"Master, if this seller doesn't show up, then what should we do?"

Zhao Ping couldn't help but imagine this possibility, and there was a little eagerness in his tone.

"It doesn't matter."

Murong Cheng'an was calm, and the more time passed, the more relaxed his expression became.

There's a reason he's not in a hurry. Because, regardless of whether the seller appears or not, they will not gain nothing from this trip.

If the seller does not appear, it can only show one possibility - among the people present, there is no buyer that the seller wants to see, and there must be another hidden reason in this!

The time gradually passed, and until the time of the application, there was still no figure of the seller.

This group of people was released by the seller like this!

Eventually, the people at the cliff lost their patience and returned the way they came.

"This seller can't take out the fruit of the Amazing Divine Tree at all, right?!"

"That's right, I've been waiting for so long in vain! There is no hair! ”

"So what the hell is this seller doing...... What's in it for him to play with us? ”

"Hell knows!"

……

Murong Chengan didn't think that this seller was completely out of nothing, in his opinion, today's seller did not deliberately release pigeons, but secretly observed everyone present, and found that there was no buyer he was expecting, so he chose not to appear at all.

However, Murong Chengan couldn't guess who the buyer this seller was looking forward to, who was sacred?

This transaction for the Fruit of the Divine Tree of Astounding Strength ended inexplicably.

In the following period, the news about the fruit of the Divine Tree of Astounding gradually cooled down, because most people regarded this mysterious seller as a liar, and no longer expected any new developments in this matter.

……

In a cave halfway up Phoenix Peak.

Xingchen has been waiting here for orders, and can only play with the small animals in the mountains all day, which is very boring.

On this day, Yun Luosheng finally appeared again.

"Xingchen, you can go to the Imperial Palace of Shengning Kingdom to find Xi'er. Remember, you must guide her and send troops to attack Jun Anguo as soon as possible. ”

"Now, the time and place are favorable, even if Tianhe Country does not send troops to support Shengning Kingdom, it will definitely not stand on the side of Jun'an Kingdom, Shengning Kingdom will send troops at this time, and Jun'an Kingdom will be defeated!"

"Also, tell Xi'er how you were robbed of the fruit of the Divine Tree of Shocking Power."

Yun Luosheng commanded coldly, there was hardly the slightest emotion in her tone, and only when she said that she sent troops to attack Jun Anguo, she could vaguely hear her hidden hatred.

"Yes, my subordinates obey."

Xingchen exhaled heavily. It's great to finally see the light of day again. The most important thing is that it has been so long since she said goodbye last time, and she also misses Ye Lingxi very much.

This time, Xingchen resumed her women's clothes and changed her body shape again, except for one face, she no longer looked like a eunuch in the palace of Jun'an Kingdom.

However, Xingchen's way to find Ye Lingxi was not smooth.

When Xingchen asked to see the empress outside the palace of Shengning Kingdom, he was ruthlessly persuaded by the guards at the palace gate to retreat.

The empress is not just anyone who wants to ask to see her, if everyone comes to ask to see the empress, then the guards at the palace gate will be too busy.

"Hurry up and stay where it's cool! Where can you see the Empress! ”

"I am really the queen's former servant, please ask the eldest brother of the officers and soldiers to help me bring a word, the queen will definitely see me!"

"! Don't make trouble, Lao Tzu still has to stand guard on duty, if you are entangled here again, you will not blame Lao Tzu for being polite! ”

The guards at the gate of the palace didn't want to pay attention to Xingchen at all, if it weren't for her fair appearance and poor appearance of a weak woman, I'm afraid those guards would have already started to drive people out.

Xingchen reluctantly retreated to a place a little farther away from the palace gate, so she was afraid that she could only wait at the palace gate and wait for Ye Lingxi to leave the palace in person when she was in a good mood.

Coincidentally, Ye Lingxi happened to be in the palace thinking about leaving the palace.

It turns out that the annual Lantern Festival of Shengning Kingdom is coming.

The so-called Lantern Festival is that the imperial court hangs all kinds of lanterns on the side of the moat, and the people also hang lanterns in front of their homes.

Among the lanterns hung in the imperial court, some of them have lantern riddles, and those who successfully solve the riddles can go to the yamen to receive a reward, usually some daily necessities such as rice noodles or cloth, which are not many in quantity and not high in value, just to ask for a lottery.

It is said that this is a festival that has been passed down since the founding of the country, and it has the meaning of praying for the blessing of the country.

The Lantern Festival is a festival unique to the Kingdom of Shengning, and there has never been such a festival in the Kingdom of Heaven and the Kingdom of Jun'an.

Originally, the Lantern Festival was only dedicated to praying for the blessings of the country. Later, as time went on, the Lantern Festival gradually took on more meanings, and the most widely recognized was the blind date festival for young men and women.

On the day of the Lantern Festival, the city is filled with lanterns, so even the night is as bright as day, and there are many people on the streets, men and women, young and old, wandering the streets.

Unmarried boys and girls guess lantern riddles together, or admire the moon together, and it is inevitable that there will be sparks from each other.

For ordinary people, if it is two people who are the right person, then they can basically tie the knot after the Lantern Festival.

For the official family and even the royal children, although the marriage is not decided by themselves, or even their own family, as long as it is not too closely related to political interests, the imperial court will generally try to meet the preferences of young men and women and try to give them marriage.

This is almost equivalent to modern free love!

When Ye Lingxi learned that Sheng Ningguo was so open-minded in marriage, he was even more looking forward to the Lantern Festival and was overjoyed.

The matter of Xiaolian and Zhao Ping, Ye Lingxi has always taken it to heart.

