Seeing that Helian Duanyan just picked up the wine glass without saying a word, Qi Chen couldn't help but said again

"If Your Majesty agrees to this matter, Qi Chen can swear here that he will treat Miss Yuyin well in the future and let her sit on the throne of empress."

Hearing this, Helian Duanyan suddenly raised his eyes slightly, and looked at Qi Chen with a very strange look.

"Does His Royal Highness think that this power can be confused with love?"

Sensing the hint of anger in Helian Duanyan's words, Qi Chen hastily explained

"It's Qi Chen's poor expression that made His Majesty misunderstand. Qi Chen didn't mean that, it's just"

Before Qi Chen could finish speaking, Helian Duanyan interrupted him calmly.

"First, Yuyin is not a gift, so there is no such thing as a reward; second, marriage is a major event in life, and she must make up her own mind. Even if I am the emperor, I can't make decisions for her."

In this era, Helian Duanyan's words were too avant-garde and challenged the tradition, Qi Chen couldn't understand and couldn't approve.

More importantly, Qi Chen knew that if Yuyin was allowed to decide on her own, she would definitely not agree to marry him.

"As the saying goes, the orders of the parents are the words of the matchmaker, but both the parents and the matchmaker must obey the will of the emperor. The emperor has orders, so why not obey them?"

Helian Duanyan's handsome eyebrows frowned slightly, and a trace of disdain flashed in his deep eyes.

"Since that's the case, His Royal Highness the Crown Prince can summon thousands of women in your country of Zhao to make you his concubine."

Qi Chen knew that his words had angered the person in front of him, Long Yan, and although he was unwilling, he did not dare to say anything else.

"If Qi Chen just said something inappropriate, I hope His Majesty will forgive me."

Helian Duanyan didn't raise his head to look at Qi Chen, he raised his wine glass straight away, and was about to drink it when he heard a slightly cold voice

"Grandpa should go to bed"

This moving voice made Qi Chen turn his head and look over, and the person who had been haunting him all this time really appeared in front of him.

It's just that the beauty's eyes never fell on him for a moment, Qi Chen just watched Yuyin walk up to Helian Duanyan intently, then raised his hand and snatched the wine glass from her hand.

"Grandfather drank too much"

Helian Duanyan raised his head slightly, and looked at Yuyin with an innocent smile.

“Just a few drinks”

Being treated as nothing by the person in his heart like this is really unbearable for Qi Chen.

"Long time no see, Jade"

"It's late at night, please come back, His Royal Highness"

Hiding a trace of sullen cold voice, he mercilessly gave the order to chase away the guests.

Qi Chen looked embarrassed, but still pretended to be gentle and polite, stood up and saluted Helian Duanyan

"Your Majesty would like to have a rest, Qi Chen will come to see you at another day"

Before leaving, I couldn't help but take a few more glances, even if it was just the back view.

"Is Yuyin angry?" Helian Duanyan asked with a slight smile.

Yuyin only kept a cold face and did not reply, but turned around and poured a cup of tea to Helian Duanyan.

Helian Duanyan reached out to take it, "It's not my fault, who made Yuyin so likable, even with this cold appearance, it's still irresistible."

"Looks like I ate too much candy today, just right"

Helian Duanyan looked up towards the entrance of the hall, and saw a court lady walking in with that familiar medicine bowl.

"It's just right, today's drink has no sugar at all, it's completely original"

Hearing this, Helian Duanyan's face immediately became extremely ugly.

"I just praised Yuyin, how could Yuyin avenge her kindness?"

Yuyin immediately replied nonchalantly, "Why didn't Yuyin realize that Master was praising Yuyin?"

Helian Duanyan knew that Yuyin was angry, not because of Qi Chen, but because she drank secretly.

If you made a mistake first, you should bear the consequences.Helian Duanyan looked at the bowl full of black soup, and with a cruel heart, she closed her eyes and solved it in one go, but the soul-stirring smell made her feel hopeless.

Yuyin also kept her promise, there was really nothing sweet or sour, so she just handed Helian Duanyan a glass of water to rinse her mouth.

Helian Duanyan glanced sideways at Yuyin who was diagnosing her own pulse, and suddenly said with emotion

"I still like that kind of carefree and carefree life, even if it is short like fireworks, at least it was once gorgeous"

The hand that was checking the pulse couldn't help trembling, Yuyin understood the meaning of Helian Duanyan's words...

The next day, after having breakfast, Qi Chen went to Prince Hong's Mansion with his entourage.

"Hua Chang has met His Royal Highness the Crown Prince"

"You and my brothers and sisters, why do you have to be like this?" Qi Chen signaled Hua Chang not to be so formal.

Hua Chang couldn't help but smiled, "Congratulations to the fourth brother, I got what I wanted."

