Queen's favorite

Hearing Wang Xiyi's words, Qi Changle was slightly surprised for a moment, but she couldn't tell what she was surprised for.

Is it because she was surprised by the protection of the female monarch for herself, that she was really merciless and spared Qi Tianxiang's face?

Still surprised that Wang Congyun and Qi Tianxiang's marriage ceremony will be held as usual.

But for the former, shouldn't she be prepared.Qi Changle thought so.

Zhong Liyu is a tyrant, she only does things according to her own preferences, so it is not surprising that Qi Tianxiang will act like this, rather, when Zhong Liyu does these things, she just does it behind her back, instead of putting it on the table, it is more Surprisingly.

But even so, when he heard the news, Qi Changle couldn't help but feel rippling in his heart.

Like drizzle falling into a still lake.

Even if it's only a little bit, it's still turbulent.

Of course, the latter words, although surprising, are not what Qi Changle cares about.

Since she entered the palace, it meant that she had abandoned Wang Congyun.

Soon Qi Changle returned to normal, just raised his eyebrows slightly to show surprise, and said peacefully: "It is indeed a pity, but since the marriage has not been cancelled, Tian Xiang will have a home for the rest of his life; , So, I feel relieved."

She didn't reveal her annoyance and disgust towards Qi Tianxiang, but she also didn't act anxious and worried, but her attitude was just right and she didn't lose her tongue.

Wang Xiyi was not very clear about the relationship between the two sisters, seeing that Qi Changle's reaction was flat, she didn't say anything else.After all, she didn't come here this time to gossip, the important thing is to get close to Sister Changle.

Soon it was evening, and Wang Xiyi was about to get up and leave.

Before leaving, she glanced towards the direction of the main hall, showing a little hesitation, as if she wanted to say something, but finally endured it.

Qi Changle naturally noticed that something was wrong with her, but because the relationship between the two of them is not very close at present, and they are not yet trustworthy, therefore, Qi Changle just wrote down Wang Xiyi's reaction, and did not take the liberty to ask.

Before sending Wang Xiyi away, the other party still couldn't help frowning slightly, and asked Qi Changle: "Sister... Is Xu Zhaoyi the empress in sister's palace?"

Qi Changle nodded.

Wang Xiyi: "Then... is she easy to get along with?"

This time Qi Changle was a little surprised, I don't know why Wang Xiyi asked this question, but she still replied: "Ms. Zhaoyi has a gentle temperament and treats people peacefully, so she is naturally easy to get along with."

Hearing her answer, Wang Xiyi smiled, "That's fine." But she didn't mention anything else.

Looking at the back of the other party leaving, Qi Changle stood at the door, his eyes slightly lowered, revealing a trace of thought.

Maybe it was because she stayed for so long that Su Xi was a little puzzled: "My lord?"

Qi Changle withdrew his thoughts, pursed his lips, and finally said: "Suxi, you secretly send someone to find out if anything happened in Yichun Palace recently."

Su Xi responded quickly.

Qi Changle didn't take this matter to heart, after all, other people's affairs were abnormal, and it didn't have much to do with her.

Qi Changle is very clear about what she should do, and she also knows who should occupy the first place in her heart.Therefore, most of her mind is spent on the female monarch.

It has been a few days since the last time I gave lotus seed soup, she had to come up with a new gift to give to the female gentleman, so that she could deepen her affection for her.

But of course there is no need to think about jewellery, Zhongliyu will not lack and will not like them.

Or...any simple, silver-bought gift is out of consideration.More than ten thousand people, how could they lack these.

Then you just have to make it yourself.

Judging from the previous situation, the effect achieved was surprisingly good.

When talking about this matter with Suxi, Suxi thought of a suggestion: "Master, why not... make a dress or a sachet for Your Majesty? This can not only express your heart, but also allow Your Majesty to carry it with you."

Qi Changle wasn't too excited, but propped his chin with one hand, thinking a little.

"Of course it's okay, but, the Ministry of Internal Affairs can also prepare these things? It's my own wish, but it's not obvious enough."

