After finally finishing the meal, Fengchu Palace became deserted again. Xia Qingxin ate so much that she could no longer walk. She lay lazily on the soft couch. It was a great joy in life to go to bed after eating.
Qingzhu has long known that her young lady usually has this problem. Today she ate dumplings and hot pot, so she must have eaten too much. She didn't know if anyone would cook some digestive water for her while she was away.
"Miss, don't sleep, drink the digestive water first." Qingzhu opened the door and came in, ready to let Xia Qingxin drink the water before going to sleep.
"If you don't want to drink, please go out first, Qingzhu." Xia Qingxin squinted her eyes and was about to fall asleep. She was confused and just wanted to make the surrounding quieter.
"If Miss Qingzhu doesn't drink it, then Qingzhu will leave. Miss, don't regret it." Qingzhu put the digestive water on the table, stood next to Ruantan and looked at Xia Qingxin with a smile. This young lady was really confused.
"I don't want to drink Qingzhu, Qingzhu?" Xia Qingxin suddenly woke up. Didn't Qingzhu leave? Is it Qingzhu who is talking now? She went down to clean up and was awakened by the thoughts in her head, and her sleepiness was gone in an instant.
"Qingzhu, it's really you!" She jumped up and hugged Qingzhu. They hadn't seen her for a long time. They thought she would have to leave the palace this year to see her, but she didn't expect Qingzhu to actually come into the palace.
"It's me, Miss, are you okay?" Qingzhu hugged Xia Qingxin and felt like crying when her nose sore. Although the life outside the palace was very good, it was better to have Miss by her side.
To the outside world, Qingzhu is Baili Mingxi's concubine. In fact, the two of them are in name only. Although Qingzhu likes him very much, Luohua is ruthless. Baili Mingxi is devoted to Xia Qingxin. He only regards Qingzhu as a friend.
Personally, I haven't made any substantial progress for so long.
"I'm fine! How are you?"
"Okay, Qingzhu is fine. I just miss Miss very much." Qingzhu looked at her with red eyes and couldn't help but want to cry.
"Okay, just come. Why are you crying? Your young lady should smile when she sees her." Xia Qingxin winked and tried to make Qingzhu laugh.
Qingzhu suddenly remembered that she had a mission today, and she brought a lot of things.
"Miss, I have accepted a mission. Don't you want to know what it is?" Qingzhu looked at Xia Qingxin mysteriously.
"Stop being so secretive. It must be Ah Ling who asked you to come. Tell me what it is." No need to think about it. Who else but him would borrow Qingzhu's hand to send things to this palace. As early as Baili Ming
When Xi came in, she had already seen the things being carried. She originally thought it was from Baili Mingxi, but now it seemed like it was from Ah Ling.
"It's really boring, the young lady is so smart." Qingzhu took Xia Qingxin to the folk prescription, where there was a room full of gadgets, all bought by Nalan Lingyu, because she didn't know what Xia Qingxin liked, so she simply
I bought everything I saw.
Xia Qingxin stood among the piles of things and missed Nalan Lingyu more and more. He would return in triumph tomorrow and she must welcome him in person.
Early the next morning, Baili Mingyu led hundreds of civil and military officials to greet them at the Suzaku Tower. Xia Qingxin stood on the tall tower and looked into the distance. The army was getting closer and closer. She didn't notice Nalan Ling until they were in front of her.
Yu was on the tall horse in the front row, and he was originally weak and frail.
"See you, Your Majesty, Your Majesty, the Queen! Long live the Emperor! Long live the Queen! Thousand years old! Thousand years ago!"
The deafening sound rang out, causing Xia Qingxin to wake up from her thoughts, and in a blink of an eye they had arrived under the city wall.
"Save your life." Baili Mingyu wanted to kill Nalan Lingyu, but he didn't expect him to escape again. This time he came back with military industry. What should he be rewarded with?
Baili Mingyu suppressed the anger surging in his heart and said with a smile: "Nalan Aiqing really impressed me. I didn't expect that Nalan Aiqing was actually a genius. He could rule the country with literary skills and put down rebellions with martial arts. He was really a genius.
The pillar of the country!"
"Your Majesty is so complimentary. It is my duty to share the Emperor's worries." Nalan Lingyu knelt on the ground and replied in a neither humble nor condescending manner.
"What do you want me to reward you for such a wonderful achievement?" Baili Mingyu tested Nalan Lingyu to see what he wanted, so that he could prescribe the right medicine.
"Back to your Majesty, I dare not take credit, let alone any reward. Thank you for your kindness." Nalan Lingyu did not fall for his trap and always maintained her original attitude, which made the surrounding ministers praise her.
Baili Mingyu remembered that his face was livid when he heard the praises from around him. If he really didn't reward him this time, he would definitely be ridiculed by everyone in the world, but he was unwilling to reward him with anything.
At this time, Baili Yuting who was standing aside moved. She walked to Baili Mingyu and whispered a few words to him. Baili Mingyu's eyes lit up instantly.
The imperial sister actually had such thoughts. Baili Mingyu would definitely not agree to her request in normal times, but now this is the only way.
Xia Qingxin watched the interaction between them curiously and suddenly had an unknown premonition. She vaguely felt that something bad was going to happen, but she couldn't tell what it was.
