Concubine, don't flirt: His Royal Highness is hiding something

"Ma'am..."

It was too late when Zhaoniang caught up from behind, she only saw Ah Jian and Chu Peiyu standing there helplessly, no one dared to go up to stop Yu Qiqi.

Before she reached the imperial study room, she saw the familiar face with the shadow of Lu Yin's rebirth, her hand unconsciously grabbed her sleeve, and her steps slowed down.

"Are you the emperor's maid?" Walking in front of Tang Yiyi, she asked her calmly, hiding the surprise and slight annoyance in her eyes.

"Exactly, Empress Wanan."

As soon as Tang Yiyi saw the phoenix robe on her body, she knew that she was Yu Qiqi, the queen of Yanjing.

"Why is the maid waiting outside the hall?" She raised her eyebrows.

"The emperor doesn't like slaves to serve him. The slaves are guarding the palace outside." She replied respectfully.

Her appearance is much younger than Lu Yin's, but she really looks like she was carved out of the same mold.

"The emperor has put on the memorial for so long, I think his mouth is very dry, you go and pour him a cup of ginseng tea." Yu Qiqi ordered, and then walked into the imperial study.

"Yes."

A trace of hesitation flashed in Tang Yiyi's eyes, but she stepped back without thinking too much.

"Empress?" Hearing footsteps, Nangong Yan raised his head.Yu Qiqi's body has almost recovered, but her complexion is still a little worse, after all, she has walked through the gate of hell once.

"Your Majesty really has a lot to do every day." She blissed slightly, and there was a sense of yin and yang in her words.She has gone to Li'an Hall to chant scriptures so many times, but she has never met Nangong Yan. Apart from naming Nangongxuan and chant scriptures with her once, he has done nothing for him. She is naturally angry in her heart. .

A Jian, Zhao Niang and Chu Peiyu stood together outside the imperial study room, no one dared to go in and take a look.

"The empress is blaming me for not going to the Li'an Hall to chant scriptures for Xuan'er?" He could hear the yin and yang in her words.

"He is also your child, why are you so hard-hearted?" When Nangong Xuan was mentioned, Yu Qiqi looked at him with hatred in his eyes.

"Zhen. It will pass after a while." His hand holding the memorial froze for a moment, and he could only give her this answer.

It's not that he doesn't want to go, it's just that he feels ashamed, afraid that seeing Nangongxuan's memorial tablet, will he be blaming his father like his mother and queen?

At this time, Tang Yiyi was carrying ginseng tea and walked outside the imperial study room, A Jian hurriedly stepped forward to stop her, "You are not allowed to go in!"

Chu Peiyu and Zhaoniang also hurriedly followed, helping her.

"This is the ginseng tea that the empress ordered me to prepare for the emperor." Tang Yiyi raised her innocent eyes.He looked at the three of them steadily.

Ah Jian frowned, then said, "Then I'll take it in for you."

"That's not okay, I can't bother Miss A Jian." Tang Yiyi withdrew her hand, preventing her from taking the ginseng tea away.

"I see, you are not afraid to trouble me, but you want to go in and see the emperor?" A Jian crossed her hands on her chest with a look of contempt.

"Yi'er waits in front of the emperor, naturally she wants to see the emperor, why does Miss A Jian look at Yi'er with such a contemptuous look?"

A bit of grievance appeared on Tang Yiyi's face.

The servant was reluctant to let her be besieged by so many people, and stepped forward to help smooth things over. "Miss A Jian, the emperor may have been thirsty in there long ago, just waiting for this sip of ginseng tea from Yi'er. Your lord has a lot, so hurry up and put people in."

"Which round will you get to speak here?!" A Jian turned around and scolded him coldly.

Taking advantage of her turning around, Tang Yiyi hurriedly slipped in with her tea. She moved quickly, and when Ah Jian and the others were about to stop her, she had already stepped into the imperial study room. It seemed that she could work hard.

"Your majesty, your ginseng tea."

Just in time, Tang Yiyi's voice sounded in front of the two of them.

