Chapter 348: Phoenix Rising from Fire, Can Become King
Guo Tingting immediately calmed down, turned around, hooked her arms around the fat man's neck, endured the nausea, and smiled sweetly.
"Of course, I want to watch the most grand wedding reception in the history of Tianshan County."
The man's small eyes narrowed into slits.
"I heard that Madam had a crush on Young Master Qi in the past?"
Guo Tingting naturally would not deny something that everyone knew.
"Yes, God knows how much I regret that my youth and ignorance caused me to lose my only relative."
After Guo Tingting finished speaking, she leaned close to the man's ear and exhaled a sweet breath.
"Husband, you are all I have now. Come back early today. I will wait for you in bed."
After saying that, she kissed the man's fat face and walked away with her slender waist twisted.
Coming out of the shop, Guo Tingting looked at the wedding procession going away, with reluctance in her eyes.
She bribed the servants of the second house and knew about the old ancestor's plan to use a torture trick to get Qiuhua into the first house of the Qi family.
Originally, he wanted to find someone else to replace Qiuhua.
As a result, the ancestor's plan failed, he was driven out, and he had to get out of Tianshan County.
Now, she has no other choice.
The only way out is to get pregnant!
Because men are unreliable, once the novelty wears off, he may divorce her.
Thinking of this, Guo Tingting went to a clothing store and bought two thin bellybands.
The other side.
Qi Shuyan walked around the city and returned to Qi Mansion before the auspicious time.
Scattering beans, kicking the sedan door, and jumping over the fire basin.
Before entering the house, the bridesmaid untied the red silk flower hanging in front of Qi Shuyan.
She handed one end of the red silk to Xia Shu and the other end to Qi Shuyan.
"A thousand miles of love will bring you eternal love and prosperity."
Qi Shuyan asked the servant to hand a red envelope to the bridesmaid, and smiled as he led Xia Shu in to visit.
The wedding went smoothly without any incidents.
"Send her to the bridal chamber!"
After Qi Shuyan brought Xia Shu into the bridal chamber, he immediately lifted her veil.
The gorgeous phoenix coronet and bridal robe made her look even more beautiful and charming.
"As bright as the sun rising in the morning glow, as dazzling as lotus emerging from the vast sea, I am talking about my wife."
[Note: From The Goddess of Luo River by Cao Zhi of Wei during the Three Kingdoms Period]
Xia Shu felt a little shy when she was praised, and her face flushed seductively.
The word "husband" lingered on her lips for a long time before she finally said it.
"My husband, please don't laugh at me. Go and entertain the guests."
"Don't worry, drinking the wedding wine with you is more important."
After saying that, Qi Shuyan picked up the golden wine pot and poured two cups of peach blossom wine.
They each took a cup and drank from it.
After drinking the wedding wine, Qi Shuyan tied a love knot with her hair and put it into the mandarin duck brocade bag that she had prepared long ago, keeping it close to her body.
He called the maid, "Go to the kitchen and get some food for the lady."
"Yes, young master."
Xia Shu understood Qi Shuyan's purpose of picking up the veil and drinking the wedding wine in advance.
Afraid that she would wait too long and get hungry.
After the maid left, Qi Shuyan took off Xia Shu's phoenix crown and helped her massage her neck.
"Are you tired?"
Xia Shu held Qi Shuyan's hand and said, "I'm not tired. Don't worry about me. Go and accompany the guests. Otherwise, you will be criticized."
"What are you saying? You're saying that I couldn't bear to leave my beloved wife alone in the empty room, so I got married before dark?"
"A Yan!"
Seeing that Xia Shu was embarrassed and angry, Qi Shuyan stopped teasing her.
"My lady, the wedding dress is heavy and tiring to wear. You can change into something lighter. If you are tired, take a rest after eating."
"Okay, I understand. Go ahead."
After Qi Shuyan kissed Xia Shu on the forehead, he went to the front yard to toast the guests.
