"Father" Du Hairong stepped forward, clenched his hands into fists, and just wanted to speak, but was stopped by Du Tieyun, only to hear him say again: "This matter will be negotiated after the two of them return to the house, perhaps, Xiao Tong has his own plans"

Seeing a hint of past injury flashing in his father's eyes, Twilight Hairong didn't say anything more, just nodded, and then helped him into the carriage and let the coachman drive home.

It was noon, the warm day was pleasant, Qingyi closed the book, raised her head slightly to look at the begonia with a few buds, her white fingers wrapped around a strand of hair hanging down her chest, with a little tiredness in her eyes, and she put the book on her chest casually.

Xiao Tong came with tea, and said a few words in Qingyi's ear, while Qingyi picked up the tea bowl and took a sip, still tasteless, his eyebrows twisted slightly, put down the tea bowl, sighed lightly, his smooth nails slid across the rim of the cup, and said, "Can you inform Concubine Shu of this?" ”

Xiao Tong nodded and said: "The little father-in-law who sent the message in the palace has gone to the 'Zhaoyun Palace', but I heard that Concubine Shu was very angry with the young lady's actions, and she didn't say that she wanted to go back to the house after seeing the little father-in-law."

Qingyi nodded indifferently, the corners of her mouth smiled, and said lightly: "Human nature, in addition to accompanying me these days, the emperor is to comfort Shangguan Wan'er, otherwise she will stay at Ouyang Hongyu's place, how can she not be angry?" ", I think it's been a while since Yu Haoxuan stepped into the 'Zhaoyun Palace'.

Xiao Tong bowed her head and was silent, although she knew in her heart that what Xiao Tong did must have a reason, but overturning the idiom and rescuing Shangguan Wan'er was indeed a taboo for many people, and even Sister Ruyue, who was in the cold palace, was puzzled when she heard about it, and almost didn't come to the 'Ning Xue Palace' in disguise to ask what was going on.

You must know that Xiao Tong's success or failure now is related to whether Sister Ruyue can reunite with the emperor, or even re-ascend the throne of the concubine, and stay together for a hundred years.

Thinking of this, Xiao Tong looked up at Qingyi with slightly closed eyes, pulling the silk handkerchief with his bare hand, and wanted to speak several times but still couldn't speak, after a long time, he just sighed and said softly: "Miss, when will you go back to your hometown?" ”

Qingyi's eyebrows moved lightly, her pink lips pulled lightly, but she didn't smile, her long eyelashes were agitated, she slowly opened her eyes and looked at the red lacquer gate not far away, stretched out her hand and stroked the long hair on her chest, thoughtfully, but she muttered indifferently: "Ouyang Hongyu is afraid that she will go back first"

Xiao Tong was stunned and wanted to ask carefully, but saw Qingyi close his eyes and just bowed his head and retreated

After half a pillar of incense, the catkins flew lightly, a piece of snow white, falling between Qingyi's fingers, Qingyi was startled, and hurriedly opened his eyes, but saw a confused color in the imperial garden, just like the first snow in the cold nine, fluttering and sprinkling, and the world was pure.

The heart was soft, flicking the skirt, getting up, the plain long skirt seemed to blend into the snow, raising his head slightly, but he couldn't block the sunlight between his fingers, his eyes narrowed slightly, flicked his long sleeves, and walked in the direction of the imperial garden.

A good piece of spring, the willow branches are pretty, Qingyi is holding the dragon carving column, lifting the skirt and stepping up the stone steps, slowly walking into the 'Midnight Pavilion' looking at the edge of the 'Thousand Rivers and Lake' and 'Yuluan Lake', the young leaves are hanging low, dripping in the lake water, the microwave ripples, the wind rises, and a trace of ripples is crossed.

Above the waves, catkins fall into the float.

Pursed his lips and chuckled, stretched out, caught a ball of Mao Rong with the wind, but let it fly away, and suddenly remembered the so-called 'has always been shallow, but deep love' between the world, obviously reaching out to touch, but helplessly following.

