In Qifeng Palace, Hua Xiyan was sitting at the table in the inner room, lazily fiddling with the wick of an oil lamp with a fire stick.

Remembering that in the morning, on the Jinluan Palace, Emperor Tianlong wanted to arrange a palace for herself, but she just said nonchalantly: "No need, I will live in Qifeng Palace." ”

Emperor Tianlong was stunned, and then nodded busily: "It's okay, you will live in Qifeng Palace first, your princess's mansion Rongchang Palace has already been built, and after someone picks it up, it will not be too late for you to move in." ”

Hua Xiyan nodded indiscriminately, and in line with the principle that where he lived was the same, he went back to Qifeng Palace directly.

The night was long, and there were a few pearls tightly inlaid in the huge palace, and she just lit a few kerosene lamps in the summer, enjoying the silence and warmth under the dim light.

She sat here in a daze, for a long time, and seemed to have a lot of questions in her head, as if she was thinking about nothing, just as if she was passing the time in boredom.

It wasn't until three o'clock in the morning that the continuous noise outside stopped, and Wen Xia and Xun Qiu both walked in with their backs hung down in pain.

"Miss...... The princess ......" asked Xia to swallow her saliva, as if she was a little entangled in what to call herself.

"How did you come before, but how you still come now." Hua Xiyan blinked, the lofty title of "princess" was too indifferent and alienated.

Wen Xia nodded hurriedly, raised the things in his hand and put them on the table: "In one afternoon, the holy decree was issued four times, and the queen mother's decree was issued two, all of which were rewards. ”

Xun Qiu also put a thick stack of paper in his hand on the table with a sad face: "This is the congratulatory gifts and posts sent by the princely mansions, and there are some first-class officials." Officials of the second rank and below have not yet had time to visit the shrine. I asked Aunt Ying just now, and Aunt Ying said that this situation will continue for at least three days! ”

Xun Qiu stretched out three fingers as he spoke, his mouth pursed tightly, and he looked indignant.

Hua Xiyan couldn't help but be a little funny: "They are all here to give gifts, isn't this a good thing?" What is the situation when you all look so bitter and hateful? ”

Both of them have changed into the costumes of first-class female officials, and the splendid Luo skirt is a little better than the ordinary ladies. The two of them were obviously not very comfortable with such a restrained outfit, but they thought that their young lady was afraid that they would be even more uncomfortable, so in order not to make Hua Xiyan more uncomfortable, they all tried to change into a slightly relaxed look.

"It's not necessarily a good thing to receive a gift!" Asking Xia pouted, he began to take out all kinds of things from his sleeve and throw them on the table, his mouth was broken, "This is all an afternoon of bribery from the minions of various palaces, hoping that I will say a few good words in front of the young lady so that they can arrange an errand in Qifeng Palace." ”

Xun Qiu hurriedly nodded: "I have a lot of them here." ”

"You are now a first-class female official, the highest rank among the palace maids, and those people naturally want to flatter you." Hua Xiyan picked up a golden hairpin and weighed it carefully in his hand, shook his head and said, "I took out a thousand pure gold, I am really willing." ”

Wen Xia and Xun Qiu were a little nervous, the grades of the two of them were suddenly tied with the two big palace maids beside the queen, the weaving mandarin duck and the embroidered goose, according to their qualifications, it was really deserved......

"This is what they gave you, you can do whatever you want." Hua Xiyan put down the golden hairpin in his hand and said again, "You and Aunt Ying will go to the warehouse to have a look in a while, and if you see anything you like, take it away, don't be polite." ”

Qian Xia and Xunqiu thought of the appearance of those officials who were eager to move their warehouses into this afternoon, and couldn't help but have a black line.

"Hurry up and rest, you have to deal with it tomorrow!" Hua Xiyan waved his hand at the two.

The two hurriedly made the bed quilt for Hua Xiyan, and went towards the side hall with half-closed eyes that they couldn't open.

Hua Xiyan stretched his waist, soothing his body, which was a little sore from sitting quietly for a long time.

"The night is long, the deep palace is cold, I wonder if Her Royal Highness the princess needs someone to warm the bed?"

Hua Xiyan followed the prestige, and saw the man in white by the window.

The moonlight was pouring in through the window, plading on her white clothes, like a layer of rippling water, and his plain clothes seemed to be smart.

Hua Xiyan put his hands around his chest, stood on the spot against the table, raised his eyebrows and said with a smile: "I didn't know that Yun Gongzi still has this habit of making noodles?" ”

Yun Qi stood up straight and walked slowly, and a room of white lotus seemed to bloom between the swings of the moire clothes.

"That's also about dividing people, isn't it? If Princess Changyan needs to face her head, she can't ask for it. Yun Qi stood opposite Hua Xiyan as she spoke, leaned down slightly, and saw her eyebrows and eyes that were becoming more and more blurred under the candlelight.

"In the middle of the night, I'm not afraid of being laughed at." Hua Xiyan pushed Yun Qi away with a smile and walked towards the bed.

"Hey, that's what you wanted." Yun Qi turned around and looked at Hua Xiyan with some grievances, "It's just that you were cold to me in front of me, do you want to be like this in this no-man's land now?" ”

These words seemed to contain all the grievances in the world, Hua Xiyan couldn't bear to listen to it anymore, so he rolled on the bed and rolled inside, winking at Yun Qi: "If you don't come to sleep, just stand down for a night." ”

Before the words fell, Yun Qi had already floated on the bed.

