"Cheng Huan. ”

There was boundless Xiao Suo in the hoarse voice, and the man came out of the darkness, and the dim yellow light of the palace lamp on the side of the road shone faintly on his face, it was Xiao Shaoyun.

He was dressed in a warm coat as before, but the breath around him was cold as ice for no reason, and there was only a trace of warmth in his dark eyes, but no one could warm him.

Qiu Yue stepped forward with an arrow step, protecting Bai Chenghuan in front of him, looking at the deposed emperor who suddenly appeared here as if he were facing a great enemy.

Xiao Shaoyun looked at the palace maids who suddenly surrounded her, and the sadness in her heart was a little colder than this cold weather.

In the past, he also took her hand and wandered in the night of this deep palace, whether she was happy or sad, the two of them always depended on each other.

But the dignified woman in front of him is no longer his queen, between them, after all, it is out of reach, and even if he can stand in front of her at this time, he doesn't know what else he can say.

Bai Chenghuan's eyes only stayed on him for a moment, retreated slightly, turned around and left.

The last time we met in the barracks, perhaps because of the uncovering of the past, she only had anger and accusations in her heart.

But at this moment, even if there was a moment of pity passing through her heart, she didn't know what else to say when she saw this person again.

"Cheng Huan!"

Xiao Shaoyun shouted blankly behind her, but she couldn't make her stop, and Bai Chenghuan still walked away without looking back.

With the meaning of never seeing each other again in this life, so decisive.

Xiao Shaoyun stood in the cold wind, and the position of his heart seemed to be completely hollowed out.

He didn't really know what he was going to say, he just wanted to come and say goodbye to her, and tell him that he was about to leave and would never come back.

But he never had a chance to leave first, he could only be the one who was left behind by her, because he had failed her so much.

"I've finally seen each other for the last time...... No, I guess it meant that she took one last look at you, was she satisfied?"

Wei Wan stood quietly behind Xiao Shaoyun, a little happy to see him so depressed, he felt that he should have died when he saw that person so ruthless, but he felt sad, he would rather watch that person leave in such despair than look back at himself standing behind him.

"Aren't you satisfied?"

The moment he heard Wei Wan's voice, the originally depressed and desperate person immediately erected the thorns all over his body like a hedgehog, and when he turned around, the atmosphere between the two immediately turned into-for-tat.

Wei Wan smiled:

"I'm naturally satisfied, and I feel very satisfied to see that you can't get the love you have in this life. ”

"Wei Wan!"

Xiao Shaoyun gritted his teeth and spit out two words, brushing his sleeves away.

Wei Wan's smile was still on her face indifferently, as if she could make Xiao Shaoyun angry like thunder, which was simply a great interest.

When Bai Chenghuan came out of the Lumen Palace, she thought she was silent, but she forgot that she was now the queen's honor, even if she was not prominent, the people who came out around her were enough to attract attention, not to mention the emperor who was always watching her.

When she walked back to the side door under the eaves, Xiao Shaotang was standing there looking at her with his hands in his hands.

She raised her head, and Xiao Shaotang stretched out his hand to her from the steps, his eyes were still full of smiles:

"It's so cold, you have to go to breathe, why did you go for so long?"

"It's been a long time, it's not more than a quarter of an hour. ”

Bai Chenghuan handed him his hand, went up the steps, and looked at him with a smile:

"Don't you ask me where I went?"

"Don't ask, this is our home, you walk around your own home, what else do I want to do?"

Xiao Shaotang reached out and hugged her tightly, the tiara and hair ornament of the two gently collided together, and his low voice lingered in her ear:

"You only have me in your heart, and I am not afraid of anything. ”

Bai Chenghuan listened, first stunned, and then the smile in his eyes gradually deepened.

Yes, it's not that he doesn't know who she met, but he and Xiao Shaoyun are different.

He believed that she would only have him in her heart, and he would not deal with Xiao Shaoyun like Xiao Shaoyun killed Yao Zejia back then.

It's nice to be such a person.

When the king of Anxi and the king of Rongping came out to drink together, they saw the figure of the emperor and queen standing in arms.

King Anxi hurriedly turned around and laughed a few times:

"Don't look at indecency, don't look at indecency...... The deep affection of the emperor and queen is the blessing of the society!"

The King of Rongping stared at them for a while, and then turned around and avoided with the King of Anxi, and said slowly:

"Those who can be married to the Venerable Master with one heart and who are well in this world are blessed. ”

The king of Anxi looked at the king of Rongping and was surprised:

"Listen to the tone of the virtuous nephew, but you have a sweetheart?"

