Qingchuan History

Chapter 689 Feast
Gu Xinglang's craftsmanship is not bad.

Ruan Xueyin suspected that he had practiced before, and made snacks for the girl in his dreams when he was a child. What would Ji Wanling like to eat?She didn't finish her question, the other party's face was already black, and she said that she had clearly made a fool of herself in Pengxi Mountain in the past, and she really wouldn't, but today she just drew a gourd with reference to the way the two of them cooked noodles that night, and also had the imperial chef's advice—— Obviously the last item is more critical, Ruan Xueyin picked up the silver noodles and laughed.

"But he didn't do anything at all," Gu Xinglang said sternly referring to himself as the imperial cook, "I even chose the small vegetables."

Diyan just came in, and hurriedly swore that your majesty had never cooked before, and only cooked today's bowl of longevity noodles for his wife when he was 22 years old.

"I'll cook it from now on." Gu Xinglang added, and said to Ruan Xueyin seriously, "I'll learn a decent one next year and change it every year, okay?"

Just as Ruan Xueyin bit off a section, she nodded, and stretched out her other hand that wasn't holding the chopsticks to pinch his face, smiling.

Di Yan knew it was time to retreat, but she still stood with her hands clasped before she had anything to say.Gu Xinglang gave him two winks, but he didn't intend to leave, "Is there anything else?"

"Return to Your Majesty." Di Yan bowed his head respectfully, "Madam's birthday is very happy, and the little prince's birthday is about to be very happy, my minister—"

"I want to take advantage of this double happiness to ask for a grace to marry you and Tangli as soon as possible. I see, the date is set to be on the ninth day of February next year. It is an auspicious day for the zodiac according to Taishi's calculation. Madam also agreed after seeing the obsidian curtain. I have been too busy to forget recently. to tell you."

Di Yan was shocked for a moment, overwhelmed with joy and emotion, with all kinds of tastes, and after a long while, he just knelt down and thanked him.Gu Xinglang frowned to stop him from kowtow, "I've been following me for almost 20 years and I haven't kowtowed indiscriminately, so I'm grateful to Dai Decheng for marrying a beautiful wife. Okay, it's my wife's birthday, so I'll take care of my errands first; your house in the west of the city is brand new. , but also pay attention to, after all, if you want to welcome the bride, you have to clean it up. When you go back to the Guangchu Siku, you and Tangli can pick out some favorites, and the right will be a congratulatory gift from my wife and I."

The four warehouses of Guangchu include the fourth warehouse.Ruan Xueyin glanced at Gu Xinglang.

It is impossible to really go to the fourth warehouse to pick things with the scale of polyester and inkstone.

What matters is Tangli's size.

In the afternoon, Gu Xinglang went to the study to deal with political affairs, and let Ruan Xueyin go back to the bedroom to rest.Last night she had slept in a stately way, if she didn't fear that dragon couch before, she still felt that it would be better to go back to the Folding Snow Palace, but he said:
"I told Yun Xi to pack some of your things and come here. From now on, you can sleep wherever you want."

Ruan Xueyin was dumbfounded.Gu Xinglang patted her on the head, "When the lamp is lit, the lamp is lit. The people like it, and the palace people are happy."

Autumn and winter nights come early, and when Mrs. Pei's birthday banquet begins, the daylight has already dimmed.Candles lit up the main hall brightly, singing and dancing uplifted the peace, toasted and staggered, and raised cups to wish Madam Qian'an and His Royal Highness the health, just like the previous situation.

The lady of the Bai Kingdom made a special trip to congratulate Mrs. Pei on her birthday, and she has a lot of handwriting.Huge boxes with extremely unique and distinct carvings were brought in one by one. Coral trees inlaid with emeralds, agate stones embedded with flowers and birds, everything was novel and beautiful. Pass.

The lady said her congratulations in a clear voice, and Ruan Xueyin sat beside Gu Xinglang, listening with a smile.

Thousands of miles away from the border of Baiguo, the rebels marched northward in seven routes from the west, southwest, and southeast, and were ambushed and flanked by the forbidden army at critical points [-] miles, [-] miles, and [-] miles around Yunshui City.Short soldiers meet, the flames of war ignite, three fireworks soaring into the sky are sent out from the southern border of Qi, the fireworks are seen by the sentinels of various cities and counties all the way to the north, and they burn the flames to report one after another, and the news is delivered to Qi Palace. Xi Run has just finished his congratulatory speech.

