Relying on the disciple card handed down by himself, Wu Zhe went all the way to the suzerain, and returned to the Autumn Leaf Garden after leaving the capital city of Qi which had already been curfew.
"Sister, why did you come back? Have you eaten yet?" Xiao Mei had been waiting at the gate of the garden long ago.
Wu Zhe's outstanding performance in the disputed river between the two villages has made his younger sister Xiao Mei a complete fan, and she counts on living with her every day.
"Sorry, I accidentally passed the time learning Xuanwu at the suzerain. Is there any food left?" Wu Zhe actually ate at the suzerain. But the physical fitness has not reached the upper limit, so it is no problem to eat more.
Entering the dining room, there are porcelain dishes upside down on the table to keep warm meals, which makes Wu Zhe feel quite warm.
However, when she realized that the food was too much, she had a headache.
Xiao Mei was afraid that her sister would not be full enough, so the portion of food left was enough for two people, and even a strong man would have to eat enough.
"Sister, is there enough to eat? Do you want to add some?"
"Is it cold? Do you want to warm it up? My hands and feet are very quick."
"Sister, eat more, the chef of this dish is very skilled."
Zong Zhilian and the others left with a smile, leaving behind a lot of hilarious words: "Ruoyao will definitely gain weight."
Hu Yunshang said heartlessly, "It's great to have such a sister."
In fact, he didn't mean anything else, but when Hu Yunjiao heard it, her eyebrows turned upside down: "Brother, what do you mean? And I often go out to play and come back late, and you haven't left me a meal."
They left each other in a row to practice, but Mu Qingya stayed with Wu Zhe and watched her eat quietly.
She also wanted to leave food for Wu Zhe, but she was thin-skinned. Seeing that Xiao Mei had already prepared, she didn't need to do anything more.
Wu Zhe ate all the food on the table under the eyes of his sister and Mu Qingya.
And in Xiao Mei's nagging.
"Sister, I went to the Everlasting Regret Pavilion today."
"Sister, I tried to do some makeup today. But the woman was not satisfied. Fortunately, Sister Ai helped me repair it."
"Sister, it turns out that doing makeup is very profitable. I must study hard and buy a lot of jewelry for my sister."
By the way, Wu Zhe slapped his forehead, put down his chopsticks and took off a string of Kodama bracelets from his wrist: "Xiao Mei, put it on and have a look."
Although Xiao Mei refused to take it, Wu Zhe said to help her keep it or it would be fragile when practicing martial arts, so he successfully transferred the jade bracelet given by Hu Yunshang's aunt.
Not long after, Wu Zhe had already cleaned up all the food on the table.
Xiao Mei was very satisfied with Wu Zhe's appetite and felt a sense of accomplishment.
When Xiao Mei was packing up the dishes, Wu Zhe noticed that there seemed to be something hidden in Mu Qingya's hand, and asked puzzledly, "Qingya, what is in your hand?"
Mu Qingya hesitated for a moment, as if she had made up her mind suddenly. She held up a pack of lotus leaf chicken legs and stuffed it to Wu Zhe, and she said in sign language: "Practicing Xuanwu consumes energy, eat more."
"..." Can Wu Zhe refuse? cannot.
So she stuffed another chicken leg into her stomach, and said with a satisfied smile: "The chicken leg Qing Ya left, I think it smells so good."
As soon as Mu Qingya's face turned red, Wu Zhe felt that his support was not in vain.
Fortunately, the digestive power of the evolutionary body is like a blender, otherwise, an ordinary girl would probably have to accumulate food if she was too full.
The physical energy bar in my mind is full, and my body shape will change just a little bit. Wu Zhe didn't dare to eat any more.
If you eat too much, the body will digest the accumulated food in a plump way. Wu Zhe now feels that he is a balloon that has been stretched to the full point, and if he is not careful, his breasts will become better (accumulation of food accumulation).
When going to bed at night, Xiao Mei rushed to sleep next to Wu Zhe.
The blessings of Qi people are not easy to enjoy... Wu Zhe, caught between Xiao Mei and Mu Qingya, sighed secretly.
***************
The inner palace of King Qi's family.
"The story written by Xiao Ruoyao is really beautiful." Concubine Qi shook a stack of papers in the bright candlelight and said to the king with a smile: "No wonder you have been talking about looking for her these days. I still wonder why you fell in love with a beautiful girl again. It turned out to be just for the story."
"It's more than a story. The charm contained in this storytelling is not as simple as the words." King Qi leaned on the couch, also holding a manuscript that had been transcribed by the eunuch, and said slowly: "The battle of the Song and Jin Dynasties, The rise of the Mongols has a strong national flavor."
"I think there must be a story told to her by some old man who has experienced vicissitudes of life."
"I think so too. It can't be from the hand of a fourteen-year-old girl. Or is it a special kind of instrument brought by the strange book, which is against the fate of the phoenix? No matter what, the story is very exciting. King Qi nodded: "Especially this Wanyan Honglie from Jin Kingdom, who I admire very much. For the woman I like, I don't even care about ruining her family, but I want to get her."
Concubine Qi rolled her eyes at him: "You men don't hesitate to kill other men just to get a woman."
King Qi laughed and said, "You women don't hesitate to kill other women in order to get a man?"
