Play Luan Policy

In the Taiji Hall, silver plates piled up, wine cups competed, and the long deserted palace once again became lively with lights and festoons. It was obviously just a celebration banquet for Qin Dian and Qi Wei, but it was much more cheerful and relaxed than the birthday banquet during the Chinese New Year. Musician Playing, playing and singing dancers sing and dance gracefully, and every minister's face has the joy after adversity.

On the dragon chair, Qi Xiao was wearing a uniform and leaning on the silkworm pillow. Today, she was dressed more delicately and gorgeously than usual.In addition to the Kowloon crown, there is also a lotus golden cloud step inserted in the back of the bun, which shimmers and shines under the brightly lit candles around.Fu powder was applied on the face to make the cheeks fairer, and two small petals were drawn out with bright red rouge on the lips, like red plums picked from the vase next to it and fell in the snow.

The forehead between the eyebrows was dyed just right, and the plum blossoms were pasted on it, which swept away the heroic spirit between the eyebrows, and added some tenderness from a daughter's family.

In any case, today's Empress should be in a very happy mood.He took the pastry and fruit from the hand of the maid with his forehead propped up. His face was as cold and indifferent as usual, but everyone present could feel that compared with the extremely cold and icy attitude of the previous few months, today is the temperature of the melting snow in early spring. It was bitingly cold, but if there was a faint smile in those pale eyes, it could make people feel the comfort of Chunyang Huaxue.

The attention of this banquet was all on Qin Dian and Qi Wei. Qin Dian had just been conferred the title of Hushi General, and Qi Wei had just been conferred the title of King Chen. The ministers toasted and congratulated them again and again, but everyone was still quite wary of the two. Although both of them have become high-ranking officials and dignitaries, it was true that they brought troops into the capital before, and Qi Xiao was rewarding the city with money at this time, but it might be a needle hidden in the cotton.However, apart from congratulating and toasting a group of ministers, there is no other pursuit of high status, they are all superficial politeness.

The audience was bustling, the toasts were congratulatory, and Qi Xiao, who was sitting on a high place, was a bit bored. In any dinner party, except for the necessary toasts and speeches, the officials did not dare to exceed the courtesy, and no one dared to say anything more to Qi Xiao However, Qi Xiao is not someone who can't stand loneliness. Usually, as long as he keeps in his mind the excerpts he read during the day, the time will pass.

But this time, Qi Xiao's mind completely drifted back to the Hall of Mental Cultivation, and he couldn't taste much of the delicacies in his mouth. Qi Yi finally woke up this morning, but it wasn't long before he drank a bowl of decoction Afterwards, she continued to fall into a coma, and didn't wake up until Qi Xiao went to the banquet. She didn't know what was going on now, and she wanted to go back eagerly, but the dinner had just started, so at least she had to wait for a while.

Wait patiently until the crowd below are all slightly drunk, and the time is almost at Haishi, Qi Xiao rolled up his cuffs and said to the ministers below who were toasting to each other: "I'm tired, go back to the palace first, all lovers don't need to be polite, Tomorrow is a day off, everyone have fun."

The officials toasted Qi Xiao again, and Qi Xiao hurriedly drove back to the palace after drinking a cup of Zhuyeqing.

The chariot wobbled all the way to the Hall of Mental Cultivation, and the attendant waiting at the door saw it, and hurried forward to help Qi Xiao get off the chariot, and the rest ran into the hall and ordered the maid to prepare sober soup and a hand warmer.

As soon as he stepped into the main hall, Qi Xiao saw all kinds of things surrounding him, he just waved his hands to silence them, so that they should not make any noise, then ignored the maids around him, and walked lightly into the seminary hall .

The candles in the room were only lit with two small candles, and the eyes couldn't adapt to the dark environment immediately. It took a while to see the surroundings clearly, and tiptoed to the front of the couch, lifted the curtains and sat on the edge of the couch, leaning on the right side Lie down avoiding the wound, facing Qi Xiao with a thin and pale face.

Tucked in the quilt for her, Qi Ping took a deep breath and opened his eyes with slightly trembling eyelashes.

