mountains and seas

"Hey hey hey..."

Shang Qi was embarrassed when he heard this. This is not an honorable thing, at least not in Xiyuan Country.

Shang Qi coughed: "This matter seems to be quite a big deal, and it will still be talked about after so long."

Instead, Qi Ling ate the food calmly: "I really admire Ying Xufei for being able to do this for the one I love."

"Well, what you said is quite reasonable." Shang Qi touched his nose: "But you'd better stay away from him, and be careful not to be caught again."

Since coming to Xiyuan, Qi Ling has received too much care from Shang Qi: "You are probably the first person who treats me so well when I grow up, you don't mind that I am a proton, and you don't hesitate to fight against your emperor brother for me , and even tried their best to save me.”

This reminded Shang Qi of what he said that night:

"I've never been treated so well by anyone, and you were, hiccup, the first."

"Why don't you marry me, I'll treat you well for the rest of my life."

Shang Qi said: "That night you said, I treat you very well and you want to marry me."

Before Qi Ling had time to react, Shang Qi added: "Later, I went back to the house and thought about why you said such things. Probably, Qi Ling, you are really lonely."

Is it lonely? It's very lonely, but Qi Ling knows that he didn't have such thoughts on impulse, but now is not the time: "Yes, I'm sorry, I said these things that misunderstood you."

After getting Qi Ling's answer, Shang Qi didn't feel happy, but even more depressed.

At the grand banquet, there were singing and dancing, Zhuang Ziyuan, the princess of Tangling Kingdom, stood out among the dancers, and from time to time she gave Shang Qi a glance, but Shang Qi just pretended not to see it.

It's just that everyone else at the meeting is like a mirror in their hearts.

One of the civil servants said: "It seems that we will have a happy event in Xiyuan Kingdom in a short time."

Shang Jun just smiled and didn't speak, and turned to look at Concubine Nian.

Just kidding, Shang Qi and Shang Lan's lifelong event Nian Guifei doesn't nod, Shang Jun dare to point it out like that?

The monarch of Xiyuan Kingdom's love for Concubine Nian Gui was widely rumored in other countries, but seeing it was worse than hearing it, and his jaw dropped when he saw it, that he could do so much.

Zhuang Ziyuan looks nothing like Zhuang Zifu. Although she is a royal father, there is no resemblance between her eyebrows and eyes. Zhuang Ziyuan has raised corners of her eyes and slightly high cheekbones. Very strong feeling.

After the dance, Zhuang Ziyuan stepped forward with a crisp voice: "Ziyuan has seen His Majesty Shang Jun."

"Okay, okay." Shang Jun smiled and said, "Shu Bing brought the coral and night pearl, and I want to give it to Princess Ziyuan."

"Thank you, Your Majesty Shang, Ziyuan has another merciless request." When she said this, Zhuang Ziyuan's eyes kept flying towards Shang Qi.

Could it be that this princess is so bold that she wants to ask for marriage herself?

However, they all guessed wrong: "Zi Yuan just wants to sit next to His Highness the Seventh Prince."

"That's right."

As soon as Zhuang Ziyuan sat down, a big smell of makeup and powder wafted into Shang Qi's nose, and he was almost so stuffy that he couldn't breathe: "Your Royal Highness."

Zhuang Ziyuan raised her hand to cover her mouth, as if shy: "If His Highness the Seventh Prince doesn't dislike it, how about calling me Ziyuan?"

Shang Qi quietly moved aside: "Princess, this is not proper."

"That's right." Zhuang Ziyuan was a little disappointed: "It's Ziyuan who is being abrupt."

The conversation between these two people, in the eyes of other people, they looked right, they all nodded and winked, but Qi Ling was not far away, blowing the cold wind, with a frightening look on his face.

Zhuangzi tugged at his sleeve again: "Qi Ling, what's the matter?"

Qi Ling came back to his senses: "It's okay, I..."

Before he finished speaking, the wine glass in his hand was crushed, and the sound attracted everyone's attention.

Shang Jun raised his eyes and said, "Shu Bing, hurry up and apply medicine to Young Master Qi. If your child is on the battlefield, he must be a strong general."

One sentence resolved Qi Ling's embarrassment, and the ministers echoed:

"Yes, yes, I have never seen anyone who can crush a wine glass with bare hands."

"Master Qi will become a great weapon in the future."

"The future is formidable, and the future is formidable."

Shang Qi cast a concerned look at Qi Ling, Qi Ling smiled and shook his head, expressing that he was fine.

Shu Bing wiped the wound for him: "Mr. Qi's wound is not serious, and it will scab over tomorrow."

"Thank you, Eunuch Shu." Zhuang Zifu thanked Qi Ling.

Shu Bing showed more love to Zhuang Zifu: "Your Highness Zifu is being polite, this is what old slaves should do."

At this time, Xiao Yunzi, who was guarding the door, came in with a young man holding a tray: "Your Majesty, the fourteenth princess has brought a gift."

It is well known that the fourteenth princess Shangyou will hardly come back, but there is indeed no shortage of gifts that should be sent every year.

The young man took a step forward: "Senior Sister Shang You has prepared a good tonic and sent it here. I wish the Empress Dowager, the Emperor, the Empress, Concubine Nian and all kinds of empresses a long and healthy life and a beautiful appearance."

The happiest person here is Concubine Nian, she has not seen this daughter for several years: "Did Xiao Youer say when she will come back?"

