Chapter 371: The Empress's Secrets
Ye Jingning also entered the palace with the Ye family, and with all the women, he greeted Ye Qingyan for the New Year.
Because Ye knew that Ye Jingning was dissatisfied with Ye Qingyan, and even had resentment in his heart, he kept staring at her, afraid that she would make trouble for her during the New Year. Originally, she didn't want to bring her here, but the two ladies of Ouyang Mansion said that they wanted to meet her, and this New Year's greeting was a good opportunity, and after repeated advice, they brought her over.
When they entered the palace, they met at the gate of the palace and the two wives of Ouyang Mansion.
Ye Jingning's appearance, the Ye family is very confident, and the entire capital can't pick out a few who can be compared with Ye Jingning. And the identity is the queen's cousin, the only unmarried concubine in Ye Mansion, and there is no problem in terms of conditions. Ouyang Mansion can't find a more expensive and famous lady of the right age than Ye Jingning.
This time, we were naturally very satisfied with each other. The two wives of Ouyang Mansion immediately became much closer to the Ye family, and they would talk together from time to time.
Ye Jingning took advantage of the lively conversation between Ye and Old Madam Ouyang, and quietly left the tea banquet hall.
Walking along the corridor of Kunyuan Palace, looking at the festive Kunyuan Palace with red stickers everywhere, she came in here for the first time, and last time she knelt at the gate of Kunyuan Palace for a day, she couldn't come in.
Walking and walking, I arrived at the palace gate leading to the front hall of Kunyuan Palace.
Two janissaries stood by and stopped her.
Ye Jingning knew that after passing through this palace gate, it was the front hall for His Majesty to deal with state affairs.
The eldest brother came to the palace early in the morning and accompanied His Majesty to the Temple of Heaven and Earth to pay homage, but it is still early in the morning, and he should not have come back yet. But if you come back, you should be ...... Let's go to Changle Palace to see the Queen Mother first. My heart couldn't help but throb.
After bowing to the two guards, Ye Jingning left.
Changle Palace is not far from Kunyuan Palace, and it will take a while to arrive. And there is a Changle Garden next to Changle Palace, which was originally only enjoyed by the Queen Mother, but later let go, and the same as the Imperial Garden, regardless of people, just go in and enjoy it.
In Changle Garden, there are several fire dancing flower trees, which are very rare and rare, and the perennial trees are full of fiery red leaves, which are long and prosperous, just like a fiery red flower, extremely beautiful.
Ye Jingning had seen it a few times, and at that time her heart was full of longing for that person, but now when she saw it again, she only sighed.
I picked a flaming red flower tree leaf, put it against the tip of my nose and sniffed it lightly, and a spicy aroma unique to the fire dance penetrated into my nose.
I couldn't hold back for a moment and sneezed.
"Who!" A deep voice sounded.
When Ye Jingning heard this voice, his whole body suddenly froze.
Slowly turn around......
In her memory, the figure that had actually begun to gradually become blurred, at this moment, was imprinted in her eyes and even her soul like an imprint.
The crown of the dark five-clawed golden dragon is as handsome as the Emperor of Heaven, and majestic and noble.
The body involuntarily knelt down, "Courtier Ye Jingning, knock to see Your Majesty, long live Your Majesty, long live Long live." ”
Xiao Changqi was because the Queen Mother liked Fire Dance Flowers, so she came over to break a branch, but she didn't expect to meet Ye Jingning here.
Ye Qingyan was always eyeing this cousin of hers, as if he would accept this woman.
"Look up." He was a little curious, what it was like, and she cared so much.
Ye Jingning slowly raised his head, revealing a delicate face like a flower and a moon, especially those eyes, which were full of infatuation with him at the moment, and the two tears could not be dropped, which was extremely moving. Not to mention men, even women can't help but soften their hearts when they see it, and they want to pity and comfort her.
Xiao Changqi looked at her face and understood why Ye Qingyan cared, "Let's get up." ”
"Thank you, Your Majesty." Ye Jingning hired Tingting to stand up, and her posture was probably the most charming and dignified time in her life.
"I remember, you seem to be very good at drawing?"
"Back to Your Majesty, the courtiers have learned to paint since they were young, and they still have some self-confidence."
"Well, the tea party should be over soon, let's go back." Xiao Changqi broke a fire dance and turned to leave.
Ye Jingning fluttered again, "The courtiers send your majesty." ”
His eyes kept glued to Xiao Changqi's back until he was almost out of sight, Ye Jingning suddenly spoke, "Your Majesty, the courtiers have the queen's secret to tell you!" ”
Xiao Changqi's footsteps stopped......
*********
Ye Qingyan sent away all the internal and external women, and went directly into the dormitory, she wanted to sleep well.
Especially the whole night of vigilance, it is too tiring.
She is a pregnant woman, and the child she may be carrying is different from that of ordinary pregnant women, but the feelings should be the same.
On the couch, I saw Yuebao curled up into a hair ball at the foot of the couch, and grabbed it, "Come, the first baby to sleep in the new year is you." ”
Yuebao 'meow-' screamed, enjoying Ye Qingyan's embrace very much.
One person and one cat, quickly fell asleep.
Xiao Changqi came to the dormitory. Yuebao was very afraid of him, so after noticing that he was coming back, he immediately broke free from Ye Qingyan's arms and ran away quickly.
And Ye Qingyan, who was sleeping, naturally didn't know anything.
Xiao Changqi stood on the edge of the couch and looked at her, and after a long time, he helped her tuck the quilt and left.
Xiao Changqi did not go to the front hall of Kunyuan Palace, but returned to Xuande Hall to be busy with state affairs. Although the dynasty has been suspended, there are still mountains of concerts waiting to be reviewed.
Ren Ran entered the palace, carrying two jars of spirits in his hands.
The usual simple shirt and plain robe, the Chinese New Year failed to make him change. I have never seen a thin and slender body with long meat, and he looks weak, but he has the cultivation of the heavenly realm, and he is definitely a ruthless character who pretends to be a pig and eats a tiger.
Gong Cheng saw Ren Ran coming, and finally put the heart that had been in his throat all night back into his stomach.
"Prime Minister, New Year's Blessing and Longevity."
"Thank you, so is the palace manager. What happened to the one inside? ”
Ren Ran looked at the Xuande Palace, which was already at night, but still did not hold the lamp, obviously there was a situation.
Gong Cheng lowered his voice extremely low and replied: "Your Majesty doesn't allow it, where do the minions dare to order." ”
"I'll take a look." Ren Ran is not afraid, and he is the only one who is not afraid of the civil and military affairs of the Manchu Dynasty.
Gong Cheng personally raised the brocade curtain embroidered with dragon patterns and pearl tassels, and the heating in the hall came to his face.
Although there is no lamp, there are four double-eared gilded bronze furnaces more than one person high in the four corners of the Xuande Palace, and the fire is in full swing, and it also illuminates the dim side of the hall.
"Prime Minister, please come in, and the slave will retire." Gong Cheng put down the brocade curtain and bowed back.
Xuande Hall is the emperor's dormitory, naturally luxurious everywhere, comparable to the floor tiles of mutton fat jade, there is a picture of thousands of miles of mountains and rivers hanging on the wall, the mountains and rivers are ups and downs, and they are shining in the dark. The red sandalwood royal case is piled up with a lot of pieces that have been processed, and the imperial pen, ink, paper, inkstone, and a corner is also placed a crystal clear emperor incense burner, the green smoke in the furnace curls, and the smell is the ambergris agarwood of two inches of gold.
Xiao Changqi sat in the throne of the dragon chair, and the dim light made it difficult to see the expression on his face.
