Chapter 282: Eventful

"Miss, the prince spent the night in the corridor last night and didn't go back to his room to rest, isn't it good?"

In the morning, Mo Zhu estimated that the hour was almost up, so he went to fetch hot water and went upstairs to wait for the young lady to wash.

Qi Shu's spirit obviously didn't look very good, his face was 10 points tired, his pale face had a trace of staying up late, his eye sockets were all blue and black, and he didn't seem to sleep well.

Mo Zhu was relieved, but he still didn't say anything, just told Ning Ze about spending the night in the corridor last night.

Qi Shu's face was full of sorrow, obviously not very interested, and when he heard Mo Zhu say about Ning Ze, he quickly raised his head and glanced at her.

It seems to be questioning the veracity of what she says.

Qi Shu didn't ask, and Mo Zhu naturally didn't take the initiative to say.

Pursing his lips, Qi Shu felt a little thirsty in his throat, and then asked, "What about people?" ”

"The prince went to the court of Qi to attend the banquet again, saying that the banquet will be held for several days."

In fact, what Mozhu wanted to say was that Qi Shu didn't participate? The host was also above the banquet.

Qi Shu thought for a while, but did not continue to ask, his head was a little dizzy.

"Miss, let's have some breakfast, Mozhu go down and get it, does Miss have anything special to eat?"

"Just take some and don't go out, rest in your room, and tell the others not to bother." Qi Shu shook her head, the traces on her body did not fade for a while, and she still had to stay in the house.

"Yes, miss." After agreeing, Mo Zhu picked up the used basin, and then walked outside, and when he left the door, he put the basin down, then turned around and closed the door, and smiled at Qi Shu, who was watching her.

Qi Shu watched Mo Zhu's movements so fixedly, and somehow, he suddenly had an urge to escape.

She wanted to get out of here, out of it all, from the people who bothered her.

Looking back, she is here with Ning Ze now, saying that there was turmoil in the Wei State, but she didn't know at all, it was impossible to expect Ning Ze to take the initiative to tell her, she still learned from Zhao Huanting, no wonder Zhao Huanting always wanted to take herself away from the Wei State, she must have predicted something in advance.

But you can't get around his current identity, he is a man, but why does he disguise himself as a woman to deceive the world? It's a bit of a weird thing.

There's no way to start.

Ning Ze wanted to know from her what they said that day, she gritted her teeth and didn't say it, Zhao Huanting told her her biggest secret because she believed her, and it was impossible for her to betray her.

And it is estimated that no one will believe her even if she says it, because no one will believe that Zhao Huanting, the princess of Zhao Kingdom, is a man, how can Zhao Huanting, who has a beautiful face and a slender temperament, be a woman?

Qi Shu felt that she was not only worried about the current situation in Wei, but also worried about Zhao Huanting and Ning Ze's affairs, but also worried about herself.

According to what Zhao Huanting said, if the court of Wei is turbulent, it is absolutely impossible to compare with those treacherous and cunning ministers in the court with her current qualifications and means.

And so far, after she and Ning Ze worked together to solve the matter in Guangchuan County, His Majesty has not moved at all, and the material rewards are very rich, but if it is a meritorious service, it is necessary to make a fortune.

It stands to reason that she has the status of the county lord and should be qualified to enter the court, but His Majesty has not moved for a long time, which is what Qi Shu feels frustrated.

Ning Ze had never told him about this, maybe in his opinion, it was enough for him to get a lot of rewards, but she really wanted to be an official in the court.

Wei has set a precedent that the first emperor is the empress, and it stands to reason that women can go to the court.

If it doesn't work in Wei, where can it work in other countries?

But now, the situation in Wei has changed, how can Qi Shu feel that he is going farther and farther, and he is getting more and more boundless, and there is a big gap from what he originally expected.

If he returned to Wei, would he be raised in captivity by Ning Ze?

If the situation is extremely bad, she believes that Yi Ning Ze's temperament will definitely not let her get her hands dirty.

So what should she do? Are you willing to be at the mercy of you?

has obviously come out of the boudoir, is it still going to be pushed back step by step now? Qi Shu subconsciously resisted such an arrangement.

