Zhao Yan was talking with the ceremonial officials to determine the sacrificial matters. The crown of the Son of Heaven is cumbersome and solemn, the hosta is Zhu Ying, and twelve jade beads hang down before and after, and his face is handsome and dazzling.

The eunuch whispered in his ear about Concubine Qi Shu, nervously waiting for Zhao Yan's reaction, for fear that he would be angry. Who knew that the Son of Heaven just smiled slightly and asked him, "What do you think?" ”

"The minister doesn't dare to speak up." The eunuch was disgraced.

"It's okay, that's what you say." Zhao Yan wrote lightly as he descended the steps.

The eunuch was silent for a long time before he said: "Princess Yu seems to want to calm things down, but later she was angered by Concubine Shu and others, and her face is not very good-looking. ”

He was merely stating the facts.

Zhao Yan smiled and did not speak.

There was still a stalemate, but the atmosphere had changed a little.

Yixuan sat in the shade of the tree, sipping tea slowly, looking very leisurely. There seemed to be a barrier around her, shielding out the invective and slander. Slowly, the voices went down.

Zhao Yan is here.

Handing the teacup to Shuang'er, Yixuan stood up and saluted in the direction of Zhao Yan. Zhao Yan's gaze crossed everyone and fell straight on her face.

He smiled slightly, looked away again, and looked at Qi Chaoyun who was kneeling in front of him.

Qi Chaoyun's crying makeup was lost, his sideburns were scattered, and his tears were wet.

completely lost the concubine's demeanor.

Zhao Yan frowned, and said with a cold expression: "It's not embarrassing enough? ”

Qi Chaoyun's crying had gradually stopped, and when he saw Zhao Yan, he cried loudly again, wanting to take the opportunity to win Zhao Yan's sympathy and regain his favor.

Who knows that Zhao Yan doesn't eat this set.

He has always been a moody person.

Qi Chaoyun didn't dare to cry anymore, he looked at him at a loss and sobbed gently, lowered his eyes and said, "The concubine has lost her manners, please forgive your highness." ”

She was born fair-skinned and delicate, and at this time she was even more touching like rain hitting pear blossoms. The other concubines stretched out their hands to her to help her up, but she didn't see the general, her hands on the ground, and she couldn't get up.

Zhao Yan stretched out his hand to her.

Qi Chaoyun was overjoyed in his heart, and was about to put his hand in Zhao Yan's palm in shame, but Zhao Yan took it back again, looked at her mockingly, and said, "Concubine Shu just cried, why can't she even stand up?" ”

Qi Chaoyun was stunned, and he didn't know how to answer.

Zhao Yan stared at her lightly and cut his hand behind his back. Qi Chaoyunqi is not, and he can't afford it. There were concubines who wanted to come to relieve the siege, so Zhao Yan stopped: "No one is allowed to help her." ”

Qi Chaoyun couldn't help but reddened his eyes when he saw that Zhao Yan was deliberately targeting him, but he didn't dare to really cry. hateful glanced at Yixuan, and then stood up slowly, very weak and pitiful.

"That's good." Zhao Yan smiled and patted her on the shoulder.

Yi Xuan watched with interest, and was amused in her heart - Zhao Yan's narrow temperament is really unchanged at all!

She walked this way.

"Your Majesty." She bowed her head, her tone was gentle, and she couldn't hear the slightest anger: "It's been long enough for the concubine to bear this trumped-up charge. It is not important that the concubine is slandered, what matters is the royal face. Since the concubine is a royal wife, she naturally has to consider the heavenly family solemnly - these rumors are indulgent. ”

Zhao Yan looked at her and smiled. What a big breath! Such righteous words, in the final analysis, are not for themselves?

He raised his tone of voice with an "oh" and asked, "What does the princess think?" ”

Yixuan raised her head and stared at him silently.

He deliberately played sloppy with her! This kind of thing, as long as he gives a strict order to reprimand, and then pretends to punish a few people who are in the early stages, it will naturally be settled.

What's more, Zhao Yan squeezed out Zhao Shen to ascend the throne back then, which already aroused the dissatisfaction of many princelings and literati, and the remarks blaming him for usurping the throne openly and secretly emerged one after another, and in the end, it was she who suppressed it with an iron fist.

If Zhao Yan didn't even understand this, the emperor of all these years would be in vain.

She owes herself, "Concubines and women, how can you have any high opinions?" If Your Majesty really cares about the royal face, naturally, there is a way. ”

The complaining meaning in her tone was obvious, Zhao Yan was not angry, but couldn't help but smile: "The princess is really a wonderful person. ”

"Thank you, Your Majesty, for the compliment."

"If you want me to give you this face, you can." Zhao Yan took a few steps forward, Yi Xuan followed, and the two deviated from the crowd. But Zhao Yan didn't go far, and stopped in a place where everyone could see it, but couldn't hear the sound.

Yixuan took a deep breath, "Your Majesty has the conditions?" ”

Zhao Yan smiled, "Don't embarrass you." I just want to know, why did King Yu take Zhao Shen to the capital? What is there in his hands that can threaten me? ”

Zhao Yan rescued Zhang Xu, Jiang Qibai and others, and naturally knew all the arrangements of Yixuan on the wedding day. However, he thought that those were all Wen Changbai's plans.

"Your Majesty is afraid that you have asked the wrong person. Everything was arranged by Uncle Changbai, and it had nothing to do with the concubine. ”

Zhao Yan raised his eyebrows, and his ink-like eyes also smiled a little: "Of course I know." I've already asked Wen Shi about it. But he didn't know the person of King Yu...... Isn't it you the closest to King Yu? ”

Yixuan frowned.

