Daughter of the royal palace

Chapter 493
A familiar face suddenly flashed across his mind, and Nongmei's eyes widened.

"Huangfu? Her surname is Huangfu, so she is... is..."

The queen smiled slightly, "The daughter of Huangfuzhen, the former law enforcement elder of Liuli Palace." She slowly glanced across the surprised or understanding faces of the surrounding people, and then explained: "Perhaps the world has long forgotten that today's Yiqin Wangfei, the surname is Huangfu."

Ling Xihan's pupils shrink slightly, then...

"That's right, Huangfu Zhen is the elder brother of Princess Yi." The queen explained Ling Xihan's confusion.

"Then what about the real Xiao Qilan?" Ling Xihan couldn't help asking.

The queen's eyes dimmed, and Huangfu Queling stood up and said: "The real Xiao Qilan drowned and died when she was three years old. Ever since I was born, Master has raised me as a man. It is suitable for learning the master's unique knowledge, but it can integrate hundreds of martial arts. So I have been the heir of the head of the Liuli Palace since I was a child." She paused, and then said: "Xiao Qilan is my cousin, only one month younger than me The two of us are very similar in appearance, not to mention that Xiao Qilan was only three years old at that time. She was drowning, and Master knew that there was no possibility of surviving. In order to prevent my aunt from being sad, and to let me leave the Liuli Palace and live in front of the world. Master So I discussed with my aunt that I will live in Prince Yi's mansion instead of my cousin who died, and I will use another identity to learn from the master." When she said this, her voice became softer.

"Later, my aunt found out who I was, but the pain of losing her daughter had already broken her heart. In addition, I looked very similar to my cousin, so she regarded me as her own. In the first few years, Master used the excuse that I fell into the water. The body is weak and needs to be recuperated. And she has lived in the palace for a long time, so she can't take care of her often, so she often let me enter the palace to accompany her. In fact, she is afraid that people in Prince Yi's mansion will notice that I have a different status and cause unnecessary trouble. So in the past 12 years , no one has ever found any clues."

Ling Xihan quietly looked at the queen with a calm and elegant expression. At this moment, she finally saw the wisdom of this woman.Li Daitao froze, cheated Huangfu Queling and Xiao Qilan out, and then cultivated Xiao Qilan as his successor in an upright manner, and even used Xiao Qilan's identity as a cover to let her befriend Xiao Qilan, practice martial arts together, and kill two birds with one stone.

Now she also understands why the Queen wants to give the Zhongyi Palace so much power because she cares so much about her relatives becoming big and threatening the imperial power.Prince Yi is in charge of a quarter of the country's soldiers and horses, and the Zhongyi Palace is involved with many forces in the court. In addition, she almost controls the lifeline of the country's economy.Furthermore, Xiao Qilan, the daughter of Prince Yi, fell in love with her elder brother.How amazing would the power be if the two governments were to marry each other?
It turned out that this Xiao Qilan was not that Xiao Qilan.She was originally a daughter of Jianghu, and Liuli Palace never interfered in the political affairs of the court.If Huangfu Que Ling, the next lord of the Liuli Palace, married into the Palace of Zhongyi, she could serve as a guardian instead.In this way, the huge forces formed through marriages between the Zhongyi Palace and the major families in Kyoto were divided.

After thinking through all this, she suddenly felt that the queen was really smart, so smart that it made people feel scary.The most important thing is that this woman is obviously exhausted, but she just can't be hated.Of course, the Queen's plan can go so smoothly, naturally, the wise and wise Emperor Yuan Qing is indispensable for mediating and helping.

From the first day she traveled to this world, she knew that this couple was a rare genius in the world.The two teamed up, who can compare?

It's just a pity, because they love each other too much and care too much about each other, just like Emperor Yuan Qing said, they don't care what kind of person they are in the eyes of the world, but they care about each other.Therefore, they are always helpless in one way or another, and they can't always do whatever they want.And the Queen—

Ling Xihan stared fixedly at the woman with picturesque brows and a face as pale as water, feeling a little shy in her heart.

What Prince Jing said is right, the queen... is indeed too soft-hearted sometimes.

She looked at the queen with unprecedented complexity.

The queen seemed to see through what was going on in her heart, and smiled slightly, her pale face was suddenly brightened, bright and moving, brilliant and dazzling.But Ling Xihan could see sadness and bitterness from such a bright smile.

"Whoever enters the Liuli Palace, what rules must first be followed?" The Queen continued to ask.

Huangfu Que Ling corrected his face, "Everyone who enters the Liuli Palace, no matter male or female, must abide by the monogamy system. If they violate it, they will definitely suffer the pain of cutting out their hearts."

Ling Xihan's eyes widened, monogamy?She didn't expect this.

The queen nodded, "Very well, from now on, you will be the fifth Palace Master of Liuli Palace." She glanced at the four guardians kneeling not far away, gentle and fierce.

"Haven't met the new Palace Master yet?"

The four guardians froze, and said to Huangfu Queling in unison: "My subordinates will see the Palace Master."

Huangfu Queling looked calm and majestic, and said coldly: "Get up."

"Thank you, Palace Master." The four guardians stood up and stood side by side behind Huangfu Que Ling.

Huangfu Queling turned his head to look at the queen, knelt down again, with tears in his eyes.

"Master"

The queen was already leaning against Emperor Yuan Qing's arms in a rage, her eyes were half closed, she seemed a little tired.

"I can't preside over the succession ceremony of the master of the Liuli Palace for you, but with the witness of the four guardians, those people dare not complain."

Huangfu Queling remained silent, looking at the queen with painful eyes.

The queen flinched in Emperor Yuan Qing's arms, with a smile on her lips.

"It's great, in the end, I can still die in your arms."

Emperor Yuan Qing looked down at the woman in his arms, quietly and gently, as if he wanted to carve her into the depths of his soul.

"Luo'er, I used to always think that I would give you the best in this world, and I would make you happy every day. But..." The corners of his eyes suddenly became moist, filled with sadness and pain. "In this life, you and I are too stupid." The corners of his eyes were stained with bitterness and desolation, "You don't want me to be scolded as a fool by the world because of you, and I don't want you to suffer the infamy of a beauty. So, we always It's because of looking forward and backward, and being hesitant. Now, I suddenly realize that the two of us are living for others in this life. Don't you think it's worthless?"

The queen opened her eyes weakly, and looked at him in confusion.

Emperor Yuan Qing gently stroked her face, "I like your unrestrained and casual style, your informality, and your frankness... But now, we...we have been eroded by worldly troubles, and we have gradually forgotten The original self. Thinking about it now, why do we have so many last resorts? Why do we care about others’ evaluation of us and be timid? Why can’t we be frank? Why can’t we simply love each other? Why...why are you so kind? You, but you want to end up in such a field?"
