Three girlfriends traveled through ancient times and killed people

After several days' long journey, Liu Rumei and Xiao Qingran finally arrived at the gate of the magnificent and solemn imperial palace.

"Mei'er, we're here..." Xiao Qingran said with a slightly trembling voice.

Time flies. After many years, he set foot on this familiar yet unfamiliar land again, and an indescribable feeling of emotion and excitement surged in his heart.

Standing under the majestic palace walls, Liu Rumei couldn't help feeling timid.

The majestic palace before you is not a stage set or a movie scene, but a real imperial palace!

She felt nervous at the thought of marrying into the royal family and becoming the much-anticipated Princess Xiao.

However, deep down in her heart, Liu Rumei also understood that this marriage was of great significance to both of them and the entire country.

So she took a deep breath and tried to calm herself down, and held Xiao Qingran's hand tightly to give each other strength and support.

As the palace gate slowly opened, the two stepped in side by side and officially started a new chapter in their lives...

——In the Queen Mother’s Palace

"Empress Dowager, Empress Dowager..." The old nanny ran out of breath.

"Why are you so flustered?" The queen mother sat on a high throne, dressed in brocade clothes and wearing a phoenix crown on her head. Her whole demeanor was graceful and elegant, and her face was kind but majestic without anger.

"Your Highness, it's the prince. The prince... is back!" The old nanny is an elder serving the empress dowager. She has been serving her since the day she entered the palace.

Upon hearing the news, the Queen Mother stood up excitedly, tightly grasped Mammy's hands and asked, "Who did you say is back?"

"To answer the Queen Mother, it is the prince who has returned." the old nanny replied.

"Could it be that my Ran'er has returned?" The Queen Mother's voice trembled a little, as if she couldn't believe it.

"It's Prince Xiao!" The old nanny knew very well how important Xiao Qingran was in the Queen Mother's heart, so she naturally didn't dare to call him by his name.

"Have you looked carefully? You must not report it wrongly!" At this moment, the Queen Mother was becoming more and more agitated.

"I saw it clearly. Not only did the prince bring back a woman, but he also held her hand tightly from beginning to end!"

"What? There is such a thing! Why would Ran'er suddenly bring a girl back to the palace? And they are holding hands so intimately?"

"Reporting to the Queen Mother, according to my observation, they seem to be heading towards Yongshou Palace."

Yongshou Palace was the palace where the Empress Dowager lived. Upon hearing this, the Empress Dowager was shocked.

"Good, good, good." The Queen Mother said "good" three times in a row, her voice revealing an indescribable sense of relief and excitement.

This child has had a very difficult journey. He has been suffering from a strange disease since he was young. Any woman who touches him will break out in rashes all over his body. Even his mother cannot get close to him.

Every time the Queen Mother saw her son living alone and wanted to hug him but was unable to do so, her heart felt as if it was being cut by a knife.

That was her own flesh and blood! Yet it was so close yet so far away. This feeling made the Queen Mother feel like a knife was cutting her heart and she was in great pain.

The Queen Mother stood at the gate of the palace, looking eagerly into the distance, and finally saw the figure she missed day and night - her second son was walking towards her with firm steps.

"Your son pays respect to the Queen Mother. May the Queen Mother be blessed with good health and happiness!"

Xiao Qingran knelt on his knees and gave a standard salute to the Queen Mother. Behind him was a beautiful woman who also knelt and saluted, saying, "Liu Rumei greets the Queen Mother. May the Queen Mother be blessed with good health."

The Queen Mother quickly helped them both up, her eyes filled with tears, and she said in a slightly choked voice, "Good children, get up quickly, get up quickly." She looked carefully at her son whom she had not seen for a long time, her heart filled with emotion and joy.

Xiao Qingran held Liu Rumei's hand tightly, looked at her affectionately, then turned to the Queen Mother and said, "Mother, this is Liu Rumei, whom I love deeply. I have brought her here to see you today, hoping that you can preside over our marriage."

The Queen Mother felt very relieved when she saw her son's happy appearance.

She knew that Xiao Qingran had been living a lonely life, and now he had finally found his true love. As a mother, how could she not be happy?

"Okay, Ran'er, your mother agrees to preside over your wedding." The Queen Mother replied with a smile.

