Changqing Ci

The reality came much later than imagined, and the two who had been prepared for a long time just responded at the same time.

His Majesty should have passed away at this time in the previous life, and it is already a journey against the sky to drag it to this time in this life. Xun Changqing looked at the bee entangled in the stamen for a long time. It spread its wings and flew for a long time, hoping to gather more honey and return. Greedy, like a human being, she turned her head to look at Zijin and told: "Take care of the Second Prince's Mansion, don't let someone who is interested take advantage of the opportunity, and never take it lightly, send more people over if necessary, and discuss with Yuan Qingming about it." , secretly send some imperial guards over there, and unnecessary troubles should not occur during the national mourning period.”

Zijin showed a slight surprise, and then he thought about it again, such an order was also for His Majesty's heart, he understood his meaning, and went to act.

The death of His Majesty must have shocked the entire government and the public, and tomorrow the candidate for the new emperor will be announced. Wei Lingci saw her look broad, gently held her hand, and said with a smile: "Today can only be repaired. One day, I will go to the county tonight." Stay in the main mansion."

This sentence is not in line with her personality. Xun Changqing naturally felt weird. He leaned forward to stare at her dark pupils, and squeezed her hand tightly with his own, and said strangely: "Miss Wei, what are you hiding from me? He will kindly invite me to live in the princess's mansion, I am afraid that I will be kicked out by the princess and left on the street and people will laugh at me."

Like a wave of mist flashing suddenly, Xun Changqing caught Wei Lingci's unnatural look, immediately grabbed her 'little braid', and said happily; "Say it, tell me, what are you hiding from me."

The complacent look was obviously out of control, Wei Lingci moved the corners of his lips slightly, looked at the person walking in the distance behind her, and reminded her: "The imperial concubine is here."

The cold eyes fell into her dark eyes, Xun Changqing immediately stood up straight, looked at the servants behind Qin Jingyu, his eyes darkened, and asked strangely, "Sister-in-law, who is this?"

Qin Jingyu unexpectedly ran into the two of them in the garden. She had never seen Wei Lingci before, but she had heard of her reputation in the Southwest. It was nothing more than superb martial arts, beautiful appearance, and the posture of sinking fish. Her face was cold and tainted with bad luck for no reason. She turned sideways slightly, with a smile on her face, and said: "I will take people to the warehouse to move some things, set up the house, and Ming'er's study will also add some things. After the enlightenment, father Said to invite a famous teacher to come over to teach, after all, it is better for boys to study in the future."

Xun Yitang practiced both civil and martial arts, so he would die early, and Qin Jingyu naturally would not let his only son practice martial arts again, so as not to repeat the same mistakes.

Now that she is in charge, the key to the storehouse is naturally in her hands. Even if the night pearl is brought out to illuminate it during the day, no one dares to say anything. Naturally, Xun Changqing would not say anything, but said: "Sister-in-law is also thoughtful, After all, there is only one boy named Ming'er in the mansion, the eldest grandson, so naturally he should pick it up for good use, and after the second sister-in-law gives birth to a nephew, Ming'er can teach him."

Right now, he is the only boy, and things are rare and expensive, but this may not be the case in the future.

Qin Jingyu's complexion changed slightly, his hair swayed in the wind, his eyes became darker, and he left after paying a salute, regardless of etiquette, obviously very angry.

She won't be able to give birth, but Xun Yibai is still around, and there will be more male heirs in the future, so Xun Ximing won't look precious, so showing off like this at this time is just a moment of limelight.

After a while, Xun Changqing sneered coldly, concealed the trace of coldness and compassion that lingered on the corners of his lips, looked at Qin Jingyu's back, and moved the corners of his lips, "Actually, she is very stupid, she drove me to death without a trace Meaning, it's better to teach Xun Ximing to become a talent, that's her only path, father and king can't give up Xun Yibai and make a half-old child as heir, it's easier to fight for the throne."

"Once people's hearts expand, they won't think about other insignificant paths. The throne is no match for the throne, and besides, it's the throne. Who doesn't want it."

"I don't want that seat."

