Entering the Yuanhe Palace, Xia Ye suddenly felt an awe-inspiring atmosphere, the civil and military officials were divided into two teams, and on the dragon chair in the middle, the old man with a face like a full moon sitting was Emperor Qi.

Summer Night slowly walked up to the emperor and knelt down gently. A choked voice immediately sounded in her mind: "Father, sons, see father." ”

Xia Ye said it to Emperor Qi according to Wuye's words.

The emperor sat on the dragon chair, in front of the hundred officials, he wanted to maintain his imperial prestige, but when he saw that his body did not move slightly, he raised his hand lightly and said, "The emperor is flat." ”

However, although it was a simple sentence, Xia Yeneng could hear the deliberately suppressed excitement of Emperor Qi.

Summer Night stood up, she raised her head, this was the first time she looked up seriously at this man, this man who was high, was her veritable father in this life. She has a father, too! Suddenly she wanted to cry in her heart, but she held back.

He also looked at her, his face was dignified, but his gaze could not hide his love and pity for her.

"Give a seat." Emperor Qi spoke again.

Immediately, a little eunuch came up and brought a stool for the summer night.

Summer Night Shane sat down.

"Ladies and gentlemen, many people must not recognize this Princess Xianren. I wonder where I'm heading Princess Hyunin, right? Speaking of this, Emperor Qi couldn't help but pause, but looked at the ministers in the palace, as if he was asking them for his conjecture.

"Yes, yes." The ministers were indeed very puzzled.

"Hehe, Zhong Aiqing, this princess is not my emperor, she is the daughter of the family of Da Sima Zhong Wannian Zhong. However, I have canonized her as the Princess Xianren of the Great Qi Kingdom. ”

As soon as the emperor said this, the ministers immediately talked about it, and whispered to each other. Some officials who were good friends with Zhong Wannian couldn't help but secretly ask him.

Zhong Wannian just said haha, and didn't go into details.

After the officials had discussed for a while, the emperor coughed softly on the dragon chair to stop their noise. He smiled mysteriously, as if he was very satisfied with his sudden approach.

He said: "The Qing family may think that something happened suddenly, but I have been thinking about this matter for a long time. ”

All the ministers did not speak, and quietly listened to Emperor Qi come one by one.

"Since Princess Wuye married Wei Guo, I miss it day and night, and often can't sleep at night, so the queen gave me an idea. Zhong Miaorong, the daughter of Lord Daozhong's family, has accompanied the princess since she was a child, is smart and clever, and knowledgeable, I have often seen it in the palace before, and I like it very much. It's just that when she married and married Wu Ye that night, she also went with her as a dowry maid, so recently, I ordered someone to ask Wu Ye for this girl......"

Hearing this, the ministers already somewhat understood what the emperor meant, this is to use the daughter of Lord Zhong to relieve the pain of thinking about the daughter. So they rushed to say: "The emperor is benevolent and loving, and the ministers are really admired." ”

"Gonggong Cao, read the edict I drafted early in the morning to all Aiqing."

"Yes." An old eunuch walked out from Emperor Qi's side, holding the edict in his hand and shaking his head and reading, "The daughter of the Great Sima Zhong Wannian family, Zhong Miaorong, is smart and gentle, and she is very heartfelt, and she is specially promoted to be the princess of Xianren." Chin this! ”

When the ministers heard this, they all bowed to the ground and shouted: "Congratulations to the emperor, congratulations to the emperor." He turned his head and shouted to the summer night, "Princess Hyunhito Chitose Chitose." ”

Xia Ye didn't know what to do for a while, so he listened to Wuye say in his mind: "Zhongqing is flat." So, he hurriedly complied.

The crowd thanked them and stood up.

"Your Majesty, such a happy event. The whole country must celebrate together. "A minister immediately proposed to Emperor Qi.

"Aiqing's words are really heartfelt. However, there is no need for the whole country to celebrate together, I have already decided to celebrate in Lord Zhong's mansion tonight, and all the secretaries will be present at that time. ”

"That's certain, and the ministers can't ask for it." All the ministers had beaming smiles on their faces.

The matter of sealing the princess here has been completed, and Xia Ye was supported by several palace people to meet the queen.

