Is the emperor cremated today?

Xiao Qi held Xu Miaoyin's somewhat cold hand, turned around and asked Zhu Weng to bring the hand stove he used and put it in Xu Miaoyin's hand. He sat next to her again and put his arm around her waist. The frequent greetings frequently attracted other people's attention.

How could Xu Miaoyin not know that he did this on purpose? He was angry with her these days, and she hadn't seen anyone else for several days. This sudden high-profile appearance and some deliberately intimate behaviors made her somewhat a little nervous. Not adaptable.

He would never do these intimate things in front of others.

This is too abnormal for him. I don’t know what to do?
Xiao Qi picked up the freshly heated fruit wine on the table and pretended to feed Xu Miaoyin. That was enough. Didn't you see that everyone present was staring at them more or less?
Xu Miaoyin smiled and gently pushed Xiao Qi's hand away, took the wine away from his hand, and drank it in one gulp.

Xiao Qi also understood that enough was enough, so he only smiled fondly at her. Seeing that her face turned rosy due to the fruit wine she drank, she picked up the wine glass and started drinking.

Seeing His Majesty being so intimate with the Imperial Concubine, the people in the audience all stopped thinking about it, but there were some who were unwilling to do so.

How could Xu Miaoyin ignore such a look of real jealousy? She looked over with some feeling, and saw the girl at the end of the table staring at her. She seemed to be aware that Xu Miaoyin was looking at her, but she suddenly smiled. Eyes, Xu Miaoyin was stunned by this rapid change of face.

Xiao Qi saw Xu Miaoyin in a daze, followed her gaze, and his eyes instantly turned cold.

"Your Majesty, do you think that little girl looks like the same person?"

Xu Miaoyin turned around and looked at Xiao Qi with a half-smile.

Xiao Qi snorted coldly, "It doesn't look like that!"

Seeing Xiao Qi retort without even looking at it, Xu Miaoyin looked calm and said, "It seems that Your Majesty has met this girl. Let me guess, she is the person that the Duke wants you to bring into the palace." !”

Xu Miaoyin turned to look at the petite figure who was about to try, and continued: "It is true that he looks like me when I was young. It is difficult for the Duke of the country to go to such trouble to find such a person. I heard that he still recognized him as If you have an adopted daughter, her status is not low. What position does Your Majesty intend to give her? How about Concubine Shu?"

Xu Miaoyin felt a slight pain in her waist, and raised her eyes to look at Xiao Qi. She saw slight anger in his eyes, but she laughed softly.

Her sudden smile made Xiao Qi confused. He saw a smile on her eyes and brows, and because she looked at him with a sideways smile, she looked even more charming, which made him a little obsessed for a moment.

The wives of various families at the banquet saw His Majesty and the noble concubine openly teasing each other. Some were disdainful, and some were not surprised. The aristocratic families in Yujing City had seen the absurdity of the late emperor. In comparison, Xiao Qi was already very restrained. It was just rumors from the outside world. Your Majesty was cold and unfeeling, and gave all his affection to the late Queen. Now that he is so doting on Concubine Xu, it seems that he is not unfeminine or unfeeling.

Fang Zhenzhen, who was at the bottom of the table, looked at the public display of affection between the emperor and the noble concubine, and his beautiful almond eyes twinkled slightly.

She stood up from her seat and took a few steps forward. Only then did everyone notice that she was there. They all looked at her and were surprised that her appearance was very similar to that of the imperial concubine. It was just that It lacks the mature charm of the imperial concubine, but has more graceful and girlish charm than the imperial concubine.

She bowed before her, and said in the girl's unique gentle tone: "It's rare to see such beautiful scenery today, and your majesty is so busy that you can come and enjoy it with everyone. My little girl is not talented, so I am willing to give you a dance."

After Fang Zhenzhen said that, he pretended to glance at Xiao Qi casually, but he happened to catch Xiao Qi's gaze and avoided it just right. His slightly drooped eyelashes trembled slightly and his cheeks turned red, which made people look at him. Ashamed.

