The man glanced at Leng coldly, didn't speak again, got up and left the secret room, and followed Leng briskly.

In the autumn of 167 years of the Great Li Jin calendar, the northern army retreated to the Kunlun Mountain three hundred miles on the border of the Great Li, and the lord of the northern country issued a letter of state, wishing to make a good relationship with the Great Li of Qin and Jin, and the envoy would enter Kyoto in the near future. The prince of Luoxue also sent an envoy to Dali in this season, and a series of matters of Xue'er and others had to be put on hold for the time being because of these two things.

The newly appointed general has arrived at the border, and Xianchen and Lan Weishu have also embarked on the road back to Beijing. On the first day of the ninth month, an envoy from the northern kingdom arrived, and the emperor asked the envoy to stay in the east garden of the Imperial Palace in Kyoto. On the third day of the new year, the prince of Falling Snow also arrived in Kyoto and lived in the West Garden of the Imperial Palace. On the fourth day of the new year, Xianchen and Lan Weishu also arrived in Kyoto and went straight to the palace.

The Imperial Study.

"Father, my son is fortunate not to be dishonored, and in two months, I drove the northern thieves out of my Dali border!" Xianchen knelt on the ground, with a little more fortitude and composure between his eyebrows than when he left.

The emperor was surprised by the change in Xianchen, but it was only two months, and his daughter, who had always written his heart on his face, began to become inconspicuous.

"Chen'er has done a good job, but now my father has something to discuss with you." The emperor looked at his daughter sitting at the bottom of the head, and the expression in his eyes was uncertain.

"The sons dare not be, how can the father use the word consultation, if there is anything the father and the emperor can say directly."

"I believe that Chen'er should have received some rumors when he returned to Beijing, the northern country sent an envoy to my Dali this time, the purpose is to marry the royal family, and now ......" The emperor's words stopped here, but Xianchen understood that she was the only one of the royal family's age objects, and it was obvious that the other party was coming for her.

"Father, my son heard that there is also a prince from the Falling Snow Country, and he said that he is here as a guest."

The Emperor didn't know why Xianchen suddenly mentioned the prince of the Falling Snow Country, but he still followed Xianchen's words and said, "Hmm. ”

"Erchen wants to ask which prince is coming to the Snow Country this time?" Xianchen asked her doubts, the person who came was too mysterious, and all the secret guards she sent out were all blocked back by the other party silently, so far she still didn't know who the person from the Falling Snow Country was.

"I don't know, as soon as the prince came, he said that he was unwell, and after I arranged a place to live, he never came out, and the palace people sent were all sent back to the palace."

Xian Chen frowned when he heard this, it seemed that this Snow King didn't want people to know who he was.

Out of the imperial study, Xianchen went to the queen's Weiyang Palace, this is her habit, every time she comes back from a long trip, she will inevitably go to Weiyang Palace to see the queen. In the past, it was very quiet when I went, but today before Xianchen stepped into the courtyard, he heard the queen's coquettish laughter. Xianchen signaled to the palace people not to be polite, and then tiptoed into the main hall of Weiyang Palace, and the queen was hiding her face and chuckling, very happy.

"What a happy thing is the queen mother, she is smiling so happily." Xianchen cleared his voice and spoke.

There was also a person sitting opposite the queen, this person had his back to Xian Chen, and his back couldn't help but stiffen when he heard Xian Chen's voice at this moment. Xianchen had already noticed the person opposite the queen, but the moment he saw her face, Xianchen was still a little unnatural. That's right, that person is Gao Qianyue.

"It turns out that the Moon Emperor is here, I said, who is so capable of coaxing my mother so happy." The dust was slight, and the tone was a little sour.

"The concubine didn't know that Her Royal Highness the princess was coming, and she missed the distance, and I hope that Her Royal Highness will forgive her sins!" Gao Qianyue bowed.

Xian Chen looked at Gao Qianyue like this, and suddenly felt very uncomfortable, "Get up." ”

The atmosphere was a little awkward, and Gao Qianyue sat for a while and found a reason to say goodbye. After Xian Chen and the queen said some thoughtful words, they also left Weiyang Palace.

The autumn breeze gradually rises, bringing a hint of coolness. Xianchen looked at the moon in the sky, heh, it's the Yuan Festival of the year again. During the Midyear Festival that year, she and Gao Qianyue were still in the carriage, admiring the moon together at night, talking about the future. She remembered that she said at that time that if Xianchen was the emperor, then she would go to be a female general to guard the country and protect the people for Xianchen. The old jokes are still echoing in her ears, but now she is the only one left, the woman who said she wanted to protect the country is now her father's woman, and she gave birth to a younger brother. Xian Chen picked up the wine jar beside him, opened the seal, and took a sip directly at the mouth of the altar, the spicy taste entered his throat, and the bitterness in his heart was still there.

I went back to the house and changed into a shirt, a black riding outfit, with small feet on the cuffs and trouser legs, which is especially suitable for night action. After paying attention to the surrounding situation, Xianchen took advantage of the fact that the people in the village were not paying attention, and flew out of the villa. Hmph, don't you want people to know who you are, this hall is still partial to see, what should you do?

The fine dust flew on the eaves, and the figure was stretched long by the moonlight. Walking to the west garden of the palace, Xianchen was more cautious, for fear of alarming the guards.

