Palace Scheming: the Queen In the Cold Palace I

Chapter 14 Meeting an old friend in the court (3)

"The Queen hasn't answered my words yet." Looking straight at the delicate but expressionless face in front of him, Xuanyuan Ze thought of her changeable expressions when facing that man, and suddenly felt very uncomfortable.

 Why is she always so unchanging when facing herself?

"No." Shaking her head frankly, Yun Qing suddenly realized that the distance between herself and him was less than half a foot, and she was leaning against the pillar, unable to move at all.

She was very uncomfortable and wanted to get out of the way, but Xuanyuan Ze seemed to see his motive. He stretched out his big hand and clasped her chin tightly. His cold voice made Bi Tao frightened and immediately knelt down: "The Queen is so chic. It’s amazing. You don’t have to bow to me when you see me, and you don’t speak like a concubine. This kind of honor is really extremely noble!”

With his hand slightly withdrawn, he saw Yun Qing's clear and beautiful eyes gradually changing from the coldness just now to slightly angry.

 Okay, good, finally there is a change!

 Otherwise, he would really think that he was just air in her eyes, air that could be ignored at any time.

"If the emperor wants Yun Qing to salute, please step back half a step so that Yun Qing can salute. As for the word concubine, Yun Qing remembers that the emperor said that Yun Qing is just a queen in name only and is not worthy of being your woman. So Yun Qing Qing is self-aware and dare not make false claims." Yun Qing looked at this unreasonable man coldly, the pain on her jaw made her even more angry, and she no longer wanted to be bullied by him.

If she had not seen the wind just now, then she might be able to control her emotions at this moment and continue to be a silent queen.

However, she thought that she would never be able to be with Feng again because of the person in front of her. This loss, along with the pain he caused her, made her lose her original calm.

"Oh, if that's the case, then why did the queen call herself my concubine just now in the main hall?" Xuanyuan Ze seemed to be satisfied with Yun Qing's anger, but Xuanyuan Ze raised the corners of his lips, deliberately making things difficult.

"The emperor is the king of a country. If you want to embarrass Yun Qing, you only need to say one sentence. Yun Qing can only say that above the court, Yun Qing is the emperor's nominal wife, a concubine, which is a title for summoning courtiers, no For other reasons. In private, Yun Qing will also take into account the emperor's mood and never mention the word "concubine". "In normal times, Yun Qing would not contradict him. But she was in a very bad mood at the moment, and she didn't want to suffer his unfounded ill will.

So what about the emperor? She never made a mistake or made a mistake. Every word, every word and every action was done according to his Xuanyuan Ze's preferences. What should he be dissatisfied with!

Sure enough, in response to Yun Qing's sober words, Xuanyuan Ze's good mood fell back to the bottom again.

Staring at those clear and beautiful eyes, he remembered that just now, her eyes had overflowed with undue tears for the man in white. At that moment, his heart suddenly tightened, and he squeezed his hand subconsciously. The pain made Yun Qing frown and gasp.

Even so, she would not give in. She still looked coldly into those flaming handsome eyes and bit her lower lip tightly to prevent herself from crying out in pain.

"Your Majesty, forgive me. Miss is outspoken, but she has absolutely no disrespect to the Emperor. Please don't hurt Miss, please spare Miss." Bi Tao saw that Miss was so painful that her eyebrows were twisted together, and her chin was even red and white. Alternately, it can be seen that the strength of the emperor's hand has caused the lady extreme pain.

 I immediately felt so distressed that I kowtowed my head, and tears fell from my eyes.

"Bitao doesn't want it." Yun Qing was worried, feeling sorry for the silly Bitao who would break his head if he knocked like this.

It doesn't matter if she suffers some grievances, but she can't let Bitao suffer, otherwise even if she fights for the empty position of queen, she still has to protect Bitao.

"Bitao, get up! Don't beg for mercy from this emperor who only knows how to bully the weak. He only knows...well..." Yun Qing was only anxious to call out to Bitao, but did not notice that Xuanyuan Ze in front of him had bright eyes after hearing her words. Staring, it was a bit incredible that she would describe herself like this.

Before Yun Qing finished speaking, she felt her eyes darken, and then her lips felt warm... A warm lip directly covered her cold lips, causing her whole body to tremble, her eyes to widen and her eyes to freeze. In place.

 Him, what is he doing?

