Chapter 191 Ji Youfu gives a gift
Bi Yuntao, Xue Ruyue and Huang Guifei came to Linde Hall together.
Bi Yuntao was like a rural person entering the city. He felt that his eyes were not enough. This was his first time entering the palace. Everything he saw was strange, especially along the way. Although he had seen some scenes on TV before, After experiencing it personally, I still deeply admire the architectural craftsmanship of the ancients.
Especially when passing by Taiye Pond, Taiye Pond was more than twice as big as his mansion, and it was full of beautiful koi and other rare fish.
Now when he came to the Linde Hall, it was so magnificent and inlaid with gold and silver that he drooled. Look at these pillars made of golden nanmu. It would take three people to form a circle. If they were all converted into money, he would Are you still afraid that you won't be able to support that foodie Qiuzhu? Even if she eats Haisei every day until she dies, she won't be able to eat him enough.
Just when Bi Yuntao was drooling looking at the room full of gold and silver, Xue Ruyue followed the imperial concubine to the inner hall.
"Ru Yue, I will take you to meet the Empress Dowager and the Emperor first. These days, the Empress Dowager is deeply guilty of your disappearance. She talks about it every day. If she hadn't been a matchmaker for you and the eldest prince because of her confusion, you Nor will my suffering be in vain.”
"It's not the Queen Mother's fault." Xue Ruyue lowered her head and whispered, "Ruyue was also at fault. If she hadn't rushed out of the dining hall, she wouldn't have suffered this disaster."
Xue Ruyue lowered her head and followed behind the imperial concubine, while the imperial concubine walked in front and did not see Xue Ruyue's blushing cheeks. As he walked, he gave instructions loudly.
"After you go in, the emperor or the empress dowager will definitely ask you what happened that night. You must explain it clearly in an exaggerated way, preferably with tears in your eyes."
"What does this mean?" Xue Ruyue asked in confusion, "Imperial Concubine, aren't you asking me to deceive you?"
"Oh, you don't have to worry about these, you just need to do as I say." Seeing that she didn't understand her intention, the imperial concubine quickly explained, "The empress dowager is soft-hearted and doesn't want to see the people around her suffer. You should exaggerate a little. Say that you can incite the Empress Dowager's sympathy and ask her to compensate you."
"The Emperor is a filial person. He knows that no matter how exaggerated you are, he will not expose your lies in person and let the Queen Mother compensate you."
"Oh!" Xue Ruyue knew the imperial concubine's intention this time and nodded as if she understood.
"But remember, you must not accept the reward the Empress Dowager gives you. When the Empress Dowager asks you what reward you want, just tell the truth about the difficulties your family is facing and ask the Emperor to help you solve the problem."
"In this way, your purpose of coming to Beijing this time can be considered to be achieved. You only need to wait peacefully for the emperor to send someone to return to Aurous Hill with you."
Only then did Xue Ruyue remember that her mother was still waiting for news about her! So many things have happened these days that I have forgotten this matter.
Xue Ruyue nodded quickly, this was not bad, and she was a blessing in disguise. It is more reliable for the emperor to speak personally than for the empress to do so.
"Have you remembered everything I said?" The imperial concubine was afraid that Xue Ruyue would forget what she had just said when she turned around and warned again, "You must never accept the Empress Dowager's compensation. You have to ask the Empress Dowager what compensation you want. Otherwise, all your suffering will be in vain, and you won't even be able to achieve the purpose of your visit to Beijing this time."
"Got it!" Xue Ruyue nodded solemnly. This matter was related to her family, so she would definitely be cautious.
"Just remember it, let's go in now!" The imperial concubine looked at Xue Ruyue's cautious face and knew that she had listened to everything she said. Then he opened the door and led Xue Ruyue into the room.
"Brother! Why are you dazed?" Meng Ruolang patted Bi Yuntao's shoulder while he was having sex.
"Oh! It turns out to be you! I was shocked." Bi Yuntao suddenly came back to his senses and turned to look at Meng Ruolang, who was smiling playfully at the side, "Where are your father and your sister? Why didn't they come?"
"My father was called over by General Xia Jie to talk. As for my sister!" Meng Ruolang smiled mysteriously, "She is probably sulking in the inner hall now! I don't know who it is, but she is living with a beautiful woman in the mountains. Three days. After I came back, I didn’t go out or take any steps towards the second door, and I didn’t even mention looking for her, which made her worry in vain for three days.”
