Feng Qing Shaoyi

Chapter 235 The king is also interested
The first prince who spoke took the words, sighed and said: "That's right, our second brother can let Father give an order to let him represent Beishuo to participate in the tribute banquet in Southern Chu, which is enough to show that his strength is unmatched. Test, we really can't provoke it."

The princes began to discuss after Emperor Yuanping left, but they didn't see that the man who was honored as the eldest son lowered his arms that were saluting when he heard the "Second Brother" mentioned in their mouths, and a flash of light flashed in his eyes. Unidentified emotion.

As for the discussion of the princes, Qi Ze, who was outside the altar, also heard it.Although the distance is very far, but because Qi Ze has internal strength, he can still hear very clearly.

Listening to these remarks, Qi Ze also got some useful information from them.

This ceremony of offering sacrifices to heaven was the task entrusted to Que Xian by Emperor Yuan Ping, and her guess was correct, but what was the reason?Is it to make Que Xian stand out among the princes?And listening to their tone, some of them seem to be very unconvinced.

Although these words sounded fine, she was someone who had been in the officialdom after all, so she could faintly hear the dissatisfaction in the hearts of these princes.

Thinking about it, they were all bastards just like Que Xian, but Que Xian only took the title of the eldest son, which made Emperor Yuan Ping so biased that he even entrusted Que Xian with such important ceremonies of offering sacrifices to heaven.

But now the rule is to establish a heir and not an elder. Since everyone is a concubine, who is more noble than whom?Why is it that only Que Xian has the limelight, but they want to follow behind Que Xian?Moreover, Que Xian's ability was not as outstanding as his appearance. Facing his own father, he was so frightened that he didn't even dare to ask a complete sentence. This was really hard to obey.

At the same time, it also makes sense why the female family members can come to participate in the sacrifice. It is probably proposed by Que Xian.Although I don't know why Que Xian suddenly thought of asking the female relatives to participate, but to come up with this idea, Que Xian guessed that his brain was not working.

Otherwise, they would not have come up with such an idea that would make the world laugh, but the women in the backyard would come to join in the fun for such a solemn and solemn sacrifice ceremony, lest there would be no joke.

But having said that, these young ladies from aristocratic families seem to have already started to have fun. After Emperor Yuan Ping left, these people began to talk in a hurry.

Hearing the noise that was obviously starting to grow in his ears, Qi Ze couldn't help turning his head to look, and couldn't help but sigh in his heart.

It turned out that Que Xian agreed with the women of the aristocratic family to come here for the sake of fun, but this Que Xian is an honest person.However, if Emperor Yuan Ping saw that the place where the imperial court sacrificed was a mess, he would probably regret that he had just left early, and also regret why he had to hand it over to Que Xian to do the sacrifice.Said it was for the fun, but it was really for the fun.

Looking at the young ladies from aristocratic families who have already formed a circle in twos and threes and talked about this year's lip gloss, which tailor's clothes are beautiful and other topics, Qi Ze regretted it for a moment. If he had known, she should have left in Yuanping Emperor. After that, he also sneaked out.

At the very least, she, a former courtier, did not have to see such a torment in this sacred place of sacrifice.However, it should be too late to go now.

Qi Ze saw that the princes on the altar also started chatting and laughing, talking about some irrelevant interesting things in Yingjing City, and knew that there was no valuable information to hear, so she didn't stay It is necessary here.

Glancing at the buildings around the altar, Qi Ze found a small corner that no one would notice, and planned to sneak out later, even the route of sneaking out and where to ask Zhu Yu Cangzhu to meet him All thought up.

As soon as he turned around to say hello to He Jieying and Wu Weiwei and ran out, the group of ladies from aristocratic families suddenly surrounded him, which made Qi Ze abruptly stop, looking at the expression on his face. The faces of the ladies of the family, who were provocative, were puzzled.

"Are you...what's the matter?"

"Miss, you look a bit unfamiliar. Why haven't we seen you before?" asked a delicate-looking girl in the lead, raising her chin.

"Oh, I also just came to Yingjing City, and I seldom go out of the house. It's normal that you haven't seen me."

"Just came to the capital?" The girl looked Qi Ze up and down, her eyes filled with jealousy, and she said in disbelief, "You are lying, you don't look like a countryman who has never seen the world. Girl, you can tell at a glance that you have lived in the capital for a long time. But we have never seen you, which family are you from?"

"My... surname is Qi." Qi Ze endured the jealous eyes that looked back and forth, and responded kindly.

