After being forced to attack four old enemies

Qianqing Palace, the empress dowager's bedroom.

Xiao Shuyan was sitting in front of the bronze mirror, asking the maid to comb her hair into a bun.Xiao Shuyan's niece, Xiao Lianlian, was standing beside Xiao Shuyan, with her hands folded in front of her body, her expression was reserved, and she looked in awe of the Empress Dowager from her appearance.

At this moment, the maid who was combing Xiao Shuyan's bun accidentally pulled her hair, and her face turned pale with fright.Xiao Shuyan raised her eyebrows, and with a "hiss", she slapped the maid on the face in return.

"Crack!", an incomparably crisp voice echoed in the palace, the maid's white and tender cheeks quickly turned red and swollen like palm prints, the maid fell to her knees on the ground, not daring to say a word.

Xiao Shuyan hates the noise from servants.

Xiao Shuyan said coldly: "Go and receive the reward yourself."

"Thank you, Empress Dowager." The maid left quietly, and soon another maid came forward to take over the maid's errand.At this moment, Xiao Lian stepped forward and whispered: "Auntie, let Lian Lian come."

"You?" Xiao Shuyan looked up and down at Xiao Lian.Xiao Lian's frail body seemed about to be pierced with holes by Xiao Shuyan's sharp eyes.Xiao Shuyan then smiled, her smile was charming and kind, as if the sharpness just now was an illusion.

She said: "Then let Lian Lian come, Lian Lian has the heart to honor my aunt, how can I, as an aunt, not appreciate it?"

Xiao Lian stepped forward.With soft and dexterous hands, she quickly combed Xiao Shuyan's hair and picked out a few matching hair accessories.She has a good eye, and the jewelry she picked out matches her hair bun and fits her makeup, making Xiao Shuyan's charming face even more beautiful.

Xiao Shuyan stared at the bronze mirror for a long time, then smiled with satisfaction, turned her head and looked at Xiao Lian with a smile: "Lian Lian's hands are indeed very clever."

At this time, Xiao Lian returned to her reserved and respectful demeanor, and replied in a soft voice: "Lian Lian has combed mother's hair in a bun since she was a child."

She paused, then hesitated and said: "When I see the Queen Mother, it's like seeing my mother. I feel very kind..."

Xiao Shuyan took Xiao Lian's hand and stroked it: "Good boy, really good boy. You treat me like a mother, and I can't treat you badly. Take this bracelet."

Xiao Shuyan took out an emerald green bracelet from the bottom layer of the dowry. The bracelet was moist and verdant, and it could be seen at a glance that it was very expensive.

Xiao Lian looked flustered and said: "Queen Mother, this bracelet is too expensive, Lian Lian can't accept it!"

Xiao Shuyan took Xiao Lian's hand, and put the bracelet on Xiao Lian's hand.The white and tender slender hands paired with the emerald green bracelets full of water are really beautiful, Xiao Shuyan looked at the hands of this young woman and shook her head.

She smiled and said, "It's so pretty, this hand is even more beautiful than Bengong's when he was young."

Xiao Lian said weakly: "How can Lian Lian's posture compare with the Empress Dowager's peerless appearance?"

Xiao Shuyan carefully looked at Xiao Lian's eyebrows, the slender willow leaf eyebrows, the big and moist eyes, and the graceful posture, even she felt pitiful and cute.

Xiao Shuyan's expression flashed imperceptible jealousy, and she smiled: "My good boy, we will be a family from now on."

Xiao Lian blushed and lowered her head.

Xiao Shuyan's eyes suddenly became sharp, and she said in a deep voice: "My good boy, your father was killed by His Majesty, do you hate His Majesty?"

Xiao Lian shook her body and fell to her knees on the ground. Because of too much force on her knees, she knocked on the ground with a crisp sound.

"Lian Lian dare not, Lian Lian does not hate His Majesty!"

Xiao Shuyan looked at Xiao Lian's frail figure, and sighed: "Aijia doesn't blame you, if you hate His Majesty, you should. But Aijia warns you, do what you should do, serve Your Majesty well, and take care of His Majesty as soon as possible. Breeding dragon species. Don't let the Ai family and the courtiers waste their time sending you into the palace!"

Only when she is pregnant with a dragon seed, preferably a boy, can she be controlled by the Ai family.Only then can she have the chance to regain control of the government!

