The king was wrong

After Wei Yanxi finished speaking, he didn't hear an answer for a long time. He looked towards Qi Yaoqing, only to see him standing in the same place and looking at him with surprise in his eyes.

"You don't believe it?" Wei Yanxi raised her eyebrows, her expression was as usual, as if the previous anger never happened at all.

"No, I believe in you." Qi Yaoqing suddenly lowered his eyes, "I just... just can't accept it for a while. It's really unexpected that the matter in the inner court of the deep palace can involve the disputes between the previous dynasty and even the country."

"The harem and the former dynasty are originally the existence of pulling one hair and moving the whole body." Wei Yanxi snorted disdainfully, "If you think that the harem can survive without the former dynasty, you are really wrong. The opposite is also true. If your sister is not the queen, do you think your father can still flaunt the title of Duke, and you can still stand here and listen to the king call you 'Wangfei'?"

The harem and the front seem to have nothing to do with each other on the surface, but in fact the entanglement underneath is intertwined.Most of the concubines come from the family of the ministers of the former dynasty, and one person shoulders the safety and honor of the family. Many officials of the former dynasty are close relatives of the concubines in the harem. Whether they are favored in the harem is directly related to their status in the former dynasty. of.

Therefore, those ancient edicts that "the harem must not interfere in politics" often sound good, but it is extremely difficult to implement.

Qi Yaoqing has no objection to this point, he is very clear about the connections between the former dynasty and the harem.Take Sheng Guogong's mansion as an example, if Qi Songjin hadn't entered the palace at the beginning and hadn't stood out from the crowd and become a queen, it would be difficult for Qi Xiaosu to win the title of Duke of this country.

But now he did it easily, why?Because he has a good daughter.

Why can I marry into Prince Yong's mansion under the spotlight of all the people?Because he has a good sister.

At least in the eyes of most people, she is a good sister.

"That's right, my minister... is really ignorant."

Qi Yaoqing replied lightly, then bowed his head in silence.

His former literary friends often talked about the war between Lanchao and Beidi, and the battle two years ago was the most mentioned and criticized by them.He had heard that that battle was the heaviest casualty since the war with Beidi, but he never thought that such a heavy casualty was actually caused by the current queen, that is, his elder sister.

Qi Yaoqing felt a little disappointed in this eldest sister who had no feelings at all because of how many soldiers on the border had been harmed by her own selfish desires.

On the other side, Wei Yanxi stood there with his hands behind his back, quietly watching Qi Yaoqing bow his head and think about his thoughts.His expression is either sad, regretful, or helpless, but none of them are fake.He should really feel wronged by those soldiers and ashamed of what his elder sister did, Wei Yanxi thought so.

He looked at Qi Yaoqing's furrowed brows, and suddenly felt a little unbearable.It seems unreasonable to impose Qi Songjin's actions on Qi Yaoqing. They are not the same person. Although they have the same father, they have always lived different lives and have been influenced by different people.He had no reason to transfer his dislike of Qi Songjin to Qi Yaoqing.

"I'm sorry, my king... I'm a bit serious, so don't take it to heart."

Touching her nose in embarrassment, Wei Yanxi felt that she was really useless enough.He is the majestic King Yong of the Lan Dynasty, a majestic general king on the battlefield who looks like a god's mansion, and now he apologized twice in just three days, and it was still to the same person!

The key point is that this person is still the princess he should hate the most!

Wei Yanxi felt that since marrying this princess, she seemed to have become less like herself...

Shaking her head, trying to get rid of these messy thoughts, Wei Yanxi decided to temporarily attribute all her abnormalities to the compensation after the "divorce agreement" with the princess last night.

"Okay, it's getting late, let's go." Wei Yanxi rubbed her head in frustration, and continued walking forward.

Unexpectedly, Qi Yaoqing, who had been silent for a long time behind him, suddenly spoke out.

"No, what the lord said is not serious." He did not follow Wei Yanxi's pace this time, but stood still, and said softly but firmly: "What the elder sister does is related to the country, the country, As a younger brother, it is my fault that I can't stop it, the prince is just telling the truth that I can't see clearly, how can I say it seriously?"

