"What day?"

Nangong Yan's mind was still on the picture of Fang Caiyu Qiqi and Yan Shiqing's meeting, and asked her absentmindedly.

"It seems that His Highness's mind is no longer here with the concubine." Midori was upset.

Nangong Yan stared for a moment, then thought about it, and a smile flashed in his eyes, "I naturally remember, it was the day when my mother gave you to me." ”

"That's pretty much it." Midori sneered, leaning into his broad chest.

Nangong Yan rubbed her arm, "After the death of the concubine, that is, you have been with me." The affection for her in his words did not diminish in the slightest.

"Niangniang gave the concubine body to His Royal Highness, let the concubine take care of you and accompany you, and the concubine will not dare to forget it in this life." There was a little more choking in Midori's words.

Nangong Yan's eyes added softness, and he lowered his head and put a kiss on her forehead.

Midori chuckled lightly and leaned into his arms.

"How's the gifts for the various powerful sons and daughters?" As soon as he returned to the Proton Mansion, Yan Shiqing opened his mouth to ask Qingyu.

Qingyu lowered his head and replied, "It's all ready, but Shizi, will the things you ask your servants to prepare too cheap?" ”

What he called Qing Yu was nothing more than some common antiques in Yanjing City, which were neither valuable nor rare things.

Yan Shiqing's eyes deepened, and he asked him, "Do you think I really want to send something to them?" ”

"What if it weren't?"

Qingyu was even more puzzled.

"Holding this youth party is nothing more than wanting to make friends with more dignitaries. Now everyone regards me as a proton of Yanjing City, and if I don't give them gifts, it will seem that I have not corrected my identity. If you give them valuable gifts, you will definitely be ridiculed by them again, and a down-and-out son is still showing off in front of them. These antiques, although they are all ordinary things, are given according to their preferences. ”

Then, Yan Shiqing's eyes added a hint of cunning, "Moreover, someone saw that I was too conspicuous in the crowd that day, and they couldn't help but come to me for trouble." When the time comes, this youth party will be more interesting. ”

Lin Xiaohou of the Hou Mansion, who will also appear at the youth party that day, he has always been a troublemaker.

Qing Yu suddenly realized and exclaimed, "The mind of the prince is really meticulous. ”

"By the way, remember to prepare a bottle of plaster I brought from Nanzhao, and I will bring it to the seventh sister when the time comes." Yan Shiqing remembered Yu Qiqi's sore wrist and instructed him.

"Yes, the minion made a note of it." Qingyu nodded in agreement.

Yan Shiqing raised his eyebrows slightly, but when he remembered what Nangong Yan did to Yu Qiqi today, his heart was always uncomfortable.

The next day, the Empress Dowager called Yu Qiqi to the palace, saying that there was a new cook from Nanzhao in the imperial dining room, and she wanted her to taste her hometown cuisine.

Nangong Yan was busy with the affairs of the inner court and did not go over with her.

"Grandma, you treat your granddaughter-in-law so well." Yu Qiqi chewed on the familiar hometown food, and his face was full of satisfaction.

"You haven't eaten hometown food for a long time, this mouth must be hungry." The Empress Dowager kept putting vegetables into Yu Qiqi's bowl.

"It's a pity that these dishes are cold, and you can't eat them." After this meal, Yu Qiqi was eating by himself, and he was a little upset.

The Empress Dowager smiled kindly, "My wife can't eat anything, you have to eat more and grow more meat." "So that I can give birth to a big fat great-grandson, this is the subtext of the Queen Mother's heart.

Yu Qiqi only saw the vegetables in the bowl and ate a few more bites.

The Empress Dowager touched her head and asked, "Yan'er has treated you well lately?" ”

Yu Qiqi was stunned for a moment, "It's good." She replied casually, lying and prevaricating her.

"Then how did I hear that a few days ago he punished you for copying Buddhist scriptures again?" The Empress Dowager lowered her face.

"That's all because, because His Highness blamed me for causing Wanniang's slippery fetus and leaving an old disease with a heartache, so he punished me."

Yu Qiqi put down the chopsticks in his hand, lowered his head and whispered back.

The Empress Dowager sighed and wiped the corners of her mouth with a napkin, "You can whisper to Yan'er, but to Wanniang, you have to show the majesty of the crown princess." ”

"Grandma rest assured, this is what the granddaughter-in-law knows." Yu Qiqi's slightly curled eyelashes moved, and he looked at her eyes and replied.

When Lu Yin just returned to the East Palace, Zhao Niang told her.

"Well, you are a smart person, and you can do many things well without being taught by your grandmother." The Empress Dowager's face was smiling, and the worry in her eyes faded a little.

"It's the granddaughter-in-law who is not good, so the grandmother remembers it." Yu Qiqi's words added a little guilt.

The Empress Dowager made a straight face and refuted her, "You and Yan'er are fine." Nangong Yan is her favorite grandson, and she is the prince of the East Palace, so she can't help but miss it more.

Yu Qiqi blinked and nodded vigorously.

Out of the Empress Dowager's warm pavilion, when passing through the imperial garden, a black civet cat suddenly popped out of the flowers, ran under her skirt, rubbed Yu Qiqi's ankle, and startled her.

Ah Jian immediately pulled out the long sword in his hand and protected Yu Qiqi behind him.

"Wait!"

Not far away, a noble lady walked towards her, squatted down and picked up the civet cat on the ground, and said to her with a smile: "The tanuki in this palace has scared the princess, and I hope the princess will forgive her sins." ”

Yu Qiqi felt that her voice was a little familiar, but she couldn't remember where she had heard it, she stared at it, and only replied to her after a while, "It's okay." ”

Concubine Yi smiled softly, passed in front of her, and stroked the tanuki in her arms.

"Princess, how does she recognize you?" Ajian took a few steps back and stood beside her.

"Maybe I saw it at the palace banquet." Yu Qiqi frowned slightly, didn't think much about it, and left along the winding path of the Imperial Garden.

Concubine Yi turned her head and looked at the misty purple figure in the distance, and a fierceness flashed in her eyes.

As soon as she returned to the dormitory, Yu Qiqi felt dizzy and dizzy, and her heart palpitated, and after Zhao Niang bathed her, she climbed into bed.

It's just that as soon as she lay down, she had a nightmare, dreaming that Nanzhao's palace city was stained red with the blood of the clansmen, and she shouted loudly in the palace, 'Daddy, Auntie, brother!' But no one responded.

She ran to Daddy's bedroom, only to find Nangong Yan sitting on the throne with a long sword in his hand, and the blade was still dripping blood. On the ground, the bodies of her father and mother and six brothers were lying.

He smiled, stretched out a blood-stained hand to her, and said, "Qiqi, come here." ”

"No, no, don't..."Yu Qiqi sat on the ground and couldn't stop retreating.

Nangong Yan stood up and walked towards her step by step, the long sword cut a bloody mark on the ground, and the smile on his face did not fade for half a minute, with a shudder.

"Don't!"

Yu Qiqi screamed and sat up from the soft couch.

"What's going on?"

Nangong Yan sat on the edge of the pillow, looking at her sweating profusely, her brows furrowed.

He reached out to help her wipe the sweat from her face, and as soon as her fingers touched her hair, she suddenly raised her head and glared at him, her eyes bloodthirsty.

"It's you, it's you who killed my father and mother!"

Yu Qiqi roared, pulled out the long sword in Ah Jian's hand, and stabbed at Nangong Yan.
