Chapter 3318 I Can't Eat Hot Tofu

"Qing'er, I'm not going to hide it from you. If Xiaoqin hadn't been with Damo, I think she's not bad. She's good at housekeeping and childcare."

Zhou Sheng said with some embarrassment.

"She brought two daughters, and I brought a son. If we can make do together, the Chinese themselves are not bad. Unfortunately, I don't have that kind of luck. That kid from Damo is more blessed than me," he said.

Yang Ruoqing was secretly surprised.

Unexpectedly, brother Zhou Sheng still misses Xiaoqin?Hahaha, Xiaoqin is really good, with a decent appearance, hardworking, capable, and virtuous.

"This kind of thing can't be said to be a blessing or not. It can only be said that you and Xiaoqin have a shallow relationship, and Brother Damo and Xiaoqin have a husband and wife relationship." Yang Ruoqing said.

Zhou Sheng nodded and fell silent.

Yang Ruoqing's eyes flickered, and she suddenly asked Zhou Sheng: "Brother Zhou Sheng, what do you think of Ping'er?"

"Which one?" Zhou Sheng didn't react immediately.

Yang Ruoqing smiled and blinked, "It's that Ping'er who lives in my house all the time!"

Zhou Sheng was stunned for a moment, then shook his head like something, "Is that possible..."

"What? You still don't like Ping'er? Ping'er is still a big girl with a yellow flower, and she is very good at embroidery. She is good at housekeeping and has a kind heart. You see, she is not good at Huahua or Huahua. It's her own, but she doesn't leave flowers behind wherever she goes..."

Zhou Sheng waved his hand again: "Qing'er, I didn't mean that, how dare I miss someone!"

"Then what do you mean?" Yang Ruoqing asked.

Zhou Sheng said with some embarrassment: "Miss Ping'er looks too beautiful, just like the fairy that day. She is also a big maid from a wealthy family. She can read and write, and can manage accounts. She looks like an official lady."

"Look at me again. I can't read big characters, I can't even write my name, and I don't have any skills other than doing some masonry."

"Except for the strength in these hands, there is nothing else. With Ping'er, isn't that the toad wants to eat swan meat? No, no, I know myself!"

Yang Ruoqing pursed her lips and smiled.

"A toad that doesn't care about swan meat is not a good toad," she said.

"Brother Zhou Sheng, when Ping'er comes back from Yuncheng, I'll help you find out what she's saying, okay?" She asked again.

Zhou Sheng raised his hand and scratched his head, grinning silly.

It doesn't matter that this hand just picked up the ashes from the bottom of the stove, it really dyed the hair...

"Qing'er, if you think it's right, then help me find out, don't say I said it, just use your own meaning, why is this, you understand..." He stammered.

Yang Ruoqing smiled, of course she understands.

"Brother Zhou Sheng, don't worry, I definitely won't ask in your tone. It must be when we women are talking in private. If I ask like that again, even if it doesn't work, you won't be embarrassed, right?" she said.

Zhou Sheng nodded again and again, "Yes, yes, that's the reason!"

……

On a winter night, Helanzhou, in Emperor Qi's mourning hall.

The door and windows of the mourning hall were closed, and there were no guards in the yard outside the house, but there was tension and desolation in the air, as if the yard was an invisible dragon's pond and tiger's lair, and he did not make a wrong step. Will fall into the abyss.

Yes, here are all Luo Fengtang's hidden guards, they are perfectly integrated with the night, the big trees and the pillars in the courtyard.

Unless the top-notch masters above them can spy out the hidden guards in the yard, otherwise, you will only feel that this is a strange yard, and there are people everywhere, all sharp line of sight.

Inside the mourning hall.

But it was a very strange picture.

The lid of the huge dragon coffin in the middle was lifted on the side wall. Qi Huang was sitting in the dragon coffin, with his hands resting on the edge of the dragon coffin. His complexion was not very good, and the corners of his lips were a little pale.

The personal eunuch Xu Gonggong beside him took a small bowl and a spoon, and tasted the ginseng and bird's nest soup into Qihuang's mouth little by little.

