As soon as she opened her eyes, she was forcibly carried back to the East Palace by the paranoid pri

The court ladies in the West Third Hall all showed joy after listening to the Queen's instructions conveyed by Xiaobi.

"Great, great!"

"Thank you, Queen, for your kindness!"

For some reason, the He sisters in the crowd were worried instead of happy.

Xiao Bi didn't have a good face for them. She said with a sullen face, "My dear ladies, I will say it again. The Queen likes peace and quiet. Don't cause any trouble, and don't go to pay respects!"

Outside the palace, Xiaobi was not even qualified to meet these court ladies because of their family background, but in the palace, the status of court ladies was really low. As the queen's personal maid, Xiaobi spoke in a tone of admonition, and no one dared to say that she was overstepping the rules.

The concubines said in unison, "We will follow the Queen's orders!"

Some of them have actually given up the desire to compete for favor. As long as they are not restricted, they are happy and will naturally behave themselves.

As for those who wanted to compete for favor and high positions, they all knew that the Queen was the only one in control of Yongding Palace at this time. They only asked for a little favor and did not dare to make trouble in front of the Queen.

Life is long, beauty is fleeting, and youth is fleeting. When the Queen's bright and glorious face is no longer there, will Your Majesty really favor only the Queen?

At the beginning, Emperor Jingmu only loved Consort Yue, but that did not stop him from favoring other concubines.

He Yue felt a little stuffy in her sleep. She slowly opened her eyes and found herself in Ning Rushong's arms, covered tightly with a thin blanket. No wonder she felt hot.

She reached out her hand under the thin blanket and pulled it down, exposing her upper body, and then she felt cooler.

She paused for a moment and raised her head, and what came into her sight was Ning Rushong's proud and elegant face.

He Yue was stunned by him for a rare moment. It seemed that she had not observed his face so carefully for a long time. This was the face that had amazed her the first time she saw him in Lijia Village.

As time went by, his unfathomable majesty and dignity increased. He was the Son of Heaven, the embodiment of power, and few dared to look at his face.

At this moment, He Yue put aside her prejudice and took a closer look. She had to admit that Ning Rushong's face was the best in the world, cold, elegant, and handsome.

She couldn't help but touch Ning Rusong's face, lowered her eyes and stared at him, sighing softly, "I didn't actually hate you when I was in Li Village."

Who would hate a God of Wealth who generously gives out money? Not to mention he has an outstanding face, which is also a pleasure to look at in your spare time.

How did the two of them end up in such a stalemate?

"You really should ask Li Xiaoshu to throw you out. Whoever saves you should be responsible. How can it be right for me to be the one causing the trouble?" He Yue didn't care whether Ning Rushong was really asleep or pretending to be asleep, and blurted out what he wanted to say.

He Yue withdrew her hands from his face, leaned sideways on the soft pillow, and pressed her delicate face against her own black hair.

He Yue was a little too sentimental today. She felt uncomfortable again when she mentioned Li Xiaoshu. "Xia Suling passed away, and then Bai Huixian also passed away. The Bai family mansion was a gift from the royal family. It will be taken back after they die."

"What should I do with Li Xiaoshu? Is that heartless person going to follow them? Forget it, she has done this for herself. I am a good person, but she has made me like this for no reason."

It’s not that He Yue suddenly became kind-hearted, but she couldn’t help feeling sad when she saw old friends passing away one by one. No matter whether Li Xiaoshu was good or bad, he was the old friend who had the most connections with her in Yuncheng.

"There are many manors in Yuncheng. You can just point to a place and move Li Xiaoshu there." Ning Rushong was indeed not asleep. He opened his eyes and replied.

He Yue was not surprised and said in a lonely tone, "Li Xiaoshu is not stupid, and he doesn't necessarily like Bai Huixian that much. Why did he do so many stupid things for him?"

Ning Rusong sat up, pulled back the blanket, put his arm around He Yue's waist, and let her sit on his lap. "At the beginning, Li Xiaoshu was a gambler with a lot of assets. Bai Huixian was the one who placed the bet. She got carried away by the gambling and naturally did something stupid."

The so-called huge assets refer to Li Xiaoshu's life-saving grace to Ning Rushong.

Li Xiaoshu did so many wrong things but he was still imprisoned and even had good food, clothing, housing and transportation. It was all thanks to the grace of saving his life.

The two of them had done the most intimate things before. He Yue was too lazy to struggle and sat on his lap. She glanced at him unhappily and repeated what she had said before, "You should let Li Xiaoshu throw you out."

Ning Rusong was not angry either. She twisted her loose hair and said with a smile, "You were destined to meet me, and to be my wife."

Coming out of his mouth, these words sounded like an established truth that no one could change.

He Yue stopped talking and looked out the stained glass window at the yellow fallen leaves flying around outside and piling up on the ground. From afar it looked like a golden scene, full of autumn atmosphere.

She thought of asking Huiqing to tell her not to sweep the fallen leaves outside.

Then she thought again that the Eight Treasures Cake tasted quite good this morning and she liked it very much, so she asked the imperial kitchen to bring another plate for dinner.

Ning Rushong was not too particular about food. He had been eating the palace food since he was a child, and it had never been so varied. He also did not like pastries, as he always felt they were too sweet, but He Yue liked them.

The chefs in the imperial kitchen who were good at making pastries were suffering from having no place to display their talents. When they met the Empress, it was like a good horse meeting a good master. The Empress was also generous in rewarding them, and they were so happy every day.

Outside the warm room, Xiao Guanzi came to take up duty and stood outside with Huiqing. Normally, the Queen Mother should have woken up by now, but His Majesty was also inside, so the palace servants did not dare to pry into what was going on inside.

"Eh~" Xiao Guanzi pretended to be surprised and asked, "Why didn't I meet Miss Xiaobi during my several missions? Does Miss Huiqing know why?"

Although Xiaobi and Huiqing were senior palace maids who enjoyed the favor of the Empress, Xiaoguanzi was the chief eunuch of Yongding Palace, and calling them "girls" was already a compliment.

Huiqing couldn't help but sigh inwardly as she looked at Eunuch Guan who was asking questions even though she knew the answer.

Why could it be? His Majesty is here, and Eunuch Guan must be here too. Xiaobi changed her job and went into hiding. I don't know what bloody things Xiaobi saw Eunuch Guan do, but now she is hiding faster than anyone else!
