A Thousand Gold Order: Inheritance

Chapter 332 Want to hear my explanation? (two more)
Qi Huan was curious, so she turned her head and whispered to Gu Zhan who was standing behind her and just protecting her: "Why is my third uncle here? Is it a special post from the palace for him?"

This question is also a bit beyond Gu Zhan's cognition.

He shook his head: "I don't know, I haven't heard His Royal Highness mention it."

But Qi Huan knew that even if it was a post specially made by the palace...

But whenever Qi Wenyan didn't want to come, he had plenty of ways to push him away.

At this moment, her third uncle was focusing on watching the ceremony as if nothing had happened. No matter how gossiping Qi Huan was, she was not desperate enough to chase after her third uncle and ask for melons in person, but she couldn't help but secretly ponder and guess——

Did that little princess, who probably wasn't too enlightened, discover what this black-bellied man wanted?

Everyone was concentrating on watching the ceremony, but she stared at her third uncle seriously and began to study gossip.

But the scrutinizing and ambiguous eyes were too persistent and focused, which made it difficult for Qi Wenyan not to talk to her at first, and finally couldn't bear it anymore and threw a sharp eye knife warning from the other side of the crowd.

Although Qi Huan prided herself on being brave, the whole family was inexplicably afraid of her third uncle from the bottom of her heart.

Even though Qi Wenyan didn't have any obvious expression on his face, he just glanced over with a cold look...

Qi Huan was also heartbroken, and subconsciously backed away for a while exaggeratedly.

Unexpectedly——

He stepped on Gu Zhan's foot.

Gu Zhan quickly raised his hand to protect her.

He was already nearly a head taller than Qi Huan, and he was standing behind him, but when Qi Huan retreated, he protected him again...

The posture is more or less overly intimate.

At first glance, it looks like Qi Huan, the little bird, is leaning in his arms and being hugged by him.

If it's in private, it's okay to kiss and hug, but this is in a crowd, in public!

A few people nearby were startled and looked sideways.

Gu Zhan was thin-skinned, and immediately coughed dryly, straightened her shoulders to help her regain her footing, and then reminded her in a low voice, "There are too many people, just stand here and don't walk around."

Qi Huan's face also turned red, but he was really embarrassed, so he quickly looked away and lowered his eyes.

When the two of them got engaged, they made a high-profile affair, and all the honorable people in the capital knew that although the interaction between the two was a bit too intimate, others didn't want to talk about it, so they just watched the excitement.

And after being interrupted like this, after——

Even Qi Huan didn't dare to look at Qi Wenyan any more.

At the same time, today's protagonist is the one who pays close attention to Qi Wenyan like her——

Princess Yuncheng of Zhaoyang.

When she came out, the garden was already crowded with people, and the periphery of the venue was surrounded by people waiting to watch the ceremony.

It stands to reason that on such a big occasion where two or three hundred people dressed up, Qi Wenyan was wearing the most ordinary official uniform, blending in with the crowd, even if he was outstanding, he shouldn't be so conspicuous.

but--

Yun Cheng still saw him the first time he came out.

He stood in the crowd, standing tall, his face was as cold and indifferent as usual, but his eyes were focused and direct, looking at her very clearly and firmly.

Of course Yun Cheng knew that he should not have appeared on this occasion today.

and--

She remembered the gift that this person gave her specially a few days ago.

At the moment when the eyes of the two met, there was a ripple in the girl's heart.

Even if she restrained her mind-wandering for a brief moment, she had to admit——

The appearance of this neighbor today caused her mood to change, and she began to feel that this extravagant ceremony was not that unbearable.

Afterwards, she did her best to be the face of the imperial court, a good daughter of the father, the queen and the queen. She was not distracted by other things throughout the whole process, but followed the instructions of the etiquette officer and went through all the rituals perfectly.

The whole process is lengthy and cumbersome.

It went on for more than an hour.

Waiting until the ceremony is finally completed——

The two emperors and queens went to the apse to change their clothes together with His Royal Highness Princess Zhaoyang, so that the others could move freely again.

Most of the elders went directly to the water pavilion where the luncheon was going to be held later, while the young people scattered in groups of three or four in the garden, chatting or taking a walk.

