In any world, there will always be people who are proud and enjoy all their glory. There will inevitably be some people who are disappointed and extremely depressed.

In this world, if you want to choose the most complacent and calm person, it is Li Shouli, the King of Qi, who has reached the peak that mortals can reach in all aspects.

In terms of origin, King Qi, as the blood brother of the saint, can be said to be one of the closest people, and has shared good fortune and good fortune since he was young and has a deep relationship.

In terms of power, although King Qi had no permanent duties in the court, no one dared to underestimate it in the current situation. For example, when the saint was in charge of the imperial army in the first half of the year, King Qi stayed in the capital, took charge of the Great Nei Guard, defending the palace and defending the entire palace.

In family life, King Qi is even more envious. His wives and concubines are everywhere in the courtyard and his children are crowded. Not only does it not make people feel debauchery, but it also feels that the famous king is romantic and straightforward. This treatment is even more enviable.

The Dugu family, who was born in a famous family in Guanzhong, and the Guanlong women, especially these legitimate daughters of famous families, are more or less a bit of a woman's style. Many families who marry her will inevitably cause some jealous storms and farces of big women, but there are few such rumors in the Qiwang family.

It’s not that Princess Qi is elegant and does not fight, but that if she really makes a fuss, the hat on the princess’s head will not be as simple as jealousy, but will also be criticized such as not loving the prosperity of the Zongzhi.

Many people were also worried about the family relationship between King Qi, including the most important Empress Dowager and the Empress Dowager. These two people often persuaded Princess Qi that King Qi is a good person by nature and is definitely not an overly lustful person. It is just because the blood descendants of the Zong family have been withered for a long time, and King Qi is strong and leisurely, so he has taken on more responsibility.

Faced with this kind of persuasion, Princess Qi was not inconvenient to make noise even if she was angry. In short, as long as Prince Qi did not openly commit acts of favoring her concubine and destroying her wife, she could only turn a blind eye to all kinds of absurd behaviors.

Although King Qi had many concubines, he was still quite concerned about his wife's wife, and the couple did not have a broken relationship. This was mainly reflected in the relationship between the two. King Qi had as many children as five. In the second half of the year, the saint returned to the capital. After King Qi stopped his work and returned to his residence, the princess showed her concern again when the year approached.

King Qi got married in the second year of his longevity in Wuzhou, only seven or eight years have passed since. King Qi has already given birth to five children, not including the one who is pregnant.

Excluding the most serious confrontation between the two capitals, King Qi could not live a couple's life in the residence with peace of mind. Such a frequency of childbirth had already caught up with the most affectionate love of the two saints back then. It was almost one year. No one could say that King Qi had a bad relationship.

After all, King Qi was determined and powerful and lived up to expectations, so he could enjoy this blessing of Qi people that everyone envied. There was always a piece of land that was free and easy, but the farmer was too hardworking, so he naturally had to expand more land to farm.

However, with more wives, concubines and children, how to support the family is also a very troublesome problem.

Although King Qi is said to have a prominent official title, a generous salary, and also enjoy the three auxiliary officials of the county and have a constant income every year, the cost of the Zong Wang family is always different from ordinary people. Every time a family member is added, a considerable amount of expenses will be added. If you rely solely on your salary and fief, it will be difficult to maintain the increasing expenses.

Although the court had many methods of slandering the royal family, the sages still cared for two blood brothers who shared weal and woe. In addition to the permanent fiefs, there were many rewards from other places.

However, this part of the industry was not managed by the royal palace, and the net profit was given to the inner treasury after the income and expenditure, which was a considerable income. Moreover, the officials of the royal palace all brought their money to the court, which greatly reduced the expenses of the Prince Qi's mansion itself.

In addition to the rewards from the saints, King Qi worked so hard to add more people to the Zong family, and the Empress Dowager and the Empress Dowager also expressed their own opinions.

Before Zhangzong was posthumously granted the title of title, the Empress Dowager was honored to support the Prince Qi's Mansion as the Imperial Concubine, and all the foods of the Imperial Concubine were included in the royal palace. Although the Empress Dowager had entered the palace, because of the huge expenses of supporting the family, he still signaled to keep this part of the foods of the King of Qi's Mansion.

As for the Empress Dowager, as the direct black hand of the ancestral family, he was even more happy to see King Qi working hard to spread. The supply of wealth and materials in Wanshou Palace is relatively independent. Whenever there are additional employees in the Qi Palace, they will give thousands or even tens of thousands of gifts according to the differences between the legitimate and illegitimate men and women.

So King Qi lived a comfortable life this time, and he had almost no friends. It was not a joke to say that he had no friends. If anyone had such a family, he would not be able to bear the expense of personal relationships alone.

Although there are all kinds of relationships, King Qi takes a concubine today and a son tomorrow, and he is about to develop into an industrial chain. Who can compare and afford to waste it?

