Chapter 121: The Shache Mutiny
Although Prince Jiangbin was carried away by infatuation and forcibly took his younger brother Shi into custody, he did not force her to do anything he did not want to do. First, he really likes her, and he can't think about the future of the two of them for a while, and secondly, as the prince of Qiuzi, he still has to take care of the relationship between the two countries.
Before Wusun discovered the whereabouts of his younger brother, Jiangbin was full of hope that his younger brother would be moved by him, like him from the bottom of his heart, and be willing to marry him. So Jiangbin came to see her every day, played the flute for her, and found her a famous scroll to appreciate, in short, changing tricks to please her.
However, Brother Shi still ignores him, as if they had a grudge in their previous life, Brother Shi not only hates him, but also looks down on him from the bottom of his bones. If a person loves so selfishly and humbly, what else is worthy of respect, and it is natural that a person like him cannot get love, so why should she care about his feelings.
Chang Hui and Feng Yan told Liu Ye of the whereabouts of their younger brother, and after careful consideration, Liu Ye decided to write a letter to Queen Qiuzi first, hoping that the other party could consider his younger brother Shi and Jiang Bin from the position of a mother, and persuade Jiang Bin to give up the idea of persecuting his brother Shi. Wan Nian successfully arrived in the country of Shache, the old king did arrange everything for him, the grand welcome ceremony attracted a lot of attention, and the public announcement that he was the heir to the throne did not sound the voice of opposition, it can be seen that the old king did not lie.
Weng Guimi was invited to Shache Country to participate in the 10,000-year enthronement ceremony, if he tore his face with Qiuzi at such a time, I am afraid it would be difficult to end. Besides, King Qiuzi and Queen Guizi are anxious, and if they are forced to hurry, they are afraid that they will provoke another vicious fight.
Fortunately, not long after, Liu Ye received a reply from Queen Qiuci, who expressed her willingness to do her best to persuade Prince Jiangbin, and at the same time assured Liu Ye that Jiangbin would never do anything wrong to her until her brother nodded and agreed. After getting Queen Qiuzi's repeated assurances, Liu Ye finally put his mind at ease, and only waited for Wannian to sit on the throne, and after Weng Guimi returned, he decided how to deal with the affairs of his younger brother Shi and Jiangbin.
The enthronement ceremony ended successfully, although Liu Ye did not come to the scene in person, he was still very happy to receive the good news, and Weng Guimi would come back in a few days, and she planned to go to Qiuzi to talk to Jiangbin in person.
"Queen, it's not good, it's not good...... Qing Ling rushed in while shouting, and said with a panicked expression, "Yuan Guimi, this little guy has a fight with the herdsman's child, and he broke someone's head, the guards can't pull him, you go and take a look!" β
Liu Ye frowned slightly, quickly got up and ran out with Qing Ling, wondering, "What's going on?" Yuan'er has always been very obedient, why did he fight with others! β
"Who knows, but they are all children, and it is normal to fight, but those guards dare not persuade or pull, for fear of hurting him." Qing Ling pointed to the place where the herdsmen often gathered, "Well, that's it, I don't know why I quarreled, but fortunately, the adults didn't blame him......"
"When you see him fighting with others, you don't bring him back." Liu Ye heard the children's screams, and couldn't help but complain, "The guards don't dare to pull, don't you dare?" β
Qing Ling looked at her: "Yuan Guimi's little guy's temper is so big, you don't know, you see that he is usually silent, and he is ruthless like a stubborn cow, who can pull it back!" Besides, I was taking General Chang's child with me at the time, so I can't hold the child to persuade me! β
"I think this kid is too much to clean up, and he is so doting." Liu Ye saw Yuan Guimi riding on the child, waving his little fist and slapping people's faces back and forth, so angry that he rushed forward, grabbed Yuan Guimi's collar, and dragged him up.
Yuan Guimi's face was blue and purple, raised his fist high, and waved it still in defeat, shouting in his mouth: "Kill you, kill you, who told you to talk nonsense......"
"That's enough, stop!" Liu Ye shouted, Yuan Guimi finally came to his senses, shrunk his head to look back at her, and called timidly, "Queen Mother, ......"
Liu Ye let him down, leaned over and slapped the child who had been knocked to the ground, patted the dust off his body, and carefully examined the injuries on his face. Seeing this, the child's parents hurriedly knelt down to Liu Ye: "Queen, don't get in the way, don't get in the way, my child has rough skin and thick meat, it......'s okay to hit a few times."
