The cooking color is delicious, general, don't bite me

Chapter 175 Shameless and Invincible
Xiaodonggua wanted to go to Ding'an Palace with Meng Fuling and the others, but Meng Fuling knew that he had business to do, so she refused to let him follow.

Just she and Qi Xuan went together, she was very curious about what kind of gift Qi Xuan was talking about, but no matter how she asked, he just smiled and said nothing, which really made her very curious.

When they first arrived at the gate of Prince Ding'an's Mansion, Meng Fuling was a little surprised because there were several rows of servants standing outside to welcome them.

Except for Qi Youming, almost all the sons and daughters of the concubine came out.When they saw Qi Xuan, they saluted him very respectfully.

What the hell is Qi Youming up to?The more this happened, the more Meng Fuling felt that something was wrong.

"Don't worry!" Qi Xuan cast a reassuring look at Meng Fuling, only said these two words, and said nothing more.

Meng Fuling came to Ding'an Palace for the first time. After entering the gate, she looked it over carefully. She found that the inside was quite far-reaching, surrounded by small bridges, flowing water, artificial mountains, lakes and stones, and promenades. It didn't look bad.

After walking for a while, they arrived at the main hall where the banquet was held. Before entering, Meng Fuling saw Qi Youming sitting at the top of the table, and a young man sitting at the bottom of the table.

Among Qi Youming's children, Meng Fuling has only met Qi Yu, and she has heard the name Qi Lin many times, but she has never met herself.

But needless to say now, she also guessed that the young man must be Qi Lin, logically speaking, only the eldest son should be able to sit in that position.

Qi Xuan hadn't formally severed ties with Ding'an Prince's Mansion, and today he specially invited Qi Xuan to come, but Qi Lin took that position in front of Qi Xuan.

Also, although the ostentation of welcoming them outside seemed not small, there was no serious master. From this point of view, Qi Youming was just putting on a show, and he still didn't take Qi Xuan seriously from the bottom of his heart.

In just a short moment, Meng Fuling saw it clearly, felt even more distressed about Qi Xuan, and could not help but hold his hand tightly.

"My lord, the eldest son is back." The housekeeper who led them in, invited Qi Xuan and the others to go in, and at the same time reported the report.

"Well! Just come back, sit down!" Qi Youming looked very indifferent, he only slightly raised his eyelids, and glanced at Qi Xuan.

Qi Lin followed and said, "Brother, sit down, at your own house, don't be too polite."

Listen, you say you are in your own house, but you are not welcome?That tone was more like the way a host treats a guest.

Meng Fuling felt annoyed when she heard this, and turned to look at Qi Xuan, his face was calm and unmoved at all.

There are two chairs across the table above, Qi Youming is sitting on the left, Qi Xuan is leading Meng Fuling and walking to the right.

He casually pulled a chair and placed it beside him, and sat down with Meng Fuling, so that they were sitting side by side with Qi Youming.

Seeing that not only Qi Xuan, but also Meng Fuling was sitting on top of him, Qi Lin instantly became angry.

Qi Youming felt that Qi Xuan didn't take him seriously, so he patted the table heavily, "Is that seat worthy of you?"

"With my rank and official position, how can I not sit?" Qi Xuan said coldly.

He refused to admit his relationship with Qi Youming, but revealed his identity, Qi Youming almost vomited blood in anger.

Seeing that her father was deflated, Qi Lin looked at Meng Fuling and asked Qi Xuan, "What about her? Why are you sitting there?"

"She is the general's wife, so she can sit naturally. You specially invited this general to come, isn't it just to discuss the position?" Qi Xuan sarcastically said with a frosty face.

After Qi Xuan said this, Qi Youming remembered the business, "Of course not, I asked you to come today just for your marriage."

Meng Fuling's heart sank, thinking that Qi Youming must have learned that the Empress Dowager gave her and Qi Xuan a marriage, and felt that it was not profitable, so he wanted to intervene.

If she guessed correctly, Qi Youming also arranged another marriage for Qi Xuan, most likely it was Luo Yao.

"It's not King Ding'an's turn to worry about this general's marriage!" Qi Xuan didn't care about Qi Youming's face at all, and drew a clear line with Qi Youming in both words and deeds.

Qi Youming's face became even more ugly when he was blocked by Qi Xuan's words, and he was about to throw a tantrum, but he thought that his goal had not been achieved, so he had to hold back.

"As ordered by your parents and a matchmaker, your marriage should be decided by this king. Even if the queen mother grants you a marriage, it will not affect this king's choice of another marriage for you." Qi Youming said with restraint of anger.

