Chapter 9: King Qi (I)
"Don't worry, I'm going to see my aunt," Jiang Mengyun put away all the papers recorded, and thought of something, "You...... Anything else to say? ”
Duo'er snorted coldly and didn't speak.
Jiang Mengyun said at this time: "That Bing'er, we won't touch her for the time being, your business, I will also find a way to suppress the wind." Just now I have asked the imperial dining room to prepare a good meal on the table, which coincides with today's banquet in the palace, and there is still some time, so the girl should enjoy it as soon as possible. ”
With that, she turned and left.
Duo'er pursed her lips tightly, her expression complicated, but she didn't say a word.
The palace people who were guarding were completely immersed in Jiang Mengyun's personal charm at this time, although they didn't understand what they were talking about, they also knew that it was definitely a good thing that Duo'er's hard stubble was taken down.
When the people in the imperial dining room brought good wine and food, they did not stop them.
The movement here, Queen Xue got the news almost at the same time.
Her mood swept away the gloom in an instant, and even her face looked much better when she was busy celebrating the second prince.
The enemy country ambushed her, this is a big deal, not to mention this slut who has discredited the prince and caused her to lose face.
If it weren't for the imminent banquet in the palace, Queen Xue really hated to go and humiliate her again right now to vent her anger.
Jiang Mengyun came quickly, and not long after Queen Xue got the news here, she also arrived in plain clothes over there.
She behaved elegantly and with a respectful attitude: "Auntie, Mengyun is fortunate not to be dishonored." ”
The next details will naturally not be discussed in detail until the banquet is over, although Queen Xue is itching, she has to hold her mind and press not to mention it.
She was very satisfied and relieved, but she could still calm down in the end, but she was in a good mood after all, so she said two more words than usual.
"Although you have entered the palace a few years ago, this is the first time you have participated in such a banquet, and the palace has arranged you and several princesses together. By the way, Prince Li and Prince Rui are also coming today, and you haven't seen them since you returned to Daliang, have you? ”
Unconsciously, the tone of Queen Xue's conversation with her has changed, and she has always been "into my beam" before, but now it has become "back to my beam".
Although it is only a small difference in words, it can be seen that at least at this moment, she has been accepted.
But she knows this Prince Rui, Prince Keli?
She thought quickly in her mind, and soon matched the person to the number, but there was no show on her face: "Yes, I haven't seen it yet." ”
In fact, the titles of the princes of the Great Liang Kingdom are fixed, Li, Rui, Gong, Yi, Yu, Su, Zheng, Zhuang, hereditary replacement, since the founding of the Great Liang State, these eight titles of the prince are not one hundred but also eighty, and Prince Li, as the head of the eight kings, there are more than a dozen.
The rules inherited by the ancestors did not feel that there was anything wrong with them in the past, but who knew that in today's generation of saints, there are many rights and wrongs.
Daliang is located in the north, most of the men are big men, and the women are also quite strong and rugged, in general, there is no advantage in appearance.
Although a group of beauties will be recruited in the palace every four years, because the quality of the beauties themselves is limited, they have multiplied so far, and the appearance of the Daliang royal family can only be regarded as beautiful, and it is by no means good-looking.
But among such a group of ordinary-looking people, people like King Qi were born.
The surname of Daliang is Mo, the name of King Qi is Zhan, the word Qi, Prince Laoli died a few years ago, and as the son of the world, he inherited the title of prince, and the title remains unchanged.
But this Prince Li is really a first-class figure in the world, even if Jiang Mengyun is far away in Ningguo, he has heard a lot of legends about him.
Unlike those Liang people who only know how to shout and kill, this Mozi Qi is very handsome and elegant, and his temper is extremely gentle and square.
He is well-versed in the past and the present, full of economy, proficient in piano, chess, calligraphy and painting, especially the song "Looking at the Rain and Listening to the River", which has become a necessary repertoire for exchanges between celebrities and scholars.
It is said that literati are inferior to each other and jealous of beauty, but the world's talented people still respect Moziqi very much.
Jiang Mengyun remembered that when he was in Ningguo, he had heard someone play his song, which was indeed like a heavenly sound, with lingering sounds, enduring, and a superb sound.
In such a troubled era, there are many heroes, and it is really difficult for an enemy prince to rely on his talent to be so praised by everyone.
Because of this, Xu Yi's status in Daliang is extraordinary, although he is an idle prince, he has great appeal.
The fixed model of the title of "Prince Li" has also been criticized, and they all feel that this stereotyped title cannot represent him at all, so they are all replaced by "King Qi", and the title of Prince Nali is rarely used.
Empress Xue smiled, and after a while, she asked inadvertently, "Do you know Prince Li?" ”
This attitude seems to be close but is actually distant, and he refuses to mention the word "King Qi", and the relationship here is probably a little delicate.
was thinking about how to answer, but she said to herself: "Our Prince Li, like you, also has half of the blood of Ning Guo in his body. He's famous, you should have heard of it. ”
Empress Xue paused for a moment before she asked again: "Is that the King of Qi that everyone called, have you heard of it?" ”
She doesn't mention it, she doesn't ask, she says it explicitly, and she doesn't have to hide it.
Jiang Mengyun bowed his head and said, "Yes, I have heard it for a long time, and it is like thunder." It is said that King Qi is a fairy-like figure, and he used to be far away in Ningguo, but he never expected to have the opportunity to meet him in his lifetime, which is really an honor. ”
After opening his mouth, Jiang Mengyun didn't mind saying a few more words: "Aunt probably doesn't know, my mother admired King Qi very much before her death, saying that a talent like him is a real young talent, because my mother likes it, my father asked someone to receive a painting from nowhere a few years ago, saying that it was written by King Qi himself, and I don't know whether it's true or not." ”
"Written by King Qi himself?"
When Empress Xue heard this, a trace of sarcasm flashed in her eyes, but she smiled on her face: "Your father must have been deceived, how rare is King Qi's own handwriting, even the emperor hasn't seen a few copies here, let alone your father?" ”
"Yes," Jiang Mengyun still smiled, but he didn't know the connection, "Father is just straighter, and no one in the world will lie to him, so he kept the painting as a treasure, he led the troops to the expedition before, for fear that he and his two brothers would have something to do, and he handed it over to me cautiously." ”
Jiang Mengyun continued: "I said I wanted to be an heirloom!" ”
As soon as these words came out, Empress Xue was almost amused to laugh.
But at this moment, after all, she was in public, she still had to pay attention to her identity, so she could only hold back a snort, pulling the corners of her mouth and said: "You can be funny, how can anyone make fun of her father like this." ”
Because it was some homely chatter, Empress Xue couldn't help but have a little intimacy in her tone, it stands to reason that Jiang Mengyun should say something anyway, but this time, she didn't respond, just lowered her head, and her expression was a little stunned.
