The princess only wants to get rich and support her family

This small shabby house in the courtyard was naturally their home, but since the cuckoo had taken over the magpie's nest, they had no choice but to choose another place to live.

Qi Sili probably guessed what they were thinking, so he stood up, walked down the stairs in a square step, and followed them, shouting, "If you think I'm in the way, I'll set off for Beiqiu."

The couple was in sync with each other. They stopped and turned around, kneeling down quickly: "Farewell, Your Majesty."

Qi Sili, who was already unhappy because of the unpleasant experience he had with Hu Luanfei before, was now even more furious with the two of them.

They worked well together as a couple and he couldn't find any fault with them. It seemed like he was asking for trouble by coming here.

In fact, he knew what the final result of his visit to Taohua Village would be. He just didn't want to believe it, and always thought that Hu Luanfei was still the imperial maid who valued power so much.

Unfortunately, things change and people change.

She has long been someone else's treasure, so what does it have to do with me?

He suddenly hated himself for being led by an insignificant girl.

"Forget it, I'll visit you next time."

Hu Luanfei complained secretly: Please don't come, I'm scared.

Suddenly remembering the sudden flood at Menghu Mountain and Qi Sili's help, she collected her thoughts and looked at him as he prepared to get on the carriage. She tried to ask him softly, "Does the emperor want to have dinner here?"

Hearing this, the two grown men suddenly turned their eyes to look at her, both of them examining her with an eye to discerning the truth, as if they wanted to ask: Are you serious?

After being stared at, Hu Luanfei said shyly: "Thanks to the emperor's care, Menghushan was able to survive the crisis. I have nothing to repay you, so I just want to prepare a good family dinner to welcome the emperor."

Now that things have come to this, if the two men don't go up the stairs, don't blame her for being inhospitable.

"In that case, I won't be polite."

Qi Sili's voice was still cold and clear, but if you listened carefully, you could hear the tremor in his voice.

The emperor returned to the shabby house, and the order prohibiting Qi Siliao from entering had been revoked.

Now, the little shack is a bit crowded.

The chief eunuch in the palace came forward and saluted, then waved his hand and ordered the eunuch behind him to bring the gifts. He smiled and said to Hu Luanfei, "The emperor specially ordered me to give these gifts to the princess."

Hu Luanfei bowed to Qi Sili and said, "Thank you, Your Majesty, for your kindness."

Qi Sili waved his hand, and the chief eunuch bowed and said, "These gifts were selected by the emperor himself in the storehouse after a long time..."

Hu Luanfei glanced at Qi Siliao, who immediately took it, smiled and walked towards the hall to express his gratitude: "Thank you for your hard work, brother. I will accept it on behalf of the princess."

The chief eunuch lowered his eyes slightly, not daring to look at Qi Sili, and hurriedly bowed and retreated.

Qi Siliao casually placed the gift on top of the cupboard. Given Hu Luanfei's height, he had to stand on a stool to reach it.

He explained: "I'm afraid someone might steal it, so I'm busy now and will collect it later."

The jealousy was written all over her face, and Hu Luanfei couldn't help but see it. He didn't say anything, just said, "You decide."

It is said that a gentleman stays away from the kitchen. Qi Si Liaoning would rather help in the kitchen than go out to accompany Qi Sili who came from afar.

Hu Luanfei glanced at the others, and most of them had strange expressions on their faces, probably because the prince was also cooking.

Seeing everyone whispering to each other, the chief eunuch came up and said, "The emperor invites you to gather in the hall."

The smile on Qi Siliao's lips gradually faded. He turned to look at Hu Luanfei's expression and whispered, "You are just trying to sow discord between us again. I don't bother to pay attention to you."

Hu Luanfei looked at the eunuch's sharp eyes, leaned towards Qi Siliao, and said carefully: "He is the emperor, we can't go too far."

Qi Si Liao hung his head, feeling a little embarrassed. "He found a random excuse to get me out earlier. If I sit under his nose again, he might find another lame excuse to get me out."

"In that case, I refuse to go."

Qi Sili saw all the little interactions between the two. He also wanted to go to the kitchen to check it out, but Qi Siliao didn't give him a chance and threw a piece of wet wood into the stove.

Suddenly, thick smoke rose up, and the palace maids and the emperor who had lived in the deep palace for a long time were forced to leave the small shabby house.

"Royal brother, please slow down..." Qi Siliao chased out, and Qi Sili stopped in front of the carriage with a sullen face.

"Seeing that you and Luan Fei are in love and have no doubts about each other, I feel relieved."

Hearing him speak like this, Qi Si Liao's unhappy expression also dissipated a little, "I understand what the emperor is thinking. The matter is done, you should focus on the government affairs."

"In recent years, the barbarians in the northwest have been rampant, and have been demanding that I give up several cities. Almost all of my generals are new, young and energetic, and reckless. Now, I have a hard time."

Qi Sili came forward, his face full of worry that he could not hide, "Royal brother, if there is a fire at the city gate one day, are you willing to help me again..."

Qi Siliao knelt on one knee without hesitation, clasping his fists, and said, "I am willing to protect the Daqian country until my death."

"Okay, okay!" Qi Sili stretched out his trembling hands to help Qi Siliao up, "It is a blessing for Daqian to have you."

As soon as Qi Sili left, Jiang Ling and Jiang Shi appeared.

They have learned about the current situation of Daqian from the spies. There are two generals of similar age in the court, who were carefully cultivated and promoted by Qi Sili all the way. They are impartial and both of them are favored.

But the two of them were not in harmony, fighting openly and secretly. There were three factions in the court, one supporting the Southern General, one supporting the Northern General, and the other watching the flowers bloom and fall in front of the court, not getting involved in the internal fighting.

Although they cannot be compared with Qi Siliao, they are much better than other young generals.

Just as Qi Sili had said before, the barbarians in the northwest also continued to provoke, and wars of varying sizes broke out throughout the year.

I don't know why, but Daqian's luck has not been very good in recent years. Small battles were won, but big ones were lost. Many people in border cities were living in poverty and began to flee.

Just when Menghushan needed development, internal and external troubles made Qi Siriao, who was far away from the court, worried.

After lunch, Hu Luanfei felt tired.

He only told Jiang Shi and Jiang Ling to stay in the hall with Qi Siliao, while he went back to his room and leaned on the couch under the window to read.

After watching for a while, I saw that the sky was gradually getting darker. My eyes felt tired and I felt a little lazy.

Suddenly I heard someone arguing outside the door. My heart immediately tightened. I put down the book and stood up to take a peek.

Just after leaving the room, Jiang Ling's face was gloomy and his tone was bad, "The emperor's abacus beads have fallen on my face, does the prince still want to go and accept the order?"

Qi Siliao said: "My father once ordered me to protect Daqian. What Qi Sili does is none of my business."

Jiang Ling said: "Since he issued an order to grant you the Menghu Mountain as your fiefdom, he has already disregarded the relationship between brothers."

Qi Si Liao said with a smile: "What does this have to do with my protection of Daqian?"

Jiang Ling: ...

No matter how much he tried to persuade her, Qi Siriao just wouldn't budge.
