Queen's favorite

Qi Changle paused, stopped in place, and looked at Wang Xiyi who was opposite him calmly.

Su Xi, who was originally supporting her, was taken aback for a moment, and subconsciously looked forward.

But she didn't know about Wang Xiyi and Concubine Ying, so she didn't have any other thoughts in her heart, she just thought that Wang Xiyi was worried about their master.

Just before Suxi was about to react, Qi Changle took a slight breath, withdrew his hand, and said to Suxi, "You wait outside."

Su Xi was slightly puzzled: "Master?"

Qi Changle took a step forward, looked at Wang Xiyi's face, and said softly: "Look good, Wang and I promise to talk alone."

Su Xi didn't do what he thought, but just obeyed orders. "Yes, the servant has remembered."

Qi Changle walked over step by step.

Wang Xiyi's complexion was pale, her expression was uneasy, and her corners were slightly flushed. It was obvious that she was clear about what happened in the main hall of Yichun Palace just now.

Presumably... Zhong Liyu made such a big commotion, it's impossible for Wang Xiyi not to know anything.Not to mention that she herself has people who can inquire about the news.

Therefore, the conflict between Concubine Ying and her was also spread, and Wang Xiyi should also know that Zhong Liyu broke Concubine Ying's leg because of defending her.

Qi Changle slowly clenched his fingers, but he was not as flustered as he thought.

But she suddenly felt a sense of emptiness, because she found that when she was facing Wang Xiyi, the person she had said to be her friend before, she had clearly solved the person he liked, but now when she was facing Wang Xiyi , Qi Changle found that he was not guilty.

Even, there is no wave in the bottom of my heart.

Qi Changle is very clear that Concubine Ying is not a good match for Wang Xiyi, but she is not someone who can arbitrarily reach out to interfere with her friends just because the other party is not a good match.

She also knew that Concubine Ying deliberately troubled her these few days, and did not deal with her. From her standpoint, it was only right for Qi Changle to fight back, even if it was mixed with some selfishness that could not be treated by outsiders.

But at this moment, Qi Changle discovered that she had never considered Wang Xiyi's feelings from the beginning to the end, and even when she was trying to deal with Concubine Ying, there was no sign of Wang Xiyi in her mind.

Everything she did was entirely based on her own standpoint.

Qi Changle's eyelashes were closed, her head was still in pain from the wind and cold, her face was pale, even her lips were a little pale, she walked in front of Wang Xiyi, and looked at her silently.

Qi Changle discovered that she...is still so selfish.

Think only of yourself, only of yourself.

She took a breath, "Let's go in and talk."

The expression on Wang Xiyi's face did not reveal much emotion, she pursed her lips and nodded slightly.

Before turning around, she asked hesitantly, "Is my sister not feeling well?"

Qi Changle lowered his eyes: "Fortunately, let's go in."

Seeing that she was unwilling to answer, Wang Xiyi had no choice but to bite her lower lip and give up.

After both of them went in, she ordered the servants to serve refreshments and let them go down again.Soon, only she and Qi Changle were left in the hall.

To be honest, it wasn't just Qi Changle who was upset, Wang Xiyi hadn't calmed down until now, she didn't know how to express it, let alone where to ask.

After a long silence, Wang Xiyi took a deep breath and asked the question she cared most about: "Is what happened today the sister that Concubine Ying took the initiative to bully?"

Qi Changle was startled, then raised his eyes and looked over in astonishment.

Obviously, she did not expect Wang Xiyi to ask this question.

Qi Changle's lips moved slightly: "...Yes."

She is not lying.

Wang Xiyi thought for a while, then curled the corner of her lower lip, inexplicably relieved.

"That's it." Then she paused, "Ah, I shouldn't be laughing, after all my sister was bullied just before, I should be angry."

She crossed her fingers and kneaded nervously.

"However, I don't know if my sister can understand. When I think about the way things are going, and think that Concubine Ying bullied my sister first, it is only natural for her to take revenge. I suddenly feel a sense of peace of mind. Like this, I don't have to be bullied I'm forced to make a choice, and I don't have to make Sister Changle hesitate because of my relationship."

