining raised his eyes, and suddenly passed through the layers of crowds and met a pair of familiar eyes.
It's the father!
Those eyes, which were very similar to hers, were full of joy and care at this time. Craned her neck through the crowd, anxiously trying to see her situation clearly.
Qin Yining's tears surged up all of a sudden, and he almost cried on the spot.
The father is such an outstanding person, like a fairy, but now he is also like thousands of fathers in the world, excitedly looking forward to his children.
Seeing that Qin Huaiyuan had lost a lot of weight, Qin Yining felt very guilty in his heart. If something happened to her this time, my father must have been anxious. The chaotic situation at home, not to mention Qin Yining, knows that her father may have been under all kinds of pressure, and he still maintains her as before.
Qin Yining's tears swirled in his eyes, and he wanted to walk to Qin Huaiyuan's side.
Qin Huaiyuan smiled at her and nodded, but waved his hand to signal her not to go over.
He could see that his daughter had gone through a lot of hardships, and although she had lost a lot of weight and looked weaker than before, her attitude towards her was still the same as before. It can be seen that Xiao Xiao didn't mind Qin Yining's kidnapping to Tatar at all.
As long as the two of them are together, in Qin Huaiyuan's opinion, this is a very satisfying thing.
Xiao Xiao followed Qin Yining's line of sight, and also saw Qin Huaiyuan.
Although this was before the court meeting, many of the civil and military officials around him were watching, but after thinking about it, anyway, the current situation is already like this, and after his deployment, it is estimated that the saint will also hate their faction in the future, and Qin Huaiyuan is his father-in-law, and the saint will definitely divide him into his faction.
He didn't shy away from it, so he simply took Qin Yining's hand and walked towards Qin Huaiyuan.
The crowd couldn't help but look this way.
There was a moment of silence.
Qin Huaiyuan frowned at first, then figured it out, and looked at Xiao Xiao and Qin Yining with a smile.
Qin Xiuyuan pulled Qin Huaiyuan worriedly: "Big brother, this ......"
"It doesn't matter." Qin Huaiyuan said comfortingly.
At this time, Xiao Xiao and Qin Yining had already arrived in front of him, and even the soldiers of the Gyeonggi Guard stepped aside.
Qin Yining and Xiao Xiao walked side by side to Qin Huaiyuan and saluted in unison.
"Father."
"Father-in-law."
"Good, good, excuse me." Qin Huaiyuan held one in one hand, first smiled at Xiao Xiao, and then looked at Qin Yining and said, "Lose weight." But it's good to be back. ”
"Yes. Father, I am fine, fortunately this time the prince arrived in time, although I experienced some thrills, but it was fine. ”
"That's good, that's good." Qin Huaiyuan smiled and nodded repeatedly.
Qin Yining and Xiao Xiao saw Qin Xiuyuan on the side again.
"Second uncle."
"Good, it's good, it's good, it's good." Qin Xiuyuan was also overjoyed, and his eyes were already red.
Xiao Xiao said: "Father-in-law don't worry, although Sister Yi was kidnapped and went through a lot of hardships, she is smart and strong, and she can always save the day." Now Sister Yi is three months pregnant, and at the end of the year, her father-in-law will be able to hold her grandson. ”
Qin Huaiyuan and Qin Xiuyuan were both stunned.
Qin Huaiyuan couldn't help but secretly calculate, and made sure that Qin Yining's child was a scumbag, and his daughter was not spoiled by the Tatars, nor was she disliked by her son-in-law, so she immediately nodded happily again and again, and even lost her immortal spirit over the years, and laughed loudly: "Okay, go home when you go back, let's make up for it." You're too skinny. ”
Qin Xiuyuan also said happily: "Yes, your mother and your second aunt both miss you. ”
Qin Yining was a little shy, "Are your mother and second aunt okay?" Are you doing at home? ”
"It's all good, it's all good. You'll find out when you go home and see you later. Qin Huaiyuan said with a smile on his face.
Qin Yining smiled and nodded.
The original solemn atmosphere was diluted a lot by this small talk, Qin Yining was still a little worried, but at this time, he saw Qin Huaiyuan's natural expression, as if he was confident, and he was also calm, thinking that he was pregnant, he would not tell him about some things, and he must have made arrangements outside.
Qin Yining's originally hanging heart was also half relieved.
When he spoke here, Xiao Xiao had already instructed the Gyeonggi Guard, who was blocking other officials: "There is no need to do this kind of thing in the future, everyone is a courtier who is loyal to the saint, and the directors of each department are just going to divide the high and low, but let our relationship be divided." On whose orders are you doing this? ”
In his words, he already accused the other party of provoking the relationship between him and other ministers, where did the people of Gyeonggi Guard dare to say that this was a holy order? I had no choice but to retreat in a sneering manner, so as not to cause any more trouble.
