It was a face that Chu Ye would never forget no matter what.

The man killed her child, slaughtered her clan, and threw her into a catastrophe from which she could not survive!

Qi Lian!

Chu Ye is an envoy, but Sima Jin is a prince. Therefore, Sima Jin walked in front of the palace this time. But somehow, Sima Jin, who was walking in front, seemed to have eyes behind him, knowing Chu Ye's every move. He secretly took a half step back and held Chu Ye's hand.

There was a sudden warm feeling in the palm of his hand, and Chu Ye naturally knew what the situation was.

She suddenly found that every time her mood fluctuated, Sima Jin would hold her hand in time and unconditionally, as if to give her encouragement.

It was a familiar feeling, but it felt different.

In her previous life, Qi Lian could always sense her every move, and she once thought that this was their heart. After knowing it, she found out that the reason why Qi Lian was able to know was because he arranged spies by her side to monitor her at all times.

But Sima Jin is different, he seems to really have a heart for her, and encourages her.

Thinking of this, she chuckled.

Sima Jin heard her laughter and suddenly stopped.

Even though he knew that Sima Jin did things according to his mood, he never distinguished the occasion. I never thought that Sima Jin would pick her up in Dongyao's imperial garden and carry her around on his shoulders.

"Hurry up and let me down!"

Sima Jin obediently let her down.

"What a mess!"

Chu Ye's words were serious, but he unconsciously bent the corners of his mouth, and walked towards the white jade steps, Sima Jin took half a step and walked slowly beside her, dividing flowers and brushing willows, and ascending to the pavilion, Qi Lian's eyebrows and eyes became clearer.

He sat on a tall mahogany stool, drank all the wine in his hand, and poured another cup with a pot, Sima Jin saw that he didn't speak, brushed his clothes and said half-salute: "The Seven Princes of the Western Jin Dynasty, I have seen His Majesty Emperor Dongyao." ”

After speaking, without waiting for Qi Lian to symbolically raise his hand, he pulled a stool and sat down.

Qi Lian lowered his eyes slightly, turned to look at Chu Ye, Chu Ye pursed his lips and arched his hand: "Chu Ye, the envoy of the Western Jin Dynasty, has seen Emperor Dongyao." ”

Qi Lian played with the wine glass in his hand, and sneered: "Chu Ye? That's a good name. Reminds me of an acquaintance. ”

Chu Ye's face did not change, and his tone was flat: "Emperor Dongyao's acquaintance, his identity must be very noble." ”

Qi Lian showed nostalgia on his face, but was quickly replaced by a trace of resentment.

A hint of gloom flashed in his eyes, and the corners of his mouth were slightly hooked, revealing an indescribably strange smile.

Chu Ye had a loud alarm bell in his heart, and he was about to speak. Suddenly, Sima Jin pulled Chu Shan and Chu Shan in front of him, and urged in a low voice: "Xiao Shan, haven't you seen Emperor Tanglin soon!" ”

Chu Shan obeyed his words and saluted Qi Lian with a sweet smile.

Qi Lian was a little surprised, after all, no envoy would send a child.

He smiled awkwardly and asked thoughtfully, "......Who is this?"

"This is the illegitimate son of this prince, Chu Shan!"

Sima Jin said loudly, not ashamed, but proud.

Listening to Sima Jin's reply, Qi Lian felt disgusted in his heart, but he still forced a smile and rubbed Xiao Chushan's head.

Chu Ye looked disgusted and looked away.

Gao Zhuo came up from under the pavilion and leaned into Qi Lian's ear and didn't know what to say. Qi Lianqiang's pretended smile disappeared completely, and he didn't even take into account that Chu Ye and Sima Jin were still present.

After Gao Zhuo finished reporting, he got Qi Lian's response again, and stepped on the rags and retreated. But when he passed by Chu Ye's side, he paused visibly and let out a small whimper.

Chu Ye's heart was sour, but he still smiled and bowed slightly to him.

