Thinking

Qi Si welcomes him into the hall and sits down, the palace servants serve refreshments, the two look at each other and smile.

King An was like a big brother, and said with concern: "Since you returned to the court a few years ago, you have never met each other. It is legendary."

Qi Si smiled: "Indeed, now that I think about it, the only ones in this palace who recognize Father Huang and Lu Yingqiu."

"It's good to be back, after all, it's my home." He said.

This sentence, Qi Si heard mixed feelings, and just nodded with a smile.

Wang An chatted with Qi Si about other things, and Qi Si found that he was kind and gentle, and he really regarded himself as a younger brother in his behavior, and he got along very well. Wang An invited him to visit his house another day, and then I hurried to see Emperor Hongjia.

Until the Ministry of Rites efficiently prepared the matter of conferring the king, he expected to officially appear in the court on the fourth day of his return to the court and be canonized as King Huai.

The ceremony was not complicated, but in the main hall, all the civil and military officials of the Jin Kingdom stood up, the first prince who had been named King An, the fifth prince Jia Wang, and the seventh prince Jing Wang were all present.

And the Seventh Prince, King Jing, was the former Yu Ke, the little layman of Fanghua Temple who grew up with Qi Si.

Every gaze cast has its own thoughts, expecting the waves to be calm, regardless of these, and steadily completed the ceremony from the beginning to the end, and the gestures are calm and introverted, and the light is warm and moist, like a well-polished jade in the rough.

Qi Si had no time to carefully look at the people present, and after the final ceremony was completed, he took a rough look around the people in the hall, and then moved to Duke Huai's mansion outside the palace.

The mansions of King An and King Jia are both in Jiangliang City, but Yu Ke's Mansion of Prince Jing moved to Qingzhou two years ago. I want to know his character. For the sake of Emperor Hongjia, he came back to live for a month a year.

Qisi's Prince Huai's Mansion is in Jiangliang City, and the mansion regulations still need to be changed, but it was originally a big mansion, and Emperor Hongjia took good care of his face.

Everything in the mansion was ready, Jisi went around and went back to his room to stay, and the people in the mansion didn't bother the legendary prince, they went about their own business.

Qi Si practiced two characters, and the housekeeper came to pass on the word, saying that it was King Jing who came.

Qi Si smiled when he heard the words, got up and strode out to meet Yu Ke.

I haven't seen each other for a few years, and Yu Ke has also changed a lot. She is handsome and has her own style, with sculpted eyebrows and phoenix eyes.

When he came back, he only brought Xiao Yunsong with him, and Xiao Yunsong rubbed his hands excitedly: "This, this, this..."

Yu Ke turned around and told him not to be so excited, so as not to cause doubts.

Before Qi Si came in, he sent all the servants away, and the housekeeper also left after serving tea.

The two sat down, Yu Ke's eyes were slightly red: "You saved me at that time, I..."

Xiao Yunsong also said: "The young master changed into His Highness's clothes and led the assassin away, which is really a great kindness."

Qi Si smiled with his eyes bent, and raised his hand to stop their words: "I promised to protect you, and naturally I will do what I said. Now we are all safe, don't worry about it so much."

Qi Si looked at Yu Ke again: "When did you come back from Qingzhou?"

Yu Ke smiled: "Lu Yingqiu sent me a letter when he left, and I set off. I just arrived yesterday, otherwise I would have gone to the palace to see you a long time ago."

"I did see King An, your brother looks good."

Yu Ke nodded: "Brother Dahuang has always been low-key and has a good temper, but Father doesn't like his temperament of a literati, especially Brother Dahuang is not interested in martial arts at all."

It is clear that Emperor Hongjia has been fighting east and west since he was young, and he is superior in military art and martial arts. Naturally, he also hopes that his son can inherit this, and King An does not meet his expectations at all.

King An's family background was not very good. Although he was the first prince, he was not crowned prince. Like the fifth prince and Yu Ke, he was crowned king. It can be seen that Emperor Hongjia had other considerations.

Yu Ke didn't know that Qi Si was Rui Chu's son, and Qi Si didn't intend to tell him. Since Yu Ke didn't like these gossips, knowing a little less would save him some trouble.

"Father, did you say what you plan to do in the future?" Yu Ke was also a little surprised by Emperor Hongjia's actions.

"If it really goes on like this, I'm sure I'll stay in Jiangliang, and I'll feel at ease in front of His Majesty." Qi Si said bluntly.

He is always a fake, staring at the title and identity of the royal family, Emperor Hongjia let him live is a kindness, after being crowned king, he must restrict his activities, and he cannot be allowed to swagger around as a fake prince.

Yu Ke also knew that everything in the future depended on Emperor Hongjia's thoughts, so he took Ji Si's hand and said, "Don't worry, Lu Yingqiu and I are on your side, if Father has other ideas, I will persuade you he."

Yu Ke couldn't stay for too long, after all, logically speaking, like King An and King Jia, he had never seen Qi Si at all, so it would be strange to stay for a long time, especially in Jiangliang City, where there were so many people with distracted eyes that they couldn't do things well. capricious.

