"Buying the traitor?! Hiding evidence?!"
Amidst the uproar, Yan Huai frowned first.
Yan Che nodded, "Exactly, the bribed Yacha is still locked in the government prison. He has confessed in full, and Zheng Fuyin led people to find several documents that he hid in his dormitory. Because of this, the case was solved."
Yan Huai's eyes darkened. In front of the officials, Yan Che must not dare to talk nonsense, but at the foot of the majestic emperor, Lin'an government office, such troubles would happen. The intention of the people behind the scenes can be described as Extremely obvious.
Yan Huai's expression darkened, "Get up first, since the case is solved, you and Zheng Fu Yin have made meritorious service." Then he turned and looked at Yuan Qing, "Let Zheng Baishi come in, and since the case is solved, we will not I am anxious to tell you that tonight is a New Year's Eve feast, let's have a feast first."
Yan Che got up and went back to his seat. Yan Huai raised his chin to signal him to sit down, and then said, "Bringing the yamen officer is obviously to prevent the truth from being found out. Since the yamen officer has been arrested, let me have a good trial." In the first trial, let's see who is so bold."
Yan Che clasped his fists and nodded, "Yes, I will definitely live up to my father's expectations."
While speaking, a figure appeared at the gate of the hall, it was Zheng Baishi, he was wearing a drunken official uniform, his face was obviously tired, and he could tell that he had not had a good rest in the past two days, and got the order of the emperor, Zheng Baishi Holding a dossier in hand, he walked quickly to the gate of the palace, and went straight to the main seat to salute.
"My minister pays respects to the emperor, the empress, and His Royal Highness the crown prince."
The corners of Yan Huai's lips curved slightly, "Zheng Qing, please get up, today is New Year's Eve, Ai Qing has worked hard."
Zheng Baishi got up, "I don't dare to talk about hard work. This case has been delayed for a long time. If there is no result, the emperor will feel uneasy. His Highness the Crown Prince and I will also feel guilty. Now that the case is finally solved before the new year, it is considered a tribute. The family of the deceased has an explanation." As he spoke, he raised the file above his head, "Your Majesty, all the investigative joints and witness statements in this case are here."
Yan Huai nodded and signaled Yuan Qing to pick it up, Yuan Qing stepped down the steps to take the file, Yan Huai said, "We will talk about the specifics later, tonight is the New Year's Eve feast, since you have settled the case, you can relax and have a feast." Well, Chinese New Year is always going to be over.”
As he spoke, he glanced at Yuan Qing again, "Giving wine—"
Yuan Qing immediately responded when he heard the words, and personally went down the steps to lead Zheng Baishi to the table, and then ordered someone to bring out a jug of wine to Zheng Baishi alone. Zheng Baishi sat down, first toasted the emperor, and then exchanged greetings with the servants .
On the throne, Feng Lingsu said, "Congratulations to the emperor, congratulations to your highness the crown prince, this case is solved, the common people don't have to panic, they can have a good year—"
The dossier presented by Zheng Baishi was placed in Yan Huai's hand. Hearing Feng Lingsu's words, Yan Huai smiled with satisfaction, "Speaking of which, in the past few months at the end of the year, I have received a lot of people who were sentenced to prison. good news."
Having said that, Zhao Shuhua said, "Your Majesty, are you talking about the big gold robbery back then?"
Yan Huai nodded, "Exactly. That case has been suspended for more than ten years, but I didn't expect it to be solved this year."
Yan Qi's expression returned to normal at this moment, and he also said, "I heard that Yan Chi broke up with the prefect of Yuzhou?"
As soon as the word "Yan Chi" came out, Qin Wan's eyes lit up for a moment, and then he heard Yan Huai continue to laugh, "No, I only knew that he could fight wars before, but this time I found out that he is above the prison It is also like a fish in water, first it solved a case in Jinzhou, and then encountered two cases in Yuanzhou and Yuzhou, this Huang Jianda robbery case is one of them."
Feng Lingsu laughed and said, "Chi Shizi is so capable, the emperor has found another person to share his worries."
