Gongsun Sheng was speechless for a moment.
At this moment, Fu Ciyi felt that his previous concerns were unnecessary.
The Queen Mother did not expose Bei Qi's purpose. What she said came entirely from a mother's consideration and was well-reasoned and well-founded.
If Gongsun Sheng continues to insist on marrying Nan Yao, his purpose will be self-evident.
After all, this man is in his twenties and hasn't found a wife of his choice for many years. Now, just as he proposed to one, he changed his mind...
He was also afraid that others would think too much, and then think that others would realize their purpose, and he was even more afraid that Dajing would not let them leave.
Although he dared to go on a diplomatic mission to Dajing, he must have made sufficient preparations.
But being imprisoned by Dajing should be avoided if possible.
I have to say, things become simple when the Queen Mother takes action.
Yan Funing also thought of the same thing, and the hand holding Fu Ciyi's fingers relaxed.
Long Yi smiled and said, giving the other party a way out: "Or Prince Sheng, think about it carefully when you go back and come back later. Bei Qi and Da Jing still have a marriage to be decided, so we are not in a hurry."
He said that even if everyone agreed to Nan Yao's marriage, his queen would never agree.
Gongsun Sheng readily agreed: "Your Majesty, Dajing, is right. It was my fault for not considering it carefully enough."
He wanted to say that he really liked the Fifth Princess, but Yan Funing was present at the moment, so he couldn't say such a lie that even he couldn't deceive.
"Prince Sheng is young and full of vigor. Come back when you have made up your mind. Dajing will certainly welcome you."
Qiao Wanyou smiled and sat down with her son and daughter-in-law.
After a few casual chats, Gongsun Sheng stood up and said goodbye: "I have been here for a while, and Man'er has found a home, so it is time for me to return to Beiqi."
Long Yi nodded: "The weather is comfortable now. It will be hot in the summer. Prince Sheng is now on his way back, so it's better to be relaxed."
"Indeed."
Gongsun Sheng bowed and glanced at Yan Funing vaguely, as if he had something to say, but he quickly strode away.
After he left, Fu Ciyi ordered Eunuch Han to guard outside the palace, and he said, "Father, Beiqi has planted spies in the palace."
"How did you know that?" Long Yi frowned. "Beiqi has spies in the capital. I've known about that for a long time."
As for the fact that there were also some in the palace, it made him furious.
Fu Ciyi then told the story of how the Gongsun brothers and sisters used aphrodisiac potion to harm people.
"I see."
Long Yi narrowed his eyes slightly, then sneered.
He thought it was because of that rascal Long Lihui who had some bad intentions.
This is good. Even if Gongsun Man came here with a purpose, keeping her in Dajing will be of some use.
Fu Ciyi said, "That young eunuch should have been silenced. Please allow all palace servants to conduct a thorough investigation in secret."
Long Yi nodded, his eyes swept back and forth between his two legitimate sons, finally settling on Fu Beimo: "Beimo, I leave this matter to you."
"Me?" Fu Beimo was surprised. "It would be better to let my brother do this."
"Shouldn't you be experiencing it?"
As for Wenyu, there are naturally more important things.
Not long after, Fu Ciyi took his wife and brother away, leaving only Long Yi and Qiao Wanyou in the house.
Seeing his wife staring at him with anger in her eyes, Long Yi couldn't help but feel a pause in his heart: "Is there something you want to blame me for?"
"If I don't blame you, who else can I blame?" Qiao Wanyou said directly, "You fall in love with every girl you meet, and your daughter is the same."
"How can you blame me? You are the only one in my heart."
It wasn't enough for him to say that, he quickly stood up and took his wife into his arms to comfort her.
--
The next day, Gongsun Sheng led the delegation out of Beijing.
This news was immediately reported to Fu Ciyi.
"Your Highness, the Crown Prince of Beiqi has already left the capital. They left in a very low profile, only sending someone to the palace to announce their departure."
Fu Ciyi seemed to have anticipated this: "Invite Yan Xinghe, Yan Bojian, and Pang Gaozhuo to our house for a drink tonight."
"yes."
The visitor left immediately.
That night, the three of them arrived as invited.
When the dishes were served, Yan Funing brought out two pots of wine: "This is the new wine brewed by Fufeng Restaurant. Second brother, third brother and General Pang, please try it. If you like it, you can have as much as you want."
Pang Gaozhuo asked with a smile, "Can I take some away?"
"Of course you can." Yan Funing placed the wine jug on the table. "What else do you want to eat? Just tell me."
"We're in for a treat tonight," Yan Bojian exclaimed. "I really envy my brother-in-law for being able to eat my sister's cooking so often."
"If she cooks all the time, I'll feel bad."
Fu Ciyi picked up the wine jug and poured wine for them himself.
Several people hurriedly expressed their gratitude.
"It's true that I haven't cooked for a long time. Today, when I heard His Highness invite you all over, I went to the kitchen."
Yan Funing said with a smile, picked up a dish from the tray brought by the maid and placed it on the table.
"Brother, if you knew that you were not invited, you would definitely be furious." Yan Bojian said again.
Yan Xinghe picked up a piece of meat and stuffed it into his mouth: "Eat it."
Fu Ciyi explained frankly, "Firstly, my brother-in-law has to take care of his wife and children, and secondly, he has a good relationship with Gongsun Sheng. I'm not worried about what will happen to my brother-in-law, but I'm worried about whether there are any spies from Northern Qi around him."
Yan Xinghe nodded: "It's always right to be cautious."
Pang Gaozhuo kept eating, but when Yan Xinghe suddenly glanced at him, he put down his chopsticks and said, "It's rare for me to enjoy the princess's cooking, but you guys can enjoy it often. Shouldn't I eat more now?"
"Let my brother-in-law talk about serious matters." Yan Xinghe said in a deep voice.
No one could prevent him from getting the position of Prime Minister.
Fu Ciyi smiled and said, "Let's talk while eating. What I want to say is that we should be prepared for war."
"With Beiqi?" Yan Bojian asked.
"Um."
Just then, there was a noise outside the dining room.
