Although the days in the palace were tough, it made Fu Yanqing more sober.Although dealing with Zhao Moqian's mother and daughter made her very tired for a time, but now with the passage of time, the hatred when she was reborn and returned finally settled down.What she thinks now is to try to make herself stronger, and she must regain the kung fu of the previous life.

As for Zhao Ziyan, although he is still not favored, he is no longer unknown, staying in the deep palace and being bullied by others.Concubine Xiao Gui didn't restrain herself because of this, but for Zhao Ziyan, it was much better.

The two avoided everyone and met in private, which was the only comfort in the palace for both of them.It's just because there are too many eyeliners staring at the two of them, seeing each other is a luxury, but it is even more precious.

Just like that, it was Jingtai’s 18th Mid-Autumn Festival in a blink of an eye.The Mid-Autumn Festival, even in the palace, is also a great prosperity.According to the usual practice in previous years, Emperor Jing will hold a family banquet in the palace. Concubines of the fifth rank and above, princes and nobles, princes and princesses will all attend, and enjoy the moon and drink together in the imperial garden.

This day Fu Yanqing's spirit has been tense, just because she has waited for this day for too long.In her last life, she was able to return to the Southwest Palace until her father Fu Huai was critically ill.Before he died, Fu Huai was very regretful, because of himself, Fu Yanqing was allowed to leave the Southwest Palace alone, and suffered a lot in the palace.

At that time, Fu Huai mentioned one incident that left a deep impression on Fu Yanqing.He said that during the mid-autumn festival of the third year after Fu Yanqing entered the palace, he once asked the leader of the shadow secret guards in the mansion to pretend to enter the palace on the occasion of the Southwest Palace's entry into the palace to present her, in order to take her out of the palace.It's just that she had a close relationship with Zhao Moqian at that time, and she never left at the banquet. Later, she went directly back to Zhao Moqian's Guangling Hall, so that she missed it.

That is to say, if it is correct, it will be tonight.Fu Yanqing didn't want to stay in the palace. Although her father was aware of Emperor Jing's thoughts, he never thought that Emperor Jing was so heartless. He always had a glimmer of hope for him.In his heart, the safety of Great Xia has already surpassed everything else. Although he intends to hand over military power, the war in the southwest is endless, and the court emphasizes civility over military affairs. There are very few generals who can take on important responsibilities, so that they are delayed again and again.

Only when she breaks free from the shackles of the palace, can she strive to find a way out for the Southwest Palace, at least she won't be so unprepared that she can only wait to die.

It's just that the original plan was firm, but now it made her feel a little sad. If she left, what would Zhao Ziyan do?Will that child who is so innocent and innocent in front of her become such a repressed person in the future?Besides this question, she never understood how her father could let her leave the palace safely, and would it offend Emperor Jing?

In the turmoil of the two parties, the Mid-Autumn Festival arrived as promised.The weather in mid-autumn this year is particularly good. A round of bright moon slowly rises from the west, passing through the thin clouds a little bit, as bright as a jade plate.Hanging above the twilight-shrouded imperial city, it sprinkled down the soft light without hesitation.

Under the moonlight, the dark shadows of the imperial palace are mottled and intertwined, reflecting a different scene.The wine table in the imperial garden is displayed, and all kinds of moon cakes carefully made by the imperial chef in the palace are put on display.The surrounding palace lanterns were all lit up, decorated with colorful lights, very gorgeous, but it dispelled the moonlight all over the place.

Not long after Fu Yanqing entered the table, he excused himself from the table due to physical discomfort.Zhao Moqian originally wanted to accompany her, but Fu Yanqing shook his head: "It's already impolite for me to leave, if you leave again, His Majesty may be unhappy, and after that, it's time to admire the moon and recite poems. You have always liked these, don't you If I miss it, I'll just take a rest."

After hearing this, Zhao Moqian didn't insist anymore, and sent his followers to send Fu Yanqing away.

Fu Yanqing pretended to go back to Yunyan Courtyard to rest, but gave him some money to return to his life.During the Mid-Autumn Festival banquet in the palace, after the assassination, the guards became more stringent, but Fu Yanqing was free to walk in the palace, and wandered by the Taiye Pond near the Yunyan Courtyard under the moonlight.

There are not many guards here, and it is the closest to Yunyan Court. If he comes to find him, this must be the best place.

