Queen's favorite

Waking up early the next morning, Qi Changle was waiting for his mother to arrive.It's rare for Su Xi to see her like this, and she couldn't help but pursed her lips and chuckled: "Master, wait a minute, Madam will be here soon."

Qi Changle—supporting his chin with one hand, smiled.She was indeed in a good mood today, so it was extremely rare to show a sincere smile on her face, not the kind of maskless smile in the past, although it was gentle, it was too fake.At this moment, the corners of her lips are raised, and her eyes are shining like stars.

Qi Changle curled his lips, blinked his eyelashes, and didn't care about Su Xi's kind cancellation, but tapped his fingertips, and replied: "I'm really happy, after all, I haven't seen my mother for a long time. I don’t know if she’s doing well or not.”

Moreover, my mother didn't know how she was doing, so she must have been worried a lot when she was in the mansion.

This meeting was very good, so that my mother should not worry anymore after seeing her current situation, and she can feel much more comfortable in her heart.

And now that she has moved out of the mansion, and is the imperial wife, the Wang family must not be able to embarrass her.

Not to mention, what Wang and the others should worry about now is how to deal with the situation of not having enough food.

If the female monarch wants to take revenge, then - she will definitely get to the bottom of it.

Although on the surface it seems that Qi Si and the others are simply being deducted from rations, but in fact, if the order of the queen is passed, no one in the entire capital will sell a grain of rice to Qi Si, even if Qi Si wants to go out to buy food , his subordinates will definitely not be able to get out.

This also means that they will be really hungry.

Maybe outsiders will think that being hungry is not so uncomfortable, but only those who have really experienced hunger will know what kind of pain it is.When I was really hungry, I even wanted to bite myself.

Such a pleasant thing, really happy.

Qi Changle squinted his eyes and smiled lightly, with a rare cunning appearance like a little fox with crooked eyes.But then, she couldn't help thinking that such honors, such favors... were all given to her by the queen.

The smile on Qi Changle's face was reduced by two points, and his mood was unavoidably low.

Although two days have passed, Qi Changle still can't get rid of the influence of that emotion.She couldn't tell whether she was depressed or nervous, but the only thing she could be sure of was that she did have to admit that she was unhappy.

Think about it, no matter who is told that one day they will lose favor and be depressed, they will be unhappy, and Qi Changle is no exception, so she thinks that this is the reason for her unhappiness.But……

"master!"

Qi Changle was interrupted by Su Xi's voice, raised his eyes, and saw Mrs. Xu walking towards this direction followed by a servant.

She instantly forgot the emotions just now, and then quickly stood up to welcome him out.

Although Xu's current order is higher than that of Qi Changle according to the rank, but after all, the two monarchs and ministers are different, and now she is the concubine of a female monarch, so her status is naturally different.

So after arriving, Mrs. Xu was ready to kneel down and salute.

Qi Changle hastily stepped forward and grabbed her, "What is mother going to do?"

She frowned, obviously seeing Xu's meaning, and then persuaded: "Now my mother is a first-class, I am just Jieyu, and I can't be a mother to salute. Besides, my mother is my elder, how can I make my elders bow down to me? Doesn’t this frustrate me? Mother, get up quickly.”

Being pulled by Qi Changle like this, Xu obviously couldn't kneel down, so she had no choice but to stand up with strength, smiled at Qi Changle, and looked at her intently, trying to find out whether Qi Changle had suffered any grievances. .

Qi Changle curled his lips and smiled happily.She ordered Suxi to send the servant out, and then immediately walked into the inner room with Mrs. Xu on her arm.

"Mother, please."

The two went inside together, Qi Changle ordered the servants to retreat after serving refreshments, so that no one would disturb them, she and Xu sat together to catch up on the old days.

Without the presence of outsiders, the decent smile on Xu's face could no longer be maintained. With obvious excitement and worry in her eyes, she held Qi Changle's hand trembling slightly, "Changle, my son...you have suffered."

Hearing this, Qi Changle was stunned, and knew that her mother still hadn't passed the previous hurdle.

