"Holy Maiden, did I wake you up?" Xiao Mao brought Chen Qinghuan a cup of tea, with an apologetic face.

Chen Qinghuan shook his head, "No, I haven't gotten used to living yet, so I slept lightly, what did you just quarrel with outside the house?" ”

"Just now, Queen Sheng'an came to visit you, and when she saw that you were sleeping, she didn't bother, and Queen Sheng'an pulled out a few palace maids with unclean mouths, and those palace maids were talking about the second princess outside, and I was trying to teach them a lesson. ”

"So, what did they say about me?" Chen Qinghuan had long expected that there would be some gossip, and he didn't take it to heart.

"I haven't asked yet, but it's certainly not a good thing to say. "Xiao Mao was angry when he talked about those people, when the saint was in Yanguo, who dared to talk about her casually?" ”

Chen Qinghuan looked outside the house, there was no one at all, "The people you said probably slipped away." ”

Xiao Mao looked back when she heard this, and sure enough, there was no one left, she stomped her feet, looking more angry than the person concerned, "Next time I hear someone say the rights and wrongs of the saint, I will definitely not spare him." ”

"Okay, it's not cost-effective to be angry and hurt your liver and spleen. "If you want to teach people, there will be opportunities in the future.

Xiao Mao was helpless and didn't mention this matter anymore, "Empress Sheng'an asked the holy woman to go to the morning court tomorrow to wait, it should be to announce the news of the saint's return to China." ”

"I see. ”

Chen Qinghuan got up to clean up and wanted to go to the yard to bask in the sun, but the sun stood on the top of the mountain in the west, and it was about to fall into the night. She looked at the sunset, and always felt that there were a few fewer people in this empty courtyard.

They had a fairly clean night, but rumors about the second princess had spread all over the place.

Ten to ten, ten to hundred, the palace maids who mistook Xiao Mao for the second princess said with their eyebrows, "The second princess is not as good-looking as Sister Juan'er, if you want me to say, Sister Juan'er is more like a princess than her." ”

"What nonsense. The female official named Juan'er sneered, but her face was very proud.

"I heard that the maid in the eldest princess's palace was taught a lesson by the second princess, isn't that second princess very fierce?"

"Wouldn't it?" several people were surprised, "The second princess dared to teach the eldest princess a lesson." ”

"Eh, tomorrow the second princess will wait outside the court for summons, do you want to go and see the excitement?"

"Go, I think if you put some rouge on your face tomorrow, maybe you will look better than the second princess." ”

The second princess, who was abandoned by Yanguo and returned to China, completely became a laughing stock in the palace, and several grandmothers also said, "When the second princess was not out of the palace back then, a few of us didn't even bother to send food in her palace, if it weren't for Queen Sheng'an, it is estimated that she would have starved to death." ”

After hearing this, everyone laughed again, looking forward to seeing the laughing stock deity tomorrow.

The Zhaoyang Palace, where the eldest princess is located, is not idle at the moment, the maid who slipped back to the palace is kneeling on the ground and crying, the eldest princess on the peacock chair listened with a smile, and spit out a sentence for a long time, "You are really useless." ”

She didn't seem to be angry, she just listened to a joke, her slender and bright eyes exuded coldness, and her beautiful face looked like Sheng An.

The maid didn't dare to cry anymore, this is the expression that the eldest princess only has when she is unhappy, "The slave knows her mistake." ”

"Knives like water. The eldest princess changed her posture and stretched out each word very long when she pronounced her name, "I thought she would die in a foreign land, but she still had her life to come back." Let's meet her tomorrow, just new and old hatreds together. ”

If Chen Qinghuan can hear this, he will definitely be confused, the new hatred can barely be counted as a maid, where does the old hatred come from?

"Thank you to the eldest princess for administering justice to the slaves. The maid kowtowed in thanksgiving.

Seeing that she was still kneeling at her feet, Dao Ruonuan was a little impatient, "If you get in the way, don't retreat." ”

"Yes, yes. ”

The air was filled with the smell of imminent movement, and the palace people in the palace couldn't help but mourn in silence for the second princess who had never met.

As the candles went out and the night fell silent, a small candlelight burned in Sheng An's dormitory, and she stroked a cracked jade pendant, endless attachment and remorse appeared in her eyes.

