The queen cried the whole harem

Ji Yan raised her head and asked, "Are you okay today? I mean you won't be working in the palace this afternoon?"

Chen Dongyan hummed: "His Majesty knows that your second uncle and the others are here, so he has granted me a half-day leave. I will take the afternoon off."

Ji Yan thought for a while and said, "Actually, it's not necessary. Second Uncle and the others may have to sleep all afternoon if they sleep like this. It's okay for you to stay here."

Chen Dongyan said: "This is His Majesty's wish and has nothing to do with whether I can accompany my second uncle or the others."

Ji Yan nodded: "Yes, His Majesty is very kind to you."

Chen Dongyan corrected: "I made a mistake. I value you and the Ji family more. Although His Majesty is the king of a country, he attaches great importance to friendship."

Chen Dongyan didn't say much, but Chen Dongyan believed that Ji Yan understood.

Ji Yan thought about it and vaguely understood what Chen Dongyan meant. What Chen Dongyan meant was that His Majesty gave Chen Dongyan a half-day leave. This half-day leave was not for Chen Dongyan to accompany anyone, but to express his identity to the Chen family and the Ji family. As a king, he valued their two families.

At noon, Qi Hengyuan went to Fengyi Palace for dinner. He talked about what he had discussed with the ministers in the imperial study room in the morning, and asked Yan Ning: "If you were asked to recommend someone to destroy the white flag above Jiang Guo's city gate, who would you recommend?"

Yan Ning's fetal condition is very stable. After taking the medicated diet for a few days, she no longer has morning sickness. She is still taking the medicated diet, but not much, especially now that her appetite has increased. She can't feel full even after taking the medicated diet. , I also want to accompany Qi Hengyuan to have some more meals.

Lunch consisted of both meat and vegetables. Yan Ning picked what she liked and felt that she was almost done eating. She was about to drink some soup when she suddenly heard Qi Hengyuan say something like this.

After Yan Ning heard Qi Hengyuan talk about what he and the ministers had discussed in the imperial study in the morning, she guessed that Qi Hengyuan would ask her, but she didn't expect him to ask so quickly.

Yan Ning held the soup bowl without moving. She looked at Qi Hengyuan and asked, "Does Your Majesty have a suitable candidate in mind?"

Qi Hengyuan said calmly: "Chen Hong."

Yan Ning raised her eyebrows, obviously a little surprised. If she was asked to pick someone, of course it would be Chen Hong. Qi Hengyuan didn't know what Chen Hong was capable of, but Yan Ning did.

If Chen Hong is sent to cut down the white flag, he will definitely succeed.

Yan Ning asked: "Why does Your Majesty think Chen Hong is suitable? Qi State has a strong military, many Wuhou, and many capable people. There are also many people who are better than Chen Hong. Your Majesty did not choose anyone but Chen Hong." , is there any reason?”

Qi Hengyuan swallowed the food in his mouth, took another sip of the soup, wiped his mouth with a handkerchief, and then looked at Yan Ning and said: "During the battle of Qingjiang Pass, Chen Hong broke into Qingjiang Pass single-handedly and killed the enemy with one man. Not everyone has the ability to rescue Guo Xin and Meng Qingzheng."

As he spoke, his eyes deepened.

Perhaps in the battle of Qingjiang Pass, everyone saw the victory, saw Chen Dongyan, saw Wuhou and the soldiers attacking the city, and did not pay much attention to Chen Hong. After all, when the front was attacking the city, Chen Hong sneaked into the rear.

He didn't do much good, after all, he was saving people.

But his contribution was very great, because the hostage was like a throat, held by the people of Jiang, and the people of Qi were held by the throat, unable to move even an inch.

It's incredible that Chen Hong could sneak into Jiangguoguan City without being discovered. What's even more incredible is that Chen Hong was able to successfully rescue Guo Xin and Meng Qingzheng.

People in Jiang must know how important Guo Xin and Meng Qingzheng are as hostages. Since Guo Xin and Meng Qingzheng are so important, people in Jiang must have hidden them deeply.

Not to mention rescued, it's hard to find.

But Chen Hong found it and successfully rescued him without disturbing any of Jiang Guo's soldiers.

It seems impossible when I think about it.

But Chen Hong succeeded. Qi Hengyuan thought that Yan Lang had also sneaked into Jiangguoguan City alone before, cut off Jiangguo's white flag in one fell swoop, and came back unscathed.

Qi Hengyuan thought about earlier, during the battle of Yuling Pass, Jiang State suddenly declared war on Dongchang Pass and Qingjiang Pass at the same time. Yan Ning strongly suggested that Yan Lang and Chen Hong lead the battle. At that time, Yan Lang and Chen Hong They had never been on the battlefield, and the two of them had just recovered from serious illness.

At that time, Qi Hengyuan felt that Yan Lang and Chen Hong were a little different because of Yan Ning.

Later, Yan Lang's various performances indeed proved that he was more powerful than ordinary people.

Chen Hong also proved that he is extraordinary.

Qi Hengyuan looked at Yan Ning and said, "My beloved, I haven't answered my question yet. If you were asked to choose a suitable person, who would you choose?"

Yan Ning is not afraid that Qi Hengyuan will see something or guess something. Since she has shown her ability to Qi Hengyuan, she is naturally not afraid of his guessing. And with His Majesty Qi's shrewdness, he can guess some things. The eyebrows are also normal.

Yan Ning said: "I have the same idea as Your Majesty. If I have to choose someone, I would choose Chen Hong."

Qi Hengyuan asked: "Why did my beloved choose Chen Hong?"

Yan Ning said with a smile: "Chen Hong and Yan Lang became cripples, but I healed them. I know what they are capable of better than anyone else."

She looked at Qi Hengyuan and said, "Your Majesty, if you really believe in me, then believe in Yan Lang and Chen Hong. They will definitely not let you down."

Qi Hengyuan lowered his head and glanced at the ruby ​​ring on his left thumb. He originally wore this ring on his right hand, but it was inconvenient for reviewing memorials, so he wore it on his left hand instead.

This ruby ​​ring came from a strange place.

Wang Dehou investigated that Yan Ning bought a jasper finger ring, but when he turned around, what Yan Ning gave him turned into a ruby ​​ring ring.

Qi Hengyuan said in a low voice: "Of course I believe you."

He raised his head and said with a smile: "Okay, let's eat. Since we have the same idea, the third person must be Chen Hong. In the afternoon, I will go to the palace with Yanlang and Chen Hong to talk to them." this matter."

Yan Ning nodded, picked up the soup bowl and drank the soup.

After finishing the bowl of soup, she stopped moving her chopsticks.

Qi Hengyuan asked: "Are you full?"

Before Yan Ning could reply, he frowned again: "You don't eat much."

After speaking, he looked at her belly: "You are pregnant with a child now, how can you eat so little."

Yan Ning reached out and touched her belly. As her hand covered her belly, her eyebrows became softer.

With a smile on her lips, she said softly: "Every time I eat, I take medicinal food. Your Majesty, you eat one meal at a time, but I eat two meals at a time. You see that I eat less, but I eat double portions." Yes, I'm not hungry, so I won't starve myself, let alone my children. Your Majesty, you can eat, I and my children will stay with you."

Qi Hengyuan loved hearing the last sentence and was so excited that he couldn't help but pick up his chopsticks and started eating.

After eating, he summoned the royal physician.