She married into the palace at the age of fourteen, although Qi Lian protected her at that time, but in the back house, plus Qi Lian didn't really love him, it was inevitable that some concubines who were not long-sighted would bother her. At that time, it was Gao Zhuo who mediated so that she would not be hurt in the battle in the inner house.

I heard that Gao Zhuo had a daughter before he entered the house, but his daughter went early after she got married, so Gao Zhuo has always loved her as a daughter in his heart. Chu Ye is also grateful to Gao Zhuo, she once thought about releasing Gao Zhuo out of the palace to support the elderly after Sheng'er was born. His daughter left him a grandson, and let him go out of the palace and enjoy the joy of family.

At least before this idea could be realized, she was buried in Feng'an Palace.

"Emperor Dongyao, Lord Chu has also stood for a long time, although he is just a small three-grade squire, he is also the humerus of my Western Jin Dynasty!"

"Chu envoys, please take a seat."

Qi Lian intercepted Sima Jin's words and took the first step to invite Chu Ye into the seat.

Chu Ye gathered his mind and sat down on the chair beside Sima Jin generously.

Qi Lian turned around and instructed Gong E, who was standing on the side, to put the dishes on the table, Sima Jin took advantage of this gap to come to Chu Ye's side and whispered: "How about Xiao Yezi, I'm doing a good job!" ”

Chu Yebai glanced at him: "Don't think I'll forgive you so easily!" ”

"Uh-huh."

Qi Lian coughed lightly on the side, and Chu Ye hurriedly pushed Sima Jin away from his side and straightened his clothes.

Sima Jin's face was normal, and he learned from Chu Ye to arrange his sleeves decently, and then sat next to him with Chu Shan in his arms.

"I didn't expect that the Seventh Prince and Lord Chu have a lot of relationship."

"Don't bother Emperor Dongyao, this prince and Lord Chu are childhood sweethearts and grew up together."

Qi Lian's embarrassed smile froze on his face, and he didn't know how to take Sima Jin's words.

Gao Zhuo stepped on the white jade steps again, and reported in a sharp voice: "Your Majesty, the third prince asks to see you." ”

Qi Lian's eyebrows frowned slightly, but he also knew that some emotions could not be revealed in front of Sima Jin and Chu Ye, so he replied loudly: "Let him come up." ”

Then there was a rush and heavy footsteps, and the third prince panted and climbed to the pavilion, and fell to the ground with a "plop": "Father, the son is wronged!" ”

Sima Jin raised his chopsticks without caring about himself, started precisely, pinched the tender meat on the belly of the fish, and carefully picked out the fish bones and put them on the plate in front of Chu Ye.

Chu Shan writhed restlessly on Sima Jin's body, as if he was very curious about everything that happened in front of him.

Qi Lian glanced at the third prince Qi Yue impatiently, waved his sleeves and said, "I have a banquet today, you can go back first." ”

Who knew that Qi Yue insisted on kneeling by the pavilion and kowtowed to Qi Lian: "Father, please ask your father to allow his sons to defend themselves, and it is not too late to sentence his sons and daughters!" ”

Chu Ye picked up the wine glass in front of her, covered her face with her sleeves, and took a small sip, blocking the schadenfreude that flashed on her face.

Qi Lian was confused by him, but he still cared about Sima Jin and the others. I saw that he gave Gao Zhuo a look, Gao Zhuo understood, and stepped forward to persuade: "Third Highness, can you wait in the imperial study for a while?" ”

As he spoke, he was about to touch Qi Yue's arm and help him up.

Who knew that Qi Yue waved Gao Zhuo's hand like crazy, took a few steps forward, bypassed Chu Ye, and directly grabbed the hem of Qi Lian's clothes.

"Father, father! Erchen really likes Junyu! Ask your father to fulfill your sons! ”

As soon as the word is out, the stone is shattered!

Chu Ye smiled even more in his heart, but Gao Zhuo was so shocked that he didn't have time to dust off his body, so he pounced directly and covered Qi Yue's mouth.