Feng Lingsu's words were very much in line with Yan Huai's wishes, Yan Huai said, "I want him to stay in the court to help, but his temperament has followed his father on the battlefield since he was a child, I'm afraid he is not used to it. .”
Feng Lingsu laughed, "Why aren't you used to it? Speaking of which, it's really good that Shizi Chi was raised by Prince Rui, and he can go to the battlefield for so many years at a young age, but ah, as a concubine is a mother, I always feel sorry for him when I see Shizi Chi , are all children of the royal family, only he grew up in Shuoxi, it is not difficult, if his mother is still here... hey... "
After Feng Lingsu finished speaking, Yan Huai frowned tightly.
Zhao Shuhua said casually, "It's a man's ambition to defend his family and defend his country on the battlefield. It's okay for Yan Chi's son to inherit his father's career." He continued, "But now that the situation in the northwest is stable, Prince Rui is enough. If Chi can share the emperor's worries above the prison, staying in the capital would be the best."
As soon as Zhao Shuhua finished speaking, Yan Zhen blinked and looked at Yan Huai, "Father, why is Brother Chi missing?"
When Yan Zhen asked this question, Yan Huai smiled, "He entered the palace in the afternoon, and after he came to see me, he went to Shoukang Palace to see your grandmother. Your grandmother has not seen him for many years, and for a while she regarded him as his royal father, and for a while He treats him as Yan Li, but he won't let him go."
Yan Zhen smiled brightly, "I'm going to see my grandmother after the banquet!"
Yan Huai looked at Yan Zhen full of affection, "Okay, it's also great to watch the new year with your grandmother."
Yan Zhen nodded in response, Yan Huai pondered for a moment and said as if thinking of something, "Speaking of which, I thought of another person."
Zhao Shuhua looked at Yan Huai, "Who does the emperor think of?"
When the emperor and empress spoke, all the women and ministers below were silent, listening attentively while having their meal. First they heard Yan Chi, and everyone couldn't help whispering a few words, and then, hearing Yan Huai's words, everyone couldn't help but All have doubts.
Feng Lingsu rolled her eyes and said, "Could it be that the emperor thinks of Prince Yi?"
The living princes of the emperor's generation of the Great Zhou Empire include Prince Yu of Yuzhou, Prince Rui of the Northwest Army, and Prince Yi. However, this Prince Yi also has the heart of worshiping Buddha. Do not settle in Beijing.
Feng Lingsu is Yan Huai's interpreter, and it turns out that she really knows Yan Huai very well. She thought that Yan Huai had just mentioned Yan Chi and Prince Rui just now, and then it was normal for her to think of Prince Yi. She smiled confidently, but she never expected that Yan Huai would look at her and shake her head, "Su'er, this time you guessed wrong."
As he said that, Yan Huai's eyes turned to look in the direction of the female relatives, "Have the Nine Girls of the Qin Mansion come?"
The question was caught off guard, so that Qin Wan himself didn't realize it, and it was Qin Chaoyu who bumped her arm.
Qin Wan regained consciousness and subconsciously stood up.
At this stop, those who didn't know who the Nine Girls of the Qin Mansion were all looked at Qin Wan.
Qin Wan frowned slightly, she didn't know what the emperor's intention was, she kept wondering if Yan Chi had come, and she only knew where Yan Chi was after hearing the fifth princess's words just now, so her thoughts drifted away, but she didn't want Yan Huai to ask why she!
"Miss Jiu, the emperor is calling you..."
Seeing that Qin Wan was at a loss, Yuan Qing reminded Yan Huai with a smile.
Qin Wan hurriedly frowned and took a few steps towards the main seat. As soon as she walked, people on both sides of the screen saw her. Immediately, low whispers sounded. Some of them didn't know her, and some knew her faintly. As for the origin, whether you know it or not, it is definitely not an ordinary thing to be asked by the emperor at the big banquet. For a while, everyone in the palace, from the empress and concubines, down to the officials and servants, is more than one. Looking carefully at Qin Wan, everyone's eyes were shocked.
When did such an extraterrestrial fairy appear in the capital? !
