Yangcheng

Wei Xi was originally talking to someone, when his palm became hot, Tong Shaozhuo grabbed it.

The two sat side by side behind the long desk, and the thick hem was placed on the knees, covering their hands.

No one noticed Tong Shaozhuo holding her hand.

Wei Xi glanced at Tong Shaozhuo silently, the delicate, tender and charming concubine Tong Gui was really strange to her today.

The intimacy between the grips was a bit self-willed, and then he refused to let go, and he didn't know why, what kind of temper he was playing.

Wei Xi is much older than her. Putting aside her status as a monarch and minister, Tong Shaozhuo is just a little girl in her eyes.

Recalling that when she was a little girl, she acted like a baby without saying a word.

It's best to be in the public eye, with your loved one in a place where others can't notice, to taste a little bit of affection, and you can be happy all day long.

Changyun likes it, just let her hold it.

Wei Xi didn't take his hand out, and continued to let her go.

In the eyes of everyone, the emperor and the imperial concubine are dignified and elegant, and their gestures are full of grace.But in the invisible place, Tong Shaozhuo has changed from holding the emperor's hand to interlocking her fingers.

Tong Shaozhuo carefully touched Wei Xi's fingertips with his fingertips, feeling the temperature and details on her fingers.

Wei Xi's fingers are long and slender, very well maintained like light white, just like her face.Even though she is 36 years old, her skin is still as firm as fat, her calm face at any time and her eyes like a deep lake make people feel that no matter what happens to her, she will never show any surprise or panic.

Wei Xi is like a hundred-year-old man. He is no longer young, but he is deep and subtle, deep and enlightened. He has not sunk down and slackened, but is more powerful.

Tong Shaozhuo thought that he had made outstanding military achievements over the years, and he was awarded the rank of lieutenant because of his work in the saddle armor.

That's how she walked step by step.

Sister Wei is the same.

Because of the pain of the past, she was shaped into who she is today.

Tong Shaozhuo loves and admires her.

……

This noble concubine banquet was seen by everyone in the court. This Tong noble concubine was not the same as the rumored one. She was unexpectedly dignified and followed the emperor all the way, maintaining a calm expression. smile.

This Concubine Tong Gui was originally tall and slender, almost as tall as the emperor, but she was rather majestic in the army all the year round, she smiled like a spring and beautiful, and when she was not smiling, she was solemn.

Some people commented in private that this Concubine Tong Gui possessed a natural virtuous and dignified aura.

It has already exceeded the appearance of a noble concubine, but it looks like that...

queen.

Every time there was a banquet, Wei Xi would drag Wei Ci to chat with the courtiers and their families.

One reason is that Wei Ci wants to collect more information and grasp the dynamics of the family of important ministers, and the other reason is to show the friendship between their sisters.After all, Wei Ci was the crown prince back then, and after being deposed, it is inevitable that someone will provoke her relationship with the emperor behind her back. The sisterly affection between the two of them is also a warning to those with ulterior motives.

Wei Ci also came today.

Not only did they come, but they also dressed up in a very novel way. The skirt they wore was a color that they had never seen before.It's not garish, but soft accents and bold accessories are sure to turn heads no matter where they're worn.

Among the golden branches and jade leaves and the female family members of the aristocratic families present today, which one has not prepared for a long time, and wants to compete in the imperial concubine banquet, and stand out from the crowd.

But no matter how hard she tried, when she saw the eldest princess, those delicate little flowers were immediately set off by her, and they were all reduced to vulgar fans.

Even Wei Xi admired Wei Ci's makeup and accessories today:

"My sister is eye-catching today, she is not the same as before."

"Oh? Is it good-looking or ugly?" Wei Ci was happy, a little knowingly asking.

Wei Xi took the opportunity to praise her more.

Wei Ci was even happier. When he smiled, there were a few wrinkles at the corners of his eyes, which did not hide his flaws, but because of those wrinkles, he added more experience and calmness.

"Your Majesty, don't coax me, keep your mouth so sweet to tease Concubine Tong."

Wei Xi naturally knew that Tong Shaozhuo and Tong Shaoxuan looked very similar. After seeing Song Qiao, he was even more amazed that these beautiful eyes were almost in the same line.