"Besides," he paused, looked up at Wei Yanxi's eyes, his black pupils were clear and sincere, "I am very grateful to the prince, I didn't put all these things away just because I was born in the Duke of Shengguo's mansion with the surname 'Qi' on my head." Keeping the subject in the dark, the subject continues to be kept in the dark. Since childhood, the subject has longed to go to the frontier to fight the enemy, become a famous general, or enter the court to help the country and become a minister. However, the impermanence of heaven cannot be changed by manpower Now that I have married into Prince Yong's mansion in the name of a concubine, I can't count all those Xiaoxiang in the past. Even if I have the honor to fulfill my promise to the prince one day, the prince will give me a letter of divorce as promised, and return the minister Freedom, but... after all, it's still impossible, isn't it?"

How can a man and wife who has been divorced by her husband embark on an official career again?His road to Qingyun ended when that imperial decree was issued.Even if he can really get rid of the identity of Concubine Yong in the future, the fact that he was once married as a **** is like a stain that cannot be washed away, and he will have to recite it for a lifetime.

Qi Yaoqing knew this from the very beginning, so he never expected to step into the imperial court one day, he only hoped that he could do what he could for the people's livelihood in the world.

Of course, he also once thought that if one day Wei Yanxi could see his talent and was willing to reuse him, then maybe his road ahead would be much smoother.

But after seeing Wei Yanxi for real, such naive thoughts disappeared a lot.During getting along and talking with Wei Yanxi, Qi Yaoqing gradually understood that the person he was really guarding against was not himself, but the Duke of Sheng and the queen standing behind him.He may not hate himself as much as he imagined, it's just because he occupies the seat of his Concubine Yong, that's why he has been treating each other coldly and being on guard at all times.

So Qi Yaoqing insisted that Wei Yanxi divorce herself after finding his "Little Seven Sister".

Maybe I just want to get a free body, so I don't have to be trapped in a small courtyard for decades to come.

Maybe he didn't want his talents to be buried by the identity of a man's wife. Even if he couldn't become an official in the future, he could still talk about state affairs with his former literary friends without hindrance.

Or maybe he still has a selfish intention, just because he doesn't want to live with someone who looks similar to himself in Prince Yong's Mansion. Although he bears the title of "Concubine Yong" every day, he can only get alienated by Wei Yanxi.

Although he has never met him before, he still hopes that there will be someone who is willing to stay by his side no matter how poor or poor he is, and will never leave him.

That is what ordinary people would long for, the love that goes hand in hand.

Qi Yaoqing sighed lowly, showing a very shallow smile, looked at Wei Yanxi with gentle eyes and said: "My lord can talk about these court affairs with me today, it can be regarded as my dream come true. I am here... Thank you Lord."

After finishing speaking, he made a bow in an upright manner, causing Wei Yanxi to be at a loss as to what to do.

This is the first time Qi Yaoqing has told him clearly about his ideals and ambitions.

He was also puzzled before, so the spies he sent out reported that although Qi Yaoqing's life in the Duke's mansion was not satisfactory, he was indeed a talented and ambitious person.Wei Yanxi never understood that such a graceful and resourceful person would be willing to marry him as his wife.

Is he really willing to see the hard work and sweat of decades of hard study in vain?

Wei Yanxi felt that until today, he had a little understanding of this princess who descended from the sky because of an imperial decree.Maybe he would be willing to marry himself is also a last resort choice.

Looking at Qi Yaoqing's clean smile and those clear eyes, Wei Yanxi seemed to see the person who made him think about it day and night again in a trance.

If you were the one who rescued me on Yanqiu Mountain that day, how wonderful it would be...

It's a pity that Wei Yanxi slapped this thought down as soon as it came out—what the hell was he thinking, it's simply absurd to associate little sister Qi with this man in front of him!

Taking a deep breath, Wei Yanxi calmed down a little, tried to maintain her usual expressionless face and said: "Okay, don't talk about such nonsense, let's go."

This time, Wei Yanxi didn't look back after turning around.

But this time, Qi Yaoqing also followed behind him without stopping.
