Half an hour later, Jia Qi left the Taihe Palace with a strange expression. This meeting was different from what he had imagined. Emperor Taikang was not angry, suppressed, or threatening. He himself was a little surprised by this. , after all, it was his power that was shaken by his return to Beijing.
When he came out of Taihe Palace, a young eunuch led him out of the palace. As soon as he turned around the corridor, Jia Qi suddenly stopped, as if he had figured out something, and couldn't help laughing.
Today's incident, from his point of view, really doesn't mean much, but from the perspective of the entire court, it is of great significance. Once he comes to Taihe Palace, no matter what Emperor Taikang's attitude is, does it matter? It doesn't seem to be important.
As for what he said, I'm afraid it's even less important. From the moment he stepped here, his goal had already been achieved.
Today, both days are hanging together. As a new upstart in the current dynasty, if Emperor Taikang has not taken any action, then the martial arts forces who follow him and the elders of the Taikang Dynasty may feel strange in their hearts.
After all, Fan Yuanhe was slapped in the face before, and that was the spokesperson placed by Emperor Taikang in the court. All the civil and military officials in the court knew this very well.
If Emperor Taikang didn't express anything about this, it would inevitably lead to people thinking that Emperor Taikang was no longer able to serve in court and was declining, so people like Wu Xun would have to find their own way out.
What happened today was Emperor Taikang's attitude. Although he didn't know why Emperor Taikang's attitude took a 180-degree turn in the end, he was not worried. In one sentence, it was in his hand. I have a gun and don’t panic.
After Jia Qi left, Emperor Taikang stood up from his knees and was silent for a moment. He said coldly to Xia Cheng, the eunuch in charge of the Taihe Palace: "Xia Cheng, go and find out who Jia Qi's biological mother is? Before you get married, I want to know whoever the Jia Qi Mansion has had contact with before, no matter whether it is a man or a woman, no matter how big or small it is!!"
When Xia Cheng heard this, he was stunned and his eyes were a little suspicious. What did his master find? But he didn't dare to ask, he just bowed and took the order and left.
After Xia Cheng left, Emperor Taikang stood there, silent for a long time, and then sighed softly, his expression becoming a little lonely.
When Jia Qi returned to the Hou Mansion, the sky was already dark. Listening to Xu Yuanhui's report, those who had been brought back by him had been temporarily placed in the Snow Dragon Cavalry Camp. Emperor Mingkang had issued an imperial edict this afternoon. While expanding the Dakang Shipyard, someone will be sent to take these people away tomorrow. Jia Qi nodded lightly after hearing this.
Emperor Mingkang's vigorous and resolute behavior was quite to his liking. Then two more little guys ran over, it was Xiangling and Qingwen.
"uncle!!"
"uncle!!"
Seeing the surprise on their faces, Jia Qi's mood improved. He didn't know what he thought of, so he asked casually: "Where is Cai Luan?"
Xiangling blinked and then said: "I went out with Erniu and I haven't come back yet!"
Hearing this, Jia Qi nodded. This matter was his order. Cai Luan was proficient in poison. She might have something to do with the side effects of the pill, so he asked Cai Luan to go outside the city to see if there was any. There are ways to suppress this side effect.
"By the way, a man named Dai Quan came and brought ten dishes to the uncle!"
Speaking of this, Xiang Ling's eyes lit up. The dishes were in the insulated box and had never completely cooled down. The taste was the same as what she had eaten before.
Seeing Xiang Ling like this, Jia Qi couldn't help but laugh. The expression of this little girl now was exactly the same as when she was in Yangzhou.
"Qingwen, go and ask Miaoyu to come over, Xiangwei, and prepare hot water. I want to take a bath. When your sister Cailuan comes back, we will have dinner together!"
Xiangling and Qingwen responded. Qingwen turned from the hanging flower door to the backyard, while Xiangling greeted the maids in Jia Qi's bedroom and asked them to prepare hot water, and then followed Jia Qi away. Come in.
"Uncle, I'm coming~"
Seeing that Jia Qi was about to take off his armor, Xiang Ling hurried over and said softly.
When Jia Qi heard this, he shook his head and smiled, but did not stop moving, "It's not like you don't have hands~"
Xiangling pouted her lips, "You have done everything, uncle, so what else do you want me to do! I am here to serve you!" Although she said that, her hands and feet were not slow, and she quickly took Jia Qi's hand. Taken off (this chapter is not finished yet!)
Chapter 172 The uncle is more powerful than the tiger
The Mingguang armor was hung on a hanger on one side, and then he took a moon-white robe and helped Jia Qi put it on.
Then he took a pair of Tang clogs from the shoe cabinet and helped Jia Qi change his boots. Looking at the little girl who couldn't take any time off at this moment, Jia Qi curled up his lips and for some reason, returned to the Hou Mansion and saw This little girl, his mood suddenly became very good.
Just when Xiang Ling was putting on Jia Qi's shoes, Jia Qi bent down, stretched out his hand, and pulled the little girl into his arms. Before Xiang Ling could react, she flew up and hit Jia Qi with her head. Xin's chest.
