When Qi Yue was thirteen years old, Empress Dowager Qi died, and the affairs of the harem were under the charge of Concubine Yan.

Li Yi promised Empress Dowager Qi that he would never depose Qi Yue. However, as soon as Empress Dowager Qi died, Li Yi naturally had no need to see this strange little girl.

Like Qi Yue, who has no father or mother, and does not please others, is not worthy of Li Yi to like.

The Yan Dynasty draft is once every three years.

Qi Yue was fifteen years old and it was the beginning of the draft.

The harem suddenly became full.

Qi Yue was wearing a light blue palace skirt, her ink hair was casually tied up with a golden hairpin, revealing her slender and delicate neck, and two strands of hair were hanging down by her ears, making her face look whiter and more tender. The clothes she was wearing were relatively simple and did not look like the one that the queen could wear.

Qi Yue didn't care at all. She could wear phoenix robe, but she would rather wear simple dresses.

It is March, and the flowers in the imperial garden are blooming just in time. Qi Yue brings Aunt Yun and Jing next to her. She is carrying a small basket of willow strips, with a pair of scissors in the basket, and is about to pick some flowers and return to the palace.

Suddenly, several palace maids were chattering in their ears: "This time, Concubine Yan has gotten so angry!"

"Isn't it? Concubine Yan is already twenty years old this year? Those beautiful girls who have just entered the palace are all teenage girls, much younger than her."

"Okay, stop gossiping! Let Concubine Yan's people hear it, your half-life will be gone!"

The palace maids are also teenage girls. No one doesn’t like to gossip. They looked around and whispered: “What are you afraid of? There are so many people in the palace who have been scolding her privately. Last month I went to deliver fabrics to her, but when I met her, a bowl flew to my head, and now there are scars!”

"There are ears on the walls. You girl, you have been in the palace for a year, why are you still ignorant?" A palace maid knocked, "Is Concubine Yan relying on her beauty? Her father made contributions to quelling the rebellion and had strong power behind him. His Majesty's eyes add up. Maybe in two days, Empress Qi will be deposed and Concubine Yan will be the queen. You are talking nonsense and spreading it out. When Concubine Yan becomes queen, the first person to be remediated will be your gossip."

Qi Yue was holding a flower basket and holding a pair of exquisite silver scissors in her hand. With a "click", the red juice flowed on Qi Yue's white and tender hands.

Instead of cutting the stems and leaves of the flowers, she cut the delicate petals.

Aunt Yun and Aunt Jing heard all the little palace maids. When the palace maids walked away, Aunt Yun said, "Empress, these little palace maids have no knowledge, don't listen to their nonsense. At the beginning, Your Majesty promised our Empress Dowager that you will never abandon the queen. You are in a good position and very stable position."

Aunt Jing also said, "Aunt Yun is right. Empress, your appearance is so beautiful in the harem. When Your Majesty sees you grow up, he will definitely love you very much."

Qi Yue's hand, covered with rose juice, gently stroked her face. Her eyelashes trembled slightly: "Aunt Yun, you said that Your Majesty has promised the Empress Dowager and will never depose the queen, but what if the palace is dead?"

Aunt Yun's face changed: "Empress, you must not say such things!"

"One day, he wanted to establish Yan's family and sent someone to Zhengyang Palace late at night. A white silk strangled me to death and gave him a nice posthumous title. To him, he was not considered a deposed queen." Qi Yue's expression did not change. She curled her lips, and her eyes were unclear, "To His Majesty, this palace has never been anything."

"Empress, don't think so!" Aunt Jing said, "Things from two years ago... are all over. He is the emperor, so you can only endure giving in and get more pampering."

Qi Yue lowered her head and cut the flower branches.

From the side, she is really a very beautiful and quiet girl, her skin is dazzlingly white in the sun. In the whole harem, there is no other girl like this beautiful one.

If the emperor really put a woman in his heart and favor her, Aunt Jing and Aunt Yun felt that this woman would definitely be Qi Yue.

It was summer soon, and at this time, there were many more masters in the palace. The young and beautiful woman quickly filled the entire harem.

In this plump harem, everyone knows that the emperor has a queen. The queen is in Zhengyang Palace all year round and rarely comes out. I heard that the queen is a little girl, an extremely weird little girl. The emperor doesn't like it, so he just put her aside and hung her.

The hottest person in the palace is Concubine Yan.

Concubine Yan held great power and was extremely charming in the harem, and was in the limelight, equivalent to a real queen. In the entire harem, concubines of all sizes must obey Concubine Yan.

In a blink of an eye, it is the Mid-Autumn Festival.

Every Mid-Autumn Festival, Li Yi will spend it with his concubines, and this year is no exception.

