The Nanxun Hall was full of fragrant clothes and temples. Li Sixu followed Eunuch Gui into the hall and smelled the pleasant fragrance of powder.
The palace was filled with flowers, and there were so many concubines of her father's emperor that Li Sixu couldn't recognize them all.
Turning around the screen, she saw a concubine sitting next to the queen, dressed in gold and brocade, with a brocade-trimmed fur cloak covering the skirt.
When Li Sixu entered the palace, she was talking to Queen Wang with a respectful expression.
"It's too cold in Luoyang Palace. I have been raised in the palace for a year, and my body and bones have not healed much. Even though there is a charcoal fire in this room, I still feel chilly."
She coughed weakly: "It's not like it's cold in spring, but it's cold at first. I've always been weak, so I can only take care of this broken body."
"It's been a hard journey, Concubine De!"
Queen Wang said with a smile: "Since I just returned to the palace today and I am not feeling well, there is no need to rush to Nanxun Hall to say hello."
"Today is the day when the concubines of the harem come to pay their respects to the Queen. I have not been in front of the Queen for a long time. Now that I have returned to the palace, the rules cannot be broken."
The concubine who was talking to Queen Wang had a coquettish look and was very attentive in her words. However, Li Sixu, based on her familiarity with Queen Wang, always felt that although the Queen was smiling, her expression was obviously somewhat different when talking to her. Impatient.
When Yang Guibi shouted, Queen Wang smiled happily when she saw Li Sixu coming in behind Eunuch Gui.
"Come to the Queen Mother quickly!"
"Sisi has met the queen mother and all the empresses."
After Li Sixu saw the ceremony, Queen Wang held her hand with a loving look on her face: "Concubine Xian said that you sent Wei'er and Yun'er to Chongwen Pavilion, why did you come to the Queen Mother's side?"
"It's still early to send off the Twelfth and Thirteenth Emperor's brothers."
Li Sixu smiled sweetly: "Sisi thought that she hadn't come to say hello to her mother for several days, so she took a detour before going to the Taiyuan Hospital."
"The wife of Chongwen Hall complained to me a few days ago. I was about to ask about the twelfth prince and the thirteenth prince studying in Chongwen Hall. The virtuous concubine Yang Guibin, a talented man, is staying. You can leave now. Go!"
The queen looked calmly at the concubine beside her: "Concubine De is tired from traveling and traveling, so she should go back and rest early."
"Then I won't bother you anymore!"
Before leaving, Concubine De looked at Li Sixu, who was being led by the queen: "Is this the tenth princess? Vaccination was performed in Luoyang. I have heard about the name of the tenth princess for a long time. I was in a hurry to return to the palace today and didn't have time to organize the things I brought from Luoyang. Gadgets back.”
She put down the coral bracelet she was wearing in a friendly manner and said, "This coral bracelet will be worn by the tenth princess first."
After Li Sixu entered the palace and heard her talking to Queen Wang, she had already guessed that the person in front of her was Concubine Qian De who was recuperating in Luoyang and had obviously just returned to the palace today.
In front of Queen Wang, she suddenly showed her kindness, which made Li Sixu stunned for a moment.
Seeing that Queen Wang didn't react at all, she took the bracelet and smiled sweetly: "Thank you for this gift from Concubine De."
"The peony cakes in Luoyang are good. Once the luggage is settled, I will send some to Linglongju."
Concubine Qian De spoke a few words to Li Sixu in a friendly manner, and then left with the concubines Shi Shiran. When only the virtuous concubine Gao Caicai and concubine Yang Guifei were left in the palace, the queen asked the serving maids to leave as well.
She held Li Sixu in her arms: "What do the sisters think about Concubine De's return to the palace?"
"She has calmed down her temper and is no longer as arrogant and domineering as before."
Concubine Xian snorted coldly: "She has finally grown a brain, and she doesn't dare to act arbitrarily based on the emperor's favor."
Yang Guibin answered: "What Sister Xian Fei said is true, but my younger sister thinks that it is scary if she can restrain her temper. This time she returned to the palace, but she got the emperor's approval."
"The Sacred Heart is unpredictable!"
Yang Guibin was worried: "I don't know what our emperor means by this?"
"What's the point? It's all about the troops coming to block it, and the water coming and the soil covering it up. I hope Concubine De has really grown up her brains when she returns to the palace this time, and her attentiveness in front of the empress is not a lie..."
She stayed in Nanxun Hall and talked to Li Sixu for a few more words. After all the concubines had dispersed, Concubine De changed from her weak look in the hall, and the sick look on her face disappeared.
Ran'er, the palace maid who was following her, asked curiously: "I wonder, I wonder, why did the empress give the tenth princess a coral bracelet in front of the queen?"
"How can I ask Yan'er to deliver peony cakes to Linglong Residence without delivering coral bracelets in front of the Queen?"
Concubine De glanced at Ran'er with an unpredictable expression.
Ran'er suddenly realized: "Your Majesty, this is paving the way for the fourth prince to approach the tenth princess."
"Not too stupid!"
Concubine De analyzed it for her: "When I was still in Luoyang, when I heard what happened at the Lantern Festival Lantern Festival, I knew that the tenth princess was very popular with the queen. Only giving her a coral bracelet in front of the queen would not have ulterior motives. "
"When Yan'er comes to deliver peony cakes to her, it won't look out of place."
"The tenth princess is smart and smart. She is very close to the sisters in this palace. She must be very willing to be friends with Yan'er."
Concubine De's eyes were deep and she said: "I was talking about being cold in the Queen's Nanxun Hall today. During the time I was locked up in the Luoyang Palace, it was really cold to the bone."
The palace maid Ran'er naturally knew that what her mother-in-law said about being cold was not that she had no clothes to protect her from the cold, but that she was left in the cold palace of Luoyang for more than a year and was disheartened.
"I no longer want to live the desolate days of being left out in the palace, like living in a cold palace. After being locked up in the Luoyang Palace for so long, I finally figured out a reason."
Ran'er supported Concubine Qian De and listened to her carefully.
Concubine De looked at Taiye Lake in the distance: "That means you can no longer be arrogant and domineering. If you want to gain a firm foothold in the palace and climb to a high place, you must know how to understand the holy will."
Ran'er asked Concubine Qian De: "The Sacred Heart is unpredictable, what is your Majesty's intention in calling the empress back to the palace?"
"Anyway, you won't suddenly feel pity for me!"
Concubine Qian De sneered: "Maybe the Queen has moved his fancy and wants to use me to check and balance the Queen. If he wants me to be a knife in his hand, then I will do as he wishes."
"A barking dog never bites, and Wu Jieyu is the one who keeps silent. In a hurry, the queen who has accumulated a lot of dignity in the palace will fall into trouble."
got windy!
After seeing enough of the scenery beside Taiye Lake, Concubine Qian De asked Ran'er to help her walk forward: "The snipe and the clam are fighting, and the fisherman benefits. Wu Jieyu's move has consumed the prestige that the queen has accumulated over the years."
"What can the Queen rely on in the palace? She has no children, but the Wang family's affection for supporting the Emperor to ascend the throne, and the prestige accumulated over the years, but now that the prosperity is peaceful, these will eventually be slowly exhausted. "
"There are so many beauties in the palace. The emperor can share adversity with her, but he may not be willing to share wealth and prosperity with her."
