Cangqiu Country.

The capital is Yicheng.

Early morning.

The cars on Yujiang Street are like flowing water, and people come and go.

A horse-drawn carriage with the Sakura Mansion sign drove down the long street, and pedestrians on the road avoided it.

Yan Ying sat in the carriage and looked at the letter in her hand.

At this moment, the carriage suddenly slowed down, and then stopped, at first Yan Ying didn't care, but after a while, the sound of quicksand came from outside the carriage:

"Master."

"What's the matter?"

Quicksand entered the carriage with a notice-like object in his hand. Yan Ying was slightly stunned, put down the letter in her hand, frowned, and took it.

"This is posted on the outer wall of Quanning Fang, and a group of people are looking around." Quicksand said.

Yan Ying's pale face was still pale after reading the contents of the notice.

He was silent for a while, then smiled: "This time, she is in big trouble." ”

Quicksand couldn't tell his attitude towards this matter from his expression, and inexplicably a little urgent, asked:

"Master, how to deal with this matter, this notice has been posted on the wall for a while, and many people have seen it."

"If you see it, you see it." Yan Ying said disappreciatively.

"But Her Royal Highness the Princess......" Quicksand said it in a hurry, and when he was halfway through speaking, he felt that he shouldn't say this, so he swallowed the second half of the words back.

"What does Her Royal Highness have to do with me?" Yan Ying said lightly, lifted the curtain and looked out of the carriage, "Isn't she married, and if she does, someone will naturally protect her, if the man doesn't protect her, then she can only be blamed for being clumsy." He withdrew his gaze from the boiling crowd, glanced at the dignified face of the quicksand, and said with a smile, "Are you thinking about Si Shi?" ”

"No, my subordinates ......"

"If you think about her again, she won't come with you, she doesn't take you to heart at all, otherwise she won't even have time to be sad, how can she have time to fight against you frequently, and when she finds another man, she will forget whether you are round or flat. There are so many women, how many do you want, why bother to remember one with the old one? ”

Quicksand listened and felt that the master didn't seem to be talking about him, but he didn't dare to ask, so he answered "yes" honestly and went out.

Yan Ying sat in the carriage, looking at the notice in his hand and the letter he had just read with the news that Emperor Long Xi had announced his marriage to the Phoenix Lord of the Phoenix Kingdom, he stared at the two pieces of paper for a while, and then crumpled them together and threw them aside.

The carriage entered the Sakura Palace, and Yan Zhong quickly greeted him and said in a low voice:

"Master, Empress Dowager Gu is here, and she is in Xue Lanxuan."

Yan Ying's eyes sank.

He was not in a hurry, he went back to the room first, took off his clothes for going out, changed into a pale purple ancient satin robe, and came to Xue Lanxuan unhurriedly, crossing the threshold.

Empress Dowager Gu Pan put on a black cloak, was sitting on a chair drinking tea gracefully, saw him come in, put down the teacup, and smiled at him.

Gu Pan is four years older than Yan Ying, and today he is Chinese New Year's Eve, and the charm still exists. Her appearance is both standard and gorgeous, willow eyebrows, red phoenix eyes, Qiong nose and cherry lips, and her neck is slender and beautiful, but the corners of her eyes and eyebrows have a touch of natural sharpness. She is not the kind of person who is cold and strong, on the contrary, she is reasonable, mature and sleek, this is a woman who wants to be noble and noble, be kind and kind, and can release a gentle breath and can make people get along well with her, but she has a ruthlessness in her bones, and her point reminds Yan Ying of Si Tong inexplicably.

"See the Queen Mother." Yan Ying bowed casually.

Gu Panyu sat on the chair, her eyes flashed with joy, and she asked him with a smile:

"Where have you been?"

Yan Ying didn't answer, he glanced at her, it seemed respectful, but there was no respect in his tone, he said lightly:

"The Queen Mother shouldn't have come here."

Gu Panwan smiled, ignored his words, and said:

"When I came, I saw a notice posted outside Quanning Fang, I don't know who posted it, your little girl, her rumors have spread to Yicheng."

Yan Ying's face was expressionless and she did not speak.

"Before anyone came, there were such terrible rumors, which made me want to see her even more." Gu Pan said with a smile.

Yan Ying was still speechless.

Gu Pan didn't care about his coldness, she stood up, her gait was graceful, the lotus step moved lightly, came to Yan Ying, her slender fingertips fell on his placket, slid down gently, and finally picked up the jade pendant he tied around her waist, while looking at the tassel on it, she opened her mouth casually, and asked with a smile:

"It is rumored that the phoenix lord of the phoenix underworld is captivating the country and the city, according to the king of the cherry blossoms, who is more beautiful between me and the phoenix lord?"

"She's beautiful." Yan Ying replied lightly, without hesitation at all. Compared with appearance, it seems petty to ask it bluntly, who is not good to compare, but to compare with Chenguang, for him, Chenguang's whole body can only see her face.

Gu Pan's hand fiddling with the tassel stiffened slightly, a touch of anger flashed in the lowered phoenix eyes, paused, she smiled, continued to stroke the tassel tassel on the jade pendant, raised her face, and asked him with a smile:

"It's going to be five kingdoms soon, you say, if I fight her, who will have the upper hand?"

"You'd better not fight her." Yan Ying looked down at her and said coldly, his tone was full of warnings, he was warning her not to cause trouble.

This look back was really angry, she frowned, and asked unhappily:

"Why? Where am I inferior to her? ”

In the face of her annoyed questioning, Yan Ying just sneered, he looked at her, and said disappreciably in a lazy tone:

"The difference is that without me, she is still the phoenix lord of the Phoenix Netherworld, the king who holds the real power of the Feng Netherworld Kingdom. And you, without me, are nothing. ”

As he spoke, he didn't care about her feelings at all, and coldly snatched away the jade tassel she was twisting in her hand.

Gu Pan looked up at him, a pair of bright eyes flickered brightly, and after a while, she lightly hooked her lips.

"Hearing you say that, I want to see her even more."

After a pause, she smiled again and said lightly:

"The yarn on your jade pendant is old, I'll give you a new one."

After that, without waiting for Yan Ying to answer, she put on the hood on her cloak and went straight out.

Yan Ying turned around unhurriedly and whispered in the direction of Gu Pan's departure:

"Congratulations to the Queen Mother."

……

Chiyang Country.

Lingwang Mansion.

Dou Xuan stared back and forth at the notice spread on the table a few times, and after a while, he burst out laughing, and he looked at the notice paper and smiled happily.

"Interesting, His Royal Highness Lord Feng, it's a little interesting!" He said with a weird smile.

……

Chenguang set off from Hanjing, came to the intersection with Yanyun Kingdom, crossed Yanyun Country after customs clearance, and arrived at Xingling, the capital of Yanyun Kingdom, and ran straight to the palace to harass Duanmu Yan, who was uneasy when he saw her.
