The last time Qin Feng had tamed and left the palace, she had already been punished by Xuanyuan Zhiling in her disguise, all the way until two days later.

On this day, Qin Feng was bored out of her mind at the palace as she sighed and looked at the scenery outside the window.

"empress, the Emperor is treating you to a meal with him."

Qin Chen walked in, and said indifferently while looking at Qin Feng's back.

Qin Feng suddenly realised that it was already time for lunch, so she turned and followed Qin Chen towards Xuanyuan Zhiling's palace.

"empress has arrived …"

As the young eunuch called out, Xuanyuan Zhiling was already sitting at the table, waiting for him.

"You're here so soon? "Looks like you really have nothing to do in the palace."

The moment Xuanyuan Zhiling saw Qin Feng, her expression became complicated, and he said coldly.

"You know I'm bored and don't spend time with me?"

Qin Feng then sat opposite to Xuanyuan Zhiling, staring at him with her watery eyes.

Xuanyuan Zhiling heard and laughed, but there was a hint of emotion that Qin Feng could not understand in her smile.

"Since you're so bored, why don't you come with me to participate in the court's events in the future?"

Xuanyuan Zhiling raised the corner of his mouth and laughed as he looked at Qin Feng. When Qin Feng saw this expression, Qin Feng felt that it was a little strange, but she did not think too much into it.

"What event? Is there any large event going on in the palace recently? "

Qin Feng didn't even raise her head because she knew that most of the activities in the palace were senseless and boring, and she had no interest in learning them.

Seeing Qin Feng's unconcerned face, Xuanyuan Zhiling chuckled.

"A beauty, pick a woman for me. Are you interested in following me?"

Xuanyuan Zhiling said those words proudly, and sure enough, after Qin Feng heard this, her expression changed greatly.

Qin Feng's expression became somewhat ugly as both her eyes stared intently at Xuanyuan Zhiling. Qin Feng already felt as if her heart had stopped beating in a split second.

"What did you say?" A female elective? "

Qin Feng put down the chopsticks in her hand, her eyes containing traces of anger.

Seeing Qin Feng's expression, Xuanyuan Zhiling was inexplicably happy in his heart. When he saw Qin Feng getting jealous for him, he felt really comfortable in his heart.

"That's right, female contestant, but I didn't ask for them. They were sent over by the Soaring Wind Kingdom."

When Xuanyuan Zhiling said this, his expression became a little colder, but he clearly noticed that the moment he said those words, Qin Feng's expression became even more unsightly.

"You should be very happy, right? So many beauties are waiting for you to pick? "

Qin Feng pretended not to care, she picked up her chopsticks and continued scooping up the food in her bowl, but from the moment she heard those words, she could no longer tell what it tasted like.

Qin Feng continuously stuffed food into her mouth, but she couldn't help but size up Xuanyuan Zhiling's expression in the corner of her eyes. If he had even the slightest hint of a happy expression, Qin Feng would be so angry that she would fly ten meters into the air.

"Not bad, but it's also good that I want to go and take a look. After all, he did have good intentions."

As Xuanyuan Zhiling said that, he picked up a bowl of soup and a faint smile appeared on his face.

"Alright, then this empress will accompany you to pick out your beauties. But if you want to take them as your concubines, do you need my permission?"

As Qin Feng spoke, she looked at Xuanyuan Zhiling with a somewhat cold expression.

"That's for sure. You're the Queen after all, so I'll naturally get your approval. Moreover, I promised you before that you would be the only one in my heart."

Xuanyuan Zhiling smiled, his expression revealing a slight trace of complex emotion.

"That's good, as long as you remember."

Qin Feng's nose turned sour, this guy really wanted to go to the female contestant.

Returning to her room, Qin Feng let out a deep sigh. It wasn't easy being an empress, to actually have to helplessly watch her man choose another woman.

Sitting at the table, Qin Feng raised her teacup and wanted to drink a cup of tea to ease her mood, but surprisingly discovered a very familiar jade hairpin on the table.

"Isn't this the jade hairpin I saw on the street that day?" Why would it appear in the Imperial Palace? "

Qin Feng was very clear in her heart that such a jade hairpin would never appear in the Imperial Palace, but the truth was right in front of him.

"Qin Chen, Qin Chen..."

Qin Feng first guessed that it might have been Qin Chen who brought her into the palace. Otherwise, why would this jade hairpin appear on her table?

"empress, what's the matter?"

Qin Chen knelt in front of Qin Feng with a serious and nervous expression on her face.

Qin Feng picked up the jade hairpin on the table and looked at Qin Chen with suspicion.

"Did you bring this jade hairpin into the palace?"

Qin Feng tightly furrowed her brows, as her eyes tightly stared at Qin Chen. Qin Chen glanced at the jade hairpin in Qin Feng's hand and shook her head resolutely.

"Reporting to empress, I didn't bring this jade hairpin back to the palace. Qin Chen thought that empress was too fond of it and brought it back to the palace on her own."

Qin Chen's words immediately made Qin Feng's heart tighten, because she realized that if this jade hairpin wasn't brought into the palace by Qin Chen, then it meant that someone had been following them since the start.

"Looks like our every move is being controlled by someone."

Qin Feng's words immediately aroused Qin Chen's vigilance, and she also realized the seriousness of the situation.

"empress, this means that this jade hairpin is here to threaten us."

When Qin Chen said this, his expression became ugly, because to a professional bodyguard of the empress, being followed and not knowing it was actually a huge insult.

