Chapter 7
As the queen gradually grows older, the Qi family will not allow Concubine Yan to take control of the harem on behalf of Queen Qi for a long time.
Li Yi was very accurate in his eyes. He knew that the little girl Qi Yue was not a good person. In the position of the queen, Qi Yue, a brainless and vicious girl, cannot be allowed to sit there.
Xunxue knew Li Yi's intention to put her in the side of Queen Qi. Xunxue was one of the secret guards trained by Li Yi's confidants. Although she was young, she had learned a lot.
Li Yi could not accept Empress Qi, so Xunxue stayed with Empress Qi and followed Li Yi's arrangements. Some ways were made to cause Empress Qi to die unexpectedly.
Xunxue had little contact with the young emperor in front of her, and she didn't know Li Yi's temperament. She just heard from her friend that the saint was a tough person and was hard to serve.
After considering it, Xunxue never said anything else.
After going out, a tall eunuch called Xunxue: "You put this thing in the queen's tea every day, and one pill a day is enough."
Xunxue lowered her eyes and said, "Yes, Eunuch Fang."
She didn't have to ask what the eunuch in front of Li Yi gave her, just do it secretly.
On the fourth day, Xunxue went to serve Qi Yue to get up and dress. Qi Yue put his cold little hand on Xunxue's palm: "The plum blossoms in the imperial garden should be in bloom, right? I want to go and see it."
There have been two snowfalls since the beginning of winter this year. I don’t know why the water vapor is so strong, but there is another heavy snow outside today.
Xunxue surrounded Qi Yue with fox fur. The fox fur was left to Qi Yue by the empress dowager. The fur is white and white, which makes her eyebrows look particularly clear.
Xunxue said: "Empress, are you going to walk all the way? There is too much snow on the ground, be careful that your boots are soaked in snow."
"I haven't taken a walk for a long time." Qi Yue has been in a good mood these days. She held the hand stove and followed a group of palace maids around her. Xunxue held an umbrella for her at the front.
The plum blossoms were indeed blooming, just right. Qi Yue raised her hand and pinched a branch of red plums. The scene alone was so beautiful that people couldn't take their eyes away.
Xunxue smiled at Qi Yue and said, "Empress, this flower is so beautiful. After you go back, you put it in a vase and keep it in water. The whole palace will have a fragrance."
As soon as he finished speaking, Xunxue's smile subsided.
She saw Qi Yue pinched off the petals one by one, and the pinched petals fell to the ground in a mess.
Qi Yue's heart always suppressed her breath. She was born not a girl with a good temper. She always had tyrannical thoughts and thoughts in her heart. When she saw some things, she couldn't help but want to destroy them.
When his fingers were frozen cold, Xunxue stepped forward and held Qi Yue's hand: "Empress, you have been standing here for so long, and your hands are about to freeze."
Qi Yue pulled her hand back in dissatisfaction and slapped Xunxue in the face.
Aunt Yun said, "Don't you kneel down? The phoenix body of the empress, how can you, a lowly palace maid, touch it at will?"
Xunxue knelt down neatly.
After warning Xunxue, Aunt Yun said to Qi Yue again: "Empress, she has just arrived in the palace for a short time and doesn't know the rules. Let's spare her this time."
Xunxue suddenly remembered the rumors in the palace. When Empress Dowager Qi was there, the queen relied on Empress Dowager Qi's favor to do whatever she wanted and killed many palace maids.
In the past two years, Empress Dowager Qi passed away. Although the queen has restrained a lot, many palace maids have been carried out of Zhengyang Palace.
Some people say that the queen is so arrogant and moody, she is still smiling at this second, but she can pull the person out and kill him in the next second.
Xunxue's current identity is just a palace maid, Qi Yue is the lofty queen. In contrast, Xunxue is the trampled snow mud on the ground. Qi Yue refers to the red plum blossoms in his head.
She took the liberty to meet Qi Yue. No matter what the reason, it was not uncommon to be beaten.
Qi Yue pressed her heart to suppress her unhappiness. She frowned and went to look at Xunxue.
"look up."
Xunxue raised her head obediently.
Qi Yue lost her parents when she was young, and before she was taken to the palace, she suffered a lot. She was good at observing her expressions and was best at judging other people's thoughts.
