Chapter 169 Concubine Qi is promoted to concubine
The concubine is sitting in the army, and the pot comes from the capital.
Ao Guangchun was telling his good brother Guan Wenqing about his hard life during this period.
At the beginning, I quickly talked about working hard, but my mother-in-law took advantage of the fact that I was beaten and couldn't get out of bed, so I threw a bowl of tranquilizing medicine into the carriage and pulled him to the border.
The Fu family army worked together to hone themselves while preventing themselves from escaping.
He was caught five times and beaten until there were blood marks all over his body!
Those people are so cruel, they use sea buckthorn sticks to whip them!
The blood and flesh are bloody but the muscles and bones are not broken!
They also punched and kicked me, all targeting the thicker areas.
After being abused for such a long time, he actually gradually grew up...
Guan Wenqing listened and felt something was wrong when he saw him lifting up his clothes to show off his eight-pack abs and well-shaped chest muscles.
"You bastard, are you showing off to me?!"
Ao Guangchun's face was full of surprise: "Am I showing off? How miserable my life has been! Look at my skin... how tanned it is..."
However, the corner of his mouth turned up too obviously, and Guan Wenqing slapped him on the back of the head with a big sinus: "You don't think you're showing off?!"
The two people instantly got into a fuss.
In the palace, Lu Daban packed his things with a grimace, while the two young eunuchs who brought him out with his own hands looked worried and reluctant.
"Master, why did you agree so quickly..."
Lu Daban comforted the two young apprentices: "Don't worry, master will be fine. This old man will go to Taizhou no matter what! He will never betray His Majesty's trust!"
There was a tragic look on his face. After sending the two young apprentices away, Lu Dabi raised the corners of his mouth slightly, showing a vague attitude that he couldn't hold back.
I can actually leave the palace in this life... Blessed by my ancestors!
He has also accumulated a lot of belongings over the years, and originally wanted to take them with him.
But after thinking about it, he hid the most important items in the hidden compartments of the floor tiles under the bed.
Some of the remaining belongings were given to the young apprentices around him, some were put in the boxes where gold and silver belongings are usually placed and entrusted to the apprentice for safekeeping, and some of the remaining belongings were taken with him...
After Lu Daban left the capital with his escort, Lu Daban's young apprentice quietly came to the emperor, holding a box in his hand.
"Your Majesty, this is the property left by Lu Daban. Before he left, he entrusted me with keeping it and asked me to return it to him when he comes back..."
The emperor looked through the belongings in the box, asked Lu Daban in detail about the situation before leaving, and breathed a sigh of relief.
He didn't know why, but he was so suspicious now that he felt that no one around him could believe it...
After thinking for a while, he ordered: "Go to Concubine Qi's place."
The young eunuch was stunned for a moment, and then he searched for Qi Bin's address in his mind: The seventh prince's biological mother... His Majesty has not looked for her for several years, why did he suddenly think of her?
But the little eunuch said in agreement: "Here!"
When Concubine Qi heard that the emperor was actually coming to her place, she was so surprised that she hurriedly asked the palace servants to help her dress up.
However, she has not had the opportunity to meet His Majesty alone for many years, and she does not have much jewelry and clothes that she can afford...
After reluctantly dressing up, Qi concubine knelt down to greet His Majesty the Emperor.
The emperor entered the palace, looked at the shabby concubine Qi, and then looked at the shabby palace. Thinking of the past, his expression became more complicated.
"Rong Rong, I haven't come to see you these years. Do you have any resentment in your heart?"
This question begs the question... who can say there is any resentment?
Concubine Qi naturally said "no", and then expressed her shame that she did not have tea or snacks in the palace to welcome His Majesty.
The emperor was not surprised. He asked about the situation of the seventh prince, and said that the Qinghui Palace was too shabby and wanted to have some decorations brought over.
Concubine Qi was extremely pleasantly surprised and did not understand why the emperor suddenly treated her so favorably. She stood aside and felt uneasy.
The emperor looked at her intently for a moment, and then said: "In these years, do you regret entering my harem?"
Concubine Qi was so frightened that she knelt down again: "I am devoted and loyal to Your Majesty, how can I regret it? My greatest happiness in this life is to be His Majesty's woman..."
I couldn't wait to confess my heart to my heart, but I don't know how much the emperor listened to it. Anyway, the emperor only sat for a cup of tea and left without even touching the cup of tea.
After concubine Qi knelt down to see His Majesty the Emperor off, she didn't know what she thought of, and sat there in a daze...
"Mother..." The seventh prince came in at some point and shouted when he saw Concubine Qi in a daze.
Concubine Qi trembled with fright, and then she looked at the Seventh Prince: "Xu'er, help mother think about it, why did your father come to see me today? But what happened outside?"
Concubine Qi has long passed the age where her head is full of love, and she knows very well that her yesterday's appearance cannot attract the emperor, so there must be other reasons.
The Seventh Prince's eyes were deep: "Maybe it's because the master kidnapped all the soldiers in the camp on the outskirts of Beijing..."
The seventh prince explained what happened outside.
Qi Bin reached out and covered her mouth.
"Oh my god..."
She only knew that the soldiers from the camp on the outskirts of Beijing and Fu Chenan were chasing the Tatar cavalry, but she didn't know that they never came back!
Recovering, Qi Bin grabbed the Seventh Prince's arm, her eyes filled with horror: "Son, was it wrong for Mom to ask you to become Fu Chen'an's disciple?"
"Fu Chenan doesn't listen to the imperial edict and won't let the camp on the outskirts of Beijing come back. Is he going to rebel? Huh?"
"If he rebels, will your father be angry with us and kill us..."?
Qi Bin’s face suddenly turned pale and she was frightened.
However, the seventh prince's eyes were heavy, and he raised his eyes to look at the cold and desolate palace: the palace people all went out obediently when he came in.
"Mom, don't think nonsense. I am my father's son. It's not my fault that Fu Chenan rebelled. He will never take action on me..."
On the other hand, if Fu Chenan really rebels, when he breaks into the capital, he will always need a legitimate heir to the throne to take this position.
By then, wouldn’t the person closest to him have a chance? !
It's just that he didn't dare to say this, for fear that the walls would have ears.
After appeasing her mother, not long after the seventh prince left, Qi Concubine received the imperial edict: Qi Concubine had merit in raising the seventh prince, and she would be promoted to concubine Qi.
Along with the imperial edict, there were also various ornaments.
Concubine Qi looked at the dazzling array of ornaments and imperial edicts, and felt that they were unreal.
Intuition told Concubine Qi: The reasons in the imperial edict are just excuses. The real reason is Fu Chenan...
Fu Chenan...that kid is so powerful now?
So bold?
He - dared to rebel? !
Concubine Qi covered her chest, feeling that her chest was very tight.
In such a precarious time, Qi Concubine, who has been unfavored for many years, is suddenly promoted to a concubine, which is weird no matter how you look at it.
Why? !
Is it because Fu Chenan was once the master of the Seventh Prince?
The emperor was afraid that Fu Chenan would rebel, so he planned to use the seventh prince as a check and balance? !
But the seventh prince is only twelve years old, is he too young?
Qinghui Hall, which had been deserted for a long time, suddenly became lively.
Many concubines came to inquire about the news and wanted to know the real reason why Concubine Qi suddenly became favored.
The emperor suddenly paid attention to the seventh prince's lessons, and even took them with him to teach him every day, and received many praises.
Under the emperor's "careful guidance", the seventh prince seemed to have brushed away the dust from his uncut jade, and gradually revealed his smart and agile side.
Several adult princes panicked...
