Qi Jingqin turned around and saw Qi Jingyang standing behind him with a slight frown on his face, followed by Kong Yan. He must have been the Qi Jingyang who went to report.

Qi Jingqin subconsciously looked up and down at Qi Jingyang. In fact, he had not seen him for only a day, but he felt as strange as if it had been three autumns.

In fact, the two of them look very similar. Although they have the same father and mother, they both resemble the face of their father Qi Bingyu. After nearly ten years of intrigues in the court, the two of them have similar indifference in their expressions.

Qi Jingqin looked into his eyes and felt that he looked very haggard today. Thinking about it, Qi Jingyang, who usually didn't need to think about anything, must have faced these things alone for the first time. He moved out of the East Palace and dealt with Zhao Peiyu's affairs alone.

During the funeral, I didn’t even have time to clean off my beard. Although my hair was neatly combed, it was obvious that I had lost some energy. I used to always wear the prince’s black crown and walk majestically in the palace corridors, no matter when and where.

, there is always a light in his eyes, he is extremely arrogant and arrogant, and he is born with the self-confidence of a legitimate son, which Qi Jingqin has always been particularly envious of.

They also have fair skin, a pair of dazzling black eyes that seem to be able to see through all the sorrows of the past and present life, and expressions like cold stars. Their straight nose bridges are as silent and cold as ice.

Black vertical hair, slanting handsome eyebrows, slender and sharp black eyes, thin and lightly pursed lips, angular contours, tall but not rugged figure, like an eagle in the night, Leng Aogu

Qing yet powerful, and yet solitary and independent, he exudes a strength that defies heaven and earth.

Because they are both princes, but the nine sons of the dragon are not the same, not to mention that they grew up under the influence of different educations. Qi Jingyang was instilled with the arrogant self-confidence that the eldest son should have since he was a child. He can stand up

On the high palace wall of the imperial city, this man looked down on all directions and stood arrogantly. When he opened his arms and looked cheerful, little Qi Jingqin only dared to stand aside, looking at the world that should not belong to him.

, his big eyes were full of curiosity, with stars twinkling in his eyes.

Qi Jingyang has always been confident and proud, while Qi Jingqin is taciturn and has always been like this. Now, through his own efforts and time's precipitation and proof, Qi Jingqin has finally dethroned Qi Jingyang from the position of prince. However, standing in front of Qi Jingyang, there is still a feeling in his heart that he is stealing.

He felt uneasy about his things.

In Qi Jingqin's eyes, Qi Jingyang was currently wearing a purple straight-top court dress, with a golden silk spider-pattern belt of the same color tied around his waist. His black hair was tied up with a jade-gilt gold crown. His slender body was straight and straight, and his whole person was rich and handsome.

It also reveals an innate nobility, which still makes people feel that it is unattainable and as low as dust just like in the previous life.

An icy blue double-breasted narrow-sleeved gown, with royal blue silk thread embroidered on the placket and cuffs with auspicious patterns of soaring clouds, indigo blue trousers tied into brocade boots, and he was striding forward.

A snow-white straight-breasted robe with a very drapey feel, and a wide belt with moon-white auspicious cloud patterns around the waist. There is only a piece of black jade of excellent quality hanging on it. The shape looks rough but is simple and gloomy. Black hair is used

A silver ribbon was tied casually, without a crown or hairpin. A few strands of hair in front of the forehead were blown away by the wind, intertwined with the silver ribbon and flying, making it look quite light.

Ever since they entered the court in their teens, Empress Mingxian and Concubine Mei had not allowed them to be together. During the Bingyu period of the Celestial Dynasty, there were only two princes, although Qi Jingyang was already the crown prince and was recognized by the world.

The crown prince, but that only means that he.asxs. is much taller than Qi Jingqin. Moreover, Qi Jingqin has always had excellent grades, which makes Xia Rongxin no longer just want a stable life.

She was no longer satisfied with the status quo at that time. In her eyes, Qi Jingqin, who had excellent academic performance in both civil and military affairs, was more suitable for the throne than Qi Jingyang, so she and Empress Mingxian fought overtly and covertly.

It was under this situation that Qi Jingyang became hostile to Xia Rongxin and Qi Jingqin. On the night when Queen Mingxian actually passed away, the seeds of hatred were planted in Qi Jingyang's heart.

I don't know how long it has been since Qi Jingqin and Qi Jingyang stood facing each other like this. They used to be tit for tat, but now it's rare for them to stand together.

"What are you doing here?" Qi Jingyang walked over with a frown on his face, clearly not welcoming him. He had just been deposed as the crown prince, and Qi Jingqin came here. What kind of kindness could he have?

"Come to see you." Qi Jingqin said calmly.

Qi Jingyang was obviously stunned for a moment, then turned around and left. Qi Jingqin followed and said, "Brother Emperor."

Just this sentence of "brother" made Qi Jingyang pause. He remembered the days when he and Qi Jingqin played together. At that time, the relationship between the two was not so bad. They could have continued like this forever, but this ending was unexpected.

Less than.