She lowered her voice and murmured.

Giving gifts is a matter of intention and love, but it is not a scheming that can be squandered arbitrarily, otherwise, if it is too casual, there will always be a day when it will fail.

Then while it was still valid, Qi Changle didn't want to let such a precious opportunity be wasted too much.

After thinking about it, Qi Changle asked again: "Speaking of which, when is His Majesty's birthday?"

She had never heard of the Queen's birthday being mentioned before, as if in her memory, there was no Longevity Festival held?

This is a little strange, doesn't Zhongli Yu like to make a big fuss on his birthday?But even so, it shouldn't be silent at all.

Qi Changle has been isolated at home all year round, and he doesn't know any news.

But when she asked this sentence, Su Xi knelt down on the ground with a terrified face, and hurriedly stopped her: "My lord, don't mention this matter!"

She looked terrified as if Qi Changle had just said something taboo.

Qi Changle frowned, seeing Suxi's reaction, she immediately stood up and closed the window and door, and then swept her dark eyes.

After a slight pause, Qi Changle pursed his lips and walked over, saying in a deep voice, "What's the situation?"

Su Xi took a breath, and then slowly explained the whole story clearly.

It turned out that when Zhong Liyu was still His Royal Highness, she didn't like to celebrate her birthday, but because the late emperor loved her very much, every birthday would send Zhong Liyu a lot of rewards, so she couldn't avoid birthdays like this; So although Zhong Liyu didn't like it, it wasn't so "serious" at the time.

After ascending the throne, the court hall almost became Zhongliyu's one-spoken hall. It was too late for the ministers to fear her on weekdays. It was rare that Zhongliyu actively showed a tendency to hate her, and the courtiers would not take the initiative to disobey her. has never been held in years.

There used to be a concubine in the harem who wanted to take this opportunity to gain a chance, so she boldly ordered someone to cook a bowl of longevity noodles for Zhong Liyu. That day...

Su Xi's voice was weak, but she spoke very quickly: "That empress and her entire palace, including members of the family, were all tortured with a stick, and then, given death."

Qi Changle was not surprised by such a result.

That person who dared to take the initiative to touch Zhongli Yunilin was tantamount to pulling out a tiger's beard, and it was conceivable that he would be given death.

But what Qi Changle didn't understand was why Zhong Liyu hated his birthday so much?

There was a slight movement in her heart, and her eyes flickered.

Naturally, no one knew the reason behind this, and no one dared to explore it.After all, Zhongliyu has become more and more majestic in recent years, it is impossible for anyone to dare to touch her Nilin, so although everyone is puzzled, they all acquiesce in this matter.

Naturally, Qi Changle wouldn't be so stupid as to lift the opponent's Ni Lin, but this incident made her feel that there seemed to be some crucial hidden secrets in it.

If Qi Changle wants to gain Zhongliyu's favor and attention, she must constantly increase her weight and status in the other's heart, but correspondingly, she has to pay something for it.

For example, her love and concern that are absolutely comparable to sincerity.

Another example... She needs to master some secrets, some secrets that can only be kept between her and Zhongliyu, so as to deepen their relationship.

The last "hungry belly" incident and the "replacing into the palace" incident all made Qi Changle a little bit more weight in the heart of the female monarch.

Maybe this time... the same.

And she had a hunch that this matter must be very important to Zhong Liyu.

But even though she has thoughts in her heart, Qi Changle has always been a cautious person, at the moment she is just thinking about it in her heart, she is not so stupid that she can't even protect herself, and angered Zhong Liyu.

So she just nodded, indicating that she knew, and didn't make any remarks.

Then Qi Changle helped Su Xi up with his own hands, and said with a smile: "Okay, speaking of it, I would like to thank you, if you hadn't reminded me, I'm afraid I would have made a mistake already."

Indeed, if Su Xi hadn't stopped him, Qi Changle would have gone to ask Zhong Liyu by himself - after all, it was an opportunity to show sincerity.

Su Xi was still in shock, she shook her head: "No, the servant girl can't stand the master's thanks, if you want to say it, the servant girl was negligent and didn't tell the young master about it."

