Yanyan walked toward the Qianqing Palace with anxiety. She had just had breakfast today when news came from the palace that the emperor had summoned her.
This year's winter came very early, but it was different from the cold in previous years. The sunshine made this winter warmer than in previous years. The palace was still green, and under the warm sunshine, it felt a bit like spring. The wicker branches swayed gently in the wind, and occasionally a few sparrows jumped and played.
The palace was quiet and peaceful.
When Yanyan arrived at Qianqing Palace, the emperor had already moved to the imperial garden to relax. Yanyan had no choice but to follow Gao Decai towards the imperial garden where the emperor was staying.
Along the way, the flowers are fragrant, green and red, and beautiful.
The emperor was sitting in the sun waiting for her. The shadow cast by the attic corridor next to him in the sun just cast a faint haze on the side of his face. His spirit was better than the previous few times she saw him, and there was also a faint glow on his face. The luster is not as pale as before.
When Yanyan walked forward, he discovered that there was a chessboard made of jade placed on the stone table in front of him, and the chess pieces placed on it looked like an unfinished chess game.
After saluting, the emperor motioned for her to sit down on the other side of the chessboard.
"Your Majesty, you don't want me to accompany you to finish this game of chess." He asked softly as he stared at the unfinished game of chess in front of him.
The emperor nodded, took the black piece in his hand and placed it somewhere on the chessboard. He looked up at her and signaled that it was her turn to move. Yanyan was complaining in her heart. Although she knew a little about the rules of Go, she As soon as I saw these black and white chess pieces, I felt dizzy.
Helpless, she had no choice but to rely on her memory and stare at the pieces on the chessboard for a long time before finally placing the white piece in her hand on the chessboard.
Seeing the emperor looking at her in shock, Yanyan looked at the chessboard in front of her and found nothing wrong. It wasn't until he took the black pieces and slowly placed them on the chessboard that she realized that she was setting a trap for herself. Trap, let yourself jump.
Yan Yan angrily threw the chess piece in his hand into the chess box, "Your Majesty, I don't know how to play chess. Are you bullying me?"
The emperor on the opposite side laughed loudly when he heard her complaint, and ordered Gao Decai to remove the chessboard in front of him, and then said: "Yanyan, life is like playing chess. You need to be careful every step and look forward and backward."
Yan Yan remained silent, not knowing what he was going to say, so he could only listen quietly.
"My life is like a game of chess, it is almost coming to an end. However, the winner has not been determined yet." He sighed and whispered. He raised his head and glanced at Yan Yan before continuing, "You are Accidents on the chessboard of my life are like a gust of wind that disrupts the original chess pieces. I kept you by my side, firstly to understand what kind of woman you are, and secondly because I wanted to take advantage of you."
Yanyan sat quietly aside and said nothing.
"In the past few years, I have also thought clearly that even without your appearance, the current situation will still occur. Now, I am old, and the Daxing Dynasty has not yet established a prince, and all the ministers are reporting It means that he wants to establish the crown prince immediately." He said softly, staring at Yan Yan's reaction, and saw that her expression was as calm as a lake without ripples.
"I intend to make the seventh prince the prince." The emperor said calmly.
Yan Yan trembled all over and suddenly raised his head to look at the emperor. Seeing that he was looking at him, Yan Yan quickly looked away and looked at the blooming flowers in front of him, but his heart was up and down.
If Qi Feng is the crown prince, it means that Yan Yan dare not think about it. He tries to pretend to be nonchalant and asks, "Why would the emperor want to make Qi Feng the crown prince? Judging from his age, it should be his third elder brother Qi Yu.
"
The emperor smiled softly, took in her reaction, and said with a smile: "If the third child is a minister, he is a rare person. But if he is the prince, that is, the emperor in the future, he is too forbearing and too much.
He is cruel. I can’t trust him to hand over the kingdom of the world to him.”
Yan Yan was secretly depressed in her heart, why did the emperor tell her this? How could a king tell this to someone who stayed with his son day and night? He thought to himself, he said this on purpose to gauge her reaction.
He calmed down and smiled quietly.
He had been observing her, and when he saw her suddenly smiling, he was startled and started laughing himself.
After a long time, he finally asked the question he had wanted to ask for a long time, "Qi Yi, where is he now?"
The smile on Yan Yan's face suddenly stagnated. She never expected that the emperor would take the initiative to ask about Qi Yi. She had been thinking about how to tell the emperor about Qi Yi so as not to offend Long Yan. But now he
When he mentioned it to himself, Yanyan couldn't help but smile bitterly. After all, they are father and son who are related by blood, how could they ignore it.
"He currently lives in Yunshuang City, and Lin Xin is staying with her there." Yan Yan said softly, suddenly smiled again, and said, "To be precise, she is pestering him."
"Lin Xin? That girl is there. It's so good." The emperor said in a low voice, looked up at the white clouds in the sky, and sighed softly.
"Your Majesty, you are not angry with Qi Yi anymore, are you?" Yan Yan asked carefully.
"It's been six years, and no matter how angry you are, it's gone."
