Qingyan I, Huyi Tranquility GL

The days in the harem always seemed extraordinarily long, whether it was night or day.

To pass the time, Sang Qingyi began to learn how to make scented tea, and if she thought it was good, she ordered someone to send it to Qianqing Palace.

A few days ago, I sent someone to deliver a pair of tea for clearing away heat and reducing fire, which was made from honeysuckle, Kuding and calendula.

Fortunately, it was not returned. Sang Qingyi was still worried that the Helian Duan inkstone would be taken back again.

Apart from making scented tea, the most she does is reading. Fortunately, there is a rich collection of books in the palace, which is enough for Sang Qingyi to pass the time.

"Report to Empress Empress, Mrs. Household Minister, please see me"

Sang Qingyi slightly moved the scroll away, and looked up at Ruyu with some doubts.

"Mrs. Tobe Minister?"

Ru Yu smiled slightly, "Going back to the empress, it is Miss Qian Xinrui Qian".

Last year's second place, Fang Yichuan, son of Dali Temple Minister, was promoted to household servant after Helian Duanyan ascended the throne, but Sang Qingyi didn't know about this matter from the previous dynasty.

Sang Qingyi, who had always looked gloomy, showed a rare look of joy.

"Let her in"

A close friend for many years, we haven't seen each other for nearly a year, and now we meet again, it feels like a world away.

"I have seen the empress, the empress is a thousand years old"

Sang Qingyi hurriedly supported Qian Xinrui's arm first, frowned and said

"Between you and me, why should it be like this"

However, Qian Xinrui smiled slightly and said politely, "How dare Xinrui mess up the etiquette?"

Sang Qingyi closed her eyelids slightly, and only after a while did she speak again, "How could Xinrui come into the palace to see me suddenly."

Qian Xinrui sighed suddenly, "It seems that the empress doesn't want to see Xinrui, so Xinrui is leaving the palace now", as she said, she actually pretended to leave.

"Hey~", Sang Qingyi reached out and grabbed Qian Xinrui's sleeve, "You know that's not what I meant."

Qian Xinrui put her hand on the back of Sang Qingyi's, "Xinrui is deliberately teasing the empress, I know you don't mean it."

Hearing that Qian Xinrui finally called her name, Sang Qingyi couldn't help laughing from the bottom of her heart, as if everything had returned to the past.

"I was afraid that you would be bored in this palace alone, so I wanted to come into the palace to talk with you." Qian Xinrui finally said the reason.

"I thought you had forgotten me long ago, and you only remembered your husband in your heart," Sang Qingyi said as if 'complaining'.

"Ha, I haven't said anything about you yet. Ever since I married the current emperor, I'm afraid I haven't pretended to be someone else in my eyes."

Although it was only a flash, Qian Xinrui still caught the sadness and sadness in Sang Qingyi's eyes, and the doubts in his heart were even worse.

Qian Xinrui's entry into the palace this time is actually because her husband Fang Yichuan followed the emperor's order to let him enter the palace to accompany the empress, but Fang Yichuan has repeatedly urged Qian Xinrui to never be said to be the emperor's order.

Seeing Sang Qingyi's appearance now, I'm afraid that he might have some unpleasantness with the emperor.

However, Qian Xinrui didn't dare to ask, so he quickly changed the subject and chatted with Sang Qingyi about something else.

After that, Qian Xinrui would come into the palace every now and then to chat, draw or play the piano with Sang Qingyi.

In addition, Concubine Hong's Huashang entered the palace more often, playing chess with Sang Qingyi from time to time, or visiting the imperial garden.

The days seem to be much more fulfilling, and there is less time to be alone, but the loneliness in my heart is still the same.

In the midsummer afternoon, standing by the largest Ziyuan Lake in the imperial garden, looking at the sparkling lake surface, accompanied by the reflection in the lake.

When Helian Duanyan came out of Yunsheng Palace and passed by the Imperial Garden, what he saw was such a scene.

The charming fragrance of jasmine floated in the air. By the huge Ziyuan Lake, the beautiful woman leaned on the railing and lowered her eyebrows, silent, only an occasional gust of wind blew up the corner of that gorgeous and noble cuff.

Looking up, the sun is shining brightly, but the sky on that side seems to be covered by dark clouds, and there is a hint of coolness floating around.

