Although Jin Xida has not returned to Beijing, the celebration banquet at Xia’s house is still full of guests.

Among the female guests today, there are two little distinguished guests from Shu Yao, the fourth princess Qi Sihan and the princess Yue Qi Yueling.

The Empress Dowager couldn't stand their mumbling and kept grinning in her ears. She sent her father-in-law Shunzi to the Xia House, retrieved three posts, and sent one to Prince Yong's mansion to Qi Haoning, asking Qi Haoning to go to the palace to pick up two sisters and go to Xia House together.

Qi Haoning was happy when he read the post. He was about to visit Shujie at Xia's house. A few days ago, he received the southwest local specialty sent to him by his father. Suddenly, he saw a strange secret note that Jin Xida had told him. He took out a sealed scroll of paper with the word "Jie" on it, and knew that it was a letter of peace that he asked him to hand it to Shujie.

Early this morning, Qi Haoning was about to go out when Yunxiao walked in and curled his lips: "The woman brought the eldest lady and the third young master over here, and was waiting in the flower hall."

Qi Haoning walked out with a "hmm" and knew that the "woman" in Yunxiao's mouth refers to Concubine Zhao.

When he entered the flower hall, 11-year-old Qi Haoxiang rushed over and muttered, "Second brother, take me to see the emperor's grandmother, I'm going to the palace too." Concubine Zhao also stood up to greet him and said affectionately, "Ning'er, have you finished practicing? Xiang'er is trying to go to the palace with you, so you can bring Xin'er with you."

13-year-old Qi Yuexin stood there cutely: "Second brother, I haven't seen my little sister for a long time, please take me with you."

Qi Haoning snorted coldly in his heart and replied with a "difficult" look on his face: "Yue'er was scared when she saw you. Yesterday, she was still muttering about the last time you pushed her into the lotus pond. You might as well not go, so as to avoid the emperor's grandmother's face. Xiang'er is the same. You can go when the emperor's grandmother gets angry."

Qi Yuexin's little face turned pale immediately. It was already a year ago. Why was that dead girl still talking? At that time, they were playing by the artificial lake in the Imperial Garden. She looked at the dead girl wearing a new dress made of shining silk from the foreign tribe. She was so jealous that she was full of all kinds of "unfair" treatment between her and the dead girl...

Seeing that there was no one around. The palace maid of the dead girl went back to get her some snacks. She reached out and pushed the dead girl down. Then she shouted with her close maid: "Help, help, Princess Yue fell into the water." But a concubine was not far away. When she heard that Princess Yue fell into the water, she quickly seized the opportunity to please the empress dowager. Without saying a word, she ran over and jumped into the pond to save the dead girl. The concubine came from the Jiangnan Water Town, and the water quality was very good.

The empress dowager personally interrogated her, and of course she would not admit it, insisting that Qi Yueling had her feet slipped and fell into the water. She was also a granddaughter, but the emperor's grandmother only believed in the words of the dead girl. If the second brother had not believed in her and said that the dead girl was acting like a child, the emperor's grandmother would have someone beat her on the spot. Therefore, she did not dare to rely on her second brother to take her into the palace for a year.

After hearing Qi Haoning's words, Concubine Zhao's face turned pale.

Although she was the one who took care of the affairs in the palace, she was the concubine and the concubine who was not favored by the empress dowager. She came forward to discuss the marriage between her children, which was not very strong. Those families she liked would probably find various excuses to refuse. Xin'er is 13 years old this year, and by the end of October, she will be 14.

The prince didn't know when he would return to Beijing, and the empress dowager "wouldn't remember" that there were other grandchildren and granddaughters in Prince Yong's mansion. How could she expect her to take the initiative to give Xin'er a marriage?

The empress dowager is very proud. As long as she gives her marriage, there will definitely be no bad things. How can she say that Qi Yuexin is the daughter of Prince Yong?

However, everyone knows that there are many granddaughters and granddaughters of the Queen Mother, but not many can get her to marry.

Therefore, she always asked Qi Haoning to bring Qi Yuexin and Qi Haoxiang into the palace. Qi Haoning has always been close to her and her children. Last time, Xin'er made a bad thing, and if Qi Haoning had not believed her, the Empress Dowager would not have let Xin'er go.

But what Qi Haoning said just now? "I was still muttering about the last time you pushed her into the lotus pond." Why does it sound like this is wrong? He doesn't believe Xin'er anymore?

Qi Haoning didn't care about the blue and white faces of the mother and son, and smiled faintly: "Okay, I'm leaving, otherwise, Yue'er would blame me for being late again." Every time he wanted to enter the palace, the mother and son would appear "in time".

After Qi Haoning said that, he turned around and left.

Qi Haoxiang said aggrievedly: "Mother, does your second brother don't like me anymore? He didn't know how he used to be."

Qi Yuexin said angrily: "It must be that dead girl who kept saying bad things in my second brother's ears, so she couldn't believe that my second brother was better to us than her."

Concubine Zhao suddenly felt palpitations. Yes, last time Qi Haoning sneaked to the southwest alone, and after turning back halfway, she changed her whole body. She was no longer as intimate as before, and she would no longer tell her when she left the house and when she would go back.

