Zheshu

Chapter 106

In the study room, the atmosphere was very dull, and the fifth concubine sitting at the bottom couldn't help but finally opened her mouth: "My lord, do you really mean that when you say the emperor and empress?"

Ji Kang didn't speak. If you want to say that in the past thousands of years, you have never seen a young and powerful emperor abdicate. Moreover, Ji Wuhuan has just pacified the Great Wei. Although there is still a Mongolia to be resolved, it should not be difficult. Why would he give way to himself?Could it be that he really doesn't love this splendid country?

Ji Kang didn't believe it, even though he was taught not to fight for the throne when he was a child, when he tasted the taste of peak power, he would also be fascinated. How could Ji Wuhuan not want it?
"What else did the queen say?" Ji Kang asked.

The Fifth Concubine shook her head: "I didn't say much, but the concubine saw what she meant, she really meant that the concubine would take that seat in the future, and when all the officials went to see her today, she seemed to be implying that sooner or later this would happen The seat will be yours."

Ji Kangding stared at his concubine, she was always smart and cautious, she would not make wild guesses, and with Ji Wuhuan's words, it seemed that she really wanted to pull herself into that position.

He couldn't figure it out, but he felt that Ji Wuhuan had no reason to kill him, so he got up and walked slowly to the door, opened the door and looked outside, only to realize that it was dark, and a bright moon rose into the sky, round and round. Clear, without a trace of impurities.

He sighed softly, and said: "The Sacred Heart is unpredictable. Now the emperor has asked me to deal with the Mongolian matter, so let's do it first. If there is something wrong, just withdraw your hand. You have time to go to the palace." Walking around here, you don't need to find out what the empress is saying, but just see how the palace people treat you."

If Ji Wuhuan really intends to cede the throne to him, and the empress knows about it, the palace people must have sensed something, and they must be able to see something if they observe more when they enter the palace.

The fifth princess nodded quickly: "The concubine understands."

Under the night, Shen Qing had a great time today, Zheng Luo and Zhang Xiaofang also went home, and Yuan Ye really got the pot of medicinal wine, but generously gave it to Zheng Luo to take it back for research.

On the carriage, Shen Qing looked at An An, who was sleeping in Ji Wuhuan's arms with a blushing face, and slowly leaned her head on his shoulder, and said with a soft smile: "In the future, if the family can be together every day, How nice it would be to be together and not ask about worldly affairs."

"Yes." Ji Wuhuan looked at her sideways, with a trace of tenderness floating on his face.

Shen Qing thought of the fifth concubine whom she had met during the day, and smiled: "They still don't believe it, what should I do?"

"It doesn't matter." Ji Wuhuan kissed her forehead lightly before continuing: "Ji Kang has this ambition, as long as I see his ability, this person will naturally give it to him, and he will not refuse, next you What I want to think about is where we will go after we leave the palace."

When Shen Qing heard this question, she really thought about it seriously. If she was talking about where to go, she wanted to go back to Shen's house first.

"Let's go back to Shen's house, shall we?" she asked.

Ji Wuhuan smiled: "Okay, you can go wherever you say, take An'an and Xiaofu with you, maybe you can have a few more."

Shen Qing: "..."

The wheels of the carriage pressed against the bluestone road, making continuous noises, which were especially clear in the quiet night, and it fell into Shen Qing's ears, and it became a pleasant piece of music.

An An seemed to have dreamed of something delicious, she pouted her mouth, grinned stupidly, turned over, found a more comfortable position in Ji Wuhuan's arms and fell asleep again, Shen Qing looked at the side The person and the lovely child in his arms are like a layer of icing sugar, sweet and pleasing to the eye.

Back in the palace, the two hugged each other and fell asleep, and the next two days passed peacefully until Hu and Lu entered the capital.

Shen Qing didn't bother about Hu and Lu's affairs, but Xia Rao brought some news when she entered the palace.

"It was Hu and Lu who were picked up by the fifth prince himself, and they were placed in the palace." Xia Rao brought a basket of cakes from Yunguifang. The cakes in Yunguifang are different from those made in the palace. Well, An An especially likes it.

