Dujie Patriarch is cannon fodder

Since Ye Chenghao left the mansion, Rong Qi has rarely appeared in front of people. There is no other reason. The effect of the growth-inhibiting medicine that the original owner took before is slowly disappearing. Subtle changes are taking place in his flesh and blood. Although it is not obvious now, But Rong Qi endured unspeakable pain every day.

After studying his physical condition, Rong Qi prescribed several prescriptions based on his knowledge of pharmacology, and took medicine every day to relieve the pain in his body, but he couldn't change the weakness caused by the changes in his flesh and blood.Can't run, can't stand, eleven of the twelve hours must be leaned on.Fortunately, this small world still has some superficial aura of heaven and earth, and the Princess Mansion has countless rare treasures, Rong Qi can cover up some abnormalities by relying on simple practice.

The original owner was born at the end of the seventh month of the lunar calendar. Every year on the original owner's birthday, Zhou Wendi will hold a birthday banquet for the original owner with extravagance. During the banquet, there will be endless singing and dancing. The official congratulates on the birthday, and the unique honor allows the original owner to enjoy the dignity.

Half a month ago, Emperor Wen of Zhou personally went to the Princess Mansion to ask Rong Qi how to hold this year's birthday banquet. Rong Qi didn't want to be as ostentatious as the original owner, so he said bluntly that he wanted to do it in the Princess Mansion simply, and just invite a few relatives and friends to have a good time. .

Seeing that Rong Qi was not in good spirits, Emperor Wen of Zhou did not insist on doing as much as in previous years, so he readily agreed to Rong Qi's request.

However, Emperor Wen of Zhou didn't seem to understand what is meant by simple handling. For half a month, rewards were sent to the Princess Mansion without interruption, ranging from gold and silver jewelry, delicacies from mountains and seas, to silk and satin, and ginseng ganoderma.The warehouse of the Princess Mansion, which occupies a large area, is almost full. Just looking at the list of rewards, Rong Qi feels a headache.

On this day, Dongshuang took back a bright red bronzing post from the outside, and she put the post in front of Rong Qi with a smile, and said: "Princess, this is the list just handed over from the palace, let's see what else is there." is to be added."

Rong Qi opened it up and saw that it was full of dense words, he only took a second look and then closed the post again, saying: "There is no need to invite these people."

Dong Shuang was puzzled and said: "Why? The imperial concubine asked someone to bring a message, saying that His Majesty has asked the imperial chef to prepare, and said that on your birthday, there will be two hundred tables. The list on this post will only be enough for one There are a hundred tables, and you can choose the rest yourself."

Rong Qi put the post aside, stared and said: "Go and prepare, enter the palace."

Dongshuang let out an 'ah' in astonishment. She didn't know why the princess suddenly wanted to enter the palace, but as an obedient personal maid, she went down quickly to prepare.

Rong Qi glanced at the post with the list again, hesitated for a moment, put it in his sleeve, got up and walked towards the inner room.

Changing into palace attire, Rong Qi took Dongshuang and the guards, got into the carriage and drove towards the palace. The carriage of the Princess Mansion ignored all the rules of the palace and went straight into the Forbidden Palace.

When Emperor Wen of Zhou got the news of Rong Qi's entry into the palace, he was discussing matters with the empress. When the palace man told him that Rong Qi was waiting in the Qianling Palace, he ignored the empress whose face darkened in an instant, and said, "Let's discuss later." Then he left.

The queen looked depressedly at the back of Emperor Zhou Wen who left without hesitation, and stood there for a long while before she suddenly came back to her senses.She returned to the bedroom with stiff movements, and sat in front of the dressing table with a silent expression. Her hands slowly and meticulously stroked the new wrinkles on her face and the new white hair on her temples, her eyes finally became distorted.

The nanny in charge of the central palace hurriedly walked in from the outside, kowtowed and said: "Your Majesty, His Royal Highness the Crown Prince has arrived."

The empress paused for a moment with her hand stretched out to her temples, then she took a picture in the bronze mirror and said, "Qiu Cai, come and help me to see if my hair has grown a lot more gray?" The nanny got up and approached, and the queen said casually, "It's better not to look at it, so as not to be suspected."

The nurse in charge had followed the queen for decades, so she could guess what the queen was thinking. After she said a few flattering words, she silently stood beside the queen with her head bowed.

The queen mourned for herself in the mirror for a while, and then she took the nurse in charge to the side hall of the central palace.As soon as he entered the palace, he saw the prince in the jade white python robe standing with his hands behind his back. The prince was born very handsome, tall and strong. If you looked closely, you could find a bit of exotic charm between his brows.

Seeing the queen walking quickly, the prince bowed to salute when he was still not a short distance away from the queen: "I have seen the queen mother."

The queen personally helped the prince up, patted his hand and said: "Get up quickly, I haven't seen you for a few days, my son looks a little thinner."

The crown prince smiled and said: "The queen mother is serious. The affairs of the Ministry of War have been a bit complicated recently, but it will not make my son lose weight. But the queen mother looks a little haggard. Is there any discomfort? Has the imperial doctor Xuan come to see you? Changing seasons can’t be sloppy.”

The queen said: "The queen mother knows that my son found time to come to the queen mother during his busy schedule. I think he came here not only to see the queen mother, but also for other things?"

