When Qi Xiao and Qi Ping arrived at the Tai Chi Palace, all the other guests had already arrived. Qi Ping was seated behind Chu Ping, opposite to the visiting envoys and officials, Sedan was the first to sit, and after that several people sat do not know.

After everyone kowtowed, they poured wine for Qi Xiao and then offered wine to the officials one by one. Qi Xiao raised his glass, and everyone present raised their glasses to wish Dayu eternal life, long live my emperor, and the banquet was officially opened.Qi Xiao clapped her hands twice, and two groups of light-footed women walked out of the door. All of them were dressed in dancing clothes and singing fans, and they danced in the center with the silk and bamboo strings of the musician next to them.

Chang'er waited on Qi Ji, knowing that she didn't drink well, and the empty wine glass was not filled, but just a shallow glass.Over there, Sedan is a bold person and has already drank with the surrounding ministers. The Zhuyeqing in the Central Plains is not high enough to compare with Beixun shochu.

Seeing that Qi Ping was not speaking, Sedan just sat quietly watching the singing and dancing performance, so he raised his voice a little and said, "I heard that Princess Yihe is very talented, I wonder if I can present a piece of music."

Qi Ji shook her head quickly after hearing this. Although she had read books on rites, music, songs and fu, she had never directed them, and she knew nothing about rhythm. "Sir Sedan, I'm sorry, I don't have much talent and learning, so I won't make a fool of myself here. I hope you will forgive me for being punished with a glass of wine." After speaking, he picked up the wine glass and drank it down.

Sedan is also a man of temperament. Seeing that Qi Ping is so cheerful and not pretentious, he laughed and took his own wine glass and took a drink with his head up. He filled the wine himself and said, "Princess, I am serious. It is because my subordinates have not considered it carefully. , I hope you will take care of your subordinates in the future, and here is a toast to the princess."

The rest of the Beixun special envoys met with the team leader and made a toast to Qi Ping, knowing that Qi Ping would be their future princess, they seized the opportunity to toast to Qi Ping one by one, but Qi Ping drank three or four glasses in a row, blushing .

Qi Xiao, who was sitting in the distance with his head supported, couldn't help frowning when he saw this, and said, "I heard that King Bikun of Ru Kingdom is in poor health, has it improved recently?"

Hearing the Empress's question, the special envoy and his team immediately put down their wine glasses, turned around to face Qi Xiao, and replied respectfully: "Your Majesty does not know, this is the reason why the Second Prince was unable to come this time." He continued to talk, Sedan changed his relaxed expression just now, and turned to look sad: "The second prince inherits the throne and the people return to it. Recently, the king's health is getting worse day by day, but the fourth prince Azamu is plotting evil, and even colluding with the barbarians. Trying in vain to recruit foreign countries to recruit traitors!"

"Barbarian?" Chu Ping, who had been silent all this time, suddenly asked, "Barbarian and Bei Xun have been having disputes on the border of the Luqun Mountains. Could it be that your fourth prince is planning to cede the Fan land in order to gain power?"

"It's just like what King Yan said. After the second prince heard the news, he was busy looking for evidence, so he couldn't come. It's a pity." Sedan shook his head in distress, "The other party is very hidden."

"Evidence?" Qi Xiao suddenly sneered, "It's just useless things. There are soldiers and powers, and Azamu knew this very well, so he colluded with the barbarians."

"But the second prince is single and weak..."

"King Xi." Qi Xiao interrupted Sedan, and cast his eyes on Chu Ping, "I remember that you have 20 tiger generals stationed in Liaocheng."

"Exactly."

"Then send [-] elite cavalry to assist Wumeng, general, let Shen Lian lead the team." Before Chu Ping could answer, Qi Xiao turned to Sedan and said, "Since Princess Yihe will marry you Second Prince, I will naturally help him, so don't worry too much."

In fact, Wu Meng personally selected all the foreign envoys this time, and the purpose of coming here was to borrow Dayu's power, but unexpectedly Dayu proposed a marriage proposal in person, and Sedan knew that Qi Xiao would definitely stand by the second prince's side after receiving the marriage decree , will deliberately say the previous words, this will achieve the goal and hastily kowtow to thank you.

