Chapter 11: The Coming Storm (1)

Qin Song walked up to Zhou Tianyi embarrassedly, looked up at him wordlessly with blinking eyes, and looked restrained.

Zhou Tianyi felt funny when he looked at her, but he couldn't have a seizure, so he had to say a few relaxing words casually,

"Don't worry, my mother only said that she wanted to see you." Then he stretched out his hand and made a gesture of support,

"Get in the car, it's okay." Qin Song nodded hesitantly, and took Zhou Tianyi's hand by chance, the temperature from the palm surprised her, her hand trembled obviously, but Zhou Tianyi held it more powerfully.

She could only get into the carriage with his support, and the black horse that Zhou Tianyi had abandoned after her also got into the carriage.

"Guanghan, let's go, I'm afraid the concubine will have to wait."

"Yes." After all, it was King Zhao's car, Qin Song sat on the side with interest, bowed his head slightly, and was very quiet.

At this time, her whole head was in chaos, and she could only adjust the hollow and restless tension in her heart by slowing down her breathing, but even so, her heart was still

"Puff puff puff" jumped extraordinarily deeply.

"Qin Song?" Zhou Tianyi didn't expect this girl to be restrained like this, although he was in the battlefield and arranged the troops smoothly, but he had never had the experience of dealing with this kind of thing, and he didn't know what to say for a while, so he had to look sideways and observe her a little carefully.

"Your Highness......" Qin Song raised his head and squeezed out a smile that was more ugly than crying, and he also didn't know what to say.

"Ahem, haha." Zhou Tianyi couldn't help laughing,

"Hey, my mother won't embarrass you, you can believe me for once." He reluctantly emphasized again, raising his hands slightly to show surrender, why is this girl so uncomfortable every time she sees him, where did the coldness and confidence in front of others go?

"Your Highness!" Qin Song frowned and stomped her feet, there was a hint of anger in her tone, what she wanted to see next was not only Zhou Tianyi's biological mother, but also Concubine Qi, who had been favored by the emperor for more than 20 years!

As the saying goes, the face is easy to age, and the true heart is easy to pass away, and since Concubine Qi can inherit such a long-term grace, you can see her means.

In addition to the three sons born to the current saint and Concubine Qi, the other sons of the first emperor died in the battle for the throne two years ago, and she did not have the support of a strong maternal family, but she preserved her sons in the bloody palace.

Even if you don't look at these, in such a big and chaotic harem, it is not easy to give birth to a child safely, but Concubine Qi protected the three sons under her knees, which is also an ability that should not be underestimated.

Zhou Tianyi smiled, Qin Song would cause ripples in his heart every time his true emotions were revealed,

"Qin Song, my mother concubine is different from the ordinary concubines in the palace, if you see her, you will naturally understand." The corners of his mouth twitched, and he nodded to her.

Qin Song was puzzled, but Zhou Tianyi's words did make her feel a little more at ease. The carriage stopped through several palace gates, Zhou Tianyi glanced sideways at the car window, and said to Qin Song: "Get out of the car, you have to walk next." With that, he took the lead in getting out of the carriage and stretched out his hand to Qin Song, who was following him,

"Come on." The ghost sent the gods to the ground, Qin Song just put his hand on it very consciously and got out of the carriage with the help of his strength.

The carriage stopped in a flat open space of bricks and stones, surrounded by high walls, looking at the only open palace gate with no end in sight, Qin Song suddenly had a sense of falling from the wind and rain, her heart swayed fiercely in mid-air, and the feeling of emptiness swept through her body.

Standing in this majestic and solemn boxy, she could immediately feel her own insignificance, and she subconsciously leaned towards Zhou Tianyi's side.

"Protect yourself, this is the ...... after all Palace. As if sensing Qin Song's small movements, Zhou Tianyi gently shook her hand and let go, reminding her.

Yes, this is the palace, it is Zhou Tianlei's palace, their imprudent words and deeds may cause a catastrophe.

"Here, the concubine is waiting for us to have dinner."

"Huh? What the? "Not just to meet, but also to eat? Qin Song was startled, and when he came back to his senses, he saw that Zhou Tianyi had taken a few steps, and immediately followed.

The Hanyao Hall where Concubine Qi lives is very special, it is the closest palace to the Cold Palace, so it takes a lot of time to go all the way.

When Zhou Tianyi and Qin Song appeared at the door of the Hanyao Palace, the sunset had completely sunk below the horizon, and when night fell, it was a few bright lights in this cold palace pavilion, which looked extraordinarily warm.

"Mother, I'm late." Following the palace maid who led the way into the main hall, Zhou Tianyi respectfully saluted the woman with bright makeup sitting on the couch.

"People's daughter Qin Song, meet Concubine Qi!" Qin Song only glanced at Concubine Qi, and she was full of envy in her heart, this lady was more than middle-aged, but her face was not old, and her gestures were even more incomparable, and her charm was endless.

With such a beautiful mother, it is no wonder that King Ping and King Zhao have such looks and bearing.

"Hurry up, this is the girl of the Qin family?" Concubine Qi propped her head, looked Qin Song up and down with interest, and moved her eyes to her youngest son again, as if asking.