"I woke you up." Qi Xiao apologized, "Are you hungry, or I'll ask the dining room to cook some porridge for you."

Smiling and shaking his head, Qi Zhe stretched out his right hand from the quilt to hold Qi Xiao's gauze-wrapped hand and said, "I just drank some sweet porridge." Then he wrinkled his nose and smelled the faint smell of alcohol on Qi Xiao's body, He frowned worriedly, "Why did you drink before your injury healed?"

"It's okay to just drink a little." Seeing Qi Bing's worried eyes after saying this, he quickly changed his tone and said, "Okay, I won't drink anymore."

I've never seen her look so humble, and I couldn't help but turn from anger to joy, and gently moved the index finger of my right hand to caress Qi Xiao's palm, "It's not that you are allowed to drink, but your wound has not healed, and drinking is not suitable for healing."

Seeing that Qi Zhi's spirit was much better than before, Qi Xiao felt relieved, felt the itching from the palm of his hand, and his chest was also rippling, "If you are tired, go to sleep again, the imperial doctor said don't bother yourself these few days. "

Qi Wei nodded weakly. He was indeed very sleepy. If he hadn't missed Qi Xiao so much and forced himself to be half asleep after drinking the medicinal soup, he would have fallen asleep long ago. He blinked tiredly and said, "It's true. Sleepy, Xiao'er also rested earlier, it's late."

Turning his head and glanced at the mountain of paperwork on the case, Qi Xiao still nodded in response.

When Qi Ping fell asleep, Qi Xiao picked up the topmost booklet before returning to the case and began to review it. Because she was afraid of too many people making noise, only a personal maid was left to serve Qi Ping. She had to grind the papers by herself, while reading the paper Checking the movement on the bed from time to time, the time passed quickly.

On the second day, Qi Xiao sent a message to Shang'er about the return of the princess.

Just like in the past, when she saw Qi Ping lying on the bed sickly, Chang'er's eyes immediately turned red, and when she was about to ask or blame her for hurting herself, she was deeply suffocated by Qi Ping's weak smile When I went back, I wiped my tears with my cuffs. Without saying a word, I packed up my simple luggage and temporarily lived outside the back porch of the Hall of Mental Cultivation.

Chang'er has followed Qi Ping for many years, and compared to those higher-ranking female officials, she can take care of Qi Ping more thoughtfully, and Qi Ping is also more at ease and used to living in a palace that seems too gorgeous to her.

In the next few days, although the pain in the body eased day by day, the dressing wrapped around the left shoulder was replaced with a new one, and the left hand could be lifted slightly, but the fatigue caused by excessive blood loss was still not relieved .

Maybe it's because there is a prescription for calming the nerves and helping sleep in the medicinal soup. After drinking the medicinal soup, the whole person will feel drowsy. , Qi Lu was not tortured by the pain, although the wound was tearing at the pain when he woke up for a moment, but the chaos in his mind blocked most of the pain.

Finally one day, his energy was much better than the previous few days. Even after drinking the medicinal soup, his eyelids were not so sleepy that his eyelids twitched immediately. Because the wound had not fully healed, he could not move casually. Raise your upper body slightly and look at the scenery outside the window to pass the time.

Because he is afraid of the cold air entering the lungs in late spring, except for the brazier placed in the house and the necessary ventilation, the window lattices are closed most of the time. Qi can only calculate the time through the light of the carved window grilles.

Chang'er next to him saw that Qi Wei seemed bored, so he talked about what happened after she left. The flowers and plants picked years ago have sprouted new buds in the past few days, and the begonias are lined with green leaves to decorate a tree. , In another month or so, the peonies that have been picked and planted will probably be in full bloom.

Since Qi Zhi left, Li Mo, who lived in Siyuxuan at the beginning, often clamored to see Aunt Bao, but later Qi Xiao found a great Confucian from the Imperial College, Kai Meng, and fell in love with Li Mo who was writing with a pen. Forgot about this, and imitated Mr. Shaking his head and reciting the Three Character Classic all day long.

When she said this, Shang'er smacked her lips and cursed inwardly, "Little bastard without a conscience, how much you loved her back then, princess."

