royal princess

Chapter 226 She Deceived Again
Xiao Qi: ...

This kind of weird feeling feels that Qin Yuchuan is so pitiful, where did it come from?

"How do you think Qin Yuchuan will react when he hears this?" Xiao Qi felt that he was so stupid to ask such a sentence.

"..." Si Jin glanced at Xiao Qi, looked at the other party's persistent eyes, and thought for a while before saying: "Maybe you will feel that you have fed the dog with all your affection."

"..." Xiao Qi took a deep look at Si Jin, feeling powerless all over.She doesn't even remember Qin Yuchuan, so what is he fussing about these days? "What if one day you remember it again?"

"Young love, for me, can't resist the long years of staying together. God let me come to you to give me a new blessing and voyage. Meeting you is the luckiest and most helpless thing in my life. Journey." Si Jin chuckled, "It is said that falling in love is easy but staying together is difficult. Our life is so long, who dares to say, and can guarantee that we will reach the end. But for the fear of the unknown, let me give up the happiness in front of me I can't do it either. Therefore, Xiao Qi, although there is such a long time in your life, except for the state affairs, government affairs and military affairs that occupy a lot of your time, there is not much time left for us to get along with each other. In this short time , do we have to waste time on these boring things? I don't care about the past, and I don't know the future, but at present I love you wholeheartedly, with sufficient determination and perseverance, and I want to have a good time with you and go through this journey The long life leaves us with little time to get along.”

Xiao Qi felt that he was like a heavenly book, but he caught on to a sentence, "What do you mean you can't make it to the end?"

She said such a long talk, and then he just grabbed this sentence?Si Jin managed to muster up the courage to confess, but when he met such a man who was a bit of a dude, he was so angry that his head burst into smoke, "Your Majesty the Great Emperor, the frequency with which you have chosen a concubine every three years, countless beauties will come to follow you!" I compete for your favor, and when I am old and my color fades, don't you promise that you won't like to see a younger beauty?"

Xiao Qi: ...

"So it shouldn't be me who is more wronged. It shouldn't be me who lives in panic every day. As soon as the draft year arrives, it shouldn't be me who can't restrain the fear in my heart?"

So why, in a conversation where he should have the upper hand, why is he the one being heckled at the end?
Is there really nothing wrong with things going this way?

The two stared at each other, Si Jin really felt aggrieved, she was the one who was thrown here halfway, yet she had to bear so many responsibilities and grievances that did not belong to her.Marry a man and still be an emperor.Even though the value of software and hardware is quite high, the attached attributes are also maddening.The fashion show every three years is like a nightmare.

"So what's wrong with me? In the past few years, ask yourself, how can I feel sorry for you?" The three thousand beauties in the harem were extremely jealous with the person next to them, and he had already put up with it seriously. He wanted to be nice to her, that's all.

"So we obviously like each other so much, why on earth would we draw our knives at each other as soon as we were provoked!"

This makes sense, Xiao Qi couldn't help thinking, but if human emotions and desires could be easily controlled, he wouldn't be so irritable.

Moreover, he still cared about Qin Yuchuan very much.

"No liking can be guaranteed to last forever, so I never make promises to you." Si Jin licked the broken hair next to her ear, and stretched out her hand. The silver ring was shining faintly in the moonlight, "Remember The promise of the ring? Let us now make a choice, then."

"What choice?" Xiao Qi looked at Si Jin cautiously, and had some weird idea to toss him.

"I once said that if we can no longer get close to each other regardless of any reason, then take off the rings on our fingers, remember?"

Xiao Qi nodded.

"So, the matter of Qin Yuchuan, whether I forget him or not, has become a thorn in your heart. If we can't pull out this thorn, I'm afraid there will be endless troubles and quarrels or similar things in the future. Because of the current crisis. You can take off the ring, and I will never take the initiative to appear in front of you again from now on. If you don’t take off the ring, the matter of Qin Yuchuan will be uncovered, and the thorn will be pulled out from now on.”

"Are you forcing me?"

