Lonely King and Widow

Chapter 1267 The pit is 254 meters deep, something is not a good thing
Morning light dawned.

Before dawn, Hara and Lin had already started a new busy day.

Princess Ayigu wore a brand-new wide straight gown and a pendant, and entered the palace clangingly, startling the people in the palace who got up in the morning to be in a hurry, but she didn't want anyone to tell her, and went straight to Xiao Qianhe. Go to Jinle Courtyard where Mo Jiu lived.

At the gate of Jinle Courtyard, the person on duty is Chi Xi.

In addition, there are two little girls who obviously lack sleep.

Seeing His Highness the Eldest Princess approaching, Chi Xi didn't recognize her and was in a daze, but the two little girls stepped forward sensiblely and bowed on one knee to the Eldest Princess.

"All blessings, Your Royal Highness."

The two little girls were originally arranged by Ayigu, so they are naturally familiar with each other.Ayigu looked up at the quiet courtyard, frowned, and refused to let them get up, flicked his sleeves, and walked in.

"Where is your lord, have you gotten up yet?"

Hearing this tone, he seemed unhappy.

The two little girls lowered their heads, bit their lips and shook their heads.

There was a hint of shyness on that little face.

"Go back to Your Royal Highness, not yet."

This little expression fell into Ayigu's eyes, and she frowned even tighter.

What can make a little girl shy?It must be that Su He had a big fight with that woman named Mo Jiu last night. When they heard it outside, they were moved and shy, and Su He also delayed getting up in the morning.

Ayigu snorted, and stepped forward.

She really didn't take her son's place seriously.

But Kexi leaned over from the slanted stab and blocked her.

"Your Highness, you haven't reported to the prince yet, so you can't go in!"

How dare someone stand in her way?

Ayigu frowned.But looking at the young man in front of him who was wearing the armor of a servant, but whose eyebrows, eyes and mouth were more delicate and beautiful than a woman's, she was startled, her complexion eased a little, she pursed the corners of her red lips, and smiled faintly.

"newcomer?"

Chi Xi was born well, he is used to seeing other people's favorite eyes, and he is also a coquettish master, usually following Xiao Qian's side, Chuang Bei and others would let her go, and those who indulged her hardly suffered any hardships, yes A big person like the princess doesn't have a big concept-knows that she should be respected, but she doesn't have the kind of respect that the grassland nobles like Ayigu are used to.

"Yes, I came with my grandfather."

After a pause, without waiting for Ayigu to ask again, he raised his chin again.

"You are the biological mother of the master? Well, logically, I can't block your way. But the master has explained that no one can enter without his permission. This should include yours, right?"

He is different from the other two little girls in the palace. In his heart, only Xiao Qian's orders are orders, and anything anyone else says can be ignored.

Such an answer is in line with Kesai's personality.

He obviously offended the princess, but he asked her back in a serious manner. He looked very honest, and it didn't look like he was sincerely making things difficult, but it seemed that he was making things difficult for himself.

Ayigu looked at him carefully.

Slowly, a slight smile appeared on the corner of his lips.

"Okay, then go and report to your father to know."

"I can't report it." Chi Xi spoke quickly, and looked back at the closed door seriously, then lowered his voice, "Your Highness, I slept through last night, so I must not have had enough sleep now. You can't quarrel with him."

Sleep late?
Ayigu raised his eyebrows, displeased.

"What have you been doing? Why don't you go to bed early?"

Chi Xi thought for a while, rolled his eyelids up.

Then, I raised my two fingers and it was right...and right again.

"I didn't do anything else, just do that kind of embarrassing thing with Master Jiu."

The words "shameful things" made the little girls beside them blush uncontrollably. They lowered their heads and crossed their arms, pretending that they didn't hear them, and thought to themselves: This little guard is so brave, he dared to speak in front of the princess. With such words, I am not afraid to offend the princess.

But Kexi was too calm.

He was so calm that there was almost no trace of obscenity on his face.

...and Princess Ayigu seemed to have no intention of blaming him for his abruptness.

But they can't advance, they can't retreat, it's weird for a few people to freeze there, isn't it?
Ayigu flicked his sleeves, raised his head, and only looked at Chixi.

