The palace is quiet, and the empress of the cold palace is acting as a demon

Chapter 467
Qin Wan sat in the private room on the top floor of Binhu Building, the best tavern beside the Tang River in Zoucheng, drinking tea while looking at the infinite lake view.

The sound of horseshoes came from the long street of Zoucheng, followed by the sound of clanging footsteps. Qin Wan turned to look at the door. A handsome general with white hair and golden pupils appeared at the door in black military uniform.

The moment he saw Qin Wan, his eyes were full of shock and disbelief.

Qin Wan stood up, smiled and said, "Qing Chi, long time no see."

Ning Qingchi bowed his hands and knelt in front of Qin Wan: "My son, see the queen mother."

Qin Wan hurriedly stepped forward to help him up, obviously he was still a baby in her arms when he left, how could he have thought that when they met again, he would already be such a tall boy.If it weren't for his long white hair, golden eyes, and facial features very similar to Ning Yi, Qin Wan would not dare to recognize him.

Qin Wan pulled Qingchi to sit at the table, smiled and poured a cup of tea for the dusty Qingchi, and asked, "Did your sister tell you I'm here?"

Qingchi took the tea cup handed over by Qin Wan with both hands, nodded respectfully and replied: "Miss Huang suddenly sent a letter saying that you are in Zoucheng, and my son came here as soon as possible."

"Thanks for your hard work." Qin Wan felt that the atmosphere was a little awkward. Even if the mother and son hadn't seen each other for 15 years, they suddenly met each other like this. Compared with the longing itself, it was more about not knowing what to say.

Qingchi: "Mother, where have you been all these years?"

Qin Wan nodded: "I was reincarnated on a closed island in Penglai, that's why you couldn't find me."

After Qingchi heard this, he suddenly realized: "Penglai Island... No wonder I searched everywhere and couldn't find you. I didn't expect you to be on the island."

Qin Wan: "I didn't expect to be there either, but the scenery on the island is beautiful, and life is ordinary without any disturbance."

Hearing what Qin Wan said, Qingchi felt a little relieved: "That's good."

Qin Wan stared at Qingchi and asked, "I remember I taught you how to hide the white hair and golden pupils."

Qingchi nodded: "But I think that's very troublesome, and I don't think it's necessary."

Qin Wan smiled reassuringly, "I'm relieved if you think so."

"But the only bad thing is that there are always rumors that the minister is not your own," Qingchi said with a smile, "the minister was arguing with those people at the beginning, and then the emperor ordered that anyone who dares to spread rumors should be punished, and then it subsided rumours."

Seeing Qingchi's bright and cheerful personality, Qin Wan couldn't help but also smiled wryly: "I haven't seen you for so many years. If it wasn't for your white hair and golden pupils when you came in just now, I wouldn't have dared to recognize you. When I saw you, I Knowing that this must be my little green pond, there is absolutely no mistake."

Hearing what Qin Wan said, Qingchi couldn't help laughing even more happily: "Mother, I came to see you non-stop, and I'm hungry."

"Okay, hurry up and get them to serve." Qin Wan smiled.

"Come here, serve the food!" Qingchi shouted to the door.

Qin Wan: "By the way, besides telling you that I'm here, did your sister say anything else?"

Qingchi: "Sister Huang said that Ning Xizhao wanted to harm you, so let me quickly protect you."

Qin Wan was stunned: "Miaomiao said that?"

Qingchi nodded: "I also find it very strange. From what I know about Ning Xizhao, although he usually looks cold, he is by no means the kind of person who does anything for power. I don't think he has much interest in power. , Every day in the court, he seems to be fulfilling the task in a proper manner, and he doesn't feel like being in power at all. So after thinking about it, I can't think of why Ning Xizhao would hurt your mother."

"Oh?" Qin Wan braced his chin and thought, "That's weird, I can't figure it out either."

At this time, the food was brought up, and the table was full.

Qin Wan: "You're hungry, eat quickly."