On the other side, Luo Fengtang in military uniform stood beside the dragon's coffin like a tall and straight green pine, with his eyes on his nose and his nose on his heart, with a solemn expression.

Here, Emperor Qi raised his hand and waved it lightly. Eunuch Xu immediately took back the silver spoon that was brought to Emperor Qi's mouth again and stepped aside. The neatly folded handkerchief was delivered to Qi Huang.

Qi Huang picked up the handkerchief, wiped the corner of his mouth lightly, and put it back.

Eunuch Xu just picked up the tray and left the mourning hall.

Here, Emperor Qi turned his head, although his complexion was weak, he still gave Luo Fengtang a majestic glance: "General Luo, continue."

"Yes!" Luo Fengtang replied, and then continued to report the situation in the capital to Qi Huang in a deep voice.

"The first prince has successively won over Grand Master Han from the Yue family, and several relatives of the grand master. On the grounds that 'the country cannot live without a king', they put the first prince on the throne, named him Changping, and called himself Emperor Ping."

While reporting the situation, Luo Fengtang quietly observed the changes in Qi Huang's expression.

"After the eldest prince proclaimed himself emperor, he blocked the water and land official roads and docks entering and leaving the capital, and successively suppressed dissidents on trumped-up charges,"

"Despite the censor's bitter remonstrance, the second prince was thrown into imperial prison and served with severe punishment."

"The second concubine was pregnant with Liujia and was imprisoned by the Guanzong family. The other little princes, except the fourteenth prince who was born disabled, had accidents one after another. The lotus pond in the garden, the weak water died..."

When he said this, Luo Fengtang finally saw a trace of fluctuation in Qi Huang's calm, deep eyes like the sea.

Qi Huang didn't express anything else, Luo Fengtang kept talking.

"From the day when the eldest prince ascended the throne to the morning of today, the general received a total of sixteen imperial decrees, requesting that the general escort His Majesty's dragon body back to the capital. His words became more and more severe each time, and he was installed on the general. The crime of disrespecting the order and killing the nine clans."

Hearing this, Qi Huang sneered.

"It will take five days for an imperial decree to be sent from the capital to this Helanzhou with the fastest horse."

"This imperial decree should be the last imperial decree issued by that bastard in this life. The previous 20 years of 'self-cultivation and cultivation' were still in vain. I am so impatient to climb up to that position, hmph, I will never become a master!"

Qi Huang shook his head slowly, his face was full of disappointment.

Luo Fengtang didn't say a word, but he actually agreed with Qi Huang's words in his heart.

The eldest prince, Qi Xingming, went early when he heard that he beat his concubine, and his body became weak again. The empress had no children, so she raised Qi Xingming under her knees.

Qi Xingming has been living in his eldest prince's mansion on the grounds of poor health.

He is not like the second prince who likes to make friends everywhere, recite poems and compose poems, go hunting and go outing, and be a leisurely prince who is idle enough to dawdle.

The eldest prince is very homely, and usually hardly walks around with the ministers in the court.

The eldest prince is not like the sixth prince Qi Xingyun. Qi Xingyun also lost his mother and concubine since he was a child, but he himself worked extremely hard. When he was more than ten years old, he asked Qi Huangna to go to the military camp to exercise.

He has been in the barracks for more than ten years and has achieved great achievements. He is the god of war of Daqi, guarding the north gate of Daqi firmly and resisting the invasion of Daliao.

In terms of personality, the eldest prince is not as free and easy as the second prince.

In terms of talent and appearance, he is far inferior to Qi Xingyun.

In terms of winning the emperor's favor, he couldn't compete for the young emperor's younger brothers.

The only advantage is that he is raised under the queen's knee.

But no matter which prince is the emperor, the empress is a stable empress dowager. So, over the years, few people would think that the eldest prince is the one who is the most impatient, and climbed up to that position so impatiently.

This reminded Luo Fengtang of a sentence that his daughter-in-law Qing'er often said: I can't eat hot tofu in a hurry, and it really will be scalded now!
