Ten years later
When the two of them entered, there was still a smell of alcohol in the hall, and it was conceivable how much Zhaohui drank last night. It's no wonder that when Shen Huai met Qi Han this morning, his face was so ugly.
Shen Huai walked forward with Yu Yao, lifted the curtain and took a look, only to see Zhaohui lying peacefully on the bed, with no trace of sobriety at all.
"......" Yu Yao.
Shen Huai sat down on the edge of Zhaohui's bed without paying attention, and then began to call her.
Zhaohui was still in a daze when he was woken up by Shen Huai, looking at Shen Huai and Yu Yao standing next to him with sleepy eyes, and muttered, "What's wrong?" How did you guys get here? ”
Shen Huai picked up the clothes that were placed aside, handed them to her, and motioned for her to change them first.
Zhaohui changed his clothes and glanced at the two of them, as if he couldn't understand why the two of them came over today.
Suddenly, Zhaohui caught a glimpse of the dragon and phoenix candles that had not been received on the side.
"Remembered?" Shen Huai said casually.
Zhaohui's neck stiffened, and his mind began to flash back to the scene that had happened last night.
At first, it was a picture of her holding a small jar of wine and drinking heartily when Qi Han didn't come back. Immediately afterwards, Qi Han came back, and she began to hold the picture of Qi Han insisting that he sing with her.
"......" summons emblem. What did she do last night?
"That ......" Zhaohui, who has always been fearless, was really a little scared this time, and asked cautiously, "What about him now?" ”
Shen Huai pursed his lips and replied, "It should be with Ah Rin to go to the court." ”
Zhaohui stroked his little heart and said with relief: "Fortunately, fortunately." ”
She still had a few hours to think of what to do.
Looking at the frightened Zhaohui, Shen Huai and Yu Yao decided that it was better to leave time for her to think about countermeasures slowly.
Zhaohui is indeed full of her outrageous actions last night, and she has no intention of entertaining Shen Huai and Yu Yao.
After Shen Huai and Yu Yao went out, they began to look for Qi Zeyan and Yu Wenzha from her family.
"Goo, come back, don't chase it."
When the two of them first arrived, they saw Yu Wenzha chasing Qi Zeyan who was running in front of her with a look of urgency.
At this time, Qi Zeyan was walking on his short legs, chasing the rabbit running in front of him.
These two people and a rabbit constitute a beautiful scenery in the palace.
"Where did this rabbit come from?" Suddenly, an inky figure suddenly appeared in everyone's sight, took a few steps forward and picked up the rabbit that was still running around, and raised his eyebrows and asked.
Yu Wenzha looked at it and found that the person was none other than Mo Yun.
"Put that rabbit down." Since it was Mo Yun, Yu Wenzha would not speak so politely, after all, she still remembered the original incident in her heart.
Mo Yun looked at it when he heard the sound, and found that Yu Wenzha was standing opposite him with his hands crossed, and couldn't help but laugh, and put down the rabbit he was carrying.
Qi Zeyan hugged the rabbit who still wanted to escape, glanced up at Mo Yun, and thanked him obediently.
Seeing his cute smile, Mo Yun couldn't help but reach out and pinch his face.
Who knew that Qi Zeyan took a few steps back, looked at him vigilantly, and then ran back without looking back.
“???” Ink clouds.
Why didn't he even treat a child, what did he do wrong?
Yu Wenzha hugged Qi Zeyan, who ran towards her, and his eyes showed appreciation.
Yu Yao and Shen Huai stood side by side, looking at the scene in front of them, and laughed.
In the distance, it was Qi Yuan and Gong Yanshan.
"What happened last time...... I'm sorry. Qi Yuan looked at Gong Yanshan's beautiful face, and his heart was a little weak.
Speaking of which, if he hadn't thought about letting Gong Yanshan drink with him, he wouldn't have caused trouble.
Gong Yanshan was a little distracted, and didn't care about what Qi Yuan said just now. Hearing this, I couldn't help but be stunned, "Huh? ”
"If I hadn't insisted on dragging you to drink something, you wouldn't have gotten drunk and caused those things." Qi Yuanwu said with annoyance.
Only then did Gong Yanshan understand that Qi Yuan was talking about a few months ago. She had long forgotten about this matter, but she didn't want Qi Yuan to still remember it and bring it up again.
"I'll take care of it." Suddenly, Qi Yuan looked at Gong Yanshan solemnly and said.
"Huh?!" Gong Yanshan was completely shocked.
Later, when Qi Rin came back, he brought a message to Shen Huai.
"Qi Yuan is going to the palace family to propose?!" Not only Qi Rin, but also Shen Huai was stunned.
The news came too suddenly.
Qi Zeyan was sitting opposite the two of them eating with a small spoon, when he suddenly heard Shen Huai shouting, and couldn't help but look up.
"Propose?" Qi Zeyan repeated Shen Huai's words suspiciously.
What does the word mean, and why no one has taught him.
Qi Rin walked over, served a small bowl of soup to Qi Zeyan, and took a handkerchief to wipe the rice grains on his mouth for him.
As soon as Qi Zeyan saw the soup in the small bowl, he obediently lowered his head and continued to eat.
Qi Rin sat back next to Shen Huai and talked to her about what he had seen and heard in the imperial study today.