Zhou Tianyi nodded with a smile, caught a glimpse of his mother's excited demeanor, and knew that her old problem had been made again, so he turned his head sideways and muttered a few words in Qin Song's ear,

"No matter what my mother says, don't ...... Don't take it to heart. ”

"Lily of the valley, let's pass the meal. Girl, sit here and let the palace take a good look. Concubine Qi changed her sitting posture, left a place on the couch and came out, and motioned for Qin Song to sit down.

"Mother is really ...... Don't worry about me and the tide at all! Before Qin Song moved to Concubine Qi's side, Zhou Tianhe's voice came in from outside the door, and King Ping and Princess Ping Huang Haichao also saluted Concubine Qi respectfully,

"Mother and concubine, my son and daughter-in-law have specially found some folk anecdotes and compiled them into a book for your daily pastime to congratulate my mother on her birthday." Qin Song was stunned, today is Concubine Qi's birthday?

She secretly pulled Zhou Tianyi's sleeve, her eyes were anxious, and she said in a suppressed voice: "Why didn't you tell me that today is your mother's birthday?" "She didn't have a special gift!

Zhou Tianyi quietly pointed at himself, probably saying that it was enough for him to prepare one. This...... Can it be the same?

"He'er has a heart, this palace called you here just to have a reunion dinner, why do you want to prepare gifts." Concubine Qi smiled and nodded, and Lily of the Valley immediately understood, and stepped forward to take the book in Zhou Tianhe's hand.

"Mother, my son also has good things for you." Zhou Tianyi also took out two small boxes from his sleeves at the right time,

"This is a newly developed plaything in the army, if you are idle in the palace, you can throw it away and play with it."

"Yi'er always sends these weird things, let them go, it's time to eat." The dishes were served on the round table one by one, Concubine Qi straightened up and was about to stand up, Qin Song on the side immediately stepped forward and supported steadily, Concubine Qi turned her head sideways without a trace, smiled with satisfaction, and then opened the topic: "Mu'er, this child is really, the gift has been delivered, but the person has not returned." said that she met a girl who was familiar with pharmacology, and she prepared a few prescriptions of beauty and cosmetics for the old woman in this palace. ”

"Mother said with a smile, you have never been old." Zhou Tianyi also stepped forward and stood on the other side to support Concubine Qi.

"Concubine Qi, the folk girl has also prepared a small gift, I hope you will see it." Qin Song opened the columnar wooden box in his hand and presented it in front of Concubine Qi, with a plum blossom hairpin in the box, an ebony hairpin body, and a red carved plum, lifelike.

She suddenly remembered that she had brought such a small thing, which was originally intended as a gift for Princess Changping's banquet, but she really brought it right.

"This palace has always loved Hanmei, and the Qin family girl bothered." Concubine Qi was overjoyed, and immediately put the hairpin in her hair and tried it, the more she looked at it, the more she liked it, took Qin Song's hand and took her to the round table, and beckoned the others: "Come on, come on, don't stand, sit down, the meal is going to be cold." Although a few people sat around the round table, they were not as happy as they imagined, and Concubine Qi had always been smiling and had never changed.

Qin Song glanced at Zhou Tianyi suspiciously, and the person who was focused on eating gave her a smile back, and told her not to ask more with his eyes, so Qin Song bowed his head to eat in peace.

After eating and sitting down, Zhou Tianhe spoke: "Tianyi, the matter of military power ......" Zhou Tianyi smiled a little helplessly, waved his hand and said: "I said that day, the third brother doesn't need to mind, no matter who the military power is, it is in the hands of his own family." ”

"But, after all, this is a soldier who has been with you for so many years, and it is always bad for me and me to be like this." A trace of worry flashed in Zhou Tianhe's eyes, and he shook his head and sighed: "I think it's better to find a chance to let the imperial brother return the soldiers and horses to you, Tianyi, you are a natural general." ”

"Third brother, I am willing to lose the bet, you know that my brother is not that kind of person, third brother and rest assured, I will repair a letter and send it to the camp when I return home, and tell the generals and soldiers of the transfer of military power." Qin Song, who was sitting next to Zhou Tianyi, frowned slightly, how could this back-and-forth conversation sound a little wrong...... His Royal Highness King Ping seems to be apologizing for winning Zhou Tianyi at the last palace banquet and taking away his military power, but it turned out that the Northwest Army was dissatisfied with the change of commander, and Zhou Tianyi came forward to appease the emperor's army?

Qin Song secretly glanced at Zhou Tianyi, his expression was as usual, and then at Zhou Tianhe, he was also smiling like a spring breeze, she was startled, and suddenly understood something, could this be King Ping's strategy?

Looking sideways at Zhou Tianyi again, she sighed in her heart that King Zhao, who had infinite scenery, was in such a difficult situation.

"Okay, don't talk about the affairs of the court in the Hanyao Hall of the main palace, so as not to provoke criticism." Concubine Qi opened one eye and closed one eye, and said lazily,

"Haichao, you have been married to He'er for two years, when are you going to add a grandson to this palace?" was suddenly named, Huang Haichao lowered his eyes and replied: "Mother concubine ......"

"Mother, this matter is urgent." Zhou Tianhe snatched Huang Haichao's words and replied,

"The imperial brother is on the throne, the dynasty is unstable, and now I need Haichao to take care of me more, it's already hard for her."

"You are a ...... who loves your daughter-in-law" The next words, Concubine Qi did not say any more, glanced meaningfully at Huang Haichao, who lowered her head, then changed her direction to look at Qin Song, and asked with a smile: "Qin family girl, what do you think of Yi'er?" ”
