When Mu Yi walked into the Tuluan Palace, Zhique knelt upright on the temple.

Gu Beixuan sat on the desk and looked through the folds without speaking.

"Your Majesty." Wood one.

Gu Beixuan just nodded, his eyes were still on the fold, and he spoke lightly after half a salary.

"I heard you went to the ghost market a few days ago?"

"Yes." Kiichi replied.

"This ghost city has given the court hundreds of officials a headache for a long time, how about going here?" Gu Beixuan asked again.

"The water is deep." Kiichi handed over a dossier.

"I'll leave it to you, okay?" Gu Beixuan took the file, and before he could read it, he raised his eyes and looked at Mu Yi.

"Yes."

What does the emperor mean...... Is it handed over to Lord Mu to get rid of the ghost market?

Zhique was shocked, and moved his body to kneel forward a few steps.

"Your Majesty, Zhique is responsible for the trouble, this matter has nothing to do with Lord Mu, it was the stupidity of his position that made General Xiao know about it. Your Majesty, the ghost market is deep, and the court has been cleared many times over the years to no avail, and the prefect is powerless to ......"

Gu Beixuan raised his lips and looked at Mu Yi.

Mu Yi's expression did not change, and he did not look like he wanted to excuse himself, Gu Beixuan nodded happily.

"Zhique, although you are already in Zhaocha Mansion, you still have a lot to learn...... I won't be considerate of the punishment just now, but I don't want Mu Yi to take risks for you, it's just that I know that he can. If you really understand him, you will grow up to be his right-hand man, instead of saying to me here, what should I do, you know? Gu Beixuan still spoke softly.

What else did Zhique have to say, Father-in-law Wei had already come in, Wei Li glanced at the kneeling Zhique and the standing Mu Yi, and probably guessed that it was not a good thing, so he happened to relieve the siege and said:

"Your Majesty, I have to prepare for today's palace banquet......"

Gu Beixuan's brows still frowned when he heard this, and he put down his fold and said: "Recently, the government affairs have been heavy, and the Western Regions frontier is afraid of stirring up trouble, this palace banquet, I can't go, let them do it themselves."

"Your Majesty...... This...... For this palace banquet, the concubine specially asked people to find the autumn water fish caught this morning, and personally cooked a dish of clear water slice fish for His Majesty, which is intended to be like water for the monarch and the people, and the prosperity of the world is always peaceful......"

Father-in-law Wei said a lot of whistlings, but in fact, there is only one meaning.

Your Majesty, you have to go.

Because this palace banquet was organized by the concubine.

Gu Beixuan has no mother, this is a well-known thing in the palace. In this palace, the little princes can only be the son of the mother, and Gu Beiju, who has no mother, the first emperor never paid attention to it, so no one looked down on him at all, and many people laughed at him behind his back as a scholar of the princes, he was wronged, but he didn't dare to sue, because he had no one to sue, and everyone looked down on him.

Only the concubine.

Although the concubine position at that time was not high, it was the only place of care for Gu Beiling in this palace.

"I see."

Gu Beixuan waved his hand.

Shofu.

Xiao Qiao hadn't observed this maid's dress so carefully before, a faint pink skirt, only a few pale roses were embroidered on the cuffs. Lin Shuangyi thought that although the general was wearing the clothes of a maid, he had finally seen the emperor, so he smoked the clothes with light incense in advance, and there was a hint of sweet smell.

Xiao Qiao hadn't touched women's clothes for a long time, and when she changed into it, she felt a trace of uneasy coolness on her chest. And when she was a girl, she was tied to her waist, but at this time, Lin Shuangyi dragged those ropes to death, and she almost wanted Xiao Qiao's half life.

It's really hard to be a pretty woman. Xiao Qiao thought to himself.

Fortunately, Xiao Qiao is a person who practices martial arts, his figure is very well-proportioned, and he wears this ordinary clothes that cannot be in the ordinary, but he has a refined temperament.

