Qinglian walked into the bedroom, holding a small crimson box in her hand. Her gait was rare to walk briskly, and her crooked triangular eyes were filled with a rare smile. She wore a scarlet brocade jacket with a scarlet brocade skirt and a floral skirt that almost fell to the ground, and she had obviously put a lot of effort into her elaborate grooming. She rarely does.

Jinyu struggled to raise her head and gave her daughter a sweet smile. Qinglian responded to her.

"Help me up. The princess commanded. The maid Xiaoju carefully supported her back and let her sit up smoothly, and pulled a bird flower pillow to cushion the back of the bed, so that she could lie comfortably.

Jin Yu pulled up the ivory-colored satin quilt and covered it on her chest, "Daughter, what gift did you bring to your brother?"

Qinglian's stiff smile disappeared and turned into surprise, "You know if it's a man or a woman so quickly?"

"No, I just had a dream. I dreamed of being a boy, and I think you want a younger brother more. "Although Long Zixing is dead, he will still live in Qinglian's heart for a long, long time, and a new brother will dissolve her depression.

"It's just a dream, you can't take it seriously. The daughter repeated, and surprise was replaced by sadness. She thought of her brother, who was once alive. "But it's good to have a sister, anyway, I don't have a sister now. ”

She's alive, but you can't see her. But even if she dies, it doesn't matter, it's all alive in your heart anyway.

"Show it to your mother. Qinglian stepped forward as she said, handed over the small box, and Xiaoju took it and sent it to the master.

The box is covered with crimson velvet, and inside is a blue gemstone, which is bright in color, outlined in the shape of a baby, and depicted with eyebrows, eyes, hands and feet, vivid, and nearly transparent, like glazed porcelain.

"Pure blue turquoise, without any variegation, is really a rare treasure. Jinyu touched the gem with her fingers, and it felt so good. The daughter not only put her heart into dressing, but also came up with such a meaningful and valuable gift. Anyway, the daughter at least didn't hold a grudge against her and loved the child in her womb. "I'm so glad you came to see me. ”

"I'm here to see my brother. Think of it as a younger brother. Qinglian's hands were entangled, and her thin body writhed unnaturally.

She had a hard mouth, just like her temperament, and was very unaccustomed to wearing this costume. Jinyu understands all this.

The baby in the womb comes at a good time, whether it is a man or a woman, it can solve a lot of problems, it can at least bring the family together. Qinglian has been withdrawn and weird since she was a child, and if she has a younger brother or sister, it will definitely be of great benefit to her. After all, whether it is Long Zixing or the other daughters of Nioh, they are not born to compatriots. If necessary, Qinglian will know who her biological father is, and the long-term confrontation between father and daughter has become a problem for her. If it was a boy, he would be the future prince. Long Cheng was born with all daughters, and he was in need of an excellent heir. Yes, he became the Dragon Monarch as he wished, and now his greatest desire is undoubtedly to have a healthy son. And I gave birth to him a daughter, and an ominous deformity of six fingers. In terms of production, I am not as good as Gu Zhilan.

"I invited Your Majesty to the Moon Hall for lunch, and you will attend, right?" she was not confident in her daughter's answer.

There was a long silence, and just when she thought her daughter was going to refuse, Qinglian said, "I will." But I don't want to talk to him. ”

Great, it's a good start. Daughter, although you don't know that he is your father, he knows that you are his daughter. I should take this opportunity to make a request to your Majesty, and he will grant it, and your father and daughter will soon be acquainted, and our family will soon live happily together, not close to each other but thousands of miles apart.

Xiaoju and Lan Yi have a very close relationship, of course, this is what she ordered, she needs to know all the things about her daughter, including secrets. Lan Yi is a very tight-mouthed child, but she is not tight-lipped about everything about Xiaoju. For example, the little master has been talking about the third prince of the Moro kingdom for the past two days.

He was a very handsome man, young and dashing, and he was a good match. Of course, this is a very, very difficult marriage, almost impossible, after all, Qinglian is a deformity...... But I want Qinglian to know that I tried it for her.

Qinglian still didn't like to stay with her, they didn't have a common language between them, she was always singing a one-man show, and over time, the atmosphere became as awkward as before, like a banquet full of overnight dinners. So Xiaoju took Qinglian to build a snowman in the courtyard, leaving her alone in the room.

In this room at noon yesterday, the new chief imperial physician Zhang Mai repeatedly assured that there would be no more deformities. This relieved her. This famous doctor from Linshui City, Donghu Province, has a dignified appearance and has a high reputation in the local area. She had a much better impression of him than Anqing.

