The fact that the Queen was punished by the Emperor was like a firecracker that was lit and exploded in the harem. Although it could not be called a palace celebration with singing and dancing, the concubines who had been punished by Shangguan Qi were all happy.

Dancing and dancing, she was even happier than being favored by the emperor. Especially Concubine Shu, who had been in bed to recuperate after being beaten, jumped out of bed excitedly after hearing the news, as if her troubles had been relieved, and burst into tears of joy.

Everyone was speculating about what caused the queen, who had always been in the limelight, to be locked up in the palace for three days. Some people said that she was usually too arrogant and did not put anyone in her eyes, which offended Long Yan. Some people said that the emperor never liked her at all.

She was moved out of the cold palace just to block the mouths of the people in the world. Some people said that her favor and arrogance angered Prince Bingshan Han, which caused the emperor Long Yan to be furious. After all, that day

The fact that Xuanyuan Yehan stormed into Fengqi Palace like the King of Hell had already drifted into the courtyards of each palace like flowers falling in the wind. For a time, the news that the Queen had fallen out of favor spread in the harem. The entrance was originally bustling with people.

Fengqi Palace also suddenly became extremely quiet.

"Interesting." Shangguan Qi, who was sitting crookedly on the soft couch, unexpectedly raised the corners of his lips when he heard his servants reporting this matter. His slender onion fingers "touched" the cover of the book, a kind of historical feeling.

The sense of vicissitudes of life seemed to be conveyed to the tips of her fingers through the distance of time. Squinting slightly, on the floor covered with a big red carpet embroidered with peonies and hundreds of beautiful pictures, stacks of books with the same sense of vicissitudes of life were neatly divided into two parts.

, part of it is the harem rules and regulations, and part of it is the legal provisions of Xuanyuan Kingdom.

"Copy these books thirty times within three days and send them to the imperial study. I will check them myself!" Xuanyuan Yeya's voice still rang in his ears before leaving, but Shangguan Qi did not feel as resentful and angry as that day.

I am still as cool and leisurely as before, reading through these books with rich vocabulary and passing the time that finally calmed down.

Ever since she moved into Fengqi Palace, she has not thought about the two days of leisure, so today it is rare to return to the coldness and tranquility of a cold palace, and she is actually happy in her bones.[

Maybe she used to say that she couldn't bear the loneliness and sought excitement, but after these few days of observation, she felt that it was better to endure the loneliness. After all, she still yearned for a peaceful life.

Shangguan Qi's mood returned to a state of calmness and no trace of waves, so the three days of confinement were passed happily. When he was sleepy, he went to bed, and when he had nothing to do, he opened those legal books. Anyway,

It's early July now, and the summer is unbearable. It's not a bad day to hide in the house blowing the air conditioner and drinking ice water. But some people are different from what she thought. From the moment the imperial edict was issued, they were anxious in the house.

He kept stomping his feet, but now that he saw her leisurely and relaxed state, as if she were on vacation, he finally couldn't help but pounce on her.

"Master! Aren't you worried?" Yaya hugged Shangguan Qi's legs and looked at her with tears in her eyes. Because she really couldn't figure out where the master's calmness and leisure came from.

You must know that in the harem, news about the master's fall from grace has spread all over the sky!

"What are you worried about?" he responded to her lightly, but his eyes still stayed on the book smelling of ink. I really didn't expect that the legal provisions of this country are quite perfect and fair. A flash of appreciation flashed through his eyes.

"Master, you know!" Seeing that her master was still pretending to be confused even though he knew it, Yaya opened her mouth even more sadly. "Master, now people outside the palace are spreading the news that you have fallen out of favor. There are all kinds of versions! Don't you think so?

Are you angry?" Because some people actually said that the master is no longer perfect! What nonsense! The master is innocent, aren't those people afraid of rotting their tongues when they speak!

"What's the use of being angry?" He flipped through the yellowed pages with his fingers and felt a warmth between his legs. He raised his eyes in surprise. Sure enough, Yaya had already burst into tears. The tears dripped down her cheeks and fell onto her thin skin.

Her dress was soon soaked with moisture, but Yaya seemed to be unaware of anything and was still crying. When Shangguan Qi looked at her, her tears flowed even more happily.

"Master... wuwu... how could you do this! Do you know what they said about you? They said that master, you offended Long Yan by relying on your pampering! They even said that master, you failed to hook up with Prince Han, but you were humiliated by the emperor and the prince.

A meal! The master has obviously never done anything like this...but they...wow..."

The few people who were originally waiting in the palace saw Yaya bursting into tears, so Xia Yu and Dong Li couldn't help it. They turned their backs and secretly wiped their tears, as if they had been greatly wronged. This look,

It got to the point where Shangguan Qi was embarrassed to sit back and relax.

