Spring Banquet - Chapter 95
I had already thought of excuses, such as “being unwell”, “unacceptable”, Murong Qi opened his mouth, but before she could speak out, Miss Bai Si next to him said, “Baihua Jun has worked hard all the way, and my concubine prepared some snacks in the main courtyard. Would you like to try it?”
“No… no need.” Murong gave up his forehead and twitched, “My lord is not hungry yet.”
Slightly startled, her small face collapsed, and Miss Bai Si asked aggrievedly: “Does Baihua Jun do not like the concubine body?”
A burst of goose bumps spread from the soles of the feet to the back of the neck, Murong Qi wanted to yell at her: I like it if you speak well!
However, looking at Ziyang Jun next to him, Murong Qi felt that if he really yelled at her. The end must not be so wonderful. So she could only shook her head, suffocating herself, her extremely beautiful face turned blue.
The Fourth Miss Bai in front of her didn’t mean to let her go, clapped her hands and smiled: “Mr Baihua was born bright and beautiful, and the concubine likes it tightly at the first glance. Why don’t you wait for the concubine and accompany you to go outside?”
Murong Qi shook his head again and again: “No need not, my lord… I have something to look for Princess Danyang.”
“Oh?” Miss Bai Si asked curiously, “Are you close to her?”
“Get close! Why don’t you get close!” Murong was thinking about how to get rid of this “concubine body”, and Murong opened his mouth and said, “When we meet, it must be a greeting. If you want to go out, you will also be with her. That’s right, Madam should be healthy and healthy.”
Unable to hold back one, Li Huaiyu hugged his belly and laughed.
Murong Qi looked at her blankly, and the latter let go of the posture he had held before, leaning in the chair and bursting into tears with a smile.
How familiar with this look.
After squinting his eyes, Murong Qi sank his face: “Danyang?”
“Oh, you have good eyesight!” After regaining her original look of scorn, Huaiyu smiled, “I haven’t seen you in a year. We’ve gotten close a lot!”
Liu frowned, Murong abandoned the case and started: “You dare to play me!”
“Did you play me tricks last year?” Huaiyu dug his ears, “I remember what you gave me when I die.”
In order to show the friendship between the two countries, Baihua Jun gave the young emperor a generous gift, and also gave a generous gift to the elder princess. The difference is that the young emperor was given a real treasure, and what was given to her was a piece of jade pendant made of pig blood. She said without shame that it was a rare blood jade pendant, she left it in the palace, and didn’t realize that this person was teasing her until it became moldy.
Thinking of this, Murong Qi sneered with her arms in her arms: “Is this the reason you framed me for sending you the jade pendant?”
Li Huaiyu threw a fist at her: “You are not kind, I am not righteous, fair!”
Murong Qi got up and wanted to beat her. However, Ziyang Jun, who had been drinking tea leisurely next to her, moved faster than her. He stood sideways in front of Huaiyu, his clothes fluttering. Although he didn’t say a word, Murong Qi also understood. What does it mean.
After reacting to something, Murong Qi’s expression was very complicated: “So… you marry Danyang back?”
Jiang Xuanjin nodded.
Looking at this handsome face of Fengshen, Murong Qi sighed, “A good-natured person, how can I be blind when I am blind?”
Li Huaiyu stuck out his head from behind Jiang Xuanjin, wrinkling his nose and said, “What is blindness? I am a good girl, whoever marries is a blessing!”
“You can rest for a while.” Murong Qi sat back on his seat angrily, a little bit unable to accept this fact for a while.
She admired Ziyang Monarch very much. He was the only one among the Four Kingdoms who held a high position and was awe-inspiring. Therefore, every time she came back to the Northern Wei Dynasty, she had a lot of contacts with Ziyang Monarch. On the contrary, she was not in harmony with Danyang, because Ziyang at that time You are not at odds with Danyang.
But now that they haven’t seen each other for a year, these two are actually married? !
Taking a deep breath, Murong abandoned: “I want to go for a walk.”
“Do you want to accompany your concubine?” Li Huaiyu asked with a smiley face.
Looking at her sideways, Murong Qi got up and strode out the door by himself.
The situation in first-tier cities is somewhat tense. Important people gathered here, and the court’s forces continued to increase around the borders of the fief. I don’t know when conflicts would erupt, so there were not many people on the street, and only a few shops were open.
Murong Qi, who was in a bad mood, looked a little daunted, even if his eyebrows were really gorgeous, there was a vicious atmosphere.
She didn’t take anybody. She walked two steps out of the princess mansion and saw a restaurant. A man with the appearance of a domestic servant was holding a bowl of braised pork and squatting at the door with joy.
It is indeed a joy to eat such a large bowl of meat in such a place. Murong Qi glanced twice, then curled his lips and said, “What is the word on the bottom of your bowl?”
