Qi Hengyuan lowered his head and continued to read the memorial.
Today is the first day of court after the New Year, and there are many memorials. As for the memorials that Qi Hengyuan has read so far, the most written thing by the ministers is the battle with Jiang Guo.
Qi Hengyuan knew this matter well, and no matter what the ministers said, he would remain firm.
After reading another memorial, Qi Hengyuan asked the prince to call Fu Huanghe to the imperial study.
Fu Huanghe greeted him first, and then asked: "Your Majesty, is there anything that Xuanchen has come to do?"
Qi Hengyuan looked at him: "Tell me about your feelings on this trip to the Six Passes and Six Cities."
Of the nine passes and nine cities on the border, three passes and three cities had been recovered, and six passes and six cities were left. Fu Huanghe was ordered to convey Qi Hengyuan's will, so he naturally walked around the six passes and six cities.
But although it is said to be six levels and six cities, it is not the same six levels and six cities as it was four years ago.
Four years ago, the Nine Passes and Nine Cities were captured by the Jiang State, and the territory and area were occupied by the Jiang State. What the Qi State retained was only the name of the Nine Passes and Nine Cities, not the land.
And the nine passes and nine cities that everyone talks about are no longer the nine passes and nine cities four years ago. Except for the three passes and three cities that have been recovered and restored to their original territory and area, the remaining six passes and six cities are just microcosms of the original ones.
, just a sojourn tent.
Fu Huanghe walked around the six passes and six cities. Because the time was too short, he traveled day and night every day, and he did not take a closer look at the situation in the six passes and six cities. And he also knew that the king was not asking about Qi State.
The six passes and six cities of Jiang State are the six passes and six cities of Jiang State.
Fu Huanghe thought about it and replied: "I did not stop on the road in order to rush for time, but I also saw some soldiers from Jiang State during the journey. What the people said in private was not wrong.
Of the six passes and six cities, it is true that only Qingjiang Pass has some changes. There are more soldiers patrolling Qingjiang Pass than the other five passes."
He stopped and asked: "Your Majesty, will Jiang State really declare war on Qingjiang Pass?"
Qi Hengyuan frowned for a moment, then shook his head: "I don't know, but Jiang Guo's obvious increase in patrols at Qingjiang Pass is obviously abnormal. This may not be a declaration of war, but something else.
"
Qi Hengyuan just wanted to know something roughly from Fu Huanghe's mouth. People were talking about Qingjiang Pass, but Qi Hengyuan didn't know what the situation was at Qingjiang Pass. Now he was sure from Fu Huanghe's mouth
Yes, he knew it well.
Qi Hengyuan said: "It's okay, you can go out."
Qi Hengyuan didn't say anything special about Jiang Guo, and Fu Huanghe didn't ask. Fu Huanghe bowed and left the imperial study.
What else could Jiang Guo mean? It was nothing more than deliberately misleading Qi State into thinking that Jiang State would really declare war on Qingjiang Pass.
Qi Hengyuan sneered.
Originally, Qi Hengyuan did not dare to conclude that Jiang Guo would not declare war on Qingjiang Pass, but now he was certain that Jiang Guo would never declare war on Qingjiang Pass.
Qi Hengyuan continued to read the memorial, and as he looked at it, he suddenly remembered something.
Yan Ning said that she would bring him a gift after returning to the palace.
I don't know what gift she prepared for him.
Thinking of Yan Ning, the coldness in Qi Hengyuan's eyes dissipated a little. At noon, he drove to Fengluo Palace.
Liu Baoluo led the palace people out to greet him, and Yan Ning was among them.
Qi Hengyuan walked directly to Yan Ning, glanced at her, said nothing, and turned around to go to Xixiangyuan where she lived.
Liu Baoluo quickly pushed Yan Ning and asked Yan Ning to follow him.
Yan Ning came back to her senses, quickly caught up with the king, and asked: "Your Majesty, will you have lunch at Xixiangyuan at noon?"
"Um."
Yan Ning immediately ordered the palace people to prepare, and she accompanied the king into the room.
After the king sat down, Yan Ning poured him a cup of tea.
Qi Hengyuan reached out to take it, but did not drink. He just held the porcelain cup and glanced at the red jade hairpin on her head, then looked at her with a look of eagerness.
Yan Ning: "..."
What does His Majesty Qi's appearance mean?
It made her want to go up and touch him.
Ah, what was she thinking? His Majesty the State of Qi is the king of a country, not a little puppy.
Yan Ning smiled and said: "Your Majesty, are you hungry? Let's have some snacks first."
Yan Ning brought over a plate of snacks. She thought His Majesty Qi's eager look meant he was hungry, but how did she know that Qi Hengyuan was waiting for her gift.
Seeing that Yan Ning didn't understand what he meant, Qi Hengyuan's face darkened a little. He didn't eat any snacks, he just lowered his eyes and sat there quietly drinking tea.
While drinking tea, I was thinking to myself, you are such a good person, Yan Ning. It seems that you didn’t prepare a gift for me at all.
It's so good that even the deceiver came to him.
