With trembling hands, Ma Shi bowed to hold Pang Xiao's face, and rubbed his thumb on his cheek to make sure that the skin in his hands was warm. This was indeed her beloved grandson, and tears blurred her vision again. , under the excitement, he did not forget to lower his voice:
"Dafu, Dafu, you're back! You stinky child! Do you know that you're scaring your grandmother to death!"
Ma's temperament is strong, Pang Xiao has never seen her so nearly collapsed, his nose is sore, and he almost burst into tears.
Pang Xiao's face rubbed against Ma's hand, "Grandma, don't be sad, isn't it all right, kid? Not only is I fine, but the Holy One is fine too."
After Pang Xiao's intentional reminder, Ma's heart froze, and gradually calmed down. He glanced at him and saw that the person next to him dressed like a banshee was not who is the saint today
Ma Shi bit his cheeks and tried his best not to notice anything strange, so he gave Li Qitian a big gift.
"Lao Shen sends his condolences to the Sage. The old man's eyes are dim. He was so excited to see Dafu, and I was rude for a while. Please forgive me."
Li Qitian supported his hands and said with a smile: "Why does the old lady have to be so polite, it's all her own, I and Xi have never been separated from each other, but now I want to disturb the mansion..."
Ma's simple and honest smile: "It's our honor to talk about harassment. You haven't eaten yet, have you? In this case, I will order someone to prepare meals and wash clothes." Looking at Ji Zeyu's mud, Pang Xiao He and Li Qitian were also in a state of embarrassment, Ma said with a heartache: "Hey, you all suffered."
Qin Yining supported his waist and whispered to Mrs. Ma, "Grandma, it is not appropriate to spread the news of the salvation of the Holy Lord and Dafu, so don't make any excuses when you go out. If anyone asks, you can tell me that Ding Beihou is sending me back, for the sake of I only want to leave the meal as a thank you.”
Ma sternly nodded: "Hey, grandma knows, you can rest assured. Later, when I'm ready, I'll set up a meal in the front hall, and let my in-laws entertain Dingbeihou outside. The sage will be a little wronged. Let's eat in the garden."
Li Qitian was so happy and said with a smile, "Thanks to your thoughtful thinking."
"Saint Shangxiu wants to be so polite, but it will be old." Ma Shili completed a few weeks before turning around and stepping back, and went to make arrangements with a fast pace.
Not long after, Xianyun and Lian Xiaozhu came with a change of clothes. When they saw Pang Xiao back, Xianyun and Lian Xiaozhu jumped up and down with joy. Qin Yining had to ask them again. The two were loyal to Qin Yining and did things well. Know what to do, even if you know what to do.
Pang Xiao led Li Qitian and Ji Zeyu to take a detour to bathe and change clothes in the clean room prepared in the back room.
The three big men were originally from the military. In the early years, they fought together on the battlefield. It's just that after enjoying the wealth, everyone's mind has changed.
Now the three of them have become mud monkeys. When a ladle of warm water is poured down, black water is directly washed down. The three big men looked at each other and couldn't help laughing.
The estrangement between Li Qitian and Pang Xiao is almost non-existent in this matter.
Li Qitian wiped the soap horns on his head and sighed in a low voice, "It was the three of us who fought the world earlier, and now it is the three of us."
Pang Xiao wrapped the towel around his palm twice and rubbed his body. Hearing this, he couldn't help laughing and said, "Isn't it true? It's hard to fight in the mountains, and it's even harder to sit in the mountains. But don't worry about the sage, the loyalty of the ministers and others will remain the same as before."
Ji Zeyu also nodded. His washed long hair was rolled up behind his head. The dripping drops of water slid down his back, which was as white as jade but covered with scars.
The three of them were covered with scars. Li Qitian was slightly better, but also had some scars. Pang Xiao and Li Qitian both have scars from the fatal wound that almost killed them at the beginning.
Li Qitian looked at the two with mixed feelings in his heart.
For a moment, he even felt that it was wrong for him to be suspicious of the two and to kill Pang Xiao.
They fought so much before, but now he was forced by the situation to hide in the Prince Zhongshun's mansion.
The road ahead is still unknown.
Li Qitian sighed melancholy, and the three continued to scrub together.
Qin Yining also washed and changed clothes in this room, and while the three of them went to bathe, he went to the front hall to meet Qin Huaiyuan.
Qin Yining smiled and said, "I have some abdominal pain on the mountain today. Thanks to Dingbeihou for sending me down the mountain, my father will help me to entertain guests later. It's good to thank Dingbeihou."
Qin Huaiyuan looked at Qin Yining's complexion, and saw her radiant complexion, the corners of her eyes and brows were filled with joy that could not be hidden, as if the suffering of these days had been swept away, and she knew what to do.
To make her daughter so happy, it must be that Pang Xiao has good news.
Qin Huaiyuan nodded and said, "Don't worry. My father will help you treat guests later."
"Thank you, father. I'll have dinner later. My father will come to my place. I still have something to discuss with my father."
Qin Huaiyuan moved in his heart, nodded clearly and said, "Got it."
Qin Yining and Ma Shi personally watched the people prepare the food and drink, and then took them back to Siqing Garden.