In her heart, she still felt that she was useless, not only unfavored, but even her natal family had no influence, and she was also a concubine, which made the Wang mother and daughter unable to resist even if they bullied her, which led to Qi Changle being pushed out to replace her. Palace - things.

She felt that she was to blame for this incident, so she blamed herself very much.

Looking at her mother's sad and tearful appearance, Qi Changle's heart softened a little, she comforted softly: "Mother don't need to be sad anymore, the people who really did wrong in this matter are father and Mrs. Wang, what has it to do with mother?"

What's more, if you take a step back, the real culprit is Zhong Liyu.Of course, Qi Changle only thought about these words in his heart.

"My mother treats me well. I have remembered it since I was a child. How can I hate my mother for such a thing? What's more, it is not easy for my mother to protect me. This matter... is not something that my mother can stop, so I don't have to worry about it. "

Xu was comforted by her, although the tears could not stop falling, but the bottom of her heart was not so sad.

Qi Changle bent her lips and said with a smile: "Besides, my mother is now the imperial wife, so if she wants to avenge me and go back, it will be very easy."

Hearing her words, Xu gradually calmed down. She wiped away her tears and became firm.

"You're right. The matter of Mrs. Wang's bullying our mother and daughter can't be settled like this. She bullied her in the past, and now it's time to pay the price."

Qi Changle bent his eyes and smiled, but didn't say anything to warn or stop him.

After all, she is not a good person herself, and she herself has the idea of ​​revenge after being favored in the palace, how can she stop her mother's revenge.

She has been acting for a long time, and it is rare for her to reveal her - part of her real - side in front of her mother.

Qi Changle sat on Xu's side, leaning on her mother's shoulder, just like when she was a child.The smile on her face faded slightly, and the bewilderment in her eyes was revealed again.

"Mother……"

Qi Changle only revealed a little something wrong with her emotions, and Xu Shi noticed it.She reached out and touched Qi Changle's face, her voice was soft, "Changle, is there anything unhappy in the palace?"

After the observation just now, Xu has already noticed that her daughter has not been harmed, and she is even quite favored. If not for this, she would not have been ordered.So Xu's heart has already been put down - half.

The reason why the other half didn't let go was because she was still worried as a mother.

Changle's current situation looks good, but what should she do in the future?

In the time of the first emperor, there were no flowers that would bloom for a hundred days, but now it is here with the female monarch, how can it be possible.Not to mention that if it is an ordinary king, he can still have a son and two daughters by virtue of pampering, then he will be guaranteed in the future, and the deep palace will not be lonely, but the queen...

She has to worry about her daughter's future situation.

Hearing her mother's question, Qi Changle pursed her lips and buried her face.

She did have something unhappy, but the sudden appearance of this emotion caught her off guard, let alone traced back to the source.So Qi Changle didn't know what to say.

Also, she felt overwhelmed and troubled by the emotion she was having, so she didn't want to talk about it.

It seems that if you don't talk about it or watch it, this matter will not exist.

Seeing that Qi Changle did not answer, Xu Shi was not in a hurry, but comforted her softly.

Listening to her mother's gentle whisper, Qi Changle's mood eased a lot.

She looked ahead, and suddenly said softly: "Mother, why did you marry father?"

Seemingly unexpected that Qi Changle would suddenly ask this question, Xu was stunned for a while, then she thought about it, and a helpless but gentle chuckle appeared on her lips.

"At that time, your father was still young, handsome, good-looking, and gentle in dealing with others. I fell in love with him when I met him at that time, so I ignored my parents' objections, even if my family was weak, even if I married him as a concubine, I was also willing, so I got married."

Qi Changle blinked slightly.

"So, is it because you like it?"

Xu sighed.

"Yeah, it's just this kind of liking, but it's also been worn-out."

Qi Changle has never liked anyone, so he doesn't understand such feelings.

Even when planning her own marriage before, she paid more attention to the benefits the other party can bring to her, and whether she can live better after marrying.

At that time, Qi Changle couldn't wait to get rid of that environment, and only hoped that her future husband would be a talented person with a clean family style.As for the relationship between a man and a woman, she never thought about it, let alone marrying someone because she likes it.