Lowered her long eyelashes, withdrew her hand, and sighed softly, when did she become so sentimental about the fate of the world? laughed, half leaning on the stone pillar, chanting Lin Daiyu's poem:

The powder falls into the Hundred Flower Continent, the fragrant swallow building, and the clusters form a ball one by one.

Wandering is also like a thin human life, empty and slender, and said to be romantic.

The grass and trees are also worried, Shaohua is white-headed!

Sigh who will give and who will receive in this life

It doesn't matter if you marry Dongfeng Chun, go by your own and endure drowning.

After chanting, Qingyi couldn't help but smile bitterly, plain and pale, reflecting her delicate face, covered by a light veil. The green silk is pulled into a bun, the hosta is flashing, the willow is light and graceful, but it is a soft sigh: "Half a lifetime of duckweed with the passing water, a night of cold rain to bury the famous flower"

After she finished chanting, Qingyi suddenly sobered up, her eyes were slightly stunned, what was she doing? When has it fallen to the point of learning Daiyu to bury flowers and feeling Nalan's sadness?

Pursing his lips, a burst of annoyance in his heart for no reason, his bare hands were lightly clenched into fists, turned around, and stepped down the stone steps, but his footsteps suddenly stopped when he stepped into the corridor, his eyebrows moved slightly, and he turned his head slightly to look at the lake that should be calm in the 'Yuluan Lake', and there was a handsome man in a black robe standing.

Qingyi was frightened, her body froze suddenly, and her clear black eyes flashed with a trace of doubt and panic, but the man turned over and stood in front of her, his long hair like ink moved with the wind, and Qingyi only found out at this time that this man had a pair of cold and cold eyes.

"You" Qingyi took two steps back, looking at the strange man in front of him, I don't know whether he was angry or shocked, and it was difficult to say for a while.

"Pink Fallen Hundred Flowers Continent?" The man's thin lips pursed into a line than the cold, and a pair of eyes that went deep into the night quietly stared at Qingyi's beautiful cold eyes, and his voice was like a spell: "It doesn't matter if you marry Dongfeng Chun?" ”

Qingyi was stunned, not knowing why, when she understood the meaning of the man's words, it was too late to stop the man's low smile slightly: "I have no intention of fighting for spring, and I am jealous." Scattered into mud and dust, only fragrant as before", as he spoke, he stretched out his slender hand and picked up the long hair on Qingyi's chest, playing with it between his fingers.

The man's words made Qingyi not know what to do, she took a few steps back sharply, waved her hand and tore off the green silk in the man's hand, her eyes were a little angry, and she wanted to cut off the person's seven muscles and eight veins with one palm, but before she could raise her hand, she saw Gonggong Qin running towards this side in a brown court suit, and kept calling: "Lord Leng Guo, Lord Leng Guo"

Lord of the Cold Country? Qingyi's heart moved, and then she was stunned, only to see the man's eyebrows turn around and look at the source with a little impatience, and then Qingyi also inadvertently caught a glimpse of the bright yellow that was leading the queen to this side not far away

The heart shook suddenly, and when the man had time to turn around and look at her, Qingyi was still angry and gathered in the dantian, and his feet spun rapidly, and he took eighteen steps in the air, and disappeared without a trace in an instant.

"Oh, Lord Leng, the slave can be regarded as having found you" Gonggong Qin panted and stopped in front of Leng Guyun, but when he looked up, he saw that this cold and cold-tempered Lord Leng actually wrinkled his eyebrows and looked at the empty and empty people behind him, with anger in his eyes.

Gonggong Qin's heart was cold, he couldn't smile bitterly, and he didn't even know why, fortunately, he saw the emperor who was already close to this side, and hurriedly walked over, wanting to say something, but he also saw that the emperor was also the same as the lord of the cold country, his face was indifferent, and his eyes looked coldly at noon in the corridor where no one was, the warm sun was shining on Fangfei, under the begonia tree, Qingyi was sitting on the chaise longue, half-blind, almost asleep, but his breath fluctuated.