After Yu Ke said goodbye, Qi Si found that staying in Jiangliang City for a day was really tiring, and things were always complicated, but everything in Chang Yu was a hundred times more refreshing.

He wrote a letter and handed it to the people of Lieshan Beizong left by Yuan Bing beside him. In the letter, he told Yuan Bing half-jokingly that he was also a prince now, and at the end of the letter he outlined a peony.

It wasn't until the next day's palace banquet that Qi Si really got to know everyone in the court. By this time, Emperor Su and Zuo Xiang of the Yan Kingdom, and Emperor Hongjia of the Jin Kingdom knew Qi Si's true identity. It was originally performed by Jin Guo, but now it is actually performed for all living beings, and everyone has become a role on the stage, which is extremely absurd when you think about it.

"Ke'er's return to the imperial court has been full of twists and turns. Now that you are back, you two will get along well. Brothers of one mind are the blessings of our Jin people." Emperor Hongjia looked at the several sons sitting next to him.

Qi Si smiled brightly, nodded and said yes: "I will definitely encourage the emperor and the seventh brother to improve."

The fifth prince, King Jia, was beside Qisi, dressed in fine clothes, his appearance and temperament were very similar to that of Emperor Hongjia, he was strong and heroic, and he took the lead in toasting: "I haven't visited my sixth brother in the past few days. The brothers are finally together."

As soon as he said this, Emperor Hongjia praised a few words, and all the courtiers in the hall agreed one after another. Qi Si calmly clinked glasses with him, brothers and friends drank respectfully, thinking, so the fifth prince, King Jia, is A real hit.

It is obvious that Emperor Hongjia valued him, and the earnest attitude of his courtiers also explained a lot of problems. King Jia's momentum of responding to everyone's response, King An stepped forward before he could speak, and the high spirits on his body could not be concealed. And Wang An didn't mind, either he really didn't care about it, or he was used to it.

As the youngest prince, Yu Ke can stay as far away from these messy things as possible. If she didn't want to wait for her to come back, she might really shave her hair and become a monk. Stay out of it.

A palace banquet is just one play, and acting with Emperor Hongjia, acting with King Jia, and acting with the ministers is another act.

Lin Yu and Lu Yingqiu, prime ministers in court, had the highest civil and military status, and Zhongshuling Zhu Jin was young and promising, and he was also a clear stream.

Qi Si's intuition made him a little jealous of Lin Yu. Although Lin Yu looked elegant and thin, he was extremely knowledgeable. He always smiled just right, and he didn't panic when the sky fell.

It should be said to be kind, because Jiang Xunyan is also such a person, but they give Qi Si a completely different feeling. After thinking about it, Qi Si can only attribute it to feeling, and sometimes feeling is the most sensitive and quick judgment.

Back at Prince Huai's Mansion, Qi Si's tense nerves were temporarily relaxed, but King An let go of the post and invited him to be a guest at Prince An's Mansion in the evening.

Qi Si still has a good impression of King An, who doesn't like his generous and indifferent personality?

There are many calligraphy and painting utensils in Prince An's Mansion, and Qi Si thought that if he knew King Rong, he would probably become a good friend.

During the time when Qi Si was in Yan State, he was constantly influenced by King Rong, and he had a good understanding of these things, and he chatted well with King An, and unconsciously talked about nightfall in the study in the mansion.

When Qi Si got up and was about to leave, a maid was about to come over to refill tea, and bumped into her for a while, the maid panicked, knocked the pen holder on the case to the ground, and repeatedly confessed.

Fortunately, it was not something valuable that was dropped. Qi Si comforted her and let her go down. She lowered her head to pick up a missing pen, but saw a few pieces of broken porcelain in a hard-to-see corner under the table.

He picked up a few pieces and hid them in his sleeves, picked up the pen, and said goodbye to King An, who praised: "Sixth brother is very self-restraining."

Qi Si smiled: "It's just a trivial matter."

Back at Duke Huai's mansion, the housekeeper eagerly came to welcome Qi Si, Qi Si said casually: "King An really has a good temper, you've heard that he gets angry."

The housekeeper smiled and said, "His Royal Highness Wang An is famous for his gentle temperament, he has never lost his temper, and he treats people with ease."

Qi Si smiled, went back to the room, took out the broken porcelain that he had picked up, and saw it clearly under the light.

The patterns and textures of the broken porcelain are different, but they are all good porcelain. Looking at the cracks on the edges, they are all broken. Thinking of the momentary panic and panic of the little maidservant when she bumped into something, she couldn't help frowning.

Wang An may not be as good-tempered as he seems. Without outsiders, he may be irritable from time to time, throwing cups and cups. The people around him know this, so they are very sensitive.

But the maidservant's panic wasn't exaggerated. King An probably wouldn't take people down and get angry. It seemed that he was just sullen and threw things in his heart. He wasn't as fairy-like as outsiders, and he wasn't violent. .

What made him so angry and depressed was probably only the unsatisfactory affairs of the court. The courtiers followed the wind, and King Jia's complacency couldn't be avoided every day. However, Emperor Hongjia was so dissatisfied. King An, who has all the advantages of the land, has come to such a situation where he can't advance or retreat.
