Chitose words

Empress Xiaobai held the fragrant tea brewed by her own hands firmly with both hands and handed it to the emperor respectfully and meekly.

When she saw Emperor Jing taking the cup of fragrant tea with a normal expression, she gently tried to say: "Your Majesty, Jing Lin has made you unhappy today."

The Emperor of the Southern Dynasty put down the tea cup in his hand and looked at her with a half-smile.

"The Queen is very well informed."

The emperor's tone was not serious, but gentle and gentle, but Queen Xiaobai's face turned pale in an instant, and she apologized with fear:

"Your Majesty, you misunderstood. How dare I order people to inquire about His Majesty's Jiuchen Palace? It's just that I always pay attention to Your Majesty's diet.

You have barely touched the supplements that the small kitchen of Fengyi Palace sent to His Majesty today, and the food that the chamberlain brought back, so I guessed whether you were unhappy today. "

The Emperor of the Southern Dynasty raised a pair of cold eyebrows and looked at her. His eyebrows were actually very similar to his sister who was born from the same mother and had twins, a dragon and a phoenix.

——Those are a pair of eyebrows and eye contours inherited from the Xunyang Xie family, both of which are like fox eyes like a god.

But there are differences.

Princess Tianchen Fu Jingci's eyebrows are dazzling and sparkling at first glance, as if they are not easy to touch, but if you look closely, it is not difficult to find that they are like a warm and bright sun.

However, with the growth of age and the increasing power in his hands, the facial features of Fu Jingyan, the Emperor Jing of the Southern Dynasty, have long been different from the gentleness of his childhood, and have gradually gained a coldness that is intimidating.

Especially when he squints his eyes slightly, his eyes look even more narrow and sharp, making people intimidated and afraid to be presumptuous.

When Queen Baixuan was a girl, she loved the young prince's gentle and affectionate brows, but now she is so afraid of his squinted eyes with no warmth.

Why is this so.
Baixuanxuan was stunned and didn't understand.

Obviously before the wedding and during the early days of their marriage, His Majesty was not such a lonely person.

Since then, His Majesty has become more and more inhumane, like a machine that blocks all private emotions, and like a statue of a heartless and desireless god sitting on a high platform.

It seems to be from the beginning of the year shortly after their wedding.
Moreover, in the past two years, His Majesty's Sacred Heart is unpredictable and has become increasingly difficult for people around her to guess. Even she, the person next to her, cannot figure it out.

It seems that His Majesty is still somewhat alive only in front of the concubine Shu who takes refuge in the Penglai Hall of the East Palace, and the eunuch Yuan Ai who is now the chief seal of the palace.

Queen Xiaobai stared blankly at the emperor's eyes as cold as ice, and the next moment she heard him say again:

"Today in Pingyang, I came to Fengyi Palace."

This is not an interrogative sentence, but an affirmative sentence.

Your Majesty is not asking a question, but has already asserted it.

Queen Xiaobai was stunned and said quickly: "Yes, Your Majesty. This is the first time Jing Lin has entered the palace to say hello after her wedding. She came to the concubine's Fengyi Hall and sat for a while, then said she was going to say hello to His Majesty.

My concubine had previously thought that Jing Lin had grown up and knew how to show consideration and respect for her brother. Who would have thought that she would actually make His Majesty so displeased.

Jing Lin has the nature of a child and has never been certain. If her words are inappropriate and offend Tianwei, please forgive her because of the deep brotherhood. "

Emperor Jingdi sneered slightly, a hint of cold sarcasm flashed in his eyes.

"Brotherly love? A child? In our Southern Tianchen, women from aristocratic families can get married at the age of 15. She is already 19 years old. Is she still a child in the eyes of the Queen?"

The queen was immediately afraid to intercede for Princess Pingyang.

After all, she and the eldest princess Pingyang are not really close. Compared to the eldest princess Pingyang Fu Jinglin, she has been close to the eldest princess Taiping Fu Jingyu since she was a child. What's more, the two are now each other's sisters-in-law, and they are even closer. relative.

