Playful Queen

Chapter 34

Ningyun Palace, the magnificent hall is very lively, even the air is full of noise, the crystal marble floor is extraordinarily bright, on the vermilion and gold lacquered seat, Xia Yunxi is wearing a rose-scented tight-fitting gown with sleeves and a green veil underneath. Scattered flower skirt, a belt tied with gold silk soft smoke around the waist, and jasper-chan phoenix hairpins are inserted obliquely on the sideburns. Concubines and beauties.

According to etiquette, today these concubines should go to pay their respects to the queen, but when they learned that the queen was driven back to the Hall of Fengyi by the emperor, the queen who had fallen out of favor was even less prestige, so everyone began to change their targets. Come to curry favor with the most favored concubine Yun.

"I don't know if Concubine Yun is still used to it after she enters the palace?" The person who spoke was Concubine Li, who was originally in charge of the Eastern Palace. Her eyes were bright, and there was a touch of gold between her eyebrows. She was tantalizing, and she could be regarded as a stunning beauty. .

Yun Xi looked at Concubine Li, although she knew in her heart that her status was higher than Concubine Li at this time, but she still said modestly: "Thank you for your concern, sister, everything is fine for my sister."

Yun Xi was indeed the number one beauty in the capital, she was very glamorous, Concubine Li smiled slightly at Concubine Yun, originally thought that Yun Xi was the person most likely to become the empress, and she would naturally become the head of the Eastern Palace.But he didn't expect that a sudden edict from the previous emperor disrupted everything. Now that the empress has fallen out of favor, the best way at the moment is to get closer to Concubine Yun, who entered the palace with the empress and is especially favored by the emperor.

"I heard very early on that Concubine Yun is called the number one beauty in the capital. When I saw her today, such a celestial being is really only found in the sky. It is rare to hear of it in the world." The speaker was also the concubine Rong of the Eastern Palace, with a smile on her face.

"Moreover, the emperor loves us deeply, which really makes us envious. I believe that Concubine Yun will be pregnant with a dragon fetus in a short time." Xu Meiren beside her said leisurely.

As soon as these words came out, Yun Xi was shocked, and a trace of undetectable bitterness flashed across her face, but in the end she smiled shyly and said: "What is Xu Meiren talking about, the emperor always treats the sisters in the harem It is equal treatment.”

"In this palace, the only person the emperor doesn't treat equally is the new empress." Xu Meiren lifted up the silk and said, shaking it.

When Concubine Rong heard this, she also opened her mouth and said: "Today, I also heard from Qianqing Palace that the emperor drove the queen back to Fengyi Hall. It is said that Fengyi Hall is not a clean place..."

While they were talking, a small eunuch came in to announce that Concubine Xue from the West Palace and several nobles had come to visit.

Soon, I saw their slender figures walking in with lotus steps. Seeing the blessings of several people, Yun Xi immediately stood up and supported Concubine Xue, "You must not, Yun Xi will not enter the palace soon enough Boss, according to age, Yun Xi should call a few older sisters."

She looked at Concubine Xue, she is Concubine Hui's own younger sister, and after entering the palace, relying on having this elder sister, she developed a temperament that was not afraid of anything, anyway, she had an elder sister to help her deal with the aftermath, but because of this, she treated Concubine Hui much She seemed gentle and quiet, but such a woman should not be a simple person, so she had to give Concubine Hui some face, "Sisters, please sit down quickly."

Concubine Xue looked at Yun Xi, she was indeed a beautiful woman, no wonder the emperor loves her so much, so she felt unwilling, but she still had to do it, this is the sorrow in the palace, whoever is favored will have everything.

"Concubine Xue, I heard Concubine Hui went to see the Empress?" Concubine Li asked with a raised tone on purpose.

"Yes, I just heard about it, why did Concubine Hui go back to see the queen?"

Concubine Xue also showed a puzzled expression, and said: "I also just met my sister on the road, and I didn't know that she went to Fengyi Palace. I can't figure out why."

Speaking of the empress, everyone's face showed displeasure, and Tingmei from the West Palace even complained: "If it weren't for the late emperor's edict, she wouldn't be able to be the empress, maybe she wouldn't even be able to enter the imperial palace."

"That's right, it's said that I've been chasing the emperor for seven years, and I don't know how to be shameless." Xu Meiren said while holding back her mouth.

"Actually... In my opinion, if it weren't for the late emperor's edict, the position of empress would definitely belong to sister Yun Xi. I really don't know why the late emperor made this edict." Concubine Rong followed her footsteps to discuss, " Do you think there is any secret hidden in it?"

"After all, Prime Minister Shen's family is the Empress Dowager's own family. If you want to blame it, you can blame our lives." Tingmei said with a sigh.

"I heard that tomorrow is the day of offering sacrifices to the heavens. It is a foregone conclusion to tell the world." Seeing how vigorously they were speaking, Xue Bi couldn't help but interject, but this sentence also hit everyone's heart , Several people looked at each other in silence, and suddenly, Concubine Li covered her mouth with a silk scarf, and said mysteriously: "Maybe there is some unexpected situation on the day of the grand ceremony? Doesn't the foregone conclusion become the beginning again?"

After hearing this, everyone looked at Concubine Li, each with their own concerns.

Li Pin smiled faintly, and said softly, "It's just an if, so I'll just say it casually."

Everyone started laughing together, trying to cover everything up with their smiles.

And Yun Xi, who was seated in the seat, remained silent from the beginning to the end. At this time, she also smiled faintly, she was extremely beautiful, but her heart was blocked by Xu Meiren's words...

At night, the lanterns on the long corridor of Ningyun Palace were swaying in the night wind. Xiaoyu was carrying a bowl of steaming hot water and was about to walk through the long corridor to the door of Concubine Yun's bedroom, "Your Majesty... is a slave."

"Come in." Yun Xi's delicate and mellow voice was extremely pleasant, and it rang through the door.

Xiaoyu gently pushed open the door, neatly put the tray on the table, and blessed her body: "My lady, the medicine has been decocted, I believe this time my lady will be able to cure this disease."

Wearing a white and light skirt, Yun Xi got up slowly, picked up a bowl of pitch-black medicine, and frowned, "Will this really work?"

"This is a folk formula, and it will definitely heal the empress's body." Xiaoyu said confidently.

At this time, the door was suddenly pushed open again, quickly took the bowl of medicine in Yun Xi's hand, and a deep voice sounded: "What are you going to do again?"

Yun Xi seemed to be shocked, and saw the handsome and domineering man in front of him, with his brows furrowed, looking at him.

Xiaoyu immediately knelt down on the ground, and said respectfully: "My maidservant pays respects to the emperor."

Zi Yechen waved his hand, signaling Xiaoyu to go down, and Xiaoyu also retreated wisely, only Yun Xi, the emperor, and the bowl of pitch-black concoction were left in the room.

Yun Xi saw the displeasure on the Emperor's face, "Your Majesty, I..."

"I've said it before, even if you can't conceive a child, you're still my woman!" Zi Yechen held Yun Xi in his arms.
