General, please stay

Chapter 359
After dinner, Qi Gui ordered Erlang to be sent back, and wanted to have a good talk with Yan Junxing, but the little girl came and wanted to sleep with them.

Qi Gui is now full of tenderness towards Yan Junxing and is very unwilling.However, Yan Junxing thought that he must do what he said to the child, so he hugged Niuniu to the bed.

Helpless, little Niuniu was so excited that she couldn't sleep no matter how coaxed she was, she still grabbed Yan Junxing to tell stories.Yan Junxing had no choice but to play with Qigui's hair and tell her some random stories in a steady voice.

Qi Gui fell asleep first.

Yan Junxing looked at her, his voice became blurred.I couldn't stop thinking about the appearance of her wearing half a handful of black hair today, thinking that it's really a pity.

She looked like she was back when we first met, she was still a young girl.

When she followed him, she suffered a lot.

Xiao Niuniu looked at him in a daze, stopped telling the story, and suddenly said: "Daddy likes mother."

Yan Junxing laughed in surprise, and said, "Yes, Daddy likes Mother."

Niu Niu said unhappily: "Daddy likes Niu Niu, or mother?"

Yan Junxing smiled and said, "I like them all."

Unexpectedly, the little girl was dissatisfied, and said: "Only one."

It means to choose only one.

Yan Junxing thought about it very seriously, and then said: "Then Daddy likes your mother, without your mother, where would you come from?"

Little Niu Niu suddenly burst into tears!
Yan Junxing was caught off guard by crying, even Qigui was frightened awake, quickly hugged Niuniu in his arms, got out of bed, patted and coaxed.

Looking at the sneering Yan Junxing, Qi Gui was a little annoyed, and said, "Let you recruit her!"

While crying, Xiao Niuniu pitifully grabbed Qi Gui by the collar, and said, "Daddy is bad! Daddy is bad!"

Chess Gui glared at Yan Junxing angrily.Yan Junxing can't argue with a hundred mouths.Xin Dao said that this little girl likes to provoke people the most. He used to laugh it off, but he didn't expect it to be his turn today.I also feel that this is a problem and needs to be corrected!

Under Qigui's soft coaxing, little Niuniu gradually calmed down, she just lay in Qigui's arms, choked up and said, "Mother likes Daddy, or Niuniu?"

Qi Gui choked for a moment, looked up at Yan Junxing who was suppressing a smile, and said softly to Niuniu: "I like them all."

Niu Niu was naturally dissatisfied, she puffed her cheeks and said, "Only one!"

Qi Gui thought hard for a while, then said helplessly: "The mother likes Daddy. Because Daddy doesn't mess around, doesn't get jealous, doesn't..."

Before she could seriously explain the truth, Niu Niu burst into tears again!
This time, Yan Junxing couldn't help but laugh out loud!
In the end, the nanny and Qigui coaxed Niuniu down for a long time.Niu Niu seemed to be very angry. She hugged the nanny's neck and clamored for someone to take her to find her aunt, saying that she would stop talking to her father and mother.

Qi Gui told Xiaomi to go to Chen Yu's place, and if the little girl asked about it, no matter what she asked, Chen Yu would say that she liked her the most.Then someone took her there.

The couple couldn't laugh or cry together.

"This temper..." Yan Junxing was helpless.

"Like you." Qi Gui said without raising his head.

Yan Junxing choked for a moment, thought about it, and said that she was not as jealous as he was.He had no choice but to hug her in his arms, and said, "Fortunately, I'm not a girl."

Both couldn't help laughing.

In the following days, Qigui went to the palace every day to help Guoguo revise Zhao Shi.Yan Junxing fell down and had nothing to do, so he simply entangled a group of former partners and went out hunting every day.In this way, not to mention Yan Junming, even Qi Gui often couldn't find where he was.

He is all-powerful on the battlefield, and he is naturally a good player on the hunting ground.Qi Gui brought the strange things he hunted back into the palace every day to present to the Queen Mother, so as to appease the Queen Mother's dissatisfaction.

Zichen Palace.

The queen mother yelled unhappily: "You also said that you are not in good health and want to stay at home with you! It's good now, I went to the mountains with you! I don't see people all day long. Children of seventeen or eighteen years old are better than me. He is stable!"

Yan Junming was also there, so he helped Yan Junxing to laugh, saying: "The tenth brother was born as a military general, and he has been a civil servant for so long, and it is inevitable that he feels itchy..."

The Empress Dowager stared at Qi Gui, and said: "The Ai family knows that he is wild, so you don't care about him!"

When the chess returns, there are endless complaints.I thought to myself that if you hadn't dragged me into the palace, he wouldn't have run to the mountains every day, and now he doesn't even have a home, so I'll cry to someone.

He had no choice but to say with a cheeky face: "It's not going out of Beijing anyway...it's just hunting, and it's not good for my concubine to keep him at home."

The queen mother was very dissatisfied, and said: "If you can't control it, just say you can't control it, or you will bring back those messy things he brought back every day to make your family angry!"

Chess return: "..."

Yan Junming saw that her head was about to sink into the ground, so he hurriedly said, "Sister-in-law Wang doesn't even care about Brother Ten, what do you think about the enthronement ceremony?"

Speaking of this, the queen mother became angry again, and said: "This is your tenth brother's busy business, so you come to ask Ai's family what to do!"

Yan Junming: "..."