After all, she never knew about Qi Changle's past, so she couldn't imagine that the "daughter" of the Household Minister's family would not know about it.

Qi Changle bent his lips and didn't worry about it anymore.She changed the topic: "Okay, there is no need to discuss this matter anymore. Let's think about what kind of sachet to send to His Majesty."

Su Xi blessed Fushen: "Yes."

Said to give Zhongli Yuxiu sachet, Qi Changle really started to prepare.After all, she couldn't think of any other better gift for a while, so she had to send a sachet made by herself.

I hope I won't be disgusted by the other party.

While embroidering flowers, Qi Changle didn't really take time off, because she suddenly thought of something, or rather - an opportunity to take advantage of.

How will a low-ranking concubine who loves a queen behave when she feels "threats" from others, even high-ranking ones?

Is it forbearance and generosity to show that you can bear it, regardless of your own feelings and just want to satisfy the queen, or will you feel uneasy and change your previous gentle image and act a little bit jealous?

Because Qi Changle suddenly thought, after hearing the fact that the empress valued the imperial concubine so much, would she, who "loves" the empress, have to do something?

...Ah, sometimes she really hates her character, who can even use her own emotions.She is full of calculations, and she is full of scheming when interacting with people. Who will like her like this.

What the other party likes is only the fake side she shows; Qi Changle even thinks, it is impossible for anyone to like the real her, the real her appearance...

Putting herself in her shoes, even she herself would not fall in love with someone who has no sincerity and only knows how to calculate.

Who knows whether the other party's expression is true or false.

"hiss--"

Qi Changle regained his thoughts from the trance, frowned and looked at the blood coming out of his fingertips.

"Master, your hand!" Su Ling, who was making the sachet with her, immediately shouted when she saw that Qi Changle accidentally stabbed herself.

Qi Changle said: "It's just a small wound poked by the embroidery needle, don't worry, just wrap it with gauze." She lowered her eyes, a little carelessly: "Or press it with a ball of cotton for a while, and it will be fine later. "

It's just a small injury, it's too much of a fuss.

Hearing what Qi Changle said, Su Ling opened her mouth, but she couldn't refute anything, so she finally brought gauze and wrapped it around Qi Changle thickly.

Qi Changle: "..."

She couldn't help laughing, "It's too much affecting the feel of my sachet."

Su Ling said: "But it can't be because of this, my little master, you don't cherish yourself."

Qi Changle smiled and shook his head, "If you cherish it as much as you do, by the time you call the imperial doctor over, the wound on my fingertips will have healed."

Su Ling couldn't hear her teasing, she blushed and said nothing more.

After laughing, Qi Changle looked at his fingers and narrowed his eyes.

The next day, Liu Shuyun came to visit.

Qi Changle raised his eyebrows when he heard her name, a little surprised, and then ordered: "Okay, let her wait, I'll come right away."

When Qi Changle went out, Liu Shuyun quickly stood up and saluted her.

"Hello, noble sister."

Qi Changle slightly bent his lips, motioned her to get up, and then asked her: "I don't know why Liu promised to come here?"

Seeing that Qi Changle didn't intend to exchange greetings, Liu Shuyun went straight to the point.

"That's how it is. The concubine got news today that Ren Xu has recovered and will be able to go to the farm soon."

Qi Changle is naturally aware of this matter, after all, Wang Xiyi has told her about it; but Wang Xiyi told this matter, one is because she has the mentality of sharing gossip, and the other is that she has the intention of getting close to Qi Changle, so she took the initiative to tell her thing.But Liu Shuyun, why?

Seeing that Qi Changle didn't have much reaction, Liu Shuyun was not surprised, she just smiled and continued: "I hope that the noble sister will not misunderstand, the reason why the concubine told my sister this news is also out of concern for her safety. Worry."

Hearing this, Qi Changle became a little interested.

"What do you say?"

Liu Shuyun: "We all know exactly why Ren Chao's accident happened. It's because he tried to imitate his sister but failed and was given by His Majesty... So, I'm worried that after he gets better this time, he will hate my sister."