"Get up, all of you!" Liu Ye shook his head and sighed softly, "Don't say that, they are all children raised by their parents, which is not their own baby, where can they afford to fight, I will tell you first that I can't help it, blame me for not teaching the child well." β
The child's parents were so anxious that they waved their hands back and forth: "I can't stand it, I can't stand it, don't say that, Queen, they are all children, it's normal to fight, what big deal can be!" You don't have to ask to know, my wild boy must have offended the little prince by saying bad things, otherwise, the little prince would not have lost his temper so much, that's right, it must be my wild boy's fault, the queen, you want to forgive your sins! β
"It's serious, the children are just fighting, how can you take it seriously, thank you for your tolerance. Ling'er, you take someone to send the child back and show him where he is injured. Liu Ye sent the injured child and the child's parents away, and turned to look at Yuan Guimi, who had his head down.
Yuan Guimi himself was also injured, but he didn't dare to defend himself, Liu Ye saw that there were large bruises in the corners of his eyes, and couldn't help but soften: "What happened?" Why would you want to fight with someone? β
"I, I ......" Yuan Guimi stared at his toes, twisting his fingers uneasily, "I don't know, I don't want to, I can't care about it when I'm angry......"
Liu Ye walked up to him, squatted down and patted him on the shoulder: "If you have something to say, just say it to the queen mother, the queen mother knows that you won't beat people for no reason." β
Yuan Guimi's eyes instantly turned red, and he pursed his lips and said aggrievedly: "He said that I am not the child of the queen mother, he said that my biological mother is a lowly woman, and I am not worthy of being the child of the father and the queen mother......"
Liu Ye was stunned, thinking to himself how could this kind of thing spread outside the palace, and said it from a child's mouth, it seems that this matter is already known to everyone.
"Don't listen to what others say, of course you are the child of your father and the queen mother." Liu Ye hugged Yuan Guimi into his arms and comforted him softly.
Yuan Guimi cried in her arms, and her little hands kept wiping her tears: "Queen Mother, am I really your child?" Did you pick it up somewhere else? β
Liu Ye wiped away the tears from his face for him, and laughed softly: "Little fool, if you weren't the queen mother's child, if you were so naughty like you, the queen mother wouldn't want you a long time ago." β
"Don't, the queen mother can't do without me......" Yuan Guimi reached out and hugged Liu Ye tightly, and his little head drilled into her arms, "Yuan'er don't separate from the queen mother......"
"Okay, then you have to listen to the queen mother from now on, don't fight with others anymore, the queen mother and father both like obedient children."
"Well, well, I'm obedient and won't fight anymore."
Liu Ye had already coaxed Yuan Guimi, and was thinking about who was spreading rumors everywhere, when he saw Yuan Guimi's biological mother rushing over in a panic.
This beauty has been with Yuan Guimi as a nurse, and she has been keeping to herself all these years, not like someone who will go against Liu Ye. However, knowing people and knowing faces but not hearts, maybe watching the child grow up day by day, it is becoming more and more difficult for her to bear her child calling someone else's queen mother all day long!
"Queen!" The panicked beauty hurriedly knelt down, staring at the wound on Yuan Guimi's face, tears rolling in her eyes, "Oh my God, the little prince's face, this, who hit this, so ruthless heart......"
"Get up and speak!" Liu Ye's face sank, and he asked rhetorically, "Why are you here?" β
"Slave, slave and maid heard that the little prince was fighting with someone, so she rushed over to take a look in a hurry, but I didn't expect the little prince to be so seriously injured, queen, who beat him?" The beauty couldn't help but shed tears again.
"Nurse, Yuan'er is fine." Yuan Guimi ran over and hugged the beauty's neck, and said with a smile, "Yuan'er promised her mother that she would never fight with others in the future, it was all Yuan'er's fault." β
Looking at such a well-behaved and sensible Yuan Guimi, the beauty felt even more sad: "Well, it's good for the little prince to know that he is wrong, go, and the nurse will take you back." β
"Wait a minute!" Liu Ye stopped her and asked, "Who did you hear that the prince fought with others?" Rushed over without asking, are you still afraid that someone will bully him! β
The beauty was stunned, and had no choice but to respond: "It's the maid next to Mrs. Zuo, Queen, I know that I am wrong, I shouldn't be in a hurry and mess up." β
Liu Ye was silent, and the beauty was afraid that she would think too much, so she immediately explained: "The slave is not worried that the queen will punish the little prince, the slave is just afraid that the little prince will not be able to beat others......"
