Chapter 67
In the evening, Li Yi held a banquet to entertain Qin Nanru, the fourth prince of Le Kingdom. Qin Nanru was only twenty-three or four years old this year, younger than Li Yi, but it was obvious that Li Yi was even more dazzling.
Li Yi was born with the majesty and sharpness of a superior, and his every move was impressive.
Qin Nanru was wearing a blue brocade robe and handsome. He bowed and bowed to Li Yi, and said with a humble smile: "Nanru walked along the way, from south to north, and saw the scenery of Yan State. Yan State is prosperous and safe, Nanru yearned for it."
Li Yi stepped forward and helped Qin Nanru up: "I heard that the fourth prince of Le Country is among the princes, and I am very proud of it. When I see you today, it is indeed worthy of your reputation."
Because Qin Nanru and others came in a hurry, Yan State did not prepare a grand banquet in advance. Today, in Yong'an Hall, Qin Nanru and the loyal advisers he brought, as well as Li Yi's close ministers.
Qin Nanru originally wanted to give up the fifth princess, but then she thought that the occasion was not grand enough.
The group drank and talked until late at night, Qin Nanru left the palace with others and went to the inn where he temporarily stayed outside the palace to entertain foreign envoys.
Qin Nanyu brought Qin Nanying with him. He knew very well that Qin Nanying, who was disguised by Duan Jiao, was more fascinating than Qin Nanying. Today, Qin Nanying has a cat-like appearance, plump breasts, and slender waist.
Qin Nanru thought that he needed to let Li Yi take a look at Qin Nanying and let Li Yi be obsessed with Qin Nanying.
He drank some more wine.
Qin Nanru pretended to be drunk. He held his forehead and smiled: "I can't bear to drink, so I can make Your Majesty laugh."
Li Yi smiled and said, "Since the Fourth Prince is drunk, go back first, I will ask someone to send you."
Qin Nanru winked at Liufeng, and Liufeng called Qin Nanying out.
Qin Nanying was wearing gorgeous clothes, shaking her head, her eyes were flowing, and her lips were as if she was wearing pills. She walked step by step under the lamp, elegant and intoxicating.
Qin Nanru said: "Since you are leaving the palace, the fifth princess, come and give your Majesty a glass of wine."
Qin Nanru had sharp eyes, staring at Li Yi's expression.
Qin Nanying, disguised by Duan Jiao, was Qin Nanru who collected the beauties of Leguo and carefully selected the most suitable one. He has been teaching for many years, was well-behaved and tame, and had a noble and soft temperament. Whenever he saw her, Qin Nanru was a little amazed, and he didn't believe that Li Yi would turn a blind eye to such a beauty.
Li Yi said: "According to the customs of Yan State, even if a noble woman is on the table and has a seat with a man, she should not toast to another man casually. The fourth princess should let the fifth princess follow the customs."
Qin Nanru's face changed slightly.
Such changes naturally fell into Li Yi's eyes.
Qin Nanru didn't expect that Li Yi glanced at Qin Nanying indifferently, but he didn't even have the interest to take a second look.
This...is not very possible.
Qin Nanru looked at Qin Nanying.
Under the soft light, Qin Nanying's beautiful eyes are a stunning beauty. Any man should be attracted.
Or is this emperor hiding his mind too deeply that he couldn't see it at all?
Qin Nanru could only guess this.
After all, from the beginning, he only saw the arrival of Li Yi, and the sincere and eager welcome. As for whether Li Yi's welcome to him was true or false, Qin Nanru could not tell from Li Yi's words and deeds.
Qin Nanru took Qin Nanying back to the inn.
Li Yi also asked several important officials to go back, leaving only the Hu Hai behind.
Hu Hai has followed Li Yi for many years. Some time ago, the people promoted by Hu Hai have had trouble. Hu Hai was impeached by officials from the hostile side. Although Li Yi scolded him, he still did not touch him, which is enough to show Li Yi's importance to him.
Li Yi sat on the throne, and the palace maid helped him hammer his shoulders. He took a sip of tea: "I heard that there is a daughter in Prime Minister Fox's family, and she is about to get married?"
Fox Sea was shocked.
Li Yi asked this, was it because he fell in love with his daughter and wanted to receive it in the harem? Hu Hai was loyal to Li Yi, but he didn't want his daughter to enter the harem. It was not that he could not trust Li Yi, but that he was afraid of the concubines in the harem. Empress, Imperial Concubine, Li Concubine, and all of these three are difficult to mess with.
Hu Qingyi has a pure character and is not suitable for entering the harem.
Hu Hai said: "Report to Your Majesty, the little girl is only thirteen this year and is less than the age to get married."
Li Yi put down the tea in his hand: "What kind of person does the Prime Minister want to betroth the Ling Nu?"
Li Yi knew about Hu Hai’s concerns, and he just wanted to play with the old fox first.
Hu Hai regards his daughter as his life, and is reluctant to let her daughter get married, but she is also reluctant to let her be an old girl for the rest of her life.
Since last year, Hu Hai has been determined to find young talents for Hu Qingyi.
If Hu Qingyi is bullied, then Hu Hai will be able to beat his son to death, and if talented and outstanding looks, then he will have something to say to his daughter, or his mother will be kind or her mother will die, so that Hu Qingyi will not be made difficult by the evil mother-in-law...
Hu Hai finds a son-in-law for himself, which is more troublesome than marrying his wife for him.
