General, please stay

Chapter 153

Yan Junxing bit her ear and said, "That's the two times."

Feeling the heat in his ears, Qi Gui blushed, lowered his head, and said, "Actually, it's okay..."

In fact, Yan Junxing is a general after all, even in the past, there were times when he was very willful.Sometimes Qi Gui was tossed so hard that he couldn't even get up the next day.But when I turned around, I forgot.Why do you remember those two times so clearly and be so scared?

Chess belongs to myself, but I don't quite understand it.

Yan Junxing asked her a few more words: "Does it hurt?"

"A little bit." I can't say how painful it is, really, after all, I am a mother of three children.

Yan Junxing hugged her a little tighter, and suddenly said: "Do you think I will hurt you?"

Qi Gui was dumbfounded, not quite understanding what he meant: "How could the general hurt me?"

Yan Junxing said in a low voice: "I know, you are worried, I am not in a hurry. Our days are still long."

Qi Gui shrank his head silently, feeling that he was really hypocritical, obviously already a mother of three children.But thinking about it, she tried a few times to tease Yan Junxing, but she couldn't do it...

Finally, annoyed, he turned over and fell asleep.

Yan Junxing turned over and hugged her again, secretly laughing.

Early the next morning, Qi returned to his body, and while dressing up, he asked someone to call Madam Geng to come over.

This year, Nanny Geng was in the capital to manage the affairs of Marquis Wu's mansion.She is self-disciplined and self-disciplined. Even if there is no master in charge of the family, she still sticks to her duties and rarely goes out.And at this time of turmoil in the court, her style undoubtedly saved a lot of trouble for Marquis Wu's mansion.

"Have the young master and the young master been in the palace all this time?"

Geng Momo thought for a while, and said: "A few days ago, on the Empress Dowager's 43rd birthday, Lord Fu brought his slaves into the palace together. I saw it once. The Empress Dowager put the two young masters together to raise them. The little princess born to the late emperor's concubine is also there. The empress dowager even joked that she would give the little princess to our young master as his wife."

Qi Gui frowned, and said: "It's just a joke. Is there any rumor in the palace recently?"

"There is one thing. Several ministers are talking about it, saying that they want to marry the king."

"... How old are you, what kind of wife do you marry!"

"It is said that a title should be established first, and sent to the palace, where the empress dowager will educate her from an early age. She also picked out a few daughters in a decent way... But this matter was stopped by Lord Fu, who said it would not be possible. system."

Qi Gui laughed and said, "Then what did the Empress Dowager say?"

Nanny Geng also seemed to find it ridiculous, and said, "Your Majesty didn't say anything, so I won't mention this matter again."

It seems that... the queen mother still has the intention of letting her go, and it should be to help Xiao Wang cultivate his own power since childhood.The daughters of the selected families are almost all the daughters of powerful officials from aristocratic families.

Qi Gui is actually not worried about these things, what is worried is that her young master is still in the palace, so it is best not to hit her daughter with ideas!
After getting dressed, Yan Junxing also came back from his morning exercise, and said, "Have something to eat, and we will enter the palace together later. I will go to court, and you can go to pay your respects to the Queen Mother."

The queen mother is in the nature of listening to the government halfway behind the curtain, and occasionally goes to court, but most of the time she does not go.

Qigui nodded, and went out together with Yan Junxing.

After entering the palace, the couple separated.Under the guidance of the palace servants, Qi Gui went to Zichen Palace.

However, when Fang entered the gate of Zichen Palace, he heard a shout: "The Empress Dowager goes to court!"

The maids and eunuchs rushed out like a tide, and Qi Gui was caught off guard, so he had to step back and kneel on the ground to see each other off.

When the Queen Mother went out, Nanny Geng supported Qi Gui and stood up, her face a little embarrassed.Anyone with a discerning eye can see that the Empress Dowager has the face of falling back.Yesterday I also said that I would let the chess return to the court today to pay my respects, and today I went to court again.

Qi Gui was not angry, but said: "Nurse, go find the female officer on duty in Zichen Palace, see what she has arranged, and then ask where the young master and young master of Marquis Wu's mansion are."

Nanny Geng thought for a while, and nodded yes.

