At noon, the warm sun shines on Fangfei, under the begonia tree, Qingyi sits on the chaise longue, half-blind eyes, almost asleep, but its breath fluctuates.

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.

Xiao Tong saw Concubine Shuci at a glance in the crowd, only to see that she was dressed in gorgeous red, enchanting in every way, her hair was tied with gold hairpins, and she was so beautiful that even the queen was a little overshadowed by comparison. ]：

"Miss, shall we go over?" Xiao Tong whispered in Qingyi's ear with some worry, and then looked at Shangguan Wan'er who was caressing the willow branches, and her eyebrows were twisted up a little uncomfortably: "Concubine Xian Niangniang is very calm."

Arsenic matter, Concubine Xian and the queen have their own thoughts, suspicious of each other, now that the enemies see each other, not only are they blushing, but they get along well, which is not a good sign, Xiao Tong glanced at the concubine who admired herself again, and her eyebrows tightened.

Qingyi glanced at everyone, but she didn't care as much as Xiao Tong, the corners of her mouth smiled, she stepped forward, and when she saw the queen, she said: "The concubine sees the queen"

This sentence 'the concubine sees the queen', so that everyone with their thoughts suddenly came back to their senses, the queen was lukewarm red lips, but her voice was soft: "It turned out to be Concubine De, exempt from courtesy, a few days ago, the emperor just issued a morning bow to exempt Concubine De, how can the palace afford this sentence 'see'?" ”

After the queen said this, all the concubines were stunned, and Ouyang Hongyu, who was sitting on the side, was even paler, she just wanted to get up and admonish the queen, but was stopped by Qinglan on the side, so she could only look at the queen with a little worry, and her eyes were full of disapproval.

Qingyi naturally heard the sarcasm in the queen's words, but she smiled softly, her eyes were clear, the shadows floated, and she said gently: "The emperor accommodated the concubines, but the concubines knew the general situation, how could they really see the queen and not salute?" After speaking, he lowered his long eyelashes, looking very aggrieved.

As soon as Qingyi's voice fell, Shangguan Wan'er covered her mouth and laughed, while Ouyang Hongyu suddenly got up and looked at Qingyi, only Du Ci and the queen came back to their senses for a long time, one chuckled, and the other was flushed, annoyed.

The implication of Qingyi's words became clear as soon as he heard it, the emperor decreed that the morning province was exempted from kneeling, but Concubine De still asked for peace when she saw the queen.

Ouyang Hongyu saw that the queen's face was getting ugly, and she couldn't take care of it anymore, so she hurriedly got up and stepped forward, grabbed Qingyi's hand, and said with an unsteady breath: "Why did Concubine De come, I waited for a long time for my sisters", as she said, her eyes flowed, she looked at the queen, and said with a smile: "Queen Mother, since Concubine De's sister is here, let's go in, don't let the emperor and the distinguished guests wait for a long time."

The queen was silent, snorted coldly, flicked her long sleeves, and the phoenix crown on her hair swayed, and then turned around and walked towards a small white jade bridge, and walked towards the 'Ziyun Pavilion' marked with Cangjin font not far away

When everyone saw the queen proudly walking away, they suddenly felt bored, Shangguan Wan'er's look of watching the show was also slightly restrained, and Ouyang Hongyu, who was holding Qingyi's wrist just now, was even more embarrassed and blushed, but fortunately, Qingyi comforted her: "It's embarrassing sister", so she was able to break the siege, and Du Ci was a look of indifference, so a group of people also hurried onto the Baiyu Bridge

In the 'Ziyun Pavilion', Leng Guyun was dressed in a black robe, standing in the wind with his hands in his hands, crowned with purple and gold double dragon jade, his face was handsome and resolute, with a cold and murderous aura between his eyebrows, and the hair hanging on his chest was shaking in the wind, giving people a lonely and indifferent atmosphere, and he did not dare to approach.

Yu Haoxuan sat in the pavilion with a little laziness and sipping tea, a bright yellow dragon robe shimmered in the warm sun, the golden jade crown on the hair and the brocade ribbon hanging down on the chest were even more handsome, and the eyes that were as deep as the night stared at the willow hanging in the lake on the shore of the lake, rippling slightly.

And Yu Haotian, who was standing aside and stroking the bamboo flute in his hand, was dressed in a white robe, half leaning on the stone pillars of the pavilion, standing with his chest hugged, his calm face seemed to be thinking, but silent.

The atmosphere is eerie.

