"How can it! Qing Huan is the queen of Zhaoyue, and you are the prince of Zhaoling, not to mention this experience, Qing Huan is already married, how can I be with you... No, it's absolutely not going to work! ”

"But even if you let Qing Huan out of the palace, will Qi Yan let her go?" Song Ziyao asked rhetorically.

Silent.

Song Ziyao's heart was slightly relieved, he knew that Shen Qinghuan was Shen Shijun's favorite little daughter, and when he said this, Shen Shijun would not only not doubt him, but would also be loyal to Qi Yan, and might even help him...

Song Ziyao continued: "I know that the prime minister is loyal to the emperor, so I will never dare to ask the prime minister to do anything. But Qinghuan..."Speaking of this, he paused and sighed, looking extremely helpless.

"But how can I trust you?"

"Trust me, it's hard, I know. Maybe only time will tell...... But can the prime minister know that he was drafted some time ago? ”

"Hmm." Shen Shijun responded, now that I think about it, it should be that Shen Qinghuan was disheartened after knowing about Jin Hai, so it happened with the draft, "These things, in fact, there is no need for her to know... It's just adding to the troubles......"

"But who wants Qing Huan to be deceived by such a man in the dark for the rest of his life? Qi Yan may be a good emperor, but he is by no means a good husband. All I want to do is take Shen Qinghuan away from him... Maybe it's my wishful thinking and it's too risky. ”

Shen Shijun turned around, glanced at Song Ziyao deeply, and said, "Actually, if you can choose, you are not the prince of Zhaoling, I would prefer Qinghuan to marry you." At least, you are willing to be honest with each other, and you will not be like the emperor, with a group of wives and concubines. It's just a boat... Recently, I will go into the palace and ask her if she is willing to leave the palace. After that, he compiled a series towards Song Ziyao and said, "Thank you for telling me together." ”

Song Ziyao also returned the salute and said, "The prime minister is polite." ”

......

A month later.

Liu's Yaoqin was deeply favored by Qi Yan, and he was awarded Zhaoyi and the title "Ying", which was in the limelight for a while. However, Fu Yuling, the virtuous concubine who originally thought that she would be extremely favored, did not win much of the emperor's favor. As for Chenghuan Palace, Qi Yan only came a few times, and for a while he returned to the deserted situation of the year.

Shen Qinghuan didn't know, when Qi Yan went to those women's palaces, would he find all kinds of reasons to shirk like when he went to Concubine Rong's palace before, or would he simply show mercy to everyone?

However, yesterday Fu Yuling came again, and said that this Ying Zhaoyi is now in full swing, so there is no way to cure it?

There are only two ways to govern and govern, one is to compete for favor, and the other is to use her identity to give her a dismount, so that she will not dare to be so rampant in the future. And Concubine Xian is only in the concubine position, it stands to reason that she is not qualified to teach Liu Yaoqin, who is in the position of Zhaoyi, if she wants to come forward in this matter, she must be Shen Qinghuan.

Shen Qinghuan asked rhetorically: "Then why don't you look for a way to compete for favor?" I see that the emperor was very interested in you at that time, I don't know why he is cold now, and his grace is not as good as that Liu Yaoqin? ”

Unexpectedly, Fu Yuling just smiled and said: "If in this harem, whoever is beautiful can get the emperor's favor, then there should be no one to compete with the queen's mother, I'm afraid that the queen's mother will be endlessly favored throughout her life." ”

When Shen Qinghuan heard such a compliment, he didn't have much expression on his face, and just said lightly: "It seems that you want me to go to Ying Zhaoyi?" ”

"The queen's daughter, why do it yourself?"

Shen Qinghuan looked at her.

"In the harem now, apart from Ying Zhaoyi, who is the most favored?"

Shen Qinghuan paused and said, "What do you mean, let Ye Zhaoyi?" ”

"In fact, on the day of the draft, the queen mother had the intention of befriending Ye Zhaoyi, didn't she?" Fu Yuling said with a smile. "People go to high places, and water flows low places. If it was Ye Ruyu who was favored in the past two months, she must have been ranked as the fourth concubine today, right? Now he can only sit on an equal footing with Liu Yaoqin, who will be willing?"

Shen Qinghuan said: "Ye Ruyu has no intention of competing for favor, can't you see it?" ”

"This, mother, don't worry, the concubine will naturally let the two fight."

Shen Qinghuan was silent, and finally said: "You can do these things, and you don't have to ask me again in the future, just promise me not to hurt the innocent by mistake." ”

When Fu Yuling heard this, her eyebrows raised slightly, and a smile rose to the corner of her mouth, and she said, "Yes, Queen Mother." ”

On the other side, inside the Golden Cloud Palace.

"You mean, Concubine Xian went to Chenghuan Hall again today?" Qi Yan's voice.

Yun'er nodded yes.

"What did you say?"

Yun'er shook her head and said, "Since Niangniang came back from Zhaoling, after the ink fragrance is gone, the slaves and maids are not as kind as before, and they are not summoned on weekdays. Especially when Concubine Xian came, even the red-sleeved sister could only wait at the door. Not to mention anyone else. ”

Qi Yan frowned slightly, wondering if she was talking to herself: "She doesn't know what she wants to do lately, how..."