He knew that Xia Shu would feel a little uncomfortable after marrying into the Qi family, so he did not stay with the guests for too long and returned to the bridal chamber amid everyone's teasing.
The hibiscus tent is warm, and the spring night is just around the corner.
***
After the Qi family saw off the guests, they prepared to rest.
A large hand held the closing door.
"No matter how fast you hurry, you're still late."
The porter opened the door a crack.
He looked at the two people who seemed familiar yet strange, and asked, "Who are you? Who are you looking for?"
Qin Muyun took off his fur hat and said, "Qin Muyun, come with Master Jie Yi to see Qi Yanzhou, the head of the Qi family."
The doorman was an old man from the Qi family, so he naturally knew Qin Muyun.
It was just that Qin Muyun no longer had the image of a young master, so he didn't recognize him immediately.
He quickly opened the door, "Mr. Qin, Mr. Xie, please come in."
After the two entered, the doorman immediately closed the door and asked the servant to notify Qi Yanzhou immediately.
Qi Yanzhou and Ye Chutang had just returned to Tangzhou Courtyard and were about to go see the children.
The servant's report made the two men return to the front yard immediately.
Qi Yanzhou almost didn't recognize Qin Muyun, who was dark, thin, and had chapped face.
Xie Yi looked even more miserable, as if he was a dozen years older, with white hair on his temples.
After saying hello to Jie Yi, Qi Yanzhou punched Qin Muyun on the shoulder.
"Huaixuan, how did you get yourself into this state?"
Qin Muyun returned Qi Yanzhou's punch and grinned, revealing a mouthful of white teeth.
"When you are starving and cold, this is what happens."
Just as he finished speaking, his stomach started growling.
"Brother, hurry up and get some food. I'm starving."
In order to hurry on the road and attend the Qi family’s wedding banquet, he and his master hadn’t eaten for the whole day.
Qi Yanzhou hurriedly called the servants and asked them to prepare food.
"Make some more, and order some snacks to go with the wine."
There are a lot of cooked food in the big kitchen that can be eaten after heating up.
"Yes, Patriarch."
After the servants left, Ye Chutang took the master and his apprentice to the guest house to settle down.
"Mr. Xie, Mr. Qin, if you need anything, just tell the servants directly."
Qin Muyun and Ye Chutang were quite familiar with each other, so he agreed with a smile.
"Okay, I won't be polite to Ziqian."
"Then you guys chat, I won't keep you company."
After Ye Chutang left, the three men went to the dining room in the front yard.
Qi Yanzhou poured three cups of tea and asked Qin Muyun curiously, "You and Mr. Jie haven't heard from each other for several months. What have you been doing?"
Qin Muyun took a sip of tea to moisten his throat.
"What else could I do? I was looking for the Emperor Star, and then I encountered a heavy snow and the road was blocked. I was trapped in a poor village and almost starved to death."
There is no falsehood in what he said.
If it weren't for the fact that my master and I obtained a lot of wild game through divination, I would have starved to death in this remote area long ago.
Qi Yanzhou was very concerned about the Emperor Star and asked quickly, "Have you found the Emperor Star?"
Qin Muyun looked at Jie Yi and raised his chin.
"Master, please tell me."
Hearing this, Qi Yanzhou's eyes lit up.
"Does this mean that you found it?"
Xie Yi is old and not in good health. After being blown by the cold wind for a day, his voice became a little hoarse.
"We have a suspect, but whether it is the real Emperor Star remains to be verified."
"Mr. Xie, are there real and fake Emperor Stars?"
Xie Yi recalled the strange star phenomenon he had seen not long ago and cleared his throat.
"I saw two different emperor stars, but there is only one emperor, so one of the emperor stars must be a fake."
This had never happened before in history, so he had no idea what was going on.
Qi Yanzhou didn't know much about the Xuanmen lineage.
