III Jiangshan

When Yuan Youqi woke up, Fengrou had disappeared.

She sat up from the couch, stared at the mandarin ducks playing with the water bed curtain that she had torn apart with sleepy eyes, and stared blankly for a while.

The long and continuous sound of silk and bamboo fluttered into her ears from the corridor, and she didn't know which Yin Ji or Yin Guan in the building was serving the guests.Suddenly, in the midst of the lingering sound, several stringed zither sounds broke out, overshadowing the luxuriant silk and bamboo bursts, very eye-catching.

Yuan Youqi listened intently for a while, the more he listened, the more familiar the fingering and rhythm became.Then, she frowned, feeling uneasy in her heart——

It was a song "Phoenix Seeking the Phoenix", played by Feng Rou.

The so-called "the sound of the piano is the sound of the heart", you can know your state of mind by listening to the sound of the piano.This lingering piano piece of love actually made Fengrou play it in an impassioned manner, showing a posture of recklessness and no hesitation on the road of love.

The more Yuan Youqi listened to it, the more disturbed she felt, and her heart became even more disturbed. The shadow of the person she had been thinking about since she was sensible, was lingering in her mind no matter what, and the more she missed it, the more unforgettable it was .

"Xiao Tang!" Yuan Youqi shouted suddenly.She had to do something, or she was going to be bored.

"Hey!" With a crisp response, a neatly dressed and rather smart-looking fair boy pushed the door open and entered.

"Master Jiu, are you awake?" Tang Xi respectfully saluted Yuan Youqi.

"No." Yuan Youqi murmured in reply, rubbed against the side of the couch, and bent down.Standing up, he reached for his boots on the floor.

Tang Xi was very winking, and had already rushed forward, carrying two boots, putting them on Yuan Youqi's feet, and helping Yuan Youqi straighten the wrinkled corners of his clothes.

"What time is it?" Yuan Youqi asked.

"It's noon in a minute," Tang Xi said courteously, "Master, are you hungry?"

Actually fell asleep for more than an hour in a daze?Yuan Youqi shook his head.She has no appetite to eat.

"Did you leave early?" She said vaguely to herself.

Tang Xi's ears were sharp, and he immediately responded, "At this hour, it's time to leave."

Since the early court is gone, the matter has come to fruition, right?

Yuan Youqi drooped his head, fingers helplessly twisting the "卍" character purse on his waist, surrounded by four bats and a few pink and plump peaches.

It was given to her when Gu Heng embroidered it with his own hands when she turned 15, saying that he wished her a long life and a smooth and healthy life.

Yuan Youqi actually didn't like this pattern, she hoped that Gu Heng could embroider "Pisces" and "Double Butterflies" and the like, which symbolized the joy of love between two people, just like the old lady of the Qi family gave it to the seventh brother. the kind of...

Yuan Youqi's mood became even worse, she walked away and walked out.

Tang Xi had served this master since he was a child, and he knew her temperament very thoroughly. Seeing her silent and aggressive appearance, he knew it was not good, so he hurriedly ran a few steps and stopped in front of the door.

"Master, where are we going?" Tang Xi grinned along with the smiling face.

Yuan Youqi's face was so cold that water could be wrung out, and he said coldly, "Gu Fu!"

Tang Xi shuddered, he didn't dare to forcefully stop him, so he said anxiously: "Master, you haven't entered the palace yet to greet the concubine Xian!"

Yuan Youqi's face sank like water, and he said coldly: "It's not too late to go to the Gu Mansion and greet the concubine mother!"

As she said, she made a gesture to push Tang Xi away, and was about to rush out the door.

Tang Xi was so frightened that he was sweating, he hurriedly knelt down on his knees, grabbed Yuan Youqi's lapel tightly, and said mournfully, "Master! Have you forgotten what the concubine Xian said?"

Naturally remember!

From the day when the father revealed his intention to marry Gu Heng, the mother and concubine did not allow herself to go to Gu's mansion privately.

Yuan Youqi didn't understand, his father was more than [-] years older than Gu Heng, and there were so many talented and beautiful women in the aristocratic family, why did he just take a fancy to Gu Heng?And according to the meaning revealed by the mother and concubine, the father and the emperor will make Gu Heng the queen and enter the main palace, with a stubborn attitude that cannot be changed.

And the mother and concubine who always loved her, actually ordered herself strictly: Never go to Gu's house privately again!

Yuan Youqi couldn't figure out how much her mother and concubine saw her unusual affection for Gu Heng, but even if she put aside those things, was it wrong for her to even meet Gu Heng?Obviously the two of them grew up together, and Gu Heng has always been kind to himself, protecting himself to the utmost.