Just as Qi Xuan was about to speak, Meng Fuling asked first, "Are you going to help Ah Xuan take a concubine?"

The Empress Dowager has already given her a marriage with Qi Xuan, so if Qi Youming finds another marriage for Qi Xuan, won't he have to take a concubine?
Qi Youming choked up, and gave Meng Fuling a hard look, "It's not about taking a concubine, it's about marrying a flat wife, which doesn't conflict with the Queen Mother's will."

"Oh! Which lady is it?" Meng Fuling continued to ask as if she didn't see Qi Youming's black face.

"Prime Minister Luo's daughter, Miss Luo is well-educated and good-looking, and she is not comparable to some rural girls." Qi Youming did not hide the contempt in his eyes as he spoke.

Faced with Qi Youming's irony, Meng Fuling didn't take it seriously, but she found that when talking about Luoyao, Qi Lin's eyes clearly showed admiration.

Meng Fuling instantly understood that Qi Youming wanted Qi Xuan to marry Luo Yao, but Qi Lin liked Luo Yao, how interesting!Wouldn't it be good to just let Qi Lin marry Luo Yao?

"King Ding'an, you have no right to meddle in this general's marriage. If you like that Luo Yao, you can marry yourself." Qi Xuan seemed to be wrapped in raging flames, burning towards Qi Youming.

He couldn't hear someone comparing Meng Fuling with other women and being belittled by others.

Qi Youming was blown away by Qi Xuan's last words, what does it mean that he likes him, so he will marry himself?
He conceived a lot of words to reprimand Qi Xuan, but when it came to his mouth, he was a little speechless, "This king is your father, why doesn't he have the right to control you?"

"You are not worthy to be the father of this general!" Qi Xuan said coldly.

"Bastard! Do you dare not recognize me? Without me, where would you come from?" Qi Youming stood up abruptly, staring at Qi Xuan angrily.

He was afraid that Qi Xuan would not come, so he drew up an invitation himself, intending to persuade Qi Xuan, but now Qi Xuan's few words made him half dead.

Pooh!Meng Fuling couldn't help laughing after hearing Qi Youming's words, his words were too rough.

Meng Fuling's laughter made Qi Youming even more angry, and immediately pointed the finger at her, "What are you laughing at? What's so ridiculous?"

"It's nothing, you continue, continue!" Meng Fuling laughed even harder.

"Father, don't be angry, the eldest brother and the future sister-in-law have no intentions." Qi Lin wished that Qi Youming would be so angry that he would forget about asking Qi Xuan to marry Luo Yao, but he said so on purpose.

Qi Lin's words undoubtedly added fuel to the flames, easily pulling Qi Youming's anger to the extreme.

"Tsk tsk, I didn't know that some people's mouths can spray feces." Meng Fuling's voice was loud, and Qi Youming and the others could hear what he said clearly.

"Bold! Who are you talking about spouting dung?" Qi Youming scolded angrily, grabbed the teapot on the table, and wanted to smash Meng Fuling, but he didn't dare to hit it.

If it weren't for Gu Nianmeng Fuling being Yue Shaoqing's daughter, Qi Youming would have kicked her out of the mansion long ago, even if the queen mother gave her a marriage, he would have forced her to give up her position as the wife.

"I didn't name the names, what is King Anding so excited about?" Meng Fuling said with a sarcasm.

"That's enough! Brother, how can you team up with outsiders to anger your father? You are so rebellious!" Qi Lin stood up, pretending to argue with Qi Xuan.

Qi Xuan doesn't look at Qi Lin straight at all. In his eyes, Qi Lin is just a low-level clown.

Qi Lin has been jealous of Qi Xuan since he was a child, what makes Qi Xuan better than him, why doesn't he take him seriously now?
Just when Qi Lin was almost dazzled by jealousy, the butler ran in in a panic, "My lord, Second Young Master, it's bad! A large group of people came outside, saying that Second Young Master owed them money."

"What did you say? Who is so bold to come to blackmail?" Qi Youming's first reaction was that someone wanted to blackmail.

But after hearing this, Qi Lin's face changed in shock, and he froze, and dared not say anything.

Meng Fuling thought, could this be the 'gift' prepared by Qi Xuan?She cast a questioning look at Qi Xuan, and Qi Xuan nodded.

"Lin'er, what's going on?" Qi Youming became suspicious when he saw Qi Lin like this.

"Father, I, I lost a lot of money at the gambling house a few days ago." Qi Lin trembled and hesitated for a long time before saying.

