After Xiao Xuan cleaned up, he followed Bai He into the palace.

When she arrived at Yihua Palace, Brother Min had been sent by Emperor Liu's concubine to study in the palace.

Concubine Liu didn't know where to find a wooden horse, and Sister Su happily sat on it. The four feet of the wooden horse are equipped with wooden wheels that can be rotated, and there is a palace maid in front of them holding the reins of the wooden horse, pulling Sister Su to turn slowly in the courtyard.

Concubine Liu Huang smiled and sat under the tree on the side, watching several palace maids play with Sister Su.

It wasn't until Baizhu told her that Xiao Xuan was coming, and the smile on her face immediately froze.

"Let the princess take the princess to the side hall for a while." Emperor Liu said. "You're here watching Sister Su play."

Xiao Xuan was led to the side hall by Bai He, and walking on the path in the palace of Yihua Palace, she could hear Sister Su'er's crisp laughter and talking. However, Emperor Liu's concubine didn't let her go over, and directly let people lead her to the side hall.

"Princess, wait a minute, the mother will be able to come over in a while." Bai He settled Xiao Xuan and sat down, and asked his little palace maid to bring tea and snacks. "The slave and the maid retreat outside the palace, and the princess can call people directly if she has any orders."

"Okay, I got it." Xiao Xuan nodded. "Stand down."

Bai He didn't speak again, lowered his head and retreated to the outside of the hall with his little palace maids.

Emperor Liu's concubine deliberately wanted to hang Xiao Xuan, Xiao Xuan sat alone in the side hall, drinking tea and waiting for Emperor Liu's concubine for half an hour.

For half an hour, Xiao Xuangan sat there not knowing what to do, so he could only drink tea cup after cup.

Finally, when the last bit of tea was about to bottom, Emperor Liu came over belatedly.

"Say hello to my mother." can be regarded as seeing someone, Xiao Xuan put down the tea in his hand and stood up with relief.

"Sit down." Concubine Liu Huang spoke coldly, and came in directly and sat down.

Xiao Xuan carefully looked at the face of Emperor Liu's concubine, and did not dare to speak.

"I don't know what is the matter with the concubine in a hurry to let me enter the palace?" Xiao Xuan hesitated for a long time and asked tentatively.

"Concubine Xian came to me yesterday and begged me to help her enter Zhaoyang Palace to meet the queen." After Emperor Liu's concubine came in, Bai He came in to add tea.

Seeing this, Xiao Xuan hurriedly motioned to Bai He and asked her to give her the teapot to herself.

"Did the concubine promise to help her?" Xiao Xuan got up and poured tea for Emperor Liu's concubine and asked.

"I am also a mother, and I have known each other for many years, and she cried and begged me so that I could only come down." Emperor Liu's concubine glared at Xiao Xuan angrily and said coldly. "Did you go to listen to what Takemiya told her yesterday?"

"I went to listen to the Bamboo Palace, but I was just worried about Concubine Xian's body, so I went to visit." Xiao Xuan put down the teapot in his hand and subconsciously rubbed his fingers and said.

"Come less, don't you tell the truth to me?" Concubine Liu raised her hand angrily and slapped Xiao Xuan, and said angrily. "You are my daughter, can you really tell the truth from the lie you say?"

"Mother Concubine~~" Emperor Liu's hand was really heavy in a hurry, Xiao Xuan stroked the beaten arm and said aggrievedly. "Yes, I went to see Concubine Xian. But shouldn't the queen give Concubine Xian an explanation? No matter what the second brother said, she grew up in her Zhaoyang Palace, how could she be so cold. Eight years ago, the second brother was demoted out of the imperial capital by his father, but what about her? Her father just sealed her Zhaoyang Palace. She is still the queen, and she has never lacked honor and provisions. ”

"See you soon!" Seeing Xiao Xuan's stubbornness, Emperor Liu's concubine couldn't help but reprimand. "Your Majesty's disposition has your own Majesty's reasoning, where you can put your beak at will."

"But........" Emperor Liu's concubine rarely spoke so violently to Xiao Xuan, and Xiao Xuan couldn't help but reddened her eyes when she heard her reprimand, and choked up. But back then, the queen made people poison her mother, if it weren't for Imperial Doctor Liu's timely discovery of the inappropriateness in the pharmacy. Maybe the mother will ..... At that time, the second brother will bring out the matter of the sixth brother, what else can we do? ”

"Hey......" Seeing Xiao Xuan crying aggrieved, Emperor Liu's concubine sighed and said. Don't always keep the bad things in mind in the past. ”

Xiao Xuan ignored Emperor Liu's words, wiped her tears to herself, and even the tip of her nose gradually turned red.

"Look at you like this, are you ashamed?" Concubine Liu reluctantly pulled out her handkerchief, handed it to Xiao Xuan, and said. "Brother Min is almost nine years old, you can still do this crying and wiping tears here with me, why don't you quickly wipe your face with a handkerchief, beware of Sister Su rushing over and seeing it for a while."

Xiao Xuan had no choice but to take the handkerchief and wipe a few handfuls on his face indiscriminately.

Concubine Liuhuang couldn't stand it anymore when she was sitting fat, so she got up and walked to Xiao Xuan, took the handkerchief from her hand, and carefully wiped the tears on Xiao Xuan's face.

