Chapter 130 Joining the Palace

Xiao Li naturally did not expect that Yuwen Ruocai would come to her at this time. But at this time, she had already received the Queen's order and naturally could not stay at home to entertain Yuwen Ruocai.

So I could only apologize to her: "A Cai, I'm really sorry for you. You finally came here today, but I don't have time to accompany you. But, is there anything special about you here today? Otherwise, can you wait until I come back to the palace and let's make an appointment with you?"

Yuwen Ruocai didn't expect that she would come so badly today. However, since she had already arrived, she had no intention of going back empty-handed.

Isn’t Xiao Li just going to enter the palace? What’s the big deal? At most, she can go with her.

You know, since the person who is going to summon Xiaoli today is the Empress in the Jinfeng Palace. Then Yuwen Ruocai has reason to believe that Xiaoli's trip is mostly for the matter between Prince Wu and Huangfu Haobo.

Yuwen Ruocai could take advantage of this opportunity to go to the Golden Phoenix Palace with Xiao Li. She wanted to see what kind of explanation Xiao Li would give about this matter since the queen had already intervened.

Thinking of this, Yuwen Ruocai smiled gently at Xiao Li: "What is the so-called Empress summoning you to the palace at this time? Why don't I go with you?"

Xiao Li didn't expect that Yuwen Ruocai would say this, but she was really hard to say about this matter.

Seeing the disgusting expression on Xiao Li's face, Yuwen Ruocai suddenly laughed at her: "Ali isn't you worried. If I enter the palace with you, I will be blamed by the Queen? Oh, don't worry, it's not the first time I entered the palace, let alone this time, I insisted on going with you again. So when the Queen knows, she will naturally not be angry."

"Are you sure?" It's not that Xiao Li doesn't believe Yuwen Ruocai. She was just worried that if she insisted on bringing Yuwen Ruocai into the palace, it would be a bad idea to blame the Queen and involve Yuwen Ruocai again.

However, at this moment, seeing the expression on Yuwen Ruocai's face and the calm expression made Mrs. Xiao's heart change: "Ali, for your mother, you might as well let Acai accompany you."

In Mrs. Xiao’s opinion, Yuwen Ruocai is all Xiao Li’s friend, especially at this time, it is always better for the two of them to face the Queen together than one person. If Xiao Li really has that little bit of it and accidentally offends the Queen, there will always be someone around her who can plead for her.

Seeing that Mrs. Xiao said this, Yuwen Ruocai even smiled on her face: "What I said is, Ali, why not just let me accompany you. Along the way, we two can be a companion. During the days you have been away, I actually have a lot of words in my heart, and I want to say them to you."

Since they had already said that, Xiao Li had to nod and agreed: "Okay, A Cai, since you have decided to go with me, then we might as well set off now."

Yuwen Ruocai nodded at her and smiled: "Okay, then let's go quickly."

"I want to go too!" The two of them were about to leave, but Qin Jian suddenly caught up with you: "Miss, let me accompany you. Even if I can't enter the palace, at worst I'll just wait for you to come out outside. Do you think it's okay?"

Xiao Li looked at the piano and sword when she heard this, and then looked at her parents.

But the lady nodded slightly at her and said, "Since Qin Jian wants to accompany you, you might as well bring her with you."

Since my mother had agreed, Xiao Li naturally had nothing to say. What's more, the status and status of the Qin and Sword in Xiao Li's heart are already unparalleled.

So Xiao Li smiled at Qin Jian and said, "Since that's the case, let's go together."

Farewell to his parents, Xiao Li was accompanied by Yuwen Ruocai and Qin Jian, and got on the carriage at his house, and then headed straight for Xuanming Palace.

Along the way, Yuwen Ruocai did not rush to express his thoughts to Xiao Li. So the two of them just talked about some interesting things after they parted. While talking and laughing, they dispelled a lot of the tension in Xiao Li's heart.

After arriving at Xuanming Palace, there were already people waiting for Xiao Li at the palace gate. However, when everyone saw the people who accompanied Xiao Li, Yuwen Ruocai and Qin Jian, they were naturally surprised. Fortunately, there was absolutely no problem with two people sitting in the soft sedan chair in the palace. Qin Jian was just a slave after all, so they walked in with the people in the palace.

After getting into the sedan chair, Xiao Li was still a little nervous.

Yuwen Ruocai looked at her silently taking a deep breath and couldn't help but sneer in her heart. But on the surface, Yuwen Ruocai was very concerned about her: "Ali, look at you, the Queen does not know how to eat people, is it necessary to make you so nervous?"

Xiao Li could only smile bitterly at her when she heard this: "I don't want to be nervous. But you also saw it. I can't control myself at all." Xiao Li originally wanted to tell her the truth, but when she thought about it seriously, she didn't say much in the end.

Anyway, it is good fortune, it is bad luck, it is bad luck. Since Yuwen Ruocai has come with her, she will always know what the final result will be.

Yuwen Ruocai is also a versatile woman, so she still has some understanding of Xiao Li’s mood at this time. If she is in normal times, with her temperament, she will naturally feel a little worried about Xiao Li.

But now the situation is different, because she originally wanted to find Xiao Li for this matter. The reason why she came here with her was just to see her suffer in front of the Queen.

However, at this time, she could never expose the thought in her heart in front of Xiao Li. On the contrary, she stretched out her hand at Xiao Li and comforted her gently: "It's okay, A Li, aren't you still with me? I believe that the Queen summoned you at this time, but she just wanted to understand some things. It should be really not as complicated as you think."