Ming Rou took the pastries and sent them to An An's side hall, before Shen Qing led Xia Rao to sit in the gazebo outside.

Xiaofu was also carried out by the nanny. Xiaofu grew up very fast. Looking at his physique, he seemed to be bigger than An An. The nanny was playing with Xiaofu while Shen Qing and Xia Rao were in the pavilion. say.

"Is there any news about Yeluhan?" Shen Qing asked.

Xia Rao laughed when she mentioned this: "The Fifth Prince has an idea, he was not in a hurry to arrest people, he simply withdrew all the people, and when they entered the capital today, he just watched them quietly, waiting for them to settle down in the palace." After all, Yeluhan was not served by Hu Helu, and the arrest was done quietly, so no one knew."

"Caught it?"

"Well, I caught it, and there was no commotion. The fifth prince has made enough preparations this time. He spent so long just to catch him alone. If there is still a big commotion, then it's unreasonable. But at the palace banquet tomorrow, I think Hu and Lu will find an excuse to ask for someone." Xia Rao worried, and Ye Luhan didn't know whether he was acting on a whim or was bewitched by others. There is still danger.

Shen Qing smiled, but she didn't worry about it anymore.

Just as he was talking, someone came to say that the fifth princess had arrived.

Xia Rao was surprised; "What you said before, can't be true." Really let this person out.

Shen Qing smiled and nodded: "Of course it's true. Wu Huan and I have already agreed that we are going to travel around the world. The world is so big, and I haven't been to many places yet." Trapped in one place for so many years, if If she hadn't been taken away before, she might have been trapped in Dawei and the capital for the rest of her life.

Xia Rao's eyes also lit up: "If you want to leave, you have to take us with you. The little princess and the prince are still young, so how can we do without a doctor by our side."

Shen Qing looked at her with a smile: "I hope you and Zheng Luo can live a good life."

"How does Your Majesty know that we are not living a good life with you?" She rubbed her stomach a little shyly: "When the time comes to travel around the world, buy a villa and a few hundred acres of land, it's not bad to be a landlord."

Shen Qing looked at her belly and said happily: "You are also pregnant, right?"

"I just found out, it's only been a month, it doesn't matter." Xia Rao smiled, but she was happy and satisfied in her heart. Seeing that An An is so cute, why doesn't she want a cute and well-behaved child, and she is still with Zheng Luo of.

Shen Qing was overjoyed and hurriedly sent people to prepare the reward.Just as he was talking, the fifth princess had arrived.

She was dressed up grandly today, wearing a palace skirt with emerald green sleeves and embroidered lotus flowers, a piece of high-quality sapphire in the shape of Ruyi hanging around her waist, and a set of golden hairpins embedded with green crystals, making her even more luxurious and dignified , Walking, the hem of the clothes only swayed slightly, watching it made people feel a little awe.

When she saw Shen Qing, she walked over quickly, but when she saw that she was only wearing a long red dress, and her hair was simply tied up in a bun, it was very simple, and she blushed suddenly, and hurriedly saluted: "I have seen the empress. "

Shen Qing stood up and helped her up, and Xia Rao followed suit.

The fifth princess smiled and asked her to get up, but seeing her respectful look, remembering her relationship with Shen Qing, she silently remembered her attitude in her heart.

"What are you talking to Mrs. Zheng? You are so happy." The fifth princess sat on the side and smiled.

Shen Qing looked at Xia Rao and smiled lightly: "Madam Zheng is pregnant, I'm thinking of giving her something."

The fifth concubine was startled when she saw that she called herself 'I', and hurriedly echoed: "I just got pregnant, a picture of a hundred sons and thousands of grandchildren, or Guanyin giving off a child, are all very good."

Shen Qing slapped her head and nodded hurriedly: "It's still the fifth sister who understands that I really can't handle these things. It would be great if I rewarded the money directly. She will come to ask for the reward in the future and send a hundred and ten taels of silver. If there is anything missing, I can buy it myself." Just fine."

Shen Qing's words provoked the ladies in the court to laugh, and Ming Rou refilled her cup of tea before saying: "If this is the case, it will save trouble for your empress, and Mrs. Zheng will also save trouble. If it is other ladies, what can I do?" Well, I thought you didn't value them."