And the central topic that most people talk about -

It was nothing more than the appearance of Her Royal Highness Princess Zhaoyang, who was almost born out of nowhere.

Yun Cheng's face was obviously traumatized, and because it was a family scandal and a secret of the royal family, the emperor and empress were forbidden to publicize it, so except for a few veteran concubines in the palace and some elders in the clan, everyone else I have no way of knowing, and I am very curious in private.

Ye Xunyi now also hates this princess who once "bullied" her, taking advantage of Concubine Sheng Xian's obedience to her now, she got close to her just after the ceremony, and went up to help her personally: "Mother Concubine, do you want to continue sitting here, or go to the banquet and wait?"

Concubine Sheng Xian's concentration is still there, and after more than an hour of delay, she is already calm enough.

The people who happened to be sitting on both sides of her had already left, so she sat still and motioned for Ye Xunyi to sit down together.

Then, as a mother-in-law and daughter-in-law, they chatted in a low voice under the cover of drinking tea: "Is the matter of Jinlanyuan going smoothly?"

Ye Xunyi's face froze slightly.

Even if Yang Panyu was really crazy, she would not admit that she was driven crazy by herself, not to mention she suspected that the other party was pretending to be crazy to avoid her.

She twitched the corners of her mouth in embarrassment, showing regret: "Something went wrong, Mrs. Yang has been locked up for a long time, and she seems to be a little mentally disturbed. Erchen looked for him, and before she could say a word, she started chasing madly. Hit, speak incoherently..."

Before she finished speaking, Concubine Sheng Xian was startled: "You mean she's crazy?"

Ye Xunyi said: "It looks like it, but it's not necessarily true. I think Concubine Mu can call someone to observe or test it afterward. It's also possible that she wanted to get away completely and played tricks."

Concubine Sheng Xian is indeed very concerned about Yang Panyu's exact fate and status at the moment.

It's not that she still wants to take advantage of it, but Qi Huan's words are like a blow to the head, and she still listens to it.

If the emperor really has always seen the actions of their mother and son, and has been turning a blind eye to the net, then if they continue to go their own way, Yang Panyu's end will be her last. A true role model!
Her heart trembled slightly, and she nodded her head with all her strength: "Okay, then I understand."

After a pause, she cheered up again, looked at Ye Xunyi again and asked, "If Yang Panyu can't make this move, I have to think of other ways. Zheng'er is not in the capital now, and everything can only be done." You and I should worry more about planning for him, if he gets a better future, it will naturally be your blessing, understand?"

She has always had a disdainful attitude towards Ye Xunyi. Even though she was recently brainwashed by the other party and formed an alliance, she still maintained a dominant attitude towards Ye Xunyi in private.

These words were tantamount to beatings, and it sounded like they were forcing Ye Xunyi to continue working hard for their mother and son.

Ye Xunyi sneered inwardly, but on the surface he was also acting, acting very submissive: "Yes, all my ministers understand."

Seeing the satisfaction on Concubine Sheng Xian's face, she looked at the right time, and asked again: "Mother Concubine, I had a relationship with that Highness Princess Zhaoyang before, but I kept forgetting to ask, she What's going on with that face? Looks like it's an injury...is it an injury you got after joining the army?"

Concubine Sheng Xian now has a barrier and guard against her in her heart, so she naturally refuses to reveal the secrets of the palace to her, she only vaguely said: "It happened many years ago, Your Majesty loves her, and the harem is not allowed to mention these unpleasant things , It’s no good knowing too much, so you don’t need to inquire.”

Ye Xunyi knew about this Princess Zhaoyang's favor in her previous life, otherwise she wouldn't be so jealous that even Yun Heng became the emperor.

Seeing Concubine Sheng Xian's attitude, it was impossible to tell her. In order not to be annoying, she still kept her mouth docile.

Concubine Sheng Xian didn't want to stay with her, so she took a sip of tea patiently and then put down the cup of tea and got up: "The sun is a bit strong here, I will go to the banquet first."

She was willing to get rid of Ye Xunyi first, but it was inconvenient to say so.

