Chapter 553: Sword Dance
Jiang Youjing lowered his head and pondered for a long time, not knowing where his next move should fall, so he simply didn't bother to think about it, raised his head and asked, "What's the news from the lazy girl again?" ”
"I'm afraid Qi Xiangtian will be unfavorable to the emperor." Qi Junqing looked at the news from Youlan, the words that Qi Xiangtian gave to Youlan. Although it was a reassuring word, there seemed to be a hint of his imperative victory for the throne in the words. And he seems to be convinced that it won't be long before he ascends the throne as emperor.
But so far, the emperor is not seriously ill, and his body is still in the prime of life, so it is impossible to automatically abdicate and ascend the throne.
Unless he was forced, or he was drugged, which caused his body to weaken and had to abdicate.
Qi Junqing handed the note to Jiang Youjing, "Guess what path he will choose." ”
Jiang Youjing took the note, looked down, and thought of Qi Junqing's thoughts in her mind, but she thought about it relatively simply, so she replied casually, "Maybe it's assassination." ”
"Lord, princess, the meal is ready." Xi'er stood outside and knocked on the door.
The two of them talked about it as they walked over to the table. On the table, closer to Jiang Hejing, there is a steamed sea bass that she likes more on weekdays.
Qi Junqing, as usual, sandwiched the fish meat in the bowl, and after picking out all the thorns in it for others, he handed it to Jiang Youjing.
She picked up her chopsticks and grabbed a piece of fish, but when she was about to eat it, she felt that it was unbearably fishy, so she dropped the chopsticks and retched to the side.
"Yu Jing, what's wrong! Tell the Imperial Doctor! Qi Junqing was taken aback, hurriedly got up and walked to Jiang Youjing's side, caressing the person's back with one hand and patting the person's chest with the other.
"No, it's okay, it's just this fish that makes me feel fishy." Jiang Youjing shook his head and was about to straighten up, when he smelled the smell of the fish and couldn't help but lean over and retch.
"Quick! What about the doctor! Qi Junqing was worried, "Bring a cup of warm water and remove all the dishes!" ”
The subordinates were also panicked when they saw this, and at this time, several people hurriedly brought the dishes down, and Xi'er poured a glass of warm water and handed it over.
Jiang Youjing stretched out his hand to take it, sipping slightly, and then felt better. She smiled and shook her head, "It's okay, don't worry." ”
Qi Junqing was relieved to see that Jiang Youjing's face was better, but he was still a little worried. So he pulled out a stool and sat down beside the person, holding one of the person's hands and looking at the person worriedly.
On the other side, the imperial doctor heard that Princess Ruxian had an accident, and was hurriedly taken by Li Lang to the palace. When he entered the hall, he saw that the princess looked normal, so he glanced at Li Lang suspiciously, then walked in and saluted, "I've seen the princess, the princess." ”
"Imperial Doctor, come and see, what's wrong with the princess!" Qi Junqing didn't care about etiquette at this time, so he hurriedly got up and pulled the imperial doctor to Jiang Youjing's side.
"Let Lao Chen take a look at the pulse." When the imperial doctor saw the hurried appearance of King Ruxian, who had always behaved in a hurry, he also believed what Li Lang said. So after taking the pulse, he couldn't help frowning and changed his hand again.
The Imperial Physician withdrew his hand and twisted his beard thoughtfully.
Qi Junqing, who was waiting on the side, saw this, his heart was in turmoil, and he hurriedly asked, "What's going on?" ”
"Congratulations to the prince, congratulations to the prince. The princess is happy. The imperial doctor calmly arched his hand towards Qi Junqing, and then took a pen and wrote down a few tocolytic pills and handed them over.
Qi Junqing's face was at a loss, and even the matter of rewarding the imperial doctor was handled by Jiang Hejing. After he heard this, he sat opposite Jiang Youjing with a blank face, and touched Jiang Youjing's abdomen with a trembling big hand, and said in disbelief, "This is, there is?" ”
"Yes." Jiang and Jing smiled and took someone's hand and patted him lightly.
Qi Junqing only reacted at this time, "I'm going to be a father!" ”
After Qi Junqing learned that he was going to become a father, he was even more careful with Jiang Youjing, and refused to let her walk by herself without even it, and insisted on helping herself.
"Junqing, I'm pregnant, not disabled!" Jiang Youjing knew that Qi Junqing was happy in his heart that the arrival of this little life would be like this, so he endured it for a few days. But I found that Qi Junqing had intensified, and she couldn't bear it even when she thought about carrying her for a trip in the past few days.
"Ahem, but the doctor said to be careful." Qi Junqing carefully supported the person, "Don't be angry, don't move the fetus." ”
"I want to get out! If you don't let me out, I'll be angry! Jiang Youjing's rare child's temper puffed out his mouth.
"Okay, okay, I'll take you out." Qi Junqing also knew at this time that he was overconcerned, and touched the tip of his nose. He was worried about Jiang Youjing's body, and naturally it was impossible for her to run into others on the street.