The fifth princess naturally took the words and said with a smile: "Since it is treated fairly, everyone is given money, so how can there be any disregard?"

Ming Rou paused for a moment, then laughed: "The concubine is still smart, but this slave girl can't move her mind."

"That can't be done. I don't change my mind all day long. If you don't turn it around for me, we will completely destroy this harem in the future." Shen Qing joked.

Ming Rou hurriedly admitted her mistake with a smile, and the maids beside her knew that Shen Qing had a good temper, so they all laughed too.

The fifth concubine watched from the side, and was very shocked in her heart. The empress did not seem to regard this place as a majestic and noble harem at all, and she was very approachable when talking to the servants, and she let the maids laugh, as if she regarded this place as a majestic and noble harem at all. Treat it as your own back house.

While talking, An An had already returned from school, first went back to the side hall to eat pastries, and then obediently came over.

"Mother!" An An ran over with her calves, and her eyes lit up when she saw Xia Rao coming.

Shen Qing watched the lumpy An An running towards her, narrowed her eyes with a smile and said in a low voice: "This kid is so fat, what if he can't marry a wife in the future."

The fifth concubine was stunned, and confirmed that this queen really did not have the airs of a queen at all, let alone majesty. Even the little prince only called her mother instead of queen mother. Could it be true that the Zen position is true?

The fifth princess was a little excited, but she was someone who had seen the storm, except for the slight emotional fluctuations in her eyes, she didn't show a single point on her face, she just smiled and said: "The prince is like you and the emperor, and he will definitely be Lan Zhi in the future." People in Yushu, how can you worry about not being able to marry a wife, your empress is too worried."

Shen Qing chuckled: "I'm afraid that this kid is too fat and will destroy the good looks his parents gave him."

Xia Rao smiled and said, "If you say that about the little prince, what if he finds out when he grows up?"

"I won't know. If you don't tell me, I won't tell you. Where did he know?" After Shen Qing finished speaking, An An just ran to the side, and said with a smile: "Mother, what are you talking about?"

"Of course I'm praising An An for studying hard today, so good." Shen Qing pinched An An's chubby face with a smile, feeling so good.

An An bowed her eyes and nodded: "An An is a good boy, I will definitely learn to write from my master in the future."

"Okay." Shen Qing nodded, picked a fruit from the table and stuffed it into his mouth.

The sun is good today, and the few people sitting in the pavilion don't feel cold, but Xia Rao got up to leave after talking for a while, and she still has to arrange the marriage of the Nine Princes' Mansion.

The Fifth Princess saw that Shen Qing was only focused on teasing the child, and she wanted to test it out, but remembering what Ji Kang had said before leaving, she endured it again.

Little Fuxu was hungry, so after crying for a while, the grandma hugged her and rested, but An An, who was very energetic, was hugged by Shen Qing, and the mother and son leisurely basked in the sun and peeled peanuts, An An is in charge of peeling, and Shen Qing is in charge of eating.

The fifth concubine accompanied her all the way, and did not get up to say goodbye until it was getting late.

Before leaving, Shen Qing also said: "If the fifth brother and sister have nothing to do, come and take a walk."

Seeing her sincere smile, the fifth princess was filled with emotion, she nodded, and hurried back.

An An smiled and looked at her: "Mother, when shall we go out to play again?"

Shen Qing smiled: "Hurry up, soon mother will take you to see your grandmother and grandfather." If they are still there.

Now the Shen family is the only wound in her heart, but when she thinks that she will be able to go back soon, her heart is at ease again.

Later, Ji Wuhuan also came back, had dinner, played with An An for a while, and then fell asleep with her in his arms.

The palace is peaceful, but no one outside the palace can sleep peacefully. The threshold of the Fifth Prince's Mansion is about to be broken, because everyone has heard the news from the palace, and now the matter of receiving foreign kings has also been entrusted to The fifth prince arranged, isn't this a firm deal?

It's just that the threshold is broken, but the protagonist Ji Kang is not in the mansion, but in the dungeon.

