Queen's favorite

When he woke up the next day, Qi Changle learned of his mother's imperial edict.

To be honest, she was indeed a little taken aback.

Because Qi Changle never imagined that one day the female monarch would reward her biological mother for her sake, and it was not simply a gift of playthings and jewelry, but a very useful imperial order that could change Xu's status.

After all, for a concubine like Xu, no amount of rewards can compare to the real status.

This was taken into account with great care, and it might not be possible to do this if he hadn't put himself in her shoes.

Qi Changle's heart suddenly seemed to be poked lightly, with an inexplicable and other kind of sadness, which made her in a state of bewilderment, so that after she was dazed for a moment, she finally responded. The servant who came to announce the decree thanked him.

"Concubine, thank you Your Majesty." Qi Changle and all the palace people behind him knelt down on the ground, pressing their eyelashes.

It was still Wang Gonggong who came over today, he squinted his eyes with a smile, didn't say anything more, but looked at Qi Changle with warmer eyes than before.

Then, after he handed over the imperial decree, he unfolded another imperial decree: "Mr. Qi listened to the decree——"

and also?

Qi Changle led the crowd to bow down again.

"The Qi family, the nobleman of Youxiang Pavilion, is very much in my heart. Zhuo bestowed the title of Jieyu, and I respect you."

The words are short, and it doesn't sound like the unified words canonized by the Ministry of Internal Affairs, but more like Zhong Liyu wrote it himself.

Listening to the words of this imperial decree, it seems that one can imagine that under the candlelight, Zhong Liyu held the imperial brush with one hand, and rested the other hand on his cheek, with a faint smile on his lips, carelessly lowered his eyes, and then slowly wrote the scene.

With picturesque eyebrows, a smile with the same looseness as always, and pampering and pampering for someone, and then wrote down the words "very much my heart".

……

Qi Changle did not lose his composure this time, after calmly thanking the decree, he stood up and took the decree from the prince.

There are two purposes in total.Qi Changle lowered his eyes, thinking in his heart.One is an imperial decree for her promotion, and the other is an imperial decree for her mother.

Both are honors, and both make people happy.But for Qi Changle, there is no need to say more about what suits her the most.

If it is someone else, it may not be able to do this for her.Qi Changle is very clear.

For the previous king, it was nothing to reward a concubine; sometimes when the concubine is affectionate and funny, or when the family has something to rely on, the king will not be stingy about promotion, just like giving favor to a plaything.

But the order of reward is different.

But Zhong Liyu did it.

The most important thing is...she noticed it, she knew what Qi Changle wanted most.

Qi Changle suppressed his breathing, and tightly grasped the imperial decree with his fingers.

After thanking Eunuch Wang, Qi Changle returned to the room holding two fingers. She asked the rest of the people to stay outside and not to come in. Then she sat in front of the bed and watched the two edicts unfold one by one. The writing inside.

It's Zhongliyu's character.

Qi Changle lowered her eyes, and her white fingertips slowly slid across the imperial decree, as if something had slid across her heart.

After a moment of silence, she put away the two imperial edicts.

The news of Qi Changle's promotion to Jieyu quickly spread throughout the harem, and even the atmosphere in the harem seemed to have changed.Qi Changle didn't know what other people were thinking, but she was not afraid and didn't care.

Becoming Jieyu is theoretically considered to be a serious master. If there is love, it is all right to become the master of the first palace. However, Zhongliyu has not yet made her move to the palace, so she may not move. Palace, so Qi Changle no longer cared about this matter, and still lived in Youxiang Pavilion.

But the palace people added a lot to her, adding to Jieyu's role.

Qi Changle doesn't like to have such close contact with strangers, let alone they are still serving her servants, so she still uses the old people before, and the new palace servants let them wait outside first.

After the promotion, things seemed to increase all of a sudden.All of a sudden, other people seem to have noticed a person like Qi Changle, even if they have already paid attention to Qi Changle before; now that they have a good reason to meet, Qi Changle socializes a lot more in a short time.

