The sky is slightly bright during the frolic, it is the sixteenth day of the winter month, because the Spring Festival will be changed to really start the history of Han Zexi's own imperial hegemony, and there are many affairs in the DPRK and China.

After Cheng Haofeng received the spirit rune, he spread his hands with a smile. From the moment he supported Han Zexi to ascend the throne, he unconsciously added a heavy burden to himself, and he had an unshirkable responsibility for anything that happened to the French Dynasty.

She understood his helplessness, and hurriedly went to wake up Hang Wuyi, and the three of them set off for Beijing.

When he arrived in the capital, Cheng Haofeng first entered the palace to tell the old princess, and Hu Xianxian and Hang Wuyi temporarily stopped in Xianyunguan.

In the late afternoon, Cheng Haofeng didn't see them after he came back, and only after asking about the blood was that they went to live in Bixi Palace temporarily.

Because Hu Xianxian felt that they were not married after all, it was inconvenient here, and she didn't care what others said, but it would bring pressure and resistance to Cheng Haofeng. Moreover, Hang Wuyi was always a little unable to let go of the blood and hatred, and she didn't want to see them get along so awkwardly. It just so happened that Ye Saiying came to deliver messages related to the sheep demon in various places in Beijing, and Hu Xianxian followed her to Bixi Palace.

Cheng Haofeng patted the book case unhappily and asked Blood Wuqi to pick them up. Blood without hatred was hesitating, and Governor Zhou asked people to spread the word that the Empress Dowager wanted to see him and asked him to go to Ci'an Palace quickly.

The nave of Ci'an Palace is gorgeous, the flowers and trees are luxuriant, and the servants shuttle back and forth, and the clouds of the former power struggle have long since dissipated. The brightly dressed palace maid first led Cheng Haofeng to the flower hall to taste tea, and after a while, the empress dowager's personal palace maid came to pass him to the warm pavilion.

The warm pavilion is a three-room connecting suite on the side of the main house, the daily living place of the Empress Dowager in autumn and winter, and she summoned him there to treat him as a close to her juniors.

Seeing the Empress Dowager, Cheng Haofeng bowed slightly and saluted. He could have not done the ordination, but he did so as to treat himself as Han Zexi's peer and salute out of respect for the elders of the younger generation.

"National teacher, please be seated." The Empress Dowager smiled and pointed to the chair not far from her side.

After Cheng Haofeng sat down, she smiled and pointed to the tea beside her and said, "Since the national teacher has returned to Beijing after finishing his work, the mourning family will not leave tea, you will take her back today." ”

"If the mother likes her company, it is okay to stay with her for a long time."

The Empress Dowager shook her head and pursed her lips at Cha'er and chuckled: "The mourning family wants such a clever and well-behaved girl to be by her side for a long time, but she is not willing to waste her youth by guarding the lonely old woman." The mourning family is not the wicked person, as long as you can come and see the mourning family from time to time. ”

"...... You're making fun of me again...... I just want to be more filial piety around the bridesmaids. Cha'er was full of shyness, talking to the Queen Mother, but the corner of her eyes was glancing at Cheng Haofeng.

"Cha'er understands that filial piety is important, and this is a very good move." His tone was neither salty nor light.

Cheng Haofeng's attitude of completely putting himself as a bystander surprised the Empress Dowager, which was not in line with her expectations. In what she expected should be an intimate atmosphere, Cha'er pretended to refuse to return to Xianyunguan, and Cheng Haofeng wanted to take her back, but because the face of the Empress Dowager was not easy to say directly, it was only right that the scene was so greasy and crooked.