After Yeluhan was arrested, he didn't say a word, even if he was whipped and burned, he didn't open his mouth at all.

Ji Kang looked at him who was thrown into the cell with a cold expression, and said coldly: "Is it true that no one else ordered you to assassinate the empress?"

"So what if you order it? I am the general of Mongolia. If you dare to arrest me like this, you are fighting against Mongolia. Do you think I am a coward in Mongolia?" Yeluhan sneered sarcastically.

Ji Kang snorted coldly: "If you, the Mongol king, hadn't acquiesced, how do you think I captured you?"

Yeluhan's expression froze, and he looked at him: "Impossible!"

"You are already in my prison. How could he not have noticed your disappearance for so long? Since he found you disappeared, why hasn't anyone come to question me for so long? Yeluhan, do you really think that Hu and Lu Will I still protect you?" Ji Kang said.

Yeluhan gritted his teeth and didn't believe in Ji Kang at all, but he still couldn't help becoming suspicious.At the beginning, when Hu and Lu knew that their assassination of Shen Qing had been revealed, they planned to hand them over. Later, they reached an agreement with him that as long as he could really kill Shen Qing and make Ji Wuhuan feel miserable, they would take the opportunity to send troops to attack him. After going down to the Great Wei, he resumed his position as a general. How could he give up on himself before the plan started?

Looking at the emotional changes on his face, Ji Kang knew that he believed him, and said coldly: "If you don't tell me, I will know, but this person seems to make you a scapegoat."

"Impossible!" Yeluhan yelled, staggered to the edge of the cell and slammed on the cell door: "You don't have to force me to say anything here, you dare to capture the Mongolian general like this, just wait for the Mongolian iron cavalry to step on it!" Ping Da Wei!"

He had just finished speaking when a servant hurriedly ran outside: "Fifth Prince, there is news."

Ji Kang glanced at him, then looked back at Yeluhan, and said calmly, "Say."

"Yes." The attendant responded, and said: "The Mongolian leader has agreed to conclude a treaty with Wei, and will not invade Wei within 30 years."

"How is it possible!" Yeluhan asked incredulously, Hu and Lu had said before that they would conquer the Great Wei, so why did they conclude a treaty now.

Ji Kang chuckled: "Tell me what your original plan was, maybe I can give you a chance to question Hu and Lu, how about it?"

"Don't even think about it." Yeluhan yelled coldly, he was not as smart as Ji Kang, even though he felt that Ji Kang's questioning was a ghost, but his heart was filled with the anger of Hu and Lu's agreement.

Seeing that his mouth was stiff, Ji Kang didn't force it: "Come here, you don't need to stay here." After finishing speaking, he turned and left without any attachment.

Yeluhan gritted his teeth, seeing that he really left like this, after thinking about it, he stopped him: "Wait!"

"Want to talk?"

"Will you really let me out?" Yeluhan questioned.

Ji Kang just smiled lightly: "Do you think you still have a chance to choose?"

Yeluhan's fists were pounding, "Okay, I can tell you..."

Ji Kang raised his eyebrows slightly, and turned to look at the attendant: "Go and report to the emperor." As long as they have the handle of Hu and Lu, they are not afraid that he will dare to ask their dignitaries tomorrow. If you don't want to sign, you have to sign.

The attendant also sighed in his heart for Ji Kang's cunning trick. First, he tortured Yeluhan until he had no strength, and then played a scene in front of him, forcing him to be angry, so as to lure him into the bait.

The night passed, and when Shen Qing woke up, the people around her were still soundly asleep.

She cautiously pressed a kiss on his soft lips. Seeing his eyelashes move slightly, she slightly raised the corners of her lips.

Ji Wuhuan didn't even open her eyes, so she raised her hand and pulled her into her arms, and asked in a low voice, "Can't sleep?"

"It's dawn, Your Majesty, it's time to go up." Shen Qing said with a smile, seeing his distinct Adam's apple, raised her finger to poke it, Ji Wuhuan couldn't help laughing, opened her eyes and lowered her head to catch it her small mouth.

After some lingering, Shen Qing opened her mouth and panted slightly: "Did you wake up a long time ago?"