This place is far away from the banquet, avoiding the noise and brilliance. The moon shadow is reflected in the silent Taiye Pool, as if sinking into the bottom of the water, against the backdrop of a clear stream, peaceful and peaceful.But Fu Yanqing, who was preoccupied with things in his heart, found it difficult to enjoy the peace at this moment. After some time, there was a soft ringing in his ear, as if something pierced the night sky and brought the wind.

Fu Yanqing narrowed her eyes, turned quickly, and a black figure knelt in front of her, making a silent gesture at the same time.

Fu Yanqing looked at him, and the kneeling man said in a low voice: "The leader of the shadow guard, silent, I have seen the little princess." There is a pattern embroidered on his sleeve, which is the shadow guard logo of the Southwest Palace, which is clearly visible under the moonlight. visible.

"Silence? I know you. What are you doing in the palace? Father asked you to come?" Fu Yanqing asked urgently.

"Yes, the prince asked Wu Yan to take the princess back."

Fu Yanqing frowned: "How to go back? He will definitely find out if he sneaks out of the palace like this, but he is deceiving the emperor, and even fled privately."

Wu Yan's originally emotionless eyes flickered slightly, obviously Fu Yanqing was thinking more than he thought.

"Don't worry, the princess, the prince has his own arrangements, and he will definitely not make this decision rashly. The internal guards patrol frequently today, and I hope the princess will leave with his subordinates soon."

Fu Yanqing also knew that the time was urgent at this moment, and she should not stop being disturbed by it. Her father was not a reckless man, so he naturally had his reasons for doing so.Nodding her head, Fu Yanqing felt that the joy in her heart was not strong, but a little heavy.

At this moment, a crackling sound came from behind the shadow of the tree, Fu Yanqing's heart sank, and Wu Yan had already swept past like an eagle.His hands were like eagle claws, he directly grabbed a person, his fingers strangled the person's throat, and pulled him out. When he saw her clothes clearly, his eyes suddenly turned cold.

Fu Yanqing's heart was tense at first, but when he saw the captured person, he was taken aback for a moment, and said in a broken voice, "Be merciful!"

Wu Yan frowned, and looked back at Fu Yanqing, full of disapproval.

Fu Yanqing's eyes were dim, and she walked over quickly, looked at the pinched person with a blue face, and said in a low voice: "She won't make a sound, let her go."

The voice is not low.But he couldn't be refuted, he was startled speechless, his hands loosened, but he kept staring fiercely at the child in front of him, he didn't intend to kill anyone, the child appeared here, his identity was self-evident, and it was even more difficult to die. manage.

As soon as Wu Yan let go, Zhao Ziyan bent down, covered her mouth and became depressed. Fu Yanqing supported her and patted her on the back.

After coughing for a long time, Zhao Ziyan's eyes had turned red. She grabbed Fu Yanqing's hand, looked at her fixedly, and said in a calm voice, "You...you are leaving?"

Fu Yanqing looked at those eyes filled with countless emotions with a complicated expression, but he didn't answer her.

She could feel the hand holding her arm tightening, and even began to tremble slightly after she was silent.

Zhao Ziyan lowered her head slightly and kept breathing in. After a long time, she let go of Fu Yanqing, took a few steps back, and looked at Fu Yanqing.Then she grinned and pulled out a smile: "It's... that's great, you don't like it here, I know... I've always known it. Now... You... You can... You can go." She smiled when she spoke He spoke, but his voice trembled violently, and those eyes, as clear as moonlight, seemed to be covered with mist at this moment, stubborn and forbearing.

Fu Yanqing never thought that there were so many emotions in the eyes of an 11-year-old child, and she was so sad that it hurt her heart, and she almost couldn't help letting Wu Yan take her with her.

But this can only be impulsive, even if she is not favored, it is absolutely impossible to bring along an imperial daughter.

Fu Yanqing opened and closed his lips, but he couldn't utter a word, and she had nothing to say either.It can be said that she gave up leaving the palace for Zhao Moqian in her previous life. After going through that experience, she will never give up this opportunity. She can't let go of Zhao Ziyan, so she can only let go.

The two stood in Taiye Pond, the moonlight cast shadows from the vegetation and fell on the two of them, light and dark intertwined, just like the mood at the moment.

