Empress and Empress

Back in Changchun Palace, Yuan Xingye sent the maid who fell down just now back to the Palace Bureau and asked them to make another arrangement for her.This court lady belongs to Concubine Li Gui, she knew about it a long time ago, Concubine Li Gui didn't want her to meet the queen in private.

But why don't you want her to see the queen?According to the current form, even if she goes to see the queen, it is impossible to form a camp with the queen.Yuan Xingye suppressed the doubts in his heart, thinking that maybe it was just Concubine Li Gui who was suspicious.

Back in Changchun Palace, the sky had already darkened, Yuan Xingye ate hastily and enjoyed the coolness by the pool.

"General, may I still go to see the queen tomorrow?"

Yuan Xingye thought about it, and finally shook his head. Since Concubine Li Gui didn't want her to go, she just didn't want to go. It's not worth offending her because of these things at this time.

"You can just send me a gift to the Queen's Palace tomorrow!" She looked at the lotus in the pond, her tone was indifferent, without a trace of emotion. "Did Concubine De send anything?"

Luo Yan thought for a while, "When she entered the palace, Concubine De sent a fine white marble paperweight."

"What about things?"

"It's stored in the warehouse." Luo Yan said.

"Send this tomorrow, and remember to hand it to the queen in front of everyone."

When Xia Zimo arrived in the queen's palace, Concubine De had already arrived, sitting at the head of the queen and chatting with the queen, the queen listened with a smile on her face, Xia Zimo walked over and bowed.

"Sister came just in time, Concubine De is talking about some interesting things outside the palace with Ben Gong, you come and listen to it." The Queen laughed.With soft eyes, he took Xia Zimo's hand and motioned her to sit by his side.

"Sister De Concubine is good at making the empress happy. Today, the empress looks much better." Xia Zimo said with a smile, "I also want to listen to the stories told by Sister De Concubine. If I think it sounds good, I won't leave."

Seeing the queen let Xia Zimo sit by her side, Concubine De was slightly displeased, but she quickly covered it up, gently waving the silk in her hand, and covered her mouth with a smile. "I don't know what stories to tell, I just listen to the people in the palace to make the empress happy."

So I talked about things outside the palace, mainly talking about folk temple fairs and how the scene is prosperous.Xia Zimo had also been to the temple fair. She had just entered the palace not long ago, so she didn't feel much yearning for it, but the queen was somewhat fascinated.

"I have been in the palace for many years, but I have never left the palace once. Thinking about it, I really missed a lot."

Hearing that the queen was a little depressed, Xia Zimo said with a smile, "Isn't it easy? Wait until we find a chance to beg the emperor to leave the palace in a micro-clothes, and we'll follow along."

Daqi folk customs are open, and the Emperor Yuandi did it many times before the emperor left the palace in micro-clothes.The queen just smiled slightly when she heard that.But Concubine De couldn't help nodding, "What Xia Cairen said is true."

While talking and laughing, the court lady came to report that the female official beside Yuan Cairen, Luo Yan, had arrived. Xia Zimo paused holding the teacup, and then heard the queen say softly, "Tell her to come in."

Luoyan was holding the tray, which was covered with light blue thatch.She saluted the three of them as soon as she entered the door, and she got up when the queen spoke.

"Why did Yuan Cairen call you here?" The queen was as gentle as ever, and she didn't look coldly at this person because he was a concubine and maid of the enemy camp.

"Return to Empress Empress, my master heard that you were ill, and sent a slave to bring medicine."

"Knowing that Empress Empress is not feeling well, why didn't she come here in person, but sent you as a servant." Concubine De asked.

"Reporting to Empress Defei, the master went to the middle palace yesterday, but the maid overturned the gift given to the empress on the way, so he had to go back to the palace and wait for today, but this morning the master was not feeling well and was thinking about the empress, so he sent me here .”

"It's difficult for Yuan Cai to have a heart." The queen laughed.

Xia Zimo heard that Yuan Xingye was feeling unwell, so she unconsciously clenched the silk in her hand, took a few deep breaths before letting go, and looked at Luo Yan, "Oh, I don't know what kind of disease Sister Yuan is suffering from. quick."

