No. 1 Girl in the Imperial City

Chapter 567
I don't know what Mrs. Hu said to the Hu family, but the two sons of the Hu family came to the inn where they stayed that night.

The faces of both of them were not very good. They only said that this incident was a misunderstanding, and pretended that nothing happened.

After finishing speaking, the eldest son of the Hu family bowed his hands and said goodbye, and the second son gave Qu Tiange a fierce look.

Qu Tiange didn't take it seriously, his expression was indifferent.

Luo Junyao was a little surprised, he didn't expect Mrs. Hu to be so forceful that she would directly persuade the Hu family to let go of this matter.

She originally thought that the Hu family would have to talk to them again, such as compensation or something.

Although this matter is really not Qu Tiange's fault, but people's sophistication is so hypocritical, who would let someone be a girl?
Even in a place like Huaizhou, if a girl has a bad reputation, her future marriage will not go smoothly.

Luo Junyao sat in the chair and propped his chin in a daze for a while, Xie Yan came in from the outside and saw her appearance, walked over and touched the top of her head and said softly: "What's wrong?"

Luo Jun said quietly: "I feel... I seem to have become as hypocritical as those old men in Shangyong."

Xie Yan raised his eyebrows, sat down beside her and said, "How do you say?"

Qu Tiange shook his head and said, "No, the princess thinks too much."

"Mother... Empress Dowager?" The servant looked at Bai Jingrong hesitantly and asked.

In the main hall, King Qi, who had just succeeded to the throne for less than a year, inherited all the advantages of his parents' appearance.

There are thousands of miles of yellow sand around, and it is not an easy task to build a house.

He was not dissatisfied with the handling of the princess regent, and the matter was caused by him from the beginning to the end, but it was resolved by the princess regent.

What's more, when Huaizhou is completely stabilized in two years, they will naturally be able to go back to visit relatives.

"Empress Dowager." A waiter came in from outside and whispered.

The waiter said: "That's right...the environment in the royal court is too bad to support so many people. I want the king to lead the Qi tribe warriors to fight back to the east and take back the royal court."

Bai Jingrong raised his head slightly and said, "What's the matter?"

Xie Yan chuckled, pulled her into his arms, and said softly: "Yao Yao is more mature and sensible, I know you are thinking of Jin Yan and Miss Su."

Not only can I learn about Luo Jinyan's affairs in southern Xinjiang, but also some things about Shangyong.No matter how many correspondences there are, how can they compare with the oral narrations of familiar people?
Early the next morning, Su Rui personally sent the group out of the city.

It's a pity that he is still an idiot!

The arrival of Luo Junyao naturally made Su Rui very happy.

Bai Jingrong glanced at Ji Rong coldly, she was very dissatisfied with this son, but now she had to rely on him.

"That's right!" Luo Junyao came to his senses, jumped up and ran outside.

Bai Jingrong was standing outside the main hall, and there was a lot of noise inside.

Desert vast sea, thousands of miles of yellow sand.

"What did you say?!" The Central Plains people were also angry. Although they are foreigners, they have been in the Qi tribe for many years, and they are not completely powerless.

A middle-aged man from the Central Plains said: "Xie Yan is known for his tricks, how do you know that they didn't do this on purpose, so as to lure us back and send troops to encircle and suppress them?"

Xie Yan looked down at her and said, "If you're not happy, I'll accompany you to clean up the Hu family?"

But Bai Jingrong didn't want to do that, why would she still be a concubine when she could be the queen mother?With the lessons learned from these years, those Qi people will only be more wary of her.

However, Ji Rong was useless, so Bai Jingrong didn't dare to abolish the eldest son rashly.

The Qi man said angrily, "Who knows if you are spies from the Central Plains? Our Qi warriors are unparalleled. If someone hadn't betrayed us, how could we have lost to the Dasheng people?"

Not far from the southwest of the oasis, there is a large piece of Gobi. At a glance, the desert is vast and boundless, and the Gobi is desolate and barren.

For Su Rui, although life in Huaizhou is full and happy, she still feels lonely occasionally when she is away from her hometown and relatives and friends.

Xie Yan nodded her eyebrows and said with a smile: "Since the matter is settled, don't be unhappy. We will leave Huaizhou tomorrow, why don't you say goodbye to Miss Su?"

"Last winter, how many old people and children died of starvation in our clan? This place is too small and barren to support the current population of the Qi clan." A tall man in a scarlet robe said loudly: " The people of Dasheng have no ability to occupy Wangcheng, last winter they only sent less than 1 people to garrison! We can easily take back Wangcheng!"

Now this palace belongs to his elder brother, even if Ji Rong is the younger brother of King Qi, he can only live outside the palace.