"Yeah~"
The little girl exclaimed, but when she reacted, the familiar smell in her memory flooded into her nose. Her body stiffened, her little head shrank, her petite body curled up, and her little hands subconsciously tightened. He clutched Jia Qi's clothes tightly and closed his eyes tightly, not daring to open them.
Jia Qi couldn't help but chuckle when he saw that the little girl's ears were red and she was lying motionless in his arms. He stretched out his hand, held the little girl's shoulders, and pulled her back. Looking at the little girl's eyelashes that were like bead curtains trembling slightly, but her eyes tightly closed, Jia Qi smiled again.
"We haven't seen each other for just a day, why are you so nervous? The day before yesterday, I crawled under the bed with your sister Cai Luan!" Hearing this, Xiang Ling's shoulders trembled, and she pushed hard into Jia Qi's arms. Here, he said softly.
"Uncle~"
Seeing this, Jia Qi smiled again and stopped talking. He just held the girl in his arms gently. Maybe it was because his life was better. The little girl was not as skinny as before, but plump and chubby. The arms are soft and boneless, very comfortable.
"Do you miss home? The Chinese New Year is in five or six days. Can you and I go back to Jinling to visit?"
Hearing Jia Qi's words, the little girl was stunned for a moment, and then whispered: "Home is where the uncle is! Yinglian is not going anywhere!"
When Jia Qi heard these words, a trace of tenderness flashed in his heart. Between people, such unintentional actions are often more touching. He knew the little girl's temperament and was not the kind of person to flatter her. Most of the words she said were What I say in my heart is that it is even more pitiful.
Jia Qi sighed softly, "Don't worry, you won't be able to run away even if you are in the hands of the uncle, but they are your biological parents. If you can find them, don't leave any regrets. They will not be short of food in the house. If you want to fulfill your filial piety now, I don’t have the chance!"
Xiangling seemed to hear the sentimentality in Jia Qi's words, and whispered again: "Master, don't be sad, I will... Sister Cailuan and I will be with you!"
Jia Qi shook his head slightly, stared into the distance, and said with a smile: "Then I will accompany you to Jinling to relax."
Xiang Ling did not hesitate this time and nodded her head gently.
"Yeah~"
There was another exclamation from the other side of the door, and then it stopped suddenly, as if someone had covered the mouth.
Xiangling blushed. She recognized Qingwen's voice and wanted to get out of Jia Qi's arms quickly, but she found that Jia Qi didn't seem to want to let go, so she couldn't help but said softly: "Uncle, I..." .”
…
"Qingwen, uncle said, let you wait for a while to take a bath~"
When Qingwen heard this, her pretty face turned red and she pulled Xiangling's arm, feeling a little panicked.
"Sister Xiangling~"
Xiangling shook her head helplessly, "I'll go too..."
Qingwen couldn't help but swallowed, with a bit of embarrassment on her face. Coming from Jia Chu's house, she was well aware of the tricks of those men. At that time, she heard from the maids in the mansion that during the Chinese New Year last year, Zhen Zhen in Dongfu The uncle had been fighting with the two maids in the house all night! Listen to them, this is called double flying.
Now that Jia Qi asked the two of them to go there together, did she already have this in mind? She felt uneasy for a moment.
"Come quickly~"
Xiangling turned her head and reached the door. She heard no movement behind her, so she turned her head and saw Qingwen in a daze. She couldn't help but remind her again.
Qingwen's face turned bitter, "Xiang Ling, I..."
Looking at Xiangling, Qingwen didn't dare to say that I didn't want to go.
After a stick of incense, Qingwen's face turned red and she helped Jia Qi change clothes with Xiang Ling.
"Qingwen (this chapter is not finished yet!)
Chapter 172 The uncle is more powerful than the tiger
, is Miss Miaoyu here? "
Qingwen blushed and said, "Miss Miaoyu is here and is waiting in the front hall!"
Jia Qi nodded and said: "You two should change your clothes too! Don't catch a cold. Once you've changed, let's go to the front hall together!"
Then Jia Chu left first, leaving only Xiang Ling and Qing Wen in the room. Looking at Jia Chu leaving, Qing Wen slowly breathed a sigh of relief.
"I was scared to death! I thought we were going to fight!!"
Hearing these Yunliwuli words, Xiangling was stunned, "Qingwen, are you out of your mind?? What crazy things are you talking about?? Fighting?? We have small arms and legs, and the uncle slaps us You can shoot us to death!!"
Qingwen was a little embarrassed. How should she explain this to Xiangling? The fight she was talking about was not an ordinary fight. She had heard from Lai's mother who adopted her before that in that kind of fight, no matter how powerful a man is, he cannot beat a woman.
It is said that there is no plowed field, only exhausted cows.
Although she didn't quite understand what it meant, she remembered the most essential part, that is, a man cannot beat a woman.
"Sister Xiangling, that's not what I'm talking about!! Mother Lai also told me that when a man fights with us women, even if he is as fierce as a tiger, his legs will be weak in the end!"
Xiangling changed her clothes and said with a smile: "Change your clothes quickly! I don't believe it! You are talking about ordinary people, not the uncle. The uncle is much more powerful than a tiger!!"
Qingwen: "……."
