Chapter 403: Nine Thousand Years Old (8)
The merman caught for Wan Guifei?
yes, how could she forget.
The afterglow of the twilight shines through the lattice and sprinkles on the side of Maki Qi, so that she is half hidden in the light and shadow, and half is shrouded in the glow.
She was silent for a long time, and he didn't look at her.
After a long time, Ying Qi suddenly loosened the tight handkerchief, chuckled, and stood up lazily: "Father-in-law, let's rest." With that, she refused to look at him again, and turned to leave the house.
Ji Pingsheng's eyes were lowered, his hands were clenched into fists, and there was a chill all over his body.
The previous assassins were all caught, but as soon as General He caught them, those assassins committed suicide by poisoning.
The poison was pressed under the tongue, and before General He could find out, the person died in front of him.
I didn't ask anything.
He Yiqing knelt on the ground and pleaded guilty: "It's the subordinates who are not doing well, and I hope the master will punish him." ”
Ji Pingsheng looked at the cross scar on his wrist with a slightly stunned gaze, and after a moment, he said lightly: "Go down and get ten whips." ”
"Thank you for the punishment."
After He Yiqing went out, he returned to the room, and after a while, the sound of whips cutting through the air sounded in the room, and in addition, a muffled snort could be faintly heard.
Since then, Ying Qi has never taken the initiative to see Ji Pingsheng, and many people have secretly sighed, this merman is really a white-eyed wolf, and Ji's father-in-law almost died in order to save her, she only went to see it once.
"After all, it's just a brute, even if you transform into a human form, you're still a brute in your bones."
"Hey, thing in the sea, do you expect her to know what it means to be grateful?"
Such words, even if Ying Qi lived in a simple place, she still heard a little, and she only sneered when she heard it.
Thanksgiving?
It is clear that Ji Pingsheng himself has also benefited from it, if something happens to her, Ji Pingsheng will inevitably be accused of being unfavorable to Emperor Yanhe.
Not to mention the manpower, material and financial resources spent by the sea in the past year.
The fold of the Yushitai, just waiting for Ji Pingsheng to have an accident, will be handed over like a snowflake.
He's just for himself.
Due to Ji Pingsheng's injury, he was delayed in the inn for a few days, and then when he hurried, his speed slowed down, and after that, He Yiqing strengthened the surrounding security.
After walking on the road for half a year, almost everywhere I went, the local officials almost all came to greet him, and it was a big battle.
I don't know, I thought it was Emperor Yanhe who went out on patrol.
However, there are also some officials who disdain eunuchs, and the biggest move, Sun Guangyu, the feudal official of Zhejiang, said that he was inviting Ji Pingsheng and his party to receive the wind and wash the dust, but the banquet was coarse tea and light rice.
The eating habit of banquets in the court is a separate meal system.
On the table in front of each person were three nests, a stack of pickles, and a bowl of corn paste.
"A few days ago, it rained in the city for days, so that the embankment was washed away, and the flood was raging, and the Holy Majesty ordered me to provide relief, and the food in the city was already distributed to the people a few days ago, so I neglected my father-in-law, and I hope my father-in-law will forgive me." Sun Guangyu looked at Ji Pingsheng with a smile.
The corners of Ji Pingsheng's lips raised a smile that was not deep or shallow: "It's okay, Lord Sun loves the people like a son, which is the blessing of the Great Zhou and the blessing of the saints." ”
Sun Guangyu was stunned for a moment, and then laughed twice: "Father-in-law Haihan." ”
After a temporary rest, Ji Pingsheng ordered to set off again.
Sun Guangyu watched Ji Pingsheng's team slowly drive away from Hangzhou City, and the officials below said in a low voice: "This father-in-law Ji looks different from the rumors. ”
Sun Guangyu's eyes were complicated, his fingers folded lightly, and he quietly twisted his sleeves.
The team that went to sea finally arrived at the gate of the capital at the beginning of September, and before that, Ji Pingsheng had already sent a letter into the palace.
