------Off topic------

He must have something to hide from her.

If Wei Guogong was just raising money, would he need to be so thoughtful?

However, she thought that what he was going to say earlier was obviously not this sentence, right?

"Yes, of course."

Xia Chuqi frowned, said "oh", looked at him and smiled.

"As you wish, the Duke of Wei is preparing gold, which is good news, right?"

Dongfang Qingxuan pursed his mouth silently, his white and slender fingers clenched slightly on the flower tree, trembling so that one branch of the flower tree trembled, but he didn't open his mouth for a long time to read the 'novel'. It seems that he wants to speak and stops, and it seems that it is difficult to speak. In Xia Chuqi's repeated questioning, he suddenly sighed faintly, pulled his lips and smiled.

Xia Chuqi tilted his head, "What news?" ”

"I got a message yesterday......"

Dongfang Qingxuan stood beside the flower tree, with a long figure and red robe corners, like a seductive demon.

She paused and looked back, "Anything else?" ”

Behind her, Dongfang Qingxuan suddenly called her.

"Achu—"

Taking a breath, she strode out of the pavilion, a cold wind poured into her cuffs, and the corners of the rolled sleeves flew lightly, making her petite body even thinner.

She can't afford to the hearts of others, and she doesn't want others to her hearts. Because she doesn't have the extra emotions to repay these love debts, and she can't afford to live up to them.

"That's whatever, I'm crossing the river anyway, I don't have extra time to worry about others, take care-"

"Perhaps, the last thing she needs is your sympathy."

Dongfang Qingxuan couldn't help but laugh dumbly when she saw that she was serious.

"Why should I be jealous of her?" Xia Chuqi smiled nonchalantly, "I got more than her." Or rather, what I got, she never got. She is not better than me except that she is slightly better looking than me. I have nothing but sympathy for her. ”

Dongfang Qingxuan raised his eyebrows slightly, "You don't hate her?" ”

"Thank you, you know me so well." Bowing deeply towards Dongfang Qingxuan, Xia Chuqi raised his head and smiled freely, "Okay, if you're okay, I'll really go back." Oh, by the way, there is a sentence, I want to say, you are so capable, why not think about your beautiful sister, send her out of the palace, find a lover to promise, so as not to be empty for a lifetime, pitiful. ”

"Hypocrisy? Isn't that what you're for? Seeing that you were drenched into a soup chicken, slapped by Concubine Gong, and burned your hands like this, how heartbroken did Zhao Mianze have? Even if he doesn't say it, it is difficult to guarantee in his heart that he will not have a grudge against His Majesty for conniving at Concubine Gong. ”

Dongfang Qingxuan was furious before, and she couldn't help but smile mockingly.

"The Grand Duke!" Xia Chuqi quickly retracted his hand, hooked his lips and smiled, "Small injury, it doesn't matter, I'll just go back and rub some medicine." If you don't have anything to do, I won't talk to you more. The wounds on my body have not healed, and I can't get wet, so I have to go back and deal with them quickly, are you sure you want to keep me here for interrogation? ”

"Your hand ......"

"Chu Qi!" Dongfang Qingxuan's gaze finally patrolled to her hand, interrupting her words, his gaze changed, and he took one of her snow-white and delicate hands, a pair of pale amber pupils, shrunk slightly, and in the faint skylight, exuding a cold annoyance.

"That's not necessarily, Zhao Mianze ......"

"Don't be afraid, from the moment you enter the door, there can only be my people around here."

"Of course you can, it's just that the East Palace is full of eyeliner......"

"Can't I invite you to meet you if you have nothing to do?"

Dongfang Qingxuan lowered his eyes and raised his eyebrows.

"Governor, you carefully let your sister come to me, do you have something to say?"

"No, not at all." Xia Chuqi grinned, raised his hands, put them on his shoulders, and then, little by little, pushed him away from his face, brushed the wet locks of hair, and took a deep breath.

Dongfang Qingxuan laughed angrily at her, "Are you blaming me for ruining your good deeds?" ”

“……”

Xia Chuqi laughed alone, his smile touched the fingerprints on his face, which looked extremely weird, "It's just a pity, originally I thought that Zhao Mianze was here, and I could always make some sparks with the emperor...... I didn't expect it to be destroyed by you. ”

Dongfang Qingxuan's lips sneered slightly, looked at her, and did not answer.

"Oh?" Xia Chuqi frowned and pulled the corners of his lips, "It turns out that the Metropolitan Governor is guilty of 'uncomfortable itching syndrome if you are not used'?" She laughed dryly, "I'm sorry, I don't have many friends, I can't afford to take advantage of it." Besides, in today's situation, whoever goes to the Rouyi Palace will not be able to get along with Concubine Gong, which will inevitably arouse the emperor's suspicion, can you tear your face with him? However, the Metropolitan Governor was so clever that he actually found Princess Ziyue, a natural evil star, who scolded the master of a county by himself......"

"Why would you rather let someone go to Zhao Mianze than come to me?"

With this kind of appearance, Dongfang Qingxuan's heart twitched slightly, like a heavy weight, indescribably depressed and heavy. But she was still smiling as always, like an obedient good boy, which made people angry.

