The queen's ceremonial guard entered Yunqing Palace in a grand manner. The elegantly dressed queen Xie Huayue looked arrogant, but she was over forty years old, and the wrinkles at the corners of her eyes could not be hidden even with the best face powder.

Walking into the room with the support of the grand lady, Empress Xie raised her head and said, "Concubine Hui, I heard that my younger brother came to visit the palace, and my palace specially sent me meals to share, but I didn't expect the sixth princess and the third prince to come here faster than me. "

Prince Zheng Lijie came in after him. He was in his early twenties, with a slightly fat body, fair skin, round face, thick eyebrows, and he often smiled, giving people a sense of honesty and honesty.

The crown prince saw Zheng Lixiao and Zheng Liying saluting to the queen, and said with a smile: "Next time you get together, remember to call the emperor to come with you in advance, the emperor is very depressed to study alone."

Zheng Liying said nonchalantly: "Even if we don't call you Huangxiong, Huangxiong is here."

Uninvited, and the news is so well-informed, Qin Wenxian knew it not long after he entered Yunqing Palace.

Zheng Lixiao shook his fan, smiled and said nothing, but the queen gave Zheng Liying a cold look, but Zheng Lijie didn't realize it, and instead moved closer to Zheng Liying's side, flattering him and said: "This time, the queen mother asked me to come and visit the concubine Hui, but I want to come with the imperial sister in the future."

He didn't realize Zheng Liying's sarcasm, but admitted it honestly.

That simple and honest look made Zheng Liying laugh, the queen seemed a little annoyed, she glared at Zheng Lijie bitterly, and then said to Qin Zhiya: "Sister Hui is really lucky to have such a handsome and talented younger brother like Qin Shaoqing , if I remember correctly, my younger brother is already an adult, but has he ever had a favorite marriage partner? If not, I can help introduce some noble daughters who have both ability and political integrity."

Qin Wenxian sighed secretly, well, he has been standing in the corner without saying a word, and has no intention of getting involved in the dispute between the women in the harem, why is the gun pointed at him suddenly?

Qin Zhiya replied with a low eyebrow, "Thank you, Empress, for your concern. Wen Xian's thoughts are all on Dali Temple's official duties, and he has no intention of getting married for the time being."

Qin Wenxian silently gave her sister a thumbs up in her heart, knowing brother Mo Ruo.

The queen said disapprovingly: "The male college should be married, and the female college should be married. Even if he wants to make great achievements, he should not delay his lifelong affairs for this."

Qin Zhiya glanced at her younger brother, and smiled softly: "I hope he can find someone he likes to spend his life with in the future, and there is no need to rush to complete the task."

Zheng Liying agreed: "That's right, life is short, of course you have to spend your life with the person you like."

The queen looked at Zheng Liying, smiled and said: "If I hadn't known that the Sixth Princess and Concubine Hui were close, I would have thought that the Sixth Princess was interested in Qin Shaoqing."

After taking a soft knife, Zheng Liying was not annoyed, but instead said with a smile, "If I really have feelings for Qin Shaoqing, will the empress help us?"

He easily threw the question to the queen. The princess's marriage was not approved by the emperor, so the queen naturally didn't dare to promise easily, her face froze, and she forced a smile: "You are such a ghost, you dare to joke about anything."

Qin Zhiya smiled, and quickly went downstairs by the ladder, "Princess Six has always been a pistachio, and the emperor likes to hear her laugh the most. Please don't blame the empress."

"How could it be? I also like this girl very much."

The communication between the mouth and the heart was very tiring, the empress was obviously not comfortable staying here, and did not eat a few mouthfuls, so she hurried away with the prince on the pretext of going to make new clothes for the emperor.

After seeing off the uninvited guest, Qin Zhiya, Qin Wenxian, and Qin Yao's mother and son looked at each other and breathed a sigh of relief.

Five years ago, when Qin Zhiya entered the palace as a concubine, the Qin family became relatives of the emperor. Qin Wenxian often came to visit her sister, and got close to other relatives of the emperor when attending palace banquets. However, the interpersonal relationship in the palace was complicated. Although they are harmonious on the surface, they are divided into factions in the dark.

Empress Xie Huayue gave birth to the eldest son Zheng Lijie, who was established as the crown prince. Uncle Xie Jiaguo, the empress' natal family, was naturally the most staunch supporter. Tang Linghao didn't dare to be so arrogant.

It may be that the prince is too dull, so Empress Xie is always worried too much, not only forming cliques outside, but also guarding the harem concubines and princes and princesses, for fear that someone will take away the prince's position.

Since Qin Hong handed over the military power and retired, the Qin family's power has long been inferior to before. Qin Zhiya entered the palace alone. Although she was favored by her beauty, talent and character, she was always alone and helpless, and she only had casual acquaintances with other concubines.

Fortunately, she has a good relationship with several princes and princesses, especially the sixth princess, Zheng Liying, who is the emperor's favorite daughter and was named Princess Anyang.

The third prince, Zheng Lixiao, is the elder brother of the sixth princess. Their brothers and sisters were both born to Concubine Shu, but Concubine Shu died of illness six years ago. If another prince and princess were replaced, the mother and concubine would die early, and life would be difficult. Yes, for example, the introverted and quiet fifth princess, the emperor doesn't even remember her birthday, and besides the rich foundation of the uncle's family, this brother and sister should not be underestimated. She is also quite good at pleasing the emperor, few princesses and princes can match her.

In fact, Qin Zhiya knew that the sixth princess often came to see her, not only because she admired her for being gentle and easy to get along with, unlike other concubines who were intriguing, but also because she was Qin Wenxian's older sister, and she would act differently every time she came. Inquire about her brother.

But Qin Zhiya couldn't figure out the purpose of the third prince Zheng Lixiao's visit. The third prince always looked like a flamboyant dandy, but he was actually a rare smart person. Unlike the second prince who has military power, he only has a job in the household department and has no real power, but he likes the emperor like his sister in the palace, and is in a delicate safe zone.

"Qin Wenxian, did you thank me well today?"

As soon as the empress and the crown prince left, Zheng Liying immediately asked Qin Wenxian for credit. Qin Wenxian picked up a glass of wine and said with a smile, "That's natural. Thank you, Your Royal Highness, for saving the siege."

Zheng Liying picked up the wine glass, clinked glasses with him boldly, snorted, and said with a smile: "What kind of minister is not a minister, don't act like those old-fashioned old men, I think you are not as cute as you were when you were a child since you entered Dali Temple gone."

Qin Yao agreed: "That's right, Xian'er was still cute when she was young, and when she gets older, she thinks about it more and more."

Zheng Lixiao shook his fan and looked at his sister, "Do you think that everyone is like you, relying on father's favor, acting mischievously, even the queen dares to contradict, be careful that she will blow pillow wind in father's ear in the future, and let him You marry to the frontier and have a kiss."

Zheng Liying raised her hand and punched her elder brother, and said coquettishly, "How dare you curse me like that? What kind of brother are you? Am I still your own sister?"

Qin Wenxian raised his wine glass and said with a smile: "Okay, I'll toast you brothers and sisters. Thanks to you, my sister's life in the palace can be so safe and joyful."

Qin Zhiya also toasted, "That's right, if it wasn't for the third prince and sixth princess, I would definitely not be as happy as I am now."

Zheng Lixiao smiled, "This is what it should be. The children of Concubine Hui are also our younger brothers and sisters, but according to seniority, you shouldn't call me uncle, haha."

Qin Wenxian's mouth twitched, "..."
