The ministers on the seat stood up and gathered around the painting, and even Chu Cheng's shoulder was patted hard, and he looked back, it turned out to be a close friend of Wu Chenghou for many years.

"You old stubborn, what are you doing filming me?"

Lian Chucheng glared at him and sneered.

Marquis Wu Cheng withdrew his hand, he and Lian Chucheng led the troops to fight together, the two have been friends for many years, but they are not as good at martial arts as Lian Chucheng, he is from a poor background, a real rough man, after the founding of Dachang was named 'General Protector', there is only one daughter under his knees, so he is very fond of the two brothers of Lian Qingliu.

"Even brother, I have always regarded Cheng'er as a future son-in-law, but you haven't agreed for a long time, it's good now, you have stolen the limelight from so many palace nobles, look at the eyes of those young ladies of the family, but Cheng'er will soon be stared out of a hole."

"It's not that I don't want to, it's just that Cheng'er is young in the end, and she is reckless and reckless, and your family Chaoying should be worthy of a better person."

Even Chu Cheng looked around, he was inevitably a little worried, he only hoped that Cheng'er could win the emperor's appreciation in one fell swoop today, but he never expected that the more he was out of the limelight, the more attention he would see.

"What's that, how can my son-in-law who Wu Chenghou fancy be bad, besides, Chaoying's girl follows a father like me, and she has not looked like an official lady since she was a child, she will use guns and swords all day long, and she will make trouble for me outside, and I can rest assured that Cheng'er, the little overlord, will govern her."

"How can a father say this about his daughter, Chaoying has no mother since she was a child, and it's not you who spoiled her, by the way, why didn't you see her enter the palace today?"

Even Chu Cheng sneered, thinking of the girl who had never left her hand since she was a child, she shook her head and was very helpless.

After hearing this, Marquis Wu Cheng snorted unhappily: "She said that the palace is full of pretentious people, and she went out of the house to play a month ago. ”

"Although this is straight, it can't be more true, it's just that Chaoying's temperament is too straightforward, so it's okay not to enter the palace."

Lian Chucheng nodded, with a little agreement in his words.

"Jiaolong peerless, the phoenix prime minister, five miles and one wandering, ten things are competing, dragon and phoenix paint glue, coupled with scorching fluorescence, this painting is like flying out of the top, it is really a good picture of the dragon and phoenix, wonderful, wonderful!"

I don't know who let out a sigh and drew the eyes of the two of them again, and the people around them praised one after another.

Even Qingcheng stood in front of the painting in a brocade robe, reflecting the glow and elegance, like this, but it made men jealous and women admired.

Feng Guibian took a sip of wine, his star eyes sneered, if it weren't for this painting, he was just at the gate of the palace, I was afraid that I would really be deceived by him.

"Good, good, it is worthy of being the sons cultivated by the prince, all of them are heroes among people, and even the third son has such a demeanor at a young age, he should be rewarded!"

The emperor looked at the painting and clapped his hands and applauded, and the dragon face was happy.

Lian Qingcheng was stunned for a moment, then knelt on the ground in response, and reached out to accept the reward brought by Gao Gonggong.

"Grass people, thank you, Lord Longen."

"You are the third son of the prince, and you should be commensurate with me as a monarch and a minister, although you have no official position, you should not underestimate your identity."

As soon as the king's words came out, the four were shocked, the emperor's words were intended to allow Yilian Qingcheng's official position, even if he was not at this time, he would be promoted in the future.

"Yes, minister, Lian Qingcheng, knock on Longen."

She knelt down and prostrate, hiding the excitement in her heart.

After all, I still did it, and finally did not violate the wish of my father and Feng to return to evil.

The birthday banquet continued, the painting was put away and put into the Treasure Pavilion, even Qingcheng ignored the deep hostility in Liu Hanyu's eyes, she was brilliant today, and she could be regarded as helping, if she hadn't been aggressively holding on to herself, how could she have the opportunity to show the painting in public.

A maid hurriedly ran in and said a few words in Feng Guixie's ear, his expression changed, and he immediately put down the cup and walked out.

Lian Qingcheng glanced at it lightly, retracted his gaze and continued to drink.

