The demon concubine of rebirth, you have been tricked by gl

Under Liao Ci's treatment, within a few days, Qing Yuan's body recovered.

As soon as the aggrieved and pitiful Qingyuan woke up and saw Xia Qiulian, she shed tears and threw herself into Xia Qiulian's arms and cried happily.

It's just that after walking through Yan Luo Pass this time, Qing Yuan also calmed down a bit, and she was no longer as reckless as before.

This is a good thing for her.

In the past few days, Xia Qiulian was also in the study, and received a second letter written by Jiang Xunyan, just like the countless times in the previous life, it quietly appeared in the book she read the day before.

This time, apart from the false confession of missing, Jiang Xunyan also mentioned the royal hunting that Yan Kingdom will hold in the near future.

Jiang Xunyan did not know where he got the news that Emperor Yan would go with the prince for this hunt, and he hoped that Xia Qiulian could go to the hunting ground with Emperor Yan.

Xia Qiulian remembered that it was the same situation in her previous life, Jiang Xunyan asked Xia Qiulian to go to the hunting ground with Emperor Yan.

But that time, during the three-day hunt, a major event happened.

On the day when she was about to return to the palace, an assassin appeared in the hunting ground, and in front of a large audience, she raised her sword to assassinate Emperor Yan. That time, because Xia Qiulian was beside Emperor Yan, in order to protect Emperor Yan, she was cut on the shoulder, left a scar.

In her previous life, she was favored by Emperor Yan because of her meritorious service in escorting her, and she was in the limelight in the palace for a while.Someone once said that if the barbarian princess hadn't entered the palace at that time, she should have become a queen.

Now that Xia Qiulian thought about it carefully, she suspected that the assassin who assassinated Emperor Yan in the hunting ground was sent by Jiang Xunyan.

Xia Qiulian pondered for a moment, then came back to her senses, passed it to her nose and sniffed it as usual, the faint smell of fragrant cake lingered on the paper, and when she sniffed it carefully, she seemed to be able to smell a faint scent of flowers.

The person who delivered the letter must have been not rigorous, perhaps he did it in a panic, so that every time he inadvertently left a taste.

Xia Qiulian had some doubts in his heart.

Apart from Qing Yuan and Lu Ruan, Jingling Palace also had six other maids serving in the palace.

Two were in charge of cleaning the main hall of the study, two were in charge of serving tea and water, serving imperial food in the imperial dining room, and two were in charge of serving Xia Qiulian when he took a bath.

They have always had a clear division of labor, and they each do their own thing well, and never overdo it.

And those who can put letters in the study room must be able to enter the study room, and the two maids in charge of cleaning the study room should be the most suspicious.

But on the letter, there was a faint scent of oil and food, like the hand of a court lady who served the imperial meal, and the scent of flowers, like the scent of petals sprinkled in the bath when she took a bath.

The person who delivered the letter was able to shuttle back and forth freely between the various errands, the person who should be suspicious the most should be the little maid named Liu Er.

Liu'er is the leader of the palace maids who serve in the palace. She has always been in charge of the miscellaneous affairs in the palace, and the palace maids are also disciplined by her. She is considered a minor official.

She is a sweet-looking girl who works quickly and doesn't talk much.

Xia Qiulian raised her eyes, and handed the paper letter in her hand to the burning candle beside her.

The hot flame quickly swallowed the thin paper, leaving only a wisp of blue smoke and some scattered black soot.

Now Xia Qiulian is only suspicious, but cannot conclude that Liu'er is the secret agent hidden in her palace, maybe there is someone else, maybe she was deliberately guided by someone, these are things she doesn't know now.

So now she can only be cautious, if there is no definite evidence, she can't determine who is the spy.

However, if one can find out the secret agent hidden in the palace, one can follow the clues to search up and find out the identity of the empress.

Xia Qiulian knew that she could not be impatient now, but could only hold her breath and wait for the man in the dark to show her feet.

Xia Qiuling stayed in the study for another whole day.

