Queen's favorite

Zhong Liyu paused, hugged her tightly, and murmured those two words softly.

"fate."

The smile on the corners of Qi Changle's lips deepened, she looked at Zhong Liyu with tenderness in her eyes.

"Isn't that the case? Apart from fate, the concubine can't think of any other explanation. As His Majesty said, there are too many contingencies, but even so, there is only one possibility."

She held Zhong Liyu's cheek and pressed her forehead against her.

"That means His Majesty is sitting on the throne, and the concubines also entered the palace as they wished, and met His Majesty."

"The so-called love at first sight, one eye for ten thousand years, that's it."

Zhong Liyu lowered his eyelashes slowly, and smiled after a while, "You can talk, are you trying to make me happy?"

Qi Changle asked back: "Is what the concubine said to make people happy, or the truth, can't your majesty hear it?"

Of course you can hear it.

It is precisely because it can be heard that Zhongli Yu's heart is touched a lot.

She never thought before that someone like her would be liked and admired by others, just like Zhong Liyu never needed.

But when such things were delivered to her, Zhong Liyu realized that it wasn't that she didn't need or didn't like it, but that she didn't meet the right one.

Now that it happened, she couldn't let go.

If other people's so-called liking is hypocritical, Zhong Liyu will naturally be disgusted and disgusted.But if it was brought to her by Qi Changle...

Zhong Liyu held Qi Changle in his arms, his eyes were dark.

Qi Changle said again: "I can learn from the world that my concubine loves your majesty, so there is no need for your majesty to doubt my concubine. On the contrary..." She bit her lip, and there was a faint light in her eyes.

"The concubine wants to know how His Majesty treats concubines? Does Your Majesty not like concubines that much?" Her eyelashes trembled slightly, as if she was very fragile.

"Otherwise, why would I push my concubines away again and again."

"I didn't push you away." Zhong Liyu subconsciously said, she paused, and added, "Of course I am, too..."

Does she also like Qi Changle?

Zhong Liyu has never liked anyone before, and he has no way to compare whether such a liking is what Qi Changle wants.

But what she can be sure of is that her feelings for Qi Changle are different, special, and never shown to other people.

Qi Changle was the first person who made her feel this way.

And Zhong Liyu only had many other emotions after getting along with Qi Changle.

Such as caring, pampering and jealousy.

These were emotions she had never experienced before.

Zhong Liyu doesn't know if this is liking, because she has never liked anyone, but she also knows that if she likes it, it should be like Qi Changle.

With tenderness and warmth, instead of like myself, my heart is full of dark and obscure thoughts.

But...it doesn't matter whether you like it or not, anyway, it is impossible for Zhong Liyu to let go of Qi Changle.

Hearing Zhong Liyu's words, Qi Changle's eyes moved slightly, and then she asked: "In this case, why does His Majesty never let ministers and concubines sleep?"

There seemed to be tears in her eyes.

"If they like each other, then the desire to get close should be the same. This is the case with concubines, but it seems not so, Your Majesty."

Zhong Liyu opened his lips, for the first time he didn't know how to explain it.

There was some haze in her eyes, and she clenched her fingers tightly.

To explain this, it is necessary to talk about the darkness in her heart and those disgusting experiences, what's more, she has to explain her dirty and ugly life experience, which is something Zhong Liyu absolutely does not want to do.

She was very repulsive, even more unwilling, to see Qi Changle's reaction after hearing these things.

If Qi Changle showed disgust and resentment... then Zhongliyu would not be able to accept it.

She closed her eyes, "I don't dislike you."

She really wanted to get close to Qi Changle, otherwise, she would not allow him to approach her again and again, and kiss her like this.

If it were someone else, the grass on the grave would be several meters high.

Qi Changle asked: "Then why does Your Majesty..."

Zhongli Yu suddenly covered her lips with his hand, blocking Qi Changle's question.She stared into Qi Changle's eyes, paused for a moment and said, "Give me some more time, Changle."

There was a dark look in Zhongliyu's eyes, his expression was obscure, but there was no anger or hostility.

"Wait for me again."

She pursed her lips and frowned slightly.

Qi Changle's heart skipped a beat, looking at Zhong Liyu, he suddenly didn't know what to say.