Qi Jingyang took a deep breath, then pinched the center of his eyebrows. He lowered his head, his nose was sore and tears were about to fall. If you really want to calculate it carefully, apart from his father, Qi Jingyang is the only one in the world who has Qi Jingqin.

and Qi Wangshu are two relatives.

Qi Jingqin seemed to feel that Qi Jingyang was crying. He stood behind him silently without saying anything. He just accompanied him silently. At this time, his heart was soft, but he also had a strong self-esteem. The most important thing was that no one could see clearly the weakness in his heart.

.

"Get out." Qi Jingyang said in a muffled voice, "Get out! You shouldn't be here!"

Qi Jingqin stood there motionless. He knew that Qi Jingyang would not accept his kindness at this time, but now, although Qi Jingyang had done so many wrong things, Qi Jingqin was willing to spare his life out of brotherly love. He whispered

He called out: "Brother Emperor..."

Qi Jingyang couldn't help it anymore, he turned around and punched Qi Jingqin, pointed at his nose and said: "I told you to get out, do you understand? I don't need your sympathy! You'd better kill me! Otherwise you guys

Everyone, I won’t let anyone go!”

"Why are you still so stubborn when things have come to this?" Qi Jingqin covered his face and shouted at him loudly.

I came here today just for the sake of brotherhood and wanted to write off the original matter. If I could live in harmony, I wouldn't have to waste too much energy dealing with Qi Jingyang. It was not easy for me to ascend the throne smoothly, so why not turn enemies into friends?

But I never expected that Qi Jingyang would be like this now.

"Do you still feel that if you took the initiative to lend a helping hand to me? I should be so grateful!" Qi Jingyang shouted to him hysterically, "I am the eldest son! You! You will always be just a usurper.

Bastard! One day I will take back everything I deserve! You are not worthy of talking to me in such a condescending manner! I can only regret that the poison Pei Yu administered did not kill Liang Huanqing! You simply relied on Liang Fengmian to get to the top! You relied on nepotism..."

Before Qi Jingyang could finish speaking, Qi Jingqin went up and knocked him down with one punch, pointed at him and said, "I wanted to give you a chance, but in this case, let's wait and see!"

After saying that, Qi Jingqin turned around and walked out of Prince Cong's Mansion, holding back a surge of anger in his heart as he hurried to the palace.

Liang Huanqing was riding a carriage on Jing Street. There were tea houses, taverns, pawn shops, and workshops on both sides of the street. There were many small vendors with big umbrellas in the open spaces on both sides of the street. The street extended to the east and west, all the way to the quieter areas outside the city.

In the suburbs, there are still people on the street: some are carrying burdens, some are driving ox carts to deliver goods, some are driving donkeys to pull trucks, and some are stopping to admire the scenery of the Bianhe River... The lifestyles under the emperor's feet are different, and no one can

I don't know that great changes are about to take place in the palace. The capital city is still prosperous as before, and there are countless victims outside the city. It's like all kinds of things in the world.

However, Liang Huanqing looked ahead and saw a tall and majestic palace at the end of Jing Street.

The double eaves roof of glazed tiles, the red lacquer door, and the same platform base have tied up many kings in the past. It caused the dynasty to be overthrown, the people were displaced, and the world was changed to his surname.

All kinds of rare treasures in the palace are the treasures of the people.

Amber wine, jasper cups, gold-footed bottles, emerald plates, food like pictures, wine like springs, guqin dripping, and bells tinkling. The hall is surrounded by flowers like inverted bells, with white calyxes and translucent bone china.

Luster, the top of the petals is a circle of different shades of lavender, which seems to be dyed and natural. Surrounding the hall, there are towering ancient trees, green trees, red walls and yellow tiles, which are magnificent.

The crystal bead curtain is meandering and pouring. Behind the curtain, someone is draped in gauze and playing the piano. The sound of the piano flows between the rise and fall of the fingertips, either empty or real, and changing constantly, like a dripping spring in a secluded stream. It is clear, ethereal, exquisite and clear, and then the water gathers into a strong gurgling current.

With tenacious vitality, it passes through the mountains, reefs and dangerous shoals, and merges into the rolling rivers and seas. Finally, it calms down, leaving only long overtones, like the occasional splash of a fish jumping on the water.

The sky and the earth are covered with a thin gauze of rain silk, as fine as silver hair. A curve of green water is like a green jade belt running around the forest, and the distant mountains are invisible. The rain and dew blows on the tall and slender Phoenix tail bamboos, gathering into beads, flowing smoothly.

The elegant and unique leaf tail slides down, and the crystal is like a broken thread, beating on the oil paper umbrella, intermittently, clear and clear like a lady tapping a chime.

Liang Huanqing's carriage was walking slowly and leisurely, and there were countless pedestrians at this time. Liang Huanqing was not in a hurry, but was enjoying the calm before the storm.

After Xia Rongxin and Qi Wangshu returned to the palace, the Qinzheng Hall was still surrounded by many imperial doctors. It was inconvenient for Xia Rongxin and the others to go there to check. It was said that the emperor was unconscious and could only be guarded there. There were many things waiting for her in the palace.

to deal with it.

