Chapter 161 The Qi Family
After the last birthday banquet in Prince Qin's Mansion, after the people left, Prince Qin's Mansion seemed to have returned to a relatively peaceful life before.

It's just that Qi Ze finally received a letter from Zhu Yu Cangzhu, saying that she has been found in Yingjing City according to the marks, and she will go to the city to meet her soon.

Qi Ze also gritted his teeth and wrote back to Zhu Yu Cangzhu. They finally found it, and made her wait for half a month for nothing.

Because Que Yu's identity needed to be kept secret, she asked them to meet her at an inn in Yingjing City, and send a letter to her after they found the inn.

After receiving Zhu Yu Cangzhu's reply again, Qi Ze heaved a sigh of relief, and finally... could return to Nanchu.Now that the situation in Nanchu is chaotic, she urgently needs to go back to deal with it, otherwise no one will know what is waiting for her in the future, and she must avenge her father's revenge.

Although the birthday party has passed, Qi Ze felt a little strange about the middle-aged man who kept looking at him.The lonely nostalgia in his eyes can't be faked, but they really haven't seen each other before, so what's the matter with his eyes looking at the old man.

It seems that Que Yu has been busy with court affairs recently, and he often can't find anyone in Qin Palace, but sometimes he would go to her room to tease her frivolously at night.

"What is His Royal Highness King Qin doing here? I have already given you a birthday gift." Qi Ze said, looking at the young man with his chin resting on the opposite side.

"It's nothing, can't I come and see you?" the young man said lazily.

"No." The woman said lightly.

Seeing the woman who was about to turn around and leave, the young man hurriedly stopped him, and said with a light smile, "I just came to ask you a question? I'll leave right away after I finish my question."

ask questions?What question could Que Yu ask her?
"what is the problem?"

The young man curled his lips into a smile, pointed to the dark black jade on the woman's chest and asked, "Where did you get this piece of jade?"

The woman was startled, and carefully held Mo Yu in her hand, her eyes were full of sadness and nostalgia, and after a long time she said: "This is a relic left to me by my parents, what does His Highness King Qin ask this for?"

"Just a random question." The young man didn't seem to care, but a hint of deep meaning flashed in his eyes, is it a relic?Then why did he look familiar, as if he had seen it somewhere before.

Qi Ze glanced at Que Yu inexplicably. He thought it was some kind of problem, but it turned out to be about the jade pendant.

Just when Qi Ze was about to turn around and leave, the jade pendant on his chest was taken off his neck by the young man behind him.Mo Yu's rope was quite long, and it was taken off before he could react.

The young man looked at the black jade in his hand very curiously, and looked at the woman frivolously, "Do you want it?"

Qi Ze: "..." When did Que Yu become so boring.

"Please return the jade pendant to me, His Royal Highness Qin Wang." The woman said calmly.

But the young man put the jade pendant behind his back, "I really want it, so come and grab it."

For a moment, Qi Ze couldn't help being angry, what is this guy doing, she is not a little girl, why tease her like this.

"Give it to me." The woman stepped forward to grab it.

The man took a step back immediately, as if he was teasing a little girl, "No, I'll give it to you if you grab it."

"You...give it back to me." The woman hurried forward to grab it.

The man moved away lightly and dodged it very easily, the corners of his mouth curled up, "I just won't give it."

Seeing Que Yu like this, Qi Ze could only summon his internal strength and stretch out his fists and feet to snatch it. He was about to snatch it, but the man turned around and went around.

"Little girl, do you think you can beat me?" As he spoke, he put the jade pendant in front of Qi Ze to seduce him.

Qi Ze only felt angry in his heart, Que Yu used his lightness kung fu to spread his fists and kicks, and ran forward.But Que Yu's martial arts are better than hers, and every time he just circles around lightly, he easily bypasses her.But Qi Ze was a little confused, no one had dared to tease her like this before.

After several rounds, Qi Ze still failed to snatch it, his body became tired, and he felt suddenly powerless, "His Royal Highness, please return the jade pendant to me."

Seeing that Qi Ze didn't want to snatch it anymore, Que Yu knew that the teasing was over, so he put the jade pendant in front of Qi Ze, "Here, here it is for you."

Qi Ze glanced at Que Yu, and reached out to take it, but the man directly raised the jade pendant above his head, "As long as you get it, I will return it to you."

