Chapter 566 Affair Palace. www.biquge.info When Shangguan Xiu arrived at the Imperial Garden, Tang Ling and Ian were also there, but neither of them paid attention to his arrival. Today, Tang Ling was wearing a gorgeous white brocade robe, graceful and gorgeous, noble and holy, with a wide silver belt tied around his waist, outlining his slender waist. Her little face was full of smiles, and she smiled sincerely and brightly. Shangguan Xiu rarely saw her smile so happily. Opposite her, standing was Ian, with a drawing board in front of him, holding a pen in one hand and a palette in the other, painting for Tang Ling. He was also dressed in white, the traditional two-section dress of Besa, with double rows of gold buttons on his shirt, trousers with gold silk trim, short blond hair, capable and neat, dark blue eyes as deep as autumn pools, and the whole person looked personable, handsome and upright, and extraordinary. The two people stood in the garden, the beauty of the picture, the harmony, like a pair of beautiful people, it seemed that even the female officials and palace maids were afraid of disturbing such a harmonious picture, and retreated far away. Shangguan Xiu stood at the arch of the Imperial Garden, did not take a step forward, his body leaned slightly, his shoulders gently leaned against the wall of the arch, looking at the affectionate Ian, and the smiling Tang Ling, suddenly, he felt like he was a superfluous one, if he stepped forward at this time, it would be like he had drawn so many superfluous strokes on a beautiful painting, destroying its beauty. "Xiao Yi, haven't you finished drawing yet" Tang Ling's laughter was like a silver bell, and his beautiful eyes were crooked, looking at Ian. Ian took the paintbrush, took two steps back, looked at Tang Ling opposite, then looked at the shadow on the canvas, and said with a smile: "Xiang'er, you come and see." Looking at Tang Ling's little face with a smile and excitement, she walked to the canvas, and when she saw the painting on the canvas, her eyes suddenly lit up, her eyes were deeply attracted, and she murmured: "It's so beautiful." "Not as beautiful as you. Ian looked at Tang Ling, who was close at hand, and said secretly in his heart. Suddenly, he felt a sharp gaze shoot at him. He subconsciously looked at a pair of bright eyes, as bright and sharp as an eagle's falcon. Ian was shocked in his heart, and looked straight at Shangguan Xiu. The men in the palace are all Praetorian Guards, and this person's dress is completely different from that of the Praetorian Guards, but he can enter the palace without a report, and his identity must not be simple. He carefully looked at Shangguan Xiu's appearance, he was not very old, tall, handsome facial features, and his body naturally exuded a majestic aura. What was particularly striking was the silver hair that fell from his temples. The crane has a childish face, giving people a strong sense of visual contrast. The dark and deep eagle eyes seemed to be shrouded in a layer of mist, making it impossible to see through what was going on in his heart. Shangguan Xiufeng, the commander of the Guozhen County Army, the Duke of Zhenguo, and the Duke of the Quasi-State Ian knew almost immediately who he was. As if frightened by Shangguan Xiu's fierce gaze, his hand holding the pen shook slightly, and the brush fell to the ground. Ian quietly bent down and picked up the paintbrush, and then he glanced at Shangguan Xiu again, the corners of his mouth hooked, and he raised his hand unhurriedly, naturally putting it on Tang Ling's shoulder. Tang Ling didn't see Shangguan Xiu, she was admiring Ian's painting and was fascinated, when she suddenly felt his touch, she came back to her senses and turned her head in confusion. Ian's white, slender fingers pinched a leaf over her shoulder and flicked it to the side. Seeing this, Tang Ling smiled and said to Ian, "Thank you." Due to the angle problem, from Shangguan Xiu's side, Ian reached out to put his hand on Tang Ling's shoulder, and instead of rejecting her, she smiled happily at Ian. This situation made the surrounding female officials and palace maids unable to stand, and the female official with the organic spirit saluted the arch where Shangguan Xiu was located, and said loudly: "Zhen Guogong" Hearing the female official's words, Tang Ling's body was shocked, and she subconsciously looked around, and after looking around, she found Shangguan Xiu's figure at the arch. I haven't seen him for many days, and when she saw him at this time, her heart couldn't help but throb inexplicably, and she said in surprise: "Ah Xiu" Shangguan Xiu smiled bitterly, maybe it is really a person who is in good spirits on happy occasions, Tang Ling rarely calls his name so cheerfully. Leaning against the wall, he shook slightly, and walked over. When Tang Ling and Ian approached, his eyes swept over Ian, looked at Tang Ling, and said expressionlessly, "Your Majesty." Listening to Shangguan Xiu's blunt and detached greeting, the joy in Tang Ling's heart seemed to be poured with a bucket of ice water. The smile quickly froze on her face, she stared at Shangguan Xiu for a while, her smile retracted, and she also asked in a stiff and detached tone: "When did Zhenguo Gong come?" "It's been a while. Shangguan Xiu replied indifferently. Tang Ling didn't answer again, and the scene suddenly fell silent, and the embarrassing atmosphere spread. Shangguan Xiu really wanted to laugh a few times at this time, he was really the superfluous one, and his arrival really destroyed the original beauty. Ian stood up at the right time with understanding, stretched out his hand politely to Shangguan Xiu, and said: "It turned out to be the Duke of Zhenguo, disrespectful and disrespectful, and in Lower Ian Prologs, he was the envoy of the Besa Kingdom to visit the Wind Country. Ian is polite and