Yu Qiqi pursed her lips, turned her head and smiled lightly, "I'm afraid, besides taking care of everything, the emperor is still reluctant to leave this little maid by his side, right?"

"I said, you are not allowed to serve in front of me without an order." Nangong Yan's face darkened.

"This is what the Empress ordered the servants to get it."

Tang Yiyi put the ginseng tea in front of him, glanced at him cautiously, then hurriedly stepped aside, pursing her lips, with a look of grievance on her face.

Nangong Yan knocked on the table twice, looked at Yu Qiqi, "The queen ordered it?" He knew something was wrong when he heard it.

"Since the emperor has called a new maid to serve by his side, it is more appropriate to recruit her to serve, and it is not good to always leave her outside the door."

She met his eyes without any expression change on her face, she was confronting him like this.

"Then it seems that the empress would like to let Yi'er come to serve her." He narrowed his eyes, and there was a sense of probing in his words.

"If the emperor wants to, then the concubine will naturally obey the emperor's wishes." She leaned towards him, showing no sign of reluctance.

"Well, I will follow the queen's wishes." After he finished speaking, he swept his big hands aside, and took Tang Yiyi into his arms. On the tip of her nose, she smelled the scent that made her heart suffocate again.

She fell into his arms, frightened, and let out a soft cry.

"Tonight, it's up to you to serve me." He lowered his head, covering the light covering her face, showing tenderness on his face.

"Yes."

Tang Yiyi lowered her head with shyness on her face.

Looking at the picture in front of her, Yu Qiqi pinched her fingers tightly into the palm of her hand.

In the end, she suppressed the anger in her heart, raised the corners of her lips and said: "The concubine will not bother the emperor." After finishing speaking, the bright red phoenix robe disappeared from his imperial study.

"Princess, why did you come out?" A Jian was taken aback when she saw that the person who came out was Yu Qiqi.

"Yes, madam, where is that Yi'er? How can you keep her in?" Zhao Niang was not calm anymore, her face was full of anxiety.

"Don't just stand here and watch the fun, go back to Fengluan Palace." She said calmly.But the footsteps were in a hurry, as if he didn't want to stay here for a moment.

Chu Peiyu stood where he was, looking at the back of the hurriedly leaving in front of him, his eyes full of lamentation.

"Don't get up, do you want me to hit you?"

As soon as Yu Qiqi left, Nangong Yan's expression changed. Tang Yiyi, who was still leaning in his arms, was startled, and hurriedly stood up from him, straightening her clothes.

"go out."

He said coldly, his words were full of majesty.

"Yes." She lowered her head and retreated in a panic, her nose was lingering with his fragrance, but her eyes were red.

She hated herself for not living up to expectations, and also hated that Nangong Yan didn't have her in his heart.

When Chu Peiyu saw Tang Yiyi walking out, looking very aggrieved and suffering, his heart sank.

On the way back to Fengluan Palace, Yu Qiqi didn't say a word, A Jian and Zhao Niang also kept silent, not daring to speak a word to her.

"Princess, in my opinion, Tang Yiyi should be driven away, otherwise she thinks she can do evil in this palace with a face that looks exactly like Lu Yin's!"

Ah Jian couldn't hold back.She was the first to speak, and she still vividly remembered what Luyin did.

"If the emperor really allows her to do evil in the harem, it can only be said that he loves Lu Yin too deeply, and I have nothing to say."

The scene in the royal study just now was still imprinted in her mind. She didn't know if Nangong Yan was acting on the occasion, but he obviously still had concerns about Lu Yin.

"You are the head of the six palaces, how can you let her play wild on your head, of course you have to punish her severely!" A Jian didn't want what happened before to Yu Qiqi again.

"This time, the maid also agrees with what Miss A Jian said." Zhao Niang frowned, it was rare to stand on the same front as A Jian.

"Nangong Yan asked her to come, if he wants her to leave, he has to drive him away." Yu Qiqi clenched her hands tightly, her knuckles turning white slightly.

As soon as she saw Tang Yiyi, she thought of Luyin, and asked her to do it herself, and even dirty her hands.