The dignitaries in the capital always have innumerable ways of socializing and having fun, such as tea parties, poetry parties, or garden tours. Because of this, whose daughters write poems well, whose daughters are beautiful, whose daughters like to gossip …
But in this circle, there is no one who doesn't know each other. Everyone only knows that the Qin family has Qin Chaoyu, but they don't think that the appearance of the nine girls of the Qin family is much more outstanding than that of Qin Chaoyu...
Countless eyes fell on Qin Wan in different ways. From the table table to the distance of more than ten steps before the main steps, Qin Wan walked calmly and dignified step by step. Not to mention the eyes of so many people, it was the majesty of the Tian family. Not timid.
The white cloak on her body has not been taken off, and at this moment, the bright light above the main seat is shining brightly, which makes her more like a moonlight. Facing the most noble person in the world, her back is straight and neither humble nor overbearing. Looking at her eyebrows and eyes, everyone is surprised to find that her facial features are surprisingly delicate. If it is just beauty, it will be fine. But it is better than the quality, the fragrance, the jade, the ice, the jade, the jade.
Getting closer and closer to the main seat, Qin Wan's steps didn't show the slightest nervousness and timidity. Everyone looked at her, and they felt that her expression was as quiet as an orchid, as steady as a pine bamboo, as if a mountain collapsed before her face, and she folded her hands. In front of her, she was elegant and elegant. Although the snow-white cloak concealed the magnificence of her inner dress, it could not hide her calmness and poise in the slightest. Amidst the bright light all over the hall, Qin Wan walked with immortality. Her sleeves fluttered, her whole body seemed to be in a state of radiance, but within a few breaths, Yan Qi was stunned, Feng Lingsu and Zhao Shuhua narrowed their eyes, even Yan Huai's eyes showed surprise, and Yan Che's eyes widened. Guang looked at Qin Wan in a very complicated manner.
"Minister Qin Wan, pay homage to the emperor and the empress." Qin Wan knelt down and saluted, her voice was like pearls and jade.
Yan Huai looked at Qin Wan for a few moments, and suddenly his smile deepened, "When Yuan Qing returned to the palace at noon, he told me that the nine girls of the Qin family were extraordinary, and I was still a little skeptical. It's true."
Saying that, Yan Huai smiled and said, "Get up, Princess Taichang wants me to treat you well, but I dare not ask you to kneel for a long time."
Qin Wan hurriedly said, "Thank you, Your Majesty." Then he stood up.
Qin Wan stood upright, with light eyebrows and eyes, and a respectful expression.
Zhao Shuhua, who was on the throne, asked in surprise, "Is she the adoptive granddaughter of Princess Taichang in Jinzhou?"
Yan Huai laughed out loud, "The Queen's reaction is slow, it's her."
Zhao Shuhua also smiled, "No wonder, ordinary people can't get into the eyes of Princess Taichang."
Yan Huai only continued after hearing the words, "She is not as simple as you see on the surface. Although she looks very good, she also has superb medical skills. She cured Princess Taichang's hidden illness for many years. It seems Known as... Jinzhou Little Doctor Fairy..."
Zhao Shuhua's eyes lit up again, after what Yan Huai said, Mandian's gaze became a little more scorching.
Feng Lingsu was slightly surprised, "Medical skills? This Jiu...Jiu girl looks young, how can she have medical skills? And she is also a superb medical skill? As far as my concubine knows, the youngest imperial doctor in the Tai Hospital is also thirty. Bar?"
Together with doctors, the training time is not unimportant. Qin Wan is so young, so he must not have studied medicine for a long time. How does it compare with those old doctors who have been practicing medicine for many years? How could she have cured Princess Taichang
"Su'er, this is because you are narrow-minded. The Taichang Princess wrote in her handwriting that the girl is extremely talented. She not only saved her life with medical skills, but also asked her to help a lot of other things. I don't dare to use this girl." Underestimate."
Yan Huai said that he was very close to Feng Lingsu, and what he said was very meaningful, even Qin Wan was not sure what Yan Huai was talking about, was it a case
Feng Lingsu covered her lips and said with a smile, "What the emperor said is that the concubine doesn't have much experience, so I think he underestimated Miss Nine."