"Unreasonable!"

"Aren't you angry?" Xia Chuqi smiled slightly, and his tone was light, "Anyway, everyone wants to beat me." Concubine Gong was angry, so I asked her to beat her up to dissipate her anger, so as not to hurt herself. You're angry now, and I'm doing the same, if you punch me twice, you can dissipate your anger, no matter what the reason, I don't care? ”

"Then you're going to let me beat me casually?"

A mouthful of old blood choked in his throat, Dongfang Qingxuan couldn't cry or laugh, and almost suffocated to death.

"I don't know." Xia Chuqi opened his eyes, looked at him, and shook his head.

"Miss Seven, do you know why I'm angry?"

With a cold snort, he hooked his lips, his arms were slightly loose, and he returned to a calm and breezy appearance.

She looked like she was going to die and let you trample on it, she was cheap and cheap, plus five obvious fingerprints on her face, funny and pitiful, and she saw that Dongfang Qingxuan's anger in her stomach was scattered without knowing it.

"Come on, whatever you want. As long as you don't kill me, it's done. ”

Xia Chuqi nodded honestly, raised his chin and looked at him left and right, closed his eyes slightly, and stretched his face over.

"Miss Seven, didn't you notice that this seat is very angry?"

He slowed down, his eyebrows and eyes raised, and he was depressed again.

"What you don't understand is the truth." She looked at it with a grin, not explaining.

Dongfang Qingxuan's original annoyance was replaced by confusion, and she intuitively felt that she had broken into a ghost.

"What are you talking about?"

"Governor, I know you have a personality and like to play with different styles. Let's say, if you don't contract a fish pond today, how did you become a domineering president? ”

Xia Chuqi's mouth twitched, it was rare to see him so angry, and he sighed helplessly.

Gently pressing her against the wall palace, Dongfang Qingxuan looked at her condescendingly, the anger in his eyes was not extinguished, and he was full of deep annoyance.

"But this seat is Jue, you are the crazy person!"

The familiar aroma is like Lan Fei Lan, like Gui Fei Gui. Familiar faces, charming and delicate, beautiful as smoke, in this gold-carved and jade palace of the crown princess, except for Dongfang Qingxuan, who is so enchanting, how can there be others?

"Dongfang Qingxuan, are you crazy?"

She stopped, and soon, behind a cluster of flowers, a big red figure came at her like a wind, and swept her into her arms, and before she could see clearly, the man had carried her around the corner.

Amur's dormitory is different, as if it has been scented with flowers and plants, and the faint aroma is very comforting, like a fairyland. Guided by the guards, she walked towards the attic where the piano sounded, her steps slowing. But before the person could get closer, the sound of the piano suddenly stopped.

Stepping over the high red-lacquered threshold, she strolled inside.

"Wait for me outside."

Stepping down her shoulders, she looked at Jiayi and Qinglan.

The man played the piano very well, but the tune was too sluggish. Just like a person walking in the mountains and forests in late autumn, and as if at the mouth of the north wind slope, the faint sound of the attack, fluttering, chilly, makes people feel dignified, but unconsciously sink into it, a burst of coldness.

Before entering the hall, the seventh day of the first summer heard the sound of the piano coming out of the hall.

Xia Chuqi knew that a person with such a temperament as her would not say a word casually, did not ask more, and did not tremble with her again, Yu Guang glanced at her very quickly, got on his shoulder, led his own people, and went back to the East Palace directly. The guard who carried her got the order, and without hesitation, he carried her in the direction of the Silver Palace.

The Silver Palace is the residence of the Eastern Amur.

"I haven't come out for a long time, and I want to take a walk. Miss Seven is wet and her body is not very good, so let's sit on her shoulders and go back first. Don't forget, by the way, return the chariot to the Silver Temple. ”

After a moment, she pointed to her shoulder not far away.

Looking at her wet face, Dongfang Amur was silent.

"Besides, the crown princess came to the Rouyi Palace today, I'm afraid it wasn't your intention, right? What about him? ”

Dongfang Amur's eyes were slightly gloomy, and before he could speak, Xia Chuqi added another sentence.

"Crown Princess, Zhao Nineteen is mine, he was born as my person, and his death is my death, and he has never had anything to do with the woman next to him. As for other things, I don't have to talk to others, and I don't like them to interfere. It's better for the crown princess to take care of her own affairs. ”

Listening to her faint voice, Xia Chuqi's heart stinged slightly.

In the end, there is affection, how deep is it?

With this kind of appearance, she couldn't communicate at all, Amur's eyebrows moved, a little impatient, but he didn't explain to her, and said to himself: "You don't have to be afraid of me." I have a relationship with him, and now that he is gone, I don't want to be your enemy. I know that you are in a difficult situation right now, and it is more important that you should be in alliance with me, not-for-tat. ”

Xia Chuqi was still smiling lightly, "Who?" ”

Seeing her so cunning, Dongfang Amur's eyebrows changed slightly, "How did he die?" ”

"No, I really don't know." Xia Chuqi shook his head and smiled.

"You don't have to pretend to be crazy and stupid with me, you know what I mean."

But Dongfang Amur didn't seem to hear it, and looked at her quietly and lightly.

