Ling Xiao stopped for a moment in front of the tall Zhumen of the imperial city, and when he was about to walk in, suddenly several auspicious lights flashed, and twelve figures appeared in front of him, blocking his way.

"Liu Ding Yin God and Liu Jia Yang God are here, who dares to trespass into the imperial palace on earth?" The leader issued a warning sound like a bell.

Ling Xiao slapped his forehead lightly, but he forgot that the emperor in the world has six armors to protect him at all times to protect against evil spirits.

"I am ordered by the emperor to investigate the whereabouts of the strange beasts in the heavenly beast garden." Ling Xiao said lightly, and with a wave of his long sleeves, he revealed the true appearance of the fairy in blue and white.

When the 12 people saw this, they immediately bowed and saluted: "I also ask Immortal Lingxiao to forgive my offense."

Ling Xiao waved his hand generously: "No problem, you guys go down, I will find clues by myself."

When the 12 people heard the words, they turned into auspicious lights and disappeared before Ling Xiao's eyes.

Ling Xiao looked at the familiar Chengtian Gate in front of him, and stepped into the gate as soon as he raised his foot, but the hundreds of cross-sword guards in black robes inside and outside the gate knew nothing about it.

At this moment, the sunset has not yet set, and the palace halls of the Yong Dynasty have already lighted up the lights.

There is only one male empress in the harem of Emperor Shengwu of the late emperor, and there are no other concubines.After the funeral of the empress, the new emperor succeeded to the throne, and he had neither a wife nor a side concubine. The huge palace with as many as 81 palaces seemed more and more desolate and lonely.

The new Emperor Ren Xiao, although the national mourning has passed for a day, but there is no order from him, the white pot in the palace still has not been withdrawn.

Of course, this is also one of the procedures of the national funeral. The white pot can only be removed after the courtiers and the new emperor make three requests and three rejections.

The emperor's authority in the Yong Dynasty was handed over not long ago, and the affairs of the court were complicated. Therefore, during these days, the new emperor would go to the early court, and after less than two hours of rest, he would start the afternoon court. After the afternoon court, he would go to Fengxian Hall to worship the late emperor The Holy Empress waited until dusk before rushing to Renshou Palace to have dinner with the Empress Dowager.

After repeating this for more than a month, the new emperor's cheeks became visibly thinner.

Ling Xiao sat cross-legged on the beam of the main hall of Fengtian Hall, resting his elbows on his knees and holding his chin, looking at the new emperor Yunjinghu who was sitting behind the jade table reviewing the memorial, and sighed heavily after a long while: "This The emperor is really not human."

Before ascending the throne, Yunjinghu was such a lively and cheerful little fat man. He usually wanted to go to the dining room to steal delicious food, or he wanted to sneak out of the palace with Ling Xiao to play outside. Shichou's lively temperament.

It's only been a long time since he became the emperor, but he lost his body fat, his white and tender face was thin and angular, and his appearance was much more handsome than before.

But from Lingxiao's point of view, he still likes the little fat prince who always loved to be by his side and act like a baby.Looking at this handsome and thin Yunjing Lake, he couldn't help but feel distressed.

The silver dragon on his wrist gave him a deadpan glance.

Ling Xiao immediately changed his words: "Of course, you are a fairy, and you are naturally not a person from the mortal world. However, since we want to find the whereabouts of the squid, why don't we go to the south of the Yangtze River and come here instead? Could it be that your majesty wants to see Ah Hu is this child?"

Tan Yuan said indifferently: "Jinghu is already the ruler of the human world, not the child from back then, why should I worry about it? Within the nine states and four seas, any disasters caused by floods and droughts will be reported to the emperor, waiting here News is better than looking around aimlessly."

Ling Xiao raised his eyebrows slightly: "After all, the emperor is smart and knows how to wait for the rabbit."

Tan Yuan moved his body, and the dragon body wrapped around Ling Xiao's right wrist softened a little: "I'm out of spiritual power, I need to meditate and practice."

When Ling Xiao heard this, there was a trace of worry hidden in his eyes: "Do you need me to protect the law for you?"

"No need." Tan Yuan tightly wrapped his body around Ling Xiao's wrist, and then slowly closed his eyes.

Ling Xiao frowned slightly, seeing Tan Yuan wrapping his body around his wrist for several times, as if he had entered meditation practice, after a moment of silence, he took out seven fairy stones, and threw them into a seven-star gathering spirit array in the void, with the help of this emperor The aura of dragon veins in the city helps Tan Yuan to heal and recuperate.

Inside Fengtian Hall, the lights were brightly lit.

Just as Yun Jinghu put down a book that had already been processed, the eunuch outside the hall came in small steps to report: "Your Majesty, Princess Qinghe has sent the lotus seed soup prepared by the Queen Mother, and it is being prepared outside the door. wait."

Ling Xiao on the beam of the house regained his spirits when he heard this. His little fat man has never been married this year, and there are no concubines or maids around him. The new emperor will sooner or later be drafted to be a concubine.It seems that this Princess Qinghe is the candidate that the Queen Mother values.