This was the first time she saw Zhong Liyu's expression like this, and it was also the first time she got Zhong Liyu's almost compromising attitude, but to be honest, it didn't make Qi Changle happy.

Because what she is asking for is mutual consent, not compromise.

If the bedroom she wanted was obtained through a compromise between her request and Zhongliyu, then what's the point.

Of course, that's not to say there aren't any downsides.

The good thing is that Zhong Liyu said frankly for the first time, give her some more time.

So there really are some scruples on the opponent.

Qi Changle lowered his eyes, thoughtful.

After a while, she raised her eyes and said softly, "Okay."

Qi Changle looked at Zhongliyu, but didn't force it. "Although the concubine doesn't know what embarrassing things His Majesty has to say, but if this matter is something His Majesty doesn't want to talk about, then the concubine will naturally respect His Majesty."

"But what I hope His Majesty can know is that no matter what happens, my concubine will always be on your side from the beginning to the end."

She took Zhong Liyu's hand, lowered her head and kissed him on the arm.

Warm lips meet cool skin.

Qi Changle smiled softly, "No matter what difficulties, my concubine hopes to face it with His Majesty. Everything is the same."

"So Your Majesty, don't bear too much alone, okay?"

Zhong Li's throat moved slightly, and he responded softly: "...OK."

When Qi Changle came out, Su Xi looked up at her expression, she was cautious and didn't ask anything at that time, and after the two of them walked away, she asked cautiously: "Your Majesty's gift this time...?"

Qi Changle shook his head slightly.

Su Xi naturally knew what Qi Changle wanted, and seeing that the other party failed to get what he wanted, she was actually disappointed and anxious for Qi Changle.

But no matter what, Su Xi couldn't let this emotion show and affect Qi Changle.

She just persuaded: "Your Majesty, don't worry, maybe there is some reason. But according to this servant, His Majesty still likes you the most. After all, there is no other person in the harem who can be so close to His Majesty except for Your Majesty." .”

Qi Changle lowered his eyes and smiled, "Okay, there's no need to comfort me like this, don't worry, I know everything in my heart."

Her eyes swept across the beautiful scenery in the palace, but she was thinking about other things in her heart.

Generally speaking, there are only a few reasons for loathing contact with people and not wanting to sleep with concubines.

Although it's not appropriate to think about Zhong Liyu like this, Qi Changle couldn't help but think about this matter.

After all, considering how filthy the royal family is, if something really happened to Zhong Liyu...it's not impossible.

But again, it's tricky.

After all, according to Zhong Liyu's character, if she had been... done by someone, this incident must be a thorn in her heart, and she couldn't even mention it, even Qi Changle didn't have such confidence.

But this also means that she cannot have a heart-to-heart talk with Zhong Liyu.

Not only did he lose an opportunity to aggravate his position in the other party's heart, but he also lost the way to understand the other party and help the other party to come out.

But what should she do.

Qi Changle was a little lost.

She glanced at Suxi next to her, and asked, "Suxi, you said that if a person is afraid of heights or the dark, how can he overcome it?"

Su Xi was puzzled at first: "If you are afraid of heights, try to avoid going to high places, or bring a few more people together to strengthen your courage. If you are afraid of the dark, can you leave an extra lamp to sleep at night?"

Qi Changle shook his head: "What if you can't? If you can only overcome it with your own strength, how should you do it?"

Su Xi thought for a while: "From my maidservant's point of view, you can probably adapt slowly, right? For example, climb up one step today and two steps the next day. After a long time, you may be able to overcome your fear of heights."

Hearing her words, Qi Changle curled his lips and said softly: "What you said is also feasible."

Today it only reaches the neck, tomorrow it reaches the collarbone, and day after day, month after month, it will be overcome one day.

Qi Changle bent his eyes, finally feeling better.

Of course, Qi Changle was just worried about why Zhong Liyu did this, but he wasn't overly curious.If the other party doesn't want her to know, then Qi Changle will naturally not go too far to investigate.

Therefore, she stopped exploring and concentrated on helping Zhongliyu overcome this difficulty.

As for this opportunity to have a heart-to-heart conversation that I missed... just miss it.

If the two have a deep relationship in the future, there will always be other opportunities.

