If Liu Xue had known that such a thing would happen when she met the Empress Dowager, she would never have gone. But now, under the Empress Dowager's " lesson ", Liu Xue's previous efforts had been in vain. She had even been given the title of sinister and cunning.
?? When the empress dowager saw Liu Xue, she was so happy that she forgot everything. She pulled Liu Xue's hand and asked her all sorts of questions. She was a curious baby.
?? "I heard that the emperor didn't spend the night at your place yesterday?”
?? "Yes, I am."
?? Liu Xue was a little at a loss. How did he find out in just one day? Who was it? He was so well-informed. He had the potential to be a spy.
?? "How can the emperor do this?"
?? The empress dowager said angrily as she slammed the sandalwood coffee table.
?? "Empress Dowager, don't be angry. Women age quickly when they are angry.”
?? "Really? Then aijia won't be angry anymore."
?? Liu Xue knew that women were most afraid of getting old. As expected, when the Empress Dowager heard this, she immediately smiled.
?? "Empress Dowager, can you not interfere in this matter?”
?? "How can that be? How can aijia let you suffer such grievances? Don't worry, aijia will talk to the emperor and let him go to your place more often.”
?? When Liu Xue heard this, she was really speechless. His plan was ruined, sigh.
?? "No, Empress Dowager, please don't do this, I beg you, okay?”
?? Liu Xue said anxiously, her face full of anxiety.
?? "What's wrong? Did someone bully you? Tell aijia, aijia will make the decision for you.”
?? It was over. What should he do?
?? "No, Empress Dowager. Listen to me first. Who dares to bully me here? If my brother sees me now, he won't even have time to escape. Think about it, who else would dare to bully me?”
?? "Speaking of Liu Feng, this widow really misses Lian girl. It's been a long time since I've seen her.”
?? The empress dowager said, unable to hide the longing in her eyes.
?? "Empress Dowager, don't worry. My brother dotes on sister-in-law. He doesn't even allow me to touch her finger, afraid that I'll hurt her.”
?? "Is that so? Then aijia can rest assured. Little Xue, it's getting late. How about eating here before leaving?”
?? "Then Consort Yin will respectfully accept. Consort Yin thanks Empress Dowager.”
?? Liu Xue's symbolic curtsy made the Empress Dowager laugh.
?? "You little girl, you only know how to talk. Men, pass the food."
?? Liu Xue stuck out her tongue and made a face at the Empress Dowager, causing her to laugh nonstop.
?? "Empress Dowager, I beg you to leave me alone, okay? How about I handle it myself?"
?? "Alright, this widow will agree to your request on account of you making this widow happy, but this widow will still talk to the emperor.”
?? "Alright then."
?? This was equivalent to not agreeing. Sigh, this was the end. How could he make up for it? The Emperor must have thought that I was doing one thing in front of him and another behind his back. Liu Xue was extremely depressed.
?? The meal was delicious, but Liu Xue only knew how to eat. She didn't know what the dishes tasted like.
?? Wiping her mouth, Liu Xue said a few words to the Empress Dowager and left gloomily.
?? After Liu Xue left, the Empress Dowager called Shangguan Chen over and scolded him harshly. However, Shangguan Chen despised Liu Xue and looked down on her from the bottom of his heart.
?? What was she doing?
Liu Xue returned to Concubine Yin Palace. The more she thought about it, the more depressed she became. She felt as if there were many nails stabbing her body. She stood but did not know where to stand, so she could only pace back and forth in the room. It was hard to imagine what the Empress Dowager would say to the Emperor, and what would those concubines think if they knew?
?? Sigh, annoying.
?? Let's go out and relax.
?? He only called Little Mei and Little Lan and set off for a stroll.
?? Along the way, Xiao Mei and Xiao Lan pointed here and there excitedly, chattering non-stop. Liu Xue couldn't help but wonder if she had brought the wrong person.
?? "Little Mei, look, this place is so beautiful.”
?? "Yes, yes. It's just a pity. If only the weather was warmer. The flowers were fragrant everywhere and butterflies were flying everywhere.”
?? "Why do I see red everywhere and black everywhere?”
?? "Niangniang, what do you mean?”
?? When Little Mei heard Liu Xue's words, she couldn't help but feel surprised.
?? "Red, and blood red, black, and hell black.”
?? "Ah?"