In a moment of surprise, Xuanyuan Ze's smooth tongue easily broke into her mouth, tightly entangled her soft lilac tongue, and sucked deeply.

Ben subconsciously wanted to seal her mouth that constantly undermined him, but an unexpected and beautiful feeling aroused his mind, causing him to involuntarily kiss her lips deeply, and the kiss became deeper and deeper...

 “Uh!” Suddenly he grunted, and the slender figure in front of him had already pushed him away, with an angry look on his face.

He was startled, not expecting that she would dare to push him away. What made him even more confused was that he had just taken the initiative to kiss her.

"Miss." Bi Tao was stunned with fear. Seeing blood stains on the lady's lips and alternating red and white on her face, she intuitively thought that the lady was injured, so she stepped forward and took out a silk handkerchief to wipe it for her.

But Chang Le had sharp eyes and saw blood on the emperor's lips. He screamed and stepped forward to help, but the emperor calmly waved it away.

"Your Majesty, please respect yourself!" Yun Qing knew that he was in trouble and was busy pre-empting Xuanyuan Ze's words: "The Emperor seems to have said that Yun Qing is not worthy of being the Emperor's woman! Then Yun Qing really doesn't know what the Emperor did just now. what for?"

Even though the fingertips in his sleeves had dug into the palm of his hand, Yun Qing forced himself to remain calm and looked at the angry face without any sign of weakness.

She could understand why he was angry, but she didn't understand why he kissed her just now.

 Although she is his wife, he has no interest in her at all, right?

 Is it just because he angered him that he wanted to humiliate himself in this way?

And he did succeed. He had always adhered to etiquette, and even if he was in love with Feng, he would never go too far. But now...

"You are my queen, do I still need to explain when I kiss my own queen?" Xuanyuan Ze's face turned red, and he couldn't understand that he would kiss a woman other than Wan'er, and it was still very annoying to him. queen.

At this moment, when she was scolding him for a while, he couldn't help but think of his promise to Wan'er, and at the same time he felt even more disgusted with this woman who made him feel sorry for Wan'er.

If she hadn't flirted with other men and flirted with other men in front of him, then he wouldn't have felt that he had lost the emperor's face and wanted to punish her.

 Yes, thinking about the look on her face when she looked at the man just now, he was sure that they must have known each other, and their relationship was very close.

 But she actually bit herself just now. Damn it, does she want to keep her virginity for that man?

Hands couldn't help but clenched tightly. Under Yun Qing's cold glare, Xuanyuan Ze no longer felt that he was in the wrong.

"Since the Queen knows her position in my heart, it's best not to offend me. From now on, the Queen is not allowed to step out of the Golden Phoenix Palace unless specially summoned by the Queen Mother! If I find out, the Queen will know the consequences! Huh!" After saying that, he raised his head Xiu wiped the corners of his lips, flicked his sleeves angrily, coldly dropped a few words and strode away.

In the distance, a slender figure swayed slightly, then hurriedly turned around and disappeared into a place where no one could see it.

Yun Qing's face was pale, and all the strength she had just now was slumped. Looking at the back of the figure who was determined to leave, she breathed a sigh of relief.

"Bitao, are you okay?" She turned around and saw Bitao's eyes that were red and swollen from crying. She felt sad, reached out and gently touched her already red forehead, and said softly: "Don't do this again next time, I don't know. Will I feel bad?"

"Miss..." Bi Tao's voice was choked, and she hugged Yun Qing tightly, her clothes wet with tears, "Miss, don't do this again next time, we should be the same as before, just don't fight for anything, don't fight for anything... "

 “Okay!” Yun Qing patted Bi Tao gently and smiled extremely bitterly.

She never thought about fighting for anything, but those people just wanted to provoke her.

 Alas, that’s all. Bitao is right, it doesn't matter whether you fight or not, you just need to continue to endure!

It was night, Bi Tao had already fallen asleep, but Yun Qing couldn't fall asleep.

Gently stroking the delicate jade flute, she couldn't help but think of the time when she saw the wind again during the day. I miss him more than usual.

With a low sigh, she got out of bed, lightly wrapped in fox fur, and walked out of the inner hall alone with her jade flute.

 The cold air rushed towards his face, Yun Qing shivered subconsciously, stretched out his hands to gather his fox fur, and looked up at the sky.