Qi Changle smiled lightly: "You also said that he was hurt by His Majesty, so why would he hate me?"

Liu Shuyun smiled meaningfully: "My sister doesn't know something. The people involved in this matter include both His Majesty and you, but Ren Che absolutely dare not bear grudges against His Majesty, and he doesn't have that ability. But this time The hurt he suffered was real, if he felt unhappy, the first person to point the finger at would be the elder sister whom he tried to imitate but couldn't reach."

"Whether it's out of jealousy, sourness, or unwillingness to be compared."

"That's why I want to ask my sister to be more careful."

Qi Changle took a sip of tea, but he didn't take Liu Shuyun seriously in his heart.

It's not a reminder to her, after all, Qi Changle is a careful person, since someone said it, it's easy for her to be more careful about her next appointment; what she doesn't take seriously is that Liu Shuyun's job is a good seller.

Qi Changle didn't think that the other party wanted to get close to her or take refuge in her.

After all, the impression Liu Shuyun gave her was sometimes a bit... baffled.

Whether it was the other party's initiative to talk during the draft, or the various things they got along with later.

But Qi Changle didn't need to have a bad relationship with her, so she just nodded with a smile, indicating that she knew.

Before leaving, Liu Shuyun reminded with a little deep meaning: "But I think, if my sister took the initiative to visit Ren and promised, it might save a lot of effort."

"Ren promised him to do things with a guilty conscience. If my sister goes, even if he has something, he must not dare to use it."

After Liu Shuyun left, Su Xi was thoughtful: "Master, will you agree to visit Ren?"

Qi Changle thought for a while: "Forget it, I won't go."

Originally, she wanted to go.

Liu Shuyun's words will not be aimless, Qi Changle is still very interested to see what the other party's purpose is.

Is it really calculated?Or is it just for her sake?

Whether it is an enemy or a friend should be known soon.

But then Qi Changle thought about it again, why did she distract Ren Qiao?

Ren Chao was stabbed by the female monarch herself, and she also imitated her.Whether it's from her own heart or to play, she doesn't want to go there.

So in the end Qi Changle decided to take it easy and put the matter of Ren Che aside for a while.

She propped her chin up, and there was a little warmth in her dark eyes.

"Why don't you think about it, what kind of spices should you put in the sachet for His Majesty?"

……

The sachets are ready quickly.

In the end, it contained some spices that could calm the nerves and help sleep provided by Qi Changle after he asked the imperial doctor.

After all, if the female monarch suffers from unbearable headaches, smelling some soothing spices can also help soothe the spirit.

Because of the experience of giving lotus seed soup last time, Qi Changle came to the Hall of Mental Cultivation this time.

It's not that she insisted on coming here, but that Zhong Liyu didn't know what he was busy with recently and didn't come to the harem, so if she wanted to see him, she could only come here on her own initiative.

Fortunately, Zhong Liyu never stopped him, so Qi Changle was able to enter and exit smoothly.

After entering, Qi Changle saw that Zhong Liyu was writing something, her expression seemed to be okay, she knelt down quietly to salute.

Zhong Liyu raised his eyes, then threw the pen casually, making Qi Chang happy.

"What's the matter, what's the purpose of coming here this time?" She looked a little amiable.

Qi Changle looked at the other party's rare soft and glamorous face, and it was inevitable that she was in a daze for a while, but soon, she restrained her mind, and first asked: "Did the concubine disturb Your Majesty?"

Zhong Liyu raised his eyebrows slightly: "No, why do you ask that?"

Qi Changle replied as he walked over: "Because the concubine saw what His Majesty was writing just now, so..."

"Oh, that." Zhong Liyu smiled, and a smile appeared in his dark eyes. "Would you like to see it?"

Qi Changle was startled: "Huh?" Then she realized and said hastily: "I dare not."

Zhong Liyu stood up from the chair, with a nonchalant smile on his lips: "Why don't you dare? I say yes."