The Mid-Autumn Festival is a big festival for the whole palace to be happy and the whole family to reunite, so every year the palace will hold a palace banquet and invite all the officials.

As for whether these ministers want to be invited or not, that is out of Zhongliyu's consideration.

On this day, Qi Changle dressed up beautifully as usual, and then prepared to go to the palace banquet.

The last time at this kind of palace banquet, she also met Qi Tianxiang and Wang's. At that time, Qi Tianxiang thought she could give her a backstab by relying on Wang Congyun's incident, but she didn't want to be easily resolved by Qi Changle, and fell into a swamp instead.

Qi Changle doesn't miss this stupid thing at all.

However, she somewhat misses the "fun" that Qi Tianxiang brought her.It's a pity that Qi Tianxiang is destined not to be able to come this year.

Several months have passed in the blink of an eye, and when Qi Changle looks back on the past, there is always an illusion of a world gone by.

In the past, she was too cautious and thoughtful, so that she had to think twice in her heart about everything.

And now... maybe, she doesn't need to be so careful, let alone use a lot of scheming.

Because at the moment behind her, there is Zhong Liyu.

At the last palace banquet, Qi Changle was just a nobleman, but now, she has become Zhaoyi, who is in the limelight.

Qi Changle was sitting on the seat, because of her status, she and Wang Xiyi were already a little far away at this time, but the other party was still very happy when seeing Qi Changle.

Qi Changle also smiled and nodded to her, then sat in his seat.

She looked around and her eyes fell on Xu Zhaoyi.

Different from the well-regulated dress last time, Xu Zhaoyi dressed up this time with great care and care.

Qi Changle lowered his eyes, concealing his little interest.

When there is no crisis, she doesn't mind other people competing for favor with her, after all...they can't succeed, right?

Qi Changle naturally watched the play happily.

Then, she moved her gaze upwards, and looked at the position of the imperial concubine sitting above.

Although there is no queen in the harem, the imperial concubine is respected, so on such a day, he can sit on top with Zhong Liyu.

Saying I don't mind...is impossible.

But now Qi Changle can already clearly distinguish his emotions.

She didn't mind that the imperial concubine was honored, nor did she care that he could sit at the top.

What Qi Changle cares about is that the imperial concubine can sit on the side with Zhong Liyu.

The two of them sat side by side like a husband and wife.

This is what Qi Changle cares about the most.

But now she can't meet that standard.Therefore, no matter how unhappy he was, Qi Changle could only swallow it.

But this will not be the result.

One day, she will sit in the position of the imperial concubine at this moment and replace her.

In less than a moment, Zhong Liyu arrived.

All the people present knelt down to salute, and then Zhong Liyu walked among them and sat at the top.

She lazily leaned against the back, and then said: "Get up."

After Qi Changle got up, he looked upwards, right into Zhongliyu's eyes.

The other party just stared at Qi Changle as if no one was looking at it, and no one was paying attention, and his eyes only stayed for her.

She is wearing a dark red dress today, which makes her skin fairer, her eyebrows are picturesque, and her pupils are dark.

A smile bloomed on the corner of Qi Changle's lips, and there was a gleam in his eyes.

"What are the arrangements for today's palace banquet?" Zhong Liyu asked the noble concubine with his head turned sideways.

Su Mu said softly: "Some ordinary performances, singing and dancing, and..." He looked down, "The performances of the ministers and their children."

As soon as this sentence came out, the faces of all the ministers turned green.Although they had been notified of this matter before, no matter how unwilling they were, they could only agree, but when they heard the order again, they still couldn't help but have a heart attack.

It's really, really outrageous.

But they can't express dissatisfaction yet.

Qi Changle couldn't help being taken aback when she heard this program, because she hadn't received any news or rumors before, maybe it was because she had just returned from the hunting ground and was still thinking about presenting gifts, so she naturally paid less attention to the outside world Some.

Speaking of which, Wang Xiyi wanted to share something with her...but was ignored by Qi Changle at the time.

Thinking of this, she couldn't help but look at Zhong Liyu who was sitting above, but the other party didn't look over, from Qi Changle's angle, she could only see the other side's face.

She couldn't help pinching her fingertips, restraining her desire to question and get angry, took a deep breath, and closed her eyes.

Calm down, it's nothing.