"Cheng'er, today you have the dragon's favor, and in the future, I am afraid that the gate of the palace will be trampled by the matchmaker."

Lian Qingliu sandwiched a dish for her and looked at her softly.

Qing Cheng's eyes flashed in confusion, "Why did the eldest brother say this?" ”

"Hehe, you really don't understand?"

Lian Qingliu asked with a smile, seeing that she was still at a loss, Wu Zi sighed lightly: "Dad has not yet formed a party in the court, the prince and the king want to win him over, but my father has a tough attitude and has not replied for a long time, the shape of the court and the opposition is complex and changeable, you are still younger, if any minister insists on wooing, marriage is the most stable way, and if you are wooed, you are won over Dad." ”

"Isn't there still a big brother you, I'm just a concubine, how can I get the eldest brother's noble status, even if it is a marriage, it should be the eldest brother who is the son-in-law of the dragon."

She smiled unnaturally, and a trace of panic flashed in her heart, marriage

Lian Qingliu was speechless when he heard this, and drank in a muffled voice with his head down.

She felt a little depressed by this dull atmosphere, and when she saw that the hall was still singing and dancing, she walked out bored to breathe.

The noisy voice was getting farther and farther away from her, and she had been thinking about things just now, and when she came back to her senses and looked around her, she felt a sense of powerlessness.

Today's queen mother's birthday, almost all the palace people are busy in Fengqi Palace, this remote road is rarely visited, just ask for directions, I'm afraid I can't find anyone.

She flew up to a banyan tree beside her, and when she saw the flickering candlelight, she realized that she had walked far outside the palace, and sighed depressedly.

It was her.

Qingcheng pursed her lips slightly, jumped down, and frightened the person who was hurrying.

"Hello sister."

She smiled and patted the frightened man in front of her.

"You, who are you?"

The red-clothed palace maid looked at her with some fear and asked in a trembling voice.

Qingcheng couldn't help but sigh, it really frightened people, and he was evil.

"I'm not a bad person, so I'll ask my sister for directions, really."

She had a pair of watery eyes and looked sincere.

Seeing this, the palace maid exhaled deeply before she came to her senses, looked at Lian Qingcheng and smiled: "I know, you are here to congratulate the queen on her birthday, right?" This palace is very big, and if you are not careful, you will get lost, and the prince will walk along this path, and at the end you can see Fengqi Palace. ”

"That's right."

She nodded in an epiphany, a hint of cunning in her eyes.

This little palace maid was in a hurry, and she came out with Feng Guixie again, and now she is the only one here but she doesn't see the shadow of Feng Guixie, could it be that he has done something unseemly

"Hongyi, what are you doing standing here, why don't you go to the imperial doctor quickly."

Just as she was thinking about it, a familiar voice sounded in her ears, and Lian Qingcheng turned around and saw that Feng Guiyi was already standing behind her at some point.

"Why are you here?"

Seeing the face of the person in front of him clearly, Feng Guixie was slightly surprised.

"It's very stuffy in the palace, I came out to breathe, I didn't expect to get lost, I happened to meet this sister and asked by the way, what are the four princes doing here? I just heard you say what kind of doctor you are looking for, who is sick? ”

She held her chin in her hand and stared straight at him.

"It's nothing, the terrain in the palace is complicated, and the red clothes still have something to do, I'll send you back."

"What are you doing, the fourth prince, the sister in red has already told me how to leave, don't bother you to send it off."

She couldn't tell why, obviously they didn't have a deep relationship, but she stubbornly felt a little annoyed by the deliberate concealment of this ally.

"It's the Queen Mother".

Seeing her leave in a bad mood, he couldn't help but tell the truth.

Lian Qingcheng stopped and turned around slowly, "Queen Mother? ”

She knows that the people in the palace are indifferent, even if she is a father and son, the emperor has no love for Feng Guixi, the queen mother is the emperor's biological mother, she is seriously ill, why does the red clothes not report to the emperor but goes to find Feng Guixi, and he lives in the palace like walking on thin ice, why is he so concerned about the queen mother?

As if seeing her confusion, Feng Guiyi did not explain, but looked at Hongyi and said, "You go to Imperial Doctor Shen first, I will send the four princes away and rush back to Dingqian Palace." ”

"Yes".