Lucky, who was eating meat with relish, looked over the bowl for a moment.
With a “pop”, all the braised pork in the bowl fell to the ground.
Lucky: “…?”
After blowing his whistle, Murong gave a smile, and moved on with a single stroke of his hand.
Zhao Cai was dumbfounded, looked at the evil beauty, and then at the braised pork that he had sacrificed heroically. He cried with a cry, and crawled into the restaurant.
Lu Jingxing was reading a letter from a few shopkeepers in Pingling, and he heard the earth-shattering howling without warning.
“Master!”
He looked up and saw Zhaocai crying so much that it was a grievance: “The minion’s meat…the minion’s braised pork is gone…”
Eyebrows jumped, and Lu Jingxing said helplessly, “What’s the big deal? Let the kitchen do it if you want to eat.”
“But… she… I…”
“Okay.” Lu Jingxing waved his hand, “Send this letter to the princess mansion to your Royal Highness, something will happen to Pingling.”
Upon hearing that there was something business, Zhaocai accepted the cry and extended his greasy paw to receive the letter.
Persimmon squeezed softly, Pingling was the weakest among the several fiefs, and Li Huailin also made up his mind to start from Pingling, and was about to officially take back the fief in the next year. Several shopkeepers who heard the news planned to leave the shop ahead of time and move to another city. Lu Jingxing did not allow it, but instead asked them to charge a few more when the shop was cheaper.
Jiang Xuanjin will definitely protect Pingling. Although he doesn’t know what the result will be, he is willing to trust him more.
If it loses… Lu Jingxing chuckles, it’s not a big deal. A courageous businessman cannot make a fortune.
The New Year’s taste dissipated within two days. There was news from Pingling that the imperial court wanted to forcefully conquer the fief. Thirty thousand troops and a hundred officials were pressed to the border city of Pingling, seemingly wanting to seize power directly.
When Murong Qi heard the news, he was beating two frivolous scumbags on the street. Someone handed her a letter. She reached out and took a look, and gave a few words at random to let people go back to the Eastern Jin Dynasty to send a message.
She came to this tier city not only for the favor of Jun Ziyang, but also for the Four Kingdoms. The Western Liang is not a climate, and Nanyan lives in one corner, and the Eastern Jin and Northern Wei are strong. Now that there is a tendency to split, she will come to help no matter what.
The emperor of the Northern Wei Dynasty was also stupid. It is not good to offend anyone. He actually offended the eldest princess and Ziyangjun together. As a fisherman waiting to harvest his nets, Murong Qi was very excited waiting for the mussel to clamp the snipe’s mouth.
This day came very quickly. On the fifth day of the Lunar New Year, there was friction in the border town of Pingling.
Jiang Xuanjin was well prepared, and reinforcements arrived very quickly, and the two sides fought twice in one day. Everyone wins or loses.
“Fighting at this time is actually very unfavorable for the royal family.” Bai Ai said in a low voice, “Your Majesty has not stabilized his ministers. There are conflicts within a country. If you can’t win Pingling quickly, you must be unable to explain to the courtiers.”
Li Huaiyu leaned on the soft couch. Slightly frowned: “Huilin is anxious.”
I don’t know why, after they returned to the fief, Huailin became more and more anxious. If she was as cautious as she was when she was lurking before, she might still suffer two boring losses. But right now, he seemed to be in a hurry, and he wanted to confront them head-on.
In terms of winning side, they are in fact no equal. The variable is that they have a hundred flowers.
“It’s really stubborn!” Li Huailin slapped the imperial case, and said angrily, “What did I do with her in the Eastern Jin Dynasty about the Northern Wei Dynasty?”
As soon as the border city of Pingling was captured, Champa was counterattacked back within a day. No matter if reinforcements came from Ziyang, Danyang and other places, the Eastern Jin Dynasty actually sent people to Ziyang to send food and payment, and it was also known as a gift.
Which country’s gifts give military pay? !
“Your Majesty calms down your anger, that Baihua Jun is acting curiously, and the Eastern Jin Dynasty Lord can’t do anything with her.” Qi Han handed over, “We have asked people to ask about it. The current power of the Eastern Jin Dynasty is in the hands of Baihua Jun.”
“Then what?” Li Huailin was irritable.
Liu Yunlie next to him pondered for a moment, and said, “If you guessed correctly, Jun Ziyang is planning to collude with the enemy and treason.”
The war has begun, Jiang Xuanjin is afraid of losing, so he invited Baihuajun to help. With the Eastern Jin Dynasty behind them, they must be able to defend Pingling.
“It’s really unreasonable!” Li Huailin was angry, got up and paced in the royal study room, but didn’t know what to do.
