Chapter 34
From the gloomy face just now to the good mood now, the rapid transformation of Nangong Xiaoran made Yuan Xiuyue slightly speechless!
Do nothing, be lazy!
In fact, this kind of King Ning is the Xiao Ran she knew well in the past!
Staring at the seemingly gloating smile on his face, several black lines gradually appeared on Yuan Xiuyue's forehead, only suddenly, her heart suddenly became clear, she narrowed her eyes slightly, and said to Nangong Xiaoran with a resentful expression: " Those who are turbid are themselves turbid, and those who are clear are themselves clear! If the prince goes, he will only make things darker and darker!"

"That……"

His eyes moved slightly, Nangong Xiaoran met her gaze, and asked softly: "Your Majesty, I don't need to explain to the Emperor..."

"There is nothing between you and me. What is the prince going to explain to the emperor?" With a faint smile, Yuan Xiuyue picked up the half-cold soup bowl on the table, and Yuan Xiuyue took a sip. The coolness made her frown slightly.

It is said that accompanying the king is like accompanying the tiger!
Not everyone can fathom the emperor's thoughts.

Therefore, in the current situation, what she can do is not to waste her thoughts on figuring out the holy will.

Anyway, after tomorrow, she will definitely make him furious...

Looking at Yuan Xiuyue quietly, the smile on Nangong Xiaoran's face restrained a little, and he sighed solemnly: "Speaking carefully, there is still some relationship between your empress and this king!"

When Yuan Xiuyue heard the words, a brilliance flashed in her eyes, and she frowned and looked at Nangong Xiaoran.

Pointing to the place where Nangong Haoling was standing just now, Nangong Xiaoran laughed at himself, and said embarrassingly: "The emperor's fear of me is known to all the world!"

Understanding what he meant, Yuan Xiuyue sighed!
He was right, she and he, Nangong Haoling didn't want to see any of them!
"Your majesty is jealous of my lord. My lord is right, but..." Slowly curling up her red lips, the corners of Yuan Xiuyue's mouth showed a hint of sarcasm: "I am not unfavorable to my lord." , it simply disgusted him!"

Hearing her words, the smile on Nangong Xiaoran's face froze slightly!
Focusing on the self-deprecating smile on Yuan Xiuyue's mouth, his heart couldn't help but move.Turning his head slightly, looking at the bright moonlight outside the window, he lightly pursed his lips, and saluted Yuan Xiuyue respectfully: "It's getting late, I...resign!"

I thought, it will be late when you come!

Yuan Xiuyue slightly raised her hand, intending to let him go, but when she met his warm gaze, she couldn't help but feel a slight shock in her heart!
For a moment, the scenes of the past together flashed before her eyes, and in a flash, she was full of thoughts, and she finally sighed softly: "Since the prince has a deep affection for my sister, I will say something more."

Nangong Xiaoran looked up at her: "What do you want to say?"

With a gentle smile, she turned around slowly, Yuan Xiuyue turned her back to him, and said softly: "If you want to ask the queen mother to give you a marriage, today is not the right day. Two days later, in the Funing Palace, although you will not invite important officials from the court, the emperor's grandson There will be no one without nobles!"

"Thank you for reminding me, ma'am!"

There was a strange look in his eyes, Nangong Xiaoran nodded slightly, turned and left the flower hall.

Watching Nangong Xiao Ran leave, looking at Yuan Xiuyue's back, Ting Lan knelt down with a pale complexion: "This servant is not thinking carefully, and the emperor misunderstood your empress, please forgive me!"

"You girl, when did you know what happened to the holy will? Did you hear the emperor say that he misunderstood?" Turning around, she glanced at Ting Lan with a smile, not blaming her, Yuan Xiuyue followed suit go outside.

"The servant sees the empress!"

As soon as she got out of the flower hall, Yuan Xiuyue's heart skipped a beat when she saw the people standing outside the hall with their heads bowed respectfully!

The person standing outside the flower hall was Ji Heng, the head of the palace!

He is someone who never leaves the emperor's side, but at this moment when Nangong Haoling has been away for a long time, he is still staying in Fengluan Palace.