"I'm also forcing myself." Si Jin replied, putting her life on the line, she had no choice but to take a gamble.She couldn't bear the fact that someone would keep attacking her with this matter in the future, and slowly wear down the relationship between her and Xiao Qi bit by bit. Instead of doing that, she would rather make a clean cut across the board.

Yes or no, give me a happy word!
There was a sudden silence between the two, Xiao Qi had never encountered such a situation, and he looked at Si Jin after a while, "No one has ever dared to negotiate terms with me like this."

"So, you used me instead of Zhen. I was talking to Xiao Qi, not the emperor of Dayu."

"You are sophistry."

"I'm living a life, guarding my own man, not these thousands of miles. I don't want the power and status brought by the emperor, I only want Xiao Qi's heart."

"..."

Si Jin was not angry at Xiao Qi's silence, but instead laughed, "Look, even you can't tell whether you are an emperor first or a husband. And I can't completely give up my identity as a daughter of the Su family. Be a woman by your side. Many times, sharing interests also means sharing risks, so there will be marriages in this world, there will be drafts, and there will be many interests that bind and bind each other."

"Since you understand..."

"Yes, I understand very well, but I still can't help but hope for love."

"Emperor, there is never love."

"So, is this your answer?"

"……I have no idea."

Si Jin sighed for a long time, "Because of the unpredictable ending, life will be more exciting and full of expectations. Xiao Qi, don't you really expect love? Build a home for yourself in your heart, and have someone you can rely on and trust." A person who can be relied on by the other party at any time. I believe in love, and I am willing to give my all in exchange for it. If you can't take the first step, then let me do it, do you believe me?"

Xiao Qi almost held his breath, love...

But facing Shang Si Jin was clear and clear, and the raging fire that rolled out from the depths of his eyes made him unable to say no to him.

She is serious.

And he is still hesitating.

How can the emperor have love?That's a stupid act of digging one's own grave. You can't be influenced by a woman. You must maintain clear judgment and execution at all times. This is the domineering and courage of an emperor.

"I don't know." In the end, Xiao Qi still couldn't directly take off the silver ring in his hand, and then drew a clear boundary with her, leniently cut the mess in front of him, and dealt with the aftermath with the most perfect posture.

As long as he thinks, he can have a hundred ways and a thousand ways to make this matter disappear without compromising the majesty of the royal family.

However, none of these methods would not fail to hurt her.

Growing up in the palace, family, siblings, monarchs, concubines, none of them could make him let his guard down.

Si Jin is the only soft existence in this iron wall, but now she tells him that you have to make a choice.

"Speaking lightly, countless deaths have taught me to distinguish the most favorable situation. You tell a hunter to put down the gun in his hand. You know this joke is not funny at all."

"That's why I said it's up to me."

"Is it up to you?"

"Yes." Si Jin said firmly, "Staying in the dark is like walking with a hundred ghosts, and my body is like a ghost. I hate the dark so much and tend to the light, so are you willing to walk with me?"

"So, after going around in circles, you finally told the truth. I'm not in the most important position in your heart, am I?" Xiao Qi tasted a lot from this sentence, so, he Been cheated by her again?

Xiao Qi's words stunned Si Jin for a moment, then she smiled, her expression was much more relaxed than before, she looked at him, and said solemnly and seriously: "No, I want to say, you It is my only light and hope in the dark. So, are you willing to be the light and hope I want?"

Xiao Qi was really silent this time, he understood the true meaning of Si Jin's words.Just looking at her like this, without taking my eyes off, my heart beats slowly faster and faster, spinning like a wind.

Then a little bit of secret joy welled up in my heart, and I couldn't help thinking triumphantly that, in Qingyan's heart, he was actually much more important than Qin Yuchuan.

"I...of course I would."

Seeing Xiao Qi raised his head awkwardly, Si Jin took his sleeve and leaned gently on his shoulder.The long-lost feeling of peace of mind welled up in my heart, and a heart really fell to the ground at this moment.

"Is the birthday party still held?"