She handed over the newly arrived rewards and palace attendants to Suxi, after all, she was in charge of the court lady, so it was just right to arrange such a thing, and then she took Suqiao out to meet the visiting concubines.

Qi Changle doesn't like socializing with concubines. After all, although they call each other sisters, it's just a competitive relationship. Even if Zhong Liyu is different from other kings, as long as they are concubines for a day, such a relationship Can't change.

Qi Changle is not a person who likes to be friendly with enemies.

But now that something happened, she had to deal with it, so she had to bring back a fake and kind smile.

Fortunately, the others knew that they were not very familiar with Qi Changle, and they were considerate and considerate in their conversations. After coping with it, Qi Changle finally said goodbye to them.

At the end of this short meeting, Suqiao chuckled beside her: "These people are too enthusiastic, and the master is exhausted."

Qi Changle raised his eyes and smiled lightly.

Tired but not tired, after all, Qi Changle has practiced such a friendly smile and conversation with people for a long time, no matter who it is, she can talk to each other gently, so as to ensure a pleasant conversation between the two.

She used to do this to please and survive, and she didn't feel too tired, but now it's just ordinary entertainment, and she won't feel tired.

It's just... Occasionally, she will have some feelings that are both distorted and inexplicable.

It seems that this is the normal situation of concubines in the harem.

For a moment, facing these Yingying and Yanyan, she felt that she was living in a real harem again.

It stands to reason that living in the real harem would make Qi Changle much more relaxed, but thinking of this, she was not so happy.

Qi Changle rubbed the center of her brows, her mind was filled with many things, and then she thought of something, she murmured in a low voice: "I haven't had time to thank His Majesty today."

Suqiao was a little puzzled when she heard this sentence: "Didn't the master already thank you for the decree? Besides, the master is busy today, even if you don't thank him, your majesty should understand."

Of course, this is just Suqiao's deduction based on the situation of the late emperor; after all, she has never served Zhongliyu, and she has never encountered such a reward situation before—no, she has seen rewards before, but Suqiao has never seen Which concubine dotes on the female monarch to such an extent.

It is not uncommon for a female monarch to award a reward, but it is the most rare thing for a female monarch to treat her gently and kindly, even to the point of panic.

Qi Changle opened his eyes and slowly shook his head.

Her eyes were a little tired, but there was still a gentle smile on her lips, and she said softly: "Even so, I can't let His Majesty wait for me for a long time. Your Majesty rewarded me because of his... doting on me, I can't rely on it Shengjiao also misses His Majesty, so I want to see her earlier."

Hearing this, Suqiao shut her mouth knowingly.

But the sachet has just been delivered, what should I send this time to express my gratitude and heart?

I can't give another handkerchief embroidery or something, it's too unintentional.

Qi Changle was slightly distracted, thinking like this from the bottom of his heart.Then her thoughts gradually became distracted, and the fingers that were originally supporting her chin moved to the side of her lips.

Qi Changle snapped his fingers.

In a trance, she recalled that gentle kiss that was not too lingering.

Qi Changle's eyes trembled slightly, and he suddenly asked Suqiao: "Tell me, does Your Majesty dislike being close to others?"

Suqiao looked bewildered, and then carefully replied: "This should be a normal thing..."

After all, there was no "precedent" before.

Suqiao bent down and leaned in front of Qi Changle and said: "Someone deliberately touched His Majesty before, it is said that they touched His Majesty's hand, and then His Majesty gave that person's hand..." Suqiao paused, her face changed, Only then did he continue: "Afterwards, His Majesty washed his hands several times with floral dew."

It is precisely because of this that Suqiao is both excited and worried when she sees her master and His Majesty getting so close.

Excited because this is indeed unprecedented pampering and pampering, and worried because she is afraid that her nobleman, no, her own Jieyu will follow in the footsteps of the last person.

