"Or... Am I moving to the side? Concubine Ru put down the melon seeds handed to her mouth and asked tentatively.

I thought that Jiang Wan would say that there was no need to bother, who knew that Jiang Wan seemed to know that she could find the subtle aura of the two of them and would definitely ask such a sentence, as soon as Concubine Ru's voice fell, Jiang Wan laughed: "In this case, I will thank Concubine Ru, please come and sit inside." ”

After speaking, before Concubine Ru could say anything, Jing Yue had already helped Jiang Wan to stand up, Jiang Concubine also cooperated with Jiang Wan to get up and walk towards her position, Concubine Ru was held by the two, at this time it was too late to regret it, so she could only move to Jiang Wan's position, and the melon seeds handed to her mouth didn't want to eat them all at once, and threw them all back on the plate, raising her eyebrows and glancing at Jiang Wan who was sitting next to her.

Now the first chair on the left naturally became Prime Minister Jiang Ying, she is in a pivotal position above the court, it is understandable to sit here, and it is impossible for Concubine Qing to find Jiang Wan's bad luck in the position.

Although the Queen Mother's energy was concentrated on the stage outside, the small movements of the three people on the side still failed to escape the Queen Mother's eyes, but Qi Ying didn't say anything, and she just pretended not to see it.

After changing positions, it was very convenient for Jiang Wan and Jiang Yu to talk to each other.

"Is the prime minister okay?" Jiang Wan motioned for Jingyue to bring over the citrus that Jiang Yu had just eaten, and asked her by the way.

Jiang Yu lowered his eyes, and after a while, he raised his head and smiled at Jiang Wan reluctantly: "It's okay." ”

If you can't decisively say yes, it will be counted as bad.

Sure enough, something still happened, but it's not good to ask anything now, Jiang Wan bowed slightly, and after looking at Jiang Yu worriedly, she turned to Concubine Ru's side.

The stage was played scene after scene, singing sentence after sentence, Concubine Ru leaned towards Jiang Wan, raised her eyebrows and said, "Concubine Jing seems to care about the prime minister very much?" As he spoke, he took the orange peeled from the palace maid's hand and stuffed it into his mouth, looking curious and gossipy.

Jiang Wan's face did not change, and the corners of her mouth smiled: "This time I came to Dajin, I brought a lot of Dongshu goldware, exquisite carvings, and precious flower ornaments. ”

Sure enough, as soon as she heard this, Concubine Ru's eyes immediately lit up, and she made an interesting gesture, and obediently sat upright to watch the play, and no longer asked about the strange atmosphere between Jiang Wan and Jiang Yu.

Jiang Wan lowered her eyes and took a sip of the teacup.

In the previous life, it was not that she didn't understand this, but she didn't need to be tactful at all.

After being reborn, she also learned to use these as weapons to arm herself.

Originally.. People really change.

Maybe this is what Qi Ying once told her. What an identity, what a way to live?

She couldn't understand it before, but now, it seems to do.

Jiang Wan put down the teacup lightly, and when she raised her eyes, she found that Qi Ying was looking at her intently.

He didn't know how long he had been watching, but the light in his eyes was very deep, and when Jiang Wan looked at him, he actually felt that his heartbeat had missed a beat.

It's too much of a resemblance.

The tone of his words, the small movements that were inadvertently revealed, the curvature of the corners of his smiling mouth, and even the glance of raising his eyes to look at him, all completely coincided with Jiang Wan's figure, becoming the most familiar appearance in his memory.

Now the person in front of him is not very much like the bloody Jiang Wan who collided with the rules in the palace, but very much like the Jiang Wan on the bank of the Galloping Horse Huai River, at that time, Jiang Wan's eyes were cleaner and purer than the current woman.

She will also unceremoniously fight back against anyone who dares to provoke her.

After becoming the queen, she restrained the killing intent on her body and became kinder to everyone.

Only for myself, there are more and more incomprehensions and disagreements.

Now that I think about it, who is right and who is wrong, what does it absolutely matter?

Jiang Wan looked at Qi Ying, smiled at him suddenly, and then looked away and went to watch the play.

His heart was shaken.

