Tianhuang nobleman

Chapter 112

In the main hall of the Qianqing Palace, Princess Dunsu couldn't close her mouth from ear to ear, she couldn't help shaking her head and said, "Your Majesty, stop praising them, the son-in-law is making them angry every day, it's not me, Zi Jun reads like a child." That's the case, Ziren, haha... In the past few years in the academy, the gentlemen are almost getting old. If it weren't for me and the son-in-law who are still a little bit thin, they would have been sent back. What books are you still reading? What kind of learning!"

Qi Xiao smiled gently: "My aunt is too modest, and my cousin is more martial than literary, so there is no need to bully him too much. Now let him go to the army to practice for a few years, and later... it will be the same."

Princess Dunsu understood Qi Xiao's implication in an instant... First go to the army for a few years of experience, and gradually gain experience and prestige. It would be the best if she can accumulate some military merits, so Qi Xiao will take care of her again. Slowly promoted, even if he is not as bright as a civil servant in the future, he will be able to shine on the lintel, and He Ziren is really not a material for studying, and Princess Dunsu has never expected anything from him. Incessantly, he shook his head and sighed: "It's hard for the emperor to think about him like this."

Qi Xiao chuckled lightly: "It's not counted as kinship, my two cousins ​​grew up with me, just because of this, I can't just watch my cousin being beaten by my uncle every day because he can't recite books. ah."

Princess Dunsu couldn't help laughing: "Don't bring it up soon... I went to see Old Prince Chun a few days ago, and I fell in love with the little granddaughter of Old Prince Chun. I haven't seen her for half a year, but she is so good. Appearance, what's more rare is that the demeanor is dignified and polite, neither arrogant nor overly shy, that elegant appearance is really good, I love it in my heart, I won't hide it from the emperor... I have always wanted to find Zi Ren Such a daughter-in-law, as gentle and pleasant as Roujia, is naturally good, but I am afraid that I will not be able to hold my boy. If such a good girl fell out of the sky today, I asked around at the time. The child is 14 years old this year. , I haven't got married yet, Princess Chunjun probably heard what I mean, and she is willing to look like that, but she has been with King Chunjun in the fief for the past few years, and she has long forgotten what Ziren looks like, meaning I wanted to see each other, I came back in a hurry and arranged for Zi Ren to pay respects to Lord Chun, who knows..."

Princess Dunsu was funny and angry at the same time: "The son-in-law found a few miscellaneous books from the unsatisfactory study room, and his beard blew up in anger. When I returned to the house...Zi Ren was running up and down all over the house. Hide, the son-in-law has already made a jujube-sized green bag on his forehead, so... the matter of seeing each other is over."

Qi Xiao couldn't help laughing, paused for a while and said, "If my aunt likes the girl of Prince Chunjun, I will give you a marriage order."

"Don't don't." Princess Dunsu felt at ease when she heard these words, but she declined and said with a smile, "Wait for my unsatisfactory thing to recover from its injuries, let others see it before we talk about it, they like it Your Majesty Giving a marriage again, so good is even better, in case people don't like it...Although the county king and princess don't dare to say anything, it's not good after all."

Qi Xiao nodded and smiled: "Okay, let's talk about it after my aunt and Prince Chun's House have discussed it."

"Well, the emperor has bestowed such a great favor on him now, and with such a good job, I think King Chunjun will be satisfied, in fact..." Princess Dunsu lowered her voice, smiled wryly, and said, "I heard what Princess Chun said, and she is also willing to settle down for my youngest daughter earlier. Old Prince Chun's body... is really not good."

Qi Xiao put down the teacup and said in a low voice: "I have already asked the imperial doctor before, and said... After this summer, autumn will be safe."

Princess Dunsu shook her head and sighed: "But I read it a few days ago, not to mention autumn, I am afraid that this summer is... well, it is also fate."

