Feng Qing Shaoyi

Chapter 169
"Bengong and Qi Shilang hit it off right away. I wonder if Qi Shilang would like to come and toast me?"

When everyone heard this, they raised their heads in surprise.Toast?Although when communicating between countries, there will be cases where courtiers toast the prince of a country.But they could see clearly the look in the eyes of the prince of Western Wei Dynasty, it was clearly a conspiracy.Otherwise, with so many courtiers, why did they only ask Qi Ze to toast?
At the same time, I couldn't help but feel sorry in my heart. It seems that being too outstanding is not a good thing. It is a pity that this Minister of the Ministry of War has such a good demeanor.

Both Murong Sheng and Murong Xiu looked at He Lian Hao in surprise, did He Lian Hao fall in love with Qi Ze?But Qi Ze has a timeless demeanor, so it's not surprising that he is being targeted.It's just that he didn't expect Helian Hao to have such a preference. He heard that the Western Wei Dynasty was indeed liberal in this regard, but he didn't expect that he would even mention it in public, blatantly coveting it.

At the same time, a trace of disgust flashed in their eyes, this is really...disgusting.

After Murong Sheng glanced at He Lianhao, his slightly frowned brows loosened.No matter what method He Lianhao uses, as long as he helps him get rid of Qi Ze, he won't pursue so much.

Murong Xiu looked at Qi Ze, and found that the man was still as calm as ever, and couldn't help but feel angry.Qi Ze, if you don't bow your head to this king for a day, this king will not help you.Since you are so capable, just figure it out yourself.Thinking of this, he turned his head slightly annoyed and stopped looking.

Xia Houyan and Princess Xiangcheng also looked at He Lianhao in surprise, and then smiled.It was not in vain to be able to watch the good show between the prince of the Western Wei Dynasty and the courtiers of the Southern Chu Dynasty.

Princess Xiangcheng glanced at Qi Ze meaningfully, she was so calm and calm just now, she didn't respond to provocative words.Don't you want to make a fool of yourself in public now?It's too funny to be spotted by a man.

Qi Chen didn't expect that Helian Hao would fall in love with Qi Ze, and even brought it up in front of everyone.But seeing Qi Ze have to bend down, throw away his arrogance and compromise, it's not a bad thing.Because of Princess Yongning, he has to endure humiliation, so why can Qi Ze stay out of the matter and live happily?He just wanted to see how Qi Ze would respond and continue to be proud.

Jiang Wen and Chu Kainan looked at He Lianhao in shock, and looked at Qi Ze worriedly at the same time.They couldn't be more clear about Shao Yi's innermost feelings.Usually they don't dare to have too much contact with Qi Ze, at most they just touch their arms and shoulders, and they dare not touch other places.

After all, Shaoyi is really too clean, spotless, they don't have the heart to touch it, feeling that it will tarnish him.And Shaoyi's eyes were too cold, they really didn't dare.He Lianhao is obviously breaking through Shaoyi's bottom line, but how can he refuse it? After all, this is a matter between two countries, and it would be bad if it provoked a war.

Xu Siheng also looked at He Lianhao in shock, gritted his teeth and clenched his hands, Shaoyi wanted to..., how could this be possible?Absolutely not, how could Shao Yi be given by He Lianhao..., the man couldn't help but panic.

When Helian Hao was staring at Qi Ze just now, he noticed it.I thought I was just looking at it, and although I was nervous, I was still relaxed.After all, as the prince of a country, He Lianhao would definitely pay attention to his words and deeds, and would not do anything excessive.

Who knew that they were all wrong, He Lianhao was so arrogant that he raised it in public, without any hesitation about other people's eyes.How can we refuse the matter between these two countries?At this time, it seems that as long as you refuse, it is wrong.

Hearing this, Qi Ze frowned lightly, lowering his eyes to hide the glint that flashed in them.Originally, he wanted to stop watching it for a while, but He Lianhao didn't mind her male status at all.You have to forget that the Western Wei Dynasty has never been reserved about this aspect.

"Qi Shilang don't need to be nervous, I just came to Nanchu, and I just want to find someone who can talk to me." He Lianhao stared at Qi Ze who bowed his head and said nothing, "I have always felt pity for a beauty like Qi Shilang. , will not do anything to Qi Shilang, what are you afraid of."

When everyone heard this, they couldn't help but feel sympathy for Qi Ze, and all lowered their heads.