But after all, the eldest princess Pingyang is also a blood relative of the Bai family of Minghe. They both prospered and suffered losses, so the queen, Xiao Bai, was under pressure and had to help her make things right.She said softly: "It seems that Jing Lin really got into trouble this time. I haven't seen His Majesty show such emotions for a long time."

Emperor Jing smiled lightly and said:
"She is indeed very courageous. She actually dares to drive a wedge between me and Prince Xunyang."

Xiao Bai was stunned.

Fu Jingyan's gaze fell on the queen's face quietly as if it were real.

"I just don't know, is it her own intention or the intention of Governor Bai and the abbot? I don't know either. How much does the Queen know?"

Queen Xiaobai was shocked!
She quickly knelt down and said sternly:

"Your Majesty! I didn't know that Jing Lin actually said such bastard and offensive words. Although I have lived in the palace for a long time and rarely see my grandfather and father, I don't think this matter will be their intention. Please be aware of it!"

Bao Xuanxuan was almost dripping with cold sweat!
If Fu Jinglin were in front of her right now, she would wish she could slap her hard in person!

——This troublemaker!
He knew that she had an restless temper. In order to be able to summon Li Suhe's eldest son Li Suining as his consort, she pretended to behave for a few days, but who would have thought that she would turn around and cause such trouble for them in front of His Majesty? !

The emperor looked at her quietly for a moment, then suddenly smiled.

"Queen, please rise. You and I are husband and wife, and I actually believe in you in my heart. It's just that Pingyang is really inappropriate and needs more discipline from you."

Queen Xiaobai bowed her head and said respectfully and warmly:
"Yes, I will obey your Majesty's will. It is my duty to teach the royal family members. It is my dereliction of duty to let Your Majesty worry about it."

Fu Jingyan waved his hand gently, signaling the queen to stand up.

After seeing her getting up, he seemed to suddenly remember something. He paused slightly, then said with a soft "um":
"By the way, Princess An Ning's wedding is set for three months. The time is a little rushed. She may not be able to do many things. The queen should take more care of it and try to do it as decently and thoughtfully as possible."

Queen Xiao Bai quickly said: "Your Majesty, don't worry. I know that your Majesty is very fond of Princess An Ning and has been making preparations with all her heart. She will marry the princess in a glorious way."

She thought for a moment and then asked: "By the way, General Peng is still at Langya Pass. Should we summon the general in advance to return to Zhaoge?"

Emperor Fu Jingyan shook his head.

"No need. Peng Xiao is the deputy general guarding Langya Pass. He has a heavy burden and responsibility. All he needs to do is rush to Zhaoge and An Ning to marry him as scheduled before the wedding."

The queen smiled and said: "Your Majesty loves talents and is very kind to General Peng. I believe that my sister-in-law will definitely live up to your Majesty's high expectations in the future."

Fu Jingyan raised the corners of his lips lightly, revealing a faint smile.

"Even if he is not my sister-in-law, even if he does not have my high hopes, Peng Xiao will not betray the divine grace and neglect official border defense."

Xiao Bai was startled for a moment, then smiled gently.

"Yes, I heard that the future Princess An Ning's consort is the beloved son of Peng Tingyi, the governor of Chongzhou. He comes from a wealthy family in Chongzhou, so he naturally knows how to serve the country with loyalty."

Emperor Jing smiled slightly, but said nothing more.

There was a hint of sigh and sadness in his drooping eyes.

The queen didn't understand him, nor did she understand Peng Xiao.

The reason why Peng Xiao has a rock-like heart and is loyal to the emperor and protects the country is not because he is the son of Chongzhou Jiedushi, but because
He is a direct disciple of General Xie Huanchen, one of the "Three Masters of the Xie Family".

The Xie family in Xunyang has been ringing with bells and cooking pots for generations, and has a heart of pure blood and red heart for generations.