Therefore, when they arrived at the gates, they were already waiting there.
It was Concubine Wan's brother Dingguo Gong, who was here to welcome Ji Pingsheng back to Beijing.
"Congratulations to my father-in-law on his triumph." Dingguo Gong is only twenty-eight or nine years old, and he is righteous between his eyebrows, but there are countless women who have died between his beds.
If it is said that Quan Gelding has some torture methods in the bed, because there is something missing, then Dingguo Gong is purely out of interest.
Ji Pingsheng smiled and exchanged a few words with Dingguo Gong, and the two rode into Beijing together.
After entering the city, Dingguo Gong entered the palace to make a mistake, and Ji Pingsheng had to go back to the house to straighten out his clothes before he could enter the palace to face the saint.
Naturally, Ying Qi followed him back to the house.
What surprised her was that she saw the battles she had seen along the way, and she saw Ji Pingsheng's power more or less, and she thought that his mansion would be magnificent, but as soon as she entered the mansion, she walked around it in less than a quarter of an hour.
Ji Pingsheng asked people to place her in the mansion, and then she entered the palace by herself.
Ying Qi also knew that she could only enter the palace if she had an order from Emperor Yanhe.
In the evening, before Ji Pingsheng came back, the rewards in the palace were carried into the mansion in a steady stream, and Ying Qi listened to the movement, and it was actually carried for half an hour.
Around the end of the day, Ji Pingsheng came back from the palace.
He came to the seventh room and said through the window, "Three days later, there will be a banquet on the Holy Heavens." ”
Emperor Yanhe held a banquet three days later, that is, she was asked to show up at the banquet, after all, the merman is a rarity.
Ju Qi agreed lightly and did not speak.
Ji Pingsheng's thin lips pursed, and he stood by the window for a long time before turning around and leaving.
The three-day period was fast approaching.
The palace was brightly lit, the palace where the banquet was held, and the ministers said a lot of auspicious words, except for flattering Ji Pingsheng, it was something like God bless Da Zhou.
Emperor Yanhe smiled when he heard this, Wan Wenyi picked up the wine glass and sent it to Emperor Yanhe with a smile.
Emperor Yanhe looked at Wan Wenyi with a smile, and in Wan Wenyi's low exclamation, he took her into his arms.
The courtiers had long been surprised by this.
On the occasion of the third round of drinking, Ji Pingsheng slowly got up and walked to the hall and arched his hand: "Ji does not dishonor the holy order, captures the South China Sea shark alive, and dedicates it to the saint and Niangniang." ”
Emperor Yanhe was frolicking with Wan Wenyi, and when he heard Ji Pingsheng's words, he stopped.
He sat in front of the desk with a golden knife, hugged Wan Wenyi by his side, and laughed twice: "Bring it in, and show it to Concubine Ai." As he spoke, he suddenly lowered his head and bit lightly on Wan Wenyi's small earlobe.
"I helped you catch the mermaid in the South China Sea this time, how are you going to thank me?"
Wan Wenyi smiled charmingly, and pushed Emperor Yanhe's chest in a reluctant manner: "Didn't I thank you last night, the saint is insatiable." ”
Emperor Yanhe was not annoyed, but tightened Wan Wenyi's body towards him, and said with a smile: "I am insatiable, don't you like it too?" ”
The ministers below spoke as if they hadn't seen it, holding wine glasses and talking left and right.
At this moment, a stunning woman slowly walked in outside the hall, only to see her wearing a moon-white silk, on the hall as bright as day, overflowing with colorful streamers.
Three thousand cyan was curled up by a hosta, and when he lowered his eyes slightly, two strands of broken hair were scattered on his sideburns, which was clearly cold, and it also made people feel full of amorousness.
From the moment Yu Qi appeared, there was an eerie silence in the hall.
Emperor Yanhe looked at the beautiful woman in the palace with a worried gaze, and held Wan Guifei's hand, but he unconsciously let go.