Yun'er looked at Qi Yan and said, "Forgive the slave for saying a lot." In the past, when the emperor went to Rong Fei, he had to do it as a last resort. It is not your wish to snub the queen. Now that everything has rained and sunny, why are you still angry with the queen? In the eyes of the slaves, the queen loves you very much..."

Seeing that Qi Yan's expression was a little cold, Yun'er stopped talking and said, "Please forgive the emperor, it's the slave who has said a lot." ”

Unexpectedly, Qi Yan just spoke slowly and said, "I also thought that she loved me very much." But maybe it's all wishful thinking on my part, she seems to be tired of harem life. ”

"But the emperor can't let go of his mother at all."

Qi Yan was silent and said, "I will go to Chenghuan Hall to see her tonight." ”

At night, Shen Qinghuan finished reading the poetry collection and was about to go to bed early, when he heard someone outside report: "The emperor has arrived." ”

She sat up from the bed, and before she could straighten her slightly messy clothes and hair, she saw Qi Yan walk in. It's not like the gloomy face and softened like a few days ago, but it is a little similar to the previous in Zhaoling.

"See the emperor, no one said anything in advance about how to come over today." Shen Qinghuan got up and said casually as if he was talking about homely things, if others didn't know, they would still think that this was a loving couple, but only Qi Yan could see that Shen Qinghuan's eyes were full of alienation, even more alienated than a year ago.

"If I had said it in advance, I'm afraid you would have gone to bed early. Now, I can only hear the red sleeves say, 'The queen has slept'. Qi Yan didn't know if it was self-deprecation, but he laughed.

Shen Qinghuan was a little embarrassed, Qi Yan was right, if he had reported in advance, she might really have said that she had rested now.

"How so." Shen Qinghuan said, "Since the emperor is here, let's sit down and drink tea." ”

Qi Yan raised his eyebrows slightly, nodded and said, "That's not bad." ”

Shen Qinghuan poured the tea, respectfully handed it to Qi Yan, and said, "Your Majesty, please use tea." ”

Qi Yan smelled the fragrance of tea early, it was a fresh and cold smell, and he thought it smelled good. When the teacup was brought to the eyes, I saw that the tea color was light, but the tea fragrance was tangy, which was really novel. When it is sent to the mouth, I feel that I have mixed feelings, and the fragrance of tea flows between my lips and teeth, and it does not go away for a long time.

"I only remember that you made wine well, but I didn't know that you are so proficient in the tea ceremony now?" Qi Yan couldn't help but praise.

Shen Qinghuan smiled and said, "This tea is not made by concubines, but Ye Zhaoyi." The concubine's wine brewing was so-so, and she made it up by herself, but Ye Zhaoyi had learned it specially. The concubine went to Ye Zhaoyi to ask for a way to make tea for a long time, and asked her to take some tea leaves that she brought to her hand, so that she had this bowl of tea in front of the emperor. ”

Some of the smiles that still remained on Qi Yan's face had faded most of them now, but he still said strongly: "Really? Ye Zhaoyi is indeed wise, and I will reward her well. ”

"That'll be fine." Shen Qinghuan said. After a while, she really didn't know what to say, and she didn't want Qi Yan to stay with her, so she had to ask tentatively: "Your Majesty, the concubine is unwell tonight, why don't you go to Ye Zhaoyi?" ”

"Not feeling well?" Qi Yan raised his voice coldly and said, "Do you want to Xuan Taiyi?" ”

Shen Qinghuan's face turned a little pale, and said, "No need..."

"Then drive me away?" Qi Yan snorted, "Queen, in these six palaces, you are really the only one who is trying to find a way to drive me away every day." ”

"How dare a concubine?" That being said, Qing Huan's voice was also cold. Anyway, they had already drunk and confronted each other, and Qing Huan was not afraid to talk to him like this.

Qi Yan sighed, held Shen Qinghuan's hand, and said, "What are you angry about?" Fu Yuling? But I heard that Concubine Xian often comes to your dormitory. Other than that, I really don't know..."

Shen Qinghuan frowned slightly, withdrew his hand, and said lightly: "Of course the emperor doesn't know. The emperor's ninety-five supreme will not remember these little things. ”

"Qing Huan! You know, as long as you say it, I'll listen. ”

Shen Qinghuan's heart was pulled slightly, until now, he still said such things to her, did he think that she had something to use?

"Your Majesty, it's getting late. Do you want to rest at the Chenghuan Palace? She said lightly.

Seeing that she was still like this, Qi Yan was completely angry, threw up his sleeves and stood up, and said, "No need, I'll stay in the Inviting Star Pavilion tonight." ”

Shen Qinghuan also stood up and saluted: "Congratulations to the emperor." ”

But as soon as Qi Yan left, she collapsed on the chair, feeling a little weak, and it seemed that she felt heartache again. She looked in the direction Qi Yan left and didn't speak for a long time.

On the second day, it spread all over the palace, saying that the emperor drank a lot of wine yesterday and went to Ye Zhaoyi's palace, but he didn't come out all night. When these words reached the ears of the red sleeves, her face was a little unsightly.
