Wei Jingxuan smiled softly and said: "Actually, I have been wanting to come over to pay my respects to the empress these past few days, but unfortunately I feel unwell, so I postponed my visit until today. I hope the empress is not surprised."
"You are pregnant with a dragon fetus. You should have a good rest. There is no need to come here to pay my respects." No matter what their respective thoughts are, at least on the surface, they appear to be harmonious and cordial.
The palace servant brought tea, and Huang asked, "What kind of tea is this?"
"Master, it's the best Biluochun." Before the palace man finished speaking, Huang had already scolded: "You are stupid, how can you still drink tea when your concubine is pregnant, so she hurriedly exchanged it for osmanthus nectar.
"
After the palace attendant went out obediently, Wei Jingxuan chuckled and said, "Your Majesty, you are too careful. In fact, drinking some tea occasionally is not a big deal."
Huang said warmly: "If you don't want to drink, it's better not to drink as much as possible. If anything happens, it will be troublesome. You should remember this for yourself and don't be careless."
Wei Jingxuan lowered her head and was filled with gratitude, "Thank you so much for reminding me, I will definitely keep it in my mind."
After chatting for a few words, Wei Jingxuan whispered: "I heard that your Majesty had a dispute with the Imperial Concubine a few days ago. Is it true or not?"
Huang's eyes darkened, and her voice turned cold at the same time, "Why do you ask me this?"
"It's nothing. I just want to advise you that the friendship between you and the imperial concubine has not been easy for many years. Don't let this friendship be ruined by some trivial things. If possible, your Majesty might as well try to rebuild the old relationship with the imperial concubine." Wei Jingxuan's tone was gentle and sincere.
, as if she really cares about this matter.
Huang's eyebrows, as slender as willow leaves, raised slightly, and she said with a touch of surprise: "Did I hear wrongly, my concubine advised me to reconcile with the imperial concubine?"
Wei Jingxuan lowered her eyebrows and said, "I know that you have always misunderstood me, but what I just said came from the bottom of my heart. I sincerely hope that you two can make things right." At this point, she sighed softly.
: "My concubine has been in the palace for ten years
, the biggest feeling is that true love is rare in the palace, not to mention love like sisters, even if they are biological sisters, there will be a day when they turn against each other. We have been together for twenty years without any dispute. I have only seen you and me.
Imperial Concubine."
Huang looked at her, the corners of her lips slowly raised, revealing a playful smile, "I think this is the last thing your concubine wants to see."
Wei Jingxuan held the sweet-scented osmanthus nectar offered by the palace servants and said softly: "Everyone has their own way of doing things, but equally, everyone also has things they value."
"True love is rare - so does this four-character concubine also know about it? I thought that your concubine didn't know at all, otherwise how could she force the person who treats you best to become your enemy?"
"Is the empress talking about Concubine Hui?" Wei Jingxuan sighed softly: "Concubine Hui, I regret it, but it's useless to say anything now. Concubine Hui will not forgive me, and time will not go back. Everything is over.
It’s a fate.”
Huang sneered and said: "Regret? What a pity, I have never seen these two words on your concubine."
Wei Jingxuan stood up and said slowly: "I have already said what I need to say. It is up to you to decide whether you want to reconcile with the imperial concubine. I will retire."
When Wei Jingxuan was about to step out of the threshold, Huang suddenly said: "Do you want to know why I have a dispute with the imperial concubine?"
Wei Jingxuan turned around, lowered her eyes and said, "If the empress is interested, I will be very willing to listen."
Huang nodded, and after gesturing for her to sit down again, she said coldly: "The cause of the dispute is related to you, Wei Jingxuan, you are really capable. Every time, when everyone thinks you have no way out, you always
It is possible to survive from desperate situations, and the same happened with Wei Daoming this time. It was you who asked Wei Daoming to surrender, wasn't it?"
"Yes." Wei Jingxuan's answer was beyond Huang's expectation. When she asked that question, she never thought that Wei Jingxuan would admit it.
Huang frowned and said, "How do you know our plan?"
Wei Jingxuan shook her head and said: "I don't know what the plan is." Before Huang could ask, she said again: "But I understand one sentence very well: showing courtesy for nothing, committing adultery or stealing; those people suddenly sent so much money,
No matter how nice they say it, there are still problems; so as soon as I learned about this, I immediately asked my father to take the remaining money to Shuntian Mansion and surrender."
Huang said in disbelief: "So, everything was just guessed by you?"
Wei Jingxuan complied: "Yes, now it seems that I guessed it right."
Mrs. Huang looked at her for a long time and then said slowly: "It seems that everyone underestimated you, even the imperial concubine. She thought..."
Wei Jingxuan guessed what she said next, but she pretended to be confused and asked: "Why?"
Mrs. Huang hesitated for a moment, but finally did not say any more. She shook her head and said, "It's nothing. There's no point in bringing up the past." She stroked her face and said, "It's rare to talk to your concubine so much today. It's getting late now, so why not?"
How about you stay and have dinner with me? Of course, if your concubine is worried, I won’t force you."
Wei Jingxuan smiled slightly and said: "I have always been kind to others, so I have nothing to worry about. However, I cannot eat greasy or fishy food. Please forgive me."
"I understand." With that said, Huang ordered Jinping to go to the small kitchen and ask them to prepare some refreshing and delicious dishes.
That night, Mrs. Huang drank a lot of wine and talked a lot about the past with Wei Jingxuan. There was her, Xianyue, Mingyu and Keliete. She seemed to have not spoken to anyone for a long time, and she kept talking.
As she spoke, Wei Jingxuan sat quietly next to her and listened to her words.
After Huang drank another glass, she advised: "My dear, you have drunk a lot. If you drink any more, you will be drunk."
Mr. Huang picked up the sapphire wine pot and sneered with his slightly hazy eyes: "It's better to be drunk. Once drunk, you can solve a thousand worries. When you are drunk, you won't have so many troubles."
Wei Jingxuan held her hand and said softly: "But when I wake up tomorrow, my worries will still be there, and I will have a headache due to a hangover, so why bother."
Huang shook his head and said: "It doesn't matter if it can be solved for a while. Do you think I don't want to reconcile with the imperial concubine? But...unknowingly, she has changed a lot and has become strange and scary to me. If we can repair it,
I'm afraid that one day, I will become like her, treating human life as nothing, just like...you."
Facing Huang's sharp gaze, Wei Jingxuan smiled and said: "How dare I compare myself to the imperial concubine? Everything I did was just to protect myself. It may have been excessive, but most of it was forced.
It's helpless, after all, the imperial concubine has always been unable to tolerate my concubine. If there were no means, my concubine would have turned into a handful of loess."
