"As long as she can be smart enough to remain sandwiched between the Queen Mother and the Queen, and stick to the right side without complaining, she will naturally win the Emperor's pity and let the Queen Mother use her as a pawn to squeeze out the current Queen." Xian Ziqian said calmly.
He said, "There are countless beauties in the harem, but they spend all their time and energy on just one man. Is it interesting or boring, but it is definitely helpless."
Liuli stopped talking. In front of her was the Queen Mother's palace gate. She watched the carriage stop in front of the Queen Mother's palace. Then she got off the carriage first, helped Xian Zigen get out of the carriage, and accompanied Xian Zigen into the courtyard of the Queen Mother.
.Everything in sight is still the same as before, nothing has changed. In fact, she has only been gone for a short period of time.
"I've met the princess I like." A maid came forward a long time ago. It was Yurun who replaced Liuli that day. Then she smiled at Liuli and said, "The Queen Mother has been talking about Miss Liuli all morning. Now...
But you are here, but if you don’t come back, the Queen Mother will have to send someone to invite you again.”
Xian Ziqian's heart suddenly skipped a beat, and she had a feeling that nothing good could happen if she came to the Queen Mother's place today. A slave who serves the Queen Mother could see her like this and then treat her like she doesn't exist and talk to Liuli, who is also a slave. This is not a slave.
The sudden idea must have something to do with the Queen Mother.
Liuli also greeted Yurun politely, and accompanied Xian Zigen to the room in front of her, saying in a low voice: "It seems that Mrs. Guan's slaves are guarding the door."
Xian Ziqian's heart sank, with a calm and restrained expression on her face. She walked into the Queen Mother's small reception room. As soon as she entered, she felt a bit cool. If she looked closely, there were two slaves on each side of the door slowly using fans.
She fanned two large basins filled with ice cubes, and then there were slaves beside the Queen Mother gently shaking the fans, so the air in the room naturally became much cooler.
Especially when I walk in the sultry air outside, I immediately feel refreshed.
"Zi Jian has met the Queen Mother." Xian Zi Jian first bowed to the Queen Mother, then slightly reduced the etiquette formality, and said to Mrs. Guan, "Zi Jian wants to say hello to Mrs. Guan."
The voice is gentle and approachable, neither humble nor overbearing, but just right.
Mrs. Guan nodded with a distant expression on her face, and then the Queen Mother smiled and said, "The Ai family is considered your natal family, and you should come back and have a look."
Someone moved a chair for Xian Ziqian to sit down. Liuli stood quietly behind Xian Ziqian, her eyes only falling on the ground in front of her, but her ears were intently listening to the conversation of several people.
"I heard that Xuan Yi hosted a banquet at Zuixian Tower for a very beautiful woman from the Daxing Dynasty. Does the princess she loves know about this?" Mrs. Guan took a sip of tea, looked at Xian Zijian, and said somewhat deliberately, "But that's right.
By chance, I happened to catch up with Yu Cheng, the boy who went out to buy some things for me. I will go to the border tomorrow to see Yu Peng and your sister. I happened to meet him. Come back and tell me, if Yu Peng, the boy, does anything inappropriate.
, the concubines around him will gently remind you that you should also be more careful."
Xian Zijian sat with gentle and submissive eyebrows, and said softly: "It is not good for Zijian to interfere in the affairs of Prince Xuan's Mansion. My husband has already told Zijian. If Zijian asked with jealousy, I'm afraid my husband would think that Zijian was because of
The Queen Mother's intention is intentional, Zi Ling must not do something wrong because of her temporary jealousy."
The Queen Mother smiled and said, "Zi Yuan is still cautious. However, Zi Dao, there is something that the Ai family cannot understand. Can you read it with the Ai family?"
Yurun stepped forward and took a rolled-up piece of paper from the Queen Mother's hand and handed it to Xian Ziyuan. Before Xian Ziyuan reached out to take it, Liuli behind him immediately stepped forward and took the paper from Yurun's hand respectfully.
Handing it to Xian Ziqian, Yu Run was startled.
"After all, she was trained by the Ai family." The Empress Dowager smiled slightly, glanced at Yurun, and said slowly, "You are too young, after all. Zi Yun is the favorite princess who was canonized by the emperor himself, and there is Ai Yun around her.
How could you hand the servant Liuli, who was given to you personally by the family, directly to Zi Daan? This is in front of the Ai family after all. If it were in front of outsiders, wouldn't you laugh at the fact that there is no sensible person around the Ai family."
Yurun's face immediately turned pale with fright, a thin layer of sweat formed on her forehead, and she was frozen and unable to move.
Xian Ziqian took the scroll handed over by Liuli and opened it gently. Her eyes fell on the two words on the right: divorce letter! Her movements also stopped for an instant. The handwriting was familiar to her, it was Xuan Yi's.
And the divorce letter had her own name on it, and it was actually herself that Xuan Yi wanted to divorce. The date of this divorce letter reminded her glaringly, that it was the early morning of the next day after the night she handed over her body to Xuan Yi.
When she woke up at that time, Xuan Yi was no longer there. He could actually write a letter of divorce and leave after taking possession of her body, and he could sleep next to her as if nothing had happened the next day, and last night. Thinking of it.
Lingering every night, thinking of Xuan Yi's whispers in her ears, thinking of those tender touches that she couldn't resist, she wished for a moment that all of this was just a nightmare.
However, how did this divorce letter get into the hands of the Queen Mother? Did Xuan Yi give it to the Queen Mother? Probably not. Xuan Yi would not be so stupid. Even if he wanted to divorce her, he should have given her the divorce letter directly and found someone else.
The reason why she was unclean and unruly was not that the wording of the letter was very boring, yes, it felt boring, as if it were an official document, without anger, blame, indifference, but without the intention of scolding.
Liuli also glanced at those two words, and immediately guessed what they were, and her face changed slightly. Xuan Yi didn't tell her about the divorce letter, but she also had the same doubts as Xian Ziqian.
How could the divorce letter fall into the hands of the Queen Mother?
Xian Ziqian did not read the words above, but got up from the chair, knelt down gently, and her mind was spinning rapidly, thinking about what to do at this time.
"What?" the Queen Mother asked in a gentle tone, "Do you not recognize the words on it?"
Xian Ziqian knew that she couldn't speak casually at this time. The Queen Mother must have thought carefully about it, but she suddenly saw this divorce letter instead of knowing where it came from. Her body trembled slightly, she couldn't
She could speak, but she could shed tears. She could not cry out loud, but she could let the tears fall directly to the ground. She could not read the words above in front of Mrs. Guan, at least not by herself.
I remembered that before my grandmother passed away, she was lying on the bed unable to move because of her physical weakness. She was punished by her mother to kneel in the snowy courtyard because she offended her mother. She did not dare to make any move and could only kneel stiffly. The coldness on the ground forced her to keep