The world is inevitable to attract the flames, but it is really hard to rely on the hot momentum of King Qi. Before he could fully drive his horse, King Qi still had some friends who kept coming and going, but gradually everyone felt the taste and felt that he could no longer continue to work hard to enter this bottomless pit.

At present, King Qi is still busy taking concubines and having a child, and has reached such an amazing scale. If you continue to follow up and maintain it, even if King Qi will cultivate his character from now on, you will see if your children will still follow their marriages in more than ten years? It would be better to make a break!

Therefore, the Qi Wang family banquet gradually became a forbidden area for the favorable scene in Beijing. Apart from some relatives and friends who cannot be avoided, idlers dare not easily get involved.

But King Qi himself did not think that he had become a social black hole. His wife and concubines still could not dispel his enthusiasm for communicating with Shiliu. When he was idle in the residence, he was still keen on invitations to hold banquets.

Although there are often not many guests present, which has bothered King Qi for a while, he soon thought about it: if he is in a different place, if he goes to someone else's residence and sees other people's beauties competing for beauty but he has no chance to suffer, he will inevitably feel ashamed and feel sad that he has no chance to have a beauty and loses the fun of a banquet.

"Jiology makes people look ugly and narrow-minded, and they are self-disciplined. Apart from the more people served in the back hall, what's more different about my family and ordinary people?"

Although he often makes such feelings in private, thinking that it is unreasonable for the masses to become alienated because of their jealousy towards them, King Qi also cared about the fragile self-esteem of these friends, reducing the number of banquets held by one's own house, and turning to wandering at banquets from other families, which is also a humble and feast.

Today's banquet was not originally planned by King Qi, but his wife's brother Dugu Qiong. Dugu Qiong followed Xue Na as the general of the Jiuqu Town of the Yellow River in the past year. After Xue Na was transferred to Qinghai's left-behind envoy, Dugu Qiong returned to Beijing to participate in the Ministry of War next year's military service.

After several years of traveling to the frontier, I have returned to the capital with honor, so I naturally have to send my relatives and friends to celebrate. Another more important point is that before Dugu Qiong returned from Qinghai, he visited a group of Qinghai good horses, which is much higher in quality than the large number of horses provided by Taipu Temple on the market.

As the end of the year approaches, the news that the Palace Secretary is about to prepare for the Polo League has already spread throughout the capital, and a group of young people in Beijing are already ready to join the competition. The two most important elements of polo are the athletes and horses.

Therefore, when Dugu Qiong was still on the road, the relatives and friends in the Beijing area, including some children from the Trustee who had not had a deep friendship, closely followed their itinerary.

In this way, the person who had the topic returned to Beijing, even if he didn't know someone, King Qi wanted to get involved, let alone be a relative in the sect. So as early as Dugu Qiong was still on the way, King Qi told him that the first banquet he returned to Beijing was handed over to him.

Dugu Qiong was not in Beijing for a long time, so he didn't know the dangers of the changes in the human relationship in the capital. He felt warm because His Highness Qi did not forget his old actions after becoming noble, so they decided to make a decision.

However, after returning to the capital, his image of His Highness King Qi collapsed in Dugu Qi's understanding, but His Highness King Qi's invitations had been released, so he could only regret it too late.

The banquet was located in Changlefang next to the Dongnei Imperial City. It was called Bieye, but it was actually the new residence of King Qi. Because the Chongrenfang, where the former residence was located, was not enough to show the closeness of brothers, the saint ordered the same king to build a new residence in Changlefang.

The diary has been completed, but because the king is still in the Waidian army to fight against the Six Divines of the Southern Barbarians, he will have to wait until the king returns to the court next year to officially enter the new diary together.

This new residence is generous and grand. King Qi arranged the banquet here, which is enough to show his importance to Dugu Qiong, his brother-in-law, and he did not do anything perfunctory.

However, the recipient of this enthusiasm is not at the moment. Although many friends had already sent a message to the banquet before, Dugu Qiong, as one of the protagonists, naturally couldn't let King Qi Gee, so he came to the Changlefang royal residence early in the morning.

"In recent years, the prices of materials in Beijing are high, and old friends may also be busy preparing gifts and may not have time to attend and have fun together. Your Highness might as well order the staff to prepare materials for a little while. After the guests arrive at the residence, they will make additional supplements. You can avoid wasting your intention to prepare the materials for banquets."

Seeing that King Qi was still busy urging the servants to prepare materials, Dugu Qiong was a little moved, but he couldn't help but give a brief reminder: You are already notorious in Beijing, so you have no idea?

"I have been practicing abroad for many years, and Dugu Wu is indeed more capable and pragmatic than in previous years. But there is no need to be pessimistic about human feelings. Although the market has been spread silently for a long time, friendship is free in my heart. I have friends from old age and I know that you have returned to the capital, who doesn't come to see you? Since I have a banquet to lead you back to the world, I naturally have to be thorough and perfect. If there is a lack of wine and food in the banquet, what kind of decency is there?"