"How old are you?"

"I don't know." Chi Xi answered it as a matter of course.

"How come you don't know?" Ayigu looked up, as if interested.

"...My mother never told me."

"Oh? Why didn't I tell you."

"You have to ask my mother about this."

"Where is your mother...?"

"died."

It would not be surprising if such a meaningless conversation happened to other people, but if one of them is Princess Ayigu of Beimeng, then it would be a different matter——

At this time, not only the two little girls, but also the nanny and the two girls who came with the eldest princess were very surprised to see their noble princess "chatting" with a guard.

The light in those eyes flickered.

It was as if they had never known the princess at all.

"Okay, now you can report."

With a smile on his face, Ayigu suddenly changed his subject and said to Kexi with a smile.

"Why?" Chi Xi was no longer afraid of the eldest princess.

He didn't know how abnormal Ayigu's appearance was. He thought she was such an amiable person. Not only was he no longer afraid of her, but from the expression on her face, he seemed to have a little more affection for her, and felt that her family It is indeed very lucky for the Lord to recognize such a mother.

"Because they're up."

After Ayigu finished speaking with a smile, Kexi looked back, and sure enough, he heard movement in the room.After thinking about it, she felt that the eldest princess was not bad, and she couldn't neglect her too much, so she said oh, nodded, trotted a few steps, walked to the door of Xiao Qian's room, and knocked on the door.

"My lord, Your Highness the Eldest Princess, please see me. It's been a long time, did you see me?"

She didn't know the eldest princess's status in Beimeng at all, but it was this simple, almost silly ignorance that always turned danger into luck.A quarter of an hour later, when Princess Ayigu saw Xiao Qian who was fully dressed in the main hall of Jinle Yuan, the first thing she said was to ask him.

"Where did you get that little guard of yours?"

Xiao Qian guessed that Chi Xi was in trouble again, but he remained calm.

"Returning to my mother, he is from Nanrong, and he was with me when we were in Yinshan."

"Oh?" Ayi Guyi was a little surprised, and raised his eyebrows, "Beimeng speaks very well."

"Yes." Xiao Qian didn't take it seriously, his face was very flat, "The people who follow me must learn from it."

Ayigu seems very satisfied with his approach of not forgetting his roots.

With a light grunt, she turned her head to look at Chi Xi standing outside the door, a smile appeared on her brow, but she stopped talking about it, and she didn't show any interest in Chi Xi in front of Xiao Qian, she only screened back left and right, Then he tightened his expression.

"I spoke to the Great Khan last night."

Xiao Qian was not surprised, but there was still a trace of tension on his face intentionally.

"Does the Khan agree?"

"I see you are in a hurry." Ayigu cast a sharp glance at him, raised his hand and took a sip of tea from the teacup, his brows tightened again.He pondered, thought, and then sighed heavily.Seeing that Xiao Qian seemed to be more nervous than before, Fang raised his eyebrows again, as if deliberately teasing his appetite, he opened his mouth slowly.

"How dare Aunt not care about your affairs? But what Da Khan said, Aunt thinks it is very good."

This time, Xiao Qian didn't ask Meng He what he said.

He just decorated his expression with emotions, looking at Ayigu without blinking.

But every mother probably likes her son to look at her so engrossed, right?

How tame it looks.

Ayigu's complexion looked a little better again, that face that was specially dressed up today was filled with a loving mother's smile.

"Su He, Da Khan has given me the truth this time, and he intends to use you."

To use him, Xiao Qian already knew about this without Ayigu telling.

If it weren't for the Monan affairs, would he be a white-collar worker?
Of course, the homework he did was not in vain, what he wanted was this effect.

Ayigu still said: "You may not know that Beimeng intended to go south when the emperor was still there. But at that time, Beimeng was in chaos and its internal affairs were unstable. Meng and Nan Rong also maintained an ally relationship. But the former emperor passed away, and Xin Khan was an ambitious man. He sent Wu Lie to the west, but the south did not want to let it go. I asked you to lead the affairs of Monan before. I intend to give you a chance."

Speaking of this, a dark light flashed in her eyes.

