Chapter 94 Great Imperial Palace 12
Wei Ran silently thought about what to say in his heart, so he bowed to the empress dowager Mi and said, "The empress dowager's worries are really wrong. Although Meng Changjun is not a broad-minded person, he also has some talent. If he is not crazy, he will never attack Fuer. As the direct younger brother of the King of Qin, Fu'er is also your favorite son, which is enough to show the sincerity of our State of Qin. Moreover, if the Empress Dowager wants to establish Fu'er as a reserve, she must let him have enough achievements to rely on, otherwise she will inevitably be opposed by the Chinese people. This time, it is undoubtedly a great achievement for the State of Qi. There is no danger. The Empress Dowager, please think twice.
Wei Ran saw that Mi Tai's back color had been moved, but he was still hesitant. He couldn't help but take a step forward and whispered; "Now Fu'er's position is respected but has no merit, and his salary is thick and laborless. It is sealed with a place of ointment, and there are many important weapons, and all the ministers have long been delusions. If you force her to be the crown prince, you will inevitably be opposed, and the king will also have a different heart. If the empress dowager collapses and the king himself is in power, why will Fu'er be in the state of Qin? If the Empress Dowager really feels sorry for Fu'er, it's better to be far-reaching than limited to one corner.
Wei Ran's words really moved the Empress Dowager Mi. She bit her lip and nodded, "Brother, you're right. It's my sister's mistake. Well, you go and draw up the edict. Tomorrow's court will tell the Lord Zhao that the King of Qin is not feeling well, so he sent King Jingyang to Xingong to congratulate Master Zhao on behalf of the State of Qin.
Wei Ran suddenly interrupted again and said, "No, it's not just Fu'er, but also an escort."
The Empress Dowager Mi was stunned and said puzzled, "Who else?"
"The building is slow."
The Empress Dowager was stunned and immediately understood. The two of them laughed knowingly. Although Lou Huan is in the eyes of the State of Qin, he is a well-known prime minister of the State of Qin. Accompanying King Jing Yang to the State of Zhao is also righteous enough to show the sincerity of the King of Qin. And when it was extremely beneficial to Wei Ran, once Lou Huan went on a letter, he didn't even have the person who nominally sat on his head, and the phase that had been away for a long time would return to him sooner or later.
After Lou Qian returned to the State of Zhao, Zhao Yong must also understand the meaning of the State of Qin, and I'm afraid he will not send Lou Huan to forcibly serve as the prime minister of Qin again, unless Zhao Yong really intends to break with the State of Qin.
The Empress Dowager Mi smiled with a hearty smile, "Okay, then let Lou Xu accompany Fuer to the State of Zhao. Go and make an edict quickly."
"No." Wei Ran bowed down and was about to leave. Suddenly, he thought of something and said cautiously, "Empress dowager, it's better to consult the king first for the future edict."
"Second brother, you worry too much." Mi Rong waved his hand and said with a disapproval.
"My sister is Ji'er's mother, and we are his uncles. Can he have any objection to the decision we made? Besides, now my sister is in charge of the country. She is the one who has made a decision on all the affairs of the court. Wang Xi is also in her sister's hands. Why do you have to do this?
Wei Ran shook his head and sighed, "Third brother, how many times have I told you that the etiquette of kings and ministers should not be messed up. The king is the king, and our ministers are ministers. Now the king is no longer the hairy boy who just ascended the throne. He must have his own ideas. We greet him with the courtesy of kings and ministers, and we also respect him. Anyway, he is also our nephew, the direct son of the Empress Dowager, and is not an outsider.
Although Wei Ran's words seemed to be said to Mi Rong, it was actually said to the Empress Dowager Mi, but he just wanted to remind her to pay due attention to getting along with Yingji, the king of Qin.
But it was obvious that his reminder was not successful. The Empress Dowager Mi just waved her sleeve carelessly and smiled, "You don't have to worry about this. Ji'er is my own flesh and blood. Who knows his temperament better than me as a mother. Since he wants to be a king of peace and doesn't want to care about state affairs, why should we force him? Anyway, it's enough to have me and your uncle to make the decision for him.
Wei Ran wanted to say something else. Suddenly, his face changed and he was distracted for a moment. Suddenly, he drew his sword and strode out of the door and pierced the door with a fierce sword. Wei Ran was originally born as a general, and his arm strength was extraordinary in swordsmanship. Such wooden door "jumping" under his sword. Only a delicate cry was heard. A beautiful maid of honor collapsed on the ground with a pale face, and the tea in her hand fell to the ground.