Her black eyes are shining, although they are scorching, but occasionally she will inadvertently reveal a bit of domineering anger. "Or are you worried about what others will say? Don't worry, no one dares to say it."

"But the concubine..."

Zhong Liyu directly stretched out his hand to pull her over, and then, as if wanting to show off to her, he picked up what he just wrote.

——It’s a memorial.

No matter how scheming Qi Changle was, he would never have imagined that Zhongliyu would show her the memorial so openly. At that moment, Qi Changle almost closed his eyes to prove his innocence.

But she reacted quickly, breathed a sigh of relief, and looked over calmly.

But after seeing the content clearly, she was stunned.

Because that memorial is a memorial to the Minister of Rites.

In the memorial, the Minister of Rites mentioned all kinds of problems with his son, and said that his son is now devoted to the Buddha and has no heart in the world, and he may not be able to fulfill the marriage contract bestowed by the queen, so he begged the queen to give Wang Congyun a chance to practice Buddhism.

Seeing this, Qi Changle couldn't help but pause.

"He is..."

Zhong Liyu laughed, although it was more or less mocking, but not so cold, and then she said to Qi Changle as if chatting: "This is a plan to use an abandoned child who has long been abandoned Unfavored son, come to exchange for a chance of peace."

Qi Changle's eyes narrowed slightly.

Indeed, even though this marriage is now personally bestowed by the female monarch, anyone can guess that Qi Tianxiang won the displeasure of the female monarch. It will be a disaster for such a person to marry in sooner or later. I am afraid that no one wants to get involved with the Qi family now. relationship.

Although Wang Congyun is the legitimate son of Shangshu of the Ministry of Rites, but in the final analysis, he is only the son of his original spouse, he has long been out of favor, and even if he becomes a monk, it will have no effect.

Taking a step back, even if Shangshu of the Ministry of Rites only has Wang Congyun as his son or son, he would probably do the same.

The son can still be born again, but if disaster happens because of marrying Qi Tianxiang, there will be no second fate.

"Am I so easy to fool?" The lady raised her eyebrows slightly in disbelief.

Then she whispered: "It's been two or three years, and you still play this game with me, heck."

But she wasn't too angry, obviously there was some channel to vent it out, and it also made her find new fun.

Zhong Liyu stood beside Qi Changle, and reminded in a good tone: "Look down."

Then Qi Changle saw the comment of the female monarch - Zhu Ji is not dry, it must have been written by her just now.

Zhong Liyu's reply was also very simple. She told the Minister of Rites that Qi Tianxiang must marry, after all, there is a marriage contract, since Wang Congyun's heart is devoted to the Buddha and has no heart in the world, then why not marry him as a father, anyway, sooner or later he will be a family people.

Qi Changle: "..." What a family.

Seeing that Qi Changle had finished reading it, Zhong Liyu reached out and took the memorial away, throwing it on the table.

Qi Changle laughed, and couldn't help but said: "Your Majesty, it's indeed a good way."

Zhongli Yu lazily hooked the corner of his lower lip: "Of course, I have plenty of ways to deal with them."

Then, before Qi Changle could say anything, Zhong Liyu came in front of her and took Qi Changle's hand.

Another person's temperature pressed against her palm, making Qi Changle slightly taken aback.

Then, she felt Zhong Liyu touch her finger that was still wrapped in gauze and had not been removed.

Zhong Liyu squinted his eyes, the darkness accumulated in his eyes, the warmth of the smile on his lips faded little by little, and his voice also contained a hint of gloom.

"So, now, do you want to explain this? Changle?"

Qi Changle opened his lips, and his eyes moved over his fingers.

She originally wanted to reveal it when she was giving out the kit, and even thought, this is the same trick, will it work?

But her original purpose was not to "sell miserably".

Qi Changle paused, then raised his eyes.Instead of answering, he asked: "I am bold, I want to ask Your Majesty... is it..."

Her eyelashes trembled, she lowered her eyes, and her voice lowered a little: "Does your majesty love the imperial concubine very much?"

How can I fix my arm that hurts?

True family (hahahaha)
