Yun Qi led Bai Yanqing's master and servant out of the Qiyun Palace. Along the long corridor, they walked slowly towards the Chuxiu Palace.
If Bai Yanqing had never been to the palace, she probably would never have seen it in her life. It turned out that what was hidden inside the high wall of the palace was not only the glory and wealth, but also the sorrow of the harem woman's life.
The concubines living in this huge palace have spent their whole lives fighting for the family behind them, fighting endlessly to please the only Supreme One!
…
There has always been a rigid rule in the harem, that is, on the first and fifteenth day of every lunar month, if the emperor has no important business, he must stay in the queen's palace. This is also to consolidate the queen's status and to avoid
In the harem, there are people who are specially favored.
Over the years, the emperor has grown older and has less energy to hang out in the harem. On weekdays, if there is nothing important, he will often go to the queen's palace to sit and have dinner.
On January 1 and the 15th, and at other times, he rarely stayed in Fengqi Palace. But even if it was such an ordinary dinner, in the eyes of the unfavored concubines in the harem, it was...
They have a luxury that is beyond their reach.
…
Bai Yanqing and Yun Qi walked slowly along the long corridor, leaning against the high corner of the palace wall. In the twilight, the two gray figures looked so inconspicuous. Cai Xing also looked far away.
She followed them without disturbing them, and just let them go wherever they went.
The long and winding stone road stretches into the distance. The hurried and busy palace people lit the palace lanterns on both sides of the road early. A breeze blew by, and the palace lanterns flickered on and off.
, the flickering candlelight stretched the figures of Bai Yanqing and Yun Qi even longer!
I don't know how long I walked like this, until a lot of restlessness came from the Chuxiu Palace in the distance, and then Bai Yanqing was brought back to reality from her meditation!
Bai Yanqing raised her head and looked at Yun Qi. When she saw his beautiful lips raised slightly, she knew that the "big show" he was talking about was probably at the Chuxiu Palace!
Yun Qi suddenly took Bai Yanqing's hand, led her, and walked quickly towards the direction of Chu Xiu Palace! Upon seeing this, Cai Xing, who was following far behind, also hurriedly quickened his pace and followed her! When they arrived at Chu Xiu Palace,
During the show, the entrance of Chuxiu Palace was already three floors inside and three floors outside, and many people gathered around it!
Is this...what happened?
Yun Qi stepped forward, holding Bai Yanqing with one hand, pushing the crowd away with the other, and rushed in! Although Bai Yanqing didn't know why, but seeing that he refused to let go, he followed him and rushed in! When they finally pushed aside
When he got through the crowd and rushed to the front, what came into view was the disheveled Chen Xiu, and...the livid face, a bit embarrassed...the emperor!
What is going on?
Emperor? Chen Xiu? What happened?
This is what Bai Yanqing is full of doubts about at this moment, and it is also what everyone present is wondering about! Just when Bai Yanqing didn't know why, someone from behind shouted, "The Queen is here!" Then!
, the crowded crowd consciously made way for a way, and then Bai Yanqing saw Empress Gao with the same stern face!
Empress Gao walked to the front and looked at Chen Xiu, who was disheveled and slumped on the ground. She then raised her head and looked at the emperor who looked extremely embarrassed. Her face was a little uneasy! Her appearance, which she finally lifted up, seemed to
In an instant, it will fall into pieces!
Anyone can see what's going on with this scene in front of them!
However, not long ago, the emperor had dinner in Fengqi Palace, and it was rare for him to show some kindness to Empress Gao. Just when Empress Gao thought that the emperor had forgiven her and forgave her, a few days ago,
Even though Concubine Rong hurt Yun Qi, she happened to cause trouble again just now. Such a thing, where can I put Empress Gao's face?
"This...what exactly happened?"
The scene before her eyes shattered Queen Gao's self-esteem to pieces. However, she still endured the pain in her heart, gritted her teeth, and asked this question.
The crowd, which had been noisy just now, fell silent for a moment, and no one dared to step forward to reply.
Bai Yanqing looked at the embarrassed Empress Gao, and felt a little pity in her heart. Probably, at this moment, apart from the emperor and Chen Xiu, Empress Gao was the only one who was not involved, but she was also the most embarrassing one.
!
"Ah, what happened?"
What Bai Yanqing didn't expect was that at this time, someone would dare to speak out?! Bai Yanqing secretly sweated, and felt worried for the person who spoke out! If you talk too much at this time, you will have to shed a layer of skin even if you don't die.
Right? However, when she looked towards the crowd and saw Yun Ji's familiar face, Bai Yanqing realized that her worries were unnecessary!
"Father? Chen Xiu? What are you..."
Yun Ji's words didn't need to be explained clearly. Everyone present could see what happened!
Perhaps because there were more and more people watching, Chen Xiu's crying became more and more unscrupulous! Chen Xiu collapsed on the ground, raising her sleeves and covering her face, her crying louder than the other!
The emperor's face was obviously a little impatient, and even his eyes looking at Chen Xiu were full of disgust!
"Okay! What a shame for crying!"
The emperor glanced at Chen Xiu with disgust, showing no sympathy at all!
"Father, don't be upset! Wouldn't it be great to have another beautiful woman in your... harem? Are you right? Queen?"
While Yun Ji was smiling and coaxing the emperor, he turned his head and stared at Queen Gao. There was an inexplicable sense of oppression in Yun Ji's eyes, and even Bai Yanqing noticed it!
