The palace is quiet, and the empress of the cold palace is acting as a demon

Chapter 81

On March [-]rd, Shangsi Festival, Bai Zixian and his party arrived at Nanliang Yuheng.

Qin Wan heard from Fang Qing that Beirong was willing to withdraw the sanctions against Nanliang Chasang, and was willing to repatriate some of the Nanliang people who had moved north. horses and [-] head of cattle and sheep, and promised not to go to war within five years.

Not only that, Ning Yi also proposed to marry Ning Fei, the seventeenth princess of Beirong, to Yuan Shen as his concubine.

With all these conditions, Bei Rong only wanted one thing, and that was to send Qin Wan to Ying Yang.

The east wind brings warmth, a hundred flowers are in full bloom, and the Shangsi Festival in the south of the Yangtze River suddenly unfolds amidst the misty rain, flowers and birds. Qin Wan sits in the courtyard of Fenghua Palace, smiling as brightly as a crabapple by the pool in front of him.

Lie Xie asked: "Madam, what are you thinking, why are you smiling so happily?"

Qin Wan asked back: "Liexi, if one day you want to marry someone, how much do you think your husband should give you as a betrothal gift?"

Lie Xie had never thought about this question before, so she didn't know how to answer it: "Your Majesty, my subordinates are secret guards, and they cannot discuss marriage like ordinary women."

Qin Wan smiled: "Three cities plus a thousand acres of fertile land, do you think that's too much?"

Lie Xie shook his head: "Compared to the importance of the empress, King Ning of Beirong gave too little, and His Majesty has already sternly rejected these conditions."

"The civil and military officials of the Manchu Dynasty said he was crazy," Qin Wan said with a twist of his mouth, "Yuan Chen didn't accept the five-year armistice agreement and the removal of the tea and mulberry sanctions. I didn't expect me to be so valuable."

"Of course I don't accept it." Yuan Chen's voice suddenly sounded from behind Qin Wan, "No one in the world can exchange my Wan Wan with any conditions."

Qin Wan turned around, a gust of wind passed by, and the petals of the crabapple fluttered down with the wind.

"Since then, those ministers in the previous court should say that I am a demon concubine who has brought disaster to the country." Qin Wan chuckled, brushing her hair back.

Yuan Chen approached Qin Wan: "So what about the demon concubine, let them talk, I don't care."

"Yuan Chen, today is the Shangsi Festival, I want to go out to the palace for an outing." Qin Wan's eyes were bright, and the corner of his mouth was smiling, "How about taking me to enjoy the scenery of the south of the Yangtze River in Yuheng?"

"Okay." Yuan Chen agreed without thinking.

The carriage of the palace came out of the palace gate in a mighty way. At Qin Wan's request, Yuan Chen and her both changed into poor clothes, and came all the way to the shore of Xinhu Lake in Yuheng City. You can have a panoramic view of the spring scenery in the south of the Yangtze River.

"Yuan Chen, look there is a market over there, I want to buy rouge." Qin Wan pointed to the Shangsi market next to Xin Lake.

The market is full of young men and women dressed in spring clothes, and the crowd is surging shoulder to shoulder.Vendors on both sides gather to sell, flowers, hairpins, rouge, rouge, powder, fan-faced kites...everything you expect.

When Fang Qing and Lie Xi heard Qin Wan's proposal, their expressions changed: "Your Majesty, you and Your Majesty are in micro-clothes. There are many complicated people here, and it is very dangerous."

Qin Wan turned cold: "Isn't this the capital of Nanliang? It's not a joke that the capital is not safe."

As she said that, she said to Yuan Chen angrily, "Your people don't let me go shopping."

Yuan Chen immediately reprimanded Fang Qinglie and the two in a cold voice: "wanwan wants to buy a rouge, but you can't protect it? What do I want you to do!"

Fang Lie and the two looked at each other, but they both lowered their heads and did not speak.

Qin Wan took two quick steps: "Let's go, Yuan Chen, I still want to buy jewelry and a kite."

Yuan Chen smiled and followed Qin Wan's footsteps.