He also knew in his heart that the Princess Regent's actions seemed nonsensical, but she was actually very measured and bottom-lined.

When Luo Junyao ran out the door, Xie Yan looked sideways at the door on the other side.

After stepping through the gate of the palace where he lived, not far ahead was the palace where King Qi discussed political affairs.

In the past few years, he has worked with Xie Yan in the Prince Regent's Mansion, and he is not the lonely guest of the rivers and lakes all his life.Most of the time, as long as the bottom line is not crossed, he will not do it if he can.

Bai Jingrong was silent for a moment, but finally turned around and walked outside.

This made him dissatisfied again and again, and many dissatisfaction gradually accumulated, and then became the current situation.

In the royal palace in the middle of the oasis, Bai Jingrong was reclining on the white fur blanket with his eyes closed.

But Xie Yan didn't intend to do that from the very beginning, and naturally he wasn't going to stop the song himself.

For example, no matter how she planned to solve this matter, she never thought of really asking him to marry a girl from the Hu family or asking him to bow his head and make amends.

Qi Wang's mother and son were at odds with each other, which also gave the former nobles of the Qi clan an opportunity.

But the Hu family may not be able to find out their real identities, but it may not be impossible to find out that they have friendship with the Governor's Mansion.Yao Yao handled this matter so cautiously, just because he didn't want to add to Luo Jinyan's already difficult governance of Huaizhou.

But since she chose this path at the beginning, she will do well and walk down it according to her own will, neither disappointing herself nor the people who were enlightened and generous in supporting her choice back then.

The new king's court of the Qi people is in a rare oasis in the desert. The area here is not too big, and it is naturally not comparable to the past, but it is also the place where the people of the Qi people prospered back then.

Qu Tiange walked in from the outside with a sword in his arms, Xie Yan said: "What do you want to say about the Hu family?"

Should he be said to be her son of Bai Jingrong?

Loneliness and missing loved ones are inevitable.

Ji Rong lowered her eyes and said, "I'm not feeling well today, so my elder brother asked me to come back first."

Bai Jingrong looked at Ji Rong critically, and said, "Why are you here? Shouldn't you be discussing matters in the hall at this time?"

Even though Bai Jingrong has placed many people in various places of the Qi clan in recent years, most of the people who really hold the power are nobles of the Qi clan. There are also people from the Central Plains who have followed Bai Jingrong in these years, but not many.

It's just that before Bai Jingrong walked over, he stopped when he saw the oncoming person.

Those reckless people have grown their brains over the years.

No matter what they do, the Hu family can't do anything about them.

Therefore, her son Bai Jingrong can only be on the throne of the Qi clan royal court.

No matter how powerful Luo Jinyan and Su Rui are, they are outsiders.Once their interests conflict with the local aborigines, it is the best time for those villains who secretly hold grudges.

If she was still young, she might even marry the new King Qi.

After ascending to the throne of King Qi, he didn't want his mother to share his power, what's more, what Bai Jingrong wanted was not just sharing.

Bai Jingrong stood up, and said coldly, "Fight? What do they use? Do they really want to fight? Four years ago, they couldn't beat Dasheng. How can they beat Dasheng now?"

The two sides quarreled more and more intensely, and it seemed that they were about to fight.

The palace of the royal family of the Qi people is not big, and there is absolutely no possibility that the high-ranking concubines of the Central Plains emperor can monopolize a palace.

Ji Rong didn't care about her mother's expression, she lowered her eyes and said, "Mother is going to the hall? Then I'll go back first."

"This is a member of our Qi tribe. What are you interrupting, a Central Plains man?"

Bai Jingrong prided herself on being shrewd all her life, but she never thought that she had schemed against everyone in the world, and the one who made her miscalculate the most was her own eldest son, whom she had the most high hopes for.

Where do those people want to fight back to the royal court?It was clear that he didn't want someone with foreign blood to be King Qi, but he didn't have enough power to take back the throne, so he wanted to make both them and Dasheng suffer.

Ji Rong looked at her back calmly, without any change in the expression on her face, she turned around slowly after a while, and walked towards the outside of the palace.

Hearing that Qu Tiange frowned slightly, Xie Yan said: "The people in the capital didn't follow him, and I don't intend to stop him." If you want to forcefully stop Qu Fang, there are Yu Mingqiu, Luo Yun and others in the capital, as well as secret agents. The masters of Ziying may not be unable to stop them.

The entire palace is only divided into three parts, the main hall for discussion, the residence of King Qi and his wives and concubines, and the residence of the Empress Dowager.

Of course, if the person on the throne is not her own son, with her beauty, she can still become the wife of the new King Qi.