When Lin Shuangyi combed her sideburns, she found that there were a few silver threads mixed in the black hair, and her throat was a little choked for a while. No wonder Xiao Qiao usually doesn't want Lin Shuangyi or the maid to comb her hair, saying that she is not used to it, but in fact, she should be afraid that they will be sad to see it.

"It's okay, just pull it out." Xiao Qiao noticed Lin Shuangyi's expression and comforted her.

The sandalwood comb is combed to the end, combing the gentle heart, and combing the annual rings that are gone.

Xiao Qiao looked at herself in the bronze mirror, only to feel very strange, the last time she sat like this and was combed by someone, A-Niang was still alive.

A-Niang often said that a woman has fifteen new sideburns, red makeup and moon eyebrows when she gets married, and Jin Tian Fengxia is born in a lotus.

Now she has already passed fifteen, but no one has made new temples for her, and no one has watched her step into a lotus.

After finishing the makeup, Xiao Qiao smiled lightly at Ah Shuang, with bright eyes and bright teeth, like the drunkenness of the peach forest blown by the spring breeze for ten miles.

In the evening, the lights are on.

The red palace wall melts into a warmth under the illumination of Chinese lanterns, like a few bright stars. The palace wall has passed one after another, although it is a magnificent beauty, but it is also a mountain that cannot be crossed.

The beautiful ladies who came to the palace for the banquet had the most popular flowers on their faces, and they hung a kind smile, greeting each other, and laughter came and went around the palace wall.

Lin Shuangyi's etiquette made Xiao Qiao surprised, she had seen dozens of people since she entered the door, she could recognize them and the etiquette was in place, those who came to salute or return the salute, they were polite when they saw Lin Shuangyi. Perhaps, as Lin Shuangyi said, Xiao Qiao's military exploits have also given the honor of the general's mansion.

Lin Shuangyi always had a smile on her face, but everyone's eyes fell on the maid behind Lin Shuangyi. This person is Xiao Qiao.

In this palace banquet, everyone hides their own thoughts.

In order to compete for favor in order to sell well, the concubines must dress up differently today, and the tricks of competing for favor are also endless.

And the women and dependents outside the palace are trying to do everything possible to present newcomers to the emperor......

Xiao Qiao's eyes naturally filled her thoughts: but in five years, people have forgotten whether the walls of this palace are stained with lacquer or blood?

entered the inner palace, and sure enough, as Xiao Qiao said, Lin Shuangyi's visit to the banquet this time became the object of everyone's discussion.

Those women and female dependents surrounded Lin Shuangyi, and there were some concubines who came to join in the fun.

"Mrs. Xiao, when will you have a child? Does General Xiao want a young lady or a young master?

"This still needs to be asked, it must be the young master, the Xiao family has been the door for generations...... Mrs. Xiao, I know a Taoist temple, begging for a son! ”

"Mrs. Xiao, take the liberty of asking, can the general still accept the small? My cousin has been admiring the general for a long time......"

"Mrs. Shaw......"

"The Holy Driver is here!" Someone outside the crowd suddenly alerted.

The ladies knelt together.

Lin Shuangyi suddenly found that Xiao Qiao hadn't knelt yet, and hurriedly pulled her, Xiao Qiao sighed, unwilling to kneel, the woman also had gold under her knees, and only worshiped her parents and Ruyijun.

Lin Shuangyi was so anxious that she dragged her, Xiao Qiao couldn't help it, one knee was buckled on the ground, and the other foot was well hidden by the skirt.

Lin Shuangyi muttered a few words in her lips, probably saying that she was going to die.

Xiao Qiao was about to raise her head, but Lin Shuangyi pulled her hand and grabbed her.

"Don't look at the dragon's face directly." Lin Shuangyi whispered.

Xiao Qiao pursed his mouth, but still raised his eyes to look.

At the corner of the palace, the yellow banner floated out first, aiming at the clouds, drawing the heavenly dragon, highlighting the power of the Son of Heaven.

There was silence all around, and everyone didn't dare to kick for an extra breath, and Xiao Qiao could even directly hear the footsteps of the palace people.

