At less than three o'clock that day, the newly built Chenwang Mansion ushered in an unexpected and extremely distinguished first visitor.

In the main hall, Ye Youhuang was dressed in a golden silk cloud pattern phoenix robe, sitting on the main seat dignified and elegant, looking at the ice and snow woman who fell in front of her with a kind face.

"General Qi, hurry up." The Night Queen got up and left her seat, stepped forward in person, helped Shangguan Jiyue up, and said with a smile.

Hearing the Night Queen's address to her, Shangguan Jiyue was a little surprised, and couldn't help but be slightly stunned, raising her eyes to look at the dignified and noble woman in front of her.

As if sensing Shangguan Jiyue's surprise, the Night Queen smiled: "General Qi doesn't have to be formal. The palace has just come back from the incense on the Hongye Temple outside the city, and it is still early to see the hour, so I came to the palace of the king of Chen to see you. ”

"Look at me?" Shangguan Jiyue saluted, and some were even more surprised, "Niangniang Feng is here in person, and Qi Yu is terrified." ”

"Yesterday in Hongye Temple, the palace heard that General Qi was arguing with the ministers in the main hall, and I was a little curious in my heart, what kind of woman can be the honor of the first female general in Beicang." The Night Queen looked at Shangguan Jiyue carefully with a pair of phoenix eyes and said, "When I saw it today, I really was a heroic woman who was stunning in the city, and she was a model for women." ”

"Niangniang praised it falsely, Qi Yu is just a military rough man who can only dance knives and guns, Pu Liu's posture, where is the peerless elegance of Shang Niangniang back then? The mother praised it like this, it really tormented the little woman. ”

Although Shangguan Jiyue saw the Night Queen smiling and groaning, with a kind face, she really didn't know what the purpose of the Night Queen came here lightly today, so she could only lower her eyes slightly without moving, and deal with it first.

I think that back then, Ye Youhuang was able to stand out among the many daughters of the Ye family, and was favored by Huangfu Hao, who was still the crown prince, not only because of the false name of the first beauty in Beicang.

At that time, she was peerless, as fierce as fire, as dazzling as the summer sun. In a royal spring hunt, a woman dressed as a man, how can the skill of riding and archery with one hand be generalized in a hundred steps? In the end, he overwhelmed the nobles of the Manchu Dynasty and the sons of the family, and won the spring hunting.

Huang Fuhao, who was still the crown prince at the time, was deeply impressed by her stunning appearance, so he did not hesitate to circle the name "Night Phoenix" in the list of many princesses who were later selected.

Even though decades have passed now, looking up, the Night Queen's eyebrows can still see the splendor of the year. It's just that time is like flowing water, and the undercurrents in the court are surging, slowly precipitating her fiery nature into a calm and elegant noble atmosphere.

Hearing Shangguan Jiyue's words, a glimmer of light flashed in the night queen's slightly thin lines in her phoenix eyes, and she seemed to remember the youthful beauty, and said quietly: "Back then, the palace was indeed a little stronger, and I hated to see those boys of the same age arrogantly, and I always wanted to find an opportunity to file their sharpness." Now that I think about it, it's still the carefree years that make people more nostalgic! ”

Shangguan Jiyue heard that the Night Queen's tone was a little lonely, and she was embarrassed about how to comfort her, but she heard her speak: "Back then, this palace was a small fight, but I never thought that one day I would be able to join the army and worship the generals like General Qi and gallop on the battlefield. Therefore, when Hongu heard that you were a woman, she was envious and really surprised. ”

"Niangniang, as the mother of a country, Fengyi is the world, how can she be compared with Qi Yu? What's more, with the heroic appearance of the mother back then, if she wants to join the army, her achievements will definitely be tens of millions of times stronger than Qi Yu, and it should be Qi Yu's admiration for the queen. ”

The Night Queen saw that Shangguan Jiyue's tone was full of respectful and detached words, still smiling in her eyes, and her face was kind. After the two of them sat down, they said some polite words. In the end, the Night Queen retreated and finally asked her about the purpose of her visit to King Chen's Mansion this time.

"General Qi, this palace heard that you have a close relationship with His Royal Highness King Chen, I don't know if the rumors are true or not?"

Shangguan Jiyue was stunned for a moment, lowered her eyes and pondered for a moment, and then raised her eyes, her eyes were already firm: "What if Qi Yu told the queen mother that the rumors were not groundless?" ”

When the Night Queen heard this, she looked at Shangguan Jiyue and looked at it carefully for a long time before she said slowly: "Actually, when Feige welcomed the palace in, the palace already understood, and I just wanted to confirm it to you personally. ”

Niangniang's eyes were like torches, and Qi Yu admired. But what if the answer Qi Yu just said was not what Niangniang thought? Shangguan Jiyue calmly met the Night Queen's gaze and said.

When the Night Queen heard this, she smiled slightly: "Since the first time I saw you, this palace has known that General Qi has a cold temperament on the outside and hot on the inside, and is as strong as fire, and he is a woman who attaches great importance to love and righteousness, so naturally he will not say anything against his heart because of the shyness and twist of his daughter's family." Otherwise, how can you let the iron generals of the three armed forces admire you, and how can you face the difficulties of hundreds of officials without changing your face? ”

"The queen thinks so highly of Qi Yu, Qi Yu really didn't expect it."

"This palace has also had the youthful years in its prime, and it has also had the girl's feelings of spring. You are a little similar to the temperament of this palace back then, once you recognize a person, it will be a lifetime, and this life will not change. "The Queen of the Night.

When Shangguan Jiyue heard this, she couldn't help but raise her head and look at the Night Queen. I saw her looking up slightly at the sky outside the window, her gaze staring into the distance. There was a long-lost feeling in those extremely beautiful phoenix eyes, as if she had returned to a certain period of good times in the past that she longed for.

After a long time, the Night Queen's eyelashes trembled slightly, slowly rolled her eyes, slowly withdrew her gaze, and looked at Shangguan Jiyue and said:

"King Chen has been cold and arrogant since he was a child, he is not close to the palace, and he has been away for many years, and rarely returns to the court. He has been with the weak crown ceremony for more than two years, and he should have started a family a long time ago, although Bengong is anxious about his marriage, but it is not good to be too eager, lest he have more resistant emotions in his heart, but it backfires. So over the years, whether it is the crown prince or King Chen, the palace has never forcibly given them any wives and concubines, and the palace also hopes that the two brothers can find a woman who can satisfy them and be happy for a lifetime. Now, since you and King Chen are in love, then the palace is also very happy. That kid has suffered a lot over the years, and to put it mildly...... It's also Hongu who is sorry for him......"

As she spoke, the Night Queen suddenly looked a little lonely, and her voice was almost inaudible and a little sour, looking at Shangguan Jiyue's eyes, she couldn't help but show a look of doubt.

Thinking of what Cheng Qinglu said when he was in Huaiyang City, the death of Concubine Yu back then seemed to have nothing to do with the queen in front of her. But why is it that today, the Night Queen personally admits that Huang Fuchen has suffered all these years because of her, what does this mean?

As if aware of her gaffe, the Night Queen immediately lowered her eyes, took out a brocade to cover her mouth and coughed lightly, and slowly got up and said: "This palace is very cordial when I see you today, this is for you, if you have time in the future, go to the palace to walk around the palace." ”

As she spoke, the Night Queen had already untied a piece of emerald green jade token from her waist and stuffed it into Shangguan Jiyue's hand.