Yun Ji is forcing Queen Gao to make a choice!
"It's dark today, there are too many people, and the air circulation is not smooth. I feel like I can't breathe smoothly! Father, how about you go out for a walk with me? Are you okay?"
Yun Ji's excuse was really lame! But no matter how lame it was, with so many people present, he was the only one who had the courage and courage to speak out like this! Besides, he was, obviously, giving
He stepped down a step from the emperor! It can also be regarded as rescuing the emperor from this predicament!
"Well, that's fine! I'll go for a walk with you!"
Since Yun Ji had given him this step, the emperor would naturally be happy to step down.
So Yun Ji stepped forward and helped the emperor to go out. Before leaving, the emperor glanced at Chen Xiu on the ground, then at Empress Gao, and then said coldly: "The empress will stay to deal with this matter."
." After that, he took Yunji with him and left!
Before Yun Ji left, he glanced in the direction where Bai Yanqing and Yun Qi were standing, as if casually, and winked at Bai Yanqing quietly. That look was so weird, so weird! Bai Yanqing almost couldn't bear to be offended.
Stop laughing out loud!
Seeing that the emperor was gone, everyone secretly breathed a sigh of relief. No one dared to breathe heavily during the battle just now!
"Tell me, what happened tonight?"
The emperor has left, but the queen has not left yet! So, next is the time for the queen to interrogate Chen Xiu! Perhaps out of concern for the emperor's face, Queen Gao dispersed all the palace guests outside Chuxiu Palace, only
There are a few palace people left who witnessed what happened!
"First Prince? Why are you... here?"
Most of the palace people who were watching the excitement dispersed, and the few remaining people became more and more eye-catching! Empress Gao finally noticed that Yunqi and Bai Yanqing were standing in the crowd! She was a little surprised.
, I wonder why Yunqi and the others appear here!
"Reporting to the Queen, after eating, the little girl had some food and was not feeling well, so she took her Highness out for a walk to eat. Who would have thought that while walking, she walked to the Chuxiu Palace and saw
Here, the lights are bright and the people are bustling, so I thought about coming over to take a look, but I never thought..."
Bai Yanqing stopped talking at the right time. What she didn't say was what everyone saw.
Queen Gao didn't doubt them at all, she just nodded and waved to them, as if she wanted them to leave as soon as possible!
Bai Yanqing is also a sensible person, and it is really not suitable for them to be present at this time. So, she tugged on Yunqi's sleeves, hoping that he would leave with her. But Yunqi was completely different.
Not wanting to leave!
"I don't want to leave..."
Yun Qi grabbed Bai Yanqing's sleeve with his backhand and swung it from side to side, acting like a child acting coquettishly. This actually made Bai Yanqing look embarrassed!
"Your Highness, if the Queen doesn't let us see it, we can't see it. Do you understand?"
Bai Yanqing patted Yunqi's hand, as if coaxing a child!
The two of them were going back and forth, one was coaxing and the other was making trouble, which made Queen Gao have a headache!
"That's all, since the eldest prince doesn't want to leave, then he shouldn't leave!"
Empress Gao was really too lazy to argue with a fool, so she waved her hand and signaled Bai Yanqing not to persuade Yun Qi any more!
When Yun Qi saw this, he stopped making trouble. But no one saw it. He took Bai Yanqing's hand, secretly dug Bai Yanqing's palm with his little finger, and then showed a look of success!
At this time, Bai Yanqing finally understood what big show Yunqi wanted to take her to see today!
"The eldest prince, but he can't bear to leave his daughter? If His Highness doesn't dislike it, the daughter can do it..."
Chen Xiu on the side saw that Yun Qi was stubbornly refusing to leave and was still being sentimental, thinking that he couldn't bear to leave her!
"Shut up, me!"
With a "pop" sound, Empress Gao finally couldn't bear it any longer. She stepped forward and slapped Chen Xiu hard, who had already stood up, until she fell to the ground again!
Looking at Queen Gao who was shaking with anger, Bai Yanqing immediately felt that Queen Gao's anger had reached its peak!
Chen Xiu was not clear with the emperor at first, and now he tried to seduce Yunqi in front of Empress Gao. Only Chen Xiu dared to do this!
"The Chen family is not a small family. How could it teach such a shameless daughter like you? First, you seduced the emperor under the eyes of the queen! Now, in front of me again
Are you trying to hook up with the eldest prince? The daughter of the Chen family is really...well-raised!"
Bai Yanqing glanced at Chen Xiu indifferently, with disgust that could not be concealed in her eyes! The man who dared to seduce her Bai Yanqing in front of her, Bai Yanqing, this Chen Xiu, really couldn't figure out how much he weighed?
"You deserve it?"
Bai Yanqing bent down, looked down at Chen Xiu, and said with disdain again.
On the other hand, Yun Qi timidly hid behind Bai Yanqing after hearing what Chen Xiu said. However, when he heard these words from Bai Yanqing, he suddenly became energetic again!
He suddenly stood beside Bai Yanqing, then put his hands on his hips, his face was filled with excitement, and he looked completely elated at the moment!
Cai Xing, who was standing in the distance, couldn't help stroking his forehead when he saw this scene. He looked completely blind!
Chen Xiu raised her eyes and looked at Yun Qi with a pair of tearful eyes. With such a pitiful look, if she were someone who didn't know better, she would really pity her!
