Qingxi stood under the ancient dry lotus in the courtyard, the moonlight was cold and sprinkled, all the sounds were silent, and his thoughts were like a tide.

She raised her eyes to look at the ancient dry lotus, and remembered that Ah Gong had said that when she was born, the beauty of the magnolia was full of eyes, which Ah Gong said may not be when she was born, but when she was sent to the Chen family.

She lowered her eyes slightly, looking at the bluestone that was shining brighter and brighter under the moonlight, and her furrowed brows were full of worry.

She was an important minister in the former dynasty, and after the rebellion in the current dynasty.

And Xiao Yizheng is the queen of the previous dynasty.

In today's situation, this fact must not be known to others.

Ah Gong said that whether or not to tell Xiao Liu the truth about tonight immediately depends entirely on himself.

And the truest thought in her mind was: it was enough to keep her worries alone. If he doesn't know, he doesn't know. He was originally a carefree person, and the sky was high and the sea was the most suitable, so why should he bear so many burdens.

If Xiao Yizheng has the blood of the Xiao royal family in his body, he will not suffer any catastrophe because of this, then his life experience will be broken one by one, but it will affect everyone, including Xiao Yizheng, of course!

She rubbed the magnolia pendant of the wearer on her chest, and kept asking herself, what should I do?

"I think Liuniang shouldn't be able to sleep." Li Han's voice came from behind him.

Qingxi was stunned and looked back at her, the corners of his mouth rose slightly, revealing a meaningful smile.

Li Han smiled back with understanding, stepped forward, and stood side by side with him.

The two looked at the bright moon in the sky in silence, and did not speak for a long time, until the night wind suddenly blew and Qingxi sneezed.

Li Han looked at her sideways and smiled: "Your body is not as good as mine." ”

Qingxi nodded with a smile and said apologetically: "I was pampered and grew up, and I was tired of taking on a lot of people for me. ”

Li Han gradually put away his smile and said with a little disappointment: "I thought you were transparent and open-minded, how could you be so hypocritical?" ”

Qingxi tugged at the collar and understood what she meant, but still smiled.

"Don't take the blame for me being used as your stand-in, it's none of your business. Besides, I said, it's a good thing for me! You were pampered and raised, why shouldn't I? I was held in the palm of my hand by the whole Changfeng, I am very happy! I thought you understood! ”

Qingxi raised his eyes, looked directly into Li Han's eyes, and said in a deep voice, "I understand." Just knowing doesn't mean being calm. However, you are right, and if I ever again show that you are uncomfortable in front of you, it will be my hypocrisy. ”

Li Hanfu smiled heartily again: "That's right!" Speaking of which, our fate is also profound. ”

Qingxi sighed softly and agreed.

"Actually, if it was you who was sent to Sujiang back then, and today this phoenix pendant is also passed on to you, who will inquire whether the person who holds the admiration is qualified?"

"What do you mean?" Li Han was puzzled.

"I mean, the encounter between the dragon and the phoenix is about a batch of treasures that can be recruited. Although the dragon and phoenix pairs handed down are jointly controlled by the royal family of the previous dynasty and the descendants of the Li family, who are meritorious and loyal. But after all, the jade pendant is a dead thing, and it is possible to pass it on to anyone, didn't the former prince of the year think about the risks involved? ”

Li Han frowned, and after thinking about it, it was indeed the case. "You can ask Mr. Chen."

"Ah Gong doesn't know."

After everyone left the study, she asked Chen Ji, and Chen Ji said: "Presumably he was out of trust at that time, and he didn't think about it deeply." ”

Li Han was silent for a moment and asked, "Then what are your plans next?" ”

Qingxi frowned and shook his head slightly: "Actually, at this moment, I am upset. ”

Li Han nodded in understanding, and then said with a little ease: "Fortunately, Tanhualang is in the mansion tonight to deal with the follow-up matters, if he is present to hear these secrets, it is estimated that he will have to talk to you for a long time." ”

Qingxi was stunned for a moment, and the corners of his mouth were dyed with a smile again: "It's only you who said that he was verbose." Come to think of it, since Ah Gong has told us so many things, he will not hide it from him. ”

Sure enough, the next day, Ling Qingsong returned home, and an hour later, he hurriedly walked into Qingxi's courtyard, and when he found Qingxi under the ancient dry lotus, she was stroking the qin, and it was the Taixuanqin that she was supporting.

When she looked up and saw Qing Song, she knew everything, and said softly, "This piano belongs to our aunt who has known it since childhood."

, that is, Empress Xiaoyi. I used to wonder why the guqin that was rumored to be hidden in the royal family of the previous dynasty was in the hands of Empress Xiaoyi, but now it seems that everything can be traced. ”

Qing Song's eyes were deep, staring at her, and he only said one sentence for a while: "Do you remember what I said to you when you got married?" Heng'er will not change, never change. ”

Qingxi's eyes were shining, revealing a bright smile.

Zhao Xin, Moon Shadow and Xiao Yiran didn't know what was going on in the mansion, but they all noticed that the rest of the people seemed to be a little heavy these days, except for the Chen couple who were as light as ever.

The first thing Zhao Xin and Xiao Yiran thought of was: Did something happen to Xiao Yizheng in Shangdu?

"There is no definite news yet. However, it has been some time since His Majesty ascended the throne, but he has not set off to return to Sujiang, thinking that even if there is no life-threatening matter, it is not smooth. "Qingxi Road.