"I really don't want to implicate my sister because of myself. So when I learned that things were so 'just' and smooth, I was a little happy."

She bent her lips and smiled, with tears in her eyes.

Then, Wang Xiyi thought of something, with a cautious expression on her face.

"But I'm a little bit, just a little bit, a little bit worried that Concubine Ying will die if her leg is broken." After she finished speaking in a low voice, as if she was afraid that Qi Changle would be angry, she hurriedly He raised his head and added: "Of course I know that it's not a pity for him to bully my sister to death! I just think, look, sometimes it's easy to die, right? So we might as well give him a chance..."

Wang Xiyi blinked, "I mean give him a punishment, let him suffer alive... okay?"

After Wang Xiyi finished speaking, Qi Changle blinked slowly and regained his senses.

To be honest, Qi Changle had calculated everything, but he did not calculate that Wang Xiyi would have such a reaction.

She ignored Wang Xiyi at the beginning... Maybe it was because she subconsciously didn't want to face the "dilemma".

But now, it seems that all the problems are gone.

Wang Xiyi directly solved everything for her.

Qi Changle's fingertips trembled slightly, with a complicated feeling that he couldn't explain clearly.

She pursed her lower lip, looked at Wang Xiyi complicatedly, and asked after hesitation, "Didn't you hate me for this?"

Wang Xiyi raised her eyes in surprise, and said subconsciously, "How could it be?!"

She quickly explained: "Let's not say that this is a matter between my sister and Concubine Ying. You two will handle it. If I really don't want Concubine Ying to suffer, I can try to intercede after I understand the matter. Instead of directly blaming my sister."

"Secondly..." Wang Xiyi paused and lowered her eyes.

"I was very close to my sister when I met her for the first time. I don't have an elder sister, so when I was young, I wondered if I could have an older sister. If I had an older sister, what would it be like?"

"After that, I met Sister Changle."

"Obviously I was the one who provoked Sister Changle first, and I was wrong, but since I have already provoked, how can I hate you for others."

"What's more, Concubine Ying's reputation is indeed not good, and he has indeed done many wrong things these years, and he should pay the price for it." Her voice dropped.

Qi Changle felt that something in her heart was touched. It was the first time she encountered such a situation, it was a little tricky, but it was also rare... warm.It was a different warmth from being held in the arms of mother.

Qi Changle smiled with bent lips, and said: "Provocation is not the way to do it."

Wang Xiyi blinked innocently.

Qi Changle pursed his lips slightly, looked at Wang Xiyi, then lowered his voice, "It's okay."

In fact, she also did something wrong.

Or rather, there are many.

The two finally talked about this matter, and naturally there was no gap between them.

And Qi Changle didn't seem to let go of his heavy burden until now.

Qi Changle said: "Currently His Majesty just asked Concubine Ying to be taken down, and he hasn't said what to do. I don't know the specific situation... It's not good to test His Majesty's tone at this time, so wait for two more days Bar."

She persuaded softly: "If possible, I will ask two imperial doctors to come over for him."

Qi Changle didn't have much dislike for Concubine Ying, or in other words, except for the Qi family and the Wang family, she seldom hated other people. If you don't advance, you will retreat. There is only one person left between her and Concubine Ying.

Concubine Ying doesn't want to let Qi Changle grow bigger and surpass his status; Qi Changle also has the same idea in her heart, she urgently wants to test it out, and at the same time wants to overwhelm Concubine Ying's position in Zhongli Yu's heart.

If two people have conflicting interests, they will naturally become enemies.

But now that the outcome has been decided, Qi Changle never cares about the loser, so it is not a big deal to find an imperial doctor for him.

Of course, Qi Changle is not careless, but after analyzing it, she thinks that it is very difficult for Ying Shucheng to make a comeback, not to mention whether he is willing and dare to return to Zhongliyu's side after going through this incident. It's hard to say.

After the conversation was over, and the knots in his heart and unformed misunderstandings were solved, Qi Changle got up in peace.

