After serving tea, I thought I could go back to my room to catch up on sleep, but was dragged into the carriage by Yuan Yanxi.

"Where are we going?" Isn't it a rule to return home after three days?
"Enter the palace to thank Lord Long En." Yuan Yanxi said.

"In such a hurry? Then do we have to change our clothes? The palace gave me a lot of rewards, but I didn't bring any of them. Isn't it too plain?"

Yuan Yanxi cast a glance, but did not return her.

After the carriage started and walked for a block, he said: "Well, what the emperor told others last night, it's okay to go like this."

Yesterday was the wedding night, did the emperor send someone a message?

Looking at her husband's thoughtful expression, Lu Xizhi guessed that the matter might not be as simple as entering the palace to thank her, so she couldn't help but stretched out her hand, and clasped her fingers tightly with the man's hand.

Yuan Yanxi noticed the strength of her hands, and then looked at her with those beautiful eyes, gave her a stable smile, and lightly pecked her mouth: "I have everything."

After entering the palace, the two changed sedan chairs, Lu Xizhi opened a corner, the red walls and green tiles, majestic and majestic, but people can't help but think: How deep is the palace wall, Zhangtai Road is not visible from the tower, once entering the palace gate, it is as deep as the sea, From then on, the high wall will be rid of the red dust.

Sighing lightly, she closed her eyes and tried to calm herself down.

A group of people moved forward slowly along the palace road in soft sedan chairs.

Yuan Yanxi said that today he only needs to greet the emperor and queen.

Chang Xinyue...she had no idea, Yuan Yanxi told her to play by ear.

With her lover by her side, she felt a little relaxed, but she still felt unnatural to the emperor's gaze.

Summoned into the palace by Lu Shun's sharp voice, Lu Xizhi could only force himself, and every time he entered the palace, he did not dare to have any flashy thoughts.

"Let's all get flat." Qi Tianyin's voice was full of joy.

Following the rules, Yuan Yanxi expressed his respect and gratitude, and then under the guidance of Lu Shun, he offered a cup of tea to the emperor.

Emperor Taihe took the tea, took a sip, and then the little eunuch on the side took the teacup with a tray.

Lu Xizhi got up in the same way, picked up a cup of tea again, knelt down in front of the queen, and offered tea.

Chang Xinyue's dignified and beautiful face was full of smiles, she raised her hand to take it, took a sip, put the teacup away, stepped forward with a smile, and helped Lu Xizhi up: "Get up quickly, the ground is cold." She was startled, and was passively supported by the queen.

"Hey, why are your hands so cold?" Chang Xinyue glared at Yuan Yanxi with pity on her face, "I've become a husband and I don't know how to care about my wife. This early spring is no warmer than winter. How can I wear these clothes?" Is it still so cold?"

I am very uncomfortable with this sudden 'concern'...

"It's okay." Lu Xizhi wanted to withdraw his hand, but Chang Xinyue grabbed it firmly.

"It's not a problem, Lian'er, go and warm my hands." The queen was obviously displeased with her words, and the maid called Lian'er went into the room to warm her hands.

Yuan Yanxi frowned: "Don't dare to bother the empress, it's my carelessness."

"You men, you are busy with outside affairs all day long. When you get married, you should care more about your family. A wife is for loving. Are you right?" Chang Xinyue said with a smile, still holding Lu Xizhi with her hand, letting her uneasy.

"Empress, I see that if you don't let go, Jing Ming won't dare to bring Mrs. Lu into the palace again." Qi Tianyin's sudden opening made Chang Xinyue startled, and when she looked up she saw Yuan Yanxi looking at her with a 'nervous' face. wife.

"It is said that Director Yuan has a deep affection for his beloved wife. Seeing your nervous appearance now, it seems that the rumors are true." Chang Xinyue raised her eyebrows and pretended to be angry: "I won't eat her up." What. Why, just holding on for a while, you don't want to give up?"

"I dare not." Yuan Yanxi lowered his head and said.

"You, if you don't let go, I will be jealous." Emperor Taihe said with a smile, stood up at the same time, and held the queen's hand, which was regarded as a relief for Lu Xizhi.

Chang Xinyue was stunned for a moment, then smiled: "It's because I'm too impatient. I've heard that the daughter of the Lu family has repeatedly solved strange cases. She is so talented and intelligent. I like her very much. Yesterday I even said that I should admit it." Be a little daughter, please ask the emperor to seal you a county lord, so that in the future, you can often enter the palace and tell me your stories." She seemed to be coquettish and flattering, even though she was already a mother of two children. , that beautiful face still maintains youth, and a smile can make people dazzled.

Lu Xizhi was naturally taken aback. Sure enough, there was not a single simple person in the deep palace, all of them were 'old demons' who had practiced for thousands of years.