"Uh..." What an oversight! He actually forgot about this jealous person. After returning home, he was either teasing Xiaolan every day or on the way to teasing Xiaolan. He had already forgotten Meng Ruoxi.
Bi Yuntao didn't need to think about it to know what Meng Ruoxi's face was like now. She must be livid and trying to figure out how to deal with him.
"Ahem!" Bi Yuntao coughed twice to cover up his embarrassment, "How can a woman let me bend down to meet her in person? Since you are worried about me, you don't know how to go to my palace to visit me, and now you still follow me If you are angry with me, where will you put me? I will see Meng Ruoxi later and see how I will deal with her."
"Oh! Then I'll wait and see!" Meng Ruolang looked playfully at Bi Yuntao, who had a swollen face and pretended to be fat. He could also take advantage of his sister's absence to show off his power and wait for the banquet to start later, when his sister would come over. He wanted to see who was better between his eldest brother and his sister.
"That's right!" Bi Yuntao said with a guilty conscience, "Don't you see who I am? Your sister has been obedient to me for a long time, and she definitely doesn't dare to show her teeth to me in public."
"His Royal Highness King Qi, Mr. Meng, what are you two talking about? You are talking and laughing. I wonder if you can share something with me?" As soon as Bi Yuntao finished speaking, Ji Youfu led his two sons, Ji Wuli and Ji Taimei came over.
"It turns out to be Mr. Ji! I apologize for being a little distant." Hearing this, Bi Yuntao and Meng Ruolang turned their heads to look at the person coming. Bi Yuntao smiled and bowed his hands, even the polite words he said were It's the donkey's lip that is not the horse's mouth.
"Haha!" Ji Youfu is an old man after all. He twitched the corner of his mouth a few times and returned the greeting calmly, "His Royal Highness, Prince Qi, you are so polite. You are one of the best among men. How could I please welcome you in person?" Woolen cloth?"
"These are Lao Chan's two sons. Your Highness Ji Wuli has already met you. This is Lao Chan's youngest son Ji Taimei. He just returned to Beijing these days." Ji Youfu changed the subject without leaving any trace, pointing at Ji Taimei. Said, "Tai Mei, come and see His Highness King Qi."
"Ji Taimei has met His Highness Prince Qi!" Ji Taimei listened to his father's introduction and quickly stepped forward to bow.
. . .
Ji Tai sleeps? Chicken, are you too beautiful? How do you feel about my brother? !
Bi Yuntao looked at Ji Taimei strangely, and a familiar figure flashed in his mind. He was playing basketball and dancing as a rapper. He was still talking plausibly. He had a middle parted head and suspenders. I am ikun. Remember!
"His Royal Highness King Qi?" Seeing Bi Yuntao staring blankly at Ji Taimei and not letting him get up, Ji Youfu quickly reminded him.
"Oh! It turns out to be Brother Taimei! Please forgive me for missing you from afar!" Bi Yuntao came back to his senses, his attitude was completely different from when he saw Ji Youfu just now, and he politely reached out to help Ji Taimei. "I just remembered something. I offended you so much. Please forgive me!"
You're welcome! If he takes out the basketball when he gets angry and wants to fight with him, he won't be able to hold it!
"Oh, I wonder what Mr. Ji has to do with me?" Bi Yuntao said straight to the point, "Is it because of Ji Wuli's apology? Mr. Ji can rest assured that if Mr. Ji is so concerned, I will naturally go to the appointment."
"This..." Ji Youfu looked embarrassed when he saw Bi Yuntao being so direct.
"Master Ji, I just say it's okay!" Bi Yuntao waved his hand and said it didn't matter. After all, his brother was here, so he had to be cowardly.
"I'll tell you the truth!" Ji Youfu hesitated and then said, "I brought my son here this time, specifically to apologize to His Highness, Prince Qi!"
"Quick, Wu Li, hurry up and give the prepared gifts to His Highness King Qi!" Ji Wuli heard this and quickly took out a Tang Sancai from his sleeve and handed it to Bi Yuntao respectfully.
"This is my little wish. Please accept it, His Highness Prince Qi!"
As the saying goes, don't hit someone with a smiling face. Although Bi Yuntao was a little unhappy, who made Ji Youfu keep his attitude low? He accepted the pony made of Tang Sancai without any pretense.
Seeing Bi Yuntao accepting this thing, Ji Youfu and the other three people all breathed a sigh of relief. Ji Youfu said with a smile, "Your Highness, Prince Qi, this is a small gift, please bear with me."