The body of the former chief imperial physician was found by a patrol officer three days ago. Daxue buried the body for the murderer, but Daxue only pressed half of the carriage, and Wang Ting was informed of his death. The murderer left the car but rode away, but surprisingly, An Qing still had a lot of gold and silver baht on him, and it was obvious that the murderer's purpose was not for money. On that day, Ande, the old servant who carried Anqing out, was thrown in a pile of hay, and although he was frostbitten by the heavy snow, he was free to die. This is a strange murder case, the murder is obviously aimed at the hapless Anqing, and the criminal court has no clue at the moment.

Recently, there have been too many things that the Torture Pavilion has been helpless about. The black clan Naku made people panic in the royal capital, but the criminal pavilion's overt and covert visits, encirclement and interception had no effect. Earlier, the theft of the Soul Tower in Nine Turns Town was still unresolved, and the clues that the Criminal Pavilion had caught that seemed to be quite valuable were still only clues so far, and it was said that the thieves should have been caught a long time ago, but the Criminal Pavilion didn't seem to be in a hurry at all.

In short, since the day of Long Yan, there has been little good news. Yesterday afternoon, her brother Pei Yong went to see her for the first time after being promoted to the national craftsman, and of course it was Pei Liduo's mouth. But Pei Yong didn't bring good news, but gave her a problem.

His Majesty the Dragon Monarch has recently planned to expand the naval fleet, and if you want the fleet, you will need to build more ships, which requires a large amount of oak, camphor, fir, pine, rivets, tar, asphalt, ore, cotton and linen, and other materials, which can be found in the warehouse in the dock area, so the Abundance Chamber of Commerce has become the main contributor. However, when Sihu Weisi went to collect these materials, he did not intend to pay a reasonable price, and gave a symbolic payment, and the bald fox Yi Fei ran to Pei Yong to complain. The two had a good relationship in private, so Pei Yong came to her, hoping to blow some pillow wind for His Majesty and relieve the pressure of Yi Fei.

His Majesty's sudden expansion of the navy was naturally related to the war. But she was not aware of the plans. She had never liked to get involved in military discussions, it was a man's business. Whatever His Majesty wants to do, he will definitely go all out to achieve his goal, even if he hollows out the Rich Chamber of Commerce for shipbuilding, he will not frown. Anyway, she didn't like Yi Fei in the first place, that man often dressed up and pretended to speak, and it was difficult for people to guess his thoughts. Just let him have a headache, anyway, he has money, what is it to contribute to the country.

She had been thinking about these things all morning, and the servants were busy outside, decorating the hall of the moon with great joy, with large red lanterns hanging from each corner of the eaves, and colorful strips of paper or cloth hanging between the beams and columns, and crystal lamps hidden in them for embellishment. Wind chimes are also installed under the corridor to symbolize festivity, which is the custom of the islanders. The jingling of the ornaments on the maids as they walked by, echoing the crisp and melodious sound of the wind chimes, made her feel in a good mood.

Even Qinglian participated in the arrangement, and she heard her daughter pointing outside from time to time, this banner should be hung here, and the tapestry should be placed there. Qinglian is happier when she is immersed in certain things, and if she is always locked up in the Seven Fragrance Palace, she will become more and more gloomy and lonely. What a daughter needs is not just Lan Yi, but a man, and a marriage. Love makes women beautiful, and marriage makes them more mature.

She got up, and with the help of Xiao Ju, she put on a lily bun, put on pale pink and white makeup, drew her eyebrows thin and long, and put on a set of delicately decorated pale pink filament pleated skirts, the skirt was inlaid with soft silk fox fur, rabbit fur and wool, which was warm and light. This is the time for her to be a mother again, and she wants to show her lover the most beautiful side, so that he will remember the way she is now. After giving birth, she will age a little more and be a little haggard.

Before you know it, the day has passed, but His Majesty the Dragon Monarch is still nowhere to be seen. He promised to come, and he would not break his promise, thinking that there were too many things to discuss in the morning court. It wasn't until the time of the tree had passed that he was too late. What made her feel uneasy was that there was no joy on his face, which was completely different from his usual appearance when he arrived at the Moon Holding Hall with a pleasant face.