Leaving aside the case that her Chang family framed the Lu family and was almost implicated, it was just that she and Yuan Yanxi investigated the Aria Building, indirectly exposed Chang Renxin, and directly abolished her own son as the crown prince. The Chang family and her should be the same They hated each other to the bone, gnashing their teeth, wishing they could tear each other into pieces.Unexpectedly, after seeing her today, Chang Xinyue acted like a normal person, and wanted to recognize her 'daughter' openly, hiding it so deeply was really eye-opening.

Lu Xizhi just lowered his head, looking a little shy, the servants in the room are also ghost spirits, and there is something in these words that makes people dare not look boldly at the master.

Only Emperor Taihe, his eyes darkened, and then he smiled again, obviously very satisfied with the queen's words, and she held his arm with a smile.

At this time, the court lady named Lian Er also came out holding warm hands, and Chang Xinyue signaled her to bring her to Lu Xizhi.

Seeing the snow-white warm hands, Lu Xizhi hesitated to take it.

"My minister thanked the empress for the reward." Seeing his hesitation, Yuan Yanxi took it on her behalf.

"Although it's spring, it's going to be cold for a while, you all have to take good care of your body." Emperor Taihe led the queen to sit on the chair again, looked at Lu Xizhi, "Looking at your loving couple, I am very pleased."

What followed was some gossip, Lu Xizhi had always spoken little, and she really didn't want to say more when facing Empress Chang, who was hiding a knife in the conversation. Basically, she only answered a question when she was asked.Fortunately, Yuan Yanxi paid close attention to her all the time, and took up the topic from time to time, avoiding many answers that were at a loss.

After the greetings were over, Yuan Yanxi was called by Qi Tianyin to the Imperial Study Room, leaving Lu Xi alone to face Chang Xinyue.

The maids and eunuchs in the house were all dismissed by Chang Xinyue, leaving only Lian Er to wait on her.

Although Lu Xizhi was apprehensive, she knew that sooner or later she would face the queen one day, so she just had to be careful.

The smile on the queen's face gradually faded away since Emperor Taihe left. She pointed to the things on the table and said to Lu Xizhi indifferently: "You guys will go out of the palace in a while, take all these things with you."

"These are..." Lu Xizhi showed doubts on her face, she expected Chang Xinyue's enthusiasm to cool down suddenly, so there was no abnormality on her face.

Anyone who faces the 'enemy' will not have a good face, and for himself, too.

Chang Xinyue's tenderness to her just now was only due to the presence of the emperor's husband, so she kept pretending to be friendly. Now that they are gone, she doesn't need to pretend to be warm to herself all the time.

"These are all prepared by the emperor's orders." Chang Xinyue paused for a moment, then continued, "It's for you."

Seeing that Lu Xizhi was still calm, with lowered eyebrows, Chang Xinyue walked over, raised her chin, and stared at the beautiful and sweet face: "Neither you nor he is liked by me." His noble face looked a little frightening because of the coldness at the moment.

Lu Xizhi was shocked, and didn't understand what she meant by "he", but she could clearly see the resentment in her beautiful eyes, although it was shallow, it could not be ignored.

"Although I don't like you, after all, you can be regarded as a rare and wonderful woman in my family. As long as you keep yourself safe, I will naturally not make things difficult for you." Let go of the hand holding her chin, Chang Xinyue accepts it. The look of displeasure on his face.

"What should be said and what should not be said, I shouldn't need to teach you, right?"

"My wife understands." Her chin was aching, but she didn't reach out to rub it, just because she was afraid that it would leave bruises. The other party's hand strength just now was not weak.

Chang Xinyue narrowed her eyes, sat high in the hall, and said with some contempt: "A mere Lu family, do you really think you can turn Chao Zhongtian upside down?"

Hearing this, Lu Xi was startled, bit her lip and remained silent.

"Although it looks like you dealt with those idiots on the surface, do you think those officials are really afraid of you?"

Chang Xinyue raised her pointed nails, and shot down at the woman with sharp eyes: "You are just the emperor's dog, and you actually complacently pulled the prince off the horse, but..."

"I really want to thank you...hehe"

Chang Xinyue's weird chuckle came from above, and Lu Xizhi's words seemed to be a compliment and a derogation, like a huge thorn piercing his heart fiercely. His lips moved, but it was difficult to form a sentence.

If Chang Xinyue killed her now, no one would dare to testify.

Fortunately, after this, Chang Xinyue said that she was tired and asked Lu Xizhi to step down.

She stepped out of the palace step by step.

Outside the hall, the sky was clear and the sun was shining brightly, but in his heart, he had to admit that he was burned by Chang Xinyue's acupuncture-like words.

"If it weren't for the fact that you have cleared many obstacles for me, otherwise, I would never have agreed to the emperor's marriage. The Yuan family is not an ordinary minister, and Yuan Yanxi is not an ordinary person. If you make me unhappy, I can also make me unhappy." What a pain to experience!"

Before going out, Chang Xinyue's last words kept ringing in her ears, making Lu Xizhi feel restless.