Her purpose is clearly revealed!

Such coquettishness made everyone present couldn't help but sigh that the Duke's taste was really poor, and he could actually accept such a petty and ignorant person as his adopted daughter.Just when everyone thought Xiao Qi didn't like Fang Zhenzhen, they heard Xiao Qi's interesting voice, "Oh? If you want to perform a dance, then do it!"

After saying that, he let go of Xu Miaoyin, leaned forward slightly and stared at the woman in the field, and raised his hand to indicate that Fang Zhenzhen could start.

Fang Zhenzhen stood up and began to dance gracefully to the music of the musician, with a graceful and graceful attitude.

Chen Fengling, who was watching the excitement on the side, smiled and approached Mr. Zhuang, as if he was watching a good show, and just put a plate of melon seeds in front of him.

"Look, I said there's a good show to watch!"

Mrs. Zhuang glared at her unruly husband and looked at Xu Miaoyin with some worry, but saw that although her expression was cold, she did not look like she would be jealous or angry. She was just watching other people's dances with ulterior motives like everyone else.

Xu Miaoyin was indeed enjoying the dance, but not long after, Yu Qiao, who had never appeared, came to Xu Miaoyin's side, and Xu Miaoyin whispered to Xiao Qi: "Your Majesty, I'm going to change clothes."

Xiao Qiruo hummed softly, but still looked at Fang Zhenzhen in the audience with all his attention. It seemed that her dancing had completely attracted his attention, and he could no longer notice the people around him.

Xu Miaoyin then supported Yu Qiao and left Xiyuan. She avoided the palace people and took a secluded road to the northwest corner of the palace.

Because Xiao Qi did not accept a large number of harems, many palaces were deserted. Only palace servants came to clean them regularly, and few people came there at ordinary times, not to mention the more remote northwest palace. It is said that a concubine who made mistakes once lived here. , it has been abandoned since he died of illness. Some people even saw ghosts in the middle of the night, and no one came here anymore.

Yu Qiao pushed open the palace door and carefully observed her surroundings before turning to Xu Miaoyin and said, "My Lady, this place has been abandoned for a long time. Please watch your steps."

After saying that, he walked in first and walked to the innermost side hall. Then he stopped and said to Xu Miaoyin who was following behind: "Your Majesty, the people are inside, and the maid is guarding outside."

Xu Miaoyin opened the door, and the old wooden door creaked dullly. She stepped in and saw a person standing by the half-boxed window.

Guo Xiang heard the footsteps and turned around and knelt on the ground, "Wei Chen has seen the imperial concubine."

"Get up! I don't have much time. Have you already gone to see Duke Rong Guo?" Xu Miaoyin stood in front of Guo Xiang and asked.

Guo Xiang stood up and replied: "I surrendered to Duke Rong Guo according to the wishes of the queen. Duke Rong also believed that I killed Meng. But I don't understand why the queen didn't just use the method we discussed last time and use my hands. Use the evidence to convict Duke Rong Guo?"

Xu Miaoyin said calmly: "Although we have evidence to prove that he is related to the examination fraud case, we cannot prove his crime. I ask you to surrender to him. Firstly, you must find more evidence. Secondly, you must find a way to sit on it." As the commander of the Five Cities Army and Horses Division, I not only want to prove his guilt, but I also want the military power in his hands."

Guo Xiang raised his eyes and looked at Xu Miaoyin. With just one glance, he felt that this woman was indeed not simple, but he didn't know whether her desire for military power was His Majesty's instruction?
Xu Miaoyin glanced at the silent Guo Xiang and said calmly: "If you have any difficulties, please send me a message. I will help you and take good care of your mother."

Guo Xiang looked stern, cupped her hands and said, "Wei Chen knows."

Xu Miaoyin turned around and walked out, but suddenly stopped. Guo Xiang thought she had other instructions, so she still stood respectfully, but saw that she did not look back, but just said: "Now that you are here, let's meet Aunt Liang." Mom!"
