Empress, your husband is invincible

Ling Xuejian had only three or two court ladies accompanying him.

She was wearing a bright yellow chest-length skirt today, which complemented her elegant and outstanding temperament. Suddenly, she was compared to the bright chrysanthemums blooming in the gaps between the stones by the lake.

Ye Cheng stepped forward slowly, and a court lady who was obviously dressed like a female official wanted to stop her, but was stopped by his movement.

"Shh!"

Moving his finger away from his lips, Ye Cheng lit up the purple box in his hand.

The female officer turned her head and glanced at Ling Xuejian, feeling a little embarrassed for a moment.

At this moment, Ling Xuejian also heard movement behind him.

Slightly frowning and turning his head, seeing Ye Cheng, he waved at the female officer:

"Let Mr. Ye come here."

Ye Cheng stepped forward carrying the purple box, and sat on the bench beside Ling Xuejian.

Ling Xuejian frowned and looked at the box in his hand, pinched the center of his brows, and said with a forced smile:
"For me? Mr. Ye has a heart."

Sensing that Ling Xuejian was troubled, Ye Cheng just pushed the box towards her, and followed the direction of her gaze to look at the lake.

There are some golden fallen leaves and some chrysanthemum petals on the lake.Countless koi are chasing and pecking at the remaining petals of chrysanthemums on the water surface.

As the breeze came, ripples appeared on the surface of the lake, and at the same time, it lifted Ling Xuejian's hair from his temples.

Pressing the purple box with tender white palms, Ling Xuejian took a serious look at Ye Sheng, but seeing that he had no intention of opening his mouth, he continued to watch the koi on the lake on his own.

The sun gradually shifted, and unconsciously, the warm red sunset light spread all over the entire imperial city, warming the surface of the blue lake.

Probably a little tired, Ling Xuejian raised his pillowed arm from the railing, glanced at Ye Cheng who had never said a word, then looked down at the box with his right hand.

Shaking his slightly numb wrist, he gently moved the small and exquisite seven-ring lock, and a pair of exquisite phoenix-shaped bead hairpins came into Ling Xuejian's eyes.

Dazed for a moment, Ling Xuejian raised his head and looked at Ye Cheng with a strange expression.

Ye Sheng still didn't say a word, and looked engrossed in watching the koi on the lake.

Ling Xuejian's expression became even weirder.

The group of koi had already eaten up the remaining petals of chrysanthemums and some small bugs on the surface of the lake, and they didn't know where they went...

What is Ye Cheng concentrating on watching?
Ye Cheng was naturally looking at Ling Xuejian from the corner of his eye.

Ling Xuejian watched fish, he watched Ling Xuejian; Ling Xuejian looked at chrysanthemums, he looked at Ling Xuejian; Ling Xuejian was in a daze, he was still looking at Ling Xuejian...

Even up to this moment, he was still looking at Ling Xuejian out of the corner of his eye...

After receiving the warm tea from the female officer's bow, she took a sip, and finally Ling Xuejian couldn't help but open her mouth curiously.

"Mr. Ye wants to stay here with me until dinner without saying a word?"

The corner of Ye Cheng's mouth twitched, and he turned to look at her:
"Of course not, Caomin is just waiting for His Majesty to speak first."

"Ok?"

Ling Xuejian's face froze, and the pearl hairpin that had been clutched in the palm of his left hand was instantly clenched.

"If you think about it, you will know that His Majesty is worried about state affairs. If the grassroots ask questions rashly, wouldn't it be considered disrespectful?"

Ling Xuejian gave a bitter smile and shook his head slowly.

"Mr. Ye has an exquisite heart.

Although this pearl hairpin is good, I cannot accept it.Mr. Ye please take it back. "

Ye Cheng's face froze.

what's the situation?
Doesn't Ling Xuejian like this pearl hairpin?
Ling Xuejian sighed, and looked away from the pearl hairpin.

"As the gentleman said, the state affairs have been corrupted so far, how can I have the heart to wear these gadgets?"

"..."

Ye Cheng was silent for a moment.

How could this fatal state matter affect his progress in chasing the empress and eating a delicious soft meal as soon as possible?
Taking a deep look at Ling Xuejian, Ye Cheng's heart skipped a beat.

Or, first use the system to give full play to your advantages as a traverser, and help Ling Xuejian save Da Ling?
While Ye Cheng was hesitating, Ling Xuejian suddenly stood up, glanced at him with a forced smile, and said:
"Sir, it's getting late, please go back and rest early. I'm still pointing at you about the sweet potato.

There is still less than ten days left before the competition. "

"..."

Ye Cheng was completely dumbfounded.

I have to say that if you want to eat the soft food of the most powerful woman in the world, it seems that you really need to work hard...

Seeing Ling Xuejian get up and walk out of the gazebo, Ye Cheng glanced at the purple box, finally gritted his teeth, and quickly caught up with her.

"Your Majesty, that phoenix... well, the pearl hairpin was bought by the grass-roots at a cost of 5000 taels of silver. Moreover, the grass-folks have never had the habit of taking back the gifts they gave out."

Before he finished speaking, Ye Cheng immediately bowed to Ling Xuejian, turned around and said goodbye.

"Ten taels?"

Ling Xuejian was stunned for a moment, then turned to look at the purple box lying alone on the bench.

After a moment of silence, Ye Cheng's back had completely disappeared into the sea of ​​flowers.

Ling Xuejian suddenly turned around and picked up the purple box.

Taking out all the two pearl hairpins and looking at them under the warm red afterglow of the setting sun, the corners of Ling Xuejian's lips curled up slowly.

One phoenix and one phoenix, the phoenix seeks the phoenix?
Looking in the direction where Ye Cheng disappeared, and slowly rubbing the carvings on the two pearl hairpins, a chill suddenly appeared on Ling Xuejian's face.

This Ye Cheng, did he really treat me like an ordinary daughter?
……

"Bang Bang Bang..."

It was dark at night, and on the spacious street, the sound of the watchman's clapper suddenly sounded.

"It's dry, be careful with candles."

While yelling hard, doing his duty, the elderly watchman suddenly turned his head to look at the corner not far away.

After standing there for a while, the watchman muttered again and continued to move forward.

"The one who saw a few black shadows just now, could it be that he is old and his eyes are dim?"

A man and a woman in pure black night clothes leaned against the corner of the wall, hidden in the shadows, watching the watchman slowly go away.

Moving his hand away from the hilt, the tall and thin man complained to the graceful woman beside him:
"Junior Sister, you have really changed. If it was in the past, you would definitely not stop me from killing this watchman who almost saw us."

"The master's mansion is nearby, if you want to kill it, go elsewhere!"

With a cold snort, the graceful woman touched the ground with her toes, followed the shadow of the corner, and hurried towards a mansion not far away.

He took off his mask, licked his dry lips, and the tall and thin man immediately followed.

……

In a secret room full of bookshelves, there is only a dim butter lamp burning slowly on a small tabletop.

A thin man in Tsing Yi was leaning over the table by the light of an oil lamp, carefully reading the information on the table.

"My lord, the members of the Blood Sect are outside, please see me."

There was a sound of footsteps, and the middle-aged man in gray bowed to salute the thin man.

"That group of trash can't even kill three people, let them get out."

Putting down the brush, the thin man snorted coldly and raised his head from the table.

Upon closer inspection, he was seven to eight points similar to Da Ling's respected old prime minister, Qin Muzhi...