Xiao Li couldn't help but raise her head and smiled at Yuwen Ruocai: "Thank you, A Cai! It feels so good that I can have a friend like you!"

When Yuwen Ruocai heard her words, his heart couldn't help but tremble slightly.

Yes, they are a pair of best friends. Isn’t this what she hopes for in her heart? But now...

For a moment, Yuwen Ruocai couldn't help but laugh at herself in her heart and said, "Acai, Acai, you still say that you are Ali's best friend, but look at what you are doing now. Do you really deserve the word "friend" when you do this?

But in a second thought, when she thought of the many painful hardships she had suffered over the years, her heart couldn't help but become even harder.

Sorry, Ali, I didn’t want to treat you like this. But it’s just a little bit that was, who told you to snatch it away easily as soon as you appeared? What should have belonged to me and my sister?

Since you insist on making us suffer, then naturally I have no choice but to watch you be happy every day.

So, please don’t blame me for this matter! I have no choice but to do this. Who told us to meet the same man?

The man my sister loves, he fell in love with you. But you and me, both fell in love with Brother Haotian.

Since God has long been destined, this is a bad fate. Then, we can only rely on our own means and fortunes. In short, these two men, whether they are sisters or myself, cannot give up.

Soon after, the sedan chair came to the Jinfeng Palace. The two of them fell down the bridge under the service of the palace maids. Then, they were led by the deacon palace maids and came all the way to the palace hall.

As soon as Qin Jian walked to the palace gate, he was stopped by another palace maid who was walking with him: "Miss Qin Jian, this is the palace hall of the empress, so I'll ask the girl to stay. I've asked them to prepare fragrant tea and pastries for the girl, so please wait outside."

After hearing this, Xiao Li stood still and turned around and smiled slightly at Qin Jian: "Qin Jian, just follow this sister's instructions."

Qin Jian had no choice but to noddle at Xiao Li: "Well, Miss, that maid is waiting for you and Miss A Cai here." After that, he retreated all the way with the palace maid.

When Xiao Li turned around again, she saw that in the hall, the Empress was wearing a golden phoenix crown and a red robe. She was sitting on the eight-treasure golden couch in the middle of the hall, waiting for Xiao Li to arrive.

After Xiao Li and Yuwen Ruocai entered the door, the Empress suddenly saw Yuwen Ruocai and was stunned for a moment. But then, the expression on her face calmed down again.

After walking two steps, the two girls hurried to the Queen, then knelt down together, and said with politeness: "My daughter Xiao Li (A Cai) pays homage to the Queen!"

"Well, you two should get up!" But when the Empress saw that there was no special expression on her face, her behavior was full of grace and grandness. She waved her hands at the two girls, and turned around and ordered the palace maids beside her, "Go, show the two ladies a cup of fragrant tea." Then she turned around and ordered the two of them, "You two, sit down quickly."

Although Xiao Li could not see anything from the Empress's face at this time, she was still very nervous in her heart. Therefore, subconsciously, Xiao Li's behavior was also cautious everywhere.

Compared to Xiao Li, Yuwen Ruocai was much more relaxed. She smiled at the Empress and said, "A Cai went to the General's Mansion early this morning. She wanted to chat with A Li to spend a day together. But the Empress passed the oral order to ask A Li to enter the palace. But you also know A Cai's temperament. A Cai was originally a person who loves to join in the fun, so she thought for a while and then came to the palace with A Li. Please don't blame A Cai."

After hearing this, the Empress couldn't help laughing at her: "You kid, you really can join in the fun. Fortunately, the Ai family invited Ali to come today, and there was nothing important. So, since you have arrived, let's stay here with her."

After hearing what the Empress said, Yuwen Ruocai turned his head and laughed at Xiao Li: "Look, A Li, I've said it a long time ago. Even if I insist on following you, the Empress will definitely not be angry."

At this time, Xiao Li was not inconvenient to remain silent anymore. So she raised her head, smiled slightly at Yuwen Ruocai, and replied: "You are right, the Empress is naturally magnanimous."

Afterwards, she turned around and blessed her body slightly at the Queen, and smiled and said, "But I don't know, the Queen asked her daughter to come here today, but did she have any teachings to her daughter?"

In fact, Xiao Li is not a person who likes to beat around the bush. What's more, today, she has already made the worst plans, so at this time, she naturally hopes that the Queen can get straight to the point.

The Empress was very surprised to see that Xiao Li was so direct. But thinking about it, the woman in front of her was really not an ordinary boudoir girl. In her body, she not only possesses the wisdom and decisiveness of a man, but also possesses the wisdom and decisiveness of a man.

Since this is the case, the Queen naturally no longer wants to sell so much to her.

So she suddenly picked up a cup of tea on the table beside her, took a sip, and smiled, "Miss Ali is indeed a straightforward person. Since that's the case, then I'll just learn from the girl. We both are just a little bit easier. It's better to break down the things that Ai's family is thinking earlier, so that the Ai's family can rest assured sooner."

When Xiao Li heard this, she couldn't help but smile at her: "If the Empress has anything, you might as well just say it to the minister. As long as it is something that the minister can do, the minister will definitely follow the order of the empress."

"Yeah." After hearing this, the Empress couldn't help but show a gratified smile on her face: "Ali. In fact, over the years, the emperor has loved you very much. Even the Ai family likes you very much."

After hearing this, Xiao Li quickly stood up and saluted, "Thank you, Empress, for your kindness."
