Qi Kuan also said from the side: "Yes, it is really magical. I have never seen such a clear mirror in my life."
Xianyue smiled and nodded: "This Western thing is indeed very interesting."
While he was talking, the palace servant walked in quickly and said: "Master, Eunuch Xi has come with the emperor's imperial edict. Please go to the main hall immediately to receive the edict."
Xianyue quickly asked Zhichun to help her go to the main hall. The purpose coming at this time must be related to her position. Judging from the guilt shown by Hongli last night, Hongli would never just restore her position as concubine Xian, and should give her
He wanted a higher status to compensate for the suffering he suffered in the cold palace.
After Xianyue knelt down, Sixi unfolded the imperial edict and said solemnly: "By the fate of heaven, the emperor issued an edict: I have found out that the murder of the queen was done by the Su family and has nothing to do with the Nala family. From today on,
I am restored to the position of Concubine Xian of the Nala clan and resides in the Yanxi Palace. I will be rewarded with double the salary. I admire this!"
"I accept the edict and thank you for your kindness." Xianyue took the imperial edict from Sixi and said politely: "Eunuch Laoxi came here specially to convey the edict. I am really sorry."
"Your Majesty, you're welcome. I would like to congratulate your Majesty for finally being able to wash away her grievances and regain her innocence." Sixi smiled and cupped her hands, then took the tray from Xiao Wu's hand and said, "This is your Majesty's golden book and golden seal.
The original thing is returned, please inspect it."
After Zhichun took the tray, Sixi said: "If the empress has no other instructions, I will go back and give orders to the emperor."
Xianyue nodded and said, "Eunuch, go slowly."
After Si Xi left, Xianyue unfolded the imperial edict in her hand and looked at it carefully. Sure enough, it was just to restore herself to the position of Concubine Xian. There was no mention of canonizing herself as a noble concubine. Could it be that she had made a mistake? It was really strange.
Zhichun took a look and said dissatisfiedly: "My master has suffered in the cold palace for so long, and the emperor just resets his body and rewards him with double the reward, which is really unreasonable."
Qi Kuan couldn't help but sigh: "Yes, I thought the emperor would at least make his master a noble concubine."
Xianyue ordered the palace servants to take down the imperial edict and offer it to the emperor, and then said: "The imperial edict has been issued. Don't mention these words again. Otherwise, if people listen to it, it will inevitably lead to more words."
Qi Kuan responded: "I know, I just..."
Xianyue interrupted him and said: "I know what you want to say, but in this world, how can everything go as planned? There are some surprises after all. Just like Su, I thought I would be able to get her this time.
In fact, the emperor did decree that she should die, but it happened that she had an extra piece of meat in her belly at this time to protect her life."
When talking about this, Zhichun said angrily: "It's really unfair for God to let people like Su get pregnant again and again."
Xianyue said coldly: "This world is inherently unfair. If you want fairness, you can only fight for it yourself."
After a moment of silence, Qi Kuan said: "Master, I have something I don't know whether to say or not."
Xianyue and Yan said: "Both you and Zhichun have gone through hardships with me. If you have anything to say, just say it."
Qi Kuan lowered his head and said: "With Su's scheming, she will definitely find a way to use the child in her belly to save her life or even revive again. Therefore, if we want to cut off her future, we cannot let her give birth to the child in her belly.
" Without waiting for Xianyue to speak, he added: "My servant knows that this kind of thing is harmful to her moral character, but once the Su family is revived, she will definitely try her best to get revenge on her master."
"I know that I will consider this matter." After a pause, she said: "Let's go and accompany me to the Yangxin Hall. The emperor has restored my position, so why should I go to thank you?"
.”
However, when they arrived at Yangxin Palace, they learned that Hongli was not there. As for where he had gone, no one in the palace knew.
Qi Kuan said softly: "Master, since the emperor is not here, I will help you go back."
Xianyue nodded. Halfway there, she suddenly felt a chill on her cheeks. She looked up and saw snowflakes falling from the darkening sky, like catkins flying. Xianyue raised her hand to catch the falling snowflakes and whispered softly.
Said: "It's snowing!"
Qi Kuan said from the side: "Yes, counting this one, it has snowed six times this winter."
Xianyue looked at the snowflakes that kept falling and melting in her palms, and said softly: "Yes, I have watched five snowfalls in the cold palace. Every time it snows, it is a torture for me.
Whenever I shiver and fall asleep, I will always wonder if I will never wake up again if I fall asleep. Fortunately, I am quite lucky and I can wake up every time."
Qi Kuan said with emotion: "I guess I will never forget those years in the cold palace."
Xianyue murmured: "It should be said that I can't forget it even if I want to. The cold palace...it's really cold." After she finished saying this, the snow suddenly stopped. No, it didn't stop snowing, but someone was holding an umbrella.
He held up the snowflakes flying all over the sky for her.
Xianyue turned around and saw an unexpected person, "Your Majesty?"
Seeing her dumbfounded look, Hongli, who had not shown his face all afternoon, actually smiled, "What's wrong, don't you want to see me?"
Xianyue came back to her senses and said quickly: "No, I was just surprised. I went to Yangxin Hall just now, and they said that the emperor was not here. I didn't expect to meet the emperor here."
"I was a little bored, so I went out for a walk. When I came back, I happened to see you standing here." Hongli said while holding Xianyue's hand. As soon as the palms of his hands touched, he frowned, "Why are you like this?
Bing, are you wearing too little? I will immediately order the Ministry of Internal Affairs to make you some more winter clothes."
Faced with Hongli's concern, Xianyue smiled and said: "Thank you, Your Majesty. I am wearing very warm clothes. I am not cold at all. Moreover, there are many winter clothes in Yanxi Palace, so I can't wear them at all."
Hongli nodded and pulled Xianyue to the Yangxin Hall. He let go after her hands were warmed up and said in a deep voice: "I just heard you talking to Qi Kuan about the Leng Palace. Although the Leng Palace cannot burn charcoal for heating,
But if you wear more clothes, you should be able to get through it. Why do you feel like you can't wake up after falling asleep?"
Xianyue smiled faintly and said: "How many clothes does the emperor think I can have in the cold palace? At that time, Eunuch Xi only gave me a single piece of clothing. Later, Zhou Quan, who was responsible for guarding the cold palace, saw that I was pitiful and took some.
Clothes were given to Chen Concubine and Zhichun so that they would not freeze to death. At that time, what Chen Concubine was most afraid of was the snow, because it was really cold. Even if they stayed in the house, the wind and snow would break through the gaps.
It blows in."
Hongli was silent for a long time, and then he said dryly, "I didn't know that was the case."
"I know that, so I have never blamed the emperor. In fact, no matter how painful and difficult it was at that time, I have already overcome it. Instead of treating it as a painful memory, I would rather treat it as a kind of training.