Wei Ran raised his eyebrows, and the sword was across the neck of the maid of honor. He had recognized that the maid was Dongxue, the personal maid beside the empress dowager, and shouted harshly, "You dare to eavesdrop on the Empress Dowager talk to us and say, who instructed you?"
Dong Xue turned pale with fear, and her beautiful face was full of fear. She sat on the ground and trembled and said, "I... I don't have any maidservants. I just want to send some tea to the empress dowager. Please spare my life, spare my life."
"Since it's a gift for some refreshments, why are you secretly eavesdropping outside the door?"
"I'm wronged. I just want to listen to the Empress Dowager and the two gentlemen outside the door whether they are discussing things and whether they want to go in." Dongxue knelt on the ground with a pale face and looked at the Empress Dowager Mi with pleading eyes.
This winter snow has been following the Empress Dowager Mi since she was a child for ten years. She has always been clever and won the favor of the Empress Dowager Mi. When the Empress Dowager Mi saw her pleading eyes, she felt a little unbearable. She also felt that Wei Ran had made a fuss, so she came forward and said with a smile: "Well, well, Dongxue has followed me for many years and has been careful everywhere. She has never made any mistakes, and has never had any contact with people outside the palace. Brother, you are too nervous. I think this is just a misunderstanding.
Wei Ran saw that the Empress Dowager Mi had said so. Naturally, it was difficult to investigate it again. Then he waved his sword into the sheath and looked coldly at the winter snow on the ground without saying much.
"Get up." The Empress Dowager Mi gently held it up with her hand,
"Thank you, Empress Dowager." Dongxue quickly got up from the ground and thanked him. I cleaned up the broken things on the ground again.
After a new refreshment was handed over, Dong Xue left tremblingly.
Not long after leaving the Empress Dowager's bedroom, Dong Xue came to a garden in the palace and looked around carefully. Her face was a little angry. She gently poohed at the ground and cursed her conscienceless, so she turned around and wanted to leave.
Suddenly, I felt that it was dark in front of me, my eyes were covered, and I was soft behind me, and I was forcibly pulled into my arms. Dongxue was shocked and couldn't help opening her mouth, but she was held down by a pair of big hands and subconsciously opened her mouth and bit it away. At this time, a familiar voice came to my ear, and I only heard someone say with a smile in my ear: "Little baby, it's me."
Dong Xue's delicate body was shocked when she heard the words and loosened her mouth. Her body, which had just been struggling, slowly calmed down, but softly leaned against the man's arms behind her. When the man saw that she recognized him, he also let go of his hands. It was the laughing king of Qin Yingji. He shook the two deeply imprinted palms and said with a frivolous smile: "Why, you haven't seen me for a while, and you miss me so much."
Seeing that the tooth marks were very deep, Dong Xue quickly grabbed his hands and rubbed them with heartache. Then the pink fist gently pounded Ying Ji's chest and said coquettishly, "It's your fault. I know they are timid and scare others."
Ying Ji smiled and grabbed a pair of weak pink fists and said with a smile, "I don't want to give you a surprise. I didn't know you were so funny."
After a pause, he said with a tight face: "Little baby, did you hear what the Empress Dowager's uncle say?"
Dong Xue pouted the corners of her mouth and hummed; "Do you miss me or do you just want to know what to say?" Suddenly, he seemed to think of something and said alertly, "What do you always ask these questions? You are the king of Qin. Just ask openly."
Ying Ji laughed when he heard the words, and his face looked indifferent. He just hugged her and vowed, "Little baby is jealous. Of course, I miss you more. I asked you to listen. I just want to know what my mother is thinking and what they need, so that they can cater to her old man's wishes. When she is happy, I dare to ask her for you.
Two blushes flew up on the snow-to-white face, and the face was full of joy. You know, she is just a little maid of honor. Even if she is favored, she is just a maid of honor. The only good way is to be promised to others by the empress dowager. Being taken a fancy by the King of Qin, Mrs. Nawei must be the most perfect ending.
Dongxue's heart was sweet, and she would eavesdrop on it one by one outside the door. After listening to it, the smile on his face gradually disappeared, showing a thoughtful look. After a long time, he noticed that Dongxue had not left, so he smiled at her; "Well, you go back first, so as not to be suspicious after a long time."
Seeing that his face was solemn and he also knew the importance, Dong Xue was slightly blessed and left, leaving Ying Ji alone in his place.
"It's interesting." The corners of Yingji's mouth moved slightly, his smile was a little gloomy, and a sharp color flashed in his eyes.
"Little brother, little brother, it's not very good for you to be a Taiping marquis in Xianyang. Since you are unwilling, don't blame me for being cruel."