Seeing that Shang'er was still aggrieved for this, Qi Ping, who was half lying on the bed, burst out laughing.Because of poor Qi and blood, Qi Zhi seldom spoke, and more often he listened to Chang'er chatting there to pass the time, and the sun was shining and setting in the blink of an eye.

Although Qi Xiao moved all the cases into the Xiusheng Hall, but after going to the early court, he must meet the ministers. In order to avoid disturbing Qi Yi, Qi Xiao simply put the place where he met the ministers in Changyi Garden not far from the Hall of Mental Cultivation. It is usually near dusk when the political affairs are handled and returned.

Thinking that she was still in good spirits today, she was so sleepy a few days ago that she didn't have a word with Qi Xiao, and she looked forward to seeing that person even more. He was still talking about Xiaolu and Qiulin's recent situation, and suddenly realized that the other party hadn't responded. He looked up and saw her looking expectantly towards the door.

After stopping to speak half of the words, Shang'er lowered her head and sighed slightly, and continued to massage Qi Ping's calf. The room returned to a quiet place, and only a moment later, she heard commotion and greetings from outside. Qi Ping lifted his body slightly and saw The door opened, and Qi Xiao was surrounded by maids and came to the bed.

Qi Xiao was very happy to see that Qi Bing was in good spirits today, and quickly ordered the dining room to make some easy-to-digest side dishes, and then motioned for others to step back so as not to get angry.

Qi Ping looked at Qi Xiao with clear eyes, as if he could see nothing else, Chang'er stopped what he was doing, re-tucked the quilt for her, and retreated to the side with a tactful salute, not to disturb the two of them.

Except for Chang'er, there was only one personal maid left in the room, who was a little embarrassed to be looked at by Qi Zhuo. Qi Xiao used his right hand to straighten the hair falling from his ear temples, then turned his head and ordered the maid to grind ink and lay paper for critiquing. After saying a few words, I sat in front of the case and critiqued it.

Qi Zhi was a little puzzled and lost, thinking that he could finally get along well, but he didn't expect the other party to ignore him, but seeing her seriously sitting in front of the case and flipping through the booklets, he understood the great changes in the court and the border wars , It is inevitable that there are many things in the Ministry of Finance and the Ministry of War.

After thinking about it this way, I was relieved a lot, but in the next few days, Qi Wei found that Qi Xiao seemed to avoid him on purpose, saying that avoiding him was not appropriate, because whenever he was drowsy or mentally weak, she would be extremely warm and accompany him. Be careful around you, for fear of something happening.But whenever Qi Ping's spirit improved, Qi Xiao immediately changed his appearance, and his dodging eyes made Qi Ping angry and annoyed, and also a little worried for no reason.

Three days later, it happened to be the first day of March. During Shuoyue eating fast and praying for blessings, Qi Ping's appetite has improved a lot. Seeing the delicate and lovely corn dumplings, he ate several of them with a great appetite, served with light and refreshing The wild mushroom soup is really delicious.

Seeing that Qi Ping was eating deliciously, Chang'er was naturally happy, and when the plates were empty, she briskly packed them up and went out of the inner room, planning to get the ginseng soup in the afternoon, when she happened to meet Qi Xiao who was returning to the Hall of Mental Cultivation.

Truthfully reported Qi Bing's situation today, and knowing that Qi Bing's appetite was still good, Qi Xiao was overjoyed, pushed the door and stepped into the hall, asked a few questions with concern as usual, and then went to review the memorial.

But today Qi Ping didn't intend to stop there, before Qi Xiao proposed, Qi Ping took the lead and said: "It's been a boring few days, Xiao'er talk to me."

While helping Qi Ping straighten the pillow, Qi Xiao frowned in distress, "There are a lot of paperwork these days, and Chang'er will be back soon, let her talk to you then."

Qi Ping lowered his head and bit his lower lip tightly, feeling heavy and uncomfortable in his heart, then raised his head, his always clear eyes were slightly red, "Your Majesty, are you still blaming me for bringing troops into Beijing with the emperor?"
