"Lanling Palace... such a beautiful name. ╚ ^ ╝" Cen Xue's heart was just hit. Why could he see through his own heart so well?
The peach-colored mouth was slightly open in shock, and the innocent eyes like a deer were wide open...
"So beautiful..." Helianzhi's deep laughter came to my ears.
He lifted up a strand of her long hair, using his hand skillfully. His usually cold eyes were as soft as autumn water, and his deep voice was full of pity and murmur. He could only show this kind of thing in front of Cen Xue.
"Zhi, let's go." She took his hand and suddenly felt like leaving.
In fact, what she just murmured was not only because of the name "Fengyi Palace", but more because this is the royal palace and the residence of his wife, and she should not appear here.
"What's wrong? Wasn't it fine just now? Don't you like it here? I repaired this specially for you." Helianzhi held her arm to stop her steps.
"This is the queen's palace. I don't want to live here. I think Xingqing Palace is very good. There is no need to move here." Cen Xue refused. This was also a reason why she did not want to separate from him.
"No, Xue'er, you must live here...even if it's just for one day, you have to live here..." He Lianzhi gently hugged her body and murmured softly, his voice was extremely gentle.
Do you want to stay even for one day?
Cen Xue was a little surprised by his words. If she really only lived here for one day, then why would he have to repair it carefully? What strange words!
Helianzhi didn't rush to explain the reason to her, but just curled his unruly lips gently: "Do you think I will let you leave my side?"
His words were full of arrogance and ambiguity, making Cen Xue's heart almost skip a beat.
"You... don't know what you are talking about?" Cen Xue raised her cheeks and retorted.
He Lianzhi's face suddenly turned cold, his powerful and dangerous aura enveloped her, his shining black eyes flashed with a light that made Cen Xue uneasy: "My birthday will be in a few days, and I will announce it to everyone then.
You, Lin Cenxue, are about to become my queen, if anyone dares to stop you, they will be killed without mercy!"
"No - are you crazy? I jumped from a little beauty to an imperial concubine. This is already difficult to explain. The position of queen does not belong to me. In terms of qualifications, Xiao Guifei should be the most suitable."
Xue strongly opposed it. She was still aware of the nepotism in the palace.
Helianzhi looked at her in surprise. He didn't expect that she would refuse. If it were any other woman, she would have been overjoyed.
"Xue'er, I'm not crazy. The queen must be the woman I love most, and you are the queen I, Helianzhi, considers." Helianzhi hugged her tightly and said with certainty.
.
Cen Xue said nothing, always feeling that this matter would not be so peaceful...
That scene was seen by many people, and Helianzhi's words quickly spread to every corner of the palace.
Because of the emperor's concubine's words, the king did not hesitate to change "Fengyi Palace" to "Lanling Palace" and mobilized people to repair the palace. The purpose was to please the emperor's concubine, and the king's birthday would be in a few days.
Well, the king was surprisingly quiet this time and did not ask the palace to prepare a birthday banquet. What does this mean?
In the imperial garden, Xiao Ling'er had been bedridden for more than half a month. In recent days, she was finally able to get out of bed and walk around. In the small pavilion by the lake, she happened to see the imperial concubine there.
"I, my concubine, meet the imperial concubine." According to the rules of the Loulan harem, this is what she must do.
Cen Xue was sitting alone in the pavilion watching the lake. She didn't notice Xiao Ling'er walking in and hurriedly got up to greet her: "You are not in good health. You don't need to be like this. Come and sit down quickly."
He helped her sit on the stone bench before sitting down. He hadn't seen her for a while, and it felt like she had lost weight again. She was tortured by illness and was like this. It was really pitiful.
"Why is the imperial concubine sitting alone in this pavilion without bringing a maid out?" Seeing her alone here, she was really curious.
"Well, I'm a little upset, so I asked Wen Qing and Wen Xing not to follow me. Let me sit alone. I'll go back by myself later." Cen Xue dragged her cheeks and sighed.
Xiao Ling'er rarely saw her like this. Could it be that she had a quarrel with the king? But I didn't hear about it?
"If you have any worries, you might as well talk to me. Maybe I can give you some advice, imperial concubine?" Xiao Linger fell in love with Cen Xue's kindness and straightforwardness from the first sight.
Cen Xue looked at her and said with a slight smile: "Ling'er, don't be so outspoken, don't call me like a concubine. You are Xiao Ling'er and I am Lin Cen Xue. We treat each other as good friends."
Treat it, okay?"
"This... um, okay!" Xiao Ling'er was still hesitating just now, but seeing Cen Xue being so straightforward, she had no reason to reject her.
The two of them came into contact with each other, and Cen Xue slowly told her her doubts: "Have you heard the recent rumors in the palace? It is said that the king will make me a queen in the near future, and he will also make extensive renovations to Fengyi Palace.
Many treasures from the treasury were moved to Fengyi Palace, and to make me smile, Fengyi Palace was changed into Lanling Palace. Moreover, the treasury was wasted too much due to repairs, so that the king did not prepare a birthday banquet."
