Lady Changning

Chapter 205 One Night Dream, One Night Stand
She touched Huangfu Zimian's face with her hand, it was really hot, if not for his appearance, she would have thought he had a fever.But when he wanted to take back his hand, he grabbed it. It seemed that a trace of coolness made him feel very comfortable, and he kept rubbing against her palm.

Xi Changning was a little funny, as if he had returned to the original Hengshan Village, he felt a little bit of emotion in his heart, full of emotions.

"Do you still have my wife in your heart?"

"Changning." He murmured, seemingly unintentionally.

For Xi Changning, in her short enough life, she and the prince pretended to use each other, and she used to be guilty of using the third prince, while for Huangfu Zimian, the touch of purple on the street corner softened into her dazzling red. Zhong, is her only husband.

"Who am I?" She leaned close to his mouth and asked softly.

"Changning, Xi Changning."

Maybe he was confused, but he was just right. She snuggled her body into his arms, and the familiar feeling immediately circled around her.

She kissed his lips, smoothing out the hair sticking to her cheeks from the sweat.

"Live well, my life is enough."

Xi Changning whispered in his ear.

The people outside the door didn't go too far, although they didn't intend to, they still heard some voices that shouldn't be heard. Zimu put Princess Jing in the corner, but he clenched his fists and beat the wall. powerless.

Although I don't want to knock on the door, it's been a long time, and I have to leave before Xi Changning is discovered.So he went forward and knocked on the door, and it happened that Xi Changning was already fully dressed.

"What should she do?" Zimu pointed to Princess Jing who was placed not far from the door.

Xi Changning looked at the tightly closed bed behind him, Huangfu Zimian was still sleeping soundly inside.

"Help her in and put her on the soft couch over there. The rest depends on her heart."

Zi Mu followed suit and helped Princess Jing into the soft couch in the room, covered her with her left coat, and took Xi Changning back to Fengzao Palace before dawn.

Xiao He in Fengzao Palace felt relieved when she heard the noise, she was so tense that she didn't dare to blink, even though she was too tired to bear it, she still dared not sleep.

"Xiao He is going to make things difficult for you, he will take you back. It's just that you can't say a word about what happened tonight, otherwise Concubine Lian will also be implicated."

Because Xiao He was grateful, she listened to Mo Lian very much, and naturally put Mo Lian first in everything.

"Empress, don't worry, Xiao He won't say a word even if she is killed."

After returning the clothes, Zimu put Xiaohe aside first, and said a few words to Xi Changning.

"Judging from Huangfu Shenqian's distrust of you now, our opportunity must be accelerated, and my elder brother is also pressing very hard. I must make arrangements before he makes a move."

Xi Changning hummed and stopped talking, Zimu felt that he was a little bored and stopped talking, and was going to leave with Xiao He.But she chased after him again.

"Thank you Zimu, I made it difficult for you."

"It's not difficult, and my name is Helianmu now. I'm married."

Some redundant explanations, he just told himself.The shadow disappeared in a flash, and Yan Xiufeng, who was somewhat arrogant, had never reached such a level in martial arts.

The sky turned pale, and before the voice of going to court could be heard, Huangfu Shenqian brought Mo Lian to Fengzao Palace, and seeing that Xi Changning was still asleep, he called the palace servants to call her.

But a word passed from the mouth, something happened.

Xi Changning kept thinking what else could happen?It was nothing more than the matter of Huangfu Zimian and Princess Jing, and now seeing her adding Yan Xiufeng's confession in Fengzao Palace, I'm afraid I'm still secretly happy.

"What's the matter?" she asked indifferently.

Mo Lian was on Huangfu Shenqian's side but anxious to death, Xiao He came back and said that everything was done, but there were some things she couldn't explain clearly, so the empress asked her to ask herself.

"Zi Mian and Princess Jing..."

It's not that he didn't say it here, on the contrary, he said it clearly in front of so many people, but only she knows best that there is no such thing.

Huangfu Shenqian didn't hesitate to use those words that seemed a bit embarrassing, but he was just testing Xi Changning's feelings step by step.

What Xi Changning could do even exceeded what she should do, she even had a feeling that she would die without regrets, she looked at Huangfu Shenqian, he loved her and thought of everything for her, so at this point He is right.Because of this, Xi Changning didn't let him do some despicable deeds.

"What do you want to do?" Xi Changning looked calm, but his face was very cold, and he couldn't help but ask the question knowing the result.

"Zi Mian is a responsible person. He decided to marry Princess Jing, so he hopes that I can marry her."

Princess Jing still did that, she really loved Huangfu Zimian so much that she couldn't help herself, at this moment Xi Changning no longer envied her, on the contrary felt that she was really pitiful, she made up a lie but would spend her whole life paying back.

As for Huangfu Shenqian, he achieved his goal, he set up this situation at all costs, presumably he just wanted to hear Xi Changning's final answer.

"Then ask the empress dowager to find a day."

The queen mother is like a mother, so it is natural for her to take care of it. If Xi Changning is forced, she can only hurry up and leave.

