[It's nothing, I want him to send his future father-in-law and mother-in-law away next time]
The word "men" has a profound meaning.
Zhao Xi couldn't help but turn his head and look at Song Yuanbao. To be precise, he was looking at it. It took him a while to make an objective evaluation of the goods he was observing, "It's not bad at all."
Song Yuanbao responded awkwardly, "Ah."
The tone seemed to be unresponsive, and it seemed to agree with Zhao Xi's statement.
Zhao Xi turned his gaze to Song Wei, "I was surprised and happy to find the map to establish the Divine Soldiers Division in such a short time. The future of the Divine Soldiers Division will rely entirely on Song Sicheng."
"Your Highness is so serious." Song Wei said: "As he is in his position, he has been appointed as the Chief of the Si, he should do his best to share his worries for the emperor."
Zhao Xi nodded, "Song Sicheng thinks that he still has official duties, so I won't delay you anymore. Let's say goodbye first."
After Zhao Xi finished speaking, he turned around and headed towards Yutang Palace.
Watching Zhao Xi walk away, Song Yuanbao whispered, "Dad, you are so arrogant. You are so popular. Is this kind of thing to be publicized everywhere? Is it embarrassing to lose it?"
Song Wei raised his eyebrows, "You still know how embarrassing it? If you hadn't been hanging them, would someone come to visit every once in a while?"
Speaking of this, Song Yuanbao felt a little guilty, but refused to admit it, "I am not a silence, it is clearly a test. If I don't test them, how can I know who is sincerely begging for my son-in-law?"
Song Wei said: "The prince does not have the same pomp as you do when he chooses a concubine. Next time he goes back, he will explain it to others."
"When will it take me to go back?" Song Yuanbao's tone became flattering. "It is said that the parents' orders and matchmakers' words are said, so parents will block it for me. You are elders, and what you say is more effective than me."
Song Wei was just joking with him, but when he encountered such a situation, he and Wanwan couldn't stand not to block it. Now, when Song Yuanbao said this, he looked pretty careless and didn't bother him. He just told him to be arrogant and impetuous, and not to show off his bad looks when he was looking for opportunities, which made people laugh.
Song Yuanbao was scolded and finally returned to Yutang Palace with his head hanging down.
Assuming that Zhao Xi might be bathing, Song Yuanbao did not go to find him, he returned to the side hall and threw himself on the cold bed.
Sanbao's father-in-law followed in and asked him if he wanted to prepare water and take a bath.
Song Yuanbao nodded lazily, and then thought of something, and called Sanbao's father-in-law and asked him, "Did your highness say anything when he came back?"
"No." Sanbao's father-in-law looked at him suspiciously, "Is there anything wrong with Young Master Song?"
"It's okay." Song Yuanbao smiled and pulled the topic away, "Was the murderer who assassinated His Highness caught?"
"Not yet!" When talking about this Sanbao father-in-law, he was worried. "It's been so long, and there is no accurate letter from Shuntian Mansion. These people in the yamen are becoming less and less concerned about their work."
"Okay, I know." Song Yuanbao waved his hand, "Go down and prepare hot water for me. I just came back from the schoolyard and was covered in sweat and smelled of smell. I had to wash it well."
——
Emperor Guangxi's attitude was a bit tepid when Zhao Xi was assassinated.
Empress Su has a wide connection and has found out the signs. She knew it was related to Concubine Duan. She found a vacant appointment with Concubine Qi to have tea. She seemed to have inadvertently mentioned the assassination of the eldest prince, and pointed the finger at Concubine Duan in words.
The mother tribe of Concubine Qi has no power and cannot be counted on it. Therefore, she is more careful when speaking and doing things than others, and is cautious and cautious.
In fact, at the beginning, she guessed that it was related to Concubine Duan, and she thought that the emperor loved the eldest prince and would definitely seek justice for him. But now that these days have passed, the case has been put on hold in Shuntian Mansion. Every time she asked, the answers she gave were checking, and she was perfunctory and disgusting.
Today, Empress Su incited the flames again and directly lit the fire of Concubine Qi.
However, she did not show any emotion in front of Queen Su. When she returned to Xianfu Palace, she called Gu Yu Jingzhe and the two personal palace maids to find a solution.
When Gu Yu heard that it was related to Concubine Duan, she suddenly felt so angry that her teeth were itchy, "The second prince was only a good deal, so she wanted to murder her eldest son and pave the way for her son. This poisonous woman is indeed a vicious woman. The emperor even treats her as a treasure and loves her!"
Concubine Qi looked at Guyu, "Is there any way?"
Gu Yu's eyes were covered in darkness, "If Master Xue had not blocked the arrow for His Highness, His Highness would have encountered an accident now. Concubine Duan was unkind, so don't blame us for being unrighteous. Don't worry about this matter, I will do it."
