All the way was safe and sound. After arriving at the palace gate, the maid opened the curtain and had to walk into the palace.

Xun Changqing sat on the outside, got off his horse first, stood outside the car, glanced at the imperial guards at the palace gate, and didn't intend to reach out to help Wei Lingci, since she was willing to get off the car alone, why should she be courteous.

Yuan Qingming was at the gate of the palace and happened to be leaving the palace. When he met the two of them, he looked solemnly and stepped forward. Xun Changqing spoke first, "Commander Yuan, do you think you will meet another assassin tonight?"

"I have already sent people to patrol around, and what happened yesterday will not happen again." Although Yuan Qingming was talking to Xun Changqing, his eyes fell on Wei Lingci's body and stayed on her shoulder for a moment, but the latter's expression As before, the begonia-colored gauze skirt set off her ruddy complexion, as if she was startled, not sick.

Xun Changqing tilted his head and looked at Yuan Qingming, "If the assassin doesn't give up, what should we do?"

This question was asked like a childish child, more like the meaning of a lady who doesn't go out, Yuan Qingming looked back at her and assured her again and again: "No, I pledge my life as a guarantee, this matter will not happen again, and Miss Wei His martial arts skills are good, and he will definitely keep the princess safe."

"That's right, I'm going to the palace for the banquet. The Changle Hall is heavily guarded and it's under the jurisdiction of Commander Yuan. I'm afraid nothing will happen." Xun Changqing stretched out a hand in his embroidered robe with an innocent look, and held it. Wei Lingci's wrist pointed at Yuan Qing with a smile and said: "Commander Yuan, Changqing entered the palace first."

The two slowly walked into the harem, and after Yuan Qingming's attention disappeared behind him, Xun Changqing let go of his hand, and the corner of his lips coldly pulled, "Master, you fought in Lingyang County, Yuan Qingming has heard about it for a long time, now He fought with you again, and he recognized your moves, just now seeing him staring at you, I feel that he also suspects you."

The cold wind is piercing, and the endless palace road in the palace is rarely walked because of the snowstorm coming at any time. Wei Lingci is unfamiliar with this palace road, but she is somewhat familiar with it. In her previous life, she took this road to Changle in a luan The palace, where this road leads is the envy of countless women outside, but she only has a sense of disgust.

The smooth and delicate skin on the palm suddenly disappeared, the cold wind blew nuè, her fingertips curled up slightly, avoiding some cold wind, she replied in a low voice: "Yuan Qingming's kung fu is Yuan's spear, it is an inner martial arts, solid and solid, and Ling Yun Zong's swordsmanship is different. If I really fight, I'm afraid I can't match him. He doesn't care about court affairs, concentrates on commanding the imperial guards, spends his spare time practicing martial arts, and treats people calmly. These are things that ordinary people can't learn. ."

Being in the imperial court, concentrating on practicing martial arts is impossible for ordinary people. Xun Changqing couldn't help but think of Yuan Yu, and asked, "How is Sister Ah's kung fu?"

"I don't know, I haven't seen her make any moves, but it shouldn't be bad to be able to defend the frontier as a woman."

Walking against the wind was a bit harder than usual. Wei Lingci's face was covered with a light layer of powder, and the corners of his lips were painted with lip balm to cover up the original paleness. Xun Changqing was close, smelling Seeing the faint scent of powder, I couldn't help but turn to look at her, "Are you tired?"

There were no palace people around, so she dared to ask so blatantly. Although Zijin and Xianyun followed behind, they couldn't follow after they entered Changle Palace. After all, the two of them walked the entire journey, Wei Ling. The calmer the words, the more uneasy she felt.

"It's nothing," Wei Lingci responded to her lightly, without any other words.

It's a long way from the palace gate to Changle Palace. Although a few people walked, Wei Lingci was injured, and the pace became slower and slower. After walking for a long time, she gradually slowed down, moved half a step sideways, took her hand, and said in a low voice: "Let's walk slowly, it's still early anyway."

Chapter 42 Family Dinner

On a cold winter night, the twilight was thick, the wind was stronger, and the lanterns lit by the palace servants were blown around and flickered.

Empress Shao Yun intentionally left the two of them alone, making people wait outside Changle Hall for a long time before passing them in.

After entering the palace, Shao Yun was drinking tea with her head down, with a leisurely expression, she looked up at the people entering the palace, and said with a smile: "When you entered the palace yesterday, I sent someone to invite you to Changle Palace, but you walked too far away. Soon, when the people of this palace go to Hanyuan Hall, there will be no sign of you."

