Reborn Totalitarian Queen

Chapter 194 Chopped off her hand for me! (2)
The two of them will appear here, they clearly calculated the time when Duanmuqi entered the city, and waited here on purpose, but what Song Chuxi didn't expect was that she had been away from Beijing for a few years, and the open and secret fighting between the royal princes had evolved. It's much more intense than it was back then.These two brothers, they are so unwilling to give in to each other in the street.

"It's indeed a coincidence. Speaking of which, it's my honor. Before entering Beijing, I ran into the two Highnesses here first." Duanmuqi watched the excitement for a long time from the side, and at this time, he smiled and made up his mind.

This man's appearance is really outstanding, especially the wanton smile that can dazzle people's eyes.

Yin Hua was only concerned with fighting with Yin Liang just now, and now he began to look at him carefully, but was stunned for a while, before saying, "This is the Patriarch Duanmu?"

Duanmu Qi and him nodded politely, then turned their eyes to look in the direction of the inner city, and said with a smile: "Those are the adults who came to pick us up, right?"

Everyone followed the prestige, and not long after, an official from the Ministry of Rituals came in a hurry with a team of entourage.

"I have seen His Highness King Huai, His Highness King Chen, Patriarch Duanmu forgive me, I just got the news of your coming to Beijing, I was ordered to come here, but you came late, please don't be offended by your negligence." The official got off his horse quickly salute.

"It's because my schedule is rushed, it's okay!" Duanmuqi said lightly.

Yin Liang originally had something to say, but now because of Yin Hua's presence, he turned cold-faced.

Yin Hua fiddled with the horsewhip in his hand, and glanced at the official, "Where did you arrange the residence for Patriarch Duanmu?"

"In the post house in the west of the city." The official replied.

Yin Hua smiled, and looked back at Duanmu Qi, "I happen to be fine right now, but I need me to send Patriarch Duanmu over? Have a drink by the way?"

What he meant was what Yin Shao meant.

The intention of this temptation and closeness is very obvious.

"Your Highness is kind, of course it's good, but today is not convenient, let's try another day." Duanmu Qi didn't change his face, and when he spoke, he glanced sideways at himself behind him.

At this time Song Chuxi also woke up, just sitting at the table drinking tea with his back to the door.

Yin Hua, Yin Liang and the others all looked over suspiciously, and Duanmu Qi didn't care what they meant, so he just clasped his hands together, "I'll pay a visit to the two highnesses some other day, and I'll go ahead today, so farewell !"

He turned around and returned to the car. The official who came to greet him carefully saluted Yin Liang before remounting his horse and leading the convoy into the city.

Yin Hua only waited for the convoy to leave, and immediately rode into the city without saying hello to Yin Liang.

"Young Lord Duanmu really has a unique style of conduct." After he had gone far, Liang Gang, Yin Liang's entourage, said, "It stands to reason that this is the first time he has come to Beijing to participate in the court celebration. He should be If you report your travel date to the imperial court in advance, His Majesty will definitely arrange officials to welcome you as a show of courtesy. This can be regarded as a disguised way to rectify his name and build momentum. However, this patriarch did not say anything to anyone, just being so silent Came without a breath."

"Don't you understand?" Yin Liang stared at the direction of the convoy, and said coolly, "This Duanmuqi is not a thing in the pond. Originally, the heads of the major families in Nantang were not included in the regular establishment of the imperial court." Officials, over the years, although they have obeyed the control of the imperial court, and the imperial court has been subtly and gradually trying to manipulate the replacement of their previous patriarchs, in fact, the real decision-making power is still in their own hands. Duanmuqi just recently Taking over the position of the Patriarch of the Duanmu Family, according to what you said, he should indeed take this opportunity to go to Beijing to make a big splash for himself, and regard this as a supreme honor, but he just came so silently , do you think he is very low-key and humble in dealing with things?"

"Don't you think so, Your Highness?" Liang Gang frowned puzzled.

"If he is really low-key and modest, how dare he not get out of the car and greet us when he met me and the fourth child just now?" Yin Liang said disapprovingly, sniffing out a sneer, "This man's Acting, not only is not low-key, but high-profile to the extreme. From my king's point of view, the reason why he didn't go to Beijing with great fanfare was to give the imperial court a blow. From your point of view, he can be the head of the Duanmu family. The throne is a great honor, but he used this method to tell all of us that the position of the Patriarch of the Duanmu family is as simple as picking something out of a pocket in his opinion, and it is not worthy of his publicity at all."

Whether it was Song Yaqing back then or Duanmu Yang later, when they came to Beijing for the first time after taking over the power of the family, they would make a lot of pomp and establish a good relationship with the imperial court in advance to let the world affirm their status.

But the new head of the Duanmu family didn't care about these at all, because he was confident enough that he was the best candidate to control the Duanmu family, and there was no need to recreate this situation at all.

This person, at such a young age, is already so arrogant.

Thinking about it, Liang Gang couldn't help but frowned a little, "In this way, it may not be easy for Your Highness to win him over."

"I don't care about this." Yin Liang hooked his lips when he heard this, and casually shook the whip in his hand, "There is a rift between the Tang family and the Wu family and the Duanmu family, which is enough to drag the second child This king is just curious today, so I came here to see who is the young master Duanmu who took down the Duanmu family with thunderous means, and as for whether to win him over to form an alliance—"

As Yin Liang spoke, he shook his head and smiled, then rode forward, "There's no rush for this matter, let's talk about it later."

From these two superficial negotiations, it can be seen that Duanmuqi is not someone who can be manipulated casually. In fact, he will be waiting here today. He was really trying to get ahead of Yin Shao and win over this person first. But Yin Liang changed his mind immediately after seeing Duanmu Qi.

Judging from this person's personality, it should be very difficult to win over him in an all-round way. If one fails, the loss outweighs the gain.

So, don't do such a thankless thing.

Fortunately, there are many loopholes between Duanmu's family and Yin Shao's party that can be exploited. In all likelihood, Duanmuqi will not side with Yin Shao, and that's enough.
