Quick Wear: The Female Supporting Character's Counterattack

Xianxian found a half candle in the corner of the hall and lit it, then looked at the dim palace and sighed.

"It looks like we can only wait for the rain to stop. This place is too remote, and Manager Li won't be able to find us for a while. It's cloudy outside, and it looks like it's getting dark."

The surroundings were extremely quiet. Apart from the sound of rain outside, the only sound was Xianxian's voice.

Seeing that she was talking but Liu Zhen ignored her, Xianxian couldn't help but come to his side holding a candle.

But as soon as she got closer, she noticed a tear running down the corner of his eye, before Xianxian could ask in confusion.

At this time, Liu Zhen said softly, "I have been looking for this place for many years. When I was six years old, I had an argument with the Queen Mother and got lost, and accidentally came to a palace."

"The palace was desolate and deserted, but I saw my mother living inside. Unlike the mother in my memory who was always dressed up beautifully, she was no longer wearing a gorgeous dress."

"She was so thin that she was just a skeleton. She was wearing a green and yellow skirt and only a plain hairpin on her head."

Liu Zhen did not call himself "Zhen", but used "I" instead, because in his mind, at this moment he was just a child who missed his mother.

Xianxian on the side did not say anything, because she was familiar with the plot. Liu Zhen and the Queen Mother were just in a cooperative relationship of helping each other.

Therefore, in Liu Zhen's mind, she always missed her biological mother, but it was a pity that she died suddenly before she left the cold palace.

Liu Zhen felt that he had grown up, but he could not give his mother the honor he should have. This made him unable to sleep every day, as if a needle was pricking his heart.

"Sang Xianxian, do you miss your mother?"

Suddenly Liu Zhen asked out of the blue. Xianxian came back to her senses and looked at him. Liu Zhen's eyes were full of sadness.

At this moment, he took off all his disguises and couldn't help but expose his most vulnerable side in front of Xianxian.

Xianxian nodded gently and said, "My father and mother died when I was very young. After they died, my brother raised me and went from house to house begging for food."

"But the food I begged for was not enough to support me, so my brother sent me to the palace. I can no longer remember what my father and mother look like, but my brother told me that they loved me the most."

At this time, Xianxian looked at Liu Zhen steadily, "I once missed my parents very much. My brother told me that people's spirits still exist in heaven after they die. Even if they are not with us, they know whether we are living well or not."

"So I must live, live well, eat well, dress warmly and be happy, so that my father and mother won't worry."

The woman standing beside him was petite and slender, but her eyes were full of determination.

The dim light of the candle illuminated her delicate face, and for some reason Liu Zhen thought of his mother.

That stubborn and beautiful woman, Concubine De was the most favored concubine in the harem. The late emperor was still muttering Concubine De's name before he died.

It’s a pity that Concubine Dowager De’s character was too tough, and she never chose to forgive the late emperor during the years she spent in the cold palace.

For some reason, Liu Zhen asked Xianxian, "Xianxian, I want to posthumously confer the title of empress dowager on my biological mother, but all the civil and military officials in the court are against it. Do you think I am wrong?"

In fact, Liu Zhen already had the answer in his heart. No matter how much people outside opposed it, in Liu Zhen's eyes, posthumously conferring the title of Concubine Tai on his biological mother was only a reasonable thing.

However, these people are controlled by the Queen Mother, so he cannot show his talents.

Xianxian did not speak bluntly, but looked at Liu Zhen hesitantly, "I dare not speak nonsense about state affairs."

You have to know that Liu Zhen has just taken over the affairs of the court and he must want to make a career.

But the Queen Mother was watching closely behind her, and to posthumously confer the title of Concubine Dowager De on her would be a slap in her face, and the Queen Mother would never allow it.

In the plot, if Gao Liumin had not intervened, Liu Zhen's succession to the title of Concubine Dowager De would not have been smooth.

