Hearing this, Chen Sansi's movement of wrapping the quilt paused, and his body suddenly tensed.

After a while, Chen Sansi raised his head and stared at Chen Yixuan who was speaking, trying to find a trace of joking on this person's face, but he failed, and the person in front of him couldn't be more serious.

For a long time, Chen Sansi's body, which had been tense, slowly relaxed, the corners of his mouth rose slightly, but there was no smile in his eyes.

"If it's true, that's really bad news."

Emperor Jin An only has one son, Qi Changrong, which is a fact recognized by the world, if there is suddenly one more out of thin air, then I am afraid that this great Jin court will no longer be as stable as before.

Royal, the last thing you lack is that you fight for me.

Chen Yixuan picked up the iron tongs again, lowered his head and said: "Your Highness, now that the situation in the Great Jin Palace is unknown, you don't have to get too close to Prince Changrong, and don't talk too much, she always has someone who knows." ”

Listening to Chen Yixuan's admonition, Chen Sansi pretended to smile lightly: "Don't worry, Your Highness I haven't been stupid enough to that extent, this is the matter of the Great Jin Imperial Family, and it has nothing to do with me." ”

Chen Yixuan's gaze moved from the charcoal basin to Chen Sansi's face, and seeing that he didn't seem to be lying, his heart was slightly relieved, and he said softly: "It's good that you know that this matter has nothing to do with you." ”

When he had finished speaking, he was silent.

Suddenly learned that Qi Changrong would have a younger brother or sister, Chen Sansi's mind was too complicated to speak, so he rarely shut up, shrunk in the corner of the bed and drooped his eyes, not knowing what he was thinking.

He suddenly felt like he was a bit of a crow's mouth.

Not long ago, it was said that Emperor Jin Anhuang might have another child to cultivate, but it turned out that only a few hours had passed, and what he said came true.

But after thinking about it, with Qi Changrong and the supporters behind Qi Changrong, it is a question of whether the child can be born safely, and it is a little too early to worry at this time.

Thinking of this, the complicated meaning in Chen Sansi's heart finally faded a little.

……

In the East Palace, after Qi Changrong stepped into the inner hall, Shi Xia, who had been waiting for a long time, ran in with small steps.

Then he stood by the screen with his hands down, a little unsure of how to speak.

Qi Changrong squinted at her, and cleaned his hands with the warm water brought by Grandma Sun, his face was plain and quiet: "If you have something to say, say it." ”

At this time, Grandma Sun took a clean handkerchief and carefully wiped the water droplets on Qi Changrong's hands.

After all this, a bowl of freshly brewed brown sugar ginger soup is served.

Qi Changrong held the white porcelain bowl, lowered his head and took a sip, the rich ginger flavor spread in her mouth, making her frown slightly uncomfortably, and then a sweetness followed, washing away the ginger taste.

At this moment, abandoning the hesitation in his heart, Shi Xia stepped forward.

When she got closer, Qi Changrong saw clearly that she was holding a small wooden box, and I don't know what was in the wooden box.

"This is handed over to the slave by the advisors of the king's mansion, so that the slave will be handed over to His Highness in person." While speaking, Shi Xia cautiously looked at Qi Changrong's face, and then his voice gradually lowered: "This thing, General Jun wanted to give it to His Highness personally before leaving." ”

But General Jun didn't expect that His Royal Highness didn't go out of the city to see him off.

So much so that this thing can only be handed over to others in the end.

"I was a little sad when I heard that the general left." Shi Xia plucked up his courage and said boldly: "But according to the slave's opinion, the general will not care about this little thing." ”

Qi Changrong didn't speak, sitting on the soft couch, staring at the wooden box in front of him like a torch.

Actually, she probably guessed what was inside.

"Your Highness won't open it and take a look?" Thinking of Zhou Shiren's instructions when he handed them over, seeing that Qi Changrong still didn't move, Shi Xia then gently persuaded: "I heard that this thing is very important to the Jun family. ”

It is important enough to command the entire Jun family.

After a long time, Qi Changrong finally made a move, but as soon as he opened his mouth, he drove people away.

"You go down first."

Without seeing the wooden box open with his own eyes, Shi Xia couldn't explain to Zhou Shiren, and was a little unwilling, so he wanted to open his mouth again to urge.

Mama Sun quickly grabbed her sleeve, stopped Shi Xia's urging to find her own death, took a step back, and said respectfully to Qi Changrong: "Wait, wait for you, retire first." ”

As soon as the words fell, Mama Sun immediately turned around and couldn't wait to leave with Shi Xia.

After going out, Mama Sun threw away the things she was holding in her hand with a look of disgust, and looked at Shi Xia's eyes full of warnings.

"Don't forget, Zhaoxun, you are from the East Palace."

Hearing this, Shi Xia stiffened slightly.

From the moment they entered the East Palace, the first instruction they received was that they must obey Qi Changrong's order.

But just now, she actually forgot her duty and intended to interfere with Qi Changrong's decision, if His Majesty knew about it, ten heads would not be enough.

Although it is just a small wooden box, whether it is a wooden box or something, His Highness can see it if he wants to, and if he doesn't want to see it, he won't look at it, where can he tolerate the beak of others?

