Hearing that Qi Zhao was no longer entangled in the issue of bamboo shoots and ginkgo seeds, obviously he didn't mean to frame himself, Mingyue couldn't help but breathe a long sigh of relief, if it was about flowers and fish, Mingyue was a hundred and twenty hearts.

The base number of fish is nine hundred and ninety-nine, which is a fixed number of nine poles, that is to say, it symbolizes the number of poles of the ninety-five supreme, even if there are dead, do eunuchs dare to say less? Isn't it a royal taboo? The people in this palace, even the eunuchs are the best among the people, and they will not be stupid;

Even if you encounter a fool, the base of this fish is checked in the spring, this pond is carefully raised, the fish food is sufficient, the temperature is moderate, there must be reproduction, only more than nine hundred and ninety-nine, less chance is almost impossible;

And the flowers are only more, not less.

At the beginning of the month, fifty-one pots, one hundred and ten pots with buds, now it is the middle of the month, even if the fifty-one pots counted at the beginning of the month have all passed the flowering period, half of the one hundred and ten pots with buds will bloom, and it is close to the end of the year, the royal picture is a jubilant color, and the gardeners want to break their heads will also make the stubborn stone nod and let the flowers bloom.

Seeing that Mingyue was so calm, Qi Zhao was looking forward to this result in his heart, and there was a kind of real energy that did not admit defeat.

Flowers are better than fish, the little eunuch ran back to reply first, as expected, there are one hundred and twenty pots of flowers in full bloom, most of them are blooming, and there are those that have not fallen because of the long flowering period.

Mingyue looked at Qi Heng sideways, and winked her right eye at the little radish head, Qi Heng returned her right eye knowingly, and the two smiled understandingly.

The smile was so bright, it shone brighter than the midday sun here.

The momentum in Qi Zhao's heart that refused to admit defeat faded immediately, and he laughed and said: "Yin's, this fish pond can't be checked in a moment and a half, you name a reason, make sure it's nine hundred and ninety-nine, and I will spare you." ”

Mingyue's eyes rolled and said: "Long live the Lord to rule the world with benevolence and righteousness, the four seas are peaceful, the charm and the ghosts, scattered and fled, sheltering the people of Daqi to enjoy the prosperous world, all things can multiply, this fish is one of all things, naturally there is only the truth of more reproduction." ”

What do you mean by that? Don't say that Qi Zhao does not rule the world with benevolence and righteousness, even if he really rules the world with benevolence and righteousness, what does this long-lived lord's benevolence have to do with the cubs of the fish?

It's just that thousands of people don't wear sycophants, but these words are boasting in Qi Zhao's heart, and now the king is retreating, resisting stubbornly, and the day of victory is close at hand, which coincides with what Mingyue said, "The charm of the ghost, scattering and fleeing" coincides.

The people in the palace couldn't help but sigh in their hearts, this complete flattery was simply a master among the masters.

It was the first time Qi Zhao had heard such explicit and far-fetched flattery, so he couldn't help but turn his face sideways, hide a faint smile, as if he had just seen the queen, and said with a restrained expression: "I kindly put the Yin family in Kunning Palace, why are I hungry to eat my koi?" You've taken good care of you! Don't you have an opinion about my arrangement?! ”

The queen's eyebrows furrowed slightly, but she didn't speak for a long time.

Qi Zhao was faintly angry, Qi Heng was as anxious as an ant on a hot pot, and hurriedly glanced at Mingyue.

Mingyue wanted to pretend not to see it, but after all, the queen mother is Wei Zhixing's own sister, and no matter how bad she is to herself, she can be regarded as "her own person", Mingyue kowtowed heavily, desperately squeezed out a few tears and said: "Back to Long Live Lord, it's not that the queen doesn't give her food, but the people can't eat it." Thinking of the hometown parents in dire straits; Thinking of the fiancé's mediation and fierce battle with the enemy, life and death hanging by a thread, no matter how good the delicacy is, it will become untasteable. ”

Qi Zhao suddenly couldn't bear it anymore, and teased: "Then why did you eat the pastries given by Heng'er again?" ”

Mingyue's face was embarrassed, and her eyes flashed: "Given by the nobles, don't dare to resign, the people's daughter can't chill the prince's benevolent heart." In addition, the rise and fall of the world, the husband is responsible, the people's daughter wants to have a healthy body, if His Majesty is dressed again, the people's daughter is willing to stand by to go on the expedition, protect the family and defend the country......."

