Chapter 134 (3,000 words) Xuan Yi is really too...

On New Year's Eve, the palace lanterns were kept burning. When the sky was slightly bright, the falling snow stopped, and everything was silent, the palace maids slowly went in.

The gauze curtain was hanging down, letting in a little light. When Yin Xing woke up in a daze, he felt like he was about to die.

But Xuan Yizhen in front of the dressing table was wearing plain clothes and inner garments, with a slender figure and flowing black hair. She was served by palace maids around her, and it was obvious that she had changed her clothes and bathed.

Yin Xing raised his brows helplessly, feeling that people are really different!

After a while, Xuan Yizheng raised his hand to wave away the palace maids, and walked closer to the couch, as if he noticed Yin Xing's gaze.

The gauze curtain swayed, and their eyes met. Yin Xing was a little surprised at Xuan Yi's sharpness, and his eyes shrank.

Xuan Yizheng raised his thin lips slightly, lifted the gauze curtain with his bare hands, and looked down at Yin Xing, who revealed a section of his slender arm.

Although it was extremely cold outside the palace, it was exceptionally warm inside. On the one hand, Xuan Yizheng was afraid of the cold, and on the other hand, Yin Xing was afraid of the heat. Especially when they were intimate, she would actively move closer to him to seek coolness.

"Can't you pay it back?" Xuan Yizheng slowly sat aside, his eyes moving from Yin Xing's smooth arms to her exposed shoulders. He could even vaguely see the changes in her body caused by the pressure in front of her, and her calm eyes were dark and difficult to discern.

"Well, do you have anything to do today?" Yin Xing looked up at Xuan Yizheng in front of him, feeling a little embarrassed.

Because Yin Xing remembered that when they were making love at night, Xuan Yizheng would look at him so quietly, like melting ice and snow, silently surrounding him.

Xuan Yizhen looked calmly at the pink mark on Yin Xing's white neck. His throat rolled as he replied in a hoarse voice, "Well, we have to go to the ancestral temple today. If you don't go, you'll be rumored to be a demon if you don't go."

When they were intimate, Xuan Yi really wanted to be able to possess each other forever like Yin Xing, but he had no choice and could only express his thoughts through kisses.

Hearing this, Yin Xing had no choice but to stand up. After all, her position as queen was not easy to come by. If she slacked off, she would really be letting down Xuan Yizheng's thoughts.

The sky was thick with fog and it was rare to see clear skies. Yin Xing changed into a luxurious dress and got on the chariot with Xuan Yizheng to leave the palace.

The smell of fireworks lingered in the New Year atmosphere. Hundreds of officials accompanied the procession, along with military generals as guards. The ceremonial procession was so grand that it attracted many people to watch.

When Shangguan Sheng saw these generals who were valued by the empress, it was obvious that the attack on the Gongyang family was just the beginning.

Last year, the empress abolished the restrictions on candidates from poor families recommended by aristocratic families, and even promoted the admission of women. It is obvious that this spring's imperial examination will select many new forces.

These new forces entered the court with the help of the empress, and became the emperor's disciples in the true sense, and would naturally further expand the imperial power.

The power of the aristocratic family was gradually disintegrating and diluting. Shangguan Sheng thought of his own family and realized that Jiang Yun's decision to leave the court was a wise one.

It is extremely difficult to survive in the cracks, not to mention that the empress is suspicious and ruthless. If he changes sides in the battle, not only will his life be in danger, but the Shangguan family will be destroyed even faster.

The wind was cold and chilly, and Shangguan Sheng looked solemn. When he glanced at the people on the long street, he suddenly felt that this might be the general trend.

If the dynasty is controlled by aristocratic families, the emperor has no power, the treasury has no money, and the court is deserted, sooner or later there will be chaos in the world, and ultimately the poor people will suffer.

The sound of horse hooves echoed, and a ray of bright sunlight appeared through the thick fog in the sky, silently illuminating the snow on the cold branches, making it exceptionally crystal clear.

As time goes by, the snow melts, the birds fly and the grass grows, and the new green leaves climb the branches silently, adding a bit of spring.

During the spring of the year, the government affairs are the busiest, as arrangements need to be made for the spring farming season and the imperial examinations.

It started to drizzle in the morning. Yin Xing tasted the soft and delicious pastries. He hadn't seen Xuan Yizhen return to the palace for a long time, so he knew that she must be too busy to eat.

