Wei Jingxuan sighed and said, "I want to do that too, but I am just a small concubine with a queen and a noble concubine on top. It is not my turn to make the final decision on many things."
Hearing this, Wei Xiuyan became a little anxious and blurted out: "But doesn't the emperor always have great trust in my sister? What my sister said..."
Before she could finish speaking, Wei Jingxuan smiled bitterly and said: "Do you really think that I can get wind and rain in this palace? If this is the case, how can I still occupy the position of concubine? You are in the palace
Outside, what I see and know is only superficial, and I don’t know the hardships involved. In order to allow you to enter the palace, I have already tried my best in front of the emperor."
Her words made Wei Xiuyan feel a chill in her heart, and she said in despair: "So, all the things I have done before are all in vain. Not only will I not be favored by the emperor, I will not even be able to stay in the Forbidden City for a few days."
.”
Wei Jingxuan smiled slightly and said meaningfully: "Since you were a child, when have you ever seen your sister give up on something halfway? Either you don't do it, and since you have done it, you must do your best."
"Xiuyan naturally knows, but sister..." Halfway through her words, an extra hand appeared on her face. After carefully caressing Wei Xiuyan's eyebrows, Wei Jingxuan said with emotion: "They say time makes people grow older, but I see
Looking at you, you are more youthful and beautiful than when I saw you more than ten years ago."
Wei Xiuyan said with a smile: "Then thank you sister for letting Li..." She realized something was wrong and quickly changed her words: "Let him find every possible way to find the residual recipe. I didn't believe it before, but I didn't expect that after using it, it actually turned out to be true."
I am becoming younger and younger every day, and my body is as light as when I was more than ten years old."
Wei Jingxuan nodded and said: "That is indeed a good thing. It is just a residual recipe. It can make your skin as smooth as gel, make your complexion delicate and youthful. If it is a complete recipe, I believe the effect will be even more miraculous."
While Wei Xiuyan responded, she looked at Wei Jingxuan carefully and said with some confusion: "I look at my sister's face and it seems she has never used it. Why is that?"
Mao Gui's eyes flashed slightly, and he bowed and said: "In reply to the second lady, the master has used it before, but the effect was not obvious, and he also got a rash. The imperial doctor said that the master may be allergic to something, so he did not dare to use it again.
.”
"I see, it's such a pity." Faced with Wei Xiuyan's words, Wei Jingxuan smiled and said: "It doesn't matter, at least it's useful to you, that's enough."
Wei Xiuyan nodded, remembering what she had just finished, she couldn't help but said: "Sister, you said you won't give up halfway, then my matter..."
Wei Jingxuan took her soft and boneless hand and said, "I want to ask you, who is the most decisive person in this palace?"
Wei Xiuyan said without thinking: "Of course she is the queen."
Wei Jingxuan shook her head and said: "No, I will give you another chance."
Wei Xiuyan said doubtfully: "The queen is the main palace, and my sister said that she is deeply favored by the emperor. She should be the queen. Could it be that she is Concubine Ying? Or the queen mother?"
Mao Gui knew Wei Jingxuan's intentions best, and reminded him with a smile: "Second Miss, the master's intention is not limited to the harem."
After he said this, Wei Xiuyan immediately reacted and blurted out: "I know, sister is talking about the emperor."
"Yes, it is the Emperor. You are already in the palace now. As long as you catch the Emperor's eye, everything you and I want will naturally come true."
Wei Xiuyan tentatively said: "Sister is saying... let me attract the emperor." After receiving Wei Jingxuan's affirmative answer, she hesitated and said: "But the emperor is used to seeing all kinds of young and beautiful women. I'm afraid that I... can't catch his eye.
.”
Wei Jingxuan patted her hand and said: "Don't worry about this. With your current appearance and figure, few in the palace can be better than you. The emperor will definitely like you. Furthermore, in recent years, the emperor has become more and more convinced of Buddhism and Taoism."
"Teacher, I mentioned to the Emperor that you once worshiped Taoist Nun Changchun Guan as your disciple, and the Emperor was very interested. As long as you make good use of it, you will surely win the Emperor's favor. Of course, I will also look for opportunities to help you."
Wei Xiuyan bit her lip and said, "Then just follow your sister's orders."
Wei Jingxuan took off the southern red agate hairpin from her bun and inserted it into Wei Xiuyan's fragrant hair instead of the original sapphire pole. She said softly: "Although we and I are together less and less, we are always connected by blood. My sister is lucky to be rich."
, I naturally hope that you can get it, and in this way, you and I, sisters, can be with each other day and night, supporting each other in this palace."
Wei Xiuyan was moved and said: "Sister's kindness to Xiuyan will be remembered by Xiuyan her whole life."
Just then, a palace attendant came in and said, "Master, Concubine Xin is here."
"Invite her to come in." Shortly after saying these words, Xin Bin walked in holding the palace attendant's hand, smiled and accepted the courtesy, and then said: "In the past few days, my sister has occasionally caught wind and cold, and she is afraid of infecting her sister.
So I didn't come to visit, so I asked my sister to forgive me. In addition, my sister made some clothes for my little brother, but I don't know whether they will fit or not."
After Wei Jingxuan ordered Qiaoyu to take it, she said with a smile: "Even the emperor praised my sister for her beauty in red. How can she not wear it well?"
Xin Bin looked at Wei Xiuyan calmly and said, "I heard from the imperial doctor that my sister will give birth next month. Is everything okay? Are there any discomforts?"
"My dear sister, I'm worried. I and the child are both fine. It's just that my body is getting heavier and heavier. I can't walk even a few steps before I feel out of breath."
"It's like this when you're pregnant, and it'll be fine when you give birth." As she said this, she pointed at Wei Xiuyan and said: "My sister heard from the palace people that my sister's biological sister just entered the palace today. I wonder who she is?"
"That's right." Wei Jingxuan said sadly, "Xiuyan, haven't you met Empress Xin yet?"
Wei Xiuyan responded, walked up to Xin Bin, and said softly: "Xiuyan has met your empress, my empress is blessed."
"Get up quickly." Xin Bin helped her up with her own hands, took a closer look, and praised: "I haven't seen such a beautiful person in a long time. She looks like she stepped out of a painting."
Wei Xiuyan said coyly: "Your Majesty's compliments are ridiculous, and a common girl is too embarrassed to accept them."
"I'm not lying. She is really beautiful." As she said this, she took off the white jade bracelet from her wrist and said, "I came here in a hurry and didn't bring any greeting gifts. I'll take this for now. I'll meet you tomorrow."
Let someone prepare a gift and send it to you."
Wei Xiuyan didn't dare to accept it at first, but it wasn't until Wei Jingxuan opened her mouth that she thanked her and accepted it. Xin Bin said curiously: "Sister, why is Xiuyan wearing a Taoist robe? Is she a monk?"
"That's not true, but Xiuyan was lucky enough to have a Taoist nun as her teacher many years ago, and she has been dressing up like this ever since. By letting her enter the palace this time, she is also asking her to pray for the child in my womb and hope that he is safe.