If you change the woman on the other side, you will be furious when she hears this.

With a gentle "oh", Xia Chuqi seemed to be smiling, and his eyebrows were slightly raised, "The crown princess said that she laughed, what do I have in mind like you?" Oh, I remember, could it be that the crown princess also wants to marry the imperial grandson? She shook her head and said, "That's not good, I'm unmarried, you're already a wife, if you marry your son, wouldn't it be a mess?" ”

"Because I'm of the same mind as you."

After a slight pause, Amur suddenly smiled, but his face was as cold as ever.

Xia Chuqi was glad that he had calmed down and did not lose his style in front of her, and his tone was even more natural and calm, "What does the crown princess want me to ask you?" Q: Why are you here to help me? After that, she laughed to herself, "It's okay, for the sake of you helping me, then let me ask, why do you want to help me?" ”

"You don't have anything to ask me?"

After standing for a long time, it was Amr who spoke first.

Between the silences, I don't know where the incense wafted from, floating into the nose and lingering.

After retiring everyone, the two looked at each other, but neither of them was willing to say the first word.

"Miss Seven, take a step to speak."

Amur lowered his shoulders and walked slowly step by step, his actions were like flowing water, and his demeanor was really not inferior to Dongfang Qingxuan. The most important thing is that although she is gentle and polite, it is difficult for people to see her emotions.

"You don't have to thank me."

Glancing at each other, she smiled suddenly, with a bit of uninhibited color in her eyebrows, "Isn't it that the crown princess wants to hear me say thank you?" From Zhao Ziyue entering the palace to find Concubine Gong to cry, and seeing Amur appear, she knew that she deliberately brought Zhao Ziyue here.

Xia Chuqi slowly turned his head sideways, only to see a shoulder chariot stopped at the corner of the palace wall, a plain woman sitting on the shoulder chariot, with a graceful posture, her elbows resting elegantly on the shoulder chariot, two long sleeves embroidered with begonias hanging down lightly, lining her complexion like jade, very beautiful.

Before he entered the East Palace, he suddenly heard a pleasant voice.

"Miss Seven, stay."

Along the way, she and Jia Yi teased without a word, and unconsciously slowed down. Although her clothes were wet, she was not in a hurry. There is still a long road ahead, and there is no panic at every step.

Xia Chuqi's lips twitched fiercely, "Father-in-law A...... You're so worry-free. ”

A grimaced, "Anyway, you don't need it, it's okay." ”

Xia Chuqi was happy, "It's good, but your beard is not very clean, in case someone finds out that you are a fake eunuch, and then you are emasculated again, it will be miserable?" ”

Jiayi was expressionless, "Very good." ”

"Father-in-law A!" With a shout, she stepped forward, "Tell me about your feelings?" ”

Xia Chuqi knew that the reason why he changed into a eunuch uniform was because in this deep palace dominated by women, the most convenient person to come and go was the eunuch. But a manly "eunuch" like Jia Yi is really rare, and it is also very eye-catching, so she can't help but tease him.

"And the mood is poor, it seems that you don't have enough to eat?" With that, he turned and walked ahead.

Jiayi's face darkened, and he was indeed wearing a set of eunuch clothes.

"Yo, when did that happen? Why didn't I know that you were going to be a father-in-law? ”

But Xia Chuqi looked him up and down, but he couldn't stop laughing.

He didn't speak, and his face was extremely ugly.

The Rouyi Hall did not send her off, Xia Chuqi led Qinglan and Meizi, who had been crying and wiping her tears after seeing her hand, and as soon as he walked out of the door of the Rouyi Palace, he saw Jia Yi with an expressionless face at the door.

Red walls and blue tiles, blue brick corridors.

……

……

Anyway, the deep palace is lonely, and it is difficult to sleep for a long night, so it is best not to die.

It's a long time coming, so let's see.

Yue Yu looked at her calm back with annoyance, and bit her lip vigorously, her eyes full of hatred. She carefully designed today's coincidence, but she didn't expect that it would make her get out of the way. Not only now, but also sneered at himself. She was so angry that she rushed over and grabbed her back, and chopped her to pieces with a knife. But after all, she still didn't say a word, smiled coldly, and turned her head into the hall.

"Take good care of my mother-in-law for me, take good care of it, and be rewarded!" Xia Chuqi's evil banter, "Aunt Yue, goodbye." ”

"Please." Yue Yu stood by the door, her eyes sneering.

"Okay, it must be fun, and I'm looking forward to it?"

Yue Yu looked at her and smiled sarcastically, "I'll wait to see what you can do and see who has the last laugh." ”

"Don't worry, I'll show you how steel is made. Well? ”

"It's just a matter of paying lip service."

