fall into dust

"...For Gong Sheji's sake of Datong, and to inherit the prestige of Qi State, I risked my life and dared to enter...huh." Ling Qu threw the bamboo slips in his hand on the ground with a snap, and picked up another one. , and continued to read in a strange way, a lot had piled up beside him, obviously he had been looking at it for some time.

"Since ancient times, all virtuous kings have had virtuous queens. Empress Chen of Qi State assisted King Qi to achieve hegemony in vain. Queen Li Yu assisted Cheng Zhao to unify the northwest. I hope that your majesty will be considerate and establish the foundation of the country..." Ling Qu has not yet finished reading , Throwing down the bamboo slip in his hand again, he panted angrily, and asked, "Hanxiao, do you also think that the lonely king should be the heir apparent?"

Hanxiao knelt beside Ling Qu, put away the bamboo slips he dropped one by one, and put her hands on her knees with a smile when she heard Ling Qu's question, and nodded respectfully.

Ling Qu was not satisfied with Hanxiao's answer, but Hanxiao always said what was most beneficial to him, Ling Qu pondered for a while, and said to himself: "Yes, the previous king was married when he was in charge, and the lonely king is already married. I have been in power for more than eight years, but I have not yet established an empress, so it is really difficult to shut up those old guys." Ling Qu said, and suddenly sighed, "If the lonely king becomes an empress, what will Xiang Jun do?"

This is the most difficult question. Ling Qu has a crush on Qin Xiangjun, but Ling Qu can't make him the empress, not only because he is a man, but more importantly, there are mutual checks and balances between countries. Ling Qu's marriage must consider what is best for Qi State. On the positive side, and disputes between countries, marriage has become a long-standing habit.

"Xiang Jun, Xiang Jun," Ling Qu murmured, then suddenly turned to Han Xiao and said, "Han Xiao, why do you think his name is so good?"

Ling Qu's brows were stained with a smile, and he tapped on the table and said in a loud voice: "Your spirit is not yet complete, and the female beauty is resting for Tai Yu. The tears are gurgling, and the thoughts of the king are full of sorrow..."

Listening quietly with a smile on his face, feeling Ling Qu's overflowing love, he lowered his eyelids and followed up silently in his heart.

Yuan has Zhi, Li has orchid, and Si Gongzi dare not speak.

Even though Ling Qu was reluctant in every possible way, the matter of becoming a queen was still put on the agenda. With Ling Qu's acquiescence, all the officials gathered enthusiastically, the left and right prime ministers and important ministers got together to discuss, and soon the choice was made. The portrait of the young man was presented to Ling Qu, and the portrait was placed on Ling Qu's desk for several days, but Ling Qu did not wait for his favor.

With a smile, he changed the place of the portrait to make it more conspicuous. He thought, maybe he would be interested in seeing it today. After all, this is a big deal, and he has an obligation to advise him.

When Ling Qu returned to the Huiyang Palace, he did indeed see those pieces of veil with portraits all at once. His face darkened, and his voice was slightly angry, "Hanxiao, you put this on?"

Yes, Your Majesty.

With a smile, he replied neither humble nor overbearing, although it was just a mouth shape, Ling Qu could already understand what he said.

"The lonely king doesn't want to watch it now." Ling Qu lost his temper.

Your Majesty!

Hanxiao hurriedly grabbed Ling Qu's sleeve, but soon realized that she had broken etiquette, so she eagerly let go of her hand, and put it in front of her body.He paused for a moment, and gestured for Ling Qu to go and have a look, with the utmost humility and obedience.

Ling Qu didn't make things difficult for him, and walked over with a frown.

"What's there to see, there must have been discussions about which courtier to marry, and the most favorable one should be chosen." Ling Qu sat down casually, and flipped through the portraits.

"Princess Yinguo, she is twenty-eight years old, isn't she a little younger? But Yinguo is located in the north of Qiguo, and it is a country that Qiguo has been friends with for many years. If you can get married with Yinguo, it will be of great help to Qiguo. Good." Ling Qu analyzed, but did not carefully look at the appearance of the person in the portrait.

He casually picked up another one, thought for a while and said, "Princess Yan? She is also under consideration? It is rumored that the princess of Yan is unruly and willful. If she enters the lonely king's palace, won't the world be turned upside down?"

Hanxiao suddenly touched Ling Qu's arm, blinked, and handed a bamboo slip to Ling Qu, Ling Qu took it over and looked at it, there were two words on it, virtue.

Ling Qu's mind suddenly brightened, and he said urgently: "You mean to be elected as the one with the best virtue under the same conditions?"

Nodding with a smile.

This is really up to Ling Qu to make his own decision. The officials will only consider the benefits to the Qi State, but it is difficult to consider the benefits to Ling Qu personally. Since Ling Qu has already decided to be with Qin Xiangjun, the queen who comes back will also be married. It can only be used as a decoration of Qi State, and this decoration must have the self-consciousness of being a decoration, so as not to disturb the relationship between Ling Qu and Qin Xiangjun.

After Ling Qu figured it out, he suddenly burst into laughter. He took Hanxiao with one hand, hugged him in front of him, and said, "Hanxiao, you are really my bag of wisdom."

That night, Ling Qu slept very well, probably because he settled a concern. He only waited for the big wedding to move Qin Xiangjun slowly. Although he didn't have a queen, there were many beauties around him, and he never doubted He also took it for granted that Qin Xiangjun would not mind his feelings for Qin Xiangjun.