"I have agreed to Concubine Xian's request, and I will try to arrange for her to enter Zhaoyang Palace to meet the queen in the near future." Concubine Liu's hand movements were gentle. "The queen seems to be strong all these years, but in fact she has lost a lot, and the imperial doctor came to tell me a while ago that she was worried that the queen would not survive the next winter."

"Really?" Xiao Xuan looked up and asked.

"It doesn't matter if she's true or not, we just have to live our own lives." Concubine Liu Huang sat down and comforted Xiao Xuan with gentle words. "Your eldest brother is now the crown prince, and your sixth brother is now a lot more sensible. It's you, and you also have a lovely pair of children like Brother Min and Sister Su, and your husband is angry. As long as you are well, the mother concubine can be well. ”

"Mother, I know that I am wrong."

"Xuan'er, you and your sixth brother are still brothers of the same mother, and you are still a little reckless sometimes." Concubine Liu gently stroked Xiao Xuan's hair. "I told you that you are a princess, and as long as you do not commit the great sin of rebellion, you can easily live your life smoothly. Don't talk about others, look at your grandmother, and then look at Princess Nan'an. So there are some things, the mother would rather you don't know the inside story and don't interfere. ”

Xiao Xuan suddenly raised his hand and hugged the waist of Emperor Liu's concubine, and put his head on the shoulder of Emperor Liu's concubine very attachment.

"Mother."

"Alright, let's not talk about that." Concubine Liu touched her face and said with a smile. "The boss is not small, and he still relies on me like this. I have to ask them to bring Sister Su over and take a good look at your appearance. ”

A few days later, Emperor Liu's concubine arranged for Concubine Xian to enter Zhaoyang Palace.

One evening, when the sky was getting dark, two women stopped in front of the palace guards in front of the gate of Zhaoyang Palace.

The woman in the lead handed a sign and went out, and the palace guard guarding the door immediately opened the closed palace door, leaking a crack in the door that could only be entered and exited by one person.

"Please move faster, girl." The palace guard who ordered the door to open the door whispered. "Don't embarrass us."

"Rest assured, my lords, we will definitely come out after a stick of incense."

Both women wore hoods on their heads, covering most of their faces tightly, and the sky was even darker.

Waiting for them to quickly flash into Zhaoyang Palace, the palace door slowly closed again.

"I've seen the Baizhu girl." At this time, a slender palace maid carrying a lantern greeted them and walked in front of the two. "I've seen Concubine Xian."

At this time, Baizhu lifted the hood on his head.

"Concubine Xian, this is the Jinyun who leads the way for you. The slave and maid did not follow in, but guarded outside, and asked the virtuous concubine to remember the agreement with the imperial concubine, no matter how a stick of incense must come back here and follow the slave and maid out of Zhaoyang Palace. ”

"Thank you, Miss Baizhu." At this time, Concubine Xian also took off the hood on her head and thanked Baizhu very solemnly.

"Concubine Xian, please follow the slave." Jinyun reminded in a low voice. "The slave will show you the way."

Zhaoyang Palace has been closed for more than eight years, and Zhaoyang Palace has always been very quiet for more than eight years.

Along the way, Jinyun didn't speak, only walked quietly ahead, turning the lantern from time to time to take care of the virtuous concubine behind her.

Concubine Xian of Zhaoyang Palace has been here many times, and the more she knows that she is closer to the queen, the more depressed her heart becomes.

"Concubine Xian, the palace maid who served by the queen's side at night has been separated by the slave maid." Jinyun led Concubine Xian to the outside of the queen's bedroom, and Jinyun walked to the door and turned around and said to Concubine Xian. "The slave and maid are sent here."

"Thank you." Concubine Xian said in a dumb voice.

"Concubine Xian." Jinyun shook his head, put the lantern down, and pushed open the door of the temple with both hands. "Please."

Different from the darkness outside the door, as soon as Concubine Xian entered the door, the entire dormitory was lit with lights, as bright as day.

Concubine Xian took a few steps inside, and soon saw the queen leaning on the edge of the windowsill.

Since Emperor Chu ordered the closure of Zhaoyang Palace, the concubines of the harem have never seen the queen's face again.

Concubine Xian suddenly saw the queen, and looked at her sunken cheeks, and her whole person was thin and out of shape. The lights in the dormitory were bright, but it was obvious that her face was even more hateful.

"Oh, it's you." The queen was also a little surprised when she suddenly saw someone in her bedroom. "It's a rare guest."

"The concubine has seen the queen." Concubine Xian stood still, stared at the queen firmly, and said. "After eight years of separation, the queen looks a lot haggard."

"yes." After hearing this, the queen subconsciously raised her hand to touch her face. "I heard that you are now a virtuous concubine?"

"Yes." Concubine Xian looked at the queen and responded.

"Your background and favor are average, and at this age, you can still survive to the position of concubine, and it seems that you are also stained with the light of your son." The queen sneered. "A son who has not been by your side for a day after he was born, after he dies, he can exchange his biological mother for a concubine, it seems that Concubine Xian is really a blessing."

It's okay that the queen didn't mention Xiao Jin, but as soon as her words fell, Concubine Xian came forward with a wooden face and raised her hand to slap her.