Seeing the change in the Empress Dowager's expression, Cheng Haofeng said: "Poor Dao already has a marriage contract, and he has no selfish relationship with Cha'er. If there is any misunderstanding, you are upset with the mother, and please forgive the mother. ”

"Oh......" The Empress Dowager said in a long tone, but she didn't know what to say, Cha'er gave her a look, and she said: "The mourning family knows that your fiancée is not a fuel-efficient lamp, and a capable woman can do things well or badly." The national teacher is so afraid of guilt before he gets married, won't he suffer much in the future? Men need someone to serve intimately, so don't delay your good relationship because of a momentary fear. ”

These words were already very demeaning to Hu Xianxian, and the tea didn't seem to be enough, so she pouted at the Empress Dowager. The Empress Dowager said again: "The mourning family heard that your fiancée once went to the garden of Ci'an Palace to steal wood hibiscus flowers by relying on her ability to fly the eaves and walk the wall. ”

Cheng Haofeng glanced at Cha'er deeply, the matter of stealing flowers may have been Hu Xianxian's leakage when cooking, but he didn't expect to add another crime.

"The poor are blessed, and they should only match the rough village girl. Cha'er is knowledgeable, gentle and considerate, and may be more suitable for other princes and grandsons. He said self-deprecating words, but the corners of his mouth were sneering.

The Empress Dowager nodded slightly, obviously agreeing with his statement. In her opinion, although the national teacher has the magic of Tongtian, he is just more formal and capable than the magic stick, and he is not on the right path after all. She has a deep-rooted concept of the family, and only the cultivation of literature and martial arts, and the worship of the prime minister are the right way. She was able to make up her mind to accept Cha'er as a righteous daughter, because she knew that she was originally a concubine of the eunuchs. Otherwise, if Cha'er pleases her again, she will only give some more silver taels.

"Niangniang......" Cha'er called softly with tears in her eyes, she didn't want the Queen Mother to really marry her to a certain gentleman. She learned a lot about Cheng Haofeng from Cao Beidao, she wanted to be prosperous and rich, she wanted the world to worship, and she wanted to live forever, all of which only he could afford.

"Alas......" The Empress Dowager couldn't help sighing, in her heart this tea is a poor girl who is infatuated. She had to persuade Cheng Haofeng again: "The mourning family once probed the tea and asked her if she was willing to be the emperor's concubine, so that she could stay in the palace and often come to accompany the mourning family, but she didn't want to!" She said that she likes a character like the national teacher, and even the Ninety-Five Supreme can't enter her heart. National teacher, you can't live up to her affection. ”

"Since Niangniang said so, Poor Dao will take her back." Cheng Haofeng no longer argued, and the Empress Dowager said a few perfunctory words casually no matter what she said.

During the unitary time, the Empress Dowager left the two to accompany each other for dinner. After the meal, Cheng Haofeng resigned, and she asked people to prepare a soft sedan chair to send tea back to Xianyunguan.

After looking back, Cheng Haofeng went to Deyi Hexuan first, and asked the blood without hatred to wait at the door and let Cha'er go to the study to meet him.

Cha'er thought that Cheng Haofeng was going to whisper something to her, but he sat behind his desk and looked through all kinds of information about the sheep demon, and the blood was standing quietly behind him, and the two of them didn't greet her, and it wasn't for her to go in or leave at the door.

At the end of the hour, light snow drifted in the cold wind. Cha'er was about to freeze when she stood at the door, and she couldn't help but tremble her teeth when she was so cold. Hearing the sound of her teeth knocking together, Cheng Haofeng asked Blood Wuqi to go to the door to talk to her.

"You don't want to be the emperor's concubine, and you are loyal to serve the national teacher, which is commendable. I don't know why you think of my master? Do you think you can live forever with him? Blood asked unhurriedly.

She was cold and embarrassed, and her brain was a little unable to turn, and she did not dare to answer, for fear of falling into the trap of his words.

Seeing that she was silent and trembling, she pouted and said, "Do you know that the emperor also has the ability to live forever?" The matter of the Star Monarch's entry into the mortal world is not a secret among cultivators, but you don't know it, right? ”

Cha'er raised her eyes to look at him, and quickly lowered her head. Cao Beidao told her a lot of things, but it was only things that she needed to know, and she didn't know much about the circle of cultivators. If even the emperor can cultivate and live forever, then it should be more noble than the status of the national teacher, and she can't help but regret a little that she listened to Cao Beidao's arrangement for everything.