There is only one courtyard in the West Garden, and Xianchen rarely comes to the palace, but he knows the layout of the West Garden, and when he was a teenager, he was attracted by the red maple planted in the West Garden, and he came quietly a few times. Walking along the path of memory, Xianchen came to the Luofeng Courtyard in the West Garden. Due to the arrival of autumn, the maple leaves of Xiyuan have been dyed with a brilliant color, and the red is dazzling, but Xianchen has been moving forward all the way, and he has no intention of looking at the scenery. Otherwise, she would have found that the person she was looking for was here at the moment admiring the red maples in the garden!

Quietly entered the door, there was no one in the room, there was a sound of footsteps, Xian Chen subconsciously hid behind the bed, someone knocked on the door twice, saw that no one answered, and walked away again. Xianchen looked at the layout of the room, it was very clean, there were no layers of veils in the women's boudoir, and it looked extremely empty. There was a faint scent of grass in the air, which was very comfortable, and Xianchen couldn't help but have a stronger interest in this snowfall prince.

He didn't stay in the room for long, and Xianchen quietly returned to Lanyue Villa in the direction he came.

Before you know it, Kyoto has ushered in another mid-year festival, and thanks to the arrival of the prince of the falling snow and the envoys of the northern kingdom, this year's Imperial Palace is even more lively than ever. The civil and military officials of Dali will bring their families to attend this event on this day, and for a time the palace is full of lights, the palace people are all running through the shuttle, and the concubines are also trying their best to dress themselves, trying to regain the favor in the Midyear Festival.

A bright full moon appeared on the clear blue sky, and everyone had already arrived, just waiting for the emperor to take the queen to take a seat, and then it could begin. But a shocking scene appeared, the hand in the crook of the emperor's arm was not the queen's, but the mother of the eldest prince's biological mother, the Snow Imperial Princess. The Snow Emperor Concubine was dressed in a bright yellow dress, which complemented the emperor's dragon robe, and all the officials at the banquet were shocked. This queen hasn't been paid yet, the emperor's move is to slap the queen's face, Rao is to favor this Snow Emperor again, on an occasion like today, he really shouldn't go in and out with the Snow Princess, and it is not in line with the etiquette.

Xue'er naturally didn't miss the expressions of the ministers, and deliberately raised her chin, revealing her slender and fair neck. The string of red agate on the neck makes Xue'er's neck even more beautiful, and the white fingers are painted with dancome of the same color, which is a stunning stunner. The queen is wearing a red palace dress today, seeing this kind of scene, everyone thought that the queen's face must be ugly, but when she looked over, she found that the queen's face was gentle, and there was a faint smile on the corner of her mouth. There is a beautiful woman in green clothes standing next to the queen, there is no extra decoration in her hair, only a turquoise jade hairpin, no powder, compared with a group of grease-smeared warblers Yanyan, this person looks like a blue demon in the lake, pure and mixed with a touch of charm, it is the Moon Emperor Concubine who has not been out of the Yongyue Palace for five years.

The officials were not angry when they saw the queen, thinking that this matter had been revealed. Who knew that the Ministry of Rites Shangshu suddenly became difficult, and knelt down during the banquet, "Your Majesty, this Snow Imperial Concubine is dressed in an irregular way today, and now she is standing in the position of the queen, and the queen is generous and does not care, but the minister can't look at the emperor and you are embarrassed in front of the world." I also asked the emperor to let the Snow Princess go back to change her clothes and return to the position where she should be sitting. This can be said to be direct and without the slightest emotion, Xian Chen has long known that this Ministry of Rites Shangshu is pedantic and stubborn, but he didn't expect to be so bold that he would directly point it out in front of people from other countries.

Xian Chen's eyebrows jumped, and when he raised his eyes, he saw a trace of annoyance flashing on his father's face, and he didn't notice it, and he was talking there vigorously. Seeing this, Xianchen immediately came out of the banquet and bowed to the emperor, "Father, the words of the Ministry of Rites are not unreasonable, the rules of the Dali Kingdom are like this, and now this Snow Emperor Concubine disregards the rules of the Dali Kingdom in vain, if the father and the emperor protect it, it will inevitably fall into the mouth." What's more......" Xianchen deliberately glanced in the direction of the seat of the prince of the falling snow and the envoy of the northern kingdom.

The emperor naturally understood the implication of Xian Chen's words, if he didn't deal with this Snow Imperial Concubine today, I am afraid that people from other countries would feel that they could not even control the harem well. Thinking of this, the emperor said loudly: "Come on, the Snow Emperor Concubine is not following the rules, and now the Snow Emperor Concubine is ordered to copy the law of the Dali State ten times, and she is not allowed to leave the Concubine Snow Pavilion for three months!" ”

The face of the Snow Imperial Princess, who was arrogant just now, had become ugly at this time, she thought that everyone was in front of the envoys of other countries, even if they felt that she was dressed inappropriately, in order to protect the emperor's face, they would not break it. But I didn't expect that this Ministry of Rites Shangshu and Sheng Xianchen would say it without scruples, and now the emperor actually punished her!

The red nails pinched into the palms, the pain came, Xue'er squeezed out a smile on her face, and said: "Today, the concubine is confused, and I didn't even notice that my dress didn't fit, because the concubine has always been holding the emperor like this on weekdays, and I haven't reacted." It's the concubine's fault, and the concubine will go back to the concubine Xue Pavilion to copy the national law. Then he blessed the emperor and went down with his maidservant.
