Phoenix Fight: The First Concubine

Chapter 177 Who Can Have No Troubles?

Lest she really think that she is invincible and doesn't know the sufferings of the world.

"My son can also help you, don't worry, I can let someone take you in."

Qianxi raised her eyebrows, looking at the girl in front of her, she really wondered if she had helped the wrong person.

How did things get like this?

She originally thought that she could act chivalrously like some storytellers said!
But she is not stupid. She grew up in the palace, so how could she be so careless? Seeing this young girl's eyes fixed on her husband, jealousy arose in her heart, and she glared at Li Ji angrily. glance.

Li Ji complained endlessly in his heart, this matter was not caused by him, well, he had to clean it up.

"This girl, if it wasn't for Xiao...Brother Xiao, I probably wouldn't have made a move. Since Brother Xiao said he could take you in, I could. But it seems that you don't want to. If that's the case, the girl can be here too. Continue singing with your old father. Brother Xiao, the meal is almost done, we should go back."

Qianxi snorted, seeing the girl begging in surprise, she felt unhappy, she was being treated like a donkey for her good intentions, and she was going to date a woman who wanted to seduce her husband, she would be happy if she could.

At this time, a middle-aged man who was white and clean and dressed in a rich man's coat suddenly ran over, but this man was used to bowing his knees, even though he was wearing fine clothes, his posture remained the same, and he shouted: "Young Master Li!" , wait a minute, my master is here to invite you."

Li Ji looked back and was stunned.

"What's the matter, this is..." Qianxi was still impatient at first, but when she saw the white-faced and beardless middle-aged man, all her words stopped abruptly.

"Lu..." Qianxi coughed lightly, and immediately became much more obedient: "Why are you here?"

Luffy winked at her and pointed up.

Qianxi and Li Ji looked at each other, complaining incessantly.

Qianxi glanced up and whispered to Lu Fei, "Up there?"

Luffy blinked.

Li Ji coughed lightly, "Brother Xiao, we'd better go up."

After finishing speaking, he dragged Qianxi up to the second floor.

Now that girl singing didn't get what she wanted, she was a little lost, and couldn't help feeling a little regretful, judging by the girl's situation, she must be either rich or expensive, but it's a pity that she started to be obsessed with ghosts, and she wanted to climb up to that rich man. Now the bamboo basket was empty, and nothing was caught.

Lu Bing watched from the side, so he could clearly see what the girl was thinking. He told the father and daughter to go home and stop singing for two days because of the trouble.

Here, Xiang Qianxi and Li Ji went up to the second floor, and Lu Fei led them to the box.

After a few short steps, Qianxi's black eyes rolled around, thinking of an excuse to make excuses later, and she couldn't be sent back to the capital no matter what.

Otherwise, didn't she run out in vain?
Luffy replied in a low voice outside, and a familiar voice came from inside: "Come in."

After entering the private room, she saw her parents and adults sitting upright, with serious expressions on their faces, Qianxi was stunned, why did she put on such a battle, as if she was interrogating a prisoner.

Seeing this situation, the girl knew something was wrong, so she walked over and held Li Ji's hand, as if Li Ji could protect her from disaster.

Murong Wei saw her daughter's bear look on the side, she knew it was funny, this girl saw the opportunity quickly, she found Li Ji to stop the disaster by herself, even if Xiao Mingrui scolded Li Ji, she would not be too cruel, after all, she is a son-in-law, But it was different with her.

Li Ji glanced at her, knowing that there was nothing he could do. Who made him her husband?

I hope the mother-in-law can say something nice, otherwise, the old father-in-law hates to scare people when he scolds others.

"Father, Queen Mother... Qianxi greets you two." Qianxi came forward to salute with a smile as if nothing happened, and pulled Li Ji and said: "Father, look, Li Ji has something to tell you."

Li Ji glared at her, turned around and saw Xiao Mingrui coldly said: "Why, tell me why you are here?"

Li Ji stepped forward and said, "Father, this matter is my...my idea. I want to go to the south of the Yangtze River with Qianxi, you and the queen mother, but I am afraid that you will be angry if you find out, so I followed secretly, afraid of you. will find out."

Xiao Mingrui snorted, and said angrily: "Okay, you think I won't know the temperament of the two of you, Qianxi, come here for me, why, you are pretending to be innocent at this time, don't tell me, this matter It has nothing to do with you."

