Chunyu brought the refreshment. The roast duck that Ye Qingyan had ordered was cut into boneless pieces and was inserted into phoenix pattern forks, which was very convenient.

Ye Qingyan was too lazy to use a fork, so he started to use it directly, and felt better. He used it while eating, "Prime Minister, please use it."

"Thank you, Empress." Ren Ran picked up a silver fork with lotus pattern, his movements were very gentle and elegant, and he took a bite.

Ye Qingyan said: "What's the best in this palace? The imperial kitchen is definitely the best choice. The food you cook is good!"

Ren Ran smiled and said, "What the Empress said is."

The two of them talked and chatted very harmoniously, as if they were back to the foot of Qiang Mountain, the time in the mountain village.

Ran Ran looked at her face, his eyes were far away, as if he had seen another person...

Happy times always pass by, and half an hour passes in a blink of an eye.

Ren Ran finally got to the point.

"After the Empress left with the Dragon Sheep Beast, the Xidi Army also retreated. But soon the Xidi Army attacked again, and this time it was the main force, with a total of about 90,000 soldiers and generals. His Majesty had less than 40,000 soldiers and generals, and most of them were new recruits. They retreated to Wuqu City after ten days of stalemate, but they still could not stop the attack of the Xidi Army. Later, they retreated to Siqu City and Sanqu City. During the period, the deposed prince also raised troops to rebel, and the Chu State and Jin State also harassed the border. At that time, the world was in chaos. In a hurry, the late emperor had long been hollowed out by wine and sex, and it was completely destroyed. The first empress had passed away, the late emperor fell ill, and the Empress Dowager was in power."

"That old woman is awesome." Ye Qingyan picked up a pearl bird's nest soup and drank it slowly.

"I really didn't expect that the Empress Dowager would have such a sharp way."

"It is obvious that the late emperor was not born by her, but she can always enjoy all her wealth and glory. This is also a sign of it. This palace has also reminded His Majesty to beware of this old woman."

"Your Majesty is indeed guarding, otherwise the Empress Dowager..."

"So that's it." She really saved Concubine Duan's life and allowed her to escape. But why are these mother-in-laws so harsh to their daughter-in-law? Alas!

"The Empress Dowager sent troops to resist Chu and Jin, and sent envoys to Li, hoping to unite the power of Li to fight against Jin and Chu. The Emperor of Li finally agreed to send troops, but to help Jizhou fight against Xidi, not Jin and Chu. The Empress Dowager was a little disappointed, but if Jizhou could repel Xidi, it would also be a shock to Chu and Jin. Therefore, he agreed to the request of the Emperor of Li."

"Requirement?" Ye Qingyan recalled what requests the Emperor of Li in his previous life made...

"Marriage!" Renran said it without waiting for her to remember.

"Marriage?" Ye Qingyan frowned, "Who are you with?"

"The Third Princess of Li Kingdom."

"Three Princess?" Ye Qingyan had a very shallow impression of the third princess of Li Kingdom and couldn't remember it.

"The third princess of Li Kingdom married His Majesty and became a fair wife with the Queen."

“…”

"Your Majesty was full of empresses at that time, how could he accept the Third Princess of Li State? But before His Majesty could oppose, the Third Princess of Li State suddenly heard of elopement with others. It turned out that the Third Princess of Li State had his own sweetheart. Not only did he elope, he also had a secret marriage. Li State felt deeply sorry for Your Majesty and Yan Chao, but there was no marriage between the orthodox princess, so he sent a princess with a different surname over here."

"A princess with a different surname?"

"It's Concubine Xue. Her real name is Ji Xue. She is the adopted daughter of Emperor Li, who married the prince as a concubine."

"The concubine..." Ji Xue was indeed a concubine in her previous life, but there was no difference.

Destiny is a pit. No matter how you walk around, you will fall into it in the end!

"After Concubine Xue came to Yiqucheng, he helped His Majesty repel the Xidi Army. However, His Majesty was just courteous to her and had no affection for her children. Later one day, His Majesty suddenly became kind to Concubine Xue and never broke up with the Queen's affairs."

"Suddenly change?" Ye Qingyan frowned, thinking about the alienated and cold eyes of the guy after she saw Xiao Changqi, and the slightest love of the past disappeared. After all, she took away the Dragon Sheep Beast and helped him, why was she so cold?

"But after Your Majesty met the Queen again, there have been obvious changes."

"What changes? He is not as affectionate and righteous as he is lonely and kind, and he is benevolent and betrayed. He is going to be the best of the poor and humble. He will give up when he says he is poor and humble. If he had known this, I would not have come back. He is free and comfortable in the Yao Palace, with auspicious birds and spirit beasts, and a handsome man to accompany him. His life is also very comfortable. Why bother to come back here and suffer? He is locked in a cage, staring blankly every day, looking at the darkness, and then sleeping, and continuing to repeat at dawn. The life I want has never been like this."

"Actually... His Majesty should be enough for the Empress to be with him in the palace, right?" Ren Ran glanced at the direction behind Ye Qingyan, picked up the teacup and continued to drink tea, as if he was concealing something.

"I don't want the ruthless and innocent handsome man. I want that kind of gentle and considerate person. Actually... Shao Qing is really my ideal type, but unfortunately he died."

"Shao Qing? Is the Lord of Li Hua from Biluo Mansion?" asked Ren Ran.

Ye Qingyan nodded, "Do you know him?"

"I only met him last month. He was named Shao Qing and came to the capital to deal with private affairs."

"What did you say? Shao Qing was not dead!" Ye Qingyan stood up from the stool in a 'swept~' and looked at Ren Ran in surprise.

"Why, do you want to find him?" A cold voice that sounded like a cold sweat made people cry from behind.

Ye Qingyan turned around and faced Xiao Changqi. In fact, she had known that he was behind him for a long time. When she said that he was indifferent, she knew that he was unkind. What she said later was deliberately angering him. Even saying that Shao Qing was her ideal type was angering him. Because she thought that the man was dead, and that living people could not fight against dead people. Even if he no longer liked her, as his woman, if other men were ideal types, they would be depressed.

But if Shao Qing is still alive... then she would have caused trouble for her and Shao Qing!

what to do?!

Tell him, I was trying to get angry with you on purpose?

With his words, he could tell the eleven bends of a bend. He would definitely not believe it, and he would even think that she was trying to cover up the truth in order to protect Shao Qing.

"I just like Shao Qing and want to find him. What do you want? Why do you have three palaces and six courtyards?"

"I'm going to Lingchi and Shao Qing!" Xiao Changqi was about to leave when he spoke.

Ye Qingyan said: "If you dare to hurt him, I will dare to keep him in peace for the rest of my life. You will never be able to overcome a dead person."

"You! Do you really think I can't do anything to you?"

"Of course you can, you are the king of a country, you can do more to me. If you want me to live, I can live, and if I want me to die, I can't live the next moment, and even make me worse than death. You are so capable! It's so great!" Ye Qingyan left sarcastically.
