Chapter 268 Called into the Palace
After Yang Juan and his wife left, Cui Yuexi returned to Haitang Pavilion. Thinking that the Mid-Autumn Festival was coming soon, she suddenly became a little worried. According to Li Jing's temper, if the emperor ransacked his house, he would inevitably rebel. to an unmanageable point.

She has changed the fate of the Liu family. She wonders if she can change the conflict between the emperor and Li Jing.

The so-called emperor's heart is unpredictable, how can she guess the emperor's mind, maybe even the concubine Xian who has lived with him for decades can't see through it.

When Cui Yuexi was troubled, the butler hurried over and said that there was news from the palace that the concubine Xian had invited her into the palace.

Cui Yuexi got up hastily and asked Huanyue and Jiaojiao to change her clothes. After washing and dressing, she followed the eunuchs who were welcoming her into the palace.

Although she didn't know what Concubine Xian wanted her for, but thinking of the recent times, Concubine Xian had defended her image many times in front of everyone, and she was not so nervous.

The carriage was slowly driving towards the palace, Cui Yuexi looked at the people on the street, and thinking of the possible turmoil in the future, a gloomy look flashed in his eyes.

In the struggle for the throne, although it doesn't matter to the people who leads them, in history, the rebellion will not implicate innocent people.

While Cui Yuexi was thinking, she had already reached the gate of the palace, perhaps with Concubine Xian's special permission, she took a carriage directly to the gate of the bedroom where Concubine Xian lived.

The palace servants took Cui Yuexi directly into the inner hall, where Concubine Xian was lying sideways on the soft bed with her eyes closed.

Gong'e whispered in her ear, Concubine Xian slowly opened her eyes, her phoenix pupils opened slightly, overflowing with light and coldness, which made Cui Yuexi nervous for a moment.

Maybe she couldn't cultivate such a powerful aura in her life, even if it was just a look, it made people terrified to the extreme.

Cui Yuexi hastily dressed herself up and saluted, "My lady, I wonder why you came here for something?"

She asked calmly, Concubine Xian waved her hand to the people around her, and all the court ladies left one after another, and retreated outside the palace.

Concubine Xian looked at the closed palace door, her expression softened slightly.

"Come and sit down."

Concubine Xian said calmly, she and Li Jing already had a marriage contract, even though Concubine Xian looked down on Cui Yuexi's background at first, after such a long time of contact, Concubine Xian felt that she was like a piece of rough jade. Jewelry is unremarkable, but when you hold it in your hands, the more time passes, the more you like it.

Cui Yuexi was surprised, and then walked over to Concubine Xian and sat down cautiously.

Seeing her cautious appearance, Concubine Xian couldn't help but curl her lips with a smile.

"Why, is this concubine so scary?"

Cui Yuexi shook her head, "No, it's just that it's the first time I'm so close to the empress, and I'm a little at a loss."

Concubine Xian smiled, reached out to pick up the teapot, and wanted to pour tea for Cui Yuexi.

The latter hurriedly stood up and took the teapot.

"Your Majesty, you can't do it."

Cui Yuexi poured tea for Concubine Xian, Concubine Xian smiled satisfied and motioned her to sit down.

"There are no other people here, and there are not so many rules. You don't need to be restrained, just sit down."

After thanking Cui Yuexi, she sat down and took a sip of the tea. The things in the palace were extraordinary, the tea was full of fragrance, and the fragrance lingered on her teeth and cheeks. It was indeed a rare good tea.

"Do you know why my concubine invited you here?"

Cui Yuexi put down her teacup and shook her head slightly.

"I don't know."

Concubine Xian smiled lightly, looking at the door with erratic eyes.

"You and Jing'er are going to get married soon. During this period of time, you have shown your sharpness. I think that there must be someone who will not let you get married so smoothly. These days are not as good as if you stay in the palace. This concubine is here in the palace. The door is closed, not many people come, it is considered a clean place.”

Concubine Xian opened her mouth indifferently, she had expected that Cui Yuexi and Li Jing were going to get married soon, so many people would take advantage of this opportunity to flatter and curry favor, and it was inevitable that those who cared would take advantage of it.

Cui Yuexi didn't expect Concubine Xian to be so thoughtful, so she readily agreed.

"Then bother the empress."

At this moment, the eunuch outside the door sang, "Concubine Shu is here, Concubine Li is here."

Concubine Xian smiled lightly, "Yuexi, I will send someone to Liu Guogong's mansion to deliver a letter later, so you can live here with peace of mind. Unless someone forces the palace to rebel, otherwise, this place will always be the safest."

Concubine Xian was more considerate. Ever since the Crown Prince of Haoyue Kingdom and his party came to the Jing alone meeting, someone had targeted Cui Yuexi many times, and the Crown Prince of Haoyue Kingdom planned to leave after attending Li Jing and Cui Yuexi's wedding.

Although Concubine Xian is in the deep palace, she knows everything outside.

The absurdity of Princess Anle has become the talk of the people in Kyoto after dinner. It is inevitable that Haoyue Kingdom will play tricks at this time, and Cui Yuexi is still the safest in the palace.

"Thank you, ma'am." Cui Yuexi thanked her gratefully, Concubine Xian smiled lightly, gently took her hand and patted it.

"In my whole life, apart from being free when I was in my natal family, after entering this harem, I have no freedom anymore. Everyone feels that only in this world can they have the supreme right.

But who knows how unattainable that right is, and how much the people living here yearn for the free world outside. "

Concubine Xian sighed, she was really tired, and the days when the palace gates were closed made her suddenly look away a lot.

She used to be obsessed with the queen's position, but now, the queen has always had a name in vain, and although she is concubine, she is the only person in power in the harem.

Concubine Shu and Li Guipin had already arrived in the hall, seeing Cui Yuexi was there, their eyes lit up immediately.

"Miss Cui is here. If you know that you are here, we elders will not come here empty-handed. Sister Wang, this is your fault, and you didn't notify us in advance."

As Li Guipin said, he took off a crystal clear jade bracelet and put it in Cui Yuexi's hand.

"This bracelet is given to Yuexi as a meeting gift."

Concubine Shu didn't dare to lag behind. Although her natal family was not very rich, the emperor's reward was naturally indispensable for her position as a concubine in the harem.

Concubine Shu took out a piece of jade pendant from the conversation and handed it to Cui Yuexi, watching her eyes filled with joy.

"That brat in my family always mentions the third lady of the Duke's Mansion. You are also cousins. Although I haven't seen that girl, I know that the Liu family's children are all very good."

Concubine Shu praised Cui Yuexi and the Liu family invisibly, which also showed that the sixth prince never forgets Liu Rulu.

Cui Yuexi repeatedly declined, but Concubine Xian spoke indifferently.

"I'll keep it if I give it to you. In the future, when these brats get married, my concubine will definitely add a dowry gift."

Concubine Xian must be rich and powerful when she opened her mouth, so Cui Yuexi didn't refuse, and carefully put away the gift.

Concubine Xian saw that the four people in the hall had just got together, so she invited them to play cards.