This damn feudal slavery!Before doing it differently, she would have killed the old aunt long ago.

Behind him, the little eunuch followed behind with a gift in his hand. Seeing that the master in front of him had a different expression, but he didn't dare to go forward to ask. While hesitating, a familiar figure came not far away, and the little eunuch secretly heaved a sigh of relief.

After coming out of the Imperial Study Room, Yuan Yanxi hurried over, seeing Lu Xizhi's figure, her worries were calmed down, but when she got closer, she noticed that her expression was different.

"What's the matter, your complexion is so bad, did the queen make things difficult for you?" Yuan Yanxi hurried forward to support him, but didn't want her to be surprised, and pushed herself violently, but how could her small body shake him? I lost my footing and fell backwards.Yuan Yanxi quickly hugged his wife, looked at her pale face, and expressed worry: "What happened? What did the queen say?"

"No." Lu Xizhi yelled loudly to stop his speculation. She knew it was wrong for her to get angry at him, but Chang Xinyue's overbearing attitude just now left her nowhere to vent.Pushing him away, he stood up by himself, but his face was still very ugly.

No one knew what kind of person Chang Xinyue was like than him, the head of the East Factory. It must have been something Chang Xinyue said when he was gone that made him regret his current appearance.

Sighing slightly, he turned to the little eunuch at the side and said, "Go and wait at the palace gate."

"Your servant will leave." The little eunuch had great foresight, holding the gift, and quickly retreated.

Regardless of her struggle, Yuan Yanxi grabbed her away from the gate of the palace where people were coming and going, and walked towards the garden. Lu Xizhi followed passively, no longer resisting, looking a little dull.

Pulling him to the edge of a rockery, there was no one around, and Yuan Yanxi had no scruples. He raised his wife's drooping head, wanting her to look at him, but he didn't want to hurt her.

"Your chin?" Looking at the redness and swelling of the other party's chin, Yuan Yanxi narrowed his eyes, looking a little sullen.

"Did she hurt you?" Not a question, but an affirmation.

Before he left with the emperor, Lu Xizhi was fine, but after a while, he hurt his jaw, and in this palace, who dares to do something to his wife, except the queen.

Lu Xizhi denied it, "I accidentally bruised myself."

Yuan Yanxi frowned, "What did she say?"

"No."

"Watch me answer." The voice became cold, obviously Yuan Yanxi was very dissatisfied.

Lu Xizhi calmed down, and then slowly raised her head, "I'm fine, you don't need to ask any more."

The frowning eyebrows were still unfurled, Yuan Yanxi didn't know that she was just pretending, but also knew that she couldn't ask now, so she had to go home first.

Kunning Palace

"Master, if this matter is left to the emperor, I'm afraid..."

After returning to her palace, Lian'er asked aloud, but the expression on her face was as calm as water.

"Hmph, forgive her for not daring." With a cold snort, of course Chang Xinyue didn't take Lu Xizhi seriously. What she said today, she had already expected that from the perspective of a woman loving her husband, Lu Xizhi would not be right. Yuan Yanxi explained the truth.

Even if she said it, she was not afraid.As a queen, there is something wrong with instructing the emperor's favorite minister and daughter-in-law to follow some rules?

"Crack..." The tea cup that Chang Xinyue held in her hand ended up being smashed to pieces. The debris from the broken cup scattered all over the floor, and the tea was soaked.

"From today onwards, anyone who dares to block my son's path will die a terrible death."

Lian Er glanced at the ground, did not tidy up, but walked slowly to Chang Xinyue's side, and said in a low voice: "Master, don't ruin your body because of his anger." Poured another cup of tea and handed it to Chang Xinyue. Xinyue, I want her to calm down.

Chang Xinyue looked angry and didn't take it.

Lian'er was still holding the tea, waiting silently.

Having been by Chang Xinyue's side for so many years, she knows that persuasion is useless, but it will easily arouse her resentment, and she knows that all she can do at this moment is to wait quietly until Chang Xinyue's anger subsides , everything will be fine.

After a long time, Chang Xinyue seemed to suppress her anger and returned to normal.

"Lian'er, how long have you been by my side?" She slowly closed her eyes, took a deep breath, and immediately swallowed the resentment into her stomach with a complete expression.He took the teacup, no matter how cold the tea was, he drank it himself.

When the cold water entered the stomach, it instantly cooled the body and mind.

After taking the empty teacup and putting it on the table, the court lady waited respectfully aside, lowering her eyebrows and said: "Return to master, this servant has been serving the master since entering the palace, and it has been more than ten years." , a woman, how many decades can be wasted, especially such precious years.

"Ten years." Another ten years have passed, and the resentment in my heart is indeed increasing with time, which cannot be extinguished. Since the anger cannot be eliminated, let it burn even more.

The corner of Chang Xinyue's mouth curled into a sneer, and the chill in her eyes really penetrated.