Wei Lingci lowered his eyelashes, covering the slightly flowing light in his eyes, his slender five fingers still firmly grasped Xun Changqing's wrist, a mocking smile appeared on his tranquil face, scratching Xun Changqing's eyes. Nose, "That means you are worthless. There is a female emperor in Daqi, so there is still hope for you to fight."

Xun Changqing pulled her to go out, his unparalleled handsome face set off the plain and unpretentious words, but Wei Lingci was startled suddenly, calling the person in front of him stupid, Xun Changqing said: "I don't fight, the country and the country You, I still like you, if the princess knows that I have the intention of becoming emperor, he may take you away, I don't want it."

Wei Lingci looked at Xun Changqing in a daze, she was not inferior to anyone in the royal family, her facial features were exquisite, and the indifferent temperament in her peach blossom eyes reflected the magnanimity in her heart. If Xun Yi ascended the throne, she would have a chance He competed with Xun Yibai, but for the sake of his mother, Wei Xiao, he willingly gave up.

Anyone can tell which is more important. I don't know whether to say she is stupid or stupid. Wei Lingci saw the innocence in her eyes and said helplessly: "When did mother tell you this Give up like this?"

Xun Changqing glanced at the deserted veranda, slowly leaned over, hugged her waist, tiptoed and whispered in her ear: "She has an imperial decree, which means that the father will make me the crown prince. If I leave You, then hand over the imperial decree to me."

Wei Lingci was too shocked to speak, and suddenly stretched out his arms to hug her tightly, and said in the same low voice, "You gave up?"

"I don't want it, although I don't know why His Majesty has such a will, but as long as you don't show it, no one will know, and I don't want to fight, you and Jiangshan, I think you are still beautiful, a living beauty is better than a hard-working and boring throne many."

Xun Changqing wanted to turn around, but Wei Lingci hugged her waist. She didn't know why, but Wei Lingci rubbed her cheek with the tip of his nose, with a rare soft voice, "You are the most stupid in the world... Mother would do this , It is also because she fell in love with His Majesty back then, and when His Majesty was in charge, she wanted His Majesty to give up the throne and leave with her, but His Majesty did not want to, so he voluntarily gave up on her and married Shao Yun."

"So she thinks that I, like His Majesty, will choose the throne. I said, why did she do this? It turned out to be a repeat of the old tricks; in fact, Your Majesty's choice is correct. After taking office, he will be the parents of the people of Daqi. Will abandon the common people because of their children's affair. In fact, the princess has a perverted temper. He is afraid that His Majesty Sangong and Sixth Court will betray her, so he has this choice. And His Majesty is probably afraid that he will betray her, so he can't wait to marry someone else , obviously in love but not being able to accompany each other, it is the most painful."

She kissed the tip of Wei Lingci's nose, her eyes were joyful, and she said seriously: "It's fine if we don't learn from them, you and I are a couple, we can live together for one lifetime, don't allow her to make trouble."

Wei Lingci was a little emotional, seeing that she couldn't suppress her emotions, she spoke with joy, and asked tentatively: "Changqing, if you are the emperor, will there be... will there be other people in the harem?"

Xun Changqing was immersed in it, his face flushed slightly, as if he was drunk, "Of course not, I spent two lifetimes begging for you, and I won't let you down easily."

"Then I'll believe you are." Wei Lingci chuckled, let go of her slender waist, and led her to the princess mansion.

Walking to the door of the princess's mansion, someone backed away, dragged Wei Lingci back a few steps, and said cautiously: "Wei Lingci, your mother will drive me out, even though she helped me last time, I still I'm afraid, the princess even dares to mock my father, there is nothing in the world that she dare not do."

Wei Lingci couldn't help laughing, "Then you go back, you won't be able to pass through this door."

After finishing speaking, Xun Changqing was left behind and crossed the threshold of the mansion alone. Xun Changqing stood in the same place circling desolately. His appearance was so sad and cute that Wei Ling bowed his waist with a smile, and said unavoidably, "Mother!" If you are in the palace today, but not in the mansion, your mind will not know where to turn."

