The sunshine at noon at the end of the month is still full of unbearable heat. It shines through the hollow carved wooden windows on the hanging golden bed curtains, reflecting a faint yellowish halo. The light halo is reflected in the light bed curtains.

, the colorful embroidery threads on the purple mandarin duck brocade quilt are printed with a halo of light, showing the embroidered picture of mandarin ducks playing in the water, just like the violets blooming in the early morning, with a little coquettish light.

Shangguan Qi, who woke up from his sleep, opened his eyes and looked quietly at the rock-climbing dragon carved on the top of the bed. Ripples of confusion slowly appeared in his still misty eyes.

"Are you awake?"

Unprepared, an enlarged handsome face with a hint of dragon sandalwood appeared in front of him as if out of thin air. His purple eyes trembled, and then quickly enlarged. He stretched out his arms to push away the smiling face, and then became a little frightened.

sat up.

"I...where am I?" She only remembered that she was in a daze last night and fell asleep on the table. How could she appear in this strange place? "Rub"

Rubbing her aching forehead, the sudden feeling of hunger in her lower abdomen made her eyes blur, and her body couldn't help but fall backwards.[

"This is my bedroom. You fell asleep in the imperial study last night, so I carried you here." He stretched out his arms to hug her thin body, and then pulled the quilt to cover her.

Seeing her frowning slightly, he stretched out his hand to rub her temples. Looking at her earlobes that were red due to shyness, Xuanyuan Yeya made an imperceptible arc.

"Are you hungry?" He opened a crack in the bed curtain and looked at the sky outside, then lowered his head and asked the person in his arms. "It's already noon, let's get up and have something to eat."

"It's noon, have I slept for so long?" The moderate force made the pain in her brain fade away little by little, and the mist in her eyes gradually subsided. She reached out to help his big hand and sat up again. "The matter is taken care of.

How's it going? How long have you been busy since I fell asleep?" Thinking of the scene where the two of them worked hard with lights on when the moon was high last night, she felt like she was in a dream, but the fatigue in her body was so real that she felt

I have to believe that what happened last night when I worked until three o'clock in the middle of the night really happened.

"I haven't been busy for long, it's just time for a cup of tea. The rest of the things have been taken care of just now, so you can eat in peace." He hugged her from behind, placed his chin lightly on her shoulder, and felt the silk pajamas.

Feeling the gentle warmth radiating from that soft and delicate body, Xuanyuan Yeya lowered her eyes slightly and looked at the catkins wrapped in his hands. Her heart suddenly became extremely calm at this moment.

"Have you finished everything?" She turned her head slightly and looked at him in disbelief.

"The ones dealing with Ao Cang have been dealt with. As for finding out the people behind it, it depends on Yinyue and Yehan. Okay, let's not talk about this anymore. You must be starving. Get up and eat something."

Looking at her sharp chin, I suddenly felt that she seemed to have lost a bit of weight, and felt a slight pain in my heart. I unknowingly stretched out my hand to touch it.

"You've lost weight. What have you been busy with lately?"

"Uh..." Shangguan Qi glanced at him, then quickly moved her eyes to one side. She was held in his arms and held her chin. When had she ever experienced such an ambiguous scene in her entire life?

So for a moment she didn't know what to answer. She only felt that her cheeks seemed to be red and hot, which made her extremely embarrassed. She glanced at him secretly, but accidentally met his tender eyes mixed with a trace of amusement.

"Are you kidding me..." Her pupils dilated rapidly, and she couldn't believe that he would actually lower his head like this. The soft and cold feeling on his lips was like cool spring water pouring down from her heart, making her tremble all over.

, even though it was just a flicker of water, it made her freeze there like a puppet.

"Okay, get up." After pinching her nose, Xuanyuan Yeya stood up and left with satisfaction. As soon as the bed curtain behind him fell down, a mandarin duck pillow flew out from inside and hit his heel. The corner of his mouth curled up.

After succeeding, he walked out of the inner room in a good mood and waited for Shangguan Qi to come out for dinner. He lay alone on the mandarin duck pillow under the light and shadow, enjoying the warm afternoon sunshine...

In this harem that originally lacked new things, the Queen's night stay at the Junlin Hall was like a newly blooming begonia flower that quickly dyed the eyes of everyone in the harem red with her enchanting color. Before everyone lamented that the world is impermanent.

When the abandoned queen was now the queen, Shangguan Qi was lying on the couch in the palace where the Nanyin envoy was staying like a stranger, avoiding the concubines and concubines who came to trouble her.

"Xiaoqi?"

"Huh?" He opened his eyes lightly, and his jewel-like purple eyes reflected the burning peach blossoms above his head. I really don't know what means they used to make the burning peach blossoms bloom in this late summer scene.

.

"Are you going to live in this palace with peace of mind?" He leaned on the peach blossom tree and looked at her with half-raised eyes. Pink petals fell on his shoulders, and the delicate

The color is not as good as the frivolous enchantment at the corner of his mouth.