Blood Wuqi paused, and when Cha'er's emotions had a buffer, he said: "There are many secrets in this world, what you can see may not be what you can grasp, don't think too much if you don't have a chance to get close." Settle a little, and you can have a good life; If you don't want to settle down, then take this last warning to heart. ”

The snow is not falling much, but such a light snow mixed with drizzle is colder than when it rains goose feather snow, and it is a kind of cold that penetrates into the bone marrow. Cha'er hugged her body tightly and lowered her head and sobbed. She has a pride in her life, and she doesn't want to cry even when she is sad.

"Do you understand?" Blood without hatred asked in a low voice. Cheng Haofeng treats people coldly, but he rarely gets angry, and he often speaks coldly without hatred, and everyone in Xianyunguan is more afraid of him.

"What Senior Brother Blood said, I understand." Cha'er gritted her teeth until her back molars were about to bleed before she stopped trembling, and tried her best not to be humble or arrogant in replying: "But what you say is just your thoughts, are you sure that the national teacher thinks like that?" ”

Blood Wuqi wanted to laugh when he was angry, he glanced back at Cheng Haofeng before saying, "Even my seventh uncle is not sure that she can understand my master very well, where do you get the confidence to think that you understand him?" Uncle Seventh didn't dare to say that he could hold him, where did you get the confidence that you could hold him in your hands? ”

"I ...... Didn't say he knew him! I didn't dare to think of holding him in my hands. I was just...... I just think that he may not be what you say......" Cha'er didn't expect Blood Wuqi to say this about her, and looked up at Cheng Haofeng in a little panic, hoping that he would save her some face.

Cheng Haofeng was still flipping through the file, his expression focused, as if the dispute at the door had nothing to do with him.

He is not pretending, nor is he calm enough to be calm enough to stop any words, but he believes that blood without hatred can solve troubles, and he has to use a limited time to analyze those things related to the sheep demon from the various information he has collected. He isolated them with an aura shield and couldn't hear them at all.

But Cha'er didn't know that there was an aura cover, and his indifferent look made her feel desperate, it turned out that she raised her identity, and he still didn't even bother to look at her twice. This sense of despair did not make her flinch, but made her resentful, and hated all those who lived better than her.

Full of hatred, she clenched her fists, and her nails dug into the flesh to keep her face calm. She has a new plan, no longer thinking about clinging to others, but thinking about taking advantage of others, and when she stands in the highest position, she will take revenge on others. She knelt down on her knees, kowtowed to Cheng Haofeng, and then got up and went downstairs to her own room.

After she left, Blood Without Hatred gestured for Cheng Haofeng to put away the aura mask, and then explained to him what had just happened.

"This woman is very high-spirited and paranoid, and she has a posture of not giving up until she reaches her goal, and she may have trouble in the future." Blood has no revenge, and he turned around and persuaded Cheng Haofeng to get rid of her directly.

"Let's see what she can do. On closer inspection, she resembles me, so extreme that she has to remove all obstacles in her path. ”

Resemble? Hearing this, he glared fiercely, and his eyes were about to fall.

Cheng Haofeng waved his hand and smiled: "Similar but not pity, if it weren't for her to pick up the line of Cao Beidao, it would be superfluous to talk to her." ”

"Oh, oh." Blood Without Hatred nodded again and again, and the hanging heart was put down. Women are most likely to cause trouble when they fight, and he is afraid that the master will not be exempt from vulgarity, if he falls short because of women, it is not worth it.

Worried that he was acting recklessly behind his back, Cheng Haofeng explained to him a few more words: "Destroy them, Heavenly Court will find other people to cause trouble for me, instead of fighting with unpredictable people, it is better to see how a few of them make moves." ”

On the nineteenth day of the winter month, Cheng Haofeng found out that there were several strange adultery cases in the capital related to the sheep demon, but he had already made an appointment with Zheng Tianba to inspect the recruits of the Kiln Bureau, so he asked the blood to ask Hu Xianxian to help capture the sheep demon.
