Chapter 130: Catch the Wind Banquet (3)
From her words, the ladies analyzed several meanings.
First, she has a good relationship with the Prince of Chen. Even if she cannot be the queen, she is very special in the eyes of Prince Chen. Moreover, Prince Chen is about to ascend the throne to the emperor, which means that she can influence Chen's attitude towards the Western Song Dynasty.
Secondly, even though they had years of friendship, the two had a rift due to Emperor Chen's stupidity. So she would not bring back the old subordinate of Qi Han, but would give it to her younger brother Qi Yuelin. It was equivalent to being controlled by their siblings, so Qi Yueran is still valuable.
Third, compared to marrying a powerful woman as a family member, it is obviously safer and more cost-effective to win over such a force by marrying a daughter.
Mrs. Lin next to her wife lit up her eyes and said with a smile: "Young Master Qi, you are not young anymore. You can kiss me in a few years. Boys always have to get married first and then start a career."
Qi Yueran smiled and said, "Yes, start a family first and then start a career." Her eyes flashed as she said, and this was obviously for everyone present to listen to.
A young woman at the next table picked up the wine glass: "Ms. Qi led the warriors of Chen State to help our Western Song army fight against the enemy. The great kindness and virtue are unforgettable! Today, I will give a cup of Buddha to pay homage to Miss Qi. I will hold a banquet in my Liu Mansion to thank me again. I hope Miss Qi will not be disgusted and come to the banquet with her face!"
Qi Yueran stood up and drank a drink: "If you have time, Yueran will definitely go there happily!" This was agreed.
As soon as the young lady of Liu's mansion sat down, she stood up and invited her to her. Qi Yueran all agreed.
The situation has changed a little, and Mrs. 6 and Mrs. Li are not good at saying anything more. This woman is not only powerful but also has a very straightforward verbal speech. It seems that she should pay more attention to it.
After the banquet, Jin Yunpei was going to return to the palace by carriage, and everyone in the Chen family saw him off. Jin Yunpei took Qi Yueran's hand and said in a low voice: "The emperor wants to arrange Miss Qi as the deputy commander of the large inner guard, but I wonder if he is willing?"
This position is very convenient to enter and exit the palace gate, and can control some of the imperial guards with combat effectiveness, which is considered a relatively important position. Of course, the premise is that Qi Yueran can suppress the arrogant soldiers and generals with great background.
"Thank you, the emperor," Qi Yueran nodded. This was a response. Since she wanted to gain a foothold in the Western Song Dynasty, she naturally had to show her abilities. How can people who have no value in use have the capital to gain a foothold?
The next day, Mrs. Chen Xuan personally took Qi Yueran to the house rewarded by the eldest princess. This was a three-entry yard with a large garden behind it. Jinzhou suffered a catastrophe decades ago, and the royal family withered, and many places were vacant. Later, most of them were rewarded for officials to live in. Such a yard was almost only allowed to be lived in by high-ranking officials of the second and third ranks. Qi Yueran was very satisfied and thanked again. Mrs. Chen Zhi also ordered people to prepare some sets of clothes, and this afternoon we would go to the palace to meet the saint, and the emperor held a banquet to enter the evening.
Chen Chong was in charge of his official position. He entered the palace early in the morning and reported the details of the battlefield to the emperor and his ministers. He retired to the court and arrived home nearly noon. He quickly took no time to rest after eating and rode a horse to Qi Yueran's new home. Qi Yueran, who was planning to take a nap in the afternoon, was a little unhappy, and he knew at a glance that the guest was a little unpopular.
Chen Chong walked up happily: "Why are you so lazy that you don't want to move after just coming back?"
Qi Yueran said: "Who is willing to suffer if you can enjoy it?"
"That's right. Follow our Chen family and the eldest princess, you will enjoy more glory and wealth!"
"It is also possible to be killed by Sima Ji." Qi Yueran added.
Chen Chong smiled awkwardly: "Groom beautifully, I will accompany you into the palace. Although the emperor called me uncle, there is a difference between the king and the minister after all. He is not old and has a big temper. Don't contradict him casually, do you understand?"
"I haven't really taken power yet, I just don't know what's wrong. Are you going to raise him into a tyrant?" Qi Yueran leaned against the couch. Her injuries had not yet healed, so she would do whatever she felt comfortable. She didn't treat Chen Chong as an outsider.
"After all, it's the emperor, please speak carefully." Chen Chong reminded with kindness. "This is not your childhood sweetheart, Prince Chen."
"A teenager, the higher you praise him, the more he becomes, the more he is under Sima Ji's suppression. In the long run, he doesn't know how to deal with things." She laughed and said with a self-deprecating smile. "You are right, after all, it's the emperor. Please forget what I just said."
"Forget it, you have never said good words. I won't bother with you. I will accompany you into the palace in the afternoon."
"You don't have to be so attentive. I said yesterday that the Qi family army will give it to my brother in the future."
Chen Chong stepped forward a few steps and looked at her condescendingly: "I have a vision than them and can see further. The eldest princess knows that it is easy to get a general in a thousand troops."
Jianyang City.
Changyuan's imperial envoy will arrive today. Early in the morning, Dong Shuyuan sent people to welcome him. The team was about to enter the city, and he led a group of generals from Jianyang to welcome him. The list of imperial envoys accompanying him had already been delivered. Huo Lianjie was overjoyed to see Lu Chen's name and also sneaked into the team behind Dong Shu.
Since knowing that Qi Yueran has survived, Dong Shu has disliked him very much and let him wander around in front of others and ignore him.
In the distance, flags fluttered, and the large group of people got closer and closer. The carriage appeared in sight, and it finally stopped. Several adults from Changyuan got out of the car and walked closer. The man was Yan Min, the governor of Longzhou who had just rebelled against the Ding You, who was the imperial envoy appointed this time. There were several officials who assisted in affairs behind, and Lu Chen was on the list.
"General Dong Shu, the Southwest Camp, has worked hard all the way!" Dong Shu walked forward with a smile on his face and walked forward to greet him.
Yan Min smiled and greeted her. Huo Lianjie's eyes had already gone around everyone and winked at Lu Chen. Lu Chen frowned and shook his head, indicating that Huo Lianjie was more at peace. Dong Shu arranged a welcome banquet. After a simple conversation, he got on the carriage and returned to the general's mansion in the city. That was where he spoke.
Huo Lianjie squeezed into Lu Chen's carriage and separated for several months. Finally, he saw an acquaintance. Both of them were a little happy. Lu Chen had no time to say anything else, so he asked him with a stern face: "Are you and Qi Yueran still broken?"
"How about the emperor? Isn't it more tiring than being the prince?" Huo Lianjie said nothing about it.
"You seriously injured her, why didn't you eradicate the roots?"
"I heard that King Xian is going crazy, the Empress Dowager is going to feel so distressed, right?"
"She lost us 20,000 soldiers!"
"...It's the incompetent generals who lead the troops."
Lu Chen: "You haven't answered my first question yet."
"What's wrong? It seems that I have had a lot of involvement with her." I couldn't escape it, so I could only answer with a stingy bullet.
"Isn't it?"
"I hope there is."