Previously, Wei Ci didn't like to see Tong Shaoxuan very much, and he didn't want to see her very much, after all, he didn't want to see her face similar to someone else.

Today's imperial concubine banquet not only has Tong Shaoxuan, but also her mother and sister. These three faces appearing together, I am afraid that Wei Ci will be blocked.

Originally, Wei Xi thought that his sister would not come to the Imperial Concubine Banquet, but Wei Ci offered to say that he would come.

Not only to come, but to dress up.

Although she didn't sit close, there was an accordion set up on the other side, and she sat in the accordion with a few retainers, but when looking from a distance, she would still accidentally see Tong's family up and down.

Halfway through the banquet here, Wei Xi missed his sister, so he came to find Wei Ci alone.

However, seeing Wei Ci, Tao Wanzhi and several retainers in the Ya Ge were really drunk and happy, not at all unhappy.

This puts my mind at ease.

Wei Ci held the emperor's arm, and the two of them circled among the officials as usual, seemingly idle, but in fact they were looking for rumors from all walks of life.Afterwards, Wei Xi greatly praised his sister's beauty.

Seeing the sweetness of the emperor's mouth every day, Wei Ci was naturally in a good mood when he said these kind words to her.

But there is no need to continue like this, Wei Ci still has to instruct the emperor on some matters.

"Needless to say that this pleases me, Your Majesty, just let that person go back to Boling. This is a major matter that concerns the country, how can I get confused on this matter. I will neither hide from her nor Going to find her, in the huge Boling Mansion, it is not so easy to bump into someone. If I meet her, I will treat her as a stranger."

Wei Ci and Wei Xi stood on the wide viewing platform with stone fences beside the Mingjiang Lake.This is the best place to see the river view. When you look up from a distance, you can see the extreme waves and the bleak autumn wind, which makes you feel sad.

With the wind blowing on his face, Wei Ci said: "She has been away from me for too long, so long that I can no longer remember her appearance."

Even though the Tong family occasionally reminded her with that face, there is still a difference in the end.

It's just that the faces are similar, not exactly the same.

Wei Ci once recalled the exact face of that person in the afternoon when no one was there, and in half-dreams. Whenever he remembered it, what he thought of was more the atmosphere, tone and charm of her teaching.

As for the details, they have been replaced by the face of her descendants.

Wei Ci understands that this is the power of time, pushing people to forget step by step.

Wei Xi understood that her sister was trying to forgive her and not make things difficult for her.

"Thank you, sister, for your understanding. However, my imperial edict has already arrived in Zhu County, but the grandson Yin has not responded for a long time. I don't know if I need to invite her personally before I am willing to leave the mountain."

Wei Ci said: "She has always put the safety of her family first. She resolutely left Boling at the beginning to keep her family. Now the situation in the center is complicated. If she comes back, she will definitely hang her family's head on the knife of political enemies again. Excuse me. Since she has long thought of retiring, she will not be so easily persuaded. That's why I said earlier that she will not return to Boling."

Wei Xi said in a joking tone: "That is contempt for the imperial power. She is afraid of being attacked by political enemies, so isn't she afraid of my crime?"

Wei Ci thinks about it, Changsun Yin is a tough person, and he will never do what he doesn't want to do no matter what.

Maybe I'm not afraid.

The two chattered a lot, even though there were many things to be resolved, Wei Xi still didn't feel too worried.

Wei Xi took the initiative to step forward to hold Wei Ci, leaning his head on her shoulder, relying on her like he did when he was a child.

Wei Ci smiled and said: "Your Majesty, if you let others see it, your majesty's holy prestige will be lost."

The guards got closer.

"Your Majesty seems to be in a good mood recently."

"Have it?"

"It's not just me, I'm afraid others have noticed it too. That Tong Er behaved perversely. I thought she would make His Majesty worry, but I didn't expect her to please His Majesty."

Speaking of a strange person like Tong Shaozhuo, Wei Xi recounted all the incidents of Lan Yurong being punished by Tong Shaozhuo in recent days. It's a matter of the head.

Wei Ci was dumbfounded when he said it.

