royal princess

Chapter 299
The well-endowed Dragon Boat Festival banquet turned into a show dedicated to the emperor, and Si Jin had to cooperate.

In fact, what she followed in her heart was emotion, and she knew that Xiao Qi used this method to tell others his attitude.

Before the banquet was over, Xiao Qi left with Si Jin, and the Queen brought someone to send her off respectfully.

After the two emperors and concubines left, there was a brief silence in the hall, but soon the queen asked people to dance and sing, and it became lively again in an instant.

However, the hall can be extremely lively, but who knows what's going on in his heart.

Concubine Shu sat under the queen, Concubine Xi's seat was empty, and Concubine Xian was sitting opposite her.

She knew that this time Concubine Xian was getting close to a few outstanding ladies who had just entered the palace, but she just wanted to step down Concubine Xi one day.

The king's heart is changeable, and the concubine Yan Yan for two or three years.

A woman's most beautiful years are only a few years. Even though the noble concubine Ruxi is outstanding, she has been in the palace for six years and has two children.

Concubine Xian probably guessed that the emperor must be tired.

But...the emperor's behavior today gave everyone a slap in the face.

In fact, she is also very envious, and she also wants to become Concubine Xi.When she first entered the palace, there was a queen who was dignified and fair in charge of the harem, and Concubine Su Gui, who looked like a fairy, was in front of her.Even though she was pretty, she still suffered a crushing defeat in front of Concubine Su Gui.

At that time, she watched Concubine Su Gui rise from a lofty building with her own eyes, watched the boundless scenery, and watched her rush to the harem.

In order to survive, she could only worship at Concubine Su Gui's feet, be her subordinate, contribute to her, and act as a vanguard.Sure enough, Concubine Su recommended her to the emperor, and she gradually gained the favor of the emperor, her status rose again and again, and finally reached the concubine position.

At that time, I still thought, I did not follow the wrong person.

That is, even the empress is overwhelmed by Concubine Su, and there are many constraints in doing things in the palace.

But soon, Concubine Xi entered the palace.

The empress was resolute and resolute, and the first time she saw Concubine Xi, she tried her best to keep her in the palace.

Now it seems that the empress did not choose the wrong person. Back then, Concubine Xi was framed by Concubine Su and demoted to Yilanxuan. Everyone thought that she would have no hope of turning over, but now?
Concubine Shu's eyes were a little dazed, it was too easy for her, Concubine Shu, to come.It was also lucky, Su Guifei fell, and the queen wanted to recruit people from the family of Su Guifei, so she became the means of the wise and loyal, high-ranking, and promoting magnanimity for the queen.

Once entering the palace gate, once facing the king's side.

Looking back now, I don't see the emperor's heart.

She always thought that the emperor treated Concubine Su with care.However, today, it seems that she was very wrong.

Concubine Su only treats the emperor as a servant to the emperor, and the emperor treats Concubine Su only as a servant of his family.

Only Concubine Xixi...

She still remembered that when all the beauties were performing, it was just a smile from the emperor.

But that high above the emperor, in his eyes, only the person beside him sees that she eats well, drinks well, and is in a good mood.

Bowing her head and smiling slightly, Concubine Shu looked at the gloomy expression on Concubine Xian's face, thinking, this idiot will probably never understand where she lost in the rest of her life.

She wants to understand and see through.

So she became Concubine Shu, overpowering Concubine Xian.

He also looked at the concubines who had just entered the palace in the main hall, all of them looked resigned and seemed to have schemes in their hearts.

With a sigh, if you don't stop in time, it will be the fate of the next Concubine Su.

As for them, they may not have the luck of Concubine Su Gui to save their lives.

In terms of admiration, what Concubine Shu admires is not Concubine Xi who monopolizes the king's heart and dominates the harem.

The only one who admires is the queen who sits on the phoenix seat!

Courageous and resourceful, capable of bending and stretching, going up and down, advancing and retreating.

If born as a man, the empress and empress must be outstanding at that time.

It's a pity that she was born as a daughter of an aristocratic family.

If it is not a daughter of the family,
Perhaps there would be no concubine Xi's enduring favor.

Pour a glass of wine lightly, and sip lightly.

The hall was full of music and lively, but she felt empty.

In her life, the only thing that can be praised by others is her knowledge of current affairs.

Hehe, it's actually pretty good.

