Proud Prince With His Substitute Wife

The days became so windless and wave free that I spent some time peacefully.

What is really a great event is that the emperor issued an imperial edict to Qi Fu to summon Qi Xie.

Now that the Empress Dowager is in power, the little emperor can only be regarded as a puppet. When Qi Xie got the will, he couldn't help thinking deeply. Did the emperor give it himself? Or Did the Empress Dowager borrow the hand of the little emperor to summon herself?

If it's the first one, it's better to say. But if it's the second, it's the real trouble. Although I was born again, I didn't go to the capital at this time in my last life You can't show that you are not sincere to the empress dowager, and you can't flatter her too much. In this way, you will lose the chance

Qi Xie had a headache for these things. He put on his court clothes and cleaned them up. Then he set out to take a sedan chair to the side door of the palace. Respectfully, he got out of the car. The eunuch hurried forward and said, "I've been waiting for Lord Qi for a long time, and I'd like you to come even though you are small. "

Qi Xie motioned Huo Ran to give the young eunuch a bag full of gold leaves. The young eunuch bumped secretly and said with a smile again:" thank you for your reward The Empress Dowager has been waiting in the hall for a long time

Qi Xie knelt respectfully to the solemn palace buildings, knocked three times, and said: "I'm grateful for your kindness..." Then he followed the eunuch into the palace.

All the way, the little eunuch vividly explained to Qi Xie where this was in the palace. Qi Xie pretended not to care. He only lowered his head slightly in awe and did not dare to look up at the buildings on both sides

The little eunuch took Qi Xie to Shoukang palace, saluted a big eunuch who was waiting outside the palace, and replied, "I'm leaving."

Qi Xie looked at some old eunuchs and thought that they might be from the Empress Dowager's palace. He politely laughed at the eunuch and said, "please come and receive me."

The old face of the eunuch had a proper smile, and the wrinkles on his face were all gathered together, showing a trace of kindness and charity. However, a snake that bites people will not bark. A person who has been trusted by the Empress Dowager for many years must also be a "poisonous snake".

"I don't dare to. Lord Qi, please come with me..."

Lead Qi Xie to the outside of the main hall, and report to the inside in a shrill voice: "Qi Xie, Lord Qi, is here --"

Qi Xie looks down at the ground respectfully, walks to the center, kowtows to the Empress Dowager who sits on the top, and says: "Qi Xie, the former Taizhou prefect, please greet the Empress Dowager May the Empress Dowager live a thousand years in peace and health... "

A voice came from the top of his head and said: "flat body, please sit for Lord Qi..."

The palace maids did not know where to move a chair and put it slightly to the right. Qi Xie knelt down to the Empress Dowager three times again. Shane got up and half sat on the chair. But the eyes are still staring at the underground.

The Empress Dowager's laughter came from above and said, "Qi Aiqing, if you are really polite, good, not arrogant and not impatient, you really deserve to be the descendant of Qi government."

After listening to the words, Qi Xie just wanted to stand up and salute, but the Empress Dowager raised her hand to stop her. She nodded slightly and said, "I have been taught by my grandmother and father since childhood. I know that I am given everything by the Empress Dowager and her majesty, so I feel more grateful. Chen's father was demoted to Taizhou because he was not on duty. Now it's the Empress Dowager's kindness that brings him back to the capital. Chen has always been very grateful for the emperor's kindness, so he doesn't dare to overstep the rules... "

Listening to the humble words, the Empress Dowager showed a satisfied smile and kindly said: "speaking of your grandmother, when I was a young girl, we always played together. We didn't want to see each other for many years, and we missed it very much..."

Qi Xie also seemed to hear a surprise and said, "when my grandmother talked with me, she often mentioned the Empress Dowager. Listening to the story at that time, I yearned for it."

The Empress Dowager took care of the Buddhist beads string in her hand and asked, "I heard that your family came back from Jiangnan this time. I haven't been out of the palace for a long time. What do you think of Jiangnan today? It's also a good way to get rid of the sad family's heart.... "

Qi Xie breathed out a breath secretly, and finally asked for the right thing. With a happy face, he said, "since the Empress Dowager and the Emperor didn't ask for the time limit for returning to Beijing, I decided to take my grandmother and wife to Jiangnan to have a look. My grandmother is getting older, and my wife hasn't seen them since she is young, so I thought I might as well take this opportunity to do my filial duty. The geomantic omen in the south of the Yangtze River is very suitable, and all the ministers have the heart of not thinking about Shu. Chen's wife likes female workers, so whenever she goes to a place, Chen accompanies her to the cloth store. It's all her thoughts. "

Qi Xie said, showing a trace of satisfaction.

