When you wake up, you are given marriage to your nemesis

Following Luo Fengxin's questioning, a person behind the tree slowly walked out. The person's complexion was pale, and his beautiful face was covered with wet marks.

The person who came was Empress Cao whom they had just met in Qiankun Palace. She was wearing the cloud bun that court ladies often wear, and she was wearing a moon-white dress for court ladies. Her makeup had also changed slightly from before.

No one would have thought that a dignified empress would wear this attire. At first glance, she would not be able to spot it, and would just think that she was a court lady who looked somewhat like the empress.

Qiao Wan had seen Empress Cao dismissed so easily by Cui Yongfu before, and thought that Empress Cao might have guessed that this time Imperial Physician Dou's visit to Qiankun Palace was definitely not as simple as asking for a safe pulse.She had guessed in her heart that she would meet Empress Cao again after she came out, so naturally this person would not admit her mistake.

"Your Majesty... isn't it all right?"

I only heard Empress Cao asking in a trembling voice.

Qiao Wan hesitated for a moment between confessing to Empress Cao and concealing it.

Empress Cao's attire obviously sneaked out from her own palace.If she intended to reveal her conjecture to the Empress Dowager Chen, she should have invited the Empress Dowager to catch the current situation while everyone was in the Qiankun Palace.

She dressed like this and appeared here alone, Luo Fengxin could have killed her with a single blow, let alone mistook her for an assassin.

A queen who doesn't wear a phoenix crown and a phoenix robe, sneakily disguises herself and appears in front of others, is simply giving her life to others.

In the end, Qiao Wan chose to remain silent, neither admitting nor refuting.Anyway, Luo Jinhe is also awake now, and Empress Cao will find nothing if she goes to check again, let's see what she will say next.

In this case, Qiao Wan's silence was tantamount to acquiescence.Empress Cao swayed slightly, and then squatted down.

Unlike Qiao Wan who was crying before, Empress Cao bit her fingers tightly, her eyes fixed on a small open space in front of her, and tears kept flowing from her eye sockets.She hugged her knee tightly with one hand, and her body was a little convulsed because of the tightness, except for an occasional small gasp, most of the time she was so quiet that there was no sound.

This is roughly the situation of Empress Cao, Qiao Wan sighed in her heart.

Empress Cao's background determined that her relationship with the Chen family would be difficult to separate for the rest of her life. The Chen family helped her little by little to where she is today, so how could she let her fall in love with the emperor and join the emperor's camp.

She has the label of the Chen family on her body, and she is surrounded by people who are on the same boat as the Chen family. It is not easy to cultivate a few confidantes of her own under the nose of the Chen family.Not to mention that Luo Jinhe always had the old princess in his heart, even if he felt her affection and was willing to trust her, because she had too many eyeliners around her, he would not tell her many things.

It is much easier for her to treat herself as a simple tool and be kind to the Queen Mother.

However, she took a path that she couldn't tell. She could only bear with it and be careful. She didn't even dare to be upright when she cared about her husband. She even risked her life by sneaking behind trees and looking at other people's faces. Try to figure out the real situation of your husband in your attitude.

What's the trouble with this?

Qiao Wan wanted to say this to Empress Cao, but she had already asked Luo Fengxin this question last year.

Ah Feng told her that the word love can't be clearly explained by outsiders. Only Empress Cao knows whether this love is bitter or sweet.

"You took the risk to come out. Instead of squatting with us here, you might as well go and see for yourself." Luo Fengxin looked at Empress Cao and said.

She made sure that she and Qiao Wan were not followed on the way here. Empress Cao must have seen the palace servants moving things to the Huxin Pavilion and guessed that the two of them would probably pass by here, so she came to guard in advance.

Empress Cao wiped her tears away for a moment, and her voice had calmed down when she spoke again.

"I won't go." She stood up with a very calm expression. If her eyes were not slightly red and swollen, Qiao Wan would almost think that the scene just now was her hallucination.