After just a few short conversations, Qi Yi already understood in his heart that the three kingdoms of Dayu, Beixun, and Manyi have always been in a delicate balance, but now everyone wants to break this balance, so one of them is bound to usher in the end of the day. Disaster, but she has always wanted to stay away from these power struggles, but it has become a key to breaking the balance.

At the end of the banquet, Chu Ping was slightly drunk and was helped into the carriage by his servants. Wu Tou, the military adviser who had been with him for many years in the carriage, saw his expression slightly sullen, and asked, "What's the matter tonight, I think you are not looking well."

"Your Majesty is going to transfer my [-] elite soldiers to the Northern Xun territory." Chu Ping played with the finger on his thumb, his eyes were a little fierce, "and he will send Shen Lian to lead the troops."

Wu Tou's complexion sank, and he said with a distressed expression: "It seems that His Majesty is starting to guard against you, I wonder what the king's plan is."

"Hmph, since she became sensible, she has disobeyed me everywhere, and she has become more blatant recently. She really is that kind of person. Do fifty thousand elite soldiers want to trap me, but she can exchange blood for all the ruling and opposition parties?" At this point , Chu Ping laughed suddenly, making Wu Tou confused for a while, "Let her make trouble, anyway, it's been ten years, and it will be another year, just one year, finally, let me wait so hard."

After saying this, Chu Ping leaned back and closed his eyes to fall asleep, and said nothing more. Wu Tou found a blanket in the car to cover him, but he still couldn't guess what the prince was thinking, and the carriage drove slowly all the way. Take the palace.

In the early morning of the second day, Chu Ping went to the study of the Hall of Mental Cultivation to find Qi Xiao to discuss the matter of dispatching troops. Bei Xun envoy Sedan was with him, and he roughly talked about the current situation in the country. After a few words, Qi Xiao suddenly said that he still had There are important matters to be done, so they are asked to come back at another day, and the people present are screened away.

As soon as the door of the study room was closed, Qi Xiao squinted her eyes and waited quietly for a while. After making sure that the idlers had left, she said quietly to the empty study room, "Okay, come out."

A black figure leaped from the beam and landed in the center of the study room without making any sound. This person was dressed in dark blue, with dark blue gloves on his hands, and a gleaming unicorn knife hung under his black belt. , this will bow respectfully in front of Qi Xiao.

Still squinting her eyes, Qi Xiao asked, "Sign, did something happen?"

"Reporting to Your Majesty, Princess Yihe spends most of her days in Lanyue Palace reading books and practicing calligraphy, nothing else." This is a clear male voice, and Qi Xiao's deep awe is revealed in the official tone, "It's just that the recent Gong, she has been going to a bookstore."

Hearing this, Qi Xiao said disapprovingly: "She has loved books since she was a child, so she must have gone looking for them."

"I think so too, but she is wearing men's clothes when she is out of the palace recently, and it takes an hour to go there."

This aroused Qi Xiao's vigilance, raised his eyebrows and asked, "Did you find anything?"

"Teaching." Zi replied, and then took out a piece of raw-edged paper from his pocket and presented it to Qi Xiao, "This is what Chen Chen got inside after sneaking in, please have a look at it, Your Majesty."

On the rough-edged paper, I remembered that it was one of the well-known 24 filial piety stories. Qi Xiao recognized at a glance that it was written by Qi Ping with the beautiful lowercase characters. One can imagine the appearance of that person lying in front of the desk and copying seriously, with the corners of his mouth like There seems to be nothing evoked a smile.

This faint smile is so charming, I have never seen her like this after following Qi Xiao for many years, and after looking at it for a while, the smile will be like a night-blooming epiphyllum, returning to her usual sober face. "That's interesting, let her go." Qi Xiao casually threw the raw edged paper into the stove next to him, and after getting along with this royal girl for just over a month, she thought she was used to her unreasonable character, but unexpectedly she hid it This hand, "You just continue to follow her secretly, no special circumstances, and report to me in five days."

The black shadow disappeared in a flash, and the last corner of the rough-edged paper was burned in the stove.