At this time, Xiao Qi took Si Jin's hand and walked slowly all the way back to Yihexuan.Insects were chirping on both sides, birds were singing and flowers were fragrant, and the sky in the distance gradually sank into darkness, leaving only a ray of light still struggling.

Holding my own hand, strong, warm and dry.

The palace servants followed at a distance, Si Jin looked at him, and said softly: "Today you are at the banquet, you have done too much, you may pass it on to me in the harem tomorrow."

"Are you scared?" Xiao Qi smiled lightly, with a bit of complacency in his words.

"Who is afraid, I am not afraid." Si Jin gave him a white look.

"Don't be afraid, don't be afraid, and move forward without fear. To put it lightly, there may be many such things in the future, and you have to learn to get used to it."

You have to get used to showing affection, and Si Jin is also like this... Following Xiao Qi, this face-skinned skill is really getting thicker and thicker.

"You dare to say it."

"Why don't you dare to say that you and I are in the most beautiful years of our lives. Now that the court is stable, there is no worry for the time being. In ten years, the national strength will be strong. It is my family's opinion. When the national prestige is strong, there will be no worries."

Hearing these words, Si Jin's heart was surging, and she felt Xiao Qi's majestic majesty bursting out from the bottom of her heart, which made people submit.

"It doesn't take ten years. With your hard work in governing, it only takes five years, and Dayu will become strong."

"So, the national policy has been decided, and all the ministers submit. In the four seas, the people are safe and healthy, and now I just want to enjoy this good time with you."

Si Jin stood still and looked at Xiao Qi, her heart pounding.

Xiao Qi waved his hand, Guan Chang'an immediately backed away with a group of people, and cleared away the idlers.

"For a long time, you have been with me, accompanied me in suffering. Offer advice to me, run for me. In those hard and busy days, I don't remember those beauties in rich and luxurious clothes, I don't remember the concubines fighting for power and profit, and I don't remember the harem The look of eager anticipation. I only remember your hard work when you thought hard to give me advice, remember your anger when you scolded the family because of my troubles, remember your tossing and turning uneasy at night, remember you...worry because of my worries, I am happy because of my happiness." After saying this, Xiao Qi held Si Jin's face in his hands, lowered his head and kissed her lightly on her forehead.

Si Jin didn't expect Xiao Qi to talk about this all of a sudden, and her eyes turned red when she thought of the hardships at the beginning.

From thinking about giving birth to a son to be the queen mother at the beginning, to taking the initiative to share his worries, and then not seeing him being bullied, she just wanted to use her strength to relieve his worries.

Step by step, day by day, until now, our hearts are inseparable, and it is hard to part.

The hardships, hardships, and hardships involved cannot be described without personal experience.

Today, when Xiao Qi mentioned it suddenly, it can't help but remind people of the days at that time, and the feeling of desolation in their hearts.

"That's fine, why are you talking about this all of a sudden?" Si Jin said a little uncomfortable, with her head lowered.

Xiao Qi's eyes were burning, and she didn't dare to look directly at him for a while.

"My only regret is that I never grew up with you."

Good guy, after talking for a long time, it's still because of that childhood sweetheart.

Si Jinjiong.

Just as he was about to speak, he heard Xiao Qi say again: "I didn't accompany you when you were young, so I can't help but feel a little regretful, so I can't help but want to have a daughter who is exactly like you. Hold it in your palm, rest in your heart, and save her from suffering." , to save her from worrying, let her have a branch to rely on, someone reliable, rich and prosperous, and live a healthy life. Lightly speaking, time cannot be turned back, but people's hearts can be conserved. I can't participate in the suffering you suffered when you were young, but for the rest of your life, But there is me all the time, and there is nothing missing in my life.”

Therefore, Xiao Qi felt that she was resigned by Qin Yuchuan's mother back then, and then entered the palace in anger, so she felt sorry for being wronged at that time.

He couldn't make up for the wounds of the past, so he wanted to have a daughter with her, and then wanted to spoil the Overlord Princess?

This kind of weird psychological process, why is it so dripping...Is it dumbfounding?

In fact, in the final analysis, what Xiao Qi finally cared about was that the original owner once fell in love with someone else.

Even though the two are happy now, there is still a trace of regret.

He just wanted to, in his own way, complete the lives of the two of them.

There is always him, and there is nothing missing in life.