The red clothes finished saluting and left, leaving only the two of them on the silent palace road.

"The mother concubine was famous all over the world in the previous dynasty, and after marrying into the Feng family, she was in charge of the family with all her heart, and she was deeply liked by the queen mother, and this love was transferred to me with the death of the mother concubine that year, the emperor gave me to the queen to raise, and the ministers of the court and the opposition were sinister, no matter who they were, they all hoped that I would not die well, these years, if it were not for the protection of the queen mother, I am afraid that I have been poisoned by the queen, the queen mother, is my last relative in this world, Cheng'er can understand?"

He said softly, making her feel a rare warmth, in the past, when I saw him, I always felt that he was too cold, but now, it made her feel distressed, he called her "Cheng'er", which means complete trust and confiding.

"The clouds sail on the moon, the boat moves on the shore, whoever bears your life should pay off his due debt."

She lowered her head and exhaled slowly, her hands clenched into fists.

Feng Guixie suddenly lowered his body and looked at her in disbelief, "You"

"Do the four princes like my paintings?"

She deliberately avoided it, and asked softly.

Seeing this, Feng Gui tacitly stopped asking, closed his eyes and smiled: "There is such a big mystery hidden in it, and it can please the emperor and the queen at the same time, Lao Cheng'er has to worry about it." ”

"Just take it as a thank you gift to the four princes for sending glowworms at night, I heard that Princess Ronghua's favorite before her death was the hairpin phoenix."

Lian Qingcheng smiled lightly, seeing that the candlelight in front of him was getting brighter and brighter, and his negative hand was gradually moving away from him.

Feng Guiyi looked at her back and looked at Fengqi Palace, where there seemed to be a little fluorescence, and he couldn't help but hook his lips and sneer.

Lian Qingcheng painted a golden hairpin on the phoenix head, and deliberately erased it with fluorescent, outsiders did not pay attention, but he clearly saw that the dragon and phoenix were auspicious, and the painting was clearly the emperor and his deceased mother.

That night, a nameless thief sneaked into the Treasure Pavilion and stole Lian Qingcheng's painting from the guards.

And the masterpiece of "Night Release, Flowing Light Moves Kyoto" has become a tea talk talked about by the world, and a painting is famous, and only Qingcheng is the only one in the world.

The breeze in the middle of the night always carries a kind of infiltrating coldness, a side hall in the palace is full of cold moonlight, outside the hall is a desolate image, it seems to have been abandoned for a long time, it has been rumored that this place is haunted at night, so the palace people and the guards do not dare to go this way.

At that time, a man stood in front of the window with his hands in his hands, a pair of raccoon eyes were cold, and there was a man in black kneeling behind him, who was hidden in the dark with his clothes and clothes, clothes and night, and if he didn't look closely, he wouldn't notice it at all.

"Master, find out, the previous year concubine sent a jade pillow to the queen mother, saying that it has the effect of calming the nerves and relieving worries, the queen mother has been feeling a headache after a few days, the red clothes have asked the queen mother to diagnose the queen mother's pulse several times and can not find the cause, the weather turned cold after the midyear festival, the queen mother gave the jade pillow to her personal grandmother, an hour ago the mother died, the doctor Shen said, it was poison death."

Feng Guixie's hand was clenched into a fist in his sleeve, and the person in the dark only felt that the air around him seemed to be condensed, and he looked up at him at a loss.

"Let the red clothes send the jade pillow to the emperor, and say that the emperor has done his best to deal with the government and politics, and the queen mother cares about the dragon body, and specially ordered her to send this thing to sleep safely."

The man was stunned, looked up at Feng Gui in confusion, the master knew that the jade pillow had chronic poison, why did he send it to the emperor, if the emperor was sick at this time, it would not be a good thing for them.

"Is there anything else?"

Feng Gui was slightly stunned when he saw him, and glanced at him indifferently.

"No, the subordinates retired."

As soon as the door opened and closed, only Feng Guixie was left in the hall in an instant, looking at the clear moon outside the window, he suddenly remembered a person, he hooked the corners of his lips and narrowed his eyes slightly.