Paper can't contain fire, she obviously understands this truth, but she still let everyone fall into an infinite whirlpool of lies, Yan Xici, maybe she will not let her go in this life.

The atmosphere of the court this morning was particularly strange, the ministers heard some rumors, but they did not dare to ask easily, and the chief eunuch shouted another sentence to retreat from the court, and the ministers in the hall couldn't help but make eye contact.

Chen Qinghuan waited outside the hall for nearly half an hour, she didn't apply powder today, and her clothes were simple, she couldn't see her face clearly from a distance, and she only felt that there was a woman in Tsing Yi with an extraordinary temperament standing there. The palace maids who made an appointment to peek at the second princess last night couldn't see people clearly, so they each pulled each other closer to take a look.

Sensing that someone was approaching, Chen Qinghuan turned her head slightly with a flat face, and her beautiful side face appeared in the other party's eyes in an instant, her amber eyes seemed to gather a light, her lips were red and her skin was white, and her eyes were like a sharp flying knife shooting out, so that the people who looked at each other were hit by a critical blow.

The body trembled unconsciously, and seeing that the second princess was a little more beautiful than the fairy, a palace maid scolded while retreating: "You are blind, don't you have long eyes to shoot Sister Juan'er's ass?

The palace maid who swore last night was also dumbfounded today, "Isn't that person in the Nine Days Hall yesterday the second princess......?"

"Your eyes are not as good as Mama Li's, the second princess is better looking than the eldest princess, you even compare Sister Juan'er with her. ”

Obviously, Chen Qinghuan didn't do anything, but those palace maids ran away with their own hearts, and a group of people hurriedly returned to their posts, and those who didn't dare to look at the jokes all came over and asked, "What kind of flood beast is the second princess, scaring you like this?"

A palace maid smiled bitterly, "I don't think it's a flood beast, it's a red face and a disaster." ”

Outside the main hall, Chen Qinghuan stood with her legs a little stiff, and as soon as the summons of the chief eunuch arrived, she couldn't wait to move her legs into the hall.

Unlike Yanguo, the animal that Ao Yu worships as the supreme is the unicorn, so you can see fiery red unicorn decorations everywhere in the palace, such as a huge unicorn head behind the golden chair where Dao Zongyu sits.

Everyone in the venue quietly looked at the door, waiting for the rumored second princess, and under the gaze of everyone, Chen Qinghuan walked into the hall with his head down.

She is slightly thin, with the heroic spirit of a three-point sword sect between her eyebrows and eyes, and in addition, she can't think of any other adjectives to describe her appearance except beauty.

When she raised her eyes, there was a slight inhalation sound around her, and Dao Zongyu suddenly understood that her eyes were not like the eyes of a leopard, but like a unicorn.

The ministers who were going to question her identity fiercely shut up, and the question in everyone's minds was no longer whether she was like water, but why she had such momentum.

"Qing Huan greeted the emperor. She didn't call her father or her name, and her tone of voice was as rustic as her expression.

Dao Zongyu was dissatisfied, and was about to correct her, when a familiar figure walked in from outside the hall, the person who came was gorgeously dressed and had an arrogant expression, it was Dao Ruonuan, the eldest daughter of Dao Zongyu.

The court hall in the Central Plains does not allow women to set foot in it, so even if she is as noble as the queen's mother, Chen Qinghuan has never seen her enter the main hall. And Ao Yu is located at the junction of the Central Plains and the Western Regions, and their rules are more inclined to the Western Regions, where people in the harem can also enter and exit the main hall.

Chen Qinghuan was a little surprised by the appearance of Dao Ruonuan, and she was able to come without being summoned, which shows that her status here is quite high.

As soon as he entered the hall, Dao Ruonuan walked straight in front of Chen Qinghuan, and didn't look at her the whole time, "Father, don't blame, my son heard that Dao Ruoshui was back, so I came to take a look." Her voice was full of mockery, and she did not hide her hostility in the slightest.

The ministers knew that there was a good show to watch, and they all silently silentd, and Dao Zongyu's already tense face became even darker, and he and the eldest princess didn't seem to deal with each other, so they only scolded in a low voice: "It's not a system." ”

"Erchen is no longer unorthodox, and he is more decorous than those who were driven back by Yanguo. Dao Ruonuan spoke unceremoniously, and she looked back confidently to see what kind of character her sister who was swept out of the house was.