Wu Yan's brows and eyes flickered slightly, looking at the appearance of the princess, he has a strong relationship with this child, but there is no room for any mistakes in what happened tonight, how should we deal with her?

After a long time, Fu Yanqing took a deep breath, and said softly: "I'm going back. You are in the palace, take good care of yourself. Although Zhao Moqian is seriously ill, he is a bit stubborn and conceited because he has always been in danger since he was a child, so as long as you keep a low profile, don't reveal it." If you are sharp, you can be safe and sound. Besides, although your father does not favor you, but you are of royal blood after all, he will not really let people do things recklessly. Concubine Xiao has high demands on Zhao Moqian, and her discipline is also strict. Now Zhao Moqian does not Big, the situation is not obvious, there will definitely be conflicts between mother and daughter in the future, you need to use this to find a way out for yourself. Don't underestimate anyone, the servants, maids, and even the inner guards around you have to use them. Daddy The prince has lost power, but the second prince, mother, concubine and concubine Xian are in the midst of their family power, the second prince has already entered the court, so he must be Concubine Xiao's number one opponent, the sixth prince..."

After finishing speaking, Fu Yanqing paused: "If you can really get rid of them... then come to Dali."

For the first time, Fu Yanqing stopped hiding and explained in detail everything he could think of that could help her?Even in his previous life, he seemed inconspicuous, but in the future he was the one everyone in the harem was vying to win over. Fu Yanqing also revealed it to Zhao Ziyan intentionally or unintentionally.

Wu Yan was secretly shocked as she listened to it. It was hard to imagine Fu Yanqing's appearance and what she said at this moment. She was only 12 years old. Could it be that the imperial palace is really so powerful, but two years can make a person grow to such an extent!And although the princess didn't say it clearly, the meaning is already very clear. If His Highness can survive, the Southwest Prince's Mansion will help him in the future.

Zhao Ziyan just looked at Fu Yanqing for a moment. Fu Yanqing had no way of knowing how much she had listened to what she said, but he could only try his best to say it.In fact, she was a little self-deprecating. Without her in her previous life, Zhao Ziyan still succeeded in begging Concubine Xiao Gui in the end, and even made Zhao Moqian dare not lay hands on her. He was named the king of Shu and returned to the fief.

Saying this now is just to comfort myself, and it is also a relationship that I have been with for more than a year, and it is difficult to let go.

After she finished speaking, Zhao Ziyan pursed her lips: "I see, time is running out, you guys hurry up. It's late... the night is long and dreamy." After she finished speaking, she looked at the silent Wuyan beside her. The bitterness was all covered up, and the only thing left was the calm like a pool of water.

Wu Yan's heart skipped a beat, he naturally understood that this look was asking him to deal with her.In my heart, if the princess was not so sensible and precocious, no matter what the princess thinks, he will never let this child go, and he will never kill him, but as long as he is stupid and crazy, he will naturally not reveal the secret.Now he is hesitating, such trust is too expensive.Royal children have never had fuel-efficient lamps, what if the princess is wrong?

Zhao Ziyan could sense that Fu Yanqing would not be stupid, she turned around and looked at Zhao Ziyan: "Can I trust you?"

Zhao Ziyan looked at her and said softly, "I can lie to others, even you, but I will definitely not hurt you."

Fu Yanqing laughed suddenly, then turned around and left without a word.

Zhao Ziyan raised his foot and hurriedly followed a few steps, and suddenly said, "Fu Yanqing!"

The voice was not loud, but it suddenly became crying: "If I can't get rid of them, will you remember me?"

Fu Yanqing's heart was so stuffy that she didn't look back.He opened his mouth and said, "Zhao Ziyan, I have a bad memory. If you don't show up, I probably won't be able to remember."

Seeing that Wu Yan led Fu Yanqing into the sky in a few breaths, leaving only the swaying shadow of the tree in the moonlight, indicating that they had gone far, Zhao Ziyan chased after a few steps in a panic.A moment later, she knelt down on the ground, looked at the cold rocks on the rockery, and curled herself up into a ball. The sound of sobbing gradually sounded, and after a long time, a mournful and fragile word came out: "Mother Concubine, Ann! son again

The author has something to say: a wave of emotion in her heart urging her heart, Zhao Ziyan tentatively pecked and kissed Fu Yanqing's cheek, cruising on her smooth and tender skin little by little, and then deeply entangled with her again, the fiery soft tongue sought To its close partner, lingering endlessly.

