It is time-consuming and laborious to build a palace. Qifeng Palace is good, so it is a good choice to move the queen to Qifeng Palace.

Before moving to Shoukang Palace, Empress Dowager Qi lived in Qifeng Palace.

The Qifeng Palace was built by the former emperor for Empress Dowager Qi. The five elements of Empress Dowager Qi lack water, so the Qifeng Palace is surrounded by water on all sides and is built in the middle of the Bulao Lake. The lake water is clear and shallow, and the scenery is pleasant. There is a Changchun Bridge to communicate with the outside. When Empress Dowager Qi was the queen, the palace concubine had to go around a long distance every day before they could come to Qifeng Palace. The ceremonial guards were stopped outside the Changchun Bridge. The palace concubine asked the palace maids to support their hands across the bridge, which was also a beautiful scenery.

Although Qifeng Palace is surrounded by water, the late emperor spent his time pleading with Empress Dowager Qi. The palace took five years to build, which consumed countless manpower and material resources. The materials used for the construction of the palace were also extremely special. It was warm in winter and cool in summer. The wood had a faint fragrance, and it would not be damp at all, and it would not be wormed.

Li Yi didn't like Empress Dowager Qi very much, so Qifeng Palace was always empty. However, Qifeng Palace is indeed the most gorgeous and unique palace.

He gave an order to let the queen live in Qifeng Palace.

The next day, the entire harem was alarmed again.

The news that Concubine Zhou Xian was disrespectful to the queen, deprived her of title, and was demoted to Concubine Zhou had just spread. Everyone in the harem was talking about it, and it was said that the queen had become His Majesty's new favorite and could not be provoked. When they met, they had to bow three times and bow nine times to pay a big gift.

As a result, less than a day, news came again that the queen was going to move to Qifeng Palace. At this moment, everyone in the harem believed that the power would soon fall into the hands of the queen.

However, the Zhengyang Palace was quiet, and the palace maids should do whatever they should do, be cautious and careful.

Xue Ying came here early. Although this winter was about to pass, it was still cold in the morning. Xue Ying held the whisk in one hand and wore a blue brocade robe. Her feminine and gentle face had no expression, as if she could not feel the slightest chill.

Aunt Jing smiled and said, "Empress Dowager doesn't know anything. Eunuch Xue, it's so cold outside, you can go inside to warm up your body first."

Xue Ying said: "I'll just wait for the Empress in the yard. I'm in good health recently?"

"In just two days, it's a little better." Aunt Jing said, "The scenery in Qifeng Palace is good and more peaceful. I hope the Empress can take good care of her body there."

Aunt Jing couldn't guess the emperor's wishes.

The emperor seemed to be a little concerned about the queen. If he didn't care, when he came over in the morning, he wouldn't just tell them these close-fitting palace maids and wouldn't scream the sleeping queen.

If the emperor's people came to pass the imperial edict in another palace, which empress could not get up? Even the concubine Yan, who was injured in her leg, would have to get up to get the imperial edict.

Aunt Jing has always liked the queen. Everything about the queen is good in her eyes. Aunt Jing closed her eyes and boasted: "We empress have a delicate heart, and she is more charming in the country. No matter how much you favor, you can bear it. But Your Majesty is moody, and we don't have much contact with Your Majesty, and I don't know if Your Majesty's favor is really liked or should you praise and kill him?"

Xue Ying looked at the other palace maids in the Zhengyang Palace courtyard and swept them one by one. After a long time, Xue Ying said: "The Empress gets along with Your Majesty more, and she can see more thoroughly than us. The palace maids in this palace are well aware of everyone's situation. The Empress's mind is not as good as the other palaces. What's more, although the Empress makes enemies, she has also recruited some people who are sincere to her. Therefore, Aunt Jing doesn't have to worry so much."

Xunxue happened to be wearing a lotus pink jacket and skirt, with exquisite beads on both sides of her hair. At first glance, she was more elegant than the unpopular and low-ranking master. She had just come back from outside, with a cold air on her body, holding several red plum blossoms in her hand. When she passed by, Xunxue said: "Aunt Jing, look, the plum blossoms I picked for our empress, the empress must be particularly fond of it."

