It was seven days later that Chu Luo and Yan Ji returned to the palace.

In the past few days, all the little masters of the Six Palaces who received the news were looking forward to the emperor's return. As the queen, Li Shushen naturally couldn't help but stand by the city tower when he had free time and watched anxiously, and remained unmoved no matter how others persuaded him.

That day, she had just returned to the palace and had lunch when a little eunuch hurriedly lifted her clothes and rushed in.

"Empress, Empress, the Emperor is back!"

Upon hearing this, Li Shushen put the spoon in his hand and immediately stood up and said, "Really?"

The little eunuch leaned on the ground and kept kowtowing, "It's true, the emperor is at the gate of the city, but... but..."

Seeing him stammeringly, the queen frowned and said impatiently, "It's just what?"

The little eunuch was frightened and immediately put his head on the ground, not even raising it, "It's just...but...the emperor...the emperor also brought a woman back..."

When the queen heard this, she changed color and ignored everyone's support and wanted to go out, "I'll go and take a look!"

"Oh, Empress, it's cold outside-"

Yuzhi chased behind the queen, holding a green silk white sable coat in her hand and murmured, "What's the hurry of Empress? It's not too late to go after you finish your meal."

The Queen said that Yuzhi had never heard of her words. She was anxious and sent a sedan chair to her and immediately ordered, "Go to Mingde Palace."

In Mingde Palace, everyone was surrounded by people, and it was very lively. Chu Luo held Yan Ji's hand and walked in front, Cheng Dehai and He Sheng followed behind them, and behind them were bustling with a group of eunuchs and palace maids, all of whom were surrounded by them, all of whom went to Mingde Palace.

This is the first time in Song Yanji's life that she stepped into the imperial palace of Da Chu.

Mingde Palace takes the position of star movement and uses natural terrain to build the palace to form a relatively independent hall. There are imperial guards on the east and west sides of the palace city, and there are special commanding mechanisms for imperial guards in the city. As soon as Yan Ji entered the hall, she was shocked by the situation in front of her.

A black nanmu plaque is hung on the top of the red vermilion gate, with the three big characters "Mingde Palace" written on it. The double-eaves of glazed tiles, the vermilion door, and the same foundation. The inner columns of the hall are supported by a number of red giant pillars, each column is engraved with a lifelike golden dragon, which is particularly spectacular. The sandalwood on the top of the glowing hall is made of beams, crystal jade bi as lamps, pearls as curtains, and fan gold as pillars. A six-foot-wide agarwood wide bed is hung with a shark silk treasure tent, and the wind blows the gauze, like falling from the clouds and mountains and seas.

Yan Ji was stunned. Behind her was a group of palace people. When everyone's eyes fell on her, the foreign woman, she felt uncomfortable all over. Chu Luo could see Yan Ji's embarrassment at this time, so he waved his hand and signaled Cheng Dehai to take everyone down.

At that time, only Chu Luo and Song Yanji were left alone in the main hall of Mingde Palace.

Chu Luo sat on the golden lacquer dragon throne, smiling at Yan Ji, stretched out a hand to her, "Come and sit."

Yan Ji raised her head and looked at Chu Luo, and saw him sitting upright in the hall, exuding a kingly spirit that looked down on the world. Only at this time did she firmly believe that the person she married was the emperor and the king of the world.

Yan Ji held his hand and sat down beside him. As soon as she sat down, a eunuch came to report that the Empress had arrived.

Yan Ji hesitated and looked at Chu Luo, and Chu Luo said warmly in her ear, "Don't be afraid, it's the queen." After that, he said loudly, "Let her come in."

While thinking, the queen had slowly walked into the hall.

As soon as she entered the hall, she saw a woman sitting on the dragon throne with the emperor, and her heart trembled violently. She resisted the jealousy in her chest, and still did not lose her dignity and politeness, and quietly said, "The emperor has many blessings."

Chu Luo concentrated slightly and said politely, "How is the queen lately?"

When the emperor asked about himself, a hint of joy flashed between the queen's eyebrows and replied respectfully, "I am thanking the emperor's concern, everything is fine."

Chu Luo's face was gentle, leisurely and calm, "The queen is right. I just want to discuss with you about Yan Ji."

The queen's smile froze at the corner of her mouth. She looked up at Song Yanji sitting beside the emperor. The woman also looked at her with a blank look on her face, and her heart suddenly became tight.

Yan Ji, Yan Ji, is really a name that charms Jun Xin.

However, no matter how angry Li Shushen was, he could not show it to his face. She was the queen personally appointed by the emperor and the empress dowager, so she naturally knew how to be sensible in everything. Her expression was peaceful and her voice gradually lowered, "What position does the emperor want to give to her sister?"

Chu Luo replied calmly, "I think Concubine Jie is good?"

Li Shushen was stunned again.

Back then, Zhong Yuxiu was the only daughter of the Shangshu, and Rongpeng entered the palace, and she got only a beauty. Zhao Nanyan served for many years and had a princess, but she was just Ronghua. Now, Song Yanji, who was rushing forward, wanted to be above several people. Isn’t it too unruly?

The queen suppressed the depression in her heart and mouth and comforted her sincerely, "I think my sister has just entered the palace and has little experience. It is better to be granted the title of a beauty and be promoted in the future."