In this world, two people who have never lived together are separated by thousands of miles, and it is absolutely impossible to be so similar.

It's just that he doesn't dare to be 100% sure, let alone confirm his conjecture in person.

And Concubine Qing, who took the time to pay attention to Qi Ying's movements, happened to see this scene.

Originally, it was just a brief glance at each other, but when it fell into Concubine Qing's eyes, it completely changed, she couldn't sit still all of a sudden, frowned and tugged Guo Zhenzhen's sleeve, leaned close to her ear and lowered her voice: "Did you see?!" Concubine Jing, the fox, deliberately attracted the emperor's attention by changing the position of the prime minister, and pretended to give the emperor an eyebrow, I saw it all! She is still smiling at the emperor! Shameless thing! ”

Concubine Qing was trembling with anger, her heart was so sour, she only hated that she didn't have so many good ideas to attract Qi Ying's attention.

She also wants to look at the emperor! She also wanted to smile at Qi Ying!

Why is the limelight all for concubines!

In the past, it was the queen who monopolized the grace, but now that the queen is gone, isn't it Qi Ying's turn to take a look at her?!

They can't fight, they can't beat Jiang Wan, and they can't grab a sick seedling from Dongshu, right?!

Concubine Qing was not convinced, the more she was dissatisfied, the imbalance and unhappiness in her heart that scratched her heart and lungs burned her heart and lungs, and she couldn't live in peace for a moment.

Guo Zhenzhen listened to Concubine Qing's words, glanced at Qi Ying who was seated, he was still staring at Jiang Wan's side face, but Jiang Wan didn't react at all, she watched the play seriously by herself, I don't know if it was really unclear whether Qi Ying was staring at herself or playing a trick to catch and indulge.

"Concentrate on the play." Guo Zhenzhen took a deep breath and forcibly suppressed the discomfort in her heart, although Concubine Qing is easy to control and provoke, but sometimes she is really angry and angry regardless of the occasion, and she can't manage the expression on her face well, for fear that others don't know how much she wants to swallow Jiang Wansheng alive, Guo Zhenzhen is already irritable enough to suppress her anger, and now she has to spare some thoughts to take care of Concubine Qing, and her tone is naturally a little heavy, "Calm down, the Queen Mother is still watching." ”

Concubine Qing's eyes were about to be on fire, Guo Zhenzhen said that the Queen Mother, she was finally willing to give birth to something, she sat up straight with an unwilling face, drank several sips of tea, and choked on coughing because she was too anxious, and between coughs, she didn't forget to raise her eyes to see if Qi Ying looked at herself, even if it was a glance or a word of concern.

Unfortunately not.

Qi Ying's gaze fell slightly on the pastry in her hand for a moment, and then immediately re-glued to Jiang Wan's body, I really don't know what magic power Jiang Wan has, causing Qi Ying to not even miss her subtle facial movements.

No one knew that Qi Ying was confirming that he was frantically looking for evidence on Jiang Wan's body in his endless speculation.

Even a little bit was enough to make his heart tremble.

Qi Ying looked at Jiang Wan like this and refused to look away, so angry that Concubine Qing coughed even more, but instead attracted the Queen Mother's attention to look at her: "Concubine Qing, what's wrong with you?" ”

Concubine Qing hurriedly stood up, covered the corners of her mouth and endured the tingling of her roar: "The concubine is in a hurry to drink water." ”

The Queen Mother waved her hand: "Sit down, you don't have to stand up at every turn, go with the flow, be careful when drinking water, don't just look at the place next to you." ”

Concubine Qing thanked the Queen Mother for her care, and after sitting down, she really settled down a lot, and restrained herself from looking at Qi Ying and Jiang Wan.

The Queen Mother looked sideways, and naturally found that Qi Ying was not concentrating on listening to the play, but put all her attention in the direction to the left, and she didn't need to look at the Queen Mother to know what Qi Ying was watching, he was really too curious about this concubine, what was so special? !

"The emperor doesn't seem to like to listen to this play, so let them stop singing and change it." The Queen Mother squinted at Aunt Luo and commanded.

Qi Ying rolled her eyes and looked at the Queen Mother: "The singing is very good, there is no need to change it." Jiang Wanzheng listened attentively, and Qi Ying subconsciously didn't want to disturb her interest.