The luncheon has been prepared for a long time, and it is all served in warm plates, warm pots, and warm cups, and when His Majesty arrives, he will come out one by one. Jin Yu arranged twelve dishes. His Majesty was fond of lizard meat, and she instructed the cooks to prepare two feasts of lizard, one of which was a dragon lizard introduced by Eta, which was large and made into a roast with nine different sauces to enhance the flavor. One is the snake lizard of Zedi, which is relatively small, and she ordered it to be boiled into a soup and stewed with soft-shelled turtle, supplemented with shiitake mushrooms, ginger, green onions and olive oil, and it smells very delicious. The rest are common dishes in the royal court, but three of them are ingredients that she personally prepared yesterday, so the meaning is different. In addition, she also prepared a lot of bitter vines that Long Jun likes to drink.

Long Jun rarely took the initiative to speak during the luncheon, and Jin Yu kept talking, and he only responded with a "uh-huh", looking in a bad mood, and he didn't know what was going on in the political hall in the morning. Qinglian was even more silent, not only did she not talk, but she didn't even look at her biological father.

It took a lot of work to prepare this feast carefully, not to mention decorating the Moon Palace, she used a lot of brains. However, now the food is boring, the atmosphere is very wrong, and Long Jun has not even drunk the wine, which makes Jinyu feel even more worried. She had a gut feeling that His Majesty would have something to say after the meal. Otherwise, what would he be doing here in such a mood?

"You've put a lot of thought into it. After a table of meals was withdrawn, Long Chengtian picked up a cup of tea and said unhurriedly.

She was glad that His Majesty had noticed the obvious, "because today is a good day." ”

But Long Jun didn't seem to think so, his tone was steady, but his expression was not kind, "In your opinion, every day is a good day, and it is worth being happy, making a big fanfare and jubilant." ”

"With His Majesty by his side, the concubines are always very happy. She reached out and touched Long Chengtian's leg under the table. She planned to tell him right away that he was about to have another child, and then take the opportunity to bring up the matter of her daughter and Zaima.

"Then why don't you tell me why you're so happy?"

This was a little wrong, she barely squeezed out a smile and said: "It's a happy event, but the concubine doesn't seem to be very happy today when she sees Your Majesty, and she has been wondering what it is that makes Your Majesty unhappy, and she actually forgot to say the happy event." ”

"Hmph. You can also see that I'm not happy?" Long Chengtian put the teacup on the table, and his tone suddenly became stern.

"The concubine has always wanted to share the unhappiness with His Majesty, does Your Majesty think the same way?" he made her heart tremble. She suddenly remembered that he was no longer her close lover, he was the king of a country. She should always keep that in mind.

Long Chengtian's tone was cold: "Then ask your daughter what she did!"

She gasped, and sure enough, it had something to do with Qinglian. Recently, my daughter seems to have been busy, and she has left the Seven Fragrance Hall more and more times, which is completely different from her previous closed doors. But her daughter and she have never liked to be controlled, and Xiaoju did not report anything abnormal.

"Qinglian, tell me, what did you do to make Your Majesty so unhappy?"

"How do I know why he's unhappy!" Six-fingered's daughter has always spoken like this, not afraid of heaven and earth. Long Chengtian also let her go before, and he didn't care about her. But today......

"Bold, in front of Your Majesty, how can you speak like that!" Jin Yu became nervous. She now felt that she was becoming more and more elusive about Long Chengtian's temper, and if she was angry and wanted to blame Qinglian one day, it would not be impossible.

The daughter simply shut her mouth and ignored her.

Long Chengtian looked at Long Qinglian coldly, and then said, "Jinyu, who else in the harem will be disguised?"

When Jinyu heard the word "disguise", she hurriedly ordered the servants: "You all retreat." After that, he said: "Your Majesty, there should only be concubines in the harem." ”

"How dare you lie to me?" Long Chengtian shouted angrily, making her tremble.

What mistake did my daughter make, and I'm afraid it was a very serious mistake. "Qinglian also knows a little bit, but her little kung fu is nothing, so she can't be called 'will'. ”

"That means you made a few masks in private to help the prisoners escape with their disguises?"

Jinyu was taken aback and almost fell off the chair, but Xiaoju hurriedly helped her. She left her seat and bent her knees, knelt down in front of Long Jun, and said, "Your Majesty, how can a concubine have such courage! A concubine is devoted to His Majesty, and this kind of thing will never be done! Your Majesty has not believed in her concubine for so many years?"

Long Chengtian's tone softened slightly, and said, "It's not that I don't believe you. But I'm afraid that there are other people who can, and the mask made can be confused with the real and make people unable to distinguish between the real and the fake. ”

Jin Yu looked at Long Qinglian, Qinglian had no expression on her face, and what the adults said seemed to have nothing to do with her.

Jin Yu said: "Please let Your Majesty know what happened." ”

"You get up first. Long Chengtian stared at Qinglian with a cold gaze, "Long Dailan successfully escaped from prison yesterday, and Yiping caught Prince Zayimo who used evil magic to sneak in the prison. After that, Yiping caught up with Long Dailan, but found that she was with Yu Jian!"