In the early years, the old prince Chun saw that he had done justice for the abbot of Qi Xiao. After Qi Xiao let Bai Ren go in the southern border, the old prince was confused. It was already kind and honest, Qi Xiao said flatly: "In the future... an honor is indispensable to the old prince."

Princess Dunsu nodded, hesitated for a while and said with a smile: "Speaking of which, I remembered... how is the one from Dexin Palace doing now?"

Qi Xiao curled his lips into a smile: "I'm taking medicine every day and night, I don't dare to treat him slowly."

Princess Dunsu's heart was secretly chilled, and since Qi Xiao ascended the throne, she moved Qi Jing to Dexin Palace on the grounds of "severe summer heat". The place where a concubine who was convicted of a crime lived. That concubine lived in this palace for 13 years. When she finally died, she was already out of shape. People who have lived there for less than half their lives have never been there, which shows that it is obscure.

Qi Xiao said to the public that Qi Jing needed to rest, so no one was allowed to visit him. Princess Dunsu didn't know what was going on inside. She just heard a little eunuch who delivered medicine there every day mention that there were often screams inside. The voice is especially permeating at night, and the imperial physician serving Qi Jing is still Liu Yuanpan. In the past, Liu Yuanpan would occasionally talk about Qi Jing, but now Liu Yuanpan remains silent every time someone tries to sidestep him. The emperor is now physically How to wait? Even Princess Dunsu has no way of knowing, she only knows that Qi Xiao and Liu Yuan have given a death order before... No matter what, Qi Jing cannot be allowed to die.

As for other things, Princess Dunsu didn't dare to think about it.

"It stands to reason that I shouldn't mention this to the emperor, but since I bear the false name of this aunt, I have to persuade the emperor if I have something..." Princess Dunsu smiled and stroked the beaded silk on her temples. Jinfeng laughed softly, "The emperor is kind-hearted, and he has been healed by a good doctor from Liuyuan, but...it's not that I speak badly, his body is already like that before, unless he asks for the elixir of Laojun, otherwise he can How big is the head?"

Princess Dunsu forced a smile: "Old Prince Chun is not well, the princess of the county knew that she had to start planning for her daughter, his body is like that... I have to persuade you, although he is not good, but in the end It’s because of a reputation, but if he’s gone, the emperor doesn’t care about it, so what to do, the big wedding...it’s better to make plans early.”

Qi Xiao lowered his eyes, smiled suddenly for a long while and said, "It's been a long time since I saw my cousin, counting the months...she must be heavy now."

"That's not it." Speaking of the eldest daughter Lai Dunsu, the eldest princess smiled all over her face, "Several imperial doctors saw it and said that this baby is still a brother. She was so frivolous that she sighed to me and said she was not happy. There are quite a few brats, and I didn’t expect to get a girl! Let me teach her a lesson, I’ll just hear this, if the old lady in-law heard it, she wouldn’t be so angry and crooked her nose!”

Qi Xiao smiled softly: "I have an order for my cousin. If my wife finds out, she won't be angry no matter what happens when she comes to my cousin."

Princess Dunsu gave a blank smile: "What purpose?"

Qi Xiao smiled lightly: "Among the eldest princesses, including the two elder princesses, only my aunt is the most important, and I was raised by my aunt when I was young, so it can be said that my aunt has made great contributions to the country. Now I am After succeeding to the throne, so many old ministers have been awarded and rewarded before, so I can't forget my aunt."

Princess Dunsu shook her head again and again and sighed: "The emperor's words are serious. Since you came to the throne, haven't I seen how you have promoted the He family and my two sons? This is enough."

Qi Xiao shook his head and smiled: "Auntie, you're being polite... I intend to give my aunt a great gift, but now my aunt's status is invaluable and invaluable, so I have no choice but to give this kindness to my aunt's children."

Qi Xiao gently caressed the life talisman on his waist, and said slowly: "Cousin Fang He's family... Suyong Demao, Wen Yi Gongshu, Tang Mu's code, but there are constant rules, she can be named Princess Hua'an, and a thousand households."