The Queen Mother turned to the side slightly: "What is the emperor thinking when he stares at that side?" ”

Qi Ying chuckled: "My son is thinking, if Qi Dao is here, he will be bored and doze off, this guy has expected it, and he refuses to enter the palace for a long time, I'm afraid he is just waiting for the dumplings at night, according to his son, tonight's fireworks should be called to him as a punishment." ”

This is naturally nonsense, but the Queen Mother did not expose Qi Ying, but followed his words and said: "You know that Dao'er was scared when he was a child, so he was afraid of lighting fireworks, and you still punished him with this, be careful that he turned his face with you on the spot." ”

Qi Ying laughed, as if he was looking forward to this matter, he waved his hand, and finally moved his body to sit upright, looking at the actors on the stage outside who were wearing heavy makeup and babbling and singing: "You have to be punished, and you will have a long memory if you are punished." ”

Listening to music this afternoon, time flies quickly.

As Qi Ying expected, Qi Dao was really late when he stepped on the order to start the banquet.

When he came in, he was singing a song of Su Meng at the end of the song, and the poignant and tactful tone made people's hearts tremble, and the figure of Qi Dao who came in domineering and wanton was very weird no matter how you looked at it.

The expression on Qi Dao's face was very indifferent and solemn, and after the Queen Mother and Qi Ying came forward to greet him, his eyebrows eased down by two points.

Qi Ying just let the wine be put on the table, so that everything that can be drunk is full, so as to warm up her body.

Qi Dao came at the right time, Qi Ying pointed to the position beside him and said: "It's just in time, come and sit down, I will call you into the palace in the morning, look at the time, what time is it now?" Come now, three glasses of wine! Changzhong, full of King Jing. ”

Changzhong immediately received the order, stepped forward and poured the warm wine for Qi Dao: "Lord Wang, please." ”

Qi Dao drank a few pots of wine in the morning, and then went to the outskirts of Beijing for a while, feeling that it was not enjoyable enough, at this time Qi Ying asked him to continue drinking, but he couldn't ask for it, from the time he came in just now, he didn't squint and didn't look at Jiang Yu, and at this time he poured wine into his mouth, and drank quickly and violently.

Qi Ying looked at his expression, and probably guessed that something unpleasant must have happened on the way to Beijing this morning, and now that there are so many people here, he can't ask Qi Dao, so he raised his hand and patted Qi Dao's shoulder: "You drink refreshingly, and you don't touch a glass with me, it's really not interesting." ”

Qi Dao smiled bitterly, filled himself with another bowl, and collided with the one in Qi Ying's hand: "Brother Jinghuang." ”

After saying that, he poured it straight down again.

Jiang Yu lowered his eyes and didn't look at Qi Dao, but the hand below was still clenched unconsciously.

The Queen Mother looked at Qi Dao pouring himself wine like this, and frowned to stop him: "This is a palace banquet, and it's not a place to compare wine, I haven't eaten anything yet, but I'm going to get myself drunk first?" ”

After listening to the Queen Mother's words, Qi Dao no longer continued to pour wine for himself, he sat with a serious expression, and only after a few glasses of wine did he dare to raise his head and look at Jiang Yu.

After discovering that Jiang Yu lowered his eyes and didn't pay attention to himself at all, his heart felt as uncomfortable as if he had a fire.

Since Qi Dao has also arrived, Guo Zhenzhen smiled and said if it is possible to have a banquet, it is dark early in winter, and the candles have already been lit in the courtyard of Minhu Lake.

Guo Zhenzhen's proposal was just in time, the Queen Mother bowed slightly, and Aunt Luo and Changzhong opened up the table and brought the steaming dumplings that had just come out of the pot.

The things of the palace banquet are all provided by the imperial dining room, and there is naturally nothing to be picky about in terms of craftsmanship, and the taste of the water-stained dishes is also delicious, but Qi Ying feels that something is missing when she eats it in her mouth, and what she thinks about is the taste she ate in Meixi Palace that day.

That spice plate, Qi Ying could never convince herself that it was just a coincidence.

In this world, except for Jiang Wan, there is no second person in this world who can concoct the same flavor of seasoning as her.

