The Queen Mother frowned and continued worriedly, "Right now, the Xie family is about to return to the court, while the Lu family has always maintained a neutral attitude. Under such circumstances, whether your throne can still be as stable as before is probably an unknown!"

"Yes... the emperor is still trying to find a way to remedy the situation."

The Queen Mother nodded gently, "Let the Queen host this dinner."

"Okay." Wei Ming naturally knew why. He wanted to show his respect for Xie Chenning in front of Xie Feisi.

"Today, go to the Queen's Palace and see what her attitude is."

"Yes, I will obey you, mother."

Wei Ming agreed obediently.

The bright moon hangs high in the vast night sky, like a silver plate emitting a cool and soft light.

After coming out of the Cining Palace, Wei Ming walked slowly on the palace road with heavy steps, his heart full of worry and boredom.

At this moment, a melodious and graceful piano sound came into his ears vaguely.

The sound of the piano was like the gurgling of water, flowing gently, and like the singing of a nightingale, clear and pleasant.

Wei Ming couldn't help but stop and listen. As the sound of the piano became clearer, he found that it seemed to come from the direction of Kunning Palace.

"Your Majesty, in my opinion, this moving piano sound seems to be coming from Kunning Palace. Could it be that the Empress is playing the piano?" Eunuch Chen said softly.

Queen...

Wei Ming was slightly startled when he heard this, and the image of the queen's previous dignified and graceful figure emerged in his mind.

He really had not expected that the queen, who was always known for her virtue and steadiness, actually had such superb piano skills and could play such a thrilling piece of music.

"The queen is quite leisurely and elegant... Let's go and take a look at Kunning Palace."

Wei Ming muttered to himself, with a barely perceptible hint of curiosity in his eyes.

"Yes." Eunuch Chen breathed a sigh of relief.

Wei Ming originally came to Kunning Palace to see Xie Chenning, and now he unconsciously quickened his pace.

The Kunning Palace was brightly lit, and countless bright lights made the entire palace as bright as day.

The young eunuch guarding the door had his head down, kicking the stones on the ground with his toes out of boredom.

Suddenly, a light sound of footsteps was heard. The young eunuch raised his head subconsciously. When he saw Wei Ming, he was stunned on the spot as if struck by lightning. He knelt down suddenly and began to tremble uncontrollably.

However, Wei Ming did not stay for long. He just waved his hand casually, signaling the young eunuchs to leave.

Eunuch Chen cursed softly, "Go, go, go away."

Those young eunuchs bowed as if they had been pardoned, and then hurriedly left the door, fearing that if they were even a little slower they would displease this person.

After everyone left, Wei Ming slowly walked to the door, gently moved his body to the gap between the two doors, and looked inside through the narrow gap.

I saw lotus flowers standing tall around the pavilion, curtains fluttering in the wind, and the hazy figure of Xie Chenning could be vaguely seen.

She was dressed in a purple robe that looked like smoke and mist, sitting quietly in the center of the pavilion, her posture upright and elegant, like a purple lotus blooming in a valley.

Three thousand strands of black hair fell casually on her shoulders like a waterfall, and a few strands of hair fluttered gently in the breeze.

Her face was cold, her eyebrows were like distant black, her eyes were like autumn water, and her eyes revealed a kind of faint sadness and tranquility. Her skin was as white as snow, and against the background of purple clothes, it looked even whiter and more delicate.

In front of her was a guqin, the body of which was simple and elegant, exuding the breath of time.

A breeze blew by, ruffling Xie Chenning's clothes and hair. She moved her fingers lightly, and the melodious sound of the piano slowly rang out, like a clear stream flowing.

After the song ended, Xie Chenning lowered her eyes and looked at her hands resting on the strings. Why did she feel that this song was so familiar?

It was as if it had been deeply imprinted in the depths of one's memory, just waiting to be reawakened at a certain moment.

Suddenly, I heard footsteps behind me. The sound came from far away and seemed to carry some unknown sense of oppression.

Xie Chenning came back to his senses and subconsciously turned around to see that the person who came was Wei Ming.

He was wearing a bright yellow dragon robe, his posture was as straight as a pine tree, his handsome face looked a little haggard, and at this moment, there was not much expression on his face.

Xie Chenning did not stand up to greet Wei Ming because of his arrival. She still sat there quietly, with a hint of indifference and alienation in her eyes.

After a while, Wei Ming came closer, and she slowly opened her mouth and called out indifferently: "Your Majesty."

At this moment, Eunuch Chen, who had been following behind Wei Ming, was about to speak up and blame Xie Chenning for being disrespectful to the emperor.

However, before he could say anything, Wei Ming raised his hand and waved it gently, signaling him not to say anything more.

Upon seeing this, Eunuch Chen was surprised at Wei Ming's sudden change in attitude towards the Queen. He did not dare to speculate, but just lowered his head silently and retreated aside quietly.

Wei Ming was not angry because of Xie Chenning's cold attitude. Instead, the corners of his mouth slightly raised, revealing an interested smile.

You know, in this huge harem, many concubines are obedient and flattering to him, and it is rare to find someone as cold and aloof as Xie Chenning.

Because of this, her cold look became even more unique and charming, making Wei Ming involuntarily feel a little nostalgic.

If this is Xie Chenning's new method, then we have to admit that she was successful.

However, if Xie Chenning knew what Wei Ming was thinking, he would probably vomit out tonight's dinner.

"Why doesn't the Queen rest yet?"

Wei Ming took cautious steps and approached Xie Chenning.

It was the height of summer, and even at night it was still hot and muggy.

Xie Chenning was now only wearing a thin smoky purple dress, the sleeves of which flowed like light clouds.

When she stood up, the breeze blew gently, and her clothes fluttered in the wind, fitting tightly against her body, perfectly outlining her graceful and slender waistline.

Smelling the faint fragrance, Wei Ming's eyes were involuntarily attracted to Xie Chenning, fixed firmly on her, unable to move away even a little bit.

At this moment, the watery moonlight gently fell on the earth, and generously illuminated Xie Chenning's figure.

Against the backdrop of the bright moonlight, her already bright and charming facial features were even more exquisite. Her skin exuded an amazing luster, as delicate and smooth as white jade, flawless to the extreme.

What is particularly eye-catching is her round and lovely earlobes.

Looking from the side, the lines are soft and smooth, with a faint hint of pink, making people want to reach out and gently knead it to feel the softness and warmth.

This scene made Wei Ming recall the unforgettable night he spent with the Queen more than a month ago.

That night, the candlelight flickered and the red gauze tent was warm.

Everything was so beautiful and intoxicating that I still feel the aftertaste when I think back on it now.