Qi Changle's answer to this question is not surprising, after all, he should be able to guess that Zhong Liyu doesn't like to let others offend his character.

Can……

Thinking of the phrase "you are allowed to commit crimes", Qi Changle couldn't help biting his lower lip.

But if the female gentleman really doesn't mind and indulges, why...

Qi Changle couldn't help asking: "Your Majesty, do you have a cleansing habit?"

Suqiao didn't think how the topic would jump here, she was a little surprised, but she thought about it loyally, and said unsurely: "Maybe, yes."

But she is not someone who serves the queen, so I am not sure.

"Master, why do you ask that?" Suqiao was a little puzzled.

Qi Changle paused, her earlobe turned red, she withdrew her gaze, and said, "It's nothing, I'm just asking casually. After all, it would be bad if you accidentally touched His Majesty's taboo."

Su Qiao nodded.

In the afternoon, Wang Xiyi came to visit, and Qi Changle welcomed her in.

Wang Xiyi smiled and said, "Now my sister is Empress Jieyu."

Qi Changle bent her lips: "I can't be called a concubine." After all, she is not the first palace lord.

Wang Xiyi: "So what, it's not far off."

Qi Changle invited her to sit down, and then his eyes stopped on Wang Xiyi's face. I don't know if it was her illusion, but she always felt that Wang Xiyi's complexion didn't look very good.

Qi Changle paused slightly, and the questioning words swirled in his mouth, not sure whether to ask or not.

She is a very cautious person, not only in doing things, but also in the process of interacting with people.Qi Changle is not a proactive character, and she doesn't know whether she wants to make friends with Wang Xiyi further, so for her, she can't just ask if she wants to.

Thinking that Suxi hadn't found out the situation of Yichun Palace, Qi Changle asked after thinking, "I don't think your complexion is very good, are you feeling unwell?"

Hearing Qi Changle's question, Wang Xiyi paused, opened her mouth, and finally replied with a smile: "It's okay, I'm fine... sister."

Qi Changle stared at her peacefully, seeing Wang Xiyi lowering her eyelashes and turning her face slightly, she nodded her head.

"it is good."

After pausing for a moment, Qi Changle still decided to obey his inner thoughts, and said softly: "If there is anything, you can tell me."

She was obviously not used to saying this kind of thing to people, her tone was soft but mixed with unavoidable jerkyness, and even her eyes were slightly confused.

"I can help you too, if I can."

Of course, this kind of help is only within the scope of her ability, if it exceeds what she can bear, Qi Changle will not take risks for outsiders.She thought so in her heart.

Qi Changle thought that such words should be said in a normal friendship, but after hearing her say that, Wang Xiyi suddenly raised her head to look at her, and then there was a faint flash of water in her eyes.

Qi Changle was a little surprised, got up and came to her side, took out a handkerchief and handed it to her, "What's wrong?"

Wang Xiyi tightly clenched the handkerchief, lowered her head, "...it's nothing."

Before Qi Changle made a statement, she had already taken a deep breath, adjusted her emotions, then raised her head to look at Qi Changle again, revealing a smile.

"No matter what, I already feel good with sister Changle's guarantee."

"So, my sister doesn't have to worry about me anymore."

Qi Changle looked down at her, seeing that Wang Xiyi didn't intend to reveal her situation, so she didn't investigate further.It's just that this matter still has doubts in her heart after all, and she is thinking whether to go and see for herself, or...ask the lady for help.

Before dinner, Qi Changle had some free time and began to think about how to express his gratitude to the lady.She had a few ideas in her mind before, but... they were all too ordinary.

There is no big mistake, but Qi Changle is not very satisfied.

Because what she wants is to leave a new or more impressive experience for the female monarch every time she uses her scheming, instead of just repeating the past, what's new in that case?

To lose the novelty too soon is to lose the mind too soon.

Qi Changle didn't want to lose his position in Zhongliyu's heart so soon.

She bit her finger lightly, her eyes lowered, thoughtful.

