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

Chapter 35
Yuan Xiuyue's original plan was to wait until Nangong Xiaoran proposed marriage before going to Fushou Palace.

However, the so-called plan can never keep up with the changes!

Here Yuan Xiuyue was drinking tea leisurely, but saw Ting Lan enter the bedroom with a serious face.

"what happened?"

Seeing Ting Lan's face, Yuan Xiuyue lightly turned the gold-plated tea cup, stroking the exquisite embroidery on the tea cup with her fingertips.

"Miss!"

Looking at Yuan Xiuyue, Ting Lan opened her mouth, as if she had something to say, her lips were tightly pressed together, and finally she sighed, she took out a piece of paper from her sleeve pocket: "The things sent by Prince Ning's mansion just now, Please take a look, my lady!"

Staring at the stool handed over by Ting Lan, Yuan Xiuyue's thoughts changed slightly.

After being dazed for a moment, she put down the teacup, and she reached out to take the stool, but just threw it aside, without even looking at it: "Prince Ning can't enter the palace anymore?"

"Yes!"

Ting Lan nodded, and said: "The emperor delivered an edict last night that Empress Dowager An's phoenix body is unhealthy, and King Zhunning will visit Kaiguo Temple today."

"What a preemptive move!" A smile slowly appeared on her lips, and Yuan Xiuyue sighed helplessly: "In this world, the only person who can control King Ning is her biological mother, Queen Mother An. The emperor uses this trick." Excellent."

Back then, after Li Gaozong Nangong Tuo passed away, Empress Dowager An ordered her confidants to poison Empress Dowager Zhong in order to secure her position as empress dowager. Therefore, after the incident was exposed, she was kept under house arrest in the Jianguo Temple and was not allowed to contact anyone .

Therefore, when the virtuous king Nangong Haoyuan came to the throne, Nangong Xiaoran never saw his mother again.

Now that Empress Dowager An is in poor health, and the emperor has allowed him to visit, he naturally won't, and he is reluctant to miss this opportunity to meet his biological mother!

"If His Highness Prince Ning does not enter the palace, he cannot propose marriage to the Empress Dowager, empress..." Looking at Yuan Xiuyue's face, Ting Lan frowned and asked, "What should we do?"

"How to do?"

The delicate eyebrows were raised slightly, Yuan Xiuyue stood up Yingying, looking back at the phoenix robe and phoenix crown placed on the phoenix couch, she said lightly: "Changing clothes and makeup with Ben Gong!"

Because Nangong Xiaoran could not enter the palace, Yuan Xiuyue had to make changes to her original plan.

The bun is high and she still wears long makeup to show others. As before, she took Ting Lan to the Fushou Palace with the demeanor of a mother who respects the world.

In the Fushou Palace, because of the virtuous king's birthday, the red silk was hung high, and it had already been newly decorated.

Standing at the gate of the palace, he could already hear the sound of silk and bamboo inside, and the laughter continued. After the eunuch in charge sang the report, Yuan Xiuyue stepped into the main hall.

In the main hall, there are all banquets and banquets arranged on both sides. The Empress Dowager and Nangong Haolinggao are seated at the top, the Xian Wang and his wife are at the first place on the lower left, and everyone else, the concubines in the palace are all beautifully dressed, and Yuan Mingyue is also there in.

"Meet the empress!"

Seeing Yuan Xiuyue enter the hall, except for the Empress Dowager Zhong and Nangong Haoling who were on the main seat, everyone stood up and saluted.

"Excuse me!"

Looking over everyone's heads one by one, Yuan Xiuyue stepped forward to pay respects to the queen mother: "The concubine is late, please forgive me!"

"The Ai family knows that you are in poor health, please sit down!" Empress Dowager Zhong blushed, smiled at her and raised her hand, signaling her to sit beside Nangong Haoling.

"Thank you Queen Mother!"

Yuan Xiuyue's eyes sparkled, meeting Nangong Haoling's eyes for a brief moment in the air, Yuan Xiuyue smiled slightly: "The concubine sees the emperor!"

"The empress is really late today!" Nangong Haoling sneered slightly, his sharp eyes lingering on Yuan Xiuyue for a moment, he turned sideways to the Empress Dowager Zhong and said: "Mother, today is the birthday of the emperor's brother, and it just so happens that the lords of the palace Everyone is here, the queen has something important to announce!"