"Mother, please first." Qingchi respectfully said.

Qin Wan smiled and took a bite with the chopsticks, before Qingchi started to eat the food with the chopsticks.

"By the way, mother, why didn't you go back to the palace?" Qingchi asked.

Qin Wan: "Your father is not here, what's the point of me going back. The palace is like a big cage, you don't like being locked up, and you run around Kyushu every day."

Qingchi: "Mother, after all these years, haven't you let go of your father?"

Qin Wan shook her head: "How could it be possible to let go. But you, why are you almost 20 years old and haven't married yet?"

Qingchi waved his hand: "My father only met his mother when he was 26 years old. I'm still early."

"Is there no suitable person?" Qin Wan asked.

Qingchi smiled: "It's better to lack than to abuse."

"It's up to you," Qin Wan said, "You can also go to Cangming and Qingyao Mountain occasionally, maybe you can meet the beautiful little demon girl and little demon boy."

"It's nothing more than a demon girl." Qingchi frowned and looked at Qin Wan, "You really dare to say that about a demon boy."

Qin Wan raised her eyebrows: "So what, as long as you like it."

"Mother, everyone says that Huang Jie has a temper like yours, but I think you have a much better temper than her," Qingchi said, "If Huang Jie hears this, she will beat me to death."

Qin Wan sighed silently: "The burden on Miaomiao's shoulders was too heavy since she was a child. I taught her to master the formation technique, so I locked her in the barrier, and she could no longer live so freely. It's you, Bi Xiao It’s much more cheerful.”

Qingchi said: "I have been running wild in Kyushu, and I know many people in the rivers and lakes. I went to Xishu last year and met the King of Shu and Aunt Ning Fei. The King of Xishu said that you took me to live in Xishu when I was young. It's been a while, unfortunately I don't even remember."

"Oh? You met Ji Yan." Qin Wan was a little surprised, "Well, I brought you to live with him for a short time. Ning Fei didn't say anything when he saw you, right?"

"Aunt Ningfei obviously doesn't like me very much, but she's kind to me." Qingchi said honestly, "It's the king of Xishu who gave me a lot of high-quality wound medicine and was very warm to me. I heard that you were Almost married him, is there such a thing?"

Qin Wan smiled: "No, don't listen to the rumors, Ji Yan and I are just friends."

"Friend?" Qingchi pursed his lips in disbelief, "How do you explain the tall and beautiful Wangwan Building in Xishu that is renovated every two years?"

"What is Wangwanlou, I don't know." Qin Wan said panickedly, and took a sip of tea with a guilty conscience.

Qin Wan and Qing Chi chatted happily while eating, and chatted about some old news to a pair of old friends who met in a foreign land. The laughter spread out the window and fell on the sparkling lake.

At this time, a group of people also arrived in Zoucheng and outside the Binhu Tower.

Qin Wan heard the voice outside, sighed and said, "Xi Zhao should have arrived."

As he said that, there were footsteps going up the stairs calmly, and he came outside the private room on the top floor.

Seeing Ning Xizhao, Qingchi stood up and walked to him, and the two embraced like brothers.

Qingchi: "I didn't expect you to be quite fast."

Ning Xizhao patted Qingchi's shoulder like a big brother, then looked at Qin Wan, and bowed his hands in salute: "I see the empress."

Qin Wan: "Xi Zhao, sit down quickly. Qingchi, tell them to remove the dishes from this table and bring new ones up."

Qingchi listened to Qin Wan's order and went to call someone to change the dishes.

Ning Xizhao sat down at the table, and the maid stepped forward and poured him tea.

Qin Wan asked Ning Xizhao: "Didn't you just return to the palace, why did you suddenly come to Zoucheng again?"

Ning Xizhao said: "The day before yesterday, I learned that it was your intention that Xun Zheng, the servant of the Ministry of Rites, was transferred to Danzhou to serve as the shepherd of Danzhou. Because the general had previously rejected this matter in the court, I came here to apologize to you in person."
