Chapter 153: I don't want to fight

"Brother Wang, what is he thinking about?"
After the heavy rain ceased, another middle-aged man wearing a python robe was sitting in the study room of the palace in the palace of Qi, and frowned.
The King Qi, who has always been indifferent to power, has never done anything extraordinary in the years since his majesty became the throne. In fact, it is not as rumored outside, because he is afraid that the emperor will be jealous, so he pretends Do nothing.
It was His Royal Highness King Qi, who really had no idea about that position.
Indisputable.
The study is not well-oriented, so when the weather outside is not good, the study is often lit during the day. In the past, these things were done by the servants of the palace. Among the servants, there was a maid, Qi Wang called her a lamp-lighting maid, and she was responsible for this in the past.
Today, there are variables.
The maid who had been in the palace carefully, didn't provoke others, and didn't make much friendship with others, went into the well last night.
When the corpse was recovered today, it was already a bit ugly.
After receiving the news, His Royal Highness Qi didn't say much, but just let someone buy a good coffin and ignored the matter.
It stands to reason that this maid comes to the study every day to light the lamp for His Royal Highness Qi. It should be the person in the palace who has the most frequent contact with King Qi except for the old butler. After serving His Royal Highness for so long, King Qi should deal with her. Emotions are.
Unfortunately, no.
His Royal Highness Qi seems indifferent to this matter.
However, there is no lamp-lighting maid in the study, there will always be someone else to light the lamp for King Qi.
Especially in such a gloomy day.
The person who came to light the lamp for His Royal Highness Qi is the princess.
The family background is not bad. His Royal Highness Ming Match is married to Princess Qi.
When Princess Qi, who wore a red dress casually, lit the lamp, she heard the extremely annoyed words of His Royal Highness Qi, and she shook her hand and almost fell to the ground.
His Royal Highness didn't seem to know that the princess was in the room, and continued to curse: "Brother Wang, it would be good for a warrior on the battlefield to lead soldiers to fight honestly, but he thinks about that seat all day long. What is Chen Guo? Looks like he doesn't know? It's interesting to be the short-lived king if he wants to subdue Chen Kingdom?"
Although he was cursing, but His Highness King Qi didn't spit out any dirty words.
Princess Qi stood quietly on the side, looking at King Qi from time to time. Princess Qi was so beautiful that she was said to be the first beauty in Huaiyang City back then. I don’t know how many high-ranking officials wanted to marry her, but in the end The reason why Qi Wang was able to marry him as a concubine is simple. In fact, in addition to being a child of the royal family of Chen Kingdom, Qi Wang also said that he was the first beautiful man in Huaiyang City.
The first beautiful man marries the first beautiful woman, as it should be. Not only the people of Huaiyang want to see this marriage happen, but even the emperor is willing.
Behind Princess Qi is the Xun family, a loyal minister who followed the Taizu Emperor from the beginning of the founding of the State of Chen Guo. He still stands on the court in the ups and downs with Chen Guo.
Princess Qi’s father, Xun Fang, is still Chen's household book, holding a country’s money and food, and his prestige in the court can be said to be comparable to that of Luan Xiangguo.
It's just that even with a prominent family background, in the generation of Princess Qi, there are still big problems.
Xun Shangshu married one wife and had six concubines. Except for the birth of a daughter of Princess Qi, there was only one son who was born disabled.
According to this situation, after Xun Lao Shangshu resigned and returned to her seclusion, even if someone in the Xun family was in the court, it would not have come from the long house.
The situation in which Long House has been in control of the Patriarch from the beginning of Chen Guo's founding has obviously to be rewritten from then on.
Although Xun Shangshu is a scholar who reads poems and books, he still doesn't look away on this issue.
His Majesty the emperor didn't want the Xun family to be turbulent.
That's why King Qi married Princess Qi.
Xun Shangshu is happy to see the result. After all, there is King Qi as the son-in-law of the long house. Even if the long house is not good in the future, it will not be cleaned.
His Majesty the emperor was at ease, because the royal family needed a Xun family head who would not have much influence on the court.
The authority to let go must always be returned to him.
As for the King Qi and Princess Qi in this matter, not many people considered their ideas.
However, it seems that King Qi has not the slightest dissatisfaction. Over the years, the respect and respect of Princess Qi and his eyebrows are even more popular.
Princess Qi, who is a daughter, doesn't even care if she wants to live such a life.
What is happening in the study today may prove that these rumors are wrong.
Wang Qi didn't know what he said in a few whispers, and finally looked at Princess Qi.
"What are you afraid of? Since you are married to Prince Qi's Mansion, why don't you think about it for this king, but still stick to your father?"
King Qi stared into her eyes and asked, "This king is your husband. In the end, you can only be protected by this king. There is no point in placing your hopes on your father."
"Lord, who can you really protect, or who can you protect?"
Princess Qi seemed to be a little crazy after hearing something extremely funny.
