"Xingchen, are you tired? Try some snacks." Huaying's voice was particularly gentle.
She was so gentle that Qi Xingchen was not used to it. Qi Xingchen stared at Hua Ying as if she was flattered, and reached out to touch her forehead, but there was no fever.
Hua Ying stared at Qi Xingchen and her tone immediately turned ferocious: "Who did you go to see in the palace today?"
"Qi...fei." Qi Xingchen said.
"When will Qi Yi become Concubine Qi? What are your plans with Qi Xuan?" Hua Ying asked again.
"These are matters between men. You, a woman, don't have to worry about it." Qi Xingchen smiled softly, then picked up the rose cake and changed the subject, "Well, this tastes very good."
After Huaying heard about Concubine Qi, she asked Xia Die and Qiu Ju to inquire about it, and learned that Qi Shuihan once loved the empress Zhou Fuxi very much. Later, the empress died, and Qi Shuihan never had a queen.
Everyone speculates that the biggest theory is that Zhou Hou was possessed by a demon, talked crazy before his death, and died suddenly on the last night.
How could Hua Ying believe in ghosts and gods? She felt that there must be something fishy about Zhou Hou's death, and it was hard to imagine that a person like Qi Shuihan, who regarded everything in the world as dust, would love a woman.
Qi Xingchen was sitting, Hua Ying put a hand on Qi Xingchen's shoulder, rubbed her body against his back, and leaned into his ear: "Well, more than ten years ago, was there an Empress Zhou Xian?"
"Princess's craftsmanship is getting better and better." Qi Xingchen tasted the rose cake carefully, her expression did not change, but she ignored the jacaranda.
"I'm telling you something, it's such a coincidence that Empress Zhou Xian died after waiting for the throne." Hua Ying asked reluctantly, "And King Qi loved this woman very much, so she must be
Stunning appearance."
"It's useless for you to ask me this. I've almost forgotten what Empress Zhou Xian looks like, and as a minister, I shouldn't talk about Empress Zhou Xian." Qi Xingchen said in an understatement, not understanding why Hua Ying suddenly said something to her.
This made me curious.
After receiving such a compliment from Qi Xingchen, Hua Ying changed her tune: "Well, let's not talk about Queen Zhou, but Concubine Qi. Are you going to the palace to see Concubine Qi?"
Qi Xingchen deliberately concealed Hua Ying and went to the palace. Who was so bold as to expose his whereabouts?
"yes."
"She, Qishuihan, you woman, as a minister, you should not enter the palace privately to meet the concubines. Qishuihan often practices in seclusion and does not ask about the affairs of the harem, but you often come in and out, and it is inevitable that some gossip will spread to Qishuihan.
In the ears of the great king, I, as the princess, should also give appropriate reminders." Hua Ying smiled softly.
"I remember the princess's reminder." Qi Xingchen nodded slightly.
At this time, Qing Xiao hurried to the study and reported at the door: "Your Majesty, Mr. Li, Mr. Wang are here and waiting for you in the main hall."
Fortunately, Qing Xiaolai showed up in time. Qi Xingchen stood up and said to Hua Ying, "I still have guests, let's go over first."
Qi Xingchen left the study, and Hua Ying watched him leave, feeling confused. In the past few months, he had ignored the affairs of the government, but now...
Since you believe in someone, shouldn’t you believe more thoroughly?
Hua Ying took a deep breath, believing that Qi Xingchen had a sense of discretion in doing things, and even more so, his ability. Since she refused to talk about his affairs for the time being, there was no need for her to get to the bottom of it, and it would only cause trouble to him.
Hua Ying paid special attention. Qi Xingchen and several adults secretly discussed matters in the main hall of the palace. Two hours later, the adults left the palace one after another. Hua Ying had a hunch that Qi Xingchen must have encountered something difficult.