"Why did you go to gamble? How much money do you owe?" Qi Youming couldn't believe that his son who was the best in his eyes would actually go to gamble and owe a lot of money, so people came to him to collect debts.

"Three, 30 taels of silver." Qi Lin bravely stated the amount, and did not forget to add: "It's not all owed from gambling, and 20 taels of it is used to buy ancient scriptures."

"What? 30 taels of silver?" Qi Youming's face turned pale, as if his head had been severely beaten with a big hammer.

His hands couldn't help trembling, and the teapot in his hand fell off and hit the back of his feet, causing him to hug his feet and jump around in pain.

Meng Fuling couldn't stop laughing, how could Qi Youming look so funny like a prince?
Qi Youming didn't have the time to pay attention to Meng Fuling, endured the pain in his feet, and asked anxiously: "What kind of scriptures can be worth 20 taels of silver?"

"Father, isn't the Empress Dowager's birthday coming soon? My son met an eminent monk by chance. He has an ancient scripture in his hand. It has been worshiped in the temple for hundreds of years. Its value is immeasurable. After a long time, my son asked him to agree to pay 20 yuan. I sold it to my son for two taels of silver. I thought that I would ask you to dedicate it to the Empress Dowager on her birthday. The Empress Dowager has always loved Buddhism, so she will surely please the Empress Dowager."

Qi Lin didn't mention the matter of losing the money, but kept emphasizing that he bought the ancient scriptures in order to let Qi Youming present it to the Queen Mother as a birthday present, which was out of filial piety.

In fact, Qi Lin seldom gambled at first, but a few days ago, he was drawn to it by some friends who usually spend time and wine together.

He was originally a person with a very good face, so he was naturally not to be outdone. He never expected that his luck would be so bad that he would lose every bet.But they all laughed at him, which made him dissatisfied, the more dissatisfied, the more he wanted to gamble.

Gambling and gambling, not only lost all his money, but also owed the casino 10 taels of silver.

Later, Qi Lin happened to meet an eminent monk who had returned from his wanderings, and learned that the eminent monk had an ancient scripture in his hand.He tried his best to get the eminent monk to agree to sell him the ancient scriptures. In order to buy the ancient scriptures, he went around looking for people to borrow money.

Qi Lin thought to himself, if you dedicate the ancient scriptures to the Queen Mother, the reward you will get will definitely be far more than the 20 taels you spent on buying the ancient scriptures.

He also wanted to secretly present it to the Empress Dowager so that he could take the reward for himself, but he didn't plan to present it on his birthday, and he didn't want Qi Youming to borrow flowers to offer Buddha.

As expected, Qi Youming believed Qi Lin's words, but he did not ignore Qi Lin's gambling because of this.

In these years, apart from the empty name of King Ding'an, he has made no achievements. With his little salary, he can only barely maintain the livelihood of the people in the palace, and there is no other way to make a fortune.

Therefore, 30 taels was a very large amount for him, and it was beyond what he could bear.

"No matter what, you have to discuss it with this king!" Qi Youming was so worried, but he couldn't bear to blame Qi Lin.

Seeing it in Qi Xuan's eyes, the smile on his lips became colder.

Meng Fuling was also furious. He is also a son, why is there such a big difference?

Meng Fuling knew the real situation of Ding'an Palace, if she guessed correctly, Qi Youming would ask Qi Xuan to help Qi Lin repay the debt next.

At this time, the steward came to report again: "My lord, those people are making noise outside, saying that if they don't pay back the money today, they will sue the emperor."

Qi Youming turned around anxiously, and finally walked up to Qi Xuan, and said in a natural tone: "You are the son of this king after all, and the mansion is not rich, so you should contribute some effort. The 30 silver is up to you. Send the outsiders away, and let's discuss your marriage."

Meng Fuling's eyes froze, and she glared angrily at Qi Youming, what a shameless old fellow!Not only did they want Qi Xuan to pay off their debts, but they were still thinking about Qi Xuan's marriage.

Qi Xuan's embrace of her waist became stronger and stronger, and his deep eyes were filled with an undetectable chill.

Meng Fuling really felt sorry for him. Just as she was about to speak, Qi Xuan burst out laughing as if hearing a big joke.

"King Ding'an really has a big tone. If you just say a word, I want the general to give you 30 taels to rescue you. Why?" Qi Xuan used the word "relief" with an insulting meaning.

Without waiting for Qi Youming to answer, he said sarcastically, "Don't say that you are my father, because we have long since had nothing to do with each other. Don't forget what you said when you threw this general into the barracks."