"It's just a little wind blowing, it's not a big problem." Luo Yan said. "The master is worried about the health of the empress, so he asked me to bring a wild ginseng." Luo Yan held the plate with her right hand, and pulled off the thatch cloth on it with her left hand.Holding the edge of the tray with one hand, the tray did not move at all.A wooden box was placed on one side of the tray, which contained a thousand-year-old ginseng.On the other side is a white marble paperweight.

"The ginseng was obtained by the master outside the palace. It is a thousand-year-old ginseng. Today, I specially ordered my servant to present it to the empress." Luoyan said.

Concubine De didn't look at the ginseng, but the paperweight beside her. "this---"

"This was given to the master by the concubine De, the master likes to try it out and play with it very much. This morning the master said that it is disrespectful to only give ginseng, but there is nothing else to sell, so I have to borrow flowers to present Buddha." Luo Yan said.

"You slave can speak so well, Changchun Palace will not lack any rare treasures." Seeing that the things she gave were forwarded, Concubine De felt a little embarrassed, and her words became sharp.

"Although there are some things in the palace, but the master feels that the empress is definitely not lacking, and it is too cliché to give them away, so I want to give something that I love, but the empress do not know, the master loves this item very much, so I want to give it to the empress, Show your heart."

"you---"

"Yuan Cairen has a heart, let's put your things down, and let Yuan Cairen take good care of his illness when he goes back. If there is anything missing, tell the Internal Affairs Bureau." The Queen interrupted Concubine De.

"Thank you, ma'am, the servant will leave." Luo Yan retreated quickly.As soon as she left, Concubine De became even more angry, "Empress, look at this---"

"It's okay."

Xia Zimo pretended that it was hot, and picked up a round fan beside him to fan himself in order to think.

She glanced at the paperweight, then at Concubine De who was furious, and couldn't help feeling a little lost.

"What's wrong with my sister?" The Queen noticed that something was wrong with Xia Zimo, Xia Zimo shook his head and said, "I also think Yuan Cairen is a bit too much, even if she belongs to Li Guifei's faction, she shouldn't act like this."

These words happened to speak to Concubine De's heart, and Xia Zimo was much more pleasing to the eye. "It's my sister who knows my heart." All of a sudden, Xia Cairen became a younger sister.Xia Zimo didn't say anything, got up and walked a few steps, picked up the ginseng that Luoyan put on the tray beside him, "This ginseng is really good, the rare wild ginseng, just to nourish the body of the empress."

Yuan Xingye, what exactly do you want to do?Still want to tell her something?Now that the words and deeds of the two of them are seen by everyone and they cannot be contacted, so does she want to tell herself something?

Xia Zimo lowered her eyelids, she hoped she didn't guess wrong.

Coming out of the queen's palace, Xia Zimo took Concubine De for a walk in Taiye Pool, comforting her.Concubine De was not a magnanimous person, so she hated Yuan Xingye even more at this moment.

"Sister, now she is the emperor's favorite concubine, what can we do with her?" Xia Zimo sighed, "If I didn't frame my sister for poisoning me some time ago, I could only be dumb and eat Coptis chinensis."

"This person's heart is really poisonous. My sister, you have such a good friendship with her, and you will be framed."

"It's hard to paint a tiger's skin. It's hard to know people's faces but not their hearts. It's my sister who doesn't know people well, so I can't tell the difference between good and evil." If Yuan Xingye heard these words, what expression would he have?Xia Zimo smiled inwardly. "Now that she's acting like this, I'm really angry for my sister."

Concubine De was originally jealous of Xia Zimo, but now she added some disdain.In her opinion, Xia Zimo must want to have a good relationship with her. After all, Xia Zimo's foundation in the palace is still young. Although he is attached to the queen, he still has no strength. Now he is taking this opportunity to show his favor to her.

"Elder sister is worthless for younger sister." Thinking of this, Concubine De immediately grabbed Xia Zimo's hand and said coldly.Then he put on a smile again, "But if it wasn't for her, there would be no possibility for our sisters to have a heart-to-heart relationship."

"Sister said yes."

For a time, even personally letting go of Buddha was the best friend for many years.