"Alright, I got it." Liu Ye waved his hand and motioned for her to take Yuan Guimi away, and then said, "The child has grown up, if the rewards and punishments are not clear, they will not be able to distinguish between right and wrong when they grow up." β
"Yes, slave remembers." The beauty twitched and nodded, and took Yuan Guimi's hand and walked back to his residence.
Liu Ye looked at the yurt where Xu Qige lived, and suddenly felt a nameless fire in his heart, it was obvious that she was the one who spread the rumors, and she couldn't see the peace of the harem, so she finally stopped for a while, and she had to think about something.
Xu Qige dressed himself in front of the bronze mirror, thinking of the embarrassed appearance of Yuan Guimi and the herdsman's children, he couldn't help but want to laugh, a dignified little prince, who has been so uneducated since he was a child, how can he take on a big responsibility in the future. Besides, it's not such a noble background in the first place, so why fight with the mud! His unpromising biological mother, even if she has a humble status, she doesn't even have the courage and courage to defend her children, she has been suppressed by Liu Ye for so many years, and she has never seen her resist, it is really a shame to be a mother!
"Mrs. Zuo, the queen has arrived!" Su Qige's maid hurriedly reported, "It's almost here, is Mrs. Zuo ready to take over?" β
"What's the hurry, you won't die after a while!" Xu Qige looked at himself in his glasses, raised his hand to fix his bun, snorted disappreδΈι¨ly, and got up and walked out of the yurt. She wants to see what Liu Ye is doing, does she still want to ask if the teacher is guilty? Liu Ye didn't catch a spot, why did he come to her trouble! The mouth is on her face, and she can say whatever she likes, who can stop her from speaking freely! Besides, she didn't lie, if she wasn't biological, she wasn't biological, and she didn't allow others to tell the truth! She just wants to fight for the little people, and if people dare not say it, she will tell the world!
"Yo, what kind of wind has blown my sister here today!" Xu Qige smiled flatteringly, affectionately grabbed Liu Ye's arm, and pulled her into the house, "Quick, come in and sit down, you busy man has not seen anyone all day long, I finally remembered my sister who has nothing to do, let's talk for a while, stay here at noon to eat, I won't let you go easily!" β
"That's right, sister, you sent away Brother Shi a few days ago, and the decision was too hasty, Brother Shi, this kid didn't come to say goodbye to me, really, I don't know how many years it will take to leave, I won't see each other for a few years, I will definitely miss her! You must know that she grew up when she was a child, and she can be regarded as half of her mother, but my brother only recognizes you and you, do you remember, she chased your aunt a few days after you came, and her aunt's name, I was still her nominal mother at that time, and I didn't see her so close to me, to be honest, I was still a little jealous of you at the time! Haha, it's still my brother's foresight, you are the mother and daughter who are destined! β
"More than ten years have passed, speaking of which, Brother Shi is also a big girl, sister, you sent her so far, how is her marriage good? Could it be that you want to tell her about the family's in-laws? That's right, Dahan and Wusun have been friends for many years, it's time to kiss and kiss many happy events, but I don't know whose son you fell in love with? You have been in Wusun all these years, I'm afraid you are unfamiliar with the situation on the Han side, if we want to find our mother-in-law's family, we have to find a good one for our younger brother, at least to be worthy of her identity as a princess! β
Liu Ye just smiled, unable to see what she was thinking, Xu Qige could only keep talking, so as to hide the panic in her heart. Xu Qige is no longer the arrogant and domineering Mrs. Zuo in the past, her current status is not comparable to Liu Ye at all, even if she dislikes Liu Ye again, she doesn't dare to come blatantly, at best, she only dares to provoke behind her back and cause her some trouble.
Watching Xu Qige busy serving tea and water, she really looked like a gentle and graceful good sister, but what kind of person she was, Liu Ye knew very well in her heart.
"Sister, this is the milk tea I made myself, try it, I added a lot of cheese, it tastes very good, Mi'er likes it!" Xu Qige held the hot milk tea and handed it to Liu Ye's lips with both hands.
Liu Ye didn't look at it, just looked at Xu Qige with a smile on his face, Xu Qige was furious by her, but he didn't dare to say anything, maintained a respectful posture, and kept smiling with his face.
