No. 1 Girl in the Imperial City

Chapter 209 Qi Clan Credentials
In the middle of the night, the huge palace finally regained its former tranquility.

In the small courtyard of Jingyuan, palace lanterns hang low under the eaves, and the soft firelight illuminates the dark courtyard through the palace lanterns depicting beautiful landscapes.

In the center of the courtyard, various flowers bloom quietly, and there is a faint fragrance floating in the air, which is refreshing.

In the new house, the dragon and phoenix red candles are still burning quietly, and there are two empty wine glasses on the table.

On the other side of the room, gauze curtains were lowered and embroidered curtains were drooping.

Behind the curtain, Luo Junyao's originally elegant and complicated bun had already been put down, and it was loosely scattered on one side.

The girl's beautiful face was still flushed, and she leaned against Xie Yan's arms with her eyes closed and fell asleep with a tired face.

The man who held her tightly in his arms did not fall asleep with her at this time, he was looking down at the sleeping beauty in his arms.Raising his hand to lightly touch the bright red and moist lips, he left quickly as if he was reluctant to wake her up.

"Shake." He whispered.

"Huh?" Half asleep and half awake, Luo Junyao slowly opened her eyes but they were also sleepy and blurred. She asked vaguely, "Is it dawn?"

Xie Yan gave a low laugh, and said softly: "Not yet, you just fell asleep."

"Oh..." Luo Jun shook his eyes and raised his hand to rub his eyes.

The quilt slipped off, revealing her slender and flawless arm like jade, but Xie Yan quickly grabbed her hand and stuffed it back.

The chill of the early winter night finally made her wake up a bit. When she opened her eyes, she saw the sober and deep eyes of the man in front of her, as well as the man's solid chest and the marks of being bitten under the collarbone.

"You...why aren't you sleeping?" Luo Junyao was a little embarrassed, and kept looking aside.

"It hurts, I can't sleep." Xie Yan whispered.

Luo Junyao felt that he was shocked, she didn't cry out for pain, why did he call for pain?

When she raised her head and met his eyes that seemed to be smiling but not smiling, she realized that he was referring to the wound she was bitten by herself.

This... can't blame her.

"It really... hurts?" Luo Junyao asked in a low voice.

"Ah."

Luo Junyao, who was half asleep and half awake just now, actually didn't have a clear mind, thought about it, leaned over and blew gently.

It was as gentle as a feather passing over the skin, and the man's eyes became deeper and deeper.

"Shake."

"It doesn't hurt, I didn't use much force. That... I don't like to bite people." Luo Junyao whispered, feeling a little uneasy.These words didn't seem convincing, it wasn't the first time she bit Xie Yan.

Xie Yan finally couldn't help laughing out loud.

Luo Junyao finally realized that he was being tricked, "Xie Yan!"

Xie Yan had no choice but to say, "This king is wrong, and my concubine forgives me."

Luo Junyao snorted softly, turned his head and ignored her.

In the room, there was only the sound of His Royal Highness the Prince Regent lying down and making a small apology, and it took a long time for a woman's crisp laughter to be heard.

It was cold in the early winter, and the night was quiet, but the faint laughter added a bit of warmth that had never been in the quiet courtyard.

In the early morning, the bright morning light filled the entire Prince Regent's Palace.

The dewdrops on the flowers reflected colorful light in the sun. Qin Yao'er squatted in front of a pot of red flowers at the gate of the courtyard, fiddling with the delicate flowers with her fingers in boredom.

"Little Yaoer." Wei Changting stood not far away, smiling and waving at Qin Yaoer.

Qin Yao'er turned her head and glanced at him, but remained motionless.

Wei Changting didn't care either, and said with a smile: "Xiao Yao'er, be good. I have something to report to the lord, go in and inform me."

Wei Shizi was also very helpless about this, if he had been in the past, he would have gone in directly.But now that the prince is married to the concubine, it is obviously inappropriate to rush around like this.

If he disturbed something, why didn't Xie Yan skin him?
Qin Yao'er said: "My lord hasn't gotten up yet."

Wei Changting looked up at the sun in the sky, wondering if it was actually the moon?

The regularity of His Royal Highness the Regent's work and rest is simply a nightmare for ordinary people.

Wei Changting has known him for so many years, except that he was seriously injured and unconscious, no matter what time he went to bed the day before, he also got up at [-]:[-] am the next day.

Now this...

Wei Shizi looked at the position of the sun in the sky again, the time has passed, right?

A hero is sad when a beauty passes by, beauty misleads others.Even His Royal Highness the Prince Regent couldn't get through this gentle town, Prince Wei expressed his grief.

Qin Yao'er turned to look at him impatiently, "Why are you still here? Do you really want me to go in and report?" She didn't mind, anyway, Wei Changting would bear the consequences.

Wei Changting rubbed his nose and said, "Forget it, it's...not that important. I'll go first."