Soon, the female officer of Zichen Palace came out, she was an eighth-rank Baolin, she seemed to be only [-] years old, she was still very young, and she was a little weak when she saw the chess return.

She really didn't expect that Qigui would be called by someone.

"Baolin Yuping, please greet Mrs. Hou."

Qi Gui said: "Let's get up, Baolin is welcome."

Yuping stood up.

Qi Gui said: "Since the empress is going to court, do you have any arrangements?"

Yuping is a little embarrassed, what arrangements can be made, and if there are arrangements, I can't make you look bad.

Qi Gui smiled and didn't care, and said: "Then, where are my young master and young master? Since the empress is going to court, I might as well go and see them first, and wait for the empress to come back by their side. .”

Yuping was a little hesitant, and said: "Why don't you wait for the Empress Dowager to come and make the decision?"

Qi Gui squinted at her and said, "Do you not know, or do you not want to say?"

Yuping hesitated, and said, "Chenqie..."

Geng Momo suddenly sternly said: "Bold! It's okay for our wife to go and see our children! How can we let you, a little Baolin, get in the way!"

Yuping quickly knelt down and said: "Madam calm down, slaves will never dare to stand in the way of Madam. It's just that the Empress Dowager ordered that without her old man's permission, no one can go to see the young master and the young master at will, that is, the king It is also impossible. Madam, don't embarrass your concubine."

Qi Gui personally went to help her up, and said in a low voice, "Why am I making things difficult for you? Since you don't want to tell me, don't tell me I don't know?"

Just ask around and you'll know!She just didn't want to make things too ugly!

At this time, a person came slowly down the steps, plain and graceful, and the years made her brows and eyes more calm.It's strange to say that when Concubine Su was young, she couldn't be called a beauty.When you are older, you have some elegance.

"Princess, why bother with a Baolin?"

Qigui let go of Yuping's hand, smiled faintly, and said, "Your Majesty, don't come here without any problems."

Concubine Su glanced at the sweaty Yuping, and said, "Go down first. Princess, since the Empress Dowager is going to court, why don't I let me accompany you for a walk in the imperial garden first?"

Qi Gui thought for a while, and followed suit, saying: "Okay."

Concubine Su glanced at the enchanting curve on the corner of her eyes, smiled lightly, and said, "The princess has used a new makeup look, which is very good."

Qi Gui smiled, and said: "Your Majesty is absurd."

The two walked side by side in the imperial garden, Concubine Su walked slowly, followed closely by Qi Gui.Concubine Su said in a low voice: "I remember the princess's elegant makeup when she entered the palace for the first time. Everyone said you were too weak to wear clothes, but I think you were a little too clean to wear makeup."

Qi Gui knew what she wanted to say, so he whispered: "At that time, I was young and ignorant, but now, Qi Gui is already the mother of the child."

Concubine Su said in a low voice: "Don't you feel it's a pity? You were such a beautiful person back then, why bother to let these... touch your heart?"

Qi Gui smiled, the provocative traces at the corners of his eyes seemed to be a little luminous.Today's her is no longer the little girl who used to wear makeup. Her bright red lips, but her eyes are as calm as water, which is shocking.

She whispered: "Your Majesty, there is no need to be sad about the spring and autumn. Since I have chosen this path, I will go on well."

Back then... That Zhao Qigui was poisoned to death by the Queen Mother's bowl of medicine long ago.

Even though she still has a delicate heart, she should keep it well in her stomach, protecting it layer by layer, so that only those who should see it can see it.

Grand Concubine Su looked at her, seemed a little regretful, finally lowered her voice, and said: "I have a few words for you, just listen to it, if you don't like to hear it, don't take it to heart."

Qi Gui said: "My lady, please tell me."

Grand Concubine Su looked at the flowers in front of her eyes, and said: "The empress dowager embarrassing you today, you are a smart person, you shouldn't take it to heart."

Qi Gui smiled, and said, "I dare not."

Concubine Su gave her a squinting look, and said: "I hope you understand your mother's painstaking efforts. You know, Marquis Wu has made great achievements and returned to the court, and the limelight is too strong. At this time, as a family member, you should be wronged a little bit." Yes, it can be regarded as avoiding the limelight for Master Hou."

It meant that people in the world should know that Marquis Wu, no matter how great his achievements were, would still kneel in front of the king.His child's mother is still in the palace, but she still has to bow her head.