This is because she entered the palace yesterday to say hello to the future. After Xun Changqing saluted, she was called up, smiled and sighed, her clear eyes were unobstructed, without any distracting thoughts, and said with a smile: "The land of the harem is forbidden to enter without an edict. Changqing I don’t dare to enter even if I want to, yesterday I thought about passing a post to enter the palace, but when I was assassinated, I slept for a long time in fear after returning home, your people came to pass on the decree, Changqing entered the palace without delay ."

Shao Yun greeted the two to sit down, and said with a smile: "I just said a word, and you explained so much. Outsiders think I'm stingy, but it's good to come back. Your mother and concubine who have been away all these years miss you." I've been talking about you a lot, I haven't received a letter from her recently, I know you're back, she's in the southwest and she'll be back soon."

Xun Changqing picked up the teacup as a gesture, flipped the lid of the tea, and said with a smile: "I haven't received a letter from my mother and concubine for a long time, and your majesty also said that my mother and concubine went to the southwest. You don't have to worry about Qing, just wait for the mother and concubine to come back in the imperial capital."

Four or two dials of gold, Xun Changqing lightly sipped a sip of tea, turned to look at the queen, smiling like a flower.

The queen's complexion changed slightly. She knew that the princess was missing, not going to the southwest. She knew, how could Xun Changqing not know, and clearly pretended to be stupid, but she couldn't expose it, so she had to follow the words: "So it is, your father and queen mother The concubine is rarely together, so this can also increase the relationship."

The relationship between the mother and concubine and the father can only be called respecting each other as a guest. Xun Changqing himself understands this. The two belong to the two countries, and they came together for the friendship of the state, and the father is not around all the year In the house, the relationship between the two is like a piece of white paper, but his birth has dyed this paper a little bit of color.

After a few false words, the queen's eyes fell on Wei Lingci, her eyes flashed with a gleam of jingle, and she said with a smile: "Miss Wei, I remember that you are the same age as Ran'er, but are you married? If you are married , I still need to make up your dowry."

These words were a bit blunt, but there was no one else in the hall, so Xun Changqing would not talk about it, but Wei Ling's Ci had to pick up the words, saying: "My grandfather died of illness to show my filial piety, and my ministers have to keep their filial piety for three years. "

The late emperor Xun Qi'an adopted Wei Xiao, the princess of Ning'an County, and his husband, Gu Liangxin, could also be regarded as Wei Xiao's father.

But about Gu Liangxin's death, the emperor handled it very secretly, so few people knew about it, and there was no reason for royal descendants to observe filial piety, but Wei Lingci said this time, whether it was perfunctory or deliberately obstructed, the empress could not refute it unreasonably.

Facing the empress's face that was getting darker, Xun Changqing looked lazy and asked with a smile: "Empress, is there anyone for the second elder brother and concubine? Are you not in a hurry to hug your grandson?"

The topic turned to Xun, and the queen's face softened a little, and she glanced at Wei Lingci, "It's settled, the daughter of the Hengguo family is very suitable for Ran'er, and she will welcome into the mansion in the first month of next year, and I'll be fine." A matter of heart."

Heng Guogong Cai Kui is the younger brother of Princess Zhaohe, that is, Yuan Qingming's wife and younger brother. Although he can't compare with the deep-rooted tree of the Shao family, but relying on Yuan Qingming's prestige these years, he is also in the imperial capital. The status is mixed up, but the position of the second prince and concubine may be elevated.

Xun Changqing and Wei Lingci looked at each other, the latter remained silent, then Xun Changqing smiled and said: "It seems that the second brother should like that woman very much, otherwise he would not greet her as a concubine. I have not been here these years Dijing, almost missed such a good thing."

This sentence was somewhat ironic, but Xun Changqing was indeed not in the imperial capital, and the empress lost her face a little. Just as she was about to speak, the palace servants came to report that Xian Guifei had arrived.

The family banquet was set at the Zhaoyang Palace, but the empress was the master of the harem, and Xun Changqing had to come to pay her respects when she entered the palace, but when the concubine Xian came, the topic changed to the harem. When dusk came, several people turned to Zhaoyang temple.

Taking advantage of the absence, Xun Changqing asked Wei Lingci, "Is the noble concubine Xian the mother of the third prince? I remember how she became a noble concubine because she was no more than a concubine."

"After the death of the second prince, His Majesty promoted her position and allowed her to assist the Queen in managing the harem. Apart from the Queen, she is the only one with the highest position in the harem. This is what His Majesty can compensate her for."