Well, he was actually curious about what Xie Yan's first day of marriage would be like, so he rushed here.But being curious about such things is not worth letting him provoke Xie Yan.

Qin Yao'er didn't care, nodded and walked into the yard.

In the new house, Xie Yan had already got up.

The red candle that had been burning all night had already been extinguished, Xie Yan glanced at Lan Yin who came in with the water and said, "Be quiet, don't disturb Yao Yao."

Lan Yin bowed slightly to accept the order, and brought the water into the bathroom on the side.

After Xie Yan came out of the shower and changed his clothes, he walked to the bedside.Gently lifted the heavy double curtain, and saw the newlywed wife who was still sleeping.

A trace of tenderness flashed across Xie Yan's eyes, and he raised his hand to caress her reddish cheeks. The skin on her fair and flawless face was as delicate as a bullet could break.

"My lord, Wei Shizi just asked for an audience outside the courtyard." Qin Yao'er came in and whispered.

Xie Yan nodded and stood up, and said: "Take good care of the princess, don't disturb her. When she wakes up, come and tell the king immediately."

"Yes, my lord." Qin Yao'er rarely nodded obediently, while stretching her neck to see Luo Junyao on the bed behind Xie Yan.

Xie Yan glanced at her warningly, "Be quiet."

Qin Yao'er immediately raised her hands, and crossed her two index fingers on her mouth to indicate that I should shut up. Xie Yan then ignored her and walked outside.

After he went out, Qin Yao'er made a face at his back.But in the end, he didn't dare to run to the bed, just stretched his neck to look at it, then slipped out lightly.

Sitting in the study, Wei Changting saw people coming in from the outside, and couldn't help but tease: "His Royal Highness, you are finally up, it seems that last night...uh, cough cough, I mean, congratulations to the prince Happy wedding."

Xie Yan didn't bother to pay attention to him, walked to the main seat and sat down, said: "It's rare that you came here early in the morning, what's the matter?"

Wei Shizi said, is His Royal Highness redefining early morning?
This time, he didn't argue with Xie Yan, and said sternly: "The people of the Qi tribe submitted their credentials to Honglu Temple early in the morning."

Xie Yan raised his eyebrows slightly, and Wei Changting nodded to confirm his guess, "The queen of the Qi clan came to visit, and she handed over the official certificate of credentials of the Qi clan, with Ji Sui's seal on it." He came to Dasheng not as a status, but as an envoy of the Qi people.

In this way, if something happened to Bai Jingrong in Shangyong, it would be regarded as Dasheng wanting to start an all-out war with the Qi people.Not only the relationship between Dasheng and the Qi people, but also other small countries will question Dasheng's etiquette and style.

After all, even if the two countries are in a confrontation, there is a saying that they will not be killed, not to mention that neither Dasheng nor the Qi people are actually powerless to fight anymore.

"Queen of the Qi clan?" Xie Yan raised his eyebrows slightly.

Although there are people in the royal court of the Qi people who call her Princess Bai Jingrong, most people call her Mrs. Rong, but the title Queen is a bit new.

Ji Sui's queen is the descendant of the most prosperous Qi clan, no matter how favored Bai Jingrong is, she, an outsider, has never really shaken her queen's status in recent years.

Wei Changting said: "There is no news yet, but Queen Bai Jingrong's identity should be fine, she has the gold order of the Queen of the Qi tribe on her body. I guess... the great queen and her natal family are probably about to die."

Xie Yan nodded and said: "In that case, it's fine to receive them as envoys from foreign races. In addition, remind Bai Jingrong to let her be more peaceful. If she breaks up with Yong due to some personal grievances, the Dasheng Court will not be responsible."

"That's a problem." Wei Changting gloated a little, "She has a lot of enemies, if someone seeks revenge on her... the Qi people can't blame us, right?"

Xie Yan glanced at him, "Bai Jingrong dared to come to Shangyong, do you think she really believed that Dasheng would not kill her?" Would Bai Jingrong not know what Dasheng's attitude was towards her?She's not impatient anymore.

Wei Changting shrugged: "Okay. She also said that she wanted to enter the palace to meet the Empress Dowager. In addition, she just arrived in Shangyong yesterday and didn't come to congratulate her. She couldn't even send a congratulatory gift. She wants to congratulate you in person."

Xie Yan thought for a while, and said: "The empress dowager is not feeling well, so there is no need to see her. This king has no personal relationship with her. Since I want to see this king, the court will announce her audience in a few days."

Wei Changting raised his eyebrows slightly, but didn't say anything.

With Bai Jingrong's character, I'm afraid he won't be satisfied with this arrangement.

However, Shangyong is their territory, who said that it must be arranged according to her wishes?
"Let Gu Jue watch Cui Zheyu a little bit more." Xie Yan said suddenly.

Wei Changting was startled, and soon his face became a little more serious, and he said in a deep voice, "I know, but Yu Chen..."

"Don't worry." Xie Yan said: "Since he's back, he must have the consciousness that he can't get out of Shangyong."

