Queen's favorite

After returning to the palace, Qi Changle got out of the carriage, instead of going back directly, he and Su Xi came to the Hall of Mental Cultivation together.

She held her breath, and seemed to fall into a kind of desolate thought along the way.Probably due to such a sudden separation from the past, Qi Changle's heart felt empty for a moment.And with that feeling of emptiness, after returning to the palace, she directly decided to come here.

In fact, Qi Changle didn't come back to his senses until he actually stood here.

She... really came here.

In fact, Qi Changle couldn't fully understand what kind of emotions drove her, but after leaving the Mansion of the Minister of Rites, as she let go of certain emotions in her heart, an inexplicable impulse drove Qi Changle, and she couldn't help it. Just thought of taking a look here.

Or simply look at the gate and plaque of the Hall of Mental Cultivation.

Or, just want to take a look at that person.

This kind of emotion is very strange to Qi Changle, she has not felt such impulsive and intimate emotions to outsiders for a long time.

It was like when she was bullied outside when she was young, she couldn't wait to go back to their small courtyard and return to her mother's arms.

But Zhong Liyu is not someone to her, let alone her mother.

And she wasn't bullied.

Qi Changle clenched her fingertips tightly, raised her arm and put it on her heart, the emotion in her eyes was slightly confused.

Su Xi saw that she was about to reach the entrance of the Hall of Mental Cultivation, but Qi Changle's pace was getting slower and slower, and she raised her head to look a little offended, only to see her lowered eyes with an unclear expression, and couldn't help calling out worriedly: "Your Majesty?"

Qi Changle's eyelashes trembled slightly, and he came back to his senses.

She breathed a sigh of relief and shook her head slightly: "It's nothing."

... Anyway, it's already here, so let's go and have a look.

Qi Changle took a breath, pressed all kinds of thoughts into the bottom of his heart, and then resumed his original pace.

When he came to the Hall of Mental Cultivation, Su Xi stayed at the door and respectfully sent Qi Changle in.

The aromatherapy in the room was replaced by ordinary floral fragrance again, it was no longer the smell she had smelled before, presumably Zhongliyu no longer had a headache.

Although Qi Changle knew that she might have gained a lot of status in Zhongli Yu's heart by virtue of her massage skills, but now slowly, she really didn't want to see Zhongli Yu have a headache.

... It's not distressed, it's just that I don't think it's necessary.

Anyway, she can survive well just by relying on her own scheming.

Qi Changle walked slowly inside, raised the bead curtain, and saw Zhong Liyu sitting on a chair with downcast eyes reading a book.

The face of the other party was reflected in her eyes, as if with a hazy halo.

Qi Changle's eyelashes trembled slightly, he stopped and stood there looking at Zhongliyu.

She was wearing a golden dragon robe that had not been taken off yet, with black hair and snow skin, her drooping eyebrows and eyes outlined a gorgeous and charming arc, and her red lips were carelessly hooked, adding a bit of color to her face.

Like a character in a painting.

Qi Changle's heart skipped a beat, and then a warm current rushed out that caught her off guard.

She paused for breath, her fingertips trembling slightly.

Qi Changle stood on the spot and closed his eyes, tightly pinching his fingertips.

She had to admit that the moment she saw Zhong Liyu just now, apart from being bewitched by her face again, she also had a feeling of being warmed.

The inexplicable and abrupt appearance of this emotion made Qi Changle unable to react, and even unable to think about the reason behind it.

But it was the first time she felt this emotion from someone else.

Hearing the sound of the bead curtain shaking, Zhong Liyu raised his eyes and saw Qi Changle standing there, never approaching, raising his eyebrows slightly, with a smile on his delicate face, making her look extraordinarily alluring.

"Why stand there but not come over?"

Meeting the other party's dark eyes, Qi Changle came back to her senses, subconsciously lowered her eyes to cover up her emotions, and then smiled softly as if to cover up: "It's nothing, I just saw that His Majesty is reading a book attentively, and my concubines dare not disturb you. "

Zhong Liyu sneered indifferently: "The Hall of Mental Cultivation allows you to come in without notification, so I still care about this?"