Chen Qinghuan's expression was painless, making the other party's prickly words like beating on cotton, she also looked at Dao Ruonuan, and said calmly: "The emperor's golden mouth, these four words are really worthy of the eldest princess, but I can't afford this evaluation." ”

I probably didn't expect her to dare to choke herself so blatantly, Dao Ruonuan was stunned for a while, in her impression, Dao Ruoshui should be timid and afraid, cowering, but she is so calm now, and she looks so bright, the two stand opposite each other, she even has the demeanor of everyone more than herself, how is this possible!

"Are you Dao Ruoshui?" she couldn't help asking, and even forgot to choke back, her reaction was exactly the same as Dao Zongyu's reaction yesterday.

Two sentences of dialogue, the ministers in their hearts to the two of them immediately agreed, "The palace also said that the second princess robbed the eldest princess of the qualification to inherit the saintess, I think that Queen Sheng'an's vision is right." ”

"I see the same thing as you, I never thought that the second princess could grow up like this. ”

Facing Dao Ruonuan with a suspicious face, Chen Qinghuan asked her rhetorically: "Then what's not?"

How is this possible? Dao Ruonuan's heart kept echoing these words, she really didn't believe it.

"Your Majesty, Xuan I came here but I have an answer to my proposal yesterday?" Seeing Dao Ruonuan's rejection of herself, she knew why she came, but Chen Qinghuan didn't want to dwell on some useless things, what life experience, what real or false saintes, she didn't have time to pay attention, and now she just wanted Yan Xici to pay the price for his actions.

Dao Zongyu glared at Dao Ruonuan before slowly replying to her: "What are you so anxious to do, are you afraid that it will be too late to ruin your plan." He still didn't believe what she said.

"You're right, it's late to sabotage my plan, my plan is to save Ao Xu, if you think that Ao Xu's current strength is enough to resist Yanguo, then you can ignore me. ”

Dao Zongyu smiled, laughed at her ignorance, "Even if as you said, Yanguo starts a war, why do you think that you can turn the tide of the war, Ningxia regards you as a treasure, you really regard yourself as a saint who can go to heaven and earth?" He sent a secret agent yesterday in order to find out the truth about her return to China, and he would not believe a word she said until the news came back.

If she could, Chen Qinghuan wanted to take out a pack of □□ to blow up his palace at this moment, but unfortunately she used up all her □□ when she fled, and now she can only wait for Dao Zongyu to recognize herself before she can continue to make new ones, she knows that as long as the news of Yanguo's war arrives, he must believe in himself.

"The emperor is right, anyway, everything I should say and what I shouldn't say has been said, and the rest is up to the emperor. ”

"You're talking nonsense, aren't you crazy in Yanguo?" Dao Ruonuan sneered, she almost thought she had heard it wrong, she thought she was a ruthless person just now, but she didn't expect it to be a madman.

There was more discussion in the silent hall, and most of them were the same as Dao Ruonuan thought, and even the eyes that looked at Chen Qinghuan became disgusted.

Dao Ruonuan didn't forget her original purpose, she said to Dao Zongyu: "The second princess of the dignified Ao Yu is so unruly, it is better to give me, the eldest princess, to teach her the etiquette of Ao Yu, so that she will not be as embarrassed as she is today." ”

Seeing that she was bound to win, her eyebrows were about to fly to the sky, Chen Qinghuan was afraid that Dao Zongyu would agree in a daze, and was about to speak, but Dao Zongyu refused: "Your etiquette is the same, what qualifications do you have to laugh at her." ”

"What?" Dao Ruonuan was stunned again, "I am no longer unreasonable, and my father should not use her to squeeze me, she is not worthy!" How can the daughter of the maid be compared to the daughter of the queen.

It seems that Dao Zongyu and Dao Ruonuan really don't match, Chen Qinghuan can see that Dao Zongyu doesn't believe in himself, but he can even see that he doesn't like Dao Ruonuan, it's strange, the emperor's mind is incomprehensible.

The atmosphere exploded at the touch of a button, and it was a tense moment when a shout came from outside the hall, "Report-"

With the sound of the report, a general in armor rushed into the hall, "Your Majesty, there is something important to do!"