"What a 'rise and fall of the world, the husband is responsible'! Sure enough, it's my 'good' people! Qi Zhao laughed, as if it was even a little warmer in winter.

Qi Zhao's eyes were warm, he touched Heng'er's head, and said with rare intimacy: "Heng'er, even a peasant girl has such insights, you, the prince of the dynasty, not only have the responsibility of protecting the family and defending the country, but also have the ambition to expand the territory and help me promote the prestige of the Great Qi country!! ”

Heng'er's face turned red, and he gave a salute with a straight look, and replied: "Erchen remember the teachings of his father.......

Mingyue couldn't help but shake her head, it turns out that as soon as she sees Mingyue, the old man can become a young man; As soon as I saw Banzai, the little baby became old and pedantic.

Qi Zhao picked up the paper kite on the table, looked at Mingyue and said: "This imperial city is not allowed to release paper kites that can fly, and you can't even raise pigeons, you seem to be making mistakes all the time." ”

Mingyue looked at Qi Heng in astonishment, Qi Heng was also at a loss, obviously not knowing about it, and the queen mother, with no waves on her face, always looked like she was wearing a mask.

Isn't it another excuse to bluff yourself?

Seeing the suspicion in Mingyue's eyes, Qi Zhao rarely opened his mouth to explain: "A prince in the previous dynasty became a crippled person because of a paper kite. ”

After hearing this, it was the queen who was stunned, she raised her eyes and looked at Qi Zhao's face, and her lines softened a lot.

Mingyue nodded, it turned out that this high-ranking figure also had his own flesh and blood affection, Mingyue seemed to remember something, bit her lip, and said for a long time: "Long live Lord, Cheng Yue, the prisoner who was with the people's daughter that day, is the godfather of the people's daughter, and he was seriously injured when he returned to Dali Temple, I don't know what happened now?" ”

Qi Zhao's face suddenly became gloomy, where could the queen mother still take care of the number of courtesies, walked in front of Mingyue, and slapped Mingyue twice in a row, so that Mingyue's eyes were full of gold stars, and she fell to the ground at once, only to hear the queen mother's angry reprimand: "Be bold and make a fool of the people!" I don't know how thick the sky is!! Your Majesty has forgiven you for your sins and given you great grace, but you still have to make an inch?! ”

Mingyue also came to the axis, wiped the blood line at the corner of her mouth, still stared at Qi Zhao's eyes, and asked stubbornly: "Long live the lord, filial piety comes first, Mingyue has been pardoned by His Majesty, this kind of kindness is remembered, just a woman, if you don't care about the whereabouts of your godfather, this is a big unfilial piety!" ”

The queen was so angry that her teeth itched, and she ordered the two eunuchs to step forward and leave with Mingyue.

Qi Zhao waved his hand, the two eunuchs let go, and Mingyue fell on the bluestone platform, grinning in pain, but her eyes were still staring at Qi Zhao, as if she was going to shoot into his heart.

Qi Zhao's face was as usual, as if Mingyue's words did not touch the slightest emotion of him, there was no anger, and there was no pity, but he replied indifferently: "He, naturally, went where he should go." ”

Mingyue suddenly collapsed on the ground, her heart was as uncomfortable as turning over the river and the sea, what does this master mean? Went where he was supposed to go? Was it killed by those assassins who came out of nowhere? Are those who are the kings? Or the emperor's man? Everything is confusing.

Mingyue's mood sank suddenly, and her eyes were as red as the last red light of the sunset, low and hopeless.