In fact, he still didn't understand Qin Xiangjun.

Hanxiao had thought of this earlier, he turned his head to look at the sleeping Ling Qu, since he occupied his bed that day, he never went back to his own bed, and beside him, Hanxiao always suffered from insomnia.He closed his eyes and thought about the question he just thought of again. Although thunder, rain and dew are all God's blessings, he felt that the proud Qin Xiangjun would definitely not accept it. He thought that he would remind Ling Qu tomorrow and ask him to send someone to inform Qin Xiangjun first. His wedding was just a matter of political necessity.

However, the next morning, after Hanxiao opened his eyes, Ling Qu had disappeared. He was worried for a long time, but he waited for the news that Ling Qu had decided to get married.

The one chosen was the one Ling Qu first saw, Princess Yinting of Yinguo.

Hanxiao was worried in his heart, but his identity could not go to the front court, he waited in front of the gate of Huiyang Hall, walking around and around.It wasn't until evening that Ling Qu came back slowly. He smiled and said anxiously, Your Majesty, send a message to Young Master Qin.

"Hanxiao, what are you talking about?" Ling Qu was in a good mood, so he didn't look carefully, and Hanxiao was too eager to see the shape of his lips.

Taking a deep breath with a smile, he said, Jun Shang, tell Mr. Qin about Jun Shang's wedding.

Ling Qu was taken aback, "Tell him?"

Yes.

Ling Qu didn't want to understand that if Xiangjun is interested in him after his wedding, he would be angry, but now Xiangjun doesn't seem to have any feelings for him, and the monarch's wedding will definitely spread to the ears of the subjects of all countries. No matter where Qin Xiangjun is, he will definitely hear the news. Is it necessary to tell him personally?

Hanxiao insisted on asking Ling Qu to send someone to deliver the message. Ling Qu would usually consider Hanxiao's words, and it was not difficult to send a message. He just ordered and arranged it.

Hanxiao seemed to be relieved, but soon, he slowly became sad. In the future, the king will have a queen, and Lord Qin Xiang, so what about him?Can you still be by his side like now?With a smile on his face, he turned his head to look at the smiling Ling Qu, and suddenly felt sad and wanted to cry.

Unexpectedly, Ling Qu's messenger hadn't found Qin Xiangjun, but he came back by himself. The moment he heard the news, Ling Qu was stunned for half a cup of tea, and then he turned to smile blankly, Asked: "Hanxiao, what did the lonely king hear just now? Mr. Xiang is back? Didn't he just leave for a long time?"

On the smiling face, he was not as shocked and pleasantly surprised as Ling Qu. Qin Xiangjun came back suddenly at this time, perhaps because he had heard the news that Ling Qu was about to get married. is a good thing.

Ling Qu hurriedly got up and went straight to the door, but when he rushed to the door, he suddenly turned back, turned around in front of Han Xiao, and said eagerly: "Han Xiao, do you think the clothes of the lonely king are well decorated? Mr. Xiang What color do you like? Oh, yes, it must be white, he usually likes to wear white clothes." Ling Qu hurriedly straightened his robes, straightened his hair crown, and then hurried out again.

As soon as he left the house, someone from the palace reported that Qin Xiangjun had entered the palace and was waiting for Ling Qu to summon him.

Ling Qu panicked again, he turned back to the palace, still standing where he was just now with a smile on his face, Ling Qu walked over quickly and asked, "Smile, should I see him at the front court or send him here."

With a smile on his face, Qin Xiangjun came back suddenly, even approaching the palace, obviously menacing, but Ling Qu was still excited and thought that he just came back because he had had enough fun. At this moment, he suddenly felt that Ling Qu's marriage might have something to do. Misfortune happened.

"Smile, talk quickly." Ling Qu was so anxious that he forgot that he couldn't speak, he just wanted to get a response from Han Xiao quickly, and he thought about it, he should come to the court, Qin Xiangjun's purpose is probably to target Ling Qu's marriage Yes, it should have nothing to do with the former court.

Just as Han Xiao opened his lips, the palace servants appeared again, reporting that Lord Qin Xiang had entered the imperial court and would be arriving at the Huiyang Palace soon.

Many people in and out of the palace knew Ling Qu's thoughts about Qin Xiangjun, so naturally no one dared to stop him. Now, Ling Qu didn't care about waiting for the answer with a smile, and rushed out and opened the courtyard gate outside the Huiyang Palace by himself.

Outside the door, Qin Xiangjun was standing there, dressed in dust and dust, but could not hide his brilliance.

He followed with a smile and saw Qin Xiangjun again. He hadn't seen him a few times, because he was always in the Huiyang Palace and rarely went out. Ling Qu took him with great interest and told him about that glamorous figure a few times. It was Qin Xiangjun whom he liked.

Hanxiao felt a sudden pain in his heart. He looked at his rough hands, callused from playing the piano all the year round. He touched his face. Although it was soft and beautiful, it was not as shocking as his. What he wears is the clothes of a high-class palace official, but his status is low, this is an unchangeable fact, and, with a smile moving his lips, he can't speak.

There was not only a smile in the heartache, Ling Qu happily opened the door, and met Qin Xiangjun's cold face, as if pouring cold water on his head, he had just opened his mouth to call, and the person outside the door began to question him coldly.

"Your Majesty wants to get married?"
