Jian Xiao looked at everything in the palace. It had only been a few months since he left, and so many things had happened. But here, everything looked like nothing had happened.
Walking into the harem, there were signs of desolation. There was no glory of spring, no enthusiasm of summer, no warmth of autumn. The flowers in the garden withered early, and not even a single plum blossom was bare in the garden.
Occasionally, you can see scattered yellow leaves swaying on the tree trunks.
Jian Xiao suddenly remembered that there was a story in history about Emperor Wu letting all the flowers bloom in winter. The peonies were not afraid of the evil force and insisted on blooming, but they felt that everything was very unfair to the plum blossoms. The reason why the plum blossoms were so lonely and beautiful in the first place.
It was opened in winter just to be different. As a result, it has become a trendy one.
A smile suddenly appeared on Jian Xiao's face. A plum blossom stretched out from the Xiaoxiang Tower. It was pink and pink. Although not delicate, it was extraordinarily generous. A woman was standing in front of the plum blossom, carefully arranging it.
"Wanyun!" Jian Xiao shouted softly
The woman's back trembled, and when she suddenly turned around, Wan Yun saw Jian Xiao standing there in plain clothes, just like plum blossoms in winter.
Wan Yun rubbed his eyes, "Empress?" Seeing Jian Xiao smiling and nodding, Wan Yun rushed over and took Jian Xiao's hand, "Is it really you? Are you really back? Am I not dazzled?"
Jian Xiao looked at Xiaoxiang Tower. Compared with when she left, it was more generous and decent. "It's hard for you to manage this place alone," Jian Xiao said. "I'll have to trouble you even more in the future."
Wan Yun shook his head, "No trouble, no trouble, Jiaojiao is here, it's great!"
"She is Yueyue, Jiaojiao's twin sister," Jian Xiao explained, "Jiaojiao... don't talk anymore. Please tell me what is going on in the palace."
Wan Yunzai carefully explained what happened after Jian Xiao left. Since Yue Liuqing died and stopped giving medicine, Zhang Qin's harem has become prosperous. Concubine Gong is now six months pregnant. Concubine Li Shu also said that she is pregnant.
The queen still has no heirs, but by raising Mintong, she still has the most power in the harem.
However, the imperial doctor said that Gong Guifei was carrying Lin'er, so the queen was extremely jealous, but they just got along with each other in terms of face.
"Several of the emperor's favorite concubines are pregnant. Who is the one who is pregnant now?" Jian Xiao asked.
"How can anyone still be happy?" Wan Yun said, "There is a war and chaos outside now. Although everyone in the harem is silent, they all know who will hold the throne. The emperor is sorting out the government affairs in the imperial study every day. He has not been there for a long time.
Come to the harem but..."
"But what?"
"Occasionally, I will let Kong Zhaoyi go to the imperial study room to sleep with me," Wan Yun said.
Kong Zhaoyi has seen it herself. If she remembers correctly, her brother should be the son of Gao Tianduo at the same time.
"Is there anything interesting about your Majesty's departure from the palace?" Wan Yun asked, Jian Xiao would never come back in such a simple way.
"Then let me make it clear, Wanyun, I want to make a big move this time. I want to help His Majesty clean up his current mess and also deal with my problems. I need your help."
"What's the problem with your Majesty? Wan Yun will definitely take care of it!"
"Do you remember that you said you wanted revenge? The children and girls who died for you?" Jian Xiao asked
"Yes!" Wanyun said
"If I say it's almost time, what will you do for me?"
"Everything depends on your Majesty's arrangement," Wan Yun said after hesitation.
Jian Xiao nodded, "Okay, I'll give you news tomorrow." Jian Xiao took a deep breath, "I've been going back and forth a lot today, but I'm tired and should rest early. If they know that I'm back, it will be uneasy."
Jian Xiao leaned against her bed and gently put her hand on her abdomen. According to her own calculations, the baby in her belly was only a few weeks old and would not have pre-pregnancy symptoms yet, but she needed to rest well.
"Madam... no, empress," Yueyue changed her words, "You said Wanyun is trustworthy, why didn't you tell her that you were pregnant?"
"The fewer people know about this matter, the easier it is to hide it, and I haven't seen her for such a long time. People change, so I have to be careful." Jian Xiao yawned, "I'll give it to you
Have you done what you were told?"
Yueyue took out a delicate box from her sleeve and handed it to Jian Xiao. Jian Xiao opened it and took a look, hoping that everything would go well.
"Tomorrow morning, you must give each concubine a gift. I have packed it properly. You must send it there early. I will personally bring the gifts for the empress, Gong Guifei and Li Shufei." We have just come back, and we must win people's hearts.
made
As expected by Jian Xiao, the news of her return was like dropping a big stone in a calm pool, and water immediately splashed all over the harem. Who didn't know that there was Concubine Jian who was not only favored by the emperor, but also a royal?
Passed through the battlefield and ensured peace for Biga Country
Now that this god-like woman has returned to the harem, the originally unbalanced harem forces still don’t know how they will be re-divided.
"Empress, have you received the news?" A woman heard a voice coming in just as she entered the Kunning Palace.
"Good morning, Concubine Gong. I heard that you are pregnant, so you should take care of your health!" Jian Xiao was already sitting under the Queen's feet, drinking tea leisurely.
Gong Guifei didn't expect that Jian Xiao would come here so early. Thinking of Jian Xiao's identity, she was about to salute, but Jian Xiao immediately grabbed her and said, "Goodbye, see you more." Jian Xiao took out a coin from her purse
The jade pendant depicts Guanyin Bodhisattva
She put this into Gong Guifei's hands, "This time I traveled to the mountains and rivers, thinking that my sisters would not be able to come out, so I brought some more specialties. I asked for them in front of the most divine Guanyin when I was traveling in the Tang Dynasty.
, I only asked for two to bring with me to protect the fetus, thinking of giving one away and keeping the other for myself, but I didn’t expect that you and Concubine Shu just happened to have one each!" Jian Xiao smiled and said to someone who had already walked through the door.
Concubine Li Shu said, "Don't dislike my poor gift."
"Concubine, where are you talking?" The two took the gifts and sat down.
Seeing a bracelet she had never seen before on the queen's hand, the color was weird and colorful, and she thought it must have been sent by Jian Xiao. There were some children's playthings placed aside, and Min Tong was sitting on them playing with them, thinking about Jian Xiao.
I was well prepared when I came back this time.
Jian Xiao casually talked to everyone about what they had seen outside, and picked some interesting things to say to them, which made them listen with interest.
"What are you talking about? It's so lively?" Zhang Qin walked in, looked at Jian Xiao and said, "I got up early to go to Xiaoxiang Building to look for you, but you didn't come here first."
"I've been floating outside for a long time, so I can't help but talk too much when I see the sisters." Jian Xiao stood up, "This has made His Majesty worried."
Zhang Qin smiled slightly and said, "No hurry, no hurry, I have something to tell you, why don't you go back to Xiaoxiang Tower?"
Jian Xiao nodded and followed Zhang Qin away with such a considerate and loving look that made others envious. Others were fine, but Kong Guibi was angry in her heart.