Yan Huai said that he didn't dare to underestimate Qin Wan, who would dare to openly question Qin Wan? But having said that, everyone has nothing to say about Qin Wan's appearance, but her medical skills... After all, they have not seen it with their own eyes, and everyone still has doubts in their hearts. Greatness is also possible.
Yan Huai looked at Qin Wan and said, "Girl, how did Princess Taichang feel when you left?"
Qin Wan hurriedly said, "Grandmother's health is fine, and Minnv has left her tonic for half a year. If she takes care of it properly, she must be much healthier now."
When Qin Wan said "grandmother", everyone seemed to have truly accepted the fact that Princess Taichang accepted her as her righteous granddaughter. Although some people felt that Princess Taichang had been in decline for many years, but most of the dignitaries in the capital knew that she was a granddaughter. What is the temperament of Princess Taichang, and she also knows that the Holy Majesty is very concerned about this aunt, so she doesn't dare to belittle her for a while.
Yan Huai nodded, "Okay, you have cured the Taichang Princess, which is a great achievement. Tonight is New Year's Eve. Tell me, what do you want? But I will not hesitate to reward anything I can reward."
Hearing these words, Qin Wan's heart skipped a beat. What she wants, is she not stingy? !
All she wanted was the same from beginning to end...
The corners of her lips were slightly pursed, and Qin Wan lowered her eyes a little lower, "Minnv saved her grandmother at first with a little effort, and then got a fate with her grandmother. It is the duty of a minnv to treat her elderly, and it is also a matter of the minnv." Women's blessings, women of the people have nothing to ask for."
Yan Huai smiled deeply, "Is there really nothing you want?"
Qin Wan nodded without thinking, "I really don't want anything."
Yan Huai laughed loudly, "Look, I rarely take the initiative to reward people like this, but this girl doesn't."
Feng Lingsu hurriedly said, "Ninth Miss is filial to Princess Taichang."
Yan Huai nodded, "Auntie, her family is blessed with children and grandchildren, and now she has a adopted granddaughter. You can tell from the handwriting that she is very happy." After a slight pause, "Girl, since I have said what I said If you don't think about it right now, then don't say it, and when you think about it, you can come to me at any time, and I will honor it for you at any time."
Qin Wan was a little surprised, and glanced at Yan Huai very quickly. The emperor's rewards, small rewards and small gifts are not uncommon, but Ruo Yanhuai is extremely rare this time. If he just wants to deal with it, he can choose whatever he wants. A few trinkets are enough, there is no need to make a promised promise in front of all the ministers and so many people, what if she wants something else
Yan Huai looked at her with gentle eyes, and probably also saw Qin Wan's surprise and hesitation, and her hesitation was in Yan Huai's eyes, and she felt that Qin Wan was a little at a loss for the sudden emperor's favor.
Yan Huai sighed in his heart. Knowing Qin Wan's life experience, coupled with Princess Taichang's entrustment, he felt a little pity for Qin Wan. He was taught by the noble ladies of the ordinary clan, but when faced with his reward, he was not active enough and forgot how to deal with it for a while.
"Now that you are back in the capital, you can come to play in the palace from time to time. Xiaowu is about the same age as you. I think you can play together. When you go to Jinzhou to write letters, you have to tell your aunt and her old man, But I didn't wait for you slowly."
Yan Huai said it half-jokingly, but his tone was like that of a kind elder.
Qin Wan quickly responded, "Yes, women must obey the emperor's orders."
Yan Huai saw that Qin Wan's words were cautious and not as flattering as other girls from the aristocratic family, but her heart grew fonder, and Yan Zhen looked at Qin Wan curiously, "Are you really good at medicine? Are you really good?"
Qin Wan turned sideways and looked at Yan Zhen, "Your Highness, the medical skills of civilian women are not very good, they can only treat common diseases."
Yan Zhen's apricot eyes looked at Qin Wan curiously and lovingly, and she smiled for a while and said, "I don't know if your medical skills are good or not, I just know that you are really good-looking, you are so good-looking, and you still study medicine do what?"