Qianxi blinked her eyes, and walked up to her in a low voice: "Father, don't you see that my daughter is filial, don't you worry about you and the queen mother? My daughter is reluctant to leave you, so she decided to go with you. You see Aren't you happy that your daughter is so good?"

Murong Wei laughed, and cursed angrily, "You're a lot of nonsense!"

Obviously he wanted to come out to play by himself, but it was a set of principles, and it really seemed like that.

If you don't know, you will really be fooled by her.

Xiao Mingrui nodded, pretending to be angry and said: "It seems that you really don't know the heights of the sky and the depths of the earth. It's just you and Li Ji, and you don't bring anyone to follow. Do you really think you are invincible? Just like what happened today, you Look at you... how much you will be in the limelight, so you still want to go to Jiangnan safely?"

Seeing that his wife was being trained so hard that she couldn't lift her head up, Li Ji bit the bullet and argued, "My son-in-law and Qianxi also have a sense of propriety."

"Properity? Li Ji, I haven't mentioned you yet!" Xiao Mingrui blew his beard and stared: "You said you were more mature in the battlefield, why are you messing around with Qianxi? She said she was going to sneak out and you followed her?"

In front of Xiao Mingrui's Long Wei, how could these two teenagers resist, at this moment they could only bow their heads and be scolded.

Qianxi looked at Murong Wei pleadingly, thinking that her mother always loves her, if anyone else can talk to her at this time, it must be her mother.

Murong Wei pretended not to see it, and drank tea while listening to Xiao Mingrui's reprimand.

This girl is really too bold, Murong Wei thinks that she needs to be restrained, lest she really cause any trouble in the future, which will be troublesome.

After all, it is impossible for her to follow them all her life. She is still young now, but wait for two years, don't you want children?

When the time comes, she will still have to live by herself. Some things must be experienced to understand. Although Qianxi is married now, she is obviously still a child.

And Li Ji was obedient to her, and the two were also a pair of living treasures.

Xiao Mingrui reprimanded him for a long time, until his mouth became parched, Qianxi cleverly made a cup of tea for Xiao Mingrui, and looked at him eagerly: "Father, you are thirsty, why don't you drink some tea? It's okay if you scold your daughter, but don't It’s better to hurt your own dragon body because of this, otherwise my daughter’s crime will be serious.”

Xiao Mingrui took a few sips of tea, glared at her and said: "Sit down, you can go back to the capital when you turn around, don't make trouble for your imperial brother and the others."

Qianxi hurriedly said: "Daughter really wants to honor you and the queen mother, father, good father, you are the greatest father in the world, please grant your poor daughter this little wish."

Murong Wei couldn't help laughing, and said to Xiao Mingrui: "Look, what did I say?"

Murong Wei told Xiao Mingrui before that it is absolutely impossible for Qianxi to go back, she must be playing tricks, isn't it now?

Xiao Mingrui raised his eyebrows and said: "I went out with your mother. It was because we worked so hard for so many years and wanted to go out to relax. What did you do?"

In fact, the reason is very simple. He just wants to live a two-person world with his wife. With Qian Xi, a noisy girl, will he still have a peaceful life? How can he relax with his wife?
Li Ji tugged at Qianxi's sleeve, "Qianxi, I think we should go back to the capital. It's rare for father and queen to go out once. We still have a chance in the future."

"No!" Qianxi threw herself in front of Murong Wei, grabbing her knees and refused to let go: "Mother, mother, please promise me that my daughter will be obedient, otherwise, Li Ji and I will act alone, that's fine Yet?"

Xiao Mingrui said angrily: "What do you look like? If you say that, is it fair to your brothers and sisters?"

Qianxi blinked her eyes and said, "Brother and the others are both busy. The eldest sister has a baby, so she has to take care of my nephew. As for the third brother, he is busy collecting antiques, how can he have time for me?"

Thinking of this, she felt aggrieved, and looked at her parents with tears in her eyes: "Father, Queen Mother, you can take me with you, Qianxi can't bear to part with you, and she hasn't left you so much for so many years."

Seeing his daughter's pitiful appearance, Xiao Mingrui's heart softened for a moment, and he couldn't help sighing.

Children are really debts from the previous life, he thought of what Murong Wei said once, and felt very empathetic.