"Who said I'm going to fight you?" Xia Chuqi pulled his lips and smiled, and the pear vortex at the corner of his lips added a hint of brilliance, "Gong Dou did this matter, it was the palace concubines who did it." They are robbing men, they are power. And between me and you, I can't talk about that...... If you have to add a fight word, at most it belongs to 'man and animal fighting', hey! I have nothing to do to tame the beast, and it is okay to move my muscles and bones, I don't have to thank me, and I don't have to pay the silver, girl, I am free of charge. ”

Yue Yu looked at her with disdain in her eyes, "Don't think that you can do whatever you want in this palace with the support of the imperial grandson!" Chu Qi, you have to know that this world is still the emperor's world. In the emperor's heart, the tribute concubine is the most important...... And in Concubine Gong's heart, I am heavier than you. What do you use to fight me? ”

Xia Chuqi pouted slightly, smiled, slowly raised his hands, and spread them in front of Yueyu. I saw that on the tender fingertips, there was already a red stain scalded by boiling water, and some blisters were faintly scalded, but she didn't seem to know the pain, and rubbed it indifferently before shaking her hand, "Aunt Yue, for a famous doctor, this is a small injury, and it is not in the way." But you have to be careful, originally I, for the sake of your infatuation with the master, I was not prepared to embarrass you, but now ......" she leaned over and smiled in Yueyu's ear, "Don't forget, Chu Qi is a woman who must be repaid." ”

Yue Yu sneered and lowered her head, "How does your hand feel, does it taste good?" ”

"Aunt Yue, you're still so self-righteous." Xia Chuqi also smiled, "It's not over, I'm not finished with you." And you, you always underestimate me too much, and you underestimate the heart of Concubine Gong. You prepared those ten cups of hot tea, right? What do you think, want me to be disfigured? It's a pity that she can't bear to splash it down. And I, if I don't get slapped alive, I won't be splashed with a few glasses of water by her...... How can you dispel the anger in her heart? ”

When she left the palace gate, Yue Yu walked to her side and whispered in a low voice, "Chu Qi, you are very smart, not only did you coax Concubine Gong Niangniang to go in just a few words, but you can also easily see through my thoughts...... But you seem to be thinking too simply, thinking that this is the end of it? ”

After taking the first step, it will be much easier for her to go if she encounters something similar in the future.

At the same time, it also let Concubine Gong see that Yueyu is a scheming woman.

deliberately asked her to make tea and give her a chance to poison her, but he just wanted to knock the mountain and shock the tiger.

She knew that Yue Yu dared to drug her in front of Concubine Gong, so she was not afraid that Concubine Gong would be held responsible, after all, Yue Yu at this time had thousands of reasons to want her to die, and she could get Concubine Gong's forgiveness.

Xia Chuqi smiled slightly, didn't say anything, turned around and left.

"You don't have to pick it up, Yueyu, send her out for the palace, I don't want to see her, so I don't feel uncomfortable."

Concubine Gong rubbed her forehead, she was troubled by them, only to feel the stomach in her chest rolling, and finally sighed weakly.

"Slave maid...... Empress...... The slave just hates her, and she just complains about her grandfather......"

Yueyu's face turned pale, and she looked at Concubine Gong who was puzzled, knowing that this matter was getting darker and darker, so she simply admitted it directly.

Obviously, Zhao Ziyue was on Chu Qi's side.

"Chu Qi, is there a problem with this tea? She wants to poison you? ”

Concubine Gong's face changed slightly, but Zhao Ziyue became angry.

No matter how vaguely this sentence is said, it can also make people hear some clues.

Xia Chuqi's smile was even brighter, "Not clean? Oh, didn't Aunt Yue forget, but you made this tea yourself? Could it be that you are still worried about me being poisoned? ”

Seeing that Concubine Gong was slightly displeased, Yueyu panicked, "The slave maid is just afraid that the tea is not clean......"

Xia Chuqi smiled slightly, looked at Zhao Ziyue, and then looked at Concubine Gong, "Aunt Yue really doesn't know how to be polite, the princess just took a sip of tea, are you so excited?" ”

"I ...... If the slave is careless, please punish the princess. Yue Yu lowered her head slightly, and quickly picked up the tea cup fragments on the ground.

"What are you doing?" Leng Buding was whisked tea, Zhao Ziyue was annoyed, and kept pulling her skirt.

However, she had sprinkled a few golden beans before, and her mouth was also a little thirsty, so without saying a word, she reached out and took the teacup. Unexpectedly, before it was poured into her mouth, Yue Yu suddenly raised her hand, and the cup of tea rolled on the ground, shattered into pieces, and shocked the rest of the people in the hall on the spot.

"Ah", Zhao Ziyue was a little inexplicable about her "sincerity".

"The folk girl borrowed flowers to offer Buddha, thanking Princess Ziyue for her life-saving grace......"

Standing up, she seemed to think of something, suddenly smiled, and picked up the tea that Yueyu had made for her earlier.

Looking at her dark eyes, thinking of what she said when she excused herself earlier, Xia Chuqi moved his mouth, and there seemed to be a thousand words rolling in his chest, but he could only nod.

"Miss Seven, your clothes are wet, hurry back, I'll come back another day."

After receiving Concubine Gong's "forgiveness", Zhao Ziyue's face was relieved, she quickly turned her head and squeezed her eyes at Xia Chuqi.

Amur smiled slightly, glanced at Xia Chuqi not lightly, and said "farewell", then turned around and left, as if he had never come.

In this palace, she is an elder and the favorite concubine of Emperor Hongtai, and her words have their own weight.

"The palace is lacking, so let's all disperse."

