His Majesty Meow Raises Fish [Rebirth]

However, no matter whether it is Concubine Yao or Prince Feng, it has something to do with Lao Liu.

After all, he also investigated the case with the fifth prince, and indeed he had some chance to pick up the concubine of the Zhuang family in advance, so as to force Zhuang Jinshi to bite Prince Heng to death.

It's a pity that when they chased here, there was no trace of them, and they might have been silenced.

However, Qi Jing is not surprised at all, the people behind the scenes will tear up the promise - living people, never dead people can keep secrets.

As for why it was delayed until later, I'm afraid it was waiting for the death after the autumn. The dealer had no more survivors left, and they finished it again, which was equivalent to sending Zhuang Jinshi's family together.

When Zhuang Jinshi was alive, he forced the laborers who built the canal for his political achievements, causing many people to lose their lives. When he was dying, he slandered the second prince in order to stay behind.

"The escaped concubine was pregnant when she left Mengliang, so conspicuous, there must be some traces, you continue to investigate in Laiyi," he thought for a while and said: "Think of a way to pass the news to An Guogong, remember, it is Anguo male."

The reason why they were able to find clues again was because the escaped concubine was pregnant, which was somewhat different among ordinary refugees.

Although Laiyiwei is also within Duke An's sphere of influence, Qi Jing feels that the matter is important, and he is not at ease if he does not leave it to his grandfather to watch for himself.

Liu Bai and Liu Song replied: "Yes, Your Highness." Now that the situation in central Beijing has stabilized, they don't have to guard all of their personnel in the capital, so that no one is available.

Qi Jing thought for a while and added: "Tell Deng Song about this matter tactfully, lest he become obsessed, but Duan Xing must keep it a secret."

Luo Qin is a gentleman, even if he may not be obsessed with the past marriage, if he knows the news of his death, he will still be a little sad.

He should forget the painful past and pursue a more important future. Of course, he deserves the best start, so there is no need to burden Luo Qin because of irrelevant old people.

Liu Song understood His Highness's meaning: "Don't worry, Your Highness, this subordinate understands."

Although Luo Qin was rescued by His Royal Highness from Mengliang, after getting along for such a long time, they have all become part of Prince Jing's mansion.

Luo Qin is filial, and he can take the imperial examination in the future. In such a comfortable environment, coupled with his own talent and learning, he is only waiting for the opportunity to soar into the sky.

It stands to reason that if he wants to examine officials in the future, he should not live in Prince Jing's mansion for a long time, and he should even be far away from the palace. Otherwise, if he enters the court in the future, he will be regarded as a member of the palace staff by others, and he will be easily dismissed by the courtiers. It is classified as the Seven Princes.

Generally speaking, if the owner of the palace becomes the emperor, all the officials in the world are equivalent to the emperor's staff, and those who walk out of the palace with the emperor will become more dignified.

But if, like the Seventh Prince, he absolutely can't be an emperor, then his aides from Prince Jing's mansion naturally don't have this preferential treatment.

Although being a retainer of the palace is not a stain, it is inevitable that some people will gossip.

When the Seventh Prince gains power, some people will say that Luo Qin is a dog's leg to follow the power; if the Seventh Prince loses power, some people will step on the high and step down, and they will not deal with Luo Qin.

So the best way is to move out of Prince Jing's mansion as soon as possible and know how to avoid suspicion.

But Luo Qin didn't do that... He didn't stay in the Palace for the sake of power, status or his own safety.

The Seventh Prince rescued them, gave him and the other children a home, and treated him like a friend. He even took Luo Qin to Zhenguo Temple so that he could light an ever-burning lantern for his parents.

These friendships can no longer be described in ordinary words, and they cannot be written off with a few simple sentences.

Because of Luo Qin's openness and friendship with Qi Jing, he is not afraid that he may be disturbed by his relationship with the Seventh Prince in the future.

Liu Bai, Liu Song and the others saw it, so they naturally respected Luo Fuzi very much. Hearing that His Highness is thinking of him at this moment, they understand His Highness's intention very well.

"Today is the last day of the Lantern Festival. After the palace banquet, I have to take Eleven out."

After talking about the business, Qi Jing ordered: "You don't need too many people to follow, the opportunity is rare, let Deng Song and the others go out again."

Tianjing has not been this lively for a while, and during the turmoil before, the Seventh Prince's Mansion was on the cusp just like Prince Heng's Mansion, and everyone was very nervous.

Now that he finally has a chance to relax, Qi Jing also wants to make everyone happy.

Deng Song and the others lost their parents in Mengliang, but now they have started to live a good life in Qi Jing's mansion. They have a wife and a master by their side, so they are very happy to go out for a stroll during the Moon Worship Festival.

They had already gone out once two days ago, and the teenagers and children were very happy when they came back, Qi Jing thought about letting them go out again to have a good time.

After Liu Song got the order, he made arrangements, and Liu Bai went to deal with the Zhuang family's escaped concubine, and sent a letter to Laiyiwei, so that their people could report the matter to An Guogong.

The little prince here is already fully armed and waiting for his brother to enter the palace together. The two brothers went to the Lantern Festival after having a palace banquet in the palace as they did a few days ago.

Every time he participates in such a grand event, Qi Jing can't help but think of the scene when he and Shaoxuan went to the lantern festival for the first time when seeing the radiance in his eyes.

He glanced at Shaoxuan who was hugging Xiao Shiyi, and unconsciously reached out to touch his chest—the black scales Shaoxuan gave him still hung there.