Qi Lian has a handsome face, his facial features are distorted, and his eyes are full of anger!

He had already learned that Wei Junyu was hidden by Qi Yue in the Three Princes' Mansion, but he didn't expect that Qi Yue, the rebel, would secretly cross Chen Cang with that slut and do a bad thing!

And he—Qi Lian stared at Qi Yue with cold eyes—even had the face to beg him to be fulfilled!

Parent-child and stepmother rumored to have an affair, which made him have the face to face the people of the world!

With a "snap", the wine glass slipped from Chu Ye's hand and fell to the ground, shattering into slag.

Chu Ye looked shocked, looked at Qi Lian apologetically, Qi Lian woke up like a dream, and then looked at Qi Yue's eyes even colder!

Unfilial son!

Evil creature!

He even told this matter in front of the envoys of other countries!

I really don't leave him any face!

"Gao Zhuo, don't send someone to clean up this mess! Take three more envoys down to change their clothes! ”

Gao Zhuo let go of Qi Yue, his face reluctant.

This is the bloodline left by the Chu family in the world!

Except for that master, I am afraid that only the third prince has the blood of the Chu family, and he wants to watch His Royal Highness the Third Prince being punished by His Royal Highness, or even executed! He is so patient?

Do you want to do it like you did to the master?

"Gao Zhuo!"

Qi Lian's displeased voice came again, Rao is Gao Zhuo was reluctant, but he was helpless as a slave. had to lead Sima Jin and the three out of the pavilion.

"Father-in-law Gao, I didn't expect that the relationship between you and His Royal Highness the Third Prince would be so close."

Gao Zhuo's face did not change, and his tone was calm.

"Lord Chu laughed, the old slave has served by His Majesty's side for many years, and every prince can be said to have grown up with an old slave."

Chu Ye sneered, not speaking.

Sima Jin pulled Chu Shan to walk beside Chu Ye, and he always had an indescribable feeling of strangeness.

It seems that Chu Ye is very familiar with everything in Dongyao Palace, and it is not the first time he has come.

Everyone stopped in front of an embroidery pavilion, and Gao Zhuo pointed to the courtyard gate and said to Chu Ye.

"Lord Chu, please ask Lord Chu to change your clothes here. The old slave has sent someone to put the new clothes inside. ”

Chu Ye responded with a smile and stepped into the embroidery pavilion.

"His Royal Highness the Prince and Little Miss, please wait in this room for a while, presumably Lord Chu will have to change for a while."

Sima Jin glanced at Chu Ye's back with a complicated expression, and took Chu Shan into the side room.

In the house, Gao Zhuo had already ordered someone to prepare melon and fruit tea, and Sima Jin picked a piece of honeydew melon and stuffed it into Chu Shan's mouth.

"Look, sure enough, it's still Dongyao's outstanding people, and in this winter, there are even honey melons to worship."

Chu Shan chewed the melon and nodded approvingly.

Gao Zhuo held a tray and followed Sima Jin into the house: "The Seven Princes of the Western Jin Dynasty, there is no earth dragon in this house, it may be a little cold, the old slave ordered people to prepare a few hand stoves to keep warm, and please don't blame Your Highness." ”

"Grandpa Gao laughed."

Sima Jin took the hand stove, stuffed one and put it in Chu Shan's hand, and took another one to hold for himself.

He looked at the room, and on the top of the glass, a phoenix with wings was depicted with gold dust, and a pearl was held in its mouth, illuminating the whole room. Around the golden phoenix, hundreds of birds worship, the grand occasion is unprecedented. The jasper pillar is also carved with the phoenix in the method of carving, the overall color of the phoenix is different from the gold on the top, and the jade material is infused without knowing what is injected, and the phoenix appears fiery red.

It's extravagant.

Even a small embroidered pavilion side house is so intricately decorated, the main house is probably not made of gold nuggets.