She shouldn't have cared about such things, let alone now that she has entered the palace.But now Qi Changle couldn't help thinking that if she fell in love with someone...

What would happen if she also came to the harem because she liked it?

Xu didn't know what Qi Changle was thinking, but said softly: "Now I don't think about those things anymore, I just hope that my Changle will be happy and spend the rest of her life in peace."

Qi Changle lowered his eyes, slowly clenched his fingers.

Yes, so is her wish.

So why is she confused? This kind of confusion is something she doesn't need, and it will hinder her steps. Therefore, whether it is confusion or inexplicable dull emotions, it should be eliminated.

Those worries are all unimportant, anyway, there is no conflict with her purpose.She just needs to look at the road ahead.

Chang Le said softly: "Me too, mother."

Xu did not stay in the palace for too long, and left after talking with Qi Changle.

Qi Changle was very reluctant to see his mother off, and then said to the other party: "Mother, don't worry, I will protect myself in the palace."

Xu smiled and said softly: "Changle, mother will not ask you to be successful, as long as you are happy and safe, you can't force yourself in everything, remember?"

Qi Changle nodded, "Okay, I know."

……

Su Xi originally thought that her Jieyu had been in a bad mood for the past two days, and now that Mrs. Xu came and left in a hurry, would it make the master's mood even more depressed, but she later found out that she was wrong.

Faced with Xu's departure, Qi Changle was definitely reluctant, but after that, she seemed to be thinking about something, and she was no longer depressed like before.

Su Xi only thought that it was her mother's arrival that relieved Qi Changle's longing, she didn't think too much about it, she just breathed a sigh of relief for Qi Changle's untie knot.

Qi Changle counted the days and found that in a few days it would be Qi Tianxiang's wedding day. Thinking of this, she suddenly had an... illusion of a lifetime away.

The day when she fought with Qi Tianxiang was obviously not long ago, but she had the illusion that it had been a long time.

Perhaps it was because she had such a deep impression of being in the mansion that when she recalled the past, she always thought about the affairs of the mansion.

But she has been in the palace for some time now, no wonder she feels so far away.

But... I heard that the scar on Qi Tianxiang's face was specially ordered by Zhong Liyu to keep it, and I don't know how Qi Tianxiang will have a tattoo on his cheek for the wedding ceremony, how he feels.

Thinking of this, Qi Changle felt comfortable.

Of course she is not a good person, let alone a good person who repays evil with kindness.Qi Tianxiang provoked and insulted her so many times, and only let the other party pay for this mistake, Qi Tianxiang will not lose.

However, seeing that this incident was extremely harmful and insulting to Qi Tianxiang, Qi Changle decided to write it off, and no longer deliberately target Qi Tianxiang.Of course, the premise is that the other party can be smarter and stop taking the initiative to find them.

Since Qi Tianxiang is going to get married, as a sister, she should also prepare a gift for her.

Qi Changle thought about it, but couldn't think of any gift for the time being.But since there are still a few days left, she is not in a hurry.

Before that, what Qi Changle had to deal with was Concubine Ying.

To be honest, she didn't have much ill feeling towards the concubine.Although the other party was trying to make things difficult for her, because what he did was so in line with the status of a harem concubine, Qi Changle accepted it quickly.

The only thing that makes her uncomfortable is...Concubine Ying is always trying to imitate Zhong Liyu.I don't know if he intentionally moved closer to the female monarch, or was unconsciously influenced by the female monarch, but Qi Changle was not so comfortable when he saw that his words and deeds seemed to be a low-profile version of Zhong Liyu.

She comforted herself, maybe it was because she was used to the rebellion and disdain of the queen, so when she saw a fake, she would instinctively be unhappy.

Today she came to Yichun Palace to copy Buddhist scriptures. It was getting late and candles were lit in the hall, but soon Concubine Ying ordered someone to turn off the lamps next to her.

Well, quite a common method.

Qi Changle was already prepared in his heart, so there was not much fluctuation.