Qi Changle's heart ached, and the feeling of surging heat just now reappeared.

... It's strange, what's going on here.

She pinched her fingertips hard, and regained her senses without a trace.

Qi Changle bent his lips and smiled softly: "Your Majesty loves my concubines, but concubines cannot be pampered."

It was as if the word "be pampered and spoiled" delighted Zhong Liyu, and the other party's dark eyes showed little smiles, she burst out laughing, threw the book on the table, then leaned back, raised her eyebrows slightly and looked at Qi Changle : "Well, being spoiled makes you spoiled, so, will you?"

Qi Changle paused, pursed her lips, and did not directly answer Zhongliyu's question - if it was the past, she might have said "no", and then she would take the opportunity to express her love again.

But today, for some reason, Qi Changle suddenly didn't want to answer those lies.

She wants, wants to know a whole new answer.

She pursed her red lips, approached Zhong Liyu slowly, and stopped in front of him. Although she was standing and looking over, her bright peach eyes were full of mist and pitiful pleading.

"If you are a concubine...how about it?"

She put her hands on the opposite side of the table, leaned slightly, and approached Zhong Liyu, her posture seemed to be approaching, but her eyebrows and eyes were even more touching.

"If the concubine really has a day when he is pampered and pampered, will His Majesty dislike concubines?"

There was a layer of tears in Qi Changle's eyes, like the mist before the sunrise.

Her lips parted slightly.

"Will Your Majesty hate courtiers and concubines? Abandoning them is like discarding...a flower."

Zhong Liyu looked into her eyes, originally wanted to smile and ask something, but after falling into the galaxy, he lost his voice.

Zhong Liyu's face did not change, but his eyes deepened.

She took a breath without any trace, and clenched the hand that was easily resting on her lap.

Perhaps this is not a question that can be easily perfunctory.

Zhong Liyu suddenly had a feeling in his heart... called cherishing.

It's strange and novel.

She suddenly smiled lightly.

This is the first time she has such emotions.

Originally, Zhong Liyu had never had such emotions towards "outsiders".

It is true, after all, they are just playthings in her eyes and heart.

Oh, and some are not even playthings.

In these years, apart from the sporadic to a few relatives that she cared about, the only one who had nothing to do with Zhongli Yuben, but still made her feel cherished.

Probably only Qi Changle.

Her eyes softened.

Zhong Liyu got up slowly, took a step forward and approached the table, and at the same time approached Qi Changle.

There was a smile in her eyes, and a touch of indulgence and pampering that perhaps she herself hadn't noticed.

Zhong Liyu hooked his fingers at her.

Qi Changle was slightly taken aback.

"His Majesty?"

The next moment, she was hooked around the neck by the queen in front of her.

The sudden loss of balance caused Qi Changle's hands to leave the table, but before she fell weightlessly, the person in front of her grabbed her arm and quickly placed it on her body.

Qi Changle was at a loss and was hugged by Zhong Liyu into his arms.

There is a table case and the memorial books on the table case.

The next moment, a soft kiss came suddenly.

Qi Changle opened her eyes wide in astonishment, but before she could adjust her breathing, Zhongliyu let her go.

Probably this is the first time Zhongliyu has touched her briefly since the two of them got intimate.

Qi Changle dazedly touched his lips with his fingertips.

At this time, what answer does Zhong Liyu's action represent?She, how should she deal with it?

Qi Changle's mind was rarely blank.

Zhong Liyu smiled and said, "How?"

Qi Changle blinked.

Zhong Liyu pressed her lower lip with his fingers, and there was undisguised ease, joy and charm in his smile.

"Chang Le, do you know that I have never been close to other people."

She turned her head to the side, and told the other party this point indifferently.

Zhongli Yu's eyes were cold, with a slight sneer: "After all, those people all have ugly faces. I hate them when I see them, let alone touch them."

"Even if there are some, it may bring me a point or two of fun, but it's not enough to make me pity or even look sideways."

