Chapter Fifty-Nine: Plotting to Fight Back

"My daughter obviously likes the King of Liyang, why does my mother have to ask me to marry the King of Fuling?"

"The king of Liyang has no heart, the king of Fuling has a heart, he has no heart to have a heart, who doesn't want to choose a good husband for his daughter."

"Your Majesty has other princes, why do you choose the king of Fuling. Daughters don't marry, don't marry! ”

Princess Qi sighed: "King Fuling is not a thing in the pool, and there is the eldest princess planning for him, in the future, he will be above the king of Liyang, and marry you to her, which is the future that my mother has painstakingly planned for you." I know you're not happy, but kid, you have to think about the future. The Xiao family is no better than twenty years ago, your eldest brother, you can't count on it; Your father, it is better to live than to die; Your second brother is a waste of martial arts. If it weren't for my mother's support for the past ten years, if it wasn't for my mother's early removal of the threat, how could our mothers have a peaceful birthday......"

When Liang Shi said that he was emotional, he almost felt sad, and he reluctantly pressed it down, and sighed: "Child, all hope is in you!" What's the use of children's affection! Isn't it enough to look at my mother's life! ”

"Even so, choosing King Fuling is also a good decision."

"Wrong! Who is the King of Fuling? His mother came from a family of the previous dynasty, and although the Lin family was wiped out, there are still personal debts saved by many generations. It's just that I don't dare to come forward for the time being. On the surface, King Fuling is not treated well by His Majesty, but it is expected that with the support of the eldest princess of Beijing and the former ministers of the Lin family, and the relationship between the hidden national teacher, it will not be bad. ”

Xiao Zhaoyun was silent.

"What's more, Your Majesty has been vacant for twenty years, why? Do you really have no father-son love for King Fuling? Taking a step back, because of his identity, King Fuling cannot pose a threat to other princes, at least he can be an idle king for a lifetime. Although the king of Liyang is favored, he is too sharp, the city is not enough, and there are too many enemies. What he is fighting for is just the grace of the concubine for many years, and the king's heart is unpredictable, and if he can't guarantee that one day, he will be the first to be brought down by the princes. ”

When Princess Qi said this, the county lord of Yishui felt three points weaker.

"Why did the king of Fuling agree to marry his daughter? Hasn't he been eye-to-eye with the one in Muyi Villa for a long time? ”

Princess Qi raised her forehead, not without pride: "Count him as King Fuling has vision." But whoever has great ambitions will marry my daughter. Child, don't underestimate your grandfather's house. I think back then, my father was the first general of the fresh people of this dynasty, and when he raised his arms, there were many fresh people in the world, and even Gaozu couldn't do it. As for him and that slut, the man is just playing on the spot, and I can't believe it. There is a mother, and you will not be wronged

。 ”

Xiao Zhaoyun's heart tightened a little.

"Mother, what conditions did you exchange with King Fuling?"

"I'll tell you later."

The lord of Yishui County was given the matter of marrying the king of Fuling, and the eldest princess of Wangjing was in charge, and she sent people in full swing to make a decision, as if she wanted to rush before something happened.

In addition to accepting the congratulations of the wives of various families in Beijing, Princess Qi also sent invitations to the magnates in Beijing with great fanfare, inviting everyone to have a meeting in the Qunyi Building and tell each other about important things.

King Liyang naturally also received an invitation from Princess Qi.

"What a nine! Beware of shooting yourself in the foot. King Liyang flipped through the invitation card and threw it down with a displeased face.

"My aunt and grandmother set the county lord of Yishui for Lao Jiu, and my father agreed. If you start fast enough, you underestimate him! "This bargaining chip is big enough, dare to promise marriage at this time, and even my aunt and grandmother are out of the horse.

"Tsk, the remnants of the flowers and willows, he also dares to sleep. I can't even give birth to a child, and the old nine will lose a lot......"

The breathing wind people of the Dao Qi Alliance stroked their gray beards and listened to the grumbling of the King of Liyang. King Fuling took the lead and won over Princess Qi first, but what was the use?

"King Qi is already a remnant of chess, whether to stay or remove, it is not yet known. King Fuling intervened at this time, which was tantamount to taking a hot potato, which could not be eaten or lost. This is too much to lose. ”

"Lao Jiu is cunning, what he values is not the King of Qi, but the blood of the Xian clan in Princess Qi, and the millions of Xian people in the world, and by the way, he will take the power in the army into his pocket."

"Your Highness doesn't need to worry too much, King Fuling is reckless and has a narrow vision, so he is expected to not be able to achieve great things. We just need to wait and see if Mu Yishan Zhuang wins, or whether Princess Qi is more skilled. According to the poor road, it will be a lose-lose situation, and the king of Fuling will not be able to bargain anywhere. ”

"It's a pity that the one in Muyi Villa, this king thought it was Lang Qing's concubine before, but now it seems that it is not Er'er."

"The one in Muyi Villa is not a good stubble. If His Royal Highness can bring her into the backyard, get her help, and make friends with the embroidered messenger and the hidden national teacher, wouldn't His Highness have another help? "The people of the Wind Road are whimsical.

"Forget it." King Liyang snorted twice, but he didn't even dare to think about it.

"Tomorrow, you go to the banquet and see what Princess Qi is doing."

"Your Royal Highness doesn't go to see it in person, I heard that Princess Qi also sent a post to the palace, and she came to the one from Muyi Villa. Your Highness, too, go and take a look. ”

"Princess Qi greeted the Jiang family, whether the third game was won or lost, this king wanted to see. I just don't know if she's going or not? ”

"It's about the Jiang family, and if you bet on it, Jiang Qi will be there."

Wang Yao of Liyang thought about the last time he saw Jiang Qi, and couldn't help but smile comfortably.