Fu Yanqing's heart itch was disturbed by her quick and sometimes slow kisses. The coldness of the deep winter night was overwhelming, but the earth dragon in the Chonghua Palace seemed to be burning a bit. Fu Yanqing only felt hot all over. This heat made her A little impatient.

Zhao Ziyan was short of breath, and sprayed it on her face one after another, it was hot and itchy, Fu Yanqing couldn't help but want to laugh, but Zhao Ziyan suddenly moved away from the hot lips, and the next moment the earlobe, which was already hot, was sucked into the warm and moist mouth In the middle, Fu Yanqing groaned, but his laughter was cut off, and he stretched out his arms to hug Zhao Ziyan's back, and his body shivered.

The scorching heat in Zhao Ziyan's eyes became more and more intense. She bit the tender flesh in her mouth with her teeth, and began to hook gently with her hands, and then pulled it, Fu Yanqing untied the belt around her waist, and put it on after bathing. Because of her movements, her unlined clothes fell apart completely, revealing a piece of fair skin.The next moment, a muffled and soft voice came from my ear: "Qing'er, help me solve it."

Fu Yanqing's mind was in a mess, and in a trance, Zhao Ziyan sat up with her arms around her, and the two hugged and knelt on the bed.Zhao Ziyan let go of Fu Yanqing's earlobe, and his lips and tongue began to move down to her slender, fair neck, forcing Fu Yanqing to raise his head.The clothes on her body slipped down her arms, and the white single clothes piled up around her waist like a white lotus in full bloom. Her body softened into a puddle of water as if she was drunk. She could only hug Zhao Ziyan's waist and let her do whatever she wanted on her body.

Did he remember the words in his ears? Fu Yanqing groped over in a daze, and untied Zhao Ziyan's clothes. His fingertips touched the smooth, sweat-stained skin. It was so familiar and beautiful. .She raised her head slightly.Looking at Fu Yanqing, whose clothes were loose.The person in front of him at this moment, his face was covered with a beautiful blush, his glazed eyes were moist and moist, and he looked at him in a daze.Even the exposed fair skin was stained with a beautiful pink layer, making Zhao Ziyan's heart even more messy again.She kissed the delicate collarbone, and whispered: "Qing'er." Then her eyes fell on the white and beautiful softness, and she lowered her head to taste it.

Fu Yanqing was so irritated that she let out a soft moan from her nasal cavity, her voice trembling badly: "An'er, my leg...the leg hurts."

Noticing that Zhao Ziyan paused, she whispered again: "Kneeling for a long time, my knee hurts."

Zhao Ziyan took a deep breath, looked at her softly, then hugged the person and pressed down gently, releasing her legs from the awkward squeeze, kneading her knees with his fingers.Fu Yanqing looked at Zhao Ziyan, who was no longer naked, and blushed: "I'm afraid of you... afraid of your leg pain."

Zhao Ziyan laughed softly and shook his head: "If Qing'er is afraid of my pain, just cooperate with me."

Fu Yanqing couldn't bear the affectionate gaze, put his arms around her neck, and continued to kiss. The two of them pressed against each other without any distance, and a burst of heat was ignited again.

In the end, Zhao Ziyan stretched out his hand to clasp her fingers, pressed her hand against her side, and kissed her, forcing Fu Yanqing's fingers to tighten and tighten. He really couldn't bear her sweet torture, and Fu Yanqing's voice was stained with tears: " Me, Ann, let go of me, um... ha... I want to hug you."

Zhao Ziyan let go of her hand and let her hug him. Although it was her first time on it, Fu Yanqing had seen her personally in the past, plus, uh... She was afraid of hurting Fu Yanqing, so she specially studied it So much so that for Fu Yanqing, who was also unfamiliar and immature, these were enough to make her overwhelmed.

The kiss started to slide down from the chest, Zhao Ziyan slowly separated Fu Yanqing's legs, and pressed down.She could feel that Fu Yanqing tensed up suddenly, her lower abdomen was trembling and trembling, obviously Fu Yanqing was still a little nervous, with affection in her eyes, she wanted to be a little more patient, Zhao Ziyan straightened up again, leaned over to kiss Fu Yanqing softly, and coaxed in a low voice: "Qing'er, don't be afraid, open your eyes and look at me."