She thought it was something, but it turned out that it was just the usual bickering and comparison between the little girl's family.

"Your surname is Qi? So you are a young lady of the Qi family." The pretty girl was even more puzzled, "But why have I never heard of a young lady in the Qi family? You are not a distant relative of the Qi family, are you? Thinking that you have some relationship with the Qi family, you are the serious daughter-in-law of the Qi family. Everyone in Yingjing knows that the Qi family has only three sons, and there has never been a daughter-in-law. Don’t think that you are beautiful, You can pretend to be the daughter of the Qi family. If you want to pretend, you will not pick a family with a daughter, the Qi family has never had a daughter."

"Girl, you misunderstood me. I am indeed the first lady of the Qi family." Qi Ze seemed not to have heard these offensive words, and he still spoke kindly and said with his expression unchanged: "Before I was infirm because of my frailty, My father and mother were sent to the countryside to raise my health, and now my health is getting better, so they were taken back to the capital by my parents. They were afraid that it would affect my recuperation, so they did not disclose to outsiders that the Qi family still had a son-in-law. Miss's matter, this caused such a big misunderstanding."

Before she came to Qi's house, Qi Dai had already made up a set of rhetoric.After all, there is an extra person in the family for no reason, which is really unjustifiable. The only reason is that she is weak and sick and can't show it to others.

The young ladies of the noble family glanced at each other, as if they had already accepted this set of arguments, and then the delicate girl turned her head and asked: "Since you are weak and sick, why don't you stay in the mansion to recuperate, and come to this grand ceremony to suffer from the cold?" very?"

"Because I often stay in the mansion and seldom come out, I thought I was lucky enough to be able to see this grand sacrifice ceremony this time, and I feared that there would be no chance in the future, so I came to see it."

"So that's the case, but what's so interesting about this ceremony?" the girl said with a look of disdain.

"Isn't that why you came here?"

Hearing Qi Ze's question, the girl seemed to have heard some joke, and said, "Who is coming to this boring ceremony of offering sacrifices to heaven? This place is so cold, it's better to stay in the room to keep warm."

"Then why did you come here?"

The girl's face turned red immediately, and she said shyly, "Of course I came here for the lover in our hearts."

"Lover?" Qi Ze was a little puzzled.

The girl glanced at Qi Ze, and said, "It's His Highness King Qin." In a hurry, she continued, "You really seldom go out, have you never heard of someone as wise and powerful as His Highness King Qin?"

Qi Ze: "..."

"You haven't even seen His Highness King Qin, have you?" The girl looked at Qi Ze with pity, and said with a slight sigh: "You are really poor, weak and sick, and you are forced to live in a boudoir, that's all. But you have never even heard of His Royal Highness King Qin, you are a poor person."

Qi Ze: "..." Did she hear correctly?Are these four words, wise and powerful, used to describe Que Yu?Thinking about it carefully, these four words are quite appropriate for Que Yu.However, she really wished that she had never seen him, so that her face would be less tormented.

"Oh, but it's really a pity." The girl looked at the altar in the distance, and said disappointedly: "Even though I came to this kind of place to suffer from the cold and dressed up for several hours, I still didn't see His Highness King Qin in the end. How could a person of extraordinary appearance not come to participate in this sacrificial ceremony? He must have been entangled by Mrs. Ze, that vixen."

Qi Ze: "..." She is a vixen.

The girl seemed to be still aggrieved, and said angrily: "That vixen has taken away the soul of His Royal Highness King Qin, and I don't know where it came from." Then her tone became sad, and she refused to admit defeat: " But she only showed half of her face, and she was so pampered by His Royal Highness King Qin, and now she doesn’t even come to the sacrificial ceremony, making it difficult for us to see each other, what’s so good about that woman?”

Qi Ze felt helpless in his heart at this time, well, if Que Yu didn't come to participate in this sacrificial ceremony, he would blame her for anything.Why are these little girls blaming her? Que Yu is obviously too lazy to come.

"Hey, why don't you talk anymore? Do you think that you are more beautiful than us and have a higher family background than us, so you start to look down on us from the bottom of your heart and don't want to talk to us?"

Just as he was thinking in his heart, Qi Ze heard this sentence.Looking up, he found that the girls were looking at him unconvinced.

Before Qi Ze could reply, the girl said with a sour tone and arrogantly: "We admit that you are a little bit prettier than us, and your family background is a little bit higher than ours. But, just a little bit, we I don’t envy you. If you come to play with us, we will still agree. After all, we will take care of the face of the Qi family. And those nobles of the family have been looking at you, just because of your Qi family’s family background. , I don't like you, so don't think too much about it."