The Empress Dowager narrowed her eyes and observed Qi Xie. She rubbed her fingers with satisfaction and said, "it's rare for you to have this filial piety. Now that you have been transferred back, the AI family has discussed with the emperor and appointed you as the Minister of the Ministry of officials. What do you think? "

Qi Xie seemed to be frightened. He quickly got up and knelt down, and said, "I feel grateful for the emperor's kindness. I was born to be filial to the imperial court because I was not knowledgeable. All of them were arranged by the Empress Dowager. I will do my best to be on duty and repay the Empress Dowager for her support. "The Empress Dowager raised her hand, motioned to the eunuch to help Qi Xie up, and said, "well, get up. After the rest day, it's time to follow the court. Take advantage of nothing these days, go back to accompany your wife and grandmother. Step back... "

Qi Xie gave thanks again according to the etiquette and retreated.

Along the way back out of the palace, see their own carriage, the heart of a breath just secretly put down. Although the minister is already in the top three ranks, he is already in a very high position, but this step of the Empress Dowager may not mean that it is tempting. If you obey the Empress Dowager's wishes, the position of the servant may be higher. If it is on the contrary, waiting for fear is no longer as simple as being demoted The whole family was beheaded After all, you should be charged with whatever the royal family wants.

Here Qi Xie just went out of the palace, the Empress Dowager summoned the eunuch and asked, "how about it?"

The eunuch stood respectfully on one side and replied, "the habits of Lord Qi are not different from those of Taizhou. Maybe lady Qi and his wife like to eat. Lord Qi took his wife out for dinner when he took a bath. It shows that he is very fond of his wife. People in Taizhou also say that Su RI and his wife are very approachable, and they have never treated people badly. It's a long way to go to the temple to burn incense and worship Buddha. When I first arrived at the palace gate just now, I knelt down and kowtowed three times. The whole process was respectful and respectful. In a word, some of the things that are out of line are Mr. Qi seems to like Jiyun building very much. Since he returned to the capital, he and his wife have been to Jiyun building many times... "

Hearing this, the Empress Dowager couldn't help but hook the corner of her mouth and said, "don't mention him. AI family also likes it. It's about the first time that she knows the delicacy of the copper pot. There's no doubt about it. Looking at Qi Xie, the mourning family has inherited the primordial solemnity of their ancestors. It's so good. It's easy for people who have no idea to mourn. "

The eunuch blessed himself respectfully and said, "the Empress Dowager is wise. Do you still need to send someone to keep an eye on Mr. Qi? "

The Empress Dowager closed her eyes, motioned the eunuch to step down for a while, and said, "no, you've sent someone to follow you for so long, haven't you found anything? If someone else is such a person, you will find out the same result for another ten years; if you deliberately hide yourself, you can't find out if you want to. There's no need to waste that useless effort... "

Qi Xie returned home, first had dinner with the old lady and Qi LAN, then said hello and went to the study alone.

It is not known whether the Empress Dowager has put herself into a wolf's den, but it is undeniable that so far, the Empress Dowager is still very confident about herself.

Although the position of minister is not a Book of nobility, it also has certain means of power. The Ministry of officials is a department for the management of civil servants. The promotion of officials has always been through this department, so it has been a place with a lot of "oil and water" since ancient times. Being able to be placed here is also equivalent to telling others that you are already a queen mother.

But do you want to be loyal to the Empress Dowager or the court? Loyal to the court, that is to say, only the court itself does not stand in line Everything is no longer as simple as revenge after Qi Xie's rebirth. When everything is pushing you away, you have no choice but to do your best to save yourself and survive in the whirlpool of power

Thinking late into the night, back to the house to see the light is still on, Qi LAN is reading the joke, deep in it, even don't know he came back. Mouth with the plot of a small crack, two lovely little tiger teeth quietly exposed from time to time, set off a little girl's delicate state.

Make bad to come forward, will Qi LAN in the hands of the book out, provoked Qi LAN a burst of exclamation.

Looking at Qi Xie with surprise, he put his hands around Qi Xie's neck and said: "you're back!"

He lowered his head to kiss Qi Lan's itchy eyes and said, "I'll go wash and wait for me for a while, eh?"

When Qi Xie came back from the bath, Qi LAN had already got into the quilt and only showed a cerebellar pouch. He looked at Qi Xie and cried out, "brother ~"

Qi Xie left a candle and didn't cut it off. He put it around the fragrant Qi LAN and coaxed her into saying, "we've been married for such a long time, and still call me brother, eh? What should I be called? "

After all, Qi Lan was a little shy and said, "but I've been calling you brother for so many years. I I can't change it... "

A turn over will Qi LAN pressure in the body, with bass foul said: "good, call Xianggong..."

However, poor little Qi Lan was so coaxed to call "Xianggong" all night. The consequence of extreme things is that Qi Xie would not call "Xianggong" any more