She could see that Xunxue was different from other palace maids. From Xunxue's eyes and expression, Qi Yue could see Xunxue's view of her.
Xunxue did not regard Qi Yue as a brain disease, nor did she feel that Qi Yue was cruel and vicious.
Qi Yue felt that Xunxue simply liked herself, just like seeing a beautiful thing.
At this time, Xunxue's white and tender face had a clear slap mark. There was no fear in her dark eyes, but a faint regret.
Qi Yue coughed lightly, looked away, and she stretched out her hand: "I forgive you for being innocent, get up."
This time, not only Xunxue, but also Aunt Yun and Jing beside him were a little surprised.
They know the queen's temperament best. The queen is indifferent and arrogant, and will never say such words to a palace maid who offends her.
Xunxue put his hand in Qi Yue's small palm and stood up with a little effort.
Xunxue patted Xue on her body, pursed her lips and smiled: "Thank you for your forgiveness."
Qi Yue's long eyelashes flashed and said expressionlessly: "Next time you make a mistake, I will definitely hit you hard."
Xunxue smiled and said, "Don't worry, Empress, I will never offend you casually."
Qi Yue ordered the palace maid behind him, "Broke some plum blossoms and put them in a vase to raise them."
Several palace maids responded and started to pick the plum blossoms.
Xunxue held an umbrella and followed Qi Yue to the depths of the plum blossoms.
A sweet voice came from afar: "I think the plum blossoms here are good, which match the temperament of our concubine, so I picked a few to send them to the concubine."
With the sound, a woman wearing a brocade fur cloak came over. The woman was of medium shape and could not stand out in the beautiful harem. She smiled a little cutely. Because of her average appearance, she could not get the favor and could only stick to Concubine Yan.
Aunt Jing took advantage of Qi Yue's discovery and stepped forward and said, "The Empress is here to enjoy the flowers, and she is unwilling to let others disturb you at this time. Wu Guiren, come again after the Empress leaves."
When Wu Guiren heard that the queen was here, he didn't care much about it.
The queen, how can I compare to the mighty Concubine Yan? Concubine Yan is very popular in the harem. As for the queen, she will sooner or later be inscribed into the cold palace.
Wu Guiren smiled cutely and said with a slight smile: "It turns out to be Aunt Jing in Zhengyang Palace. I came here not to appreciate the flowers, but to feed the concubine to pick flowers. The concubine especially likes plum blossoms. If I go too late, it would be bad to make the concubine angry."
Aunt Jing said with a stern face: "The Empress is always the Empress. The Imperial Concubine is under the Empress. Even if the Imperial Concubine comes, she will still be waiting here now."
Wu Guiren's face was not very good-looking.
The palace maid Wan'er, beside Wu Guiren, blinked her eyes and said, "Aunt Jing, you are also an old man in the palace, why don't you know how to adapt? Our nobles are picking flowers for the imperial concubine. Your Majesty's favorite imperial concubine, you are here to stop him and spread it out. Don't say that the imperial concubine is angry, even if His Majesty hears it, he will definitely be angry."
"The ranks and lows are orderly, and the rules cannot be destroyed." Aunt Jing said, "I only know that the queen is the most noble woman in the palace."
Guiren Wu rolled his eyes.
Guiren Wu was somewhat taboo to the queen, but it did not mean that she would respect the palace maids around the queen.
Who in the palace knows that the queen is not favored, and His Majesty is extremely disgusted with the queen.
Concubine Wu sneered: "High and low, I am the orderly, I am the most respectful, you are the servant. Aunt Jing, my concubine's temper is not good, so don't make me angry."
Wu Guiren thought secretly, what if he contradicted the queen? Even if he contradicted, she cried in front of the imperial concubine and in front of His Majesty. In the harem, she would only feel that the queen was not arrogant and had a bad temper.
Thinking of this, Wu Guiren even had a vague hope to contradict the queen. After all, the queen was led by Empress Dowager Qi. When Empress Dowager Qi was there, she was an extremely powerful person. If she contradicted and bullied the queen, Wu Guiren would feel a secret pleasure.
The author has something to say: At this time, Li Yi said: In the position of the queen, Qi Yue, a brainless and vicious girl, cannot be allowed to sit down.
After a while, Li Yi: My dear, please sit down!