Looking up at the jade pendant some distance away from him, Qi Ze stretched out his hand to reach it, but the man also lifted it higher and higher.The woman could only stand on tiptoe to try to reach it, while the other hand unconsciously grabbed the man's arm.

Seeing the jade pendant getting closer, the woman couldn't help but feel happy, but before she could be happy, she lost her balance and fell straight into the man's arms.

The man also embraced the woman, and the corners of his lips curled up, "You throw your arms around me like this, it will make me mistakenly think you like me."

Qi Ze: "..." She really wanted to trample him to death.

Que Yu put the jade pendant back on the woman's neck, "I'll give it back to you." After the woman stood still, she let go of her hand and walked to the tea table next to her, poured a few cups of tea and drank it .

Qi Ze touched the black jade in his hand, there was a man's scent of sandalwood on it, which made people feel at ease.When he was in a daze, he heard the man's magnetic voice.

"Don't worry about Qi Dai's matter, the Qi family is upright and they won't have any bad intentions."

"Qi Dai?" Qi Ze couldn't help but wonder.

"Yes, the person who kept staring at you at the birthday party." Que Yu said after taking a sip of tea.

It turned out that Que Yu had also seen it, and it wasn't that she was careless.Qi Ze couldn't help lowering his eyes. She had heard about the Qi family in Beishuo, a family of loyal generals.Qi Dai is the current head of the Qi family, and now has only one wife, Mrs. Qi, and no concubines. She has three sons under her knees, and the first two sons are already married.

The eldest son, Qi Ji, is in charge of the Sixth Section of the Fourth Grade Inspectorate, and has the duties of admonishing and supervising the emperor. He is married to He Jieying, the eldest daughter of Honglu Siqing.The second son, Qi Che, was appointed as the fourth-rank deputy Xiaoqi and took charge of the battalion. He married Wu Weiwei, the daughter of the deputy forward and participated in the leadership.The third son, Qi Qi, has not yet reached the crown. He is taking the imperial examination and has not yet participated in the government.

I didn't expect that the middle-aged man would be Qi Dai, but she has nothing to do with the Qi family at all, so why Qi Dai would look at her with that nostalgic look is too strange.

The young man seemed to know what the woman was thinking, and You You said, "You have nothing to do with the Qi family, but your father has."

Father?How could the father have anything to do with the Qi family?What's more, my father has been dead for more than ten years, and even before his death, he has always been in Nanchu. When did he have contact with the Qi family in Beishuo?
Seeing the woman's deep thought, the young man smiled and said the answer. "Don't forget, the Qi family is a family of generals from Beishuo, and Qi Dai is a second-rank chariot and cavalry general. It is the general Beishuo sent when your father resisted Beishuo."

Qi Dai turned out to be a second-rank cavalry general. No wonder that although he had an elegant face at the birthday banquet that day, he had a firm blood that could not be ignored. These are only those who have been on the battlefield.

You actually fought against your father, didn't you?Could it be that the two have been fighting for many years and have hatred for each other, even though they are dead, the hatred has not been eliminated, right?After all, Beishuo had never had any obstacles when he expanded his territory before, but he happened to meet Qi Yun, the hussar general of Southern Chu.

Qi Yun used his own unique way of using troops to defeat tens of thousands of enemies with one force, and defeated Beishuo's army, which had always been invincible.From then on, it seemed that Beishuo and Nanchu had confronted each other. They had been fighting for more than ten years, and the two were also incompatible with each other.

No wonder Qi Dai kept looking at her, did he think of his father?Thinking of his father's confrontation with him before, the hatred in his heart is hard to get rid of.

She does look a lot like her father, especially her pair of peach eyes that are exactly the same.Although there was no hatred in those eyes, but the two had been hostile all the time, how could there be no trace of hatred in their hearts?
Thinking about going back to Nanchu soon, and his father is dead, then this matter is over.It is meaningless to pursue the things of the previous generation.

But since Que Yu had already seen it, why didn't he tell her then?That can only show that Que Yu is very relieved about this matter. If he can be so relieved, it means that the Qi family has always been under the control of Que Yu. Isn't that just...

"His Royal Highness, the Qi family is also your family?" Although the tone was questioning, it was full of affirmation.

