Who says sleep is not spiritual practice?

"How can my Jiang Qiushui's son be an idiot?"

"Not to mention anything else, I think your brothel is well managed!"

Jiang Qingyu smiled awkwardly:

"Father, what you said doesn't sound like you're praising me."

How can I praise my son for running a good brothel?

Besides, that brothel is managed by the servant girl Jing Zhe, and she is just a hands-off shopkeeper, and she doesn't even know which oiran will leave the court every month.

Not to mention every oiran's figure, beauty, warmth and touch!

Don't get me wrong.

I don't open a brothel for fun!

King Rejecting Bei patted Jiang Qingyu's hand lightly, and said with emotion:

"Since you were young, you have only asked your father twice. The first time was when your mother and elder brother left, you asked your father to keep them, at least the family had a New Year's reunion dinner."

"I'm sorry, my father didn't do it."

"Then next month, you begged your father for the second time."

"You have to help your father open a brothel in Wangcheng, and promise not to tell anyone that this brothel is related to you."

"I promise."

"Furthermore, my father can tell you today that I kept my promise. Even your second mother and Uncle Xu didn't tell you about the general's drunkenness, and they didn't even mention it in the letters between your mother and elder brother. "

Mentioning this point, the king of rejecting the North showed a hint of arrogance on his face.

After all, General Zui is a place full of fish and dragons. In the first few years when it was established, if he hadn't been taking care of it in the dark, I'm afraid it would have been dragged out of the chain of interests behind it.

At that time, it was impossible for Jiang Qingyu to retreat completely.

At the very least, if the second wife Jiang Jing finds out about the relationship between General Zui and Jiang Qingyu, it will definitely disturb the palace.

"Father doesn't care what your purpose of opening the brothel is, and it doesn't matter whether you are hiding it or you are a real idiot, father only wants you to live a safe life."

"Let's go to the capital, kid."

"You can pick a few high-quality women who are drunk by the general. The father and the future in-laws in the capital have already negotiated. When you marry in, you can bring [-] maids with you. Two concubines."

"Your glory and wealth for the rest of your life, my father has already arranged for you."

King Rejecting Bei laughed at himself:

"I've already felt sorry for Wan'er and Qing Shu, and I can't feel sorry for you anymore."

"..."

Jiang Qingyu was speechless.

Royal father, do you really have such good conditions to marry?

Don't talk about it anymore, I'm really going to be moved!

but……

Prosperity and wealth have never been my pursuit.

"Father, do you remember this purple jade stove in my hand?"

Jiang Qingyu lightly stroked the purple jade stove in her hand a few times, and then put it in the palm of King Jubei:

"I was eight years old at the time, and my mother and elder brother have been to the capital for a year."

"At the end of the new year, I had a high fever for several days and nights, and it was only thanks to Dr. Song's wonderful hand that I recovered my life."

"Doctor Song said that my body is weak and I need good warm jade to nourish my body, otherwise similar problems will occur in the future, and I may not live past the age of 30."

Mentioning the incident that almost lost his life back then, Jiang Qingyu didn't have the slightest bit of fear on his face, instead there was a hint of a smile on his face:

"I remember that after listening to Dr. Song's diagnosis, my father put on his armor and mounted his horse without saying a word. He summoned [-] light cavalry overnight and rushed from Bingzhou to Qingzhou in a mighty way. The first Nuanyu's former jade seal."

"yes……"

Thinking of the heroic deeds of those years, the king of rejecting the North couldn't hide his smile.

I saw him using both hands and feet, and gestured:

"At that time, Jing Xuan refused to hand over the jade seal. He kept calling me a traitor and traitor from the top of the city. My father was loyal to the emperor and patriotic since childhood. He didn't want anyone to slander my innocence, so he ordered the arrow to be released."

"The [-] Qingqi are all equipped with quiver bows and crossbows as standard. After a few rounds of volleys, there will be [-] arrows hanging all over the city."

"Jing Xuan is no better than the emperor Jing Hong. He is a fool who only knows how to enjoy himself. He has never seen such a battle before. He was so frightened that he was scared to death. He ordered people to go back to the manor to fetch the jade seal to calm down the fighting."

Jiang Qingyu stretched out her hand and gave King Rejecting a thumbs up:

"Father is mighty!"

"Using the jade seals from the previous dynasty as materials, I made a hand-warming jade stove for my son. You are the only one in the world with such courage!"

The King of Rejecting Bei smiled, also quite complacent:

"Cough cough..."

"It's nothing, it's nothing, my father is a big bastard, he has been a bandit since he was a child, and what he loves most is blocking the way and robbing those rich kids!"

"Unfortunately……"

Suddenly, King Jubei changed his subject and said with a downcast expression:

"Father is old and is about to die. It is difficult to climb on the horseback, and he can no longer protect his son."

Hearing this, Jiang Qingyu couldn't help clenching her fists slightly.

There is a Nine-Turn Golden Pill in his bosom, as long as he takes it out, he can renew the life of King Rejecting the North.

But how to explain the origin of Jindan is a difficult problem.

Moreover, if Erniang and the others see the clues to this matter, it will also bring them a lot of trouble.

Just when Jiang Qingyu was considering whether to take out the golden pill, the King of Rejecting Bei said again:

"Qingyu, after I die, don't fight with your second mother."