The corners of Xiao Shuyan's mouth curled up, and the light in her eyes flickered slightly.

Xiao Lian lowered her head, unable to see her expression clearly, she could only hear her voice, weak and obedient.

"Lian Lian knows."

Xiao Shuyan sighed, and continued: "Your Majesty didn't come last night, so don't be discouraged, why not be bold and take the initiative to find His Majesty. With your looks, it must not be difficult to win His Majesty's favor."

Xiao Lian lowered her head, she could only see the blush floating on her fair ears, she was obviously shy, her voice stammered: "Your pity do your best."

……

After hearing the news that Emperor Yan was going back to his dormitory, Xiao Lian asked someone to carry the cakes to the outside of Tianyuan Hall, which was the dormitory of Emperor Yan.

"Brother guard, I want to bring some snacks to His Majesty." Xiao Lian said to the guards who stopped outside Emperor Yan's bedroom.

The guards guarding Emperor Yan's bedroom faintly felt that this scene was somewhat familiar.

The guard said: "Wait a minute, girl, I will report."

"Thank you, brother guard." Xiao Lian nodded, and asked the maid to take out some silver and handed it to the guard guarding the door.

Since Xiao Lian's family suffered an accident nine years ago, she has been reduced from a popular family to a commoner.And because his father was branded as a treacherous minister for harming the country, Xiao Lian's family became an existence that anyone could step on.If it weren't for the Queen Mother's secret care and help, Xiao Lian's appearance would have caused many disasters!

Xiao Lian's mother died of illness not long after her father's death.Xiao Lian had to support the family by herself, struggling to survive.In such an environment, Xiao Lian has learned to use her own advantages to seek benefits, show others weakness, and is better at managing relationships.

For Xiao Lian this time, entering the palace is a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity, so Xiao Lian is determined to seize this opportunity, cling to Emperor Yan, and become the master envied by everyone!

For this reason, she spent a lot of money and did not hesitate to spend money to manage the relationship between the upper and lower palaces.As long as she can successfully get close to Emperor Yan, all this will be worthwhile.

As for the Empress Dowager's mind, Xiao Lian naturally knew what the Empress Dowager's plan was, it was nothing more than using her belly to give birth to a dragon seed, waiting for an opportunity to plot to overthrow His Majesty and regain power.

But if she climbed the big tree of Emperor Yan, why would she have to endure the mercy of the Queen Mother?As long as she can be favored by Emperor Yan, or even become a queen, she will be the most honorable woman in the harem.

Xiao Lian lowered her eyes, and her long eyelashes blocked the surging ambition and desire in her eyes.

However, what Xiao Lian did not expect was that when the guard guarding outside the bedroom saw the maid handing over the silver tael, his expression turned serious. Not only did he reject the silver tael, but he also warned Xiao Lian seriously: "Miss, please take back the silver tael, don't take it away." Bring the set from outside the palace into the palace.”

Xiao Lian's face turned red to her ears in an instant, the strong sense of shame and indignation almost made her unable to stand still, she forced a smile, tears welled up in her eyes: "Lian Lian knows."

When he said this, his nails almost dug into the flesh of his palm.

The guards around Emperor Yan are all rough men who have been tempered in the battlefield. They can see the thoughts of Xiao Lian's little daughter. They don't know that they have offended Xiao Lian thoroughly, and said: "It's good to know."

After the guards went to report, the blush on Xiao Lian's face gradually faded. She calmed down and comforted herself, as long as she can see Emperor Yan, it's fine, and it doesn't matter if she suffers some humiliation...

Without waiting for a moment, Xiao Lian saw an eunuch walking out of the palace.Judging from the material of his clothes and his calm attitude, Xiao Lian could conclude that this eunuch must be someone close to Emperor Yan.

Xiao Lian's eyes lit up, and he took a small step forward and asked, "But Your Majesty called me in?"

The eunuch He Shuang glanced at Xiao Lian, and smiled politely: "Your Majesty asked the girl to wait at the door."

"Ah, okay." Xiao Lian blushed again when she heard that, she just felt that today was ugly enough.Seeing He Shuang walking outside, she asked, "Where are you going, father-in-law?"

Without pausing, He Shuang said with a smile, "Follow His Majesty's will to pick up someone."

