Chapter 1467 Si Lili is pregnant, and so is the little emperor
Fan Xian knew very well that as a member of the Qing Kingdom, no matter how nice he said it, the Queen Mother of the Northern Qi Dynasty would not be able to trust him completely.
He must find a good excuse, and the excuse must sound reasonable, at least it cannot make people think it is false.
Fortunately, he was very resourceful and came up with a more reasonable excuse.
"Reporting to the Queen Mother, there is indeed a hidden reason why I did what I did."
The Empress Dowager of the Northern Qi Dynasty: "Oh, let me tell you."
Fan Xian said: "I persuaded the general to join the Queen Mother's family and cede the future smuggling profits to the Queen Mother. I also hope to ease the relationship with the Queen Mother, so that I can have contact with the eldest princess of your country and get closer."
The Empress Dowager of the Northern Qi Dynasty showed surprise: "Getting closer to the eldest princess? She will soon marry the Duke of your Qing Kingdom. Is your purpose for Mr. Zhou?"
"The Queen Mother is indeed very discerning and can see through my thoughts at a glance."
Fan Xian pretended to have an expression of admiration, and then explained: "The Queen Mother should know that although I have a little reputation in the Qing Kingdom, I will be in charge of the internal treasury when I return. But because of this, many people in the country regard me as
I am an enemy and you want to get rid of me quickly, so I must find a strong enough ally, or backer, in Qingguo."
Without waiting for the Queen Mother to speak, Zhan Zhan spoke first: "As far as I know, Mr. Fan's father is Uncle Si Nan, the Minister of Household Affairs, and you are the chief minister of the Institute of Inspection, and you are deeply trusted by Chen Pingping, the director of the Institute.
"Although Duke Zhen is a Duke, he is not an official in your Qing Dynasty court. If you want to find a backer, you shouldn't look for Duke Zhen, right?"
Fan Xian retorted: "Commander Shen's words are wrong. You may not know the status of Lord Zhenguo in our Qing Kingdom. Although he does not serve in the court, as a grand master, his status is as high as that of the prince."
, maybe not as important as Ku He to you all, but it’s definitely not that much different.”
"But I have heard that Lord Fan has a very good relationship with the Duke of Zhenguo."
"If I really have a good relationship with Duke Zhenguo, how come I was assassinated many times on the way to your country and almost lost my life?"
"Perhaps Master Fan directed and acted it himself?"
"Master Shen really thinks, I still owe the Duke of Zhen Guo 60,000 taels of silver. If our relationship is really good, it is impossible for him not to live in the mission; you know what the most powerful wind in the world is.
Is it pillow style? I will directly get closer to the Duke of Zhen. The effect may not be good, but if there is a princess who plays pillow style, the effect will be very good. "
Upon hearing Fan Xian's words, the Queen Mother of Northern Qi and others in the palace looked at each other in shock.
They all understood what Fan Xian meant, but they didn't expect that he could say it so openly.
Pillow style, how dare you think about it.
But according to Fan Xian, his behavior seems to be justified. The eldest princess of Northern Qi comes from Northern Qi and is nominally the daughter of the Queen Mother of Northern Qi. Having a good relationship with the Queen Mother of Northern Qi will definitely make the eldest princess of Northern Qi have a better attitude.
Ingratiating Zhou Chen with the eldest princess of Northern Qi.
This series of relationships seems weird, but it makes sense. Even if she wanted to say something heavy, the Empress Dowager of Northern Qi no longer wanted to worry about it.
After Fan Xian discussed smuggling profits with the Queen Mother of the Northern Qi Dynasty, Shen Shen was actually defeated. Within a few days, the matter of smuggling exchanges spread throughout the capital. Soon, Shen Shen's opposition to this matter became A thorn in the side of most people.
In a blink of an eye, it was the birthday of the Queen Mother of the Northern Qi Dynasty. The birthday banquet was arranged directly in the inner hall of the palace. Officials from the Northern Qi Dynasty and officials from the envoy from Nan Qing attended the banquet.
Zhou Chen was naturally among those invited, but he did not go with Fan Xian and the others, but went alone.
Above the main hall, officials from the Northern Qi Dynasty and people from the Nanqing envoy came to the main hall early.
As the Empress Dowager of the Northern Qi Dynasty and the protagonist of today's birthday banquet, she sat at the main seat. Even the little emperor Zhan Doudou of the Northern Qi Dynasty could only sit at the bottom of her seat. Zhou Chen, because of his status as the Grand Master, sat at the bottom. On the other side of Zhan Doudou.
The remaining officials are located on both sides of the bottom, with the Northern Qi people on the left and the Nanqing people on the right.
Shortly after the birthday banquet started, Lang Tao took the initiative to challenge Fan Xian and wanted to invite Fan Xian to a battle. Fan Xian simply said that he would admit defeat.
But Lang Tao was unwilling to let Fan Xian go just like that. He stood up from the ground and faced Fan Xian.
"Lord Fan, are you admitting that Nanqing is weak and the warriors have declined?"