Ling Xiao vaguely remembered that Yunjinghu's mother, the ex-prince and current queen mother, did have a adopted daughter by her side, but at that time, since the entire harem was dominated by the male queen, Ling Xiao, it was not easy for foreign relatives to enter. Therefore, Ling Xiao is not very familiar with the female family members of the courtiers' families.

He stretched his neck expectantly, waiting to see what the Princess Qinghe would look like.

After hearing what the personal eunuch said, Yun Jinghu didn't stop reading the notebook, but said in a light tone: "The autumn night is cold, and Princess Qinghe's body has always been weak. She doesn't need to come in person for such things in the future. Put the things down for now. Just let her go back."

go back?

Ling Xiao couldn't help sighing, really wanted to tap the little fat man's forehead to see what was inside.The girls are so rushed, so he still can't see her intentions?

He didn't remember that he taught Yunjing Lake in such a perplexing manner.

Hearing this, the little eunuch hesitated: "Your Majesty, Princess Qinghe has come to deliver soup for three consecutive days, and you don't want to see her. Go to Renshou Palace to have dinner with the Queen Mother tomorrow. I'm afraid that the Queen Mother will... ..It’s hard to explain.”

Yun Jinghu's eyes dimmed, thinking of the empress dowager's ugly face during dinner, he stopped his movements unconsciously.

He was originally not a child of the first emperor, and he was not destined for the ninety-five positions.

It's just that the emperor and the empress announced at the time that they would choose an outstanding son from among the royal clan to be the crown prince. Immediately, the clans all over the country were very excited when they heard the news, and they were even more determined to take down the crown prince.

At that time, Yunjinghu was only five or six years old, and was dressed up by his widowed mother, Princess Heng, and sent to the palace, where he was trained and selected by the emperor along with other clan children.

Anyway, for some reason, in the end Yunjinghu got the eye of the empress and was left in the palace to be trained as the future heir to the throne.Since then, he has rarely seen his mother, and the relationship between the two has gradually weakened.

After Yunjinghu ascended the throne as the emperor and sent people from Cangzhou to bring his mother into the palace and honor him as the biological mother empress dowager, his mother began all kinds of flirting operations.On the one hand, he wanted the emperor to make his younger brother a prime minister, and on the other hand, he wanted to marry his adopted daughter to the emperor to make him a queen.Anyway, she has only one purpose, and that is to let her own people take power in the Dayong Dynasty and consolidate her position as the empress dowager.

Of course, Yun Jinghu could somewhat understand the empress dowager's insecurity.

Their mother and son had been separated for 14 years. Yunjinghu almost regarded the first emperor and later as his own biological parents to respect and love. This biological mother had been away from her parent and child for a long time, and worried that she would not have enough weight in the emperor's heart, especially seeing that the emperor went to Fengxian Hall every day to pay homage to the first emperor. Finally, I feel that this son may not be counted on.

It would be better to arrange her own manpower around the emperor so that she can rest assured.

It's just that she didn't know that although Yunjinghu never played tricks in front of Lingxiao and Tanyuan, it didn't mean that he was really as innocent as he appeared on the surface.Having been under the influence of Tan Yuan, the emperor of all ages, for more than ten years, even if he does not have the perfect emperor's scheming, he has learned [-]% to [-]% of Tan Yuan's skills.

In order not to hurt the relationship between mother and child, Yun Jinghu appointed Uncle Guo as a fourth-rank servant of the Ministry of Rites, and told the Queen Mother that this is only the beginning of a new dynasty. If the reward is too high, I am afraid that he will face the embarrassing situation of no title in the future.And for the time being, give him a fourth-rank servant. In the future, if the queen mother asks, she can be promoted again, so as to teach Guojiu and his family to always remember the kindness of the queen mother.

When the queen mother heard the words, she gave up happily, and she accepted Yunjinghu's kindness.Only for the position of queen, she still insisted on following her adopted daughter, Princess Qinghe.Ever since Yunjing Lake was sent to the palace, she felt lonely at her knees, so she simply begged a daughter from her elder brother's family to keep her by her side, treating her as her own, on the contrary, she raised her more carefully than her own.

In the Empress Dowager's plan, if her own son became the emperor and her adopted daughter became the queen, it would be perfect.

However, her abacus was sound, but the emperor's side was always vague, and did not give her an accurate signal.However, the Empress Dowager naturally refused to give up, so she brought Qinghe into the palace, sealed her as a princess, and asked Qinghe to deliver soup and water to the emperor on her behalf from time to time, hoping that the two of them would achieve good things.

"Let her in." Yun Jinghu sighed deeply, only feeling that he was getting more and more tired as the emperor.

He had only been emperor for a month or two, and he already felt exhausted. At his age, his father had already sent troops from the bitter cold places like Youzhou to return to the imperial court, and became emperor. , cut down the vassals and kings, unified the rivers and mountains, and reigned for more than [-] years, giving the people of the world a glorious and prosperous age of Haiyan and Heqing.