But Ye Xunyi was full of thoughts about Yun Cheng, so naturally he didn't want to stick to her and be restricted by her, so he quickly shied away: "The people who went to the banquet first seem to be elders, and the identity of the son is not the concubine of the mansion. , somewhat humiliating His Highness and Mother Concubine, I'd better go with the crowd later."

What she said really was for the sake of Yun Zheng's mother and son wholeheartedly, and she was humble and smart.

Concubine Sheng Xian couldn't help but took a deep look at her, her heart was unavoidably shaken, and her position began to spin again.

But then, she shifted her attention for the time being, and said coldly: "Well, don't make trouble. Your Majesty treats Zhaoyang like an eyeball. Today, she will definitely not allow even the slightest mistake in the ceremony. No one should mess with her."

"Yes, my son, please remember." Ye Xunyi responded, but he was very disdainful in his heart.

She even thought that His Majesty the Emperor might be sick!
She has seen mothers who are partial to their daughters like the Yang family of the Marquis of Changning. After all, adopting a daughter will indeed make her closer and more affectionate to her biological mother, but fathers in ordinary families use their daughters as marriage tools and pawns. The so-called pampering is just like raising a dog. When you are in a good mood, tease and reward some good things. How can there be any real feelings?

His Majesty the emperor is still a man of many affairs, and it's not that he doesn't have a son to teach him to love, so why would he hold a daughter as rare as a jewel?
Concubine Sheng Xian actually noticed her absent-mindedness and insincere words, but she didn't point it out after all, she gave her a wink, and her big maid stepped forward to help her hand, and the master and servant left.

When I walked onto the water corridor, there was no one around.

The palace lady took the initiative to report: "The servant girl ordered Lian Yu to go back first. What she said was similar to what Mrs. Ye said just now. After Mrs. Ye entered the Hibiscus Orchid Garden, Mrs. Yang went crazy, thanks to the guards rushing in. Get them under control in time, otherwise the Ye family may not be able to come out in full. As for whether Miss Qi had been hiding in the dark and waiting... even Yu can't explain."

But no matter what, Ye Xunyi's actions today are indeed completely in his hands.

It's because they didn't attack on the spot, so they have the opportunity to ponder and study the inside story here now.

Concubine Sheng Xian thought about these stupid things all morning, and felt a dull pain in her head.

She pressed her temple: "Let's not talk about that, now, you go to look for Butler Liu outside the palace gate."

She signaled the maid to come over, told Qi Huan the inside story of Ye Xunyi's pregnancy and miscarriage, and sent the maid to confirm, and then said: "Go quietly, if Steward Liu says it's true , then you tell him not to let Mrs. Ye know that I have asked about this matter afterwards."

The palace lady was already shocked by the news, swallowed nervously, then cautiously agreed, turned and walked back.

Back on the shore, when she met her other concubines who were walking towards her and asked her, she explained casually: "Our empress said that the handkerchief was dirty after drinking tea, so I asked my maidservant to go back to the bedroom to get another piece."

These harem women are usually pampered and live a delicate life. This is a normal need, and other people naturally don't think about it.

On the other hand, after the ceremony was over, Qi Huan mustered up the courage to say hello to Qi Wenyan. By the way, he thanked Yunxi in person for finding the antidote for Yunxi last month, but she didn't dare to come again because of the second half of the ceremony. Peeking at the other party, after the end, when there were more people walking around, she searched around and didn't see her third uncle again.

People like Qi Wenyan are elusive and unfathomable. Qi Huan is not worried about what trouble he will get into if he is alone in the palace or wanders around, as long as he doesn't make something happen on a whim...

It's time for the host to burn incense!
So, since he missed it, Qi Huan no longer insisted on looking for him, and led Gu Zhan to find Yang Shi to say hello.

At that time, Qi Wenyan was indeed on the order.

When the ceremony was about to end, while everyone's attention was on Yun Cheng, he quietly turned around and withdrew from the crowd, wandering alone into the bamboo garden next to the small garden.

Today, the scope of activities of the imperial permission is in that small garden, which is also the courtyard of Queen Gu's bedroom. In fact, anyone who knows a little bit of propriety and rules will not come to this place without authorization.

