Yan Ji pursed her lips tightly, and she refused to speak.

Leng Xiang couldn't help but protect Yan Ji first and said to Zhong Yuxiu, "Empress Zhaoyuan, let me come."

Yuxiu's eyes were extremely cold, as if she hadn't heard this sentence, she looked straight at Song Yanji with a firm tone, "I'm asking you to go."

Yan Ji suppressed the humiliation and resentment in her heart. She raised her face, and the corners of her lips drew a respectful and decent curve. She turned around and said, "Yan Ji helped Empress Zhaoyuan bring it."

When she presented the tea to Yuxiu this time, Yuxiu took it steadily. She lifted the tea lid and suddenly poured all the hot hot tea on Song Yanji's hand.

"Zhaoyuan!" The queen could no longer see and stopped him.

Zhong Yuxiu smiled with a huge smile and stared at Yan Ji with a bright look, "This cup of tea is what I teach you a lesson. If you are not arrogant, this is the end."

After saying that, she no longer looked at Yan Ji's face and walked out of Fengluan Palace with Lanxiang.

The queen stood at the moment, and saw that Song Yanji had a few terrifying blood blisters burning on her hands, she was also frightened, but she didn't want to interfere in the matter, so she just said calmly, "Concubine Jie, go back to the palace first, and I will send some medicine to Tongxin Palace later."

Yan Ji endured the pain from her hands and nodded softly, "Empress Xie."

At this point, the queen turned around coldly and headed to the inner hall.

Shortly after Yan Ji returned to Tongxin Palace, the emperor also came.

When he came, Leng Xiang was holding a small plate of green ointment and applying medicine to Yan Ji's hand. When Chu Luo saw it, he looked at Leng Xiang and signaled her to go down. He took the ointment from Leng Xiang's hand, dipped his fingers in some ointment, and his gesture fell very lightly on the back of Yan Ji's hand. The ointment was extremely cool. The moment it touched Yan Ji's back, she couldn't help but shiver.

Chu Luo looked at her and sighed softly, "The people in your palace told me the matter just now, you were wronged."

Yan Ji suddenly laughed softly, her eyes clear and clear. She slowly said, "Everyone in your harem is full of human faces and beasts. I really regret it. I would rather not enter this palace at the beginning."

When Chu Luo heard this, his hands stopped moving, and there was a faint look of anger on his face, "You said this, you are angry with me. Chang'an is like this, do you want to do this?"

Yan Ji heard Chu Luo mention Chang'an and sneered even more violently, "You always compare me with Concubine Shen. She is strong in nature and never willing to bow to you, so you are looking for some comfort here, right? You ran out like this on the wedding night. I don't have to think about where you went. If you did such a thing, she would never forgive you." At this point, she stopped, and a trace of sad tears suddenly flashed across the corner of her eyes, and she said in a deep voice, "Only I am willing, only I am willing to give up my free and easy life and come to the palace with you, and I am willing to forgive you when you leave me behind and look for her."

Chu Luo's heart twitched heavily. Yan Ji was right. If it were Chang'an, he would have given up on him thousands of times, but only Yan Ji would have been with him all the time, from beginning to end, the only way.

His hand gently fell on Yan Ji's hairline, and he instantly calmed down. He turned around and sang, "Cheng Dehai!"

Cheng Dehai stood at the door, and when he heard the emperor call him, he immediately trotted in and said, "The slave is here."

"Transfer my will. From now on, Concubine Song will be promoted to Zhaoyi. As for Zhong Zhaoyuan, she will be relegated to Xiuyi and be suspended for one month, waiting for her to be defeated."

Cheng Dehai's heart was trembling, and his knees were trembling. He couldn't help but plead for Zhong Yuxiu, "Emperor, Empress Zhaoyuan is also the mother of the emperor, let alone today's affairs are just an unintentional mistake, so it's definitely not to be like this..."

The emperor looked at him disdainfully, obviously not taking Cheng Dehai's words seriously, and said in a deep voice, "I have only been reduced to one level for the sake of her father's sake. With her personality, this matter must not be an unintentional mistake. Those who intend to destroy the order of the palace should be severely punished, and demoted to the imperial daughter, and it is not an exaggeration to punish the cold palace."

When Cheng Dehai heard the word "cold palace", he was so scared that he shivered. He dared not persuade him again. He hurriedly went down to pass the imperial edict.

Chu Luo turned around and looked at Yan Ji and said, "I have appointed you as Zhaoyi, second only to the Four Concubines. No one can bully you anymore."

Yan Ji smiled coldly, and she couldn't refuse.

After Cheng Dehai passed on the emperor's will, the six palaces were in chaos.

Song Yanji became Zhaoyi after rank sixth rank, second only to the queen and the imperial concubine. Zhong Zhaoyuan, who has always been in the limelight, was demoted to this point and was confined to Yilan's palace, which caused great criticism. Since ancient times, Xuanzong favored Yang Guifei, and now the Emperor of Chu favored Zhaoyi, which is comparable to him.

Shen Changan, who had been living in the palace for a long time, was surprisingly calm when he heard the news, as if he had expected it early, and there was nothing else to say.

But Han Yan beside her couldn't help but feel angry and raised her eyebrows and said sternly, "That Song Yanji doesn't know what ability has, and it makes the emperor favor her like this. She was just a cup of hot tea and became Zhaoyi. It's really unreasonable."

