After Lu Qipei was dragged away by Qi Yang, he packed up well, but after a day of tossing, they were also tired. After the trouble, Lu Sheng was sent away, and after a simple wash, he lay down on his soft and comfortable big bed, and soon fell into his dream.
The next day, as Qi Yang said, the emperor urgently restarted his administration, so he could have taken advantage of the leisurely days of Qiu Shou to shorten two days for no reason. There were also many people who couldn't keep up their spirits in the early days. After all, not only did they get nothing out of this autumn hunt, but they were also shocked for two days, and they also felt exhausted physically and mentally.
Fortunately, no one dared to show dissatisfaction in front of the emperor, so the morning of this day was as peaceful as ever.
However, after noon, the Princess Mansion received the emperor's reward. The reward was not the real money that Qi Yang thought at first, she was added to a thousand households by the emperor. This reward is by no means stingy, especially since the emperor was fond of Qi Yang, and her food court is also the most among the princesses, and now that it is added, it leaves a group of sisters far behind, compared to King Wei and others The feudal fiefs are not too few.
Qi Yang was quite satisfied with this, but the only pity was that Lu Qipei was a civil servant, and it was impossible for him to be promoted based on Qiu Shou's performance. In order to appease her, the emperor gave her a good bow, which is better than nothing.
Except for King Wei, who was still lying in the mansion and couldn't get out of bed, and Dali Si Qing, who was left in the hunting ground to investigate the case, the autumn hunt was now over. In the days that followed, Lu Qipei became even more busy. Where can I take Qi Yang to play when I have time off
It had been a little half a month since Dali Siqing returned, and as soon as he returned to Beijing, he went directly to the palace to report to the emperor. After leaving the palace, he was even more tight-lipped. No one knew what he had found in the hunting ground, and no one even knew whether he had stayed in the hunting ground for such a long time. However, after seeing that the prince was fine, no one forced him to ask, and the court situation was still stable.
As Shaoqing, Lu Qipei is the closest person to Dali Siqing, not to mention that Dali Siqing had a good relationship with her. Others thought that for the sake of the prince, she would definitely inquire about this matter, but in fact she didn't ask a word.
The return of the Dali Temple Minister does not seem to have much impact, and the Dali Temple is business as usual. Lu Qipei only explained to him the affairs of the government office in the past half-month, and did not say a word of superfluous words. And she kept the Dali Temple in good order during this time, but Sir Siqing was quite satisfied with her. When she came back to see the emperor again, she couldn't help but praise her a few words.
The emperor himself was very picky about his son-in-law, but when he heard the praise from others, he was naturally happy when his own junior was praised. Especially knowing that Lu Qipei didn't inquire about anything, she felt that she understood her senses and was not selfish.
In the next few days, Lu Qipei did nothing, and the emperor's impression of her was three points better. Even the crown prince, Xu Shi saw that she had not moved from beginning to end, and gradually let down his guard. However, after rescuing the eldest grandson before, the connection between the princess' mansion and the East Palace seems to have increased.
The estrangement between the young couple and the prince seems to have been remedied by the eldest grandson.
Time passes slowly in the calm on the surface, but the surging undercurrents hidden in the calm are not something that ordinary people can see.
After autumn and winter, when the first snow fell, Lu Qipei finally received the news that Beirong was different.
At that time, Qi Yang was sitting by the brazier and roasting the fire, next to Lu Sheng and her rabbit, which was a few laps older. When she had nothing to do, she peeled an orange and was feeding it everywhere. Lu Sheng was the first, and the white and fat rabbit she raised was the second. When she was fed to Lu Qipei, she realized that the corners of her lips were smiling, and her eyes were even brighter, obviously very happy. look.
Qiyang delivered the orange to Lu Qipei's lips and fed it, and then she ate a piece of it herself, and then asked, "What are you looking at? Why are you so happy?"
Lu Qipei had an obvious smile in his eyes, and he didn't say anything, just handed over the letterhead he just read.
Qi Yang took it and glanced at it indifferently. Ben was a little careless. After he saw what was written on the letter, his eyes immediately lit up. She threw down the half-eaten oranges, grabbed Lu Qipei's sleeve and asked, "Is it finally done?"
She withheld the subject, but who she was referring to and what she was talking about was tacit.
Lu Qipei smiled, raised his hand and tapped the letter in her hand: "Would this save a lot of trouble?"
Someone will take the shot, of course, it will save trouble. In the past few years, the two have developed very well, and they have silently cultivated a group of forces, both in court and in private. But no matter how you say it, the foundation laid in a short period of time is not very deep. They wanted to move Xie Yuan, but they didn't mention how powerful he was. Just relying on the fact that others were in Beirong was enough to make people feel beyond their reach.
Lu Qipei could only send a caravan to Rongguo, which gradually formed a news network, and she even bought some small and medium officials from Rongguo. But in any case, these forces are not enough to pose a threat to Xie Yuan, and even the corners of his clothes are difficult to touch.
The young couple are confident. If they are given time to manage slowly, Xie Yuan is not an insurmountable mountain. But time is precious, and they don't want to waste a lot of time because of intrigue, so they simply lead to misfortune.