Knowing the mistake he made, Shi Xia did not hesitate, immediately bowed his head and admitted his mistake and promised not to make it again in the future, so that Grandma Sun's face was slightly softened, and she finally stopped dwelling on this matter.

just said one more sentence before leaving: "You have to remember that no matter where you are, His Royal Highness the Crown Prince is our most important reliance." ”

Shi Xia was taught, and hurriedly replied: "Slave remember." ”

Seeing that she really remembered, Grandma Sun walked in the other direction.

……

Inside the room, Qi Changrong's eyes drooped slightly, and her fingers unconsciously drew circles on the table, and no one knew what she was thinking.

At this moment, she couldn't help but think of the question of serving Xia at the beginning.

Her feelings for Junchen are inexplicable, and even have a certain purpose from the beginning, there is no ordinary purity, but a careful design.

So even she couldn't help but wonder if she was trying to subdue the Jun family or if she was sincere.

If there is sincerity, how much sincerity is there?

After half a ring, it was as if he had finally figured it out, and then he raised his hand to open the wooden box.

A handkerchief, a token.

Extremely simple.

Qi Changrong only accepted the token, and as for the handkerchief, it was not touched at all, allowing it to lie quietly in the wooden box.

There were some things she just wanted to hear with her own ears.

……

Heavy snow is falling and the temperature drops suddenly.

In the blink of an eye, on November 28, the palace was decorated with bright red lanterns hanging in the corridors of every palace, and even the flowers and trees in the imperial garden were also hung with red silk, representing the meaning of festivities.

The palace, which has always been solemn, has finally gained some popularity today.

There was a banquet in the palace, and the palace people also chose more colorful but inconspicuous clothes in order to have a good fortune, and the smile on their faces did not go down when they were doing things.

Whenever there is a banquet in the palace, it is the time when they receive the most reward.

There was no hostess in the East Palace, so Shi Xia took the lead and found a bright red robe, and wanted to change it for Qi Changrong, but she was extremely firm in refusing.

Shi Xia had a bitter face and asked reluctantly, "Your Highness, isn't this dress beautiful?" ”

"Beautiful." Qi Changrong paused, and his perfunctory meaning was extremely obvious: "But it's not very solemn." ”

If she wore this dress, the custody would become the focus of the evening banquet, and her every move would be greatly restricted.

Thinking of that scene, Qi Changrong categorically refused.

She went to the banquet, not to get married.

Seeing her resolute attitude, even if Shi Xia was reluctant, she had to obediently change to another more normal body.

The navy blue robe is Qi Changrong's favorite tone.

This time there were no more accidents, and Qi Changrong was greatly relieved.

The dinner was set in the middle of the day, and before the luck, Mama Sun personally cooked a bowl of dumplings and served it, and said to Qi Changrong with a smile: "There are many current events at the dinner, and I will definitely not be able to eat well, Your Highness will use some cushions to cushion your stomach first, so as not to be uncomfortable later." ”

For the kindness of the old man, Qi Changrong responded with a smile.

After a while, the hall sent someone to pass the word, and seeing that it was already dark outside, Qi Changrong straightened his robe, held a hot soup woman in his hand, and was also draped in a thick fox jacket before leaving.

After being wrapped in silkworm chrysalis and confirming that there was no omission from head to toe, Mama Sun waved her hand and let people go out.

Auditorium.

Important officials of the DPRK and China had already arrived in advance, and they were sitting in their seats talking in twos and threes, some of them laughing and talking, and some of them lamented.

Pei Ji, who investigated the case of Junmen, was also lucky to be on the invitation list, but because he did not have an official position, he was arranged at the end of the banquet.

Even so, it was enough for Pei Jicheng to be afraid.

The situation in Shangjing is not very clear, and in the face of the friendship of the surrounding officials, Pei Ji is vigilant and will not make people feel sluggish, and every word is very delicate and decent, so that people can't find mistakes.

Among them, there were many people who were curious about the investigation process of Junmen's case, and whenever they opened their mouths to inquire, Pei Ji pulled his lips and smiled faintly, and quietly blocked back: "The result has been announced to the world, and the process is not very important." ”

When everyone saw that he had a tight mouth, they knew that they couldn't pry anything out, so they shrank back stupidly, and gradually left Pei Ji aside.

With no one to disturb him, Pei Ji had time to observe the current situation of the civil and military officials.

As for whether or not they formed a party in private, one or two can be glimpsed from their seats.

Pei Ji didn't look at it for long, and the shrill voice of the eunuch came from outside:

"His Royal Highness the Crown Prince has arrived, and the Third Prince Chen has arrived."

As soon as the words fell, Qi Changrong and Chen Sansi walked in from outside the hall one after the other.

Walking to the front of the seat, the two gave each other hands and sat down.

After a while, the voice of the eunuch came from outside again, but this time it was mixed with a bit of respect.

"Your Majesty has arrived, Concubine Qin has arrived!"

At the end, the voice of the little eunuch in charge of the communication was paused, and the next moment it was raised high: "Lian Ji Niangniang has arrived-"

Hearing the words 'Lianji Niangniang', Chen Sansi's ears moved slightly, and he was about to do something, but a hand suddenly appeared and slowly pressed on his shoulder.

When he looked up again, he saw Chen Yixuan shaking his head at Chen Sansi with a serious face, and said in a low voice: "No." ”