"That is, the crown princess has been widowed for so long, and it is not a good thing to stay in the East Palace, occasionally come out and walk around, it should be, don't bother." After saying that, she pursed her lips and glared at Xia Chuqi unpleasantly, as if she was regarded as a "remarriage" like Amur, snorted coldly, and waved her hand.

Since Amur married Prince Yide, Concubine Gong has not treated her well. In addition, her head was about to be shaken unconscious by Zhao Ziyue, even if Amr was easy-going, she still had nothing to do, and her tone was not friendly.

"Mother, bother. I was very bored today, so I went to Yunyue Pavilion to make an appointment with Ziyue, and came to the Rouyi Hall to see the maid together. I never thought of seeing such a thing......" she already had a smile on her face, "Niangniang forbears." ”

As if he didn't see her face, Dongfang Amur smiled and his tone was quite gentle, but he didn't look at anyone more, and his expression was only given to Concubine Gong.

"The crown princess has something to do with this palace?"

Concubine Gong also reacted, probably the beauty was always unconvinced when she saw the beauty, she brushed her hair, and quickly pushed away Zhao Ziyue, who was tired of lying on her, and her face sank.

A woman who has admired her name for a long time, but has not seen her person.

What's more, she is the Oriental Amur.

If a man sees her, then what's the deal? Don't you just go hungry and the wolf pounces on it?

Women look at women so amazingly.

At the beginning of summer, the corners of the seven lips pursed slightly.

In the middle of a group of palace ladies with clouds and emeralds and graceful postures, she wore a plain Luo skirt embroidered with fine begonias, lined with a skin color like jade, the waist was full and unbearable, the eyebrows were like new dais, the posture was like a flying swallow dancing, the black hairpins, except for a white hosta, there was no extra embellishment, charming and slightly delicate, delicate and more noble, under a faint halo, the body seemed to be covered with a layer of cold light, which made people dare not climb high. To describe it as "national color and natural fragrance" seems to be too vulgar. To describe it as "Chu Chu moving", it seems to be too shallow. The graceful charm, the demeanor, the apricot eyes and eyebrows, a fairy spirit that is not vulgar, just one glance, can snatch people's souls, and also make a group of beautiful women around her all become her foils.

At the entrance of the temple stood a smiling young woman.

Almost instantly, her gaze turned to the door with Concubine Gong.

Yue Yu's words woke up Concubine Gong, who was dizzy with anger, and also shocked the seventh day of the summer month who was watching the excitement.

"The crown princess has not been out of the East Palace for a long time since the death of Prince Yide, I don't know if she is coming to the Rouyi Palace today, but what is the urgency?"

In the midst of the quarrel between the two of them, Yueyu's face inadvertently turned to the door, her complexion changed slightly, and she was blessed.

"Little brute, it's really against you......"

Concubine Gong's eyes rolled, her anger was extremely shocking, and her face was extremely ugly.

"Mother...... You murderer ......" Zhao Ziyue sobbed.

"You, what kind of nonsense are you talking about?" Concubine Gong stroked her aching forehead and pushed her hard, "Go, go, I really fed you for nothing." White-eyed wolf! Follow outsiders to anger your mother, I'm mad to death......"

"Mother, if you like someone, you just want him to be good. You love Brother Nineteen, Brother Nineteen loves Chu Qi, and if you hurt her, you poke my Brother Nineteen's heart. Do you want to resurrect him from the dead? ”

Xia Chuqi wiped the water dripping from time to time on his hair, opened his mouth slightly, and looked stunned, only to feel that the quarrel between the mother and daughter was really eye-opening. And Zhao Ziyue saw that Concubine Gong was still murdering her, suddenly hugged Concubine Gong's legs, simply knelt down, and held back tears for a long time.

"You ask her, you ask her, does your brother like me?"

Concubine Gong was scolded by her for splitting her head and covering her face, her head exploded, and she pointed at Chu Qi and scolded angrily.

"Who says he doesn't like me?"

Slowly, she squatted at Concubine Gong's feet, hugged her knees, and looked up at her, "Mother, do you know how much my nineteenth brother loves Chu Qi?" You treat her like this, my nineteenth brother is watching from heaven, but he can't stop you, how uncomfortable and sad must he be? He doesn't like you in the first place, and if you treat his beloved woman like this, he will definitely hate you even more......"

"The Mother ......"

But after Zhao Ziyue finished scolding, she flattened her mouth, but her eyes were red.

"I ......" Concubine Gong pointed at her nose angrily, speechless.

Zhao Ziyue snorted, looking at Xia Chuqi's soaked clothes, she was so angry that she smoked, and she didn't have any good words on her lips, "Why did I speak?" You are mad, inhumane, inhumane, despicable and shameless in maiming the sick. ”

"You kid, how did you talk to your mother?"

In a frenzy? Concubine Gong raised her eyebrows, looking at this uncompetitive daughter, her face turned white with anger.

"Mother, how can you do such a crazy thing?"

I haven't seen her for two years, she has grown a lot taller as a mother, her face has become thinner, and her dress seems to be a lot more mature, but the youthful energy on her face has not subsided, and she is still so impulsive and domineering when she speaks and acts.

In the past few days since she returned to Beijing, she saw Zhao Ziyue for the first time.