After washing, the black hair was neatly put up in a bunch of high behind his head, and he changed into a sapphire arrow sleeve robe with a sapphire blue pattern before Pang Xiao's upper body. Ji Zeyu, who was wearing a jade belt around his waist, was led by his maid to the front hall. .
Ji Zeyusheng is fair-skinned, and his appearance is also partial to beauty, but his body is similar to Pang Xiao's. Wearing this robe with gorgeous patterns on him, he is a little more frosty.
Seeing Qin Huaiyuan, Ji Zeyu bowed his hands first: "Uncle Qin."
"Dingbei Hou is going to rest soon, please take a seat."
After Ji Zeyu was seated, he and Qin Huaiyuan had dinner together. The two of them talked about things on the mountain, and Ji Zeyu only stated that he would continue to dig in the future, and Qin Huaiyuan also cooperated very well and found that he was melancholy and anxious.
Ji Zeyu left after finishing his meal.
Qin Huaiyuan specially ordered someone to prepare a good horse for Ji Zeyu.
After Ji Zeyu rode his horse away, Qin Huaiyuan was carried by his servants to Siqing Garden.
And a group of people who were secretly monitoring outside the palace told the news to the princess' palace.
"Back to the eldest princess, Concubine Ji personally sent Princess Zhongshun back to the palace today. When she entered, she was covered in mud. When she came out, she not only took a bath, but also changed into new clothes. It seems that Concubine Ji is in a good mood."
Li Helan has been in a very irritable mood these past two days. Her brother's life and death are unknown, and she always has a bad premonition, but the current mother is not the same as before, and she refuses to listen to her thoughts.
Ji Zeyu became more and more indifferent to her, and did not treat her mother with enough respect. That day, he even humiliated the servants of Ci'an Palace in public, and it was not the first time, it was like reaching out and slapping the queen mother in front of outsiders.
Later, Ji Zeyu met her uncle directly for Qin Yining's slut's father.
Her uncle robbed Ji Zeyu of the military power of the Tiger Ben army. She was indeed a little dissatisfied with this matter, but it was arranged by her mother, and she had no choice.
But Ji Zeyu refused to give her mother's uncle's face, just didn't take her seriously.
Looking back on these days, Ji Zeyu's eyes were cold when he saw her, as if she were a stranger.
Hearing what the servant said now, Li Helan thinks that in order to protect the palace, Li Helan also arranged a conflict between the guards and the Marquis of Qingyang, and she couldn't help but sour, and asked coldly, "Can you take it seriously? The concubine really went to the palace for a change. Came out with a suit of clothes? Did you read it wrong in the middle of the night?"
The spy hurriedly shook his head, "You're right, Concubine Ji really sent the princess back to the mansion and stayed there for about an hour."
Li Helan gritted his teeth.
He didn't see Ji Zeyu willing to give her any good looks, but he had the patience to go to the palace to accompany his friend's wife, and even changed his clothes there.
What the hell did he do
Could it be that Ji Zeyu fell in love with Qin Yining's goblin
Li Helan looked at her own appearance in the mirror, and then thought about Qin Yining's appearance, and immediately slapped the table with hatred.
"What a fox! Even when I was pregnant, I didn't forget to seduce men!"
"Eldest Princess... This, little..." He didn't say that Ji Zeyu had that kind of relationship with Princess Zhongshun, how could the Eldest Princess think so wrong!
If the concubine knew this, wouldn't he have become a teller
Only then did the spy realize how much ambiguity his words would create, and was busy trying to remedy it, but the eldest princess didn't give him the time, and waved his hand to let him retire.
When Li Helan was sulking and wished to kill someone, the Siqing Garden had already used dinner.
Qin Huaiyuan accompanies Li Qitian to dinner, during which he briefly explained what happened in the capital when they were trapped in the underground palace for 20 days.
Because he was no longer a court official, Qin Huaiyuan did not elaborate on many of the news that Qin Yining had inquired about, but only said what normal people in the capital could see.
But this is the case, Li Qitian is also completely lost his appetite.
The actions of the queen mother and the queen really disappointed Li Qitian.
Qin Yining asked the servants to withdraw from the table and ordered them to serve tea.
Seeing that the atmosphere was still very solemn, Qin Yining persuaded: "Sacred Master, calm down. There is no other way to come to the Queen Mother. The Holy Master is trapped in the underground palace, and the Queen Mother can only ensure that the country will not change hands if she holds the power in her own hands. , This is also for the saint to guard the country. Fortunately, the saint is safe and everything is in time."
Listening to Qin Yining's words, Li Qitian calmed down and analyzed it, and it did have this meaning.
And now is not the time to pursue the queen mother.
Li Qitian said: "Now, if I want to restore my identity, the first thing is to find a way to let the queen mother know that I am still alive. I believe that with my own son, the mother is reluctant to give her all to others."
"What the sage said is." Pang Xiao nodded, and said again: "King Li Jun has obviously moved his mind. If the sage came forward, he would definitely try to stop him. At this time, it is best to find a way to get past the king of Li Jun. Eyes and ears, pass the news that the saint is safe and sound to the queen mother to know."
Qin Yining raised her eyebrows and said with a smile, "It's very simple. Leave it to me and you can do it."
