"It's rare that you can think like this." Hongli nodded and said, "By the way, have you received the decree I gave you?"
Xianyue smiled and said, "Well, I am here just to thank the emperor for restoring my position and to reward me with double my salary."
Hongli looked at her charming and beautiful face under the candlelight and said softly: "This is what you deserve. Originally...you should have gotten more."
Xianyue's heart moved, but she didn't show anything on her face, saying: "I am satisfied to have these. If there are more, I will not be able to bear it. I know who I am."
"They are them, and you are you. They should not be confused." Hongli raised his hand and caressed her cheek, saying: "Remember, you only have one identity, and that is my concubine Xian, do you understand?"
Xianyue covered his warm and broad palm, nodded and said: "Yes, I understand."
Hongli smiled and said, "Stay here with me tonight. I still have many things to say to you."
That night, the night after that, and the night after that, the name of Xia Yue was recorded in the honor room. As soon as she left the cold palace, she continued to serve her, which made everyone in the palace envious and jealous, including Cai Ling.
I heard that Xianyue was sleeping with me
After hearing the news, she pointed at A Luo's nose and said sternly: "A Luo, didn't you say that after rescuing her from the cold palace, she would regard me as her benefactor? But in the end, she didn't even come to Bi Lin Pavilion.
If you pass, you will know how to confuse the emperor."
A Luo said with an aggrieved look on his face: "I don't know this either. Maybe Concubine Xian forgot about it for a moment. Master, don't be impatient. In any case, at least we have eliminated the Su family's big worry."
Cai Ling sighed coldly and said: "I forgot about it for a moment. Why didn't I see that she forgot to confuse the emperor? I am getting more and more angry when I think about it." After thinking for a while, she still couldn't swallow this breath and said: "No, this matter
We can't just let it go, I'm going to Yanxi Palace to let her remember how she got out of the cold palace, and don't think about burning bridges."
A Luo said nothing and supported Cai Ling all the way to the Yanxi Palace. After entering the main hall, Cai Ling glanced at Xiayue who was sitting in a chair drinking tea, and reluctantly saluted: "Your Majesty.
I have seen Concubine Xian, and she is very lucky." It was said to be a salute, but the knees did not bend at all, and even the veil was only symbolically shaken.
"Ling Chang Zai is not a gift." Xianyue put down the tea cup and said with a smile: "When I was deposed and relegated to the cold palace, Ling Chang Zai was just a palace maid. Unexpectedly, when we met again, she had become Chang Zai, Ah Luo.
Then I became your maid, which really surprised me."
Cai Ling smiled faintly and said, "I never thought that I would have the honor to serve the emperor."
Xianyue didn't go around the bush with her and said directly: "Ling often comes to see me, why?"
Cai Ling met her gaze and said: "Why the empress was able to leave the cold palace? I should be very clear in my heart. I have spent a lot of time on this matter."
"So, Aya Chang came here today to thank me for your rescue?"
Cai Ling showed a slightly proud look and said: "I don't dare, but I helped my concubine. I hope my concubine can also help me and support each other in the future."
Xianyue nodded noncommittally, but what she said next immediately made Cai Ling's face turn ugly, "What if I don't want to support each other with Ling Chang Zai?"
Cai Ling stared at Xianyue and said, "What do you mean by this?"
Xia Yue said in a cool voice: "I have inquired about it. Aya Changzai was originally serving in the Su family's palace. For some reasons, she and Su family had a knot, and many things happened. As a result, Aya Changzai became a
Changzai of the Bilin Pavilion is no longer the palace maid who waited on people before." She turned her eyes and said to Zhichun who was standing next to her: "If you were the Su family, what would you do if something like this happened?"
Zhichun replied as he was told: "I will definitely hate that palace maid and wish to kill her."
Xianyue nodded slightly, turned her gaze to Cai Ling again, and said in a cold voice: "So, Ling Chang Zai did not intend to help me at all, but wanted to use this to convict the Su family so that she could not harm you again. Ling
Chang Zai, did I make a mistake?"
Cai Ling didn't expect that she would reveal her thoughts in just a few words. For a moment, her face was green and white, and after a while she said: "No matter what, I have helped my empress, and the favor I received will be remembered for thousands of years.
Madam, do you think so?"
Xianyue chuckled and said, "What if I say no?"
Cai Ling's expression changed, and she said in a cold voice: "My Lady, what do you mean?"
Xianyue flicked her nails and said casually: "Ling Chang, can't you understand what people say? Everything you do is for yourself, and you don't mean to save me at all. If this is the case, how can there be any talk of kindness?"
Cai Ling's face turned pale with anger and said: "Even if I didn't mean to save you, it is a fact that you escaped from the cold palace by my grace. How can you turn your back and deny it?"
"If you want me to say thank you to you, that's fine. Otherwise, I'm not interested in hearing it." Before Cai Ling could speak, she added, "I've returned to Yanxi Palace for the first time, and there's something else.
There are many things to deal with. I have no time to chat with Ling. Please come back."
Cai Ling said bitterly: "Concubine Xian, do you really want to be so heartless?"
"Unfeeling?" Xia Yue's eyes sharpened suddenly, and she sneered: "When did I and Ling Chang have friendship? In short, this is what I said. I know spring and see off guests."
Cai Ling was so angry that she couldn't speak. Facing Zhichun's farewell move, she waved her hands bitterly and said, "No need, I will leave on my own. I hope that Concubine Xian will not regret what she did today."
After she left angrily, Zhichun couldn't help but laugh and said: "It's so funny that Ling is here all the time. She actually came to ask for favors from the master without thinking about her own identity."
Xianyue smiled slightly and said coldly: "The more she behaves like this, the faster she will go to the road of no return prepared by me. Look, I will not let go of anyone who has harmed me.
"Speaking of this, she stood up and said: "Stop talking about this, help me go to Kunning Palace."
Qi Kuan and Zhi Chun looked at each other and whispered: "Master, are you still going to Kunning Palace?"
Xianyue glanced at them and said, "What's wrong? You don't want me to go?"
"I don't mean that, I'm just afraid that the Queen will not see you again and your trip will be in vain as before. The Song Dynasty doctor said that although your body seems to be fine, you are suffering from severe cold inside.
Time, try not to go out."
"Whether she can see me or not is her business, but if I don't go to pay my respects, there will be more gossip in the palace. And... I also want to know why she has been refusing to see me."
Zhichun said from the side: "This slave is also very strange. In the past, the empress and the master were the best friends. Now the emperor has found out the truth. Why is the empress so cold to the master? The master kept asking to see him, but he always said that he was not feeling well.
But I heard that another mistress has been there, and the queen has seen her. I don’t know if she is in good health, but the master is really not in good health."