He seemed to be hiding from the quiet, standing on a shady path, closing his eyes and listening to the rustling sound of bamboo leaves rubbing against the breeze.

Very comfortable look.

Ye Xunyi deliberately walked over quietly.

In fact, it was pretending to be profound and mysterious, and wanted to give the other party a blow.

And Qi Wenyan was waiting for her to appear, and with his vigilance and hearing, he has been in control of the other party's every move since entering the garden, but he pretended not to notice, and did not turn his eyes back before Ye Xunyi made a sound That's all.

Ye Xunyi stood behind him for a while, and after confirming that the other party had no response, he chuckled and said, "Master Qi is in a bad mood or in a good mood, His Royal Highness is looking for you everywhere, but you are hiding alone. Come here?"

And the reason why she was able to find him accurately was because she was not interested in Yun Cheng's ceremony at all, instead she watched the man's every move from the corner of her eye the whole time, including the way he focused on watching the ceremony and looked at Yun Cheng.

Subconsciously, Ye Xunyi refused to admit that a person like Qi Wenyan would be attracted to any woman, but even if he knew that the other party was focused on acting...

This also caused extreme unwillingness and resentment in her heart who had been beaten and treated coldly in front of this man many times.

A disfigured woman with a surly and defiant personality, looking at her whole body, there is nothing redeeming about her!

But just because she has a good pair of parents and the status of the most honored first princess in the whole world, can such a proud and indifferent Qi Wenyan bow his head to her and "see her differently"?

When she went to find him, he sneered and mocked him, refused to be with him, and even suppressed and persecuted him for Qi Huan's so-called relatives who had no relationship with him at all...

Ye Xunyi has had too much resentment and injustice in her previous and previous lives, and these accumulating resentments have completely swallowed her normal heart.

Therefore, she clearly had an intuition in her heart that a man like Qi Wenyan was dangerous and should not be provoked, and she still couldn't help it...

Can't help but follow him, wanting to try to challenge him to defeat him!
Qi Wenyan didn't turn a blind eye to her, after hearing her finish, he opened his eyes again and turned around.

However, there was no emotion on his face.

"I remember I said I told you not to provoke me." He opened his mouth, and only gave such a cold response, without even the intention of being angry and reprimanding.

But it was this kind of indifference and indifference that aroused Ye Xunyi's determination to win. She looked directly at the man's face, sneered and mocked, "I used to look for you because I thought you wouldn't give up. Yu Su is a person who refuses to succumb to fate and power, so he wants to join hands with you to fight against these injustices, but in the end, I overestimated and misunderstood, Mr. Qi, you are finally bowing down for the power and becoming a Your majesty arranged for you to live in your mansion, didn’t he? Just to create an opportunity for you to have a long-term relationship with his precious daughter? Is it for official position or wealth? To call you this once unreliable man Master Shaoqing of the first Dali Temple bent his waist?"

For a man, when she said such words, it could be said that every sentence was stabbing a knife in his heart.

Not to mention a proud person like Qi Wenyan, even an ordinary person would be irritated, and would argue with her on the spot whether it was justified or not.

But Qi Wenyan didn't.

He stood face to face with her, his face still calm.

But because he was standing so close, Ye Xunyi could clearly see that in his deep, cold and emotionless eyes, the barrier of ice and snow that had been built there was melting and dissolving at a speed visible to the naked eye.

Gradually, there was emotion in those eyes, which became soft and clear.

This kind of change appeared on the man in front of him, it was no less than a rare astronomical spectacle in a hundred years.

This is an extremely outstanding man, Ye Xunyi's heart was even touched by him unexpectedly, and he hesitated for a while.

Can--

She found out very clearly that he was not actually looking at her!
Under the scene where these two people were confronting each other, Qi Wenyan suddenly said gently and peacefully: "Want to hear my explanation?"

When he is willing to speak calmly, his voice is actually extremely mellow and pleasant.

This time Ye Xunyi felt her heart tremble violently.

But she followed the man's line of sight and turned around slowly, only to see a girl standing behind her with a serene and pure face.

　However, although……

　　This Ye Xunyi should have died long ago, I know, but well, all the plot needs her promotion and fulfillment, after all, she is a person with golden fingers, so it's better to do more work...