In this way, Ah Jian and Zhao Niang did not dare to speak, what she said was correct.

At night, when Nangong Yan returned to the bedroom from the imperial study, apart from Chu Peiyu, Tang Yiyi followed behind him.Seeing that Nangong Yan didn't speak, Chu Peiyu didn't say anything to her and let her follow.

When he was about to lie down, Tang Yiyi walked in from the outside and stood in front of him, reaching out to take off his clothes.

"What are you doing?" Nangong Yan's eyes were cold, and there was no expression on his cold face.

"Didn't the emperor say today that he wants his servants to serve you to rest?" She whispered.Even though she yelled at her in the imperial study room, she still took his words seriously.

"Don't you think what I said is true?" After all, she was once a royal princess, so she can't read her words?

"As long as it is what the emperor says, Yi'er always takes it seriously." Tang Yiyi raised her head.A pair of watery eyes fixed on him tightly.

On her face, there was a shadow of green chanting.

Once, his queen mother went to Qingshui Temple to offer incense, and no one cared about him, so he covered Lu Yin's eyes and said that he would give her a surprise and let her follow him without opening her eyes.

She thought it would be a surprise to welcome her, so she listened to him immediately and let him walk forward with her eyes covered, but who would have thought that he would take her to an abandoned courtyard in the back garden, green chanting He was most afraid of being black, and immediately passed out from crying.

Afterwards, he asked her why she didn't open her eyes on the way there. If she opened her eyes, she would be able to see through his scheme and he would not be able to scare her.

But she said something that he remembered for a long time. She said that she believed him, as long as it was what he said, she would believe it.

It was from then on that Nangong Yan began to fall in love with Lu Yin.A person who can believe in himself without hesitation is the greatest comfort to him.

When he was in a daze, all the clothes on Tang Yiyi's body had been taken off, and he sat on Nangong Yan's body. He looked back, stared at the face in front of him, slightly raised her jaw with his fingers, "You look like her Very similar, but you are still not her."

She was stunned for a moment, and the next moment, his low growl sounded in her ears. "roll."

Tang Yiyi fell to the ground, tears slid down both sides of her cheeks and dripped into her clothes on the ground, she hurriedly picked up the clothes and put them on, and ran out.

It wasn't until that figure disappeared from his inner hall that he slowly opened his lips, "And you have always betrayed me."

On the second day, rumors spread from unknown sources in the palace that the maid next to Nangong Yan was about to climb into his bed, and was kicked out by Nangong Yan.

All of a sudden.Tang Yiyi became a joke in the palace, as long as the palace maids and eunuchs passed by her side, they would point and point at her.

She was originally a noble eldest princess, but she fell to this fate.She sneaked into the corner and wiped the tears off her face with her hands.

When she heard the rumors, Yu Qiqi was taken aback. She thought that Nangong Yan would make a fake show, but she never thought that Tang Yiyi would be kicked out by him.

On the other hand, A Jian raised his eyebrows completely, "It seems that it doesn't matter whether this person is driven away or not, anyway, the emperor will never accept her."

On the other hand, Zhao Niang looked worried, and she was not as relaxed as A Jian, "But she was also the eldest princess of Xichu after all, so will she still have someone behind?"

"What can I do, she's a weak woman." A Jian retorted disapprovingly.

Yu Qiqi's eyes were also covered with a layer of deep meaning, "Zhao Niang is right, even if Nangong Yan wants her to stay in the palace, but with her fierceness, it is absolutely impossible to stay here so willingly." Being humiliated in the palace, either he really fell in love with Nangong Yan, or he wanted revenge."

"Ah? Then what if she falls in love with the emperor?" A Jian licked her lips, a trace of astonishment flashed in her eyes.

"If she really likes the emperor, it depends on the emperor's attitude." Yu Qiqi lowered her head and took a sip of tea.

Moreover, Nangong Yan's eyes are so poisonous, can it be impossible to tell whether Tang Yiyi likes him or not?