Princess Dunsu was shocked, she stood up and declined, before he could speak, Qi Xiao said again: "Cousin He, who is graceful and beautiful, gentle and virtuous, young Xian etiquette, Su Jing poetry, can be named Princess Qianping , Yiyi Qianhu."

Princess Dunsu's heart was empty, and she quickly resigned and said: "It's impossible, I've broken them... and they are so young, they have no half in the king or the country..."

Qi Xiao got up and held Princess Dunsu's hand to help her sit down, and said softly: "Didn't I just say that this grace is actually for my aunt, but now my aunt is the most honorable eldest princess. If nothing can be sealed, it will shelter my two cousins."

Qi Xiao laughed softly: "I have already given orders from the Ministry of Rites, and the two orders will be sent out in a few days. This will not only allow my cousin to raise her baby with peace of mind, but also... help her in her marriage."

Princess Dunsu refused in every possible way, so she had to agree, shook her head and smiled bitterly for a long while and said: "First, I was promoted to the post of son-in-law, and then I vigorously promoted several children of the He family, and then I found such a good future for Zi Ren, and now I still have to pay for it." ...Your Majesty, how can you make me feel better?"

Qi Xiao held the hand of Princess Dunsu and said in a low voice, "Since I became the throne... my aunt has never called me Xiao'er again."

Princess Dunsu didn't expect Qi Xiao to say this suddenly, she was stunned for a while and said with a smile: "Courtesy cannot be broken..."

Qi Xiao looked firmly into Princess Dunsu's eyes: "My aunt and I have never had any rules of etiquette between monarchs and ministers... It was so difficult that both our aunt and nephew came here, why are we separated again today?"

Princess Dunsu's nose turned sore and her eyes turned red. Qi Xiao comforted her softly, "I know what my aunt is afraid of, but my uncle is not that ambitious. The He family has been a member of the family for hundreds of years and has a strict family tradition. Don't let the royal family, the He family knows how to advance and retreat, you can rest assured, the friendship between the two cousins ​​and me is extraordinary, and it is not wrong for me to value them more."

Princess Dunsu couldn't stop nodding, and said in a low voice, choked with sobs: "Good boy, I knew it... I knew it..."

Qi Xiao softly comforted Princess Dunsu, while Jiang Deqing came in outside and bowed and said, "Your Majesty, the King of Lingnan is here."

Princess Dunsu's heart moved. What Jiang Deqing said was "The King of Lingnan is here", not "The King of Lingnan is asking to see him".

Qi Xiao nodded, and after a short while, Bai Ren came in, seeing that Princess Dunsu was also hurriedly saluting, Princess Dunsu got up and smiled, "Hello, my lord."

"It's all common, so you don't need to stick to these empty etiquettes." Qi Xiao looked at Bai Ren and frowned slightly, "What did I tell you before? Come back after the sun goes down. It's so hot outside, in case you get heatstroke, just play of?"

Seeing Qi Xiao put down his face, Bai Ren quickly nodded and said docilely: "I wanted to come back later, but seeing that the sky is a bit cloudy today, I thought it was okay..."

"No matter how cloudy it is, it's still sweltering." Seeing that Bai Ren's face was flushed, Qi Xiao felt quite upset, so he turned his head and told the palace servants, "Add two more bowls of ice."

The palace servants hurriedly went to get the ice, and Princess Dunsu raised her eyes and glanced at Bairen, only to see Bairen's face was fair, with a few beads of sweat on his forehead, making his skin look more tender, and then looking at him... She was dressed in ordinary clothes, but upon closer inspection it was unusual, from the material to the patterns on it to the stitches of the clothes, they were all top-notch, Princess Dunsu was in a trance, she still remembered that Bai Ren was very skinny when Qi Xiao first came to the throne, Although she is also thin now, she has a lot of clouds on her body, and her complexion is even better than that of her little daughter who is pampered in her boudoir. Princess Dunsu secretly sighed in her heart, telling the king of a country to be careful En Wan is spoiled, it's no wonder she looks bad.