She looked at Di Yan with deep eyes and calmly walked towards Gu Xinglang, leaned over and said something.

Gu Xinglang was also complacent, so he immediately looked at her and thanked her daughter-in-law Qianli for congratulating her.

It seemed that what Diyan reported had nothing to do with her or Bai Guo.

There is still one in the gift box of the mission that has not been opened.Duan Xirun turned around to signal, and the accompanying Bai Guo soldiers presented the box, it looked big, but it could be lifted by one person, which shows that the treasure is not heavy.

Duan Xirun went down the stairs to open the box in person, staring at the lights of Qi Gong with colorful and dim green gold blinking with flying bird eyes.She took out the kite with the huge phoenix body in both hands. Immediately, Man Yi and two other members of the White House stepped forward to assist in sorting out nearly a hundred birds with the same light gauze and color.

With the phoenix in hand, the birds spread out like a queen's skirt.Duan Xirun's state banquet was already grand, and it was a coincidence that a hundred birds turned towards the phoenix kite.

"I was a princess in the past, and I was called my wife when I entered Qi Palace, so I brought this zither and let it fly by the Hulan Lake." Both countries avoided talking about this past, but Duan Xirun eloquently, very peacefully, "Last year, the country changed, and Yunshui There is danger, and it is this zither that appeared at the right time to assist the late emperor's edict and help this emperor ascend the throne calmly."

This episode is very legendary, and the Qingchuan kingdoms have talked about it up to now—whether it is a competition for court singing, whether the sudden drop of the kite is really an oracle or Qi Jun’s instruction—if Duan Xirun is supported by Qi Wei and Qi Wei, then the current position of Bai Guo Why, how did the situation of the Three Kingdoms stand apart?

However, in the past year of the Bai Kingdom, there has always been a risk of shaking the country because of the female monarch's reign, but the female monarch went to Qi Guo to celebrate her birthday at a time when public opinion was not peaceful-everyone guessed there was an inside story, and everyone was waiting to see the show.

Duan Xirun didn't go into details, and changed the topic: "This zither is of great significance to Qi Bai, so I took the opportunity of Mrs. Pei's birthday to congratulate His Royal Highness on her upcoming birthday and gave it to his wife. A famous zither with a beautiful woman is a good story to pass down. .”

Miscellaneous people are ignorant of the past, the future situation, and the code words—the four characters with extraordinary meaning, perhaps referring to Qi Jun's support last year?

But Ruan Xueyin and Gu Xinglang understood the so-called meaning, and fell in those green golds.And the sixteen-character posthumous admonition of Zhao Huaizong that Duan Xirun could give casually.

She could of course give others, things she doesn't know about and would be of great help to them if they were spoken out.This is in exchange for her daughter-in-law's life security in exchange for the promise to go hand in hand with the ancestors.

This is a deal worth considering.

Gu Xinglang did not expect Duan Xirun to have ambitions for the king.

Qi Nan's troops are still waiting for his order.

The civil strife came as scheduled, the clan of the Bai Kingdom was fighting with the queen mother and princess, anyway, it had already started, if the Qi army moved at this moment, it would be possible to take advantage of the chaos to annex them.He looked at Duan Xirun every few steps.

Only three or two steps, he sits and she stands, actually looking at her head-up.

Last night Jing Tingge asked her which face she used when facing Gu Xinglang.She carefully recalled every sentence of the two people's conversation on the arch bridge, standing on the steps, she still looked like a woman, and she didn't lose at all when viewed from behind.

But she faced Qi Jun and smiled.The dimple of the pear is concave, bright in the past, the little girl who waters and prunes the roses day and night in the dew hall.

Gu Xinglang clearly knew why she was smiling like this at this moment, and he felt ashamed of her, and the conditions of the covenant with the ancestors were really acceptable.

He made a decision at this moment.

Ruan Xueyin clearly saw Duan Xirun's face reflected by the kite, and she was also familiar with those two dimples.Debts always have to be paid.

