Traveling through the Tang Dynasty: The Concubine Goes to War

Last time, we talked about Ye Ling'er being banished to the cold palace, but she used the steward of the palace to send a message to the emperor and Yunxi, and she was released again.

After returning to Xiuzhen Palace, Ye Ling'er seemed like a completely different person. She was no longer listless as before and now looked very energetic.

On this day, she, who used to not like leaving the palace, asked Xiao Cui to help her dress up carefully, and then went straight to Changle Palace where Yunxi was.

She took Xiao Cui through the numerous palace corridors, passed by the goldfish pond full of koi, walked through the rockery, and finally arrived at Yunxi's Changle Palace.

The palace is hidden among the green pines and cypresses, and is surrounded by lush trees. The palace has an elegant architectural style, magnificent and yet quiet. The vermilion palace walls are tall and solemn, and the golden glazed tiles shine in the sun.

Walking into the palace, you will see a wide courtyard, which is paved with white marble, just like a mirror, reflecting the blue sky.

In the center of the courtyard is a green pond with clear water and fish swimming freely in the water.

Inside the palace, the magnificent decorations and simple layout complement each other. The air is filled with a faint scent of sandalwood, which makes people feel peaceful and relaxed. The bright sunlight shines through the windows with carved dragons and phoenixes, illuminating the exquisite murals and carvings.

Here, time seems to have stopped, and everything seems so peaceful and beautiful. There is no worldly noise, only the rustling of leaves in the breeze and the occasional chirping of birds. This quiet palace environment is like a paradise, making people indulge in it and forget all their worries.

Ye Ling'er couldn't help but sigh at the uniqueness of Yunxi's Changle Palace among many palaces.

The eunuch had already gone in to announce it. Xiao Hong came to greet him, and she said to Ye Ling'er, "Master Ye is here? The queen is inside. Come in with me."

"Thank you, Miss Xiaohong." Ye Ling'er said as she followed her in.

Ye Ling'er walked into the bedroom, as if she had entered a dream world.

The bedroom is spacious and gorgeous, decorated with fine silk and embroidery. The bed is covered with soft bedding, exuding a faint fragrance. The bed is covered by a gorgeous screen with exquisite patterns painted on it, adding a mysterious atmosphere.

The room is filled with exquisite furniture and carved with exquisite patterns, showing a noble temperament. The windows are hung with gauze curtains as thin as cicada wings, gently fluttering in the wind, revealing soft light. The walls are hung with precious calligraphy and paintings, adding a cultural atmosphere.

There is an incense burner in the corner of the bedroom, with smoke rising from it and a pleasant aroma filling the air, making people feel peaceful and relaxed. The floor is paved with smooth marble, reflecting a faint light.

The entire palace creates an atmosphere of tranquility, elegance and luxury, making people feel as if they are in a fairyland and feeling the charm and nobility of palace life.

Yunxi was seen sitting upright on the couch, watching her arrival with a smile.

"Sister pays homage to Empress Xifei." Ye Ling'er said respectfully.

"No need to be polite, Ling'er, come and sit down and chat." Yunxi said.

Ye Ling'er looked around the palace, her eyes revealing a hint of anxiety and uneasiness. She spoke with a little urgency: "Sister, you sent me a message before, saying that the little prince has been handed over to you for raising, but why can't I see him now? Did something unexpected happen?"

Seeing this, Yunxi hurriedly comforted her, "Sister, don't worry so much. The little prince is safe and sound. He was just taken away by the wet nurse to be fed. He is now in the next room. You will be able to see him in a while." As she spoke, she looked at Ye Ling'er, who was anxious in front of her, with a gentle gaze.

After explaining all this, Yunxi turned around and instructed Xiaohong beside her: "Xiaohong, go and see if the little prince has finished drinking milk. If he has, bring him over."

"Yes, your majesty." Xiaohong responded respectfully and then turned and left.

The time she spent waiting for the little prince to be brought back seemed to be extremely long for Ye Ling'er. Every second seemed to last a year, and she became increasingly anxious.

Finally, Ye Ling'er couldn't hold back her emotions any more, and spoke again: "Sister, look at this newly renovated palace, it's so gorgeous. It shows that the emperor always regards you as the most important person in his heart!" There was a hint of sadness in her words.

"Ling'er, don't be like this. The little prince is now in my sister's bedroom. It will be easy for you to see him in the future." Yunxi said, staring at Ye Ling'er.

"Well, thank you sister for planning for Ling'er." Ye Ling'er said gratefully from the bottom of her heart, her voice full of sincerity and emotion.

"Sister, you don't have to thank me. In fact, it was Mei Yingluo who did something wrong, which made the emperor angry and forbade her to raise the little prince anymore." Yunxi said calmly, but there was a hint of sadness in her eyes.

"Sister, when did you find out that Concubine Mei was going to deal with you? Fortunately, you helped me change the handkerchief in advance... otherwise the consequences would be disastrous..." Ye Ling'er said with lingering fear, and at the same time recalled the thrilling scene before.

As they were talking, they suddenly heard a sound of light footsteps, and then the wet nurse came in holding the little prince and followed Xiaohong.

"Your servant greets Her Majesty!" The wet nurse bowed to Yunxi while holding the little prince, her movements gentle and respectful.

"No need to be so polite. Come, quickly bring Rui Ze up and let me see him." Yunxi said to the wet nurse with a smile, her eyes full of tenderness and expectation.

"Yes, your majesty." The wet nurse agreed softly and carefully handed the little prince to Yunxi.

"Runze? Is this the little prince's name?" Ye Ling'er asked in surprise, her eyes falling on the little prince's cute face.

"Oh, Ling'er, you may not know yet. This name was given to him by the emperor himself. From this name, you can see how much the emperor loves the little prince..." Yunxi explained with a smile while gently stroking the little prince's cheek.

There was a sense of relief and satisfaction in her voice, as if she saw hope for the future.

Hearing this, a complicated look flashed in Ye Ling'er's eyes, "It is a blessing for Rui Ze to follow his sister. Please accept my sister's greeting." Ye Ling'er knelt down to salute as she spoke, with a hint of sadness in her tone.

"You and I are sisters, so don't be polite. Come and hug the little prince." Yunxi said.

Ye Ling hurried forward, carefully stretched out her arms, and gently held the little prince in her arms. Her eyes were full of love and tenderness, as if this little life was the most precious treasure in her life.

The little prince felt extremely safe in Ye Ling'er's arms. His pink little hands tightly grasped Ye Ling'er's clothes, as if expressing his love for her. Ye Ling'er looked down at the little prince, and the love in her eyes became stronger. She gently stroked the little prince's hair, feeling his warmth.

At this moment, Ye Ling'er was completely immersed in the close contact with the little prince. She forgot everything around her and only focused on the cute little guy in front of her. Her heart was filled with happiness and satisfaction, and she hoped that time could stay at this moment forever.