After thinking for a long time, Qi Junqing coaxed in a low voice, "Let's go on a boat trip to the lake to relax, how about it?" ”
Jiang Youjing glanced at people, naturally knowing Qi Junqing's considerations, but she just wanted to go out for a walk. I didn't want to be bored at home, and taking a boat was a good choice, so she nodded, "Okay." ”
Qi Junqing ordered people to prepare a small boat, and took Jiang and Jing to the side of the Hua River, and there was a small wooden boat parked by the river. Qi Junqing carefully helped Jiang Hejing onto the boat, and Jiang Bei, who was following Jiang Hejing, subconsciously wanted to follow. Qi Junqing turned around and blocked him directly, "No, I and You Jing can be on the boat again today." ”
Jiang Bei glanced at the person standing in front of him, and considered the possibility of beating him up and running away with the princess. Later, considering that the princess was pregnant with this person's child in her belly, he thought that he could not let the child be born without a father. So Jiang Bei persuaded himself not to deal with Qi Junqing, and advised, "Take care of her, or I will beat you!" ”
Qi Junqing snorted lightly, not planning to bother with this little brat. After all, today was the time he spent with his wife, and he didn't want to waste it on this child.
Jiang Youjing sat in the cabin, and when he heard the conversation between the two people outside, he couldn't help but cover his mouth and snicker.
When Qi Junqing came in, what he saw was Jiang Hejing sitting inside, his eyebrows and eyes crooked.
The two took the oars on one side and rowed the boat together to a bank of the Huajiang River.
Qi Junqing took the lead in going ashore and bent down to stretch out his hand.
"Poof, you're a little handsome." Jiang Youjing said half-jokingly and half-seriously, stretched out his hand and put it on Qi Junqing's hand, and with the strength of Qi Junqing's hand, he went ashore.
The two of them interlocked their fingers and walked in the peach forest, and this world is the time when the peach blossoms bloom. The breeze blows on your face, bringing a burst of peach fragrance. Jiang Youjing narrowed his eyes and leaned lazily on the person next to him, "When did you find this place?" ”
"Li Lang told me yesterday." Qi Junqing coughed lightly, he didn't tell Jiang Youjing. After I decided to take her out yesterday, I asked many old people in the house where there is a beautiful scenery in Kyoto with few people, and I happened to find this place.
The two walked for a long time, and Jiang Youjing's feet were a little sore, so they pretended to sit down. Qi Junqing had no choice but to see a stone bench, so he spread the cloth he brought on the stool, let people sit down, and put the warm pot and small pastries he brought in Jiang Youjing's arms.
"Yu Jing, but tired?" Qi Junqing stretched out his hand to wipe the beads of sweat from his forehead.
Jiang Youjing sat and rubbed his ankles, and complained, "Xu is lazy and hasn't come out for too long." This will go for a long time, and it will hurt a little bit. By the way, Junqing, I haven't seen you dance a sword for a long time. ”
"Dancing swords?" Qi Junqing paused, remembering that Jiang Youjing had reminded him to bring a sword in the morning. It turned out that he was waiting for him here, and he nodded helplessly, "Yes, I will show you the sword dance." ”
Qi Junqing had almost no objection to Jiang Youjing's request, and at this time, he took a few steps back directly and drew his sword.
In the peach forest, the pink petals danced with the wind, the gentleman danced the sword, and the sword had a sword aura on the sword, and the sword qi made those petals twist together, make a circle around and then flutter and dance.
The sword qi is white and vast, hidden in the pink petals, like a white hong, and the outside is decorated with infinite petals.
When the sword is collected, the petals fall with sprinkling. Qi Junqing tucked the sword into the scabbard at his waist, and he stood tall in the rain of flowers, making people unable to take their eyes off.
"I don't know how much this boy is worth, I bought it!" Jiang Youjing saw Qi Junqing walking towards him, and the same person blinked, and then looked like a splash.
Qi Junqing smiled helplessly and nodded the person's forehead and held the person in his arms. The two leaned on each other, watching the flowers falling in the forest, and felt their own emotions in their hearts.
"By the way, do you know when Qi Xiangtian will make a move?" Jiang Youjing suddenly thought of what Qi Junqing was busy with a few days ago.
"Not yet, don't worry, I'll arrange it." Qi Junqing patted the back of Jiang Youjing's hand and said in a low voice.
"Well, I believe you." Jiang Youjing nodded, she knew that she was pregnant, and Qi Junqing would not let herself think about anything else. So she didn't ask any more, and leaned lazily into Qi Junqing's arms. Enjoy the beautiful scenery in front of you and your own rare free time.
After returning home, Qi Junqing sent Jiang Hejing back to the room to rest and went to the study alone. He stretched out his hand to take the yellow calendar, and looked down to see that it was almost March 13.
"Master?" Li Lang saw Qi Junqing frowning and didn't speak for a long time, so he called in a low voice.
"Huh?" Qi Junqing came back to his senses, his fingertips lit on the March 13 Lantern Festival, and pondered, "You say, if Qi Xiangtian wants to do something to the emperor, when will it be?" ”
Li Lang pursed his lips and hesitated, but still blurted out the thoughts in his heart, "It must be when the emperor is outside, and there are many people." After all, in the palace, other means than poisoning are difficult to execute. ”
"Yes. Lots of people. Qi Junqing thought the same as Li Lang said, so he was subconsciously worried when he saw the Lantern Festival. Still hoping that the Lantern Festival would not become a blood-stained festival, he couldn't help but sigh. Then leaned back in the chair and rested with his eyes closed.
Seeing this, Li Lang didn't say much, quietly exited, closed the door for others, and stood at the door.
The next day, after the early dynasty, the emperor summoned Qi Junqing.
"In a few days, the Lantern Festival on March 13 will be held, and this year it will be up to you to arrange it." The emperor rubbed his forehead, obviously playing late with the beauty last night, and got up early in the morning, which caused him to be in a little poor spirit.
"Yes." Qi Junqing took the matter down, raised his eyes and glanced at the emperor carefully, but still withdrew without saying anything.