"Touching them makes me sick. Or disdainful."

Saying this, Zhong Liyu's fingertips lightly brushed across Qi Changle's face.

"But you are different."

Zhong Liyu calmed down and looked at her with a little warmth.

"Changle, you are different from them."

Qi Changle's fingertips trembled violently.

Zhong Liyu approached, hooked Qi Changle's back of the neck and made her lean towards him, chuckled lightly, interlaced with her breathing.

"Chang Le, why don't you understand, fundamentally, you are different from other people."

She breathed like blue, and touched Qi Changle's earlobe.Seeing the white jade-like earlobe dyed red, Zhong Liyu rolled his eyes.

"So, be pampered?"

"Then you can be coquettish. I will accept them all."

There was a nonchalant smile in Zhongli Yu's eyes.

"Let's show it to me."

Qi Changle opened his eyes wide in astonishment, his cheeks became hot.

She pinched her own palm, calmed down her sudden rapid heartbeat, and pinched herself hard.

...Don't jump around.

At the same time, besides being caught off guard by embarrassment, Qi Changle's eyes suddenly became hot.

Don't jump around.

In order to conceal the changes in his emotions, Qi Changle took a breath, blinked his eyes, and then suppressed the astringent emotions.

Her throat moved slightly, and she said after a while: "...Your Majesty's words are so nice, but if there is such a day, I'm afraid—"

Zhong Liyu tilted his head, and put his index finger on her lips, stopping her from speaking.

Zhong Liyu chuckled, with a little sarcasm, "Changle, don't look at me like that. I'm not such a person."

"Since I admit your existence by my side, I will not let you go."

Zhongliyu's smile deepened, "Even if you die, you can only die by my side."

"But don't worry, maybe I might die beside you."

She didn't care about what she said, she didn't even care, it wasn't because she was indifferent to her own life, but because Zhong Liyu already understood the poison in her body.

I'm afraid no one can cure it.Otherwise, it wouldn't be a headache that bothered her for so long.

But Zhongli Yu is not sad, not even sad, because she is enough.

She has done all the things, avenged her revenge, and killed all those who disliked her. It is enough for her to act recklessly and tyrannically.

Hearing Zhong Liyu's last words, Qi Changle's heart trembled violently, shaking off all the feeling of emptiness in her heart just now because of Zhong Liyu's words "You are different", leaving only the unwarranted feelings of the newborn. panic.

Qi Changle opened his lips slightly, "But Your Majesty's Ninth Five-Year Honor, known as Long Live, will definitely live to Long Live."

Mentioning this topic made Zhongliyu laugh out loud.

She couldn't help stretching out her hand to pinch Qi Changle's face, "Changle, I didn't expect you to have such a naive day."

"The so-called long live is just that the emperor wants to hear something nice for himself."

"I always feel that if you listen to it like this, maybe there will be a long live one day."

She withdrew her hand, shrugged her shoulders, and didn't care.

"As for me, I don't care or like it."

What's the use of hooray.

If there is a sound of misery and loneliness, or coldness and loneliness, it is better to go down earlier.

What's more, she is not expected.

I don't know how many people below are cursing her all day long, and can't wait to hope that Zhong Liyu will die soon.

Before Zhongliyu didn't want to fulfill their wish, but she was afraid that her old poison would relapse one day, if she really walked ahead of them, it would be really wrong.

So while he was still healthy, Zhong Liyu was consuming them little by little.

Until there is no one you hate in front of you.Perhaps by then, she would be happy too.

Qi Changle didn't like her saying such things very much.

She lowered her eyes, then leaned over and hugged Zhong Liyu, and threw herself into her arms.

Although it feels uncomfortable across the table, Qi Changle can't care about it at this moment.

Her eyelashes trembled, and she couldn't tell what emotion was in her heart.

"Your Majesty can."

Qi Changle said softly.

She didn't do it for anything, but, if Zhong Liyu died early, then she would have no strength to rely on.

Qi Changle said in his heart.