After an unknown amount of time, Si Jin asked, this question is very important.It is related to whether her favored concubine's position is strong or not, and the right to run amok in this harem.After this incident, Si Jin understood a truth, it is possible to keep a low profile when you are not yet successful, once you are in the hottest position next to the emperor and want to keep a low profile, then this incident is a lesson.

"What do you think?" Xiao Qi looked at the light shining in Si Jin's eyes, and knew that she must be thinking of something else.

"Of course, I have a lot of ideas." Si Jin said very confidently, "I neither murdered nor seduced someone behind your back. I was poured two big basins of dirty water, and I was not allowed to vent my anger."

Even though the matter has not been investigated clearly, Xiao Qi really felt a little overwhelmed by the person who could talk about revenge in front of him so simply and neatly. There is really no one with such self-confidence, arrogance, and arrogance.

"……What do you want to do?"

"The Empress banned my feet, so I can't go out of the Heyi Palace, so if the first birthday banquet is in Fenghuan Palace, I can't participate." Si Jin began to play pitiful, "Such an important event in my son's life , do you think I am absent?"

"..." It seems a little bad.

"Also, so many people want to see my jokes, but I can't let them do what they want. If they want to steal you from me, go ahead and make their big dreams come true."

"..." Is it really good to be so domineering in front of him?image!

"I suddenly felt that as a favorite concubine in the eyes of others, I seemed to be too low-key these past few years, so there was no pressure when people harmed me. After self-reflection, I thought that I should actively correct my mistakes and severely correct my thoughts. , follow the mainstream of social values, and be a qualified and perfect concubine."

"..." What exactly do you want to do?
"So, what do you think of the birthday party being held in the Heyi Hall?"

"..." Such a violent and arrogant slap in the face, is it because he took the wrong medicine, or is he trying to push him to the position of the faint king.

You can't go out, so let everyone come to Heyi Hall!

Xiao Qi looked up at the sky, as if letting her vent her anger was not a big deal.

She was a little wronged by Dou Fangyi's matter, he still understood her temperament, not to mention killing people, she couldn't bear to beat others.

Qin Yuchuan... She said that she forgot about him. Based on her performance in the past few years, it should probably not be a lie.

The most tangled thing about Xiao Qi is, is it too easy for him to let go of this matter so easily?

Seeing Xiao Qi frowning and thinking, Si Jin grabbed his sleeve and swung it around, just like how she did countless times when she was bored, giving her half of a sleeve, she can enjoy herself alone Play for half a day.

When Xiao Qi's wandering thoughts came back, he saw Si Jin half leaning on him, tugging at his sleeves one by one.The time we spent together in the past overlapped in his mind under the moonlight and merged into one place.

In fact, he didn't give her much time to accompany her. Most of the time when he came back, he just had a meal and then left.When she came back again, maybe she couldn't wait to fall asleep, or she just held on to look at him before going to sleep.Before she woke up in the morning, she had to leave again.

Many times, although the two are together every day, they may not be able to speak ten words a day.But just like that, she could look at him, and she would be as happy as if she had picked up an ingot.

I remember one time, he once asked her if it was hard to wait so much, and she only replied to herself, that companionship is the longest confession of love.

At that time, he thought it was her who said this to him, but when he thought about it now, he suddenly felt that the time he came and went in a hurry was not considered companionship. , finally achieved what she wanted... Confession?

For a moment, I felt a fiery restlessness spreading from the bottom of my heart. I bent down and hugged Si Jin, and strode towards the inner hall.

If there is such a person in this world who can turn all your boring behaviors into the most beautiful language in the world to comfort you, then why do you have any reason to doubt her heart?
The bed curtain fell, blocking the candlelight in the room from the outside.The long-lost passion awakened the desire suppressed in the bottom of my heart.

Si Jin was swept away by Xiao Qi's sudden enthusiasm, as if she was in a violent storm, half asleep and half awake, she heard what he said in her ear, but she really didn't have the energy to hear it clearly and understand it.However, he was willing to have sex with him, so it should be no big deal after all.

So, I fell asleep very peacefully.