She was surprised and scared at the time. Didn’t her brother say that Feiying is very powerful? Why can’t she even kill a fourteen-year-old child? And she also told Qi Haoning who is the employer?

But her brother told her that someone found that the Black Hawk master and disciple died. Black Hawk's habit was to tell the employer when he killed someone. However, if he couldn't kill someone, he would rather die than say it. Since the Black Hawk was killed by Qi Haoning, Qi Haoning would not know anything from the Feiying's mouth.

As long as it was not a Black Hawk leak, Concubine Zhao would not be worried. If she had to suspect Concubine Tian and the eldest son, she would have doubted Concubine Tian and the eldest son. She had "not known" that Qi Haoning sneaked out of the capital. Moreover, Qi Haoning had been instilled by her since she was a child that "Concubine Tian and the eldest son" were not good people, and he also witnessed or heard a lot of things with his own eyes.

She also told Qi Hao that Prince Ning Yong did not like Concubine Tian’s mother and son. At that time, the imperial physician said that Prince Yong’s condition had improved, but she went back to her parents’ home and asked Concubine Tian to take care of her for a day, so the princess couldn’t do it. However, the imperial physician examined the medicine residue and diet that day, but found no problem.

She was not worried that Qi Haoning would say these words to the prince or the queen mother. What she said was "facts". Not only Prince Yong, but also the queen mother, she also did not like Concubine Tian because of her suspicion of the cause of the princess' death.

Since knowing that Qi Haoning had killed Black Eagle, the only thing Zhao Concubine Zhao was that she didn't know when Qi Haoning was so powerful in martial arts. Even the top killers in the world were killed by him. How could she get rid of him?

The Empress Dowager was very careful about her. After the princess' cousin died, the Empress Dowager not only disliked Concubine Tian, ​​but also disliked her. However, the Empress Dowager was indifferent to her before, but she liked Concubine Tian very much.

Because of the Empress Dowager's defense, Qi Haoning's mother, maid, and personal guard Yunxiao were all rewarded by the Empress Dowager from the palace, and they were all very smart. She didn't dare to attack in the mansion, so she waited until Qi Haoning secretly sneaked out of the capital, but unfortunately...

After that time, the people around Qi Haoning became more careful, and even Qi Haoning seemed to be starting to be prepared.

Qi Haoning received the emperor's permission and sent someone to send him to the southwest, but she didn't know. It took a few days later that Luo's mother in Qi Haoning's yard would tell her when she asked again, and she said it was the news just given to the palace.

After returning to Beijing this time, Qi Haoning has been so quiet, as if there were changes, and there seemed to be no changes, and she couldn't figure it out.

...

"Mother, Mother, what are you thinking?" Qi Haoxiang's call pulled back the wandering thoughts of Concubine Zhao.

No, she scared herself. How could the things she had established after more than ten years of hard work be so easily defeated? Even if Qi Haoning was suspicious, she was just suspicious that someone wanted him to die, and she would not doubt her. If she really doubted, she would still hide it so well? A child who was only fifteen years old, who was brought up from childhood, was so complex and deep?

It should be that the empress dowager said something provocative to him recently. A few years ago, the empress dowager said something. When she returned to the palace, Qi Haoning said it all, now...

Concubine Zhao felt very annoyed.

Qi Haoning walked out of the palace and hummed disdainfully. His father said that he would be patient, and that things without evidence would be unfavorable to him. After all, over the years, Concubine Zhao's "meticulous care" for him was well known to everyone. Moreover, his return to the capital safely could scare Concubine Zhao. She should not dare to do anything else in a short period of time.

However, the father gave him a shadow guard and protected him like a shadow.

The father also said that he was fifteen years old and could go out for training. When Yue'er's eighth birthday in July, the emperor would ask him to follow General Haiyong to Guangdong City in the South China Sea. General Haiyong was the father who trained and promoted the general, good at naval battles. He was sent to the South China Sea to stand alone two years ago and would report his duties in the capital next month.

...

Qi Haoning arrived at Cining Palace before the appointment. Yue'er and Sihan were still waiting on the stone tables and chairs in the yard and were impatient.

This is the first time they both left the palace to attend a banquet. They were very excited and got up early in the morning and waited here after breakfast.

The queen mother smiled and shook her head, saying to Mama Liu: "You follow me personally. As soon as these two little birds flew out, they were afraid that their wings would flap and they would forget all the rules."

As soon as he saw Qi Haoning's figure, Yue'er and the others rushed over: "Brother, why are you always late?"

The Empress Dowager laughed: "The Emperor's Grandmother testified that you really wronged your brother this time. Not only was he not late, but he was still early. The agreed time has not yet arrived. Also, you two should not just play. Remember to tell Brother Jie and the others that the Imperial Doctor has confirmed that the Emperor's Grandmother's diabetes has basically been cured, so let them give their mother a incense stick."

The Queen Mother is in a very good mood recently. The diabetes that has been troubled for more than ten years has basically no symptoms. The Queen is pregnant again. Since the Emperor used the pills presented by Shujie and his sister, the headache has disappeared and the spirit has become more energetic, which makes her feel relieved. The Emperor has been working hard day and night since he ascended the throne, and has a headache every few days. How can she not worry about being a mother? (To be continued.