Click.

Click.

Like the sound of the spring rain sliding down the eaves and hitting the small puddle on the stone slab that year, when she raised her eyes, she saw the young man holding an umbrella.

"Girl, where are you going?"

She remembered the spring rain that year, the young man in white clothes like a white crane, the young man's eyebrows, the smile on his lips, and the wet shoulders when he sent her home.

Just when a gust of wind passed, the plain veil on the holy car was ethereal, she couldn't see his eyebrows clearly, and it was impossible to even ask him "How are you doing", she could only see that he was still plain, walking towards here......

Retracting her look, she could only hang her eyes, the years passed, so far, she is no longer a girl hiding in the eaves waiting for the rain to stop, and he is no longer a young man who gently stops her shoulders and always has a light smile on the corner of his mouth.

He is her king.

She was his vassal.

Protect your mountains and rivers and keep your country and the people safe.

Xiao Qiao was also indifferent in his heart.

But when he looked up again, Xiao Qiao was so frightened that he almost buried his head in the ground-

Although according to the etiquette, you can't look at Long Yan directly, but the ones who really bury their heads honestly are people like Lin Shuangyi.

Gu Beiji sat on the car, flipping through the folds, and there were all folds in his hand, until he heard everyone's "Emperor Wan'an", Gu Beiji raised his head and smiled warmly.

Gu Bei Lingsheng is fair-skinned, but his eyebrows are thick, his lips are as thin as cicada wings, the amplitude of the corners of his mouth when he laughs is very good, and there is a ripple of spring water in his gentle peach blossom eyes...... Xiao Qiao remembered that Gu Beiling had a mole in his heart, saying that it was a kind appearance, but thinking about it, Xiao Qiao seemed to have never seen Gu Beiling lose his temper.

Gu Beixuan on the car was like a gentle spring breeze, in stark contrast to the expressionless black below.

Damn, why is Kiichi here!

Xiao Qiao buried his head deadly, but was discovered by Gu Beixuan on the seat, and he was shocked, but the tenderness at the corner of his mouth was a little deeper.

The holy car stopped directly in front of Lin Shuangyi, and everyone glanced at it with their afterglow.

Lin Shuangyi saluted dignifiedly: "Wife Lin Shuangyi, please be safe."

Gu Beixuan's eyes fell on the maid who was deeply buried in her head, and did not leave.

It's just that Mu Yi didn't seem to notice the ostrich-like Xiao Qiao.

But the other people around him were different from Mu Yi, and their eyes were all communicating: What! The beauty brought by the general's wife took down the emperor so easily?

"Here we are." Gu Beixuan said lightly.

Xiao Qiao buried his head deeper.

"Can't see me, can't see me, Mu Yi must not recognize me......" Xiao Qiao prayed to God and Buddha in his heart, and suddenly frowned, "Coming?" When did Ah Shuang get acquainted with Gu Fox? But...... She has not been in Luoning City all these years, Gu Fox should have also helped take care of Ah Shuang a lot...... Thinking about it this way, I still have to thank Gu Fox......"

Lin Shuangyi smiled slightly and nodded: Sure enough! The emperor has seen the general! The emperor really has an interest in the general!

Gu Beixuan also smiled slightly: She was shy! She's definitely shy!

Mu Yi was inexplicable: Can you go or not?

Xiao Qiao begged God to tell the Buddha: Save the child, what are you looking at!

The group was stalemate for a while, and finally ended with Gu Beiling leaving with a meaningful smile.

After walking away for a long time, Gu Beixuan suddenly leaned over the fold in his hand and said to the person next to him:

"Weili, the back garden is full of lights today."

A back garden full of lights?

Father-in-law Wei looked incredulous.

That year, in order to please Gu Beiling, the Ministry of Rites lit the lantern into a galaxy in the back garden, but Gu Beiling only reprimanded "delicate". Now, it's the Milky Way?

Could it be that the emperor, do you really like the beauty presented by Xiao Lin, the general's wife?