Fu Yanqing had never experienced this in her two lifetimes. She was very nervous when dealing with Zhao Ziyan before, and now that it was her turn, she was even more nervous.It's just that she loves Zhao Ziyan and is willing to give her everything she has. Hearing the gentle words in her ears, she panted and opened her eyes.The dark eyes that made her love so much were filled with scorching intent at the moment, but they were like a deep night sky, with little stars falling into it, so gentle that one could not wish to drown in it.Let Fu Yanqing sink into it completely, and stare at her obsessively.

Zhao Ziyan smiled brightly at her, bent down and kissed her little by little to relax her body, and touched the skin of Fu Yanqing's legs with his fingertips, rubbing it little by little until it was wet a little bit.Immediately, fingers fell into the pool of water, lightly kneaded and slowly twirled, or hooked, or turned the string, making her tremble, and hooking her to sing.When Fu Yanqing was completely intoxicated, someone vaguely said something in her ear, and a moment later there was a pain, which made her regain her sanity, and let out a low snort.

Zhao Ziyan didn't dare to move, her eyes were distressed but there was unspeakable joy, kissing her face, coaxing her in a low voice, until the person under her raised her waist in embarrassment, she smiled softly and moved, The never-before-seen experience made Zhao Ziyan unable to extricate himself.She didn't know how long she had been longing for, but she had always thought that she would never be able to have her in this life, so she kept restraining herself, but now, not only did she not have to worry about not being able to accompany her, but she also had a mother, and she always felt unreally happy.

Fu Yanqing had lost all thoughts at this moment, her body moved forward and backward following Zhao Ziyan's movements, she was like a fish swimming in the wind and waves, she could no longer control herself, drifting with the waves, being thrown up and pulled down for a while , in the square inch of heaven and earth in Zhao Ziyan's arms, she folded it over and over again.Her whole body was hearty, comfortable but also painful, her legs were involuntarily coiled around Zhao Ziyan's waist, her thoughts were chaotic and blurred, until finally like a wave came, she seemed to be thrown on the shore, gasping for suffocation, her whole body was tense, her toes could barely hold her breath. I couldn't help curling up, trembling, trembling and happy.

Zhao Ziyan's eyes were as bright as the stars, and the burning intent in his eyes was hard to conceal. Just looking at Fu Yanqing like this, her sweetheart was so beautiful that her heart trembled. When she left the gentle but dignified and reserved person, her face was red at this moment, and her eyes The water is floating, blurred and charming, but not vulgar.Although she was ecstasy when melting with her, watching her bloom at her fingertips at this moment also made her ecstasy.

Gently withdrew from her body, fingertips covered with a layer of crystals and blood, Zhao Ziyan felt distressed and satisfied, kissed her sweaty forehead, gently hugged her with one hand, and rubbed her tenderly with the other. In the twitching lower abdomen, let her relax a little bit.

It took Fu Yanqing a long time to recover. After all, it was her first attempt. This feeling made her a little unbearable for a while. Looking softly at the gentle and tender Zhao Ziyan, Fu Yanqing was shy and a little bored. It was her first time. But she was very unfamiliar, if Zhao Ziyan hadn't been drugged, she estimated that Zhao Ziyan's experience would not be much better, compared with what this person did tonight, it was simply leftovers from her play.

Zhao Ziyan kept looking at her, and felt uneasy seeing her like this: "Qing'er, what's the matter, is...is it uncomfortable?"

Fu Yanqing buried his head in her arms, shook his head, blushed slightly, it was just too comfortable.She muttered something sullenly, but Zhao Ziyan didn't hear clearly, and felt a little anxious, and asked, "What did you say?"

Fu Yanqing coughed, and then said awkwardly: "How can you be so..."

Zhao Ziyan was taken aback for a moment, and then couldn't help laughing out loud. She hugged the soft Fu Yanqing, her laughter was pleasant and sweet, but it made Fu Yanqing very embarrassed.

Fu Yanqing suppressed her embarrassment and said seriously, "Don't laugh."