But before she could think of a better way, she was interrupted by a voice.

"Your Majesty is here—"

Qi Changle raised his eyes suddenly, and then realized that it was the female monarch who came over.

This is the second time that the other party has set foot in the harem and came to Youxiang Pavilion.

Qi Changle quickly stood up, knelt down and saluted together with other palace people.

Then, she saw someone stop in front of her.

Then a low laugh sounded, and Zhong Liyu stretched out his hand to her: "Get up."

Qi Changle meekly put her fingers in the opponent's hand, and stood up following her strength.

After getting up, Zhong Liyu didn't let go of his hand, but just walked inside with Qi Changle, so Qi Changle followed behind him pretending not to know, without reminding him.

Feeling the warmth wrapped around her fingertips, after a slight loss of consciousness, she couldn't help but blushed slightly for some reason.

But soon, Qi Changle realized that something was wrong with him...

What are you blushing about?

Realizing what happened to him, Qi Changle was about to go stiff.For the first time, she felt a sense of shock to herself.

It was obviously just an ordinary hand-holding, why did she feel an unwarranted sense of shame and blush because of it?

Even if it's an unusual hand-holding, she shouldn't feel at a loss because of Zhong Liyu's actions, it's not up to her usual standards, and Qi Changle absolutely doesn't allow such a thing to happen, because it's too strange and too dangerous .

After realizing that her thoughts were wandering, she pinched the palm of her other hand, then calmed down and concentrated on the matter in front of her.

Qi Changle asked softly: "Did Your Majesty have dinner before coming here? Do you want to eat with my concubine?"

Zhong Liyu raised his eyebrows, "Now he still calls himself a 'concubine'."

Qi Changle was slightly stunned, and then immediately adjusted: "It's a 'concubine'."

Zhong Liyu turned her eyes sideways, but she was not so happy when she heard that the other party had changed her name from Shanruliu, after thinking about it, she suddenly said to Qi Changle: "Don't use these names."

Qi Changle looked up in confusion: "Huh?"

However, after Zhong Liyu finished saying this sentence, she pursed her lips, as if she shouldn't have uttered that sentence; she shook her head slightly, just in time to let go of her hand, and said nothing more.

Then, she changed the topic: "Just in time, I haven't had dinner yet, let's stay with you."

Hearing this, Qi Changle responded softly, glanced at the other party's hand hanging beside him, and didn't ask any more questions; Huang Zhongjin also hurriedly ordered someone to go to the imperial dining room to give good instructions.

After the revelation, Zhong Liyu returned to her previous appearance, she turned her head and asked Qi Changle, "How, do you still like this reward?"

Qi Changle nodded slightly, and whispered softly, "The concubine is very happy, thank you, Your Majesty." She raised her eyes to look at Zhong Liyu, and the young emperor was not wearing a dragon robe, but was wearing luxurious ordinary clothes, but even so, she Already expensive.

The gorgeous and charming face is set off very beautifully under such a noble aura, adding a trace of inexplicable charm, combined with the special and frightening hostility of the female monarch, forming a unique Zhong Liyu.

Qi Changle couldn't help but asked: "How does Your Majesty know...the concubine would like this?"

What she was referring to was naturally Xu's award.

Hearing her question, Zhong Liyu rarely smiled complacently, she turned to look at Qi Changle, her fingers frivolously brushed across her cheeks, with a smile in her eyes.

"Why don't you guess?"

Qi Changle let her move indulgently, then bent his lips, "This concubine can't guess, so I want to ask His Majesty."

Zhong Liyu raised her red lips and gave her an answer in a lazy voice. "Didn't you say before that I'm not pampering you? If that's the case, then I have to pamper you again, so that you can really feel it."

"How about it, Changle, did you feel it this time?"

Qi Changle paused, and slightly opened his eyes wide.

She opened her lips, as if she didn't expect to get such an answer.

It is true that she mentioned such a thing to Zhong Liyu, but she did not expect that the other party...