A Jian still sighed to herself, Yu Qiqi was too calm, making her feel that losing her first child had changed her mind a lot.

Shen Feihong entered the palace when rumors were flying all over the sky. He has not been idle these two days. Ever since he saw Tang Yiyi's side, he has privately searched for the relationship between Luyin and Tang Yiyi.

After hesitating for a long time, he still planned to tell Nangong Yan, lest he suffer from the woman.

"The rumors about wearing clothes in the palace are true?" But when he came to Nangong Yan, he asked what happened in the palace.

Nangong Yan had a look of contempt on his face, "Since it's a rumor, what is the uncle doing listening to it?" He teased him.

"Look at you, am I asking you?" He narrowed his guilty eyebrows.

"It's true." He replied calmly.

Shen Feihong nodded slightly, and then asked, "Do you know the relationship between Tang Yiyi and Er Luyin?"

"what relationship?"

He didn't investigate this, and he didn't think it was necessary. No matter what the relationship between Tang Yiyi and Lu Yin was, Lu Yin was no longer in this world.

"Tang Yiyi's mother and concubine are also Lu Yin's mother and concubine, and Lu Yin has the blood of the Western Chu royal family." Shen Feihong sighed.

Nangong Yan nodded, as a response to him.

Shen Feihong didn't take his disapproval seriously.He continued: "It's just that Lu Yin was exiled in the world because of the harem fighting for favor. Later, when she came to Yanjing, she happened to be rescued by your mother and concubine."

"Where did you find it?"

Everyone in the royal family of Xichu died, and the concubines in the harem also committed suicide with Emperor Xichu. Nangong Yan couldn't figure out where he found out.

"You don't know that. I went to Xichu and found the nanny who sent Lu Yin out of the palace, so I found out." Shen Feihong said triumphantly.

"In terms of investigating cases, no one really can compare to you." Nangong Yan shook his head submissively.

Shen Feihong was still complacent, but felt that his words were not quite right, "Are you praising me or hurting me?"

"Since the emperor's uncle is so good at investigating cases, he should be able to tell whether he is praising you or hurting you." Nangong Yan first praised him, and then severely hurt him again.

Only then did he realize that it was not right for him to investigate the relationship between Tang Yiyi and Luyin this time. Even if he found out, Nangong Yan was not very interested, as if whether the two of them were related had nothing to do with him any impact.

After thinking about it carefully, he realized that it really didn't matter.

Even if Tang Yiyi was Lu Yin's biological sister, Nangong Yan would not feel pity for her because of his relationship with Lu Yin. Lu Yin had already hurt him deeply.

Going out of the palace, he met Tang Yiyi who was walking up from the jade steps. When she saw Shen Feihong, she gave him a slight blessing, with tears still on her face, obviously she was bullied.

"I don't want to go outside the palace, but I have to come here to suffer." Shen Feihong said in a low voice.

"Thank you, Uncle Guo, for your concern."

She is still a blessed body.

The servant also noticed that the airs she had put on before were gone, and she was completely cautious. Presumably, the rumors in the palace hit her too hard.

Even so, Nangong Yan didn't care about the rumors in the harem, and let them spread, which showed his determination.He didn't care about Tang Yiyi at all, and those rumors gradually died down.

However, he didn't fool Yu Qiqi. Recently, after he finished his court affairs, he would go to the Li'an Hall to chant scriptures to mourn his deceased eldest prince.

Several times, Yu Qiqi bumped into him in the Li'an Hall, but it was only a little bit of a blessing, and the two of them had no interaction after the effort to say hello.

Two months before the eldest prince passed away, the master of Qingshui Temple told Yu Qiqi and Nan Gongyan that the scriptures they both needed to copy were for the elder prince's salvation, and that they had to work together to complete it, so that they would have the opportunity to get along alone.

In those few days, Nangong Yan had to go to Yu Qiqi's place every time. The weather in February was cold in late spring, and the cold spring was steep and very cold.

Every time Nangong Yan went back to her place, it was a little difficult for her hand to lift a pen, but he was also a martial arts practitioner. Yu Qiqi never thought that he could not even overcome the coldness, so she had to ask Zhao Niang to prepare it every time. A hand warmer, keep it for him as a spare.

