Chapter 361
Ji Fushou didn't know anything about the discussion between Chi Qiguang and Mr. Yingying, and Chi Qiguang didn't tell her, anyway, that day hasn't come yet.

On the day of the Lantern Festival, even the Duke of England took Cui out to watch the fun, while Chi Jiashi made an appointment with two friends, Ji Sibo and Huaiying, leaving only Chi Qiguang and Ji Fushou as the masters of the Duke's Palace.

Chi Qiguang sat on the porch with Ji Fushou in his arms, Ji Fushou held the heater in his hand, his big palm wrapped around Ji Fushou's hand, resting his head on Ji Fushou's head, he said apologetically, " Ma'am, I can't go out with you to watch the Lantern Festival this year."

He wanted to 'rest' in the mansion, and it was cold, so naturally he couldn't go out, so Ji Fushou stayed in the mansion to accompany him.

Ji Fushou nestled comfortably in his arms, with a lazy tone, but his eyes were fixed on the lanterns hanging everywhere in the yard, "If you can't go out, you can't go out, the lanterns in this yard are much more beautiful than those outside, I like you Handmade lanterns."

In order to make up for Ji Fushou's regret that he couldn't go out to see the lanterns, Chi Qiguang made more than a dozen lanterns with his own hands. When the sky was getting dark, people hung them all over the yard.

Chi Qiguang gathered the crane cloak on her body, with a doting smile on the corner of his mouth, "Then I will make lanterns for you every year from now on, and we will build a special warehouse to store these lanterns in the future."

Ji Fushou replied softly, "Okay." He sat up from his arms again, took his hand and stood up, "You made a lantern with your own hands and gave it to me, and I made something for you with my own hands, follow me."

Chi Qiguang stood up following her strength, and followed her to the west wing. When he saw those two things, he smiled, "Is it the Kongming Lantern?"

Ji Fushou smiled lightly, "Well, it's a Kongming lantern, you and I each have one, come on, let's write our prayers on it."

Chi Qiguang walked to the table, where the red paper and pen and ink had been prepared. Chi Qiguang picked up the pen and dipped it in ink, and wrote on the red paper without thinking: I wish to grow old together with my wife, fly together.

There was tenderness in Ji Fushou's eyes, and after Chi Qiguang retreated, she also took up a pen and wrote: I wish to know my husband and live forever.

When she finished writing, the two looked at each other and smiled.

Tie the red paper to the Kongming lanterns, and the two of them went out with Kongming lanterns, stood in the middle of the yard, and carefully lit the Kongming lanterns with a candle.

Soon, the two Kongming lanterns flew up together, Chi Qiguang hugged Ji Fushou, and the two looked up at Gao Fei's Kongming lanterns, silently and tenderly embracing each other.

After the Lantern Festival, the imperial court also opened the pen. The eldest prince Li Yang also lifted the confinement because he participated in the royal annual banquet, but his mental state was a little bad. Looking at the empress who knew the inside story, he felt distressed. The eldest prince and concubine Du Qingshu My heart is cold.

And Su, who was sent by Ji Fushou to follow the third prince into the prairie, hurried back.

"My lord, my subordinates followed the third prince's confidants, saw them enter the prairie along the way, and finally saw the Khan of Xiliang."

Su Chen replied, "My subordinates secretly overheard their discussion. The third prince wants to make a deal with Khan of Xiliang. Xiliang will help him take the position. He will cede ten cities and give 20 shi of grain, 20 shi of refined salt, [-] catties of tea and Xiliang Khan will be given away for [-] consecutive years."

Both Ji Fushou and Chi Qiguang frowned, and Ji Fushou snorted coldly, "Leading wolves into the house and killing yourself."

Chi Qiguang asked, "Which ten cities are the ten cities that the third prince wants to cede?"

Su tightly clenched his fists, his face angrily said, "Ten cities outside Yanmen Pass."

Chi Qiguang squinted his eyes, "In this way, wouldn't it mean that the entire northern border is ceded to Xiliang?"

Ji Fushou sneered, "At least I'm not stupid enough to cede Yanmen Pass."

"If he really follows the deal he made with Xiliang, and he cedes the northern border to Xiliang, and sends him food, salt, and tea, Xiliang will grow so strong that he can annex Daqi in one fell swoop within ten years." Chi Qiguang said in a deep voice.

Ji Fushou looked down on the third prince Li Chong very much, "He broke the pot, and he knew that his life span was shared with Emperor Qi Cheng, and only ten or twenty years of his life was left, so he was reckless when he did things. .”

Chi Qiguang guessed the thoughts of the third prince's move, and said lightly, "I don't care about the flood after his death. Obviously his own father harmed him, but he didn't dare to have any bad thoughts towards Emperor Cheng, for fear that Emperor Qi Cheng would die. Will implicate myself.

But he didn't do anything, and he was very aggrieved. Since Emperor Qi Cheng valued Da Qi's country so much, he would use Da Qi's country in exchange for sitting on the dragon chair. I guess he would imprison Qi Cheng Emperor at that time. It's delicious He kept him drinking and tried his best to prolong Qi Chengdi's life, so as not to let Qi Chengdi be in any danger. "

As for the third prince sitting on the dragon chair, he can also regret not sending food, salt, tea, etc. to Xiliang, but at that time, it may be easier to ask the gods than to give them away.

Ji Fushou looked at Su and asked, "Then have they discussed when to send troops out of Xiliang?"

Su shook his head, "No, this time only the third prince and Xiliang negotiated a deal first, and the two sides also negotiated a second alliance, which will sign an agreement. At the same time, Xiliang took the lead and let the third prince first Give them one hundred thousand shi of grain and [-] shi of coarse salt, let them see the sincerity of the third prince, and they will send troops when the third prince needs it."

Ji Fushou raised his eyebrows, "[-] shi of grain, [-] shi of coarse salt? This is not a small sum. Then when is the second meeting they agreed upon?"

Su replied, "The third prince should have confessed to his confidant before leaving, and the confidant and Xiliang agreed that it only takes two months to raise money for them, and when they are ready, they will be smuggled to them. "

Ji Fushou looked at Chi Qiguang, "Now it seems that the generals guarding the northern border are from the Three Princes faction."

If the third prince wants to smuggle grain and coarse salt to the people of Xiliang, he must cooperate with the generals of Northern Xinjiang.

Chi Qiguang let out a 'tsk', and was a little surprised, "When it was revealed that Feng Hao killed the people and pretended to be a military leader, Emperor Qi Cheng deliberately selected a loyal and honest person to guard the northern border, just because he was afraid that someone would be as bold as Feng Hao , I didn’t expect that the general was secretly a member of the Third Prince’s faction.”

If there hadn't been a deal between the third prince and Xiliang, Chi Qiguang would not have known that the generals in northern Xinjiang were members of the third prince's faction.

After thinking about it, Ji Fushou understood, "No wonder the third prince didn't feel too reluctant when he abandoned Feng Hao. It turns out that they had already made up their minds."

Ji Fushou pondered for a moment, and then said, "Two months. All in all, we can't let Xiliang get this batch of food. It seems that we still have to find something for the third prince to do."