Qi Changle's heart seemed to be lightly bumped by something.She couldn't help asking again: "So His Majesty's move is for... me?"

Zhong Liyu raised his eyebrows: "Otherwise, who else could it be for?" She closed her eyelashes with a slightly disdainful arrogance, "Why, don't you think I'm out of kindness, so I chose Mrs. Xu to come out to express my condolences?" , and then threw the fate on her like a cabbage?"

Qi Changle laughed helplessly: "I don't have any concubines."

Zhong Liyu said: "You better not." She narrowed her eyes, with some complacency, "You haven't answered yet, Chang Le, this time, do you feel it?"

Feel her love.

Qi Changle's eyelashes trembled slightly. After a short silence, she slowly raised them and looked at Zhongliyu.

There is a soft light in those gentle pupils like peach blossoms.

Then, she said softly: "Your Majesty asked my concubine if I felt your favor...Do you still remember how you answered the concubine's question last time?"

Without waiting for Zhong Liyu's response, Qi Changle has already stepped forward and moved closer to Zhong Liyu.

She couldn't tell exactly what state she was in at the moment, she seemed a little confused, and she was a little dazed for a while and then made an outrageous move.

Qi Changle felt that her mind was controlling her actions, but she didn't.

She seemed to be out of the control of her own reason.

The distance between the two was getting closer, because it was only in an instant, so Zhong Liyu didn't have time to stop in the future.And Qi Changle didn't want her to shout either.

"Last time, His Majesty didn't answer, but made it first." She said softly.

The next moment, Qi Changle leaned over.

Her eyelashes trembled uneasily, like the wings of a butterfly; her breathing also trembled, and she was ready to be angry.

When she touched the other's lips accurately, Qi Changle opened his eyes slightly, looking at everything in front of him as if covered in mist.

She lightly rubbed Zhong Liyu's lips, trying to dye the other's pink lips into crimson, as if she had dyed Zhong Liyu's own color with her own hands.

Qi Changle's heart was pounding, she couldn't explain what her behavior meant at the moment, the only thing she could be sure of was that she didn't hate it.

He doesn't hate touching Zhong Liyu lightly, and even foresees that he won't hate getting closer to her.

However, Zhongliyu has never done that.

After a brief contact, Qi Changle backed away.

She lowered her eyelashes, her earlobes were blushing, and even her lips were a little more bloody.

Zhongli Yu's eyes were pitch black, she looked at the person in front of her who was dyed bright red, slowly raised her finger, and brushed her lips lightly.

Zhong Liyu's emotions were subtle and his heart was clamoring, but what was certain was that there was no offended anger in it.

Even, she is still conniving at the moment.

"Changle, do you know what you were doing just now?"

Qi Changle looked sideways.

"The concubine just wanted to tell His Majesty with practical actions, and the concubine felt it."

"Whether it's the favor that His Majesty told the concubine in person last time, or the favor this time. So—"

"The concubines also want it, and give it back to His Majesty."

Zhong Liyu's voice was slow, and his fingers were still on the side of his lips.

"So, you take the initiative..." She stopped there without finishing her sentence.

Qi Changle raised his eyes and looked at Zhong Liyu.

"Because, the emotion of 'loving' should be two-way, isn't it?"

"Your Majesty wants to love your concubines, and so do your concubines, it's the same."

Her eyelashes trembled slightly.

"And Your Majesty has told the concubine that the concubine is allowed to commit crimes. Therefore, the concubine boldly carried out it once."

After hearing her words, Zhongliyu chuckled lightly.

Only then did Qi Changle relax, because Zhongliyu's laughter was not full of hostility and displeasure.

But the next moment, Zhong Liyu pinched her chin by Zhong Liyu who was taking a step closer.

The other party's eyes were dark, and the corners of his lips curled into a half-smile.

"But Changle, the real 'offending' is not just that."

After all, she lowered her head.

The author has something to say: You guys are really ruthless people who remind you immediately after reading it! ! !
