The little lady of Xuanmen has become popular in the sixth palace by fortune-telling

Chapter 97 Yuan Pa
Xu Anan had no choice but to take off his outer clothes and get into bed in his pajamas. He bypassed Cheng Huai and slept in the back, far away from him.

He reached out and pulled down the matte white bed curtain, blocking out the faint orange light in the hall, and the space on the bed suddenly became much narrower.

Cheng Huai also lay down, covered with quilt, folded his hands on his abdomen, and closed his eyes.

Xu Anan didn't dare to grab the quilt and only covered herself a little. She quietly opened her eyes and saw that he had fallen asleep.

She breathed a sigh of relief instantly, and her tense nerves relaxed. The place where the air leaked was a little cold. She moved a little closer to Cheng Huaiye, making sure that the quilt covered her tightly, and then she closed her eyes comfortably. Go to sleep.

Xu Anan had a dream. She dreamed that she was holding a very warm pillow, but the pillow pushed her away every time. How could she let it go? Finally, she hugged the pillow firmly with her hands and feet, and then the pillow He gave up the struggle and let her hug him.

At Yin Shi, Cheng Huai also got up.

He looked at Yuan Pa, found a knife, cut his finger and dripped blood on it.

After it was completely dry, he called Yu Guang in to help him get dressed: "Send Yuan Pa to the minister's room."

Covered by the bed curtain, Eunuch Yu did not see Xu Anan, but the blood-stained Yuanpa was enough to surprise him.

It was still dark outside, so Eunuch Yu asked, "Your Majesty, would you like to rest for a while? It's still early in the day."

Still sleeping?Can he sleep?
After Xu Anan fell asleep, he was not honest at all, so he leaned next to him. He was very sensitive to other people's contact, so how could he sleep.

He didn't sleep well all night at her place. After getting dressed, Cheng Huai returned to his Weiyang Palace.

The sky was slightly bright, and as soon as Xu Anan stretched out his hand, the temperature around him had already turned cold.

She opened her eyes in confusion. Did Cheng Huai leave before dawn?

Fu Ling walked in and opened the bed curtain: "Madam, I will help you change your clothes. Madam Hou and the third lady are here."

Xu Anan was still a little confused, but then she remembered that today was the chrysanthemum appreciation banquet hosted by Queen Mother Cen.

The post was posted by Queen Mother Cen yesterday. Because of Queen Mother’s invitation, many ladies entered the palace at dawn.

What makes Xu Anan strange is why Chen brought Xu Yingxiu to her place.

"Your Majesty, the entire harem knows that you slept last night. Yuan Pa has been handed over to the Jingsi Room. As long as you give birth to your eldest son first, your status will be unshakable. Maybe the emperor will be grateful to make you a noble concubine."

Xu Anan was ashamed. They slept under blankets last night. As for the Yuanpa, it was probably Cheng Huai who made it. Xu Anan could only pretend to be dead and acquiesce, but he couldn't ruin it.

She laughed: "I'm too young to have children."

Fu Ling looked at her with disapproval: "If you turn over this year, you will be seventeen, and you can have children when you are not young enough!"

Xu Anan continued to retort: ​​"That's still early, my birthday is in July!"

Come on, she was speechless.

After Xu Anan put it on, Mrs. Chen was already sitting on a chair in the hall when she came out.

Beside her was Xu Yingxiu, who was elegantly dressed in green. She lowered her head and her hands were intertwined unconsciously. It could be seen that she was extremely flustered and uneasy in her heart.

Mrs. Chen stood up and said, "My wife has met Concubine Ming."

Xu Anan looked at her and said, "What are you doing here?"

Mrs. Chen straightened up, smiled at her and said, "The Marquis is thinking about you, so he sent his wife to visit you in the harem. By the way, the Forsythia Society was sent back to the Marquis' Mansion yesterday, and the Marquis already knows about it."

Xu An'an raised her eyebrows slightly: "Forsythia and the following offenses made me angry. I didn't beat her to death because I wanted to spare her life because of my old feelings. I can't bear such a slave."

Mrs. Chen still smiled faintly, with a gentle expression: "The Marquis thinks so too. You are his eldest daughter, so he naturally cares about you. No, because he knows that my wife is going to enter the palace today, and he I specially sent my wife to bring it here."

Mrs. Chen said calmly to the door of the palace: "Come in."

A beautiful woman who looked to be 16 years old walked in. She was full of blessings and said: "Slave Shelley has met Ming Fei." Mrs. Chen nodded with satisfaction: "Your father specially selected a first-class maid for you. I promise that she will not I'll do something wrong again and make you angry." She said to Shelley: "I haven't met your new master yet, and he won't be able to take good care of you."

Shelley immediately knelt down and said, "I will serve you with all my heart, my dear concubine Ming."

Very good, she just packed up the forsythia and sent it back to the Hou Mansion. Xu Kangwen gave her another one, and she also directly acted as the first-class palace maid next to her.

Xu Anan's eyes were dark, and she smiled softly at the end: "Then I'm welcome, I just happen to be short of a handy maid."

Mrs. Chen nodded: "Then I will go to the Queen Mother first."

Mrs. Chen took Xu Yingxiu away.

"Get up."

Shelley then stood up, and Xu Anan asked coldly: "What exactly does he want to do?"

Shelley was horrified: "My dear, this slave is really sent by the Marquis to serve you. I will definitely help you fight for favor and gain His Majesty's favor."

Serve?
Might as well be called another surveillance.

Xu Anan knew that if she used another excuse to deal with Shelley, Xu Kangwen would continue to send maids into the palace, because these slaves were worthless in his eyes.

When Xu Anan destroyed one, he would give it away until she became submissive.

"Fu Ling, go teach her the rules."

Poria nodded and took Shelley down.

Royal Garden

Even in late autumn, there are still hundreds of flowers blooming here. The most surprising thing is the precious chrysanthemums of various colors. At the top of the exhibition stand is the most colorful ten-foot-long curtain, and below are the green chrysanthemums known as "green peonies".

The precious varieties below are arranged in order. These are the treasures raised by Queen Mother Cen.

Xu Anan didn't want to come at all. Her choice of concubine for Cheng Huai had nothing to do with them, who were already in the palace, but Empress Dowager Cen said that she also wanted them to be in charge.

Those who are qualified to participate in this chrysanthemum appreciation banquet must be concubines from the third rank or above.

And Xu Anan is among them.

Accompanying them were Yu Ruoxi, Shen Sisi and Lan Jieyu.

A few people met at the entrance and simply left together.

Yu Ruoxi said in a cold voice: "Congratulations, sister Ming Fei, for becoming the first person to eat crabs."

Xu Anan: "..."

Is it really okay to compare Cheng Huai to a crab?

She tugged at the corners of her lips and smiled awkwardly: "It's just fine."

Yu Ruoxi remained calm and cold: "This is unique in the harem, but you have to be careful about the queen, and don't be deceived by her gentle and virtuous appearance."

"She is not as grand as she appears."

Yu Ruoxi felt that no one in the harem could pretend like Meng Jiayi. She was so jealous that she still had to pretend to be virtuous and generous.

Xu Anan was silent, she had a headache: "The queen and I have no conflict of interest..."

"Sometimes it's not just profit that makes people kill." Yu Ruoxi turned her eyes and looked at the gorgeous flower garden: "But, some people's hearts are inherently dark."