When the sun was setting in the evening, the little father-in-law next to Emperor Yan came suddenly and told Xia Qiulian to prepare well, and Emperor Yan would come to Jingling Palace tonight.

Because Emperor Yan often came to Jingling Palace, Qing Yuan and Lu Ruan were no longer as frightened as before.

Now they know that the more times Emperor Yan comes to Jingling Palace, the more doted on the lady, and no one dares to bully them in this palace, so when they heard the news that Emperor Yan was coming, they hurriedly ordered Little eunuchs and maids of honor are doing things.

Light up the candles on the lampposts at the entrance of the hall, wipe the table clean, replace the fruit on the table with fresh and juicy ones, set up the chessboard in the study room quickly, and only need a few more candles.

Xia Qiulian was the most leisurely one. She sat in the hall with an ancient book in her hand and left the study room to them.

While drinking tea, Xia Qiulian casually observed Liu Er, the little maid.

Liu'er was holding the newly replaced fruit, then put it down, raised her hand to wipe the fine sweat from her face, and then looked up to see Xia Qiulian sitting under the candlelight reading a book.

She clutched her sleeves nervously, she wanted to step forward and ask Xia Qiulian if she wanted to light two more candles, so that it would be brighter and her eyes would not be so sore.

But after biting her lip and thinking for a while, she lowered her head again, bowed her head respectfully and went out to get busy.

After all, it's not her business, these things should be done by Qing Yuan and Lu Ruan beside the empress.

After working for a while, Liu'er was free. She went back to the maid's bedroom, opened the door and saw Cheng'er lying on her bed with Erlang's legs crossed, dozing off.

"I know I'm lazy." Liu'er stepped forward and patted Cheng'er on the head with one hand.

"Oh, my dear sister, what are you doing, it hurts." Cheng Er frowned and covered her head, staring at Liu Er dissatisfied.

"Cheng'er, do things quickly, don't be lazy all the time. Originally, you served the imperial meal for the empress, and you were tired, so you were asked to clean the study room, but you were too dirty, so you were asked to wait for the empress to take a bath, and you were too tired to boil hot water Tired. If you continue to be so lazy, let the empress know, drive you out of Jingling Palace, and let you go to other empresses' palaces, and other empresses' tempers are not as good as Xianfei's empress."

While complaining about her own sister, Liu'er groped on the bed for a long time and took out a small wooden box.

She carefully opened the small wooden box, which contained some scattered silver and a few small jewelry, and wiped the jewelry carefully with a white cloth, before Liu'er closed the small wooden box with satisfaction.

"Look at your worthless appearance. You'll be satisfied with just a few pieces of silver and jewelry." Cheng'er glanced at her mouth in distaste, somewhat looking down on her honest and easy-to-satisfy sister.

"These are all saved by myself. In a few years when I am old, maybe I will be able to leave the palace. I don't know if my younger brother is married. If not, I will buy him a few acres of land and let him marry him." A daughter-in-law, I will buy a cow for my father, and a new dress for my mother. And... Brother Xian may still be waiting for me, and when I leave the palace, I will marry him."

Liu'er held the small wooden box in her arms longingly. In fact, she knew in her heart that her lover who promised to wait for her should have married a wife and had children long ago, but she still held on to that glimmer of hope.

"Hmph, will Li Xian wait for you for so long? Have you hugged a few of the dolls? And parents, they sold us into the palace for my younger brother, and you still miss them. Say you are worthless, you are really that Nothing."

Cheng'er looked impatiently at Liu'er who looked forward to tranquility, and raised the corners of her lips in disdain.

"Although the concubine Xian is in favor now, no one can guess what the emperor wants. Maybe in two days, a new person will be replaced. Don't just follow the concubine Xian. You have to learn from me and find someone for yourself. A few retreats."

A gleam of light flashed in Cheng'er's eyes, she lay down slowly, raised her hand to appreciate the expensive green jade bracelet on her wrist.

"Cheng'er, you've been thinking a lot since you were young. I'm not as much as you think. The Concubine Xian is kind to us, and she speaks softly. She never punishes us. When I meet such a good master, it's the one who cultivated me in my previous life. It is a blessing, we must do our duty and do our best to serve a good empress."

