After killing four concubines, the queen was sentenced to death and reborn

A girl who loves to laugh always makes people feel happy involuntarily, and Lu Lingyuan is no exception.

"Your Majesty, please take a look." Gao Jieyu opened her red lips slightly, her voice carrying a hint of coquettishness and flattery, "This jade bracelet seems to be tailor-made for me. It fits me perfectly when I wear it. It is really perfect." After that, she lightly stretched out her fair wrist in front of Lu Lingyuan's eyes. Her fair and delicate hands, as flawless as the first snow, set off the jade bracelet in an intoxicating beauty.

Lu Lingyuan's gaze fell on Gao Jieyu's wrist, a hint of tenderness flashed in her eyes, and she smiled slightly, with a smile that contained a bit of fondness for Gao Jieyu, "As long as you like it, I also think it is very suitable." As she spoke, her mood seemed to be infected by this beautiful scene, and her whole person became bright, as if even the air around her was stained with a bit of joy.

"I guess you got up in a hurry this morning, so you probably didn't eat much, right?" Lu Lingyuan said in a gentle tone, with some concern, "I didn't eat much breakfast, and it's a good thing that you're here, so please eat with me!"

"Okay!" Gao Jieyu's eyes flashed with surprise when she heard that. She nodded in agreement quickly, with an even brighter smile on her face. She took light steps, walked slowly forward, and touched her arm very naturally.

Lu Lingyuan raised the corners of her mouth and smiled gently at her, and they walked into the dining room together.

At one side, Yun'er and Qinglan stood side by side, both of them had a look of surprise on their faces, as if they had never expected that the Queen would make such an arrangement.

With the arrival of Concubine Gao, Lu Lingyuan's mood was like a flower blooming in spring, bright and cheerful, and her appetite, which used to be a little light, also improved a lot. She opened her red lips and savored the delicacies on the table carefully, and her satisfaction and joy were inadvertently expressed in her words. Seeing this, Yun'er and Qinglan were also very happy in their hearts, and the corners of their mouths unconsciously rose, as if even the air was filled with a faint sweetness.

The palace servants removed the food one by one with light movements. Just as the palace was returning to peace, a shrill eunuch's voice sounded from outside the palace, breaking the silence like thunder: "Your Majesty has arrived!"

Hearing this, Lu Lingyuan gently raised her hand, her movements graceful and calm. Yun'er understood what she meant, and hurried forward, carefully helping Lu Lingyuan to stand up. Gao Jieyu beside her also stood up quickly. Although she tried her best to remain calm, a barely perceptible panic still flashed across her eyes like a meteor.

Xiao Chengji had just finished a long morning court session, and he had not yet changed out of his court robes. His steps carried a trace of dignity and fatigue. When he stepped into the palace, he saw a strange face beside him, and his brows involuntarily knitted slightly. Then, his eyes gently fell on Lu Lingyuan.

"Your Majesty, I pay my respects to you. May your Majesty be blessed with good health!" Lu Lingyuan bowed gracefully, but just as she was about to bend down, Xiao Chengji quickly stepped forward and gently helped her up.

"Okay, didn't I tell you? Now that you're pregnant, all these red tape can be skipped." Xiao Chengji's words were filled with unquestionable tenderness and care.

Lu Lingyuan raised a faint smile and introduced, "Your Majesty, this is Gao Jieyu, the new concubine in the palace."

When Gao Jieyu heard this, the smile on her face instantly faded, replaced by an indescribable nervousness and awe. She quickly knelt down to pay her respects, with a barely perceptible tremor in her voice: "Your Majesty, I pay my respects to you. May your Majesty be blessed with good health!"

"Get up!" Xiao Chengji glanced at her calmly, his tone was calm, and then he refocused all his attention on Lu Lingyuan, his voice as gentle as spring breeze: "Have you had breakfast?"

"I have just used it. Your Majesty, have you just come out of court?" Lu Lingyuan responded softly. Her face was rosy and her eyes were shining with joy. She seemed to be shrouded in a layer of faint light, making her look particularly moving.

"I was delayed by something in the morning court. I'll go change my clothes first." Xiao Chengji held Lu Lingyuan's hands.

Lu Lingyuan responded softly: "Yes."

After saying that, Xiao Chengji turned around and walked into the inner room and began to change into his daily clothes. Gao Jieyu was a smart person. Seeing this, she immediately said, "Your Majesty, I will take my leave first and will not disturb you and His Majesty." There was just the right amount of respect and humility in her voice, which made it impossible to refuse.

"Okay." Lu Lingyuan nodded slightly, her eyes revealing a hint of relief and tranquility.

When Xiao Chengji changed his clothes and came out, the morning light was gently shining under the eaves, and the golden glow added a bit of warmth to the deep palace.

Lu Lingyuan was already sitting on the couch, with a faint smile on her lips. The smile was a bit playful and innocent like a girl, and it was obvious that there were ripples of joy in her heart. Her thoughts seemed to be still immersed in the conversation with Gao Jieyu just now, so she couldn't help but laugh again, with a smart light flashing in her eyes.

At this moment, Xiao Chengji's figure came into view. His gentle eyes caught Lu Lingyuan's rare joy. He smiled, walked lightly, and said in a low and gentle voice: "What makes you so happy?"

Lu Lingyuan raised her head and met Xiao Chengji's affectionate gaze. The smile on her face faded a lot, and then she opened her red lips and said softly, "Nothing, I just think Gao Jieyu has a straightforward personality, and her words are full of innocence and fun. Talking with her makes me forget many troubles, and I feel very comfortable."

Hearing this, Xiao Chengji's eyes became softer, as if he wanted to blend her whole figure into these gentle eyes. He gently took Lu Lingyuan's delicate hand and said softly, "Really?" His tone was both questioning and full of infinite pampering and care.

Lu Lingyuan looked at him and said firmly, "Gao Jieyu is a lively woman, simple and straightforward. If Your Majesty gets along with her for a long time in the future, you will definitely think the same as I do today."

When Xiao Chengji mentioned this, his expression changed slightly, and a hint of guilt and self-blame flashed across his eyes, but he quickly concealed it. He nodded slightly, trying to change the subject: "I summoned them today. Did everything go well?"

Seeing this, Lu Lingyuan noticed something in her heart, but she did not point it out. She just responded in a more calm manner: "Everything is going well. All the sisters are very respectful to me. Your Majesty can rest assured."

"That's good." Xiao Chengji patted her palm gently, an indescribable expression flashed across his face, and after a long while he said, "I may not be able to accompany you tonight."

When Lu Lingyuan heard this, she understood it instantly and said calmly, "Okay, the concubines are entering the palace, waiting for your majesty's favor. I understand."