With the hand warmer to warm his hands, Nangong Yan copied the scriptures much more smoothly.

When Yu Qiqi was in the East Palace, he was often punished by him to copy scriptures, maybe because of her experience, she always wrote faster than Nangong Yan.

"Why do you always copy faster than me? Is it easier for you?" Nangong Yan didn't quite believe it. She flipped through the scriptures in front of her, and after a while, it was the same as his, only to realize that she was thinking too much up.

"The emperor has the time to look it up, so he has already finished copying it." Yu Qiqi teased him in a disdainful tone.

Nangong Yan withdrew his eyes, lowered his head to copy honestly, and then he remembered that when Yu Qiqi was in the East Palace, he was often punished to copy scriptures, so it was not surprising that he often wrote faster than him.Thinking of this, he was convinced.

It's just that there are always things that are not as expected. On this day, the two of them copied well. Somehow, the pen in Yu Qiqi's hand was scratched on his sleeve, and on the dragon robe of the Ming Emperor, that smear of black It looked particularly dazzling, "Queen, you..."

He endured it and didn't growl.

Knowing that he likes to be tidy, Yu Qiqi hurriedly called Zhaoniang, "Hurry up and help the emperor change his clothes."

When Zhaoniang saw the smear on his cuff, she immediately agreed. When Yu Qiqi scribbled on him, she was the one who cleaned it up. Zhaoniang hurriedly called the palace servants to get a clean Clothes come here.

When he wanted to help him put it on, he stopped him and said: "Wait a minute, since the empress caused the trouble, this matter needs to be settled by the empress."

There was a flash of interest in his eyes.

Yu Qiqi narrowed her eyes, she was the one who accidentally twisted the brocade handkerchief in her hand, but she still stepped forward and said: "Give it to me, you can go down."

"Yes."

Zhao Niang hurriedly retreated with the maids.

She stretched out her hand to untie Nangong Yan's dragon robe, and put on the clothes Zhaoniang had brought for him. When she was done, when she was about to let go, he grabbed her hand that hadn't let go, "Still angry with me." ?"

This was the first time he asked her what was in her heart after returning to the palace.

Yu Qiqi struggled to take his hand off, but he grabbed it even tighter, "It's not my original intention to lead the troops to Western Chu."

He explained in a low voice.

"But what is the reason for you to abandon me and the child like this?" Yu Qiqi still couldn't figure it out.

"Lu Zhensheng said, there is an evil star in the palace. If I don't leave the palace, I and the eldest prince will be injured. At that time, I can't stay in the palace at the risk of my life. If something really happens to our child , then I will blame myself even more."

He narrowed his eyes and said what he hadn't told her all this time.

Yu Qiqi's face was full of astonishment, tears welled up in her eyes, she opened her mouth for a long time before asking, "So, are you here to protect Xuan'er?"

"Um."

He nodded.

"But, why did Xuan'er end up?..." She frowned, her words full of confusion.

"That's why I dismissed Lu Zhisheng from his official position. However, I heard from the woman who gave birth to you that everything was fine before you gave birth. Why did you lose your strength during delivery?"

After that incident, it's not that he didn't suspect it, but he was afraid that Yu Qiqi would be sad, so he never asked her.

Thinking back carefully, Yu Qiqi also felt strange, "I don't know, I was able to get up the gas at the beginning on the day of delivery, but after a while, I felt weak all over, and no matter how hard I tried later on, it was useless. "

Her face darkened, and the tears in her eyes slid down, "Xuan'er was suffocated by me..."

"Don't be afraid, if something is really wrong, I will definitely not let him go." Nangong Yan wiped away the tears on her face, her cold eyes were full of determination.

Then, Yu Qiqi raised her head, her face was full of apology, "I misunderstood you."

Seeing her like this, Nangong Yan raised the corners of her lips to comfort her, "You just have to remember, I'm here for everything." Then, those bony hands covered the back of her head.