"What are you doing?" As soon as a cold voice sounded in the palace, several palace maids who were crying raised their heads to look at her, and saw their master sitting on the soft couch in white clothes like a pure lotus, holding a book in his hand.

, with a calm and calm demeanor, and an otherworldly look that really made their eyes stop crying.

"What's the use of crying here? Will it prevent external messages from being circulated? And if it spreads, it will only prove that I, Shangguan Qi, have fallen out of favor. Therefore, there is no use crying." He reached out and wiped Yaya clean.

With tears on her cheeks, she said earnestly, "In the harem, falling out of favor or being favored is as normal as eating. We stayed in the cold palace for three years, isolated from the outside world, to the point where you have forgotten that this harem is a battlefield without smoke.

There will always be big waves. Now, just a rumor has knocked you down like this. Tell me, how will you accompany me in the Sixth Palace and Three Courtyards in the future?"

"master……"

"Hey, a temporary fall from grace is nothing. What I want is a long-term smile. Have you ever seen a concubine who has fallen out of favor and sent the head of the House of Internal Affairs to look at the door?" He glanced at the person standing guard outside.

Little kid, Shangguan Qi couldn't help but sigh at Xuanyuan Yeya's good intentions. In order to prevent her from taking advantage of him and staying in Fengqi Palace to copy books, he actually sent all his personal eunuchs.

Every time she was blowing the air-conditioning in the room and looked through the window at the thin figure outside, she couldn't help but feel pity for the poor little kid. It seemed that every time she and Xuanyuan Yeya

In a battle, he must be the poor cannon fodder!

"That's right. There is nothing different about our Fengqi Palace in the past two days except that the master is not allowed to go out. It's all those hateful messages that caused us to lose our position." Now everyone thinks about it carefully, which house was lost.

The beloved concubine will have a housekeeper from the Ministry of Internal Affairs come to visit the gate?

"Although the message is scary, as long as our hearts are firm, there will be no such thing as losing ground." His eyes returned to the book, but the corners of his mouth curved in a cold and arrogant way. Colluding with Xuanyuan Yehan? Being humiliated by the emperor? Humph! These people

A woman really shines brightly just by giving her some sunshine! "Xia Yu, Dong Li."

"Yes." The two of them wiped away their tears. When they saw their master's eyes sparkling and his smile shallow, they knew that his master was going to fight back. So they all blinked excitedly, waiting for her to issue the task.

"You two, along with Xiao Haozi and the others, go and investigate for me where these messages are coming from. Also, please carefully investigate the outings of the three-day palace maids and eunuchs in Fengqi Palace. What did they do?

Come back and tell me everything."

They were all smart people. When they heard this, they knew what Shangguan Qi meant. She suspected that there was a ghost in the palace! After all, since moving into Fengqi Palace, the maids and eunuchs in the palace have automatically been classified as the master's master.

Under the sect. However, the daily affairs of the master and the work in the palace are still "intervened" by the people from the cold palace. These newly returned people are just caring for the flowers and cleaning the house. In fact, they also suspected that there was a mole in the palace at first.

, because it was already evening when Prince Han came that day, and the ladies in each courtyard had already closed their doors. They could hear that Prince Han stormed into the palace and broke into Fengqi Palace, but was humiliated by the emperor and Prince Han.

How did you know? It was just that the master had always been concerned about the peace in the palace, so he didn't mention it. Now that the master had brought it up, everyone readily agreed and went back to do things.

"What about me, Master?" Yaya felt a little unhappy seeing that she was left behind every time.

Seeing her pouting in dissatisfaction, Shangguan Qi smiled, pinched her face, and got up from the soft couch: "Let's go. Don't let the little playboy father-in-law get tired in this hot day." After saying that, he took off.

Walked outside the house. Yaya was stunned for a moment, then happily ran into the house and ran out with a parasol.[

As soon as he opened the door of the palace, a wave of heat swept over him. He frowned slightly and looked at the sweaty little boy standing at the door, and the wrinkles between his eyebrows spread out instantly. And the little boy knew Shangguan Qi at the first sight.

, suddenly drooped the corners of his mouth, looking like he wanted to cry but didn't dare to cry, and looked at her pitifully.

"Empress, please spare this slave." He finally came. He stood at the door tremblingly for two days, just waiting for this moment. However, the Queen couldn't help it and came with a smile.

"What are you talking about, father-in-law! Our master saw you standing outside and working hard, so he couldn't bear to leave the palace! Just don't be grateful! Why do you still use this tone to speak to my master?" Shangguan Qi

Before she could speak, Yaya jumped out angrily and pointed at the little boy and started scolding her. Seeing how she was squeezing her waist with one hand and extending her index finger with her other hand, she looked really aggressive.

