Xuanguo, Pinghu Palace.

The mansion that was immersed in darkness revealed the silence of the night.

As far as the eye can see, there is only one courtyard in the huge mansion that still flickers with a faint orange candle flame, and the inconspicuous faint candle flame highlights the brightness and softness under the darkness of the whole area, like a firefly hidden in the deep well, which is bright and soft in the night.

In the room, a candle lamp burns slowly on the round table, directly opposite the candlestick, Xuan Yuehuai, who is concentrating on playing the five-string guqin under his hand, his slender and powerful bony fingers, between the five strings of the guqin like auspicious clouds and flowing water, with his movements, is the natural sound of the piano flowing naturally.

The voices were sometimes slow and tactful, sometimes fierce and high-spirited, tangled together, touching each other from time to time, and an invisible spark was seen in the air.

It's like Xuan Yuehuai's heart, who is playing the piano at the moment, is full of a kind of contradictory entanglement, and this feeling in his heart makes him unable to say that he can't say anything, but can only use this piano sound to express and vent.

He lowered his eyes and reflected in the pupils of the ukele, and gradually condensed a faint figure, this figure had a slender waist, a closed moon intoxicated face, an aura of outstanding talent, and ...... The corners of his lips always hang a sly and calculating smile.

He didn't know when this figure had crept into his heart, but when he came back to his senses, he couldn't erase it.

'Whew' a gust of wind, along the open carved wooden window into the room, a black figure in the candlelight reflected on the white wall, before Xuan Yuehuai, who was playing the piano, raised his head, he heard a clear smell of words from the opposite side, "Qin Se is in the palace, don't be quiet, I can't imagine that there is such a beautiful and pleasant sound of the piano in this world." ”

The movements on the index finger were stunned, and the tossing and turning sound of the piano also stopped mutely, Xuan Yuehuai raised her eyes in disbelief as she heard the sound, and the sly smile in her pupils gradually became clear and happy, and coincided with the person in front of her.

Nian Yingxi sat on the stool and poured herself a cup of tea, and after raising her head and drinking the tea in her hand, she found that Xuan Yuehuai was still looking at herself in a daze, put down the teacup in her hand, she got up and walked in front of him and bent down, stretched out her five fingers at a distance close to him, and slowly shook it in front of the stupid eyes, "Forgetful? Amnesia? Or is it a convulsion? ”

The faint breath passed down her fingertips into his snort, and when Xuan Yuehuai came back to her senses, she also retracted her thoughts that had leaked out, "Sister-in-law? Returning to his previous indifference, he turned back into the mild-mannered prodigal son who didn't like the world, "And how did the sister-in-law find it?" As far as I know, my sister-in-law seems to have never been here. ”

"You have a lot of questions." Nian Ying got up and sat back in the chair with disdain, "Since you and Xuan Yining can find me accurately, how can I not find you?" ”

In ancient times, the good thing is here, the country is as small as a city, and the densely populated butt is next to the ass, and it is much better to find a place to live here than to take a taxi and get stuck in a traffic jam for half a day in the 21st century.

Xuan Yuehuai was amused by Nian Yingxi's dissatisfiedness, "Then do I always have to ask, why did my sister-in-law come?" Didn't you come to ask for a vote of one hundred taels? As he spoke, his lips sunk deep into a round dimple that seemed softer than marshmalasse.

Nian Yingxi poked her hand widely, like a local tyrant, "Don't worry, I'm not here to ask for silver tonight." As he spoke, he got up again with a smile and walked in front of him and squatted down, and asked mysteriously, "Do you know that Princess Sinan has a personal little girl by her side?" ”

Xuan Yuehuai didn't expect her to ask such a question, and carefully twisted her eyebrows and pondered for a long time, before she raised her eyes and nodded, "I have indeed seen it, that little maid is still clever, why did my sister-in-law ask about her?" ”

"It's really a good memory." Nian Ying smiled happily and reached out and patted Xuan Yuehuai's shoulder.

The unprepared Xuan Yuehuai was slapped vigorously by her and almost didn't lie on the piano, and before she could straighten her waist, she heard her voice come into her ears again, "Help me find someone." ”

"Didn't my sister-in-law say that she was looking for that little girl?" Xuan Yuehuai straightened up in surprise, looking at her unpredictable smile in front of her, and didn't understand why she was looking for a maid in a good manner.

Nian Yingxi directly ignored his surprised eyes, and continued to take care of herself, "That girl's name is Bihe, she should be placed in the inn now, you just need to follow the inn to check, remember to be faster, I only have one day to wait for you." ”

It was the first time that Xuan Yuehuai had seen someone ask someone to do something with such a tone that they had to do it, and she couldn't help but shake her head and laugh, this woman could really do things that he didn't expect.

Nian Yingxi naturally saw the reason for Xuan Yuehuai's wry smile, and after getting up and pouring herself a cup of tea again, she turned around and asked, "What, do you think I'm a little bit of a robbery?" ”

When Xuan Yuehuai heard this, she almost didn't squirt out with a smile, "Sister-in-law, how can this be called some?" "It's already a robbery......