As soon as Nangong Haoling's words came out of his mouth, the hall was instantly silent. For a moment, everyone either looked at Yuan Xiuyue in doubt or speculatively.

Dozens of pairs of eyes looked at her in unison, making Yuan Xiuyue's delicate brows slightly raised!

Raising her eyes slightly, she met the eyes of Yuan Mingyue, who was as bright as a flower, and caught a glimpse of the triumphant look in the other's eyes, she couldn't help but secretly sighed in her heart!
"Today is our prince's birthday. Even if there is a big event, the empress should give the birthday gift first. If not, the concubine will not obey me!" Xuanyuantang on the lower left, dressed in a long makeup, was full of joy, Gu Pan Shen Fei's voice broke the silence.

Knowing that she was deliberately changing the subject to save herself, Yuan Xiuyue smiled gratefully at her, and Shi Shiran sat beside Nangong Haoling.

Turning her eyes slightly, she looked at Nangong Haoyuan who was doting on Xuanyuantang, she said with a smile: "Brother Xianwang has seen countless good things on weekdays, I really don't know what rare items to prepare for this birthday gift ! Here is a painting prepared, although it is not expensive, it is from the hands of this palace, I hope Brother Wang likes it!"

While speaking, Ting Lan stepped forward holding a painting about three feet long.

Seeing this, Nangong Haoyuan got up to take it, raised his hand lightly, and was about to pull away the gift rope.

Before he could open the scroll, Nangong Haoling, who was seated above, let out a sneer: "I didn't expect the queen to be able to paint!"

"As for the courtiers and concubines, there are still many things the emperor doesn't know!" Smiling lightly, without showing any displeasure at his words, Yuan Xiuyue picked up the teacup and lowered her head to drink the tea.

Seeing Yuan Xiuyue like this, Nangong Haoling frowned suddenly, a cold look flashed across his originally sharp eyes!

Raising his hand to prevent Nangong Haoling from opening the painting, he asked in a cold voice, "Now that brother Wang's birthday gift is also given, does the queen still remember what she is going to do?"

With glistening red lips, she quietly left the teacup, Yuan Xiuyue smiled coldly in her heart, then bent her red lips suddenly, and asked aloud: "Is the emperor so impatient?"

Anyway, what she is going to do today will offend him no matter what, since the conflict is inevitable, she has lived enough of putting on airs in the past two years, so she might as well live a more straightforward life now!
And her direct reaction was that Nangong Haoling's handsome face darkened directly. If her eyes could kill, she would have died thousands of times by now.

On the side, Empress Dowager Zhong saw everything in her eyes, and she couldn't help frowning curiously and asked, "What important thing is the empress going to announce? How could it make the emperor so impatient?"

Slowly, putting down the teacup, Yuan Xiuyue smiled at Empress Dowager Zhong, but said nothing.

The more she was like this, the more curious Empress Dowager Zhong became.

Lifting her eyes lightly, looking at Nangong Haoling, Empress Dowager Zhong smiled lovingly: "Since the queen doesn't talk about it, the emperor will tell Aijia about it!"

Looking at Yuan Xiuyue's smiling face, Nangong Haoling's eyes did not hide the disgust at all.

However, because the Queen Mother asked questions, he had to answer them!
Turning his head and bowing his head slightly to the Empress Dowager Zhong, he said in a very displeased voice, "My boy just fell in love with a woman recently, and wants to take her as his concubine and give her a title!"

As soon as he said this, the big hall of Fushou Palace was quiet. After a while, accompanied by the sound of small discussions, everyone who woke up focused their eyes on Yuan Mingyue!
The woman mentioned by the emperor has no title yet!

In this hall, apart from King Xian and Princess Xian, those present today are the concubines in the palace and some princes and grandchildren. These concubines are all the emperor's women, and the only one who has no status is Yuan Mingyue!
Yuan Mingyue was born extremely beautiful, even though beauty is the most indispensable thing in the palace, standing among all the beauties, she is still breathtaking.

