Wei Jingxuan threw the red gold ring to him, stood up and said, "Let's go and comfort this poor noble concubine."
"Thank you, Master." Xiao Yuanzi put the ring into his purse, stood up quickly and helped Wei Jingxuan to go to Chonghua Palace.
The snow that had fallen earlier had melted away a few days ago, so it was much easier to walk. After arriving at the entrance of Chonghua Palace, Xiao Yuanzi stepped forward and said: "Please tell me, please let me ask you to see Concubine Yi.
"
The palace man gave Wei Jingxuan a slap in the face and said with some embarrassment: "If there is nothing urgent, it is better to wait until tomorrow. The master is not in a good mood today."
Wei Jingxuan knew why Mr. Huang was in a bad mood, and smiled and said: "It doesn't matter, you can report it to me."
Facing her words, the palace man was still a little reluctant and hesitated without taking a step. Wei Jingxuan knew that he was afraid that he would be scolded by Mrs. Huang after entering, so she immediately said: "I'd better go in directly. Just pretend you didn't see me.
If the empress blames me, I will shoulder the responsibility and will not affect you."
"But..." When the palace man was about to say more, Xiao Yuanzi had already stuffed a piece of silver into his hand and said in a low voice: "The master knows that the queen is in a bad mood and is worried about her, so she came here to comfort her."
The palace man secretly weighed the money in his hand, gritted his teeth and said, "Okay, please."
Wei Jingxuan nodded, held Xiao Yuanzi's hand and walked in. Along the way, Chonghua Palace seemed very quiet today. The palace people lowered their heads and were doing their own things. No sound was made, even a broom sweeping across the bluestone floor.
The sound was also eliminated due to the palace man's deliberately slowed down movements.
When they saw Wei Jingxuan, although they knelt down and saluted, there was no sound either. It was as if they had entered a silent world, which was particularly strange.
"Deng-deng" was the sound of flower pot-soled shoes stepping on gold bricks. The next moment, an annoyed voice sounded, "Who is making the noise?"
"I, my concubine, see you, your concubine. May your concubine be safe and sound." Wei Jingxuan's voice made Mrs. Huang in the chair open her eyes and look at her doubtfully, "Why did you come in?" Before Wei Jingxuan could answer, she was already cold.
She smiled and said: "My concubine is getting more and more capable. Going in and out of Chonghua Palace is like no one's land." After that, she stared at Jinping and said: "Go and call the gatekeeper for me. I want to ask
Ask him who his master is."
Wei Jingxuan said quickly: "Mom, please calm down. When I came in just now, I didn't see the palace guard guarding the door. I thought I had something to do and walked away."
Huang snorted coldly and said: "Whether he goes away or lets you in without permission, he has already made a mistake. If he makes a mistake, he should be punished. Doesn't your concubine understand such a simple truth?
?”
Wei Jingxuan lowered her eyebrows and said: "The palace man deserves to be punished, but if you punish him, will the queen feel better?"
Huang's eyes flashed and she said coldly: "When will it be my concubine's turn to take charge of my affairs?"
Wei Jingxuan said sincerely: "How dare I, I? I only care about your empress, and I am afraid that you will be angry." After a pause, she said again: "The imperial concubine is cold-hearted and ruthless. I already know it, so why bother to do it again?"
So angry."
Huang narrowed her eyes slightly and said coldly: "It seems that your concubine already knows?"
Wei Jingxuan acquiesced to this and said, "Actually, from another perspective, it might not be a good thing..." Before she could continue, Huang's slightly sharp voice came to her ears, "A good thing? Hui?"
Concubine, Concubine Shu has climbed on top of me one by one. Is this a good thing? Your concubine really can stand and talk without pain. If I ask you to bow to Noble Qiao or even those who are always here, how will you feel?
.”
Wei Jingxuan remained silent. After Huang finished reprimanding her, she said softly: "This matter has become a fact. Even if you are angry again, it will not help. And I know that you have always been indifferent to fame and wealth.
Not keen."
Huang took a deep breath and said: "It's one thing not to be enthusiastic, but it's another thing to be plotted and framed. After this incident, I have finally seen the imperial concubine clearly. She... is simply a
Villain!"
Wei Jingxuan said in a panic: "Your Majesty, be careful what you say. If these words are heard by outsiders and reach the ears of the Emperor, I am afraid that Long Yan will be furious and even punish you for disrespecting the Emperor's noble concubine."
Mrs. Huang stared at Wei Jingxuan's frightened face and suddenly laughed, "If it really reaches the ears of the emperor, it must be the secret that was leaked by the concubine, because you are the only outsider here, aren't you?"
Wei Jingxuan lowered her eyes and smiled and said: "Although I still regard this concubine as an outsider, I will never do anything detrimental to my concubine, so you can rest assured."
Huang said with a hint of sneer: "So, I still want to thank you?"
"I don't dare." Wei Jingxuan lowered her head, "I only hope that the empress can show off her beauty and no longer be angry with the imperial concubine."
"Angry..." Mrs. Huang murmured and repeated the word, shook her head and said: "It's more sad than angry. Although we haven't interacted with each other these days, I still remember the past and remember that she once said something to me.
The palace is good. But now..." She smiled sadly and said with deep sadness: "No more, there is nothing now, there is nothing worth remembering." She closed her eyes because her eyes were dry and uncomfortable.
I feel like I want to cry but can't.
At that moment, Wei Jingxuan's eyes were filled with doubts. It didn't look like Huang was faking it. Did she really fall out with Nala Xianyue?
When Mrs. Huang opened her eyes, she had already regained her concern and said, "Then don't think about it anymore. No matter it is right or wrong, who owes whom, let it pass. You can raise her with peace of mind from now on."
That’s the fourth elder brother.”
Huang's expression softened slightly, and he nodded and said, "Yes, at least I have Yongxuan. This child is naturally smart and filial, which is really rare."
Wei Jingxuan smiled and said, "Isn't that right? Don't think about those unhappy things anymore."
Mrs. Huang took a deep look at her and said somewhat complicatedly: "After talking to your concubine for a while, I am in a much better mood. Thank you very much."
"Your Majesty's words are serious." After saying this, Wei Jingxuan suddenly said: "Since your Majesty's mood has improved, can I ask for a favor?"
"What do you want, your concubine?" Huang frowned slightly. She was quite displeased with Wei Jingxuan's behavior of climbing up the tree. The good impression she had just now disappeared in an instant.
Wei Jingxuan has always been shrewd, how could she not see Huang's thoughts, and said calmly: "I beg you to forgive the caretaker of the palace gatekeeper for his negligence, and don't blame him."
Huang said in surprise: "Is this the grace your concubine wants?"
Wei Jingxuan said accordingly: "Yes, he didn't intentionally make any mistakes, he just left for a while and hoped that the empress would be merciful."