"Not long after Qi Yuan mentioned this, General Gong also came in?" Shen Huai's expression at the moment was very exciting, but she guessed that Qi Yuan's expression at that time should be even more exciting than hers.
Qi Rin continued unfazed: "Then the Father Emperor took the opportunity to let Qi Yuan discuss this matter with General Gong himself. ”
Shen Huai couldn't help but feel silent for Qi Yuan at this moment, she was silent for a second or two and then asked, "Is Qi Yuan okay now?" ”
Qi Rin peeled the shrimp and replied, "I don't know, I only know that he was taken away by General Gong and hasn't come back yet." ”
"......" Shen Huai.
She couldn't help but mourn for Qi Yuan for a few seconds, hoping that General Gong would let him come back completely for the sake of Qi Yuan being the prince of the country.
Qi Rin put the peeled shrimp into Shen Huai's bowl and motioned for her to eat quickly and stop mentioning other men's affairs.
"Shrimp shrimp, shrimp shrimp. Brother, shrimp shrimp. Qi Zeyan, who was sitting opposite, captured this scene, grabbed chopsticks and began to mumble.
When Shen Huai just wanted to sandwich the shrimp in his bowl into Qi Zeyan's bowl, he was stopped by Qi Rin.
He took one with his chopsticks and continued to peel it off.
After getting a shrimp of his own, Qi Zeyan continued to eat with satisfaction.
Shu'er and Bu Shao, who wanted to come forward to serve, glanced at each other and quietly retreated.
This plate of shrimp ended up in the stomachs of Shen Huai and Qi Zeyan.
After Qi Zeyan finished dinner, he climbed out of his chair and ran out as usual.
Shen Huai knew that he was going to play with his rabbit, and he didn't stop him.
"Today I received a letter from Yi Yan." Shen Huai picked up the handkerchief and wiped the oil stains on Qi Rin's hands.
Qi Rin tilted his head to look at her.
"After the death of the first emperor, except for me, the rest of the heirs were driven to the fiefdom by Yi Yan. Now there is no one in place. Shen Huai said softly while wiping the oil stains on Qi Rin's hands.
"She wants you to go back?" Qi Rin's words couldn't help but carry a little coldness.
In fact, except for those princes, there is no one in the Xiliang Sect. They are all some cockfighting lackeys, relying on the shadow of their ancestors to get by.
Shen Huai looked up at Qi Rin when he heard this, and sure enough, he saw his nervous appearance.
"How could it be ......" Shen Huai smiled and said, "It's just ...... Chatted a few words. ”
It's just that Yi Yan's words reveal that he wants to hand over Xiliang to her or Qi Rin's hands. Because she also understands Xiliang's situation, not to mention that she passed on the throne to those princes and grandchildren, can they easily let her go of her who is plotting to usurp the throne. Even those lewd children, she didn't worry about handing over Xiliang to them.
She didn't want her years in power to go to waste.
"What are you thinking?" Wei Qing chuckled and walked to her side.
Yi Yan was fascinated by things and didn't notice when Wei Qing came to her side.
"It's nothing ......," Yi Yan subconsciously didn't want to say anything.
For so many years, no matter how big the matter is, she is used to burying it in her heart and digesting it alone.
Wei Qingchao raised her eyebrows and smiled, picked up a cup of brewed tea and sent it to her, "I'm still thinking about this storage position." ”
Wei Qing knew Yi Yan, even if she didn't tell herself, he could easily guess what she was thinking.
Yi Yan took the teacup, and there was no opening by default.
"Xiliang really doesn't have a satisfactory heir, so it's no wonder that you want to let Ahuai's girl take over." Regarding the matter of the storage position, Wei Qing saw it clearly, and knew that none of the remaining heirs of the first emperor could bear the burden. Xiliang was delivered to them as if it were destroyed.
Yi Yan took a sip of tea from the teacup and did not respond.
But whether it was Shen Huai or Qi Rin, neither of them wanted it.
Wei Qing looked at the tangled look unconsciously revealed in Yi Yan's eyes, and chuckled: "I think we can all continue to stay in this position for a long time, and this matter may not be without a turnaround." ”
Yi Yan looked up at him.
Eight years later
A small fluffy head was peering out the temple door, as if hesitating whether to take the step.
Before Qi Yuezhi could hesitate, a white and tender hand stretched out from behind her and put it on her shoulder.
Qi Yuezhi's expression was solemn, and he clasped that hand with his backhand.
"It's me." There was a helpless sigh behind him.
Qi Yuezhi suddenly let go of her hand and looked back, only to see Qi Zeyan standing behind her. One of his hands was still clasped in her own hand.
"Brother Zeyan." Qi Yuezhi's smiling eyes narrowed, very similar to Shen Huai.
"So early, where are you going?" Qi Zeyan bent down to look at her.
A tangled look flashed on Qi Yuezhi's face, "It's nothing, I just want to go out and see the imperial garden in the early morning." ”
Qi Zeyan was five years older than her, so how could she not know what she was thinking, and said with a smile at the moment, "Did you make Qi Rong angry again?" ”
Qi Yuezhi twisted his little face to the side, not really wanting to continue the topic with him.
Qi Rong is her brother, and he is only a few minutes older than her.
