When the fireworks exploded, Song Que stood there on the roof. From afar, he could see the wind blowing his clothes around him, making him look very lonely.
The faces of the silent concubine who had been thrown into the hall stiffened. Everyone had their own thoughts as they looked at the concubine in the room, trying to curry favor with Gu Jingyuan who was sitting at the head seat.
Her eyes were clouded, and the glass of wine in front of her blurred into countless shadows.
"Empress, let's go back." Ru Zhu bent her waist slightly as she whispered to her.
Quiet And Steadfast shook his head and murmured, "He went back. He was just lost in thought while facing the empty chamber."
Ruzhu didn't hear him clearly and wanted to continue persuading him, but she was stopped by Jingfei.
This fake liveliness, although it couldn't warm her heart, she would rather accept it.
After seeing the fireworks, there wasn't enough time left. Gu Jingcheng brought Meng Zixian back to the palace and the two said their goodbyes.
Meng Zixian was in a very good mood. She returned to her palace and began to play a small tune. As she looked at the jade pendant, the light of the fire shone through it, making it even warmer than before.
When the banquet in the palace was over, Quiet And Steadfast returned to his bedroom with a tired look on his face. When he saw a figure sitting in front of the table, he was startled.
When she saw who it was, Jing Fei's eyes lit up. "It's you …"
Song Qi sat for a long time. Finally, the person he wanted to see stood up. "Huai Zhi."
Jingfei drank a few mouthfuls of wine, her face slightly red as she spoke with a breath burning in her throat, "Minister Song, didn't you say before that it would be difficult to enter the palace?"
Song Que nodded his head: "I thought of a way, but it was too late."
"It's alright. I'm very happy that you're here." Jing Fei chuckled and her body softened. She fell forward and Song Qi immediately caught her.
"Minister Song, happy new year. May the king be old and well." Jingfei said gently while nestling in Song Qi He's arms.
When Song Que heard this, his eyes softened: "Happy New Year."
Jing Fei suddenly remembered something and ran to the jewelry box. She took out a jade pendant and walked in front of Song Que, "A present."
Song Que took the jade pendant that Jing Fei gave him. The jade pendant slowly heated up in his hand. It was very warm.
When Jingfei finished, she fell asleep in the crook of his arm. Song Qi held the man horizontally and placed him on the bed. She had to wait on him like a pearl before she left the palace.
He waited for a long time, not to say anything, but to do something, just to see the other party. After waiting for a long time, not to say anything, to do something, but to see the other party, this small wish of his brought the hearts of the two closer.
The next day.
When Meng Zixian woke up, she jumped off the bed excitedly. The jade pendant that she had slept with last night fell to the ground with a crisp sound.
She turned her head to the side and picked up the jade pendant. The pendant fell to the ground. It was slightly shattered inside, but it did not affect the appearance of the pendant.
"Little Lord." Ling'er called out to her from outside. She held the jade pendant in her hand and placed it in a box.
"Coming —!" She ran out.
Ling'er took the small lantern and lantern she had made a few days ago and hung them all over the courtyard. She called Meng Zixian out to take a look.
In one corner of the room, there was a bare tree with a small lantern hanging from the string. There was a small candle inside and it was lit up in the evening. The colorful lanterns reflected the light. It must be very beautiful.
"This tree, why does it look so lonely? Let's make more paper flowers." Meng Zixian looked at the bare tree trunk, supported his chin and suggested.
Ling'er smiled. "Little Lord, it's cold today. It's snowing at night, and the paper flower will get soaked."
Meng Zixian was instantly disappointed and sighed.
While the two of them were talking, Jingfei came over.
Jing Fei was wearing a jade-green cigarette shirt, a flowery green grass pleated skirt, and a creamy green skin. She wore a thick cloak over her picturesque eyebrows. She stood at the door, smiling, which made people feel comfortable.
"Jingfei." Meng Zixian and Ling'er bowed when they saw her.
When Jingfei walked in and saw the scene in the courtyard, she praised, "It's really pretty."
"Many thanks to the Empress for her praise." Meng Zi said with a smile.
"How can it be like my courtyard? It's so deserted just by looking at it." When Jing Fei walked closer, she saw that she was not wearing any makeup today. She was dressed in simple yet elegant attire. Even Zhu Chai didn't wear much. She took the lead step by step, swaying and swaying.
"Empress, this hairpin looks really good." Meng Zixian noticed it with a glance.
When Jing Fei heard this, her face reddened, and she revealed a gentle smile. "Of course, everything he gave you is good."
Meng Zixian immediately reacted when she heard what he said. Her face stiffened and then recovered. She pretended to smile easily and said, "Master Song is usually very serious. His eyes aren't bad."
"In front of me, she is very gentle." It was unknown if it was unintentional or if it was intentional, but Meng Zixian raised her head to look at her.
"What orders has the Empress come today?"
Normally, Jingfei rarely came here, so she never came to the Three Treasures Hall for no reason. Meng Zixian naturally had to ask a few questions.
"Since yesterday, a pretty girl has been photographed. I am here to discuss this matter."
"Newbie entering the palace means that the power behind this is going to be refurbished again. What I want to know is, what is Qi He planning to do?"
Meng Zi said, "I just need to find out what kind of girls are doted on and find out who has the best backing."
"Oh …" When Jing Fei heard this, she nodded. She seemed to have thought of something and was absent-minded.
"There's nothing else. I've prepared some gifts, so I'll have someone deliver them later. I'll be leaving first." Jingfei stood up and left with Ru Zhu.
Meng Zixian looked at her back and felt strange. He asked Ling'Er, "You should know the relationship between Song Qi and Jing Fei. Before Jing Fei came, did she also come often to find out about Song Qi He's plans?"
Hearing this, Ling'er did not immediately answer. "Little Lord, I do not know about Lord Song's matters. I only need to obey his orders."
Meng Zixian glanced at Ling'er. Although Ling'er had grown closer to her recently, in Ling'er's heart, her master was her master. She had some things to say, but refused to reveal them.
"Alright, alright, let's not think about this anymore!" Meng Zixian shouted, and the atmosphere became lively. Ling'er was still smiling, waiting for her orders.
Meng Zixian had made up her mind that she would definitely go to the storage palace tonight to find out what was going on.
As the Prime Minister, Song Que He definitely had to do something. He had to enter the palace for the new year to explain the situation last year, and speaking of his plans for the current year, Gu Jing Yuan fell into a deep slumber after listening for a while.
"Song Qing, stay in the palace tonight. We will talk tomorrow." Gu Jingyuan casually said.
"Your subject obeys the decree." Song Qishen had no choice but to stay in the palace. After he left, Gu Jingyuan ran off to have some fun.
Gu Jing Cheng was brought to a room by the palace maids, and two of the palace maids were assigned to rest in the palace.