Ning Ze treats her very well, and she is indeed affectionate, but she is not a vase, not an existence that is offered. She wanted to find an opportunity to talk to Ning Ze first, and then go to Zhao Huanting, even if she didn't go to what she promised to others, she had to explain it carefully to others if she regretted not keeping the contract.

Therefore, when they came back from the banquet, she had to find Ning Ze first, and then Zhao Huanting, and after figuring it out, Qi Shu felt a lot relieved.

It's just that I don't know how the two of them will be at the banquet and what will happen to them, I just hope to return safely.

Ning Ze didn't sleep well all night last night, struggling between intermittent half-dreaming and half-waking, Qiu Tiger has always been aggressive, but it is a lot inferior in Quanzhou, probably because of the geography.

Qi Shu really locked him out all night.

also blamed himself for not holding it, if he held it, maybe the force of the attack would not be so heavy, and it would not cause Qi Shu's disgust.

However, it is useless to say more about the matter at this point, and she still honestly suffers from Qi Shu's anger, and when she is angry, this life will be better. Before she was angry, he still had to let her more, after all, she was a woman, not as generous as a man.

"Lord, the venue of today's banquet has been changed, this is the will of His Majesty of this dynasty, please move." The official surnamed Qi who was standing beside Ning Ze said cautiously.

He looked at Ning Ze's eyes as if he was wandering into the world, he didn't know what he was thinking, and he didn't dare to disturb the other party, after all, it was very useless to speculate on the thoughts of people he was not familiar with, in case he was angry, it would not end well.

After all, people seek advantages and avoid disadvantages.

"Uh, huh? Well. Ning Ze was stunned at first, then responded a few times to the Qi State official beside him, and then followed him, following the direction he was guiding.

What exactly does Qi Guo Lu Nong want to do?

Why did they have to visit his Qi Palace before the banquet? And the visit is half a day, and after the visit, they will be taken to the banquet hall to eat, drink and have fun.

It was like this yesterday, and Ning Ze has a hunch that it will be like this today.

The more unpredictable the behavior, the more fearful it becomes, and Ning Ze himself will never dare to relax his vigilance.

The State of Qi is not weak, although the agricultural merchants are not as good as the State of Wei, but in terms of comprehensive strength, they are slightly higher than the State of Wei. Moreover, the Wei State is now in a stage of recuperation, and has no intention of developing armaments except for agriculture and business. After so many years of following Yanmo's side, he can still see some of his tendencies.

He had also heard about Qi Guo's private contact with Zhao Guo, but he was not nervous, because as far as Zhao Huanting's temperament was concerned, he would not be willing to be anyone's vassal state.

Even if he can get some protection after attaching the Qi State, it is not a good thing for the Zhao State in the long run, and Ning Ze knows that what Zhao Heng and Zhao Huanting want to do most is to protect the Zhao State first, so as not to destroy it.

So last night, he acted with her, didn't her cooperation show this? Zhao Huanting can't lose her value outside, and he can't let too many people's eyes be on Qi Shu's body.

At least they are in Qi now, not in Wei.

However, if you think about it from another angle, if it is in the Wei State, it is also very tricky. Because not long ago, he received news from Wei State.

Ji Xue actually took advantage of the fact that he, Liu Guogong and many ministers were out to do something to usurp the throne.

She was able to gather Yan Mo and Ji Nan and the old prince Ji Ci together in an attempt to besiege them! If it weren't for the male pet who helped Ji Xue's errands to tell His Majesty, the consequences would be unknown.

Although Ning Ze knew that even if he didn't tell the truth, Yan Mo, who was in the inner courtyard of the palace, was definitely not as easy to deal with as he seemed.

Ji Xue's approach was tantamount to hitting a stone with an egg, to be honest, Ning Ze didn't know that she had such courage to dare to challenge the throne.

The result is self-evident, Ji Xue died, and her head was in a different place.

Because of the usurpation of the dynasty, it was hastily buried, and they said that it was not buried in the imperial tomb.

He was shocked when he learned the news, but then he calmed down, if there was anything urgent for him to deal with, His Majesty must have called him back.

