Chapter 190 It’s Normal to Like Me

For Chu Qinghuang, this family banquet had to be ended happily. Anyway, she was in a good mood. Seeing Chu Tianyin suffer the physical pain, she felt even better.

As for the feelings of the other people staying at Renshou Palace, she didn't care.

After taking a carriage back to the eldest princess's residence, Chu Qinghuang ordered someone to call Qi Ling, and then asked someone to prepare some food, and had another lunch with Fucang.

"I didn't have enough to eat in the palace just now." Chu Qinghuang said, "Eat more and accompany me to the military camp later."

Fucang should be.

"King Zhenbei is coming." Chu Qinghuang said calmly, "I intend to let Qi Ling take over King Zhenbei's fiefdom."

Fucang was slightly startled and raised his eyes to look at her.

"The training of the Silver Armor Army in the military camp these days is just a test of his ability by this palace." Chu Qinghuang said calmly, "He does have the talent of a general and is qualified to take over the fiefdom and military power of King Zhenbei."

Fucang was silent for a moment and nodded slowly: "Yes."

Letting Qi Ling take over King Zhenbei's fiefdom and military power means that the Silver Armor Army in the Imperial City also needs a military commander with outstanding skills. At present, there is no particularly suitable candidate except the eldest princess.

Therefore, Chu Qinghuang needs to go to the military camp frequently to supervise the drills and let the Silver Armored Army know who is in charge of the military now and whose words they should listen to.

"Your Highness." Qi Ling came in and saluted, "Your Highness called me?"

"Yes." Chu Qinghuang nodded, "Have you had lunch?"

"have eaten."

"Your father will arrive in Beijing soon, and I have some matters to discuss with you."

Negotiate?

Qi Ling was slightly surprised, and then said humbly: "As long as your Highness has instructions, Qi Ling will go through fire and water without hesitation."

"Xiqi has been decayed from top to bottom, from the aristocratic family to the vassal king, and is in urgent need of rectification." Chu Qinghuang leaned on the chair, "Your brother Qi Yun is coming to Beijing with your father this time. I want you to You take his place and take over the power of the Zhenbei King's fiefdom."

Qi Ling was silent for a moment and added: "In addition to Qi Yun, my father also brought a concubine, Qi Lan, with him."

Chu Qinghuang raised his eyebrows: "What does your father want to do? After the death of a legitimate daughter, he wants to use his concubine as well, so as to show his generosity and win the emperor's trust?"

"His Royal Highness also said just now that Xiqi has been corrupted from top to bottom, from the aristocratic family to the vassal king." Qi Ling smiled lightly, "They are broken from the root. Unless the bones are scraped to cure the poison, the root of the disease cannot be eliminated. "

Unless a country like this is managed ruthlessly regardless of the consequences, even the most enlightened king will not be able to do what he wants.

Chu Qinghuang said calmly: "It just so happens that I am the best at scraping bones and treating poison."

"Your Highness!"

A familiar voice sounded outside, and then a red shadow rushed over: "Has Bao'er made any meritorious service? Is the palace very lively today?"

Chu Qinghuang looked at Hong Yu's expression as if he was asking for credit, and then thought of Chu Tianyin who was out of control and going crazy, with a calm expression: "He has indeed made a contribution."

Hong Yu clapped his hands: "Bao'er is really amazing, I didn't raise him for so long in vain."

Chu Qinghuang said: "Bao'er's meritorious service can be credited to you. What reward do you want?"

Hong Yu blinked: "Let me sleep with you."

"Ahem!" Qi Ling suddenly seemed to be choking on his saliva, "Ahem, cough..."

Hong Yu frowned and glanced at him: "What are you coughing for?"

"It's okay." Qi Ling cleared his throat, "I'll take my leave first, Your Highness, please use it as you please."

"So unintimidated." Hong Yu curled his lips, turned to look at Fucang, whose expression was cold and full of hostility, and raised his eyebrows with interest, "Although I am only a small servant, I am not qualified to deal with His Highness's shadow guards. I’m trying to point fingers, but I know that the duty of a servant is to serve His Highness, and to occasionally fight for favors and make His Highness happy, these are all things allowed by the status of a servant. "

After a pause, "The duty of the Shadow Guard should be to protect His Highness and obey His Highness's orders. A qualified Shadow Guard should at least be able to keep his emotions in check and should not have obvious mood swings. But obviously, Your mood swings have been too obvious recently... Fu Cang, don't you like His Highness? "

After the words fell, the air suddenly condensed.

Fucang's expression suddenly changed.

"I think you should remember your identity." Hongyu frowned, "A shadow guard is a shadow guard. He can live and die for his master, but he is not qualified to talk about feelings with his master."

After saying this, he bowed to Chu Qinghuang: "Your Highness, I will take my leave first."

After saying this, he turned around and fled away like a gust of wind.

Chu Qinghuang stared at his quickly leaving back, frowning again and again, then turned to look at Fucang: "I'm full...what are you doing?"

Fu Cang knelt on the ground: "This subordinate deserves to die."

"Why should you die?"

Fucang tightened his lips and remained silent.

Chu Qinghuang was silent for a moment, then said casually: "Hongyu was right, do you really like me?"

Fucang's voice was tight: "This subordinate deserves to die."

"Although what Hong Yu said makes sense, as a shadow guard, especially the leader of the shadow guard in charge of the dark pavilion, he should be indifferent to joy and anger, and should not have obvious mood swings at any time." Chu Qinghuang said lightly. , "But I can be tolerant to you and allow you to like me."

Fucang's body trembled, and his hands hanging by his sides trembled unconsciously.

"I have a noble status, beautiful appearance, powerful abilities, and extraordinary bearing..." Chu Qinghuang raised his eyebrows, "You and I get along day and night and are inseparable. It is normal for you to like me."

Fucang's expression changed slightly, and he moved his mouth, as if he wanted to say something, but when the words reached his lips, no words came out.

"I allow you to like it." Chu Qinghuang pointed to the table and said in a leisurely and calm voice, "Get up and eat. Don't pay attention to what Hong Yu said. Didn't I tell you before? As long as it is something I tacitly approve, you can It can be done.”

Fu Cang stood up and sat down, but the words Hong Yu just said kept echoing in his mind. The duty of the servant is to make His Highness happy, and fighting for favor and jealousy are all within the scope of his duties.

The Shadow Guards are only responsible for protecting His Highness and obeying His Highness's orders. They cannot compete for favors anytime and anywhere, nor can they be jealous or have a willful temper.
