In the East Garden of the Xianwang Mansion, there is continuous laughter and laughter, which is also mixed with the melodious sound of silk and bamboo. In the distance, you can see several slender girls dancing in the courtyard.

The sleeves of their soft and wide robes fluttered in the air like giant butterfly wings. The thin and soft robe didn't seem to be able to wrap around the peak that was about to erupt. The slender and soft waist writhed tirelessly and frantically. In the light rotation, under the wavy skirt, the most hidden slender jade feet of the daughter's family appear and disappear.

The girls danced around a black-clothed young man who was dancing with a sword, and the young man was about to fly, and the long sword pierced through the air with a hundred butterflies, undulating like a sword fairy coming to the world.

Hua Lianyue was stupid, and suddenly stomped her feet and said angrily: "Feng Qi has such a peerless appearance, but he has been hiding on the cargo ship and refusing to show it. Otherwise, I can also learn two tricks. It won't be a long day, relying on chess to pass the time. ”

Liu Hui glanced at her, but Quan Dang didn't hear it, and only strode towards the eldest princess Liu Ling, who was sitting in the center.

Liu Ling was wearing a bright red dark butterfly pattern soft robe, covered with a multicolored carved silk stone blue and silver mouse robe. The head full of green silk was pulled into a loose Flying Immortal Chasing Moon Bun, two red gold cloisonné warm jade fire phoenixes with pearl hairpins, and thin golden tassels dangled lightly in front of her smooth forehead.

Although Liu Ling is not as young as a girl in the flower season, she has a charming style that a girl does not have. Especially her delicate and silky skin, the tall and straight squirting out, the slender and straight thighs, and the eyes that are always glowing with a light mist..... It's like a gorgeous peony in full bloom, enough to make all men crazy.

Liu Ling held a golden chisel cloud dragon pattern inlaid beaded wine glass in his hand, but he didn't send it to his mouth, but a pair of watery eyes were firmly staring at Feng Qi's nimble and churning figure. She bit her red lip, and the flush on her cheeks was like the sunset on the horizon.

Liu Hui had already walked in front of her, and swept it over with a faint glance, and the musicians who were playing music on both sides got up and saluted: "I've seen the prince!"

The dancing girls also stopped and bowed one after another. Their cheeks are flushed, their hair is slightly messy, and they are panting, which is unique in the eyes of men.

It's a pity that Liu Hui's eyes were only on Liu Ling, and he saw him hugging his fists and said, "I don't know what the imperial sister is doing when she comes to my little Xianwang Mansion?"

Liu Ling saw that Feng Qi had already put away the sword in his hand, and a trace of regret flashed in his eyes. She drank all the wine in her hand before turning her eyes on Liu Hui opposite.

The corners of his lips are curled into a lazy smile. Liu Ling flicked his sleeves and said angrily: "I haven't seen you for a long time, Ah Hui is still as cold and boring as before." You see, there is wine and meat here, there are beautiful women dancing in the city, and there are handsome chivalrous warriors dancing swords. Ah Hui, you might as well sit down and enjoy it with the imperial sister. ”

When she said about the handsome chivalry, a pair of beautiful eyes fell on Feng Qi without any scruples. I don't know whether it was intentional or unintentional, she also stretched out the tip of her red tongue and gently licked the remaining wine at the corner of her lips.

That provocative action, that aggressive look. Although Feng Qi's face was expressionless, Hua Lianyue could clearly see that his fists hanging by his side were quietly clenched, and the green tendons on the back of his hands were like small snakes winding.

It seems that Liu Ling's naked-naked-naked seduction is not a good fortune for Feng Qi, but a great insult. After muttering secretly in her heart for a while, Hua Lianyue raised her voice and said, "Feng Qi, go to the cellar and bring the good Tu Su from the altar." The eldest princess rarely came to the Xianwang Mansion once, and she must be treated. ”

"Yes!" Feng Qi clenched his fist at Hua Lianyue, his eyes were full of gratitude. Then he turned around neatly and walked away quickly with long legs.

"You ......" Liu Ling was stunned for a moment, and opened her mouth as if she wanted to call Feng Qi. It's a pity that Feng Qi walked too fast, as if he was being chased by a ghost, and quickly disappeared in front of people. Liu Ling had no choice but to retract her gaze, and when she looked at Hua Lianyue again, her eyes were a little scrutinizing and displeased.

Hua Lianyue didn't seem to notice her unhappiness, stepped forward quickly, took the wine jug on the table with her own hands, filled Liu Ling's wine glass, and said with a smile: "I didn't know that the eldest princess arrived, and she didn't prepare good wine and food, she really deserves to be punished, deserved!"

She looked sideways at Liu Hui again, and said with a smile like a flower: "Ah Hui, don't sit down yet, accompany the eldest princess to have a few drinks!"

