Cong Lv noticed the strangeness of Xue Pianran's maid.
"Stop, who is she?"
Xue Pianran raised her eyebrows and said calmly.
"Brother Cong, she is my new maid, and it's the first time I've come to the palace with me, so she's a little timid."
When mentioning the maid, Xue Pianran was still angry, and then Cong Lv remembered that her original maid died in Daxia because of Ye Lingyue.
"What are you carrying on your body, go to the side and search."
People like Feng Xin and Xue Pianran are distinguished and can be exempted from body searches, but officials below the third rank and envoys of general countries are required to be searched.
Hearing that Cong Lv wanted to order someone to search her body, Lian Yu was so frightened that she stared at Xue Pianran, not daring to make a sound.
"Brother, even you are trying to make things difficult for me. You didn't search for that woman with a spiritual pet just now, but it was my maid. You want to search. Could it be that my people are not as good as that woman's? Animal. Forget it, all of you make things difficult for me, I don't care if I don't participate in this palace banquet." Xue Pianran's cheeks were flushed because of excitement, and she was about to throw her sleeves and leave.
"Pianran, what nonsense are you talking about? How could I make things difficult for you. It's not like you don't know that you have to be searched when you enter the palace, that's the rule." Cong Lv hurriedly explained.
The reason why he didn't search for Xiaozhi was because Fengxin was holding her. Moreover, after the spirit pet entered the palace, it would be arranged in the outer palace and would not be brought into the palace.
A few days ago, because of the Daxia embassy, Conglu and Fengxin had a confrontation, and Conglu felt a little uncomfortable when he saw Fengxin.
Although he has been on good terms with Feng Xin since he was a child, but these days, he feels that he and Feng Xin are drifting away.
Sometimes, he even felt that Feng Xin was indifferent, like a stranger.
And the reason why the two fell to where they are today is precisely because of Xue Pianran.
When he was very young, Cong Lv knew that Xue Pianran liked Feng Xin, at that time, Cong Lv thought that Feng Xin also liked Xue Pianran.
But it wasn't until Ye Lingyue appeared that Cong Lv knew that it was just his and Xue Pianran's wishful thinking.
Cong Lv was also secretly happy that Feng Xin could find the love of her life and give up Xue Pianran.
But when he thought about what Emperor Beiqing said that night, that Ye Lingyue and Fengxin were incompatible, and Xue Pianran was Fengxin's good match, the lawyer's heart became entangled again.
"Forget it, you go in." Cong Lv sighed, and let Xue Pianran and Lian Yu enter the palace.
Xue Pianran breathed a sigh of relief, and brought Lianyu into the palace together.
In the palace, Ye Lingyue looked around.
Although Ye Lingyue has been to Beiqing before, because she was excluded from the Daxia delegation last time, this is the first time she has come to Beiqing Palace.
Unlike the Daxia Palace where exotic flowers and plants can be seen everywhere, and small bridges and flowing water, Beiqing's palace is empty and ancient, and its area is at least ten times the size of the Daxia Palace.
On the long palace road, pines and ancient cypresses are planted on the north and south sides. At the end of the year and the beginning of the year, the temperature in Beiqing reached the lowest point of the year.
Walking through the palace road extending in all directions, although the snow on the road has been swept away, the snow accumulated on the branches and eaves has already formed ice hangs, and the long ice edges are folded into colorful rays of light under the palace lanterns.
The night was cold, and the road was very slippery. The side road was long and there were no chariots. Ye Lingyue regretted it after walking all the way.
She was wearing a long dress that looked good, but she stumbled a few times as she walked down the road, and Feng Xin followed her as she got tired.
After Ye Lingyue skated for the third time, Feng Xin wanted to ask someone to prepare a carriage.
"No, everyone walks, I'm the only one who uses a chariot, I'm afraid it will attract gossip." Ye Lingyue shook her head, she thought for a while, and then simply pulled up the corner of her skirt.
Feng Xin frowned, didn't say much, stepped forward and hugged Ye Lingyue by the waist.
Ye Lingyue exclaimed, and subconsciously put her arms around Feng Xin's neck.
Behind him, countless eyes looked over.
Ye Lingyue blushed with embarrassment, and whispered to Feng Xin to put her down.
"Although I am weak, I still have the strength to hold my wife." Feng Xin laughed softly, the magnetic laughter was as sweet as fine wine.
After finishing speaking, he strode towards the dimly lit Izumo Hall in front of him.
The Izumo Hall is located at the highest point of the Beiqing Imperial Palace. It is shaped like an eagle. Standing on the viewing platform in the hall, you can clearly overlook the entire imperial palace.
On the viewing platform of the Izumo Hall, there stood a man with a slender figure, a five-clawed golden dragon embroidered on a gorgeous dragon robe, black temples like clouds, and a pair of enchanting eyes under black eyebrows.
Her eyes stared at the crowd of people walking like ants outside the Izumo Temple.
In the crowd, there is a figure, gradually approaching.
Some people are born with brilliance, even in the dark night, or among thousands of troops, they can always be spotted at a glance.
Feng Xin is such a person.
When they saw Feng Xin, the pupils of the people on the viewing platform shrank violently.
Feng Xin actually wore that suit, with cloud patterns on a white background, he looked so similar to his father Feng Lan.
She couldn't help taking a step forward.
It was this step that made her see clearly that Feng Xin was not alone.
He held a woman in his arms.
The woman was also wearing a palace uniform with cloud patterns on a white background.
Feng Xin hugged the woman tightly in his arms, his arms covered the woman's face, but the tenderness in his eyes couldn't be blocked.
The man on the viewing platform shook his body and took a step back.
For the first time, there was a look of panic in those eyes that had been soaked in power and struggle for decades.
The cold wind was bitter, and the icy wind, like a knife and awl, pierced Empress Beiqing's face, so painful that even her heart, which had been hard for many years, ached.
The cold wind ruffled Empress Beiqing's hair and her thoughts.
Time seems to have flowed backwards to more than twenty years ago.
At that time, Emperor Beiqing was not the high and mighty Emperor Beiqing, but she was still Beiqing's eldest princess, the eldest daughter most appreciated by the first emperor.
Yes, it is the most appreciated, but not the most loved.
The first emperor and his wife were deeply affectionate and had only two daughters under their knees. The eldest princess was born in early winter when the first frost and snow fell, so she was named "Shuang" only.
The little princess, the little princess, is one year old and was born in the autumn when the red maple branches are everywhere, so she is named Qingfeng.
Because of the weak blood of the royal heirs, Qingshuang and Qingfeng had a very good relationship since they were young, and they were inseparable.
When Qingshuang was five years old and Qingfeng was four years old, the first emperor brought a seven-year-old boy into the palace, and that person was Beiqing's famous God of War, Feng Lan.
Due to their similar age, the three quickly became friends. They were originally inseparable, but became three people walking together.
Qingshuang is like Empress Qing, beautiful since she was a child, intelligent and calm, but Qingfeng is the opposite, she is like the former emperor, a naughty bastard, playing like a mud monkey every day.
Xiao Fenglan was entrusted by the late emperor to take care of the two princesses, but in fact, she took care of the little princess Qingfeng every day.