Originally, Qi Ze knew that He Lianhao couldn't say anything good, but when he heard him call her "beauty" frivolously, he felt sick to his stomach.

"I also ask the prince of the Western Wei Dynasty to forgive me. I was seriously injured on the battlefield not long ago. I am afraid that I will neglect the prince because of this. If the prince wants to drink, there are maids in Southern Chu who specialize in serving toasts. They will serve you better than my minister. Prince." Qi Ze said calmly, suppressing the nausea in his heart.

Of course she knew that the matter between the two countries could not be easily rejected, but she really couldn't do it like an ordinary woman begging for compromise from a man.She couldn't help the nausea in her heart, she would definitely run into He Lianhao, and she would not be able to hide the identity of the woman.Anyway, it is to offend He Lianhao, so it is better to refuse directly to avoid troubles later.

But He Lianhao seemed to be determined, and after a bold smile, he looked at the court ladies who were serving respectfully behind him with distaste, "They don't have Qi Shilang who understands my heart better, not to mention that their looks can't compare." Then he stared at the cold man opposite, "I don't know where Qi Shilang was injured. There are a few imperial doctors with good medical skills in this palace. After Qi Shilang toasts, we might as well go back to the mansion together and let the imperial doctor show Qi Shilang well." Take a look."

At the end, He Lianhao's tone was ambiguous, and the eyes he looked at the man opposite became more and more presumptuous.

"Thank you Xi Wei for the favor of Prince Wei, but I'm afraid that I won't be able to bear the prince's attention because I'm a humble minister. Why don't you pick a few women who know you well and go back, they will understand His Highness's mind better than this minister." Qi Ze's face was expressionless. He refused with an expression, this Helian Hao is really difficult.

Hearing Qi Ze's refusal, He Lianhao's face turned cold, "Is Qi Shilang unwilling to toast for this palace? It is good to build two countries. But Qi Shilang's behavior will make me think twice."

No one dared to refuse him yet, anyway, he had had enough of playing with women, and now it seems that it is not bad to play with men for a change.Anyway, Murong Sheng wanted to get rid of him a long time ago, it's a pity to wait for Feng Zi to die, so what about letting him play.

Qi Ze lowered his eyes to cover up the sharpness that flashed across them.He Lianhao was forcing her to go. Although Southern Chu had relatively strong financial resources, it was a pity that due to the cold weather in some border cities, the lives of the people were extremely difficult.Although Emperor Zhaozheng also asked the Ministry of Households to allocate funds for funding, it was only a drop in the bucket.

The border city's economic downturn is like a bottomless pit, no matter how much money is spent, it is useless.The best way is to open trade routes with neighboring countries to drive economic development, so that people's lives can be enriched.However, the Western Wei Dynasty happened to border the Southern Chu with the most cities, and the two countries had never opened trade routes. He Lianhao's proposal this time was a very good opportunity.

The reputation of a courtier is nothing compared to the life of the people in the border city. It seems that she really can't escape this time.

He Lianhao also knew that Qi Ze had no choice, and with determination and complacency in his eyes, he smiled at Emperor Zhaozheng and said, "My lord, my palace intends to help the people on the border of your country get out of trouble, but the courtiers of your country have such an attitude towards this palace. I can't even make a toast, which makes it very difficult for me." As he spoke, he glanced at Qi Ze proudly.

Facing this kind of temptation, it was really hard for Emperor Zhaozheng to refuse as an emperor.If the reputation of a courtier is exchanged for the affluent life of the border people, this kind of transaction is very worthwhile.

"Qi Shilang, since the Crown Prince of the Western Wei Dynasty values ​​you so much, then you can go and toast the Crown Prince." Emperor Zhaozheng brushed off Concubine Wen Gui's hands pinching her shoulders, sat up straight, and wanted to show the majesty of an emperor, but couldn't hide his eyes. Tired, but still looking at Qi Ze steadfastly, "Since the wounds suffered on the battlefield have not healed, then follow the prince back to the mansion, let the prince's doctor take a good look at it, so as not to cause the root cause of the disease."

Everyone was stunned when they heard the words, there is an imperial physician in Southern Chu, why use the imperial physician from Western Wei?Anyone with a discerning eye knows that Emperor Zhaozheng is asking Qi Ze to exchange his body for a stable life for the common people.Although in terms of the big picture, it is indeed worthwhile, after all, there are not many commercial exchanges between the Western Wei Dynasty and the Southern Chu Dynasty.But for a man, this is a humiliation, and also... a lifetime of pain.