Fan Xian replied: "I will admit defeat on my own and it has nothing to do with Qingguo."
Lang Tao said coldly: "Isn't the mission undefeated in front of the gate? When entering Shangjing, didn't they put up flags and enter the palace? Why do I dare not take action when I come today? Could it be that you Nanqing warriors are all like this? Do you bully the weak and fear the strong?"
Fan Xian's eyes flashed with light and he said: "Lang Tao, right? I am not the only Nanqing warrior present today. You said that we Nanqing warriors bully the weak and fear the strong. I think you are the real bully and fear the strong. If you really If you have the ability, you should not challenge me, but challenge our Daqing Duke."
With that said, he stood up and cupped his hands towards Zhou Chen above.
"Zhen Guo Gong, Lord Langtao, said that we Nanqing warriors bully the weak and fear the strong. What do you think?"
Zhou Chen glanced at Fan Xian and was quite speechless, this kid.
Sure enough, Lang Tao's expression changed, and she hurriedly turned around and saluted Zhou Chen.
"Sir, I have no intention of insulting you. I am talking to Fan Xian..."
"I know, but since it is the Queen Mother's birthday banquet, it would be unlucky to fight and kill, so let's forget about the martial arts competition. Queen Mother, Your Majesty, what do you think?"
The Queen Mother and Zhan Doudou looked at each other, Zhou Chen's face must be given, otherwise if Zhou Chen wanted to take action, Lang Tao would not be his opponent.
So the Queen Mother waved her hand and said: "Mr. Zhou said that the birthday banquet is for celebration, and it is unlucky to fight and kill. Lang Tao, there is no need to compete."
Zhan Doudou also echoed: "What the Queen Mother said is that on the day of the birthday banquet, there is no need to compete in martial arts."
Lang Tao felt a little unhappy, but since the Queen Mother and the Emperor had said so, he could only endure it even if he was unhappy.
"Fan Xian, you are really eloquent and eloquent. You don't have the determination and momentum of a warrior to move forward."
After saying this, he saw that Fan Xian didn't care at all, so he could only return to his seat unhappily.
The birthday banquet continued, and Fan Xian drank wine leisurely, but his heart was not as calm as he showed.
If Zhou Chen hadn't been present today to shock him, Lang Tao would definitely not have let him go. Lang Tao was Ku He's top disciple. Although he had never fought against him, he knew very well that he would never be Lang Tao's opponent.
If there was a real fight, he was not afraid of Lang Tao killing him. Lang Tao didn't dare, and the whole Northern Qi Dynasty didn't dare either, but they didn't dare to kill him. If there was a secret attack, he wouldn't be able to guard against it.
This trip to the Northern Qi Dynasty also made him realize the importance of strength again. If he could now have ninth-grade Zhenqi martial arts, he wouldn't have to be so careful and vigilant. He would have to rely on Zhou Chen's reputation. Intimidate others.
??????55.??????
In the middle of the birthday banquet, Shen Shen stood up again and wanted to stop Bei Qi and Fan Xian's smuggling, but Uesugi Tiger seized the opportunity and used Shen Shen's sister to severely impeach Shen Shen. Thinking of preventing the two parties from cooperating, the angry Queen Mother immediately removed the python pattern on her official uniform.
It seems that he is just getting rid of the python pattern, but everyone knows that this is the beginning of Shen Shen's loss of power. Although Shen Shen can achieve his current status because of his own abilities, the biggest reason is that he relies on the power of the Queen Mother to achieve his current status. Without the favor of the Queen Mother, his power is like rootless duckweed.
Once Shen Sheng loses his power, it will be much easier to kill him, which is what Fan Xian is happy to see.
It's just that he has never been able to find out who the person who was smuggling with Beiqi was, which made him feel uneasy.
After the birthday banquet, Fan Xian went out to find Zhou Chen again.
"Mr. Zhen Guo, I had no choice but to take advantage of you today. Please forgive me."
Zhou Chen said: "I told Wang Qinian that if you encounter any trouble in Shangjing City, you can use my name. I can't blame you today."
Fan Xian said gratefully: "Thank you so much, Duke Zhenguo, for your generosity. If I were really allowed to fight with Lang Tao, we would definitely lose face to Daqing."
"Now that you know it, you should practice your martial arts well after you go back. Your domineering Qi can hopefully break through to the level of a grand master, so practice hard."
Zhou Chen's words made Fan Xian very confused. He had not read the full book of Overbearing Zhenqi to Zhou Chen. Why did Zhou Chen feel that he knew more about Overbearing Zhenqi than he did, just because he was a great master?
However, Zhou Chen said that he could practice the overbearing zhenqi to become a great master, which he didn't dare to believe. On the contrary, he also felt that the overbearing zhenqi was very difficult to practice and there were always problems.
I wanted to ask Zhou Chen for advice, but after thinking about it, I still didn't do it.
After today's birthday banquet, the Qingguo mission began to pack up, and in a few days, they were ready to leave Shangjing and return to Qingguo.