"So, the dinner treat that we agreed on is gone?" Bi Yuntao said unhappily, "I am quite looking forward to it!"
"His Royal Highness King Qi is really sorry!" Ji Youfu looked a little embarrassed and said embarrassment, "Actually, the old man has made a living for the child recently. After the Queen Mother's birthday, the child will travel far away! And the old man comes to visit these days. I visited you all but was turned away by the maids in your house, so I had no choice but to make this decision and give you a gift today to apologize!"
"Oh! So that's it!" Bi Yuntao nodded clearly, "Then let me first congratulate Brother Wu Li on his success!"
"That's right! Master Ji, which maid are you seeing?" I didn't hear Xiaolan tell me about Ji Youfu and the others' visit! Bi Yuntao pondered for a moment, it couldn't be that short, fat guy!
"She's just a little girl with a short stature and baby fat. She looks a bit silly!" Ji Youfu said.
It was indeed her fault! This was revenge for letting her clean the yard alone. He deliberately sent back everyone who came to see him! I said that I was a perfect King of Qi, but I had been missing for three days, and how come there wasn’t even a single person to visit me! It turns out that it was all that short, fat guy who was blocking it! Ruo Xi was probably sent away by her too. Let’s see if I’m hungry when I get back and I’ll have a few meals with you.
Bi Yuntao was so angry that he was so angry when he thought that that short, fat guy had caused so many things to him behind his back for no reason!
"His Royal Highness Prince Qi has nothing to do, so I will take my son over there to reminisce about old times!" Ji Youfu saw Bi Yuntao gnashing his teeth with an angry expression on his face, and led Ji Wuli and Ji Taimei to leave with lingering fear.
"Oh!" Bi Yuntao was patted by Meng Ruolang without leaving any trace. He came to his senses and hurriedly returned the favor with a fist, "Mr. Ji, you're so polite! Next time you have a chance to sit down at my palace! Let's have a good chat!"
"Definitely next time!" Ji Youfu replied politely, leading his two sons away as if they were running away.
"Zizzizi!" They walked away, and Meng Ruolang said angrily, "Ji Youfu is very considerate! He actually gave you such a big gift, eldest brother!"
"Big gift?" Bi Yuntao lowered his head and looked carefully at the pony made of Tang Sancai in his hand, but no matter how he looked at it, he couldn't tell how valuable it was. "Is this toy worth a lot of money?"
Meng Ruolang twitched the corner of her mouth, how short of money the eldest brother is! Why is it that my first thought is to sell it for money?
"Brother, look at the auspicious clouds under the horse's hooves. These are nine-color auspicious clouds. The horses are galloping, which means that they can advance smoothly. It symbolizes that any difficulties and obstacles can be smoothed out in front of the holder, and it also symbolizes that anything can be done. Everything can be done immediately.”
"Look carefully at the horse. This is Ziyanliu. Emperor Wen of the Han Dynasty had nine good horses called 'Jiuyi'. One of them was 'Purple Yanliu'. In the Han Dynasty, horses were a symbol of wealth. So it also symbolizes that the holder can be prosperous and wealthy.”
"Brother, you don't do business, otherwise if this horse is placed in the hands of a businessman, it will mean that there are many horses and horses in the house."
"Ji~" Bi Yuntao looked at Meng Ruolang's clear and logical explanation, and felt that the Tang Sancai in his hand was as heavy as a thousand pieces of gold. They all want to put it at home now and burn incense and offer it.
Just when Meng Ruolang's words were sound, Ji Wuli complained to Ji Youfu, "Father, you finally got such a valuable thing and gave it away like this?"
"Wu Li, you don't understand!" Ji Youfu explained, "Don't look down on King Qi as a fool, but this man is a father who cannot see through, and there have been things going on around him since he was named King of Qi by the emperor. It’s constant, but have you seen him being severely punished by the emperor? Every time he didn’t get out of the incident easily, it was others who were implicated.”
"Now look at that old guy Shen Jianqiang. He got a son from old age, but he offended King Qi, and now he's been blown to pieces." Ji Youfu said with lingering fear, "You and King Qi don't have any big grudges in the first place. .This time King Qi accepted the gift of apology. Even if you have resolved your grievances, you should stay away from the city in the future, just to avoid conflicts with King Qi in the future."
"And Tai Mei, too. When you do things around the second prince in the future, remember to be more cautious. When you are in doubt, consult your father. Remember not to act out of emotion! Especially when it comes to Prince Qi's affairs."
"I understand!" Ji Taimei and the two agreed in unison.