Thinking of this, Yuan Youqi felt even more afraid: What if the father really insisted on marrying Gu Heng regardless of the objections of the officials?If Gu Heng really enters the lord's middle palace, and his mother honors the world, then... what should I do?

Could it be...Could it be that from now on, she will call her "mother's queen"?

The more Yuan Youqi thought about it, the more afraid he became, and the more he thought about it, the more he dared not think about it.

She must, must immediately ask Gu Heng: Do you really want to marry a man who is more than 30 years older than herself?

If you don't want to... If you don't want to, she will ask her: Will you marry me?

On impulse, Yuan Youqi kicked Tang Xi away who was in the way, and flung open the door recklessly——

But he greeted the people outside the door.

That man was a fat, beardless man in his forties, and the smile on his face was in sharp contrast to Yuan Youqi's pale and cold face.

"Jiu Ye!" The smile lines on the man's face deepened, his small eyes were slit into two, and he bowed to Yuan Youqi steadily.

"This old servant is here to welcome you back to the palace according to your mother's orders!" the man said humanely.

"Pan Fu?" Yuan Youqi frowned into a knot.She knew that she might not be able to go to Gu's residence today.

This Pan Fu is the Chief Inspector of Fengyi Palace, a person trusted by her mother and concubine.Since he came, it was the concubine mother who made up her mind not to allow her to disobey.

Although Yuan Youqi has been favored by her father and mother since she was a child, but because of that ulterior secret, she is not like an ordinary spoiled child, she has lost her sense of proportion in the world.On the contrary, she does things with great brains.Under Concubine Wei Xian's careful upbringing, she learned at a young age not to hesitate in what should be done, and never to be a rafter in what should not be done.Her father doted on her very much, and also liked her temperament very much. He often said: "Jiulang is the most like when I was young!"

Only when it comes to matters related to Gu Heng, Yuan Youqi will lose his sense of propriety and become impulsive frequently.

Fengyi Palace, originally the residence of Prince Chengyin's birth mother, filial piety to Empress Zhen Ding, is the residence of Zhonggong.

After Ding gave birth to the prince, he passed away.She is the wife of Emperor Wei Yuan, and also a young couple. She gave birth to Lin'er, and is also the eldest son. Naturally, she was established as the East Palace without any suspense.

Because the prince lost his mother in his infancy, it was very pitiful that no one would take care of him, so Emperor Wei entrusted him to the care of Li Shi, the concubine of Defei in Zhaoyang Palace.This concubine Li De is the younger sister of Li Zhihuan, the censor Zhongcheng.She later gave birth to the fifth son, Taiping.Emperor Wei was grateful for her contribution to raising the prince, and treated Taiping well.

However, this Fengyi Palace has been vacant since the former Empress Ding's death.Until 16 years ago, the current concubine Wei Xian had the ninth son of the emperor, Yuan Youqi, a concubine who had jumped from Zhaorong to a first-rank concubine. The Wei emperor actually rearranged the palace and ordered Wei Xianfei to live with the ninth son.

Later, as Yuan Youqi grew up, Emperor Wei not only doted on her more and more, but also handed over almost all the affairs of the harem to Concubine Wei Xian.Facing the harem, countless pairs of eyes watched how the mother and son became more and more popular, and watched Wei's daughter, who was not outstanding in the past, now have the same status as the deputy queen.Even Ding Feng, the right minister who has been a minister for more than forty years, can't figure out the reason for this.

Therefore, although the Great Wei has the well-known His Royal Highness the 28-year-old Crown Prince, there is also the well-known most beloved youngest son, His Highness the Ninth Prince.

Since the crown prince, the names of their brothers have all been sequenced with the word "Cheng", but when they came to His Highness the Ninth Prince, they were born with the name "Youqi".Emperor Wei feared that his youngest son would not be blessed enough, so he gave him a baby name, "Baoxiang".It can be seen how much he loves him.

At this time, the 16-year-old Yuan Youqi had followed Pan Fu back to Fengyi Palace angrily.

"Mother Concubine, my son greets Mother Concubine!" Even though she was unhappy, her courtesy was not bad at all, just like when greeting her every day, she knelt down respectfully and kowtowed.

Only this time, Concubine Wei Xian was not the same as in the past, she didn't wait for her to be sincere and made her stand up, but stared at the obvious folds of her robe with a sullen face, and said sharply: "Baoxiang, do you know your mistake? "