Chang'an listened and Wen Ran said, "Did you say this to the emperor?"

Han Yan curled his lips, and his expression was still unwilling. "The emperor was confused and made such a decision. Let me see, the emperor must be angry with his master and wanted to use others to angry with his master."

When Chang'an heard this, a faint smile suddenly appeared on his lips. Although it was a smile, it was as cold as ice on the broken ice, which made people feel cold. "So what, so what? Even if you are promoted to the position, it is just Zhaoyi. If she becomes the queen one day and goes beyond the palace, it will be the time when I should worry the most."

"Oh, my master, you can't say this." Han Yan was panicked and hurriedly wanted to cover Chang'an's mouth, and said whimperingly, "Song Zhaoyi's petty family is so angry, how can she be the queen? Now the empress and mother Yi Tianxia, ​​this is beyond words."

Chang'an looked at her coldly, and his face was full of contempt, "Hanyan, I remember that you were a person who dared to speak and do things in the past. Why did you become cautious after entering the palace for years?"

After hearing this, Han Yan's eyes became more and more shocked. He sighed unconsciously, "Since I entered Shangfangsi, I have learned my lessons. The palace is full of people and are cautious in their words and actions. This is to protect the master and also to protect the slave himself."

Chang'an was silent, but there was worry in his eyes.

On the first day of New Year's Eve, everyone followed the queen and went to Yongfu Palace to pay tribute to the empress dowager, and Yan Ji was also among them.

After entering Yongfu Palace, the six palaces were assigned to the Empress Dowager to kneel down and bow down to Yan Ji. She also followed the rules in the palace and bowed to the Empress Dowager.

At this time, I don’t know who was speaking quickly, and sneered in the crowd, "She will pretend to be in front of the Queen Mother now. She would not be polite when she saw the Queen Mother a few days ago." Although the voice was small, it still touched the Queen Mother's ears. The Queen Mother gave a wink to the little eunuch beside her. The little eunuch immediately understood, and then heard the sound and pulled the concubine out of the crowd.

The person who spoke was Fang Meiren who entered the palace for the first time. She was so scared that she was so scared that she kowtowed to the Empress Dowager. The Empress Dowager gently turned the jade finger on her finger and said quietly, "The Ai family doesn't listen to anyone in this palace gossip, and they are in front of the Ai family. They really don't understand the rules." After that, she called out softly, "Huizhi."

Huizhi immediately stepped forward, "The Queen Mother ordered."

"Send her to the cold palace, and you're not seeing it."

When Fang Meiren heard this, her face turned pale and said hurriedly, "Grandmaster, Queen Mother, please spare me, I will never dare to do it again, and I will never dare to do it again..."

Everyone sat quietly, as if no one heard her shouts, several guards came in and grabbed her sleeves and dragged her out of the ground.

Chang'an sat down at the bottom, and was frightened to see it, and he lowered his head even lower.

After the concubine's voice disappeared in Yongfu Palace, the empress dowager glanced at Song Yanji who was kneeling on the ground, and slowly opened her lips and said, "Song Zhaoyi, you should get up too."

Song Yanji seemed to be still immersed in the shock just now and did not recover from her senses. She raised her head and looked at the empress dowager steadily and said, "Please ask the empress dowager to be kind and forgive the beauty Fang."

The Empress Dowager picked up the teacup and sneered coldly, "You are a kind-hearted person. They dare not speak, only you dare to speak to the Ai family. When you first entered the palace, you didn't understand the rules. The Ai family forgives you first this time. However, the Ai family wants to tell you that if the people in this palace are not careful, they will lose their heads. You have to remember it."

After saying that, the Empress Dowager didn't look at Song Yanji's face, and glanced at her eyes for a week. Fang frowned and said, "Why didn't you see Zhaoyuan coming?"

Since Zhong Yuxiu was demoted, there was no Zhaoyuan in the palace. Everyone looked at each other and knew that the empress dowager was talking about Zhong Yuxiu, but none of them dared to speak. In the end, the empress took charge of the overall situation and said, "Go back to the empress dowager, Zhong has been demoted to the cultivation ritual and is in custody in the palace."

The empress dowager raised her long eyebrows and said, "What mistake did Zhaoyuan make torture the emperor?"

The empress dowager claimed that Zhong Yuxiu was "Zhaoyuan", and everyone around did not dare to answer, but the queen continued, "It was Xiuyi and Zhaoyi who had a dispute, so..."

Before the queen could finish her words, the queen waved her hand. The queen stopped immediately and stopped talking.

The queen mother's eyes fell on Yan Ji, and she smiled like a icy smile, "It was because of you, girl. The people in the Yongfu Palace always reported good news but not bad news. The Ai family only knew that you were promoted to the position, but they didn't know that Zhaoyuan was punished by the emperor because of you."

As soon as these words were spoken, the concubines around were so scared that they didn't even dare to say anything. Yan Ji knelt on the ground, with a cold face, and stubbornly lowered her head without saying anything.

"You all have parted. The Ai family is not in a good mood today." After the empress dowager said that, he raised his hand to Huizhi. Huizhi knew how to go forward to hold the empress dowager and said to everyone, "Please go back to the palace to rest first."

The queen stood up, and the corner of her eyes fell slightly on the queen. The queen sternly shook her head and lowered her head deeply.