On Yuan Xiuyue's face, there was not much emotional fluctuation. She stared at her sister gently for a moment. She stood up lightly, stepped down from the high position, and walked several steps forward, finally stopping at Yuan Mingyue. In front of him, he stretched out his hand.

"elder sister……"

"The Queen Mother..."

The bright winking eyes were full of smiles. After Yuan Mingyue choked for a moment, she put her hand in hers with the corner of her mouth slightly curled up: "Sister!"

Gently holding the soft and slender hand in her hand, although Yuan Xiuyue's face was still calm, a strange color flashed in her eyes when she heard Yuan Mingyue's name "sister".

"Sister, come with me!" Gradually, with a slight smile, she held Yuan Mingyue's hand in full view, and Pin Ting moved forward, and finally stopped at the foot of the gilded and rich steps.

While raising her eyes, facing Nangong Haoling slightly softened her pupils, she shook Yuan Mingyue's hand tightly, and then she smiled and turned to look at Ting Lan.

Ting Lan understood, lowered her eyebrows and blinked, holding the imperial decree written by Nangong Haoling earlier, and presented it in front of the Queen Mother very respectfully.

Seeing this, Empress Dowager Zhong frowned and took the imperial decree, and then slowly opened it.

In the first place, while the Queen Mother was looking at the imperial decree, Yuan Xiuyue below was not idle.

She let go of Yuan Mingyue's hand, raised her hands above her head, and actually took off the phoenix crown that symbolized the queen's status from her bun.

Seeing this, everyone in the hall was shocked!
"Miss!"

His complexion changed slightly, Xuanyuantang sat up from his seat.

Walking around the table and coming to Yuan Xiuyue's side, she stretched out her hand to support Yuan Xiuyue's hand holding the phoenix crown, frowned and said, "What are you doing?"

Looking down at Xuanyuantang holding her hand, Yuan Xiuyue smiled faintly and handed her the phoenix crown.

"Ting Lan!"

Yuan Xiuyue softly called Ting Lan, and slowly opened her arms. On the phoenix robe, the fire phoenix outlined by the golden thread spread its wings and soared!

Looking helplessly at her master, Ting Lan stepped forward slowly and began to take off the phoenix robe on Yuan Xiuyue.

After a while, the phoenix robe was removed, and Yuan Xiuyue was only wearing a long plain dress, which fully showed her slender figure.

Because of her sudden action, the hall was silent for a while!

In the high position, Nangong Haoling's expression that had just softened became ugly again, and Empress Dowager Zhong's expression also suddenly became ugly.

Putting down the imperial decree in her hand on the table, Empress Dowager Zhong asked with a gloomy expression, "Queen, what are you going to do?"

Hearing this, the corners of Yuan Xiuyue's mouth, which were originally slightly raised, gradually retracted.

Dai Mei twitched lightly, she stretched out her hand to remove the phoenix hairpin on the topknot, and the black hair, which lost its bondage, spread out in an instant, like a waterfall, pouring down!

"Queen!"

Nangong Haoling narrowed his eyes dangerously as the word "queen" was almost squeezed out between his teeth.

"The imperial decree in the hands of the queen mother was handed over by the emperor to his concubine two days ago, and he ordered the concubine to affix the seal of the phoenix. It was announced on the birthday of Brother Xianwang." Gently raised his eyes, and glanced at the queen mother, Yuan Xiuyue slowly Lowering her head, she lowered her eyes with some grievances: "As the queen mother has seen, the emperor and sister are in love with each other, and they love each other deeply. I want to make her a soft concubine!"

Sighing lightly, Empress Dowager Zhong's tone was slightly cold: "It's just a concubine, why are you like this?"

"The empress dowager doesn't know that before entering the palace, my concubine has a very good relationship with my sister. The beauty of my sister's life is even more proficient in piano, chess, calligraphy and painting. In my concubine's heart, she is proud and unique!" Bing Mao glanced at Yuan Mingyue, Yuan Xiuyue knelt down with hazy eyes, gritted her teeth secretly, rolled up the sleeves of her skirt, raised her head slightly, and turned her gaze to Nangong Haoling: "In the heart of my concubine, if my sister enters the palace, she will only If you can be a queen, your concubine has no virtue, and you are ashamed to be a queen for two years, I implore the emperor to abolish the queen!"