"Based on His Majesty's temperament, the evening banquet will definitely go as usual. He won't have much time to rest, so I won't bother him. Thank you two for telling the truth, and I will leave."

Her status was embarrassing, and Qiao Wan's non-denial just now was considered the truth.As for the extent of Luo Jinhe's illness and how many days left, it was impossible to tell her, and she didn't make it difficult for Qiao Wan to ask.

Lan Xinhui has a certain amount of advances and retreats.

Qiao Wan looked at Empress Cao's back and sighed to Luo Fengxin, "If she wasn't trapped by love, she would be quite difficult as an opponent."

"Nine out of ten unsatisfactory things in this world, like you and me are very lucky."

Luo Fengxin took Qiao Wan's hand, and Qiao Wan shook it back.

After Empress Cao left, there was no one disturbing her around, Qiao Wan hugged Luo Fengxin with mixed emotions in her heart.

I don't know what method Doctor Dou used. During the dinner, Luo Jinhe looked much better than at noon. His cheeks were rosy and his eyes were bright. Although he still coughed from time to time, the courtiers who often went to the palace to face the saint We all know that the emperor's cough is just like his headache, it's just an old problem, it will happen when it's cold, and it will get better when the weather is warmer, so there's no need to make a fuss.

The Taimiao has already gone to sacrifice this morning, and only briefly sacrificed to the ancestors before the evening banquet.After Luo Jinhe led all the officials to the Lingxiao Pavilion where the portraits of the emperors of the Yu Dynasty were hung, everyone returned to the Hanyuan Hall.

The seats in the hall have been arranged.The Yu Dynasty emphasized filial piety. Luo Jinhe first invited the Empress Dowager Chen to take a seat, and then joined hands with Empress Cao to sit on the first and second seats. After the three of them were seated, the rest of the people took their seats in order of title and official rank.

Yuchao was in a period when stools and chairs had not been put into daily use for a long time, and there were still stools to sit at home on weekdays. When it came to such a special formal banquet occasion, everyone still knelt and sat on the cushions according to the ancient etiquette.

Because of this, Qiao Wan has been in this world for five years and still can't get used to this sitting position. Every time she needs to kneel and sit, she feels very uncomfortable, and these cushions are usually not plush cushions, so she doesn't even have to pull the hair Pulling, diverting attention will not work, especially tormenting people.

Fortunately, although there was no Mao this time, she still had Luo Fengxin by her side.People like her and Luo Fengxin shared a long table and sat so close that they could touch another person's sleeve when they lowered their hands.

Qiao Wan made full use of this distance, lowered her sleeves to cover both her own and Luo Fengxin's hands, and rubbed Luo Fengxin's finger bones under the sleeves.

This trick was very effective, at least Qiao Wan felt that this time was much better than when she was kneeling before, but Luo Fengxin was in a very complicated mood at this time.

In the education that Luo Fengxin had received since childhood, everyone should be solemn at such a grand banquet, and even if they were joking, their speech and behavior should not be frivolous.

And Qiao Wan touched her hand openly in public, even with a sleeve to cover it, it's a bit too sloppy!

She tried to withdraw her hand, wanting to remind Qiao Wan to pay attention to the situation, but instead of letting go, Qiao Wan held her hand even tighter, for fear that she would run away.

Luo Fengxin struggled for a moment, then relaxed his strength and let Qiao Wan touch it.

What Brother Huang said is right, I have pampered people like this, what else can I do besides continuing to pamper him?

Qiao Wan didn't know that even if she pinched the humanoid decompressor, she would still be labeled as Lang's comment. Her thoughts were not on Luo Fengxin at the moment.

Sitting opposite her and Luo Fengxin was the elder brother of the Empress Dowager Chen, King Pingxiang. She squeezed Luo Fengxin's hand while looking at the pillar of the Chen family.

The reason why the Chen family dared to be so unscrupulous in the court was that they relied on the plan of the Empress Dowager Chen internally, and externally relied on the threat of the military force of King Pingxiang. The seemingly high-ranking Grand Master Chen was actually just the spokesperson of these two.