Thinking of what she said to Nangong Xiaoran in the hall just now, Yuan Xiuyue's heart trembled slightly, and she glanced coldly at Lin Sheng, who was standing aside with lowered brows and pleasing eyes, a sneer suddenly crossed the corner of her mouth: "Boss Ji never leaves the emperor Left and right, why did you come here alone today?"

Since Nangong Haoling came and left without making a fuss, she could only do as he wanted, pretending that he had never been here before.

Seeing the sneer on Yuan Xiuyue's face, Ji Heng lowered his head and said with a smile: "Earlier, the emperor went back and said that the ginger tea made by the empress tasted a little bit bad, so the slave wanted to come here and ask for a prescription..."

"Oh……"

With a long soft sound, Yuan Xiuyue understood, turned to Ting Lan and said, "Go and get the ginger tea recipe prepared today."

"Yes!"

Slightly nodding, Ting Lan turned around and went back to the flower hall.

Looking at Ji Heng again, Yuan Xiuyue asked calmly, "Who did Manager Ji see just now?"

"Returning to your mother, the servant has just arrived, and no one has seen it before." Shaking his head lightly, Ji Heng narrowed his eyes slightly, and smiled back with lowered eyebrows.

Yuan Xiuyue was startled, but soon felt relieved in her heart!
Secretly said that Ji Heng is a smart person, she took the prescription that Ting Lan had brought, and handed it to Ji Heng: "The tea inside here is based on the taste I like. You can decide what kind of tea the emperor likes." To change it, remember to boil the water for half a minute on low heat and then warm it on the stove.”

"The slave has written it down!"

Respectfully spread his hands, and just after taking the ginger tea, Ji Heng said lightly: "Your servant will leave!"

Staring quietly at Ji Heng's leaving back, Yuan Xiuyue's face turned slightly cold.

Seeing this, Ting Lan turned around with an ugly face and reprimanded Lin Sheng: "Someone entered Fengluan Palace but you kept it secret and didn't report it. Don't you want your head?"

Lin Sheng trembled when he heard the words, and knelt on the ground with a thud: "Your Majesty, please forgive me! It's not that I'm a slave who doesn't report you, it's that Director Ji is in charge of him..."

"All right!"

Faintly speaking, Yuan Xiuyue glanced at Lin Sheng.

She never got angry, and didn't say any words of blame. She sighed softly, and walked towards her bedroom in a whirl.

"My lady..."

Immediately following Yuan Xiuyue into the bedroom, Ting Lan's expression was extremely anxious: "Boss Ji must have listened to what the empress said to the prince just now, if those words reach the emperor's ears..."

Thinking of Nangong Haoling's furious appearance, Ting Lan couldn't help shivering.

The consequences of this matter will definitely be serious!
"As a slave, there is nothing wrong with being loyal to your master!" Taking off the pearl hairpin on the bun, she sat on the phoenix couch with a calm face, Yuan Xiuyue took off her phoenix robe, kicked off her brocade shoes, and lay down lazily.

Nangong Xiaoran said, Nangong Haoling's face stinks!

She could imagine how ugly his face would be if Ji Heng told Nangong Haoling what she had said to Nangong Xiaoran!

But what's the matter? !

Anyway, things are messed up, and she has already made a decision in her heart, even if the storm is about to come, she just needs to stay the same to cope with all changes!

That's it!
With a worried look on her face, Ting Lan covered the brocade quilt for Yuan Xiuyue, and muttered into her clear eyes: "Your Majesty is right, as a slave, there is nothing wrong with being loyal to your master! But Lin Sheng and the others..."

"After the day after tomorrow, I'm not sure how far I will fall, but whoever follows me will have a good home? Let's just let this matter go!" He raised his hand and loosened the bun on his head. , Ren Qingsi fluttered away, Yuan Xiuyue sighed softly: "Since entering the palace, I have to go to the Queen Mother's Palace early every day to pay my respects. Tomorrow Fengluan Palace will thank you for a day, and you will come to the Queen Mother's Palace to tell me about my illness and let me sleep. Until I wake up naturally..."

People will get tired sometimes.

She persisted for two years and really wanted to take a break.

"Your Majesty...this is against the rules..."

Ting Lan's heart trembled, thinking of the letter she wrote to Yuan Wende, she opened her lips lightly to persuade Yuan Xiuyue, but she turned around and fell asleep wrapped in brocade quilt...

