"Princess, this is the Virtuous Palace." The maid led me to a large hall, and I nodded to her, and she went up the steps, buckled the bronze ring engraved with the lion pattern on the door, and went to report.

The little maid whispered a few words to the palace maid who came out of the palace, and the palace maid turned around and went back, and after a while, Qi Wang Rongchen walked out.

"Sister Qingyi," King Qi walked up to me and saluted, "Is there something wrong with my sister's visit today?" ”

"Back to the sixth prince, the princess wants to ask to see Concubine Xian." The little maid replied in a low voice.

"I want you to talk more!" The sixth prince suddenly shouted angrily, I was really startled, and the little maid was even more frightened and quickly knelt on the ground and made amends, "The slave has a lot of mouths, and the slave has a lot of mouths...... The Six Princes ...... angry"

Why did he do it? I looked at him in horror, I couldn't speak, how could I answer him?

"Oh...... I'm sorry, I forgot, Qingyi, you're a mute. King Qi changed his attitude as if he had an epiphany, and said to me with a faint smile.

Although he had a smile on his face, there was a joke in his words, I listened a little harshly, the word dumb sounded really uncomfortable, although I was really speechless, but the imperial doctor said that I was only temporarily speechless, and everyone was very evasive about this matter, and kept silent, and he, with this attitude today, issued a provocative rage.

I bowed to him and made a gesture of please, today I am here to see Concubine Xian, and I can't back down because of the unfriendliness of the six princes. And he is not at all as bold and calm as he was in Anle Palace that day, and he is no longer enthusiastic and kind, with a look of detachment on his face, as if all this has nothing to do with him, I am begging others not begging him.

I just stood there with my hands folded, not knowing what to do, and it was not good to get up, nor was it to get up. Embarrassment and grievances flooded my mind, what did I do wrong to provoke him to disrespect me like this.

"I think there are some things that we may have misunderstood, so let's get it clear today." King Qi smiled lightly, looking up at me proudly, his eyes were full of disdain and disgust, but it seemed that I was an object he wanted to lose but couldn't. I straightened up and looked at him, not knowing what he was saying that he hadn't made clear.

"Qingyi, I heard that the concubine Niangniang took Yucheng to visit you, right?" He raised his eyebrows and asked me with a cold face.

I nodded in embarrassment, but hadn't he been here before? Could it be that after he came, others would not be able to come to Anle Palace to see me again? Besides, it's not something I've done wrong.

King Qi continued: "I have also visited you before, but that is just the etiquette and duty that you should do as a brother, you must not take it to heart, on the contrary, I think you and Yucheng are quite suitable, and I support the affairs of the two of you very much." ”

I was annoyed, and all of a sudden he said what did he mean by that? He was the first to come to me to show his kindness, but now he has such an attitude that has wiped out my relationship with him, what? Did I get caught up with him? What is this? I didn't have to marry him, what did he mean by being so desperate to push me to Iyucheng? Will it be his turn to decide whether I marry or not? Am I a thing? Grab it when you want to, and throw it away when you don't want it?

I lowered my head and ignored him, wanting to bypass him and go to the Xianling Palace to find Concubine Xian. But he took a step back, crossed in front of me, and said disdainfully, "What do you want to do?" Do you think it's the use of looking for my mother? ”

I suddenly raised my head and glared at him, he looked down on people too much! I don't think he's here because of Twilight, and what I'm asking for is not for their previous favor and pursuit of me, which I'm not rare at all!

"Qingyi, I might as well tell you, I am the one who will be the emperor in the future, and I also have high requirements for my spouse, she must not only be able to raise eyebrows with me, but also help me consolidate the government, but as the mother of a country, the grooming and appearance are naturally the best, and you have a wound on your face, you can't show people head-on, and you are a dumb person, I think we are not suitable. I know that there are too many people in this harem who want to climb up with power, and I have seen a lot of this method, and you don't have to act anymore. He spoke with contempt, as if I had come today to ask him to marry me, as if he had seen through me a long time ago.

Oh, what a joke! I was shaking with anger, my teeth were rattling, and if I could speak now, I would have scolded this two-faced hypocrite! Is it really a dog's eyes to look down on people, too narcissistic and too conceited, and all the women in the world are with him because of his power? Don't you look in the mirror to see how many pounds and taels you have? His scheming and ability can't fight the concubine, he can't fight the prince in terms of favor and delicacy, and he doesn't have the inner cultivation strength and external voice to support him, what does he use to compete for the crown prince? Where did he get the confidence to say such a big thing here!