However, there was no urging him to return, indicating that the current situation is still very stable.

He didn't tell anyone around him about Ji Xue's death, of course, in fact, anyone was referring to Qi Shu, and he felt that she didn't need to know about it for the time being.

When the time comes, he will naturally make it clear to her, not now.

Even if he knew about Ji Xue, it was not a good thing for Qi Shu, but it was better not to say it anyway.

After Ji Xue's incident, Ning Ze sent a letter to Liu Guogong, but in addition, he didn't write to anyone in Shaoliang City, and it was impossible to say anything to Ji Nan.

The only thing that can play a role in this matter is probably Liu Guogong, who took his youngest son out to follow up and experience, at least take Grandpa Guo back to Shaoliang to stabilize the situation.

He could feel that the undercurrent was surging in the court hall of the Wei State now, as if something had broken through the ground and surfaced, hoping that it was not what he thought.

The next day's banquet was more spacious than the previous night's, with a large circular platform built along the lake. He didn't even know that there was such a bright and beautiful lake in the palace of Qi State.

It was evening, and the sun was already shining bright red on the horizon, and the periphery was as if blood had been diluted by water, with different shades and uneven colors.

When everything in the sky is reflected in the lake, the originally clear and clear lake reflects everything in the sky, like a mirror.

The vibrant gold was unconsciously dazzling in the afterglow of the setting sun, and the people who watched were dazzled and avoided it.

Ning Ze doesn't like the scene of the sunset, he likes vigorous and energetic things, like this kind of sad autumn being lonely Hong, he is used to doing.

"Lord Wang."

Suddenly, a calm and gentle female voice came from behind Ning Ze.

made him subconsciously turn around, in fact, he didn't have to guess to know that the people who could appear at this banquet and dared to come over to answer him were not other candidates except Zhao Huanting.

"What's the matter with the princess?" Ning Ze put on a polite and detached face and said with a slight smile.

It's just that everyone knows that there isn't much warmth in this smile.

"Why, I can't look for you if I have nothing to do?" Zhao Huanting's words hid some coquettish flavor in them, and the people passing by next to her unconsciously looked sideways when they heard it, and they were a little curious.

It is said that Ning Ze, the king of Guanghan, had an affair with Zhao Huanting, the princess of Zhao Kingdom, it seems that the rumors may be true, and the appearance of such an intimate conversation really does not seem to be fake.

But does it mean that Ning Ze, the king of Guanghan, swore to marry only one woman, the Qingming lord of Wei? Those who were present with a little bit of information knew about it.

Now it seems that there is no lust for men? It's just lip service, not really.

"So, princess." Ning Ze smiled slightly, and then he was about to walk away, what he said was unceremoniously, if you want to find it, just look for it, he just ignored her.

Anyway, it doesn't get in the way.

The distance between men and women should be farther and closer to give others enough room for speculation.

He's going to find his place in the ballroom.

He arrived ahead of schedule today, but he still had a face-to-face with Zhao Huanting, and the two of them were the front and back feet, but the monarch of Qin and Lu Nong of Qi had not moved for the time being.

Unlike last night, this time it was not Zhao Huanting who stayed directly opposite him, but the position of the monarch of the Qin State, because he saw that an attendant came over to guide Zhao Huanting and motioned for her to change her seat.

It seems that the relationship between Qin and Qi last night was good, no, to be exact, it should be fruitful.

Otherwise, I wouldn't have lost Zhao Guo's face today.

However, how could he remember that Lu Nong's interest in treating Princess Qin last night surpassed that of Zhao Huanting and surpassed that of everyone present.

It seems that the rumors are not false that Qi Nong loves women.

But is he really not afraid of offending the monarch of the Qin State? Or is he deliberately provocative.

Ning Ze didn't dare to confirm it, but he knew that there were some people in the Qi State who didn't like to deal with the marginal country Qin State.

And don't even look at it.

However, this is also understandable, after all, the Qi State is in the southernmost place, and the Qin State is in the northernmost place.

The two countries do not come and go very often, and they are even very strange. So if Lu Nong accosted Qin Guo for a woman, it was not completely without credibility.

If not, I'll check it out tonight.