The queen is a woman over forty years old, she is sitting on a couch drinking tea, although she is no longer young, but the dignified and elegant bearing is extraordinary, and the charm is still there. The moment she saw the summer night, a trace of joy flashed in her eyes, a trace of distress, of course she knew that the princess Xianren in front of her was the princess of the nightless, but in front of the palace maids and eunuchs, she still had to pretend that she was not familiar with her.

"Princess, you have suffered, you will live here with the queen mother these days, let's talk about our hearts." As soon as the queen met, she pulled Xia Ye into her arms, and said distressedly.

As soon as she heard this, Xia Ye's eyes were sour, and she finally held back her tears, she pursed her lips and nodded.

From Wuye, Xia Ye knew that the queen was not her biological mother, but the queen had the demeanor of a mother and treated her as if she were her own child. Summer night finally tasted the taste of mother's love that I had never felt before. It turns out that just a gentle hug can melt all the grievances and coldness in your heart.

She thought that even if she was allowed to die like this at this time, there would be no regrets.

At this moment, the prince also ran over to visit the queen mother, and happened to see the scene of Xia Ye lying in the queen's arms, and immediately let out a soft snort, climbed onto the couch with his hands and feet, and plunged into the queen's arms without embarrassment, rolling around just coquettishly. Although he is already a teenager, he is still a child in front of his mother.

Xia was also infected by this strong family affection, and she leaned her head back on the queen's body a little shyly, and the queen hugged her tighter and gently stroked her hair. She laughed stupidly, but the tears finally fell like beans.

In the queen's bedchamber, Summer Night and the prince were playing there and lost track of time. It felt as if it was just an instant, and a palace maid came to report, saying that the emperor asked the queen, His Royal Highness the Prince, Princess Xianren and others to take a fake drive and go to Lord Zhong's mansion for a banquet.

Only then did everyone realize that the sun had sunk, and the queen smiled and rebuked the two of them for a few words, then took them to sit on the phoenix chariot together, went out of the palace gate, and arrived at Sima's mansion in a short time, and entered the mansion directly from the main gate.

After the car stopped, Xia Ye and the prince helped the queen get out of the car, one left and one right.

At this time, the sky had just darkened, and the house was already lit up, and people were bustling with people. As soon as they had taken their feet, the steward of the house himself came forward and led them to a feast in the garden.

The garden was quite large, with nearly twenty round tables, and in front of it there was a rectangular table, covered with silk cloth with gold letters on a red background, and the emperor was already sitting behind the table, and several ministers were surrounding him, all of them offering courtesy.

There is a gazebo next to the garden, and a small river runs around it. It is the end of spring and the beginning of summer, and the evening breeze blows the fragrance of flowers and plants, and also brings the moist smell of the river, which is very refreshing.

The empress came to the emperor's side with the crown prince and Xia Ye, and they saluted the Qi emperor, and then sat on either side of him, and Xia Ye sat on the very edge.

Soon, the feast began to be lively, with orchestral poetry, singing and dancing, and everyone was in high spirits.

After half the tour, the emperor seemed to be a little drunk. But he was particularly excited, raised his glass and said loudly: "Ladies and gentlemen, I still have news to announce. ”

Everyone fell silent in an instant, listening intently to what the emperor had to announce.

"This afternoon, an envoy from the Ulan Kingdom came to see me. He brought the King of Ulan the respect of the Qi Kingdom to me. sent a large number of rare treasures of the Ulan country, and once again expressed his desire to be friendly. ”

When I heard it on a summer night, a bad premonition suddenly rose in my heart.

Sure enough, the emperor's next words confirmed her worries, and he said with a crimson face: "I have promised him, and in a few days, I will send Princess Xianren over to realize the friendship between the two countries for generations." ”

When the ministers heard this, they raised their glasses and shouted, "Long live my emperor!" My emperor is wise. The two countries are harmonious, and the love and righteousness will last forever! They praised the wisdom and greatness of Emperor Qi, as if the person who was close to them was Emperor Qi himself, and they didn't pay attention to the princess who really wanted to marry far away.

