Tomorrow is the night of the Mid-Autumn Festival, and there is only one day left before the prince's concubine selection banquet. And at this critical moment, the palace spread such exciting news that there is a stunning woman hidden in the prince's palace. For a moment,
There was an explosion inside and outside the palace at the same time.
Everyone was curious about the identity of this woman, and at the same time they were secretly envious and resentful that this woman had used some kind of charm technique to allow the prince, who had never been close to women, to bring her into the palace for the first time and raise her in the prince's palace!
Rumors have never stopped, whether they are jealous, envious or indifferent, such a topic is naturally used as a topic of conversation after dinner by most people. Even all the concubines and maids in the palace are competing to explore it.
middle.
Yang Xi ate the water chestnuts cut by Gong E, and occasionally hummed a few songs that did not exist in this era, and seemed to be in a good mood.
The palace maid on the side heard her fresh singing voice and couldn't help but wonder: "Mother, which place are you singing? I have never heard it before."
Although this "empress" has not been canonized, judging from the prince's doting and loving care for her, it seems that she must be the crown prince in the future. Therefore, everyone in the prince's palace calls her "empress" and treats her as the crown prince.
Serve.
"That's... the song of my hometown." After all, there was no canonization, and Yang Xi couldn't call herself "this palace" or something like that. To avoid Gong E's questioning, she immediately changed the topic and said: "It is said that
Empress Qing has returned to the palace, do you know where her bedroom is?"
"Back to your empress, Empress Qing lives in the Emperor's Dragon Palace, and I haven't heard of anyone being given her own palace." Gong E respectfully replied.
Yang Xi raised an eyebrow and looked at her: "Your name is Shuang'er?"
"Yes, empress." Shuang'er leaned forward slightly and replied.
Yang Xi was about to say something when suddenly, Eunuch Li's strange and sinister voice came from outside the door: "Miss Yang, the emperor has an oral message."
Did Helian Bobo give her any instructions?
Yang Xi was stunned, and with the help of Shuang'er, she straightened up her appearance and hurried out of the door. Outside the door, Mr. Li, who was over forty years old, was quietly waiting aside. When he saw her, he bowed and saluted: "It is said that the emperor has spoken
, please invite Miss Yang to the Longyin Hall to meet the saint."
He is not from the Prince's Palace. Before Yang Xi was canonized, he would naturally not call her "Empress" like the little eunuchs in the Prince's Palace. He would shout random titles and be punished with a stick at the least, or his life would be in danger at the worst.
Naturally, the eunuchs in the palace would understand this.
"Miss Yang, please." Eunuch Li bowed and led Yang Xi forward.
Along the way, there were birds chirping and flowers smelling everywhere, but Yang Xi had no intention of enjoying them. After being brought back to the palace by Jie Xu, this was the first time she had to meet the current emperor, her "father-in-law" Helian Bobo.
It was very quiet in Longyin Palace. All the palace eunuchs were very cautious in their work and did not dare to make the slightest sound. The side room of the main hall was where Helian Bobo usually handled government affairs. At this moment, he was alone and immersed in the piles of memorials.
back.
After Eunuch Li brought Yang Xi over, he bowed to Helian Bobo and then left silently. Yang Xi also followed his example and bowed, saying: "People's daughter Yang Xi comes to see the emperor."
Helian Bobo didn't speak or look at her. All his attention was on the memorial, as if he didn't hear her. Without his permission, Yang Xi had to continue to lean forward, fearing that she would accidentally offend him.
Tianwei gave him a bad impression.
After about a stick of incense, Helian Bobo glanced at her and said in a deep voice: "Get up."
Yang Xi wiped the fine sweat from his forehead and slowly straightened his sore and tired waist. Most emperors like to test others when they meet for the first time. Such dramas have been seen a lot in court dramas. I'm afraid
There will be other problems waiting for her next.
While my mind was spinning, I could only hear Helian Bobo's majestic voice saying: "Raise your head and let me have a look."
Yang Xi raised his head and met his gaze in a neither humble nor arrogant manner. At the same time, he also looked carefully at this legendary and invincible emperor. It is said that he is nearly fifty years old, but his handsome and majestic face looks like he is only in his early forties, mature and majestic.
.His eyes are bright and lively. A single indifferent glance is enough to make you feel cold and unconsciously afraid of the person in front of you. She imagined, Jie Xu, no, his name is Helian Xu now! Wait for him.
When I reach this age, I should be in the same situation.
Incredibly heroic, calm and wise!
Helian Bobo was also carefully looking at the woman who fascinated his prince. Her beauty was beyond words, her eyebrows were as clear and as clean as water, and she was not as charming or pretentious as he imagined. Based on her appearance and temperament alone, this woman was worthy of him.
He deserves his crown prince and the future king of Hu Xia.
His thick eyebrows wrinkled slightly. The more such a woman is, the less he can rest assured. If she is just a beauty who charms men, he is not afraid that Xu'er will be deceived by her for the rest of his life. With a deep lip line, he said coldly
: "You have three other husbands?"
"Yes." Although this kind of thing seemed unforgivable in front of Di Yan, even if she denied it, Helianbobo could still explain her details clearly.
"Will you leave them and stay with Xu'er forever?"
Yang Xi felt cold in her heart, but her expression was firm: "No."
With a "pop" sound, a memorial turned into pieces at her feet. Looking at the pile of dust, she understood that if he wanted her life, even if Xu was here, he might not be able to save her. She raised her head
Looking at him, he said neither humble nor arrogantly: "Does your Majesty want to hear lies from a common woman?"
"You!" Helian Bobo pointed his long finger at her, his voice was extremely cold, but his expression was still calm. "You are very courageous."
Yang Xi didn't speak, just stood there quietly, waiting for him to accuse or punish him.
"Who gave you such confidence, thinking that I won't embarrass you?" He retracted his finger and once again carefully looked at this woman from head to toe, who was weak on the outside but very strong on the inside.
I have to admit that this woman has a unique charm that can drive a man crazy. Because of this, he cannot let her stay by Xu'er's side and influence his thoughts forever.
"Didn't the Emperor care for refugee girls from the beginning?" Confidence? In front of him, it was a joke.
"Sometimes being too articulate is not a good thing."
Yang Xi subconsciously took two steps back, but still looked straight at him.
Since ancient times, kings have been ruthless, especially towards a stranger like her who has no emotion.
"If the emperor wants to punish the women of the people, the women of the people ask the emperor to first think about the hard-won happiness of family relationships."
"presumptuous!"
Helian stood up abruptly, his usually calm face could no longer remain calm. He stared at Yang Xi, his eyes filled with blazing anger. His majestic and indifferent thin lips opened and closed, and a cold and biting sentence escaped: "Here comes someone.