Hearing this, Qi Ze noticed that behind the pale green pine and cypress trees not far away, a group of nobles from aristocratic families were quietly watching her, and from time to time they put their heads together and whispered, their cheeks flushed.

After all, he was a man before, and Qi Ze can guess a thing or two about what those nobles from aristocratic families will say.

Seeing this scene, Qi Ze couldn't help remembering that when she was still a courtier in Southern Chu, she needed various entertainments and attended banquets.Among them, the most lively one is the banquet with the participation of some young ladies from aristocratic families.

Because the culture of Southern Chu is slightly conservative, it is not as open as Beishuo.When attending a banquet, men and women are seated separately, and the two are usually separated by rows of willows and lakes.

Although they have been separated, it is useless to the son of the family who wants to peek at the woman's face.Every time you just hide behind a tree secretly, you can use the flourishing branches and leaves to cover your figure.

At this time, Chu Kainan would happily drag the remaining four of them to do this peeping thing.Of course, the four of them have always disdained and were not interested in this matter, but they couldn't bear Chu Kainan's soft-heartedness, so they could only go.

Basically, at this time, Chu Kainan had already scouted out the terrain, found the most convenient place to hide, and brought Jiang Yu to lie on the bottom of the high slope on the lake bank, and smiled at the beautiful girl not far away. The beautiful ladies in the boudoir give their own evaluation.

"Jiang Yu, do you think that Miss Yang is good-looking? How about introducing it to Shao Yi?"

Looking at Chu Kainan with narrow eyes, Jiang Yu looked at the so-called Miss Yang family for a while, and refused: "Farewell, Han Fei. This Miss Yang family is not as good-looking as Shao Yi, Shao Yi Marrying her back home always feels like a bit of a loss."

Hearing this, Chu Kainan carefully observed the young lady of the Yang family for a long time, and said, "You are right, but this young lady of the Yang family is quite outstanding. Although she is not as good-looking as Shao Yi, let Shao Yi take it first. , in case that girl from the Xu family gets angry with Shao Yi again later, Shao Yi still has one as a precaution, and when the time comes, no one will want it."

"...How could Shaoyi be unwanted?"

"Look at what you said, Jiang Yu, among the five of us, I am most worried about Shaoyi. You really think that Shaoyi's posture can marry a wife back. Which woman can stand his tough temper and cold face?" Come on? Now that the girl from the Xu family is giving Shao Yi something to eat, hurry up and let Shao Yi accept another one. At that time, the two wedding banquets will be held together, and the two women will marry together. The husband and wife are harmonious and the family is happy. Jiang Lu." While speaking, Chu Kainan patted the shoulder of Jiang Lu who had already been stunned.

Then, not afraid of death, Chu Kainan turned his head to Qi Ze who was already darkened and asked, "Shao Yi, do you think this proposal is feasible? Give it a try."

"oops--"

With black lines all over his face, Qi Ze withdrew the hand that hit Chu Kainan's head, and stepped back.

"Han Fei, let's go back, it's too embarrassing to be here." Xu Siheng covered his face with his hands and said with embarrassment.

Jiang Wen also nodded.

"What's wrong? I'm looking for candidates for Shao Yi. Look, how happy Shao Yi is."

Qi Ze felt that she couldn't stand Chu Kainan anymore, so he took a deep breath to suppress the arrogance in his heart, walked forward with a cold face, gave Chu Kainan another fist, and pulled him by the back of his neck and collar to slap him. Pulled away.

At that time, she didn't pay much attention to those young ladies from aristocratic families, Qi Ze.Unexpectedly, their roles were reversed so quickly, and she became the one who was secretly teased by the princes of the aristocratic family.

However, the relaxed and happy atmosphere at that time was so nostalgic in retrospect, and I couldn't help laughing.

Thinking of this, Qi Ze couldn't help laughing out loud, which caused the unconvinced young ladies from aristocratic families to look puzzled.

"What are you laughing at? Is it that funny?"

Qi Ze cleared his throat lightly, and said with his usual expressionless face, "Because I want to laugh."

All the ladies of the family: "..."

After the ladies of the aristocratic family glanced at each other, the girl frowned and said strangely: "You are really a strange person, we won't play with you anymore." After speaking, she led the rest of the ladies and left.