"I have already thought about what I want to reward my beloved. Nalan Lingyu stepped forward to accept the reward!" Baili Mingyu suddenly smiled on his face, looking very happy.
Nalan Lingyu calmly took a few steps forward and knelt on the ground and said, "I obey the order."
"I will make you the first consort of our dynasty, and we will marry the princess Baili Yuting on a certain day. Aiqing, please don't refuse this time. I have been thinking about it for a long time, and I have been thinking about getting married to Aiqing. What is missing is this beautiful girl."
, it is most appropriate to marry the most noble princess to your beloved."
Baili Mingyu said it in one breath without giving anyone a chance to regret it. After hearing this, Xia Qingxin's heart felt as if she had been stabbed by a knife. It turned out that this was how it felt to hear that the person she loved was going to marry someone else.
Does that mean that when she entered the palace as queen, he suffered more than she did?
Nalan Lingyu knelt on the ground and looked at the emperor on the tower in surprise. He had forgotten that he had not married yet. This incident was enough for Baili Mingyu to disgust him. He clearly knew that he only liked Xia Qingxin.
, he is still willing to marry his sister to himself. It is true that the Tian family has always only been interested in interests and not family ties.
"Thank you, Brother Emperor!" Seeing that her wish was finally fulfilled, Baili Yuting happily knelt on the ground to express her gratitude to the Emperor. From now on, the man who looked like an immortal would finally be hers.
She raised her head and saw that Xia Qingxin was greatly stimulated and her face turned pale. She felt happy for a moment. She was the only one in the world who deserved to have his Nalan Lingyu.
Baili Mingyu looked at the satisfied expressions of the courtiers and raised the corners of his mouth. The emperor is the emperor. No one can resist me, and you are destined to be trampled under my feet.
"Nalan Aiqing, why don't you thank me? Are you so happy that you are stupid?" Seeing Nalan Lingyu's silence below, Baili Mingyu wanted to go down and stand next to him and laugh at him.
"I thank the Lord for your kindness." Nalan Lingyu regained his expression in an instant. He stood up from the ground with the same calm expression. There was no harm in marrying a princess. He would not consummate the marriage with her anyway.
It's just painful.
He raised his head and looked in the direction of Xia Qingxin, only to see Xia Qingxin swaying and looking like she was about to faint, with a hint of distress flashing through her indifferent eyes.
"Sister-in-law, what's wrong with you? Why are you looking so pale?" Of course Baili Yuting would not miss such a good opportunity. Xia Qingxin was a thorn in her heart. When she saw her, she remembered that Nalan Lingyu liked this.
Man, this makes her very unhappy.
When she said this, everyone immediately looked at Xia Qingxin, especially Baili Mingyu, whose eyes were deeply probing, as if he wanted to see through Xia Qingxin.
"My dear concubine, why are you so pale? Is it because you are reluctant to marry off your sister?" Baili Mingyu walked up to Xia Qingxin and hugged her in his arms, where no one else could see her.
He squeezed her wrist hard.
Xia Qingxin's wrists were numb from being pinched, and her lips were pale and colorless from pain. She gently leaned her head on Baili Mingyu's arms and said, "What did the emperor say? It wasn't because I ate too much yesterday night."
I caught a cold, and now I am standing on the tower and the wind is blowing. I feel very uncomfortable in my stomach. I hope that the emperor can quickly reward the three armies, so that I can go back."
Baili Mingyu rested his chin on her head, and the faint scent of hair penetrated his nostrils. Such a faint fragrance was something he had never smelled before. It always felt refreshing, and his heart suddenly felt soft.
"Why didn't you tell me earlier that my beloved concubine was sick? I'll have someone take you back now." Baili Mingyu let go of her wrist and tied the cloak around her body.
"Someone, please send the queen back to the palace, and Dr. Xuan will come to diagnose and treat her."
Xia Qingxin couldn't pretend anymore. She felt really bad. She wanted to cry but didn't dare. She followed Baili Mingyu's words and went back.
Baili Yuting didn't want to miss such a good opportunity. She wanted to ruin Xia Qingxin's reputation. If the people knew that their mother of a country loved her subjects, she would never be able to turn around.
"Really? But I saw the emperor's sister-in-law in high spirits just now. Now she has become like this after hearing the news about my marriage. Is there any other reason?"
Xia Qingxin looked at Baili Yuting's vicious eyes towards her. If she didn't pretend to look like her today, she would definitely not be able to escape. Her lips moved as if she wanted to vomit, and she bent slightly at the waist and became more and more
Shrinking into a ball, she quietly twisted her hand on her thigh, and she almost screamed out in pain, looking at Baili Mingyu with a pitiful expression.
"Your Majesty, since your sister doesn't believe it, let me stay. I just have a stomachache, nothing serious. Today is the day of the army's triumphant victory. Wouldn't it hurt the soldiers that I, the mother of a country, is not here?
heart."
She endured the pain and leaned against the city wall. Xia Zhan couldn't stand it any longer. He walked forward and knelt down and said, "Your Majesty, the Queen is so uncomfortable. Is it possible that she is just pretending? Your Majesty, please take a closer look.
.”
Many old-fashioned ministers on the side could not stand it for a long time. This princess is really unreasonable. What reason does a queen of a country have to pretend to be sick? It is really ridiculous! (To be continued)
