How to Be a Male Queen

【Postponed wedding date】

The news of the eldest prince's death spread to the palace immediately. No matter how Qin Sheng checked it, he finally had to admit that the eldest prince was really dead, together with the two princesses who were not out of the cabinet.

The repeated blows made Qin Sheng ill.

In the Hanyuan Hall, the empress personally served the emperor to take the medicine soup, and put the medicine bowl on the high-raised tray.

The unremarkable little eunuch held the tray in his arms, bowed and retreated.

No one noticed, just when he turned around, a piece of cotton yarn suddenly dropped from his sleeve, and quickly and secretly dipped the concoction at the bottom of the bowl.

Qinzhou, camp south of the city.

The leaders of the Pingxi, Mobei, and Lingnan armies gathered together rarely.

Jian Zhenxi glanced at An Gubei, and joked: "You just ran back to the capital so carelessly, aren't you afraid that that person will make things difficult for you?"

An Gubei raised his eyebrows and gave a domineering smile, "Who am I afraid of when I grow up so big?"

"Daddy." An Muxi hit the nail on the head.

An Gubei choked, and said in disgust: "You have nothing to do here, go, go and play with Boy Jian!"

An Muxi stood up neatly, saluted the three elders respectfully, and then stepped back calmly.

Looking at the young man's back, Jian Zhenxi sighed: "Musi has been very useful this time, as expected of the Seventh Prince who taught him, fortunately he didn't follow you."

An Gubei automatically ignored the second half of the sentence, immersed in the pride of his daughter-in-law being praised.

His Highness Prince Ping was not good at talking much, but now he was a real junior in front of the two of them. One of them was an old man. He had the highest status, but his aura was a little short for no reason. Even Gu Feibai couldn't help but sympathize with him.

Fortunately, Haiyan came in in time, holding the carrier pigeon from Prince Ping's Mansion.

An Gubei and Jian Zhenxi looked at each other, and were about to say goodbye and leave, His Royal Highness King Ping opened the note first, without any intention of shy away from them.

So, the two sat back with peace of mind.

After Qin Yuan finished reading, the expression on his face was not very good, "The spies in the palace reported that the poison of black fish that Qin Sheng was poisoned at the beginning was given by the empress."

Jian Zhenxi frowned, "Who got tricked again?"

His Highness King Ping nodded with a sullen face.

An Gubei sneered, "No wonder it is said to be sick, it turned out to be such a disease! Empress? Oh, as expected of Ji's daughter!"

Haiyan bowed and asked for instructions, "Do you need to inform them to take action?"

His Highness King Ping thought for a moment, then shook his head, "No, given the current situation, the Empress wants to save Qin Sheng's life more than anyone else."

An Gubei said in a rough voice: "His Royal Highness, what are you waiting for? Things have come to this point, if you want me to tell you, you just—"

Jian Zhenxi suddenly held his hand and winked.

An Gubei paused, sighed, and said no more.

Everyone in the tent fell silent for a while.

At this moment, the sound of chaotic footsteps sounded outside the tent, waking up several people from their contemplation.

His Royal Highness Ping frowned slightly.

Haiyan raised the curtain, and was about to scold, when a disgraced messenger soldier knelt down in front of the tent with a bang, and hissed, "Report to the prince, there is a plague of locusts in Chuzhou, Chuzhou!"

All the people in the tent stood up at the same time, with serious expressions on their faces.

At the same time, Chengqing Hall.

The queen sat at the head seat, flipping through the memorials on the case at will.

The eunuch who originally accompanied the emperor stood at the bottom with a respectful posture.

Looking at the other party's waist that could no longer be bent, the queen ordered slowly: "Go, call the fourth prince."

"The servant complies with the order." The eunuch bowed in response.

The queen raised her red lips and showed a meaningful smile—11 years old, really a good age.

As soon as the chief eunuch went out, the dark guard came in behind.

The middle-aged man dressed in crimson-colored clothes knelt down and replied in a low voice: "My lady, the matter you told me has been done."

The Queen's face was calm, but she was happy in her heart, "In this case, those people are temporarily under your control, so you must make good use of them."

"Subordinates obey!"

***

Nine out of ten times a long drought will be accompanied by locust plagues.

It's not that Qin Yuan was unprepared, it's just that no one thought that in late autumn, just when they relaxed their vigilance, the plague of locusts would come so suddenly.

An Gubei quickly calmed down, and looked straight at Qin Yuan with a pair of eagle eyes, "Why don't you take this opportunity to imitate the ancients?"

Jian Zhenxi looked at him inexplicably, unable to understand the meaning of his words for a moment.

His Highness King Ping frowned deeply.

An Gubei stared at him intently, and simply made his words clear, "Natural disasters happen frequently, because the ruler has not cultivated his virtue, the prince can take this great opportunity to replace him."

Jian Zhenxi was taken aback, and frowned: "You mean, let the prince publicize the emperor's immorality among the people and force him to abdicate?"

He shook his head, "In this way, the common people must follow suit, or set up altars at home to pray, or kneel down to worship the 'Locust Immortal' in the fields, and no one will fight the disaster with heart."

Qin Yuan regained his indifferent expression, and said in a deep voice: "The disaster relief is the most important thing, so there is no need to mention this matter again."

After speaking, he walked away.

Haiyan and Gu Feibai hurriedly followed.

Jian Zhenxi rolled his eyes at An Gubei, and blamed him: "Since you have already made up your mind, why try him like this?"

The other party took a sip of the wine in the glass, and said casually: "It's fun, isn't it?"

Jian Zhenxi got up and left, ignoring him.

An Gubei drank the wine in one gulp, and said with disgust when it was over: "What the hell? It's so sweet!"

He threw the wine glass away and chased after his friend, "Hey, brother Jane, wait for me, I have something to tell you!"

Jian Zhenxi knew that he would probably be fooled by him, but he couldn't help but stop and said angrily, "What's the matter? Tell me quickly."

An Gubei gave a smirk, cleared his throat, and said solemnly: "Actually, I came back this time to attend my nephew's wedding ceremony. Didn't you say that the good day is scheduled for September [-]?"

Jian Zhenxi's expression froze, with mixed emotions in his heart, and he said after a while: "The disaster relief is the most important thing, and the wedding date is postponed."

An Gubei raised his eyebrows, "Are you in charge?"

Jian Zhenxi glared, "Of course I can do it!" After speaking, he left angrily.

An Gubei shook his head, His Royal Highness Ping Wang, it is also quite unfortunate!

His Royal Highness Prince Ping is indeed very unfortunate.

When Jian Zhenxi told Jian Hao about this matter with a very uncertain attitude, he did not expect Xiao Shizi to agree very simply.

"I've heard about it for a long time. The locust plague is terrible. Relieve the disaster first, and don't rush to get married!" Anyway, I already live with His Royal Highness, and I have a son, so why worry?

Of course, he wisely did not say the latter sentence.

General Jian nodded with great satisfaction, and with the airs of a father-in-law, informed Prince Ping to go down.

His Royal Highness King Ping didn't say anything after listening, turned around and walked towards Xiao Shizi's temporary residence.

At that time, Jian Hao was lying on the bed, racking his brains to recall the various methods of fighting locusts in his previous life.

At this moment, he did not expect his next "destiny" at all.
