Chapter 1 Her territory

With the passing of autumn and winter, the battlefield that the former competition was defeated. It was desolate for a season. In the end, the world was covered by a white light... The quiet capital was like its outer decoration wrapped in silver at this time, washing away the lead, waiting for the change of the next reincarnation, and rejuvenated.

It calmed down, and the white snow fell on the world, moistening things silently. It seemed that in such a soothing, the once devastated heart was also slowly recovering, slowly adapting to the great change not long ago...

The new emperor ascended the throne, and all the relevant party members were uprooted. There was a huge change in almost the whole court. The new emperor boldly reformed and used new people. Although the old ministers who followed the new emperor in the past were promoted and rewarded, in fact, everyone knew that they were already strong outsiders, and their forces were evenly divided and controlled by each other.

In the end, they were still ranked outside by the new emperor, because, compared with the late emperor who had just ascended the throne, he was unquestionable in all aspects. However, the heart of this emperor is even more elusive, and the king's heart is unpredictable. His suspicion is more than that of Emperor Ming Xuan. No one--he doesn't believe it.

Jinluan Hall.

Qi Che was finally sitting in this highest position in a bright yellow hall, looking down at the snowy world under the city, with a golden crown on his head and a huge night pearl and fluorescent dots, declaring his supreme identity for the king.

The exquisite and enchanting face is a proud and arrogant face that belongs to the emperor. It is stable and majestic, which makes people dare not look directly at it.

There was also a palace lady kneeling under him. She was very young and dressed in extraordinary clothes. The fox's clothes were swaddling, shaking the golden silk around the green silk, but she knelt on the cold ground tremblingly.

"Your Majesty, my father is old and not suitable for long journeys. Can you implore the emperor to have mercy on my father and take back my life for the emperor's loyalty? My concubine promised that I will never ask about the government again after my father is old. Please be gracious."

With that, she cried so much to the emperor on the dragon chair, her husband. The words are sincere and anxious. Isn't it Cheng Shishi, the most noble woman in the State of Qi today, the favorite concubine of Emperor Chongming?

It's not that Cheng Shishi is the highest-ranking person in the empire except for the empress dowager. However, looking at Qi Che's reward for her, it is not too much to say that she is a favorite harem. She, the imperial concubine, is like the same as the queen. Now her grievances really make people guess the relationship between the two.

The people in the high position did not seem to be moved at all. Qi Che, who was looking at the white scenery outside the hall, seemed to hear Cheng Shishi's bitter request. He leisurely withdrew his sight and stared on her, and his eyes were deep:

"Concubine Cheng's words are not good," Qi Che's voice was full of empty force. "Since ancient times, there has been no joke, and the university scholar has done his best for the State of Qi. Now that he has proposed to return to his hometown, I also feel that he will agree. Now it is useless for Concubine Cheng to say more. I promise you that I will send more people to escort the university scholar safely. Township, I want to be alone for a while. You can kneel down."

wave your hand and don't want to continue this topic.

Cheng Shishi wanted to make a sound, but he encountered Qi Che's slightly impatient expression. His heart suffocated and swallowed the words that had reached his throat. His tone was slightly dark. He bowed his head and bent over, "I'm leaving."

He didn't know when she quit. He just stared at the scenery outside the hall for a long time, thinking about another figure.

He didn't forget his promise to her, and he kept in mind the agreement that night. Although Xi Aotian was put under house arrest that day, he also embarrassed him. Until he succeeded in taking the throne and ascended the throne, he still did not embarrass him. He didn't want to stay in the court anymore, so he did what he wanted and appointed him as Yongle. Many people told him that Xi Aotian could not stay, but he didn't listen, just because he was her father. On Qingjun's side, he cleared everyone but only left a Xi Aotian, just because of her, it could only be her.

Now, the whole state of Qi is his. There is nothing he can't get, but he seems to see a woman's horse in the gray air. What about her? In this life, does he still have a chance to get it?

The snow is still falling in the air, floating into the only family that has not been destroyed by the storm a few months ago.

Xi Aotian handed over the military power and retired and lived in this general's mansion after being named Yonglehou. Here, he once contained his ideals and the place where he had his former glory and sprouted, he could not give up. However, he will stay here until the end of his life in such a big general's mansion.

There are many courtyards in the house, but he chose the small courtyard where Xi Xinmiao's mother Shu'er lived to settle down, planting flowers and weeding, and not asking about the world.

However, before the retreat, he accidentally accepted a righteous daughter. She came from afar and had been in another courtyard recently.

Hanqing Pavilion.

This is the residence of General Xi's righteous daughter, not far from the Sunset Garden. However, the owner of the Hanqing Pavilion has never been to the courtyard of Xixin Miao since there was a conflict between Anranju and the main owner of the Sunset Garden that day. The two were unhappy, and she didn't want to go out to be suspicious. .

