The Queen Mother snorted coldly: "That's nice to say, but I haven't seen His Majesty come here to chat with an old guy like me. You brothers all have the same virtue. When you grow up and your wings harden, you can fly. If it hadn't been With Chu girl coming to accompany the Ai family every day to relieve their fatigue, I really can’t stay in this palace for another day.”
"What do you mean, my mother is not old at all. Who doesn't know that my mother was the most beautiful woman in Tianqi back then. What I admire most about my father in my life is that I can marry such a beautiful woman like my mother. Unlike my son, the harem Everything inside is filled with vulgar fat and powder, not even half as beautiful as the queen mother." Ji Qingchen said seriously.
"Smooth talk, I learned all these things from your father." The Queen Mother scolded with a smile.
Ji Qingchen chuckled, then glanced around a few times, wondering: "Why haven't I seen this girl Nian Yi today? Why is the Xingqing Palace so clean? If she were here on weekdays, it would be connected to the nearby Jianing Palace and Even Anqing Palace could be tormented by her."
"The Ai family was also wondering just now. In the past, if something happened and she couldn't come, she would order the servants to come to the palace to inform her. But today, no one came to report, and the girl was nowhere to be seen. The Ai family was worried that she might be Did we encounter any trouble on the road?" Speaking of her beloved adopted daughter, a trace of worry appeared on the Queen Mother's face.
"With Nian Yi's status, no one in the entire Tianqi land would dare to provoke her, let alone in Chang'an City. Unless..." Ji Qingchen frowned: "Unless she and the mountains in the city The monks had a conflict.
The people who came to Chang'an City to watch the battle between Longhu Mountain and Wudang Mountain this time were all prestigious elders from various sects, or the proud sons of the younger generation. Although Yigui was regarded as the princess, for these people For example, if they don't want to, even the emperor, Erchen, will not give him any face. "
"Duan Duan Jing is going to hold some kind of Taoist orthodox martial arts competition in the palace. Then so many people from the mountains will enter the palace. What will happen to the safety of your harem concubines and other brothers and sisters?" The Queen Mother complained: "Is it possible to count on you? Can this mortal emperor control those mountain gods?"
Ji Qingchen said with a smile: "Of course I can't control them, but I have sent shadow guards to monitor every place in Chang'an City. If it's just some wild cultivators from the mountains and rivers who are causing trouble, the shadow guards can still handle it.
As for those big sects, the seventh brother is also in the city now. Not to mention whether the seventh brother can be the opponent of these people, but after all, he is still the direct disciple of Mr. Dongfang in Tianyi Pavilion, even if it is Wudang Mountain and Longhu Mountain Such a sect would not want to be at odds with Tianyi Pavilion. "
"You are the emperor, so long as you think the arrangements are in place." The Queen Mother closed her eyes, "By the way, call Qingyuan over to have dinner with us. The Ai family hasn't seen him for several days."
"Seventh brother is not in the palace at this time. It is said that he has been away from home for too long. Now he is not very familiar with Chang'an City, so he has been wandering around the city with Li Yi, the commander of Tianlong Guard, in the past few days." Ji Qingchen said After finishing, he carefully looked at the Queen Mother's face.
As expected, the Queen Mother's face immediately turned ugly when she heard this, and she snorted coldly: "Wandering in the city? He has been running around the city with that Li Yi every day since he was born, how unfamiliar he can be. I'm afraid the Ai family has to do it every day. Have you visited Liu Ruyan’s restaurant?
Humph, if it weren’t for the Ai family back then..."
Hearing this, Ji Qingchen's heart moved and he asked cautiously: "Mother, I have always been puzzled by my son. Your fifth brother and I were brought up by your mother, so naturally we were kissed by you. Why did my mother wait until my seventh brother was born? You left for a while? I asked my father many times about this, but my father did not tell me."
The Queen Mother was silent for a long time, and finally sighed and said: "The Ai family cannot tell you about this yet, but you will know about it in the future."
"My son, I know." Ji Qingchen nodded, but he became more and more curious. Every time he asked about the matter of his father and mother, they were unwilling to mention it. Could there be some secret in it?
"It's all a lot of twists and turns, why don't you get down to business?" the Queen Mother reminded.
Ji Qingchen said "Ouch", "Look at my memory, I came here to discuss Yun Xi's marriage with my mother."
"Huh? Yun Xi, this girl, has reached the age of marriage so soon?" The Queen Mother was a little surprised.
"The Queen Mother has never paid much attention to Yun Xi, so it's normal that she can't remember..."
The Queen Mother nodded and said: "This girl is a good girl, but she is too dull and not as lively as Nianyi. But thinking about it carefully, the Ai family really paid too little attention to her, and she is really a little ashamed of her biological mother. Your Majesty has already done this for her. Has she chosen her husband’s family?”
"In three days' time, there will be a competition between Master Zhang from Wudang Mountain and Lu Tianshi from Longhu Mountain. It is also Yun Xi's birthday. At that time, heroes from all sects will gather in the palace. What I am thinking about is , if there are some young talents among them, with excellent teachers and good character, maybe we can get along with them, and if we can like Yun Xi, it will be better." Ji Qingchen said.
"Can these immortal masters on the mountain look down on mortal women?" the Queen Mother asked.
"My fair lady, you are a good gentleman. The appearance of this girl Yun Xi is second to none in my Tianqi. I think that even those who practice Taoism may not be tempted by her." After saying this, As he spoke, Ji Qingchen quietly stretched his neck and looked at the Queen Mother's face.
This idea was somewhat selfish for him. If he could marry the royal princess to a high-ranking family in the mountains, it might be a big help to the royal family in the future. Although it is a bit unfair to Yun Xi, the royal family has always been the most ruthless.
As a princess of the royal family, in a sense, her destiny was destined to be a tool for royal marriage from the day she was born.
The Queen Mother stretched out her fingers and tapped the armrest of the chair. After being silent for a while, she said, "This matter needs to be handled better. Before her death, Concubine Xi told the Ai family that she must find someone for Yun Xi in the future. A good husband. Don’t marry Yun Xi just because of her school background. After all, she is still my princess of Tianqi, and she should marry in a glamorous manner and not suffer the slightest injustice."
Ji Qingchen breathed a sigh of relief and hurriedly said: "My son, I obey. Yun Xi is also my sister. I will not hurt her, and I will definitely choose a suitable husband for her."
The Queen Mother nodded and closed her eyes again.
"One more thing, Queen Mother, since the seventh brother has returned to Tianqi and has achieved some success in cultivating Taoism, how about I send him to assist General Chu in the army?" Ji Qingchen asked.
The Queen Mother waved her hand, "Don't worry about this matter. You three brothers, you are