After a while, Qingyi opened his eyes slightly, a pair of deep eyes looked at the little sunlight sprinkled on his body, mottled like a shadow, and the plain hand holding the silk handkerchief slowly let go, but there was still a faint depression between the eyebrows.

Lord of the Cold Country? Qingyi said these three words lightly, and a pair of cold eyes that were as cold as ice appeared in front of her eyes, which could make people feel in the cold nine heavens, and her heart was cold, and her beautiful eyes were closed again.

The trees were about to stop, but the wind was not stopping, and it seemed that her peaceful days were coming to an end

At lunchtime, Gonggong Qin came in a hurry, and when he saw Qingyi sitting under the tree reading leisurely, he rushed away, and said: "The slave sees Concubine De Niangniang, Niangniang Wanfu"

Qingyi glanced at the scroll, glanced at Gonggong Qin with his eyes, and said softly with a half-smile: "Gonggong Qin is not with the emperor, he has come to the palace to ask for peace." ”

When Gonggong Qin heard this, the smile on his face suddenly couldn't hold back, but he still smiled: "Today, there are distinguished guests in the palace, and the emperor sent a servant to invite the lady to the 'Imperial Palace' for dinner, and the queen, the concubine, the virtuous concubine and the full Rong Niangniang have all arrived." \/\/”

"Imperial Palace?" Qingyi was a little surprised, closed the book, stared at Gonggong Qin, and said in a very light tone: "What kind of distinguished guest can be invited by the emperor into the 'Imperial Palace' to entertain?" Could it be that this cold country lord really has a great background?

"Concubine Huide, it's Leng Xiao Guo's lord," Gonggong Qin bowed his head and said respectfully.

Sure enough, it was the man, Qingyi glanced at the 'Huaiyue Benji' placed on the stone platform again, pursed his pink lips, and then got up, summoned Xiao Tong, asked him to prepare his clothes, and said to Qin Gong: "Father-in-law will return to the emperor's side and wait for him first, and the palace will come after a while."

Gonggong Qin smiled and lowered the leader's will, shook the white whisk in his hand and hurriedly exited the gate of the 'Ning Xue Palace'.

Xiao Tong looked at the disappearing figure of Gonggong Qin, his eyebrows tightened, and he hurriedly followed Qingyi into the bedroom, closed the door and stepped forward to ask something, but heard Qingyi say: "Xiao Tong, do you know that among the sixteen countries of Huaiyue, there is a cold country lord?" ”

Lord of the Cold Country? Xiao Tong was stunned for a moment, then his face was a little ugly, and he hurriedly said: "Miss, could it be that today's 'distinguished guest' is"

Qingyi nodded, but she didn't say much, and she didn't want to tell her about her in the 'Midnight Pavilion' in the Imperial Garden.

Xiao Tong saw Qingyi nodding, his expression was a little nervous, and then he said: "Miss, among the sixteen countries, only the lord of the 'Leng Xiao Kingdom' is surnamed Leng", and then he fixed his mind, and said: "It is said that he is the god of war in the desert, and he is also the only country among the sixteen vassal states that can match the strength of the Huaiyue Kingdom."

When the world was in turmoil, the country was divided into sixteen. Only the "Leng Xiao Kingdom" and the "Ancient Dragon Kingdom" are the most powerful, and then because of the "beauty in the dress" and provoked a stand, after more than three years of war, so that the lives are miserable, and the people are not happy, but in the end, it is the "Ancient Dragon Kingdom" that dominates the country and dominates the world, and it is even more beautiful to return, but the beauty died in tears three years later, and since then, the "Ancient Dragon Kingdom" has been renamed "Huaiyue".