Liu'er gently stroked the small wooden box in her bosom, touched it for a while, and then put the wooden box into the original hiding place.

She drank a glass of water and went to work again, while Cheng'er lay on the bed, holding the jade bracelet in her hand, and fell asleep again after a while.

After Emperor Yan finished correcting the memorial, he came to Jingling Palace.

As usual, he first played a few games of chess with Xia Qiulian.

Xia Qiulian has always been serious in playing chess with Emperor Yan, and never gave up a single move, and let Emperor Yan lose completely every time.

However, Emperor Yan not only has a good temper, but also has a good bearing. Even if he loses, he will not be angry. He just inspected the chess game carefully and tried every means to find a way to break Xia Qiulian's chess game.

If you can't find it, you can humbly ask Xia Qiulian how to solve the situation.

When no one was around, Emperor Yan would still honor Xia Qiulian as Mr.

"It's almost autumn." Emperor Yan put away the chess pieces in his hand, and suddenly looked out of the open window, when a breeze happened to blow and messed up the beard on Emperor Yan's chin.

"A few days ago it was very hot and stuffy, but in the past few days at night, it's still a bit chilly."

Xia Qiulian put the pieces on the chessboard into the chess jar one by one, and softly echoed Yan Huang's words.

"The country of Yan is different from the country of Jiang. I have heard people say that Jiang country is like spring all year round, unlike my country of Yan, which has four distinct seasons. The summer is as hot as a desert. In winter, it starts to flutter like goose feathers." heavy snow."

Emperor Yan stroked his beard as if sighing, and looked out the window with misty eyes.

"Concubine Ai, have you ever seen Xue?" When mentioning this, Emperor Yan seemed to suddenly think of something, and turned to look at Xia Qiulian with gentle and puzzled eyes.

"Reporting to Your Majesty, Jiang Country is located in the south of the Yangtze River, and it rarely snows. The last time it snowed was when the country was founded. Qiu Lian was not born at that time, but my concubine's father had seen that snow."

Xia Qiulian replied in a soft voice.

Xia Qiulian had never seen snow when she was in Jiang Country, but after coming to Yan Country in her previous life, she could see snow every year.

"Have you ever seen snow? That's just right. In a few months, it will be snowing in the country of Yan. You must have never seen that white and glittering snowflakes all over the place, like a soft white blanket that fell from the sky and covered you. It's all over the place in front of you."

When Emperor Yan mentioned Xue, he squinted his eyes as if thinking of something happy, and the smile on his lips became more gentle and deep.

"Banting and Changling loved playing in the snow when they were young, especially Banting. The little guy was only as tall as a chair, wearing a thick cotton jacket, round like a little sweet potato, and loved playing in front of the main hall. Rolling in the snow. I am not afraid of my little face flushed from the cold. Sometimes I bury myself in the snow, and I can’t get out no matter how I call it. Several times I was so angry that I ordered people to shovel all the snow in front of the temple. , Ban Ting was once angry with me, ignored me for several days, and called me a nuisance."

When Yan Huang mentioned Yan Wanting and Yan Changling, he talked a lot more, and he took the trouble to talk about the anecdotes about the snowy days when the two children were young.

His expression was nostalgic and soft, like an ordinary old man who watched his children grow up, proud and emotional.

"Every year, it snows heavily in Yanfei City. It is very wonderful to roast mutton on the Yanhui Pavilion with a charcoal fire, watching the snow scene, and drinking a glass of warm wine. I used to go to the Changling Banting Pavilion every year, but this time In the past few years, I have grown old and I am afraid of the cold, so I can’t go there anymore. I will go to Changling and Banting, this year, I will ask Banting to call on Aifei, and let you go with them to enjoy the snow scenery of our country of Yan.”

Yanhuang looked at Xia Qiulian with a smile.

"Your Majesty said so, and the concubine is looking forward to it." Xia Qiulian finished collecting the chessboard and poured a cup of hot tea for Emperor Yan.