Qi Ying's hands trembled a little, and the more he escaped, the more he couldn't escape the horror brought by these small details.

So after eating two, I put down my chopsticks and didn't move.

The Queen Mother looked at him: "The emperor thinks it's not to taste? ”

Qi Ying shook her head and was silent.

A meal of dumplings didn't last long, Jiang Yu's appetite was not very good, since Qi Dao came, she felt a little out of breath, and the hand holding the chopsticks tried to keep calm, but she was still trembling slightly.

She wasn't afraid of Qi Dao, she was just running away from her heart.

She would rather Qi Dao be a stranger to her forever, so that she will feel better in her heart and accept herself better.

But Qi Dao's sudden concern and proximity made her feel terrified.

She was terminally ill and had no cure.

Qi Dao should be far away from her, so far that neither of them will be hurt by each other anymore, only in this way can she find her place from the endless blame.

The plate of dumplings in front of Jiang Yu ate quickly, she was almost just unconsciously stuffing it into her mouth, chewing and then swallowing, Jiang Wan was worried to death when she saw it on the side, Jiang Yu may not even taste what this plate of dumplings tasted like, after swallowing it, as if she had finally completed some difficult task, Jiang Wan saw her breathe a sigh of relief, and then picked up the handkerchief on the side to wipe the corners of her mouth.

"Jiang Yu." She called Jiang Yu softly, and even wanted to immediately drag her to a place where there was no one to figure things out, but in the end reason prevailed.

Jiang Yu didn't look at her, it seemed that as long as she glanced at Jiang Wan, the composure and courage she had now desperately accumulated would instantly disintegrate into pieces.

Qi Dao was still drinking in a muffled voice, and only ate two dumplings in front of him, the atmosphere of today's palace banquet was a little heavy, Qi Ying didn't talk much, but Concubine Qing kept toasting him, as if she was also using wine to suppress the strength in her heart, Qi Ying didn't refuse her, she drank with Concubine Qing one by one, Concubine Qing's amount of wine was not good, and she blushed badly after a while, as if she was drunk.

Guo Zhenzhen watched from the side, frowned and tugged at Concubine Qing's sleeve: "You drink less!" ”

She is a reckless character, if she is really drunk, she may do something stupid out of the sky, but Guo Zhenzhen naturally can't help her with Mingzhe's self-protection, so she can only persuade Concubine Qing at this time, even if she feels uncomfortable, don't get drunk now! But don't forget the important things you have to do today, if you miss it, wouldn't it be in vain if you waste so many tongues in front of Concubine Qing?

Concubine Qing's tongue was a little knotted, and she impatiently slapped Guo Zhenzhen's hand away: "I'm fine!" I'm not drunk! Don't shake me! ”

After she finished speaking, she glared at Jiang Wan viciously, and muttered angrily: "Concubine Jing, that little cheap hoof, phew!" After speaking, her eyes rolled up, and she came to Guo Zhenzhen's ear, and as soon as she opened her mouth, she lowered her voice, and half of her body was pressed on Guo Zhenzhen, "You... Don't worry, tonight, I'll pack up the concubine! I see how crazy she is! ”

After that, I don't know what came to mind, so I laughed stupidly.

Guo Zhenzhen took a deep breath speechlessly, she was really stupid and hopeless! She asked Sleeveless to quickly help Concubine Qing up and sit down, and then patted herself on the shoulder, refusing to take care of Concubine Qing anymore.

Tonight is not peaceful, it is destined to make trouble, but this matter has nothing to do with her, not only to walk around Jiang Wan later, but also to avoid Concubine Qing, lest this fool provoke himself and drag her to burn herself together.

Thinking of this, Guo Zhenzhen poured wine for herself, and was about to get up to toast the Queen Mother, when she saw Jiang Ying on the other side suddenly stand up, she saluted Qi Ying and the Queen Mother, saying that she was a little unwell and wanted to go back first.

Qi Ying knew that her condition had just been brought under control, and when she heard her say that she was uncomfortable, she naturally would not keep her, but was ready to let Changzhong send her home.

