In the cold palace, a stunningly beautiful woman and an old man with a white beard sat across the table.

"Thum, thump, thump." The index finger of his right hand gently tapped the armrest of the lounge chair. Shangguan Qi lay on the chair with a comfortable expression and closed his eyes to rest. Recalling the tangled expression on the evil man's face on the street yesterday, he pursed his lips lightly.

The corners of her lips were slightly raised in an elegant arc.

"Ahem..." Shangguan Hong coughed a few times, pretending to be loud. When his daughter, who looked contented with her face, finally turned to look at him, he smiled slightly awkwardly. "Qi'er, it looks like you're doing well."

Are you having a good time? "It's not bad." He picked up the tea cup on the table next to him and replied calmly.

Maybe it was because the last killing was successful as a warning to others, plus the reward that Emperor Ye sent not long ago, there was really no one to disturb them during this period of time, and the Leng Palace was in rare silence for half a month.[

Little half a month...unknowingly, it has been here for so long.

When he opened the lid of the teacup, the scent of jasmine came to his face. The light fragrance filled the room moistly, which made Shangguan Qi's slightly irritable mood improve.

"Daddy, what's the matter with your visit this time? Please come back if you have nothing to do. It's inevitable that people will gossip if you come to the cold palace too many times." He took a sip of the scented tea, and the elegant aroma lingered between his teeth for a long time. Yes, Yaya made the tea.

Technology is becoming more and more sophisticated.

"How could Qi'er say that about Daddy? Daddy is so sad." Seeing his daughter indifferently ordering him to be kicked out, Shangguan Hong suddenly blinked his small but bright eyes pitifully, trying to win his daughter's sympathy.

"Is everything okay? Then -" He raised his eyebrows, wanting to ask the maid at the door to see him off.

"There's a drought in the south. I wonder what Qi'er has to say!" Shangguan Hong swooped forward and stopped Shangguan Qi from raising his right hand. Seeing the hint of joking flashing in his daughter's eyes, his face turned red with embarrassment and he sat back.

seat.

Hum! She knew it! Seeing Shangguan Hong's old face blushing with embarrassment and lowering his head without speaking, Shangguan Qi put down the tea cup and lay down on the recliner again, closing her eyes. But the corners of her lips could not stop rising.

Shangguan Hong does love his daughter, and everyone can prove it. But after the last conversation, Shangguan Qi discovered that this prime minister father always seemed to be testing her for something. The drought in the south was a political matter of the previous dynasty, but he

But he went to the harem and asked him what he thought of this 'abandoned queen'. If he was a confused old minister, Shangguan Qi might be able to understand. After all, there are countless examples in history of previous dynasties relying on the harem. But the old fox in front of him had clear and lively eyes. How could he see it?

It's not like he's a stupid minister and a mediocre person who insists on coming to ask her what she thinks even though he knows that the harem is not allowed to interfere in politics. It's obvious that he has bad intentions.

Although she, Shangguan Qi, was filial to her parents and was very grateful for the old man's love. But this did not mean that she, Shangguan Qi, would be casually plotted by others, even if it was his biological father. So she pretended to be indifferent.

She closed her eyes and ignored Shangguan Hong, who was peeking at her expression.

"Qi'er...but what did you come up with?" Seeing Shangguan Qi cross her legs leisurely and adjust the corners of her mouth slightly, looking happy, Shangguan Hong thought she had come up with some good ideas, so he leaned over excitedly.

.

"Daddy, are you confused?" Seeing that he finally couldn't help it, he raised the corners of his lips, frowned, and looked at him pretending to be angry. Seeing that he was slightly stunned, he said sternly, "You can't do politics in the harem. As a father.

How can the Prime Minister dare to do such stupid things? Could it be that I have worked too much these past few days and my body has been burned out and my brain is confused? In this case, I should take a good look at it from Dr. Xuan, so as not to leave any sequelae."

Seeing his face turn red, white, and black, making people laugh like a palette, Shangguan Qi suppressed his smile. Seeing that he was about to speak again, he hurriedly said loudly: "It's a good thing if daddy is here."

It’s time to meet. It’s time to go home. Don’t make mother anxious. Yaya! Send me off to you!” After saying that, he got up and lay down on the soft couch beside him, with his back to him.

"I..." Shangguan Hong was a little annoyed when he saw that his daughter had set him up. The beard on his chin trembled slightly. Just as he was about to speak, Yaya opened the door and came in, indicating that he could leave.