She didn't want to tell Zhao Yan about the secret edict. Zhao Yan's temperament is paranoid, and he may do something terrible.

"The concubine doesn't ask about the affairs of the court, and His Majesty asks me, which is tantamount to playing the piano to a cow."

Zhao Yan's smile cooled, "You really don't say it?" ”

"I don't know, what do you say?" Yi Xuan asked rhetorically.

She glanced at the crowd, and the concubines all looked like they were going to swallow her, for fear that their emperor would be seduced by her. Yi Xuan pouted and said, "Your Majesty should avoid suspicion." The concubine doesn't want to provoke any more mothers who are unhappy. ”

With that, she turned and left.

This girl is not very old, and she has a bad temper.

At this time, a eunuch came to remind Zhao Yan: "Your Majesty, it's almost time, you better hurry up......

Zhao Yan pondered for a moment, told the eunuch a few words, and left.

Yixuan originally thought that Zhao Yan would not help her today - because he didn't get what he wanted. Who knew that Zhao Yan gave her a big gift.

Concubine Qi was demoted to Zhaoyi, and the rest of the people who insulted and slandered Princess Yu were grounded for a month, and the palace maids each slapped their mouths ten times.

When Yixuan heard the news, the ceremony had already passed, and it was almost noon. The civil and military officials dispersed one after another, leaving only the royal bloodlines such as princes and county kings, and they wanted to return to the palace to worship again.

Yixuan waited for Zhao Zhen in place. Wei Xiang walked up to her and told her the news with a strange expression.

She wasn't much of a pleaser. I folded the leaves of the privet and put it on my nose to sniff. His eyes looked at the blue sky, thoughtful.

Zhao Yan is such a shrewd person, what is the purpose of helping her with great fanfare?

Royal face?

Forget it...... When you think about it, you know it's impossible.

Zhao Yan has always planned carefully, if he doesn't play cards according to common sense, he must be planning something else.

Terrible.

Shuang'er said happily: "I finally got out of my bad breath for the princess!" Concubine Qi Shufei sees people talking to people, and her ability to talk nonsense is really good! Downgraded two levels in a row, look at the people in this palace, who dares to chew the root of the tongue! ”

Yixuan glanced at her: "Don't talk nonsense. ”

Don't you think she's not eye-catching enough now?

Shuang'er stuck out her tongue, glanced at Wei Xiang hesitantly, lowered her head, and leaned into Yixuan's ear and said, "Princess, when the ceremony was just now, I was standing on the side and heard the conversation between the two fathers-in-law. ”

It's certainly not a good thing to be mysterious.

"Lord Wei, go and see where the prince is." Yi Xuan touched his hands and said.

Separate the irrelevant people, so that their masters and servants can speak.

Wei Xiangmu had a wooden face, and there was no emotion in his eyes, he bent over like a puppet and left.

"The minister retired."

He knew that he had no friendship with her now. Her defensiveness, hostility, and indifference to him were all taken for granted.

Yixuan watched him walk away, and then asked Shuang'er with confidence: "What's the matter?" ”

"You may not believe it." Shuang'er bit her lip, this matter is too unbelievable, "They said that in the coffin of Empress Jiarou, it was not Queen Jiarou at all......"

"What did you say!" Yi Xuan was startled, and her voice unconsciously raised a lot. After reacting, he took a deep breath and said as loudly as he could, "Go on." ”

"Those two fathers-in-law are working in the Ministry of Rites, and what they say is not clear, and I don't understand much. Roughly speaking, King Yu sent the coffin to the Ministry of Rites, and according to the rules, the people of the Ministry of Rites should put on air cannons for the queen and paint makeup. However, the palace maid who dressed up for the queen disappeared that day......"

Yi Xuan was a little creepy, "That palace maid...... He's dead? ”

"I don't know." Shuang'er's expression was serious, "They guess it's haunted." One day, I sneaked into the room where the coffin was kept, pushed it open and took a look. Princess, guess what! ”

Yixuan was stunned when she heard this, and her heart beat extremely fast, like when her brother scared her with ghost stories. She glared at Shuang'er: "Say it quickly!" ”

"What is in the coffin is not the queen mother at all, but a woman with a very ordinary face." In order to support his statement, Shuang'er added: "They have seen the queen and will not admit their mistake." ”

Yixuan is under a lot of psychological pressure. Listening to a ghost story of your own, it's strange not to be frightened! She opened the teacup and took a sip of tea to suppress her shock.

"Princess?" Shuang'er hesitated, "Are you okay?" ”

Yixuan took a deep breath and looked at her helplessly, "Let me be quiet for a while." ”

Shuang'er obediently closed her mouth.

Yi Xuan sat in a daze for a while, and suddenly asked again: "After they found out, didn't they go to report to the people above?" ”

"How dare they? This matter is useless to say well, and it is a big sin to lose your head if you say it is bad. Shuang'er shook her head.

Indeed, this is the reason.

Yixuan became sad, if the person in the coffin was not her, then where was her body? Where did the palace maid go? This is a mystery, and she really can't figure it out.

She was at a loss, but Zhao Zhen ended the matter on the altar and came over. Yixuan pinched herself - she must be calm, she must not show her feet!

"What's wrong?" Zhao Zhen felt that the girl was stupid. Stretched out his hand and shook it twice in front of her.

"It's fine." Yixuan's head was dizzy. She stood up, her body staggering a little unsteadily, and plunged into Zhao Zhen's chest.