"Well, there it is. ”

The king of Rongping County is in the clan, he is a notoriously cold and noble son, silent and not much to say, as the Zongzheng King of Anxi County did not bother for his marriage, at this time seeing that he admitted it so simply, the King of Anxi County immediately asked:

"Okay, great! The virtuous nephew just said which lady it was, and Uncle Wang made the decision for you to ask the emperor to give you a marriage!"

"There's no hurry. ”

King Rongping is still so taciturn.

The king of Anxi has already begun to go through all the current ladies in the capital in his heart, and is ready to go back and talk to the rich about this matter, and let his wife go out to do it herself.

When Bai Chenghuan and Xiao Shaotang returned to the Lumen Palace, Mrs. Li was still there, and Duchess Weiguo had disappeared.

"Mother, where is Mrs. Xu?"

Bai Chenghuan asked Li.

Li Shi was also a little puzzled:

As she was talking, she saw someone looking for her, muttered a few words and left, saying that there was something going on in the house, and she couldn't wait for you to come back, so she went back first. ”

Except for Xu Chengle, who has not yet returned, everyone in the family has come to the palace for a banquet, what can happen?

Bai Chenghuan thought about it and didn't feel at ease, and then looked at Xiao Shaotang's side, Wei Guogong and Xu Chenglin were also bidding farewell to Xiao Shaotang.

"What's going on at home?"

Bai Chenghuan, the mother's temperament, knew that ordinary things would never make her do anything to quit in the middle of the palace banquet.

Wei Guogong glanced at Bai Chenghuan awkwardly and remained silent.

Or Xu Chenglin opened his mouth:

"Don't worry, it's just a little thing, my father and I will go back, and then let someone enter the palace to report to you. ”

And the ministers on one side have long been watching every move on this side.

In front of everyone's eyes, Bai Chenghuan also knew that he couldn't ask any more, so he had to let them go out of the palace and return home, but Bai Chenghuan's heart was still covered with an invisible haze.

The next palace banquet seemed a little absent-minded, but none of the female relatives dared to say anything, and after the hour, the night gradually deepened, and this Chinese New Year's Eve palace banquet ended.

Xiao Shaotang and Bai Chenghuan also returned to the Huaqing Hall where they lived.

According to the practice of Daqi, the queen's residence has always been Shangyang Palace, but Shangyang Palace has been blocked for many years, and in Bai Chenghuan's heart, it is Queen Qiao's place, and there is still a tablet of Queen Qiao enshrined in it, and she is not willing to disturb her.

And Zhaoyang Hall and Huayang Palace, because they were once the residences of the abolished emperor Xiao Shaoyun and the abolished guard Wan, were also drawn out by Xiao Shaotang.

And the palace originally had several concubines left by Emperor Xiaozong, at this time it was no longer suitable to live in the palace, and they all went out of the palace to practice, and the Ministry of Industry finally repaired the most intact Huaqing Hall in the harem and made a residence for the new emperor.

And the harem of Daqi does not have the rule that the emperor and the queen live separately, and Xiao Shaotang and Bai Chenghuan still live together as if they were in the Qin Palace.

After washing, Bai Chenghuan still sat on the soft couch and refused to sleep, holding a stove in his arms, and was extremely silent under the lamp.

Xiao Shaotang knew that she was worried about Wei Guogong's family.

He walked over, took her into his arms, and tried to comfort her:

"Why don't you sleep yet, is it possible to really prepare for the New Year? Tomorrow you will worship your ancestors and hold a New Year's Day palace banquet, how can you not rest well? Don't worry too much about the Weiguo Mansion, don't worry, Xu Shizi also said, it is some trivial matter, the Duchess of Weiguo will definitely enter the palace tomorrow, and you can ask her when the time comes. ”

"If it's a trivial matter, how can it alarm them all to go back?"

Bai Chenghuan was always unassured, leaning on his forehead and leaning on his arms worried.

Xiao Shaotang thought about it and said:

"I have already ordered someone to go out of the palace to inquire about the Weiguo Mansion, and I think there will be news in a while. If you're really not at ease, I'll wait with you. ”

"Good. ”

Bai Chenghuan responded and obediently fell into his arms.

The wind outside is getting louder, and the room is warm and quiet, which has been renovated.

In the empty but not cold hall, Xiao Shaotang suddenly spoke:

"Cheng Huan, he handed me a fold and wanted to leave the capital. ”

The person in his arms was silent for a long time, and after a while, Xiao Shaotang thought she was asleep, only to hear her low voice:

"Since he wants to leave, then, let him go. ”

"Good. ”

Xiao Shaotang agreed without hesitation.

Such a person who makes people feel uncomfortable, who can't be killed, stays in a place where they can see, always like a grain of sand under the human eye, not fatal, but disgusting enough.