"If this king doesn't fight for those things, do you really think that this king is incapable and that this king is afraid?"
Concubine Qi's eyes were a little cold, and the corners of her mouth were a little mocking, "The people in Huaiyang City know what the is the prince. Why do you have to talk about such things with your concubines?"
King Qi said, "You never thought about why this King can stay safe and sound in Huaiyang City for so many years, and no one has ever dared to be presumptuous in front of this King?"
Concubine Qi covered her mouth and sneered: "It's just the only gifts that your majesty gave to the prince. The family and life are in the hands of others. The prince really doesn't feel like sitting on pins and needles. After all, what kind of temper is your majesty, you, as your brother, How could you not know?"
King Qi was silent for a long time. It seemed that Prince Qi’s words really hit his weakness, but after a moment, the Prince Qi said in a deep voice: "But anyway, since you married into Prince Qi’s mansion, They can only be both prosperous and prosperous with the Qi Prince's Mansion, and lose everything when they are damaged."
Princess Qi raised her eyebrows slightly and said, "That's why the concubines spare no effort to seek peace for the prince."
"The prince doesn't worry about whether the state of Chen is the master or the king of Liang. Anyway, he is the elder brother of the prince. As long as the prince is a wasteful prince, he can be safe and stable. Anyway, if you don't fight, it will be peaceful, but our Xun family, The glory of so many years has been in the long room, if one day the glory is no longer, the old father of the concubine will not be happy."
King Qi frowned, but quickly stretched out. He changed the subject and said: "You have not had any children in these years. You must be unwilling to put too much affection on this king, but in fact you still haven't seen this king thoroughly. The marriage seems to be forced by the emperor’s brother, but in fact, the king has always liked you very much. If you had given birth to the king's heirs a few years earlier, even if the king doesn’t look down on that position now, he will still Fight for you."
There was a glimpse of surprise flashed between Princess Qi's eyebrows, but soon disappeared. "The prince is just talking nonsense."
King Qi stood up, went to stand next to the oil lamp for a moment, and sighed softly, "You really didn't think about why the father loved this king so much back then?"
Concubine Qi was startled. Everyone in Huaiyang City knew about the fact that King Qi was spoiled by the first emperor. The Emperor Chen never concealed his love for this young son. He even planned to pass on the throne to him. King Qi, if it hadn’t been for King Qi’s early expression of his unwillingness to face the intrigues and tricks of the court. Maybe the person sitting in that seat is really His Royal Highness Qi.
But the reason why King Qi had no idea about the throne was really not as simple as it was spread outside.
As if he was a little tired, King Qi stood up and walked to the entrance of the study. Before leaving the house, King Qi suddenly stopped and said softly: "When this King wants to tell you one thing, and the whole country of Chen can't protect you, Come back to the Qi Palace, this king will protect you."
King Qi walked out of the study and closed the door.
The relationship between husband and wife seems to end here.
But who knows.
After half a stick of incense, Princess Qi walked out of the palace.
He didn't bring too many things, but he got on a sedan chair and went to Xunfu.
King Qi could keep her for ten thousand reasons, the simplest one was that he didn't allow it.
He is now King of Qi, one of the two great vassal kings of the Chen Kingdom, and the husband of that woman. No matter how useless he is, there are only a few things he says in Huaiyang City that can be regarded as dear.
But Princess Qi is not among those people.
But King Qi did not do that.
He likes the princess, so he doesn't want to trap the princess.
After knowing the news, King Qi got up to get a jug of wine, and then walked alone in the palace. There were not many people in the palace, and now he feels even colder.
The old butler was waiting not far away.
Wang Qi turned his head to look at him, and asked softly: "Brother Liang Wang wants to rebel, should I manage it?"
The old housekeeper was silent.
Wang Qi laughed at himself, "Now even you are optimistic about Brother Liang Wang."
The old steward did not argue, but calmly said: "Your Majesty has been in power for many years, and he has already lost his spirit. This national war with Zhou can explain a lot of problems. If Luan Xiangguo has been in the court and has not expressed his attitude, it must be Liang Wang It's been a long time ago. Now Luan Xiangguo is discouraged, it is only natural that Huaiyang City has changed."
King Qi took a big sip of wine, "If Luan Xiangguo is gone, even if Brother Liang wins the throne, is it possible that he can expand his territory and build a foundation for eternity?"
The old housekeeper lowered his head, his arms folded.
Luan Ping was too important to Chen Guolai. His Majesty the Emperor and King Liang were not as clear as King Qi.
King Qi dropped the flask at random and wiped his mouth: "The king's ambition has never been on the throne. Whoever becomes the emperor doesn't care about the king, but if one party makes the princess have an accident, then he should not even think about sitting in that seat! "
The reason why Qi Wang did not dispute has not been explained so far.
It is indisputable that apart from really not interested in something, there is also the possibility that you simply don't like that thing.
Or maybe both.