This time Huangfu Shenqian nodded his head, he saw what was the truth and no longer made it difficult for Xi Changning, her complexion was not very good-looking, even ugly, even if he tried to save it, he would be powerless, as for Huangfu Zimian, he probably wouldn't either. I will think about finding my past again.

When Huangfu Shenqian left to go to court and was eager to promulgate the decree, he took a deep look at Mo Lian, and warned Mo Lian before coming, and Mo Lian also promised not to say more, but just in case, he had to warn again .

"Tell me what happened? Why doesn't Xiao He know?"

As soon as Huangfu Shenqian left, Mo Lian couldn't wait to ask.

Xi Changning was not in a hurry to answer, her whole body was sore and limp like the sequelae, and it helped her to talk to Huangfu Shenqian with a bad complexion.

"As you can see now, everything is going in the direction he wants."

Mo Lian felt a little regretful, blaming herself for not being able to see through Huangfu Shenqian's scheme in the first place, which made Xi Changning so sad now.

Xi Changning didn't point out that Mo Lian was always someone who wanted to stay by Huangfu Shenqian's side, and she didn't participate in some schemes for her own good in the future.

In the early morning, the happy event between Huangfu Zimian and Princess Jing spread throughout the court and the public. Even the Empress Dowager, who seemed to be indifferent to world affairs, came out and said that she would arrange a marriage for Princess Jing, so the Empress Dowager was naturally happy. What kind of person is she, at least Princess Jing is a gentle and considerate woman.

"Empress, Empress Dowager Lianfei invites you two to come and gather."

Could it be that there has been no happy event in the palace for too long, and now there is a "good thing" that is spread everywhere, and even the Queen Mother has become lively.Mo Lian stepped forward and grabbed Xi Changning's hand as a sign of comfort, and now the matter is a foregone conclusion.

Xi Changning asked his father-in-law to wait outside, but he took Mo Lian's hand and walked together to the mirror.

"Make up for me."

Mo Lian's hand shook, and Xi Changning had no intention of messing with these women with yellow decals on the mirror. She always puts on a hair crown and it's done.The clothes are also the same red color, and the style is the same.

She actually had to dress up today, Mo Lian ordered Xiao He to look for clothes in the closet, while she combed her hair herself.Xi Changning's hair is very good, black and shiny, even if it is not combed, it is smooth, and a little hair oil is enough to shine.

"Are you going to put it up?"

Xi Changning doesn't wear a woman's bun all the year round. Given how much she is favored, no one dares to say anything. It's not because she's rebellious, but because she's lazy. It's common for her to have long hair without grooming.

Xi Changning nodded, but he was not very willing to look at himself in the mirror.Mo Lian understood her thoughts, most of the rouge compacts on the table were untouched.

So Mo Lian applied all of these to Xi Changning's face, the thin cheeks finally had some radiance, they didn't look so pale, and the big black and white eyes were simply outlined, and they looked very energetic.

With her long hair tied up in a bun and decorated with a phoenix hairpin, Xi Changning is already a very distinctive woman, not gaudy but coquettish enough, innocent enough without being pretentious.

But Xiao He at the side was a little embarrassed, the clothes were all similar, and there was really nothing special to pick out, everyone knew Xi Changning's obsession with red.

Xi Changning walked into the closet and took out a piece of clothing from a package, which was once made by Hua Mudan by Fifth Yiniang, but Xi Changning never wore such clothes after wearing them once.

It's a little big to change now, but after Mo Lian's skillful hands, everything is not a problem. Xi Changning and Mo Lian walked out of Fengzao Palace when they were ready.

It is very rare for Xi Changning to dress up so grandly, and it is natural to be stared at in front of everyone. Xi Changning has long been used to this kind of staring, and there is no reaction on his face.

"See the Empress."

Xi Changning walked among the saluting crowd and sat beside the Queen Mother.

"Chang Ning, you came just in time. There was a message from the front that the emperor and prince will also come later."

The queen mother smiled happily, sincerely.Maybe this palace has not had a happy event for too long, and now it is considered a big event.

Xi Changning remained silent, and looked at Princess Jing who was sitting next to the Empress Dowager. She had a shy face, but she felt a little uncomfortable because of Xi Changning's gaze.

"The empress seems to be very interested in Princess Jing. No wonder, she and the prince have been together for so long, and it's a match made in heaven."

The Empress Dowager smiled triumphantly.

There was a sneer at the corner of Xi Changning's mouth, although she didn't feel it herself.

"That's true. I heard about it from the emperor. I didn't expect that the gentle and well-behaved Princess Jing would do such an immoral thing. It's really impressive."

If she retorts, Xi Changning's words will definitely make Princess Jing feel ashamed, because only she knows in her heart that if she wants to marry Huangfu Zimian, there is no other way but this, but her reputation will be ruined in this way.

Although the people present didn't say anything, no one knew what was going on in their hearts.

Princess Jing's complexion became much uglier at once. She thought she had won, but with Xi Changning's aura, she didn't have any joy in winning at all. On the contrary, she felt that she was really despicable.

Just when the atmosphere in the hall was not harmonious, Huangfu Shenqian and Huangfu Zimian appeared together.

"What are you talking about so lively?"