Sure enough, not long after, the female official Chunli slowly came in and brought oral instructions.

"Your Majesty is discussing important matters with the ministers. Please have your meal first."

"No, I'll just have some pastries. I'm not really hungry."

Yin Xing looked at the rain outside out of boredom. It was a little chilly and obviously not suitable to go out of the temple for a walk.

The female official Chunli hesitated and said, "Then order someone to prepare it first."

After all, Queen Yin had to report to the Lord about her three meals a day, so she couldn't be careless.

"Okay, how long will the recent court affairs last?"

"Spring plowing generally has seasonal requirements, and then there are the Ministry of Works matters like repairing ditches. As for the imperial examinations, there's the palace examination, and after that, there's a Qujiang banquet to appoint candidates to official positions, so it might be April. However, there are also sacrifices and travels during Qingming and Cold Food Festival."

When Yin Xing heard this, he felt dizzy because it was only mid-February.

It was also mentioned that after April, it would be the Dragon Boat Festival in May, so Xuan Yizhen would still be busy for another half a year!

The female official looked at Queen Yin in confusion, her head lowered, crawling softly on the table, like a kitten, looking listless.

Although I don't understand, I have to admit that Queen Yin was indeed beautiful and had a very good temperament. She never had a bad temper.

It is no wonder that the Lord favors Queen Yin in every way and does not even consider the issue of offspring.

After all, if the master really wants a child, it would be a very easy thing to do.

But the master has never thought of falling in love with someone else, otherwise he would not have used threats and bribes to drive away those noble young men.

In the afternoon, the rain finally stopped, but the sky was still a little gray.

When Xuan Yizheng stepped into the palace, he did not see any familiar figure sitting on the couch by the window, so he walked towards the inner hall to look for someone.

The hall was silent. Xuan Yizheng slowly approached the couch, raised his hand to open the gauze curtain, but did not see Yin Xing, and his expression changed slightly.

"Come here, where is Queen Yin now?"

"Your Majesty, Queen Yin has never left the palace."

Xuan Yizheng turned around and looked around coldly. This look made the female official Chunli's scalp tingle with fear, and the palace maids knelt on the ground in fear.

At this moment, Yin Xing, who was in the secret room of the palace, found himself locked in with a distressed look on his face.

When Yin Xing saw Xuan Yizhen, he was so embarrassed that he dug his toes into the ground.

"Why do you suddenly want to see these things?"

"No, I'm just bored."

Yin Xing blushed as Xuan Yizheng lifted his hand and led her out of the secret room. She was too embarrassed to look at her.

After all, those things are nothing but private photos, and Yin Xing discovered that Xuan Yizhen has been updating them all the time, which is really dedicated!

Xuan Yizhen's eyes fell on Yin Xing's shy cheek. He raised his hand and touched it. Only then did he feel relieved and murmured, "It seems that leaving you alone is not safe."

"This was just an accident. It won't happen again in the future." Yin Xing was so ashamed that he explained in a whisper.

"If you like to see them, I will make those paintings into an album." Xuan Yizheng changed his words unskillfully.

When Yin Xing heard this, he thought, isn't that the legendary pornographic book?!

But Xuan Yizheng acted too serious, as if it was the most ordinary thing.

As the two of them were talking, they sat down on the couch by the window. Yin Xing felt more and more ashamed the more he thought about it, so he immediately changed the subject and said, "Yizhen, why are your hands a little cold?"

Xuan Yizhen still held Yin Xing's hand and replied calmly, "It's nothing. I just thought you were attacked and was a little scared."

"I'm sorry." Yin Xing held Xuan Yizheng's hand to warm it up, only to find that her face didn't look very good either.

"Don't worry, I'm fine." Xuan Yizheng leaned slightly closer to Yin Xing and snuggled up to her quietly.

After the words fell silent, Yin Xing raised his hands and embraced Xuan Yizheng's tense body. Gradually, he noticed her relaxing. Thinking of the many court affairs mentioned by the female official, he felt pity for her.

Being a dedicated emperor is quite tiring.

Xuan Yizheng lowered his eyes and rested his head on Yin Xing's not-so-broad shoulder, trying to calm his uncontrollable heartbeat and the coldness that spread throughout his body.

The moment he couldn't find Yin Xing, Xuan Yizheng immediately felt a bone-chilling cold as if he was almost frozen.

