Li Palace's elegance shocked the world: the goddess is blessed

Chapter 31
Time flies, and the years are quiet.

In the blink of an eye, two years passed like quicksand at the fingertips, and Yuan Xiuyue had entered the palace for the last two years.

Two years ago, since she and Nangong Haoling reached a consensus, the two of them have always respected each other in front of the Queen Mother.Under her leadership, it really fulfilled what she said to Nangong Haoling at the beginning, in the six palaces, although there are occasional concubines competing for favor, it is considered calm and peaceful!
Autumn goes to winter, and it is the cold time of the year again.

In Fengluan Palace, Yuan Xiuyue's favorite scent of lavender was on the main hall, and the cigarette smoke curled up from the crane tripod, swirling around, and Xuanyuantang, who was playing chess with her, frowned slightly, and couldn't help covering her mouth and nose and said: "This Although the fragrance is good, it is a bit melancholic after all, the empress has been in the palace for two years, and this hall has always smelled like this, so it should be freshened with other spices."

Yuan Xiuyue, who was sitting across the table from her, had her forehead pulled up and her hair tied up in a high bun, elegant and dignified, without losing the majesty of a queen.

"Is the concubine feeling tired?" Looking up, she smiled at Xuanyuantang, and she put down the white words in her hand: "The fragrance of lavender is long and quiet, I think it's not bad."

Everyone knows that Concubine Xian is proficient in medicine, and although she is well versed in medicine, she is keen on planting medicinal herbs. With such kindness, in the past two years, Xuanyuantang has become a frequent visitor to the Central Palace, and she is even more intimate with her. It is a handkerchief acquaintance who talks about everything.

"No matter how good things are, you should be tired of smelling them for two years!" Seeing Yuan Xiuyue's indifferent attitude, Xuanyuan Tang sighed softly, "I heard that Concubine Yan is racking her brains to learn how to please the emperor. Recently, she likes to use incense very much... the incense she uses is the emperor's favorite."

After the words fell, she fell down again, raising her eyes to stare at Yuan Xiuyue closely, trying to see some emotional changes from her expression.

After two years in the palace, Yuan Xiuyue handled the affairs of the harem in an orderly manner, which deeply favored the Empress Dowager Zhong, but only she, a discerning person, could see it clearly. Although the empress respected the emperor as a guest on the surface, she never invited favors.

Just like, her palace has always been burning with the scent of lavender, and what Nangong Haoling dislikes the most is this smell.

"The spices prepared by Concubine Yan, I have already sent people to check, and I have no worries about the dragon body!" Raising her head slightly, looking at Xuanyuan Tang faintly, Yuan Xiuyue bent her lips and smiled: "What do you mean, I am Gong understands, but my appearance is limited, so I really can't catch the eyes of the emperor. Since the day I entered the palace, I have known what it's like to give up on a beauty before she gets old. Today's day is exactly what I want As for Concubine Yan, she has adjusted the spices today, and Concubine Han and Meiren Liu may think of other ways to please the Emperor tomorrow... The most important thing is, as long as the Emperor likes it!"

"Since that's the case..."

Lifting his plain hand lightly, he took out a black piece from the chess jar, Xuanyuan Tang smiled harmlessly: "How about the empress's empress allowing Miss Yuan to enter the palace?"

Hearing this, Yuan Xiuyue's smile froze slightly!
A hint of wisdom flashed in Xuanyuantang's eyes, Xuanyuan Tang looked at Yuan Xiuyue with a smile: "I heard that she has never been married, and the emperor also favors her very much, what do you think of my proposal?"

"This matter has been answered two years ago. Why did the princess bring up the old matter again today?" Yuan Xiuyue slightly raised her brows, and asked a little amusedly: "Did you forget that I was with you before entering the palace?" Did you make a condition?"

From Yuan Xiuyue's expression, one can tell that her heart is still the same as before, Xuanyuan Tang put the chess piece on the chessboard, smiled slightly and said: "I promised my empress, I will remember clearly, but..."