 The moonlight tonight is very pale and there are many stars, like a group of naughty children, blinking at her.

 Walking to the plum garden, under the sparse starlight, her snow-white fox fur almost blended into the plum blossoms in the garden. Quietly smelling the fragrance of the flowers in the garden, she felt slightly touched, and couldn't help but pick up the jade flute and start blowing it gently.

For a moment, the beautiful flute sound was melodious, soft and soothing; in the silent night, not only did it not seem abrupt, but it made people feel as if they were in a quiet and empty valley, feeling relaxed and happy, as if they had entered a magical world.

Bitao turned over in her sleep, raised the corners of her mouth to the pleasant sound of the flute, and gradually entered a beautiful and hazy dreamland.

Yun Qing played the flute gently, letting the memories take him back to the happy time he and Feng once spent together, with a sweet smile on his face.

Feng, that young man in white clothes is now more and more handsome and elegant, but she can only look into his eyes and call him a strange name.

She still remembers every look in his eyes, the warmth of his palms, his happy laughter; the warm and throbbing kiss he placed on her forehead before he left...

 Hehe, the wind...

If we are not destined, the lantern that I let fly by my own hands will happen to float into your hands, allowing you to find me again; if we are destined, we will end up passing by by the wrong hand, and we will never be able to stay together for the rest of our lives.

 Feng, if there is an afterlife, I hope we will never wait and never miss each other again...

The sound of the flute gradually became dull, and a tear slipped quietly from the corner of the dreamer's eyes. However, Xuanyuan Ze, who had also not fallen asleep in the distance, felt his heart tremble. Touched by such a sad sound of the flute, his handsome eyes opened in the darkness, and then Can't be closed anymore.

He thought of the time he met Yun Qing during the day, the coldness and indifference she had towards him, and her words that were obviously right but made him feel extremely bad...

 He also remembered that when he kissed her impulsively, he saw her eyes full of shock and trembling.

At that moment, he even forgot what he was doing. He just wanted to kiss her deeply, **** her sweetness, and let her only see him.

But she unexpectedly pushed herself away and even bit herself...

His fingers subconsciously touched his lips, he sighed secretly and blinked.

He found that at that moment, he was more disappointed than angry, and he couldn't figure out what kind of mood he was feeling.

 He didn't understand why he was like this. He obviously hated her, but he unexpectedly took the initiative to kiss her.

 He thought that he must have been mad at her at that time to do such an abnormal behavior.

Turning his head to look at Wan'er sleeping beside him, he apologized silently in his heart.

She was so gentle and virtuous, and he didn't give her the posthumous position he had promised her, but she didn't mind, she just wanted to be by her side.

Now, he deceived her for the first time because of that scheming woman, and he was really sorry for her.

Thinking of this, he couldn't help but kiss He Ruowan's forehead lovingly, his handsome eyes glowing softly.

　　No, that woman is extremely rich and seduces men everywhere regardless of her shame. Now, although it is inconvenient for him to destroy her directly, banning her in the Golden Phoenix Palace is equivalent to banishing her to the cold palace. He decided not to see her again, but to stay with Wan'er, and when the time was right, he would kill her so that Wan'er could truly become his queen!

Thinking of this, he felt a little relieved, no longer paying attention to the sound of the flute in the distance, and prepared to sleep with peace of mind.

However, the sound of the flute suddenly stopped at this moment, and a tune similar to the sound of the flute just now came from the other direction.

It's just that this time the instrument is replaced by a flute, which has a slightly different sound quality from the flute just now, and the playing strength is also different, but it is still crisp and sweet.

However, the sound of the flute lacks the hazy beauty of the flute sound, with a layer of human warmth and coldness, making it seem particularly melancholy in the silent night.

With a frown on his face, Xuanyuanze identified the direction in which the sound of the flute came from Ningxin Palace.

The calm heart just now was immediately disturbed by the sound of the flute. After listening quietly for a while, he felt uncomfortable all over his body. He couldn't help but get out of bed gently. In a flash, he disappeared from the Nuanxiang Pavilion.

In the darkness, He Ruowan suddenly opened her eyes. The hand she had been squeezing was released, and she instead grabbed the brocade quilt covering her body and tore it hard.

 Yunqing!

She was chanting this name hatefully in her heart, and the ferocious look on her face would definitely frighten someone out of their souls if they saw it.