She should know that Zhong Liyu is not interested in those people, no matter whether they are old-fashioned or not, whether they are concubine or not, whether they are beautiful or not, Zhong Liyu will not be tempted by them.

So this performance should be just to tease the minister.

...Although she knew it all in her heart, Qi Changle still felt some sourness and an indelible heaviness.

She doesn't like it.

Also uncomfortable.

But Qi Changle has no position to stop it.

Soon, the performers lined up and got ready to go on stage one by one, one by one according to the level of their father's official position, just like they did in the draft.

Qi Changle lowered his eyes, looking indifferently at Yingyingyanyan in the middle.

They were beautifully dressed, but their expressions were unavoidably terrified.After all, I have never had any contact with the rumored tyrant, and the first contact was to perform on stage, so it was inevitable to panic.In such a mood, even the most beautiful colors are eclipsed.

But Qi Changle was still unhappy.

Xu Zhaoyi is the same thing, after all, she initiated it on her own initiative, and Qi Changle also knows that it is difficult for the other party to be favored.

But the children of these ministers are another matter, because it was Zhong Liyu who took the initiative to order them to come.

Qi Changle's eyes were cold and deep, like a secluded well without the slightest ripple.

Then, her gaze was slightly wrong, and she inadvertently saw Xu Zhaoyi on the opposite side.The other party looked at her and slowly revealed a different smile.

Almost instantly, Qi Changle understood what she meant.

She gave a low laugh.

No wonder Zhongliyu suddenly had this idea, it seems that someone handed the raft.

And who that person is, presumably it is not difficult to see at this moment.

well.

She controlled the smile on the corners of her lips, but the darkness under her eyes got a little bit darker.

Xu Zhaoyi provoked her.

Qi Changle doesn't care if the other party competes for favor.

But when she used this trick, she touched Qi Changle's bottom line.

Qi Changle's pupils were deep and deep, with a coldness like ice.

The performance in the arena was still going on, Qi Changle had already collected his mood, and raised his eyes to look over again.

Soon, they arrived at Xu Zhaoyi's family.

The one who played should be her younger sister. The concubine didn't know that the other party was still young, and she didn't seem to be ready for it.

She should be the calmest one among the people present. Although she is nervous, she is not afraid, which is quite rare.

Qi Changle thought, the other party deliberately persuaded Zhong Liyu, maybe firstly to anger her, and secondly... for this younger sister?

But she didn't expect that Xu Zhaoyi could persuade her sister to do this.

But the other party doesn't seem to be up to the mark, how can she ensure that the female gentleman will like it?

Of course, as long as Zhong Liyu likes him, it's not a problem even if he doesn't make it to Ji, but the key point is that this premise is already very difficult to satisfy.

Qi Changle propped his chin, observed for a while, then raised his eyes to look at Zhongliyu.

The other party didn't show any particular interest, and the expression seemed to be pure... just watching.

This made Qi Changle feel a lot better.

At this time Xu Zhaoyi stood up.

"Forgive me, Your Majesty, sister She's talent is a duet, and I hope His Majesty will allow the courtiers and concubines to come and assist."

Zhong Liyu nodded dispensably, "Yes."

Then, Xu Zhaoyi slowly got up and went to the center of the field.

Looking at the figures of the two of them, Qi Changle laughed secretly in his heart.

This was originally a "execution ground" that everyone avoided, but Xu Zhaoyi turned it into a holy place for performances.It seems that people who think about it really have unlimited potential.

Then, it was a very wonderful performance.

Even Qi Changle, a person who doesn't know much about music theory, can hear the deep heart and strong skill of this song.

She took a sip of sake and sneered from the bottom of her heart.

Afterwards, Xu Zhaoyi stood up and danced to the music.

Qi Changle looked up, stroked the cup wall with his fingers, and smiled slightly.

No wonder she would take the initiative to ask for Ying. It turned out that she was going around to fight for favor for herself.

She looked at Xu Zhaoyi's dance with an unpredictable expression.

It's beautiful, but unfortunately, it's a step too late.Unfortunately, she danced to the wrong person.

Zhong Liyu read it without interest, then nodded hastily.

Xu Zhaoyi didn't get what she wanted, so she couldn't help but bit her lip and asked, "I wonder if Your Majesty is still satisfied?"