Only then did Wei Changting calm down, nodded and said, "Okay, I will tell Gu Jue. Yu Chen is not alone in her business. Since he dares to come back, he will not believe in Wei if he is allowed to leave this son alive!"

Xie Yan didn't speak, he knew that although Wei Changting seemed out of tune, he didn't need to remind him not to be impulsive.

What happened to Yu Chen back then not only dealt a great blow to Cui Zheyu, but also to people like Wei Changting and Gu Jue.

Because, Yu Chen is the highest-ranked traitorous general since the establishment of the Zhen Guo Army.

At the beginning, this incident almost caused a devastating blow to the Zhen Guojun.

If Xie Yan hadn't stepped forward to take over the Zhen Guojun, Dasheng might not have the name of Zhen Guojun now.

In recent years, it is not that they have tried to kill the traitors.

But in these years, Yu Chen almost never left the royal court of the Qi clan, did not attend any large-scale events, and almost never showed up except by Bai Jingrong's side when needed.

This time, he would follow Bai Jingrong to Shangyong because he was worried about Bai Jingrong's safety.

Yu Chen was still the number one expert in the Dasheng Army before Xie Yan.

Luo Junyao slowly opened his eyes and stared blankly at the exquisite picture of hundreds of sons and thousands of grandchildren above his head for a while, and his cheeks became more rosy when he remembered something.

Suddenly, she suddenly sat up from the bed, "Oh no, today I have to... oops!"

Thinking of what happened last night, those lingering images kept replaying in his mind, and Luo Junyao felt that his face was about to burn.

Falling back a little weakly, she couldn't help rolling over while hugging the quilt, wishing she could bury her face directly in the brocade quilt.

Even though she can be regarded as a martial arts practitioner, she still feels a little uncomfortable at this time.This is because of her own reasons from time to time, she consumes too much pain once in a while. If those delicate ladies of the family are lucky, they are lucky to be alive.

"What are you doing?" Xie Yan's deep voice came from above her head, and gently pulled away the brocade quilt covering her head with one hand.

Luo Junyao took a breath of fresh air before looking up at Xie Yan.

Xie Yan was sitting on the edge of the bed looking at her, raised his hand to touch her forehead and asked softly, "Why don't you sleep a little longer? What's wrong?"

Luo Junyao was not shy either, and threw himself on him directly, put his arms around his waist and said, "My back hurts."

Xie Yan chuckled, and stretched out a hand to gently press her soft waist.

His technique was light and heavy, and he used a little internal strength, and the warm feeling made Luo Junyao feel very comfortable, and he couldn't help feeling a little drowsy.

"Sleep a little longer when you're tired." Xie Yan said.

Luo Junyao opened his eyes and said, "No, I still have to enter the palace to offer tea to the Empress Dowager."

Xie Yan said: "You can go tomorrow, Auntie won't mind."

Luo Jun shook his head and said, "How can we do that? We are juniors, it's already very bad if we go late, why can't we go?"

Although she doesn't like to follow the rules, it's not true that she doesn't understand etiquette at all.

Some rules are optional, while others must be followed.

The Empress Dowager was looking forward to Xie Yan's marriage, so what if they just worked a little harder to toast the old man with a cup of tea?
Thinking of this, Luo Junyao didn't worry about the pain in his back anymore.

Pulling away Xie Yan's hand, he sat up, pushed him and said, "Go out, I want to change clothes."

Xie Yan had no choice but to take her into his arms and said, "Let's rest for a while, I'll let someone go into the palace to tell you, let's go in the afternoon. Aunt Huang sleeps more and wakes up less every day, and most of the time she is energetic in the afternoon. "

"Oh." Luo Junyao nodded in agreement.

Xie Yan asked with a smile: "Do you still want to press it?"

"Yes!" Luo Junyao lay back on his stomach again, took Xie Yan's hand and put it on his lower back.

Xie Yan smiled helplessly, lowered his head and kissed the side of her face, and then began to massage her painful spot again.

The maids standing outside the door looked at each other, hearing that the princess had woken up, but... the prince and princess didn't call them in to serve them, so should they go in or not?
Feng Jian looked at Lan Yin, and Lan Yin looked at Feng Jian, not knowing what to do for a moment.

After a while, Feng Jian sighed and said to the little girls who were holding toiletries and clear water: "Let's put it away for a while, and we'll talk about it when the prince and princess call us."

"Yes, girl." Several little girls hurriedly went to the side room on the other side with their things in their hands to wait.

The water used by the princess will get cold after a long time, so it needs to be replaced with warm water.

Feng Jianlanyin and the others were still guarding the door, and heard Luo Junyao's laughter coming from inside from time to time.Although Xie Yan's voice was not heard, the prince and concubine must have gotten along very happily, and the newlyweds don't need them to come in and disturb you.

The girls looked at each other and smiled, and retreated a little further together with aspirations.