The officials who were closer to each other listened to this conversation and vaguely understood something. It's just that they are just ordinary officials after all, and they don't want to really participate in the court battle, so naturally they don't want to say anything outside. But when chatting with trusted relatives behind your back, or saying things like "only tell you one and don't tell others", it will inevitably spread today's events, and the purpose of the will be achieved sooner or later.
Qin Yining: This is the first time to see the Great Dynasty Meeting. Because of Li Qitian's special instructions, Xiao Xiao and Qin Yining had to temporarily say goodbye to Qin Huaiyuan and Qin Xiuyuan, waiting for the Holy Lord's announcement.
This is not the first time Qin Yining has faced such an urgent situation, but it is the first time that he has not participated in it. Xiao Xiao was worried about her body, and almost didn't let her interfere with anything, Qin Yining didn't know anything about the progress of the matter, although she trusted Xiao Xiao, she was still very worried.
Feeling that her palms were sweaty, Xiao Xiao couldn't help but take her hand and wipe it on her pro-dynasty clothes.
"Don't be afraid, it'll be fine. I will be able to protect you and our family. ”
Qin Yining smiled bitterly, "I naturally believe you, but the current situation doesn't look optimistic, and you won't tell me anything, I don't know anything, of course I'll be worried." ”
Xiao Xiao chuckled and said: "Okay, I said that you will follow me in the future, just enjoy the happiness with peace of mind, and there is no need to worry about these things." Isn't it good that I have everything in order? ”
Of course, Qin Yining thought this was very good. But when you think about today's predicaments, it's impossible not to care about them at all.
Just when Qin Yining frowned and was silent, and he wanted to come forward to appease him worriedly, the voice of the inner prison suddenly came from outside.
"There is a decree in the saint, declare the prince and the princess to discuss politics!"
"Obey." Xiao Xiao straightened Qin Yining's clothes, took her hand close to her lips and kissed it lightly, and said, "Peace of mind, believe me." ”
Qin Yining looked at him and nodded solemnly.
Things have come to this point, and she can't afford to look ahead and backward. Anyway, whether they succeed or fail, they are all together.
The two of them accompanied the inner eunuch who passed the decree all the way to the Zhenghe Palace, and the voice of the inner eunuch in the inner eunuch was high-pitched and sharp, and it came out of thin air far away, and the sound in the empty hall shook people's eardrums.
Not long after, the voice of the inner eunuch came from the palace: "Prince Xuan Zhongshun and the princess are here!" ”
Xiao Xiao took Qin Yining's hand again and patted it, and then she turned around and stepped up the stairs one step ahead, and walked towards the hall with a calm step.
Qin Yining looked at the palace and took a breath, his eyes immediately fell on the tall back, smiled, and slowly followed.
The atmosphere in the Zhenghe Hall was very tense, and there was a faint atmosphere of slaughter.
The arrival of Xiao Xiao and Qin Yining did not alleviate this atmosphere, but instead made the scene develop to an almost tense level.
After Qin Yining entered the hall, he lowered his eyebrows, and brought into play all the etiquette he had learned from raising his grandmother before, and begged not to let people find the slightest mistake.
Everyone has seen a lot of, but it is the first time they have seen this who took it by force back then, and finally married the "daughter of the enemy" of the. They were originally very curious about Qin Huaiyuan's daughter, but when they met them up close today, many people couldn't help but have the thought of "sure enough" in their hearts.
If it weren't for the creation of such a greasy and graceful appearance, how could it lead Prince Zhongshun to even forget about revenge?
Qin Yining has also seen a big scene no matter what she says, and she only treats the curious or ill-intentioned eyes of these people when they stare at her. Dignified followed, followed behind Xiao Xiao, came close to the front, and saluted Li Qitian.
Li Qitian said with a smile: "Aiqing is flat." ”
"Thank you, Holy Lord." After Xiao Xiao got up by himself, he didn't forget to turn around and help Qin Yining up.
This move is seen in the eyes of the ministers, and their ideas are getting more and more.
Li Qitian said with a smile: "This time, Aiqing brought the princess here, for the sake of the violent death of the Tatar Anari Khan." Aiqing also knew that the current Utkin Khan of Tatar seized on this matter, and said that it was the Prince and Princess Zhongshun who killed him. Now the cavalry is about to invade the border of our Great Zhou. ”
Li Qitian looked at Qin Yining and asked gently, "This matter, presumably the princess should have an explanation to say, right?" ”
Li Qitian put on this posture of benevolence, did not hold him accountable, but gently asked about the situation of the person concerned at the time, and the posture was fully done, and he made up his mind not to let anyone find anything wrong.