Wang Xiyi was a little worried and said, "Sister, you should take your medicine well after you go back."

Qi Changle smiled with bent eyes, "Don't worry."

Soon, Concubine Ying's disposal came down.

At this moment, Qi Changle's wind and cold hadn't even fully healed, and she was still resting in the Youxiang Pavilion. After hearing that Concubine Ying had dealt with it, she felt a little nervous.

"... Did you save his life?"

The Queen's decision was made too fast, before Qi Changle even had time to turn around, the decree had already come down. Before that, she only found an imperial doctor for Ying Xucheng.

Although he was not stopped by the female monarch, the bigger reason was that Zhong Liyu didn't care about him at all, and he didn't even care that the imperial doctor had trouble getting through.

Su Xi nodded: "I still have one life."

Only then did Qi Changle breathe a sigh of relief, and she asked softly, "What kind of treatment?"

Su Xi said: "Abandoned as a commoner, relegated to the cold palace."

Qi Changle was slightly surprised, and couldn't help asking: "Is that all?"

It's not that this kind of punishment is not severe. In fact, as the prince's son, being demoted to the rank of a commoner is an extremely serious punishment, and as a concubine, being thrown into the cold palace is equally serious.

But... that is only based on the fact that the current princes and nobles and the harem system are still sound.

If there was such a punishment in the period of the first emperor, the consequences would be very serious.

But if it was a female monarch, she didn't kill anyone, nor did she use torture, but she was very tolerant.

Su Xi said: "It's not entirely true, Your Majesty...has issued a special order."

Qi Changle looked over.

"Your Majesty said that although the harem is different from the previous dynasty, the position system remains the same, so you can do what you want."

"As for Concubine Ying... When Mr. Ying was on the throne, he bullied many concubines."

As soon as she clicked, Qi Changle understood what she meant.

Because of the special situation in the harem, everyone just saved their own lives, and no one jumped out and shot the bird out of nowhere.This has also led to the fact that those who have high or low status and intrigues are not particularly obvious.

Therefore, even if some concubines were sent to the cold palace, no one would be free to look for trouble.

After all, the most important thing is to survive by yourself, so being as quiet as a chicken is the best choice.

But now, the lady has blatantly said such a thing, doesn't that mean that anyone can step on it?

Not to mention that he bullied so many people for his own survival before, and now is the time for them to take revenge.

According to the nature of the award, nothing will be more difficult than now.

Qi Changle let out a breath and rubbed his forehead.

"So be it."

After all, he survived.

Qi Changle doesn't think this situation is so difficult, of course, she also knows that this is already difficult for Ying Xucheng.But... forgive her for being unable to empathize.

Qi Changle, who has been living in scheming since she was a child and was suppressed by her direct lineage, doesn't think there is anything she can't survive in this situation, so she doesn't want to think about Ying Xucheng either.

Anyway, there is still a life.If he is determined, he can survive.

After thinking for a while, Qi Changle said: "Don't get involved with anything else, but don't forget that the medicine prescribed by the imperial doctor must be sure to be taken by Ying Sucheng, so as not to let him die."

Su Xi nodded: "Yes."

……

What happened to Concubine Ying did not go as expected by Qi Changle, and sure enough after that, many people went to Lenggong to "visit" him.

Qi Changle has never been there before, for one thing, for an "enemy" who is not enough to hate, she has no interest in watching the tragedy of the other party, let alone this person has a relationship with Wang Xiyi, Qi Changle doesn't want to get involved anymore.

Secondly, Ying Xucheng probably hated her very much.After all, only the two of them knew the situation at that time, so Ying Shucheng knew very well that it was Qi Changle who deliberately framed him.So he hated Qi Changle, and Qi Changle didn't have the hobby of sending it to others to hate him.

The Leng Palace is located in a remote location, so the things that should be awarded did not bother her at all.

"Master, the prince is here."

Qi Changle raised his eyes, got up and walked out.

Outside, Wang's servant was standing there, with a will in his hand, and a smile on his face.

It seems that since the downfall of Ying Xucheng, the courtiers in this palace have treated her more attentively.