Two years ago, Qi Yue said he was sick and hid in Zhengyang Palace. Li Yi had no intention of accompanying this little girl who had lost his trust. He didn't care whether Qi Yue was really sick or fake. Without Qi Yue hosting the Mid-Autumn Festival family dinner, there would be a capable Concubine Yan.

Less than half a year after entering the palace, young concubines who had not yet received favor appeared in front of Li Yi. They displayed their talents, presented brilliant poems, sang moving songs, and danced beautiful dances.

But in Li Yi's eyes, these are just a group of vulgar fans.

Li Yi has never liked anyone. As an emperor, he accepted concubines like countless emperors. He was more diligent than most emperors, and the career he made was difficult for most emperors to match.

While warning the concubines who wanted to stand out, Concubine Yan smiled and leaned against Li Yi, hoping to get the holy favor.

Recently, Li Yi has been busy with major events in the court and rarely comes to the harem.

Concubine Yan is now at its peak. She feels that she has the opportunity to squeeze Queen Qi and sit on this glorious phoenix throne.

But she still has an opportunity, and this opportunity should be a child.

Concubine Yan said softly: "It's getting late now. Your Majesty, it's time for us to go back and rest, right?"

Li Yi said: "I still have the court affairs to be busy. You guys have fun here, I'll go back first."

Concubine Yan persuaded him to keep him: "Your Majesty——"

However, no matter how she tried to keep her, Li Yi was unwilling to look at her again.

After the others left, Concubine Yan put away all her expressions.

Concubine De below smiled and said, "I thought that Your Majesty would stay with the Concubine tonight, but I didn't expect that the Concubine would treat the same as us."

Wu Guiren, who has always stood on the side of Concubine Yan, said: "What does the imperial concubine treat the same as us? A few days ago, His Majesty also sent the tribute from the vassal state to the imperial concubine. We will never get the favor and benefits that the imperial concubine can get in our lifetime."

Concubine Yan was already full of anger, and the more she looked at Concubine De, the more she felt disliked.

But Concubine De, the cunning fox, still makes people unable to find anything wrong.

Concubine Yan had no choice but to say sarcastically: "Concubine De, Your Majesty has not stepped into your palace for three months, right? What we serve Your Majesty is to make Your Majesty happy. You are one of the four concubines, and even Your Majesty can't keep it. If the matter spreads, maybe others will say what you will say. You have to put in some effort in the future."

Concubine De said sarcastically: "Yes, I know, but the Concubine is not much better than me, right? Your Majesty hasn't been to the Concubine's place for two months."

Concubine Yan clenched her hands tightly, and her long nails pierced into her palm.

Li Yi walked all the way, and when he reached the vicinity of Zhengyang Palace, he heard a flute sound.

The originally clear and distant flute sound was blown out with a lingering and sad taste.

Li Yi suddenly remembered that he had not seen his queen for two years.

In Li Yi's memory, Qi Yue is still the little girl who is a bit vicious and weird.

Li Yi has always liked gentle and virtuous women the most. He was a little girl like Qi Yue who looked gentle and innocent on the surface, but behind her back was full of vicious thoughts. He avoided it.

Qi Yue and Empress Dowager Qi are three-part similar. At the beginning, Empress Dowager Qi pretended to be weak and innocent, while harming the palace concubine and the imperial heir, and seizing the position of the queen.

A feeling of disgust suddenly appeared in Li Yi's heart.

When the eunuch saw Li Yi stop, he changed his mind and said, "Your Majesty, the Empress should be grown up now."

Li Yi said "yes" and finally stepped into Zhengyang Palace.

Aunt Jing and several maids were outside. When they heard that His Majesty arrived, they all knelt down.

Li Yi walked inside: "Where is the queen?"

Aunt Yun also came out of it.

Aunt Yun knelt on the ground: "Your Majesty, the empress is not in good health and is infected with the cold. It is not convenient to see you. You should not go in, so as not to be hit by the disease."

“No obstacle.”

Li Yi strode in.

When he walked to a flower and bird screen, he suddenly stopped.

For some reason, Li Yi was unwilling to go in again after he had arrived here. He felt that the little girl here was no different from the strange and annoying little girl two years ago.

Two subtle coughs came from inside, followed by a soft and cold voice: "Is it your Majesty?"

Just from the sound, Li Yi could feel that this was no longer the voice of the childish little girl.

There is a quiet fragrance in the room. The fragrance penetrates into people's lungs and makes people feel cold.

A slight cough came again, and Qi Yue said, "I am suffering from the cold, please come back."

Li Yi turned around and walked out like a devil.

The palace maids knelt all over the ground.

He asked, "Did the flute sound just now come from Zhengyang Palace?"

Aunt Jing said, "No, there is no one in the palace who dares to make noise late at night."

Li Yi walked out.