But when he saw Jie Yi’s worried look on his face, he knew at a glance that things were not simple.
He asked, "Mr. Xie, will there be two people who can be crowned emperor, and the winner will be the king?"
If this is the case, there will definitely be a civil war in Beichen Kingdom, resulting in countless casualties.
Xie Yi also considered this possibility.
But he and Qin Muyun took the risk to use the Tuibei Tu to deduce the country's destiny.
It was discovered that the fate of Beichen Kingdom was no longer as bloody as before, but so peaceful that it did not seem like a change of dynasty was needed.
If the master and disciple had not come up with the same deduction results, they would have suspected that they had made a mistake.
Therefore, there will never be a situation where two tigers fight each other!
After Xie Yi told Qi Yanzhou the results of his deduction, he also looked puzzled.
"In other words, the change of dynasties will be smooth and there will be no civil unrest?"
Qin Muyun nodded, then immediately shook his head.
"That's right and that's not right. No one can predict the future. The fate of a country is always changing. I can only say that this is the result of the current deduction."
After saying this, his sword-like eyebrows knitted together.
"But my master and I have never figured out why there are two emperor stars."
Xie Yi added, "And these two imperial stars are extremely different."
As soon as he finished speaking, the servant came in with the dishes.
Qi Yanzhou waited until all the dishes were served before asking Jie Yi.
"Mr. Xie, can you tell me who the two imperial stars you know correspond to?"
Xie Yi was so hungry that he didn't care about table manners or answering Qi Yanzhou's questions. He just wolfed down the food.
He didn't speak until his stomach was filled.
“I thought the Emperor Star I saw in the capital before was Master Qi, but after calculating your birth date, it turned out not to be him.
The Emperor Star we saw not long ago was located north of the northwest, which means when Linzhou City was rescued, did Mr. Qi have any candidate? ”
Qi Yanzhou thought for a long time and shook his head.
There were only a few capable people who could rescue Linzhou City, but none of them was qualified to be emperor.
There is a slight possibility that Song Jingning was involved, but he was not in Linzhou City at that time.
"Mr. Xie, I will give you a birth date later. Can you calculate it?"
Although he didn't think it was Song Jingning, he felt more at ease after calculating it.
Xie Yi nodded, "Okay, but you have to wait until tomorrow. I'm really tired from traveling today, and I'm afraid the calculation may not be accurate."
"Okay, no rush."
Qi Yanzhou said nothing more.
He waited until Qin Muyun and Jie Yi put down their chopsticks before asking again.
"Mr. Xie, what is the difference between the two imperial stars?"
Xie Yi thought of the difference between the Emperor Stars and said quickly, "Speaking of this, it is indeed a bit strange. The Emperor Star I saw in the capital was purple, but the one I saw not long ago was red."
Purple Air Coming from the East is a common star for emperors.
But red...
He had never seen it, so he could only guess that this imperial star might bring bloody disaster.
After listening to Jie Yi's words, Qi Yanzhou made a bold guess.
He lowered his voice and said, "Mr. Xie, is it possible that the reddish imperial star you saw represents the empress?"
The phoenix rises from the flames and can become king.
Xie Yi never considered a woman as emperor.
After listening to Qi Yanzhou's words, he nodded repeatedly, "It's very likely!"
After saying this, he immediately thought of Ye Chutang.
"To rescue Linzhou City, did Madam Qi also go?"
"Well, not only did Atang go, but it was all thanks to her that Linzhou City was able to escape from the crisis."
Ye Chutang didn't want the "ghost thief's" incredible abilities to be known to everyone, so he attributed the avalanche to a natural disaster.
So no one knew the truth except everyone in Linzhou City and the reinforcements.
Xie Yi excitedly grabbed Qi Yanzhou's arm.
"Master Qi, I would like to tell Madam Qi's fortune again, is that possible?"
"Let's talk about it tomorrow. I have to ask Atang first and then give Mr. Jie a reply."