In Ye Lingxi's opinion, Zhao Ping clearly likes Xiaolian, but he doesn't know what he's awkward, and always deliberately avoids Xiaolian.

Now that it is just in time for the Lantern Festival, Ye Lingxi decided that he must help Xiaolian and win Zhao Ping in one fell swoop at the Lantern Festival!

In order to implement the plan smoothly, Ye Lingxi planned to arrange the lanterns in advance, and in this matter, she just wanted to act alone with Xiaolian, and didn't want Murong Chengan to know their specific practices, so she needed to go out of the palace alone with Xiaolian.

Regarding Ye Lingxi's concern about the relationship between Xiaolian and Zhao Ping, Murong Chengan was noncommittal, he never got involved in the affairs of his subordinates, but he also did not object to Ye Lingxi getting involved.

It's just that Murong Chengan has paid special attention to Ye Lingxi's safety recently, for fear that she will accidentally hurt the fetus in her womb.

Although Ye Lingxi has repeatedly assured that she knows her physical condition best, the second trimester is very stable, and moderate exercise is no problem, not to mention just leaving the palace and walking.

However, Murong Chengan was still not worried about Ye Lingxi's action out of the palace, his bottom line was that if Ye Lingxi left the palace, he must accompany him.

"Xiaolian, tomorrow I will find an excuse to support Murong Cheng'an, and then the two of us will secretly go out of the palace."

Taking advantage of the gap when Murong Chengan and Zhao Ping were not around, Ye Lingxi pulled Xiaolian into the dormitory and secretly explained.

At the beginning, Xiaolian did not agree with Ye Lingxi secretly leaving the palace without hiding from Murong Chengan, in Xiaolian's heart, Ye Lingxi was the person she protected with her life, but Murong Chengan was her master!

"Xiaolian, if you don't listen to me, I'll be angry! You also know that this pregnant person is most afraid of depression in the chest, which is detrimental to the development of the fetus...... So, huh? ”

"Your Majesty, don't be angry, Xiaolian will listen to you!"

"Humph!"

Ye Lingxi raised her head arrogantly, she had a good way to pinch Xiaolian and make Xiaolian obedient.

……

In the early morning of the second day, Ye Lingxi didn't get up for a long time, it was almost time for the morning dynasty, but she just lay on the bed and didn't move, squinting her eyes slightly and dozing off.

"Xi'er...... It's time to get up, you are now the emperor of a country, and there are still so many things waiting for you to deal with. ”

Murong Cheng'an propped up his upper body, gently took the broken hair in front of Ye Lingxi's face aside, and lowered his head and kissed her forehead lightly.

"Don't ...... I'm so sleepy...... Let's strike today! ”

Ye Lingxi rolled on the bed like a coquettish, and her cute appearance made Murong Cheng smile uncontrollably.

Although it is not impossible to strike the dynasty, however, this is not what a qualified emperor should do, Ye Lingxi has just succeeded to the throne, so it is better not to do this.

Therefore, Murong Chengan continued to coax Ye Lingxi, and even tickled her.

"Hiccup! You hate it! ”

"Hurry up, good ......"

"Then you're going to help me deal with it today!"

"No problem, listen to the lady!"

"Take care of it all for me! Hee-hee! I'm coming back to catch up on sleep, and I don't want to work today. ”

It wasn't until Murong Chengan nodded helplessly that Ye Lingxi sat up with a smile, straightened her arms and let Murong Chengan change her clothes.

Now, Murong Cheng'an, the "queen", is very competent, serving the empress with all her heart, and also working part-time as a strategist, giving advice and handling political affairs for the empress.

Ye Lingxi was happy to be idle, except for controlling the general policy of governing the country, all other affairs were handed over to Murong Cheng'an.

After washing up, Ye Lingxi yawned and walked towards the court, and after attending the morning court briefly, he quickly returned to the dormitory, and at the same time, he also brought back a large stack of folds for Murong Cheng'an.

"Oh~ Xiao An'an, I'll leave these to you! I'm going to catch up on sleep, you can review the folds well, don't disturb my sleep! ”

Ye Lingxi slammed the door shut and shut Murong Cheng'an and a stack of music folds out of the door.

Murong Chengan chuckled helplessly, turned around and walked towards the imperial study, and didn't see anything wrong with Ye Lingxi.

After confirming that Murong Cheng'an was convinced that he had gone to the imperial study to "work hard", Ye Lingxi changed the sleepy state he had just pretended, and instead called Xiaolian very energetically.

"Xiaolian, I have tricked Xiao An'an into going to the imperial study to deal with the twists! Let's hurry up and leave the palace immediately to do big things! ”

Ye Lingxi quickly took off the empress's cumbersome clothes with her hands and feet, and changed into the light clothes she had prepared early in the morning, she deliberately chose looser clothes, just enough to cover her slightly pregnant abdomen, so that people could not see that she was pregnant.

"That's right, hurry, Xiaolian, help me change my appearance, we can't be found out our true identities!"

Xiaolian was still a little hesitant, her face was entangled, and she slowly walked towards Ye Lingxi, who was in a panic.

"Your Majesty, we don't tell the master, let's go out of the palace secretly, is it really good......"

"Ahh Xiaolian, don't worry! We are transfigured! No one else knows us. Besides, with the martial arts of both of us, as well as my poison skills, no one can hurt us, ah, no problem! ”

Ye Lingxi patted his chest again and again to assure, and finally made Xiaolian grit her teeth and decide to believe Ye Lingxi.

Then, the two dressed up in disguise, and then, sneakily sneaked out of the queen's dormitory and slipped out of the palace.

Everything is unnoticed......