Sima Jin retracted his gaze and said lightly to Gao Zhuo: "This embroidery pavilion is so gorgeously decorated, I don't know that the noble man once lived here." ”

Gao Zhuo also took a general look at the room, and his eyes showed a deep sense of nostalgia.

"It's not a secret, this room is the embroidery pavilion when the first queen was the crown princess. After His Majesty ascended the throne, he transferred this room from the East Palace to the Palace City. ”

Sima Jin whistled indecently, and then asked: "If this prince is not mistaken, Gonggong Gao said that the first queen was born in a Chu family." ”

"Exactly." Gao Zhuo is worthy of being the head of the inner house, Sima Jin is so unruly, there is no difference in his face.

"Isn't the Chu family beheaded by the whole house? Why do you still keep her embroidery pavilion? ”

Gao Zhuo was stunned for a moment, looking at Sima Jin's eyes with more inquiry, he put on a smile on his face, and replied respectfully,

"His Royal Highness the prince is sensitive, and the Empress of Chu is a generation of virtuous queens, who have lived in the deep palace for a longer time, and will definitely not participate in the rebellion of the Chu family. is more meritorious to the community, so it is natural to leave some scenery for future generations to admire. ”

Hearing this, Sima Jin couldn't help laughing.

This old eunuch is really interesting, his master punished the Chu family and forced the Queen of Chu to self-immolate. He also said that Empress Chu had meritorious service in Sheji.

"Empress Chu? There is still someone with such a strange name. ”

Chu Shan wiped his mouth with his sleeve and whispered.

Sima Jin took out a handkerchief from his arms, wiped Chu Shan's juice-stained mouth, and explained: "Xiaoshan, it's not that this person's name is Empress Chu, it's just that her maiden name is Chu, and others will call her Empress Chu for the sake of honorific titles." ”

"Surname Chu? That's not the same as Kosugi! ”

Chu Shan jumped down from the stool in surprise, she pulled Sima Jin's sleeve and said coquettishly: "Then what is her name!" Is it also called Chu Shan! Is it the same name and surname as Kosugi! Daddy, Dad, it's okay for you to tell Kosugi! ”

Sima Jin glanced at Gao Zhuo with embarrassment, and when he saw that Gao Zhuo was unmoved, he pointed at him and said to Xiaoshan: "Dad doesn't know what Empress Chu's name is. You go and ask the grandfather and see if he will tell you. ”

Chu Shan tilted his head, pouted and thought about it, and finally made up his mind to rub it to Gao Zhuo's side.

"Grandpa, grandpa, what's the name of Queen Chu! Isn't it the same as Kosugi? ”

Gao Zhuo looked at the child in front of him at a loss, and put his eyes on Sima Jin for help. But he didn't think about it, Sima Jin didn't look at him at all, and ate the melon in the fruit bowl by himself.

Chu Shan's big eyes flashed, and he looked at Gao Zhuo for a moment. His eyes were full of curiosity.

Gao Zhuo was in a dilemma.

Although he knew the name of Empress Chu, how could he just tell a person from another country like this! If Sima Jin came to ask, he could avoid answering, and he could also take the opportunity to bite back and accuse Sima Jin of interfering in the secrets of other countries.

But it's a kid who came to ask!

If he avoids answering, he will inevitably be pestered by her. But if you answer, you will be revealing the secrets of the palace. If he accuses, Sima Jin can use the curiosity of a child to excuse himself.

How good is that!

"Xiaoshan, don't pester Grandpa Gao."

A familiar voice came from behind Gao Zhuo, Chu Shan raised his eyes, but saw his father standing at the door heroically.

Sima Jin also stared at Chu Ye for a moment, as if he was shocked by Chu Ye.

I don't know when, there were snowflakes outside, the door was wide open, Chu Ye stood in front of the snow in red clothes, her back was straight, like a red plum blooming in the snow.

Enchanting, but resolute.

"Daddy, you're so handsome!"

Chu Shan crossed Gao Zhuo and pounced on Chu Ye!