'The country changed hands, and the beauty was taken away', Qingyi's heart finally understood why the man had such cold eyes when he saw him for the first time, after all, the national shame is not stranded after several generations, I think that in the hearts of the royal family and the people of the 'Leng Xiao Kingdom', this country should be theirs.

Thinking of this, Qingyi chuckled, asked Xiao Tong to dress himself up a little, chose a long skirt that was plain but slightly identified, put it on, put on a dark robe, looked at the mirror, lightly touched cinnabar, slightly applied grease powder, and then added some golden hairpins and jade pendants to his sideburns, and then got in the car and drove in the direction of 'Imperial Palace'

The car drove slowly, slightly bumpy when passing by the cobblestone paving, and the warm wind blew lightly, blowing the curtain, fluttering and trembling, and the pearlescent glass flickered in the meantime.

Qingyi sat in the middle, her forehead was lightly twisted, her sideburns were like clouds, the golden hairpin pendant reflected each other, a little cinnabar between her eyebrows was bright red like fire, delicate as a flower, charming as the sun, a plain gauze dress embellished with a few golden silk peony embroidery, holding a snow-white silk handkerchief in her hand, and her eyes quietly stared at the 'Imperial Palace' with heavy soldiers

The car stopped, and the father-in-law of Qin in front of the main hall hurriedly ran down the stone steps, slightly blessed his body, and helped Qingyi to get out of the car, and then when he stepped on the white marble steps, the father-in-law Zhao beside the queen mother raised his head and sang: "Concubine De Niangniang has arrived-"

Qingyi's eyebrows moved lightly, and his clear eyes turned to glance at Zhao Gonggong, who was expressionless, and smiled softly, the smile seemed to be nothing, gentle and condensed, which made the hearts of the soldiers around him flutter lightly, and even Gonggong Qin was stunned, and looked at Gonggong Zhao with a stiff expression at some bewilderment.

Xiao Tong, who was standing behind Qingyi, raised his eyes and glanced at Zhao Gonggong's expression, and was a little surprised to catch the complexity in Zhao Gonggong's eyes, and he was stunned, but he didn't have time to see clearly, so he followed Qingyi's footsteps into the main hall.

'Imperial Palace' is the bedroom of the emperors of the past dynasties, with pavilions and pavilions, nine dragons carved on the wall, carved flowers in the air, Qingyi just stepped into the 'Cloud Palace', was stunned by the scene in front of him.

The four walls of the house beams, the golden splendor, the top is painted with colorful patterns, the golden dragon relief, the four sides each place eight treasure basins, each one is carved with a pair of dragons and phoenixes that are intertwined with each other, and below, there is also a toad with gold beads in the mouth, on the four walls of the hall, it is a variety of totems, reliefs, dizzying.

This is the emperor's bedroom, no concubine is allowed to enter the realm, it is said that the main hall here has a total of thirty-three layers, even like the heavenly realm.

Xiao Tong was shocked by the scene in front of her, she looked at this luxurious 'Cloud Palace' with wide eyes and stunned, her hands couldn't help but pull Qingyi's long sleeves, her voice seemed to be amazed, and she was even more frightened: "Little Miss, is this the place where the emperor holds a banquet?" ”

Qingyi chuckled, took her slightly nervous hand, glanced at Gonggong Qin who was following him, and said, "Where are you now?" ”

Gonggong Qin bowed his head, the two strands of gray hanging on the black gauze hat were swinging, and said respectfully: "Please follow the slave to the back garden", after that, he flicked his hand and turned around and walked towards the side hall.

Qingyi's eyes narrowed slightly, and Xiao Tong's hand was slightly tightened, and then slowly let go, pulling the silk handkerchief with both hands, hesitated for a while, and followed the footsteps of Gonggong Qin to the side hall, and after a while, he came to a verdant back garden.

Qingyi stepped into the garden, but she had already seen the queen and others standing under a green willow tree, all smiling like flowers, but Ouyang Hongyu's face was still pale and bloodless, and she was only served by the palace maid sitting on the stone bench and sipping tea.
