Xiao Qi has been thinking about Chi Qi for a long time.

Where to start? It was probably when my brother had just died in battle, and the regent had just found himself and brought himself into the regent's palace.

At that time, although the regent paid great attention to her, she was a man after all, and she was already twelve years old at that time, and when she reached the cardamom years, she should know that she had to avoid suspicion with men, not to mention that this man had a pivotal position in the Shen Kingdom.

So Xiao Qi suffered a lot of grievances during the long period of time when he first came.

Although Shen Xie let others respect her as a young lady, after all, she is not an orthodox identity, and no one takes her seriously.

What's more, at that time, there was a serious princess Lu Ziyue in the family, and there would be no one to treat her as a foreign woman.

Of course, Lu Ziyue never put her mind on her little sister.

For Lu Ziyue at that time, it was natural for Shen Xie to bring back a lonely and helpless woman from outside, after all, this woman's brother had a life-saving grace for him.

And as Shen Xie's wife, although she is also responsible for this foreign woman, it is not worth her to spend a lot of thought on Xiao Qi.

She didn't know that Xiao Qi's life was in dire straits at that time, and she didn't know the torment and pain that a little girl suffered in her heart after the death of her only brother.

But Mu Chi knew it.

Xiao Qi will always remember the scene when she and Mu Chiqi met for the first time.

At that time, she was being taught a lesson by the indifferent servant, and Xiao Qi was very afraid of the servant girl who was angry with her from time to time, and she always shrunk her body when she was scolded, revealing her most pitiful side.

But every time he did this, he was always exchanged for more ruthless yelling and scolding from the servant.

And that time, when Xiao Qi shrank his body again, he was ready to be scolded, but he didn't expect that what came from his ears was not the ugly words spoken by the maidservant, but a man's very gentle voice mixed with the smell of worry.

Since her brother's death, it was the first time that Xiao Qi had heard that someone else was worried about her.

That is Mu Chi Qi.

He straightened her cowering body, then pulled out two pink silk flowers from her cuffs and put them on her casually coiled hair.

Xiao Qi has been in the Regent's Mansion for so long, and it is the first time that someone has given her such a beautiful thing.

Her heart was full of joy, but at that time, she didn't have the slightest gratitude, and she didn't like him.

She really fell in love with this man after a long time.

But no matter how much he likes it in his heart, Xiao Qi also knows that there is a big identity difference between the two of them, Mu Chiqi is the king of Anyang, a relative of the clan, and the person who wants to marry him must be a noble daughter of a family.

can help him in the government.

Xiao Qi knew that she couldn't, she was not from a high background, not to mention that the only pillar of the family had passed away.

So for so many years, she has not dared to say what she likes, Mu Chiqi already has a wife, even if the two of them are just a family marriage, but the name of Princess Anyang is also written into the family tree.

But this liking will not fade over time, but will slowly precipitate because she does not dare to announce it to the public.

The liking will slowly deepen in the passage of time, and Xiao Qi has now reached a state where his heart beats faster and his palms sweat when he says a few more words to Mu Chiqi.

She couldn't maintain her previous calm and indifference.

Mu Chiqi didn't pay much attention to Xiao Qi's state, and naturally she didn't know that she was a little nervous now.

For a moment, neither of them spoke.

It was Lu Ziyue, because she couldn't find Xiao Qi, so she specially asked the maid who was passing by, and then she knew that she and Mu Chiqi were drinking tea, and asked the maid to bring her over.

"King Anyang and Xiao Qi are talking so lively, I don't know if this palace is a little out of place?"

Lu Ziyue stepped forward with a smile and found a place to sit down, dragging his chin and looking at Mu Chiyu: "Your princess's mood has stabilized much more, does the prince want to go and see?" ”

"It's not now." Mu Chi Yan waved his hand, "I just told Miss Xiaoqi about staying for dinner, what does the princess regent think?" ”

"I'm not interested, the Regent Mansion doesn't lack a bite of food from this princess, and there is no shortage of Xiaoqi, but thank you King Anyang for your kindness."

Stretch out your hand and don't hit the smiling person, not to mention that Mu Chiyu has never offended Lu Ziyue.

She didn't expect Mu Chi to refuse so decisively, and frowned: "The princess regent seems to have any opinions on Xiao Wang, Xiao Wang thinks that if you and I have any misunderstanding, the princess regent might as well say it, we always have to explain the misunderstanding clearly." ”

Xiao Qi also looked at Lu Ziyue with some puzzlement, her sudden appearance resolved her embarrassment.

Her expression was also a little relaxed: "The princess really had a holiday with King Anyang?" ”

After speaking, she became more and more puzzled.