Xia Chuqi turned his head to look over and squinted slightly.

"Mother, what are you doing here?"

Before she could finish speaking, a scream came from the door of the temple.

"Presumptuous! It seems that I have to teach you a lesson, so that you know how powerful this palace is. ”

Concubine Gong was stunned for a moment, her beautiful face sank, and she was annoyed again, and with a "snap", she slapped at the case.

"Mother, what if I don't choose either?"

Silently calculating the hour, Xia Chuqi shook the wet clothes on his body, with a three-point smile on his face, plus her five fingerprints, it looked extremely funny, but the shallow appearance of the pear vortex had a kind of comfort and calmness that made people unable to turn their eyes.

"Chu Qi, this palace doesn't like to go around the bend. You are given two choices, first, to leave the palace, and second, to lead to death. You pick one. ”

The two looked at each other, and there was coolness in their eyes. And Concubine Gong sobbed and thought for a while, as if she had an idea again, and then looked at the seventh hour of the first summer, her eyes added a little sadness.

What kind of "last wish" is clearly Chu Qi's casual remarks, Concubine Gong didn't even have a trace of suspicion, just based on an old thing, she believed her words as true, it was really ridiculous.

Yueyu was also silent.

It's you, you're obviously confused? How could it be that Zhao Nineteen was confused?

Xia Chuqi was silent.

Concubine Gong snorted coldly, slapped her palm heavily, and scolded, "Old Nineteen, this bastard thing, actually made such a ridiculous last wish." Not! His mind is confused, how can Hongu be as confused as him? ”

"I won't go, I can't go if I can't fulfill Zhao Shijiu's last wish."

Xia Chuqi knew that she would have to pass this level sooner or later, so he thought about it a little and his face was slightly condensed.

Concubine Gong was slightly shocked, her temper came up again, and her eyes were cold and cold, "After all, you are the nineteenth person in my family, so you are not allowed to have an affair with the man next to you." Say, are you going or not leaving? ”

Xia Chuqi teased, "Niangniang, I'm not married yet, how can I remarry?" ”

She sat up straight, wiped her eyes gently, sobbed sadly, and looked at Xia Chuqi: "My son has both an explanation, and can tell you these heart-wrenching words, I think I love ......you very much" Her face darkened slightly, she paused, and said: "However, this palace does not need your protection, and you are not allowed to stay in the East Palace to smear my son's face." As long as you leave the palace, I will no longer embarrass you. Not only that, but it also allows you to come to Japan without worrying about food and clothing, that is, you cannot remarry. ”

"Don't make any noise."

Hearing that the two of her kept arguing on the side, Concubine Gong had a splitting headache.

"Whether I say it or not, the mother has her own decision. Do you think that the mother's vision is as short-sighted as yours? ”

"You...... Don't talk about it here. Yueyu gritted her teeth.

"You're farting!" Xia Chuqi snorted and glared at Yueyu, "Can Your Majesty be an emperor for a lifetime?" There is no one here, let me say a big disrespectful word, Niangniang is still young, Your Majesty he ...... will always walk in front of the mother, the mother has no son by her side. When Zhao Mianze became the emperor, who would take care of a woman who was out of breath in the deep palace? Aunt Yue, can you? ”

She burst into tears, almost crying. But Concubine Gong's expression was hesitant.

"!" Seeing that the situation was not right, Yue Yu was shocked, and suddenly waved away Xia Chuqi's hand, held Concubine Gong's shoulder, bowed slightly and said, "Niangniang, don't listen to this woman's nonsense anymore!" None of her words were true. Think about it, Your Majesty, he values you, where is her turn to guard? She is clearly greedy for glory, unwilling to observe the festival for the master, and deliberately distorts the facts, using the last words of the master to deceive you! Mother, you can't be soft-hearted. Think about it again, now that she is not married to the emperor's grandson, how much gossip has been attracted inside and outside the court? The bones of the master are not cold, such a big green hat is so alive on his coffin, how can he feel at ease? ! ”

"Yes, you're a poor man too......"

Concubine Gong turned her head and looked at her with red eyes.

Sighing secretly, she got up and walked over, put her palm on Concubine Gong's shoulder, and asked with a pale face, "Niangniang, you said that I am a woman, how can I fulfill my promise and live on top of the world?" What else can I do besides this path? ”

Zhao Shijiu, the mother-in-law, is really a coaxing woman, it is too easy to believe in people, and I don't know how she has survived in the past few decades of deep palace career. Maybe it's really the answer to that sentence - the extreme of things must be reversed. A person is extremely simple, but there are no flaws. However, she also made her understand why Emperor Hong Tai was spoiled like this. It is too natural for a man who is accustomed to seeing people's hearts to be sinister and competing for power, and falls in love with a woman who is so simple that she doesn't go out of her mind. This is the law of yin and yang in the world, the law of complementarity.

Xia Chuqi looked at her lightly, like a clay statue, silent and speechless.

Concubine Gong screamed sadly, hid her face on both sides, and half-lay on the desk, crying silently.

"My bottle...... It turns out that you will miss your mother until you die......"