Yan Zhen is only thirteen or fourteen years old this year, plus she was raised in the palm of her hand since she was a child, and her disposition is extra lively. Now that she is so innocent, even Qin Wan can't help but smile, Yan Zhen Huai laughed even more, "You little elf, what is the reason for this? Could it be another crooked reason you came up with for not wanting to study?"
Yan Zhen reacted very quickly, "Hey, is Father saying that I'm good-looking?"
Yan Huai said dotingly, "You are my favorite, so naturally you are the prettiest."
Yan Zhen immediately smiled happily, Yan Huai laughed helplessly, turned to look at Qin Wan and said, "Okay, today's New Year's banquet, I will announce you to the palace some other day, tell me about my aunt and the others in Jinzhou, and retire for dinner Bar."
Qin Wan felt relieved, turned around and retreated.
Qin Wan left the main seat under the steps, although she blocked the eyes of the officials, but the eyes above the main seat were unstoppable. She returned to the table and took a seat, but the eyes of Yan Che and Yan Qi were all the same. Still on her.
Just now Qin Wan stood in front of him. It is not good for these princes to be too courteous. Now that Qin Wan sits back, their eyes are still inseparable, not only the two of them, but also the two princes next to them. .
Yan Huai naturally noticed the actions of his sons, and just ignored them, and raised his glass to invite all the ministers to drink together.
On this side, Feng Chenbi looked Qin Wan up and down for a moment, "Ms. Ninth actually knows medical skills? It turns out that the person they said earlier was adopted as a righteous daughter by Princess Taichang in Jinzhou is you..."
As he spoke, he tilted his head and thought for a while, "Where did Miss Jiu learn her medical skills?"
Qin Wan said as usual, "I learned it from my father."
Feng Chenbi blinked, "With Second Master Qin? Didn't Second Master Qin long ago—"
As soon as she stopped speaking, she realized that she had said something she shouldn't have said and hurriedly stopped. Hu and Qin Chaoyu's expressions darkened. Qin Wan frowned slightly, and looked at Feng Chenbi coldly for a moment. Shi Dao, "Miss Feng is curious about what these things are doing? Is it possible to be accepted as a righteous granddaughter by Princess Taichang?"
As he spoke, he looked at Qin Wan with a smile on his face, looking very fond of it.
Seeing this, Mrs. Yu said, "Madam Peng already knew about it?"
The corners of Gu's lips were slightly curved, and he said heartily, "My family fought with the Marquis of Anyang in the early years. When the news came to the capital, I paid attention to it. Indeed, I knew it a long time ago. At that time, I said I didn't know when I would be able to I saw this Nine Girls, but I didn't want to see someone so soon."
Peng Huajing said, "Miss Nine is very young, she is very skilled in medicine, what is she good at?"
An ordinary doctor is very good at something. Qin Wan heard this but couldn't tell what she was good at. She didn't really have much time to practice medicine. I can't afford it.
"I don't know what I'm good at. I can treat all common diseases."
Feng Chenbi said conveniently, "Since he is a little fairy doctor, there must be the most powerful."
Qin Wan looked at Feng Chenbi, "If I have to mention one thing, it's because I'm good at using needles."
Qin Wan's tone was slightly cold, and he looked Feng Chenbi up and down for a moment and said, "If Miss Feng has insufficient energy and blood and five viscera and coldness, you only need to do acupuncture once every half a month to improve."
Feng Chenbi looked into Qin Wan's clear eyes, and usually couldn't see anything. When Qin Wan was talking, Feng Chenbi only felt a stinging coldness in Qin Wan's eyes. After she finished speaking, Feng Chenbi almost felt that the needle was really piercing When it came to her body, and Qin Wan had identified her illness at a glance, which made her quite annoyed, Qin Wan was actually quite capable!
"I see, it seems that I have underestimated Miss Nine too!"
Hearing these words, Qin Wan felt more and more that the family in Duke Zhong's Mansion were very similar, and that Feng Shenbi was the younger version of Feng Lingsu.