Jing Tingge sat below, with Ji Huan on the right and Ji Qi on the left.They were all staring at the gift from the queen, there was no sound in the room, only she held up her chopsticks to eat vegetables, and the lotus root was chewing crisply.

Gu Chunfeng sat opposite, frowning and staring over.Ji Qi glanced at it from the corner of his eye all night and finally waited until he hid his hand on the table and only showed his upper half of his five fingers to make a move.

Chunfeng didn't see it, so he didn't respond. After staring at Jing Tingge, he turned his head and continued to stare at the end of this long gift.There was a noise outside the hall at this moment, as if someone was breaking in, pushing and shoving, Gu Xinglang looked at it with his inkstone, and came back after a while to report that it was a member of the Bai Kingdom Mission.

"Your Majesty! Domestic urgent report!" He heard the shouts from outside the hall, "King Rong, King Zhuang, and Duke Hua Lianzong personally divided the troops to encircle Yunshui! The Empress Dowager is in danger! Your Majesty, please decide!"

The instability of the Bai Dynasty is something that the people of Qi can count on.It was still shocking to hear such news actually spread to the hall, but Duan Xirun was very calm.

She glanced at Gu Xinglang, said she was impolite, and went straight out of the palace gate and stood on the steps to listen to the report from the Bai soldiers who were stopped by the palace guards.

The battle started very quickly, and it was obvious that both sides were prepared.The rebels were divided into seven groups and rushed to Yunshui at the same time. They lay down by day and night, and suddenly appeared when they were only a few hundred miles away from the capital.However, he was flanked by ambush soldiers, all of whom were forbidden troops, and fought in three main battlefields. As of the time of news, the gate of Yunshui City was closed, the city defense was on alert, and the rest of the camp was waiting to come out.

According to her arrangement before departure, if there is a rebellion in the country, this will be the situation; although the number of opponents in the report is equal to that of the imperial army, the combat power is difficult to match, and it is not impossible to guard against death.

What should be guarded against is changes in the city.Her sisters were not entirely reassuring.

In the palace, the king stood up suddenly, and bowed in front of the imperial court, "Your Majesty came from afar to congratulate Mrs. Pei on her birthday, but the Duan family members are rebellious and steal the country. As a friendly state, I invite you, Your Majesty, to mobilize Qi Nan soldiers and horses to help the queen!" "

At the banquet today, there were the royal relatives, Ji, Chai, Shangguan and other prominent families in Jidu, as well as some famous family heads who retired without guilt and did not move on the Tianlong Festival.

From this statement, all the guests who heard or didn't hear the overtones felt reasonable, and for a while, some courtiers and aristocratic families stood up one after another to echo.Duan Xirun heard it, turned around abruptly, and looked at Gu Xinglang's face on the Dragon Throne through the gorgeous beams and pillars.

The king's proposal is not helpful.

Judging from Ruan Xueyin's first year in the Qi Palace Tianchang Festival, these Qi ministers, no matter how they behave or how they behave, even if they obey Gu Xinglang's words like a king, they always agree on one point - Gu Qi ruled Qingchuan, and he did not hesitate to resort to any means. Do not avoid war.When it comes to fighting for hegemony, fighting is the right thing to do.

It's a rare event in a thousand years that a female monarch is in turmoil in Qierbai.

Duan Xirun turned around and walked into the hall step by step.

Everyone suddenly reacted at this moment. It is impossible for the monarch to go to another country with only a small number of personal soldiers. In the 300 years of Qingchuan, such a thing has never happened. It is too shocking for any reason.

Duan Xirun's arrival didn't shock Qi Ren immediately, but because she is a woman and was once the wife of Qi Guo.

But he is the king after all.Just standing on the palace of another country, listening to the civil war in the country, and the frontier army of the other country can immediately gather at least [-] people to go south to reap the benefits of fishermen.

She naturally thought of the consequences and stayed back, otherwise she wouldn't have been so calm.

It is more likely that their lord - Gu Xinglang is also involved in this plan. The question is, what is the plot, whether to help or destroy.

Duan Xirun walked back, Gu Xinglang looked at her. "After all, Bai's internal affairs. Whether the queen needs help or not is up to the queen."