Qi Ze didn't care when he saw the person leaving. Qi Qi, who had watched the farce, stepped forward and asked, "Little sister, what were you laughing at just now? You can still laugh when those ladies from aristocratic families provoked you like this." ?”

Qi Ze glanced at Qi Qi, and said indifferently, "It's okay, they are still quite cute."

Qi Qi stared at Qi Ze for a while with an unbelievable expression, then quietly said: "Little sister, do you have any misunderstanding about the word cute?"

Qi Ze: "..."

I thought in my heart that I should not bother with Qi Qi, and the main thing is to leave quickly.So Qi Ze turned around swiftly, and when he was about to sneak away according to the route he had planned, Qi Qi grabbed his sleeve.

"Little sister, are you going to sneak out? Take your third brother and me together, it's really boring here."

Qi Ze glanced back, then nodded, and Qi Qi also followed with a smile.

After roughly looking around the situation, I found that the women of the family and the sons of the family were talking and laughing, and no one paid attention to them.Qi Ze gestured to the rear, signaling for Qi Qi to follow closely.

But Qi Ze ignored the person on the altar, that person was wearing black sacrificial clothes, the golden silk thread was extremely dazzling on the luxurious sacrificial clothes, showing the extraordinary identity of this person everywhere.At this time, he was leaning lightly on the stone pillar on the edge of the altar, nibbling a piece of grass in his mouth in boredom, and his eyes scanned everything around the altar.

A casual glance allowed him to see clearly a figure in indigo clothing walking slowly forward.Although the man was lightly supporting the wall around the altar, he seemed to be walking leisurely, not conspicuous at all.But it's this leisurely posture that walks like a car is enough to attract people's attention, and the temperament and feeling that are obviously different from other ladies of the family make him unable to move his eyes away.

The man stopped biting the grass, his eyes brightened, the corner of his mouth curled up into a frivolous smile, he spat out the grass in his mouth, and flew down the altar with light work.

"Liu Huangdi, don't step down from the altar. When the time for the end of the sacrifice is up, we will lead the officials to complete the final ceremony. If the father finds out that we are going down the altar halfway and do not obey the rules, Longyan will be furious .”

But the man called "Six Emperor Brothers" smiled indifferently, and still used lightness kung fu to fly into the air, and replied, "What are you afraid of, Brother Five Emperors? Father Emperor has already left, and there is Brother Elder Emperor presiding over the sacrificial ceremony." , the big deal is that the king will come back at that time, wouldn't it be fine?"

And the man known as "Brother Five Emperors" could only let others leave, and sighed: "Brother Sixth Emperor is going to the outside of the altar, and he probably saw some beautiful young lady from an aristocratic family."

A prince next to him answered, "Isn't the Sixth Prince always like this? Every pretty girl would come up to talk to him. Knowing that the father hates our brothers getting involved with girls, he still goes his own way." .”

"Oh, that's because the father has always been dismissive of our brothers. If you treat us strictly, the sixth brother will not dare."

"That's right, Father is busy with everything, so how can he have time to take care of our brothers? If we really take care of it, the sixth brother doesn't have the guts."

Qi Ze, who was outside the altar, also sensed something was wrong, and made a gesture for Qi Qi to stop, and she observed the situation.

While observing, Qi Ze felt a gust of wind blowing towards her.Originally, she planned to use lightness kung fu to avoid it, but she thought that there were too many people here, she was still an ordinary lady in the middle of the house, and she was not suitable for using internal force, and this gust of wind had no killing intent, although she didn't know what his purpose was, but She should be able to handle it.

So Qi Ze stopped his movements and pretended to be an ordinary young lady who had no experience in the world. His eyes were full of curiosity and ignorance as he watched the altar that usually only royals and courtiers could come to.

At the same time, a man floated up, stood in front of her, examined her appearance for a while, and said with a smile: "It's really beautiful, my king's eyes have never missed it."

Hearing this slightly familiar voice, Qi Ze remembered the conversations of the Beishuo princes after Emperor Yuan Ping left, and the second voice that appeared was slightly insolent, exactly the same as this person's voice.That is to say, this person is one of the sons of Emperor Yuanping.

Looking up, I found that this person did not look very similar to Emperor Yuanping.Perhaps because of his perverted personality, this person's face is full of youthful spirit, but he is not immature at all. On the contrary, the occasional flashes of light in his eyes seem to tell people that this person is deep-minded and not like his appearance Such a juvenile look makes people feel relieved and fond of him.

"...Your Highness." The woman seemed to take a step back timidly, her eyes full of green and ignorant horror.