Menghe is not a kind person, Ayigu has been in Beimeng for a long time, how could he not know about it?She glanced at Su He, as if she wanted to mention something to her son, but she swallowed the words suddenly.

Thinking about Su He's new arrival, it's better to let him pick up these scheming palaces by himself.If everything is pointed out by his mother, in the future, if she is not around, how will he deal with himself?Besides, her elder son looked at the arrogant and said little, compared to the younger son Wu Rigen, his thoughts were much deeper.

...and even look a little cold.

Even if he didn't show it, how can Yiaigu's shrewdness be completely fooled?

His affection for her was far inferior to that of Mo Jiu.

This made Ayigu feel a little sour and even more guilty.

If he hadn't lost his mother's love since childhood, how could he have become such a heartless person?

A child who has lived away from his relatives since he was a child must have already experienced hardships.She thought that he would not need too much advice from her about Menghe's matter.If Suhe can't even understand these things, how can she rest assured that he will lead the army to break through in the future?

Complicated emotions made her look at Xiao Qian with mixed light and dark eyes, making it difficult to see through.

Xiao Qian looked back at her with indifferent eyes, as if he hadn't noticed her emotional fluctuations.

"Mother, the Great Khan was at the banquet yesterday, didn't he say he was going to compete for general selection?"

Ayigu laughed, "Silly boy, that was just for everyone to see. Of course, it's not all. With the competition, it will be easier to see your ability. After all... it's all just flattering words, sir. Khan may not believe everything. Khan is willing to use you, but he is not willing to use a mediocre person."

The corner of Xiao Qian's lips smiled.

"Mother said so."

"Ah!" Ayigu sighed in relief, "Fortunately, Nashun has lived up to my entrustment, and has raised you well these years. A Niang has confidence in Nashun, and she also has confidence in you... as a big Khan intends to cultivate it, so my son should not take this kindness."

Xiao Qian slightly closed his eyes.

He didn't know whether Ayigu had a lot of mutual use with Menghe, or whether he really wanted to assist him in governing the country, so he nodded in agreement.

then.

Seeing that Ayigu never mentioned anything about him and Mo Jiu, he couldn't help frowning again.

"Mother, the Great Khan's concern for my marriage..."

"Ugh!"

Ayigu sighed heavily again.

"My son is a person who values ​​love and righteousness. I don't know if she has the same heart with you..."

Xiao Qian didn't answer or argue.In this case, talking too much would easily arouse Ayigu's rebellious heart towards Mo Jiu.The more he thinks Mo Jiu is good, the more she thinks Mo Jiu is bad.

So, he was silent.

In silence, Dark Band persisted.

really--

After a moment of stagnation, Ayigu finally eased his tone.

"My son can rest assured, Da Khan has already accepted it."

Xiao Qian knew that Meng He would not refuse, but there was a hint of surprise on his face.He even stood up excitedly and saluted Ayigu cautiously.

"Son, thank you mother."

"Don't thank me in a hurry." Ayigu pressed the palm of his hand and signaled him to sit down. There was a trace of gloom on his face, as if he wanted to say something but couldn't get it out of his mouth. He frowned and thought for a while, then said again: "The Great Khan said, now that Beimeng is in the preliminary stage, everything has not yet been sorted out, and now it is a bit of an upside-down when it comes to marriage, it is better to wait for the results of the general election to come out, firstly, I can appoint a farewell party for you, and secondly, I will arrange your wedding , that is double happiness, and it will save others from talking."

After a pause, her tone became a little unhappy again.

"After all, Mo Jiu's reputation is not good. My son must give A Niang some time to slow down and appease the rumors, and wait for the matter to pass before thinking about it."

That being said, it seems reasonable.

It's not that I don't want to, it's that the time is not enough.

Xiao Qian's original consideration was nothing more than this.

What is needed is to inform Menghe and Ayigu in advance, so as not to embarrass each other in the future.So, he frowned hesitantly and agreed.

"That's fine too."

The mother and son were exchanging greetings, when Ayigu raised her eyes, she suddenly saw the curtain of the inner hall move, she seemed to think of something, coughed lightly, and then aimed at Xiao Qian again.