Facing His Majesty's burning gaze, Hu Hai naturally did not dare to raise his request for a stinky and long foot binding.
Hu Hai said reluctantly: "I only ask for a good person and don't bully my daughter."
At least, from the word "good man", Li Yi, the monarch who stepped on his brother and had blood in his hands, was ruled out.
Hu Hai also thought that Li Yi might want to give Hu Qingyi to the Yan family to comfort the Yan family.
But the young master of the Yan family relies on his noble status and fights cocks and dogs all day long. He visits Qinlou and Chuguan all day long and teases good women! Naturally, this is not a good person either.
If Li Yi dared to forcefully take away his daughter and give it to the Yan family's dandy bag, Hu Hai would not want the position of Prime Minister and would just take his daughter back to his hometown. At least there would be a group of honest teenagers in his hometown.
Li Yi smiled faintly and said, "I know a good person, maybe I can be the Prime Minister's son-in-law."
The fox's heart sank.
Li Yi said: "The queen's cousin, the youngest son of the Duke Dingguo Mansion, Qi Yu."
Hu Hai has never heard of this person. Although there are so many nice things installed in front of him, Hu Hai can vaguely guess that this is an unpopular concubine.
How can a grand prime minister’s daughter marry a concubine?
However, this person was said by Li Yi, could it be... Will this person be valued by Li Yi?
Moreover, Li Yi is not from a legitimate son. If he can have a good future, what difference can the legitimate son and illegitimate son make?
However, when he thought of marrying his daughter to a little bastard whom he didn't know, Hu Hai wanted to break the little bastard's rabbit head.
Li Yi was not embarrassed by this old minister who had been with him for several years. He said, "One of the young masters, there is one who is familiar with Qi Yu, Hu Qing, you can ask about Qi Yu's character. This is Ling's marriage, and I will not decide for you. You can think about it after learning about Qi Yu in detail. Anyway, Ling's daughter is still young."
After hearing Li Yi's words, Hu Hai was not difficult to guess that Li Yi also admired Qi Yu very much, otherwise he would not have been so confident and bold enough to let him test and inquire.
For a moment, Hu Hai was also a little curious. What ability did this young man named Qi Yu have caught Li Yi's eyes?
Is it because this is the queen's cousin?
It is unlikely that Li Yi is not a nepotism monarch.
Hu Hai thought that if there was time another day, he would definitely invite Qi Yu to his home and have a good talk.
Li Yi said: "If Hu Qing wants to see Qi Yu, then tomorrow, I will summon him into the palace tomorrow, and he has no time."
Fox Sea: "…"
Is his mind so easy to guess?
The fox sea walked out of the Yong'an Palace and just came out, the breeze blew on her face, bringing a fragrance that was neither strange nor familiar.
The queen actually arrived at Yong'an Palace in a chariot!
This place has always been used to enter and enter and exit the harem women. As a minister who is not a pedantic minister, Hu Hai doesn't mind this, but Li Yi cares a lot about the rules!
Hu Hai bowed to the woman who was walking down: "My husband Hu Hai has seen the Empress."
Qi Yue was holding an exquisite food box in her hand, and she smiled slightly: "Prime Minister Fox invites you."
Hu Hai said: "The people from Shangle Kingdom have left. Your Majesty is in the side hall. You should go to Hanyuan Hall later."
Qi Yue's cold eyes swept across Hu Hai. Hu Hai did not dare to examine Qi Yue, but Qi Yue could examine him.
Hu Hai broke out in a cold sweat.
When I met the fifth princess of Le Kingdom just now, except Hu Hai and Li Yi, other ministers were also fascinated by beauty for a moment. Only Hu Hai knew that the fifth princess was not even worthy of lifting the skirt with the queen.
Now that I saw the queen again, Hu Hai had to be amazed. This young and tender queen was noble in every move. Even Guifei Yan in the harem had to give him some face when she saw Hu Hai and greeted him with a smile. Only the queen, when she looked at him, treated him like Li Yi, like Li Yi, as he regarded him as a minister crawling at his feet.
Qi Yue said: "I am afraid that Your Majesty will feel uncomfortable if you drink too much wine, so I specially prepared some soup in the palace to give it to Your Majesty."
Hu Hai said: "The virtuous empress is the blessing of Your Majesty and the blessing of the Great Yan Dynasty."
Qi Yue nodded: "It's getting late. Prime Minister Fox has been busy with state affairs for a whole day. Let's go home early to rest."
Hu Hai waited for Qi Yue to walk to Yong'an Palace before leaving.
He thought to himself that the Queen was also a member of the Qi family, and the Queen was so charming that she must have been a young man who had a squat. The breeze blew, and Hu Hai took the people away from the palace.
Qi Yue entered the side hall, and Li Yi was still sitting on the throne. The palace maid and eunuch either stood and pinched his shoulders or knelt on his legs.
Qi Yue said: "Your Majesty has been busy for a day, but are you tired?"
She made a gesture, and the palace maid and eunuch who served Li Yi lowered her head and retreated.
Li Yi chuckled: "Before I left, I asked you to prepare sobering soup to Yong'an Palace. You are really ready. Queen, when will you become so obedient?"
He pointed to his thigh: "Sit here, sit there without you."
Qi Yue's face was still tense, and she suddenly remembered what Li Yi forced her to do during the day. A look of repulsion flashed in her eyes, and her ears were inexplicably flushed.