She didn’t expect that she was really capable of seducing the emperor and even letting the emperor kiss her!

 Damn it! Not only did she take away her position, but now she also wanted to compete with her for favor.

Hum, she will never let Yun Qing succeed easily. The emperor said that he only loves himself in this life, and even if he makes others his queen, he will not touch her at all.

 “Chi.” The brocade quilt on her hand fell apart with a crash, and He Ruowan’s heart was filled with waves.

  She thought it was time to take action.

 She must find a way to make that woman lose her position as soon as possible and get out of the emperor's sight forever...

Yun Qing was about to go back to the palace to rest, but she heard the sound of a flute not far away, which made her stop and listen curiously.

Ordinarily, it is not unusual to hear the sound of orchestral music at night in the palace, but the music played by this person was the music he had just played. It was also a song "Love the Breeze" that he had composed in the past two years because he missed the wind.

This was originally a cheerful piece of music, but when she started playing it, it had a hint of sadness, thus losing the flavor of the original piece. She felt that she couldn't continue playing it, so she wanted to give up.

But how come this person knows his own music?

Moreover, there was no sense of happiness in the sound of his flute. It was originally a joyful song, but it was turned into a sad song by him, which really made her dumbfounded.

Following the sound of the flute, she walked out of the palace wall and entered a completely unfamiliar place.

The place is covered with weeds, as high as half a man, and as desolate as an uninhabited ruins. A deep winding path in the middle is paved with scattered gravels, winding and leading to an unknown place.

The sound of the flute continued. Driven by curiosity, Yun Qing followed the slightly rough gravel road, separated the weeds on both sides that almost touched his face, and carefully looked for the place where the flute was playing.

If Yun Qing came here in search of the sound before because she was curious about who could learn her own music in such a short time, then now, she is curious about what kind of person would live in such a strange place?

She was even more curious as to why weeds were allowed to grow wildly in the palace without being cleared away.

 Finally, Yun Qing crossed the weeds and came to a place full of pear trees.

Under the bright moonlight, the pear trees in the garden seemed to be full of white pear flowers, which were cool and cold, but elegant and charming.

Not far away, Yunqing was stunned by the white figure in front of him that reflected the moonlight.

The cold beauty is all over the snow, and the lingering fragrance suddenly enters the clothes.

The spring breeze is uncertain and flies towards the jade steps.

Suddenly, a breeze blew up, the branches swayed and the shadows swayed, and the sound of the flute followed the wind, startling the outsiders.

Yunqing suddenly found that he was like a mortal who had entered a fairyland and unexpectedly met the legendary banished immortal. He was deeply shocked by his otherworldly charm.

At this moment, she could not describe the scene in front of her at all. She opened her mouth slightly in surprise and did not dare to make any sound.

Time stands still like this, the clouds are watching quietly, the man is blowing quietly, and all mundane things are outside the sound of the flute.

Suddenly, the sound of the flute suddenly stopped, and Yun Qing's heart skipped a beat, as if it was cut off by the last uncontinuable string.

"Now that you're here, let's finish playing the rest of the music!" Before Yun Qing understood what the other party said, the man had slowly put down his jade flute, and a pair of cold and handsome eyes penetrated the pear tree straight into her. body.

Yun Qing was startled, and then he realized that he had been discovered.

"I'm sorry, I disturbed you." His face was slightly red. For some reason, Yun Qing always felt like a child who was prone to making mistakes in front of this boy who clearly looked younger than him.

This feeling is very strange. In Yunqing's world, she has always made herself sensible early and understood the warmth and warmth of people in this world early.

 But the young man in front of her seemed to be clearer, colder, and more aware of all the emotions in the world than she was.

Perhaps this is why Yun Qing is easily embarrassed in front of him!

"Your music is very nice." The young man did not answer, but said something that surprised Yun Qing.

Yun Qing thought that people like him would not praise others casually.

 It’s not that he is very arrogant, it’s just that he is too cold and indifferent to the world, and he generally doesn’t like these polite words of praise.

"Really? Thank you." With a slight smile, she walked briskly to the boy's side and praised: "You are very smart. You just listened to me play it once and you can play it completely. What a genius."

 The young man did not say anything, he just raised the jade flute in his hand and blew it gently again. This time, he directly played the unfinished part of the second part of the flute, then stopped the flute sound and said calmly: "Behind!"