Que Yu smiled faintly, "You're pretty smart, little girl. The Qi family has a high status among Beishuo's generals, so naturally I won't hand over this family to others."

Sure enough, what Que Yu wanted to do didn't seem to have anything to do with her, after all, she was from Southern Chu and couldn't control Bei Shuo's affairs.Now she can only wait for Zhu Yu Cangzhu's letter to come soon, and return to Nanchu after receiving it.

In front of the solemn and luxurious Prince Qin's Mansion, a middle-aged man with a refined appearance but a strong and bloody face was standing in front of the door.Although he is over half a hundred years old, he is still strong and upright, with a hale and hearty spirit, and there is no trace of aging on his face. At this time, his eyes are looking at the gate of the palace with sorrow.

The servants guarding the gate of Prince Qin's Mansion felt a little strange seeing that Qi Dai had been standing here for a long time and hadn't come in yet.One of the servants with a more cheerful personality stepped forward and asked, "I don't know why General Qi is here? The prince is in the palace and not in the palace. If General Qi has something to do with the prince, please come back another day."

"No, it's not." Qi Dai quickly waved his hands and said, "This little brother, I'm not here to see His Royal Highness King Qin, I... want to see Mrs. Ze."

The servant on the opposite side was a little stunned. A general didn't come to look for the prince, but a concubine of the palace.Although Miss Ze is not a concubine of the palace, in the eyes of outsiders, Miss Ze is the concubine of the prince.

It never made sense for a man to come to a married woman.Even though Bei Shuo never cared about these trivialities, many people still know how to avoid suspicion and seldom interact with a married woman.

The middle-aged man also seemed to know that this was a little too far, so he said with embarrassment: "I also know that this is against the rules, but please forgive me, I only see you once, and I will come out immediately."

Because Qi Dai has been on the battlefield for a long time, he often calls his soldiers brothers and sisters, so he doesn't pay attention to some formalities.I often use "under" to refer to myself, and I don't feel superior to others just because I am a general with great military exploits.

Because the Qi family belonged to King Qin's faction, and Qi Dai's reputation in Yingjing was very good, humble and polite, the servants hesitated for a while.After a long while, he could only say: "Then wait for the villain to ask Steward Kong for instructions, and ask General Qi to wait for a while."

Qi Dai cupped his hands in agreement.

After a while, Steward Kong came over and saluted Qi Dai: "I don't know that General Qi is coming, so please forgive me for being far away."

Qi Dai hurriedly turned sideways to avoid Steward Kong's salute, and returned the salute: "Where, Steward Kong is already an old man in front of His Highness King Qin, how can Steward Kong salute me."

To be the steward of Prince Qin's Mansion is naturally of extraordinary status, otherwise how could he manage the huge Prince Qin's Mansion.Qi Dai still knew about Steward Kong's identity.

Butler Kong didn't force it, with a kind smile on his face, "The boy has already told the old slave about General Qi's visit, but please ask General Qi to go back. After all, men and women are different, and it would be inappropriate for them to meet."

The main reason is that Miss Ze is from Southern Chu. If she is discovered because of this, it will be bad.

"This..." Qi Dai was also a little embarrassed for a while, and immediately bent down and said earnestly: "I also ask Butler Kong to allow me to go in and see Mrs. Ze. I know this is unreasonable, but I just want to ask Mrs. Ze a few words." Question. After the question is finished, I will come out naturally, and it will not damage Madam Ze's reputation."

"General Qi, please get up quickly, you're going to kill this old slave if you salute this old slave." Steward Kong hurriedly supported Qi Dai's arm.Seeing the pleading on Qi Dai's face, he also knew that Qi Dai would not do anything bad to harm Qi Ze, so he could only sigh and say, "It's not impossible for General Qi to see Madam Ze, and please ask Madam for instructions before coming back." Tell General Qi the answer. If Mrs. Ze doesn’t show up, there’s nothing this old servant can do.”

Qi Ze is not an ordinary girl in a boudoir, so naturally she doesn't pay attention to these formalities, but she also doesn't know the purpose of Qi Dai's coming here.Thinking that if Qi Ze knew each other, it would be fine for them to meet each other.

"Thank you, Steward Kong." Qi Dai saluted.

Butler Kong nodded slightly, then went in to ask for instructions.After a while, Butler Kong came out and said, "General Qi, please come in. Mrs. Ze has agreed to meet."