Mrs. Yu saw that Qin Wan was aroused by Feng Shenbi, and immediately took her daughter's hand under the desk, and asked, "Just now, Miss Nine said that the first time she treated Princess Taichang was just accidental?"
Compared with Feng Chenbi, Yu Shi was much more calm, Qin Wan nodded, "Exactly."
Yu Shi smiled, "Oh? What's the scene?"
Qin Wan didn't want to go into details, but Yu Shi asked directly, and said, "When I was going out, I met Taichang Princess on the side of the road, so I rescued Taichang Princess. At that time, I didn't know the identity of Taichang Princess."
Yu pretended to be a little surprised, "Tsk, such a fate is such a coincidence..."
Qin Chaoyu and Mrs. Hu didn't know the reason for this. When they heard it now, they felt that it was a coincidence. On the other side, Feng Chenbi said in a low voice next to Mrs. Yu's ear, "I don't know what kind of tricks they played. There is such a coincidence."
Yu Shi smiled, but whispered in Feng Chenbi's ear, "Calm down."
Feng Chenbi frowned, and wanted to say something, but Yu Shi pulled her away again. Seeing many people sitting on the table, Feng Chenbi swallowed her words. In her opinion, Princess Taichang had left Beijing for ten years. The fifteen or sixteen-year-old girl didn't even have much impression of the Taichang Princess. Naturally, she didn't respect her as a serious royal princess in her heart, and the status of the Taichang Princess was nothing to her. Then Qin What is Wan's righteous granddaughter
Feng Chenbi shut up, so Qin Wan didn't have to deal with her, and was about to calm down, but Qin Chaoyu asked again, "The Majesty just asked what you wanted, why didn't you tell me?"
Qin Wan could only sigh when she heard the words, it's not that she didn't want something, it's just that she couldn't say what she wanted.
"I didn't think of what I wanted for a while."
Qin Chaoyu turned to look in the direction of the main seat, and sure enough, Yan Che seemed to be looking here again.
Qin Chaoyu couldn't help but clenched his cuffs tightly. Yan Che should have known she was here as soon as she appeared. After all, their table is very close to the front, but at the beginning, Yan Che didn't take a look this way, since Qin Wan went to the imperial court and returned Afterwards, he looked this way frequently. With such a comparison, it is self-evident who Yan Che's eyes want to fall on.
Qin Chaoyu pursed his lips, exerting all his strength to restrain himself from showing his thoughts in front of Feng Chenbi.
On this side, Yan Che's eyes were indeed looking at Qin Wan. He was very surprised that there was a woman like Qin Wan in the clan. Noble girl, look carefully at her expression and eyes, her eyes are so clear that nothing stains them, and when asked about rewards, she doesn't ask for anything, and she doesn't even say a nice word. It is especially rare among the noble ladies who are vying for beauty.
The more Yan Che thought about it, the more regretful she felt, what Yuan Qing said was right, she was extraordinary.
And he didn't know that this Nine Girls was such a color, what did Zhao Jing say when she entered the palace last time
He seems to have only said that the Nine Girls of the Qin Mansion know medical skills...
If he had said it bluntly at that time, he was afraid that he would have thought of meeting this Ninth Girl as soon as possible.
Yan Che looked over at Qin's table again. Because of Qin Chaoyu's cover, he only saw Qin Wan's silhouette. Yan Che's eyes narrowed slightly, and in a daze, another appearance appeared in his head. .
Yan Che sat on the first seat above Yan Qi, Yan Che wanted to look at Qin Wan, Yan Qi naturally noticed it, and after seeing Yan Che's eyes looking at Qin's table many times, Yan Qi's eyes became darker , there is no man in the world who does not like a beautiful face, and what is even more valuable is that this Ninth Girl of the Qin Mansion is not only attractive in appearance, but the prince was originally interested in Qin Chaoyu, but will he change his target now? If that's the case... Yan Qi's lips twitched, then should he make this scene better
The crown prince and King Cheng each had their own thoughts, Zhao Shuhua and Feng Lingsu also had their own plans, seeing that Zhao Shuhua called the maidservant behind him to order something in a low voice, Feng Lingsu also turned around and called her cronies, and gave two low-key instructions. In other words, almost at the same time, Zhao Shuhua and Feng Lingsu's servant girl left here together, Feng Lingsu turned around and met Zhao Shuhua's smiling eyes.