However, when the saint promised to make Liduxue the future queen, he tore off the mask of charity and showed a sinister face, insulting me like this, what qualifications does this kind of person with extremely corrupt character have to be the crown prince!

I gave him a cold look, turned and left! For this kind of person, staying with him for an extra second is an insult to yourself! The little maid got up timidly, trotted behind me, looking at the angry expression on my face, she whispered comforting: "Princess, don't take it too seriously, the princess will slowly get used to it in the future, this palace is like this, when you are beautiful, everyone comes to stutter, when you lose power, no one will come to pull a hand, the wall is down and everyone pushes this is the eternal truth, if the princess is angry for these things, it is not worth it......"

I stopped and turned my head to look at the little maid, who nervously lowered her head and apologized: "Slave damn it!" Slaves and maids should not talk too much......"

Presumably it was the anger on my face that had not yet been restrained that scared her, and I shook her hand and signaled to her not to be nervous, I was not angry with her.

She's right, why can't she even help it? In this palace, if I don't come, I am just a princess with no background, although I am the daughter of the Holy Lord of the Northern Desert, but my father and mother have already passed away, how can I have any power to order others? In this palace, it is just a superfluous existence, and because of the love of my mother, the saint decided to treat me well, support me well, and even ask me to be the future queen. But his mind changed so quickly, just because Twilight Xue didn't even have to consult with me, my place was immediately taken by someone else, although I didn't want this future position, but this feeling of not being taken seriously and being pushed around was too uncomfortable!

This is the favor and fall from grace in the harem, in a thought, overnight and in an instant. When the Holy One remembered me, everyone came to care for me and befriend me, and it seemed that the whole family was harmonious and happy. But now, just without a false name, everyone suddenly turned a cold eye on me and abandoned me, but the leader of all this, the current saint, my uncle, now it is so difficult for me to even see him.

In fact, the women in the harem are not born with scheming, but their fate is never in their own hands, everything they are in the hands of that man, a casual decision can change a person's life, turning his hands into clouds and turning his hands into rain, maybe in his opinion, it is just inadvertent, but for these women, it is a lifetime of desolation and cruelty.

I can't be defeated, I must see the saint, for the sake of Twilight, and for myself, I think now, I can finally tell him in my heart that I am going back to the Northern Desert.

What political stability, what containment of the Northern Desert, what long-term stability, I don't want to care, I can't care, I think, the prosperity and prosperity of a country, shouldn't it be a proposition that these men should think about? But why do they always have to put these responsibilities on women? Including Heze, who wanted to marry Qi Ming, including me who was left in the palace, and Dusk Xue who they didn't dare to impose but jumped into the shackles themselves.

No, it wasn't supposed to be this way.

I gestured with the maid and asked her to take me to see the concubine.

The little maid looked unbearable, and said in a whisper, "Princess, are you sure you want to go?" It is estimated that the concubine's face is not much better...... After all, they have given us gifts, we have taken other people's hands short, and now we can't give them the power they want, I guess ......"

I smiled at her and nodded to her firmly, this little difficulty, it still can't scare me, those gifts were sent by themselves, and I didn't ask them for them, I haven't opened any of them, I'm not afraid of anything, I went back to Anle Palace today, I will return these things again, and I don't owe anyone anything.

The little maid obediently took me to the concubine's bedroom, still knocked on the brass ring on the vermilion door, and whispered a few words to the maid inside, and she came over, stood behind me, and waited quietly.

All I can do now is wait quietly, time passes slowly, and I don't know what news will come from inside that palace gate. It was already getting dark, and I watched the orange-red sunset, slowly disappearing behind the cornices, leaving only a glowing yellow.

After a while, the gate finally opened, and a maid-like figure came out, and I hurried forward to meet it.

"Princess Qingyi." The little maid saluted politely.

I looked at her eagerly, waiting for her results, my mind was blank at the moment, I don't know if the concubine is as inflammatory, if she also avoids it, then I really don't know who else to turn to.

"The concubine Niangniang asked Princess Qingyi to come in and talk." The little maid said respectfully.