However, King Qi could not hear Dugu Qiong's indulgence in his words. He only said that he was timid in returning home and was worried that he would be neglected by the masses, so he turned around and patted him on the shoulder and comforted him with a smile.

After hearing this, Dugu Qiong couldn't help but twitch the corner of his mouth, confirming that King Qi really had no self-knowledge, and of course he would not have such concerns. The greetings and letters he received along the way in Guijing came to the post, but now he was forced to get into the hands of King Qi, and the treatment that the masses competed for was destined to be no longer available.

Before he finished complaining about it, he heard King Qi laughing and said, "My family has the most no shortage of people who are waiting to eat. Even if there is a surplus of materials in the banquet, it will never be wasted."

After hearing King Qi's boast like this, Dugu Qiong simply closed his mouth. No one would argue with him after hearing this, and His Highness King Qi was definitely not bragging. Although this man was ignorant of himself, he was at least happy.

As the banquet was set up, guests also visited.

There are few people in this world who deserve to be the one who can come out to welcome him and see him off in person, so King Qi just sat in the hall and chatted with Dugu Qiong about some anecdotes in Qinghai. The main focus was on the scenery of the new Shunzhou Governor Guo Yuanzhen, who was far away in the border but famous in the capital.

People have different experiences and encounters, and new connections will always arise. Although King Qi did not realize the distantness of his old friends, he also had Guo Yuanzhen, a new friend with similar interests.

However, as Guo Yuanzhen became more and more successful, he was now a border guard. As the prince in Beijing, King Qi was not able to communicate freely with letters as he had in previous years, and his concern for friends could only be stopped at the time of resigning to the land and the situation.

When Dugu Qiong heard that Guo Yuanzhen gave him new words, his style changed drastically. Not only did he stop accepting new things, but some women from various departments who were admitted in the early years were repatriated one after another, King Qi couldn't help but sigh: "The world is like a net, and everyone is in it."

Guo was lucky to be in good times, and his willpower was stretched, but he could not help but feel troubled. He couldn't do both. I still hope that he could have a good time to return to the court next year, but although he met for a while, he was afraid that he would just be a boring person, and he was wrong after all..."

When Dugu Qiong heard this sigh, he didn't know where to complain. Why do you think it would be a very respectful thing to have a son-in-law like you in my family? Why do you have the courage to say this in front of me? What's more, except the Tian family, who can afford to raise a stallion like you?

Dugu Qiong was so sad that he couldn't tell the truth that he complained so much that he stopped talking to this guy and focused more on the guests coming one after another. He wanted to see who was not afraid of death, and even dared to jump into the sinkhole of the Prince Qi Mansion.

Although King Qi was cold in social occasions in Beijing, he was not always deserted. The first person to attend was King Xinping Li Qianli, the supporter of King Xinping. There were several sects who followed King Xinping, including Li Yi, who made outstanding achievements in the Qinghai War and even the saints praised him.

The impact of the Qinghai victory has not yet subsided, so Li Yifan must be the focus of the crowd when he appears. King Qi was also very intimate about the young family of the clan. He pulled Dugu Qiong to stand up to greet them, and smiled at them: "You two are heroes who won the merits in Qinghai. The battlefield was vast at that time, and they might not have the fate to meet each other. Now that we are gathering in the capital, we can describe the friendship of the chariot in detail."

The victory in Qinghai is the common glory of all the soldiers participating in the war. When they learned that each other had such an experience, they naturally became familiar with each other quickly. They talked about some experiences on the battlefield. The people who listened could not help but sway their hearts, and they all imagined the magnificent scene of the golden swords and iron horses that were so arrogant that they were enchanting.

Dugu Qiong's troops were led by Xue Ne for thousands of miles, and attacked the enemy in the tactically, winning the tactical situation, while Li Yi and others attacked the tough head-on, so the main thing that was popular after the war was the prestigious achievements of the main soldiers such as Li Yi.

But only when you are on the battlefield in Qinghai can you understand how hard it is to detour from Jiuqu to Jishi Mountain. Without Jiuqu people and horses, Jiyu City may not be able to win so neatly.

But there are no rude and difficult poisons in this world. Li Guer was about to board the car and leave, but Princess Taiping's car drove into the residence. Seeing the lady from afar, Princess Taiping only raised her hand and pointed at her with a smile: "As the age is getting older, your lady is becoming more and more respectful. As the car enters the residence, she will come to meet her."

Facing this aunt, Li Guer couldn't act as if no one was around. After hearing this, he walked a little embarrassedly. A few stiff smiles were squeezed out on his pretty face, and he said something against his will: "I know that my aunt has not yet entered the residence, so Guer has been waiting here."

"There is no stubbornness and ignorance. After all, you are soft-hearted and lazy, cousin!"

Seeing the woman facing Princess Taiping, she changed her face. King Qi pointed at the British Duke and couldn't help but sigh, shook his head and muttered: "After all, my young mother is still more agile and cute."
