The abandoned queen is reborn: she makes the prince cry and seizes the throne!

"Normally speaking, when other people wear such bright red and purple peony flowers, the flowers will most likely overshadow them. But now, with your beauty, the flowers are clearly overshadowed."

"You are just sweet-talker." Wu Xian looked at the beauty in the bronze mirror with a smile, wondering if His Majesty would like it.

"Empress--" Another maid came in from outside. Her voice suddenly broke the tranquility in the hall, making Wu Xian furious.

"You little rascal, what are you yelling about in the middle of the night?!"

Ah Lu was about to hit her, but when she saw that Wu Xian didn't try to stop her, she had no choice but to slap the maid in the face without mercy.

The crisp sound of slaps rang out in the hall, which made Wu Xian feel better. "What's the matter? Tell me now!"

"My Lady, today the princess met Madam He on the street, and they even had a drink in a restaurant during lunch. The implication was that the Queen Mother and His Majesty wanted Madam He to be the Queen..."

“Pah—Huahua—”

The embroidered and jeweled boxes on the table were swept all over the floor. "How can she be favored by the Queen Mother? I am the eldest daughter of the Wu family, but I can only be a concubine after marrying into the palace... Do you know that my father was the Prime Minister of two dynasties and his status is so respected? Now the daughter of a small warrior family wants to suppress me to become the Queen?!"

Ah Lu didn't dare to breathe.

This master is a spoiled one.

"A-Lu, change my clothes for me. I'm going to ask His Majesty to seek justice!"

After putting a layer of autumn shirt over Yan Cu's peony flower skirt, Wu Xian took A Lu away.

Fortunately, the emperor was still in his study. The eunuch waiting outside saw him and said, "Your Majesty, His Majesty is still handling official business... Please let me inform you."

Wu Ya stood still and smiled sweetly, "I also saw that Your Majesty was working hard, so I personally made soup for Your Majesty. The weather is getting colder, and Your Majesty needs to take good care of himself..."

"Yes…"

After Wu Ya brought someone to pass the message, she stood outside for a while, and the eunuch stepped aside to make way for her. "Madam, please come in."

After the death of the evil concubine Liu Huachao, Wu Xian became the favorite in the harem.

"Your Majesty...it's getting late and the dew is heavy. I specially prepared some soup for you. Please drink it while it's still hot."

The fingertips that were peeling the onion roots touched the porcelain bowl, which was filled with hot steam. Ning Huaixuan raised an eyebrow, looked at the white jade-like fingers, and clenched them in his palm, "My beloved concubine, you have worked hard..."

Wu Xian smiled knowingly, "I don't feel tired. On the contrary, it is Your Majesty who works so hard that you should take care of yourself more."

The memorial was closed carelessly, and the cool jade ring touched Wu Ya's earlobe.

The latter was not in a hurry and smiled, "Today, my sister happened to meet the He family's sister on the street... Your Majesty may have seen the He family's sister..."

Ning Huaixuan let go of her hand and tolerated her sitting next to him, "He Wei's sister, I will naturally remember her."

Wu Xian smiled and continued, "Sister He is extremely talented and beautiful, but she has never had a marriage. I heard in the harem that the Queen Mother always likes to invite people to her side, but Your Majesty has never heard of it. Which family of young man does the Queen Mother intend to match for Sister He?"

This is pretending to be ignorant while knowing the truth.

Ning Huaixuan held the person's hand and rubbed it carefully. "How can I make the decision about the Royal Grandmother's affairs? The Royal Grandmother is old, so I can only follow her wishes to make her feel at ease, right?"

"That's true." Wu Xian pressed her soft fingers on the man's shoulder and said, "Your Majesty is a king, busy with all kinds of affairs every day. You are also a grandson, so you must be filial to your parents. In short, your Majesty has worked hard..."

He curled his lips slightly and squeezed her hand, "Anyway, my beloved concubine can share my worries, and I can also feel relieved a lot..."

Once the Queen Mother made a decision, even the Emperor could not change it, and he had to use the name of a concubine in the harem to make her feel at ease. Otherwise, it would be bad to leave a reputation of being jealous.

Wu Xian stayed in the front hall all night and did not come out of the main hall until the next morning when Ning Huaixuan attended the morning court.

"Oh, your Majesty, His Majesty said that Chunhua Garden is too far from here, and asked you to move to Xiahua Garden which is closer to the Central Palace." The eunuch reported this matter with a happy face, and then waved his hand to summon a few eunuchs, "You guys, serve your Majesty well."

Turning back to Wu Xian, he said, "This is also what His Majesty has pointed out to the Queen. None of the other concubines have ever received such treatment as the Queen..."

Wu Xian touched the Dongzhu hairpin on her head and said with a smile, "Really? Then I must thank your Majesty very much..."

After he led his men away, the eunuch heaved a sigh of relief, "This master... is really hard to serve..."

Outside the imperial city. In the woods on the outskirts of the city.

A carriage slowly stopped outside a bamboo forest, and a woman got off the carriage. She was wearing a gauze hat... Her face couldn't be seen clearly, but looking at her graceful figure and the two maids behind her, it was clear that she must be a woman from a wealthy family in Kyoto.

"Miss..."

"Be quiet..."

The woman spoke, her voice was rare and indifferent, "You two just wait here for me. If someone comes, you know what to do..."

"Yes."

The bamboo forest is dense. Fortunately, not many people come here because it is on the outskirts of the city. The traces of horse-drawn carriages have accumulated layer upon layer over the years.

Finally, I saw the man's back in the dense bamboo forest, "Didn't I tell you... we don't want to meet again in the future..."

Under the white veil, was the face he had been thinking about day and night. After hearing the voice, the man turned around suddenly, and it was clearly the face of an extremely elegant scholar.

"Ah Hui... after so many years of friendship, how can I let you go so easily?"

As he said this, he reached for the woman's hand. But she dodged him, "It's impossible between you and me. Perhaps we should have understood this when we decided to spend our lives together..."

"What's impossible?! I don't believe it, Ah Hui. You don't like the emperor. I'll take you away. Let's go far away and never come back to Kyoto, okay?" He was seeking her opinion, asking her to give up everything and live an uncertain future with him.

He Hui let go of her hand and shook her head, "I have a family, parents and brothers, I will not go with you. If I elope with you, will the rest of the charges be borne by my He family?" The palm under the gauze seemed to have lost its temperature, and there was a dull pain in the heart.

The man's eyes were slightly red, and he held her hand affectionately, "Ahui, how about you leave me alone?"

Thinking about the days without He Hui, it is no exaggeration to say that she is in agony. "We have been together for so long. If you enter the palace, we will never see each other again!"

"Then let's not see each other again!" He Huimeng opened her hands, "If you had passed the imperial examination and came to my house to propose marriage earlier, perhaps we wouldn't have ended up like this..."