?? Little Mei and Little Lanton felt a chill from the bottom of their hearts. They could not help but wrap their clothes tightly.
?? "Niangniang, how can you say that?”
?? "Am I wrong?"
?? Liu Xue said in a deep voice. It was abnormal. The Empress was too abnormal today. The two little girls tacitly shut their mouths and stopped talking.
?? After walking for a while, she was a little tired. When she saw a pavilion in front of her, she quickened her pace and walked over.
?? Just as she sat down, before the chair could warm up, she saw Consort Du Shu walking towards Liu Xue. It seemed that she couldn't hide anymore. Since she couldn't hide, then she would welcome her.
?? Liu Xue stood up and watched as she walked in front of her. Liu Xue bent her knees and said,""Concubine Yin greets elder sister."
?? "Get up. Why are you so free today?”
?? "I'm just walking around. It's not good to stay in the house.”
?? "Bengong and Consort Yin have something to say, you can all leave.”
?? "Yes."
?? The servant girls that she brought with her all retreated, and then their eyes would occasionally look behind Liu Xue. Liu Xue understood and asked Little Mei and the others to go down as well.
?? "Sister, do you keep your promise today?”
?? "Of course it counts."
?? "Bengong has already entered the palace for a year but the emperor is still lukewarm towards me. I really don't know what to do.”
?? Did he want to complain or ask for advice?
?? "Then, according to what Sister says…"
?? "Actually, your words this morning really shocked me. Every woman who enters the palace doesn't want to be loved by the emperor?”
?? As he spoke, he had already replaced bengong with me. It seemed that he was here to escape.
?? "Big sister, little sister has a few words that I don't know if I should say.”
?? "Sister, you and I are family.”
?? "Then I'll say it, in fact, in order to gain the emperor's favor, it's not necessary to get rid of the other concubines, because that move was too risky.”
?? Hearing this, Consort Du Shu's interest was piqued. Liu Xue's words were not without reason.
?? "Then what do you think we should do?"
?? "Sister, I don't know what to say. It's the first time I ate carrots and I thought it was delicious. What if I let you eat it for a few days?”
?? "Then I'm definitely sick of it."
?? "That's right. It's fresh. You have to make the emperor look different every time he sees you.”
?? "Younger Sister is right."
?? A big fish had taken the bait. Liu Xue was overjoyed in her heart.
"But how exactly should I do it?"
?? "This also requires a strategy. Do you want to know if he loves you?”
?? "Yes, why not? I've been dreaming about it."
?? Liu Xue lowered her head and thought for a moment." Now, there are two paths in front of you. One is to directly know whether he loves you or not. The other is to know more vaguely. Which one do you choose?"”
?? "The first one, of course."
?? Consort Du Shu said without thinking.
?? "Alright, but you have to have a certain amount of courage. Otherwise, you won't be able to do it well.”
?? "Sister, don't keep me in suspense.”
?? "Alright, alright. Then I'll just tell my sister directly. I'll just ask him directly.”
?? "What? This…How am I supposed to ask?”
?? When Consort Du Shu heard this, her entire person was stunned. However, this was not necessarily a bad idea.
?? "It's a good idea, but what do you want me to do? Tell me about the second one.”
?? "The second method is to guess whether he loves you or not based on his reaction. There is a certain risk.”
?? "Tell me."
?? "It's very simple. It's exciting."
?? "Excited?"
?? "Yes, find a man to get close to him on purpose and see his reaction.”
?? "No, this is definitely not possible."
?? Consort Du Shu did not even think about it and directly rejected. Liu Xue thought about it and agreed. If she really did this, it would be considered a violation of womanhood. In serious cases, she would be beheaded.
?? "Let me think about it."
?? "My good sister, please think of another way.”
?? Consort Du Shu kept urging her, her hands still shaking Liu Xue's body.
?? "Alright, please stop shaking. If you keep shaking, I can't think of a way.”
?? "Alright, then I won't sway anymore. Please think of a solution for me quickly.”
?? "I got it. Next time you see him, pretend to ignore him. He must be very curious and keep asking. You never say anything.”
?? "Isn't this a good idea? Don't you think it's too tacky?”
?? "When he comes the next day, just ignore him and tell him a story. Then, stop halfway and tell him,'If you want to know what's next, come back tomorrow.'Now that you mention it, he will definitely come back on the third day. If this continues, he will definitely come to your place often.”