Jiang Ying thanked the emperor again and again, saying that after someone in the house received him outside the palace gate, Qi Ying relieved her heart and asked Changzhong to find someone to carry a lantern to send Jiang Ying out of the palace.

She walked in a hurry, her face was ugly, Jiang Wan almost couldn't sit still, but Jingyue pressed Jiang Wan's shoulder, shook her head and signaled her to calm down, Jiang Wan took a deep breath to stabilize her figure, and watched Jiang Yu's figure walk away.

As soon as Jiang Ying left, Qi Dao naturally couldn't sit still, he picked up his wine glass and toasted the Queen Mother and Qi Ying again, and then said that he was not feeling well and wanted to leave the table early.

It may be that his face is also ugly, Qi Ying glanced at the dark road outside, thinking that Jiang Ying should not have gone far at this time, if he really wants to chase people, he can still catch up, it is to even punish Qi Dao for lighting fireworks, wave his hand to let him go quickly, and tell him to enter the palace again in a few days to accompany him to practice swords, Qi Dao hurriedly turned around and strode away.

Two people walked away at once, and the Queen Mother glanced at Jiang Wan and Concubine Qing, who was drunk, sneered in her heart, and put down her chopsticks.

"The mourning family drank some wine, and they were afraid that they would be unstable, so the emperor helped the mourning family go back." The Queen Mother looked at Qi Ying and offered to ask Qi Ying to send her back to the palace.

The Queen Mother spoke, Qi Ying naturally had no reason to refuse, he subconsciously glanced at Jiang Wan, and listened to the Queen Mother say: "If you want to sit down for a while and talk, it's okay, if you want to go back first, you will all disperse." ”

After saying that, she stood up, Qi Ying could only take advantage of the situation to support the Queen Mother and walk out, the concubines all got up and saluted, and after Qi Ying and the Queen Mother also walked away, Guo Zhenzhen suddenly relaxed her expression and sat down upright.

Jiang Wan raised her eyes and glanced at Guo Zhenzhen, why did the Queen Mother deliberately take Qi Ying away, both of them knew it.

However, Concubine Qing, who was blowing her beard and staring at her, didn't necessarily understand.

Jiang Wan also sat down calmly, and after eating all the dumplings in front of her, she slowly drank two sips of tea, and took the lead in getting up and preparing to go back.

Concubine Ru called out to her: "The emperor is preparing fireworks, aren't you waiting to play with us with fireworks?" ”

Jiang Wan smiled kindly at her: "I'm weak and can't stand the wind, so I went back earlier." ”

Concubine Ru sighed and didn't speak again.

Jiang Wan deliberately glanced at Concubine Qing before leaving, and when she passed by the edge of Min Lake, she deliberately put her feet full, and when she came during the day, she carefully looked at where the stone slipped and where it was, and now she stopped here, insisting that she wanted to feed the fish.

Jingyue understood what Jiang Wan meant, the two of them originally said yes, pretending to persuade a few words, and after hearing footsteps behind her, Jingyue dragged Pinzhu in the other direction to find fish food.

Jiang Wan stood very far to the side, looking like her attention was on the lake, but in fact, the slight movement behind her did not escape her ears at all.

If Concubine Qing is drunk, she will definitely be so angry that she loses her mind.

The person behind him crept closer, able to hide the footsteps, but not the smell of alcohol.

When a fool gets drunk, he loses his mind.

So when the hand behind her touched Jiang Wan's back, Jiang Wan went straight back and grabbed the outstretched hands.

She saw Concubine Qing's panicked eyes, she definitely didn't understand how Jiang Wan knew that she was close to her, not only did she not understand, but even at this time, she subconsciously wanted to escape.

It's a pity that Jiang Wan tried her best to tighten Concubine Qing's wrist, she took a step back, from Concubine Qing's hand to stepping on the slippery water, it was just a short two seconds, and before the two fell into the water together and were wrapped in the cold lake water, Jiang Wan heard the screams on the shore.

She bet that the drunken Concubine Qing would be carried away by jealousy and the anger that had been accumulating today.

She gambled that the drunken person behind her was Concubine Qing.

She turned around without hesitation, leaving no room for herself, let alone the people behind her.

It's a gamble.

And she will definitely be the victorious one.