Xiao Lian didn't ask any more questions, and honestly waited outside the palace.Emperor Yan asked her to wait outside, and now he asked his father-in-law to pick her up, presumably to discuss important matters with the courtiers.After discussing the important matters, she will be let in.

As long as you can see Emperor Yan, all the waiting and sacrifice will be worth it.

Xiao Lian waited here for about a while to touch the incense sticks before he heard footsteps coming from the corridor.

I don't know who the person from His Majesty is?

Thinking of this, Xiao Lian raised her eyes and looked in one direction curiously.

He Shuang walked in small steps to lead the way for the people behind him, turning his head to chat with people from time to time, and seemed to be very friendly and respectful to the people behind him.

Looking at the person behind He Shuang, he was wearing a moon-white inner suit and a light blue coat on the outside.The hem of the coat is embroidered with the pattern of orchids and calamus with white silk thread, the pattern is exquisite.There is also a belt of the same color around the waist, which outlines the slender waist of the person.The outermost one is covered with a light blue gauze, and the gauze swings with the walking of the visitors, making it appear dusty.

They are not official uniforms.

Xiao Lian was taken aback for a moment, then looked at the face of the person who came.

A slap-sized fair cheek, delicate and delicate features, not as good-looking as her.But that person's eyes were as bright as stars, and as black as obsidian. The tails of his eyes were slightly raised, and his eyes were full of vigor and charm.

Xiao Lian didn't know who the visitor was, so it was inconvenient to say hello hastily, so she stood aside and watched He Shuang lead this person into the hall.

He Shuang and that person ignored Xiao Lian who was standing at the door of the bedroom, as if Xiao Lian was just a puppet standing at the door of the bedroom.When entering the palace gate, Xiao Lian heard He Shuangdao——

"Master Fox, please."

Mr. Fox, who else is there in this harem!Xiao Lian instantly understood the identity of that person, he was the male favorite who was deeply loved by Emperor Yan.She was left hanging at the door by Emperor Yan, and Emperor Yan specially invited his male pet to the bedroom, such a humiliation!

Xiao Lian only felt grief and indignation, his face turned green and pale, and he almost fainted.

……

Hu Xinghe got up a little earlier today than yesterday.

As usual, he copied the book for an hour under the supervision, went to visit Kuaihao Guoer again, ate a roast chicken at noon, and the afternoon passed without a whimper.

He originally didn't intend to go to Emperor Yan's bedroom today, so as not to give Emperor Yan the impression of striving for favor.I thought that today would be spent peacefully and comfortably in this way, but when it was time for dinner, He Shuang, the servant of Emperor Yan, came to the Liuli Palace.

"Young Master Fox, His Majesty summoned you to Tianyuan Hall for dinner."

Hu Xinghe frowned, hesitated for a moment: "Does Your Majesty have roast chicken? I want to eat roast chicken."

He Shuang: "..."

He Shuang smiled and said: "Yes, yes, roast chicken, steamed chicken, roasted chicken, as long as you want Mr. Fox."

Hu Xinghe followed He Shuang. In recent days, Emperor Yan had often seen him, reaching the frequency of seeing him once a day.People who don't know think that Emperor Yan loves him a lot.

However, Emperor Yan's love for him has indeed increased a little, since he slept with Emperor Yan, Hu Xinghe's spiritual power has increased again, and his appearance has also become a little more delicate, he can already be called handsome.

But this petting is not enough.

If he wants to complete the task entrusted to him by the heavens, Hu Xinghe needs more than this kind of favor.He was very greedy, he wanted Emperor Yan's whole heart, and he wanted Emperor Yan to die for him willingly.

But these Hu Xinghe can only think now, if he ran to Emperor Yan to ask Emperor Yan to sacrifice himself to return to his body, Emperor Yan would send him back to the heaven first.

Thinking of that scene, Hu Xinghe suffocated for a while.

Soon arrived at Tianyuan Hall.

When Hu Xinghe saw a person standing outside Tianyuan Hall, he couldn't help but take another look.He Shuang noticed Hu Xinghe's gaze, and said with a cheerful smile, "Young Master Hu, this is the Empress Dowager's niece. Your Majesty asked her to wait outside, and asked me to call you over."

Fox Xinghe: "..."

Did Emperor Yan purposely make enemies for him!