Damn it! If you fail to steal the chicken, you will lose the rice! This daughter is so articulate!

After seeing off the Prime Minister, Yaya immediately ran back and squatted next to the soft couch, watching Shangguan Qi take a nap with her eyes closed, biting her lips, and couldn't help but reach out and poke Shangguan Qi's arm.

"Master, what happened just now? I saw that the master's face was not very good, he seemed to be angry." Because she grew up in the Prime Minister's Mansion, the Prime Minister and his wife treated their servants very well, so Yaya cared about the young lady very much.

The relationship with the master. But she was standing outside just now and didn't hear any quarrel inside? Why was the master so angry that his face turned red? Seeing that Shangguan Qi ignored her, he couldn't bear his curiosity and concern, so he reached out again...

"If you poke me, I'll make you run fifty laps around the cold palace." A cold voice suddenly came, frightening Yaya to stop her hand in a hurry, looking pitifully at Shangguan Qi's slightly thin back.

With her elegant and long beauty's spine, the long white silver dress she wore was like flowing gauze, gently attached to her jade-like skin, outlining that imaginative arc. Yaya blinked her eyes,

She just felt that the back of the queen after she woke up, lying casually like this, made her daydream and want to find out. However, her cold, sometimes hot, and sometimes cute temper at that time also made her stop in vain, not daring to offend. Such a contradiction

The unity made Yaya's little face become extremely entangled in an instant.

The empress was very good to her in the past, and although she is very good now, why does she feel that the empress does not like her anymore? Ugh... How can she live without the empress! [

"Go, call Chunhe in. I have something to ask her." Just when Yaya was depressed and about to cry, the cold voice sounded again. She sniffed, stood up and looked at the quiet and peaceful place.

With a sleeping look on his face, he turned around and walked towards the outside of the house. But that step lacked the relaxation and vitality he had just now.

"Master and I are fine. You don't have to worry." Yaya paused as she stepped out of the threshold. She looked at the figure who was still lying with her back in surprise. A big smile appeared on her face, and she quickly went to find Chunhe happily.

elder sister.

The empress still cares about her! The empress still cares about her! After coming to this conclusion, Yaya returned to her cheerful and lively mood. After a while, her happy smile echoed in the courtyard of Leng Palace, and Shangguan Qi, who was taking a nap, also had a faint smile on her face.

of arc.

"Master, you are looking for me." Hearing the master calling her, Chunhe quickly entered the room. Seeing her Shangguan Qi resting on the soft couch, he lowered his voice and said.

"Yeah." She said lightly, eyes still closed gently. "How is the progress at Bihen Tower? Are the funds enough?" This is the first property she built for herself after time travel, and she must not have it.

Extremely sloppy.

"Master, I have renovated the Bihen Building according to your previous request. The five top names have also been renamed and have people come to teach them. There is no shortage of funds." Chunhe paused.

, and then said, "Master, I gave the original madam some money to send her away, and now I am looking for a new manager of Bihen Building." After saying that, she stood there slightly nervously, because she was the one who sent the old madam.

The private behavior was not ordered by Shangguan Qi. However, the master always pays attention to the people below to strictly follow the master's orders. Her behavior...

"The reason." There was no emotion or anger in the cold voice.

Taking a deep breath, Chunhe pursed his lips and said truthfully: "The old madam is a waste except for blindly amassing money. She is half responsible for the decline of Chunhe Courtyard. If Bihen Tower is again in charge of her,

I'm afraid I will end up on the same path as Chunheyuan."

After saying this, Chunhe stood there motionless, thinking about what his master would do to her. Who knew, but what he heard was a burst of laughter like a clear spring.

"That's right. I feel relieved that you are responsible for Bihen Tower. I originally wanted to get rid of the madam, but now that you have done it, it will be easier for me. In this case, I am looking for a madam, and my background must be clear.

"If you don't have enough money, go to the bank to get it. The money from the emperor's reward will be enough for a while. You don't have to ask me about this little thing from now on." After saying that, he waved his hand to signal her to go down. Chunhe said

Looking at Chuchen's indifferent back, I became more determined to be loyal.

After everything was settled, Shangguan Qi let go of her nerves and finally fell asleep. But not long after she fell asleep, she was awakened by the sound of crying in her ears. When she got up, she saw Yaya running in crying: "It's not good, Master."

!The small table and stool were beaten!"
