King Xi heard the deliberately aggravated words "flesh and blood compatriots", and also tasted the taste, he turned his face sideways, his face flashed with a fierce and obedient aura, and his cheeks twitched slightly, but after a moment, he returned to normal, and even the smile in his eyes did not change, "The key under the palace gate cannot be opened lightly, of course I know this, if it is just me, of course, I will go back to my house to sleep first, and I will meet the imperial brother tomorrow...... But with a delicate guest here, how can I bring someone back and ruin her reputation? ”

He pointed to the small sedan chair behind him, and Ruan Qi couldn't help but be slightly stunned, "......Who is this?" ”

"This is the queen mother's mother's family, the second daughter of the Pingzhou Wang family."

King Xi smiled even deeper, and his eyes flashed with a festive ambiguity, "The Queen Mother eats fasting and recites Buddha in Wutai Mountain, but she has been worried that the emperor's heirs will be difficult and will not be able to sleep at night, so she summoned her mother's relatives, looked at the young ladies one by one, and specially selected the most virtuous and gentle one, and hurriedly sent me to the palace - she still has something to tell the imperial brother." ”

His remarks were reasonable, and everyone originally saw him breaking into the palace gate at night, and secretly laughed at him for not knowing the checkpoints, but they never thought that he actually had the queen mother!

From this point of view, it is understandable that he is in a hurry to send people into the palace - if he really places this noble girl in his mansion, it will be really rude and shameless, and once the rumors are provoked, even the emperor will lose face.

Ruan Qi listened to his high-sounding explanation, and suddenly froze. Under the light of the fire, her beautiful eyes were unconsciously dimmed, and then she looked deeply at the small sedan chair, as if she wanted to see all those draped curtains.

"General...... Checkmate?! ”

King Xi's eyes flashed with fun and playfulness, and then called out repeatedly, Ruan Qi just woke up like a dream, she blinked, as if she was uncomfortable by Songming's smoke, closed her eyes for a while before opening them again, but her voice was a little low and hoarse, "Although it was given by the Queen Mother, but after all, it is a person outside the palace, and it is difficult to settle in the palace in the middle of the night, and if it is to blame, the general will not be able to afford it." ”

She paused and said, "Why don't you ask Miss Wang to rest in the post house for the time being, and I will immediately send someone to serve, wouldn't it be appropriate for both of them?" ”

She secretly wondered: Long live the night and have not returned, how can such a person of unknown origin be introduced into the inner palace at will without his consent?

So although the tone was humble and polite, he was still reluctant to open the palace door, and he was in a stalemate, but he heard someone in the sedan chair whisper softly: "What is this sister called?" ”

"The young lady is serious...... This general is just a martial artist, and he is the right general of Shenwu, so he really can't afford your sister. ”

Ruan Qi's voice was cold and indifferent, although she couldn't see her expression, everyone also felt that her tone was too cold and straight, someone looked at her, but she ignored it, and the iron face flashed with a cold and hideous cold light under the lamplight.

The woman in the sedan chair was not angry at all, but said with a smile: "It turned out to be a woman in the middle of the women, which really makes me ashamed and admired." ”

Her tone changed, but Rouwan was unusually firm, "The general is in danger of the imperial city, I am just a little woman, how dare I work for the general to work for me - the people in the post house must have also slept, and it is not a good thing to disturb them." ”

Under the low hanging of the curtain, she turned her head sideways and instructed the maid who was accompanying the sedan chair: "Turn the sedan chair and turn back, let's stay away from the palace gate and wait under the approach bridge—it's the end of the day, and it's not a few hours before dawn." ”

Ruan Qi was silent, but she knew in her heart that the other party was advancing by retreating - after all, she was a relative of the Queen Mother, and she was given by Yi Zhi, so she really let her go under the bridge to suffer from the cold in the middle of the night, but she was afraid that the imperial historian would impeach herself for disobeying the Queen Mother, and she had ill intentions - even the emperor would be embarrassed at that time.

Do you really want to let her in?

Ruan Qi was in a dilemma, but he heard someone chuckle not far from the palace gate, "It's so lively, so many people are lined up to welcome me?" ”

Everyone raised their eyes and saw Xue Wen jumping off the horse with a big laugh, and walked towards this side as soon as he pulled his sleeves, followed by a person in civilian clothes and a hood, and his face could not be seen clearly.

Xue Wen ignored the tense atmosphere at the scene, he smirked, and came to Ruan Qi, "My urgent official business has been completed, Your Majesty said that as soon as there is a result, no matter how late it is, you must inform him, Seventh Sister, you can report it for me." ”

He winked at Ruan Qi, his jaw slightly imperceptible. Although Ruan Qi was silent, he was not a stupid person, and he could see at a glance who the person behind him was, so he took advantage of the situation and said: "Since Banzai commanded, then I will immediately order someone to get the gold key, and His Royal Highness King Xi and Miss Wang can also enter the palace together." ”

The sound of the car sounded slowly, but it was far behind Xue Wen and the two - who is the hooded guest, it seems that King Xi is also clear in his heart, but everyone is a smart person, so why bother to say it?

****

Emperor Zhaoyuan returned to the palace, although he was quite tired, but he flipped left and right, and he couldn't sleep for a long time.

In the dark, he stared blankly at the embroidery patterns on the brocade tent, only to feel that what had happened during this day was too unbelievable, like a dream.

But he knew that this was not a dream, and in the deep courtyard of the flower path, the mysterious and wild laughter of the young man seemed to still echo in his ears-

"Is it the hardest thing to accept the grace of a beauty?"

He muttered the last sentence that seemed to be a joke and a hint, and his eyes were shining, and he was unconsciously distracted, completely sleepy.

So he simply got up, and the people who were waiting on the left and right were also clever, and seeing that he was not sleepy, he stepped forward to report: "King Xi has left the palace, and the young lady of the Wang family has also settled in Muhe Palace." ”

Emperor Zhaoyuan was originally absent-minded when he heard it, but his eyes flashed at this time, "Who let her live there?" ”

"Yes...... It's Chen Shanggong. ”

The master of ceremonies and eunuchs saw that his face was not good, his eyes were gloomy as if they were endlessly cold, and his heart was beating wildly, and he trembled.

Emperor Zhaoyuan smiled coldly, but he didn't speak anymore, and everyone was worried in their hearts, and they retreated to the side with bated breath.

This night was really evil, and after a while, someone came to report in front of the gate of Weiyang Palace, whispering to the master of ceremonies and eunuchs under the corridor, and Emperor Zhaoyuan said impatiently: "What are you talking about?" ”

"Yes, it's the Miss Wang!"

The master of ceremonies and eunuchs were swept away by him, and suddenly he couldn't even speak, "She, she said-"

“……！！”

Emperor Zhaoyuan's eyes were darker, and before he could get angry, the master of ceremonies and eunuchs were ruthless, and said in one breath: "She said that the night is long, and she must have no intention of sleeping, so it is better to talk to her." ”

The hall was silent.

Everyone didn't dare to look at Emperor Zhaoyuan's face, and for a long time, they heard him say: "Go and invite her in." ”

After half a moment, someone was introduced by the palace lamp, carrying only a maid, and worshipping at the foot of the stone steps, with a crisp and serene voice, "Long live." ”

Emperor Zhaoyuan glanced up, but did not answer, nor did he call out.

The Yingying figure got up on its own, and the weak willow got closer and closer like the wind, and the bright skirt of the Shu brocade thousand heavy vermilion patterns was faintly visible between the half-opened palace doors.

"The concubine is Muling of the Wang family, and I have seen long live."