?? "Alright, I'll do as you say."
?? If the plan succeeds, as long as Consort Du Shu succeeds, the other concubines will definitely do the same.
?? "Younger sister, I'll take my leave first. I have to go back and make preparations. Today, it's my turn to serve the emperor.”
?? "I wish you success.”
?? Liu Xue stood up and said sincerely.
?? "Thank you, sister. I'm leaving."
?? Seeing Consort Du Shu leave, Little Mei and Little Lan came over, their faces full of anger.
?? "What's wrong? Who made our two little ancestors angry?”
?? Liu Xue walked in front of the two of them and held their hands as she laughed.
?? "Who else could it be? Of course it's you. How can you give advice to others?”
?? Xiao Lan couldn't figure it out, so she asked the question in her heart directly.
?? "Xiao Lan, Xiao Mei, I know you care about me and are doing this for my own good, but don't worry, I'm doing this to protect myself. I'm not stupid enough to give up my life.”
?? He almost said that he hadn't confessed to Little Ling yet. Fortunately, he reacted quickly enough. Otherwise, both he and Little Ling would be in danger.
"Do you two want to continue walking with me or go back and rest first?”
?? "Empress, is there a need to say this? Of course, I will accompany you to continue walking.”
?? "Then smile. I don't want people to say that I'm abusing a servant girl.”
?? "Alright."
?? Little Mei and Little Lan both revealed big smiles at the same time. Liu Xue was very satisfied with what she saw and immediately continued walking.
?? After walking for an unknown amount of time, a palace appeared in front of them. Perhaps it was because no one had lived in it for a long time, but it looked very old from the outside.
?? Liu Xue's curiosity was piqued. So there was such a place in the palace. It was really strange.
?? "Niangniang, let's go back. It's getting late.”
?? When Little Mei saw the palace, she didn't know why she felt goosebumps in her heart. She felt gloomy.
?? "What do you mean it's not early? Why are you going back so early? If you want to go back, then go back first. I still want to walk around.”
?? "Niangniang, if you don't go back, how can we go back?”
?? Xiao Lan mumbled. This master was good in everything, but he was a little naughty.
?? "I want to go shopping, but you don't. Why don't you wait for me here? I'll go in and take a look.”
?? "Ah?"
?? The two of them screamed at the same time, and a chill slowly spread from their hearts.
?? "Are you leaving or not?"
?? Liu Xue stopped and looked at the two cowards.
?? "Let's go."
?? Even though the two girls were extremely unwilling, they could only bite the bullet and walk a few steps to keep up, hoping that nothing would go wrong.
?? White Harmony Palace.
?? This name was really unpleasant. This was Liu Xue's first reaction. She had to change it.
?? Pushing open the door, they saw a narrow path with weeds on both sides. It seemed that no one had come in for a long time. A few steps forward was an arch bridge. After passing the arch bridge, they saw a thatched house. There was actually such a house in the palace? After years of neglect, the house had already begun to rot.
?? Walking into the thatched cottage, he saw that it was covered in dust and spider silk. Could it be that it was the end? There was no way out?
?? Walking out, he went around the thatched hut and came to the back of the house. There was another narrow path, but he did not know where this path led to.
?? Xiao Mei and Xiao Lan, who were following Liu Xue, were already pale with fright. They followed closely behind Liu Xue, afraid that something would suddenly appear and scare them to death.
?? He followed Liu Xue all the way and did not dare to fall behind. After walking for a long time, Liu Xue suddenly stopped walking, causing Xiao Mei and Xiao Lan, who were following behind her, to almost bump into her.
?? "Empress, why aren't you leaving?"
?? Little Mei asked Liu Xue curiously, what happened? Did you see a ghost? Little Mei was so scared by her own thoughts that she broke out in cold sweat.
?? Liu Xue pointed to the front without saying anything.
?? Little Mei and Little Lan looked forward and were also stunned. There was actually a peach blossom forest in front of them. Unfortunately, the weather was getting colder now. However, they believed that when the weather warmed up next year, the peach blossoms would definitely bloom. It would be a scene of spring.
?? On the surface, the White Harmony Palace and the Imperial Palace were worlds apart. However, although it was not as beautiful as the Imperial Garden, it still had a different flavor.
?? I, Liu Xue, am definitely going to take this White Palace.