The prince's eyes flickered slightly, and he seemed embarrassed and said: "That's right, Changxi's birthday is still half a month away. My son is going to go out with the Ministry of War recently. I think it will be too late to celebrate Changxi's birth. Please ask the queen mother On the day of Changxi's birthday, I help my minister to give this item to Changxi, and it can be regarded as my elder brother's wish."

What the crown prince wanted to give to Rong Qi was an exquisite and precious necklace, which was inlaid with many bright red gemstones, which was a rare treasure in the world.

The empress took over the wooden box containing the gemstone necklace with a complicated expression. The prince she raised carefully has never given her such an elaborate gift: "Don't worry, the empress mother will personally deliver the gift to Changxi. "

After the prince thanked him, he left in a hurry.The prince who left did not see that the expression of the queen holding the wooden gift box was no longer tender. Her nails were tightly clasped on the wooden box, and her nails were roughly deformed without knowing it.

After a while, the queen said slowly: "Qiu Cai, I have endured for 20 years, it is enough."

The nanny in charge understood what the queen meant, and it was because she understood that her complexion changed instantly.

She now only hopes that the reminders in the past two years will be useful.

The Qianling Palace was the place where Emperor Wen of Zhou handled government affairs and had a rest. Without the permission of Emperor Wen of Zhou, no one was allowed to enter or leave the Qianling Palace without permission, and Rong Qi was no exception.

Therefore, Rong Qi, who had arrived at the Qianling Palace ahead of time, had to wait outside. The eunuchs and guards waiting at the Qianling Palace knew that Emperor Wen of Zhou loved the original owner almost without principle. , and snacks, even the tea is ready.

Dongshuang looked up at the sky where the sun was shining brightly, and asked with concern: "Princess, are you hot?"

The eunuch understood immediately, and found a cattail fan to gently blow the wind on Rong Qi, so that he would not feel too uncomfortable.

Not long after Rong Qi settled down, he heard a burst of familiar unscrupulous laughter, looked up, and saw Rong Yi walking slowly, waving his folding fan, and beside him was the God of War Xiao Changqing.

Xiao Changqing was dressed in a blue robe, tall and graceful, his brows and eyes were cold, like a picture scroll.He walked beside Rong Yi quietly, no matter how much Ren Rong Yi laughed, the expression on his face did not change much.

Xiao Changqing sensed that someone was looking at him, so he shot sharply at Rong Qi's position, and when he met Rong Qi's casual gaze, Xiao Changqing felt his heart tremble a little.Xiao Changqing pursed his lips, and looked away uncomfortably, but the shock in his heart did not calm down.

Rong Yi covered most of his face with the opened folding fan, he leaned half beside Xiao Changqing, and whispered: "That's my sister, your fiancée, remember?"

Xiao Changqing stared at Rong Qi from the corner of his eyes, but said: "Princess Changxi already has a son-in-law, don't ruin the princess' reputation."

Rong Yi snorted and said with a smile: "That coward Ye Chenghao deserves to be my sister's son-in-law? My sister has long since despised him and has already divorced him."

As long as Rong Yi thought of Ye Chenghao's miserable situation during this period, he would be in a good mood enough to laugh.What the hell, it's his luck that his sister sees him, he's not grateful, it's fine with three incense sticks sooner or later, yet he dares to pretend to be noble and humiliate his sister.

Rong Qi wanted to say a few more words, but he was not far away from where Rong Qi was, so he quickly restrained his thoughts and approached with what he thought was a bright and bright smile.

Rong Yi naturally sat down on the seat opposite Rong Qi, and then said to Xiao Changqing: "Changqing, you sit too. Let me tell you, the honor of being able to set a table and drink tea in front of the gate of Qianling Palace is not for everyone." Yes, if the two of us didn't come by coincidence, I'm afraid we would have to stand like these guards, sweating profusely under the scorching sun, waiting for His Majesty's announcement."

Seeing that Xiao Changqing didn't move, Rong Yi thought he was being cautious, so he said to Rong Qi: "Sister, you also say a few words, otherwise Changqing will be embarrassed."

Rong Qi nodded slightly to Xiao Changqing: "Prince Li, please sit down."

Although Rong Qi deliberately lowered his voice, the moment he spoke, Xiao Changqing's pupils shrank obviously, looking at Rong Qi with a little more inquiry and disbelief.

Rong Qi also noticed Xiao Changqing's abnormality, but he didn't pay much attention to it. As the god of war, Xiao Changqing's character is still trustworthy. In addition, he lived in the frontier all year round, and he didn't have much involvement with the court and harem, so Rong Qi didn't think that he would tell the public his conjecture without complete evidence.

After Xiao Changqing sat down, Rong Qi personally poured a cup of tea for Xiao Changqing, and said, "I heard that the Prince of Li County is the God of War in the frontier, so I wonder if the King of the County might tell some interesting things about the frontier to my palace?"

Xiao Changqing just picked up the teacup, when he heard Rong Qi's words, his hand shook subconsciously, a few drops of tea water dripped out of the cup, landed on the back of his hand, and blushed a few times.

Xiao Changqing pursed his lips, looked at Rong Qi, then at Rong Yi, there were beads of sweat on his forehead, he was at a loss because of his anxiety.

Seeing the calm and calm Xiao Changqing, Rong Yi looked at Xiao Changqing whose hands and feet were about to become stiff with great interest, and said gloatingly: "Changqing, why are you in a daze, my sister is asking you for advice on some interesting things about the border."

Xiao Changqing opened his mouth, and said dryly: "Training soldiers, fighting."
