The second marriage of the emperor's favorite princess

Because of this incident, the harem seemed much calmer.But Bai Lian knew that it was just the calm before the storm.Ye Xinxin might realize that Wuhua Palace is not as easy to bully as she looks, and she might be even more anxious to get rid of her.

Bai Lian sat on the soft couch, playing chess by himself.Qiu Mu came back early to say hello, and sat aside to watch her play chess.

"Mother's chess skills have improved a lot." He sighed.

Bai Lian said with a smile: "I have also learned to play chess seriously... There are many things to worry about now. After everything calms down, I will study hard."

"Well, mother must be proficient in it."

"Come on, bridesmaid will play next game."

Bai Lian and Qiu Mu cleaned up the chessboard, and then the two started a game, one black and one white.Qiu Mu has been influenced by Qiu Xuan since he was a child, and he has a deep understanding of chess. It seems very easy to play against Bai Lian.Bai Lian was also very serious, and Qiu Mu also guided her seriously.

"Father's chess skills are superb. If he has time, mother can find him to play chess, and play a game with him, which is better than the guidance of a famous teacher."

"He refuses to play chess with me when he has time, because he dislikes me for being too weak."

"I believe that one day Father will look forward to the game with Mother...Mother, you lost."

Looking at the chessboard, Bai Lian couldn't help sighing, "It's the year of the monkey."

Qiu Mu smiled and said softly, "One day."

Bai Lian raised her head to look at him, and for some reason, she seemed to see Qiu Xuan's figure.Qiu Mu is Qiu Xuan's adopted son, not his own, but he is more and more like his father.The shy and innocent child at the beginning is now as gentle and considerate as a man.Those beautiful eyes looked at her quietly, and the smile on her lips was both warm and full of encouragement.

Bai Lian lowered his eyes and silently picked up the chess pieces, his hands trembling a little.Qiu Mu frowned and asked, "Mother, are you feeling unwell?"

Bai Lian raised his eyes and smiled: "No, Mu'er, are you hungry?"

"I'm not hungry. After the morning court, my father asked me to go to the apse to talk, and I ate a lot of pastries there."

Bai Lian was not surprised. Duanmu Canglan did not reject this adopted son, Qiuxuan's son, and Qiumu's intelligence also made him appreciate it very much.

Does he still miss Xuan Yu?If Xuan Yu is still alive, also at Shi Yao's age, and sensible enough to accept his guidance, he must be eager to discuss issues with his son and face difficulties together.But Xuan Yu has long since died, Xuan Rui is still young, Shi Yao is a girl, and there is only one adopted son left.

In Qiumu's heart, she also respected Duanmu Canglan.At first, I was grateful to him for adopting him, and then I was overwhelmed by his talent.Duanmu Canglan is indeed a very powerful person, and it is also a proud thing to be his child.

"What did the father discuss with you?" Bai Lian started to play chess pieces again, while chatting with Qiu Mu relaxedly.

"Father asked me to express my thoughts on the views put forward by the courtiers and workers this morning."

"What does your father think of what you said?"

"He just said I had improved a lot and then corrected me a few points."

It was really a conversation between father and son. Although Bai Lian hadn't participated in it, he felt relieved. [

"Mother, I think father is a bit strange."

After hesitating, Qiu Mu still talked about the confusion in his heart.Bai Lian put down the chess pieces in his hand, raised his head and looked at Qiu Mu suspiciously: "You think father is strange?"

"He looked at me in a daze. You know he's never a person who would be in a daze. His brows are always slightly furrowed, and even when he praises me, he won't open them completely. I think the emperor has a very serious It’s still kind of sad.”

Qiu Mu is a sensitive child. Although he is a boy, he has the delicacy of a girl, so Bai Lian always feels that he is very similar to Qiu Xuan.Now, he noticed the strangeness of Duanmu Canglan, Duanmu Canglan, feeling sad?

He never lets people see what's on his mind.Because Qiu Mu is still a child, so he doesn't hide it too much?When she was with him, although she could feel that his happiness was not really happy, he was always like that, and she couldn't see that he was sad.

Why is he sad?

Bai Lian asked Lily to cook pear soup, and took Qingyu to the imperial study.

It was already evening, and it was getting dark early.The imperial study room was brightly lit, and when Bai Lian walked to the edge of the rockery, he would unconsciously take a look at it.

The guards came over to greet him, and Bai Lian supported his stomach and said with a smile, "Please inform me."

The guards retreated in response, and after a while, Lu Hai ran out: "Your Majesty, Your Majesty has a request."

After finishing speaking, he took the food box from Qing Yu's hand and carried it himself.Bai Lian smiled at him and walked into the imperial study.Duanmu Canglan had already reached the door, supported her and said, "I'm inconvenient, why are you running around?"

Bai Lian said softly: "I miss you."

Duanmu Canglan smiled, and helped her to the big dragon chair, and Baili settled down: "I dare not sit."

Duanmu Canglan raised her eyebrows and said, "I let you sit, what are you afraid of?"

As he spoke, he pulled her to sit on the dragon chair together.The dragon chair is very big, with a golden dragon engraved on the back, and splendid armrests on both sides. Four golden cushions are placed on the sides and behind. Bai Lian used three.

Lu Hai brought the pear soup over and put it in a small bowl. Duanmu Canglan took a few sips and asked them to take it out.Then he took another memorial and said to Bai Lian: "I don't have time now, if you want to see me, just watch me quietly, don't make a sound, you know?"

"Yes, Your Majesty, the concubine will never make a sound."

Duanmu Canglan smiled, pinched her cheek, and read the booklet.Bai Lian leaned on the cushion of the armrest and watched him work.

His body is straight, his eyes are half-down, and his long eyelashes can be clearly seen.Looking at the facial features from the side, there is more of a tough, uncanny masterpiece. How can a person look so good-looking?

Bai Lian pursed his lips, even though he watched it for many years, he still sighed like he was seeing it for the first time.Is such a man really hers?

"Cang Lan, you haven't told me whether the pear soup is good or not." After a long time, I feel a little lonely.Duanmu Canglan turned her head and raised her eyebrows to look at her, she stuck out her tongue.

"It's delicious, don't bother me anymore." [

"Oh, no more."

The whole body is leaning on the chair, stroking the stomach with small hands.The little guy is also very quiet, is he afraid of disturbing his father?

Bai Lian smiled, then raised his head to look at Duanmu Canglan, he was so serious, how could he see what was on his mind?

In front of her, he would not show it.Don't let her talk, let alone try to find out anything.Duanmu Canglan, why are you always in such a state of affairs that you don't say anything, just suffer in silence?

Bai Lian's eyes were a little heavy, was it because he was unwell and didn't sleep well?The eyelids opened and closed, and finally closed tightly. --
