Taking the initiative to remarry! The crazy prince is obsessed with me
Chapter 75: Shen Xiyue's Chapter Within a Chapter
The visiting card was delivered to the palace, and soon she received a reply. Concubine Qi asked her to enter the palace at 9:00 a.m. the next morning.
Shen Xiyue nodded. She knew that Concubine Qi would definitely meet her.
She picked up the hot tea on the table and took a sip slowly. Ran Luoguo's idea was too big, so big and so vicious. It was a chain of events, and every step could not go wrong.
She needs to sort things out, think things through, and make full preparations.
"Hongmei, bring me my spice box..."
"Yes."
Shen Xiyue ground the spices carefully and mixed them into the proportion she wanted.
The weather outside was just right, and a gentle breeze was blowing, making the already fragmented sunlight flow even more, as if being busy could make her forget the things she didn't want to face last night.
The next day, Shen Xiyue, dressed in a light blue dress and keeping a low profile, took a carriage out of Princess Huayang's Mansion and entered the palace. After getting off the carriage at the second gate, a nanny led her to the harem.
When she reached the gate of Yiku Palace, Shen Xiyue stopped and saw a familiar face.
It was a very cold day, and Concubine Fang was kneeling in her palace dress with her head lowered and her eyes bowed. However, the palace servants coming and going seemed to be used to it and no one paid any attention.
Shen Xiyue knelt down and saluted her: "I hope you are well, Madam Fang."
When Concubine Fang heard someone greeting her, she shuddered immediately.
He raised his head tremblingly, and when he saw that it was Shen Xiyue, he breathed a sigh of relief, and hurriedly glanced inside the door, then knelt straighter, and said a little uncomfortably:
"Yes, Princess Huayang... Since you are here to see the queen, please go in quickly."
Shen Xiyue knew a thing or two about the situation in the harem. She naturally knew how difficult it was for Concubine Fang, who had no favors, no family background, no looks, and only an empty title, to make a living under the spoiled and jealous Concubine Qi.
But that was none of her business.
What's more, Concubine Fang still didn't want to talk to her anymore...
She withdrew her gaze, nodded slightly, and stepped into the gate of Yiku Palace.
Although it is autumn and winter, the yard is full of exotic flowers and plants growing vigorously. Upon closer inspection, I found that there were several stoves placed among the flowers and plants in the yard, but there was no trace of charcoal... Only red charcoal can have such an effect.
Shen Xiyue secretly thought it was a luxury. According to the palace rules, concubines and above were only allowed one basket of red snail charcoal every winter, and the rest of the charcoal for heating was silver thread charcoal.
As for the Yikun Palace, people never consider anything to be precious.
Stepping into the main hall, Concubine Qi was leaning on the beauty couch in the room, and the palace maid was carefully applying delicate and smooth ointment to her hands.
"Your Highness, how are you!"
Shen Xiyue knelt down and saluted politely, with concern in her eyes: "I heard that your majesty was restless a few days ago, so I specially found a jade ruyi from Western Xinjiang to help your majesty sleep."
Frost Leaf behind him hurriedly handed the box forward, and a palace maid took it and opened it for Concubine Qi to see.
The jade ruyi is white and smooth all over, and feels warm to the touch. There is a small and exquisite sachet hanging on it, and the smell of it can make people feel relieved.
Shen Xiyue seemed a little embarrassed: "Your Majesty, this sachet was embroidered by me. It contains some spices from Western Xinjiang. I hope Your Majesty will not dislike it."
Concubine Qi had no interest in it at first. There were so many valuable things in the palace. How could she care about a mere jade ruyi?
But maybe she is old now, when she hears someone say that they have given her something made by hand, she feels that it is very precious!
"Okay, okay, I like it very much! Xiyue, you are such a thoughtful child." Concubine Qi looked at Shen Xiyue with praise, and asked casually, "Tell me, you are such a good child, why can't you win Xun'er's heart?"
Shen Xiyue felt speechless. That scumbag Qi Xun only cared about that woman Gu Zhilan.
But she was not surprised that Concubine Qi said this. After all, Concubine Qi was Qi Xun's aunt, so she would support Qi Xun... What's more, she didn't come here today to compete with Concubine Qi. She could say whatever she wanted.
Shen Xiyue deliberately sighed heavily, with a frustrated expression on her face: "Xiyue is unlucky, we are just not destined to be together..."
"Oh."
Concubine Qi's delicate hands were finally smeared with perfume. She reached out and stroked the jade ruyi, not dwelling on it any further: "Xun'er, he is just young and playful. As a woman, you have to bear more..."
Concubine Qi spoke freely about how a woman should regard her husband as her God and should be gentle and tolerant. Seeing that Shen Xiyue was listening respectfully, she liked her even more.
"Why are you still standing? Someone, give the princess a seat and let her sit next to me."
"Thank you, Your Majesty." Shen Xiyue responded and sat down next to Concubine Qi.
Then she took the initiative to say, "Your Majesty, I have learned some massage techniques. Can I massage your shoulders?"
So Concubine Qi was even happier. She liked people of noble status to serve her personally. Shen Xiyue's words really touched her heart.
Shen Xiyue's hands were strong, having learned a few tricks from Shuang Ye yesterday. At this moment, she was pinching Concubine Qi so hard that she squinted her eyes and her whole body relaxed.
Concubine Qi praised from the bottom of her heart: "Xiyue, your cooking skills are really good."
Shen Xiyue's smile deepened: "When I was at home, I also massaged my mother's shoulders like this. My mother always said that you are considerate. Now that you are not feeling well, Xiyue can't help but feel distressed."
"Yes, it would be nice to have a girl, but unfortunately, I am not destined to give birth to a princess." Concubine Qi responded with this as soon as she opened her mouth, but there was no trace of regret in her tone.
In Concubine Qi's view, only those incompetent people in the harem could give birth to princesses, such as Concubine Liang.
Shen Xiyue lowered her eyes and smiled: "Yes, the two princes under your majesty's knees are both of great stature and appearance, both are first-class figures, and your majesty is even more blessed!"
"You are such a sweet-talker, girl!" Concubine Qi was very happy to be coaxed.
Shen Xiyue's words came out bit by bit: "Although the queen has no princess, the two princes have married princesses now, so the queen has filial daughters-in-law."
Concubine Qi was a little confused for a moment. Why was she talking about her daughter-in-law again? But it was true that her two sons' wives and concubines were quite obedient... She just responded, "That's right. They should all come over and serve me, so that I can enjoy more."
"My queen is so lucky."
Shen Xiyue stopped talking about this topic and said, "Your Majesty, actually, Xiyue came to the palace today because I want to ask you a favor."
"What's the matter?" Concubine Qi was in a good mood because of her coaxing, and she was not annoyed at any request at this moment.
Shen Xiyue paused and said with an embarrassed look on her face:
"Your Majesty, I want to invite all the noble sons and daughters of the capital to hold a snow-viewing banquet on the day of the first snow. Your Majesty, can you please be kind to me and ask the prince to come as well..."