"What happened to Prince Zaima?" Qinglian suddenly changed color when she heard this, her face nervous and angry.

Crazy, how dare she talk to Your Majesty like this!"Daughter! What nonsense are you talking about? Where did all the etiquette go? Your Majesty, is this kind of thing true? Long Dailan ran away...... Is the dead Yu Jian still alive?"

Long Chengtian ignored her, glared at Qinglian angrily, stood up suddenly, slapped the table, the teapot shook, and the tea flowed everywhere, and said sharply: "What do you want me to do to Za Yimo? Kill him? I want to know who did this! Besides the two of you, who else in this harem has the ability to do such a thing? Could it be Pei Yong?"

Pei Yongjue ...... Don't dare...... Daughter...... You ......" Jinyu was so flustered that she couldn't speak.

Whatever they did, it seems that Zaima has no problem for the time being...... The corners of her daughter's mouth raised, and she pointed at her and said, "That's right, few people can see that mask, this is a skill left by my grandfather, and it's normal for me to learn it!"

Long Chengtian was furious, rushed to Qinglian and raised his hand, making a gesture to fight, "Bold! You are plotting rebellion! Don't think that I won't kill you! If you do such a thing, I can sentence you to death at any time!"

Qinglian had no fear, and retorted loudly: "Rebellion? You killed my father, my brother and sister, isn't that called rebellion? Do you think I'm afraid? I'm Long Xingtian's daughter, I'm not afraid of you or death!"

On the contrary, it's messed up...... Why did a good wedding banquet become like this? Jin Yu rushed over and hugged Qinglian with one hand, and took Long Chengtian's arm with the other, and said sharply: "Daughter! You can't talk to Your Majesty like this! Mother begs you, you can't do this!"

Long Chengtian raised his hand to break free and slapped Qinglian twice: "Since you beg for death, then I will fulfill you!"

Jin Yu let go of Long Qinglian, hugged Long Chengtian's dragon suit, knelt down, and said, "Your Majesty, how can you say such a thing! No matter how ruthless you are, you can't treat your daughter like this!"

Long Qinglian shouted, "I'm not his daughter!"

Jin Yu hugged Long Chengtian's legs and cried: "She has a thousand and ten thousand mistakes, and she is also your daughter! You have your blood in your body! Her stubbornness and pride are all carved out of the same mold as you, what do you think she looks like Xingtian? How can you want your daughter's life!"

"My daughter? Look at what she has done, which one is not betraying me? Listen to what she said, which one is not disobedient to me? You are going to tell me that this is still my daughter?!"

"That's because she doesn't know anything! She grew up, and the man who called her daughter was not you, and you can't blame her for anything!"

Long Chengtian grabbed Qinglian's shirt and lifted her up, just like lifting an empty sack: "Then who do I blame? Blame you? Am I going to blame you? Everything is your fault, look what kind of daughter you have raised! Elbows outward, everything is against me!"

Nothing could be worse. "Yes! It's all my fault, if you want to kill me, kill me! The fault is why I chose you back then, why did I take such a big risk to give birth to your child, and why did I betray the king of a country for you! I did everything wrong, you are all right, what have you done for her over the years? Now I want her life as soon as I say it!"

However, what she didn't expect was that Qinglian suddenly pushed Long Jun hard and said loudly: "You can't hurt her! If you want to kill, kill me! You have hurt so many of my relatives! I hate you to death!"

Daughter...... She burst into tears, and her handsome face was washed into a flower face: "No, Your Majesty, give me death...... Chengtian, together with the child in my womb, give our mother and son a death!"

Long Chengtian froze suddenly, his eyes were like sharp knives, coldly piercing her. He gritted his teeth, his facial muscles twitched, and he didn't speak for a while. His anger seemed to be contained, and he let go of her hand, causing her to fall to the ground, then kicked the table over, turned and kicked the door open, and strode out of the room. Several ornaments swept over his head and he tore them to the ground, along with two lanterns. One place is broken, another is cold.

This is a wedding banquet, this is a wedding banquet, the happiest day in the future after Long Yan's day! She hugged her daughter tightly, and her heart was like a thousand knives, "My daughter, my mother finally knows today that you don't really hate me! If my mother can hear you say that, it is worth dying immediately!"

The daughter hugged her back and said nothing. She could feel the immature body in her arms trembling. Daughter, cry, cry as much as you want! These days, over the years, you have stored too many, too many tears!