Xiao Ling'er nodded and looked at her depressed look. It seemed that she didn't want people to say that she was a beauty who was a disaster and harmed the country and the people, that's why she was so sad.
"Don't take these words too seriously. I can actually see the king's thoughts. The position of queen belongs to you. As for the others, they are just rumors spread by those people and are not good for people. Don't take it to heart. Your Majesty.
It's not that I didn't prepare for my birthday banquet, I just kept everything simple. Didn't you see the king's intentions?" Xiao Ling'er asked him deliberately and deliberately.
Oh? What does this mean? Cen Xue really doesn’t understand?
"Hao Ling'er, tell me, I haven't been in this palace as long as you. I really don't understand these scheming issues!" He held her hand flatteringly, trying to get what he wanted from her.
More answers.
With a smile on her face, Xiao Ling'er leaned close to her ear and told her the king's intention word by word...
"Ah - it turns out that he has already thought out everything in advance, so don't I have to face those people?" Cen Xue opened her red lips in surprise. She did not expect that Helianzhi had already been preparing for that day.
Ready.
"There are not many. There are only five women in the king's harem now. Bai Bingxuan has been relegated to the cold palace. Two of them are us, as well as Concubine Yu and Meiren Dong."
Cen Xue nodded, okay, okay, it's just a table of mahjong.
Xiao Ling'er roughly told Cen Xue about Concubine Yu and Beauty Dong. It turned out that Concubine Yu was a beauty who came as tribute from other tribes, while Beauty Dong was just a dancer who was spotted by the king when she performed in front of the emperor.
, but the good times did not last long, and he was left out by the king after only one month. However, he was arrogant by nature, and he used to show off to Bai Bingxuan a lot, but after being left out, you can imagine what life will be like.
The weather was getting colder, and Xiao Ling'er couldn't stay outside for too long. After telling her this, he left in a hurry, leaving Cen Xue alone to continue her contemplation.
After seeing her off, ### had just sat down when someone suddenly picked her up - ah!!!
"What's your name? Am I a ghost?" Helianzhi came up behind her quietly, which really shocked her.
"Hate--"
Cen Xue snuggled into his arms, saying it was annoying, but she didn't think so in her heart.
"Now that the weather is getting colder, you need to put on more clothes when you go out. Also, why are you alone here? Where are Wenqing, Wenxing, Mingyue, Xiao Anzi and the others? Where have they gone?" He Lianzhi was worried.
Let her stay alone by the river, what to do if something goes wrong.
"It's okay, I didn't let them follow." Cen Xue pressed her cheek against his chest disapprovingly. She liked listening to his strong heartbeat the most.
"You, you, you are not allowed to be like this in the future. Someone must be with you so that I can feel at ease, you know?" He Lianzhi carried her out of the pavilion and walked towards Xingqing Palace step by step.
Many eunuchs and maids on the road saw the king personally carrying the imperial concubine back to the palace. It seemed that the rumors were indeed true.
As soon as she returned to the palace, people from the Clothing Bureau brought all kinds of gorgeous clothes. When Cen Xue took a look, she was like, "Oh dear, they are so beautiful!"
"Do you like it? The weather is getting colder, and you should buy more new clothes. If you are not satisfied with anything, just tell the clothing manufacturer directly and change it until you like it!" He Lianzhi was half leaning on the soft couch.
Go up and watch her choose clothes with a smile on her face.
It is natural for women to love beauty. No woman can resist these. She likes these handicrafts, colors, and styles. She came to him with a smile on her face and touched his nose with her own. But she had a problem.
Have to ask him.
Seeing her cute look, Helianzhi hugged her happily and asked, "What, is something wrong?"
"Um--"
"Then tell me, I'll listen -"
There are only two people in the dormitory, what can't be said?
"It's your birthday in two days, what are your plans?" Cen Xue just wanted to wait for him to tell her.
He Lianzhi paused for a moment, it didn't matter, she was the protagonist anyway, she had to know!
"This year we won't have a big birthday banquet. We will just set up a table in Xingqing Palace and let Ling'er, Yu Wu, Yuwen Tuo, Boyi, Concubine Yu and Dong Meiren come over to have a meal together.
Now that everyone is here, I have made it clear that I will let you move into Lanling Palace and be canonized as the queen!" Sure enough, Helianzhi said exactly what Xiao Ling'er told her.
"Oh -" Cen Xue responded without any surprise.
It was her reaction that made Helianzhi feel conflicted. Why couldn't he see any joy on her face?
"What's wrong?" He approached her gently and asked.
"It's nothing, I just think that if you do this, will it be too fast?" Cen Xue still had some concerns in her heart.
Helianzhi hugged her and sat down. He understood what she was thinking, but his heart was determined and no one could change his decision.
"Stop saying those silly things, prepare well, and be happy." Helianzhi insisted on his decision and would hold a grand wedding for her after the new village was completed.