"That's true. At least I got you. I don't know how many women want to kill me. As for those in your harem, I wish I could fall to my death anytime these years." Concubine Qi also had to agree, and clicked on the content on the paper: "This I don't like Bao Xiruo's surname. Since he is loyal to his husband, why did he follow Wanyan Honglie? It's really shameless to make his son follow Wanyan's surname for more than ten years! If it's just for one child, it can be entrusted to Wanyan Honglie, anyway. I didn't see through him at the time. It's a bit unreasonable."
"Actually, Bao Xiruo's actions are quite in line with ordinary people's surnames. Everyone is different, after all, there are few strong women. But if it were you, you would have jumped into the river with your child early in the morning? You are this surname."
Concubine Qi raised her neck proudly: "Of course, how can I let my enemy raise a child? Why is she so stupid, she couldn't understand that it was a trap set by Wanyan Honglie for more than ten years? I guess she lied to herself and didn't dare to go Think over there."
King Qi nodded: "Perhaps I don't want to think that way."
"But no matter what, it's too much of a failure for her to be a husband and raise a child." Concubine Qi snorted angrily, "Wanyan Kang is the blood of the Song Dynasty, but she didn't teach him well, but instead raised a little wolf cub."
"Wanyan Kang is not incomprehensible." Qi Wang sighed: "The second child's current behavior is just like this, and he refuses to lose that possibility."
What King Qi was talking about was naturally the second prince of Qi.
Concubine Qi snorted: "You know that the second child is going to make a fuss, but you still pamper him?"
"The fourth is more suitable to be a king than him, but the second doesn't understand, and he doesn't want to understand. He should understand, not as good as the fourth, but he doesn't want to admit it." King Qi sighed: "But we are fathers, don't we? Don't give him a chance?"
Concubine Qi shook her head: "I know, I know, if the fourth child is forced to kill the second child at that time, don't feel bad about it."
"Since he was born in an emperor's family, if he always just wanted to be a leisurely prince, he would naturally have to take care of him to survive." King Qi insisted: "But he has ambitions to covet the state, so he should be prepared to be killed by other heirs. I This father will not plead for him."
Concubine Qi expressed her understanding, and reminded: "General Qi should be on guard, don't hurt the vitality of our Qi country because of him."
"So in half a month's time when I'm going to Jin, I plan to let Wei Ling take Xuanwu soldiers to follow the fourth child, and see General Qi's attitude. If he refuses..." King Qi's eyes flashed coldly.
The country's military deployment is based on the country as the basic concept, and the overall situation should not be affected by self-interest.
Wei Ling was trained by General Qi, but in the eyes of King Qi, the scarce resources of Xuanwu female generals cannot be used as private soldiers, and can only be under the control of the royal family.
If General Qi doesn't follow King Qi's order and doesn't allow Wei Ling to go with the prince, it's a huge challenge to the royal power, and he must consider how to deal with it.
There is a reason for the son to temporarily leave Qi to be an envoy to Jin.
The director of Jin Zuoguo's doctorate channel had already visited King Qi, and he embarrassingly raised the wish of King Jin to host a daughter.
The relationship between Qi State and Jin State is indestructible, but what kind of wind is King Jin smoking? To actually ask Concubine Qi's youngest daughter to be her hostage? !
King Qi was furious. Although he didn't show up in front of the head of the Bo channel, he turned the table directly after returning to the palace. Even Wu Zhe's precious and important writings and calligraphy have also been damaged, which shows that he was simply stunned.
At that time, Concubine Qi saw that King Qi was angry, but instead of being angry, she spoke kindly to persuade her.
This is a kind of wisdom of a concubine, a kind of self-cultivation, and an attitude to win the favor of men. Originally, the youngest daughter was asked to be a hostage, and Concubine Qi should be furious.
As her biological mother, her precious little daughter was asked to be a hostage by the brainless King Jin, wouldn't she be annoyed? Concubine Qi was a famous little pepper in the Jianghu.
But when King Qi was already furious, Concubine Qi didn't add fuel to the fire.
She wisely chose not to get angry, but instead persuaded King Qi to be patient and to maintain the friendly alliance between the two countries.
Where can I find such a reasonable concubine? Therefore, Concubine Qi was able to occupy the position of the main palace, unshakable for twenty years.
The suzerain found someone close to him and discussed secretly for a long time.
The prince rightly suggested that he would personally go out and take his younger sister to the Kingdom of Jin. Prepare enough gold and silver pills and other important gifts, win over some important ministers around King Jin, and try to ask King Jin to relax the conditions for the quality of women. Then let King Jin see if my sister is really weak and not suitable to be a hostage girl, and whether she can be replaced.
With such an attitude of the prince personally bringing his younger sister, and with the help of important ministers to speak, the matter will definitely ease.
King Qi and Concubine Qi thought for a long time, and even consulted the suzerain, Foshuai and others, and decided that this was the last resort.
Wu State is too powerful, Qi State can't read well, and there can't be cracks in the relationship with Jin State.
It's just that the eldest son and the little princess are traveling, and this reliance must be protected. King Qi even prepared to transfer the close-fitting appointment masters.
At the same time, Fo Shuai suggested that Xiao Ruoyao go with him.
After some consideration, the suzerain agreed. After all, although disciples need to be cared for, they still can't be old hens for a lifetime. They have to go out and experience something. This time, it is much safer to go to the Jin Kingdom with the eldest son to gain experience than to go out alone, so why not do it? . )