...
That night, a black cat drilled into the window of Duanfei's Yonghe Palace bedroom, and screamed inside. The cat's meow at night was already terrifying, not to mention that the black cat was fed medicine, which scared the young second prince so much that he cried. The next day, he had a high fever and was unconscious.
After Emperor Guangxi found out, he became angry and immediately asked someone to check the origin of the black cat.
It happened that at this moment, Concubine Qi brought the warm-up soup to the outside of the Hall of Health. When she heard the emperor smashing things, she steadily crossed the threshold, looked at Emperor Guangxi with a gray face, and said with concern, "What's wrong with the emperor?"
When Emperor Guangxi saw that it was Concubine Qi, he quickly suppressed his anger and supported his forehead and said, "Yonghe Palace for no reason, a beast ran in for no reason last night and scared the second prince. In addition, he suffered a cold and is now in a coma with a high fever."
Concubine Qi pushed the warm-up soup to Emperor Guangxi, and then walked behind the emperor to pinch his shoulders. "I thought someone had done something wrong and made the emperor unhappy. It turned out to be the second prince. He was only two years old. It is normal for a child to have a headache and fever. The emperor doesn't have to worry too much. With the imperial physician here, he will always get better."
Emperor Guangxi still felt angry when he held the soup bowl and threw the small bowl on the ground with a "pop".
Concubine Qi looked at the celadon bowl that had fallen into several petals, calmed down the emotions in her eyes, and bent down to pick them up.
"Empress, let me come!" Eunuch Cui said while acting as he wanted to help Concubine Qi up.
Concubine Qi did not give in and smiled, "I heard that the emperor had been angry a lot about the assassination of the eldest prince a few days ago. I was not there at that time and did not pick up the pieces of porcelain that the emperor broke. I will come here in person today."
Upon hearing this, Eunuch Cui silenced and Yu Guang secretly glanced at Emperor Guangxi's face.
In fact, the emperor has not been so angry that he has fallen into falling things since the assassination of the eldest prince.
One was assassinated and was almost shot by the assassin's poisonous arrow.
One was frightened and cold at night and fell into a coma.
However, the former did not receive much sympathy from the emperor, but the latter made the emperor angry and furious.
Is it because the former is unscathed and there is no need to sympathize with it, or is the latter more favored by the emperor?
Eunuch Cui hardly thought about it.
He actually quite understands Concubine Qi. If he changes to any Concubine, he will feel unfair if he encounters such a thing.
However, Concubine Qi's behavior today is a bit risky, even though she speaks very obscurely, but thinking about it, the emperor is not a fool, how could he not understand what she is hinting at?
Putting all the broken porcelain pieces on the tray, Concubine Qi stood up and never went to see Emperor Guangxi. Her voice was as light and heavy as before. "Since the emperor is in a bad mood, I will not disturb you and leave first."
Emperor Guangxi heard the complaints about him between Concubine Qi's words. He was originally quite disgusted with the palace concubines' intrigues over the past few days, but when he thought of Concubine Qi's son Zhao Xi, who was one of the people who could not cultivate even if his parents lost all their money, he cleaned his emotions and smiled, "Beloved concubine, are you angry with me?"
"I don't dare."
Emperor Guangxi signaled Eunuch Cui to go out with his eyes.
Eunuch Cui immediately reacted, took the tray from Concubine Qi, and quickly withdrew from the Palace of Yangxin.
Emperor Guangxi walked up and stared at Concubine Qi. Then he reached out and raised her chin, "Are you blaming me for not caring about Xier?"
Concubine Qi said: "All the emperors are descendants, and I believe that the emperor can treat everyone equally."
After pausing for a moment, she met the emperor's unfathomable eyes, "Emperor, the assassination case has been delayed for too long."
The implication is that the case will be closed sooner or later, so why do you have to protect Concubine Duan and refuse to let go?
He loosened the hand of Concubine Qi's chin, and Emperor Guangxi tried his best to comfort her, "I will give Xier an explanation for this case."
"This explanation is not for the eldest prince." Concubine Qi said: "It is for the civil and military officials."
Emperor Guangxi narrowed his eyes slightly and a dangerous aura popped up.
Concubine Qi took the initiative, "The emperor is only such a prince who is almost adult. If all civil and military officials don't feel sorry for him, can they feel sorry for the royal family?"
In one sentence, the emperor's doubts about the eldest prince's "forming cliques for personal gain" were directly dispelled.
Emperor Guangxi realized that he was too suspicious. The second prince was only two years old and could not see his talent. It is understandable that all civil and military officials would focus all their attention on the eldest prince. If they did not pay attention to the eldest prince, there would be something really tricky.
Thinking of this, Emperor Guangxi took Concubine Qi's hand and "accompany me to go out for a walk."