"When did I wake up later than my wife?" Ji Wuhuan joked.

Shen Qing remembered the lethargy some time ago, she smiled and said nothing.

There was a palace maid outside knocking on the door, Ji Wuhuan responded, and then stood up alone, not forgetting to wrap Shen Qing tightly in the quilt: "It's cold outside, get up later."

"I wake up so late every day, I don't look like a queen anymore." Shen Qing looked at him with her head stretched out, watching him put on clothes one by one, and then raised her hands to comb her hair herself, her eyes were full of love.

Ji Wuhuan looked at her, then walked over, slightly leaned over and kissed her gently on the lips, and said with a smile: "Tonight Hu and Lu Palace Banquet, do you want to go?"

"Can I not go?"

"Of course, you are the most important thing. It's boring to control the banquet. After we're done, we can pack up and go." Ji Wuhuan said with a smile.

Shen Qing sat up from the bed in surprise and circled his neck: "Did Ji Kang pass your assessment?"

"He's not bad, it's no problem to guard the country." Ji Wuhuan laughed.

Shen Qing happily hugged him, and rubbed her small face against his already stubbled face: "Then I will start tidying up today."

"Don't be too obvious." Ji Wuhuan gently instructed.

Shen Qing nodded like a pest, Ji Wuhuan looked at Shen Qing who looked more and more like a child, and felt more and more happy in her heart, maybe this is the most real her.

Thinking of the way she read love poems to herself before, isn't she just a naughty child.

Ji Wuhuan hurriedly made her lie down, and then went out and asked the maids to come in later to serve her, and then left.

Wrapped in a warm quilt, Shen Qing looked at the bead curtain shaking when he left, her lips curled up high.

But she knew that today she shouldn't be too happy today, because she couldn't wait to get up in the morning, but she ate the cold air, and it didn't take long for her to catch the wind and cold.

In the afternoon, she was pinned down on the bed by Ming Rou, and Zheng Luo felt relieved after taking her pulse and prescribing medicine.

An An couldn't come to see him these two days, fearing that he would infect him with a cold, so he simply asked Zheng Luo to take him with him and throw him to the Nine Princes Mansion to play.

An An played very well with Zhang Xiaofang, Zhang Xiaofang was informal, and took him to play with some novel things all day long, just like the two are now playing with a fighting cock bought from the market.

Ji Rui looked helplessly at the man who was squatting in the yard watching the cockfight, and now Mr. Zhang stood behind him and patted him on the shoulder earnestly: "Be patient, in a few decades, you will all be reduced to ashes. Don't worry about it anymore."

Ji Rui was dumbfounded.

An An was playing, and suddenly stared at Zhang Xiaofang's stomach: "Auntie, do you have a baby in your stomach?"

Zhang Xiaofang was startled for a moment, then remembered Ji Rui's album seized earlier, her face flushed immediately, and she stammered, "Who is talking nonsense."

An An squinted her small eyes and giggled, and said in a milky voice: "No one said, it was only my mother who gave birth to a younger sister, and Aunt Xia Rao was pregnant again. An An thought, is this the same as my mother's wind and cold? It's contagious."

Zhang Xiaofang understood his words, coughed twice, and shook her head solemnly: "No."

"Then how?"

This is difficult for her, she is still a big girl, even if she knows, she will definitely say she doesn't know.

But looking at An An's thirsty eyes, he said: "When you grow up, you will kiss a girl."

"Ah!" An An looked puzzled: "Uncle Jiuhuang hasn't kissed you yet."

An An's voice was not low, Zhang Xiaofang quickly covered his mouth, looked back, Ji Rui had already walked behind him, blushed immediately, threw the little An An under his arm, and ran out of the house with him, While running, he yelled: "I'll take him to buy candied haws!" Let this boy sweeten his mouth and stop asking questions all the time.

Ji Rui looked at the people who ran out and chuckled. The cold wind was blowing, and he felt his throat was a little itchy. He hurriedly took out his handkerchief and coughed. After coughing, he went to look at the handkerchief with a serious expression, but this time, He didn't cough up any more blood.