Zhao Ziyan held back immediately, but his shoulders were still twitching. Before Fu Yanqing became angry, he turned over and pressed the person under him. The same exquisite body was pressed against each other closely. Fu Yanqing, who still had some feeling left, felt his body soften a little more. point.In the ear, Zhao Ziyan asked with a low smile: "So, Qing'er was very satisfied just now, right?"

"You don't know how to be ashamed." Fu Yanqing blushed almost to the point of bleeding, but remained calm.

Zhao Ziyan saw the tiredness in her brows and eyes, and immediately stopped joking. Women are always weak in this respect, especially Fu Yanqing, who is broken and a little mentally weak.Zhao Ziyan stretched out his hand to brush away the messy sweaty hair on her forehead, and said softly: "Okay, I won't trouble you anymore, are you tired?"

Fu Yanqing moved her body. Although Zhao Ziyan was very gentle, but it was the first time, she was still a little tired and sore, so she nodded slightly.

Zhao Ziyan hugged her and patted her on the back lightly: "Go to bed first, huh?"

There was still a charming atmosphere around, being hugged by her like this was comfortable and safe, and within a short while, Fu Yanqing fell into a dark and sweet dreamland.

The night was getting dark, and Zhao Ziyan was also tired, so he propped himself up, staggered to clean up for Fu Yanqing, and then fell asleep with someone in his arms.

The next day, as usual, Zhao Ziyan had to go to court, Liuli and Liuyu prepared court clothes and toiletries and entered the Chonghua Hall. It was quiet inside, which made Liuyu feel a little strange.In the past, the princess got up early to help the king clean up, so why didn't he see anyone today.

Liu Yu was afraid that the two of them would oversleep, so she entered the dormitory. When she entered, she saw the tunic thrown on the couch, and the curtains that were casually covered. There are also many, why do not understand what happened.They already knew the relationship between the two of them, and they were more shy at the moment, but they didn't think it was wrong. Just as they were about to retreat, the curtain moved, and Zhao Ziyan's deliberately lowered voice came over: "Is Liu Yu?"

Liu Yu panicked, knelt down and said, "Your Majesty, you are a servant."

"Bring in the clothes, I'm going to court. Be gentle, don't wake her up."

Liu Yu stood up and breathed a sigh of relief, but in her heart she was happy for Fu Yanqing. They had served Fu Yanqing for so many years, and Fu Yanqing was kind to them, and now she wishes her well from the bottom of her heart.Although Junshang is also a woman, being so gentle and considerate is a hundred times better than many men in this world.He responded softly, sent the clothes in, and consciously waited outside.After a while, Zhao Ziyan, who was dressed in blue uniform, came out with a wheelchair, and said in a low voice: "When the princess wakes up, tell her that I have gone to court first, and if you come back late, don't wait for me, let her eat first." Also, order the Imperial Dining Room to cook some bird's nest porridge, and white fungus soup, um, red dates and wolfberry soup, let her eat some."

Liu Yu and Liu Li memorized it carefully, and quickly agreed, but they couldn't help but want to laugh.Li Sheng is also a fine person, and he hasn't seen Fu Yanqing get up until now, so he guessed it a long time ago.When Zhao Ziyan left, he paused for a step, and asked Liu Yu and the two of them, "Your Majesty, have you got it?"

Liu Yu nodded, her cheeks flushed slightly: "Yes."

Li Sheng also laughed, and Zhao Ziyan called him outside: "Li Sheng!"

He hurriedly suppressed his smile and hurriedly followed.Although Emperor Jing didn't treat him very well, he never treated him badly, and he has been following him since he was the prince, and he is also loyal to Emperor Jing.And Zhao Ziyan was kind to him and treated him very kindly, and before Emperor Jing died, he had repeatedly told him that for Zhao Ziyan, he wished her well from the bottom of his heart.

He has never seen anything in the palace for so many years. As long as the king likes it, he will never think too much about it as a slave, but he is always worried. The king and the princess have lived together for more than a month, and they still follow the rules. I am also worried that the king will not be able to take down the princess.After all, on weekdays, the majesty is majestic in front of others, but he is very obedient in front of the princess, and now it is considered good.

Eunuch Li, who had been worrying all the time, was in a good mood, and he pushed the wheelchair very briskly, which made Zhao Ziyan feel a little baffled.

This is probably a true portrayal of the emperor's indifference to the eunuchs.