Zhao Xin and Moon Shadow glanced at each other, both had a plan in their hearts, and after all, Moon Shadow couldn't help but ask: "Could it really be as rumored by the outside world, His Royal Highness is going to marry that Danda princess?" ”

Qingxi was silent, not knowing what he was thinking.

Seeing this, Xiao Yiran immediately comforted him: "The sixth brother won't, the sixth sister-in-law should not believe the rumors from the outside world." ”

"That's it! That princess is very arrogant and domineering, and Her Highness won't like it. Moon Shadow was indignant. She also had a relationship with Qiqina in Beisu, but because of her provocation to Qingxi at that time, she did not have a good image of her.

Qingxi smiled slightly, straightened Xiao Yiran's clothes and said, "Sixth sister-in-law believes in Xiaoqi, you should go to the study, don't let Ah Gong wait." ”

Xiao Yizheng snorted, turned around and left.

Qingxi turned to Zhao Xin and smiled: "Zhao Xin, do you know, my family Moon Shadow is a scheming person, and he can't tolerate three wives and four concubines." If you can't be single-minded in the future, I can't promise her to you, so as not to hurt the two of you!" ”

"Princess!" Lunaris's face was half flushed.

Zhao Xin was stunned, and when he reflected, he hurriedly saluted and said: "My subordinates made an oath in front of the princess today: I have only one person in this life, Moon Shadow alone, and I have no two hearts, otherwise I will ......."

"Shut up!" Before Zhao Xin's words could be finished, Moon Shadow interrupted with a hurry.

"Who said they were going to follow you?" She muttered inarticulately.

"Don't you really want to follow him?" Qingxi asked her softly, paused deliberately, and said, "You can think about it, if you don't want to do it today, you can't regret it later." ”

"Moon Shadow!" Zhao Xin was in a hurry.

"Oh, girl!" Moon Shadow was so embarrassed that she forgot the rules and called the most intimate title.

Qingxi looked at the couple standing in front of him and smiled: "Okay, I won't tease you." It's good, it's good......."

Then, she put away her smile and said to Zhao Xin: "Zhao Xin, Moon Shadow is my sister, I can call the shots alone." Today, I entrust her to you, and in the future you will protect her and grow old together. ”

Zhao Xin immediately pulled the moon shadow who seemed to be a little stunned on the side and knelt down, kowtowed: "Princess Xie is complete, and her subordinates will treat her like a jewel." ”

Moon Shadow blinked at Qingxi and asked, "Princess, are you going to marry me off?" ”

Qingxi pulled her up, and also motioned for Zhao Xin to get up, and said, "It's time too." It's just that in the current situation, it seems that it is not the right time to prepare for your marriage, but I can rest assured that this matter will be settled first. ”

Moon Shadow held Qingxi's hand tightly, and her mood was both sweet and lost, indescribable.

Qingxi also instructed: "In a few days, my brother will escort Qianmian Xue to Shangdu." Zhao Xin, you are good at martial arts, I think this errand is most suitable for you to complete. In addition, your master is now in Shangdu, and he must need to use people, and you can help him when you go back. ”

"However, His Royal Highness asked his subordinates to protect the safety of the princess!"

"Do you think I still need so many guards around me?" Qingxi said with a smile.

Li Han, Jiang Lian, and now there seems to be more Ding Ming, all of whom are people with martial arts. Although Zhao Xin vaguely felt that there was a secret between them, he was sure that they would protect Chen Yuan's people.

However, he saw Xiao Yizheng's instructions more important than anything else: "But ......"

"This is my order, now it's up to you to listen to whom!" Qingxi but

A decisive railway that cannot be refused.

Zhao Xinyi shut up, remembering that he had laughed and said that if he made the princess unhappy, the consequences would be more serious than making His Royal Highness angry.

Thinking about it carefully, Qingxi's arrangement is actually more reasonable. Besides, he was really worried about Xiao Yizheng in Shangdu City.

"Subordinates obey." He hugged his fists.

Qingxi nodded with satisfaction, and wrote lightly: "Moon Shadow, you can also go back to Shangdu with Zhao Xin." ”

"What?" Moon Shadow didn't seem to believe her ears.

Zhao Xin was also stunned.

Qingxi said firmly: "Well, you go back to Beijing with him." I think that if Chengzhan can't return to Sujiang in the short term, then we can't be separated from the north and south for a long time, and I will consider returning to Shangdu. So, you go back to the palace first and get ready to do something. ”

"Just let Zhao Xin go back and tell Uncle Zhong to arrange it, and I'll accompany you." Moon Shadow naturally does not follow.

Qingxi pulled her over and shook her head with a smile: "No matter how good Uncle Zhong is, how can you be considerate and thoughtful?" I know you can't bear me, but if you really marry Zhao Xin in the future, will you still follow me all day long? ”

Moon Shadow stagnated, and said angrily: "Then I won't marry, and I will serve you for the rest of my life." ”

Qingxi hugged her and said movingly, "Silly Moon Shadow." ”

Moon Shadow hadn't twisted Qingxi after all, and she had confirmed that she would follow Zhao Xin to Shangdu.

But then, this time there was one more person from Shangdu: Ling Qingsong.

The imperial court issued an order from the emperor: Ling Qingsong was ordered to return to Shangdu as soon as possible.

At the same time, the imperial court also sent another news: the emperor agreed to Ling Deyan's request for a minister. In a few days, Ling Deyan was about to step down from the post of secretary of the household department and return to Sujiang with his family.