"Because...because..." After hearing what Yaya said, the little boy didn't feel ashamed, but felt even more aggrieved. He opened his mouth to speak, but before he could speak, Yaya pushed him back. I think he was the same.

How did a first-term steward end up being scolded by a little palace maid? He wanted to fight back, but the queen was looking at him with a smile. How dare he? Seeing that Yaya was still chattering, she might have scolded him back into his mother's womb and was reborn.

When he came down, the little boy really wanted to yell, "It's just because the queen is out that he will have to work harder!"

"Okay Yaya, the little kid is still someone close to the emperor, the manager of the Ministry of Internal Affairs. You scold him like this, so how can he lose face and lead his men?" Seeing that the scolds were almost done, Shangguan Qi spoke.

Stopped. I accidentally saw a palace maid cleaning the courtyard trembling. When she saw her looking at her, she turned her head away in fear. The corner of her mouth curled up, and she seemed to understand something mentally.

"Yes, thank you, empress." Before Yaya could say anything, the little boy was the first to thank her. Seeing Yaya holding an umbrella, the little boy asked, "Where are you... going?" The last two words were hesitant.

It took a long time to spit it out.

"Go to the Imperial Study Room and find your master!" Shangguan Qi rolled her eyes at him and walked down the steps. Yaya hurriedly opened her umbrella and followed her. Seeing that the little boy was still there, she couldn't help but turn around and call him "

Hurry and bring someone to follow!"

"Ah? Oh!" The little kid curled his lips. It's a blessing, not a curse. It's a curse that can't be avoided! Let's go! It's just that... the little kid was surprised when he saw the two people with empty hands. Where is the book he copied?

Shangguan Qi always only takes two maids and two eunuchs with him when he goes out. He doesn't think that he likes to have a big meal like the concubines. But today, several concubines who were having fun in the imperial garden saw Shangguan Qi dressed in white and walking in front like a goddess.

When they arrived, Yaya and the head of the Ministry of Internal Affairs followed with nearly two dozen people, they couldn't help but change their expressions. Just because that posture could never be matched by them, let alone the head of the Ministry of Internal Affairs.

Escort? Then one by one their faces changed, and they looked at that figure walking on the avenue with ferocious expressions. Suddenly, they all thought of something again, and laughed loudly.

"Huh! You've already fallen out of favor and you still like to put on airs! I'm so ashamed!"

"That's right! Even now, you can take so many people around the palace and you're not afraid of jokes!"

Everyone was talking happily. On Shangguan Qi's side, some people were angry. The little boy's face was pale. He slightly raised his eyes and looked sideways at Shangguan Qi, but found that Shangguan Qi was not angry at all.

Instead, his smile became sweeter and more touching.

"Ya Ya." Noticing the little boy's attention, Shangguan Qi smiled and ignored him. "Make a note of those chirping sparrows, and find time to blow them up together!"

"Yes!" Yaya nodded excitedly and obeyed, not caring about the little kid's increasingly frightened face.

You can’t mess with me! You really can’t mess with me!

When they arrived at the Imperial Study Room, the little boy was just about to ask Shangguan Qi to wait and when he stepped in and reported, the white figure had already passed him and headed towards the door. Then as the little boy expected, another

Under the extremely painful gaze, he kicked open the door with a "bang" and then walked in with a calm expression.

"Your Majesty... Your Majesty, Your Majesty... Your Majesty, Your Majesty... Your Majesty, I'm here to hand you over... Ahem, I'm here to say hello." Glancing at a certain girl sitting on the soft couch eating fruit, the little boy sighed sadly,

Standing aside waiting to be punished.

Hello? Xuanyuan Yeya smiled sarcastically and looked at the white figure below. Although she had not seen her for two days, she came and went freely, and her unreasonable and arrogant movements did not change at all. Her face without makeup was still so moving.

, but it was even more glorious than before, which made Xuanyuan Yeya couldn't help but frown in confusion.

"What? The queen has finished copying?" Xuanyuan Yeya put down the work in his hands and leaned lazily on the back of the chair.

"Yes." He took out a thin piece of paper from his sleeve and handed it to the little boy. Then he glanced at Xuanyuan Yehan and the others sitting opposite.

Even after being punished, you are still so arrogant!

Feng Jueyue and Mo Xuanyu had a rare understanding of each other. After looking at each other, they picked up their teacups and started drinking tea. Shangguan Yu, on the other hand, had a bit more worry on his face.[

Seeing Xuanyuan Ye Han sitting there arrogantly sipping tea, Shangguan Qi curled his lips evilly and said in a nonchalant voice: "I heard that Prince Han was kidnapped a few days ago? Who is it? Such a brave and resourceful person.
