the first lady

Chapter 43

Once in the middle, the woman turned her head, looked at the man and smiled, and the man returned a gentle smile.

Like a happy couple of immortals——

That scene was truly engraved in the hearts of everyone who saw it.

What is beautiful is not only the music, but also the people.

Zong Zhengyan stood not far away and looked at the two people, feeling a little sour in his heart, maybe he should have pursued her the moment Feng Qing abandoned her, but once everything was in the past, there was no regret, so In the end, he laughed it off.

Anyway, now that she is his second sister-in-law, it can be seen that the second brother is not ruthless to her.The two are so eye-catching, maybe this is also a good thing for the second brother!
After finishing the song, everyone was still indulging in the melody like the sound of nature, the cooperation between the two had reached the pinnacle.

After returning to the room, Qiao Ling'er also seemed a little obsessed with the song.Now she really wants to ask, why did Yun Zhongyue create such a score, which was obviously composed of two people, but why did she learn it alone in the first place?Or, he just wanted her to find someone to play with her?But what does that have to do with Yun Zhongyue?

"What are you thinking about?" Zong Zhengyi closed the door and saw Qiao Ling'er supporting his chin, lost in thought.

Turning her mind slightly, Qiao Linger glanced at the music score on the table and said, "When the owner of this music score gave it to me, he didn't tell me that I needed two people."

"Oh?" Zongzheng Yi was slightly surprised.

"I'm a little surprised why he created such a piece of music. Also, he said he wanted to play with me on the qinxiao. If the qin needs two people to do it, then the xiao..." Qiao Linger said frankly, but she was talking Half the time the sound is automatically muted.

His gaze fell on Zongzheng Yi's face, and he couldn't help feeling a little embarrassed.

"What's wrong?" Zong Zhengyi asked.

Qiao Ling'er twitched the corners of her mouth in embarrassment, "I said that the piano and flute ensemble...has no other meaning, you...don't get me wrong." After explaining, she realized that something was really wrong with her. Why did she have to explain to him? ?
Zong Zhengyi also didn't react a little, but when he saw her at a loss, he smiled slightly to resolve her embarrassment.

"Ling'er, for this piece, have you ever thought that you can use the flute to make up for the lack of the piano?" Zong Zhengyi pointed to a point in the score.

"Use the flute to make up?" Qiao Ling'er's attention was successfully drawn, "You mean, where you helped me, you can actually use the flute to play it?"

"We can try it tomorrow night."

"Okay..." Qiao Linger agreed reflexively, and suddenly thought of another question: "I won't..."

"It's okay." Zong Zhengyi smiled softly.

Qiao Ling'er was slightly stunned, she wasn't too stupid to figure out what he meant, he could play the flute!
Looking at the sky outside, Zongzheng Yi suddenly asked: "It's midnight, are you hungry?"

Not to mention that she didn't notice it, when Zong Zhengyi said that, Qiao Linger suddenly realized that time passed too fast.They had dinner at Xu time, and she had been in the yard for two hours.

Two hours is equivalent to half a day. When it comes to the question of whether you are hungry or not... you seem to be a little hungry.

"The servant should also rest now, and it will be over after a while." Although Qiao Ling'er doesn't like to be hungry, it is not in her character to bother people in the middle of the night.

Zongzheng Yi, who had already walked to the door, turned his head and asked, "Why do you want to let the servant?"

"The servants are not allowed to cook, so do you cook?" Qiao Ling'er asked, and saw the beautiful smile on Zong Zhengyi's face.

Suddenly, the sky seemed like a thunderbolt, and Qiao Linger was stunned.

Until the time after the two sticks of incense, when Zong Zhengyi put a bowl of hot noodles in front of her, she still couldn't recover.

"Eat it while it's hot!" Zong Zhengyi added a chopstick and handed it to Qiao Linger.

Qiao Ling'er still couldn't get back to her senses, but it was a pity that the glutton in her stomach was disturbed by the delicious noodles, so she had to wake up.

"Did you do this?" Qiao Linger asked idiotically, she was obviously beside him when he posted the note.However, she still couldn't believe her eyes!
"Don't like noodles?" Zongzheng Yi answered irrelevantly.

"No." Qiao Ling'er was a little embarrassed, then she put aside her weird psychology and poked the noodles.

When she was hungry, she had to find a way to fill it up. It was an ordinary bowl of noodles, but it made her eat it very delicious.

"Good, delicious..." Qiao Ling'er praised vaguely while eating, and gave a thumbs up.

Zongzheng Yi smiled softly, "Slow down, don't choke."

Qiao Linger nodded, but her speed still did not slow down.

Zongzheng Yi quietly looked at her not-so-elegant posture of eating noodles, as if watching her eating noodles was also a pleasing scene.

"By the way, don't you want to eat?" Qiao Linger suddenly thought when the soup bowl bottomed out.

Zong Zhengyi shook his head, "I'm not hungry."

