Chapter 192 The Empress' Approval

Everyone was surprised and looked towards the door.Seeing this, Shangguan Fuxue couldn't help but stop, bowed and stepped aside, saluting with everyone.

Long Yan came in with a smile, then was stunned for a moment, his eyes fell on Shangguan Fuxue's face, and he sized her up in disbelief, "Are you Shangguan Fuxue?"

Shangguan Fuxue nodded with a smile, "Returning to Your Highness Changsun, the minister's daughter is indeed Shangguan Fuxue, and the minister's daughter's face has been healed."

Long Yan looked at her deeply, and after a while he smiled and said: "Miss Shangguan's face is really surprising."

"It seems that even you don't know about this." The queen sighed softly, "When I saw her face just now, I was really surprised and surprised. The beauties newly picked by your grandpa didn't She is so beautiful. It has been buried in vain for so many years, and it is really aggrieved."

Long Yan's eyes couldn't hide his astonishment, "Looking at her 'half face makeup' before, I thought that if there were no scars, she would have such a flawless face."

"Your uncle wants Ms. Shangguan to perform a dance at your great-grandmother's birthday banquet, what do you think?" The queen always had a dignified smile on her face, and her bright eyes couldn't hide the deepness in her eyes, which meant nothing.

"Grandson thinks this is a good idea." Long Yan said with a smile, "Grandson has seen Miss Shangguan's dancing at the Lanting Ya Party before, and he has no doubts about Miss Shangguan's dancing skills. I believe that if Miss Shangguan can dance at the birthday party of great-grandmother Great-grandmother will be very happy if she dances on stage."

"This "Dancing Danqing" should be danced with ink and wash. I saw that Miss Shangguan's dance steps just now clearly moved with the rhythm. Had an amazing performance."

"Miss Shangguan's dancing is outstanding, and her talent is amazing." The queen said slowly, "Yesterday, the emperor came back early, and he was in a very good mood. The emperor told this palace that General Shangguan proposed to the emperor to return the farmland to the farmer." ' to replace the original 'returning fields to farmers'."

"He said that the implementation of this law can reduce the burden on the tenant farmers, increase the enthusiasm of the tenant farmers, and at the same time relieve the hidden worries of food shortages in disaster years. That’s why it’s Miss Shangguan who did it.”

"Now it seems that the implementation of this law still has some disadvantages, but in the end the advantages outweigh the disadvantages. Therefore, the emperor said with a smile that he should first test the land of the official family to see the effect. If it is true as Miss Shangguan said, It can increase production and income, and can also solve the food shortage in disaster years, so this method will be promoted throughout the country.”

Shangguan Fuxue immediately bowed to the queen with a happy face, "Thank you for your enlightenment!"

"Hey!" The queen glanced at her with a smile, "How can this be my bright lesson? This is all your cleverness."

"If there is such a caring person by my side, this harem can be much quieter."

Shangguan Fuxue just smiled without saying a word.

The queen continued: "Since you have the filial piety towards the queen mother, why don't you stay in my palace and make a good plan and prepare for the dance that day. Besides, it's best not to leak out about the dance performance, or it will be gone by then." That taste."

"This..." Shangguan Fuxue looked at her hesitantly.

"I know that you must have something to take care of in the General's Mansion. In this way, after you go back, take care of it and prepare the clothes you need. I will send someone to pick you up tomorrow morning."

"I'm still waiting to hear Miss Shangguan's outlandish ideas, so I'll come earlier tomorrow."

Coming out of the Jiaofang Hall, Shangguan Fuxue let out a long sigh of relief, although she had expected that once the matter was successful, she might stay in the Queen's Palace.

After all, the emperor has long lost the favor he has for the empress, and what he has is a way of maintaining a balanced relationship between the empress and the empress, which is nothing more than respect.Judging from Concubine Liang's near gaffe just now, the emperor's favor for her must have loosened a bit, that's why she panicked like this.

The reason why the empress agreed easily was probably because she wanted to use herself to inject some fresh air into the turbulent situation in the harem, as a temporary adjustment.

When a person stands on a high place, he must be in danger of falling from the high place.Even if I don't have the heart to become a confidante, in the eyes of these people, sooner or later, I will be forced to become a "concubine" who is spurned by others!
Shangguan Fuxue sighed softly, if she hadn't been carrying the expectations of the two elders of the Shangguan family, she might not have had to do this at all.

"Did you know? From the moment you stepped into the palace gate, your life began to be involved with these people in the palace." Nangong Lieyan looked lightly at an unknown point in the distance, and met with the same feeling. Shangguan Fuxue's worried eyes, "As you said before, if that jade pendant appeared on your neck, how many pairs of eyes would stare at you and your every move. Even if you don't have that kind of thought, they I will also try my best to kill all possibilities before they happen.”

Hearing this, Shangguan Fuxue was a little stunned, "I know that the outside world is much more complicated than the backyard of the general's mansion. But in such a world where people cannibalize, there is no way for a person to protect himself or the people around him." Power and status, there is no way to do it."