"Shang'er contributed a lot to my brother being able to come to this day"

"Shang'er doesn't dare to take credit for it," Hua Chang said while brewing fragrant tea for Qi Chen himself.

"Fourth brother will always remember Chang'er's affection," Qi Chen said seriously.

"You and my brother and sister, why do you have to do this?" Hua Chang said, both of them laughed at the same time.

"Father, mother and concubine are all well and good," Hua Chang asked suddenly.

"It's all good, I just miss you very much," Qi Chen took a sip of the tea ceremony.

"Shang'er misses them too," Hua Chang said with a rare expression of sadness.

"Then you'll be free some other day, so go back and see us with His Highness King Hong." Qi Chen couldn't help comforting him, "I'll take good care of them too."

"Is he not in the mansion at the moment?"

Hua Chang nodded, "Perhaps after the early court, he was called to discuss matters by the emperor again."

"Today is different from the past. He is not only the emperor's younger brother, His Royal Highness King Hong, but also a general who holds 20 soldiers in his hands. The emperor naturally relies on him."

"The greater the power, the greater the responsibility", Hua Chang said suddenly.

Perhaps the two of them thought of some not-so-good memories, and there was a trace of solemn atmosphere in the air.

"Let's not talk about that," Qi Chen suddenly smiled and changed the subject, "He treats you well."

"Um"

Hua Chang nodded almost without hesitation. Although this man was not as witty, considerate and talented as that man, he was also a real man who was free, unrestrained and full of pride.

He is impeccable with Huashang, basically follows her in everything, she does whatever she wants, and never says a word.

Even if Hua Chang had another place in his heart, Helian Duanyan was completely blind and as if he didn't know, which made Hua Chang feel a little at a loss.

Seeing Hua Chang's appearance completely immersed in his own world, Qi Chen couldn't help teasing her and said,

"It's not easy, it's actually able to take back our Princess Huashang's wandering heart"

How could Hua Chang, who was as cunning as a fox, be easily made fun of by Qi Chen.

"The fourth brother's heart, can you take it back?"

Qi Chen sighed, "Fourth Brother, I'm afraid I won't be able to get back this heart", and then looked up at Hua Chang, "Shang'er is willing to help Fourth Brother".

This time, Hua Chang did not agree to Qi Chen's request without hesitation as before, but frowned and remained silent.

"Even Shang'er won't help me?" Qi Chen asked disappointedly.

Hua Chang looked up at Qi Chen with a serious and serious expression that he had never seen before.

"If it was before, Chang'er would definitely agree to the fourth brother without hesitation. But now, Shang'er wants to persuade the fourth brother to let go as soon as possible."

"Why", Qi Chen didn't understand.

"If a person's heart is not on you, even if you get it, there will only be pain, not only her, but also you, fourth brother"

"I don't believe it! As long as I can get her, I can make her like me!" Qi Chen looked into Hua Chang's eyes and said, "Just like you and King Hong".

"It's different," Hua Chang sighed helplessly, "At the beginning, I was indeed attracted by the face, demeanor and talent of today's Majesty, and fell in love with her, but fourth brother should know, the more important reason is that she Can help the fourth brother ascend to the supreme position. In the end, Shang'er doesn't have too much affection for her."

Therefore, when Hua Chang had no choice but to marry Helian Duanyan, although she also felt depressed, lost, sad and sad, she never felt heartbroken and unloved.

This is what Hua Chang realized later when she saw Qingyue's reaction after the death of King Qian. It turned out that she did not love that person as she imagined.

"But Yuyin is different. Since she was seven years old, her heart has been completely tied to that person. Even though that person already has her own heart, her heart has never been shaken. How will the fourth brother make that firm If the rock-like existence is erased from her heart?"

Went away full of hope, but returned disappointed.

But Qi Chen was not reconciled, he was just a woman, he didn't believe that he would not even get a woman if he was the crown prince of a country and the emperor of the future.

The affairs of the world are nothing more than a right and a word of benefit.

Qi Chen didn't believe that Helian Duanyan would not be moved by her.

then

In the afternoon of that day, Helian Duanyan received a letter from Qi Chen not long after waking up.

At that time, Yuyin was also beside her, but she didn't even look directly at her, acting as if she had nothing to do with her.

Helian Duanyan couldn't help laughing, and then opened the letter.

After seeing the contents of the letter, the smile on the corner of his mouth could not help but bring a little contempt, but when he looked at Yuyin, his eyes were full of teasing.

"Now I know what it means to overwhelm a country and a city. In order to obtain Yuyin, he did not hesitate to promise me three cities in Dayan."

Yuyin first handed Helian Duanyan a cup of tea, and then took a cup for herself.

"Then this is less."

After saying this lightly, he went to taste the tea in the cup by himself.

Helian Duanyan also took a sip of the tea in the cup, "It is indeed too little, how can the prince of a country be so stingy."

