Keep in mind our website and wish you all a happy reading!Don't forget to spread the word.

In the cold winter, after drinking, she felt colder and colder. Lying on the soft couch, Xun Changqing tossed and turned, feeling the cold into her bones. The charcoal stove used for heating in the hall was far away, so she could not feel the heat source.

Tossing and turning, feeling a little dizzy, suddenly lifted the quilt, looked at the bed in the inner hall for a while, then got off the bed and ran inside, stepping on the cold floor tiles barefoot, feeling more and more bitingly cold, and stood in front of the bed , the corner of his mouth twitched, and he said aggrievedly: "It's so cold outside, I can't sleep."

The light sleeper opened his eyes, and there was a weak light in front of the couch, but he could still see Xun Changqing's face clearly. It was obvious that she was arguing and sleeping outside, but now she was wronged, she was really unpredictable, she smiled. : "Want to change bed with me?"

"Don't change it, just give me half of it," said Xun Changqing, afraid that she would regret it again, so he got on the bed and got into the bed. It was much warmer than outside. She turned her head and looked at the person moving inward, and said again :"I am dizzy……"

Wei Lingci's expression eased, and after being tucked under the quilt, he lay on the inside, and said lightly: "Drunk people should sleep as soon as they get on the couch. You don't look drunk at all, but pretend to be drunk."

"Pretend to be drunk and pretend to be drunk. I'm dizzy anyway," Xun Changqing looked at her, his eyes were really a little blurred, and he fumbled randomly under the quilt, touching the hand she put between the two of them, and holding it tightly. After getting up, he closed his eyes contentedly.

Wei Lingci didn't expect her to be so active, which made her a little at a loss. The hand being held wanted to withdraw, but she didn't want to let her down, so she held it and looked sideways at her, with a drunken expression on her face. Flushing red, he said with a light smile, "Changqing, aren't you afraid of assassins now?"

Xun Changqing said lazily, "I'll just keep watch."

"What are you guarding?"

"Watch... nature vigil."

"Will the night watchman lie on the couch?"

"Then I will guard you, can it be done?" Xun Changqing opened his eyes, stared at the veil on the top, drowsiness gradually receded, recalled something in his mind, and suddenly said: "Do you like to be a queen? No, mine Does that mean you want to be queen?"

Wei Lingci's heart was shocked, his smile disappeared, and he didn't answer, while Xun Changqing lay on his side, just looking at her, smelling the faint fragrance of peach blossoms on her body, "I made Xun Yiran's marriage possible , you will be disappointed... No, if you regret it, you can actually have time, after all, the mother world is still very beautiful."

As soon as she finished speaking, Wei Lingci pulled away her hand, closed her eyes and fell asleep, making Xun Changqing feel bored, and she also moved inward, holding her fingertips on her shoulder, and said in a low voice: "You're angry?"

"No, in fact, there is no room for reversal in this matter. The second prince and concubine can still change it," the voice was as cold as a gurgling stream, and it was obviously soft, but it made people feel icy cold.

Xun Changqing felt something was wrong, and hurriedly said, "I'm talking nonsense, don't take it seriously."

"The words have been spoken, why not take them seriously."

"I... I'm drunk and talking nonsense, of course it's unbelievable," Xun Changqing lied indiscriminately, his heart jumped for joy, and he stretched his hand towards Wei Lingci's body obediently, and put his arms around her soft waist, The touch is warm and greasy, the eyes seem to be gentle from another world, and she smiles, "The queen is easy to become a jealous woman, it's not good."

Wei Lingci opened his eyes, she was already against the wall, there was no way to retreat, a slightly cool hand was placed on her waist, she stroked it aside, put her hand on her waist, and said lightly: "Chang Qing , what are you now?"

Xun Changqing blinked, as if he didn't understand what she meant, "What am I..."

Chapter 44

The snow is white, it is white at every glance, and it is like an illusion. Several blooming plum blossoms in the courtyard were bent by the heavy snow, and they were overwhelmed. When the sun cleared, there were some white floating clouds in the distant sky.

The palace people in the corridor were sweeping the snow to clear a path for the master to walk, while Concubine Xian was holding the maid's hand and walking over step by step. Wei Lingci, who was watching the snow in the morning, leaned over and saluted, "Your Majesty, today Woke up very early."

She is different. Yesterday, Xun Changqing made a fuss. The two shared the same couch. They have been used to living alone for many years. There is one more person beside her. She is a little uncomfortable, but she does not want to drive people away. She is half awake and half awake at night. If you can't fall asleep at dawn, it's better to get up and watch the snow.