Murong Wei also softened her heart, "You're married too, when will you grow up? Well, don't be like this, get up, let you follow suit?"

Qianxi burst into laughter immediately, and happily put her arms around Murong Wei and said affectionately: "My mother is the best to me."

Murong Wei said angrily: "I really don't know what evil I did in my previous life to get such a little grinder like you."

Qianxi has a thick skin, but now she stepped forward and rubbed her shoulders and beat her back, working diligently like a little maid, but Xiao Mingrui couldn't help laughing to herself.

It was at this time that I could see this girl be nice.

On weekdays, I have never seen her so honest.

Seeing that they agreed, Li Ji was also relieved, there was nothing he could do, who made him marry such a wife, so he could only sacrifice his life to accompany the gentleman.

Fortunately, following the team of father, queen and queen, it is expected that something will happen.

Even if the capital gets news, it's okay.

Now that we have recognized each other, there is no harm in staying longer at this moment.

After dinner, we walked around for a while before returning to the inn.

Li Ji and Qianxi also moved here from the inn where they used to live. In the evening, Xiao Mingrui went to play chess with Li Ji, and Murong Wei went to the room to talk with his daughter.

Murong Wei then asked: "Don't you have any thoughts about what happened today?"

Qianxi was eating snacks, when she heard the words she asked in confusion, "What is Mother talking about?"

Murong Wei glared at her with a headache: "What's the matter, just about the restaurant, tell me about saving lives tonight, don't you have any thoughts?"

Qianxi paused, and said angrily: "Why don't you think about it? Mother, you said you are annoying. I saved people with good intentions. Why didn't the girl in the store thank me, but Li Ji? Why? ?”

Murong Wei stroked her forehead, "Because you are stupid!"

"My queen, I'm not stupid. How could such a beautiful and intelligent daughter of a queen mother be stupid?"

Murong Wei nodded her head with her finger, dumbfounded: "You still say that you are not stupid, look at your body, why, you still look like you so that no one can see that you are a woman?"

"Oh, you mean she saw me as a girl?"

Qianxi is not stupid, but sometimes she is too confident in herself, but she really thinks her disguise is invincible.

Unexpectedly, it was seen through by a girl in the store.

"Yes, it doesn't matter what you do today is right or wrong, but you also have to see who you are. A singing singer, who walks here and there on weekdays and mixes in the lower classes, has more knowledge than you. Such a person, you have to say her It's a joke if you are so innocent. She sees through that you are a girl, so she naturally doesn't want to follow you, and it happens that you have Li Ji by your side, and she wants to climb up to Li Ji, so as to curry favor with the rich, why didn't she see this?"

"I could see that she was not right with Li Ji, but I didn't expect her to see that I was a girl. But mother, if she wants to climb the dragon and become the phoenix, why doesn't she follow that young master?"

Qianxi was very puzzled and very depressed.

"Isn't that simple? At first glance, the young master is not a person who will be sympathetic to women. She is also a bit smart. She knows that if she goes back with such a person, she will be tired of being played. It must be miserable. It doesn't depend on your sense of justice. Excessive fools are easy to get along with, so they come to you? You really like your character when you are a man?"

Murong Wei criticized mercilessly, these words made Qianxi bow her head, she was really ashamed to face people, she really didn't know these things.

"Don't always think that people love you because they really like you. You have to distinguish what is true and what is false."

Qianxi pursed her lips so that she could hang up the oil bottle, "Queen, don't talk about it, hmph, I don't care about it from now on. It's really disappointing. It's rare to be happy to be a heroine again. I didn't expect to be rejected." People have played tricks."

"It's not that you can't do good because of it. It's just to see clearly whether some people are worth helping. If you help, it will hurt you. If you don't have any gratitude, what's the use of saving such people? It's no different from saving a wolf. .”

Qian Xi nodded, "Empress Mother is right."

After speaking, he hugged Murong Wei with a smile and said: "Daughter can play with you and the emperor, and you can teach me along the way."

"When will you be able to make me worry like your eldest sister!"

Qian Xi smiled and said, "Yes, I will talk about it when I am the same age as Eldest Sister."

Murong Wei also has nothing to do with this girl, who made her her daughter.

Xiao Mingrui played a game of chess with Li Ji, and Li Ji lost badly. Xiao Mingrui felt bored, so he went back to his room to drive away his daughter and occupy his wife.