It seemed that they all thought that Qi Changle would be the one who made it to the end.

Regarding this, Qi Changle didn't comment on anything, she would not deliberately use this matter to win over the palace people, but she felt that there was no need to explain one by one.Therefore, they all maintain a silent and unanimous attitude towards Qi Changle.

Seeing Qi Changle come out, Wang's servant bowed forward: "I've seen Jieyu."

Qi Changle smiled gently: "Please, Eunuch Wang, I don't know why Eunuch Wang is here this time...?"

Wang's servant: "The slave is here to announce His Majesty's will."

Hearing this, Qi Changle led the palace people to bow down.

The king's servant unfolded the imperial decree.

This imperial decree was also written by Zhong Liyu himself. It did not use the canonization format drawn up by the Ministry of Internal Affairs, nor did it use those gorgeous rhetoric for praise.

"Jieyu Qi's family has won my heart very much. They are named Zhaoyi and named Jue. I admire you."

"The concubine thanked His Majesty."

Qi Changle thanked the decree in a steady voice, and slowly stood up. When he received the decree, he hadn't really recovered yet.

At this moment, she knew that she had been sealed and given a title, but she still felt unreal for a moment.

Just... give her like this?

What is the reason for this award, to comfort her?

Qi Changle lowered his eyes slowly, with complicated emotions in his heart.

She should be happy to be promoted, even with Zhong Liyu, status cannot determine everything, but...it is always good to have a high status.

This also means that she is getting closer to the position of imperial concubine.

But Qi Changle had a rare unreal feeling of worrying about gains and losses.

She was wondering if it was possible for her to follow the concubine's footsteps.

But then Qi Changle calmed himself down.

She is different from Ying Xuecheng.

Qi Changle took a breath, and then asked: "I don't know this title?"

Zhongliyu mentioned the title, but Qi Changle couldn't think of a good title, and he didn't care much about it, as long as it wasn't humiliating, so he let Zhongliyu decide.

Wang Neishi smiled and asked someone to present something and handed it to Qi Changle.

Qi Changle handed over the imperial decree to Su Xi, and then took a step forward to look over it.

I saw that there was half a piece of jade on it.

Qi Changle was slightly surprised, and looked up.

She felt that this might not just be a reward for promotion, after all, Zhongliyu would not give her half of the jade, so there should be other meanings?

Wang's servant smiled and pointed to the piece of jade: "Jue, it's two pieces of jade put together. One half is on Zhaoyi's side, it's one piece of jade, and the other half is on His Majesty's side, it's the second piece of jade."

He made a gesture of joining together, and smiled: "Only when two pieces of jade are combined into one is Jue. It is Jue Zhaoyi."

——That is to say, when she was with Zhongliyu, Qi Changle, who was endowed with new meaning by Zhongliyu, was the complete Qi Changle.

Full of Zhongli Yu's domineering, domineering, and undisguised arrogance of making Qi Changle hers.

Qi Changle took a slow breath and closed his eyes.Then he reached out and picked up the half piece of jade and put it in the palm of his hand.

She looked down at the pattern on Yu Jue.

It looks like it is carved with flowers.

The king's attendant said: "This is the pattern carved on a piece of new jade specially ordered by His Majesty. The half of Zhaoyi is a flower, and the other half of Your Majesty is a moon. The meaning—"

Qi Changle's eyes were dazed, and he said softly: "The flowers are so beautiful and the moon is full."

The flowers are full and the moon is full, and the people are long.

She felt sore in her heart, as if she had been hit by something.

Qi Changle closed his eyes and accepted Yu Jue. "Eunuch thanked His Majesty for me, I like it very much."

The king's servant smiled and said: "Ms. Zhaoyi, why should you be so polite, you are not an ordinary person now, if you want to thank His Majesty, you can thank His Majesty in person, why do you need a slave to be the messenger in the middle?"

Qi Changle lowered his eyes, a flash of emotion flashed through him.She smiled: "My father-in-law said so."

Wang's servant said again: "Speaking of which, there is one more thing."

