The palace was so big. She didn't know where Shen Bingyue had brought her, and how to get back to the Palace of Dawn. Helplessly, she could only walk slowly based on her feelings, admiring the flowers in the imperial garden as she walked.
Haoyue Yi was a flower lover, so every time she saw a large sea of flowers, she couldn't help but walk over to admire it.
The flowers in the imperial garden could be said to be all sorts of strange. As she was looking at them, she suddenly noticed a faint blue flower in a small flower bed beside the hundred flowers. It was very beautiful.
If it were anyone else, they might not think much of it, but Haoyueyi was someone who knew flowers, so when she saw the blue flower, her heart skipped a beat.
She walked over and slowly leaned over to take a look. That's right, it was this. This kind of orchid could be said to be rare in the world. It was the best among orchids!
But…how could he leave it here in such a hot summer day? Hao Yueyi thought to himself. Then, he took out a handkerchief and covered the orchid. This scene happened to be seen by the Empress Dowager who came to admire the flowers.
"How dare you! What are you doing?" The Empress Dowager reprimanded.
Haoyue Yi raised his head and saw the empress dowager dressed in a phoenix crown. He immediately bowed and said,""The Empress Dowager is auspicious." "Chen Xi? Why are you here?" Indeed, without the empress dowager's permission, people were not allowed to enter the garden on the east side of the imperial garden. Seeing Haoyue Yi here, the empress dowager's face looked very bad. It was not known whether it was because it was unreasonable or because Haoyue Yi had touched her orchids.
"ChenQie was ordered by sister Liangfei to visit sister in QiongHua Palace. However, ChenQie is lost." This was not an excuse. She was really lost. She naturally could not tell the Empress Dowager that Shen Bingyue had left halfway.
"Oh? Was that so? You're really very idle. Do you treat the palace as your own home and go wherever you want?”Other than her niece Liang Yu, the Empress Dowager had never had a good impression of the other concubines, and it was the same for Haoyue Yi.
Haoyue Yi saw that this person was not friendly, so he immediately shut his mouth and didn't dare to speak anymore…
"Heavens, you woman who doesn't know the rules, why did you cover this widow's orchid? Do you want to kill this widow's top quality orchid? This is the forbidden area of the imperial garden, don't you understand?”The empress dowager exclaimed when she saw her orchids covered. She then looked at Haoyue Yi angrily.
"Empress Dowager, I'm very sorry. Chenqie didn't know that this was a forbidden area and got lost. She wanted to return to the Palace of Dawn, but in the end…?”Haoyue Yi lowered his head in repentance.
"Hmph, trespassing into the forbidden area is one thing, but why did you destroy this widow's orchids?”The empress dowager went up and tore off the handkerchief. When she found that the orchid had withered, she was immediately furious.
"No, Empress Dowager, you've misunderstood. Please listen to my explanation…?”Seeing that her actions had been misunderstood by the Empress Dowager, Hao Yuyi immediately became anxious.
However, the empress dowager was still in a fit of anger and didn't listen to Hao Yueyi's explanation. She pointed at her and said,""Men, bring this woman back to Ci Ning Palace for this widow to interrogate.”
"Empress Dowager…please listen to ChenQie's explanation?”Haoyue Yi knew that she had offended the empress dowager, so she panicked.
At this moment, a faint purple figure flashed by, and a man's low voice sounded,""Mother, wait a moment."
"Oh? It's Yi 'er, what's the matter?" The Empress Dowager saw that the person who had come was none other than Prince Sanhuai, Shen Hongyi, so her tone softened. Although the Third Prince was not born by the Empress Dowager, his mother, Concubine Luo, was the Empress Dowager's cousin. Although the sisters had also served the former Emperor, they had always gotten along well and had never fallen out with each other. Moreover, Concubine Luo had already passed away. Therefore, in comparison, other than her son, Shen Jinxiu, the Empress Dowager was only nice to Prince Sanhuai.
"Mother, you seem very angry?”Prince Sanhuai glanced at the empress dowager, then at Haoyue Yi, who was standing beside him. A hint of surprise flashed across his eyes.
"It's all because of this Consort Xi, who the emperor just conferred. She's incapable of accomplishing anything and is more than capable of spoiling things. She's ruined a perfectly fine orchid. Xiu 'er asked someone to bring this orchid back from a very far place, crossing the sea.”The empress dowager simplified the matter.
"Oh?" Shen Hongyi smiled gently. So this is the legendary peerless beauty, Consort Xi. Sorry for being disrespectful. I just came back from the North Sea and didn't make it to your wedding.”Seeing Shen Hongyi smile at her, Haoyue Yi returned the smile.
"What are you guys still standing there for? Why didn't he take her away? She was annoyed just by looking at her.”The empress dowager pointed at the servants. "Mother, wait a moment. I think there must be a misunderstanding. You should listen to Consort Xi's explanation.”Shen Hongyi said with a smile.
Haoyue Yi was also stunned for a moment. She had never thought that the man she had just met would plead for her, and she couldn't help but feel warm in her heart. She heard the Empress Dowager call him Yi 'er, so he must be Prince Sanhuai, Shen Hongyi, the legendary prince who was said to be peerlessly beautiful, but not fond of women and had a penchant for losing his arm.
The empress dowager didn't say anything…
Seeing this, King Huai smiled at Haoyue Yi."Imperial Sister-in-law, are you still not going to explain? Mother is waiting for your explanation?”Haoyue Yi immediately nodded in panic."Yes, ChenQie is actually not destroying orchids, but saving orchids?”
"What is it? You covered the orchid's head with a handkerchief, causing its flowers to wither, and you still say you want to save it? This is ridiculous." The empress dowager said coldly.
"Mother, you should listen to Consort Xi before making a decision." Shen Hongyi continued.”
"Hmph, fine, tell me. If you can't tell me why, even if Prince Sanhuai speaks up for you, this widow will not let you off today.”The empress dowager immediately said the ugly words first.# Daguan Review Passed: Daguan Time:111420183: 25PM #Cancel Review All: wdd201302 Time:111420185: 54PM #