Zhong Liyu let her hold her, with a smile on his lips, and reached out to stroke her long hair.

Then, she changed the topic: "Tell me, why did you suddenly come to my side after you came back from there?"

Qi Changle paused slightly, with a muffled voice: "Can't the concubine come here because she misses His Majesty?"

Zhong Liyu laughed: "Yes."

She narrowed her eyes happily, "Of course."

"Changle, just put me first forever."

She let the other party's long hair slip from her fingertips, feeling at ease.

……

After Qi Changle left, Zhong Liyu sat back and remembered what order he had just given.

She thought for a while and called someone out.

"Change your will." Because of being delighted just now, Zhong Liyu's mood improved a lot, and even his temper became milder.

At this moment she wanted to "show mercy".

Zhong Liyu smiled and said: "Go and send his family out, don't dirty my eyes in the capital."

Who does this "he" refer to, needless to say.

The man paused: "I just don't know if His Majesty has any suitable candidates..."

Zhong Liyu picked out a pamphlet, then threw it over without even looking at it, "Go let this person take office, Zhong Yi read it before, and he is pretty good at it."

"Yes."

When there was no one around, Zhong Liyu lowered his eyes and put his fingers on his forehead, wondering what he was thinking.

After Qi Changle brought Su Xi back to the palace, she asked her not to wait on him, and sat down for a while.

After Su Xi withdrew, Qi Changle distracted some thoughts.

Today, Zhong Liyu mentioned... "You are different".

Qi Changle thought that the other people mentioned by the other party had ugly faces.At that moment, she couldn't help but trembled uncontrollably.

Because Qi Changle himself also has an ugly face.

She deliberately tried to get close to the queen, for her own survival and for her power.

She schemed against the female monarch, so she left an image of infatuation and sincerity to the other party.

But in fact, Qi Changle is no different from others.

Even... She is much uglier than them.

Thinking of this, Qi Changle couldn't help taking a deep breath.

She closed her eyes and pursed her lower lip.

If one day, she reveals her true colors in front of the queen, will the other party be furious and want to punish her?

Will she still love her so much?

The answer is probably "no".

After all, Zhong Liyu's character is one-sided, and he hates others to deceive and conceal things the most. If Qi Changle is exposed, I am afraid that everything she has now will disappear.

Maybe, it will provoke mad revenge from the female monarch.

Maybe not even the whole body.

Qi Changle couldn't help but smiled wryly, but she couldn't regret it, after all, she chose the path herself.

Moreover, apart from this road, other roads are impassable, and she can't go there either.

He has used this method to make a living since he was a child, how could Qi Changle give up so easily now.

She smiled shyly.

It's just that in the future... she will do her best to hide her "true face".

At least, at least now, she doesn't want to lose such intimacy and love.

……

Qi Changle learned that the Shangshu family of the Ministry of Rites was dispatched to Nanling in the future.But she wasn't too surprised.

One is that the other party has Qi Tianxiang in his family, and the other is that the female monarch doesn't seem to like Wang Congyun. Qi Changle is not surprised to have such a will, coupled with the other party's reputation as a tyrant.

But now when she heard the news, she was not particularly moved.

Probably after bullying Qi Tianxiang with her own hands that day, it seemed that Qi Changle's heart knot had been untied. Although it would not be able to make her reconcile with the past, her desire for revenge was not so serious.

Probably because I am standing tall now, so I feel that the Qi family is terrifyingly short.

Instead, her resentment disappeared a lot.

Of course, the most important thing is that their family is already being punished, so Qi Changle is not unbalanced.

She smiled, and said casually: "Then prepare some gifts for my sister, and wish her a smooth journey."

Wang Xiyi, who came to chat with her, couldn't help laughing when she heard this, "Sister is really... Then if that's the case, why don't you give her some rouge powder?"

Wang Xiyi's idea was bad.

After being allotted, all gold, silver jewelry, jewels and treasures will be confiscated, and money can't be hidden. It can be said that she is really poor and white. In addition, Qi Tianxiang is still restrained by the ban of "only one meal a day". It's not much better.