But the most heart-piercing thing was the lonely back, as if she was the only one in this huge palace.

Helian Duanyan stopped and watched for a long time, but in the end he did not walk over, but chose to turn around and leave.

The road back to Qianqing Palace seemed extremely long, and the lonely figure of Sang Qingyi was still lingering in Helian Duanyan's mind.

"Anyway, she is already a queen, so it's wrong for me to be so cold-hearted"

That day, Yuyin suddenly said such a sentence to Helian Duanyan, without a preface or an afterword.

Helian Duanyan knew what Yuyin meant, but today, he had a deeper understanding of Yuyin's words.

Those pedantic ministers have only stopped for two days, and then they started playing the matter of drafting concubines again.

Helian Duanyan only glanced at the melody, then closed it and threw it aside, really trying to piss her off!

"Long Live Lord, the time of Hai has passed, it's time to go to bed, are you staying in Qianqing Palace tonight or?" the chief eunuch Bai Fu suddenly stepped forward and asked cautiously.

Helian Duanyan raised his head, looked at the half-burned candles, "I'll stay here and do it", but suddenly stopped in the middle of speaking, frowned and thought for a moment, "Let's go to Zhengyang Palace".

Sang Qingyi was sitting in front of the dressing table drying off the wet hair from the shower, while Ruyu was making the bed.

At this moment, a eunuch shouted suddenly from outside the hall, "The emperor is here!".

Hearing this sound, Sang Qingyi paused the hand holding the cloth towel, and turned to look at Ru Yuwen who was beside the bed.

"Just now"

Ru Yu was also a little uncertain, whether it was true, or she had heard it wrong, after all, since Sang Qingyi entered Zhengyang Palace, the emperor had never been here.

"Slaves, let's go out and have a look."

Before he ran to the door, Helian Duanyan had already walked in, and Ruyu knelt down in fright.

"See, see the emperor, long live the emperor, long live the emperor"

"get up"

Ru Yu stood up tremblingly, took a sneak peek at Sang Qingyi and then hurriedly backed out.

Helian Duanyan suddenly appeared in front of her eyes, unreal like a dream, Sang Qingyi stood up, staring at the person in front of her for so long.

"What? Does the queen not welcome me?"

The majestic words without any emotion sounded, Sang Qingyi suddenly recovered, and then saluted

"The concubine has seen the emperor"

Sang Qingyi, who was taking a bath not long ago, was only wearing a thin silk tunic, with a light blue bellyband faintly visible inside. The neckline of the tunic was opened with a large opening, and a large piece of white skin on the chest could be seen, as well as the delicate skin. Charming collarbone.

Coupled with the faint fragrance after bathing that still lingers in the air, amidst the flickering of the candlelight, I feel a little confused and fascinated.

Helian Duanyan looked away without a trace, turned and walked towards the bed, then raised his hand to untie the jade belt around his waist, but at the next moment, he felt a chill in his hand.

Helian Duanyan turned around, but saw Sang Qingyi who was close at hand.

"Let the concubine serve the emperor"

After saying that, Sang Qingyi quickly lowered her head, walked around the sides of Helian Duanyan with her hands, untied the jade belt skillfully, and then began to take off the outer robe for Helian Duanyan.

With low eyebrows and a pleasant smile, Sang Qingyi seemed to have become a real harem woman in the blink of an eye.

Helian Duanyan just looked down at her until Sang Qingyi withdrew from her arms.

Helian Duanyan didn't say anything, just lay on the outside of the bed, while Sang Qingyi lay on the inside.

There was no soft conversation, and no ear-to-eye contact, the two were as silent as two strangers lying together.

Just 'sleeping' like this for a quarter of an hour, Sang Qingyi, who was sleeping on the inside, suddenly and quietly opened his eyes, and then through the moonlight outside the window, out of the corner of his eyes, he caught a glimpse of the person lying beside him still asleep.

Gently turned sideways, looking greedily at the sleeping face of the person in front of him, the three-dimensional and sharp contour curve, the high nose bridge, and the slightly pursed thin lips, how can he be so handsome, no wonder so many women love at first sight.

Sang Qingyi just stared at it without blinking, as if she was afraid that if she blinked, the person in front of her would disappear.

Perhaps only at this moment, Sang Qingyi could look at Helian Duanyan blatantly and unscrupulously.

