Yan Qing returned to Yunqi Palace, and the maid came forward to help him take off his coat. Then someone brewed tea and brought it over.

The fragrance of tea filled the room.

Yan Qing held a cup of fragrant tea and walked slowly to the cage. He lowered his eyes and glanced at Wen Jin who was sitting in the cage reading a book: "Looks pretty good."

Wen Jin put down the book and knelt respectfully: "Greetings, Your Highness."

Yan Qing looked at him quietly, "Will you feel bored when you are alone?"

"No." Wen Jin shook his head, "When I read a book and can't concentrate, I will think back to the ten years in Suzaku City. I feel very fulfilled and have an indescribable sense of happiness."

"Happiness?" Yan Qing raised his eyebrows, "Are you sure you didn't use the wrong word?"

Wen Jin lowered his eyes: "All things worth remembering are happy."

Yan Qing believed him for the time being and spoke calmly: "The Queen Mother poisoned Yan Chen."

Poisoned?

Wen Jin was slightly stunned, looking up at Yan Qing's stunning face, clearly feeling her sudden change, and for a moment he didn't know whether to be happy or sad.

"What do you want to say?"

Wen Jin shook his head slowly: "Your Highness, I have no right to comment on what you want to do."

Yan Qing smiled faintly: "As the emperor's most trusted favorite, your reaction at this time is really inappropriate."

Wen Jin said: "I am just your Highness's..."

"What is yours?"

Wen Jin was silent: "Pet."

"It has some sense of being a pet." Yan Qing took a sip of tea, his voice was slightly cold, "Raising a pet does make people happy, and it also saves worry. When you are free, When you have nothing to do, you can enjoy beauty. When you are in a bad mood, you can bring it up to vent. When you are tired of it, you can change another one. You don't have to bear any responsibility. It is more comfortable than those men who have three wives and concubines. Don't you think so? "

"...Yes." Wen Jin's face was pale, but his tone became more gentle and obedient, "As long as Your Highness likes it."

Yan Qing sneered, put down the teacup, turned and walked to the back hall: "Serve me in the bath."

Wen Jin lowered his eyebrows and responded, got up and walked out of the cage, took the key to open the wrist shackles, and followed Yan Qing to the back hall.

The mist curled up, and the faint fragrance floated.

The woman's skin was as white as ice, and her skin was as perfect as fine jade. Wen Jin knelt quietly by the bathtub, holding a soft towel in his hand to wash her body.

The room was quiet.

"Your Highness, let Hu Yushi's son enter the palace?" Wen Jin lowered his eyes, hiding the paranoid and lingering color in his eyes.

"What do you think?"

"I dare not."

"It's best if you don't dare." Yan Qing said lazily, "It's not your turn to ask about the affairs of the palace."

Wen Jin was silent, and his drooping eyebrows revealed a bit of loneliness in his noble eyes, which made people feel melancholy for no reason.

Yan Qing leaned against the edge of the bathtub, letting the warm water wrap her body. Her expression became more lazy and cold: "There are too many civil and military officials in the court who dislike the palace, and there are many people who are afraid of the palace. If the queen disobeys them, the palace will punish them from their children or grandchildren. , pick out the most precious one to be sent to the backyard as a slave, and see if they dare to challenge the palace. "

Wen Jin pursed his lips: "If so, the backyard will be overcrowded."

"Overcrowded? You worry too much." Yan Qing raised the corner of his lips slightly, "The Suzaku Palace has a wide terrain and many courtyards, so it is no problem to accommodate 180 servants."

Wen Jin lowered his eyes: "Your Highness, do you want to send them to Suzaku City?"

"I do have this idea." Yan Qing's voice was scattered, "The palace is too lazy to see these annoying things, so send them far away and see if their fathers and brothers dare to confront the palace."

Wen Jin said nothing more and focused on serving Yan Qing.

Looking at the scene at this time, the beauty was bathing, the mist was curling, the fragrance was floating in the air, and the handsome prince next to her lowered his eyebrows and served gently and meticulously. It was a picture that made people unable to look away.

Heavenly treatment, nothing more than this.

However, Yan Qing closed her eyes, but those unpleasant past events involuntarily emerged in her mind, making her feel extremely bad.

"Wen Jin." Yan Qing opened her eyes, tilted her head to look at his handsome and noble features, and her voice became more leisurely and lazy, "You have been in the court for three years, and you have been appointed as the Prime Minister. You are in a high position at a young age, and you have such a beautiful face. Isn't there a noble lady in the city who admires you?"

"I don't know." Wen Jin lowered his eyebrows and replied respectfully, "I never care about these things."

"No colleagues in the court have mentioned to you in person that they are willing to marry their daughter to you?"

"No." Wen Jin was calm and docile, "Even if they have such an idea, they won't bring it up so quickly."

When the previous emperor was in power, several emperors in the court competed with each other, and each had a supporting party minister behind them.

Wen Jin was a young upstart who was entrusted with an important task by the previous emperor. In just three years, he became a powerful minister. Countless eyes were staring at him, but no one dared to mess around.

Because ministers are good at guessing the emperor's intentions, winning over powerful officials under the emperor's nose will make the emperor unhappy and even suspicious.

"Your Highness, the Princess." Shen Mo reported outside, "The son of Hu Yushi has been brought here, please give your instructions, Princess."

Wen Jin paused slightly when he was rubbing her body, and a ruthless look flashed in his eyes, and then he continued to serve Yan Qing as if nothing had happened.

Yan Qing didn't say anything, walked out of the bath, and said lazily: "Is the palace beautiful?"

Wen Jin knelt beside him: "Beautiful."

"Do you like the palace?"

"Yes."

"Since the Queen is beautiful and you like her, why don't you want to be her consort?" Yan Qing casually asked, and the wide robe was draped over his body, covering his slender body tightly, as if asking casually.

Wen Jin was silent for a moment: "Minister——"

"Not worthy?" Yan Qing raised his eyebrows, looked down at him, and smiled lazily, "You are indeed right. In this case, the Queen will never mention this topic again, you can be a pet peacefully, and when the Queen is tired of you, she will let you go free."

After saying this, she walked out.

Wen Jin slowly raised his eyes and stared at her slender back: "What I want to say is that I am willing."

"It's too late." Yan Qing's voice was cold, "The Queen doesn't need a consort, it's good to have a pet."

Wen Jin was startled, and the hand hanging by his side slowly clenched.
