Chapter 18 Expansion of the palace
"Get up." Empress Lu had nothing to do and liked this proton, Lu Chan very much.
Lu Chan sat down directly, and a palace maid brought the precious imperial tea.
The two of them chatted about family matters, and Lu Chan changed the subject and said, "Aunt, I put two spies on Qi Di's side. But this kid actually sold everyone. I don't know if it was a nonsense or if he really found clues."
"What do you think?" asked Empress Lu.
"It's a nonsense, but it's also clear. He heard the rumors that he was very close to Wei Qing. Wei Qing, a playboy, once sold his slaves."
"But my nephew always felt that things didn't seem so simple. So I asked Zhou Yun to arrange a literary meeting and gave him an invitation."
"At that time, it will be a good time to try his best at the literary meeting. I'm afraid that this kid will not dare to attend." Lu Chan said with a frown.
Empress Lu smiled and said, "So you came to the palace to find Ai's family?"
Lu Chan smiled and said, "Auntie knows that the saints like to get along with the literati the most, demonstrating the style of the imperial family. The seventh prince has just entered the capital, and the first literary meeting is very important. If the saint says only a few words, he will definitely not dare not not participate."
"Okay, you have many ideas. I'll talk to the saint later." Queen Lu's tone was full of doting.
"My nephew is also sharing my worries for my aunt. The newly promoted His Highness, King An, is afraid that it is not very friendly to our Lu family." Lu Chan said in a low voice.
"Hmph, it's not just unfriendly, I'm afraid I'm going to die. But there's nothing I can do. The saint insists on coming back. He wants to make a deal with the Hu people in the north." Empress Lu was also a little helpless.
"The palms and backs of hands are all flesh, and the saint can only give up on him. Fortunately, he has to give up on him, so we don't have to take action in person." Thinking of Qi Xiaotian, Lu Chan was a little contemptuous.
"I saw that the saint was afraid of him and could not bear it. When I came back, I was crowned king. What's the credit?" Empress Lu occasionally burst into a little resentment of a little woman, and she was just a little woman.
Speaking of this, Lu Chan couldn't help but clench his fists slightly. Yes, the prince had done a few beautiful errands, and his aunt at least asked him for it.
But this kid has been in the Northern Wilderness, so why should he be granted the king as soon as he comes back? You must know that only Qi Jin has been granted the king among the princes.
"Auntie, don't be too concerned. You're just a short king, you don't even have a fief." Lu Chan could only comfort the queen in this way, and at the same time comfort himself.
It's past noon.
Qi Xiaotian made a brief preparation and, accompanied by Liu Lin, went to the palace to thank him.
The emperor and the empress met Qi Xiaotian in Antai Hall.
Before seeing Qi Xiaotian, the queen complained fiercely, saying that she was kind and mom. She sent many servants to the Seventh Prince, but was sold by him.
Qi Yuantai only said that he must ask the reason clearly and give him a serious reprimand.
As a result, when he saw Qi Xiaotian, it would be fine if he didn't talk about it. As soon as he talked about it, Qi Xiaotian immediately started crying and cried, saying that he was poor and needed more money.
He also said that Wei Qing told him that he could sell the servants around him for money.
The queen originally didn't believe these words, but when she thought of Lu Chan, she also said that Qi Xiaotian and Wei Qing were getting close.
Two bastards and dandy can really do such a shocking thing.
Qi Yuantai naturally knew that the cowardly son in front of him was not like this.
However, his illness was not exposed, but pretended to be moved by Qi Xiaotian and said, "My son is actually short of money. In this way, I will notify Zong Zhengfu to add some monthly silver for King An."
Empress Lu on the side was so angry that her face turned green.
Looking at Qi Xiaotian's face, he felt a little bit like Mrs. Ning's appearance back then, and he couldn't help but feel even more annoying.
After all the process is completed, Qi Xiaotian thanked and said goodbye.
Before leaving, Qi Yuantai said, "I heard from the Empress that there will be a essay meeting this month for the 15th of this month. I, Da Yong, have to participate in it. Even if you don't have a good poem, your knowledge will be good."
"Then Zhou Yun is a talented man in the capital. You should study humbly when you go. You should know that if you rely on martial arts to win the world, you should rely on literati to rule the world."
Qi Xiaotian naturally had no idea what to agree.
I kept my rude words in my heart and didn't say them out loud, which was the first chance in my life.
Looking at the queen who looked uncomfortable and pretended to be a loving mother, Qi Xiaotian repeatedly scolded the old bitch countless times in his heart.
"By the way, your second brother will be back to Beijing these days. When he comes back, you brothers will gather together. They are all the roots of my Da Yong, and they are as close as possible." Qi Yuantai added another sentence.
Some things were not sure.
For example, Zhou Yun’s literary club was initiated by a nerd, or was the Lu family who acted behind the scenes as the promoter?
This trip to the palace confirmed that the Lu family had indeed started to move.
The literary style of Dayong is highly regarded by literary works.
Even a playboy like Wei Qing was forced to go to the literary meeting to get along with his literary spirit.
Qi Xiaotian understood some things just by thinking about them.
On the first day of entering the city, General Manager Huang was scolded and quarreled. This matter must have been passed on to the Lu family.
Six of the seven sons of the saint Qi Yuantai were both civil and military, and they were of great importance in the court.
It's Lao Qi's turn, I'm afraid it's going to be a big discount.
I just wanted to use the literary meeting to step on me and let me make a fool of myself and then make a playboy to put on public opinion.
Qi Xiaotian's eyes flashed with coldness.
The Lu family took action completely according to the traditional routine: first destroy the reputation, and then find an opportunity to take the lead.
This method may be effective for ordinary people.
But it seems that it is not so smart when you align with Qi Xiaotian.
When I returned to Prince An's Mansion, I just got off the car and saw many people leveling the fried black land on the ruins around me.
Wei Qing and Sima Zhen stood by the side to command themselves. Zhao Kuo stood straight behind them, still looking clear and angular.
"What's the situation?" Qi Xiaotian asked.
Chen Jia had already come over and said, "Brother, you two brothers said that Prince An's mansion is too small and not enough. So, they hired people and started to enclose land, saying that they would expand the Prince's mansion for Brother you."
Chen Jia and others called him Prince Qi Xiaotian when there were outsiders, and when there was no one, they were still used to calling him brother.
Wei Qing and Sima Zhen also saw Qi Xiaotian.
They ordered the foreman a few words and ran over to meet Qi Xiaotian.
"Boss, I'll ask you to the Yousi Yamen in my father's name. From now on, this area will be the place of Prince An's Mansion." Wei Qing seemed very excited.
This is an unexpected joy. Xiaotian must not refuse to accept this love.
"Liu Lin, serve as a drink. Today we will not return without getting drunk." Qi Xiaotian ordered.
"Stop, you can drink wine today, but you can't drink too much. Tomorrow it will be the 15th anniversary. If you drink too much, you won't be able to relieve your body." Sima Zhen said, shaking his thin body.
The three of them smiled in a lewd way.
Zhao Kuo was expressionless behind him and just looked at them lightly.
Since selling all the chefs, Liu Lin has been going out to order the wine and meat.
Nowadays, we can only solve the problem of food and clothing in this way.
After Liu Lin and others were out, Sima Zhen and Wei Qing took out a few wrinkled papers from their bodies and handed them to Qi Xiaotian.
Chapter completed!