Although in the many days before this, they were very close, within arm's reach, but it was a dream that she would never be able to touch.

But now, she can truly see the face of the person in front of her, she no longer dodges, and she no longer feels upset.

Reaching out his hand hesitantly, but still not daring to see the face in front of her that made her miss it day and night, finally, she mustered up her courage.

When the slightly cool fingertips touched the warm face, Sang Qingyi felt as if her heart was about to jump out instantly, and even the outstretched hand couldn't help trembling slightly.

The slender fingers gently caressed the handsome eyebrows flying in memory, the straight bridge of the nose, the corners of the mouth that always wore a malicious smile, and the thin lips that used to be lingering every night.

As if wanting to engrave the faces of his subordinates into his heart and integrate them into the rest of his life, he touched them carefully and carefully, inch by inch.

What lingers in his nose is also the uniquely familiar smell of the person in front of him, and it is also the smell that Sang Qingyi has always been reluctant to part with or even obsessed with.

I miss, I miss the flying eyebrows and eyes of the person in front of me, the evil corners of the mouth, the evil thoughts, the affectionate whispers, and the fiery kiss that makes people tremble.

Sang Qingyi propped herself up slightly, as if saying goodbye, and left a cold kiss almost desperate on Helian Duanyan's warm lips.

When she realized that the tears in her eyes were about to flee in a hurry, Sang Qingyi finally left the temperature that made her nostalgic all her life, felt the despair spreading in her heart, and lay down silently back to her original position.

It wasn't until the middle of the night that Sang Qingyi gradually fell asleep.

When Sang Qingyi woke up, it was already the third quarter of the hour, and in the past, he would wake up before Mao's hour.

"My lady is awake"

Ru Yu raised the curtain and walked in, only to see Sang Qingyi sitting on the bed in a daze, looking at the other side which was empty.

It turned out to be just a dream, Sang Qingyi couldn't help but smile sadly.

"The emperor got up and went to the morning court when he was less than Mao"

Ruyu's words made Sang Qingyi a little confused, "What did you say?".

"The servant girl said that the emperor went to court early, and the servant girl saw that the empress was sleeping soundly, so she didn't wake her up."

Hearing this, the corners of Sang Qingyi's mouth curved upwards involuntarily, but she was stunned by Ruyu. Since entering the palace, she has almost never seen her young lady smile so sincerely.

Seeing that Sang Qingyi was about to get up, Ruyu hurriedly asked someone to bring in the washing water.

After washing up, Sang Qingyi sat upright in front of the dressing table, Ruyu brushing her hair behind her.

Looking at herself in the mirror, Sang Qingyi suddenly frowned slightly, then raised her hand to caress the position under the eyebrow of her right eye.

When I fell asleep last night, I seemed to vaguely feel a drop of warm liquid falling...

In the early morning of this day, Helian Duanyan suddenly issued an imperial decree, appointing Hong Yan, the son of the late Prince Qian, as the crown prince, and he will enter the East Palace from now on.As soon as the imperial decree came out, the court was in an uproar.All the ministers said one after another that this was inappropriate, and implored the emperor to take back the holy order.

But Helian Duanyan turned a deaf ear to it, and bluntly said that this matter is a foregone conclusion, don't talk about it again, and don't mention the matter of selecting a concubine, and offenders, no matter who they are, will be punished.

After that, he retreated directly, leaving the ministers of the whole court looking at each other, at a loss what to do.

Afterwards, some ministers who were not afraid of death came up to persuade him, but Helian Duanyan pretended not to see it and ignored it.

Because the crown prince is still young, a special decree was granted to allow the crown prince's mother, Princess Qian Qingyue, to accompany her into the East Palace.

In order to better educate the prince, Helian Duanyan not only designated two great scholars as the prince's teachers, but also specially asked Yuyin to teach the prince.

Helian Duanyan also had his own plans for the content of the teaching.In addition to the basic collection of classics and history, the policy of governing the country, there are also courtesy, filial piety and humility. In addition to the rhythm of riding and shooting, there are other methods of strengthening the body.

The prince gets up at Mao every day. He has to run five laps around the imperial garden first, and then do push-ups and squats.

After that, I went back to my room to take a shower, change clothes and have a meal. After breakfast, I went to the study room, where two bachelors taught me a collection of classics and history.