"That little girl is just spoiled, and it's really a headache to be like this even after she's married."

Murong Wei smiled and said, "I don't care about her, as long as Li Ji likes it, as long as they live together as a couple, just be happy. Why should we wrong our daughter?"

Xiao Mingrui was taken aback, thinking about it, anyway, Li Ji has no objection, so let it be whatever you want.

But he still complained a little, and when he was resting with his arms around his wife, he was still complaining: "Girl with no winks, why don't you let her parents live in a two-person world?"

Murong Wei laughed so hard that her branches trembled, "They are old couples, and they are still in the world of two."

Xiao Mingrui didn't think it was funny, he said seriously: "This is what you said before, we were all young at that time, and there were children's burdens, now I don't even care about the world, and I still care about those children's affairs Well?"

Murong Wei sighed: "Then you won't regret it? In fact, it's really too early for you to retire at this time."

I think Emperor Jianwu refused to let go until the last moment.

Who is willing to give up this supreme right? It is very fascinating.

And Xiao Mingrui is not very old, and if he retires at this time, it is reasonable to say that he can still be the emperor for many years.

"I've let the words out, and then backtracked, what does it look like. Besides, Hutou can do a good job by himself. Although it was a bit uncomfortable at first, but now I feel that there is nothing wrong with wasting the time of my life on In terms of state affairs, it is really a very boring thing. I can be regarded as loving the beautiful and not loving the country."

Murong Wei didn't smile, but hugged him gently: "Husband, I will definitely treat you better in the future."

Xiao Mingrui's eyes flickered, and he jokingly said, "You treated me badly before, and you know that?"

Murong Wei said angrily: "Who treated you badly?"

"That's right, you didn't even want to marry me at that time. If I hadn't been pestering you, you would have married someone else."

Thinking of this incident, Xiao Mingrui felt a little depressed, "Did you live well if you were married to Xiao Jinglan at that time?"

Thinking of this assumption, Xiao Mingrui felt very uncomfortable.

Murong Wei's eyes widened and she punched him: "Are you bored or not? This is something that didn't happen at all. It's thanks to you remembering things so far away."

Xiao Mingrui coughed lightly, how could he not remember clearly.

At that time, he could be considered to have used some small tricks to prevent Prince Jing from wanting to propose a marriage. He made the best use of the situation, and only then was there a way to embrace the beauty.

Of course, he and Murong Wei were also in love at that time, otherwise, he probably wouldn't have forced a woman who didn't like him to marry him given his character.

Murong Wei thought about this question seriously, and it gave her a headache, and finally she couldn't help but laugh.

"It's true that there are countless possibilities in life, but whatever it is, as long as you choose to live happily in the present, why worry about the past?"

Xiao Mingrui thought about it too, but of course he didn't really worry about this matter. He has been an old couple for decades, and it's not his style to worry about this matter.

Since Murong Wei almost died that time, Xiao Mingrui dealt with some Taoist priests and sent them away after she woke up.

Because he had used some elixirs before, Murong Wei spent a lot of effort, using medicines and food to remove the heavy metals left in the body, including kelp and some seafood actually have such effects. For this reason, Murong Wei was angry with Xiao Mingrui for a long time.

Fortunately, if it is detected early, it will not cause any harm.

Originally Xiao Mingrui concocted alchemy because of Murong Wei, so naturally he would not continue to seek immortality.

Last year's earthquake was rescued and reconstructed, and now it seems to be quite large-scale, and the victims have all returned to their hometowns to rebuild their homes. Xiao Mingrui went south this time, in fact, he wanted to see how the situation was going.

Although he keeps saying that he is no longer the emperor and doesn't care about state affairs, but after being the emperor for so many years, he still cares subconsciously about local civil affairs, which cannot be changed.

So he got up early the next day and set off from Tongzhou. Instead of taking a boat, he chose the land route. He walked slowly, stopping and going. When he went to some areas with severe earthquakes, he had to go around the city to see the situation. If they see that the local officials are perfunctory, they will put on a straight face, and then let Lu Fei write a secret booklet and pass it to the capital through the post station.

After arriving in Anhui, there was no place affected by the earthquake, so Xiao Mingrui looked good.

This made Qian Xi unable to stop complaining to Murong Wei: This is not out to play, it is clearly here for inspection.