The sound of steady breathing rang in his ears, through the thin candlelight, Xiao Qi looked at Si Jin's sleeping face, and sat there with the brocade quilt half-draped.There was still a strong smell of joy in the tent, he thought it would be like this, even though he was unwilling, but in those years when he never appeared, the man in her life, now that she has Say it's not important, then...it's not important.

Qin Yuchuan... Xiao Qi thought bitterly before falling asleep, let's wait and see.

If Qin Yuchuan is dealt with directly, firstly, he is not a person who avenges his personal revenge, secondly, this person is indeed a pillar of talent, and thirdly, instead of disposing of him and making Si Jin feel guilty all his life, he would rather let Qin Yuchuan sell his life for him .

Thinking about it this way made me feel much more comfortable.

Then give him a marriage or something, it seems not bad.

Xiao Qi stayed in the Heyi Hall, Aunt Jiang, Yunshang, Chen De'an and others could squeeze out the smiles on their faces the next day.After this incident, Aunt Jiang became more and more aware of Concubine Xi's position and weight in the emperor's heart.

If this kind of thing is replaced by someone else, which one doesn't peel off the skin, this matter can't be finished.

But the master just relied on a few meal lists, and then the emperor came once, and he left the person and solved the matter. This skill is really amazing and admirable.

The hall of Heyi was full of joy, and everyone walked with wind under their feet.

At the same time, the empress of Fenghuan Palace received the emperor's order, and the first-year banquet was changed to Heyi Hall.

The news had not been conveyed to Liugong, the queen was sitting there, and Aunt Tong was not relieved for a while.

The first birthday banquet is held in Heyi Hall?

Concubine Xi, not to mention turning the corner to safety, slapped those who framed her and attacked her hard,

Aunt Tong has been in the palace for so many years, she has encountered many things, and there are also secret stories of rivalry in the palace from time to time.Ups and downs are common, but this is the first time she has seen someone like Concubine Xi who can turn things around in such a short period of time.

"Your Majesty, this matter..."

The queen waved her hand, "According to the emperor's will, the Mid-Autumn Festival banquet will still be held in Fenghuan Palace, and Concubine Xi will naturally not be able to attend during the confinement period. It is not against the law to hold the First Prince's first birthday banquet in his biological mother's palace according to the palace regulations. Convey the decree to the inner court, and send all matters related to the eldest prince's first birthday banquet to Concubine Xi for review, and let her decide." Having said this, the empress put on a decent smile again, "Concubine Xi, One move was done well, and the previous move was also good, and I have finally made progress in the palace in the past few years."

Aunt Tong knew what the empress meant. The previous move was that Concubine Xi was the first to attack Qiao Xiaoyi when she was in danger, and immediately suppressed the empress dowager's momentum to hold Qiao Xiaoyi up.This one-year-old banquet held in Heyi Hall is tantamount to expressing the means of being a favorite concubine to everyone in the palace who opposes Concubine Xi.

The emperor has such a temper, but he dotes on Concubine Xi so much.Whether it was Dou Fangyi's death, or the so-called childhood sweetheart, it didn't affect Concubine Xi in the slightest, but it made her turn around like this, on the contrary, she seemed to be more favored than before.

It must be known that the eldest prince's first birthday banquet would have been held in Fenghuan Palace.

Concubine Xi: ...

Aunt Tong sighed in her heart, she only hoped that she would be a conscientious person, and that she would not forget the kindness of the empress in the future.

Sure enough, after Aunt Tong conveyed the news about the Eldest Prince's first birthday banquet being held in the Heyi Hall, everyone's expressions seemed to have been struck by lightning.

What does this represent?
This is a signal that Concubine Xi is safe and sound.

Immediately afterwards, there was news that the emperor was staying in the Heyi Hall, and even the queen mother fell into a strange silence.

Qiao Lingyi sat in front of the window, thinking about her aunt's words, and felt at a loss for the first time.

Concubine Xi is like a mountain with no peak in sight, no matter how she climbs it, it will never end.

What should she do?