Thinking of this, Yunjinghu took another sip of the already slightly cold strong tea on the jade table, and planned to work another hour after dismissing Princess Qinghe.

The first emperor handed over the prosperous dynasty of Dayong to him. Even if he couldn't match his father, he would at least keep the Great Yong.

Seeing this scene, Ling Xiao felt more and more distressed, and couldn't help but stare down at Tan Yuan who was recuperating in peace.It's all because this guy worked too hard when he was in the world, expanding the territory of the Dayong Dynasty by more than ten times, but making their little fat man have to deal with such a big mess with exhaustion.

Not long after, a slender girl wearing a white butterfly dress and a fairy dress with flowers and flowers entered the temple holding a food box. The girl wore a colorful double mandarin ring around her waist. As Pingting walked, the double rings clashed, and the tinkling bells made the woman more attractive. The face is delicate and pretty, and the look is full of spirit.

"Your Majesty, it's late at night. The Queen Mother is worried about your health, so she specially asked me to bring a bowl of lotus seed porridge." Princess Qinghe put down the food box, and took out a bowl of steaming hot lotus seed porridge from it, softly voice to persuade the emperor sitting behind the table.

And Ling Xiao frowned deeply the first time he saw the Princess Qinghe appearing on the stage.

It's just that this woman has no fate with Yunjing Lake, but there is still a deep debt between them.This woman's seal was darkened, and there was a vague resentment shrouded on her head, but she had a Nine Palaces Breaking Evil Talisman seal hanging on her chest, which prevented all disasters for her.

Ling Xiao narrowed his eyes slightly, this Princess Qinghe has had human life on her hands, and more than one.

"Yeah." After Yun Jinghu responded lightly, he slightly raised his eyes and glanced at the princess, "It's late at night and the dew is heavy, so it's good to have the things delivered. You go back and tell the mother, my heart is taken care of."

Princess Qinghe nodded with a low eyebrow, and didn't make any troubles. After lightly packing the food box he brought, he saluted and turned around to leave.

Ling Xiao twitched her lips unconsciously, this woman really knows how to act, and Gong Dou's rank is quite high, knowing that in her current situation, retreating is the best choice.Looking at Yun Jinghu's eyes again, a trace of unbearableness flashed across.

Ling Xiao couldn't help but secretly cried out that he had made a mistake. Back then they taught Yunjinghu Shishuli Yushe soldiers various skills, but they forgot to tell him how to deal with this deep palace struggle.

Back then Ling Xiao was the only person in Tan Yuan's harem, so of course he didn't have to pay attention to such chores.But the harem of Yunjing Lake is much more complicated than before. If the child he raised carefully is planted in this small ditch, Ling Xiao only feels that he will be pissed off.

Sure enough, as a parent, you can't escape worrying.Even though he's already 'dead', he still can't help but make plans for his little boy.

After a moment of silence, Ling Xiao still couldn't hold it back, and floated out of Fengtian Palace with the wind, followed Qinghe Princess and went all the way to Renshou Palace where the Queen Mother lived.

Following Princess Qinghe was her maid Cuixia who had been with her since she was a child. She complained a lot on behalf of Princess Qinghe: "The princess was clearly ordered by the Queen Mother to deliver soup to His Majesty, but in the end she was punished by His Majesty every day." His cold eyes, His Majesty is too..."

"Cuixia!" Princess Qinghe paused slightly, turned her head and looked at her personal maid lightly, "This is the palace where you may lose your life if you say a wrong word, so I will only warn you once. Prince Heng's Mansion cannot allow you to act recklessly like before. I just don't know what happened to you in the Prince's Mansion, but if you dare to step on the bottom and make trouble in the palace under the banner of the princess, I will The princess doesn't care about the fact that you have served her for so many years, when the time comes, whether you are dead or alive, you can ask for more blessings."

Cuixia was slightly startled, and then immediately knelt down and confessed her mistake, crying bitterly: "Your maidservant knows your mistake, I will not dare to talk too much in the future, please forgive me this time, maidservant, I will definitely keep my mouth shut in the future , I don’t dare to trouble the princess anymore.”

Princess Qinghe glanced at Cuixia condescendingly, and snorted coldly: "Get up."

Her goal is to become the queen of the world and enter the middle palace.No matter who dares to block her or add trouble to her path, she will never show mercy.

Ling Xiao could see clearly from the air that Princess Qinghe was actually a monk with some cultivation, but her aptitude was not good, that is, her cultivation was at the Qi-entraining stage, and at most she could only draw a ghost-suppressing and evil-proofing talisman seal.

However, the evil-breaking jade talisman she was carrying was a high-level talisman, which could not be made by someone with her level of cultivation, but I don't know who would give such a precious talisman to human beings. The talisman was given to her.

The origin of the princess Qinghe made Lingxiao more and more interested.