What they need most at the moment is money and food.

But Wang Xiyi proposed to send rouge and gouache, which is very ironic when paired with Qi Tianxiang's situation and disfigured face.

It's not surprising that he was mad.

Qi Changle bent his lips, and his smile deepened.

Then, Qi Changle thought that Wang Xiyi had been going to Yingshoucheng for a few days, so he paused and asked, "You and Concubine Ying..."

Knowing what she wanted to ask, Wang Xiyi's face paused slightly, with some sadness. "He's in bad shape."

Qi Changle has heard of it, after all, the imperial doctor will also report some news to her.

A leg injury should be treated properly, let alone a fracture.

The imperial doctor has tried his best to help him, but Ying Shoucheng's mood is not swaying, and it won't be too soon to think about it.

In addition, there are other people's "visiting".

Qi Changle's eyes narrowed slightly, "Then what are you going to do?"

Wang Xiyi pursed her lips, and shook her head, "It's good to have the imperial doctor help him see a doctor now. Other problems are more of his own problems, so he has to take his time."

"Also, I, I want to ask my sister to borrow a little... the right to go to the imperial dining room and cook for myself."

Qi Changle raised his eyebrows in surprise, "Huh?"

Wang Xiyi said: "He couldn't eat well or dress well in the cold palace, and he used to live such a dignified life. Now that he has suddenly fallen to this point, he must feel uncomfortable, so I think..."

Qi Changle understood.

This is not difficult.

But she just didn't know one thing.

Qi Changle raised his eyebrows slightly, "When he bullied you like that, you still had a good impression of him? I thought you would be dissatisfied."

Wang Xiyi lowered her eyes, "In the beginning, there were indeed some."

"But later, he didn't go too far. I felt that he was different from the vicious person I imagined or made up in my brain. Maybe it was the subversion of the image that made me have a good impression of him, or maybe, It's his handsome appearance that makes me less critical of him."

"In the end, that's it."

Qi Changle paused suddenly, thoughtful.

She lowered her eyes, "You are because he used to be vicious, but later he was friendly, breaking the initial impression and giving him a new liking."

If... at first, you are delicate and sincere, but later you are scheming, then——

"elder sister?"

Qi Changle came back to his senses, and smiled at her with bent lips: "Of course, you just go."

Only then did Wang Xiyi breathe a sigh of relief, and she said cautiously, "I thought my sister was unwilling."

Qi Changle couldn't help laughing: "It's just to help you borrow the imperial dining room. I have done it myself, why not?"

Wang Xiyi lowered her eyes and pulled her fingers, "Because he bullied my sister, but I want, I want to befriend him."

"It's nothing." There was nothing at all.

Ying Xucheng is not the kind of person that Qi Changle hates.

She didn't go any further, but smiled and changed the subject, "But if you go like this, he may not be in favor of you."

Wang Xiyi sighed, "That's true, he really doesn't appreciate it."

She had a troubled look on her face, but she wasn't too frustrated.

"I think maybe he doesn't believe me yet, but it doesn't matter, time will tell people's hearts."

Qi Changle moved his fingertips slightly, and his eyes stopped somewhere.

Over time, see people's hearts.

If, if this heart is not sincere at first, it contains impurities.But then it becomes possible to have all the sincerity, okay?

The author has something to say: If there is a turning point in favorability

Changle’s turning point 1 is the last chapter (there was a faint turning point in the front, but she was pushed back by herself, but she didn’t push it back this time, and she took the initiative to come to the Hall of Mental Cultivation to prove it)

There is also this pampering, because Changle has never had such an experience before and dare not have such an experience, so it is the first time she encounters such a love story, even if she has a guilty conscience (that is, her character design is played), but still moved

But she herself doesn't quite know that she is being moved now

(I was so moved that I was about to commit myself to it x)

Then give an inappropriate example. In this chapter, Changle is probably the most direct and least resistant contact with the favor of the female monarch. She is like someone who has never eaten candy (after all, the previous conditions did not allow it) and holds candy.
