Although Lu Xin was dissatisfied, she still pretended to be happy to receive the order, only to see her slam her head on the ground and say loudly: "The people's daughter thanks the emperor for his grace, may the emperor be blessed and healthy for thousands of generations, year after year." ”

Everyone present thought that Lu Xin, who had no identity and no background, was so happy that she was incoherent because she made a positive and second-grade noble appearance in one leap. Only Xuanyuan Rui could see that Lu Xin was deliberately acting in such a play, and he knew that she was unhappy.

Then Huang Gonggong read: "Li Ji, Zhang Ji, Chen Ji, Fan Ji, Zhu Ji, Wan Ji take the order."

Of the six people who heard their names and could count them on all their fingers, only one was missing. Lu Xin looked at the several concubines who came out of the queue and found that Zhu Ji was not present, she wondered why she was absent for such a major canonization scene

Just as everyone was looking at each other and guessing, Uncle De, the housekeeper, stood up and knelt down and said: "The slave knocked on the emperor and begged the emperor to give the slave a crime of ineffectiveness, it was the slave who betrayed the emperor's trust."

After Uncle De finished speaking, he burst into tears, and Xuanyuan Rui asked, "To be honest, why isn't Zhu Ji here?"

I saw Uncle De wipe away his tears and said to Xuanyuan Rui: "Back to the emperor, on the way back to Kyoto, Mrs. Zhu was overwhelmed by grief and all her thoughts were lost, and finally committed suicide by hanging the beam. blamed the slaves for their ineffective care, which led to the death of Mrs. Zhu, and it was only for the emperor to cure the slaves. ”

Xuanyuan Rui couldn't help but be shocked after hearing this, he knew that he had lied about his death to kill Zhu Ji. He remembered Zhu Ji's previous president, and among the several concubines, only Zhu Ji could become a confidant with him. She has never asked for anything from herself, she has always been silently waiting and waiting, and her indifference makes herself feel burdened.

Lu Xin couldn't believe that Zhu Ji's death was real, a woman died for a man she loved, and the man Zhu Ji loved was also the man she loved, and she felt sorry for Zhu Ji's death. Such a good year was lost because of a lie. Lu Xin felt tightness in her chest and couldn't breathe, she looked at Xuanyuan Rui and found that his brows were tightly locked, and his eyes revealed sadness.

Lu Xin thought: "What is he thinking, is he sad, after all, Zhu Ji used to be his woman, and he should be sad for her, but why do I feel so uncomfortable, what should I do?"

Lu Xin looked at all the women in the hall, they all lowered their heads, Lu Xin felt very helpless, these are all women in the hero's family, they were sent to fill the harem, some of them may be forced to be helpless, and some of them were sent voluntarily, whether they exist here because of interests or not, in short, they are all here to carve up their own men.

Before entering the palace, Lu Xin had never considered that after Xuanyuan Rui would one day become the emperor, the harem would be a battlefield that she had to face and accept, and all of this had touched her bottom line, and she suddenly wanted to escape from here.

Xuanyuan Rui said: "Posthumously crowning Zhu Ji as a concubine, during my reign, the position of concubine will always be reserved for her, and no longer canonize the second person."

As soon as Xuanyuan Rui's words came out, everyone was shocked, what a noble honor this is, it has never been seen in the history of Yu Liguo, and it can't help but make people envious and jealous in their hearts to be so favored and treated differently. But Lu Xin smiled silently, she thought: "Everyone is dead, no matter how big the honor is, it is just a false name, men usually think that this can make up for a woman's love for him, so that he can live a life without guilt and peace of mind?"

After Xuanyuan Rui finished speaking, he got up and left the Xuanzheng Palace, leaving only the eunuchs to continue the canonization.

At night, after Lu Xin returned to the Phoenix Palace, she had been listless and depressed, she was still thinking about the daytime, thinking of the beautiful and intellectual Zhu Ji, and thinking of Xuanyuan Rui. She wondered if he would come tonight, and she wondered if he had gone to some new woman in the palace, or maybe he was alone in the dormitory, mourning his departed lover.

The more Lu Xin thought about it, the more confused she became, but she couldn't control her thoughts, she pounded her pillow in annoyance, feeling a nameless fire burning in her heart, but she couldn't vent it.

Xiao Xuan saw that Lu Xin was sulking alone, and she kept pounding the pillow to get angry, she hurriedly ran over and asked anxiously: "Miss, Miss, what's wrong with you to see you beat it to death, this pillow didn't provoke you?"

Lu Xin took a deep breath, threw the pillow into the corner, and said casually, "I'm so bored."

Xiao Xuan was thinking: The emperor hasn't come to visit Miss for several days, no wonder Miss is bored. Xiaoxuan snickered and said to Lu Xin: "Miss, you miss the emperor, the slave maid went to the door to guard you, see if the emperor is here?"

Lu Xin was even more unhappy after hearing this, she said: "I hate him to death, I hate him to death, I don't want him."

When Xiao Xuan heard this, she hurriedly reached out to cover Lu Xin's mouth and said, "Miss, don't let the emperor listen to this, otherwise."