He said that it is more important for people to live than anything else. He wants me to live well, not only to live, but also to live well, to live as a human being...... Because only when I have lived as a human being, can I have the ability to fulfill my filial piety for him and protect his mother for him. ”

In those dark days and three nights, he and her were crazy in love with men and women, and said many heart-wrenching words, but there was no explanation. Because, there was no way to live at that time, what was the point of giving it to her? When there was a way out, he didn't have time to explain. However, looking at the tears that Concubine Gong has always wanted to suppress but couldn't suppress, she naturally wouldn't be stupid enough to tell the truth.

What can you explain? Xia Chuqi smiled.

"What else did he say? Is there an explanation on the side? ”

Drinking and crying lowly, Concubine Gong seemed to have found a soulmate to speak, and all the painful knots poured out, crying, and the hatred for the seven rows of mountains and seas at the beginning of summer seemed to have melted a lot. After snorting a few times, she was probably afraid of losing her manners, so she turned over slightly, pulled out her handkerchief, wiped away her tears, and when she turned her head again, there was a pair of red eyes, almost with an urgent request.

"If you can get this sentence today, even if this palace is dead, you can finally feel at ease...... I just pity my old nineteen, who didn't leave a man or a woman, and didn't have time to look at his mother, so he went......"

It's been almost twenty years, and he left the palace when he was nineteen or sixteen years old and was taken by Empress Zhang to raise her, and he has always treated her lukewarmly. Not only is it difficult to see him, but even if he meets her, he doesn't give a good face. She always thought that her son hated her, resented her, and misunderstood her. I never thought that in his psyche, he would be such a good mother.

Concubine Gong slammed her chest, and the tears that had been rolling in her eyes rolled out coldly, sliding across her face in big drops.

The corners of Xia Chuqi's lips hooked slightly, "Niangniang, he has always loved you, and he has never blamed you." ”

"He doesn't blame me? Is that really what he looks at me? ”

Concubine Gong breathed a sigh of relief, the corners of her lips trembled slightly, and her emotions were slightly excited.

"Seriously." Xia Chuqi smiled lightly, "If not, how can I know about these past events?" ”

"Old nineteen he...... Do you really say that? ”

Her voice is extremely clear, the words are full of affection, and when she thinks of Zhao Shijiu, her eyes are unconsciously moist, and the words full of affection are even more heartfelt, and anyone can see her affection for Zhao Zhu. The words were said through Zhao Shijiu's "last words", which not only complimented Concubine Gong, but also explained her intimate relationship with Zhao Shijiu, which caused Concubine Gong's motherhood to overflow, and her eyes suddenly turned red.

"Niangniang, Zhao Shijiu said on his deathbed that his mother has the most beautiful appearance in the world, the most benevolent virtue in the world, and the most gentle smile in the world. On top of that, his mother made the most delicious rose cake, which no one else in the world could match. He also said that she looks high-flying and domineering, and she is the most intolerable, but she never hurts people, and her heart is simple and kind. Once, a palace maid fell ill with a cold and was seriously ill and bedridden, and she was about to die...... But the palace maid is a slave and maid, and she cannot ask the imperial doctor for medicine. Niangniang, you were so angry that you scolded her, but you deliberately let yourself catch a cold, and invited the imperial doctor to come to see you, but you gave the medicine to the palace maid to take it, saving her life...... Such a tribute concubine Niangniang is obviously a living bodhisattva, how can she kill people with a butcher's knife in her hand? ”

After saying a word, she picked up the teacup in her hand and reached the end of her nose, but there was no entrance, thought about it, and slowly put it down.

"Okay."

Xia Chuqi smiled slightly, went uninvited, and sat directly on the side of the desk where Yueyu put tea.

Concubine Gong glanced at Xia Chuqi, "There is no need to delay time, this palace wants to kill you, and it is useless for Zhao Mianze to come." ”

Besides, is Yueyu a person who can support it casually? But in an instant, she Shi Shiran came in, holding a cup of hot tea on the desk, she didn't talk to Xia Chuqi, just came over to help Concubine Gong sit down.

"Mother, I'm just thirsty, I really didn't think about breaking her up."

Concubine Gong's expression was arrogant, and she was extremely clear, which amused Xia Chuqi.

"Can you say that now? You're not trying to break her up? ”

Yueyu's throat was slightly pouted, and she couldn't refuse, so she only hung her head and slowly retreated.

She didn't look at Yueyu, waved her hand casually, and ordered, "Go, pour her a cup of tea." ”

Concubine Gong was anxious to know her son's dying words, where could she take care of so much?

"Niangniang, I haven't recovered from my illness, my throat is dry and hoarse, can I trouble Aunt Yue...... A cup of tea? ”

But Yueyu stayed, looking at Concubine Gong's appearance, she had no intention of driving her away. Xia Chuqi knew that Yueyu and Concubine Gong had known each other for many years, and she was the "best daughter-in-law" she had always been optimistic about, and she had a very high status here, so she just pursed her lips and smiled, and opened her mouth disapprovingly.

A group of people lowered their heads and rushed out.

"Yes, sissy."

"Stand down, and no one else will come in without my orders."

Concubine Gong raised her eyebrows slightly, and turned to look at the people in the hall.