"Why do you say that?" He tilted his head and looked at Nanyin Yuluo, who was dressed elegantly in white. His cold temperament and cold eyes were not like the evil charm in red. He in white looked more like a

The killer is an immortal who lives on the top of the ice peak. The snow lotus is his symbol, and the flowing cold spring is the blood flowing in his body. Naturally, a cold and proud aura emanates from his whole body, making his snow-like white clothes look even more...

Ice cold.

This is the real charm. He has a cold attitude towards everyone. That evil expression is just a piece of his gauze. Under the enchanting red is the pure white that can chill everything. From the age of five to now

, Shangguan Qi has only seen such a charm three times. The first time was when he got separated due to playfulness when he was a child and he searched for it in the snow for a whole day. The other time was when she pushed a girl into his arms and joked with her.

He, and the last time was when she went on an extremely dangerous mission alone. That time she almost lost her life. When she staggered back to her residence, she saw at the door the man who had been waiting for her for three days.

At that time, when he stared at his injured arm, he had the same look.

Her eyes were as cold as snow without a trace of warmth, as if anything could freeze into ice. It made her feel fear from the bottom of her heart, and the coldness wrapped around her feet like a vine to her heart.

The warmth disappears in an instant.

After that time, Mei ignored her for a whole week. Later, she stalked her and acted coquettishly and pretended to cry, which finally earned his forgiveness. But after that, she never dared to be alone again without notifying Mei.

She sneaked out to perform tasks. Later, she almost developed the habit of reporting to him about everything. This made her, the real boss, feel extremely depressed. But now, the cold eyes that had been away for many years have gathered again.

On her body, Shangguan Qi had a confused look on her face.

Did she do anything wrong?[

"No reason, just a feeling." He calmed down slightly, but the news he heard yesterday swept through his brain like the wind. The storm in his eyes swept across again, but when he met her confused eyes

, suppressed it again, turning into the undercurrent of waves in the eyes. "Then you felt wrong this time. This palace is a prison, and I have no freedom at all here. From the moment I woke up,

I've been thinking about escaping." Seeing his forbearance, her eyebrows furrowed slightly, and then turned into smoke and dust. Sometimes she couldn't understand Mei, for example, what on earth was he angry about at this moment?

?

"Then why don't you escape? With your ability, escaping from here is completely easy." But you didn't. Why on earth is this? Is there something or someone here that makes you nostalgic?

What?

"I know, but now I am no longer alone." Seeing the confusion in his eyes, Shangguan Qi turned his head and looked at the peach blossoms above his head. The peach blossoms are shining brightly. The delicate red color,

She flashed her eyes. "Charming, this is no longer my world. I can't just think about myself and then throw harm to the people in this palace who care and love me."

"Who?" His voice was trembling, and he couldn't help but think of that man in his mind.

"Many, my girls, and the Prime Minister's family outside the palace. Although Shangguan Hong is not a good father, since I have taken over Shangguan Qi's body, I have an obligation to protect her family from being harmed because of me.

.If I leave the palace willfully, it may bring disaster to them. Mei, you should know that I am a person who doesn’t like to owe others." From the moment she woke up in this body, she

I already owe a debt to the Shangguan family.

Her eyes softened, and the cold air on her body instantly turned into mist. A trace of self-blame flashed through her charming eyes, and she looked at the slender pink figure on the recliner, her eyes showing confusion and trance.

Suddenly she seemed to be turning into one of the thousands of peach blossoms and escaping from this troubled world.

Xiaoqi, she is the happiest one.

"Then what should we do? Use your life's happiness to pay off the debt?" He crossed his arms across his chest and sighed softly.

"Am I such a fearless person?" He smiled with hooked lips. "Why do you think I, who have always been low-key in dealing with things, have to show my talents to them? Why do I jump into things again and again even though I obviously hate dealing with things I don't want to do?

This political quagmire? Because apart from this, I don’t know what else can be used to repay the debt and exchange for my freedom.”

"Xiaoqi, I can help you." He looked at her with tender eyes and whispered softly.

"Mei, I want to rely on my own strength." Her self-improvement since childhood prevented her from relying on other people's strength. Besides, it was she who owed them, not Mei. Mei looked down and lowered her head, leaning on Peach Blossom like an abandoned child.

Under the tree, it looked like the decadent Tang Yan, who silently wrote the poem of Taohuawu under the peach blossom tree. There was a pain in my heart, and then I couldn't help but say, "If I get tired one day, please help me."

Surprise flashed through her eyes. Mei looked up in disbelief and looked at Shangguan Qi who tilted her head and smiled at him on the recliner. She clenched her hands into fists excitedly and her lips trembled for a long time before she uttered the word "Okay."

This was the first time that Xiaoqi came to him for help with her own matters. He thought that this time it would be like before, it would be impossible.

The sky is a clear blue. In Taoyuan, the sky is filled with pink.

The wind blows, and the peach blossoms fall, like white butterflies emerging from their cocoons, dancing in the air. They fall to the ground, mixed with the yellow soil, exuding the fragrance of the garden...

Looking at Shangguan Qi who was looking up at the sky, with the clear sky reflected in his pupils, Nanyin Yuluo caught a flying petal in the air, put it to his lips and whispered, Xiao Qi, I will stay with you forever, forever and ever...