King Pingxiang is sixty-two years old this year, so he can really afford to say that he will grow old and strong.

Qiao Wan met him once four years ago, and last year at Luo Jinhe's enthronement ceremony, and this is the third time.

Four years have passed, and King Pingxiang seems to have hardly changed at all, while Queen Mother Chen has aged a lot in this year. When the two are compared together, it is really hard to tell who is older.

King Pingxiang's eloquence is not bad, but his wife is a stickler, and she talks too much.When the couple toasted Luo Jinhe, King Pingxiang had already finished his congratulatory speech. The lady didn't know how to speak, so she didn't have to. But she thought for a while, and said, "I wish your majesty a blessing like the East China Sea." Long flowing water, longevity than Nanshan Song".

As soon as these words fell, the hall became visibly quiet.

Luo Jinhe is only 30 years old, so "longevity is not as old as Nanshan" does not sound like a compliment to him, especially since he has been sick all year round, it is even more special.

Luo Jinhe didn't show much about this, he drank the wine in his glass with a smile and looked relaxed.

The hall came alive again.

Qiao Wan's eyes flicked from his face to the face of Empress Cao who was sitting next to him.

After parting with them in the afternoon, Empress Cao went back to the palace and redressed. At this time, she was wearing a red and yellow phoenix robe with wide sleeves and a long hem. She rarely wore rich makeup on her face, which was more beautiful than they looked at noon. At that time, it will be a little less gentle and more solemn.

She looked at Princess Pingxiang with a decent smile on her face, but the knuckles of the hand holding the cup turned white due to too much force.

Qiao Wan withdrew her gaze, and whispered to Luo Fengxin, "Do you think she really wants to throw the cup at that mallet's face right now?"

Luo Fengxin followed Qiao Wan's gaze to Empress Cao.

Since Empress Cao knew that Luo Jinhe was seriously ill, she would certainly find it harsh to hear this.It was hard for her to hold back, so she just put down the cup and said to Princess Pingxiang indifferently: "Auntie rarely comes to Beijing, today His Majesty ordered the imperial dining room to cook a lot of delicacies that are not commonly seen in Huakang, and Auntie can eat more later. "

This was mocking Princess Pingxiang for talking too much. Qiao Wan and Luo Fengxin knew her feelings for Luo Jinhe, so they immediately heard the meaning of Empress Cao's words.

However, Empress Cao spoke lightly and delicately, which was more lenient and considerate than Princess Pingxiang's harsh tone. From the eyes of others, it was really unclear whether she was mocking or caring.

Others couldn't feel it clearly, but Princess Pingxiang couldn't notice it even more. She agreed with a few words cheerfully, but when she wanted to say something more, she was glared at by Empress Dowager Chen, and she finally closed her babbling mouth.

Sitting behind a table under her are her two sons of King Pingxiang—the eldest son Chen Kui and the second son Chen Yin.The two sons both looked like their father, with a thick back and a hunchback, they looked like they belonged to the Lian family.

There were many royal family members behind them, and King Yong'an and his wife were also invited to come. Qiao Wan met the eyes of the two of them, and they toasted from a distance. It was considered a family reunion to spend New Year's Eve together.

The meal lasted from Xu time to Hai time, when Qiao Wan's legs were almost numb from kneeling, and finally ended.The banquet was full of laughter from the beginning to the end, but it was hard to find out how much truth there was and how much falsehood there was.

But no matter what, the old year passed peacefully, and all the bloody storms will be brewed in the new year.

There was no curfew that night, only additional guards were sent to patrol.Qiao Wan and Luo Fengxin returned to the mansion, and together with the servants lit the candles in every room in the whole mansion, and the small lanterns in the hallway were also lit up one by one, illuminating the mansion brightly.

The Princess Mansion is not small in size. When arranging the window grilles, Qiao Wan and Luo Fengxin mainly pasted up their own room and a few other frequently used rooms. It was also the first time for Qiao Wan to visit many of the remaining rooms.