Zhong Liyu raised his eyes to look at her when he heard the words.

She doesn't have a personality that likes to praise others, let alone praise...it's good not to be critical, so after Xu Zhaoyi asked this question, she chuckled, "Ask me?"

Xu Zhaoyi was a little startled, but still nodded.

Zhong Liyu chuckled.

"If you ask me, then my evaluation is--not so much." She turned her eyes sideways, "Still not coming down?"

Xu Zhaoyi clenched her fists violently, her face was flushed, and she was a little embarrassed to get off the stage.

She didn't ask Zhong Liyu to coax her as gently as he doted on Qi Changle, but, but seeing that she made such a proposal, shouldn't the other party give her some face?

Why do you want to humiliate her in public...

Xu Zhaoyi bit her lower lip, feeling ashamed.

But she didn't play with her temper, because she knew that it was useless in front of Zhong Liyu.

Xu Zhaoyi lowered her head and hurried off the stage, feeling uncomfortable in her heart.

In a trance, she seemed to see Qi Changle's mocking eyes looking over.

Thinking of this, Xu Zhaoyi felt a sting in his heart, with an indescribable sourness and tingling pain.

She took a deep breath, reassuring herself not to care.

It's Qi Changle who should really feel uncomfortable, how much love does she think she has received from the female monarch?In reality, if the female gentleman really liked her, she would not disregard Qi Changle and agree to her proposal this time.

It can be seen from this that Qi Changle is not so hard to shake, after a while, Zhongliyu's interest in her will probably disappear.

When the time comes... Heh.

Xu Zhaoyi took a deep breath and calmed down.

The performance was gradually coming to an end, but nothing happened this time, and the people who were already worried could not help but breathe a sigh of relief.

Before the palace banquet dissipated, Zhong Liyu raised his eyes slightly, "Come here."

Huang Zhongjin walked over holding the imperial decree.

Almost everyone couldn't help being startled when they saw the imperial decree, fearing that something bad would happen.

The next moment, Huang Zhongjin unfolded the imperial decree.

"Following the imperial decree of Chengyun, the Zhaoyi Qi family has a gentle temperament and is very pleasing to my heart. It is specially conferred the title of concubine, named Jue, and bestowed on the palace Changle Palace. This is—"

The others breathed a sigh of relief at first, and then they were a little surprised.

Qi Changle, they naturally know about this person, it's only been a few months since he entered the palace, and he has already been promoted from a nobleman to a concubine? !

Such a great favor, unheard of and unseen!

It's no wonder they were surprised, even in the time of the first emperor, there was never such a character, not to mention that Zhong Liyu is still sitting on the dragon chair.

According to common sense, such a fast promotion speed should be dissuaded by impeachment, but... forget it, as long as the female monarch is happy, whoever dares to persuade will do so.

When he learned of this decree, Qi Changle stood up and looked at Zhong Liyu in a daze, and even forgot to accept the decree to thank him.

She parted her lips slightly, in disbelief.

Although she knew that Zhong Liyu was a traitor, she never expected...that she would be promoted to the imperial concubine so quickly.

Was given Changle Palace.

Her eyelashes fluttered slightly in disbelief.

The emotions in my heart that had become a little sour due to jealousy were warmed by the warm current and became peaceful at this moment.

She took a deep breath and knelt down slowly.

"My concubine, thank you Lord Long En."

Xu Zhaoyi looked over with wide eyes in astonishment, besides disbelief, there were also inexplicable jealousy and obscure emotions.

Why, why? !

Qi Changle, what virtue and ability can she have?

This question is not limited to Xu Zhaoyi, and naturally other people also have this question.

They looked at Qi Changle with restless eyes.

Qi Changle was bathed in the gazes of the people around him, took a deep breath, and accepted the imperial edict.

She raised her eyes to look at Zhong Liyu, and finally couldn't help showing a sincere smile.

The author has something to say: Changle’s brain supplement is that Zhong Liyu is emmm you understand

but actually no

My sister's daughter-in-law, what do you call her?

Brother-in-law in another sense

Changle: I want to replace it

Concubine: Brother-in-law is unnecessary, unnecessary

In the last chapter, I received a lot of nutrient solutions from everyone, I was so moved, I was bathed in everyone's love, so happy~