Qi Zhao showed a trace of unbearability, and said to the queen: "The hot pot newly developed by the imperial kitchen some time ago is good, let's eat in Kunning Palace tonight, Yin's, let's go together." ”

A glimmer of suspicion flashed in the queen's eyes, and she still gave a meticulous gift.

The emperor returned to the Heart Cultivation Palace, leaving only the people of Kunning Palace, whose atmosphere had been at a high level of tension.

The queen looked at Mingyue and was a little annoyed, but seeing that Mingyue was unable to give up because she didn't know whether Cheng Yue was dead or alive, she didn't want to be harsh, so she just said to Mama Zhou behind her with a straight face: "Release Xia Lan, turn the blame for the crime, and look at the master who caused trouble." ”

Mama Zhou replied "No", and ordered someone to escort Mingyue back to Kunning Palace.

Qi Heng hurriedly ran to the queen mother, and gave a respectful salute: "Queen mother, the Yin family just cares about her relatives for a while, the queen mother should not punish her for being hungry again, and she should not be punished again, and my uncle will return to Beijing soon, Mo will chill his heart, and he will be separated from you and me." ”

Qi Hengshi's etiquette is decent, not much at all, not much at all, where is there still the appearance of the happy little boy before? Where is the daily dialogue between an intimate mother and child?

Only from the anxious look in his eyes can he see that a little baby is different from the heart of an adult.

The queen raised her eyebrows, and forcibly suppressed her anger and said: "Heng'er has really grown up, and she is bold, and she dares to plead with your father for a little peasant girl?" If it weren't for the great victory in the war ahead, your father would be in a happy mood, and it would inevitably be reprimanded again. ”

The queen no longer paid attention to Qi Heng, who was still stubborn, but turned her face to Qiu Gong and said fairly: "Order someone to take down this paper kite and burn it, and in addition, all the eunuchs and palace maids who are serving the prince today have each received twenty canes to see blood." ”

Mingyue hurriedly knelt down and said, "Queen Mother, this matter is all caused by Mingyue alone, don't blame others." If you want to beat, you have to punish me, Yin Mingyue will bear it. ”

The queen smiled contemptuously and said disdainfully: "Bear? When have you ever taken on it? In order to save you, Zhixing was devoured by the test of poison, his arms were full of holes, and his legs could not walk for more than a month; is also to save you, Zhixing was born as a scholar, but he fought with King Lu for more than a month, and he worked hard and was on the line of life and death. And you? What was done? False pregnancy? Anger the Emperor? ”

Mingyue was choked and speechless, the previous charges hit the nail on the head, as if Wei Zhixing was unlucky after he knew himself; It's just that she "provoked the emperor's anger" and admitted it herself, when did this "fake pregnancy" happen?

Mingyue thought about it for a long time, and finally remembered the accumulated food some time ago, and when she wanted to explain it again, the queen mother had already brushed her sleeves away.

Seeing that Qi Heng still looked worried, Mingyue touched the little guy's head and said with a smile: "Don't worry about me, your mother is a knife-mouthed tofu heart, and she just slapped me because she was afraid that your father would blame me; Even if you want to punish me, your father will come to Kunning Palace for dinner later, and let me participate by name, will I still be hungry? Will there be any injuries on the body? Little fool, don't think about it anymore. ”

It was the first time that Qi Heng was called "little fool", and he couldn't help frowning, then he relaxed again, nodded heavily, and remembered the burned paper kite again, and his little face drooped again.

Mingyue comforted: "Don't feel sorry for the paper kite, you can't fly in the sky, but you can run on the ground, and you can swim in the water, I was born in the folk, grew up in the folk, I am a master among the masters, and there are countless fun things that can be done, as long as you eat enough esophagus, I guarantee that the fun is enough." ”

Qi Heng finally had a slight smile, put his mouth to Mingyue's ear and whispered: "This prince is the son of his father, and he knows his father's temperament best, according to this prince's reasoning, if your father doesn't directly say 'die', your godfather will be very likely to live." ”

Qi Heng straightened up, straightened his face, and walked back to Tai* with an old step.