Xun Changqing realized later that she would never stay in the mansion due to the old friendship between the princess and His Majesty. She patted her rotten head, strode across the threshold, and stared at the person who laughed at her. "Wei Lingci, you are a liar!"

The Princess's Mansion is different from the Pingnan Prince's Mansion. Here are all Wei Lingci's people, so they only ignored the fight between the two. The two ran for a while, Xun Changqing lay on Wei Lingci's back, Putting his arms around her neck, he said emotionally, "Wei Lingci, I like you a liar very much."

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

At the time of national mourning, inside the deep palace, everything is white.

The day is sunny and the moon hangs high at night, but looking up from the verandah of Zhaoren Palace, the crescent moon is covered by dark clouds, with only a faint halo, and the afterglow of the moon cannot be seen in the courtyard. Everything was hazy, and with the death of His Majesty, there was a strangeness in the silence, and it felt more dangerous.

The palace people added a few more lights in the main hall, and the orange light reflected in the first hall was warm and bright, and the magnificent sleeping hall was another scene.

The virtuous concubine Gu Liangrou picked out a few brochures to read, and ordered the capable palace servants, "Replace everything in the Qianqiu Palace which is the closest to the Hanyuan Palace. The new emperor probably doesn't like complicated and boring decorations. In addition, the new emperor How about your crown dress?"

"The servant ordered people to hurry up, there will be no delay, empress, take a rest, after all, you have been busy for a day, and the new emperor will move into the palace tomorrow, so I can share some of the burden with you," Qing Yao took over the palace servant The teacup in her hand was handed over to Concubine Xian, feeling a little uneasy in her heart, "Your Majesty, will it succeed tomorrow? Your Majesty has not even left you a will."

The candle wick on the table jumped in response, and it was stripped into a sound, and the tea in hand had no intention of drinking it. Concubine Xian placed the tea on the table and said quietly: "Your Majesty has already arranged it properly, so you should not worry. As for the will, I will come out tomorrow, and you will order someone to take care of Princess Ning'an later."

Qingyao responded softly, and when she turned around, she saw King Pingnan approaching with strides, she stepped aside cleverly and waited.

Concubine Xiangui smiled and said, "My lord, what's the big deal when you come here at this time?"

Xun Yi saluted slightly, then straightened up, his eyes fell on the few booklets on the table, he took a few more careful look, his gaze was like an arrow, and he immediately peeked out the contents above, these are all decorations used by women.

"My lord, do you have something to do?" Concubine Xian reminded him slightly when she saw that he was silent.

Xun Yi responded immediately, "The matter of the previous dynasty has been settled. Tomorrow, before the mourning hall, the late emperor's last decree needs to be announced and a new monarch should be established. Therefore, I came here to ask where the last decree is. Make arrangements early to ensure that there will be no chaos. .”

It is not a trivial matter to come here at such a critical moment, the concubine Xian Gui, who had been prepared long ago, shook her head slowly, with a puzzled expression on her face, she was even more surprised and said: "Could it be that your Majesty didn't entrust it to you before the great trip?"

"Never before, I asked the two prime ministers, but they didn't know, so I came to disturb you."

"I don't care about the affairs of the court. The prince may have found the wrong person. Since he doesn't know, it's better to wait until tomorrow, when someone will come out and read the will."

Four or two words of a thousand catties, coupled with Xian Guifei's calm expression, dispelled Xun Yi's doubts, he turned around and left without waiting for another word.

Qingyao exhaled slightly, patted her chest and gasped for breath, her expression froze, "Mother, where is the last will? Is it different from the arrangements you made?"

"No, I saw His Majesty's writing with my own eyes, but I didn't tell me who I handed it to." Concubine Xian picked up the slightly cold tea cup and took a sip with a warm expression, as if she had a plan in mind.

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

When the crescent moon turned into a half moon, it finally came out from the dark clouds, the moonlight shone silvery all over the ground, the swords were tense outside, but the princess mansion was still calm.

Xun Changqing sat in the hut and watched the innocent maid tying the knot. She turned it over a few times with her fingertips, and it turned out to be a flower knot. She looked at it for a long time, reluctant to leave, and the maid saw her get up. I lost interest and dared not go back to the house.