The cool morning breeze messed up the skirt, Concubine Xian followed Wei Lingci's line of sight to look over, the red plums straightened up again, the branches swayed, plum blossoms stood against the wind in the cold snow, and the fragrance of plum blossoms came from the bitter cold.

She took off yesterday's gorgeous peach-red long dress, and today she is wearing a plain gauze dress, looking thin and quiet under the snow, her black hair is rolled up, and the white hair at the temples looks particularly haggard under the bare face, " Miss Wei, did you rest comfortably in Zhaoren Palace yesterday?"

There was something in the words, Wei Lingci nodded and said with a smile: "With the care of the empress, the ministers and Changqing are naturally happy and at ease."

"Heavy snow crushes red plums. I don't know if it's a blessing or a curse."

"Auspicious snow heralds a prosperous year, which is a blessing."

"But the red plum is bent, is it also a blessing?" Concubine Xian Gui's cold eyes contained a faint resentment, and her exhaled breath turned into a cloud of white mist, which dissipated in an instant.

Wei Lingci stared at the little red plums in the white snow, and said with a smile: "The red plums are just bent. In the coming year, the people will have enough food and clothing. Isn't it a good thing?"

Concubine Xian looked at Wei Lingci with earnest eyes, tightened her grip on the embroidered handkerchief, and asked: "What if the heavy snow crushes the crops? Is it a blessing? If we abandon the red plums, can we preserve this blessing?"

Wei Ling remained silent, paused for a while, and then said in a low voice: "Madam, but the red plum has already bent, and it is difficult to recover after being covered with water, and a dead person cannot be resurrected."

The gleam in Concubine Xian's eyes dimmed a little bit, her eyes drooped a little bit, and her eyes were also messed up by the snow shadow, but in an instant, after weighing the pros and cons, she raised her head, her face was warm, and she pushed back the maid who was close to her, and lowered her head. He said in a low voice, "Miss Wei, I have a business in the palace, I wonder if you are interested?"

....................................

Outside the hall, there was snow and cold, and the coldness hit people, but inside the hall, the charcoal fire was warm and warm, like spring.

The drunk person woke up a little later than usual. When he opened his eyes, there was no one around him. He shrank into the quilt, recalled what happened last night, sat up suddenly, and looked around, only Zijin was beside him. waiting.

Seeing that someone was awake, she stepped forward to serve Xun Changqing to put on her clothes, and reminded: "Just now the imperial concubine came and chatted with Miss Wei outside, because you are not awake, it is not easy to enter the palace to disturb, the two of you I had no choice but to go to the empress' bedroom."

The concubine Xiangui invites her, on the one hand she loses the empress's face, on the other hand she just wants to have a conversation with Wei Lingci.

After the palace servants had set the breakfast on the table, Wei Lingci came slowly, and with a slight sideways glance, one could see the curiosity in Xun Changqing's eyes. What's the matter with me, then guess what it is?"

Xun Changqing took a bite of the crystal shrimp dumpling, and the delicious smell lingered in his mouth, he guessed: "If you don't have anything to do, I will want to get some benefits from you, but Concubine Xian Gui is already the second person in the harem, and she doesn't want power." , and you can't give her the right to ask you to form an alliance against the queen?"

Glancing at Xun Changqing from the corner of his eyes, Wei Lingci stirred the cloud-like porridge in the bowl with a spoon in his hand, and after taking a bite, Fang said: "It's good that you can think of this, but do you ever know what the bargaining chip of Concubine Xian is?" ?"

Xun Changqing put down his chopsticks, his eyes faded away from his laziness, and he spoke seriously, "Her bargaining chip is the bargaining chip of the third prince in the past, but now with His Majesty's guilt, more chips are on the side of the bed Your Majesty, I heard that His Majesty often comes to Zhaoren Palace these days. It would be good if she could tell the Emperor what he thinks in time. However, I am even more curious about whether she has military power in her hands. Gu Liangqian has already resigned from office. What will she use to compete with the Empress? ?"

Wei Lingci smiled, "Actually, military power is of no benefit to you. With Yuan Qingming in Beijing, no amount of military power is in vain. On the contrary, it is difficult for you and me to know how your majesty thinks. Yuan Qingming is not dead, the queen thought. The strategy of Bi Palace will not be realized unless His Majesty writes an imperial edict to pass on the throne to Xun."
