The next morning, as soon as Huai Moran opened his eyes, he saw Liangchen adding charcoal to the stove.She intuitively felt that the temperature today seemed to be much colder than usual, and she couldn't help sighing that it was already deep winter, and in a month's time, it would be the Chinese New Year.It's a pity that in her first year here, that person wasn't around.

"Your Majesty, you're awake." Seeing Huai Moran waking up, Liang Chen smiled, and at the same time raised the window higher, "It's snowing outside, it should be much colder today, Madam, please wear more clothes."

Huai Moran smiled lightly and said, "Really? It's snowing." A look of surprise flashed in her eyes, she turned over and sat down on the bed, and was served by Liang Chen to put on a thick beige. , the whole body of the beizi is embroidered with water-clear silver-patterned peonies, not only does it not feel bulky, but it has an indescribable elegance.

Liang Chen walked around Huai Moran, and said with a smile: "Your Majesty really looks good in anything."

Huai Moran smiled lightly, came to the window, and at a glance, it was pure white.

"This snow is quite heavy." Huai Moran said casually, and when she raised her hand, she had already folded a red plum from a plum tree outside the window. A layer of snow fell on her hand immediately, and the coldness made her Unable to shudder, she withdrew her hand and blew the falling snow on the flowers, and the pretty flowers were as charming as dusty pearls being washed away.

Liangchen brought hot water, saw Huai Moran holding a plum blossom, and said curiously: "Your Majesty, tell me you like plum blossoms. Tomorrow, my servants will ask you to get some plum blossom hairpins for you. These are short-lived, and you are dead now." It’s still bright, but it will wither after a while, which is boring.”

Huai Moran didn't speak, she just folded a plum blossom, but after listening to Liang Chen's words, she realized something.I can't help but think of Empress Ye He. Back then, she should have also been a bright flower on the branch. It was Baili Zhancheng and Ye Hexiong's strong picking that made her wither prematurely.

Every time she smiles gently, but this kind of smile is somewhat hollow. Is it because she has never been really happy?But, why is Baili Yeheng so indifferent and alienated to her?Obviously caring about this mother, but always watching from a distance.Is it because he hated her that he couldn't get the love of his father since he was born?I still hate her for being so willing to be a victim of power, but no matter what time it is, she always looks like she doesn't complain.

Huai Moran frowned, but didn't think about it anymore.In a daze, she had already been washed by Liang Chen. At this time, she was sitting in front of the bronze mirror, and Liang Chen was dressing her up.

"Master." At this time, Ye Si stood outside the door and said, "The Empress asked you to enter the palace to pay her respects."

"Understood, is everything ready?"

"It's all ready."

"Well, let Leng Ao go with me, and you can do your work in the villa."

"Yes."

Although Huai Moran doesn't like to rely on others, she also knows that there are too many people trying to harm her at this time. Although she has almost recovered, compared with the ability of the ancients to fly over the wall, her kung fu is nothing at all , To protect yourself well, naturally you have to bring a "bodyguard".

After dressing up, Huai Moran had some breakfast, Liang Chen put on a white fox cloak for her, pushed the door out, Leng Ao handed over the oil paper umbrella that had just been opened, Liang Chen hurriedly took it, but Huai Moran waved his hand and said: "It's okay, Walking in the snow is also a kind of enjoyment.”

After that, she stepped on the snow all over the ground and walked forward.Liang Chen hurriedly put away the umbrella, and Leng Ao followed behind her.

The cold wind and snowflakes made Huai Moran's thoughts clear for a morning. She let out a long breath and walked more briskly.

Because of the snow, the carriage stopped outside the arched gate of the other courtyard. When the groom saw Huai Moran, he hurriedly got up and helped her and Liang Chen get into the carriage one by one. The four of them left Chongzi Villa.

When I came to the palace, there were palace people waiting outside the door according to the order, but what surprised Huai Moran was that, like the palace people at the queen's place, the emperor sent someone to wait there. It turned out that the emperor heard that the queen had summoned Huai Moran. Mo Ran, he also wanted to meet her and ask about Chongzi Villa.

Chongzi Mountain Villa has always been a well-known and extremely mysterious existence, and the identity of its owner has never been known. It was not until Huai Moran became the owner of the villa that the news about Baili Yeheng's control of Chongzi Mountain Villa spread like wildfire. It's just that no one has been able to prove this statement, and Baili Yeheng has always been peaceful, without the appearance of a "mysterious villa owner".

As for Baili Fusu, since he was able to create rumors against the Chongzi Villa, he naturally already knew who controlled the Chongzi Villa, while the old emperor and the third prince had to be far behind. Heng's forbearance was blinded, and they didn't realize what a terrible enemy they had underestimated until he asked himself to be in command.

After Huai Moran heard the father-in-law finished speaking, there were only four words in his mind: "The visitor is not kind".Thinking of this, her complexion became a little bad, and the eyes she looked at that father-in-law became a little colder.

The father-in-law was originally expecting Huai Moran to show his panicked look, but when he met her cold eyes, his whole body seemed to be buried in the snow, and he lowered his head unnaturally.

Huai Moran turned around, and said to Liang Chen and Leng Ao: "You first send the things I prepared for the empress, I will go to meet the emperor, and I will come to meet you in a while."

Liang Chen was a little worried, but Leng Ao stopped her. After all, this was in the imperial palace. No matter how much the emperor wanted to deal with Huai Moran, he would never dare to do it lightly—in any case, the safety of this country was still in the hands of Baili Yeheng. .

Huai Moran gave Liang Chen a conciliatory smile, turned around and said politely and distantly to the father-in-law: "Please lead the way, father-in-law."