"When the king comes back from Shache Kingdom, let's prepare to let Nimi succeed to the throne!" Liu Ye suddenly spoke, "Maybe the ministers will feel a little hasty, but it doesn't matter, while the king's body is still strong, he can assist the mud for a while." β
When Xu Qige heard this, he was overjoyed, held back the twitching corners of his mouth, and pretended to be puzzled: "Yes, I also feel that I am in a hurry, in fact, there is no need to be in such a hurry, it will be okay in another year or two!" β
Liu Ye looked at her hypocritical expression, and was so disgusted that he wanted to vomit: "In another year or two, I'm afraid that some people can't wait for a long time." β
Xu Qige was weak-hearted, turned around and put down the bowl, and took the opportunity to look away: "Hey, who is so anxious, can't wait for Ni Mi to succeed to the throne, now the king's health is very good, wouldn't it be a pity to abdicate so early!" β
"Because some people are afraid that the king will pass the throne to his son, and they are worried that Yuan Guimi will replace Nimi in the future, do you think she can not be in a hurry?" Liu Ye continued to stare at her.
"Ahem, sister, who do you say, the king acts above board, who dares to think like this, isn't it to slander the king's character!" Xu Qige felt that he was about to lose his grip.
"Since you know that the king is acting upright and will not go against the last wishes of the previous king, why do you still target Yuan Guimi, and not even let go of a ten-year-old child?" Liu Ye took the case and took the preemptive action.
"I didn't do anything to him, I didn't call anyone to beat him!" Xu Qige regretted it as soon as he finished speaking, isn't this the place where there are three hundred taels of silver.
Liu Ye looked at her embarrassed look and smiled mockingly: "Okay, I'm here to tell my sister today, Nimi can succeed to the throne at any time, Wusun's throne was originally his, and no one wants to take it away." My sister is waiting to be the mother of a country, don't be idle and have nothing to do with a child. β
After Liu Ye finished speaking, he turned around and left, Xu Qige was stunned for a while, chased out and quibbled: "I didn't find anyone to say bad things about Yuan Guimi, and I didn't tell others that his biological mother was not you......"
Xu Qige said a lot of mistakes, Liu Ye was too lazy to listen to her verbosity, and walked quickly to his residence, but was caught up by the mud halfway, and had to stop to listen to him.
"Within ten years, I will not succeed to the throne, and I asked the queen to tell Uncle Wang that Nimi only wants to follow Uncle Wang, and does not think about it." Ni Mi said respectfully, not showing the slightest hypocrisy.
Liu Ye's heart gradually sank, she knew that Nimi was shrewd and not exposed, and he would definitely be a difficult character to deal with in the future, but she didn't expect him to have such a deep city at a young age. Ni Mi is really much more powerful than his mother Xu Qige, Liu Ye can't help but plan for his future, Wan Nian is right, Ni Mi is her biggest obstacle.
"I will tell you what you want, but Nimi, you will always be the heir to the throne of Wusun, and your uncle will pass on the throne to you sooner or later. Besides, you have been in the DPRK for some days, and your ability is obvious to all, and no one will be unconvinced. β
"It is an honor to be favored by the queen, but Nimi knows that his ability is limited, and he is not yet able to take on heavy responsibilities, and it is really unfilial to work hard Uncle Wang to continue to work."
Liu Ye knew that he would not change his words if he continued to talk about it, since he came prepared, no matter how she tempted, he would not expose it in the slightest.
Xu Qige is eyeing the tiger, and the mud is every step of the way, which is not worry-free for the mother and son. Liu Ye was thinking about waiting for Weng Guimi to come back, and it was time for them to plan for the future.
In the afternoon, Liu Ye and Qing Ling accompanied Yuan Guimi and Xiaobao to play together, and suddenly a guard came to report.
"Inform the queen that the kingdom of Shache has mutinied, and the king has asked the queen to send troops to support."
Liu Ye was stunned and said hurriedly: "What about the king, how is the king?" β
"The king and his entourage have left the capital of Yache and are on their way back to Wusun." The guards reported truthfully.
"Are the generals back together?" Liu Ye asked nervously.
"My subordinates don't know."
"Ten thousand years, ten thousand years......" Liu Ye's body was weak, and she was supported by Qing Ling, she only felt that her body was gradually losing strength, and her thoughts began to be chaotic.