A colored lantern, a piece of scale...is it their token of love?

Little Eleven was begging his Brother Shaoxuan for candied haws in a low voice, and looked at his brother quietly, and found Qi Jing was smiling, looking in a good mood, so he immediately gave up on Brother Shaoxuan who begged for no oil and salt. .

"Brother, the candied haws look so good." The little guy pointed with his fat hand, his eyes shining brightly in the light of the lights.

Qi Jing didn't know what he was thinking, and a smile came from the corner of his mouth: "It's pretty..."

Just as Xiao Shixi was happily waiting for his brother to continue, he heard his brother continue: "It's so beautiful, then you should take a look."

Little Eleven: "..."

——If you don’t buy it, then don’t buy it, at least Brother Shaoxuan won’t talk about it... Brother is stingy, huh!

Not daring to lose his temper with his brother, the little guy turned his head and leaned against Shaoxuan's chest, gently touching his lapel: "Qiuqiu is obedient, Qiuqiu is not angry."

What responded to him was a few softer "tweet chirp chirp".

After a while, a familiar person leaned over and fiddled with Eleven's arm.

The little guy smelled the sweet smell, turned his head to look, and immediately smiled.

It turned out that Qi Jing was holding a bunch of candied haws. Although several of them were bitten off and only two hawthorns remained on it, it still made Xiao Shi very happy.

"Thank you brother!" Xiao Shiyi, who was wrinkled with a smile, ended up offering the candied haws in his hand to Shaoxuan first.

Shaoxuan glanced at the candied haws, shook his head, and did not speak.

——Can't talk... Qi Jing just fed him candied haws, and the words revealed his secrets.

Little Eleven didn't know that Brother Shaoxuan was responsible for the missing candied haws, and was happily thinking about how to share it with Little Akabane.

……

After the Moon Festival, the weather became colder and colder.

However, after the second half of the year, maritime incidents gradually decreased, and the weather was not as bad as the previous two years.

The sixth prince and the seventh prince officially entered the court, and together with the three imperial brothers, they shared the worries of His Majesty.

The Ministry of Rites led by Qi Jing is used for the five rituals of Kaoji, Jia, Jun, Bin, and Ji, and handles Qingzhou official and academic affairs, imperial examinations and foreign affairs.

There are four divisions under the Ministry of Rites, namely, the Rites and Cleansing Department in charge of ceremonies, military ceremonies, academic affairs and scientific examinations; , as well as the fine meal cleanup department who is in charge of the affairs of the feast and feast.

He had also been in contact with the affairs of the Ministry of Rites because of foreign affairs before, and dealt with some officials of the Ministry of Rites, but it was not as deep.

Now that many things require him to make up his mind, Qi Jing can't be as casual as before.

Mr. Cao, Shangshu of the Ministry of Rites, is an old man. Although he is not as aggressive as a young official, he is more secure.

Originally, he had heard a lot about the "deeds" of the Seventh Prince, and he was a little worried that Prince Jing was young and vigorous.

He didn't expect that after working together, he felt that His Highness was better than the rumors - neither arrogant nor rash, serious and down-to-earth, good-natured, and not afraid of hard work, it is really rare to be able to ask questions with an open mind.

What he doesn't know is that Qi Jing is now the time to be extremely obedient in order to communicate with his father about the male princess in the future.

Qi Jing had to find a way to let his father see that it doesn't matter whether the princess is a man or a woman, as long as there is a good wife (fog) in the family, it can make people keep making progress and establish a career.

Like Qi Jing, the princes tried their best to show their faces in front of their father.

It's a pity that the efforts of the princes to share their worries did not make His Majesty feel comfortable.

It was just early winter, and His Majesty fell ill.

This time His Majesty was just a little ill, but the impact on everyone's hearts was no less than the impact of His Majesty's emergency last time.

The emperor, who had always been healthy, began to suffer from the changes of the four seasons... Doesn't this mean that the emperor's health is not as good as before? !

Worried about his father's condition for days, Qi Jing finally felt a little happy when he heard Liu Bai's report: "There is news so soon?"

"Yes, Your Highness, this is a secret letter." Liu Bai handed the letter from Lai Yiwei to Qi Jing.

Qi Jing confirmed the seal on the letter, and was sure that it was the grandfather, so he opened it to read.

Looking at it, he frowned, put the letter down, and fell into deep thought.

Liu Bai didn't know why His Highness was happy just now, but now he looked so dignified, with disbelief and confusion in his eyes.

He didn't want to disturb His Highness's thinking by making a sound, so he stood quietly aside, waiting for His Highness to clear his mind.

But at this moment, Qi Jing's mind is a mess, without any clue at all.

The secret letter was written by the patriarch An Guogong himself. It briefly described the process and results of their investigation, and listed several names and their origins.

Among them was one named Zhai Min. Duke An emphasized that he was an internal official who was released from the palace when the Empress Dowager Qianqiu was born.

Qi Zhuo followed Lao Wu to investigate the case. The Zhuang family escaped from their concubine and went to Laiyiwei where the Yao family was located, and the old palace people from the Lingqi Palace participated in it... If you look at such things one by one, Duke An can naturally conclude that, This matter has nothing to do with the sixth prince.

But Qi Jing, who had been resurrected for a lifetime, didn't understand why this Di Min was among those who hijacked his escaped concubine to go to Laiyiwei!