The relationship between the king of Anyang and the regent is okay, they are all clan relatives, although they don't see each other much on weekdays, but they will make appointments to discuss everything in private, this time to enlighten the princess of Anyang, it is the regent who gave the king of Anyang a face.

Xiao Qi couldn't figure it out, and Mu Chiqi didn't understand it even more.

The expressions on the faces of the two of them were very puzzled, and Lu Ziyue raised his eyebrows: "I don't think as much as the two of you think, I have no hostility towards King Anyang, it's just that it's not early today, and King Anyang has to comfort the princess, he has a lot to do, and you and I are inconvenient to bother." ”

After she finished speaking, she put down her cheek-supporting hands: "It's not early, what does the prince think?" ”

Lu Ziyue's voice was very peaceful, but Mu Chiyu just intuitively felt that she was a little dissatisfied with herself.

It's just that there is no need for smart people to pick everything out.

"Okay." He smiled and said, "Since the princess has said so, it is inconvenient for the little prince to continue to force, the carriage back to the regent's palace has been prepared for the princess, the princess should pay attention to safety on the road, and remember to say hello to the prince for the little prince when she arrives." ”

"Nature." Lu Ziyue also smiled.

The carriage back home was shaking, Xiao Qi's face was always very strange, and she handed over her handkerchief uneasily.

Lu Ziyue sat next to her, naturally noticed her strangeness, and poured a cup of tea for Xiao Qi in the teapot on the side: "What's the matter, after coming out of Anyang Palace, you are not in a good state?" ”

"It's nothing, I just don't understand, why Princess Anyang is unwilling to let the eldest young master of King Anyang be a proton? It stands to reason that after the eldest young master left, the remaining juniors in the Anyang Mansion were only the children in her belly, so why would she be unwilling to do such a thing once and for all? ”

"Can you think that this thing is good for her, and others can't think of it?"

Lu Ziyue poured herself a cup of tea and blew all the tea leaves on it.

"Sometimes some people don't ask about the right and wrong things when they talk about things, they only stubbornly believe what they see and hear, and they are also very stubborn about passing those things out."

She smiled: "After sending the eldest prince out easily, I am afraid that all the noble ladies in the capital will think that Princess Anyang blew the pillow wind of King Anyang, and Princess Anyang will not have a good reputation at that time." ”

"So is this the reason why the King of Anyang specially invited you to the princess? His purpose is to let those people in the capital understand that Princess Anyang also has feelings for that concubine. ”

Lu Ziyue raised her eyebrows, but she didn't expect Xiao Qi to react to her words so quickly, she was really a smart woman, no wonder everyone was praising her as a female middle scholar.

However, Lu Ziyue remembered that he had just seen Xiao Qi's wrong expression in the Anyang Palace, so he was a little curious about the reason.

She held her chin: "Do you think King Anyang is a person worthy of entrusting for life?" ”

Xiao Qi sighed in her heart, Lu Ziyue is not a boring person, she will not ask herself this question without any reason, isn't it, the gaffe just now was too serious, what clues did Lu Ziyue see?

Her phone began to sweat again, and countless answers appeared in her head, but she didn't know which one to say.

She didn't want to say that King Anyang was a person who was not worth entrusting for life, but looking at Lu Ziyue's current appearance, she could also guess that this princess and Mu Chiyu were not very opposed.

After thinking for a long time, she cautiously replied: "If King Anyang is not a person worthy of entrusting for life, Princess Anyang will not be willing to give him children, after all, Princess Anyang is not an ordinary woman, I heard from other ladies that Princess Anyang has her own ideas." ”

"Maybe, but I see that you are sixteen years old now, and the prince and I are also planning to find a suitable person for you, after all, in a few years, Xiao Qi will reach the age suitable for marriage."

She also had no intention of talking about the Anyang Palace, but if she stayed in this carriage and didn't say something, she would be bored.

pushed the topic on Xiao Qi again.

Want to see if she is interested in Shen Xie, or if she has a crush on her?

Lu Ziyue has a psychological cleanliness fetish, or rather, she still likes Shen Xie, so she can't accept that this man has a relationship with another woman.

Although the two of them are now arguing and are getting along in a very strange way, they love each other with genuine love.

Lu Ziyue is not a person who doesn't know what to do, as long as she can be sure that Shen Xie really saved her parents' lives, then the two of them can go back to the past.

She's not a fool, and she's not blind to reality.

Since the Shen State has destroyed the Great Yue Kingdom, what they still have to do is to work hard to protect the people of the Great Yue Kingdom who are still alive.

As long as they can live well, it doesn't make much difference which country they live in.

After all, only by keeping that life can you be qualified to say anything else.