Murong Wei naturally understood Xiao Mingrui's thoughts, and besides, she also attached great importance to these things, so she reprimanded her daughter: "Is it more important for the disaster victims or for you to play? Although your father said that he is no longer in his position, but he cares about the people. changing."

Qian Xi hurriedly said: "Daughter doesn't mean that. Of course I also sympathize with those victims. It's the father who always keeps a straight face, and then catches people and reprimands them. They are so scared to death."

"Then who asked you to come?" Murong Wei said angrily, "This is near to Huangshan Mountain, didn't you always say to go?"

"Okay, okay, I don't want to see my father's face again!"

Qianxi immediately agreed.

Murong Wei glared at her, "Go away, your father and I will be happier if you don't come with us."

Of course Qian Xi would not back down just because of this, she immediately stated that she was determined to follow Murong Wei and Xiao Mingrui to fulfill their filial piety.

Murong Wei didn't bother to talk to her, since she entered Anhui territory, should she go to Huangshan anyway?

Having been there in her previous life, Murong Wei left a very good impression of everything there, and since then, she has seen some of the beautiful ancient folk houses in southern Anhui. The beautiful scenery here is not comparable to that of later generations.

Entering the territory of Anhui, this place can be regarded as a land of fish and rice. After passing Wuhu, and going south to the ancient Huizhou area, this place has beautiful mountains and rivers, black tiles and white walls, like an ink landscape painting, which is really unique.

This family has nothing to do, but they also have the heart to enjoy the scenery, especially Qianxi and Li Ji, who have never been here before. Stay and live here.

"Mother, it would be great if we lived here forever." Qianxi said enviously before leaving.

Xiao Mingrui glanced at her, and said calmly: "Some life is not something you can get used to."

Without the identity of a princess, she lives here like a commoner, but the common people also have the helplessness of the poor.

You have to pay taxes, you have to serve corvee, and you have to run around for a living.

Who can have no worries?

Qianxi thinks this place is good, it's only because she is a princess!

Qianxi was a little confused, but Murong Wei understood Xiao Mingrui's meaning and nodded, "Everyone has their own life, if you really want to live here for the rest of your life without being able to see your family, would you be willing?"

Qianxi struggled for a long time, then sighed, "That's really not going to work."

Looking for a place to hide?

In fact, this is not a dream of many people.

A place like Peach Blossom Spring is really a dream.

Xiao Mingrui actually thought about living in seclusion. The capital city is actually not a very suitable place to live. It is too hot in summer and too cold in winter.

He actually discussed with Murong Wei about finding a place to live.

"Hangzhou? There is heaven above and Suzhou and Hangzhou below..."

Murong Wei thought of this all of a sudden.

As for what Yunnan, Dali?

Forget it, it's still a barren land, and the local chieftain manages the natives, so it's not suitable for living.

"Well, it's not bad. If you live by the West Lake, it's quite elegant."

Xiao Mingrui thought about the situation for a while. After this trip, although he still can't change the habit of taking the world as his own responsibility, after all, the uncomfortable feeling of just resigning has gradually faded away, so the feeling of being carefree seems to be very good.

Not to mention everything, since we have arrived at the foot of Huangshan Mountain, we can't help but climb the mountain.

There are only some woodcutters living on the mountain, but there are also some temples and Taoist temples. Murong Wei wanted to watch the sunrise on the top of the mountain, so she thought about getting people to prepare, lest there would be no place to live on the mountain.

Xiao Mingrui was not worried, he ordered someone to finish it, and after a while, someone found a local guide. Usually, there are some literati and refined scholars who come to Huangshan Mountain to view the scenery. Simple stone path.

The family was not in a hurry, and went up the mountain with the guards to explore the road first. After making arrangements, they started climbing the mountain the next morning, stopping from time to time to enjoy the scenery along the way.

Huangshan has a higher altitude, and I wore a coir raincoat and rain gear when I went up the mountain. It really started to rain halfway through. In the rain, the top of the mountain was shrouded in clouds and mist, and it felt like a fairyland in the middle of the mountain.

"Looking horizontally, it looks like mountains and peaks. The distance and height are different. I don't know the true face of Lushan Mountain, but I just live in this mountain." Xiao Mingrui suddenly recited a poem. Beside him, Qianxi was wearing a coir raincoat and was being supported by Li Ji to climb up the mountain. , Now the rain is in a hurry, and the whole family hastily hid under a huge rock.