After finishing the words, he called out to the outside of the hall, and soon Li Si walked in.

"Find someone to bring the words, and say, 'If I want it, why should I give it to him, just take it'".

Yuyin changed hands and put down the teacup, then looked up at Helian Duanyan, and said lightly

"My master is so arrogant and arrogant, aren't you afraid that he'll become a beauty with a rage"?!"

Hearing this, Helian Duanyan couldn't help raising the corners of his mouth evilly, "I haven't seen it yet, I just want to see it."

Three days later, the prince of Zhao State returned to the territory of Zhao State with his envoys.

As the saying goes, once you enter the palace gate, it is as deep as the sea.

Ever since she was canonized as the head of the harem, Sang Qingyi began to live in the harem with anticipation and loneliness every day.

Although she is a queen and the only woman in the emperor's harem, she still guards the vacant room by herself every day.

The emperor Xu was too busy with state affairs, so he stayed directly in the Qianqing Palace every night.

Every day one person wakes up, one person falls asleep, one person drinks tea, one person eats, one person watches the sun rise and set in the east, and one person looks at the branches on the moon and then hides in the morning light.

Helian Duanyan had never stepped into Zhengyang Palace, so Sang Qingyi had no choice but to go to Qianqing Palace to meet her, but every few words, there was only silence, or just knelt down.

But even so, Sang Qingyi still thought, she wanted to see Helian Duanyan every day, even if she didn't whisper softly, or look affectionately, as long as she could see that person standing in front of her, she would be happy. enough.

However, even Shangguan Ziyi could see the awkwardness and estrangement of the two of them.

"Is there something wrong with Yan'er?"

Shangguan Ziyi's voice suddenly rang beside her ears, startling Sang Qingyi, who was in a trance, turned her head, and saw Shangguan Ziyi walking beside her at some point.

Sang Qingyi gave a forced smile, "No, Grandmother."

Hearing this, Shangguan Ziyi pretended to be angry and stared at her eyes, "Do you think Aijia is old and her eyesight is dim? Before this, she always came with you to pay my respects, but now, you all come here alone. What else can you do if you are not awkward."

Sang Qingyi closed her eyelids slightly, and after a while, she quietly replied

"The emperor is probably busy with state affairs, so he can't come with his concubines to pay respects to the emperor's grandmother."

Shangguan Ziyi looked at Ke Rener in front of her, and couldn't help feeling distressed in her eyes, she sighed slightly and said,

"Don't worry too much, it's good for you and her. She is the emperor now, and although she can't treat you as before, she won't treat you badly. To become a woman in this harem, you have to learn to open your heart , to accept all good and bad"

A gust of hot wind blew by, and the cicadas on the branches suddenly became very noisy.

Sang Qingyi also thought about what Shangguan Ziyi said, especially in the recent period, more than once.

If one day, when there are three thousand beauties in the harem, how should she deal with herself? !

Or what should she do when Yuyin is the only one besides her? !

Sang Qingyi knew that Yuyin was a very special existence to that person. She had been with him day and night since she was a child, and she was actually very grateful in her heart. She was grateful that Yuyin had always been by that person's side.

Yuyin should be that man's wife!For a long time, Sang Qingyi felt that she accepted it.However, whether this should be accepted and whether it can be accepted are two different things.

No matter how hard Sang Qingyi persuaded herself, she still couldn't resist the "jealousy" that a woman is born with...

Returning from Yunsheng Palace to Zhengyang Palace, Sang Qingyi still couldn't get out of those chaotic thoughts, until Ruyu's slightly anxious voice rang beside her ears.

"Your Majesty, I heard that the Emperor was furious at the court just now."

When she heard that person, Sang Qingyi suddenly came back to her senses, stared into Ruyu's eyes and asked

"Why so"

"It is said that there are ministers to play, so that the emperor can enrich the harem as soon as possible, and spread branches and leaves for the emperor"

Hearing this, Sang Qingyi frowned slightly, that person didn't like other people to point fingers at such things, how could he not be angry.However, after thinking about it, I couldn't help but feel a little happy in my heart.

However, more people were still worried, worried that Helian Duanyan would lose his temper, thinking of this, Sang Qingyi suddenly turned around and walked out of the hall.

"Go to the Qing Palace"

at this time

In Qianqing Palace, Helian Duanyan still couldn't hide his anger.

"This group of pedantic old bastards is to help me govern this country well, what else do I have to say about the rest! They even take care of my family affairs, and they have to point fingers there!"

Yuyin poured a cup of tea very calmly and handed it to Helian Duanyan, "For someone else, marrying a wife and having children is just a family matter, but as the emperor, the matter of the emperor's heir is a state matter, and even more important."