Huangfu Shenqian could see that the atmosphere was not quite right, so he deliberately changed the topic.

"Of course it's the marriage between the prince and Princess Jing. They say it's a match made in heaven, and even the empress praises it."

Xi Lingyan seemed to be smoothing things over, but her words became sharper and sharper, wishing to stab Xi Changning with scars all over her body.

Huangfu Zimian went forward to salute the Empress Dowager and the Empress Dowager without saying a word, as if this marriage had nothing to do with him, but it made Princess Jing a lot sad.

He took another look at Xi Changning, she was different today, her complexion improved a lot, her dress was also different, looking at her was really familiar.

As for Princess Jing, he woke up inexplicably and found her lying naked beside him. He was a little drunk, but he didn't remember anything. He vaguely remembered that he met the girl in his dream when he was drunk. Fan Yunyu's feeling was real, maybe he mistook Princess Jing for her.

He is not an irresponsible man, so how can he disappoint Princess Jing, so he asked for his will to marry her.

"Naturally, we can't wait for this good day. This palace will be fine next month, and there is plenty of time to come and go."

The Empress Dowager spoke out her thoughts, and looked at the two brothers Huangfu Shenqian inquiringly.

"Zimian, what do you think?" Huangfu Shenqian threw the question to Huangfu Zimian.

"Ah."

Huangfu Zimian understood that he no longer had the ability to negotiate conditions, and he himself had mistrusted Huangfu Shenqian, but he did not expect him to plan on him.

Xi Changning looked at the people in the hall indifferently, whether they were happy, gloating, or silent, which can be described as wonderful.If it is said to be happy, only Huangfu Shenqian is really happy. He did not feel sorry for Huangfu Zimian, but he also forcibly cut off Xi Changning's heart.

"The empress does not speak, she looks a little sad, and this is a bit sour."

Xi Lingyan pushed forward, knowing that Xi Changning was feeling uncomfortable, but she insisted on tearing off these disguises layer by layer.

Xi Changning knew very well that she was unintentional, that she didn't understand love and hatred, good and evil, jealousy, she always had a face, and when Xi Lingyan said it, she thought she was normal and touched her cheek.

"Concubine Hua is really getting bolder. I don't know who gave you the courage, Your Majesty? Or is it that I am so easy to bully? This joke is really playing with your head up."

Xi Changning has always been good at ridicule and hot sarcasm, and he has always been able to say everything with his eyes closed.

Sure enough, Xi Lingyan glanced at Huangfu Shenqian and said nothing.It is obvious that Huangfu Shenqian is for Xi Changning, and she is simply asking for trouble. She regards him as heaven, but he ignores her again and again, which really makes her hate it.

Under everyone's gaze, Xi Changning walked up to Princess Jing, and pulled her up to Huangfu Zimian.Fold their hands together.

"Some people make thousands of mistakes, but it's all for another person. If you have to make a choice to make everyone feel better, then why not do it. I wish you happiness."

She shouldn't have shed tears, but she couldn't control a boiling heart that was noisily approaching its owner, so the tears flowed down by her own will, without sadness or joy.

Huangfu Shenqian pulled her hand away from Huangfu Zimian's palm little by little.

"I will definitely hold a grand wedding for you."

"Thank you, Your Majesty, empress."

Could it be that this imperial palace is really lacking in joy, so once it started, it became more and more out of hand.This happy event has not yet been digested, and there is another happy event over there.

Xi Lingyan fainted suddenly when paying her respects to the queen mother, and was diagnosed as three months pregnant, which she didn't know at all.

She has always wanted to have a child, and now that she has got her wish, she is inevitably proud.

"Your Majesty, now Concubine Hua is pregnant, should we continue with those things?"

Mo Lian asked with some scruples.

Even if Xi Lingyan was at fault, the child in her womb was not at fault. The real blood of the emperor is now only the second prince who was adopted by Xi Lingyan.

"She won't let us go just because she's pregnant, on the contrary she'll push forward even more."

Xi Lingyan originally had Huangfu Shenqian's only blood by her side, but now that she has her own flesh and blood, she still doesn't laugh out loud.

In fact, Xi Lingyan did this. Her stomach is now a treasure. Even if Huangfu Shenqian had any ideas, the ruling and opposition parties and the empress dowager would not allow anyone to hurt her.

"The concubine sees the Empress Dowager."

"Look, isn't this Concubine Hua? I also know this old woman, Bengong."

As a woman who has been in the deep palace for decades, she will understand that there is nothing to go to the Three Treasures Hall, especially a woman who wants to be as scheming as Xi Lingyan.

"To be honest with the Empress Dowager, you also know the current situation of the concubine, so I have the courage to negotiate a deal with you."

The Empress Dowager snorted coldly, knowing that Xi Lingyan's coming here would not do anything good.

"Recently, your power in the court has been swept away by the emperor. I don't know how long you plan to recharge your batteries?"

"Concubine Hua, I still remember that you bit me back for the sake of the emperor, otherwise how could I have fallen into such a state?"

It would have been better if she didn't go, but now when Xi Lingyan said it, she became angry for no reason, and her body was no longer as good as before, because her chest heaved a lot when she was so angry.