After lunch, take a half-hour lunch break, and then learn the rhythm of riding and shooting. The rhythm is taught by Yuyin, and the riding and shooting is taught by Li Si, the commander of the imperial army.

After dinner, Yuyin will teach the policy of governing the country and the way of dealing with the world.

After that, the prince can go back to the East Palace to take a bath and go to bed, but this Helian Duanyan also has his life, the prince needs to sleep alone, and can no longer sleep with his mother.

For a child who has just turned six years old, this is tantamount to torture.

This reading and writing is relatively better, but the daily exercise of getting up early to strengthen the body and riding and shooting martial arts often tortures the little guy to the point of tears.

On this day, after having breakfast, Li Si taught the prince martial arts, but the horse-stretching, leg-pressing, and leg-raising were the most tormenting.

After a while, Hirohiko's little face became flushed, he sat down on the ground, and then burst into tears.

Li Si reached out to support Hongyan to continue, but unexpectedly Hongyan got up and ran down the martial arts field.

"Woo, I want to find my mother"

Li Sifang wanted to dodge to stop Hongyan, but when he looked up, he found that Hongyan had bumped into Helian Duanyan's body.

"If you don't practice martial arts well, how can you cry like this?"

Helian Duanyan's voice was majestic, and Hongyan was so frightened that he didn't dare to cry anymore, but he still couldn't help sobbing.

Seeing Uncle Wang, who loved him the most before, suddenly became so severe and frightening, Hongyan's eyes were full of fear.

"Emperor, Uncle Emperor, Hongyan is looking for his mother"

"You can only go to your mother after practicing martial arts," Helian Duanyan refused expressionlessly, and then looked at Li Si, "Li Si".

Seeing Li Si walking towards him, Hong Yan couldn't help crying again.

Helian Duanyan frowned, and was about to speak when Hongyan suddenly ran past her.

"Wow, Auntie"

Hearing this, Helian Duanyan turned his head, only to see Sang Qingyi standing not far behind him.

Sang Qingyi bent down, gently wiped away the tears on Hongyan's face, and said softly

"Hongyan, remember, a man doesn't flick his tears easily, even if he wants to cry, he must bear it, so your uncle will like you very much"

Although Hong Yan seemed to understand but half understood, he really stopped crying and was signed by Sang Qingyi in front of Helian Duanyan while sobbing.

"Your Majesty, Hongyan has been studying for the past few days, and today he has studied for half a day, so let him rest for a while."

"As the future prince, how can I neglect my studies and not think about making progress"

Sang Qingyi really didn't understand Helian Duanyan's inexplicable severity and inhumanity.

"Hongyan is still young, and he needs to be taught slowly. The emperor doesn't need to be so impatient."

Helian Duanyan stared into Sang Qingyi's eyes for a moment, then turned around suddenly and left.

Yuyin was planning to go to the training ground to find Helian Duanyan, but unexpectedly she had already returned.

Seeing Helian Duanyan's expression of something wrong, Yuyin couldn't help asking

"What happened?"

Helian Duanyan didn't say a word, but walked straight into Qianqing Palace, and Yuyin turned to look at Lisi who was following behind.

When Yuyin entered the hall, Helian Duanyan was sitting on the dragon couch with her eyes closed.

Suddenly, Helian Duanyan opened his eyes, looked at Yuyin and asked

"Am I too cruel, too ruthless"

Yuyin walked forward slowly, "You mean His Royal Highness, the Empress."

Helian Duanyan only pursed his lips, but did not answer.

"For the sake of extending the world and the common people, I can only be cruel to His Highness the Crown Prince, but for the sake of the empress in the future... I can only be ruthless"

In the end, Helian Duanyan reduced Hongyan's study time to four hours a day, and stopped teaching at night.

On this day, Helian Duanyan was waiting in Qianqing Palace for Yuyin to bring His Highness the Crown Prince over to test his recent homework, but no one came back after waiting.

Just as she was about to order someone to set off in the East Palace, Yuyin happened to step into the Qianqing Palace, but she was the only one.

"Why did Yuyin come back, but let me wait, Hongyan?"

"His Royal Highness the Crown Prince is accompanying Princess Qian in the East Palace," Yuyin replied.

"Huh?" Seeing Yuyin's expression, Helian Duanyan seemed to have something wrong, "But what happened?"

Yuyin looked up at Helian Duanyan, "Princess Gan fell ill not long ago."