Qi Hengyuan suddenly put down his tea cup and said, "I still have two boxes for you, do you want them or not?"
Yan Ning was stunned for a moment, and then she remembered that His Majesty the State of Qi had rewarded her with two boxes of gold, silver, jewelry, silk and satin. She had already taken half of them and put them in Yan's house, and the other half was with His Majesty the State of Qi.
If he didn't mention her, he really didn't think about it.
Yan Ning immediately said: "Yes, yes."
Qi Hengyuan narrowed his eyes and said, "Go and get it from me tonight."
Of course Yan Ning said yes and didn't think much about anything else for the moment.
But, at night?
Yan Ning thought about it and said: "Isn't there a banquet at Yang Guifei's Fengyue Palace tonight? It's said to be for His Majesty to celebrate the New Year. I don't know when it will end. I'm afraid I don't have time. Your Majesty, can I pick it up tomorrow?"
Qi Hengyuan knew what happened at night, but he was not very interested in it. Yang Qianyue was very interested and wanted to hold a palace banquet in her palace, so he followed her. At that time, he actually thought of Yan
Ning's, he wants to see what kind of talent Yan Ning can perform.
Now that this matter was mentioned, Qi Hengyuan asked: "What are you planning to perform tonight?"
Yan Ning smiled sheepishly and said: "I haven't learned any talents since I was a child, so I don't have much to show for it. However, I have read a lot of books and I still have the ability to write one or two poems. I plan to
Perform poetry.”
Qi Hengyuan said oh and didn't ask any more questions, but his eyes fell on her slim figure and he thought it was a pity that she didn't dance.
With such a soft waist, it will definitely look good when dancing.
Qi Hengyuan was still worried about Huai Yanning forgetting to prepare a gift for him, but when he was asked to ask for it from her, he couldn't do it, so he could only sit there and sulk.
He gave her two gifts, but she didn't give him any.
It really deserves punishment.
Qi Hengyuan glanced at Yan Ning sideways and did not get angry on the spot. He wrote down the account until evening.
After lunch was set, Qi Hengyuan took Yan Ning there.
After lunch, Qi Hengyuan left directly.
Yan Ning felt that if she wanted to get something, she didn't have to wait until the evening or tomorrow. She could go now.
However, the two large boxes were a little heavy and conspicuous, so it would be awkward for others to see them. She would have to find someone to get a carriage.
In the entire palace, apart from His Majesty the State of Qi, the only person who could allow carriages to pass through the palace was Fu Huanghe.
Yanning went into the study to write a letter. After writing the letter, she handed it to Niandie.
Judging from Fu Huanghe's performance before and after, he is worthy of Niandie's liking. Whether the two of them will be together in the end, she cannot predict and cannot interfere, but at least she can provide him with more now.
opportunity to meet.
Niandie took the letter and looked at Yan Ning hesitantly. Yan Ning said: "Look at what I am doing, go quickly."
Niandie muttered something in a low voice, but Yan Ning didn't hear it clearly. When she went to ask, Niandie had already turned around and left with the letter.
Niandie found Fu Huanghe and handed the letter to Fu Huanghe.
Fu Huanghe opened the letter and read it. After reading it, he put the letter away and took out a beautiful box from his sleeve pocket and handed it to Nian Die.
The Jin Guards were sent away by Fu Huanghe. At this moment, she and Fu Huanghe were the only two people under this high wall.
Niandie blinked, took a look at the exquisite box, and then looked at Fu Huanghe.
Fu Huanghe said: "A New Year's gift for you."
Niandie's heart trembled slightly, but she did not accept the gift and said: "Slave..."
"Don't refuse, just treat it as a friendship between friends."
After saying that, he paused: "You didn't prepare a gift for me, right?"
"Slave..."
"It's fine if I'm not prepared, but since I bought this gift, if you don't accept it, won't it mean that it will be wasted on me?"
He opened the exquisite box, took out the ivory hairpin inside, and inserted it into Niandie's bun with his own hands.
Because Niandie was just a palace maid, Fu Huanghe didn't buy too luxurious and expensive hairpin. This ivory hairpin was very ordinary, and it wouldn't look out of place when worn on her head. It had to be such an ordinary hairpin for her to wear it.
After putting on the hairpin, Fu Huanghe suddenly leaned forward, put his thin lips against Niandie's ear, and whispered: "It's very beautiful. It would be even better if you were fatter."
One moment he was polite and spoke politely, but the next moment he turned into a carefree and flirtatious person. Niandie was stunned, raised her head, and caught the constriction and smile on his face.
Niandie's face turned red and she reached out to take off the hairpin, but Fu Huanghe quickly held her hand down.
Niandie said anxiously: "Let go!"
Fu Huanghe said lazily: "Someone gives you a gift. Even if you don't accept it happily, you can't throw it away in front of others, right?"
"Slave, you don't want to throw it away!"
Fu Huanghe clicked his tongue: "I believed your ghost, how dare you say that you won't throw it away after taking it off?"
Niandie: "..."
She really planned to take it off and throw it to him, then turn around and leave.