Therefore, although the two courtyards are extremely separated from each other, they have never looked at each other. In the heart of the table, they can't wait to be seen.

"Miss, this is the bird's nest you said you wanted to eat in the morning. Would you like some?" A maid in green took the porcelain cup in the hand of the girl in red who had just entered the door and said to the woman in front of the dressing mirror.

"Why is it only delivered now?" It was no one else who spoke. It was the adopted daughter that Xi Aotian received not long ago. She turned around and frowned and said unhappily.

Hearing the words, the woman in red lowered her head lower. "The housekeeper said that any expenses in the accounting room should be recorded and reported to the lady, so it was too late." After saying that, his body trembled a little, and I didn't know whether it was cold or afraid.

The young lady in the mouth of the girl in red is none other than someone else. It is the head of the Xi Mansion. Since she took over the Mansion, everything has to be approved by her mouth. In the end, she is the master.

"Humph, does this Xi Xinmiao have the intention to oppose me? Even a bird's nest needs her consent. This breath is really cowardly!"

With a fierce slap on the table, his face was extremely ugly. It was not like an ordinary woman with curved eyebrows, but she was as heroic as a man. At this time, her eyebrows were horizontal and vertical, and her apricot eyes were round, as if she could spewed fire.

"No, I'm going to argue with her!" As soon as he grabbed the long red whip in his hand, he was about to rush out of the door.

"Miss (Miss Lei)!" At a glance, the two girls pulled their hands and hugged their legs to stop the woman who was about to grab the door.

"You get out of the way! I'd like to ask Xi Xinmiao to see if Lei Qingqing is easy to bully!" Lei Qingqing, who was very angry, was dragged to and could not retreat. She was even more angry and kicked away a girl under her feet.

The poor maid, who had been kicked away and rolled away, choked and choked in pain in her throat. Her face was twisted, and her eyes were even more anxious with tears. She rolled and crawled to Lei Qingqing's feet, grabbed her desperately and begged bitterly.

"Miss Lei, please calm your anger. Please, please don't go to the young lady, okay? I will definitely be expelled from the house if you disturb the young lady. Please don't go..."

"Good son of a bitch. Are you afraid that your young lady will drive you out of the house? Aren't you afraid that I will take your dog's life now? If you don't want to die, let it go!"

Lei Qingqing was furious and thought that a subordinate did not pay attention to himself, but he was respectful to the fox. His eyes were already red, and the long whip in his hand was about to fall.

"Miss, calm your anger!" Yun'er, who was beside her, quickly grabbed the falling whip in her hand. Suddenly, a hot and sticky feeling permeated the whole palm of her hand, but she couldn't care much.

"Yun'er, even you want to stop me?"

"Miss, listen to Yun'er's words. Now we have to bow our heads under the eaves. Although the general recognizes you as a righteous daughter, you are indeed an outsider compared with his own daughter and the current head of Xifu. You think that all the people in Xi's house are at her. This is her territory. We are soft and rely on the protection of the general. It's not a long-term strategy. Have you forgotten what happened that day? She is really not a provoking role!"

The last few words were full of warnings. Lei Qingqing listened in, and the hand holding the whip seemed to fall slowly after a struggle. There was a trance in his eyes and he fell into memories:

A month ago, she and Yun'er rushed to the capital. Unexpectedly, they were plotted by a traitor on the way and were rescued by General Xi. Out of gratitude, she told her name. Unexpectedly, General Xi accurately reported her father's name after hearing this.

It turned out that General Xi had been helped by her father when she was fighting in her early years, and now she is met by him, and she has no place to stay for the time being, so General Xi thinks that the righteous daughter is left in his mansion.

General Xi expressed his gratitude for her father's help in his early years, so he let her choose a room to live in the vacant courtyard. She did not shirk and took Yun'er to look around under the leadership of the girl.

Later, she fell in love with a place called Anranju, which she found by herself. She liked it at a glance, but the girl asked her to change another one with a pale face.

How could she easily give up what Lei Qingqing saw? Despite the girl's obstruction, she forcibly entered, but it was a dead room with a sign in it.

"Miss Lei, it doesn't work here. Please change to another place. This is Miss's forbidden place. Outsiders are not allowed to enter. Let's go out quickly." The girl who led it almost burst into tears, and her face was even more colorless.

"Who said it would be changed? I want this one. Come on, move out all these messy dead people. I'm going to sleep in this room tonight!"

After several times of advice, the girl almost cried and fainted, but was interrupted by a couple who rushed in at the door.

"What are you? You actually want to live in your mother-in-law's former residence. Get out quickly. If our young lady knows it, you can't eat it!"