Feng Lingsu hurriedly said, "I made my sister laugh. Although the hall is lively, my sister feels a little cold, so I asked Baodie to get the cloak." Feng Lingsu said curiously, "My sister also asked Yunyan to get the cloak. ?”
Zhao Shuhua bent her lips and said, "Of course not, I see that the emperor likes the ninth girl of the Qin family very much, and the ninth girl didn't ask for any reward just now, so I ordered someone to fetch some jewelry from me, intending to express it Mind."
As soon as these words came out, Feng Lingsu's smile faltered immediately, and Yan Huai raised her lips when she heard the words, "It's better for the queen to think about it."
Zhao Shuhua said casually, "Although the concubine has not seen the handwriting of the Taichang Princess, she can know that the Taichang Princess misses her granddaughter very much just from the emperor's words. Naturally, the concubine should take care of her."
Yan Huai nodded again after hearing this, "It's not a bad thing to be my queen, I know you liked Qin Shu's daughter in the first place, but now you have another one, you can take care of her in the future."
Zhao Shuhua should be right, Feng Lingsu smiled dryly for a moment, his eyes turned cold.
At this moment, a eunuch shouted suddenly from outside the hall, "Prince Rui's son has arrived—"
After the words were settled, the hall was silent for a moment, and Yan Huai laughed, "Okay, it can be regarded as being released by the Queen Mother!"
As soon as the words fell, a dark figure entered the palace gate.
Chongming Hall is brightly lit, warm and full of wine, but sitting in the hall can indeed hear the sound of wind and snow shouting outside the hall. Yan Chi stepped into the hall, and the color of snow could still be seen on the black cloak. He walked towards the main seat, and when he reached the front of the imperial court, he raised his robe and bowed. He knelt down on one knee, performing the salute of a military commander, his movements were neat and his posture was unrestrained, and Qin Wan's position was just clearly seen. The alcohol made her face slightly drunken.
"The last general pays homage to the emperor and the empress, the last is late, please forgive me, the emperor!"
Yan Huai and Zhao Shuhua smiled deeply at the same time, Yan Huai said, "Get up quickly, how is the Queen Mother?"
Yan Chi's phoenix eyes were shining brightly, and her eyes were dazzled by the bright light. Hearing this, he raised his lips, "When I was about to leave, the imperial grandmother was about to take a rest. She must have fallen asleep by now."
Yan Chi's voice is gorgeous and sweet, and he is tall and tall. At this moment, he is wearing a gorgeous black robe embroidered with black and golden dragons, and a black fox fur cloak on the outside. Standing in front of the imperial court, he is extremely handsome In an instant, not to mention Yan Che, Yan Qi, even Yan Huai, who was dressed in a crown, was weakened by him.
Whether it is Yan Huai or Yan Che, the appearance is the first, and the second is nothing more than the sense of aloofness of those who have been in the top position for a long time. Coupled with the crown and python robes that symbolize power, they will naturally attract most of the eyes.
However, Yan Chi is different from everyone in this palace. He has a noble blood, and he has an incomparably handsome appearance. These things that others seem to be out of reach are not his only weapon. The hard bones from the bloodbath in the flames of war and the heroic courage to guide thousands of troops without fear of swords and fires are incomparable in this palace!
The sharp edge on his body is full of blood, and after being ravaged by wind, frost, blood and fire on the cold plain of Shuoxi, he can kill tens of thousands of enemy troops, and can deter Xi Rong from taking a single step. The sensual dogs and horses soaked in wine look so vulnerable in front of his body tempered by the mountain of corpses and sea of blood. No one can compare with him, and no one dares to compare with him.
Qin Wan looked intently, turned her eyes, and saw that Feng Shenbi and Peng Huajing beside her were both very attentive. She first raised her lips with You Rongyan, and then she didn't know what to think. Come astringently.