"Okay, I'm tired today too, so I can't tell fortunes."
After Xie Yi finished speaking, he stood up and said, "Master Qi, it's very late. You should go and have some rest. See you tomorrow."
Qi Yanzhou hummed and looked at Qin Muyun.
"Do you have a change of clothes?"
"Yes, just ask the servants to prepare hot water. My master and I haven't taken a bath for several days."
Luckily the weather was cold and I didn’t sweat much, otherwise I would have stunk.
"You and Mr. Jie should go back to the guest house first, and the hot water will be delivered soon."
After Qi Yanzhou gave his servants a few instructions, he returned to Tangzhou Courtyard.
An An and Le Le had already gone to bed, and the yard was very quiet.
Ye Chutang had finished his bath and was leaning against the head of the bed reading a book about water conservancy.
The cover was disguised as a medical book from Beichen Country.
Seeing Qi Yanzhou coming in, she asked, "You've been back for so long. What did you talk about with them?"
"I'll take a shower first, and I'll tell you in detail later."
When Ye Chutang heard this, he knew there was something fishy going on.
She pushed the hair that was scattered around her face behind her ears and said, "Go ahead. I'll wait for you."
Qi Yanzhou finished washing quickly.
Ye Chutang closed the book, put it under the pillow, and snuggled into Qi Yanzhou's arms.
"Tell me, who is Emperor Star?"
Qin Muyun and Jie Yi have been looking for the Emperor Star, and the topic they talk about must be related to the Emperor Star.
Qi Yanzhou hugged Ye Chutang and kissed her on the forehead.
"Two new imperial stars appeared in Beichen Country."
Ye Chutang raised her head and looked at Qi Yanzhou's sexy jawline, her eyebrows slightly furrowed.
"Two? In the future, Beichen will split into two countries, each ruling its own empire?"
It shouldn't be like this!
According to the current situation, as long as a wise ruler appears, the Qi family will be able to push him to the throne, and it will be impossible for Beichen Kingdom to split into two countries.
Qi Yanzhou shook his head and rubbed Ye Chutang's head with his chin.
He simplified the content of the previous chat.
After hearing this, Ye Chutang sat up in surprise.
"You mean, I will be the empress of the new dynasty?"
After saying that, she found it funny and chuckled.
She never intended to become emperor.
Because she knows better than anyone that the supreme position is not for humans to sit on!
Without freedom, you'd be like a bird in a cage.
They are also subject to the control of the court and the people, and their work is thankless.
Chunchun is just a worker who works himself to death!
Qi Yanzhou also knew that Ye Chutang didn't want to be in power, but the red imperial star was her no matter how he looked at it.
"Ah Tang, Mr. Xie wants to tell your fortune, what do you think?"
Ye Chutang lay back in Qi Yanzhou's arms, listening to his steady heartbeat.
"The divination of the Imperial Astronomical Observatory is worth a try."
"Mr. Ziqian and Mr. Jie have never known about the imperial star they saw in the capital. Do you want to have your brother's fortune told as well?"
"Forget it. Anyway, neither me nor my brother will change anything because of the hexagram."
"Okay, let's calculate it all."
After Qi Yanzhou finished speaking, he patted Ye Chutang on the back.
"Go to bed. It's late."
Ye Chutang was not very sleepy, so he asked with a smile, "Could that imperial star Mr. Xie saw in the capital be you?"
"Mr. Xie has calculated it, and it is not."
"Who could it be? I haven't heard of anyone in the northwest who is so capable and worthy of such a big task."
"Maybe it hasn't happened yet. After all, in many dynasties, the person who sits on the throne is unexpected."
Ye Chutang thought of Zhu Yuanzhang and nodded in agreement.
"That's right. Let Mr. Jie tell An An and Le Le's fortune tomorrow."
If there is any disaster, it can be avoided.
Qi Yanzhou thought so too, "Okay, let's go to sleep."