Copying books in a dark environment is indeed bad for the eyes, and if the copying is not good or out of specification, he will be beaten back to copy again, but Qi Changle has already developed a good vision, so he is not very worried.

In fact, she has experienced this kind of method before under Wang's subordinates, and she was already very skilled at that time, let alone now.

Qi Changle smiled.

Ying Shucheng - while sitting on the couch pretending to rest, - while paying close attention to Qi Changle's situation, he couldn't help frowning when he found that the other party didn't have any complaints or complaints, but actually copied seriously.

To be honest, it is impossible for him to believe that Qi Changle has no resentment, and it is impossible for anyone to be bullied without negative emotions. As a noble son who grew up spoiled, this is what he thinks.

After all, when Ying Xucheng first entered the palace and was bullied by Zhong Liyu,—while returning to the palace and crying—all he could think about—"I want my father to rebel and kill you".

Although his father didn't dare or have the ability to rebel.

In short, Ying Xucheng only thinks that Qi Changle is just acting, hiding under her gentle and docile surface are the eerie white teeth that are quietly exposed.

Ying Xucheng's guess is indeed correct, after all, Qi Changle is not a submissive character, and she is indeed plotting against Concubine Ying in her heart.But the other party guessed wrong in one point.

That is, Qi Changle never showed her fangs openly, she just used her scheming.

Qi Changle never does anything that can be done by scheming.

The reason why she didn't act immediately at this moment was just to estimate Concubine Ying's position in Zhongli Yu's heart.

Qi Changle doesn't need a method of balance, and she doesn't need Zhong Liyu to persuade the two of them to make peace. What she needs is that someone between her and Concubine Ying must fall out of favor or be reprimanded.

This person made her disliked.

Qi Changle lowered his eyes to cover the darkness in his eyes, leaving only a soft face.

After copying, Qi Changle handed him the manuscript.

Ying Xucheng took it over and looked at it, and said "hmm" expressionlessly.

Like Qi Changle, he was also probing, so he didn't criticize immediately.

The two of them were secretly coming and going, advancing and retreating, all they were concerned about was the status of the other party in the heart of the queen, and who Zhongliyu would help if the dispute really came to the stage.

And the other person who was not helped may lose Zhong Liyu's favor and step down from the stage full of "boringness".

This is something Ying Ducheng absolutely does not want to happen.He spent so much effort to finally get a seat beside Zhong Liyu, how could he just retreat like this.

So he must be absolutely cautious.

In the Hall of Mental Cultivation, Zhong Liyu listened to the report of a famous palace official, pinched a grape with his fingers, and then laughed amusedly.

"So, how did things develop?" She raised her eyebrows and leaned on the couch, her raised eyebrows were so exquisite that it made people's hearts move.

"Qi Jieyu didn't resist, but respectfully copied it as Concubine Ying asked."

"Hmm." Zhong Liyu was not too surprised to hear this result, after all, she really couldn't imagine how Qi Changle would openly resist.

"She likes copying these things very much? Maybe Concubine Ying didn't torture her."

"Neither."

Zhong Liyu narrowed his eyes.

So still don't like it.

In fact, even if Qi Changle didn't give Concubine Ying a face, Zhong Liyu didn't care too much; after all, she didn't care about the concubines in the harem, even if Concubine Ying had brought her some fun, but compared to Qi Changle, the insignificant fun was naturally It's nothing, even if he is the son of King Shenjun.

What she cared about was, since Qi Changle didn't like it, why did he secretly endure it.

Qi Changle doesn't look like a person who is submissive either.

If it is usual...

Zhong Liyu paused, with a little force on his fingertips, he pierced the crystal grapes.

Grape juice flowed down her fingers and fell between her fingers.

The expression on Zhong Liyu's face was lowered, and his brows were slightly frowned.

If it was normal, what would Qi Changle do?

Zhong Liyu couldn't think of an answer, because she found that she didn't know either.

She seems to have never seen the other side of Changle.

Because the other party always seemed the same in front of her, gentle and submissive.Even if there was crying, it was still full of tears, soft as flowers and branches, without a trace of resentment.