"Just what?"

Looking down at the seemingly evenly divided chess game, Yuan Xiuyue's expression gradually became dull.

Seeing Yuan Xiuyue's expression, Xuanyuan Tang said with a smile: "After I returned to the mansion yesterday, Miss Yuan visited the palace in person."

Hearing Xuanyuantang's words, Yuan Xiuyue's expression remained unchanged, but her eyes dimmed slightly.

She doesn't need to think about it, she knows why Yuan Mingyue came to Prince Xian's mansion!
Her elder sister, what she always misses, is the harem, the emperor, the imperial favor that every woman in the world dreams of!Even before she entered the palace, she had mentioned the conditions with Princess Xian not to allow her to enter the palace, but how could she forget her hysterical appearance afterwards? !

With a slight thought, Yuan Xiuyue looked at Xuanyuantang: "Did the princess agree to her request?"

Xuanyuantang shook his head lightly, and said: "I promised the Queen's conditions, so I remember clearly, but she must have other ways out besides me."

Women, if they make up their minds to get something, they will be desperate, even if the road ahead is thorny, Yuan Mingyue is like this!Last night, after she rejected Yuan Mingyue's request to enter the palace, Yuan Mingyue did not show any signs of discouragement.It can be seen from this that before she arrived at Prince Xian's mansion, she had expected such a result.

And since she can react like this, it means that she must still have a backhand.

And this backhand can only be one person, that is...

Eyes darkened slightly, Yuan Xiuyue stretched out her hand to scramble the chess pieces on the chessboard: "The princess refers to the emperor?!"

There are only a handful of people who can get Yuan Mingyue into the palace!
Apart from Xuanyuantang, there is only that person...

"Yes!"

Xuanyuantang nodded slightly: "As far as I know, in the past two years, Miss Yuan and the emperor have met several times in Concubine Han's Palace."

"The concubine was a little more polite. They obviously had a private meeting in Concubine Han's palace..." With a laugh, Yuan Xiuyue looked at Xuanyuantang's gentle profile.

"You know about this?"

With a look of surprise on his face, Xuanyuan Tang frowned slightly.

"Just like what the princess said, Concubine Yan mixes spices to win favor in front of the imperial court. Concubine Han wins her sister to have a private meeting with the emperor in the palace. It's nothing more than a way to use her to compete with the emperor!" The tone was full of strong emotions. With a strong sense of helplessness, Yuan Xiuyue's complexion became much uglier: "I am the master of the harem, as long as it is about the harem, I know everything about it."

With a chuckle, Xuanyuantang sighed: "Your Majesty is so reserved, she knew about this early in the morning, but she never said anything about it!"

"The queen's sister, and the emperor's private meeting in the palace, in the eyes of the princess, is this honorable?" Yuan Xiuyue's eyes darkened slightly at Xuanyuantang with a wry smile, and her words were full of helplessness: "If it's just a private meeting, this Gong Da can't see it, and can only turn a blind eye!"

After all, she can't influence Nangong Haoling's thoughts!

"That……"

Looking at Yuan Xiuyue with some hesitation, Xuanyuantang tentatively asked: "If the emperor personally proposes to accept her as a concubine, what will the empress do?"

"What the princess said is not what if, but something that will definitely happen in the near future?!" Yuan Xiuyue's lips curled up slightly, and she looked around at the resplendent palace hall. After a moment of silence, she said firmly: "In In this harem, there can only be one daughter of the Yuan family, without her, there would be no me!"

Hearing Yuan Xiuyue's words, Xuanyuantang's heart was shaken, and his face suddenly became serious.

She did not expect that after two years, Yuan Xiuyue's attitude was still so firm when it came to whether Yuan Mingyue would enter the palace or not!

Turning her eyes slightly, Yuan Xiuyue smiled faintly at Xuanyuantang.

Standing up with a calm complexion, she looked down at the chessboard that had been disrupted by herself, and sighed softly: "I'm tired, today's chess is all."

