The warm sunset stretched Feng Qingchen's figure long, and his charming eyes cast a large shadow under the darkness that Shen Yunxi couldn't see.

Shen Yunxi suddenly stopped, stood in place, and watched him walk towards her step by step.

Seeing that the people behind him did not follow, Xiao Yihan was suspicious, and when he turned his head, he saw her staying there, looking straight ahead, he looked over and saw Feng Qingchen walking towards them.

Thinking of her words 'This is not what I want', Xiao Yihan couldn't help but feel uneasy for Shen Yunxi, if Feng Qingchen heard this, he was afraid that he would not be at peace again.

Feng Qingchen stood still in front of Shen Yunxi, he didn't say a word, just stood like this, the shadows were cast, and there was a sense of oppression that was a little difficult to resist.

Shen Yunxi sighed secretly and asked softly, "The matter is all over?" ”

"Hmm." Feng Qingchen only hummed softly, and did not speak too much. There were no mood fluctuations in his dark eyes, and even his tone was flat as usual.

Then, he turned around, looked at Xiao Yihan, and asked lightly, "Han and the princess are old acquaintances?" ”

"I've met twice outside the palace before, so I'm not familiar." Xiao Yihan nodded and replied lightly.

"Really?" Feng Qingchen glanced at Shen Yunxi and replied coldly, but Shen Yunxi felt that his two words were a little yin and yang, and the chill was infiltrating.

The corners of Xiao Yihan's lips hooked lightly and nodded. The next moment, remembering something, he smiled and said to Feng Qingchen: "Chen, I haven't been to the house to congratulate you on your wedding after returning to Beijing for a few days, you won't blame me, right?" ”

"No, it won't." His tone is neither salty nor light, so that people can't hear the slightest emotion.

Then, he turned to Shen Yunxi and said, "Let's go." The dinner is about to begin. With that, he took her hand and walked forward. The action is intimate.

Xiao Yihan turned around, looked at their figures, looked at their hands holding each other, thinking about her previous words, his brows couldn't help frowning slightly, but he couldn't figure it out.

He shook his head helplessly, maybe he was too careful, and then raised his foot and quickly chased after them.

Shen Yunxi let Feng Qingchen hold his hand without struggling. Don't struggle, just because this is in the palace, a struggle is just to attract the attention of people passing by. In this way, it is better to let him hold it like this. His gaze was fixed on their intertwined hands.

It was the second time he had pulled her hand.

It's a bit of a trance, it seems like their relationship is really so close, but can they really go on like this?

However, his palm was still slightly cold, and he couldn't feel warm.

Her heart couldn't settle down.

A burst of worry surged in his heart, raised his head, looked at him, his side face, the lines were resolute and tight, and there seemed to be a cold and hard aura around him, which made people feel a little suffocated.

However, she looked at him like this, and after all, she didn't say a word, and walked all the way into the Yongning Palace, and both of them were silent.

In the Yongning Palace, the princes, concubines, and ministers were in their positions, whispering to the people next to them from time to time.

As soon as Feng Qingchen and the three of them walked to their positions, Su Lianrong and Ling Shuiyao walked in, their eyes fell on Shen Yunxi, and cast a cold look, Shen Yunxi withdrew his gaze without a trace, as if he didn't see her, turned his head and smiled at Feng Qingchen and sat down.

Su Lianrong was so angry that she stared at Shen Yunxi with anger, and the anger in her eyes seemed to burn her. Immediately, as if he thought of something, his eyes flashed, his eyes were full of cunning, he turned his head slightly, and said to Ling Shuiyao: "Go over and sit down." ”

Ling Shuiyao hummed softly, and sat down on the seat under the traction of the palace maid.

Feng Qingchen sipped the tea, glanced at Su Lianrong at the other end, put down the teacup lightly, and said, "When did you have a feud with Su Jieyu?" ”

Shen Yunxi was playing with the teacup in front of the table with his eyebrows lowered, but when he suddenly heard Feng Qingchen's words, he was suddenly surprised, and it took a while to realize that he was asking her.

It is worthy of being the god of war of the Tianqi Dynasty, and he saw the grievances between them clearly at a glance, and then Shen Yunxi sighed, her fingers still playing with the teacup, she said: "Actually, it's nothing, it's just that Su Jieyu misunderstood me a little when I was in the back garden." ”

"Really?" Feng Qingchen replied lukewarmly, as if what he said just now was just a random question he asked, and he didn't need her to answer.

Shen Yunxi turned her head, his indifferent expression could not see the slightest emotion, she lowered her eyes and smiled, with a wry smile. She thought he was caring about her, but it turned out that she was thinking too much.

It's just that his hot and cold attitude really confused her, and Shen Yunxi secretly thought to herself that it might be necessary to sit down with him and have a good talk.

Just thinking about this, a loud announcement from the eunuch came from outside: "The emperor has arrived!" The Queen Mother has arrived! ”

Shen Yunxi hurriedly got up and greeted the arrival of the emperor and the queen mother together with the other concubines and princes in the palace.

"Today is the Queen Mother's birthday banquet, all the relatives don't have to be so gifted, let's get up!" Feng Linye helped the Queen Mother to walk into the main hall in a deep step, looked at the people in the hall condescendingly, and said in a deep voice. The queen mother standing beside him is kind and kind-eyed, dressed in gorgeous clothes, and is not noble.

The crowd shouted again for a while before they stood up.

The Queen Mother walked steadily up the steps under the support of the emperor, walked to the highest point, turned around and stood, and everyone knelt down again, shouting: "I wish the Queen Mother a long life and good health, long live a thousand years!" ”

"Good, good!" The Queen Mother's excitement was overflowing, and after saying three good words in a row, she asked everyone to get up and take their seats.

The south of the hall set up the stage, the big gilded longevity word on the stage wall in the light of the room is shining golden, Li Gonggong waved the dust in his hand, the music of the morning congratulations was played, and the singer's loud voice sang the congratulations of the birthday and wine with the music.

In the singing and encouragement, the concubines, princes and ministers came forward in groups to congratulate, and the queen mother always sat high with a smile on the corner of her mouth, enjoying the glory and pride that no one could appreciate.

Whenever she sees a gift that she is satisfied with, she raises her hand slightly with her fingers, which is a good reward for the person who gave the gift.

Shen Yunxi sat at the table and looked at the people who kept offering gifts forward, and then glanced at the people in the hall, she couldn't help frowning slightly, even Jing Xuan, who was empty-handed at the gate of the palace before, also brought a gift, only she really entered empty-handed.

"What's wrong? Don't like this meeting?! Feng Qingchen's cold voice suddenly sounded in Shen Yunxi's ears.

Shen Yunxi turned his head and said with a slight complaint: "Since you know that today is the birthday of the Queen Mother, why didn't you tell me earlier, wouldn't I come so empty-handed to give people with a heart a chance to fall into the well?" ”