Bairen is fond of sweetness and afraid of sourness, Qi Xiao asked someone to change the sour plum soup, and brought another lotus seed soup with rock sugar, Bairen was very thirsty, and he didn't care about the presence of others, so he drank a small bowl when he came up, Qi Xiao's expression was similar. It is no different at ordinary times, but there is a deep love in his eyes, and he said: "Use more?"

Bai Ren nodded with a smile: "It would be better if you add some ice."

"I don't have your ice." Although Qi Xiao said so, he still said to the palace man, "Splash with ice water, don't make it too cold."

The palace people hurriedly agreed to go, Princess Dunsu couldn't sit still, stood up and smiled and said: "I've talked to the emperor for a long time, I'm going back to the mansion first, and I'm still in a hurry to get Zi Ren to go to the army salute."

Qi Xiao nodded and told Jiang Deqing to send Princess Dunsu out.

After leaving the palace gate, Princess Dunsu helped the confidant female official to get into the carriage, and the female official followed in. As soon as the carriage moved, the female official couldn't help but said: "Princess... what a great opportunity just now, why didn't the princess follow?" What does the emperor say?"

Princess Dunsu looked worried: "What did you say?"

The female officer said urgently: "Tell me about the marriage between the young lady and the emperor!"

"Shut up!" Princess Dunsu interrupted the female officer sharply, "Don't mention this again in the future!"

The female official had no choice but to bow her head to confess the crime. Princess Dunsu sighed and said slowly: "I know you are all for this palace and for girl Fang, but didn't you hear what the emperor meant just now? Speaking of the wedding, the emperor conferred the titles of the two princesses without mentioning Miss Fang, how can you ask me to speak?"

Princess Dunsu sighed: "I wanted to have a kiss before, but that must be the emperor's willingness..."

The female officer couldn't help but said: "The princess has a great kindness to the emperor. The princess has said it, and the emperor will not refuse."

"You can never threaten the emperor with kindness." Princess Dunsu shook her head, "What kind of temperament is the emperor? If you make a fuss, it will ruin the friendship between me and him for decades, and the emperor still treats me. Isn’t it good enough? Since he became the throne, the rewards have not been cut off. Today, he gave me a great favor. I will go to ask Fang girl to be a queen? Don’t say whether the emperor agrees or not. Be ashamed to death!"

The female officer felt a great pity: "But... how good our girl is, what else can the emperor find if he looks for it again?"

Princess Dunsu sighed: "I'm afraid now that he won't want anyone..."

The female officer was stunned for a while and said, "What is the meaning of the princess?"

The Eldest Princess Dunsu shook her head and didn't speak any more. Qi Xiao just threw down this great favor before he could speak. He obviously didn't want his daughter, but looking up, there was someone more suitable than his youngest daughter. what?Not really...

Princess Dunsu thinks about all the things before the imperial court just now, and she is both worried and thankful, worrying that Qi Xiao is so greedy for men｜sex, it may be troublesome for her heirs in the future, but fortunately...

Just now the situation in front of the imperial court is still in front of us, and Princess Dunsu understands in her heart that the two people have made up their minds. If Qi Xiao was still on the spur of the moment before, if Bai Ren was still forced to do so before, but after the chaos in southern Xinjiang, after the succession As a matter of position, the two are inseparable.

Even if my daughter really became a queen, would she be able to live a good life between these two?

Princess Dunsu slowly understood Qi Xiao's deep meaning, shook her head and said with a smile: "He is also afraid that he will embarrass me in the future..."

The female officer couldn't understand, so she thought for a while and said to herself, "Forget it...it's rare to have the title of princess. Although the princess's mansion was not given, at least there is a food town, both famous and real. Now, are we girls still worried about not being able to find a good marriage?"

Just as these words entered the heart of Princess Dunsu, she patted the female officer's hand and smiled: "That's exactly what I said..."
