Now Dou Lianyi has begun to hold all the assets in his own hands, and there is a faint tendency to take control of the entire county and prince's palace.

Because her business outside the palace grew bigger and bigger, she became famous among the noble circles in the capital, and even attracted the attention of the concubines in the palace.

They all particularly appreciated the novel clothes and rouge and gouache designed by Dou Lianyi, and from time to time they would send palace servants to invite the heroine into the palace.

Only then did Lu Shangxuan realize that there seemed to be no going back to the past between him and Dou Lianyi.

It was difficult for him to meet Dou Lianyi in the prince's palace. Several times when they met outside the palace, they passed each other in a hurry, and Dou Lianyi never even gave him a chance to look at each other.

Lu Shangxuan finally got a chance that day and stopped Dou Lianyi who was in a hurry in the back garden, wanting to have a conversation with her.

"Lian Niang, do you have anything important to do today?"

"What do you want?"

Dou Lianyi did not answer him directly, but stopped and asked indifferently.

"It's nothing. It's just that I haven't seen you for many days. I was panicking, so I just wanted to say a few words to you."

Seeing Dou Lianyi's expressionless look, Lu Shangxuan felt anxious.

It was the coldest time of winter, and thick white snow was piled on the branches of the trees in the back garden. When people passed by, they would occasionally step on one or two branches that had fallen to the ground, making a slight sound.

Amid the soft noises from time to time, Dou Lianyi was silent for a while, and then responded calmly: "These words are serious. I think the relationship between us is not as close as you said. It's probably because of you." I’m not used to it, I’m not as clingy to you as I used to be.”

"No, Lian Niang," Lu Shangxuan was inexplicably panicked. He frowned and quickly explained: "You and I are a married couple, and you are the wife of my matchmaker. What do you mean by not being so close? What you said is so unfamiliar. , it’s really chilling.”

"You can think whatever you like," Dou Lianyi didn't want to waste time arguing with Lu Shangxuan. She was also in a hurry to cut the ribbon for the new store, so her tone also had a hint of impatience: "What if? If you don’t have anything else to do, I’ll leave first.”

"Lian Niang, I haven't finished speaking yet. Where are you going now?"

Lu Shangxuan subconsciously wanted to reach out and stop Dou Lianyi.

However, Dou Lianyi slipped back and avoided Lu Shangxuan's hand deftly. Then she frowned slightly and her tone became irritated: "That's enough. If you really have nothing to do, go find something for yourself." Please stop pestering me!"

As soon as he finished speaking, Lu Shangxuan's expression changed slightly. He did not expect that Lian Niang would not give him any face now, but just when he was about to have an attack, a figure suddenly hurried over from a distance.

"Young Madam, Young Madam, someone is coming from the palace!"

Taking advantage of this great opportunity, Dou Lianyi immediately said goodbye to Lu Shangxuan confidently: "I will take a step first to avoid delaying the affairs of the nobles in the palace. That would be bad."

Seeing this, Lu Shangxuan did not dare to stop him any more and could only watch Dou Lianyi turn around and leave quickly.

In this way, her figure gradually faded away, and the cold snow light reflected on her thin back, giving her an almost ethereal cold feeling.

Lu Shangxuan was in a daze for a moment, and he actually had the illusion that the woman in front of him had already changed into a different person.

By the time he came to his senses, Dou Lianyi had already disappeared.For some reason, Lu Shangxuan suddenly remembered that when Lu Lianzhi was kicked out of the house, she had cried hysterically and said that everyone had been deceived by this bitch Dou Lianyi.

He also said that Dou Lianyi is just a monster in human skin. Her temperament changed so drastically without anyone noticing, and she also slandered her and Brother Dong's innocence. When the truth comes out in the future, he, Lu Shangxuan, will definitely regret it. of.

Thinking of this, Lu Shangxuan couldn't help but unexpectedly stopped a passing maid and asked in a low voice: "Do you feel that your young lady is a different person?"

The maid was stunned for a moment, then shook her head in confusion, and replied: "I don't think so. Isn't it always like this, young lady?"

"Forget it, let's go down."

Hearing this, Lu Shangxuan raised his hands and stopped thinking about this ridiculous possibility.

Zi Buyu has strange powers and chaotic spirits. How could he, a military officer, have learned the tricks of those polite civil servants?

Over there, Bai Zhi also hurriedly ran to Dou Lianyi. Before she could catch her breath, she said anxiously: "Young Madam, someone from the East Palace is here!"

"Donggong? You mean the Queen!"

Dou Lianyi's eyes suddenly opened wide and he repeated it in disbelief.

"Yes, Madam, the visitor is waiting for you in the front hall!"

"Quick, take me there!"

Although he had entered the palace and dealt with the concubines in the harem in the past two lives, this was the first time he met the people around the empress. Dou Lianyi was afraid that he would be punished for neglecting, so he hurried towards the front hall.

The person who came was an old nun from the East Palace. Dou Lianyi felt that she looked familiar. She smiled and curtsied, and at the same time reminded her: "Madam, I have met you at the eldest princess's place before. do you remember?"

"Mother Li, it's you!"

Dou Lianyi's eyes paused for a while on a black mole between the other person's eyebrows, and then she remembered that she stepped forward with excitement and took Nanny Li's hand, saying repeatedly: "Nanny Li, how did you become this? I have lost the person who is serving the Queen! Where is the eldest princess?"

"The county madam didn't know that the Queen Mother saw that I was serving the eldest princess well, so she took me away after the eldest princess came out of the palace, so now I am serving the Queen Mother."

"It was so."

Seeing that they were old acquaintances, Dou Lianyi's uneasiness diminished a lot. After the two reminisced about old times for a while, Grandma Li talked about the Queen's decision to let Dou Lianyi enter the palace.

"Attending a banquet?"

Dou Lianyi was stunned for a moment, and asked with some confusion: "Did the Queen say the reason?"

"Mrs. County, you don't know yet. The clothes and rouge and gouache you designed these days have become popular throughout the capital, not to mention the harem. Last time, the empress was praised several times by the emperor for using your pear blossom blush. Today, when all the empresses heard that it was written by you, they all flocked to it."

Seeing that Dou Lianyi still looked a little confused, Nanny Li smiled and teased her: "I am here to congratulate Mrs. Jun first. This time, the Queen wants Mrs. Jun to officially show her face in the harem. In the future, she will You can do all your business in the palace."
