Tianhuang nobleman

Chapter 101

After seeing off the eldest princess Dunsu, Qi Xiao sat alone in the inner study for a while, when Jiang Deqing came in quietly when he was in a trance, bowed and said in a low voice: "Your Highness, the prince said before he left, that His Highness will let you go every afternoon. Remember to rest for a while after the meal, it's almost time..."

After hearing this, Qi Xiao got up and went to the bedroom. Jiang Deqing followed behind with a low laugh. Usually, if he persuaded himself, Qi Xiao would not pay attention to it. .

It was still cold on the porch outside, Qi Xiao rolled up the light fur that he was wearing and smiled, "Don't laugh secretly, father-in-law, the words of a natural daughter-in-law are more effective than a mother's, this is an old principle."

Jiang Deqing quickly panicked and said: "Don't dare, what His Highness said...is really a shameful slave."

Qi Xiao paused, casually teased a few canaries hanging on the porch and asked, "What did he say before he left?"

Jiang Deqing took a small porcelain cup of rice and grain and handed it to Qi Xiao, saying: "I also said that the early spring is warm and cold, let the slaves be careful, don't let His Highness catch a cold, and persuade more, don't Let His Highness drink cold wine, don't let His Highness sleep late."

Jiang Deqing smiled honestly: "Your Majesty, the lord gave this slave a purse full of golden melon seeds before he left. This old slave understands the principle of being loyal to the emperor."

Qi Xiao couldn't help laughing: "You are honest."

"How could this old slave dare to hide His Highness from you? I just feel sorry for His Royal Highness's painstaking efforts, so I have no choice but to displease His Highness." Jiang Deqing's flattery was just right. This point of explanation is not good, how can I have the face to see the prince again."

Jiang Deqing thought for a while and then sighed: "Speaking of it... Your Highness should not stay in the inner study. Last time, the prince heard that His Highness has not returned to the bedroom since his accident last year. It seems to be uncomfortable. It is for the prince. Your Highness should also take care of yourself more."

Qi Xiao fed the sparrows some food, put the rice bowl aside casually, and said softly: "I was just thinking about... that's all, my father-in-law will tell the people in the palace for me, and I will talk to you later." Xixiang said, let him take care of it."

Qi Xiao entered the inner room and whispered a few words, Jiang Deqing was startled: "This...isn't this going to be a mess?"

Qi Xiao sneered: "I'm just worried that they won't be in trouble."

Jiang Deqing felt uneasy, and whispered: "Why don't you take it easy? Wait... When the prince comes back, there is someone who can discuss it."

Qi Xiao laughed: "I just want to take advantage of his absence to settle this dirty matter, but you want me to wait for him, so go ahead."

Jiang Deqing wanted to persuade him again, but Qi Xiao had already made up his mind, so he could only agree to go.

In the middle hall of Yonghua Palace, Concubine Xue Gui stood leaning against the window, staring at the gloomy sky outside the window in a daze. A female officer next to her endured for a long time, and finally couldn't help but stepped forward and whispered: "Your Majesty... What do you think about those words?"

That day when Princess Dunsu came to look for Concubine Xue Gui, this female official was also in front of her. Concubine Xue relied heavily on her, and said in a daze, "I...I can't tell."

The female officer was anxious, and whispered: "How can you still hesitate like this! When is this, wait...the empress is afraid that the bones will eat yours too."

When I got up early to pay my respects to Fenghua Palace, Concubine Xue had another meal from Empress Feng. She has been favored for many years, and she has a prince under her knees. , the most bustling Yonghua Palace in the past suddenly became like a cold palace. Concubine Xue Gui couldn't turn the corner for a while, and said in panic: "If I really listen to her, then...then my Qi'er is just a little Are there no chances?"

The female officer bit her lip and said bitterly: "But you also have to think about it...how much chance do you have if you don't listen to His Highness the Crown Prince?"

Concubine Xue frowned in pain: "It's all my fault... This year, people have been so flattered that they can't find their way. I was impetuous and ruined my son's bright future." Concubine Xue was weeping, and the female officer quickly comforted him: " Empress, don't think like this, it was a matter of risking your life, but now that you have learned this lesson and retreated, it might be a good thing, at least you saved your life, didn't you?"

Concubine Xue Gui smiled wryly: "You saved your life? Are you a good person when you are the prince? I don't know what happened back then. If he succeeds in the future, for revenge, he might kill all the heirs of the emperor...Father It must be reasonable to keep reminding me not to confront the prince, and joining forces with him is just a bad idea."

The female officer kept persuading: "It's better than nothing... Madam, don't you want to send a letter to the Duke? The Duke is more thoughtful than us."

"No!" Concubine Xue Gui said sternly, "Because of the previous incidents, I have already caused my father to suffer. I heard that my father has already become ill from my anger. How can I make my father worry about his illness now!"

The female officer was in a dilemma: "Then what should I do? Didn't the empress say... Didn't the emperor say that the emperor is so sick! Then... where is the delay? When the Feng family gains power in the future, there is naturally nothing to do. In case the prince Victory, we ignore him now, but in the future... it will be difficult to talk."

Concubine Xue Gui was also very upset. After all, she was still not reconciled. She always wondered if there was any other way to turn defeat into victory for her son. Yes, there is no other way.

When the two of them were hesitating in every possible way, a little palace maid from outside stumbled in, fell to her knees and cried, "Your Majesty...it's not good, Your Majesty..."