So, he is confessing his heart to himself, won't he change his mind for the rest of his life?
It is said that if you want to have one heart, you will never be separated from each other, but the world is impermanent, even if the two love each other, how many people can grow old forever?

But meeting Xiao Qi's eyes, Si Jin believed him.

"I don't know the origin of love, but it goes deeper and deeper. The living can die, and the dead can live. Those who are born but cannot be reunited with death, and those who are dead but cannot be resurrected are not the result of love." Si Jin looked at Xiao Qi, word by word. Say it to him, "If you can meet you in this life, you will know what is the most affectionate, and you will be happy."

Xiao Qi's eyes became brighter and brighter, and he held Si Jin's hand harder and harder.

The daylight is about to disappear, and the night is quietly approaching.

Life is a long road, and today is just a few steps away.

Holding Si Jin's hand and walking back slowly, a crescent moon climbed up the top of the willow tree, stretching the shadows of the two longer and longer, gradually blending into one.

The breeze sings, and the insects and birds harmonize.

Life is just like this.

After the Dragon Boat Festival, the palace suddenly became quiet.

The concubines who have just entered the palace are also rarely silent, as if the autumn wind is approaching and everything is bleak.

Of course, it's just about to enter summer.

"Yes, now who in the palace dares to oppose you. Those restless people don't dare to make trouble now." Qi Zhaoyi looked at Concubine Xi and said with a smile.

Si Jin also smiled, looked at Qi Zhaoyi and said, "It's up to you to be safe or not, it's up to you."

After hearing Concubine Xi's words, Qi Zhaoyi laughed after thinking about it carefully, "Your Majesty said that this matter really depends on what you think."

More often than not, there will be more incidents if the people's hearts are not enough.

"I heard that Yuzhen fell ill after the Dragon Boat Festival. How is she feeling better now?" Si Jin changed the subject and didn't continue talking about it.

Qi Zhaoyi sighed, looking at Concubine Xi, hesitant to speak.

Si Jin's heart moved slightly, but she didn't take the initiative to speak. Instead, she picked up the teacup and took a sip of tea, quietly waiting for Qi Zhaoyi to speak.

"Yuzhen is not really a bad child, but she was taught badly before, so she is short-sighted and acts recklessly. Although she knows her mistakes now, she is a child after all, and she can't think through many things like an adult. .So I was a little puzzled, and then I fell down depressed. Now the imperial doctor has prescribed a medicine to relieve depression, and after drinking it for two days, I am much better." Qi Zhaoyi's expression was a little bit annoyed and a little bit helpless, after all, that Ren is Yuzhen's biological mother, she has no way to say or criticize many things, and she always wants to give Yuzhen face.

Moreover, even if the tiger falls in Pingyang, it is still a noble concubine.

"If you know your mistakes, you can correct them. There is nothing good about it. You treat her so generously. If she still can't move forward, she will really let you down. Fortunately, this child is still clear, and there will be a good result in the future." Si Jin can't talk about anything else, she doesn't want to interfere with Princess Yuzhen's matter now.

There is the queen on the top, Qi Zhaoyi on the bottom, not to mention the father Xiao Qi, she has a grudge against Concubine Su Gui, no matter what she does, she will inevitably be suspected by others, so she simply put it all aside.

Qi Zhaoyi also knew the embarrassment of Concubine Xi, because she only talked, and didn't say anything that was superfluous.

The two chatted for a while, Qi Zhaoyi got up to leave, and Si Jin escorted her outside the door.

Qi Zhaoyi took two steps, turned her head and smiled at Concubine Xi, and then slowly left.

After leaving Yihexuan, Qi Zhaoyi originally wanted to go back to her bedroom directly, but after thinking about it, she looked in the direction of Changle Palace.After a little hesitation, he still walked in that direction.

There used to be several roads from Yihexuan to Changle Palace, but since the emperor built a wall and sealed off the harem, there is only one road left.

Even if the emperor wants to come to Yihexuan, he still has to go this way.

When walking halfway, Qi Zhaoyi stopped in an instant, and heard a sound coming from the front, frowned slightly, and took two steps forward, using Huazhi's probe like this to go.

The first thing that caught the eye was a bright yellow dragon robe, and he couldn't help being shocked, he didn't expect to meet the emperor here.But the emperor obviously stopped in his tracks, Qi Zhaoyi suddenly had a bad feeling in his heart.

