Earth Peace Palace.
A young girl was sitting by the table, quietly reading a book.
The young girl was about 29 years old (18 years old). Her skin was delicate, beautiful like a peach in spring, and pure like a chrysanthemum in autumn. Her eyebrows and eyes were delicate, and every move was gentle and virtuous.
This young lady was the current empress, Xiao Yuzhen.
Suddenly, footsteps sounded.
Then, a palace maid rushed into the bedroom.
If such an unruly palace maid was replaced by a bad-tempered concubine, she would probably be flogged.
When Xiao Yuzhen saw the palace maid, she only rebuked,"What do you look like?”
This palace maid was Xiao Yuzhen's personal maid who grew up with her, and the two of them had an extraordinary relationship.
The palace maid also looked quite extraordinary. She had well-defined facial features and a pair of big black eyes. She was very cute. Although she was not tall, she was not fat either. She had a good figure and was petite and exquisite.
"Your Highness, hurry, hurry…"
The little palace maid seemed to be running a little too fast, and she was out of breath.
Empress Xiao smiled and said,"What's there to be fast about?" Qingmei, slow down."
Qing Mei took a deep breath and finished her sentence.
"Niangniang, the emperor is coming! "Please prepare to welcome…" Qing Mei's face was filled with excitement.
Xiao Yuzhen was even more incredulous when she heard this. She couldn't even hold the book in her hand steadily and it fell onto the table.
Qing Mei wouldn't say such a big thing.
In other words, the Emperor was really coming?
How many years had it been?
Xiao Yuzhen married Zhao Zheng, who was still the Crown Prince at the time, when she was 14 years old. On the wedding night, she stayed alone in an empty room.
Zhao Zheng did not hide his dislike for her. They had been married for four years, but Zhao Zheng had never touched her.
Although they were husband and wife in name, they were not husband and wife in reality.
To put it bluntly, Xiao Yuzhen's husband was no different from a widow.
At the beginning, Zhao Zheng was cold to Xiao Yuzhen, making her extremely miserable. She even had the thought of committing suicide several times.
Because Zhao Zheng was the first and only man who had barged into her life. For the elegant and noble Zhao Zheng, of course she would fall in love with him.
However, the more she adored him, the sadder she became.
As time passed, Xiao Yuzhen became numb.
She no longer had any hopes for the emperor.
She was living for the sake of the Xiao family.
After all, she was the empress. Even though she was not favored, the Xiao family was also honored and had an extraordinary status.
Once she committed suicide, she would be free, but the Xiao family would definitely be in big trouble!
She was a filial child and naturally did not want to see her family fall.
But now…the
Emperor was coming?
The emperor was finally willing to come and see the girl?
"Aiya, niangniang, the emperor has already arrived at the imperial garden. He will be here in a moment.”
Qing Mei seemed even more anxious than the Empress.
Because the Empress was her master. If the Empress was favored, her status in the palace would also rise.
In addition, in Qing Mei's heart, the Empress had raised her since she was young and was like a family member. Of course, she also hoped that the Empress would live a better life.
These few years, the Empress's life was really not very good.
Because of the Emperor's loathing, even those servants did not put the Empress in their eyes.
The expenses of the Palace of Earthly Tranquility were not even comparable to those of ordinary concubines, let alone those favored imperial concubines.
According to tradition, there should be a guard of honor and servants around the Empress. The standard number was twenty-two. Empress Xiao only had two palace maids and two eunuchs guarding the door. Including Qing Mei, there were only five people.
Sometimes, when the Empress wanted to eat some snacks, the steward of the imperial kitchen actually dared to say that there was no more!
The other concubines had warm basins to keep them warm in such a cold winter, but the enormous Palace of Earth Tranquility was bone-chillingly cold. The empress's jade-like hands were already frostbitten…How could the dignified
empress, who was the mother of the world, live worse than ordinary concubines?
But don't worry, the emperor is finally willing to come, the empress 'days will definitely be better.
Qing Mei thought.
Xiao Yuzhen was not so optimistic.
"Qing Mei, there's no need to struggle.”Xiao Yuzhen forced a smile."The Emperor has never come to my place. This time, he might only be here for the position of Empress. Qingmei, we might have to move out of Kun Ning Palace!”
Xiao Yuzhen could not be blamed for having such thoughts.
In the past, the fatuous ruler had the idea of deposing the empress but was stopped by the empress dowager at that time.
Now that the Empress Dowager was no longer around, no one could stop the Emperor from deposing him!!
"No, no!"
Qing Mei anxiously said,"Your Highness, this servant just heard that Noble Consort Tian was given poisoned wine by the Emperor and is already dead. Moreover, Eunuch Feng specially sent someone to inform you to prepare well. The Emperor has changed his mind!"”
"Is there really such a thing?"
Xiao Yuzhen's beautiful eyes widened.
There
are two chapters in the afternoon and three chapters in the evening. Because the author is an all-nighter, he wakes up late in the day...
Thank you for your support, thank you very much. I especially thank the five big shots for their tips. Thank you for your love. I hope you can also transmigrate and become an emperor, haha!