This understanding is one-sided.

If it was the past, Zhong Liyu wouldn't care about these things.

Because in her eyes, those concubines are just playthings for her fun, and it has nothing to do with her whether they are one-sided or not.They just need to bring her fun, and what they can't bring, there is only a dead end waiting for them.

It stands to reason that Qi Changle should also be like this.

Zhong Liyu shouldn't think about whether the other party likes copying books or not, she just needs to wait for any quarrel or fight between the two, while she sits on top and watches with a light smile.

Originally, it should be like this.

Zhong Liyu's expression sank little by little, the grapes on her fingertips were completely crushed by her, the grape pulp shattered, and more grape juice flowed into her fingers.

The atmosphere around her was a little gloomy, and the palace servants who came to report could not help but tremble.

The atmosphere in the hall was silent, even the sound of breathing was very light.

After a long time, Zhong Liyu sneered, let go of his hand, and the grape pulp fell to the ground.

There was a cold smile on her lips, her eyes were dark and gloomy, and she looked very unswerving.

Good to see what she found.

Zhong Liyu never admitted that she was angry because of other emotions, so she quickly found the reason for her anger.

Ninth Five Lord, how could he allow other people to hide from her.

But Qi Changle just kept it a secret.

Zhong Liyu closed his eyes, then opened them, with the corners of his lips curled up—a coldness that seemed to be a smile but not a smile, and he wiped his hands slowly, his knuckles were pale, with a cold and dangerous feeling.

Just right, then she will take this opportunity to punish—Qi Changle.

Those who are disobedient will have to accept some punishment.

When she knows the pain, she will know what is right and what not to do.

Zhongliyu's smile deepened, with a twist full of hostility.

Two days later, Qi Changle began to prepare the plan.

In fact, this matter is not difficult to say, but if it is easy...it is not so easy.

The key is that Zhongliyu's eyeliner is distributed in the harem, and Yichun Palace and Youxiang Pavilion are no exception, so Zhongliyu must be aware of the fact that Concubine Ying called her away in the past two days and asked her to copy Buddhist scriptures.

Therefore, if Zhongliyu wanted to ask or take care of her, he would definitely stop her.

But she hasn't moved for two days...

Although Qi Changle said that her heart was a little heavy, accompanied by a slight depression, she quickly dispelled this emotion.

After all, she was quite prepared, knowing that the queen might make a move, so she didn't care that much.

And this incident also has an advantage, that is, she doesn't need to try her best to show the grievances she has suffered here, but only needs to put her experience on how to sue.

So...how should I file a complaint?

Are you going to cry this time too?

Qi Changle thought for a moment, and the corners of his lips curled up.

She already has an idea.

After all - people who love His Majesty, after encountering some difficulties, will always go to seek the care of the admirer after the initial patience, won't they.

Therefore, on the third day, Qi Changle prepared to go to the Hall of Mental Cultivation to meet the queen.

But this time, she was stopped outside.

The author has something to say: yesterday’s chapter (saved manuscript) was automatically published at nine o’clock when I realized it, I forgot to congratulate everyone

But today is not too late!Happy New Year everyone!

The degree of two people is different

The female gentleman is progressing very fast, but she has not yet realized that her emotions are love

Changle has touched the edge a little bit, and can vaguely feel that her emotions tend to like her, but she has such a character, precisely because she understands her emotions, so she will drop her likes and return to the original position.

In the second half, from the perspective of the female gentleman, in fact, everyone can read and understand the inner activities of the female gentleman hhhhh

I think it’s better not to write too plainly, and leave a little sense of mystery (x) (obviously I don’t know how to write it elegantly) (x)

In short, the female gentleman's mind is also very complicated, but the root cause is easier to deal with than Changle, but Changle is a bit afraid to love because of her personality, even if there is a sign, she will cut it off immediately, probably just because she doesn't like it, she won't be hurt.

And, don't be intimidated by the last sentence! ! !Impossible to abuse! !Believe me! ! (Hoarse)

This is just a necessary experience route