Most of these rooms have some simple furniture. If guests come, they can be cleaned and checked in directly.Qiao Wan followed Luo Fengxin down, only one room was empty.

"Is this room newly built?" Qiao Wan asked curiously.

Luo Fengxin's Princess Mansion was renovated on the basis of the former Grand Tutor's Mansion. Many places were repainted and the dilapidated roof was replaced. Only this place has neither new paint nor original Paint stains remain and it looks like it's unfinished.

The exposed wood is still relatively new. If a rough house like this that has not been painted for anti-corrosion treatment is left over from the previous dynasty, it is impossible to be in such good condition. It can only be rebuilt after being converted into the Princess Mansion.

"En." Luo Feng thought in his heart, "It was planned to be built to pile up sundries, but after going to Minzhou, there are not so many sundries to pile up."

There are always more and more things to live in, and people don't live in the mansion, so it's no wonder that Luo Fengxin's princess mansion always seems empty.

Qiao Wan nodded her head to express her understanding, and asked, "Then do we still need to light the lamp here?"

"Let's keep one." Luo Fengxin asked Nanzhu to fetch a lamp and put it in the middle of the room, then went out and locked the door, and when the oil in the lamp ran out, it would go out by itself.

The two returned to the bedroom, Luo Fengxin went out for a while, and when she came back, she held a food box in one hand and a small wine jar in the other.

"Plum Blossom Cake!" Qiao Wan opened the food box and cheered, grabbing it.

"Hot!" Luo Fengxin patted Qiao Wan's paw, but Qiao Wan didn't catch it.She put the plate on the table, and Qiao Wan put her hands on the plate to feel it, it was really hot.

"It's just out of the pot, I'm afraid you will be hungry tonight, and you will have something else to eat later."

As soon as she heard that there was food, Qiao Wan's mood immediately improved a lot. She didn't eat much at the banquet just now, but the food carefully prepared by the imperial dining room was very delicious, and she was quite impressed with King Pingxiang and others. appetizing.

Right now, in private with Luo Fengxin, candlelight, beauties, food and wine, this is enjoyment!

Luo Fengxin patted open the mud seal of the wine jar, poured two glasses of wine, the amber wine looked brighter and more beautiful in the jade wine glasses.

There was no distillation method in this era, and most of the wines had very low alcohol content. The jar Luo Fengxin brought was just like that. It smelled fragrant, but tasted a little sweet.

Qiao Wan took a sip while Luo Fengxin was pouring another glass of wine, but was warned by Luo Fengxin before putting the glass back.

Luo Fengxin filled the two glasses [-]% full, sat down opposite Qiao Wan, and the two raised their glasses.

What do you wish?

Qiao Wan thought about it, the relationship between her and Luo Fengxin was enough on their own, there was no need to ask the gods for help.And Luo Jin and Xiaobai over there both said that there was nothing they could do, and it was useless to beg, and finally the atmosphere was better, so Qiao Wan was afraid of bringing it up and causing sadness.

So--

"Just wish the world peace." Qiao Wan held the cup with a pleasant smile.

She still remembered that Luo Fengxin comforted her when she was disturbed by Zheng Wei's incident last year, saying that the current situation was difficult and it was her fault, saying, "I hope the river is clean and the sea is clean, and the time and the year are prosperous."

At that time, she had not experienced war or witnessed famine, so she did not understand this sentence deeply.What she saw and heard in Minzhou this year made her understand Luo Fengxin's mood when she said these words.

Now Luo Fengxin's wish is also her wish.I hope the world is peaceful, the common people can live and work in peace and contentment, and lovers can stay together forever.

"Okay, then I wish the world peace." Luo Fengxin smiled and clinked the glasses with Qiao Wan, and then they both raised their heads and drank the wine in one gulp.

The author has something to say: Qiao Wan: I always feel that I forgot something today, so forget about him. (Start eating mode