"Okay, okay, she's been feeling unwell lately. Seeing you in a good mood today, I think I can fall asleep earlier. Since you came late, you will punish yourself with three cups. I know that your father is not allowed to drink alcohol in the army. Now when you come back Once you’re in the capital, let’s be presumptuous.” He said and raised his hand, “Give me a seat, give me wine—”
Yuan Qing gave orders very quickly, and soon, several young eunuchs moved new seats to the eighth prince's subordinate position. When everyone saw it, they all understood in their hearts that although Yan Chi was also from the royal family, he was not the prince. Obviously, Yan Huai was the prince. To give him the highest honor, Yan Huai raised his chin and said, "Take a seat."
Yan Chi didn't refuse, and just bowed his hand and sat on the main seat.
At the same time as he was seated, his eyes passed over the shining light in the hall, and landed on Qin Wan's body accurately.
Qin Wan's heart felt hot, and he even saw Yan Chi raised his lips towards her, and then Yan Chi looked away.
Although it was only for a moment, Qin Wan's heart seemed to be infiltrated by the wine, which was rich and fragrant.
Yan Chi raised his glass, first toasted everyone in the main seat, and just as he put down the cup, Zhao Shuhua said, "Just now I was talking about you, saying that you made great contributions by going south this time."
Yan Chi let out an "oh" and said with a smile, "I don't dare to say that I have made great achievements, but I just shared the emperor's worries."
Yan Huai was full of appreciation, "Look, this is what everyone said just now."
Zhao Shuhua bent her lips, "This time I have done meritorious service, did you ask the emperor for a reward?"
As soon as these words came out, Yan Huai smiled deeply, and naturally thought that Qin Wan didn't want a reward just now, so she heard Yan Chi say, "It's a matter of duty, how dare you ask the emperor for a reward?"
Yan Huai laughed loudly, "What's going on today? Why can't my reward be rewarded?"
Yan Chi looked puzzled, as if he didn't know what Yan Huai was talking about, Zhao Shuhua said, "You don't know, just now, when the Nine Girls of the Qin Mansion came forward, the Holy Majesty asked her if she wanted a reward, and she also said it was her duty and dared not take it reward."
Yan Chi's expression was as usual, "Oh? It seems that I and Miss Jiu are of the same path."
Yan Chi's words were a little fast, and Qin Wan's heart skipped a beat when he heard that he actually brought her into the conversation in front of so many people...
Just thinking about it, I heard Yan Huai ask, "Speaking of which, you should be familiar with her, right?"
The corners of Yan Chi's lips twitched, "I know him well, Princess Taichang is worried, so I specially asked Yan Chi to take care of her."
Yan Huai looked at Qin Wan for a moment, "It seems that Princess Taichang is really worried, she first explained to you, and then sent me a handwritten letter, that's all, you stay in the capital from now on, everything is easy to talk about. "
Yan Chi smiled brightly, "That's natural." It seemed that he didn't notice Yan Huai's sentence "you stay in the capital from now on".
Since Yan Chi came later, Yan Huai rarely punished him for drinking, Yan Chi drank it naturally, and then stopped after paying respects to several cousins above you, Yan Huai saw that he did not refrain from drinking at all, with a deep smile, He also asked about interesting stories in Shuoxi's army. Yan Chi responded well, and the atmosphere was even better above the main position. Yan Qi had met Yan Chi earlier, and the two of them had something to say, but Yan Chi did not mention Yan Qi's leadership. Yan Qi was aware of the matter of going to Yi Zhuang, the two of them came and went, they were very happy, in contrast, Yan Che was a little absent-minded.
After drinking for three rounds, this year's banquet is considered to be a good one. Tonight, besides the big banquet, Yan Huai will also bring all the officials to the Zhenghuamen tower to have fun with the people of the capital. Yan Huai is about to order Yuan Qing to prepare to close the banquet. Come on, suddenly, a little eunuch hurried over from the door on the right, because he was too anxious, the little eunuch shouted when he saw Yan Huai, "Your Majesty, the Empress Dowager is not well!"