When Qingyi stepped on the stone steps in the 'Ziyun Pavilion', a deep light in her eyes came from the side, making her heart startled and her steps stagnant. But the light in his eyes was immediately withdrawn, and then he heard Yu Haotian's gentle and polite voice: "A few beautiful sisters-in-law are here, let this king wait"

At this time, Qingyi's heart had an indescribable taste, the beautiful sister-in-law, wanted to come to Yu Haofeng firstly to mock herself, and secondly, to tell her that he did not regard her as a sister-in-law, otherwise a solemn and gentle third prince, why would he say so in front of his brother?

Yu Haoxuan's hand sipping tea suddenly stiffened, and he looked at a group of female relatives as if he had noticed something, and finally his eyes stopped on Qingyi's plain body, his thick eyebrows moved, but he didn't say anything, and then looked at the queen, and said gently: "Why did the queen come?" ”

The queen smiled, that smile can be described as all kinds of tenderness, just wanted to snuggle up and say a few words, but saw that Yu Haoxuan had already gotten up, stepped in front of Ouyang Hongyu and Qingyi in three or two steps, looked at Qingyi a little, and then, actually stretched out his hand, held Ouyang Hongyu's slightly cold hand, and said gently: "Zichen's body is still like this, it's all weird."

As soon as these words came out, there were many ambiguities, and the queen's pretty face suddenly turned red and she was embarrassed. However, Ouyang Hongyu bowed her head, and her pale face also showed a little rouge, but she was still pale and weak, and her soft voice was a little shy: "Your Majesty"

"Hahaha" Just when the concubines' hearts were overflowing with jealousy, a low laugh came, Leng Guyun looked at Ouyang Hongyu and Qingyi with a pair of cold eyes, but his eyes fell on Qingyi, his thin lips pursed lightly, with a little coldness, and said: "The lord of the country has always thought that the emperor is a person with little affection, and he doesn't want to know what it means to pity fragrant and cherish jade."

As soon as Leng Guyun's words fell, Qing Yi unconsciously took a few steps back, wanting to hide behind Ouyang Hongyu to avoid the cold eyes that made him shiver, but he had no intention of catching a glimpse of Yu Haofeng's eyes with a little jealousy on his side, taking a deep breath, Qing Yi nodded slightly, and pulled his lips and smiled.

"Qingyi's mood today is good" Yu Haoxuan's voice suddenly came coldly, Qingyi was stunned, looked at Yu Haoxuan with wide eyes, and sighed in his heart, is he talking about himself?

"Concubine Ai's eyes are blaming me, did you only know Concubine Ai's name today?" Yu Haoxuan's voice carried undulations that Qingyi couldn't hear, but this sentence shocked Qingyi, boudoir? Could it be that Xiao Tong's small character is 'Qingyi'?

Yu Haoxuan saw that Qingyi bowed his head and was silent, his expression seemed to be thinking, his body was slightly scattered, and he just wanted to say something, but he heard Qingyi's soft voice coming slightly: "The concubine doesn't dare"

The unfamiliar four words disappeared from the corners of her mouth, Qingyi raised her head, but she didn't look at Yu Haoxuan, under the light veil, she seemed to be able to see her slightly discoloring lips, and a pair of transparent eyes also had a little silence, stopping on the willow above the lake.

With such an aggrieved look, Yu Haoxuan's eyebrows moved, and he actually swallowed what he wanted to say, let go of Ouyang Hongyu's hand, clenched his big palm into a fist, turned around indifferently, blocking Leng Guyun's inquiring gaze, his handsome face with a cold smile, and said with a low smile: "I just care about talking to my palace family, and the Tao is to snub the lord of the cold country, don't blame, come here, have a banquet."

"Slaves obey orders," Gonggong Qin sang sharply, and then everyone breathed a sigh of relief, and followed the emperor to the 'Crescent Moon Palace' next to the 'Ziyun Pavilion'.

Qingyi came back to his senses under Xiao Tong's urging, and slowly followed everyone's footsteps towards the 'Crescent Moon Palace', but stopped in front of the hall again, raised his head, looked at the golden characters, and his heart beat out of order.

pursed his lips, clutched the silk handkerchief tightly with his hands, but said: "Xiao Tong, tell Gonggong Qin, just say that my body is not and I can't accompany the banquet", after that, he lightly covered his heart, turned his hands into fists, turned around and walked back to 'Ziyun Pavilion', his eyes were cold, but resolute