When Wei Lingci was found, it was such a quiet scene.

She poked Xun Changqing's forehead, feeling very helpless, under the calm face was a trace of unfathomable melancholy, "I need to enter the palace tomorrow, but you still haven't gone to sleep, when do you plan to go to sleep?"

In terms of big heart, the one in front of me is better than everyone else.

Compared with the silent and impatient Wei Ling Ci, Xun Changqing is as calm as an eminent monk who is meditating, tilting his head and pointing outside, "The moon is in its infancy, and it is still early. Entering the palace tomorrow is just to follow the crowd to express condolences. Waiting for the new emperor If you succeed to the throne, you can come back, so why bother."

Seeing that Wei Lingci's expression turned cold, the maid next to her dropped the net in her hand in fright, stood up and saluted, and hurried out of the room, leaving only the master and apprentice behind.

Seeing that she was still unmoved, Wei Lingci was too lazy to talk to her, bent down and hugged her, Xun Changqing was stunned for a moment, then wrapped his arms around her neck, stared at her for a long time, even her twitching eyes Even the eyelashes have never been let go, but they still have a cold and beautiful color.

"Miss Wei, why are you so gentle today? Are you guilty of being a thief?"

When she likes to joke around, she calls her Miss Wei like others, her voice is soft and there is a little joy, Wei Lingci lowers her eyes and glances at her, "Is it so unbearable for you, the princess?"

"That's not true, our Miss Wei is warm and considerate, and she just loves to attract peach blossoms." Xun Changqing curled up in her arms, thought for a while, and added in a serious tone: "Miss Wei is sometimes too deep , too many lies."

After a few words, Wei Ling's words were useless. She put him on the bed, leaned over to take off Xun Changqing's shoes and socks, found a thin blanket from the cabinet and threw it to her, "Hurry up!" Sleep, or I will go to sleep in another room, too lazy to listen to your nagging."

This is what Xun Changqing was most afraid of. She hadn't seen her for several months and it was rare to be tender. She didn't want to stay alone in the empty room and lay down quietly. After a while, the guard Ling Ci turned off the lights and lay down too.

She rolled a few times on the inside of the bed, feeling unsatisfactory, and rolled back to Wei Lingci's side, putting her arms around Wei Lingci's waist, "I can't sleep, will something happen tomorrow? Although you don't say it, but I can tell you're scared."

"Yes, there is no smooth sailing in the court, but remember that I am here, and you will be fine." Even so, Wei Lingci was also uneasy in his heart, so far he did not dare to tell the truth, and the little body next to him was still twisting. Moving, she turned sideways and embraced him into her arms, resting her chin on top of her head, her words were not as comforting as her physical comfort.

"Actually, tomorrow is not too dangerous, after all, the father has already made all preparations."

Wei Lingci responded lightly, without vetoing her, but just holding her tighter.

Xun Changqing was a little breathless, and he didn't want to make a sound to break it. His small hands slowly climbed up Wei Lingci's chest. She closed her eyes and waited for success, but she was caught and moved back to her original position , she said unwillingly: "I still can't sleep..."

"Then how are you going?"

"Kiss me once, and I'll be sleepy."

This reason is really intoxicating, Wei Lingci smiled helplessly, and kissed her trembling eyelashes with a yellowish light, which was regarded as the completion of the task.

Xun Changqing was still not happy, "Not here."

Wei Ling's words were condensed, and he said loudly: "Sleep."

"You lied to me again..."

"You only said you were dear, but you didn't say where. You are unreasonable."

Xun Changqing was inexplicably wronged, she was only a few words away, and Wei Ling's words took advantage of the loopholes. She knew she was wrong and stopped talking, humming a few times, which was regarded as a protest.

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

In Huaqing Palace, the emperor's coffin is parked in the main hall.

Everyone was panic-stricken. After worshiping, many courtiers stood outside the main hall.The holy will is unpredictable, but everyone knows that the late emperor's heirs are unlikely to inherit the throne, so everyone's eyes are on Pingnan Wang Xunyi, who is dressed in white and white silk outside the main hall.