"Your Majesty doesn't know, the day after tomorrow will be the day when your natal sister... Qi Tianxiang will get married, and His Majesty has a decree, saying that you are authorized to go back to attend the wedding ceremony, do you think?"

Qi Changle was slightly surprised, but soon came to her senses, she counted the days and found that indeed, the day when Qi Tianxiang and Wang Congyun got married was coming.

She couldn't help asking: "Your Majesty allows me to go there on purpose?"

Wang Naishi nodded with a smile.

Qi Changle lowered his eyes, "Okay, thank you father-in-law, I will discuss it with His Majesty at that time."

The king's servant didn't bother anymore, and he left with the others after receiving the reward.

After the outsiders retreated, the rest of Youxiang Pavilion couldn't help congratulating Qi Changle.

Qi Changle came back to his senses, smiled at them, and said to Su Xi: "It's a happy day after all, let's give them some rewards."

Su Xi should go down.

After dismissing the rest of the people, Suxi helped Qi Changle walk inside, looked at Qi Changle's expression, and asked softly, "What is your empress worrying about?"

Hearing the name of the empress suddenly, Qi Changle has not reacted yet.She smiled lightly: "That's not true."

In fact, she was just wondering if there was any need to see Qi Tianxiang.

If it was before, Qi Changle can say that her hatred for Qi Tianxiang has not diminished, and if there is such a chance to anger her, Qi Changle must go there.

But now, she feels that Qi Tianxiang is not that important anymore, is there any need for her to "specially" go out of the palace for her.

But... there's nothing wrong with going out once.

Speaking of which, she hasn't been out for a long time.

When I was in the mansion, I rarely had such freedom.

Su Xi hesitated and said: "Speaking of... this time the empress has become Zhaoyi, but she has not been granted a palace."

Qi Changle was slightly taken aback, "That's true, but I think His Majesty should have her consideration."

For this aspect, Qi Changle doesn't have too high requirements, after all, she only cares about pampering, and she can accept living in a smaller place, because Qi Changle can still endure hardships.

As for the palace, Qi Changle was not too worried.

Thinking about it, this is also inseparable from the renovation of the palace that Zhongliyu mentioned before.If her guess is correct, the other party may want to wait for the new palace to be repaired, and then choose a closer one for her.

Seeing that Qi Changle didn't care, Su Xi had no choice but to ignore it.

"It's just that now that there are two Zhaoyi empresses in Jinle Palace, I'm afraid there will be some inconvenience between you and Xu Zhaoyi."

Qi Changle laughed, "It's nothing."

Su Xi: "Originally Xu Zhaoyi was a high-ranking lady, and she was also the main empress. On weekdays, the empress respected her. She lived in the main hall, and the empress lived in the side hall. But now you and Xu Zhaoyi have the same status, but you have a title. Half a point taller than her, Xu Zhaoyi is afraid in his heart when he sees you..."

Qi Changle thought for a while, "She should not have such a personality."

From the moment he entered the palace, the servant who led the way seemed to have a good opinion of Xu Zhaoyi.And after getting along with each other during this period of time, she also thinks that Xu Zhaoyi is a gentle and indisputable person.

Hearing what Qi Changle said, Su Xi could only nod silently.

"However, speaking of it, His Majesty really dotes on His Majesty, even the title is so attentive."

Qi Changle paused slightly.

"Pay attention to..."

She touched Yujue, which she had taken and put in her sleeve, with her fingers, and her fingertips ran across the raised pattern on it, with complicated emotions in her heart.

She pursed her lips and said nothing more.Just squeezed Yu Jue's fingertips slightly.

The author has something to say: Yesterday... I accidentally set the draft time in the deposit box, and I made a mistake. It was 9:05, so there was a 5-minute delay (kneel down)

Actually, I'm a little surprised~ Everyone is protecting the little daughter, but no one seems to have mentioned it. It was Changle who told Wang Xiyi in the last chapter that I treat you as a good friend and you can tell me anything, but in the next chapter she will be Concubine Ji Ying Deliberately messing with him ended up causing the queen to break his leg, very selfish and ungrateful.

I am flattered to bring Changle together (//w//)