"If she goes, it will be fun."

A servant hurriedly came to report: "Your Highness, Jing Zhaoyin asked to see him, saying that he had received a secret report......

"Quick!"

Jing Zhaoyin walked in with frost and couldn't wait to report: "Your Highness, the disappearance of the noble girl in Beijing has already been revealed, and the lower officials have obtained a secret report, the matter is very important, and they dare not be specialized, so I have come to ask Your Highness for instructions." ”

"What's the secret?"

Jing Zhaoyin glanced at the Xifeng Daoist, and the king of Liyang said: "The Taoist is my right-hand man, and it doesn't hurt to listen." ”

Jing Zhaoyin and his entourage came together with the secret report and countermeasures.

King Liyang and Xifeng Daoren glanced at each other, and blurted out: "There will be a good show tomorrow." ”

Although the matter of King Fuling and Princess Qi's post has become hot news, Muyi Villa seems to have set up an enchantment, automatically blocking all the worldly red tape, and no one dares to come to disturb.

Only the king of Ding, who drove to visit in the dripping and freezing weather.

"Uncle, what's wrong?" The red charcoal fire burned out a room as warm as spring, Jiang Qi sat on the rocking chair as always, and there was a lonely cold tone in the snow skin and black hair.

"Yi'er hasn't returned for a long time, and my uncle misses him very much, so I took him back to live for a few days."

"Brother Tong didn't come?"

"Tong'er has been unwell for the past few days, and the snow is cold, so she didn't come." The frailty of the only son is a pain in Jiang Yinuo's heart.

"But does it matter?"

"It's okay, just raise it."

"Uncle, is there anything else going on at home?"

King Ding's face was as usual, and he said, "Everything is very good, if Qi'er has time, come and sit at home." ”

While speaking, Ban Yan led Jiang Yi over.

"Auntie, I'm going home." Jiang Yi reluctantly said goodbye.

"Go ahead."

The two ancestors and grandsons went hand in hand, and said goodbye and came out: "Apprentice, go back and practice hard, don't embarrass the master." I'm going to check it out when I get back. ”

Jiang Yi looked back obediently and bowed, and his grandson walked away.

"Silence, when will tomorrow's feast begin?"

"Unitary time."

"My uncle was afraid that I would be worried, so he refused to speak out. We'll take a trip tomorrow. ”

"Master, all right."

What the king feared was already under their control.

In the gray sky, snow and silence filled the ruts on the way back to the city. Jiang Yinuo clenched his grandson's cold red little hand, and felt sorry for it.

"It's cold, it's important to practice, don't freeze yourself."

"It's a little hard, it's not enough. Master Banyan said that if you want to become a master, you must 'practice three dogs in summer and three nines in winter', and my aunt came here like this. ”

"Yi'er, let's decide that the palace will depend on you in the future, are you terrible?"

"Don't be afraid. Grandfather, don't worry. I must practice hard, and no one will dare to bully us again. ”

Sun Er's immature words did not make Jiang Yinuo frown, but made his heart heavier and heavier along the way.

"Kid, our family is in trouble again. Tomorrow someone will set up a big feast and invite powerful people from all over the city to make trouble. Our grandparents are going to go for a walk. ”

"Who's going to make trouble?" In the child's black and white eyes, there was more angry responsibility.

"Princess Qi." It was after receiving the invitation from Princess Qi that he took his grandson back from Muyi Villa.

"Why didn't you tell your aunt? If my aunt knew, wouldn't it be less troublesome? ”

Qi Wang Xiao and Jiang Qi have a grudge, Jiang Yi has heard of it. Master Banyan was gearing up all day long, nagging that he should have cured them a long time ago, and if it was her, he would have beaten his whole family into waste, and then walked away, so that they couldn't find it.

"Child, your aunt will be gone one day, and you can't rely on her for everything. What we should face cannot be escaped. Remember, the Jiang family can't be afraid. ”

Even if he couldn't do it and knew that there would be a difficulty, he still only said that he missed his grandson in the face of Jiang Qi, and didn't mention the matter of going to the banquet.

The wind and snow are constantly in trouble, even if it is a sea of swords and fires, he wants to go for a while. This is the responsibility of Jiang Yinuo.

Princess Qi held a banquet in the Qunyi Building. The protagonist of the banquet is the Dingwang Mansion. The post went directly to the Jiang family, and the wealthy families in Ruian City were also invited at the same time.

There is no good feast. Everyone knows that Princess Qi can't afford to provoke Muyi Villa, and the plaque given by Gaozu is hanging at the door, and she has to salute when she goes. Not to mention another thing that even royalty fears. Even if she is not afraid of anything, if she comes to the door, people may not pay attention to her.

Therefore, persimmons pick soft pinching, and it is a good move to start from the Jiang family. I just don't know what bargaining chips this Qi princess has, and she dared to invite all the nobles of Dawei to watch with such fanfare.

On this day, Princess Qi was dressed in a ring ornament, with towering sideburns, thick red lips and exaggerated raised eyebrows, revealing vigorous aggression. Although he is over forty years old, he is still full of light and can't take his eyes off it.

There are not only the softness and dignity of a southerner woman, but also the sharpness and vigor of a northerner woman, with a broad skeleton but not strong, and a thin body that adds softness. is worthy of the title of the first beauty of the Xian tribe that year. It is no wonder that when King Qi was young, he chose to give up his relationship with the royal family and instead marry the Xian clan.

Looking at the king of Qi who came hand in hand with the princess, under the crown of Huazhang, the figure is tall and straight, burly and strong, and the martial arts practice for many years has avoided the old fat and bloated, and the handsome and majestic kingly spirit covers up the tiredness of the color, compared with the young people present, more calm and healthy, less impetuous and frivolous.