Qi Gui lowered his eyes, and said: "Thank you for your reminder, the concubine understands the painstaking efforts of the empress dowager. It's just that my little son and the young master..."

Concubine Su Taigui said: "Don't worry about this matter, you are close relatives after all."

Qi Gui thought about it and felt that he couldn't be passive anymore, so he said in a low voice: "I don't want to lie to you, my concubine can tolerate other things, but this is the only one, I'm afraid I won't be able to wait."

Su Taigui concubine persuaded her in a low voice: "Why did you bother to come? Just wait a little longer, the limelight will pass, and as compensation, the Empress Dowager will definitely issue a decree to make the young master your son."

Qi Gui smiled and said: "There is no rush for this. Even if the concubine is delayed, the concubine will never dare to complain."

Concubine Su was silent.

The two walked for a while, and returned to the game: "Madam, would you like to take my concubine to see the two children?"

Concubine Su Taigui sighed and said, "Follow me."

Qi Gui said in a low voice: "Thank you for your understanding. I hope you can understand that the relationship between mother and child is really hard to let go. If the concubine has to choose between the power and name and the family relationship, the concubine must choose the latter."

Concubine Su knew what she said, and she wanted to bring it to the Queen Mother.

He didn't say anything at the moment, and took her directly to the Nuanxin Pavilion in Zichen Palace.Two children, and a little princess, were there.The little princess is older, over two years old, and is being played with by the nanny.The two little ones are only one year old, the one who crawls all over the ground with bare buttocks is the girl Xiaobao, and the one who is sitting steadily and motionless is the elder brother Dabao.

The two children were indeed white and fat, and the nurses and maids looked neat and clean. When they saw Concubine Su and Qi Gui, they stood up and saluted them.

Qigui smiled when he saw the child, sat down, and asked the nanny, "Did you eat well? Did you sleep well?"

The nanny smiled and said, "Everything is fine, eat well and sleep well!"

Qi Gui asked again: "How many teeth have you grown?"

Just as he was talking, Xiao Bao suddenly grinned, revealing a row of small teeth.

Qi Gui was startled and laughed, and said, "It has grown a lot."

Strange to say, the two children seem to know that she is their mother, so they are very close to her.Qigui played with the children for a while, and was in a good mood.

When it was time to go down to court, Yan Junxing really came with the empress dowager who had a bad face.

Qi Gui greeted Xiao Bao in his arms, and said with a smile, "My concubine pays her respects to the Empress Dowager."

The queen mother said lightly: "Get up."

Yan Junxing thought it was funny when he saw her.This morning, when I saw the mother came back to court, I knew something was wrong, but I didn't expect her to be touched in and see the child.

The Empress Dowager had listened to the report earlier, and after seeing this posture, she understood a little better.She believed that she had done her best, so she offered them two paths to choose. If they were willing to take a step back, everyone would be happy.Unfortunately they didn't.

It's all here, what else can she say?
Qi Gui said in a low voice: "These days, I really have to work hard for the empress dowager. The concubine must remember her great kindness and virtue in his heart, and I only hope that in the future, we can repay each other with a grass knot."

The Empress Dowager said: "You don't need to say more about these imaginary things. Nanny, you can take them away together. They are all used to you. If you change them suddenly, you are afraid that the child will not be happy. There are also other utensils, take them away first. You have hurried back to the capital, what can you prepare for!"

Yan Junxing slandered, you also know that we came back in a hurry?
After hearing this, Qi Gui was overjoyed, thanked again and again, and then went out with Yan Junxing and took the child out of the palace.

In Yangxin Pavilion, Concubine Su whispered a few words into the Queen Mother's ear?
The Queen Mother frowned and said, "She really said that?"

Concubine Su said: "That's true, it seems that she would rather not have a title."

The queen mother sneered, and said: "This time, let alone Xiao Shi, she has meritorious service, and her child will naturally be crowned prince! Otherwise, how can the Ai family explain to the world's ministers and workers? Well, she is a Zhao Qigui, and she has died before. Once, my mind has grown a lot."

Concubine Su did not think of this level.Instead, he was stunned for a moment, and then said: "Your Majesty, what do you mean, don't seal it?"

The queen mother was silent.