He was sitting on the throne at this time, calmly watching the crowd below quarrel.

People can't help feeling pity just by looking at it.

Seeing a few people riding away from a distance, Su Rui just smiled and turned back to the city with them.

The Qi people are more xenophobic than the Central Plains people, let alone such a big matter as the throne?
If it was the Central Plains Dynasty, even if it was not his own mother, the emperor must practice filial piety.Even if the first emperor had no sons, the new adoptive emperor had to respect the queen mother as his aunt.

Bai Jingrong snorted coldly, and walked straight past him.

The waiter lowered his head and eyes, not daring to look up at her, but respectfully said: "In the hall, the nobles of the clan have quarreled with the king."

Luo Jun shook his head again and again, "The matter is settled, let's forget it."

There are also many great figures who are all-powerful, but they were defeated by little-known little men.

Qu Tiange was silent for a long time, then nodded and said: "It's okay, he won't do anything stupid."

Although it is called Wangting, there are not many buildings, except for a palace in the center of the oasis, and there are a few stone houses around it, most of the people live in tents.

"I've met my mother." Ji Rong saluted respectfully.

The sixth room of the Hu family may not be able to affect Luo Jinyan and Su Rui in the overall situation, but sometimes it is those inconspicuous little people and small things that are disgusting enough.

Hearing this, Bai Jingrong sat up slowly, and said with a sneer, "What's the use of telling me? Now this Qi tribe is in charge of him."

She was wearing a luxurious dark gold dress, leaning lazily on the lead pillow behind her.The magnificent furnishings in the palace could not suppress her stunning appearance.It's just a peaceful doze, and it also beautifully makes everything a foil for her.

Compared with Ji Rong, he is taller, taller and healthier.His complexion was much fairer than that of ordinary Qi people, but not as weak and slender as Ji Rong's. At first glance, he looked like a tall, handsome and imposing man.

What's more, the current King Qi is half of the Bai family blood, and is the son of the princess they follow.

Bai Jingrong is really not in a good mood now, and what he said lost the peace and elegance of the past, full of sarcasm.

Those who had the same opinion as him echoed in unison. They were really cast a psychological shadow by the Zhen Guojun a few years ago. Even after several years have passed, they still feel a little uneasy when they mention Xie Yan.

Even though he was over fifty years old, Bai Jingrong still looked like he was in his thirties.Even though there are faint fine lines around the corners of her eyes, it does not affect her beauty and charm in the slightest.

Bai Jingrong snorted lightly, and said, "Those old guys, what do you want to do?"

The waiter dared not say much.

Luo Junyao sighed and said: "This matter is obviously not Qu Tiange's fault. If it had been a few years ago... I should have directly pissed that girl from the Hu family until she died of shame, and never saw anyone again. No matter how bad it is, I will also persuade Qu Tiange Tian Ge, let's go meet Hu's family and beat them up. But now, I obviously don't like them, yet I want to make peace with them in a roundabout way, and I even want to give in and compensate them, and spend money to settle the matter."

Xie Yan said: "That's good, let's get ready for our departure tomorrow."

In the words of the Central Plains people, it is called the land of Longxing.

But Qu Fang didn't leave Shangyong after gaining complete freedom, he still lived in that small courtyard, and occasionally taught a few children martial arts when he was free, so he lived a leisurely life.

Hearing that they were going to leave, Su Rui was very sad, but she also knew that they didn't have so much free time to stay in Huaizhou, so she could only drag Luo Junyao to live in the Governor's Mansion overnight, and the two chatted until midnight before falling asleep.

It's just that compared with more than three years ago, the brows of Bai Jingrong today are a little more tired.

After saying that, Xie Yan hesitated for a moment, and said: "I just received the news today that Mr. Qu has gone to southern Xinjiang." Qu Fang has been safe in the past few years, and he also has the affection for protecting Luo Junyao before. Xie Yan also believes in Qu Tian Ge's character has long since ceased to restrain Qu Fang.

But in the Qi clan, once the person on the throne is not her own son, everything Bai Jingrong has now will be lost, and she will become a complete outsider.

After the death of the former King Qi, his wives and concubines who had sons were driven to live with them by Bai Jingrong, and those who had no sons were sent home to remarry. What a good end.

The man sitting on the throne raised his eyebrows slightly and raised his hand to stop the two groups who were about to fight.

"Okay." King Qi said in a deep voice, "This is a place for discussion, not a market for you to quarrel with. If you want to quarrel, go out and fight."

Everyone looked at King Qi in unison, neither of the two sides could convince the other, so naturally it was up to the king to make up his mind.

King Qi looked towards the door, "Mother, what do you think?"