"It's almost autumn, and in two days, it will be the day of hunting. Every year at this time, Changling will take the princes, nobles and young talents from Yanfei City to hunt together in the hunting grounds. This year, I am also interested. Go, I also want to relive the majesty of hunting tigers with arrows again, I don't know if Qiu Lian is interested, so go with me."

Xia Qiulian was taken aback.

In the previous life, Emperor Yan never mentioned to her that he would take her to hunt together. When she was playing chess with Emperor Yan, she mentioned a few words on the sidelines, expressing her interest in seeing and seeing, and Emperor Yan took her with him. to go.

But in this life, Emperor Yan actually took the initiative to bring her up and take her to hunt together.

It seems that since her rebirth, the things around her have almost completely changed.

"Aifei is not willing?" Seeing that Xia Qiu was stunned for a while, Emperor Yan asked tentatively without answering him.

"How could it be? If the concubine can go with His Majesty, I would definitely wish for it." Xia Qiulian smiled slightly with her lips lifted.

Zixun Palace.

Under the faint candlelight, Yan Wanting slowly woke up. She was lying sideways on the couch in front of the table in the main hall, her thin clothes were a little messy, and her delicate and attractive collarbone was exposed under her slender and fair neck.

I don't know if I just dreamed of something terrible in my dream, but there was a thin layer of fragrant sweat on Yan Wanting's neck and chest, and the crystal clear sweat slowly slid down her slender neck , landed on her alluring collarbone, and then continued to slide down, hidden into the thin gauze room, sliding deep, making people want to go on a cruise with it.

The candlelight in front of him flickered lightly, and there was a figure in front of Yan Wanting's eyes.

It was Li Fengyou who hadn't seen him for a long time.

Li Fengyou seems to have lost a lot of weight, his already thin face became more angular, his tall and thin figure was wearing a black night clothes, holding a delicate and simple long sword in his hand, and a hair tie was casually worn on his hair full of blue hair The high beams are tied behind the head, and the heroic spirit is neat.

"came back."

Yan Wanting squinted his long and narrow phoenix eyes, looked at Li Fengyou lazily for a few times, and then said slowly.

"Your Highness, the manpower has been arranged."

Li Fengyou was a busy traveler, although her face was tired, her eyes were still as clear and sharp as a drawn sword, she bowed respectfully to Yan Banting with her hands folded.

Yan Wanting waved his hand, indicating that he knew, then said with a light smile.

"Well, you have lost a lot of weight."

"Running under the sun all day these days, I feel that I am a little dark."

Li Fengyou lowered his head and glanced at his chest.

"Feng You, do you know that Master Uncle found some precious wood from somewhere, and after burning, it emits a strange fragrance. If someone smells it, it can soothe the nerves and get rid of fatigue. I see you are so tired, when you go to see Master Uncle later , I’ll ask Master Uncle to burn a piece for you.”

Yan Wanting tapped lightly on the case with her white and slender fingertips, squinted her eyes, and kindly gave Li Fengyou advice.

"Your Highness is not ignorant. Master loves to test medicine with humble officials. I don't dare to send myself to the door at this time. After a night of rest, I will go to see Master tomorrow."

Li Fengyou's face became more and more tired, she hadn't closed her eyes for several days, she was running around all day, and she didn't even have a decent meal.

"Come here, eat the bowl of soup on the table and these pastries before going to rest."

Yan Wanting saw that Li Fengyou was really tired, so he suppressed his smile and knocked on the desk, beckoning Li Fengyou to come over.

The soup on the table was delivered not long ago, and it was filled with tonic medicinal herbs, and the soup was stewed with mutton.

It was sent by my aunt.

Li Fengyou walked to the case and sat down cross-legged. Without a word of politeness, he took the big bowl of soup and poured it directly into his mouth.

"Slow down, what do you do when you eat so fast, you won't be afraid of choking."

Yan Wanting frowned and looked at Li Fengyou who was devouring, feeling a little distressed in his heart.