In the past, when Xuan Yizheng was sick, he often had this feeling.

But now Xuan Yizheng hasn't experienced such a frightening feeling for a long time.

Thinking of this, Xuan Yizheng was even more reluctant to let Yin Xing leave his sight.

So on the next morning, while all the officials were shocked, the empress brought Queen Yin into the hall to hear the evidence.

The female official Chunli was very calm about this. If Queen Yin had not felt it was inappropriate and chose to sit at a separate table, the Lord might have even given her half of the throne.

Yin Xing, who was attending the morning court for the first time, sat up straight and did not dare to relax for a moment.

However, when Yin Xing found that no officials dared to look at him, he moved his position slightly, and his butt hurt a little.

Xuan Yizheng didn't show any abnormality at all. He continued to listen to the music as usual, and even paid attention to Yin Xing's nervous movements.

The hearing of Queen Yin soon aroused heated discussion among the people in the capital.

"I thought it was a unique story for a female emperor to marry a wife, but I didn't expect that Empress Yin would even be present at the hearing."

"I think Queen Yin must be a foxy woman who can confuse people's minds, otherwise how could she cause such a ridiculous thing."

Jiang Yun followed Liu Ci, carrying a lot of bags. He glanced at the tea drinkers and said teasingly, "I never thought that a dull-witted wife slave would be rumored to be a vixen. Yin Xing has really made it."

Liu Ci carefully selected the cloth, intending to make some new summer clothes for Jiang Yun and the little girl before summer came. She then measured the lengths and said helplessly, "If you could be as docile and obedient as Miss Yin, I'd have less worries."

"Aci, why are your elbows bent outward?"

"Have you forgotten that you burned a hole in your clothes while playing with fireworks and you hid it?"

After these words were spoken, Jiang Yun fell silent. He let Liu Ci use the cloth to measure his height and did not dare to say anything back.

The shop owner looked at the two of them and said enviously, "You two sisters have such a good relationship."

Liu Ci smiled and didn't explain. Perhaps it was because the two of them had been together for too long, so they were often misunderstood.

Jiang Yun paid the money, picked up the cloth, and said with a smile: "We are not sisters, she is my wife."

After saying that, Jiang Yun took Liu Ci out of the shop, leaving the shopkeeper in shock.

The news of the current empress marrying a wife and establishing a queen has caused a lot of uproar, and everyone in the capital knows about it.

After a while, the shopkeeper suddenly understood and found it quite reasonable. After all, ordinary sisters of their age would have already married and had children.

But they come together to buy things every year. Miss Liu is a famous doctor with beautiful appearance and superb medical skills. Logically, she should have no men who want to marry her.

In the bustling street, Liu Ci looked at Jiang Yun with a hot face, really admiring her fearless courage.

Jiang Yun tilted his head to meet Liu Ci's gaze and said nervously, "Would you dislike me telling you about our relationship like that?"

"No." Liu Ci held Jiang Yun's hand and answered firmly.

If Liu Ci had cared about the public's opinion at all, he would not have been with Jiang Yun in the first place.

"That's good. Let's spend our wedding night together when we get back." Jiang Yun couldn't help teasing as he got closer.

As expected, Liu Ci's ears turned red, and the doctor who was always well-organized in the past also showed a hint of shyness.

Jiang Yun's heart beat faster as he looked at the familiar face in front of him. It was a pity that it was not appropriate to be intimate with her in public, otherwise he really wanted to kiss her hard!

The sky was filled with brilliant rosy clouds, and the warm spring breeze gradually brought some warmth. When the imperial examination results were announced, they attracted the attention of many people, and the rumors shifted the topic.

This year's imperial examination has two rankings based on gender, and the top three essays are posted in each list to demonstrate talent and prevent the incident of the old master Gongyang from happening again.

Among them, the article that topped the female written test was talked about a lot and even widely circulated.

As the spring day was warm and new signs were spreading, Yin Xing didn't know much about current affairs in the majestic palace, but he understood that Xuan Yizhen rarely praised others.

However, Yin Xing always felt that the woman who won the crown always kept her eyes on Xuan Yizheng's cheek, which seemed a little strange.

After all, enthroning Xuan Yizhen as queen is equivalent to revealing her sexual orientation, which most women would avoid, unless the top scorer in the imperial examination is extraordinary!