It seems that a young lady from an ordinary family faces a noble prince, it should be like this.Afraid, overwhelmed, terrified, normal boudoir women should be like this when facing foreign men.

The man opposite didn't seem to expect that Qi Ze would be afraid. Seeing Qi Ze take a step back, he also took a step closer, "Are you afraid? No one has ever been afraid in front of this king. This king always thought that this king is more You are so approachable, so what are you afraid of?" Then he bent down slightly, looked straight into the woman's eyes, and said in an emotional and seductive tone, "However, your eyes are so beautiful, I really want this king to eat you up. .”

Qi Ze's heart shuddered, and he quickly lowered his head, pretending to look away anxiously.At the same time, Mrs. Qi, He Jieying and Wu Weiwei also hurried over.The chatter and laughter around also stopped because of this sudden change, and all their eyes fell on this side.

Madam Qi hugged Qi Ze tightly in her arms, stared warily at the man in front of her, and said in a respectful tone: "His Royal Highness, please forgive me, my daughter has been weak and sick since she was a child, and she is very afraid of life. His Royal Highness is unhappy, please forgive me."

"Ah, so it's Qi Dai's daughter. But this daughter doesn't look like Qi Dai at all, and she doesn't look like you, Mrs. Qi. She doesn't look like a member of your Qi family." The man looked like He asked casually, "Mrs. Qi, when did your Qi family have an extra daughter?"

Mrs. Qi smiled, and replied with the words she had already made up: "Your Highness the King of Wu does not know that my daughter is born with a thin body and a very weak fate. The fortune teller said that it is not suitable for a young girl to be raised in Yingjing City. Let the world know that it is easy to destroy fate and cause disease to enter the body. There is no other way to do this, so I sent it to the village to support me. After a hard time, I took it over and let everyone know."

"Oh, so that's the case." The man nodded in agreement as if believing.

"Since His Royal Highness King Wu is fine, the minister took the little girl and left." Madam Qi quickly took Qi Ze's hand, and was about to take Qi Ze away.

"Wait, Mrs. Qi." The man behind said, "Ling Qianjin is General Qi's heart, and even the treasure of everyone in the Qi family. Naturally, this king will not do anything to Miss Qi. Just seeing Qi The young lady is beautiful, I feel pity for her, and the king is even more sympathetic with her, so I want to make friends with her, and I want to have a long chat with Miss Qi, Madam Qi, what's the hurry."

As soon as these words came out, the expressions of everyone in the Qi residence changed drastically, but they still had a decent smile on their faces. Madam Qi asked politely, "What does His Highness King Wu mean?"

The man stepped forward and replied: "In short, the king has taken a fancy to her and wants to take Miss Qi back to Prince Wu's mansion for a few days. Madam Qi should agree to such a simple request, right?"

The decent smile on Madam Qi's face cracked instantly, and it was very difficult to pull out another smile.

And the man also went straight to grab Qi Ze's wrist.

Madam Qi protected Qi Ze behind her and said in a panic, "No, this is absolutely not possible."

Qi Qi wanted to go forward to argue, but Madam Qi secretly pulled her sleeves.He Jieying and Wu Weiwei also stepped forward immediately, standing in front of Qi Ze.Qi Dai, Qi Ji and Qi Che on the altar looked at this scene and wanted to shout out, but the sacrifice time was not over yet, and their courtiers could not leave yet, so they could only feel anxious.The other princes also watched this farce with a smile, as if they had gotten used to it.

This man was not one to be sympathetic to women, he pushed the Qi family's female family members aside impatiently, and was about to grab Qi Ze's arm with his outstretched hand.

Seeing this, Qi Ze covered the darkness in his eyes, and his palms began to gather internal strength, intending to use force to solve it.

Of course this matter cannot be resolved by force, but this Wu Wang is too arrogant, openly proposed to take her back to the palace, ignoring her status as a lady of the family, and destroying her reputation.Qi Ze has never tolerated this kind of situation, nor does he want to.

When the man was about to touch her, the inner strength in Qi Ze's palm was also ready to go.At this moment, everyone heard a very majestic teasing sound, which hit the heart directly from far to near.

"Really? That's really unfortunate."

At the same time, Qi Ze felt a firm and powerful arm wrap around her waist, draw her in, and let her press against his chest tightly. He also raised her right hand that had gathered internal energy, allowing the internal energy to gradually dissipate.

The other party stared at her eyes, smiled carelessly, and said in a magnetic voice:

"Her, this king has also taken a fancy to her!"