Qi Ze was seriously injured for Nan Chu, but now it is an excuse to push him into the abyss.Loyal protection of the lord has resulted in this kind of result, no matter who it is, I am afraid that it will be chilling.

Murong Sheng and Qi Chen couldn't help being ecstatic, this must be worse than killing Qi Ze.Murong Xiu frowned slightly, but didn't say anything.Jiang Wen and Chu Kainan were startled, and looked at Qi Ze worriedly. This is the monarch they serve, and for the benefit of the court, he can make his subjects pay all the price.Although he knew that the royal family was ruthless, he still couldn't help feeling cold.

Xu Siheng didn't seem to expect that He Lianhao would use border trade as a threat, and Emperor Zhaozheng actually agreed.Using a courtier to curry favor with others with a humble attitude is only for the benefit of the country.Although there is no problem in the overall situation, why is it Shao Yi.

Looking at the peaceful face of the person he loves not far away, the man gritted his teeth, pressed against the edge of the table and wanted to stand up to speak, but Xu Bai who was next to him grabbed his arm and forcibly pulled him back to his seat.Looking at Xu Bai, Xu Siheng wanted to say something, but was stopped by Xu Bai's unusually stern gaze.

This is a major event between the two countries, and it is no longer something they can interfere with.This time, the purpose of Western Wei and Dong Teng coming here is not pure, and it is very likely that they will be targeted for this.Facing the prince of a country, how could the little Xu family be an opponent?And even Emperor Zhaozheng agreed, even if they went out to help, it would be useless.

Of course Xu Siheng understood these reasons, and he had never seen such stern eyes from Xu Bai.Even Emperor Zhaozheng agreed, even if he went out this time, he might not be able to save Shaoyi, but the Xu family would definitely be hated by He Lianhao for this.The Xu family is a family under King Jin, and King Jin will also be affected by this.

At that time, the king of Jin may not necessarily help, and the Xu family will definitely die at that time.But let him watch Shaoyi being occupied by He Lianhao, how can he do it?
Xu Bai seemed to know that Xu Siheng would not give up easily, so he turned his face away from Xu Siheng, as if he hadn't spoken to Xu Siheng, and warned in a low voice: "Father knows that you want to save Qi Ze, but the Xu family behind you doesn't allow it. And your mother and Youyi don't allow it either. Now that the Xu family can't protect themselves, how can they save others? Rong Yu, you've always been smart, so there shouldn't be a need for my father to remind you of this."

Originally Xu Siheng was still struggling, but when he heard the names of Mrs. Xu and Xu Youyi, his body suddenly became weak and he forgot to struggle for a moment.It's okay for him to die, but mother and Youyi can't have anything to do, he can't... go out.

The man couldn't help laughing at himself, he still couldn't protect him.

The person in the indigo brocade robe had a very calm expression.In fact, when He Lianhao proposed to open a trade route, she knew that Emperor Zhaozheng would definitely agree, but she still couldn't help but feel chills in her heart.

At the beginning, my father also guarded Nanchu for more than ten years, but he was persecuted to death by his family because of a master of great merit.Is she going to abandon her now because of the interests of the court?In this situation, no one can save her, and she has no choice. It seems that she can only protect herself as much as possible.

Qi Ze tightly closed his eyes, opened them slowly after a while, bent slightly and bowed his hands in salute, with a calm tone, "Yes, I obey."

Although it was only a very flat tone, everyone couldn't bear to lower their heads, shaking their heads and sighing lightly.

Qi Ze slowly walked to Emperor Zhaozheng's seat, and Eunuch Chang hurriedly handed over a glass of wine, sighing with sympathy in his eyes.It's a pity that such a good demeanor will be ruined by others.But this was something that Emperor Zhaozheng personally agreed to, and others couldn't do it even if they wanted to ask for mercy, so they could only let He Lianhao do whatever he wanted in Nanchu.

Looking at the clear and rich wine in his hand, Qi Ze paced up to He Lianhao, stretched out his hand and passed the wine glass over.

He Lianhao looked at the well-behaved person, and his eyes looked even more unscrupulously at that delicate and jade-like face.Unexpectedly, this Qi Ze has such a good-looking appearance, it is much more charming when seen from a close distance than when viewed from a distance.It's a pity not to be a girl, but he doesn't mind being a man.