There were vague and chaotic footsteps outside the silent Huaqing Palace, as if someone was walking back and forth in a hurry.

Xun Changqing stood in the corridor as if there was no one there, and Wei Lingci was by her side. She sometimes looked sideways at the inside of the hall, and sometimes paid attention to Xun Yi outside the hall.

When things came to this, her heart was in a heap of panic, and when she saw Concubine Xian who was slowly approaching, her heart calmed down instead.

Not only Concubine Xiangui came, but also Yuan Qingming. She hid behind the crimson pilaster until Wei Lingci came out and pulled her to the light. She said strangely: "What are you bringing me here for? When people stare at me, I feel uncomfortable.”

"Don't worry, no one cares about you, you didn't see everyone staring at the empress."

"The legacy is in her hands, so it is naturally attracting attention."

As soon as the words fell, Xun Yi entered the hall, and Wei Lingci also stepped into the hall, and then many courtiers also entered the hall, but no one dared to speak. At this time, a heavy breath could miss the amazing news.

Concubine Xian Gui has been in control of the harem for a long time, and she has a certain majesty that cannot be looked at directly. She was silent for a moment, and stood in front of the coffin. All around, said in a deep voice: "The country cannot be without a master for a day. The late emperor did write the will, but the will was never handed over to the palace."

After finishing the sentence, the whole hall was shocked.

Xun Yi stood firmly in the center of the hall, remained still for a moment, motionless, but the other courtiers became agitated first, whispering to each other.Wei Lingci and Xun Chang in the corner looked at these people quietly, and the former suddenly said: "You can know their character by seeing their expressions at the moment. If you stand close to Xun Yi, you should pay more attention in the future. "

"Why?" Xun Changqing didn't know what she was talking about. Just as he was asking, some ministers could not bear their temper. It is better to ask Pingnan King to act as an agent of the government first, and then establish a new emperor when the will is found.

After finishing the same sentence, half of the people seconded.

Concubine Xian Gui looked at these people who came out for seconding, with a cold smile on the corner of her mouth, she said lightly: "I'm afraid it's not right, why don't we find the will first."

"Your Majesty, I have searched all over the palace, but there is no trace." Xun Yi leaned over slightly, he ordered people to search for a day and a night yesterday, but there was no trace left.

Xun Yi's expression was respectful and natural, without arrogance or impetuosity, causing Concubine Xian to look sideways, he was too quiet.She was not in a hurry to speak, the hall was already in a mess, almost everyone had seen each other, she frowned indistinctly, glanced around, her eyes fell on Wei Lingci and Xun Changqing in the corner, she nodded slightly, signaling They must not be hasty.

The hall was noisy, and Wei Xiao, the Princess of Ning'an who was also dressed in white, quietly stepped into the hall and said loudly, "The legacy is here."

Not only the courtiers looked back together, but Xun Yi also looked back. Wei Xiao, who didn't know when he left the palace, came in again, holding a bright yellow will in his hand.

Everyone's hearts jumped into their throats at this moment, she stepped in slowly, held the imperial decree in front of Xun Yi's eyes, and said: "My lord, you are now the elder of the Xun family, and it is most fair for you to read the decree."

Xun Yi didn't back down, and took the imperial edict directly, unable to hide his uneasiness, Wei Xiao appeared too strange, he opened the imperial edict cautiously, the black words were indeed written by the late emperor Xun Ziqian himself, he glanced over and stared dead. The death fell on the five characters of 'Emperor Xun Changqing', her fingertips ruthlessly grabbed the precious yellow silk, and she gritted her teeth to restrain the sudden burst of fear.

He didn't speak for a long time, but the veins of anger popped out on his flushed cheeks. For some reason, everyone heard Wei Xiaolang say: "The meaning of the former emperor is said to be located in the emperor Xun Changqing."

As soon as the words were finished, a young man jumped out and accused: "Absurd, Xun Changqing is my father's daughter, how did she become an emperor's daughter? Princess Ning'an, you forged the will, which is the crime of exterminating the nine races."
