Chen Qian came to Yilan Hall for dinner, the last time he insulted me in front of a guard in Shuyuchi, I felt annoyed and embarrassed when I thought about it, naturally I wouldn't give him a good look, treat him as transparent air, and the atmosphere on the dinner table was so cold that it was about to freeze.

With a "snap", Chen Qian threw down his chopsticks and swept me with sharp eyes, "What a mess you made in the palace when the words you said in the jade pond spread out, I didn't pursue you, but you dared to throw my face." ”

"Your Majesty, there is no wind and no waves. You and General Han are with each other, intimate, and the palace people can see it. I think they have already guessed this, and this is why it is spreading, how can you blame me? I didn't look at him, I ate at random, laughing and gloating.

Chen Qian glared at me angrily, "What nonsense, I have always regarded my son as a brother, how can I slander you!" ”

"I don't know if Your Majesty regards General Han as a brother Qingqiang, Your Majesty just needs to understand it in your heart." I replied lightly, picking up a stick of greens and chewing on it.

"Xiao Qingqiang!" Chen Qian wanted to get angry, but he stagnated for a long time, and finally turned into a helpless sigh, "I know that you still complain about all the bad things I did to you in the past, so I deliberately said this to be angry, and I don't blame you for the rumors." Qing'er, let's let go of everything and really get along, okay? ”

Stopping the action of picking vegetables, I stared at him, but to see what he could say, Chen Qian's clear pool-like eyes fixed on my face, the water rippled, and there was a vague inexplicable feeling, and said softly: "You have suffered a lot in the past, and I will double my compensation in the future, take care of you for a lifetime, and will not let you suffer at all." ”

Why does this sound so ambiguous? I raised my eyebrows playfully, "Why do you want to take care of me for the rest of my life, Your Majesty's words will really make Qingqiang misunderstand that you like me?" ”

A cheeky person like Chen Qian couldn't help but blush, but the moment he saw my mocking eyes, he turned cold, and said sarcastically: "I will like you?" You don't pretend to be sentimental, I just look at you pitiful, and I pity you without a father or mother. Just you? I can't even count with my toes! ”

I wasn't angry when I was ridiculed by him like this, and said with a light smile: "With a fairy-like wonderful person like Wan Zhaoyi, I think there will be no one in the world who can make Your Majesty look at it." ”

"Actually, I'm not ......" Chen Qian's momentum suddenly lowered, and his face stiffened and wanted to defend something, but he didn't say it after all.

"If Your Majesty really pities me for being lonely, why don't you let Qingqiang out of the palace, Qingqiang will be grateful to Your Majesty for the rest of her life."

Chen Qian's stiff face distorted, and she looked at me with a smile, indescribably cold, "Qing'er really doesn't forget to leave the palace all the time, want to leave the palace?" Don't! Want to find your sweetheart? Dream! ”

As soon as the "bang" sounded, Chen Qian even smashed the bowl, and he didn't think it was enough to get angry, so he stood up solemnly, kicked the pieces on the ground away, his face was intertwined with hatred and pain, and he walked out of the Yilan Hall angrily, and he didn't forget to stare at me with hatred before leaving.

When Li Fei and Yunxi heard the sound, they didn't know what was happening, and they panicked and packed up the porcelain pieces on the ground. If I continue to eat my food casually, he will let him be angry if he loves to be angry, anyway, it is not my body that is angry, so why affect his appetite for an irrelevant person.

Since that day Chen Qian lost his temper in the Yilan Palace, I haven't seen him again for a while. But it didn't take long for him to come to Yilan Hall from time to time to spend the night as if nothing had happened, he slept on the couch, I slept on the bed, and occasionally he would ask me to read to him, and the days passed peacefully.

It has entered the late autumn, the Hehuan Hall is still green, without losing the bright color, the Acacia tree in the courtyard is lush and green like jade, the leaf shadow is uneven, the fine leaves are slender and green and easy to shop, the velvet leaves are clustered into a cloud cover, swaying in the wind. The green pothos vines are decorated in the rockery, the blue flowers are densely intertwined, and the green light flows more and more to look the green of the Hehuan Palace, which is elegant and elegant. Although it is not as gorgeous as other palaces, it is interesting.

The decoration in the Hehuan Hall is plain and generous, only according to the specifications of the general palace concubine, and it is not luxurious, just like the graceful and elegant person, simple and elegant.

"Why does Sister Zhaohua have time to come to me today?" Wan Zhaoyi said with a smile.

"I'm bored staying in Yilan Hall all day, so I want to talk to my sister, Sister Wan don't dislike me." I joked to her with a smile.

"Why, it's too late for someone to be happy with me." Wan Zhaoyi ordered someone to bring me a cup of tea and said, "This is a new tea, sister try it." ”

I picked up the teacup, took a sip, and asked, "What kind of tea is this, it's so fragrant." ”

Wan Zhaoyi replied: "It's Lushan Cloud Tea." ”

When I heard it, I said: "Lushan Yunwu tea, the color is emerald green, fragrant like an orchid, mellow and fresh, but it is a rare good tea." It must have been given to my sister by His Majesty, which shows His Majesty's love for my sister. ”

"Maybe it used to be, but now it's different." Wan Zhaoyi's words seemed to have a wisp of indifferent sadness, and her eyebrows frowned slightly.