Fang Qing and Lie Xie became extremely nervous. Although there were 50 eunuchs from the school factory and [-] guards from the secret guard around them, they still did not dare to neglect. After all, there were too many people at the rally today, and they followed and protected Yuan Shen. It was really difficult for Qin Wan and the two of them.

"Yuan Chen, tell Fang Qinglie and the others to stay away. Seeing their expressions, I'm not in the mood to buy anything anymore," Qin Wan said.

Yuan Chen glared at Fang Qing, and Fang Qing could only back away with Lie Hao, keeping a distance of ten steps from Qin Wan and the others.

Qin Wan bought as he walked, and bought almost all the items in the stalls. Among them, he bought ten round fans embroidered by Jiangnan, a box of various colors of rouge, and jewelry as soon as he saw it, whether it was suitable or not. .She even took a fancy to a few calligraphy and paintings, and Yuan Chen bought them all.Then there is the largest kite at the kite booth, the most expensive golden branch peony at the flower booth, the mask of a beautiful official at the mask booth, and even a pair of carved mahogany chairs and a dressing table with a hollowed-out carved bronze mirror made of golden nanmu...

So those secret guards and school factory eunuchs gradually turned into handymen carrying handbags on their shoulders, carrying the things Qin Wan bought in large and small bags.

Seeing Qin Wan's strong purchasing power, those stall owners gathered around Qin Wan with the most expensive and best things on the stall, and kept introducing their products to her.

"I want this, I want this, I want all of these!" Qin Wan pointed to the various products sent by the merchant, and took them all as ordered, then turned her head and said to Yuan Yuan, "Today is the last time I come to Yuheng. Happy day, I will buy all the good things back."

Yuan Chen had never gone shopping with any woman, let alone spent so much money on shopping for any woman.As an emperor, he had no worries about food and clothing, but this was the first time he experienced shopping. Looking at Qin Wan's joy when shopping, Yuan Chen seemed to feel the same way.

Even the people around began to gather together slowly, and everyone wanted to see how someone so rich could make the already lively market even more exciting by himself.

At this time, Fang Qing already felt a faint fear, he stopped Lie Xian: "Sir Lie, the miscellaneous family thinks it's wrong!"

"What's wrong?" Lie Xie asked.

Fang Qing's eyes were condensed: "I don't know, but the behavior of Concubine Qin is too abnormal."

"..." Lie Xian looked at Qin Wan who was surrounded by vendors and crowds from a distance, and his expression became more tense.

In the crowd, Qin Wan stood beside Yuan Chen with a smile, and she whispered close to Yuan Chen's ear: "Yuan Chen, I heard that people in Jiangnan only love flowers, birds, love and moon, and don't like money and copper. I have a bold plan. Let's see." Is this statement correct?"

Yuan Shen was a little curious: "What plan?"

"Give me the money bag." Qin Wan said.

Yuan Chen untied the money bag from his waist and put it in Qin Wan's hand. Qin Wan was jolted upside down, most of which contained broken silver and copper coins, which was full of weight in his hand.

Suddenly, Qin Wan reached out and took out a handful of silver from the purse, and shouted loudly, "Happy Shangsi Festival to everyone! The silver is distributed! Everyone, hurry up and grab it!"

As she spoke, she tossed the silver and copper coins into the sky, and suddenly the crowd rioted, and everyone began to snap up the silver and copper coins scattered in mid-air.

"It's broken!" Fang Qing's expression changed drastically.

But Qin Wan threw away the money in the bag like crazy, the scene was in chaos, and it was too late for Fang Qinglie and others to rush through the crowd.

Qin Wan pulled out the silver hairpin from his head, quickly removed the small sheath with the tip of the hairpin, aimed at Yuan Chen's back and stabbed it hard.The toxin was injected into Yuan Chen's body in an instant, and when he turned to look at Qin Wan in disbelief, his whole body was already paralyzed, and he couldn't even make a sound.

Qin Wan threw down her hairpin, quickly put on the beauty mask she just bought, squatted down, and quickly disappeared into the crowd.