Zhou Chen originally wanted to leave with the Qing Kingdom delegation, but at this time, when he went to find Si Lili late at night, he found that Si Lili was pregnant.
It had been a long time since the Qing Dynasty envoy came to Northern Qi, and he had been in love with Si Lili before that, so it was normal for Si Lili to be pregnant at this time.
The reason why he didn't have time to leave with the Qingguo envoy was because Zhan Doudou was very dissatisfied. Obviously she and Si Lili were dating Zhou Chen together, but Si Lili had a baby, but she didn't respond, so she
She was unwilling to let Zhou Chen go no matter what. She had to make her pregnant before letting Zhou Chen go.
Zhou Chen agreed to him and decided to stay in Northern Qi for another two months at most. In two months, as long as Zhan Doudou is fine and he works overtime, there should be no problem.
Fan Xian was also very disappointed when he learned that Zhou Chen would not follow them back to the Qing Kingdom. Originally, he had hoped that Zhou Chen would follow him, so he would not have to worry about danger along the way.
Now it seems that my idea is in vain.
A few days passed by in a flash, and Fan Xian and the others also set off. When they left, Zhan Sheng was still unwilling to give in. He led his dead soldiers to attack the mission, but fortunately, with Zhou Chen's reminder,
Fan Xian and Northern Qi were both prepared and did not let Shen Sheng succeed.
In order to save his sister, Zhong Sheng told Fan Xian the truth about the smuggling, and was then taken away by the Northern Qi Imperial Army.
Fan Xian, on the other hand, was shocked by the truth he was told. He never expected that the eldest princess Li Yunrui was actually with the second prince, and that they worked together to smuggle.
This news was really shocking to him, because he had always thought that the second prince was a pretty good person, and his opponents were Li Yunrui and the prince, but the truth was so cruel.
With a heavy heart, he began to return.
…………
Originally, Zhou Chen decided to stay in Northern Qi for another two months, but just a few days later, his goal was achieved, and Zhan Doudou became pregnant.
Later, Zhan Doudou took the initiative to announce that the imperial concubine Si Lili was pregnant. Once the news came out, it immediately caused shock in the Northern Qi court.
An emperor with descendants and an emperor without descendants are two completely different concepts.
The most shocked one was the Empress Dowager of Northern Qi. She was the first to receive the news. She was shocked at that time, because she, as a mother, knew best what Zhan Doudou was going through. Zhan Doudou was
It is absolutely impossible for Si Lili to become pregnant.
So she personally took the imperial doctor to Si Lili's palace. After confirming the facts, she immediately called Zhan Doudou to her palace, then dispersed all the eunuchs and maids, and asked Haitang Duoduo to guard the door. Only she and
Zhan Doudou two people.
The Empress Dowager of the Northern Qi Dynasty had a livid face and asked angrily: "What on earth is going on?"
Zhan Doudou did not show any emotion. Instead, he said calmly: "Don't worry, Queen Mother. It's part of my plan to deal with her situation."
"Is this part of your plan? She is pregnant. Do you know what this means? Whose child is she carrying?"
The Empress Dowager of the Northern Qi Dynasty was extremely angry. Si Lili was now the imperial concubine. If she gave birth to a prince, she would be the 'emperor's eldest son'. But she knew very well that this had nothing to do with the Da Qi royal family. How could she let the Da Qi royal family
His bloodline tainted the throne of Da Qi.
Zhan Doudou said: "Queen, in fact, not only Lili is pregnant, I am also pregnant."
"What?"
The Queen Mother of Northern Qi could not believe her ears, she almost jumped up, rushed to Zhan Doudou, and grabbed Zhan Doudou's shoulders with both hands.
"Do you know what you're talking about?"
"I know, Queen Mother, this is my plan. Let me and Lili be pregnant at the same time. If I give birth to a prince in the future, I will let Lili be his mother, and then I will naturally become the crown prince of Daqi.
"
"Then what if you give birth to a girl and Si Lili gives birth to a boy?"
"Then give that child to his father to raise. My child's mother will still be Lili."
The Queen Mother of Northern Qi was shocked. Her daughter didn't even discuss such an important matter with her.
"Who is the father of the child in your belly? Who is the father of the child in Si Lili's belly?"
"Li Li and I are pregnant with Zhou Chen's children."
"Zhou Chen? Are they all Zhou Chen's?"
The Queen Mother of Northern Qi looked shocked again, pointing at Zhan Doudou with trembling hands: "You, you are really crazy."
Zhan Doudou said calmly: "Mother, I'm not crazy. Don't you think this is a very good result? Zhou Chen is the Grand Master, and I am the Emperor of Northern Qi. The combination of our two bloodlines will definitely give birth to a good enough child.
The descendant of the child, and as the father of the child, Zhou Chen will definitely be bound to our Daqi. After all, my child is his biological blood, and the imperial sister will be his wife in the future. In this way, Daqi and Nanqing,
Which one will he choose?"
"hiss."
The Queen Mother of Northern Qi took a breath. After the initial anger and shock, she calmed down and thought about it carefully, and it seemed that it actually made sense.