Nian Die looked around nervously and whispered: "I won't take it anymore, and I won't throw it away either. Let me go!"
Fu Huanghe suddenly approached her and said with a smile: "The blushing look is very cute."
Niandie: "..."
In shame and anger, she raised her foot and stepped on Fu Huanghe's foot.
Fu Huanghe was stunned for a moment, then Jier burst into laughter.
Niandie blushed even more because of his smile. Thinking of her behavior just now, she wished she could find a hole in the ground to burrow into.
What was she doing just now?
Niandie said angrily: "Stop laughing!"
Fu Huanghe still smiled. Although she was very fierce just now, he still felt that she was stepping on his feet like a baby? Is he so close to her?
Fu Huanghe was very happy and said in a low voice: "Are you still stepping on it?"
Niandie: "..."
This man is so bad, so hateful!
Niandie glared at him: "Still stepping on it!"
Sure enough, she rushed forward again and stomped on his feet twice.
After stepping on it, he quickly stepped away, only to be hugged by Fu Huanghe.
Niandie was shocked and was about to scream when her mouth was covered by Fu Huanghe's rough palm.
Fu Huanghe hissed: "Don't make trouble, don't yell. I gave you a gift, do you want to give me a gift in return? Since you haven't prepared a gift, then I don't want anything else, just a kiss from you."
Already."
Niandie whined and struggled, her eyes as wide as copper bells.
Fu Huanghe was very familiar with the palace and quickly took Niandie to an empty palace.
Soon, Nian Die's various begging for mercy came: "Master Fu, please don't bully this slave like this."
"Master Fu, that's not allowed."
"Master Fu..."
The sound gradually became quieter and finally disappeared.
Nian Die was intact when she came out. Fu Huanghe didn't touch her, he just kissed her face and didn't even touch her lips.
He just teased her deliberately, making her so embarrassed that she couldn't help herself in his arms.
Niandie strode forward with a sullen head, scolding Fu Huanghe so much in her heart.
With a smile on his face, Fu Huanghe said to her back: "Tell your beauty so that she doesn't have to make a trip. I will go to His Majesty to help her take out the two boxes and send them to Xixiangyuan."
Niandie paused for a moment, then turned around and saluted in the direction of Fu Huanghe: "Thank you, Master Fu."
Without further delay, I jogged back to Xixiangyuan.
Niandie conveyed Fu Huanghe's words to Yan Ning, and Yan Ning nodded, indicating that she understood.
Niandie wanted to tell Yan Ning about Fu Huang He's bullying of her just now, but after thinking about it, she finally didn't say it because she felt too embarrassed to say it.
Fu Huanghe moved very quickly. An hour later, two big boxes were delivered to Xixiangyuan. Fu Huanghe didn't come, but other Golden Guards came.
Yan Ning gave the silver reward to the Golden Guards. The Golden Guards accepted it with a smile and left with the carriage.
Yan Ning put the two boxes in the cabinet in the bedroom and locked them tightly.
In order to prevent others from thinking too much, she told the public that these two boxes were used to store books and that they were full of books.
Because she had to perform a talent show in the evening, she really had no talent, so she could only read more books and try to be able to express her poetry in the evening.
Besides the king, there was no one else who could send out the Jin Guards. The king came to Yan Ning for lunch at noon, and Yan Ning was able to cope with it better. He said that these two boxes of books were gifts from the king.
, after tonight, these two boxes of books will be returned to the king.
Everyone believed it, even Liu Baoluo believed it.
When Chen Yurong heard the news, he sneered: "I guess she doesn't know anything. It seems like she's going to make a fool of herself at the palace banquet tonight."
Yang Qianyue ate grapes, glanced at Chen Yurong, and said with a smile: "She is proficient in astronomy and earth magic, and now she asks His Majesty for a book to read. It is obvious that she wants to make use of her strengths in this area. Maybe she will not make a fool of herself at night, but instead let her make a fool of herself.
She shines."
Chen Yurong hummed, "Isn't it simple? Just set a rule and say that the dinner is for His Majesty's New Year. It must be lively and lively. She can only perform singing and dancing, but not other talents. In this way, she will not be able to display her talents.
"
Yang Qianyue raised her eyebrows: "This makes it appear that I am deliberately targeting her."
Someone asked the Queen how many chapters this book will have. I don’t know. It will be over after the plot is written. The main plots include recovering the Nine Passes and Nine Cities, destroying the Jiang Kingdom, Yan Ning leaving the palace, and His Majesty chasing his wife. Now we are only on the first part, which is about to end.
It's still very early.
The outline and details are very complete, and I have fully prepared the stories of the main and supporting characters. I just need to write them quietly and share them with you.
Don't be impatient, babies, please be patient and read it, okay?
In addition, you can read the author's short closing remarks. "Dear Mr. Jiang" is a very sweet and doting love story that will undoubtedly contain a mistress. It is sweet throughout the whole process and will make you laugh. No matter you are married or unmarried, you will be happy after reading it.
I want to fall in love again.
So, for the sake of me spoiling the main plot, can you reward me with a monthly pass?