gentle, and he deliberately omits the identity of Prince Besa when introducing himself, giving people a sense of ease and approachability. Shangguan Xiu looked down at Ian's outstretched hand, of course he knew that this was the etiquette for Besa to shake hands, however, he deliberately ignored it, and arched his hand and said, "Prince Ian." Ian shook hands, and Shangguan Xiu returned the gift, which made Ian look embarrassed, and the outstretched hand was not accepted, nor was it not accepted, and he didn't know what to do for a while. Of course, Tang Ling was aware of Ian's embarrassment and couldn't get off the stage, and he already had resentment against Shangguan Xiu in his heart, and now he saw that he deliberately made things difficult for Ian, and he was even more unhappy, and said in a cold voice: "I'm a dignified Zhenguo Gong, don't you even understand Besa's etiquette" Shangguan Xiu narrowed his eyes and said: "The dignified gale goes to the country, in the national capital, in the palace, and performs the rites of Fanbang, isn't it surrendering his identity" Even if Ian is a person who has nothing to do with him, he will not use Besa's etiquette to return the salute with him. Tang Ling's face turned red and white from Shangguan Xiu's words, if it weren't for Ian's presence, she would have turned her face long ago. She took a deep breath, suppressed her anger, and said in a deep voice, "Little Prince Ian is my old friend. "I entered the palace today, not to see His Majesty's old friend, but to discuss state affairs with His Majesty. Shangguan Xiu Zhengse said. Could it be that there is nothing else to say between us except for state affairs to talk about, Tang Ling was so angry that he roared in his heart. She said with a cold face: "Prince Ian is not an outsider, and the prince of Zhenguo can speak directly. In front of Ian, how could he discuss with Tang Ling whether the Wind Country should form an alliance with Besa He stared at Tang Ling for a moment, his tone finally softened a little, and said, "I want to talk to Your Majesty about the alliance between the two countries." Shangguan Xiu said this in the hope that Tang Ling could distinguish between public and private. But Tang Ling had no way to vent his grievances, so he didn't care what he was talking about. She raised her voice three points and said loudly, "I've made it clear, if there's something to do, just say it here." Looking at Tang Ling, who was angry, Shangguan Xiu shook his head secretly, this woman was already unreasonable. He didn't say a word, and arched his hand and said, "Weichen retires" After speaking, without waiting for Tang Ling to respond, he turned around and walked outside the imperial garden. Seeing Shangguan Xiu's back striding away, Tang Ling's lungs were about to explode, and a layer of mist appeared in his eyes unconsciously, and he asked loudly: "Shangguan Xiu, where do you want to go" Shangguan Xiu stopped, looked back, and saw Ian gently patting Tang Ling's jade back, as if comforting, he smiled, did not stop, and walked away quickly. He is not a person who likes to entangle, never has been, when Pan Mengjun left him, he did not pester her, he walked simply, and now, if Tang Ling wants to leave him, he will not do entanglement, he will also withdraw and quit. He has his principles and bottom line, and he will keep the last bit of dignity for himself. Shangguan Xiu disappeared outside the arch of the Imperial Garden, and a drop of water slipped from the corner of Tang Ling's eyes. Ian, who was standing beside her, could see it clearly, and his heart sank. Cai Xiao once told him that there was no affection between Tang Ling and Shangguan Xiu, and the reason why he wanted to marry Shangguan Xiu was because he had heavy troops in his hands, which was an expedient measure. But looking at it now, it seems that the relationship between the two is not as simple as Cai Xiao said. Ian raised his hand and wanted to hug Tang Ling into his arms, but he still didn't do it after all, and now was not the time. A glint appeared in his eyes, and it flickered away. Leaving the palace, on the way back to the house, Shangguan Xiu felt funny, the appearance of Ian made Tang Ling emotionally confused, and there was no distinction between public and private, it seems that it is unlikely that he wants to count on the imperial court to seize the opportunity of this battle between Besa and Ningnan. Shangguan Xiu narrowed his eyes, and naturally remembered Xin Jiyao's proposal, and he would not accept the order of the foreign monarch. On the way back to Shangguan Xiu's home, he met Zi Yiling and others. Zi Yiling and the others originally wanted to wait for him at the gate of the palace, but they didn't expect Shangguan Xiu to come back so soon. Everyone met together and asked, "Ah Xiu, why did you leave the palace so quickly and didn't see Your Majesty?" Shangguan Xiu said lightly: "Your Majesty is painting with Prince Ian, and I stayed just to disturb them, so I left quickly." Hearing this, everyone looked at each other, and there was an indescribable feeling of discomfort in their hearts, which made Shangguan Xiu feel sad. But this is also a matter of no choice, emotional matters, others can't interfere, and about His Majesty's feelings, others can't interfere. What's more, the relationship between His Majesty and Ian is several years earlier than the relationship with Shangguan Xiu. Seeing that everyone lowered their heads and didn't speak, Nie Zhen snorted, scratched his head and said with a dry smile: "Ah Xiu, I know there is a good place to drink, why don't we go and have a good time tonight" Everyone nodded in response: "Yes, yes, yes, let's go drink tonight, put all the mess away, and rest when we get drunk." Shangguan Xiule knew that everyone had good intentions, so he didn't refuse, and nodded in response: "It's okay." ”