"Don't worry, I won't tell you to work for nothing." Nian Ying smiled and stuffed the teacup in his hand into his hand, "That one hundred taels ......"

Without waiting for her to finish, Xuan Yuehuai continued with some disbelief, "A write-off? ”

Nian Yingxi shook her head, "It's interest, a write-off." He walked to the window where he came.

Really...... Xuan Yuehuai smiled speechlessly, although he was really entangled in this loss-making deal, but in his heart he had already promised to help her do it as soon as possible, of course, the reason for this was that he couldn't say it at all.

"Sister-in-law...... "Is there anything else?" Before he could finish speaking, when he looked up again, Nian Yingxi's figure was gone, except for the stack of letters that were pressed under the teapot at some point, her breath had already been blown away by the breeze blowing into the room, and the whole room was cold and quiet like never before.

The bitter smile in his heart ...... came out of his mouth gently, as if his fingers were clasped on the strings of the bass, which was cold and helpless that no one could understand.

Xuanguo Imperial Palace, Chengqian Palace.

In the empty hall, only the rustling of the brush on the rice paper swipe, on the high platform of the main hall, Xuan Yining is twisting his eyebrows to review the bright yellow texture in his hand, on his left and right sides are full of approved and unreviewed folds, these Luo Chengshan's folds undoubtedly do not point all the signs to one thing - after Lihou.

Looking at these so-called folds of worrying about the country and the emperor, Xuan Yining's tightly knit brows never stretched a bit.

In fact, from the beginning of his establishment, he had already thought that there would be such a day, but he never thought that these opposition folds would be so overwhelming, which simply overwhelmed him.

Throwing down a fold and opening one again, Xuan Yining's eyes suddenly became a little condensed, because this fold was played by the current Lan Dutong, and the resignation on this fold turned out to be an accusation that Nian Yingxi was ignoring etiquette, righteousness and shame to pursue the matter of marrying behind Xuan Yuchen.

Looking at the accusations and voices on the paper, Xuan Yining finally sneered and put it still in the pile of twists and turns on the left hand side, raised his head and relaxed tiredly, leaned on the gold-plated dragon chair behind him, and reached out to pinch his somewhat painful eyebrows.

It seems that he still underestimated Yingxi's appeal in Xuanguo this year, and he just made her the queen, and he was able to attract all the civil and military officials of the Manchu Dynasty to ask for the rejection of the posterior.

'Xuan Yining, there must be a limit to shamelessness, okay? ’

'Xuan Yining, be kind, and if you speak too badly, you will be struck by lightning. ’

'Xuan Yining, how did you become an emperor such a scoundrel? ’

Recalling her arrogance, her cleverness, her wisdom, and her wit, he couldn't help but let out a low laugh in this empty hall, "Nian Yingxi, you are really a hot potato......

A black figure flew down from the diagonal top of the main hall, from the five-meter-high beam of the main hall to the center of the main hall, and knelt firmly on one knee on the smooth ground, without the slightest superfluous sound.

"Your Majesty." The black figure lowered its head and spoke, its voice as sonorous as steel.

"Fang Zhun, I didn't expect your speed to be much faster." Xuan Yining, who heard the voice, retracted all the smiles on his face just now, and regained his distance and majesty in a blink of an eye, "How are things going?" ”

The man named Fang Zhun got up and took out a few letters from his arms that had not been torn apart, walked up the steps and handed them to Xuan Yining, and then walked down the steps without stopping for a moment, and knelt on one knee again.

Xuan Yining didn't directly open the letters on the desk, but waved his hand at Fang Zhun who was kneeling in the main hall, "Go down and rest for a few days, and after two days, I have other things for you to do." ”

"Yes, the subordinates retired." Fang Zhun bowed his head to receive the order, and when he got up, he disappeared in the center of the main hall.

It wasn't until Xuan Yi Ningyi was alone in the hall again that he slowly picked up the letters, but he didn't open them and look at them carefully, but after a slight glance at the different national seals on each envelope, he smiled and threw these letters into the incense burner beside him one by one.

In fact, he knew that Xuan Yuchen had written letters to several other countries, and was waiting for replies from other countries, if he hadn't predicted it in advance, how could he let Fang Zhun go?

As for Fang Zhun, he had a certain belief, after all, Fang Zhun was the secret guard who was personally selected by his father to accompany him and grow up with him since he was a child, so many years of companionship and special training had already made Xuan Yining have a positive recognition of Fang Zhun's ability.

As for the content of these letters now, even if he doesn't read them, he knows that they are nothing more than some letters that promise to help Xuan Yuchen rebel and get benefits from them, since he already knows the contents, there is no need to go and read them again, so as long as he looks at the national seal on the letters, because he just wants to know which countries have selfish intentions towards him.