The female officer supported Concubine Xue Gui, and said sharply: "What's wrong, speak well, and carefully scare the empress."

"Yes, yes..." the little maid sobbed and choked up, "Just now the servants served the third prince to rest for a while, but the third prince rolled over and fell to the ground shortly after he lay down. The servants were shocked Jump, I saw the third prince vomit a mouthful of blood, his face turned pale, it was terrifying..."

Concubine Xue Gui almost fainted, and screamed involuntarily: "Hurry up and get the imperial physician!"

"Please, it's useless..." The little palace maid was sobbing, sobbing, "Sister Emerald just went to ask the empress to ask the imperial doctor Xuan, but, but..."

The female officer was very anxious, and said angrily: "But what, tell me!"

The little maid cried loudly: "It's just that the empress didn't pay attention, and she smiled and asked Sister Fei Cui, asking... asked what she deliberately spoiled this time, and who she wanted to harm... Your empress, Mingjian, there is no one who wants to harm anyone, Sister Fei Cui can't do anything. Dare not to say it, just kowtowed, begging the empress for help, the empress ignored it, said that now the imperial physicians are serving the emperor in Chengqian Palace, and there is no time for other people to pretend, Sister Fei Cui had no choice but to come back, and let the servants come to beg the empress to find a way, Any later... I'm afraid it won't be good!"

Concubine Xue Gui's forehead was bulging with blue veins, her brows stood upright, and she hissed, "Go... get my seal and go directly to the imperial hospital to teach the imperial doctor. I want to see, who dare not come!"

The little palace lady quickly agreed, took the imperial concubine's seal and went. Concubine Xue Gui's face was pale, and she said coldly: "When Qi'er is rescued, then... go to Princess Dunsu and tell her , Ben Gong... agrees to anything."

A few days later, Qi Xiao looked at Concubine Xue's handwriting and said in a low voice: "Concubine Xue is really sincere, and deliberately sent a handle so that I can understand that she is sincere, haha... really sensible."

Jiang Deqing apologized, Qi Xiao almost killed Qi Qi this time, but Concubine Xue thought it was the Feng family who were going to do something, and after walking through the ghost gate with her son in her arms, Concubine Xue immediately made up her mind that she must fight with Qi Qi. When Xiao joins hands, she wants nothing but Qi Xiao to save the lives of their mother and child, and the lives of Xue's family.

Qi Xiao smiled lightly: "She is not losing money on this deal."

Jiang Deqing hurriedly said: "That's right, haha... It's funny to say, it's Concubine Xue who killed Empress Feng in one bite, trying to make the emperor soft-hearted, Concubine Xue pointed directly at Fenghua Palace, saying that Empress Feng wanted to It's time to kill someone, the public says the public is right and the woman says the woman is reasonable, His Highness's method of making such a mess is really good, the emperor is already short-spirited, and he was completely confused when he made it like this, and his illness has worsened."

Qi Xiao sneered, Jiang Deqing said happily again: "If the prince knows, he must be happy again."

A gentle smile emerged from the corner of Qi Xiao's mouth, and he said in a low voice, "If there is no delay on the way, we should have arrived in Lingdu by now."

Jiang Deqing nodded and smiled: "No, the concubine might be shocked when she saw the prince. When she left, she was as thin as a paper doll. I haven't seen her for two months. After returning, she changed into a different person. She is handsome and moist, too. I don't know how happy the concubine is, she must praise His Highness for taking care of people."

Qi Xiao smiled, suddenly remembered something, frowned and said: "Has Kangtai come to Beijing already? How is it?"

Jiang Deqing sneered, shook his head and said: "I arrived the day before yesterday, this one is really powerful, the title of princess has been deprived, and she still wants to show off her mother's score, after arriving in Beijing, she refuses to go directly to Li's mansion, she really wants to Going to seek refuge with Princess Roujia and wanting to marry from the He Mansion, Mrs. He has no idea. After all, she is Princess Roujia’s sister. I dare not say no. Uncle He is even more difficult to speak, even though the name is not right. , After all, it’s my sister-in-law, if you say it badly, it seems like you don’t respect Princess Roujia, it’s very embarrassing.”

Qi Xiao frowned: "Why didn't you tell me earlier?! If he's not here, wouldn't he be angry if his sister was wronged!"

Jiang Deqing said with a smile: "Your Highness, don't worry, Princess Roujia has not been wronged. It's something that no one thought of... In the end, Princess Roujia came out to speak. But he was in good spirits. After hearing about Kangtai's idea, he put on a cloak and came out to welcome him. He guarded He's mansion and did not allow Kangtai to enter. Kangtai couldn't get out of the sedan chair, so he had to let his nanny go to ask Princess Roujia No matter how eloquent they are, Princess Roujia just doesn't allow them to enter the door. Kangtai finally became anxious, and started cursing in the sedan chair. Powerful, just one sentence shocked the scene.”

Jiang Deqing looked at Qi Xiao, and said with a smile, "Princess Roujia said... If you want to marry, you should go there before Li's mansion repents. If you don't want to marry, then go back to Lingnan. No, a bite of food can still support you!"

"Kangtai yelled at Shiyi Shiyi, and Princess Roujia replied with a smile... Shiyi Shiyi, it's good that you understand that the current King of Lingnan is my serious brother, not yours."