"It's like before I bumped my head, my stupidity and ugliness were a joke in the eyes of others. Therefore, I was regarded as someone who could be bullied. But after bumping my head, everything changed. With my own ability, I let Everyone looked at me with admiration. But that alone is obviously not enough."

"If you want status, you want power," Nangong Lieyan looked at her deeply, "Why don't you focus on me?"

"Focus on you?" Shangguan Fuxue snorted softly, "Is there any mistake? I, Shangguan Fuxue, have my own abilities, why should I rely on a man to take over the position?"

Such a cryptic confession, like last time, was prevaricated by her without hesitation.Is this Shangguan Fuxue deliberately avoiding, or does she not have him in her heart at all?Nangong Lieyan felt sour in his heart, so he glanced at her sadly, but didn't speak.

Unexpectedly, Shangguan Fuxue quickly said generously: "Master, in my Shangguan Fuxue's eyes, love and career have always been separate, okay?! Just like love and hate, there is always a distinction." Yes. If I like someone, I will love him with a pure feeling, and I will not use him as a cash cow."

"So..." Nangong Lieyan's eyes darkened, and he stared at her closely, for fear of missing an expression that reflected her true state of mind.

"What did you say?" Shangguan Fuxue realized that she had slipped her words again, and hurriedly giggled, "However, for a 'ruthless' person like me, how could there be someone he likes!"

really!

Nangong Lieyan rolled his eyes, the mouth of a dead duck is stiff!
"What are you going to do with that thing?" Nangong Lieyan asked suddenly.

"What?" Shangguan Fuxue was a little dazed before he recovered from his beating heart.

Nangong Lieyan raised her chin and pointed to the position of her chest.

Shangguan Fuxue subconsciously covered her chest with her hands, "What are you doing?"

Shangguan Fuxue's confusion has been rare these days, Nangong Lieyan was lucky enough to see it again, and couldn't help crying and laughing: "It's that jade pendant."

"Oh." Shangguan Fuxue finally came to his senses, "Let's keep it in mind, this kind of thing is not important, find a time to secretly return it to him."

Nangong Lieyan took Shangguan Fuxue back to the place where they had parked before. Not far from them, a young palace lady stopped suddenly and turned back.She didn't look panicked at all, she calmly greeted other court ladies and eunuchs on the way, and arrived at Yanqing Palace where Concubine Liang was staying.

The copper-gilt smoker cage is burning with light smoke, and the fragrance is mixed with the freshly harvested toilet water in the morning, which has an intoxicating fragrance.Concubine Liang has already changed into a new set of clothes, the color is still bright purple, with her raised eyebrows and a tear mole on the corner of her left eye, it is unexpectedly touching.

The palace maid came in, before she could make a sound, she saw Concubine Liang raised her eyelids slightly, and asked softly: "How is it? Can you see everything clearly?"

The palace lady lowered her head and replied: "My lord and that young lady did indeed come out of the empress's palace. Although I don't know what happened, this servant listened to what the two of them said about their status and power. It looked like they were going to talk to the empress. The empress has a relationship."

"I guess so." Concubine Liang sneered, "General Shangguan has always been close to the prince of Chu and His Highness the eldest grandson, now it will be a matter of time before his daughter gets closer to the queen." Her lips curled up suddenly. She made a treacherous smile, "It's just that I didn't expect her face to return to that. I'm afraid she will be a harmful vixen sooner or later!"

She shook her hand hard, and she had just dyed Kodan because her fingers kept tightening, and it suddenly broke!
The maid even clearly heard the sound of the fingernails snapping, the soft sound seemed to snap the tight string in her heart suddenly, she lowered her head hastily, waiting for Concubine Liang's attack.

"Why don't you hurry up and trim this palace?!" Concubine Liang shouted sharply as usual.

The maid was startled, she hurriedly got up to trim her nails, but before she got up, Concubine Liang said coldly: "You just wait there."

"Then have you ever heard them talking about the general's wife?" Concubine Liang stretched out her fingers with broken nails to the eyes of the manicured maid, and looked at her.

"Returning to your mother's words, after listening to your mother's instructions, the servant hurriedly went outside the gate of Weiyang Palace and waited for them to come out. The servant did not know what they said before they came out. But after they left the Weiyang Palace, the servant kept following them carefully. Later, I didn't hear them mention Mrs. Shangguan."

"My sister hasn't come to see me for quite some time." Concubine Liang sighed softly with a desolate expression, "Usually at this time, she always comes over to greet me attentively. Even if it's not for me, she has to pretend for her own sake. But Now, it's been a long time since I even saw each other."

The more she thought about it, the more she felt something was wrong, and she couldn't help frowning, "Could something have happened?"

"Xun'er," Concubine Liang called the court lady solemnly, "Tomorrow I will go to the General's Mansion on behalf of me, call my sister, and tell me that I want to see her."