After hearing the Queen Mother's words, Xiao Qingran and Liu Rumei looked at each other with delight on their faces.

The Queen Mother was so happy that she couldn't stop smiling. She thought to herself: My Ran'er will no longer be alone from now on.

Then the Queen Mother called out warmly, "Rumei, come, come to me." Her eyes were full of love and kindness.

Liu Rumei walked to the Queen Mother's side nervously and felt that the Queen Mother's love for her was beyond words.

After all, it is undoubtedly a great honor for a woman to be recognized by the Queen Mother.

The Queen Mother took Liu Rumei's hand, patted it gently, and said with a smile: "What a lovely child. Since it is the one that Ran'er has chosen, he must have some outstanding qualities. From now on, we are a family. If you need anything, just tell me."

Liu Rumei thanked her and said, "Thank you, Queen Mother, for your kindness."

The Queen Mother looked at the well-behaved and lovely woman in front of her with a smile on her face, her eyes full of love.

She gently took off the crystal clear, green emerald bracelet in her hand, handed it to Liu Rumei and said, "Come here, Rumei, I felt very compatible with you the moment I saw you, and I like you very much. This bracelet is a beloved item I got many years ago, and I will give it to you today as a meeting gift. Put it on quickly and let me see if it fits."

"Thank you, Queen Mother." Liu Rumei said softly, knowing in her heart that when people in the palace gave gifts, refusing to accept them was a taboo and a very disrespectful act.

Therefore, she had no choice but to show joy and accept it gladly.

Liu Rumei took the bracelet and put it on her wrist carefully.

The warm jade quality and bright green color contrast with her fair and delicate skin, making her look even more beautiful and charming.

"It's really beautiful, don't you think so, Ran'er?" the Queen Mother asked Xiao Qingran.

"It looks good. Mei'er looks good in anything she wears." Xiao Qingran's eyes were full of affection for Liu Rumei.

At this moment, the whole palace was filled with a joyful and peaceful atmosphere, and everyone was blessing the couple.

The Queen Mother was also very satisfied with her son's happiness. She was looking forward to the grand wedding to witness the fruition of their beautiful love.

At this moment, a sudden and shrill scream suddenly rang out, breaking the originally peaceful atmosphere.

Everyone looked in the direction of the voice and saw a woman hurrying over. This person was Concubine Hui.

She burst into tears, covered her face with her hands, and pleaded to the Queen Mother in tears: "Queen Mother, please make the decision for me!"

The Queen Mother frowned slightly, her eyes revealing a hint of displeasure, but she still maintained a dignified tone and asked: "What happened? How can you keep crying and making a fuss like this!"

Faced with the Queen Mother's questioning, Huipin cried more miserably and her voice became sharper.

However, the Queen Mother obviously did not have much good feelings towards Concubine Hui.

Unlike the affection and kindness she showed towards Liu Rumei, the empress dowager seemed very serious and indifferent at this moment.

It turned out that Huipin was the daughter of the Minister of Revenue. Relying on her family background, she often bullied others and acted tyrannically in the palace, causing many palace maids and eunuchs to be angry but not dare to speak out.

"Empress Dowager, Concubine Xu hit me." Huipin said in a trembling voice, and slowly removed her hand that was covering her cheek.

The originally fair and delicate skin was now red and swollen, with a clearly visible slap mark on it, as if telling everyone what had just happened.

The Queen Mother frowned upon seeing this, with a hint of surprise in her tone: "She is just a little concubine, how dare she hit you? You are Concubine Hui, your status is even higher than hers!"

Huipin's eyes were filled with tears of grievance, and she cried, "Queen Mother, please help me! This Concubine Xu is so arrogant because of the emperor's favor for her that she even speaks wildly. She says that I am a concubine like her, and neither of us is more noble than the other. She doesn't take my status seriously at all!"

However, the truth is that Huipin relied on her higher status than Xu Yahan and tried to provoke and beat her.

However, Xu Yahan did not play according to common sense. Instead, she gave a powerful counterattack.

After the Queen Mother understood the situation, her expression became more serious.

She thought, how could such an arrogant person be tolerated in the harem? So, the Queen Mother decisively ordered: "Come, go to the Yangxin Palace immediately and invite the emperor and Concubine Xu to come to Yongshou Palace together." The guards took the order and left. A storm seemed to be coming...