It stands to reason that Wan Zhaoyi is Zhou Guo's meticulous work, Chen Qian's favor is her guarantee for stealing information, she should do everything to keep Chen Qian's favor and gain a firm foothold in the harem, even if she doesn't love Chen Qian, she should be wary and vigilant against the appearance of me, a "love rival", but I have never seen her compete for favor or jealousy, and she doesn't care about it at all. Perhaps, with her intelligence, she guessed early on that Chen Qian's love for me was just an illusion, a means for Chen Qian to protect her, so she was able to be so calm?

"Sister thinks too much, Your Majesty's love for your sister is the same as ever, in this palace, no one can replace your sister's place in Your Majesty's heart." I deliberately tested her, and said slowly, "Your Majesty snubbed my sister in order to protect my sister, and even Your Majesty's favor for me is also to protect my sister." With my sister's intelligence, it shouldn't be difficult to guess, right? ”

Sure enough, Wan Zhaoyi was not a little surprised or surprised, but her lips squirmed to explain something, I stopped her, and said first: "Sister doesn't need to explain anything, and there is no need to feel guilty, because I don't care who Your Majesty loves or hates at all, and I won't feel a little sad because of this." I believe that my sister is the same as me, so she can handle it so safely, right? ”

When I said this, a trace of surprise flew through Wan Zhaoyi's eyes, and just as she wanted to say something, the voice of the maid came from the hall, "Niangniang, you have found a few piano scores that you told Si Lesi to find." ”

The palace maid of the Hehuan Hall led the palace maid of the Si Le Si to walk in slowly, and the palace maid of the Si Le Si held a tray in her hand, covered it with silk yarn, and presented it to Wan Zhaoyi for seeing.

Wan Zhaoyi is good at music, and it is not surprising to study a few piano scores, but it is strange that when Wan Zhaoyi lifted the silk veil, in an instant, a handkerchief also slipped off and fell to the ground.

I reached out to pick it up, and when I spread out the handkerchief, I saw that there was a picture of a rowing boat picking rhombus embroidered on the blue and white silk. Two women in light cyan clothes are in the middle of the Lingchi, boating with their bare hands. The upper left corner of the handkerchief is vaguely embroidered with a line of words: The wind shakes the blue boat, and the old people come to meet.

I handed the handkerchief to Wan Zhaoyi, "Sister, look, this handkerchief is so beautifully embroidered." ”

I turned to the lady of the music department and asked, "What's going on, how can there be a handkerchief in the score?" ”

Wan Zhaoyi looked at it carefully for a while and asked, "Who is this handkerchief, and why does it appear in the score?" ”

The palace maid also looked confused, "The slave doesn't know how this handkerchief can appear here?" After thinking for a while, the palace maid suddenly said, "The maidservant remembered that one of the piano scores was compiled by a sister of Si Yisi, and it may have been accidentally dropped when she was sorting them out." ”

After that, the palace maid knelt down and pleaded guilty, "It's the slave and maid who are negligent, please punish the mother." ”

"Get up." Wan Zhaoyi was lenient, "It's not your fault for this." ”

"What's the name of your sister?"

"Her name is Lan Yao, and she entered the palace with the slave maid. She just wanted to help me, and hoped that Niangniang wouldn't blame her. The palace maid still knelt and pleaded.

Wan Zhaoyi only said lightly: "Go back and tell that sister, do things seriously and carefully, don't make such a mistake again." ”

"Thank you for your forgiveness."

When I came out of the Hehuan Palace, I remembered the words embroidered on the handkerchief, and I raised my lips slightly, it seems that this time I came to the Hehuan Hall without gains.

When I came back, I asked Li Fei to help me pay attention to Wan Zhaoyi's movements. Although Li Fei was puzzled, she still did it. A few days later, Li Fei told me that Wan Zhaoyi had passed on a palace maid from the Si Yi Division to tailor clothes, and it was estimated that she had been neglected for a long time, so she wanted to cut some beautiful clothes and wear them on her body to attract the emperor's attention. As for the palace maid of the Si Yi Division, her name is Lan Yao-

Listening to the situation reported by Li Fei, I smiled lightly, Wan Zhaoyi is not the kind of person who is favored by sex.

I specially summoned the palace maid named Lan Yao over and ordered her to cut clothes for me. This palace maid was polite and respectful when she faced me, but her eyes were wandering from time to time, a little restless, I am afraid that it is not as simple as it seems.

I heard good news from the front: Chen and Zhou were at war, the Chen army defeated the Zhou army at the mouth of the Xijiang River in Bazhou, and the city lord of Zhou Baling abandoned his weapons and surrendered to the Chen state. Because of the victory, Chen Qian was overjoyed and decided to hold a singing and dancing banquet in the palace, and ordered the Shaofu to start this matter to celebrate the victory of the army.

Chen Qian sent Jiang Yu to pass the word, saying that he wanted me to go to the imperial study to serve the pen and ink.

I passed very reluctantly, when I passed the door of the Imperial Study Palace, I found that the leading guard in front of the door had changed his face, and he was no longer the Han Zigao I was usually familiar with, I couldn't help but wonder, Chen Qian and Han Zigao are inseparable on weekdays, Han Zigao is almost accompanied by Chen Qian to protect Chen Qian's safety, why don't you see others today?