Before Xiao Xuan's words were finished, she had already seen a tall figure standing at the door, Xiao Xuan quickly let go of the hand covering Lu Xin, knelt down to the figure in a panic and said, "Slave and maid knock to see the emperor."

Xuanyuan Rui said lightly: "Retreat"

Xiao Xuan immediately got up and retreated, still worried about the conversation just now, I don't know if the emperor listened.

Lu Xin looked at Xuanyuan Rui in surprise, he didn't expect that he would come to his palace alone in the middle of the night, and he didn't bring any attendants with him. Lu Xin asked: "It's so late, why did the emperor come over to me This is the palace?"

When Xuanyuan Rui heard Lu Xin say unwelcome words to himself, and when he heard Lu Xin say that he hated himself at the door, Xuanyuan Rui's heart suddenly had a nameless fire in his heart. He clasped Lu Xin in his arms, lifted her chin with one hand and forced her to look directly at him, Xuanyuan Rui said, "Is this how you talk to me?"

The moment Lu Xin leaned over Xuanyuan Rui, he smelled the strong smell of wine on his body, and he felt angry in his heart, angry why he was drinking alone, angry why he refused to tell himself if he had something on his mind, and came to put his emperor stinky in front of him. Lu Xin angrily wanted to push Xuanyuan Rui away, but found that he had been hugged tightly by him, and he couldn't push it away.

Xuanyuan Rui didn't expect Lu Xin to refuse him, he hugged Lu Xin and kissed her lips hard, not allowing her to provoke himself again. Lu Xin was imprisoned by Xuanyuan Rui's hands and couldn't move, she felt like a lowly object of desire, if others treated her like this, it would be okay, but this was the man she loved. At this time, he was in a bad mood because he missed another woman and came to himself to be drunk, Lu Xin tried hard to break free from Xuanyuan Rui's embrace, she said angrily: "Xuanyuan Rui, you let go of me, let go of me."

Xuanyuan Rui grabbed Lu Xinzheng and waved his hands, and said angrily: "I won't let go of you, I won't let go of you in this life, and you don't want to run away from me."

After Xuanyuan Rui finished speaking, he picked up Lu Xin and walked to the couch, conquering her anger one by one.

Early the next morning, Xuanyuan Rui went to the morning court, Lu Xin thought that she could sleep well, but she didn't expect Li Guiyi to visit suddenly. Lu Xin had no choice but to prop up her tired body and sit in front of the dresser, and let the palace maids dress up for herself. When dressing up, Lu Xin sat and fell asleep until Xiaoxuan said in her ear, "Miss, it's okay." Oh, no, no, it should be called Guirong. ”

Lu Xin opened her eyes and glanced at Xiaoxuan, then stood up and looked at herself in the mirror, and suddenly found that she had mottled purple-red kiss marks on her neck, she remembered last night, and her face couldn't help but blush.

Lu Xin said to Xiao Xuan, "Bring me the scarf."

Xiao Xuan said in surprise: "Guirong, the weather is not cold today."

Lu Xin pointed to the marks on her neck and said, "How can you go out to meet people like this?"

Xiao Xuan said: "Guirong, this is to let people see, let those who don't have long eyes see how much the emperor loves our Guirong, maybe Na Li Guiyi came over today to show off to you."

When Lu Xin heard this, she asked inexplicably: "Show off what?"

Xiao Xuan said: "Guirong, don't you know, after the canonization yesterday, all those concubines who were lower than the second grade went to Li Guiyi's Jinhua Palace as guests, and they also gave a lot of generous gifts. But only our palace is deserted, how can you say that you are also a good second-class, they shouldn't favor one over the other, after all, Li Guiyi doesn't have a high-powered father?"

Lu Xin listened to Xiao Xuan's words and knew that she was fighting for herself, Lu Xin thought that it would be a very dull harem life, but she didn't expect to show an opposing situation so soon. However, in her impression, Li Guiyi has always been kind and kind, and she will never be of the same grade as those rich and wealthy women who climb rocks.

Lu Xin comforted Xiaoxuan and said, "It's okay, don't think about other people's bad things, go and bring the scarf, don't let Li Guiyi wait for a long time."

After hearing this, Xiao Xuan reluctantly took a scarf to help Lu Xin wrap around.

When Lu Xin came to the hall, she saw Li Guiyi sitting on a chair and waiting, and when Li Guiyi saw Lu Xin come out, she immediately stood up and greeted her, and said with a smile: "Sister Xin, I haven't seen you for a long time."

Lu Xin was at a loss by this sudden enthusiasm, but she also smiled at her out of politeness, Lu Xin looked at Li Guiyi, and was about to respond enthusiastically, but she never thought that Xiao Xuan would start to speak one step ahead of herself: "How did our family's noble face become Li Guiyi's sister?"

As soon as Xiao Xuan's words came out, everyone present knew that she had something to say. At this time, the smiles of Li Guiyi and Lu Xin froze at the same time.

Xiaocui, the maid who has been following Li Guiyi, also retorted: "Xiaoxuan, although you and I both belong to the second grade, regardless of size, but when it comes to whose master follows the emperor first, it is also our family Li Guiyi first." Then why can't our family Liguiyi call Xin Guirong and say sister?"