Qin Feng sighed softly, because she kept having the feeling that all of this was related to that Song Mingzhi. Ever since that day when he had inexplicably appeared, everything had become strange.

"Don't alert us first, we still have to act according to the circumstances. We don't know what this person wants, nor do we know his motive for following us. Let's take a look first."

Looking out the window, Qin Feng suddenly felt a sense of security, because she felt that a pair of sharp eyes was staring at her.

"empress, it seems like this person did not intend to kill us. Otherwise, there is no need to wait until today."

Qin Chen's logical analysis revealed that this person did not want to take their names, as for other things, they had no way of knowing.

Qin Feng sighed, she picked up the jade hairpin on the table and looked at it carefully, she could not help but frown, what is this person's goal?

The second day, Qin Feng and Qin Chen went to the imperial garden to admire the flowers. Qin Feng was depressed, because the next day would be the day of Xuanyuan Zhiling's choice of woman.

"empress, which flower looks the best in this imperial garden?"

The usually cold and old-fashioned Qin Chen suddenly raised her head and revealed a slight smile. Looking at the various flowers in the imperial garden, Qin Chen smiled.

"It doesn't matter which type of flower looks the best. The most important thing is which type you like the most."

Seeing Qin Chen suddenly become so emotional, Qin Feng smiled as she looked at him.

Qin Chen turned her head to look at Qin Feng's face, sighed lightly and did not say anything else.

"There is never a better one in this world, only the one that suits you is the best."

Qin Feng said with slight regret.

"Qin Chen, look, does this flower look good?"

Qin Feng pulled Qin Chen and walked to the middle of a cluster of flowers, and pointed at a flower among the roses. It was a blue rose, beautiful yet with a hint of gentleness.

"Yes, empress."

Qin Chen said in an indifferent tone, her expression carrying traces of complex emotions.

"If empress likes it, why don't you take it off? In short, there are a lot of blue roses in the Imperial Garden and they are all yours, empress."

Qin Chen said indifferently.

Hearing that, Qin Feng laughed faintly, but then sighed again.

"If you like flowers so much that you have to pick them off, do you still dare to see such beautiful things in front of you? I just need to take a look. "

Qin Feng said, then turned and left.

Qin Chen didn't understand, and only quietly looked at Qin Feng's back view. The beautiful things in this world didn't always have to be taken for their own.

Not knowing how much time had passed, Qin Feng only felt that she was sleeping soundly. The moment she opened her eyes, she suddenly smelled a delicate fragrance;

Qin Feng frowned, she did not have any blue roses in her room, but right now, the scent of blue roses was wafting in the air.

Dressed in a phoenix robe, Qin Feng stood up and looked around the palace. Unknowingly, a huge flower pot had appeared within the palace, and what was growing inside was a blooming blue rose.

"Someone come!" Where did the blue rose come from?! "

Qin Feng's heart immediately tensed up, because she knew that this was something she had once said she liked during the day.

When Qin Chen rushed over, he was immediately shocked to see what was happening inside the palace. Someone had delivered a pot of blue roses to him, but Qin Chen and Qin Feng were actually unaware.

"empress, where did this blue rose come from?"

Qin Chen was also dumbstruck. Looking at the pot of blue roses, both Qin Chen and Qin Feng did not know what to do.

Qin Feng sighed softly, a complicated expression on her face.

"This is the question that I want to ask you. It seems like that person has control over our every move."

As she said this, Qin Feng's expression became even more serious, and when Qin Chen looked at her face, she immediately kneeled on the ground.

"Please forgive me, empress, Qin Chen did not fulfill her duty!"

Qin Feng did not blame Qin Chen. She only furrowed her brows, because she knew that this person was not someone Qin Chen could take care of.

"It seems like this person is Song Mingzhi, but since he is not the son of General Bai Wei, Song You, then who exactly is he?"

The more Qin Feng said, the weirder she felt it was. As long as she said that she liked this person, he would send her the next day.

Thinking about this, Qin Feng's expression became a little ugly.

"Don't worry empress, if there is another time, Qin Chen will definitely be able to discover it, and capture him."

Qin Chen promised solemnly, with a look of determination and unwillingness.

Qin Feng laughed softly as she turned to look at Qin Chen.

"If you really could hold him, then you wouldn't have been tied to a tree last time, would you?"

Qin Feng's words immediately caused Qin Chen's expression to change slightly.

"Please forgive me, empress. What happened last time will never happen again. It will never happen again."

As he said till here, the resolution on Qin Chen's face and eyes grew even stronger.

Qin Feng only faintly smiled, and did not say much.

Very soon, the second day would be Xuanyuan Zhiling's day to choose a female disciple. As the empress, naturally Qin Feng could not miss this day.

After Qin Feng washed herself, she wore the phoenix robe that Xuanyuan Zhiling had specially made for her.

"empress is really beautiful today. If the emperor sees it later, he would definitely be very happy."

Qin Chen would never say words of flattery, so Qin Feng believed her words.

Qin Feng smiled faintly. Remembering that she was going to help Xuanyuan Zhiling choose a beautiful woman to be hherconcubine, Qin Feng felt a burst of jealousy in her heart. He had clearly promised that she would only take her, Qin Feng, as his concubine.

The reason why Qin Feng was late was to express her dissatisfaction. Even though she knew that it was childish, Qin Feng still did not feel angry.

"My queen, why are you not going to watch the ceremony so late?"

Xuanyuan Zhiling personally came to welcome Qin Feng. Seeing Qin Feng's unhappy face, Xuanyuan Zhiling asked with a light smile, with a tinge of evil in his eyes.