"Ni, Nizi!" Qi Youming pointed at Qi Xuan, his lips trembling, speechless.

Of course he remembered that not long after the death of Qi Xuan's mother Ye Shi, he continued to marry Fang Shi.

Fang Shi had just married into Ding'an Prince's Mansion, and she always had nightmares, so she invited eminent monks to come, and figured out that Qi Xuan was an unknown person, and she had a conflict with Fang Shi.

Because of this, Qi Youming gradually distanced himself from Qi Xuan, wishing he could act as if he didn't have this son. In order to stay away from Qi Xuan, he threw Qi Xuan into the army camp.

"What did you say at the time? You said that raising this general for so many years was considered as the utmost benevolence. From now on, this general's life and death has nothing to do with you." Qi Xuan said coldly what Qi Youming said back then.

Even though Meng Fuling had heard Qi Xuan talk about this past, and he told it again, it still made her heart ache.

Qi Youming is no longer a human being, he is not as good as a beast, who would say such heartless words to his own son?

"No matter what, you must take out 30 taels of silver today." Qi Youming's face turned pale, and he held back for a long time, still wanting to force Qi Xuan to take out 30 taels of silver.

Meng Fuling laughed angrily, she had finally seen the highest level of shamelessness, compared with Qi Youming, the best in the village before, Qi Youming could really afford the phrase 'Shameless people are invincible in the world'.

"King Ding'an, are you still shameless? You want to force Ah Xuan to hand out 30 taels of silver, why don't you go and rob the treasury, and come sooner."

"Shut up for me! You don't have a place to speak here." Qi Youming scolded, glaring at Meng Fuling viciously.

"The one who should shut up is you, you want this general to pay your debts for you, it's a dream!" Qi Xuan shouted angrily.

"Presumptuous! You rebellious bastard!" Qi Youming was so angry that he stretched out his hand to hit Qi Xuan.

But facing Qi Xuan's stern eyes and pressing aura, his hands were raised in the air, but he didn't dare to drop them.

Qi Lin also expected Qi Xuan to take out the money, and hurriedly grabbed Qi Youming's hand, "Father, calm down, calm down!"

Turning around, he said to Qi Xuan: "Brother, what are you going to do to pay? You keep saying that you have nothing to do with us, but your household registration is still tied to us, so you are a family with us, and your family is in trouble. , you just sit back and watch, it’s unreasonable.”

Meng Fuling thought, this Qi Lin is not stupid!And she is very cunning, knowing about moving out of Qi Xuan's household registration.

She was a little puzzled, how could a person like Qi Lin spend 20 taels of silver to buy some ancient scriptures even though he owed so much money from gambling?Maybe the people Qi Xuan found were too clever at deceiving people.

Qi Xuan ignored Qi Lin and didn't bother to continue entanglement with them, and said to Qi Youming in a cold voice: "This general will leave Ding'an Palace, and from now on, he will have nothing to do with Ding'an Palace!"

"Nizi, what did you say?" Qi Youming shouted angrily after hearing this.

He really wanted to pretend that he had never had Qi Xuan before, but these years, Qi Xuan has become more and more promising, so powerful that he has become the target of various forces vying to win him over.

With such a son, Qi Youming also gained a lot of glory. He was still thinking about how to gain benefits from Qi Xuan, how could he sever ties with Qi Xuan?

After Qi Lin heard this, he was overjoyed that Qi Xuan could help him repay the debt, and he no longer had to worry that Qi Xuan would come back and compete with him for the position of son.

In fact, Qi Lin's idea is very ridiculous. With Qi Xuan's current status, how could it be possible for Qi Xuan to fall into his eyes with the position of a mere prince and the empty shell of Ding'an Palace?

At this time, Qi Lin suppressed the ecstasy in his heart, and said angrily: "Father, since eldest brother is so heartless and doesn't bother to be your son, shall we go along with him?"

Meng Fuling wanted to slap Qi Lin on the face, this man is extremely shameless, it really disgusts her!
As soon as she had the thought of hitting someone, she raised her hand high and slammed it on Qi Lin's face.

Qi Lin was stunned by Meng Fuling's slap with all his strength. It was the sharp pain on his face that brought him back to his senses. He was furious, "Bitch! How dare you hit me? You want to die!"

He just raised his fist, but because of Qi Xuan's next words, his arrogance disappeared completely.

"If you dare to touch her, don't say 30 taels, it's just a copper coin. This general won't pay her, and it will make your death even worse!"
