"Tell me, what should I do if my father only cares about Tanxiang from now on? What should my mother do? She is lonely and devastated by herself, and we can't be by her side all the time."
"Ah Xun, don't think too much. The queen mother is the mother of a country, and she understands some things more deeply than we do."
"is that so?"
"Yes, sometimes we feel aggrieved, dissatisfied, and resentful. In fact, at critical moments, we still feel that it is crucial to protect the most important people, and everything else is insignificant."
Ye Fuxun lay on the back of the person carrying him, feeling much calmer after listening to his words.
"How did you understand this?"
Ji Yannuo almost blurted out, it was my master who told me that I had been confused before. Fortunately, with the guidance of my mentor, those things that I couldn't figure out soon became clear.
"Then, who do you want to protect the most? Me or the emperor?"
"Of course it's you, Ah Xun. Do you still ask?"
"Is that so?"
"yes."
Ye Fuxun didn't ask any more questions. He hugged him obediently and asked him to carry him on his back.
The emperor was far ahead. When he looked back, he asked, "Ah Xun, are you injured?"
Ye Fuxun denied, "No, father, don't worry, my ankle is sprained and it hurts a little, so the prince will carry me on his back."
The emperor slowed down and waited for the two young men.
The two people behind him, one dressed in black, made of jade and gold; the other dressed in red, with a beautiful face, look like a perfect match.
Tanxiang stood next to the emperor and suddenly said, "The prince and the princess are a perfect match. The Ye family is a big family..."
The emperor turned around and took a look. He was clearly angry, and his breath was so cold.
"Why is the emperor looking at me like this?"
The emperor asked angrily, "What do you want to say?"
Tanxiang smiled awkwardly, "I just said it casually. Besides, the princess and the prince are both young people. Looking at their appearance, I think of the sorrow that time flies by and beauty grows old..."
The emperor snorted coldly, "This is the first time I know that you can be so sad about spring and autumn. Wasn't it quite open-minded before?"
"In the past, I was arrogant and didn't know the sufferings of the world."
The emperor said nothing, thinking to himself, a Taoist priest who has been away for three days should look at you with admiration. I see that you are no longer the same person as before. Now your ability is clever words and seduction. With just a few words, you can stir up troubles.
Tanxiang carefully observed the emperor's expression and reaction, knowing that the words he just said touched his nerves.
Not everyone can mention royal matters, especially women.
In this case, she did not dare to say more, pursed her lips, lowered her eyebrows, and looked downcast.
After all, everything has changed. The emperor no longer puts his concubine first in everything; and she has also changed, becoming talkative and eloquent. When she returns, the palace may no longer be peaceful.
I wonder what the queen's reaction would be when she saw the departed Tanxiang come back. The emperor was inexplicably looking forward to it.
He returned to the camp with the woman in white clothes. The concubines were waiting for the emperor to return with a full load, and they were all thinking about what nice things to say to please the emperor.
Who would have thought that the woman who had disappeared for many years, the woman who was considered dead, would come back, she would actually come back...
Everyone turned to look at the queen, thinking that after seeing this scene, the person who should lose his composure first was the head of the palace.
Unexpectedly, the queen stood quietly in front of the concubines. She had no major reaction and looked calm, as if nothing had happened.
"I respectfully invite the emperor to return to camp." The queen made a polite gesture.
"No ceremony." The emperor supported the queen, took her hand, and walked directly to the seat to sit down.
I originally wanted to see if there was any special reaction from her, but I was disappointed that the queen had no special reaction and even looked nonchalant.
The emperor felt a little disappointed in his heart. Something worth looking forward to did not happen, so he was naturally a little unhappy.
He looked at the queen sitting on the deputy seat, and then at the concubines kneeling below, and he was no longer in the mood to speak.
The Queen asked the sisters to take their seats. "You are so trembling and frightened. I don't know if I thought I was punishing you all."
The queen said something to liven up the atmosphere, and the concubines took their seats in order. Their expressions were colorful, but their hearts were filled with anger.
Why this woman? The emperor went out hunting and came back with such a beauty. If he went out hunting every day, wouldn’t there be countless beauties in the palace?
And the queen, why didn’t she react at all?
The emperor went out hunting and brought back a beauty on the way. This is shocking, okay?
But the queen's reaction was too calm, as if the matter had nothing to do with her. Did she forget that when Tan Xiang was there, all kinds of chaos broke out in the palace?
The Imperial Concubine, Xian Concubine and Lian Concubine looked at each other, each speechless. They were still smiling at first, but now they can't laugh. They really can't laugh anymore. One of them forced a smile, and the smile was uglier than crying.
They thought about many possibilities, but they didn't expect this one.
Did the queen eat the wrong thing? Did she arrange this?
It's impossible, no one is that stupid.
Looking at her appearance, she is calm and composed, dignified and graceful from beginning to end.
Maybe it's because she's pretending, she's the best at pretending, she usually deceives countless new people like this, they all think she's easy to get along with, but in fact she can make people frightened when she does it.
There are also several concubines who have never met Tanxiang and only heard some things before entering the palace. At that time, they thought they were all unimportant rumors and should not be fully believed.
I met the legendary people here today. They were full of doubts and puzzlements. They always felt that there was something wrong here, and they didn't know that the queen deliberately arranged to return the imperial concubine to the emperor and the faction was causing trouble again.
It's strange to say that in order to escape, Tanxiang went to all sorts of lengths to escape. She cried, made trouble, and hanged herself several times. She was so tormented that all the powerful officials could not stand up, in order to keep the emperor away from this terrible woman.
In the end, Tanxiang left, and she got her wish. But today, is the sun going to set from the east? Why did she come back again?
So which one caused the commotion back then? Could it be that it was just for fun?
Tanxiang stood among the beauties, waiting for the emperor to speak.
She didn't dare to get up without permission since the Nine-Five Supreme Lord didn't speak.
The queen wanted to laugh, but she didn't know what the emperor was thinking. Tanxiang had been kneeling there and waiting for a long time. He brought a beauty back and didn't introduce her to her. Those who didn't know her were of course surprised.
At this moment, Tanxiang was waiting stiffly, respectfully and not daring to show any slightness.
The emperor said, "Everyone must know me. I went hunting today and caught a lot of prey. I also met an old friend."
Tanxiang thought, then you should let me excuse myself. Her knees hurt when she knelt down.
The queen looked at that scene and felt happy. The emperor must be taking revenge on Tanxiang, the empress Xiang, for her misdeeds back then. She was really an enemy.