Concubine Su Taigui hurriedly said: "Don't be angry. Although the king and Lord Hou are busy with this matter, you still have to decide the affairs of the inner palace, right?"

As she spoke, she couldn't help laughing again, and said: "So many ladies come to greet you every day, what do you think? Now that the world is settled, it's time to give the king ample harem."

Sure enough, the Queen Mother diverted her attention.

This time it was Yan Junming's turn to be dumbfounded, and while winking at Qi Gui, he said, "Sister-in-law Wang, this matter is not urgent... Hasn't the country's filial piety not passed yet?"

"I didn't say that I must be welcomed into the palace right away. I'll be elected now, and it will be much easier once the national filial piety is over next year."

Talking about it, the queen mother put on a tiger face and said: "Your Majesty, this is a major matter related to the ancestors and the country, but you and your tenth brother can't let you and your tenth brother mess around like that!"

Yan Junming hoped that Qigui would intercede with him, but Qigui just lowered his head and pretended to be dead.Immediately, he sighed in his heart that the world is cold, so he had no choice but to bite the bullet and say: "Sister-in-law Wang, don't be busy, this matter still needs to be carefully considered."

The queen mother said disdainfully: "What are you considering!"

Yan Junming stood up, and said solemnly: "Sister-in-law Wang, listen to me."

Then he brought out what he said to Yan Junxing in Marquis Wu's mansion.These include Dayan treasury revenue, harem expenditure, and the current state of the world.

He talked for a long time, his mouth was dry, trying to make himself look upright.

Qi Gui felt pitiful looking at him, and thinking of his daughter, his heart softened a little, and he couldn't help but also stood up, saying: "Madam, what the king said is not unreasonable. Now the world is at the beginning of time, and the old land is in chaos. Your Majesty Thinking wholeheartedly about the common people, taking the lead in frugality, can also calm the hearts of the people in the world, and let them know that they are following a sage king."

If someone else said this, the Queen Mother would probably scold her.But what I said so was Qigui.

Qi Gui has always been an obedient and sensible person.She was never jealous and did not compete for favor, and even took the initiative to recruit Yan Jun to take a concubine.It's just that it didn't work out.So Qi Gui said this, it must not be out of selfishness, and it is impossible for her to know about Guoguo.

The Empress Dowager pondered for a while, and said: "The etiquette of the ancestors cannot be abolished."

Yan Junming said: "I didn't say no, I just thought it shouldn't be a big fanfare. Not to mention, just entertaining those ladies will cost a lot of money for nothing. Why don't I choose a queen first after the country's filial piety is over? , everything should not be extravagant."

The queen mother couldn't help laughing, and said, "I've never seen a king like you!"

Qi Gui smiled and said: "If the country is filial piety and the queen is elected, it will not be the queen, it will be the queen."

The Queen Mother is in a very good mood again.

After Yan Junming passed the test, he couldn't help but secretly heaved a sigh of relief.

The queen mother was more serious and asked about Concubine Su.Concubine Su told about the recent substantial increase in palace expenses.The Queen Mother really frowned.Although she is grand, she is not a reckless person.As Yan Junming said, the world is set and the general election is still far away. It is really not worthwhile to start extravagance and waste at this time.

Qi Gui hurriedly said again: "Nowadays, the family of the rich and powerful has a lot of expenses. Duobao Pavilion and other places are full of customers every day, and there is already a certain style of spending big bucks in Beijing."

The queen mother was startled: "So outrageous?"

Qi Gui said: "Go back to your mother's words. I used to buy jewelry and rouge gouache in Beijing. Take the concubine as an example. The jewelry is excellent if it is a hundred taels, and the rouge gouache is also at that price. Now when you go out, it is less than 300 taels. No one even looks at the jewelry. There are also clothes and cloth, casually eye-catching, taking the formal clothes worn by the concubine as an example, it is not worth ten taels of silver. Now if it is not at least 20 taels, it seems to be It's invisible."

She has always been stingy, and she hasn't bought any new jewelry after returning to Beijing, which is also related to this reason.

The Empress Dowager gasped and said, "The rise is too high."

Yan Junming hurriedly said: "It's all because of the wind of picking. Nowadays, some people can't keep eating, and the prices of these clothes and jewelry have risen sharply."

The queen mother glared at him, and thoughtfully, said: "The world was first settled, and the price of goods soared. If this continues, I'm afraid that the people will not be able to live."

Yan Junming said: "That's right, that's why I think we should put aside the matter of selection first."

Before the Queen Mother could speak, Qi Gui smiled and said, "Your Majesty is really a benevolent and harmonious king, this is the blessing of the people in the world."

This double reed sings well.Anyway, the matter of picking and choosing was suppressed.

The Empress Dowager's attention was also diverted to the price of luxury goods, and she had no time to talk to Yan Junxing and Yan Junming, what kind of moths the two brothers were doing.Even returning home with chess is a lot easier.

Later, Qigui left the palace and met Yan Junming who was still on the way.After being startled, she went up to invite Ann.

Yan Junming seemed to hesitate for a moment, and said, "Sister-in-law Shi, I have something I've always wanted to tell you."

Qi Gui was startled, and quickly said: "The king's words are serious."

Yan Junming was a little embarrassed, and said: "Because of my recklessness, General Li was killed. I..."

He has been holding this in his mind for a long time.He knew that Li Wan was Qigui's only relative.Although she now has a niece again, it is different after all.

Hearing about Li Wan, Qi Gui also sighed.