Duan Xirun stood in the center of the hall, seemingly lost in thought, turned around for a while, but sang to Jingting: "I want to hear Mr. Suggestion."

Jing Tingge's mouth was full of big meat and he was eating delicious meat. Unexpectedly, he swallowed it hastily and drank tea, Fang wiped his mouth and said: "The grassroots are terrified, and they really dare not take His Majesty's opinion on military affairs."

"Mr. has always taken the monarch's ideas on military and state affairs. Over the years, he has taken many good ideas. The court is full of Qichen," she looked around, smiling with dimples in her mouth, "I am inconvenient to ask some questions. It would be most appropriate to ask Mr.

Jing Tingge still didn't dare to do anything wrong, and turned to look at Ji Huan.

Ji Huan tried to interpret Gu Xinglang's meaning, but failed. Duan Xirun said again:

"It's rare to see Mr. Jing, please don't stop Ji Xiang."

Jing Tingge laughed very casually, "My daughter has no official title and no authority, and if I answer a few words, it's not good to disobey His Majesty's wishes. The father will approve the daughter."

Gu Xinglang also wanted to hear Jing Tingge's opinion, or he should talk about tricks, so he didn't show it.Ji Huan shut up.

"Soldiers from the Bai Kingdom reported outside the palace just now, and Ting Ge heard a little bit. The power is evenly matched, and His Majesty has the upper hand, and the score is six points, but after all, it is necessary to fight, which is a waste of money and people." She also sat casually, trying to make every word lightly, "Qi Guobing If Ma can go south at this time and use the name of Lord Qi to help the female monarch suppress the rebellion, the absolute superiority of troops is enough to make the rebels consider disarming, and the rebellion of King Rong, King Zhuang, Duke Hua, etc. is a certainty, and the whole country will see it. Her Majesty the Queen can do whatever she wants to deal with it. It's good that the Bai Kingdom court situation can be cleaned up again."

It's pretty good.It would be good for Qi Jun to enter the border of Bai Kingdom in a logical manner.King Ning waved his fan casually: "Mr. Jing has a good opinion."

Standing under the steps in the middle of the hall really seemed to be a vassal. Duan Xirun was not very comfortable, and he could hear every word. He walked back to his seat and was almost on the same level as Gu Xinglang. A little forward by an inch—it was also a little shorter by the head, and it was like that on the night of the reception of the Wind Palace Banquet, she knew it, but she didn't poke it.

"If Mr. Qi is willing to help, I should really be grateful. However," she paused, unconsciously looking at Jing Tingge again.

Jing Tingge raised his eyebrows, seeming to react, "However, borrowing troops to rescue the siege is also to lure wolves into the house. His Majesty Qi Jun's people have stationed in Yunshui, and they feel that the mountains and rivers are more beautiful here, and they don't want to leave. What should we do?"

It was clearly a very serious sentence, and when she said it as a joke, everyone could only grit their teeth and laugh along.

Duan Xirun also smiled, and said to Gu Xinglang, "I have absolutely no worries about this."

"Mr. Jing likes joking." Gu Xinglang replied, calmly glanced at Ruan Xueyin beside him, then looked at Jing Tingge, that glance was particularly sharp.

Did it mean to warn myself that Ruan Xueyin was about to give birth and the troublemaker would die?Jing Tingge realized a little bit that he didn't want to cause trouble, so he just continued to downplay the appearance of an outsider, saying: "Qi Bai has been friends for a hundred years, and they should trust each other. However, His Majesty Bai Jun is in the Qi Palace, so it is not at ease at all, and now he wants to invite Qi Bai. It is normal for the army to enter the country to help quell the chaos, no matter how trusting it is, it will be apprehensive in the end. Your Majesty, you can give His Majesty Bai Jun a reassurance, a peace agreement or something, won't you feel at ease?"

Sending troops is for the purpose of attacking, and if you really want to help, you have to make an agreement. How can there be such a selfless good thing?From the beginning to the end, several imperial officials in Menerqing sneered, and King Ning said again: "This is Bai's internal affairs, and Qi Guo's stretching out his hand is actually against the norms of diplomatic relations. Just now, the embrace of the king is also bloody, and the female monarch is hesitant. Your Majesty Qi doesn't care."
