"Your Majesty, you must take care of the dragon body. Just now, Concubine Jie sent someone to ask."

Upon hearing this, Pei Yuanhao slowly put down the wine glass in his hand.

I was relieved, too.

I would be so angry that I heard Nangong Lizhu's name, but at this time I knew that she sent someone to ask, I was grateful from the bottom of my heart. After all, I didn't like it, and I was even more accustomed to facing a drunkard. I really wanted to drive him out. I lived in someone else's place and ate someone else's food. I didn't have this position, and Nangong Lizhu led him away, which saved me a lot of effort.

So, I looked at him with awesomeness.

He looked at me, too.

For some reason, maybe it was because he couldn't continue drinking? His face was slightly heavy.

After a while, he said, "Tell her that I'm still having a meal."

"yes."

After receiving the order, Eunuch Yu turned around and walked out.

It seems that he didn't plan to leave immediately, but I didn't put disappointment on my face immediately. Instead, I turned my head and fed a spoonful of rice into Miaoyan's mouth. He looked at me silently. After a while, he said, "Do you really want me to leave immediately?"

"Uh, not."

"No?"

“…”

Seeing him raise his eyebrows slightly, as if he was about to say something, I immediately said, "Is there a king's land in the world? Your Majesty is not a guest anywhere, so how can you let people leave and stay?"

"Then, do you want me to stay?"

My eyebrows frowned slightly.

This type of question is not the first time he asked me. If I really want to answer it, no matter how I answer it, it will be wrong.

So, I still smiled and said, "As it still said, is the king's land under the world? Here, only His Majesty let us mother and daughter leave and let us mother and daughter stay."

In fact, I have answered this sentence almost without any leak. For any emperor, this is a fact that needs no words, but Pei Yuanhao has been looking at me heavily, and his eyes are also a bit gloomy. I don’t know whether he is going to get angry or what, but he is still calmly feeding Miaoyan, just like nothing has happened.

I don’t know how long it took, Pei Yuanhao suddenly said, “Yan Qingying.”

“…”

This was the first time he had called this name solemnly, and my heart suddenly jumped up and I slowly looked up at him.

He looked into my eyes and said slowly: "You said, all the world is the king's land, but there are actually some places under the world that are not under my jurisdiction."

I was stunned for a moment, and immediately felt something, looking at him.

"If you get to that place, will you still let me decide?"

“…”

No wonder he just called me "Yan Qingying".

If it were in Xichuan, in that area that was not under his jurisdiction, I was the eldest lady of the Yan family. At that time, would he still be the one who decided? It turned out that even he himself would have thought of this problem.

I smiled faintly and didn't follow this.

If I answered truthfully, it would be too honest. After all, I am still under the roof. If I don’t answer truthfully, it would be too fake. I felt uncomfortable and he might not believe it.

Smiling by, probably the best answer.

Fortunately, Pei Yuanhao didn't seem to really ask me to answer. After looking at me for a while, he stood up slowly while holding the edge of the table.

I knew he was leaving, so I stood up.

He glanced at me, as if he wanted to say something, but he stopped talking. In the end, he just turned around calmly and walked out. Eunuch Yu, who had been guarding the door, hurriedly came up: "Emperor."

"Go to the Queen."

"yes."

Eunuch Yu served him and left without surprise.

I stood in the room, and the door opened and closed, and the cold wind poured in made me shudder slightly, and I immediately understood that tomorrow is New Year's Eve, which is the day when Nangong Lizhu enthroned him. Pei Yuanhao must stay with her tomorrow night, and today he chose to stay in the Jingren Palace of Queen Chang Qing, which is somewhat of a balance.

He has always favored Nangong Lizhu, but he dare not favor it exclusively.

Although the door was opened and closed for a moment, the cold wind that poured in suddenly made the room cold. I immediately felt Miaoyan beside me shrank for a moment, and hurriedly sat down and hugged her in my arms: "Miaoyan."

She was still staring at the door blankly, and her clear eyes flashed under the swaying candlelight. After a while, she gently said in a slight voice like a mosquito: "Dad..."

My heart trembled violently.

The sound was fleeting and almost blown away by the wind, but I actually heard it. My daughter spoke again, but she called her daddy...

At this moment, my heart was happy and heavy, and I couldn't tell what it felt like for a moment. I just wanted to listen to her voice, but she closed her mouth and stayed quietly.

"Miaoyan..."

I sighed and carried her into my arms.

The next morning, I woke up very early.

Even if it was Jingren Palace and Chang Qing's place, I couldn't completely relieve myself in the palace. I heard the palace maids and eunuchs coming and going out in the morning. After I got up, Su Su and Madam Wu came to serve me in dressing and washing.

I just combed my hair and heard the sound outside being a little different.