Liu Ling didn't seem to expect Hua Lianyue to be so enthusiastic, she was stunned, and a touch of meaning flashed in her eyes. She beckoned to Liu Hui with a smile and said, "Yes, Ah Hui is going to sit next to the imperial sister!" Liu Ling is domineering, and she regards herself as the master of the palace.

Liu Hui lowered his eyes, and his always handsome and noble face was more sharp and cold. He quickly retreated, then took a few steps forward and sat down beside Liu Ling.

Liu Ling smiled and looked at him with a wine glass, Liu Hui also slowly picked up the wine glass and touched her lightly, and then raised his head and drank it all.

The atmosphere that had been a little deserted became warm again. The musician plucked the strings, and the melodious sound sounded again. Accompanied by the music, the girls who danced before spun like spinning tops, their skirts fluttered, and their hair fluttered, but unfortunately the tall young figure was missing in the middle, and they could no longer arouse Liu Ling's interest.

Her slender fingers turned the wine glass in her hand, but her eyes fell on Hua Lianyue, who was already sitting next to Liu Hui. She saw her eyebrows fluttering, and slapped her face from time to time to shout hello. Liu Ling pursed her lips, she used to think she was quite smart, but now she has become stupid.

These dancing girls are either innocent, or charming, or slender, or plump, but their eyes looking at Liu Hui are full of affection and expectation. And she can still sit on Mount Tai quietly with Hua Lianyue, isn't she worried that Liu Hui will be seduced?

Liu Ling coughed lightly, put down the wine glass, and said with a smile: "Ah Hui, these maids from the palace can sing and dance very well-behaved, and I don't see the queen mother reward a few for me, but they are all sent to your Xianwang Mansion, it can be seen that the queen mother cherishes you." ”

Liu Hui raised the wine glass in his hand and said expressionlessly: "If the imperial sister likes it, I will let the housekeeper set up a carriage and send all these maids who can sing and dance to your princess's mansion." ”

Liu Ling was choked, she snorted, and said with a reluctant smile: "Ah Hui is really good at coaxing people, the person given by the queen mother, you dare to give it to me, I don't dare to accept it!"

Liu Hui hooked the corners of his lips and showed a light smile. It's just that such a smile that doesn't reach the bottom of his eyes seems to have a mockery hidden in Liu Ling's eyes. Liu Ling was even more annoyed, but thinking about the purpose of this trip, he had to suppress the anger in his heart.

She glanced at Hua Lianyue and saw that she was holding a silver spoon and chewing a piece of pastry in her mouth, and she actually looked like she was waiting to see a good show.

Liu Ling snorted again, retracted her gaze, and said to Liu Hui meaningfully: "Ah Hui, it's not the imperial sister who said you." What comes out of the palace, even the kittens and dogs are more noble than others. How can you get them to do such menial work as cleaning the yard and serving flowers and trees? If the queen mother knew that her kindness had been so ruined, she would be sad. ”

Liu Hui said lightly: "That being said, but the population in my palace is thin, and I really don't need so many people to serve me." And I asked before, and what they do in the palace is mostly sprinkling and sweeping, needlework. If they really feel that they have been wronged by sprinkling and serving flowers and trees in my palace, it is better to ask the imperial sister to take the initiative and send them out to reunite with their families, which can be regarded as a supreme merit. ”

Liu Ling was speechless again, and she secretly squeezed the wine cup in her hand. After half a ring, Cai Pi said with a smile: "These are specially given to you by the queen mother, I don't dare to overstep my responsibilities and send them out on your behalf." ”

Their conversation was not deliberately muffled, and most of the people present could hear it clearly. Hearing that Liu Hui had the intention of letting them out, the expressions on the girls' faces became subtle. After all, not everyone wants to be a man's plaything, and if there is another choice, I believe many people will be willing to be with their loved ones.

Hua Lianyue smiled and lowered her eyes, but she didn't expect Liu Hui to think of a place with her. These girls who came out of the palace, although they all had the careful idea of climbing the dragon and attaching the phoenix, but after all, they had not done anything hurtful to the heavens and reason.

But after being in the house for a long time, I am afraid that they will have many delusions. The best way is to send out those who still have good intentions first. If there are still people who don't want to leave, then they can't be blamed for being ruthless.

Liu Ling mentioned the conversation several times, but Liu Hui blocked it, and he couldn't help but become anxious. So he squinted his eyes slightly, and quietly turned around Hua Lianyue. I didn't expect this girl to be stupid, but too shrewd. actually held Liu Hui, who has always been shrewd and capable, firmly in his hands, so he can be so fearless!

Liu Ling thought about it, and her heart couldn't help but feel strong disdain. These lowly maids were sent away, but one day, the real virtuous princess would be welcomed into the door. How proud you are now, how disappointed you will be then!

Thinking of this, Liu Ling curled the corners of her red lips and revealed a vicious smile. So he temporarily let go of the mind of chaotic beauties, and while enjoying the song and dance, he gossiped with Liu Hui.

Hua Lianyue also listened quietly, and it didn't take long for her to finally realize the true purpose of Liu Ling's trip. It turned out that it was still for the military quartermaster case, and Liu Ling came to find out the details of the military quartermaster case. Although it is a small talk, it can tell the truth that you want to know when the other party is relaxed.

However, Liu Hui knows Liu Ling very well, how could he fall into her trap. Liu Ling only got a few specious words from him, but he never found out the core secret of the munitions case, and finally left in a huff.

Liu Ling left the Xianwang Mansion and did not go back to her princess's mansion, but went directly to the palace and went to see Queen Xie, who was known to the outside world as having a headache and closed the palace to recuperate.

Empress Xie sat in front of the bookcase and copied Buddhist scriptures, and on her left hand side there was a stack of gold-sprinkled paper sticks full of hairpins, and the handwriting was all from the queen's hand. Although the doors and windows were closed, wisps of cold wind still crept in through the cracks. The stack of paper sticks seemed to be flipped by a large invisible hand, and it made a soft sound from time to time.

"Mother, how can you still sit still. Liu Ling held back the fire in King Xian's Mansion, and she had no scruples when she spoke. She stood in front of the bookcase and said angrily: "The prince hasn't returned to Beijing yet, and Liu Hui refuses to show his tone at all, so I'm really angry." ”

Empress Xie put down the purple bamboo wolf pen in her hand and rubbed her wrist, which was a little sore. Then carefully pick up the paper slip that had just been written, gently dry the ink on it, and put it together with the stack of paper marks.

"Queen Mother!" Liu Ling was depressed in her heart, and wanted to open her mouth to encourage a few words. Empress Xie glanced at her coldly, Liu Ling's heart was shocked, and she immediately stopped her mouth obediently.

Empress Xie looked away, her hand brushed over the stack of paper sticks that exuded the fragrance of ink, and said slowly: "You kid, everything is fine, but you can't hold your breath." ”

Liu Ling turned around and sat down on the chair covered with thick cushions on the side, and said angrily: "The queen mother is calm, you know, I just met Zhen Zhaoyi and the Nine Emperor Princes outside the Qianqing Palace. When she saw me, she didn't salute, and pretended to say that my father was in a bad mood in the past two days, and she had to be amused by the Nine Emperors to eat in front of her. ”

Liu Ling sneered again and again when she said this, took a big sip of the tea in her hand, and then continued: "If this was before, where would she dare to be so bold. No matter how much his father dotes on the Ninth Emperor, he is only a little baby of three or four years old, can he still cross the crown prince! It's just a temporary assistant to the Sixth Palace, but she forgets her form proudly!"

A hint of anger flashed in Empress Xie's eyes, but she quickly covered it up. She picked up the brush and dipped it in ink, writing slowly on a brand new paper stick. But he said: "As long as it can make your father happy, what does it matter if she is proud for a few days." ”

The Nine Emperors are too young after all, and Ren Zhen Zhaoyi jumps up and down again, but she is still destined to become the climate.

Liu Ling naturally knows this truth, but she relies on the emperor's love, and she has always been rampant in this harem. was suddenly so neglected, naturally he wanted to get this scene back.

Empress Xie raised her eyes and saw that her face was cloudy, and the juanpa in her hand was almost wrenched, so she knew that she had not listened to her words. Empress Xie couldn't help but sigh softly, and slowly persuaded: "Ling'er, I know you're not convinced.

However, the military case really made your father too angry, and it was the descendants of the Xie family who committed the crime. It is inevitable that your father will be angry with me, and that he will be angry. The purpose is to give the Xie family a warning, hoping that they will be honest and not make too much trouble. ”

Liu Ling's eyes flashed with an inexplicable light, she no longer chattered and complained, and seemed to be in deep thought. It didn't take long for her to seem to figure something out, so she hurriedly took her leave and left.

Silence returned to the warm pavilion, save for the rustle of the brush as it moved quickly across the paper stick. Soon, a piece of paper was full again. The queen put down the brush again and carefully put away the written paper stick. She rubbed her swollen temples and slowly closed her eyes.

Her heart is not as calm and relaxed as it appears on her face, and it is the first time that the emperor has been angry with her because of the Xie family's crimes. Does this mean that the emperor has begun to be dissatisfied with the Xie family, and even has doubts about himself and the crown prince?

"Someone!" Empress Xie stood up and called out in a loud voice.

The palace maid who was waiting outside immediately opened the door curtain and walked in: "What do you command?"

Empress Xie pointed to the stack of paper sticks and said, "These are some of the diamond scriptures copied by the palace herself, and you can send them to the Queen Mother." ”

"Yes!" the maid left with a thick paper stick.

But the queen still sat behind the bookcase, not moving. She has never been a person who sits still, and if she wants to end her retreat and take back the right to manage the six palaces, she has to take the initiative.