"This chess game is ruined, so naturally I can't play it anymore." Looking down at the scattered chess pieces on the chess board, he stroked them lightly with his slender fingers, Xuanyuan Tang smiled wryly: "It's a pity that a good game of chess is so plain Let the empress be ruined."

Looking up at her expression of pity, Yuan Xiuyue smiled noncommittally.

Chess skill lies only in meditation.

When playing chess today, she was in a state of uncertainty, how could this game of chess be a good one!
"Yesterday, the dragon mother-in-law sent someone to bring some medicinal herbs that have been left in the flower hall without sorting. If the princess feels bored, you can go there to have a look first, and I will go to take a rest first." The smile on the corner of the mouth has never been put away. With a deep sigh in her heart, Yuan Xiuyue turned around and wanted to leave.

"Your Majesty!" Calling out Yuan Xiuyue's footsteps, Xuanyuantang frowned slightly, and stood up, "I have something that I have endured for a long time, and I have always wanted to ask your Majesty for clarification!"

"The princess has always acted decisively. When did she become such a mother-in-law?" Looking back at Xuanyuantang, Yuan Xiuyue sat down slowly again, and reached out to take the soothing tea from Ting Lan. She lifted the lid of the tea and gently blew on the tea noodles : "If you want to ask anything, just ask directly."

Staring at Yuan Xiuyue's gentle side face, Xuanyuan Tang sat back in his seat.

Picking up the teacup and taking a sip, she asked intently: "Your Majesty is smart, you should know that it is not uncommon for sisters to enter the palace at the same time. For a family, especially a family like the Marquis of Anguo, if the Emperor lets your Majesty and Your Majesty It is reasonable for my sister to enter the palace at the same time, why must the empress be so stubborn?"

"Stubborn? Maybe!" Yuan Xiuyue had expected her to ask such a question, Yuan Xiuyue smiled, and suddenly asked Xuanyuantang: "Princess, do you know who is the closest to me in the An Guohou Mansion?"

Xuanyuantang hesitated a little, then frowned and replied: "It should be your mother's father or mother."

"Princess is wrong!" There was a faint smile on the corner of her lips, Yuan Xiuyue smiled and shook her head and said: "Perhaps for others, the closest person is father and mother, but for me, Apart from giving birth to Ben Gong, they have nothing else to do."

Hearing this, Xuanyuantang's complexion changed slightly!

"It's Ben Gong's brother!"

In Jian Shuiqiu's eyes, there was a faint wave of light, and Yuan Xiuyue raised her eyes slightly, and looked into Xuanyuan Tang's slightly surprised pupils.The smile on the corner of her mouth gradually changed, and she murmured shyly: "From the beginning of Bengong's records, father and mother only have elder sister in their eyes, and the only one who is with Bengong is elder brother..."

Ten years ago, she was just a child, and her parents sent her outside the pass.

She will never forget the decisive back when her parents sent her out of Beijing, and she will always remember the elder brother who hugged herself tightly in the yellow sand that day... They are all her relatives, but It gave her a completely different feeling.

Therefore, from childhood to adulthood, the closest person to her is not her parents, but her elder brother!

Yuan Xiuyue's eyes could not hide the sadness. Seeing her like this, Xuanyuantang's heart twitched slightly, and she gently parted her lips: "Because of this, is it because of this that the empress is alienated from my sister?"

They are both daughters, one is like a jewel in the palm of their hands, and the other is indifferent, anyone would think that Yuan Xiuyue should have resentment towards Yuan Mingyue.

"I'm not that narrow-minded!" Shaking her head with a chuckle, Yuan Xiuyue held the hand of the teacup and shook it gently: "No matter how bad my parents are to me, they are still my parents, and so is my sister. The reason why I insist on not The reason why she was allowed to enter the palace was because when I returned to the capital, my elder brother told me that no matter who I admire in the future and who I marry, I must remember that sisters must never serve a husband together!"