When the people in the palace saw that Concubine Mei was back, they felt confident that there was finally someone who could take charge of the overall situation. People in the palace were in panic. Now that Xia Rongxin was back, they could finally settle down.

But the first thing Xia Rongxin did when she came back was not to preside over the overall situation. She returned to Yichun Palace, closed the doors and windows tightly, and took out the queen's dress that she had secretly hidden. Now she no longer wants to be a concubine but feels the queen's

Thanks for the hard work, she wants to become the master of the imperial city.

This set of the queen's phoenix crown and harem is her ambition, which has been kept at the bottom of the box, but now she has taken it out.

Xia Rongxin sat in the bronze mirror and watched Yun Xi dressing herself up.

Yun Xi's hands were very dexterous. She made a peony bun for Xia Rongxin, inserted bright red peonies on the left and right sides of the bun, and then firmly placed the Phoenix Flying Nine Heavens Ruyi agate hollow crown and the golden phoenix inlaid with rubies in the center.

, the left and right are decorated with agate and jade, which echo each other and are extremely lustrous. Aunt Yun Xi opened another sandalwood jewelry box and put the purple tassel hairpin with smoked willow crystal inside on Xia Rongxin's peony bun. The long tassel fell on it.

The shoulders are full of unparalleled elegance.

Then, twelve gilt gold hairpins with peacock sapphires were used and placed between the buns. The golden steps between the buns made a tiny sound, and without taking a step, there were thousands of phoenixes and unparalleled elegance. Then put on a hairpin.

A pair of red butterfly earrings with thousands of silk threads are shining brightly every step of the way. The century-old Chaofeng court dress on her body is inlaid with more than 30,000 five-color gemstones.

Auspicious red crimson embroidery with gold thorns and five phoenixes, one-color palace makeup with thousands of leaves and gold peony jewelry, branches and leaves wrapped with red gold, holding out a huge red gold double-petaled peony plate necklace around the neck, the whole person looks like

Plated with a faint layer of gold, the majesty of the palace is very luxurious and dazzling.

The nine soaring phoenixes are about to echo the queen's throne. This is the dream of many women in the harem. Only by ascending to the queen's throne can they control their own destiny and become the second master in the world.

Xia Rongxin looked at herself in the mirror and smiled with satisfaction. She was born to wear this kind of clothes...

At this time, in addition to Xia Rongxin, there were also many people in the palace who were dressing up secretly. They were wearing clothes that were still in the boudoir before entering the palace...

Some light-colored skirts are trimmed with silver threads, and the water-colored gauze belt graces the waist. She wears a long skirt with violet colored hibiscus trailing to the floor, the waist is narrowed, and the sleeves are embroidered. The cuffs are embroidered with elegant

The orchid highlights the ten fingers that look like peeled onions, and the pink lips are glowing with crystal color, gently curved into a beautiful arc. The jade-like earlobes have light blue tassels hanging on them. The tassels are light and follow a little.

The wind can dance slowly.

Some wore a floor-length white plum blossom skirt, with a moon satin embroidered magnolia and flying butterfly cloak on the outside, and a light pink brocade lining to wrap the chest, with delicate golden butterflies embroidered on the cuffs, and a few lace hooks on the chest.

lace.

Some skirts have a layer of silk yarn as thin as mist, and a gold belt tied around the waist, which makes them look noble and graceful, as if they are orchids. A gold-wired psychic gem lies quietly in front of their necks, adding a sense of elegance.

She has an elegant air, with a pair of silver butterfly earrings hanging next to her ears. She uses a silver hairpin to hold her black hair, twist it into a delicate willow leaf hairpin, and pin it with a magnolia, which makes her look fresh, beautiful and elegant.

Some people wore a long, plain white brocade dress that was a bit too simple. Dark brown silk threads were used to embroider the branches of the clothes, and pink silk threads were used to embroider blossoming plum blossoms.

The hem extends all the way to the waist, and a dark purple wide belt tightens the thin waist, showing off the slender figure. On the contrary, it also gives people a sense of elegance and luxury. A light purple open gauze dress is worn outside.

Every move made the gauze clothes have a sense of flowing light, and an emerald jade pendant was tied around the waist, adding an air of elegance.

Some were wearing blue clothes, a blue pomegranate skirt, and some were wearing a blue gauze dress. There was a cape made of fine light yellow silk on the shoulders, which matched the skirt perfectly. The skirt was embroidered with white

The lily has a bit of red in the white, just like the fair and rosy face. The upper hair is coiled into a round shape. There are several hairpins inlaid with emeralds. The lower layer has three thousand green hair scattered on the shoulders, and the earrings are also inlaid.

The emerald, white jade neck, with the pearl and emerald necklace, adds a lot of charm to the jade neck. The pink lips on the fair face look petite and cute, adding a lot of charm to the fair face.

, the jade hand carefully held the red sandalwood harp, exuding the slightest fragrance.

They were all once daughters in the boudoir, but now they are still in their beautiful years, but they have to be ruined for this.

The emperor was seriously ill, and the hopes in the hearts of all the women were slowly shattered. Some showed great ambitions, while others were nostalgic for the past.