"It's not as comfortable as the warm jade bed in Taiyuan." Yun Qi said honestly.

Hua Xiyan nodded: "I have already transported the bed and put it in Rongchang Palace in the future." ”

Yun Qi didn't say anything more, and suddenly changed the topic: "What have you discovered these days?" ”

Hua Xiyan blinked, her long eyelashes hid most of the look in her eyes, and her voice was a little hoarse: "What is certain is that Princess Shushen has your marriage book in her hand." ”

"I didn't really believe it when you told me about this method at the beginning, but Princess Shushen and I accidentally mentioned it a few days ago, and I believed it was true."

It is said that there were five marriage letters in the testimony of the marriage contract at that time. Xiling's is in the hands of He Lanyue, and one is in the Yun family, and one is in the hands of Wen Xuanhou. I have never known the other two, but now I know that one is in the hands of Emperor Tianlong, and the other is in the hands of Concubine Xie Zhuang, and Concubine Xie Zhuang is given to Princess Shushen. ”

"At the beginning, the relationship between you and me was boiling, and these marriage writers naturally wanted to hold it tightly as a bargaining chip for negotiations with you in the future. If there is a gap between you and me, and it seems irreconcilable to outsiders, people with thoughts will be ready to move. Hua Xiyan explained clearly, "The person who holds your handle in his hand is naturally the most unwilling to be lonely, and now he is really stupid if he doesn't take advantage of the opportunity of you and me to quickly show his trump card and negotiate conditions with you." ”

In the past, although Princess Shushen liked Yun Qi, she was respectful and far away, but now she looks like she is rushing to paste it, which is really suspicious.

"The things in Princess Mingyue's hands have been destroyed by you, Wen Xuanhou is definitely on our side, I will deal with the Yun family, and there is also the old emperor and Princess Shushen's hands......" Yun Qi counted like this, and suddenly sighed faintly, "Zhiwei, it's hard work......"

Hua Xiyan snorted lightly and didn't say much.

Yun Qi's tone suddenly softened, with a heavy nasal voice, but it sounded more pleasant and low: "You had that attitude towards me before, I really thought you were going to abandon me." ”

Hua Xiyan glanced at him and was silent.

"If it weren't for the fact that I met Wang Yan later, Wang Yan said that he was afraid that there was an internal response in the palace, I really couldn't have imagined that you would have spoken coldly to me for others to see."

Hua Xiyan finally opened his mouth: "You patronize and regret yourself every day, where do you still have the time to pay attention to the people and things around you?" ”

"When did you think something was wrong with the palace?"

"I can't say it's wrong." Hua Xiyan blinked, trying to recall, "It's just that the news spread too fast." And I think if the two of us are like glue, Li Houyi will do something in a hurry to jump off the wall. Besides, not long after the accident in the Wen family, if she finds out that you have a relationship with Wen Chun, then it will be a big trouble. ”

"So I might as well act a little more distant from you, in this case, without your protection, Empress Li may think that I am much easier to deal with. The person who makes the first move is often the one who loses the opportunity, which can not only force her to make a move, but also make it less troublesome...... The most important thing is to be able to see who is in the hands of the marriage contract. ”

"In one fell swoop, if Empress Li knew that you were doing all this to her, I am afraid that she would be mad." Yun Qi stretched out his hand and stroked Huaxi's long black and straight hair, smiling like a profiteer.

Hua Xiyan rolled his eyes: "The first time you and I fell out in the palace, I am afraid that Empress Li will get the news not long after, and then he will control your every move, otherwise I would not dare to catch Wang Qingyu so blatantly and ask me to go to Luohuang Palace to talk about what the hell conditions." ”

"Do you know what terms she wants to negotiate with you?"

Hua Xiyan nodded: "I guess it's not to let me go back to the palace or something." ”

Thinking of today's Jinluan Palace, Empress Li looked at the atmosphere and annoyed expression of the national teacher, Hua Xiyan felt that something was wrong. In the afternoon, she also thought about it carefully, I am afraid that Empress Li doesn't want the national teacher to tell her identity at all! In other words, what the national teacher received today was not at the behest of Empress Li at all!

But anyone with some brains can see that Emperor Tianlong's style of acting has changed significantly from seventeen years ago, and some things were easy to say seventeen years ago, but they may not be useful now. wanted to use her life experience to suppress such a big matter as the Chen Jun Xie family, such a brainless idea was definitely not something that Empress Li came up with.

"Your identity is like this, innate, indelible, how can she stop it if she wants to?"

Hua Xiyan's eyes suddenly lit up, the water was moist, and Yun Qi could clearly see the reflection of herself in her eyes. I only heard her faint voice ringing in my ears: "Some things are indelible, just like you once risked your life for me." The emotion of life and death can eliminate all misunderstandings and estrangements. I know that you believe you, so it seems that Yun Qi is you who want to get out of the hurdle in your heart. ”

"The use and deception of me is like a sharp sword, piercing your heart, stabbing it painfully, the pain is unbearable, and it hurts to the heart, isn't it?"

At this moment, Yun Qi suddenly felt that there would never be a person in the world who knew him better than the woman in front of him.