Qiao Linger blushed.

And Zong Zhengyi seemed to want her to blush even more, so he even wiped off the grease from the corner of her mouth when she finished eating.

She wanted to find a piece of tofu to kill her!

What kind of attitude towards what kind of people, but she, Qiao Ling'er, was at a loss like never before when dealing with Zong Zhengyi, a man who was as gentle and elegant as an exiled fairy.

Whether it's his tenderness and consideration, or his intelligence, or the calmness when cooking noodles that shouldn't appear on noble young masters, they all seem to be gradually pulling her heart...

In the blink of an eye, a month has passed, and the scorching heat of summer has gradually disappeared with the passage of time, bringing a bit of coolness.

The Emperor Wu and the Empress did not make any moves within a month, and the person who had been monitoring Qiao Linger and Zong Zhengyi did not appear again.

Just because Zongzheng Yi didn't say anything, it didn't mean that Qiao Ling'er didn't know what he said to Emperor Wu. Generally speaking, Zongzheng Yi was a reassuring man.

Practicing with Zong Zhengyan has improved her own reaction ability. Although she has never practiced internal strength and lightness skills, her agility has been greatly improved; at the same time, she will also participate in another "business plan" for the next road. One point, she must work hard now.

And a month later, the real difficulties began.

During the Mid-Autumn Festival, Emperor Wu's [-]th birthday, the ministers need to congratulate.

"What's the matter?" Qiao Ling'er asked Zong Zhengyi holding the red post, unable to see his expression.

Zong Zhengyi closed the slightly heavy post, sighed lightly and said, "Ling'er, this time, I'm afraid you will be involved too." He also handed the post to her.

Qiao Ling'er took it and opened it. Inside were gorgeous gold characters, ground with gold powder, which shows how "precious" this post is!
There are very few contents in it, but there is one sentence that is particularly conspicuous: bring your family into the palace...

Family... Why don't you just ask her, Qiao Linger, to enter the palace together!
"It seems that we have to go." Qiao Ling'er sneered, what exactly did Emperor Wu want to do?

Zong Zhengyi looked at Qiao Linger's face, and couldn't hide the worry on his face. The surface was calm, but the undercurrent was turbulent. Sensitive people would notice that this was not an ordinary banquet.

At the beginning of the moonlight, the sunset has not shed its red shirt, and the bright moon has already bloomed with tenderness.

In the imperial city at night, the hustle and bustle of the day faded away, and the surroundings were covered with the tranquil light of the white moon.

On the road leading to the palace, there was an endless stream of sedan chairs and carriages, most of which were decorated with gorgeous decorations to set off the high-profile momentum.

The dark red car body is made of gold silk and satin intertwined with gold thread, with gold silk flowing clouds patterns embroidered on both sides, and two black horses pulling the shaft, simple yet luxurious.However, among all the carriages, this carriage was not the most conspicuous, and those more exquisite than this carriage passed by.

Hearing the sound of horseshoes clattering outside, Qiao Ling'er slightly opened the small curtains, watching the delicate carriages pass by, but couldn't help but sneer in her heart.

Officials, no matter how small they are, will fight for power because of their vanity in this kind of scene.

Putting down the curtain and turning to Zong Zhengyi, who was squinting and sleeping, Qiao Linger couldn't help saying, "Zong Zhengyi, what method do you think the emperor and empress will use to make things difficult for me?"

She had already met Emperor Wu, but the queen, who had never met before but wanted to kill her again and again, would definitely not let go of such an opportunity to meet face to face.

"Don't worry, I'm here!" Zong Zhengyi lightly shook her hand.

The warmth passed from the palm of her hand, making Qiao Ling'er's face hot, and she felt a little uneasy.At this time, the light was dim, otherwise her flushed face would definitely be seen.During this month, the relationship between the two of them has undergone a subtle but heart-pounding change...

"Why do I have to come?" Qiao Ling'er changed the subject, she clearly knew that she had to come, but she still complained.

"Of course it's because you are the prime minister's wife!" Zong Zhengyi replied seriously.

Qiao Linger was embarrassed, a warm current surged in her heart, and said: "You cover me for a while, I don't want to embarrass you!" Although Sima Yue had taught her a lot of palace rules before coming, it was hard not to If something unexpected happens, she'd better be careful.

"It's okay." Zong Zhengyi said in a more general way.

Qiao Ling'er continued to be embarrassed. Does he mean that it's okay for her to embarrass him, or does it mean that he is covering her?

"By the way, will the prince be here today?"

"What do you think?" Zong Zhengyi asked back.

"...here!" But she really didn't want to see him, firstly because the way he looked at her disgusted her; If there is any movement, Helian Feiyan will not get out of it.

Especially during this month, Helian Feiyan used various excuses to ask Zongzhengyi to go out, or sometimes came to the door directly, and his superior tone was exactly the same as that of Emperor Wu.