"My son is used to living a life of his own way in Yinshan, and my mother knows it. But it's different now. When you arrive in Hala and Lin, you have to pay more attention to your words and deeds. You and Mo Jiu are not married yet, so you should not live together It’s good. Also, like today, if the sun is three poles and you can’t get up, if this word gets out, how bad will it be? How can the sweat use you?”

You cannot live together if you are not married.

In fact, Xiao Qian also thinks so in his heart...

But maybe it's because of being with Mo Jiu for too long, some concepts were slowly assimilated by her, even a little ahead of her time, including the concept of "like to sleep together", he has been from the beginning He firmly opposed her, but later slowly accepted it, and now, even if Mo Jiu wanted to leave, he still couldn't bear to let her go...

Someone who died once.

And experienced too many dangers.

He and Mo Jiu now have such views.

Today they are like walking a tightrope on the edge of a cliff. In the blink of an eye, they may fall into the bottomless abyss. No one knows whether the end of life will be later than tomorrow's sun...

If today is the last day of your life, but you are not with the one you love, you will die and feel regretful.

Since everyone is still alive, they want to be together. Other people's words and thoughts are not important to them. The important thing is that they feel happy with each other. Every day when they open their eyes, they can see the person they love By your side, with the one you love, accompanied by morning bells and evening drums, live one day after another, slowly moving towards a long and long life, that is the real life for yourself.

These were instilled in him by Mo Jiu subtly.

I don't know when, he no longer cares about other people's ideas.

There is only Mo Jiu who can make him feel satisfied and nervous.

I thought so in my heart, but how could he say it to Ayigu?

Slightly lowering his eyes, he also raised the teacup to cover up the fluttering in his heart before replying.

"My son understands, just listen to my mother's teachings."

"Oh!" Ayigu stood up slowly, and glanced at the curtain again, "I don't think your thoughts are here anymore, so A Niang will not bother you, so you can take care of yourself." After finishing speaking, she said He was about to leave, but just as soon as he took a step, he seemed to think of something suddenly, and turned his gaze back to Xiao Qian's unmasked face, with a look of great pity in his gaze.

"There are two more things to tell you."

"Mother, please tell me." Xiao Qian's attitude was very respectful.

"Do you still care about what Namuhan said yesterday? He may bring Lu Ji over to see you in a while. The old man Lu Ji, my son must also know that he is a famous and promising doctor with excellent medical skills. , you must remember to listen to him."

When talking about Namkhan, Xiao Qian clearly noticed the depression between her brows.

But it flashed by, barely caught, and disappeared in an instant.

She added: "Another thing, my son has to be mentally prepared. Da Khan mentioned it to me yesterday. Since the emperor was seriously ill, the clansmen have not been able to hunt for a long time. Da Khan wants to organize clansmen in the near future. The ministers are hunting, and the list will be drawn up in these two days, and you may be included."

Hunting is a custom of Beimeng people for generations. In addition to being a supplementary method of military training, hunting can also be used to alleviate the consumption and shortage of poultry.There are many folk hunters in late autumn and early winter.As for the royal family, there will be one or two large-scale hunting almost every year, usually between the end of autumn and early winter, and there will be no more hunting in spring when the animals are breeding season.

Hunting is a big deal.

Of course, there are more considerations in Menghe's arrangement of this hunt...

In addition to easing the tension among the clan, there may be other political plots.

Xiao Qian frowned and considered for a moment, then handed Ayigu out.

At the door, Chi Xi rushed up to meet him, and completely opened the half-closed door.

Ayigu looked sideways, took another deep look at her, and left without hesitation.

When she walked away, Chi Xi patted his chest, stuck out his tongue at Xiao Qian, and followed him into the main hall.

"My lord, you scared me to death! Fortunately, your mother treats people well, and she doesn't have the prestige of a princess, otherwise Chi Xi will be condemned..."

Before she could finish speaking, the curtain of the main hall swung open.

Mo Jiu came out slowly, sat on the chair Xiao Qian had been sitting in without panic, looked at Chi Xi with a half-smile, picked up Xiao Qian's tea and drank it.

"Then don't get complacent too early. It may not be a good thing if you don't commit a crime."