"How can others listen to the private words of the Nineteenth Master?"

Xia Chuqi smiled unhurriedly, and looked at the grandmothers and eunuchs with wooden sticks in their hands.

If a man desires, he must be controlled.

"What did he say?"

Sure enough, as soon as these words came out, they were extremely lethal, and I saw Concubine Gong's body suddenly froze.

In this world, only she, Xia Chu Qiyi, knew what Zhao Nineteen had said. Concubine Gong loves Zhao Shijiu, and she will definitely have a strong listening ** and want to know about her son.

After all, Zhao Shijiu was only staying with her before he died.

The life-saving method of "One Thousand and One Nights" is replaced by the version of Dayan's harem, which may also save her life.

This method was something she had come up with before.

"Mother, wait a minute!" Xia Chuqi intercepted her words, smiled lightly, and said in a calm tone, "It's very simple to kill me." However, doesn't Niangniang want to know what Zhao Shijiu said before he died? ”

Concubine Gong's face changed, and she closed her eyes slightly, "That's because you are willing to fall, and don't blame the palace for being ruthless." Come, drag down Hongu—"

At the beginning of summer, he smiled and said, "Don't ......"

"You really won't leave the palace?"

Concubine Gong's eyes flashed slightly, she thought for a moment, and looked at Chu Qi.

Yue Yu sneered, "You clearly didn't want to leave, why use me as an excuse?" She looked at Concubine Gong and hinted in her words, "Niangniang, without further delay, I am afraid that there will be more trouble......"

"Aunt Yue, as the old saying goes, live the belly of a gentleman with the heart of a villain, and you are talking about you. Originally, I really didn't have that heart, my mother wanted to arrange for me to leave the palace, and I was grateful? But you are so eager to kill me, but I don't want to leave. ”

At a glance, Xia Chuqi looked at Yueyu's familiar and unfamiliar face, and a big smile bloomed at the corner of his lips.

"!" Yue Yuyuan was on the side, and when she saw this situation, she was shocked, interrupted her, and rushed up, "This little goblin has always been clever and eloquent, you must not be deceived by her." Don't you see? She deliberately went around in circles with you, obviously delaying time, waiting for the imperial grandson to come to save her. Niangniang, you think, if she has no intention of entering the East Palace, with her cunning, she has a great chance to leave, how can she delay until now? ”

"Niangniang...... Xia Chuqi squinted slightly, and his voice was hoarse.

She said very cautiously, ruthlessly, with a pair of eyes, shining brightly, looking cold and detached, every word was disgusting, but nowhere did she not carry the meaning of her protection for her son. Looking at such a concubine, Xia Chuqi couldn't tell the taste in his heart, but he felt that the hot slap on his face was not so painful. This woman, no matter how bad she is, is also the mother of nineteen. At least, she is also the only person in this world who is the same as her, and does not have any selfish thoughts about Zhao Shijiu.

"But you have to swear that you will never marry another person in this life, and keep a feast for my son. Otherwise, even at the ends of the earth, this palace will kill you. ”

Xia Chuqi was slightly stunned. She raised her eyebrows again and gritted her teeth viciously.

"If you are forced to enter the East Palace, the palace can arrange for you to leave the palace by yourself."

"For my son's sake, this palace will give you a chance." Speaking of this, she sighed faintly, the beauty frowned, like a blooming snow lotus on an iceberg, beautiful and noble, graceful, but there was a boundless fall between the eyebrows.

She was wet, with five red fingerprints on her face, looking pitiful and embarrassed. Coupled with the softening of her attitude, and the mention of accumulating virtue for the old nineteen, Concubine Gong didn't think she was so hateful. Besides, she was willing to give in, and Concubine Gong's face that was rejected by ** naked was also picked up, and her face naturally looked a little better. Slowly, she walked over, her skirt hanging down gently, and her anger dissipated a lot.

Concubine Gong was slightly stunned, looked at her, and was silent for a moment.

"That is, murder creates the greatest obstacle. Killing one person and saving ten will not make up for it. Doesn't Niangniang want to accumulate more virtue for Zhao Shijiu, so that he can be reincarnated into a good family? ”

"For me?" Concubine Gong was slightly stunned.

"People are afraid of death, and I'm no exception. Besides, I'm not doing it for your good, am I? ”

Xia Chuqi held his breath, the corners of his lips curved, and his voice softened a lot.

"So you're afraid of death too? Where did you go to the ability to confront the main palace just now? ”

"Humph!" Concubine Gong flicked her sleeves heavily, not knowing that she was deliberately delaying time, and her soft willow eyebrows were slightly raised.

"Niangniang, killing people is a great evil in the world, don't you think about it anymore?"

Seeing a group of grandmothers and eunuchs rushing in with wooden sticks in their hands, they were furious, as if they had been prepared, Xia Chuqi took a step back, glanced at Yueyu's excited face, and looked at Concubine Gong and smiled.

Concubine Gong was so impatient and so simple and rude, which Xia Chuqi had not expected before. At present, it is less than an hour before she has made an appointment with the fool, if she is beaten like this, when the fool goes to Zeqiu Courtyard to find Zhao Mianze and rushes over, I am afraid that she can only pick up the body for her.