"Lan Yurong is also unlucky to meet such a formidable enemy who doesn't act according to common sense. It is estimated that Lan's family will start to worry about this."

Wei Xi said: "Originally Lan Wan and Lu Jian were supposed to attend today's banquet, but Lu Jian was not in good health a few days ago and asked for leave many times. Yesterday Lan Wan reported that Lu Jian was too sick to get out of bed. Taking care of my wife at home, I'm afraid I won't be able to attend the imperial concubine banquet."

Wei Ci snorted coldly: "Since the iron smelting incident, Lan's behavior has become more and more careful. I am afraid that if we accidentally reveal more flaws, we will kill them in one fell swoop. They are going to hibernate."

Wei Ci looked at the face of the Hunhun River and narrowed his eyes slightly: "The day when Changsun Yin returns to Boling is the time for us to really raise our strength."

After the imperial concubine's banquet, Lan Yurong said that she was sick, and she was sick along with her little princess, and sent someone to tell the emperor the news that their mother and daughter were about to die of illness.

The Son of Heaven didn't arrive, so he replied with four words - rest in peace.

Let it go.

On the contrary, Lan Yurong almost got sick from anger.

Lan Yurong couldn't sleep all night, and the little princess cried every night, which made her heart more restless, her forehead throbbed with pain, and the pain made her panicked, her heart felt like a big stone was pressing on her, and she wanted to shake it again and again. Can't get rid of it.

She didn't like children in the first place, but in order to restrain the emperor and change the country's surname, Lan Yurong still insisted on giving birth to the child.

Yulu Pill was not a good thing for her, and it made her feel miserable and miserable during the year of taking it.

Then there was the devastation of pregnancy in October. Lan Yurong originally thought that she would be able to exchange for a lifetime of glory, and she could cover the sky with this child, but...

Everything was going out of control where she hadn't expected it at all.

She regretted it, regretted that she had accepted Aye's words and entered this palace to suffer.

She thought that everything would be fine after giving birth to a princess, but unexpectedly, this was the beginning of her nightmare.

Today, she still doesn't know who said something - Concubine Lan was going well, why did the world turn upside down after giving birth to the little princess?

This little princess must be an ominous omen.

Maybe some evil spirit was reincarnated specifically to harm her.

Yeah, why didn't I think of this earlier?

Lan Yurong grabbed the handrail.

She suddenly remembered Na Ruo Zhaoyi.

Ruo Zhaoyi is extremely beautiful, and before entering the palace, she seems to have gotten very close to some alchemy priests, and her mouth full of mysterious fate is very evil.

The last time I had some conflicts with her, Lan Yurong was pregnant again, and there was no place to vent the evil fire in her belly, so she fell in love with her.

Lan Yurong is used to being domineering, so does little Zhaoyi do it just as she pleases?

She intentionally charged Ruo Zhaoyi with the crime of poisoning the harem and hiding sorcery, and beat Ruo Zhaoyi and her personal maid [-] times so hard that her slender willow waist was almost broken.

Afterwards, Ruo Zhaoyi lay in bed for more than a month, although she was much more at ease, she might be taking revenge secretly.

In this way, the little princess was born just after she and Ruo Zhaoyi fell out.

Thinking of these things, the little princess suddenly cried, Lan Yurong felt as if she had been stung in her heart, and her heart jumped with fear.

The sharp cries twisted her heart, she approached the little princess and looked at her carefully.

The little princess's face is small and lumpy, she doesn't look like Lan Yurong, there is a faint shadow of Wei Xi, but when you look again, she doesn't look like anyone else.

Could it be... is it really a dirty thing that came to harm her?

"Don't cry." The more Lan Yurong thought about it, the more flustered she became, she covered the little princess's mouth, "Don't cry—do you hear me!"

The servant girl heard Lan Yurong's scolding, and immediately ran over. Seeing that Lan Yurong was covering the little princess's face, she hurried forward to persuade her:

"Your Majesty! Your Majesty, don't hurt the little princess! This will suffocate her to death!"

The maid tried her best to protect the little princess, and Lan Yurong scratched her face several times, she ran out with the little princess in her arms, and called more maids to come in, and finally persuaded Lan Yurong.