A pair of wide palms and hands with slightly rough fingers slowly caught the wine glass. At the moment of receiving it, the owner of the hand paused for a moment, and touched the slender and white hand with his fingers.

Feeling Helian Hao touch her hand, Qi Ze felt extremely uncomfortable, he immediately let go of his hand and put it beside him.Because of Qi Ze's sudden let go of that glass of wine, it poured onto Helian Hao's clothes.

Looking at the water stains on his clothes, He Lianhao was also stunned for a moment, did someone spill wine on him?Anger immediately rose in his eyes, and he stared straight at the person in front of him who had already turned his face away.

When Eunuch Chang saw this, he was taken aback for a moment, and then he reacted immediately. He ran over in a hurry, took out the handkerchief in his sleeve, bent down to wipe the water stains on Helian Hao's clothes, and said with a smile: "Don't blame the prince of the Western Wei Dynasty, this wine glass It’s just not easy to be sure. The servant will pour another glass for the prince, this wine is a specialty of Nanchu, I guarantee that the prince has not tasted it. It is rare for the prince to come to Nanchu, it would be a pity if he didn’t taste it.”

He Lianhao turned his head and stared at Eunuch Chang coldly, did he not hold the wine glass firmly?This is clearly Qi Ze's avoidance, he has already been sold by the Southern Chu court, no matter how cold and arrogant he is now, it is useless.If you dare to hate him, he will crush his arrogance tonight.

"In that case, please trouble Eunuch Chang to pass me another glass. After all, I really want to taste Nanchu's wine." At the end, Helian Hao turned his head and stared at Qi Ze coldly.

Eunuch Chang carefully glanced at Qi Ze who had already turned his head away from Helian Hao, nodded and bowed and said, "Yes, this slave will fetch it for the prince."

When Eunuch Chang brought a glass of wine, he carefully handed it to He Lianhao.He Lianhao took the wine, looked at the wine in his hand for a while, then raised his eyes to look at the proud man and said, "I won't drink this glass of wine. This is the first time that Minister Qi meets Ben Gong, so I don't have anything to give away." How about Qi Shilang drink this glass of wine and treat it as a greeting gift from the palace to Qi Shilang?"

Jiang Wen and the others sweated when they heard the words, Shao Yi was not good at drinking at all.And perhaps for a celebratory banquet, the drinks served were strong spirits.If she drank this glass of wine, Shao Yi would probably pass out on the spot, and then He Lian Hao could really do whatever she wanted.

This wine is strong wine, of course Qi Ze knows it too.She has a poor capacity for alcohol, and I'm afraid she will pass out after drinking.If He Lianhao finds her daughter's body, then she will bid farewell to the court completely.And let the whole world know that there is a military servant in Southern Chu who pretends to be a man to disrupt the government. Then she will really be insulted by the whole world.

"Also invite Haihan, Prince of the Western Wei Dynasty, I am not good at drinking." Qi Ze turned his head to look at He Lianhao, suppressing the panic in his heart and said calmly.

"Oh, not good at drinking?" He Lianhao seemed to have heard something funny, "Qi Shilang, a seven-foot man, said he was not good at drinking? If a dignified and manly man is not good at drinking, then everyone in the world will really laugh at him. Our Western Wei Dynasty A five-year-old boy can drink two full jars of wine, will this small glass of wine overwhelm Qi Shilang?" After speaking, he handed the wine to Qi Ze, with an obvious intention of persecution.

Just as Qi Ze was quietly looking at the wine glass in front of him, and didn't reach out to take it, he heard He Lian Hao continue to say: "If Qi Shilang doesn't drink this glass of wine today, then I will have to think twice about opening a trade route. "

Or use this to force her?Qi Ze couldn't help clenching his hands, feeling Emperor Zhaozheng's gaze, he could only slowly reach out to take the wine glass.

Under Helian Hao's complacent gaze, Qi Ze put the wine glass to his mouth, smelling the strong aroma of strong wine inside, he knew that Emperor Zhaozheng was staring at her.If she doesn't drink it, her official career will be over.

Feeling weak in her heart, it is difficult to breathe, and the feeling of being persecuted is really uncomfortable, but in order to survive better in the future, she has no choice.

Just as he was about to raise his head and take a sip, he felt someone grabbing his waist, and the wine glass in his hand was also released from his hand by the sudden force, and swung aside, the wine in it spilled on the ground.

The tip of the nose is full of the melodious and familiar scent of sandalwood, as well as the deep magnetic voice.

"The king wants this person!"