Two years passed like a white horse.

In the imperial palace, Yuan Xiuyue adhered to the conduct that a queen should have, and handled everything in a safe and proper manner. Naturally, it was above the empress dowager's etiquette, and there was never a single negligence!
However, on the seventh day of November, Ting Lan went to Fushou Palace to report to Aunt Bi Qiu early in the morning, saying that the emperor's phoenix body was ill, and Fengluan Palace closed its doors to thank guests.

When the sun was high, the sun was shining from the window lattice, and Yuan Xiuyue finally woke up in the clear sky.

Sleepy-eyed, confused.

Through the hanging curtain in front of the couch, staring at the light smoke rising from the gilded cauldron, she slightly raised the corners of her mouth, and sighed incomparably satisfied!
"Miss?"

Hearing the sound, Ting Lan hastily stepped forward to close the curtain, and met Yuan Xiuyue's lazy pupils, she smiled a little forcedly: "You are awake!"

Yuan Xiuyue was stunned for a moment, and a satisfied smile appeared on her face: "Eat enough, sleep well, it really is the two things in life!"

"Your Majesty has slept well, and this servant will soon be overwhelmed." Seeing Yuan Xiuyue's satisfied face, Ting Lan flattened her lips helplessly: "Since this morning, my servant and maid have reported to the Empress Dowager's palace for illness, Aunt Biqiu The empress dowager Yizhi brought the imperial physician over to see the doctor with the empress!"

When Ting Lan said this, Yuan Xiuyue didn't think too much about it.

Suing illness is just a cover for her snooze, if Aunt Biqiu knows the truth, then the Queen Mother will know the truth, and the consequences can be imagined!

"What happened later?" Yuan Xiuyue raised her eyebrows and looked at Ting Lan as she sat up slowly, with black silk hanging down her shoulders like a waterfall.

"Later, Concubine Xian came and relieved the servants."

Nodding clear, Yuan Xiuyue frowned at Ting Lan and said, "Didn't I say that? Today, Fengluan Palace closed its doors to thank guests. You only blocked Aunt Biqiu with your words. She won't force her way in."

"Aunt Biqiu is a celebrity around the Queen Mother..."

With a grunt, Ting Lan smacked her lips and looked up at Yuan Xiuyue when she saw that Yuan Xiuyue had landed on the ground with bare feet. She will always stand by the empress's side."

"It's my blessing to be able to meet Princess Xian!" An indisputable smile gradually appeared on the corner of her mouth, Yuan Xiuyue stroked her hungry belly, and said to Ting Lan: "I'm hungry, let's prepare the meal, I'm done eating , I need to sleep a little longer!"

"My lady..."

Ting Lan's handsome face was instantly tangled.

"You don't have to worry about anything, I have a sense of proportion in my heart." Faintly, she looked back at Ting Lan and smiled, Yuan Xiuyue said: "There will be a banquet in Fushou Palace tomorrow, so send Lin Sheng to watch over and let him remember that even though it is with Bengong Report the situation at the birthday banquet."

Hearing this, Ting Lan frowned: "Your Majesty won't go?"

"Of course I'm going!"

Yuan Xiuyue pursed her lips, her eyebrows and eyes curved into a smile: "The emperor is still waiting for my palace to announce the imperial decree to make my sister a concubine in front of everyone. Is there any reason for me not to go?"

Tomorrow, her appearance must be the highlight of the birthday banquet. Naturally, she will not be able to make her grand appearance until after Nangong Xiaoran proposes marriage to the Empress Dowager!

……

On the eighth day of November, the birthday of the virtuous king, a banquet was held in Funing Palace.

When the hour was not up, Yuan Xiuyue got up early.

After cleansing her face, she never combed her clothes like before. She just sat quietly in front of the dressing table, looking calmly at herself in the mirror with no makeup and white hair.

"Miss!"

Brushing Yuan Xiuyue's hair lightly, Ting Lan reported, "Just now Lin Sheng sent someone to report that the eldest lady has already entered the palace."

"Sister is the protagonist, so naturally I have to come here earlier!" Stroking her eyebrows lightly, she stood up slowly, Yuan Xiuyue went to the side and sat down lazily on the imperial concubine's couch: "Let's take a rest first, and then go to Funing Palace later. "