Liu Zhen shook his head and said, "I allow you to speak. No matter what you say, I will not blame you. Your words are not a joke."

After hearing Liu Zhen's promise that he would not blame her, Xianxian raised her head and spoke softly.

"Your Majesty, I think that your majesty's posthumous title of Concubine De is out of filial piety, and it is also reasonable. Doesn't the Queen Mother have children herself?"

"Princess Zhaochang is still unmarried. Wouldn't the Queen Mother make plans for her daughter?"

Princess Zhaochang is younger than Liu Zhen. She is only fourteen years old. When the empress dowager gave birth to this only daughter, she was truly doted on.

Now they are happily selecting a prince consort for her, and are just waiting to marry their daughter to the capital in a few years so that they can summon her every day.

However, if this matter could be put into practice, perhaps the Queen Mother would be able to agree to posthumously confer the title of Concubine Dowager De on Liu Zhen.

It was a great idea that could both posthumously confer a title on Concubine Dowager De and severely strike the Empress Dowager.

Liu Zhen looked at Xianxian with shining eyes. He reached out and held Xianxian's hands, but accidentally let a drop of wax fall on the back of Xianxian's hands.

Xianxian cried out in pain, "hiss."

Liu Zhen reacted and quickly took away the candle, put her slender little hand under the candlelight, and saw a mark left by the burn on her wrist.

"His Majesty."

Her slender hand was being held by Liu Zhen, and Xianxian couldn't help but blush and speak shyly.

She wanted to struggle and pull her hand free, but Liu Zhen held it too tightly and refused to let go.

Liu Zhen frowned and said worriedly, "Your hand is burned. I'll ask Xiao Lizi to call a doctor for you."

Hearing this, Xianxian was really at a loss whether to laugh or cry, and she quickly spoke up to stop him.

"Your Majesty, this is impossible. I am just a palace maid. How can I let the imperial physician treat me? Moreover, this is just a simple burn. I can just soak it in water when I get home."

Her eyes were clearly filled with tears of pain, but she still said that it was okay and it didn't hurt.

Liu Zhen couldn't help but feel distressed, "When the rain stops, I'll ask Xiao Lizi to bring you some ointment. Apply it and you'll get better faster."

This time Xianxian did not refuse, "Thank you, Your Majesty."

"Do you know where this is?"

There was silence for a while, and then Liu Zhen suddenly asked.

Xianxian shook her head slightly, her face full of confusion.

She knew Liu Zhen was about to start talking about her past.

It's nothing more than the story of Liu Zhen and Concubine Dowager De when she was a child, which is no different from what was said to Concubine Zhen in the plot.

Zhenpin has been working as a palace maid beside Li Zhen since she was six years old. She knows much more than Xianxian. Her favorite thing is to reminisce the past with Liu Zhen.

Every time she is missed, Concubine Zhen will be favored, which is simply a weapon to win favor.

At this time in the bamboo pavilion, Concubine Zhen had a gloomy face and was soaked in water, looking miserable.

I was thinking of having a wonderful encounter, but the weather was not good and I ended up getting soaked.

She didn't even see the corner of Liu Zhen's clothes.

The palace maids serving Zhenpin were so scared that they didn't dare to breathe. You know, Zhenpin's face was darker than the sky at that time.

Looking at Liu Zhen's furrowed brows, Xianxian suddenly reached out and smoothed them and spoke softly.

"Your Majesty, that is all in the past. Your Majesty has grown up now. I'm sure Concubine De doesn't want Your Majesty to live in the past. I know Your Majesty misses his mother, but the dead are gone. Your Majesty should live in the present."

"If Concubine Dowager De knew that Your Majesty was so sad, she would definitely be very worried."

Doesn’t Zhenbin like to recall the past?

Then I will let Liu Zhen look forward and turn her nostalgia into a joke.

Xianxian quickly withdrew her hand, but Liu Zhen put away his sadness and just stared at her with a smile on his face.