Aunt Jing raised her hand and poked Xunxue's forehead: "You ghost girl, you know how to take advantage of your choices, but the empress does like plum blossoms, and it will be fragrant when put into the house. Please send it in."

Xunxue said "yes" and went in happily.

In fact, Xunxue has a good impression of everyone in Zhengyang Palace, but she is a little disgusted with Xue Ying.

Perhaps it is because Xue Ying is a castrator, Xunxue could vaguely feel that Xue Ying had a bit of complicated feelings towards the queen.

Xunxue has already regarded the queen as her personal treasure she wants to protect. The emperor is the object she can't afford to offend and the queen's serious husband. She can't say anything, but Xunxue doesn't like Xue Ying.

Xunxue thought that she would ask carefully what kind of thoughts Xue Ying had.

If Xue Ying followed the queen just for the future, Xunxue would think this person could be kept.

If Xue Ying had ulterior motives, had inappropriate thoughts about the queen, and wanted to compete with her for the queen, she would definitely not keep this person.

Xunxue inserted the plum blossoms into the pottery bottle, opened the bead curtain and entered the dormitory. It was dark inside, and the queen was still asleep. The whole room was filled with a sleepy smell, and the faint fragrance was faint.

Xunxue whispered: "Empress, it's getting late."

A lazy and soft moan came from the veil, and then a familiar and intoxicating voice entered Xunxue's ears: "Is it Xunxue?"

Xunxue passed by, she hung layers of gauze curtains on the hook, and a plain white face was revealed from the light pink brocade quilt. Qi Yue's dark hair scattered on the pillow like clouds. She opened her eyes unhappily: "I still want to sleep."

Xunxue was so cute that she was lazy when the queen woke up. She gently pulled Qi Yue up: "It's already a big noise outside. How can you sleep, Empress?"

Qi Yue stretched, covered her mouth and yawned: "What are they quarrels about?"

Xunxue curled his lips and said, "Of course I'm jealous of you. This morning, the people from Hanyuan Palace came and said they wanted to move to Qifeng Palace. Qifeng Palace was lived by Empress Dowager Qi. When the late emperor was there, it was built with countless manpower and material resources. It was extremely gorgeous and others were envious of it. It is said that Concubine Yan was very jealous of Qifeng Palace, but His Majesty refused to live there."

Qi Yue laughed.

Seeing that the Queen smiled rare, Xunxue was stunned unconsciously: "Empress, are you happy too?"

Qi Yue shook her head: "Not all."

Someone wants to find a way out. For the sake of being the Lord of Nine Five, Qi Yue also gives him a way out.

She got out of bed and was about to go to the dressing table. Although the room was very warm, Xunxue was still worried. She pulled a blanket and covered Qi Yue with her body: "Empress, put on things, don't catch a cold. I will send you hot water to clean it."

Qi Yue couldn't help laughing.

Xunxue is young, but he is even more nagging than Aunt Yun.

She took the comb and combed the end of her hair.

Qifeng Palace?

Qi Yue often went there when she was young. At that time, Empress Dowager Qi was still the queen, standing tall, wearing a phoenix robe, sitting on the magnificent phoenix throne.

The women in the harem did not even need breakfast every morning after washing up, and rushed to Qifeng Palace to pay tribute to Empress Dowager Qi.

When Qi Yue was young, she got up early in the morning and stood on the high observation deck of Qifeng Palace. She could see those noble and beautiful women wearing colorful clothes, allowing the palace maids and eunuchs to support them across Changchun Bridge.

At that time, Empress Dowager Qi held the phoenix seal in her hand. Although she was delicate and thin, she looked easy to bully. No woman in the entire harem was not afraid.

Now, Qi Yue stared at herself in the mirror.

He is young and beautiful, and his face is more outstanding than when Empress Dowager Qi was young. In other aspects, Qi Yue was defeated.

Empress Dowager Qi has a king's favor for life. The more Qi Yue and Li Yi live together, the more they understand that this man is not as pure and simple as he shows.

She didn't know how long her pampering could last, and she didn't know whether Li Yi would treat her as coldly as other women after she was fresh.

After washing up, Qi Yue went out for breakfast.

Xue Ying came in and served Qi Yue.