How dare the father-in-law play any airs, he immediately turned around and honestly led the way for Huai Moran.Huai Moran followed him all the way across the corridor and across the bridge, but found that he was not going to the Yonghe Palace or the Imperial Study Room at all. She couldn't help being a little surprised, but she didn't ask any more questions. She just touched her arm subconsciously to make sure that the sleeve arrows were in good condition. Only then did he relax.

The father-in-law stopped in front of the dormitory built by Baili Zhan, and Huai Moran was waiting outside the hall. At this time, white snow was falling on her thick black hair, which made the black hair look like ink, and a pearl flower on it was as bright as blood.

Not far behind her, Baili Yexuan, who came to greet her, saw her from a distance, and was stunned there, which made Huai Fanghua, who came to greet her, frowned, raised her eyes, In front of the gate of the temple, there is a woman with a slim back and infinite grace, who else could it be if it wasn't her "natural enemy" Huai Moran?

Huai Fanghua also paused there, for some reason, since the previous confrontation, she had been afraid of Huai Moran in her heart, especially her cold gaze above the hall that day, whenever she thought of it, Huai Fanghua felt as if she was haunted by a nightmare , Difficulty falling asleep.

Huai Moran seemed to feel the gaze behind her, she turned her face, saw Baili Yexuan and his wife, she was slightly taken aback, then she turned her face indifferently, but she didn't know that her glance back was already a glimpse, Baili Yexuan stood there, his gaze was almost dull, he looked at her standing alone in the snow, thinking of the corners of her raised eyes when she looked back just now, those bright eyes with disdain, almost ignited his dark heart.

Eunuch Liu came out with a cold face, bowed and said: "Crown Princess, the emperor let you in."

Huai Moran frowned slightly, it was the first time she heard that the emperor asked his daughter-in-law to go to his bedroom, thinking of this, she felt that there was some conspiracy slowly unfolding, but she couldn't figure it out, so she could only follow their instructions. the route to go.

Stepping over the threshold silently, a servant girl immediately came up to remove the fox cloak for Huai Moran, and brushed the snow from her hair.

Baili Zhancheng was leaning on the couch with a pale complexion at this time, looking extremely pale.Huai Moran was a little surprised, she blessed her body, and said respectfully: "I send my respects to my father."

When Baili Zhancheng saw her, his eyes lit up, and he nodded slightly and said, "Pingshen, give me a seat, and serve tea."

Immediately, someone courteously moved the grand master's chair and served hot tea.

"Thank you, father." Huai Moran said politely, then got up, took the tea cup and finished.

Baili Zhancheng stared at Huai Moran with fixed eyebrows, as if he was looking at a stranger, because in his memory, Huai Moran was a person who didn't know the rules. Last time he had someone check her body, she took her with her when she came out. He was displeased, as if he didn't take himself seriously as the emperor at all. He thought he could catch her braids this time, but he found that she had become so respectful and polite, it was impeccable.

Huai Moran ignored Baili Zhancheng's probing eyes at all, how could he understand that because she fell in love with Baili Yeheng and because she was determined to protect him, she became cautious and not like herself in every way.Holding the teacup, she carelessly fiddled with the piece of floating tea leaves on the water surface with the tea lid, blew on the boiling hot tea, and took a sip of the tea unhurriedly.

When Baili Yexuan came in, she saw Huaimo dyeing the tea in a leisurely manner. She took off her white fox cloak, like a white lotus blooming in the dark, quiet and charming, even her slightly raised little finger, They all seem to be describing a wonderful story.

He was so fascinated that he didn't even hear Baili Zhancheng speak.

Huai Fanghua felt angry in his heart, so he couldn't help pinching Baili Yexuan's arm vigorously. He just woke up like a dream, and stared at Huai Fanghua sullenly. Huai Fanghua was stared at by that cold gaze, and immediately flinched One point, but not to be outdone, said in a low voice: "Father has called you a lot."

It was only then that Baili Yexuan realized his gaffe, he hurried forward a few steps, came to Baili Zhancheng, lifted his robe, knelt down and cupped his fists and said, "I pay my respects to my father."

Baili Zhancheng waved his hands: "Finger."

Baili Yexuan stood up, after finishing speaking, he turned around again, and said respectfully: "My brother has seen the Crown Princess."

This should be Baili Yexuan's most standard etiquette to Huai Moran. Huai Moran looked at him and said calmly, "Get up."

Huai Fanghua also bowed to the two of them according to the gourd painting, but her eyes were always a little bit unwilling, because she never thought that one day Huai Moran would really be able to sit here so upright and accept her gift. In her heart, her husband is the last heir to the throne, but with the facts before her eyes, what can she do.

"Father, I heard from the imperial doctor that your dragon is not in good health. Is the recent war in southern Xinjiang worrying you?" Baili Yexuan asked with concern as he looked like a filial son.

Baili Zhancheng sighed slightly, glanced at Huai Moran who was drinking tea indifferently, and pointed out: "With your emperor brother there, I naturally don't have to worry about it, but there have been troubles in recent years, and the treasury is not full. I just want to discuss with you how to do it.”

Huai Moran sneered in his heart, it turned out that the emperor came to her because of this matter, the royal family would be short of money?

Baili Yexuan naturally understood the meaning of Baili's victory in the battle, so he said anxiously: "Is there such a thing? The treasury is the guarantee for the war. If there is no financial support, no matter how strong the army is, we will be at a disadvantage."

Baili Zhancheng couldn't help nodding his head: "I'm also worried about this issue." At this point, he glanced at Huai Moran again, seeing that she didn't respond, he couldn't help being a little annoyed, and it was not easy to turn his face, so he forced a smile and said: "Moran , the prince is not here, as his concubine, let's talk about how to solve this matter."