The young man replied: "Senior sister will come back when she has time."

The queen mother pretended to be angry: "I say this every time, and I don't come back every time. The emperor has only such a daughter. The Ai family hasn't looked at it a few times."

The young man quickly apologized, and took out another snow lotus flower: "Senior sister specially ordered that this snow lotus flower must be given to the grandmother who loves her the most."

This made the queen mother happy.

After the banquet, the atmosphere was not so tense, and the prince and courtiers were free to move around. The envoy of Dongling Kingdom called Zhuang Zifu away, saying that he was expressing condolences to His Highness on behalf of King Dongling.

Being so entangled by Zhuang Ziyuan, Shang Qi could only watch Qi Ling quietly leave the banquet by himself.

This is Shang Lan who came to play with Shang Qi, Shang Qi kindly introduced: "Come on, this is Shang Lan, my eleventh emperor brother, Shang Lan, come and accompany Princess Ziyuan."

After finishing speaking, he chased out without waiting for the two people to react.

How could he have forgotten that during festivals, who is not with his family, even if Zhuang Zifu's family is not there, at least one envoy has brought a letter from his family, and Qi Ling is really alone in Xiyuan.

After searching for a long time, I finally found Qi Ling on the shady side of a century-old tree.

Shang Qi originally planned to go over quietly to scare him, but when he approached, he heard Qi Ling humming a song, which was very nice, but he had never heard it before.

Shang Qi leaned against the other side of the tree with his arms folded and listened quietly.

However, Qi Ling sang over and over again without any sign of stopping, even if his voice became hoarse, he did not intend to stop.

Shang Qi leaned against the tree: "Stop singing."

Qi Ling laughed softly, "Isn't it nice?"

"It sounds good." Shang Qi said again: "You know I'm here."

Pointing to his ears, and remembering that Shang Qi couldn't see, Qi Ling put down his hands: "The leaves were dry when you came, I heard."

"The song just now..."

"I heard other mothers sing to their children, and thought it was very good, so I learned it." When Qi Ling said this, he was envious and lonely.

The joyful scene in front of him was indeed a lonely Qi Ling behind him, and even Shang Qi felt that he was out of place with that lively scene.

Suddenly, Shang Qi said: "Let me sing you a song too. I sang to Shang Lan when he was crying when he was young."

"Are you treating me like a child?"

"Shut up and listen carefully." Shang Qi blushed, but Qi Ling didn't see it.

When Shang Qi finished singing and asked Qi Ling if it sounded good, he didn't hear the answer, and he called out twice: "Qi Ling, Qi Ling?"

Still no answer.

Shang Qi looked around the tree, and Qi Ling fell asleep with a smile.

Shaking his head helplessly, Shang Qi scratched his head and looked left and right, but he didn't find any eunuchs or guards passing by, so he had to carry Qi Ling back by himself.

That night, Qi Lingnan had a dream, in which he looked at himself as a bystander when he was a child.

He was ridiculed, excluded, and murdered by his stepmother many times behind his back.

Then, Shang Qi appeared and patted the crying little Qiling on the shoulder, and the little Qiling raised his wet face from crying: "Who are you?"

At this time Shang Qi disappeared, replaced by Qi Ling standing where Shang Qi stood before, and he said to his childhood self: "It's okay, you will meet a very warm person in the future."

The result of a good night's dream is that the next day, Qi Ling looks more energetic than usual. In contrast, Zhuang Zifu has a pair of red and swollen eyes and has no energy.

Seeing Zhuang Zifu like this, Qi Ling thought that someone was bullying him again: "Your Highness Zifu, are you? Is it because the people from Dongling are bullying you again?"

A word of concern touched Zhuang Zifu's tear glands, regardless of whether there were servants there, he hugged Qi Ling and began to cry, Qi Ling had nowhere to put his hands.

After crying for a while, seeing that Zhuang Zifu had calmed down a little, Qi Ling asked, "What's wrong with you?"

Zhuang Zifu took a few deep breaths before speaking: "Last night, I met with the envoy Wang, and he told me something about my mother."

"What's the matter?" Qi Ling asked.

Zhuangzi frowned, thinking of his mother, tears welled up again: "My mother was originally the princess of the Xiyuan Kingdom. When she was young, she fell in love with Shang Jun, but she was stumbled halfway and sent to Dongling Kingdom to get married. Father thought that Mother and Lord Shang are inseparable, that's why they neglect mother so coldly."

I used to think that Zhuang Zifu was just an ordinary prince with no identity background, but I didn't know that there was such a past behind it: "Then your mother's natal family?"

"It's gone. After my mother died, grandpa and the others fell into a slump, and they disappeared in a few years." Zhuang Zifu covered his face, tears slipped from his fingertips, and dripped on his clothes: "The only one who can be regarded as his mother's family is probably Shang Jun. Alright, but I know, I know I can’t say this, otherwise my father will kill me, and he will think that I am colluding with Shang Jun and plotting to instigate rebellion.”

Seeing that Zhuang Zifu was about to burst into tears again, Qi Lingqing took out a handkerchief and wiped Zhuang Zifu's tears: "Then don't talk about it, it's good for ordinary people, so as not to be involved in the bloody storm."

Zhuang Zifu grabbed Qi Ling's arm and made up his mind: "Okay, it's fine to be ordinary, but I want to find out who made the trip, if it wasn't for her, mother's life would be spent happily in Xiyuan Country. "

Qi Ling: "Can you find it?"
