As soon as he got down in the morning, he heard a familiar voice in the Qi banquet in the Yongming Palace, which came from the door of the palace and penetrated into his ears, "Your Majesty, the minister misses you very much. ”

"See you the day before yesterday."

He didn't look up, picked up the pen and licked the ink, and continued to criticize the folds.

"Your Majesty is really hurt," He Shuming sat down, poured himself a glass of water unceremoniously, and drank it before speaking, "On the way to help Your Majesty, you can still hear Your Majesty's romantic and interesting things, it has spread outside, are you looking for trouble with the little princess again?" ”

Qi Yan didn't talk, and there was no superfluous expression on his face.

He Shuming wiped his mouth helplessly, and said seriously with his fingers, "It's not that I'm talkative, Your Majesty, you really have the leisure to find the golden seal?" Otherwise, all those old stubborn spittles will drown us. ”

Now most of the court is still the old minister of Da Chen, Da Chen believes in shamans, and the golden seal is the token of the shaman, and only those who get it can be recognized by the shaman and become the king.

But Qi Yan doesn't care, he only pursues being strong, even if he has not yet stood firm, and there are not too many people in the court, but he has an army in his hands, and those old ministers are not stupid to make trouble now.

The tip of his pen twitched, "She probably knows." ”

"Which do you say," He Shuming thought about it again and sighed, "Princess Wenning or Princess Zhaoren?" Your Majesty, you can leave one and leave two princesses of the previous dynasty, and now the rumors outside are not good. ”

"Wen Ning."

The tip of his tongue turned out of this title, Qi Yan couldn't remember what he was going to approve at all, so he simply put down the pen and twisted his wrist, "Is there any news?" ”

When it came to business, He Shuming put away his smile, "No, it is estimated that he helped, and most of the people who went died." ”

"Really?"

Qi Yan laughed, and the already raised eyes were now like a blooming Manzhu Sahua, charming and unfathomable danger, as if he was thinking about something to hold his head and stare at the table.

He Shuming looked at it and didn't speak again, the little general back then has become like this now, I don't know what the old general will think in the spirit of the sky.

"Alright, get out. The matter of placing those old generals should be solved quickly, and if it doesn't work, they will all be killed. ”

Qi Yan pinched his eyebrows in annoyance, his head began to hurt again, he took two breaths and closed his eyes, too lazy to say more.

He Shuming replied twice and retreated, and the violence in his words made him feel suppressed. Those are all old men who have followed the old general for many years, and he casually said to kill them.

He sighed and turned his head to look at the Yongming Palace, not knowing whether it was good or bad.

There were fewer people dangling in front of him, and when the old problem was better, Qi Yan stood up and walked towards the Hexian Palace.

He didn't call anyone in to pass the word, but walked straight in, just in time to catch her sitting on the soft floor with her feet crossed, eating the pastry in her hand, smiling and dancing with the person opposite.

Seeing him coming, Chen Jiaojiao choked violently, coughed twice and hurriedly stood up, and didn't know whether to hide or swallow the half-bitten pastry in his hand.

Chen Zhen looked at the two of them back and forth, and remembered that when Chen Jiaojiao was only 9 years old, His Majesty was still a eunuch in front of her.

Chen Jiaojiao almost monopolized the love of her father, and everyone in the palace was naturally unhappy. That day they took her to the small bamboo forest, tricked her into playing hide and seek, but left her there.

She originally wanted to pick up a favor and wait until the evening to pick her up, maybe she could get her father's high opinion.

But before she could put it into action, he found her first.

Later, she heard that one of his servants had entered the prince's palace with a sword that night. The knife was on the neck of the second brother, and the second brother had to say it.

Thinking about it now, she felt that nothing was wrong, and planned to mention Chen Jiaojiao's torture of him in the past later.

She is just a princess of a dead country now, and she doesn't care about how to live with the people in front of her. She couldn't go out of the palace to live a hard life, and her sackcloth clothes made her itch all over, let alone live with those untouchables.

But before she could speak first, Qi Yan knocked on the cup and motioned to pour water.

Chen Jiaojiao knew that he would not let her go so easily, but Sister Ah Zhen should be in a good mood for him today. Thinking of this, she poured water for him very obediently, walked to Chen Zhen and stood still, as if looking for a big tree to protect her.

Qi Yan picked it up and drank it, without saying anything.

Seeing that his cup was empty, Chen Zhen smiled and took the first step to add water to him, "Your Majesty, there is a new tea in the hall today, let's give it to you to taste." Agarwood, go get it. ”

With a great opportunity to disappear from this, Chen Jiaojiao hurriedly tugged on the sleeve of Agarwood's shirt and whispered, "I'll go." ”

"Stop."

The man's cold voice came out, and Chen Jiaojiao's cheerful footsteps paused suddenly, and she turned around in a daze, not knowing why.

Qi Yan didn't look at her, and pointed to the agarwood, "What's your name?" ”

Agarwood was a little puzzled, but still replied respectfully, "Slave Chen Xiang." ”

After she answered, the room was silent, and everyone was guessing what he was thinking.

After a moment, Qi Yan pointed at Chen Jiaojiao again, "Name." ”

Chen Jiaojiao subconsciously spoke, "Chen ......."

As soon as she spat out a word, she realized what he was trying to say. She is now a subordinate, and she should call herself a slave.

She bit her lower lip and lowered her head, he knew that he deliberately humiliated her, but she couldn't open her mouth at this sentence of slave, which was equivalent to admitting slavery, but she was once the most noble princess of Da Chen.

Qi Yan saw that she had understood that she had retracted her gaze, she was sometimes quite smart, and she didn't need to talk too much nonsense. He took a sip of his tea and waited patiently for her to speak.

He thought he would wait.

After half an hour, Chen Jiaojiao bit the corner of her lip and refused to speak, Qi Yan bent her finger and tapped lightly on the table, sometimes lightly and sometimes heavily, and the hearts of the listeners fluctuated up and down.

The hall was silent, the air was frozen and it was difficult to breathe, Chen Zhen saw this and hurriedly played a round, she still needs Chen Jiaojiao to be on her back.

"Jiaojiao," she walked up quickly and took her hand, "just say it, or my sister's life may not be guaranteed." ”

Chen Jiaojiao looked at Chen Zhen fiercely, and there were tears in her eyes, and she forcibly pressed them down. She didn't want to drag anyone down anymore, or she would really have no shame to see her father and queen mother.

"Slave Chen Jiaojiao." Now that she opened her mouth, she was no longer embarrassed, raised her head and laughed, "The slave maid went to get the new tea that just arrived today for Your Majesty." ”

I hadn't seen her smile for a long time, Qi Yan stared at her back, but the expression on her face was cold for a moment.

After bringing the new tea and brewing it, Chen Jiaojiao stood beside Chen Zhen again, lowered her head and looked at her toes, not paying attention to what they were saying.

Qi Yan stood up without waiting for the tea to be brewed, and when he passed by her, he reached out and tore off the jade hairpin on her head.

The hairpin hooked her hair, Chen Jiaojiao couldn't help but whisper, and stumbled two steps.

He casually threw the hairpin on the table and pushed the door away, the hairpin smashed on the table and made an echo, Chen Jiaojiao retracted his gaze and understood what he meant.

He didn't come back since, she stayed in the Hexian Hall with peace of mind, and the day by day was quite easy.