I don't know if it was the crown prince or the emperor, but in just a few months, Emperor Rong and Xie were far from their hearts.
Originally, Xie Yuan assisted Emperor Rong to unify the northern land and establish the kingdom of Rong, which was widely used and trusted by the latter. But his origin is the biggest hidden danger. When no one mentions it, Emperor Rong certainly doesn't think much, but if one person tells him that Xie Yuan has ulterior motives, two people say Xie Yuan's wolf ambition, and three people say Xie Yuan to him Missing the homeland... What will Emperor Rong think
The most terrible thing is that Xie Yuan really misses his homeland! Even if he never professed this, it can be seen that he is quite disdainful of those barbarians in his heart just by looking at the six arts when he raised his children and never having them learn the traditions of the Rong tribe.
Xie Yuan didn't hide it in the past, also because he was so powerful that no one dared to talk too much. But now some people have started to mention these in front of Emperor Rong. This person said something, that person mentioned two points. Over time, it is all evidence, so why not make people suspicious? What's more, the Rong Kingdom has been established for several years, and Emperor Rong gradually has the emperor's ambition and desire for power, how can he be willing to split power with Xie Yuan for a long time
It's just that Xie Yuan was highly skilled and capable before, so Emperor Rong was not good at showing anything, or he suppressed his thoughts early on. But things are different now, things have been brought to the fore, and there are still so many people who can't stand Xie Yuan, and Emperor Rong's mind suddenly becomes alive...
In fact, this is the most simple distance meter. After all, Xie Yuan was from Liang, and he was opposed to the natural position of Rong Di in the north. Moreover, although he is talented, the grassland peoples fight with each other, and they used to use force to determine the strong and the weak, and most people still worship the strong. Xie Yuan's talent is somewhat "unacceptable" in Rongguo, and his status is far from being as stable as it seems.
It's just that Xie Yuan is smart and has high means. If it were Lu Qipei and the others who would take action, let alone handing the words of discord to Emperor Rong's ears, I'm afraid that the person who arranged it would be intercepted by him before he even opened his mouth. By the way, he would be able to find them all!
This is also the reason why Lu Qipei and the others have been afraid to act, but the emperor and the crown prince are obviously going to have to use a lot of clever methods. No matter how bad it is, even if Xie Yuan noticed it, what could he do? Anyway, he couldn't get revenge, and the seeds of doubt were also planted in Emperor Rong's heart.
As far as this game is concerned, Xie Yuan has already lost, and he was caught off guard.
And then a wrong step, a wrong step. No matter who made the move this time, there must be a lot of tricks waiting for Xie Yuan.
This news is really comforting, but how can such an opportunity be passed up so easily? Lu Qipei's eyes were darkened, and he said to Qi Yang, "Your Highness, tell me, at this time, should we add some more firewood to it, so that the fire can burn more vigorously?"
As soon as Qi Yang smiled and said ok, he heard a "click" and sparks splashed from the brazier in front of him.
Both of them were stunned, turned their heads to look, and saw that Lu Sheng was throwing charcoal into the brazier with an innocent face. Seeing that both of them were looking over, she raised her small face and showed them a innocent and harmless smile. Only a pair of eyes are shining, as if waiting for praise.
The young couple looked at the brazier and then at the dumpling, and after realizing it, they couldn't help but laugh. Qi Yang even hugged Lu Sheng into his arms, saying "Why is A Sheng so cute", while holding the dumplings in joy.
Lu Sheng blinked blankly, tilted his head and thought for a while, thinking that Qi Yang's words should be complimenting her, so he smiled contentedly.
I felt pity for the rabbit who was originally held by Lu Sheng in his arms. When Qi Yang suddenly hugged Lu Sheng, he was caught in the middle, almost suffocating to death. After finally struggling to jump out, he jumped in a panic, and went straight to the direction of the brazier. Fortunately, Lu Qipei was quick-witted. He was afraid that Lu Sheng would cry again if something happened to the rabbit. He grabbed it by one hind leg and rescued it from above the brazier!
Fortunately, the rabbit was spared the fate of being a roast rabbit. He was only stunned by the rising flames in a hurry, not only the brows and whiskers of the rabbit were roasted and bent, but even the originally white fur on its face turned yellow a lot.
Lu Qipei threw the rabbit aside before kicking his legs, and looking at his "miserable" appearance, he couldn't help but feel Coke.
On the contrary, Lu Sheng was startled, and hurriedly struggled out of Qi Yang's arms, then picked up her precious rabbit and checked it out. In the end, I found that apart from the yellowing of the hair and the curling of the beard, the rabbit itself was fine.
The little dumpling breathed a sigh of relief, not knowing that the hair was browned, and took out a handkerchief from his arms to wipe the rabbit's face.
The rabbit was well-behaved in her arms, neither kicking nor struggling. Even when I was forced to wipe my face, I always felt a little unlovable, and finally I started to comb my hair with my paws together.
Qi Yang and Lu Qipei also felt a little amused when they saw the interaction between these two little animals, and they looked back after watching for a while. Then Lu Qipei looked at the three-pointed flames in the brazier, and looked at Qi Yang, knowing that he had no idea.