She walked a few steps forward quietly, and as expected, she heard a charming and gentle voice, "Concubine Bao and Lady Bao were enjoying flowers in the garden. I didn't expect to meet the emperor's holy driver. Please forgive me."

It was Qiao Wan's voice!

She thought that after the Dragon Boat Festival incident, she would be able to settle down for a while, but she didn't expect to make a move so soon.

It is true to say, such a good time, such a good color, how could he be willing to spend every day in this harem.

Suddenly there was the sound of footsteps again, and Qi Zhaoyi heard the sound of several people saluting, it was Yu Yunying and Li Qingyao who had also arrived.

Today is really strange, these concubines who have just entered the palace, did they make an appointment to come to the garden to block the emperor?

Although Qi Zhaoyi had great confidence in Concubine Xi, but the emperor was facing a delicate beauty after all, so he was still a little worried.

But at this time, Xiao Qi looked at these people in front of him with indifferent eyes with a bit of coldness, glanced at them, then turned his head, and said lightly: "Get flat."

"Thank you, Your Majesty." Everyone responded in unison, their eyes brightened, as expected, without Concubine Xi in front of them, the Emperor treated them differently.

Qiao Wan breathed a sigh of relief, what she did today really gave her enough courage to come here.It's just that I didn't expect that Yu Yunying and Li Qingyao were so shameless, they actually followed behind them, seeing that the emperor didn't get angry, they wanted to come out to share the fruit, it was simply shameless.

Qiao Wan and Bao Jing were naturally aggrieved, but they didn't dare to say anything in front of the emperor, so as not to make a bad impression.

"The concubine knows a little bit about tea art. I wonder if I would be honored to make a cup of tea for the emperor?" Qiao Wan boldly raised her head to look at the emperor, showing the most flawless smile.There is a bit of timidity in the gentleness, and a bit of shyness in the curiosity, and she vividly interprets a girl who is waiting for her boudoir.

Li Qingyao was about to step forward to interrupt Qiao Wan's good deed, but Yu Yunying pulled her hard.

Li Qingyao was taken aback for a moment, turned her head slightly to look at Yu Yunying, and saw her shaking her head slightly at herself.

Unwilling, Li Qingyao broke free from Yu Yunying's arm, stepped forward with a smile, squatted down and gave a blessing.The posture is like a willow in three springs, and its lightness and unparalleled beauty are really beautiful.

"Your majesty, my concubine..."

"Without a summons from the holy edict, what crime should I have to intercept the holy car privately?" Xiao Qi's face was as black as ink. He was not the one who had never seen the methods used by the harem to fight for favor, so he naturally knew what happened today?
He dared to inquire about his whereabouts based on his good looks, and came to block people, he was really brave enough!
It seems that Guan Chang'an still needs to give him a good lesson, the people in front of the imperial court are not strict with their mouths!
"Chen and concubine dare not!"

"Your Majesty's forgiveness!"

Everyone was so frightened that their faces turned pale, and they hurriedly knelt down to beg for mercy. They never thought that Huangshan would change his face directly.If the crime is really punished, no one here will be able to escape.

His face turned pale with fright!
Xiao Qi ignored them and left with a flick of his sleeves!

Guan Changan's forehead was covered with cold sweat, and the soles of his feet felt weak.That little bastard leaked the emperor's whereabouts, let him find out later, and peeled his skin!
Guan Changan glanced at the crowd kneeling on the ground, snorted, and hurriedly chased after the emperor.

Qi Zhaoyi bowed her knees and respectfully sent the emperor away.The emperor glanced at her and said nothing else, "I heard that Yuzhen is getting better. You have made great achievements. I will reward you later. Go back earlier."

Qi Zhaoyi breathed a sigh of relief, she only said that she had passed this test, otherwise the charge of eavesdropping would not have escaped.

After the emperor walked away, Qi Zhaoyi stood up slowly, her palms were covered with cold sweat.The palace man who was supporting her was also weak in limbs and could not speak a word.

The emperor did not punish these people, this is the most terrible thing.

I just don't know what the empress will do with it.

In Fenghuan Palace, the queen found out about this, she stretched out her hand to rub her forehead, looked at Aunt Tong and said, "Every one of them is not worrying, the emperor... hey, you go and let them copy the palace rules a hundred times, and restrain their feet." For half a year, you are not allowed to go out without an edict."

"Yes." Aunt Tong bowed and saluted, then turned and walked outside.