"How could you suddenly fall ill? The emperor's wife is seriously ill?" Helian Duanyan frowned and said, "Come with me to see the emperor's wife."

But Yuyin reached out her hand to stop Helian Duanyan, "It's better not to go there, Lord."

"Why?" Seeing Yuyin's slightly weird expression, Helian Duanyan couldn't help but said, "Yuyin!".

"The concubine didn't fall ill, but got angry," Yuyin said lightly.

He Lian Duanyan frowned, seemingly puzzled, "Who got angry? Who dared to be so bold to anger the biological mother of His Highness the Crown Prince?!".

Yuyin glanced at Helian Duanyan lightly, "If you have to say who it is, it's the master."

"Me?!", Helian Duanyan was even more confused now, "When did I get mad at her?! Please, my good Yuyin, can you speak clearly at once."

"The concubine heard some rumors today, saying that the emperor is also the lord, secretly admiring each other with the concubine, and the two conspired to kill the prince Qian, and then gave birth to His Royal Highness the crown prince through an affair..."

"There's no reason for that!" Helian Duan stood up abruptly, his face turning pale and red with anger, "Who exactly spread such absurd words?!".

Yuyin quickly hit Helian Duanyan's acupoints, "Didn't Yuyin say that the master should not be so angry, otherwise people will not keep telling the truth to the master."

Fortunately, Juechen found out about it early, and caught those who wanted to spread it in time, so it didn't spread all over the city, and only a few ministers in the court rumored about it, and Yuyin ordered someone to silence it .It's just that he never expected that Princess Qian Qingyue would hear about it.

"Yuyin already knew?!", Helian Duanyan looked at Yuyin in disbelief, "Has the person who spread the rumors been found?!".

At noon that day, Yan Liusheng, the deputy general of the Shangyang Army, was locked up in the Duke's mansion and sent to prison, waiting for the Holy Majesty's personal judgment.

Immediately afterwards, Mrs. Dingguo entered the palace non-stop, and went to Zhengyang Palace to meet the current empress.

Then, an hour later, Sang Qingyi appeared outside the main hall of Qianqing Palace.

"Concubines see the emperor"

Looking at the person His Highness was standing by, Helian Duanyan frowned unconsciously, and his eyes sank slightly.

"The Queen is here, what's the matter?"

Sang Qingyi looked up at Helian Duanyan sitting on the dragon couch, but hesitated and didn't speak.

Helian Duanyan just looked at it with deep brows and displeasure, and then suddenly called Li Si's name.

"What orders does the emperor have?"

"Pass down my will, send Yan Liusheng to death row, and execute him three days later!"

"The Minister's Order"

Li Si turned around and wanted to go out, but was stopped by Sang Qingyi.

"and many more!"

Sang Qingyi turned to look at Helian Duanyan again, "Dare to ask the emperor, what crime did Vice General Yan commit to be executed."

"Being disrespectful to me is a death penalty for disrespect," Helian Duanyan said in a calm voice.

Sang Qingyi didn't seem to believe it, she frowned slightly and said,

"Disrespectful to the emperor?"

But Helian Duanyan directly ordered Li Si to say, "Li Si, hurry up and do this."

Seeing Li Si leading the order out of the hall, Sang Qingyi knelt down in desperation.

"Please think twice, Your Majesty!"

This was the first time that Sang Qingyi knelt down to Helian Duanyan, but he never thought it was because of... Helian Duanyan's expression looked very creepy, neither jealous nor angry.

"Why should I think twice?!" Helian Duanyan said almost every word.

Although Sang Qingyi could already hear the abnormality in Helian Duanyan's tone, she couldn't care less about anything else.

"Mr. Dingguo has been loyal to the emperor for the country all his life, and has made great contributions to the court. Now he has been raised at home according to the order. He is the only son under his knees. If the emperor insists on beheading him, it will make loyal officials and generals feel cold."

Although Sang Qingyi's words were euphemistic, Helian Duanyan could hear the meaning clearly, and couldn't help but sneer.

"The empress is really thinking about me, or is she feeling sorry for that young master?"

When Helian Duanyan said these words, Sang Qingyi was really unexpected and unbelievable. Seeing Helian Duanyan's indifferent face, his eyes that were always gentle like water suddenly turned cold.

"Yes, the concubine is really distressed"