"The Jiang family has deep roots in the northern border, and your second brother's prestige in the army is far greater than yours. You can't fight."

"and……"

"My father wrote a letter to the capital a few days ago, requesting Jing Hongnian to grant your second brother, Jiang Qingjian, the Marquis of Rejecting the North based on his past friendship."

"Jing Hong is nostalgic, and the whole northern border is afraid of me alone. Since I am about to die, if I ask for a Marquis of Rejecting the North, he will definitely make him a King of Rejecting the North."

"At that time, you will leave Bingzhou and go south to the capital to meet Wan'er and Qingshu, and meet your future daughter-in-law by the way."

"..."

Jiang Qingyu clenched her fist and said:

"Is the father explaining the funeral? Why is this!"

"I just heard from Dr. Song that the Nine-Turn Golden Pill can extend your life. A golden pill costs a lot of money. Let's buy it. If we can't buy it, we will lead our soldiers to grab it! You went to Qingzhou to grab the top prize when I was eight years old. Just like Yuxi!"

"I don't believe it, the world is so big, and we have 15 elite soldiers in the Beibei Palace, but we still can't grab a single golden elixir!"

The voice just fell.

I only heard a strange and feminine voice coming from outside the door:

"What the fourth son said is wrong. The prince needs golden pills, so why use 15 elite soldiers?"

"It is enough to write a letter and inform His Majesty."

squeak-

One person pushed the door and entered.

Jiang Qingyu looked back, but saw that the person who came was an old eunuch with delicate features and brocade clothes and official boots, who was dressed like Xu Xiaosi who died in the barren forest.

The official boots were stained with a lot of mud, obviously they had traveled for a long time, and they came in such a hurry that there was no time to change the boots before entering the mansion.

"Cough cough."

The man cleared his throat and said loudly:

"Refused to receive the order from Northern King Jiang Qiushui—"

Chapter 41 王爷老规矩

King Jubei was lying on the couch, seeing the old eunuch struggling, he hurriedly got up and knelt down.

"Qingyu, cough...quick, give father a hand."

"okay."

Jiang Qingyu responded and put her hands on King Jubei's back and shoulders.

however……

When helping and rejecting Bei Wang to get up, he felt a burst of obvious resistance coming from the other party's body.

No matter how hard he tried, that withered body remained motionless.

So he understood:

King Rejecting Bei didn't even want to get up, let alone kneel down.

The old eunuch had seen a lot of people, and he knew how to read people's words and expressions, so he could see through the hypocrisy of the King of the North at a glance.

He has always understood Jiang Qiushui's personality.

This bandit-born prince with a different surname has never been in awe of imperial power. Before he was crowned king, he dared to draw his sword and cut off the arm of a fourth-rank official in front of the Golden Palace. He even dared to mobilize [-] troops to attack Qingzhou City, and used [-] arrows to snatch the priceless jade seal of the former dynasty from the hands of His Majesty's younger brother Qingjiang Wang Jingxuan!

But it is such a "rebellious minister and traitor", but His Majesty is reluctant to let him die...

So far, it is enough for an extremely human minister.

The old eunuch didn't worry about the integrity of etiquette, but said generously:

"It's fine for the prince to lie down. You and the old slave are old friends, so you don't have to pay attention to etiquette."

"This old slave did not read the imperial decree word by word. The general idea is that when His Majesty learned that the prince was seriously ill, he specially ordered this old slave to send a few words of condolence and a life-extending nine-turn golden pill."

The old eunuch rolled up the imperial decree, but he didn't step forward and pass it in front of King Jubei, but directly threw it to Jiang Qingyu who was aside:

"This one is the fourth son of the prince, right?"

"It really is a dragon and a phoenix among people."

"..."

Jiang Qingyu received the imperial decree and at the same time clasped her fists in salute.

He was not surprised that the old eunuch knew him. After all, he was one of the best idiots in the entire Chu Kingdom, and his reputation was so great that even the capital thousands of miles away had his portrait circulated.

As for the identity of this old eunuch...

He also recognized it.

For more than ten years, every time the golden elixir was opened, the emperor of Chu State Jing Hong would order someone to send one to Bingzhou to heal the wounded King of the North and extend his life.

Every time it was this handsome old eunuch who came to deliver the medicine.

The second among the top ten eunuchs of Chu State, Yan Songyu.

A master at the peak of the innate third-grade Luminous Sun Realm is even more unfathomable than Xu Xiaosi who died in the barren forest.

Some people even speculated that he had already touched the threshold of the innate fourth-grade star picking realm, which is why he was ranked second only to the old eunuch in the star picking realm among the top ten eunuchs.

"Thank you, Your Majesty, for the medicine."

After hearing the words "Jiuzhuan Jindan", King Jubei's eyes shone brightly, and his skinny and yellowed face couldn't help but add a tinge of blood:

"Old minister, ahem... thank you for the decree!"

With Jiang Qingyu's support, the terminally ill old man sat up with difficulty, crossed his hands and made a fist, using his hands instead of his head, and knocked off the edge of the bed three times.

"Boom, boom, boom."

King Jubei's body was dull and stiff, even with Jiang Qingyu's help, it took him a quarter of an hour to complete this series of ritual movements.