He has learned the methods of managing affairs within a country, but he does not know how to deal with the relationship between the country. The failure of the mission to the Eastern Jin Dynasty has already made courtiers quite criticized. If the Eastern Jin Baihua Monarch helps Jiang Xuanjin to stabilize Pingling, the people of the world will definitely say that this emperor is unpopular.
“Your Majesty, the minister has a plan.” Liu Yunlie arched his hands.
“You said.”
With deep eyes, Liu Yunlie said, “Since they united with the Eastern Jin Dynasty, we can also seek help from Xiliang.”
Li Huailin was stunned.
Qi Han hesitated slightly: “This…isn’t it right?”
“Looking at Ziyang’s situation, it is clear that Jiang Xuanjin has prepared for rebellion, and we have always been passive. If we don’t prepare more. Once we lose, then everything will be over.”
Last time Liu Yunlie went on an envoy, Xiliang was the smoothest among the Three Kingdoms. Li Huailin knew that the Lord of Xiliang appreciated Liu Yunlie very much and had established good trade relations. It is not impossible to cooperate more deeply.
After thinking for a moment, he sat down and took a pen.
“Aren’t you afraid that Mrs. Jiang will scold you to death?” Murong Zi sat in the courtyard and shook his head. “Dare to say that I will give you food and payment… If I do give it, you are collaborating with the enemy and treason!”
Jiang Xuanjin brushed her robes and looked calmly: “It’s not my idea.”
Murong Qi turned his head to look at Li Huaiyu next to him. As soon as the latter met her gaze, he said softly: “I’m a concubine, where can I manage these things?”
“Don’t come here!” Murong Qi frowned, “Want to tear me into the Eastern Jin Dynasty?”
“When can you change your habit of getting cheap and selling well?” Li Huaiyu gave her a white glance when he returned to his normal tone.
The military salary that Danyang sent was all distributed in the name of Baihuajun of the Eastern Jin Dynasty. Even if she was used, could it not benefit her?
After humming twice, Murong Qi stretched out his legs and staggered the maid who was carrying the tea.
“Mr… Lord?” The maid turned her face pale in fright.
Murong Qi turned around and smiled. Gloriously said: “Let you walk without looking at the road.”
Li Huaiyu: “…”
She said that there was something wrong with Bai Huajun, and it was definitely not groundless. This person was really hateful for doing bad things, and there was no reason, anyone who did not provoke her could be treated by her.
Jiang Xuanjin told her last night that there is evil in Murong’s bones, which was cultivated in the Eastern Jin imperial palace. She can’t be kind to this world, so it has been two decades since her husband has no husband.
“Staring at me? What do you want to do?” Murong Qi said to her. “What do you want to do to give me a favor?”
Regaining his senses, Huaiyu smiled and said, “On a whim.”
Jiang Xuanjin paused, and her dark eyes swept over. Slightly puzzled.
Li Huaiyu didn’t explain much, got up and pulled him away: “We who are married are different from the lonely and widowed. We have to stay close for some time. Let’s take it easy, let’s go ahead.”
Murong abandoned her face and said, “Who is lonely and widowed?”
Huaiyu turned her head and said openly: “You!”
Murong Qi: “…”
It was an eyesore, she thought, unless Li Huaiyu had a big belly, she would have to catch up and kick her.
“What do you want to do?” Jiang Xuanjin also asked while walking on the road.
Li Huaiyu hugged his arm with a smile, pretending not to understand, and only asked him: “What did you say in the letter you received recently?”
When mentioning this, Jiang Xuanjin slightly lowered her eyes.
He explained to his father that rebelling against the court was just a helpless act. If he didn’t plan ahead, he would be driven to death by the emperor. However, Mrs. Jiang insisted that he was a rebellion and wanted to bring his family back to Beijing to plead guilty. In desperation, he could only let people ban them in the main city of Ziyang, and not go out.
What can you say in the book? It was nothing more than the elder brother persuading him, the second brother cared about him, and then his father’s scolding and threats.
This kind of thing. The explanation is not clear. All he can do is protect the whole family.
“Oh, don’t be upset.” Stopped, Huaiyu hugged him with his stomach, “It will be fine.”
It’s too difficult to get well, but Jiang Xuanjin feels better looking at her rounded face, and whispered: “Go back to take a nap with you.”
“Okay.” Replied sweetly, Huaiyu smiled again, “I heard them say that when a woman is pregnant with Liujia, her husband is always very busy, and she has to go out from time to time, so she rarely spends time with him. But you just do it like this. Always by my side?”
Glancing at her, Jiang Xuanjin said, “Because you can toss too much.”
He was afraid that when he turned his back, this person would bump into him again, but he was more relieved to keep watching.
Especially, her belly is so big that he scares him.
