After Princess Xuanxue came down from the mountain, the whole capital was in chaos.

Yuan Qi was not surprised at all that Princess Liyue befriended her. After all, she was a rare helper to those in power.

Although the Queen is very low-key and doesn't fight for anything, it doesn't mean that the Queen really doesn't want to grab anything.

The queen gave birth to three children, two daughters and a son, but the son did not have the chance to become the crown prince. This would be unfair to anyone.

Princess Liyue condescended to sit next to Yuan Qi and took the initiative to chat with Yuan Qi. They talked about everything from women's hair styles to rouge and gouache to the fabrics of clothes.

Yuan Qi knew that Princess Liyue would not condescend to talk to Yuan Qi for no reason. Princess Liyue must have a purpose.

What she doesn't understand is why Princess Liyue wants to find Xiangli Youming? Do you really want to marry him?
Yuan Qi stared at Xiangli Youming for a moment. Xiangli Youming kept staring at Yuan Qi nervously and not at Princess Liyue. Yuan Qi knew that Xiangli Youming was still the same Xiangli Youming, always cold-hearted.

Yuan Qi could tell that Princess Liyue was very enthusiastic and was always actively looking for topics to talk about, giving people the feeling of meeting her too late.

After the lunch, Princess Liyue took Yuan Qi into the palace to play, but Yuan Qi declined. She really didn't have a good impression of the palace.

It will be Xiangli Mu's birthday in a few days, his fiftieth birthday. Many guests from the Xiangli family branch came, as well as many dignitaries with other surnames in Kyoto. Almost all the prominent people arrived.

Yuan Qi saw Feng Aotian, Mr. Bai, Bai Fujun, Bai Youhui and their father. Of course Jiang Zhengqing also came, and even the three brothers Jiang Juncai, Jiang Junjing and Jiang Junyu also came.

Xiangli's family has never entertained outsiders before, and this time is an exception.

Jiang Juncai followed her inside and muttered in her ear: "I guess the Xiangli family wants to let the emperor know that the four major families are not scattered and can be united."

Yuan Qi doesn't have any special thoughts on this. Whether the four major families are united or not has nothing to do with her. In her opinion, the four major families have deep roots and it is not easy to uproot them. Maybe the emperor's throne is not guaranteed. indefinite.

I have heard of aristocratic families that have been passed down for thousands of years, but I have never heard of imperial power inherited from the previous year. Historically, imperial power changes every two to three hundred years, which shows that imperial power cannot defeat aristocratic families.

"Does the emperor still want to deal with the four major families?" Yuan Qi asked as he walked.

Jiang Juncai said: "I don't know, how can the emperor let others know about such secret things? But the emperor has summoned Xuan Qing frequently recently, and I don't know what matters were discussed. This time the head of the Xiangli family held this birthday banquet, and it was made clear that it was for Your Majesty, please look at me."

Yuan Qi looked at him with a half-smile but not a smile: "You eat the emperor's food, and you are here too. Are you not slapping the emperor in the face?"

Jiang Juncai answered seriously: "I am the next head of the Jiang family, so naturally I have to stand with the Jiang family. I don't have to be the commander of the imperial army, but my position as the head of the Jiang family must be kept. Without the Jiang family, I am nothing."

"You can carry it clearly." Jiang Junyu next to him also heard, "Xiao Qi, don't worry, the four major families are full of talents now, and there are people in all departments of the court. Not to mention that the emperor wants to get rid of them all, even if he wants to get rid of some of them It’s difficult for the whole family, so you don’t have to worry about the safety of the four major families.”

"I'm not worried. I just think that the emperor and the throne will not last long. He is seeking death." Yuan Qi also knows a little about this truth.

Many people from the four major families came, and the men gathered in the east flower hall to chat about the current political situation. The women were chatting lively in the west flower hall about Mrs. Sorimu's jewelry and clothes.

Mrs. Xianglimu is not the original wife, but the daughter of the original wife. She is more than ten years younger than Xianglimu and only in her thirties. She is the biological mother of Xiangli Youming and Xiangli Baoyu.

Yuan Qi was actually not interested in women's clothes, jewelry, and rouge and gouache. She was bored listening to it. Xiangli Baoyu came out of nowhere and looked at her with big flashing eyes and a sweet smile. She pulled Yuan Qi's sleeve: "It's so boring here. My brother invites you to play in Jiuxiao Tower. going or not?"

"Yeah." Yuan Qi left without even thinking about it.

Jiang Jiulu and Jiang Trulu were just chatting with the girls from the Bai family and the Feng family, and didn't even notice when Yuan Qi left.

As soon as he came out of the flower hall, Yuan Qi saw Xiangli Youming.

Xiangli Youming was unsure. He didn't know if Yuan Qi was willing to reward him, so he waited here uneasily.

Seeing his nervous expression, Yuan Qi wanted to laugh. She asked jokingly: "Little Master Jiu is the next head of the Xiangli family. Why don't you accompany the guests in the flower hall and come out to play with me?"

"The topics they talk about are too boring. I don't want to listen. There are two brothers and uncles on the left and right. It doesn't matter if I'm here or not." Xiangli Youming felt much more comfortable. As long as Yuan Qi was willing to come out and give him this opportunity, he would Now that I know, Yuan Qi is not completely ruthless towards him.

Xiangli Mansion is very big, and it takes two cups of tea to walk from the Flower Hall to the Jiuxiao Tower.

The four guards of Xiangli Youming served tea, fruits, and snacks and dried meat. In the blink of an eye, Yuan Qi was filled with food, all of her favorite tastes.

Seeing that there was no one else here, Yuan Qi spoke directly.

Xiangli Youming was looking forward to it.

Who knows that what Yuan Qi said has nothing to do with the relationship between men and women: "I saw that your second uncle has evil spirits on his body. He is practicing evil skills. Do you know?"

Xiangli Youming was disappointed and helpless, but he quickly made up his mind. The seventh sister was still young, and it was too early to talk about the relationship between men and women, so she couldn't rush it.

"My father and brother both guessed it, and I also saw that something was wrong. My second uncle was disfigured last year, and the doctors said he would never recover. But five months later, he came out to see people intact. At that time My father guessed that the second uncle had some adventures or practiced some evil techniques, but we still couldn’t tell what evil techniques he had practiced.”

Now Xiangli Youming thought about something again. When Yuan Qi talked about this matter, he might also be concerned about him, fearing that he would be harmed by his second uncle.

Xiangli Baoyu held his chin and looked at the two of them with an innocent look. She and Yuan Qi are the same age, but her eyes are clear, without any distracting thoughts, and she doesn't care about government affairs. She just waits for her brother to finish talking to Yuan Qi while she chats with Yuan Qi.

"I see that his cultivation is enough to crush your secret guards. You should be more careful." Yuan Qi squeezed a grape and stuffed it into his mouth, and nodded, "It tastes good."

Xiangli Youming didn't dare to mention that he wanted to marry Yuan Qi, for fear of scaring him away, so he could only continue along with Yuan Qi's topic.

"Do you have any powerful magic weapon to deal with my second uncle?"

Yuan Qi thought for a while: "It really does. A few days ago, I asked Tu Shanli to get some resurrecting grass and weaved three resurrecting whips. I used one myself and gave one to Tu Shanli. There is still one left. This resurrecting whip He happens to be your second uncle's nemesis." (End of Chapter)