Yan Yan smiled slightly. The emperor's main purpose in calling her was to know where Qi Yi was now. He looked at the sparrows playing in front of him, jumping on the ground. The sound of rapid footsteps came, and the sparrows scattered in panic.
Open. Looking up, Qi Feng has a worried look on his face and is walking towards him in a hurry.
Qi Feng's eyes fell on Yan Yan. Seeing that she was fine, the worry on his face slowly dissipated and turned into a feeling of relief.
"Lao Qi, why did you come to see me?" The emperor asked in a deep voice after coughing several times.
"Father, I..." Qi Feng faltered, not knowing how to answer for a moment. When he returned to the palace and heard that Yan Yan was summoned into the palace by the emperor, he hurriedly walked into the palace without thinking.
"grandfather……"
A childish voice diverted the emperor's attention. He turned to look in the direction of the voice, and saw a small figure running happily towards him.
The emperor smiled, opened his arms and hugged him, his affection was beyond words. Yanyan looked at all this with a smile, not knowing whether it was good or bad.
Qi Feng pulled her away from the Royal Garden, and the emperor also acquiesced in their departure. Finally they were far away, Qi Feng hugged Yan Yan and whispered: "It's okay, it's okay. It's okay."
She suddenly smiled in his arms and stretched out her hand to push him away, but found that he hugged her too tightly. Yanyan had to give up her struggle and smiled softly, "I'm fine. You also think your father is too scary."
.Even if my head is cut off, I have to be sent to the execution ground, right?"
"Don't talk about beheading." He interrupted her in a deep voice, held her face, asked her to look into his eyes, and continued, "Never talk about beheading again. No, I can't wait any longer. I'll do it right now.
Go to Father, I will marry you right away."
Yanyan pulled him with a wry smile and shouted, "I didn't say I wanted to marry you right away."
A gust of cold wind blew by, causing my hair to flutter lightly.
Qi Feng glared at her, "Don't think about marrying anyone else." After saying that, he took her hand and walked to the imperial garden. At that time, the emperor was smiling and listening to Xia Lele's anecdotes about him.
"Father, I want to marry Yan Yan. Regardless of whether you agree or not, I want to marry Yan Yan." Qi Feng held Yan Yan's hand and finished speaking in one breath, with firm eyes.
The surrounding area suddenly fell into silence. Xia Lele suddenly cheered and clapped her hands, "Daddy is finally going to marry my mother."
The emperor looked at Xia Lele shouting loudly and raised a smile on his lips. He turned to look at Qi Feng and said: "This year is about to pass. Next spring, you will marry Yanyan again. However, Le'er
It’s time to record it in the Qi family’s genealogy.”
"Seventh brother, do you want to get married?" Qi Yu's voice sounded coldly, and Yan Yan suddenly turned around in fright, only to see a gloomy look on Qi Yu's face.
Yan Yan only felt that the atmosphere became a little heavy for a while, so he pulled Le'er and left the Royal Garden. As soon as they reached the corner of the corridor, Qi Feng quickly caught up with them.
Xia Lele was still immersed in the joy that his father and mother were getting married. After returning to the palace, he couldn't wait to announce to everyone. The whole palace fell into laughter, and Qi Feng was even more happy to hold her around for several times.
He made a circle and pulled her around the palace to run wildly.
After Qi Yu left the palace, he asked Zhao Yue to meet him in the woods to the east of the city. When Zhao Yue rushed to the woods, he saw Qi Yu's whole body filled with cold and deep anger.
Zhao Yue approached Qi Yu, and his cold voice reminded him, "Zhao Yue, we must act in advance, the situation has changed."
"If you don't tell me, I happen to have this intention. As long as I think about the two of them being so happy, I can't swallow my breath. They are the reason why I am like this now." Zhaoyue's eyes showed a hint of ferocity, and suddenly
He reached out and took a handful of leaves in his hand, crushing them into pieces with trembling force.
When Qi Yu told Zhao Yue that Qi Feng was going to marry Yan Yan, Zhao Yue turned around and left the woods and rushed to Qi Feng's mansion. All she knew was that her head felt like it was exploding. She hated him.
She hated Xia Yanyan even more. Her whole life was ruined by Xia Yanyan. It was Xia Yanyan's sudden appearance that made her fall into this situation.
When she arrived at Prince Feng's Mansion, Zhao Yue had already suppressed all her anger, but looked at Gu Rui passing by with a gloomy look on her face, and called out to her in a cold voice, "Your Highness, are you in the mansion?"
Gu Rui had met Zhao Yue several times, so he naturally recognized her. After bowing, he answered her, "Your Highness is taking Fujin out."
"Then when can they come back?"
"This slave doesn't know."
Suddenly Xia Lele ran out with a kite in one hand and a string in the other, shouting loudly, "Sister Gu Rui, my kite can't fly."
Zhaoyue looked at Xia Lele running in front of her, and at the face that was almost exactly the same as Qi Feng's, the blood in her whole body boiled stiffly.
Gu Rui hurried over and whispered a few words in his ear.
His eyes suddenly turned into a smile when he looked at Zhaoyue, he ran to her, held up the kite in his hand, and said with a smile: "Sister, help me fly the kite."