Qi Dai was overjoyed, and walked slowly into the palace as a salute.

In the palace garden, Qi Ze is playing with candy.Candy is holding a long kite string in his hand, with a happy smile on his face, and his big eyes are always looking at the butterfly-shaped paper kite in the sky.

Because the garden of the Wangfu is very large, there is usually a comfortable cool breeze in Beishuo, so the kites fly very high.Qi Ze was sitting on a stone bench in the garden flipping through a book, looking up at the paper kites in the air from time to time.

"Snapped--"

Suddenly the kite line broke, and it was about to float high into the sky with the wind and disappear.

Tang Tang looked at the paper kite walking away, and felt anxious, jumping up and down to catch the broken kite string.But the disconnected thread was too far away, and it was futile for Bai Nen's little hands to grab it.

Just when Tangtang opened her mouth to be sad, she saw a woman in a long indigo dress nimbly flying up into the air and grabbing the kite string, and then floated to the ground with the breeze, and the corners of her skirt also fell down, like a cold moon fairy generally.

Qi Ze handed the paper kite to Candy, and after Candy took it, he was about to continue playing, but was stopped by the woman.

"Candy, the paper kite cable is broken, you can't play anymore, you can ask Butler Kong for a new one."

Seeing Qi Ze's eyes looking behind her, Tang Tang knew that someone was coming, nodded obediently, and left with the kite in her arms.

Qi Ze took out the veil from his arms and put it on, turned around indifferently, with a soft smile like a woman in his eyes, looked at the middle-aged man who stepped into the door and said, "I don't know what General Qi wants to come to see Mrs. Ask, as long as this lady knows, she will know everything and say everything."

Looking at the familiar eyes in front of him, Qi Dai was a little lost, and asked after a while, "Where does Mrs. Ze live?"

"My wife lives in Beishuo. At that time, an accident happened at the border. Fortunately, His Royal Highness King Qin rescued me, so I followed His Highness to the palace." Qi Ze said in a feminine voice as softly as possible.

During the period when she first arrived at Prince Qin's Mansion, Butler Kong kept looking at her with pity, which made her helpless.After knowing the reason, he felt even more helpless, but it was indeed a good excuse, so Qi Ze just said it.

And I don't know whether Qi Dai has hatred for his father. After all, the war between the two countries is a major event, and the two have fought for many years. It is normal to have hatred in their hearts.Her identity as a native of Nanchu cannot be revealed at will, so she cannot let go of her guard.

Originally, she didn't need to see Qi Dai, but it's better to inquire clearly, and she doesn't know Qi Dai's attitude towards this matter.

"So that's how it is." Qi Dai's eyes were full of disappointment.

"Why did General Qi ask about my lady's hometown? But have you ever seen someone who looks like me?" Qi Ze said calmly, staring into Qi Dai's eyes.

I don't know if Qi Dai came to her because of her resemblance to her father.If it is to seek revenge, it will be bad.

"Yes, I have indeed seen someone who looks very similar to my wife, especially the eyes are almost exactly the same." Qi Dai's eyes were full of nostalgia, "It's just that he is from Nanchu, not from Beishuo. Madam and his Just look alike."

Looking at Qi Ze's cold demeanor, Qi Dai couldn't help but chuckled and shook his head. He is a gentle person, even wearing a silver robe and armor can't hide his gentle and noble demeanor.

"Really? It seems that he has a good relationship with General Qi?" Qi Ze said with a smile.

"Yes." Qi Dai chuckled, "He is an old friend of mine, and we haven't seen each other for many years."

"General Qi, don't worry, since we are old friends, you will always see each other." Qi Ze still smiled softly with an impeccable smile on his face.

"I can't see you anymore." Qi Dai said with loss and grief in his eyes, "He... has passed away."

Looking at the real disappointment in those eyes, Qi Ze couldn't help being shocked. It seems that he didn't come here to seek revenge, but really missed his father.

"I'm bothering you, so I'll take my leave." Qi Dai gave a majestic and upright military salute, and left with big strides.

Qi Ze looked at the back full of righteousness and blood on the battlefield, and was speechless for a while.It turned out that some people in Beishuo also remembered their father. Although his father passed away, people still remembered him.

Remember that gentle man in white clothes that wins the snow!