"Your name is Sang Xianxian. Are you willing to be my woman? I will grant you the position of my wife, okay?"

This question stumped Xianxian, who was standing in a daze in the distance with a complicated expression on her face.

She turned around and said, "Your Majesty, I am just a weakling. I cannot compare with the ladies in the palace, let alone be worthy of you."

Such a rejection is not sincere. You have to know that with her delicate appearance, no other woman in the harem can match her.

Liu Zhen was rejected again, but he didn't feel angry.

"Why? Can you tell me why you don't want to? If you just feel that you are not worthy of me, then this reason is too far-fetched."

Just as Xianxian was about to open her mouth to answer, Manager Li's voice sounded at the right time.

"Your Majesty! You made it very difficult for me to find you. Your Majesty, are you not wet by the rain?"

"If it is true that Your Majesty has caught a cold, I will have enough heads to chop off!"

A crowd of people came in and knelt on the ground. Xianxian could only stand aside obediently.

Liu Zhen glared at Manager Li unhappily, and then gave instructions to Xiao Luzi.

"Send Sang Xianxian back, watch her drink the ginger soup, and give her some ointment for the burns."

Xiao Luzi replied, "Yes."

In this way, Xianxian followed Xiao Luzi, and when she was about to walk out of the palace gate, she couldn't help but look back and meet Liu Zhen's eyes.

The two of them looked at each other from a distance, and their intertwined eyes actually had a somewhat drawn feeling.

This made Liu Zhen's heart tremble. When Manager Li, who was standing by, saw Liu Zhen in a daze, he knew it was because of Xianxian.

Aunt Bai is truly amazing. Your Majesty’s heart is about to be won over by her.

Liu Zhen came back to his senses and said, "Little Li, check Sang Xianxian for me, especially her fiancé."

"Yes, I will check it right away."

At this time, Xianxian didn't know that Liu Zhen had already ordered Manager Li to check on her fiancé.

But even if she knew, she wouldn't take it to heart.

The original body's fiancé is a scumbag. In the plot, he helped Gao Liumin sell the original body and spread all kinds of rumors that the original body and he were childhood sweethearts.

The rumor spread that the two of them had already secretly decided to spend their lives together, but the original body abandoned him for fame and fortune.

In fact, he already has a true love in private, but in order to help the Gao family, he wants to gain benefits for himself.

He announced to the public that he had never married, just to wait for the original body to leave the palace.

What a lovesick person! In comparison, the original person was scolded as a vain and bad woman.

Because of this incident, Liu Zhen was distrustful and others accused him, which was a huge blow to the original body.

When I returned to my yard, Aunt Bai was already waiting there.

When she saw Xiao Luzi, her eyes lit up. You know, Xiao Luzi is Liu Zhen's father-in-law.

Among the eunuchs in the Daqian Palace, apart from Chief Eunuch Li, Xiao Luzi was the one closest to Liu Zhen.

"Aunt Bai, His Majesty asked me to bring the girl back."

When she heard that it was Liu Zhen who asked Xiao Lizi to send Xianxian back, Aunt Bai said with a look of disbelief on her face.

"Did His Majesty really ask you to send someone back? That's great."

Xiao Luzi knew what Aunt Bai was thinking, so he also said with a smile.

"Your Majesty values ​​the girl very much. When the girl was with him, she accidentally hurt her hand with the candle wax. He asked me to send her back personally. He also specifically told me to watch the girl drink ginger soup carefully and not to catch a cold."

After hearing these words, Aunt Bai knew that Xianxian's future was secure, so she quickly handed Xiao Luzi a purse.

Xiao Luzi declined at first but then accepted it, and then went to serve ginger soup to Xianxian.

Aunt Bai was the only one left in the room. She clasped her hands together and said happily.

"Amitabha, it looks like everything will go as planned. Xianxian, you better be prepared."