"I disagree!" A firm and calm voice, like a piece of ice, was thrown into a pot of boiling water, instantly making everyone silent.

The emperor turned his head and saw that the person who spoke was Princess Xianren, and he reacted for a while.

The queen's face changed in fright. Quietly tugging on the sleeves of the summer night.

Xia Ye broke free of the queen's hand, walked around the square table and came to Emperor Qi, looking directly into his eyes.

"I don't agree to marry to Ulan." This time, she said again in front of Emperor Qi very clearly. Yes, why is she at the mercy of others anymore, just because you are the father of this body? It turns out that your love for Nightless was all pretended to be used by you at the beginning, just to still be used by you!

Summer Night's heart was as cold as falling into an ice cellar, in this life, she was hurt by her relatives again, and she felt that she would no longer believe in family affection.

But Nightless's voice sounded in Summer Night's mind: "Summer Night, my face is really lost by you!" As the princess of the Great Qi Kingdom, you must be ready to sacrifice for the country, this is the fate of your princess, and you should feel supreme glory. Quickly, I asked my father for guilt, and promised to make peace. ”

Summer Night said, "You're not wrong with your brain, are you?" Why? Why should the princess be sacrificed, the princess is also a human being! ”

"No, a princess is not a person, a princess is a symbol of the country." Wuye retorted to Xia Ye with great firmness, and it seemed that she was convinced of these, "The king is the minister, and the father is the son." Monarchs and ministers, fathers and sons, don't you understand? ”

"Heh, I know, but it's not right, I'm not you." Xia Ye did not back down, feeling that if she could stay by the side of Emperor Qi and the Empress to fulfill her filial piety, she would be willing, but if she wanted to dominate her life, she would never do it.

At this time, Emperor Qi came back to his senses, he pointed at Xia Ye with his wine glass, and said as if he didn't know her: "You are the daughter of the royal family, so you must obey the arrangement of your father." ”

"I'd rather not be a princess like that." Summer nights are unmistakably authentic.

"I'm doing this for your own good!" Emperor Qi roared, his eyes suddenly bloodshot.

"For your own sake." Xia Ye said mercilessly, she remembered the parents who had abandoned him, these parents, they always just said very beautifully, as if everything they did was for your good, if you didn't accept it, it would be a big rebellion.

Everyone was terrified, no one had ever dared to speak to the emperor like this. The emperor's lips trembled even more angrily, and he seemed to want to say a few words, but there was a 'cooing' sound in his throat, and suddenly his eyes rolled up, and he foamed at the mouth, and fell backwards.

"Father." The crown prince beside him immediately supported Emperor Qi.

The queen was about to help, but her body shook for a while, but fortunately, there was a palace maid waiting behind her, and she hurriedly hugged her and helped her to the side.

Everyone was in a panic, and they didn't know what to do, and they faintly heard Zhong Wannian shouting on a summer night: "Call Doctor Qu quickly." ”

After a while, an old voice shouted, "Get out of the way, get out of the way." Don't surround yourself, all the good people are suffocated by you. ”

Everyone immediately got out of the way, and Xia Ye saw a familiar face walking towards her—it was Dr. Qu from Wenxiangyuan, and he also saw her at a glance, but he immediately turned his gaze away, as if he didn't want people to know that they knew each other.

"Why is he in the Zhong Mansion?" Summer Night was puzzled.

I saw Dr. Qu walk quickly to Emperor Qi's side, first pinched his middle man with his hand, but without any reaction, he took out a piece from his arms, almost transparent, shaped like fish scales, palm-sized flowers and leaves, torn into strips, broke Qi Huang's teeth and stuffed them into his mouth.

After only a moment's effort, he heard Emperor Qi exhale and woke up leisurely.

Someone next to him was surprised and asked what kind of elixir this was?

Old man Qu couldn't help but tease and said, "This is Immortal Bone Xueshu." ”

As soon as the words fell, suddenly a person rushed over quickly, and when others didn't react, they took Old Man Qu away.

"Escort, escort!" The scene was a mess.

"Go back to the palace, drive back to the palace!"

Xia Lian was also stuffed into the car, and she didn't know what was going on in Sima's mansion, so she was quickly taken back to the palace.