"I'm not the same as the former emperor!" Helian Duan said with air, "For me, this is a family matter, and outsiders are not allowed to talk too much!".

"Then I have to give them time, let them slowly understand and accept"

"You haven't seen them in the early court, I'm afraid I'll be pissed off by them before they understand!" At the end, Helian Duanyan directly poured the cup of tea into his mouth.

Yuyin reached out to take the teacup, "Some of those ministers are really doing this to protect Dayan's country forever, but some just want to take this opportunity to become relatives of the emperor."

Seeing Helian Duanyan frowning there, Yuyin couldn't help but said again

"This matter has happened in all dynasties, and you don't have to be so angry. Besides, this is also human nature. People go to high places."

Yuyin took off the dragon robe for Helian Duanyan, and then changed into a clean and bright white brocade suit.

"If you don't want to do more practical things for the court, just think about these crooked ways!"

"Since ancient times, which emperor is not the Sangong and Liuyuan, and the concubines gather here"

As Yuyin spoke, she turned to the front and lowered her head slightly to tie the jade belt around Helian Duanyan's waist.

"Does Yuyin also think that I should expand this harem?"

He raised his head and looked into Helian Duanyan's dark and stern eyes, "If I want to keep my ears clean, I can only confer concubines and concubines, but Yuyin also knows that I will definitely not do this, because I don't want to delay those women. life".

Slightly closing his eyelids, "More importantly, there is only one person I can let go of in my heart, how could I make that person sad like this?" '.

He quickly retracted the sadness in his eyes, and when he raised his eyes, there was no sound again.

"It's not impossible for me to love only one person in my life, but the matter of the emperor's heir cannot be avoided."

Seeing Helian Duanyan looking at her with her lips tightly pursed, Yuyin continued to speak.

"If there is an emperor's heir, even if I only marry the empress, I can still stop that Youyou's mouth, otherwise, the empress will become the target of public criticism."

Since ancient times, the emperor's heirs withered, all the spearheads would be directed at the concubines in the harem, and they would not and would not dare to question the emperor.

It is already a sin for the empress to fail to give birth to an heir for the emperor. If she "charms" the emperor to monopolize her grace, she will become that beauty's disaster and eternal sinner.

With a bang, the teacup on the table was swept to pieces.

"It just doesn't make sense!"

Helian Duanyan could only feel a ball of rage burning in his heart, which made his heart ache.

No matter what it is, as long as she is involved, the person in front of him will lose his mind.

Yuyin just wanted to persuade her, but when she looked up, she saw the veins on Helian Duan's forehead bulging, and her face was also very strange.

"Grandpa"

"The empress has arrived"

When Sang Qingyi walked into Qianqing Palace, Yuyin was wiping the sweat off Helian Duanyan's forehead with a silk scarf, and the two were very close.

Seeing Sang Qingyi coming in, the two turned their heads in unison.

"I have seen the empress", Yuyin stepped back two steps to the side.

Sang Qingyi withdrew her gaze, saluted Helian Duanyan

"The concubine has seen the emperor"

Yu Helian Duanyan and Yu Sang Qingyi are both unfamiliar names and words.

Yuyin originally wanted to leave quietly, but when she saw Helian Duanyan's expression that was not right, she gave up the idea.

Helian Duanyan looked at Sang Qingyi with deep frowns, "Why is the queen here?".

Hearing this, Sang Qingyi couldn't help but look up at the person not far away, it wasn't her illusion, this person was unhappy with her sudden appearance.

"Concubine", Sang Qingyi took a deep breath, "I want to invite the emperor to have breakfast together in the concubine's palace."

Looking at the two people who are so awkward, Yuyin still thinks it is better to leave first, but Helian Duanyan stops her.

"Yuyin, you stay"

After Helian Duanyan said this, he turned to look at Sang Qingyi who was standing in the hall.

"I am eating here, the queen kneels down"

The words without warmth and the merciless rejection made even Yuyin, who was watching from the side, feel heartbroken.

Sang Qingyi's complexion didn't seem to be different, but instead showed a faint and touching smile.

"The concubine will not bother the emperor." Sang Qingyi smiled and looked at Helian Duanyan's expressionless face, "Please eat well, the emperor, and pay attention to the dragon's body."

When Sang Qingyi turned around, Yuyin seemed to hear the sound of tears falling, that smile was so touching, yet so sad.

How ruthless must this man have to be to hurt her like this.

When Yuyin turned her head, as expected, what she saw was a face that was more enduring the pain, the eyes that were unwilling to move away for a long time, the lips that were bitten tightly, and the fists that were clenched tightly.

He stretched out his hand and gently grabbed Helian Duanyan's arm, before he could utter words of comfort.

"Pfft~~~"

The air that still had the faint fragrance of Sang Qingyi's body was suddenly and quickly soaked in the smell of Helian Duanyan's blood...