When Chu Luo heard this, he looked displeased on his face.

"The queen doesn't have to say much, I've made up my mind." Chu Luo's words were determined, and there was also the unshakable determination of others. "If the queen has nothing to do, let's go back first."

When the queen saw that the emperor had issued an order to expel guests, she felt sad. When she thought about Zhong Yuxiu, she had to raise her head again and faced the emperor Qi Ran, "Zhong Zhaoyuan just gave birth to the emperor's concubine, if the emperor..."

"I understand, I will go see her when I have time."

The queen's sentence was suddenly interrupted and she could not speak anymore. She seemed to be helpless and sad, and her voice was confused and weak, "I will leave."

As soon as she walked outside the hall, she saw several small eunuchs running towards the apse of Mingde Palace with big red grosgrain. When they saw the queen, they hurriedly knelt down to greet her, "Empress Jin An."

The queen nodded slightly, staring at a hint of redness in their arms, and a trace of doubt flashed in her eyes, "What are you in a hurry to do?"

After hearing the queen's question, the two little eunuchs kneeling on the ground looked at each other, lowered their heads, but refused to answer.

Yuzhi, who was standing beside him, couldn't help but feel angry and asked loudly, "Where is the Queen asking you? Didn't you both hear it?"

The two of them looked at each other silently again, hesitating for a long time, and finally, the young eunuch in charge of the leader replied, "Go back to the queen, it was the emperor's order... and say... I will marry the new little master tonight... and let the servants arrange the inside..."

As soon as this said, the queen was shocked and staggered. Fortunately, Yuzhi held her tightly beside her, so she was lucky that she did not lose her composure.

She was silent for a moment and said deeply, "Is this... what the emperor said in person..."

The two little eunuchs kowtowed repeatedly and said hurriedly, "It was the emperor's personal instructions, otherwise the servants would not dare to speak nonsense!"

The queen looked at the bright redness, and tears that could not be suppressed were almost surging out in her eyes.

Such bright red and such favored treatment were not something she could imagine. Even Chen Chang'an, who married into the royal palace as a concubine back then, got married during the day and did not use this kind of seriousness. But now Song Yanji is better than Chen Chang'an.

In an instant, the queen suddenly understood why Chen Chang'an had always locked herself in the Chonghua Palace these days and showed her cold face. She was also not anxious even if the emperor returned to the palace.

She finally understood that in such a situation, anyone would feel sad.

She closed her eyes for a moment, and her voice was also awkward, "Get up."

As if the two little eunuchs were granted a general amnesty, they hurriedly kowtowed to the queen and hugged the brocade to the back hall.

After the two left, Yuzhi was still indignant and said angrily, "Empress, this little concubine is really ignorant of the rules. This is obviously going to cause trouble!"

The queen turned her head and looked at her, still angry, "You're calling me first before the title of the title?"

Yuzhi was frightened and didn't dare to say much.

The queen's soft satin sleeves quietly retreated to her white wrist. She stroked the beads on her wrist, and her words became more sour, "It's better for this Yan Ji to be there, so that the emperor can leave some of the favors of Concubine Chen, so that the emperor no longer cares about her."

When Yuzhi heard this, she couldn't help but hesitate, "That's right, but..."

"This is Mingde Palace, don't say it again." The queen interrupted her coldly, said softly with a gentle voice, and said calmly, "I am the queen. No matter who the emperor favors, I cannot be jealous. This is the queen's duty."

After Li Shushen finished speaking, his heart suddenly felt a little cold.

Her life was trapped in the identities of "Queen" and "Princess". Because she was the queen and the lord of the harem, no matter who the emperor liked, she should show her due magnanimity. Because it seemed that in the eyes of the world, this was her duty.

When she was alone in the empty room, she looked out of the window and saw Chen Chang'an's smile. At that moment, her heart was filled with infinite anger. She waited alone from day to night, and from night to a hundred days, and what she waited for was just a sentence, "The prince is resting at Concubine Shen, the princess should rest early."

How could she not hate her? Her great youth remained in the Lin'an Palace, but she ended up being trampled on by others. So in comparison, she did not resent Song Yanji so much. Instead, she felt a sense of undesirable secret joy in the dark.

Her pain was not her own, and she finally let Chen Chang'an taste this kind of taste. She stripped her beloved from her skin-cut pain around her. Chen Chang'an should have experienced it long ago.

Song Yanji relied on the emperor's favor to do whatever she wanted, which was exactly what Shen Chang'an did many years ago.

Chu Luo likes this kind of woman. She is free, bold and not bound by the world.

This is true for Chen Chang'an, and so is Song Yanji.

After all, he wouldn't like her Li Shushen.

From the beginning, she was destined. She was his cousin and the princess of a country. She was filled with the same royal blood as him and carried the mission of the country, so she was destined not to be like them. In the eyes of others, Li Shushen was the mother of the country and the queen, and had supreme glory, but no one would care about the suffering behind her. She resented her own destiny again and again and complained about the injustice of God.

Li Shushen thought this way, and his smile suddenly became as faint as a wisp of residual clouds in the sky, passing by the wind.

The face is not old, but the heart is already vicissitudes.