He gave Qi Yue a bowl of red dates, peanuts and longan soup: "The Queen Mother seems to have insufficient qi and blood recently, so you should pay more attention to your health."

Qi Yue took a sip of the soup: "I know. There are many people in the room, and I feel chest tightness. Xia Lian, Xunxue, you will take everyone out."

After several palace maids left, only Xue Ying, Aunt Yun and Aunt Jing were left.

Xue Ying watched Qi Yue eat elegantly. He could have watched the little girl grow up, and she grew from the little girl as tall as his waist to the side of his waist. Time flies, and the queen just becomes more beautiful and calm, and nothing else has changed.

"The Yuhua Palace person has now suffered a leg injury and will not be cured in a few months." Xue Ying said, "She is just a paper tiger now, and it is not a big problem. It is the best time to take back your power in the harem."

"It depends on what Your Majesty means." Qi Yue took another sip of soup, "Although Qifeng Palace is good, if you are not careful, it will turn into a cold palace. Who knows what he thinks?"

Xue Ying nodded: "The Empress is talking very much."

After dinner, Qi Yue stood up, Xue Ying quickly stepped forward and held her arm. Through the thick fabric, Xue Ying could feel how light the girl was actually.

"The young master has been engaged in a marriage recently, and it was decided by his wife. The servant has not yet inquired carefully. If he finds out, should he let that girl enter the palace and show you?"

"Ah Yu's engagement?" After thinking about it carefully, Qi Yue noticed that Qi Yu was already fourteen years old and it was not uncommon to get engaged.

"The second young master is engaged and will get married next year, so the young master will naturally not leave." Xue Ying said, "I will find out the details of it."

"Okay. The green plum laurel candy I made in autumn should be a little more. Ah Yu likes it the most. Eunuch Xue, please help me bring it to him."

As he said that, Qi Yue asked Aunt Yun to pick up two cans: "If you like it, leave one can."

Xue Ying said: "I thanked the Empress first."

At this time, Xia Lian came in from outside: "Empress, Your Majesty is here."

Qi Yue frowned and agreed not to come. She thought Li Yi would meet again after she entered Qifeng Palace. Unexpectedly, the person came just one night.

Xia Lian only discovered it after Li Yi came in, so she just finished reporting and Li Yi came in.

Qi Yue and Xue Ying saluted Li Yi at the same time.

Li Yi was not surprised to see Xue Ying. Xue Ying was the eunuch left by Empress Dowager Qi. Empress Dowager Qi was kind to him. This slave was grateful to Empress Dowager Qi's kindness and turned to loyal to Qi Yue, which was understandable.

Qi Yue said: "Your Majesty, why are you here?"

Li Yi stepped forward and held Qi Yue's hand: "Are you surprised to see me?"

Qi Yue smiled slightly: "Of course, it was a very unexpected. After all, seeing His Majesty's behavior yesterday, I thought His Majesty would never come again."

"I have never said anything I will never come back."

Li Yi was just thinking about it in his heart, but he didn't really say this. Before leaving, what he said to Qi Yue was just to make her take care of herself.

Li Yi said: "I know, you must have cried last night and couldn't sleep. I feel sorry for you, so let's take a look."

Qi Yue looked at Li Yi with a slightly bloody look, thinking that he was the one who couldn't sleep. But she didn't say this.

Qi Yue and Li Yi sat down together, and she said to Xue Ying: "Eunuch Xue, you leave with your things first."

Xue Ying said "very" and was about to take two jars of green plum laurel candy from Aunt Yun.

Li Yi had sharp eyes and wanted to ask after seeing it: "What is this?"

"It's just the candy I made when I have nothing to do. My brother likes to eat it, so he asked Eunuch Xue to send it to him." Qi Yue said.

"Made it by the queen?" Li Yi said, "Xue Ying, go, keep the things."

Xue Ying retreated.

Li Yi opened the sealed sugar bowl and a fragrance of osmanthus and green plum came to his nose. The candy pieces inside were about the size of a fingernail, rectangular, extremely flat, and the color was light yellow.

Qi Yue pinched a piece and stuffed it into Li Yi's mouth: "My brother is young and likes to eat candy. Your Majesty, don't you hate sweets?"