Seeing this, Madam Wu led a few little palace maids to put the breakfast items on the table and said softly: "I have just arrived at Concubine Nangong and I have just given the gold book. Now Concubine Nangong brings people to pay homage to the queen and listen to the Queen's instruction."

"oh."

I nodded. The title of the Imperial Concubine was the first major event in the harem. The etiquette in the middle was very complicated and indispensable. Nangong Lizhu had always thought of getting the position of this Imperial Concubine. After so many years of climbing and falling, she finally got what she wanted.

No wonder, there was a joyful look outside.

After combed my hair, I sat at the table and took the hot porridge from Madam Wu and wanted to eat it. Madam Wu asked Su Su to come and serve, and then said, "Miss."

This chapter is not over, please click on the next page to continue reading! I looked up at her: "Mummy is wrong?"

"Yeah."

"What's the matter?"

She glanced at me and said, "It's New Year's Eve today, and I have something to send to the cold palace."

I immediately came to my senses: "Madam Qian?"

She smiled and said, "It's hard for the girl to remember her."

How can you not remember?

During the more than two years when I was imprisoned in the cold palace by Pei Yuanhao, if it weren't for the rich nanny here, I would have died of madness long ago. How could I have had today?

I asked, "She is still in the palace and hasn't left?"

"I'm old and my roots are here. If I want to go out, where will I go?"

“…”

After hearing what she said, she felt helpless and sad.

For me, even Shui Xiu, who got married a few days ago, no matter how unbearable and painful our lives were before, as long as we could leave this red wall, a new life would be waiting for us. But Madam Wu and Madam Qian were different. Their lives were rooted here. They were familiar with everything here, but they were unfamiliar with the daily life of ordinary people outside the red wall. For them, they were already inseparable from this place.

Thinking of this, I couldn't help feeling a little dim.

Madam Wu looked at my lower eyes and said nothing, just said, "Then I'll go down first."

Just as she turned around and was about to leave, my heart suddenly stumbled.

Madam Qian...

She has also served Empress Zhao Lie and has been in this palace for decades. And for the past few years, she has been guarding the palace. If you want to talk about some secret and unknown things in this palace, I am afraid that no one knows much more and sees more than her.

Besides, she was the one who talked to Madam Wu about the country protection master.

There are some things that Madam Wu doesn’t know and refuses to say. Will she know some answers from her?

"Madam, wait a moment," I made up my mind and called Madam Wu, and then said, "Why don't you wait until I finish my meal, I'll go with Madam."

Madam Wu looked at me: "Girl, you want to go too?"

I nodded: "I haven't come back for so many years, so I miss Madam Qian, so I should go and see her."

"That's fine," she said, and said, "Then I'll prepare the things I'll bring with me. When the girl has finished her breakfast, let's go there together."

"good."

As soon as Madam Wu left, I concentrated on feeding Miaoyan a bowl of porridge and some side dishes. I hurriedly ate some things, put on the heavy clothes sent by Susu, and told her to stay here to stay with Miaoyan, and then left with Madam Wu.

The wind blows overnight and the snow falls overnight. When you go out, you will see a world of pink and jade in front of you.

As soon as the wind and snow stopped, the sun came out, shining on the white snow piles, it looked particularly crystal clear and dazzling white. I was wearing thick clothes, but I didn't feel cold. I just stepped into the thick snow one by one, and I felt particularly interesting when I listened to the creaking sound.

Madam Wu and I went out from the back door of Jingren Palace, so it was Chang Qing's explanation that today is the day when Nangong Lizhu was enthroned. She brought so many people to listen to her guidance, and even the ladies from other palaces came. If we were to go in and out of the main gate, it would be a bit eye-catching.

After coming out of the quiet back door, I walked for a while. Because the snow was too thick, it was very laborious to take every step. After a while, I was breathing.

Madam Wu looked back at me, but smiled and said, "The girl's body has improved a lot."

"Yeah?"

"If it were in the past, how could the girl have walked out on such a snowy day?"

I smiled, stepped up a few more steps and followed her, walked another cup of tea, and finally arrived at the cold palace.

Here, as quiet and deserted as ever.

The snow at the entrance of several courtyards passed by was as high as the knees, and no one came to clean it. There was also thick snow on the dead branches in the yard, which could not be held back, so it broke down with a bang.

We walked to Mama Qian's yard, and it was cleaned clean like in the past, but the pool in the middle of the yard had already formed a layer of ice. In the past, some fish were often swimming inside, and they could not be seen at this time.

The doors and windows are closed tightly.

Madam Wu walked up and took a photo of the door twice: "Old Qian, open the door."

It was quiet inside for a while, and then there was a sound of footsteps, the sound of walking with my shoes. The door opened, and Madam Qian, wearing a thick cotton coat, appeared in front of me and said impatiently: "You are early in the morning-"

Before she finished speaking, she saw me.
