The man stood straight in front of her, dressed in an ink-colored robe, his face as cold as ever.

After being stunned for a few seconds, he saluted the man.

She didn't say anything like "Emperor Sheng'an".

Just said softly, "You're here".

Ying Zhan let out a faint "um" and put a hand on the woman's wrist.

But the moment the man touched her, the whole person took a few steps back.

The man's slender and powerful hand remained in mid-air with a slight embarrassment, then retracted and folded behind his back.

Deep dark eyes, staring at the woman.

I saw that the woman's face was as calm as water, not as if she was pretending to be calm, but more like her heart was like stopping water.

In her hand, she was holding a handful of cabbage, looking like a down-to-earth woman.

But the way she looked at him, and the way she moved when she avoided him just now, was full of rejection and alienation.

Ying Zhan turned her head slightly and looked at the greenhouse behind the woman, "This is the greenhouse vegetables you asked the slave to plant?" ”

From the man's words, he heard that he had long known that she was growing greenhouse vegetables on the Zhuangzi.

Also, he is the emperor, and the whole Zhuangzi is his person, wouldn't it be easy for him to ask about something?

Tilt Yan nodded, counting as a response.

Regarding the indifferent attitude of the face, Ying Zhan just looked around the courtyard.

The setting sun shines through the dead branches of the trees.

Longquan Villa has many pavilions and pavilions.

But the courtyard where the woman is located is not outstanding, and it can even be said to be a relatively ordinary small courtyard.

Now this courtyard has been renovated by her, with a circle of fence piles in front of the courtyard and greenhouses planted behind the courtyard.

Smoke rises from the chimney, giving it the feeling of a down-to-earth pastoral cottage.

Longquan Villa is located relatively high in the capital.

From here, you can see most of the scenery of the capital.

As far as the eye can see, the lights of thousands of homes in the entire capital flicker slightly.

Only this small courtyard on Longquan Villa is shrouded in twilight, without hustle and bustle, and it is incompatible with the capital.

Ying Zhan has recently heard that she grows vegetables in Zhuangzi.

Yes, he was very calm about it.

He just asked, "You had the yard changed?" ”

Qian Yan said softly, "The concubine has just lived here, and it is still just a prototype, and it is now winter, so many things cannot be planted." ”

"In the spring of next year, I will let people plant some favorite flowers and trees, and then build a swing and rocking chair in the front yard and backyard, so that Xin Tong and I can swing and play, and occasionally bask in the sun on the rocking chair."

"Then plant a circle of flowers around the fence, and plant all kinds of fashionable vegetables and colorful fruits in the backyard."

If he kept talking to her about this, she should be able to chat with him indifferently all the time, and think like this.

When the woman said this, there was a light smile on the corner of her mouth.

Ying Zhan's gaze fell on her face, and the corners of her mouth unconsciously rose.

These are two people who seem to be harmonious, but in fact they are estranged.

After about half an hour, the servant brought the meal and put it in the hall.

Five home-cooked dishes were on the table.

There are yellow stewed chicken, stir-fried bacon with garlic sprouts, stewed fish with radish, hot and sour shredded potatoes, and stir-fried cabbage.

At the dinner table, Xin Tong was also there.

During the meal, the family of three was quite harmonious.

Until Xin Tong went back to the side courtyard to wash and rest, Qian Yan and Ying Zhan sat in the hall and were relatively speechless.

For a moment, the whole hall was eerily quiet.

The air seemed to freeze, and the oppressive atmosphere tore at each other's heartbeats.

In the end, it was Ying Zhan who opened his mouth first.

The man first asked about Xin Tong's current situation, and replied truthfully.

Li Zhong on the side heard Concubine Tilt and the emperor talking, and his forehead was sweating in fright.

If the concubine and the emperor get into trouble, it will not be unusual.

The blame is that the concubine doesn't cry or make trouble, and the whole person is as calm as water.

It's no wonder that the emperor didn't change his face in the face of the indifference of the concubine.

This seems to be okay on the surface, but Li Zhong just feels that something is wrong.

He couldn't say exactly what was wrong, but it was just nothing.

Anyway, the emperor and the concubine are like two fire primers.

seems to be talking about inconsequential things, but in fact, both of them are holding their breath and holding back the fire in their hearts.

Once one side steps on the thunder, the fire in each other's bodies will burn the other and both will lose.

So he was scared, for fear that the emperor and the concubine would step on each other's thunder.

Just when Li Zhong was worried, he heard His Majesty the Emperor say to the concubine: "I will go to the army tomorrow." ”

Tilting face: "In this case, it is not early, the emperor should return to the palace as soon as possible to prepare, and Ming'er will set off for the expedition." ”

As soon as these words came out, Ying Zhan's face was cold, her thick eyebrows were frowned, and her deep ink pupils showed a look of displeasure.

The indifferent attitude of the face is like a thunderbolt, and the sound of "bang" finally ignites this cold war in an instant.

The man was dissatisfied: "I am going to go on the expedition tomorrow, you are like a piece of wood from beginning to end, there is no smile, no good words are enough, and you are still in such a hurry to drive me away?" ”

Before coming here, he thought she would question her, and he was mentally prepared.

I never thought that from the moment this woman saw her, she looked indifferent, as if she didn't care about anything.

Hearing this, an uncontrollable resentment rose in Yan Yan's heart.

She said, "What else do you want me to say?" Good luck with your triumphant return? Just as he destroyed the country of Nanyuan, he also destroyed our country of Xizi? Massacre of the people of Siz? ”

"Or do you want to slaughter my father and queen mother, and my brothers as you did in the royal family of Nanyuan Kingdom, ah?"

Before she was dismissed and demoted, she had been looking for an opportunity to question the man in front of her and ask him why he wanted to conquer the kingdom of Siz in person.

But after the man avoided her many times, it was past the point where she wanted to question him the most.

These days, after thinking calmly, she clearly realized that he would never change his political decisions because of women, never.

So, no matter how she questioned, no matter how she interceded for the country of Siz, what was the use?

Therefore, even if he stood in front of her today, she did not take the initiative to mention the war between the two countries.

Because he is going to be personally recruited tomorrow, what's the use of asking? Doesn't change any of the facts.

will only let her humiliate herself, let the quarrel affect her mood, and move the fetus.

Ever since the man entered this courtyard, she has been enduring it, treating him indifferently, and enduring until he left with interest.

Unexpectedly, he was angry and took the lead in questioning her.

Then just spread out everything and say it!

Li Zhong couldn't help but pout when he saw the emperor arguing with the concubine.

I'm really afraid of what will come, but what should come has come after all.

He shook off the dust, took the servants in the house out, closed the door, and gave the emperor and the concubine space to communicate.

In fact, the emperor and the concubine quarreled, and he was happy to see it.

After all, arguing is also a way of communication, and it is better than holding everything to the bottom of your heart.