Although he had also thought about it, just letting him watch their husband and wife love each other and have children like this was not a kind of torture for Xiao Shaoyun.

But he didn't want to see Cheng Huan again being shrouded in the shadows of the past from time to time and depressed.

After a while, Bai Chenghuan whispered to Xiao Shaotang about all kinds of rumors on the side of the female dependents at tonight's dinner, and then his voice gradually lowered as he spoke.

Xiao Shaotang only quietly hugged Bai Chenghuan on the soft couch, and it took almost a quarter of an hour before he cautiously looked down to see that she had fallen asleep.

After all, she is pregnant, although Bai Chenghuan does not have much morning sickness, but she is getting sleepy day by day, and she is busy all day, and at this time, she is also sleepy.

As he spoke, he was already sleepy, and there was a haggard green shadow under his eyelids that had removed his makeup.

Xiao Shaotang carefully carried her back to the bed, looked at her face that was getting thinner and thinner, and sighed softly.

He really didn't know if it was too hard to get pregnant, or too hard to be a queen.

In the past, the woman who was full of energy and could march with him day and night was still full of energy, but she was already tired like this in just half a month as a queen.

Either way, he couldn't share it for her.

There was a slight voice outside the hall, Sanxi, who had already been a royal guard, came back from outside the palace, Shao Hui walked in, and was about to report it, Xiao Shaotang made a silent gesture to her.

Only then did Shao Hui see Bai Chenghuan who was asleep.

She quietly stepped back and waved at Sanxi for him to wait.

Sanxi stood aside and stared at Shaohui.

Shao Hui is no longer the girl bought by the countryside of the Bai family in Yuzhou, she has followed Bai Chenghuan for so long, she has seen it from a wealthy family, and she has also seen the sword and shadow, and even now she has become the person that the queen relies on the most.

All this is like a dream to her, but it is undeniable that her experience and temperament have become rich and calm.

Just like Sanxi staring at her at this moment, she will never be annoyed or shy like an ordinary woman, but looks at Sanxi with a calm expression:

"What does Guard Wu have to say?"

Sanxi then lightly put aside his gaze, and his face was not shocked:

"Nothing. ”

He also found out that the little girl Shao Hui had unconsciously become different from before.

Shao Hui didn't speak anymore, and the two faced each other silently, standing outside waiting for Hou Xiao Shaotang.

Xiao Shaotang settled Bai Chenghuan with his own hands, and then put on his coat again and walked out.

"What the hell happened to the Duke of Weiguo?"

In fact, Xiao Shaotang knew very well in his heart that the change in the Weiguo Mansion tonight was by no means a trivial matter.

But in Sanxi's view, it's not a big deal:

"I went to the lowly office, and I didn't see the masters of the Weiguo Mansion, but the lowly office inquired, and said that an aunt in the house caused something wrong, which alarmed the Weiguo Duke and the Weiguo Duchess, and detained the aunt to the main courtyard. ”

"Not long after the lowly post arrived there, the Weiguo Mansion had already banned entry and exit inside and outside, and began to check people, and the lowly office was afraid that the people of the Weiguo Mansion would find out, so he came back first. But I thought about it humbly, a mere aunt shouldn't be a big deal. ”

Just an aunt...... In the Weiguo Mansion, the only one who can cause trouble to this point is probably Aunt Zhu.

Xiao Shaotang groaned for a while, then ordered Sanxi and Shao Hui to go down, temporarily put away the questions full of questions, entered the inner room, and lay down next to Bai Chenghuan.

Bai Chenghuan slept in the dark and sweet, and slept until dawn before waking up.

Seeing that the time to worship her ancestors was about to be missed, Mama Zhong was in a hurry outside.

Not to mention that this royal ancestor worship is not comparable to ordinary people, let's just say that ordinary people definitely do not have the first day of the New Year, and the women in the family sleep until this time!

However, the emperor still does not allow anyone to call the queen mother to get up, this will be known by the ministers, and they will definitely be harsh on the queen mother!

When Bai Chenghuan was sober in a hazy way, the first thought was the same-

"Shake Hui!Mama Zhong!What time is it?!"

The first New Year's Day of being a queen got up late, and Bai Chenghuan was panicked and confused.

After quickly grooming and dressing up, Bai Chenghuan stepped out of the door of Huaqing Palace, Xiao Shaotang's shoulders were already waiting outside, and Sixi was waiting on the side.

"Don't worry, the queen mother, the emperor has already ordered, wait until you pass before starting, it won't be too late!"

Seeing Bai Chenghuan's hurried appearance, Sixi persuaded him loudly.

At this point, Bai Chenghuan didn't want to say anything, got on his shoulder, and went all the way to the Taiqing Palace where the ancestors were worshiped in the palace.
