Crazy Queen, Striving to Become the Most Beautiful Lady in the Harem

Lin Junxue stopped Qiao Xin who was about to leave and asked the small kitchen to make a portion of lotus cake and then send it to Taiwu Palace.

After all, today, considering Xie Yu’s kindness, she couldn’t just sit there and say nothing.

Entrance to Taiwu Palace

Gao Cheng looked at Qiao Xin who was coming over and said with a smile, "The Emperor is discussing government affairs with the Minister of Rites inside. You have to wait for a while."

Ever since he found out that Qiao Xin and he were from the same hometown, Gao Cheng's attitude had changed a lot, and there was a bit more cordiality in his words that he didn't have when he treated others.

With Gao Cheng's status, even ordinary masters in the harem did not dare to offend him easily, not to mention the people below, who all tried to curry favor with him and please him.

Qiao Xin nodded and said softly, "Eunuch Gao, I won't go in. This is the lotus cake that the Queen Mother specially ordered the kitchen to make. I'll trouble you to bring it in later. The Queen Mother said, thank you for the Emperor's grace."

Danzhen took a step forward, Gao Cheng waved his hand, and the young talent behind him stepped forward and took the lotus cake.

Gao Chengdao said, "Okay, then you should go back to Zhonghe Palace to report first."

Qiao Xin bowed and said, "Thank you very much, Eunuch Gao."

In less than half a quarter of an hour, the Minister of Rites withdrew.

Gao Cheng hurriedly took the lotus cake and walked into the hall.

"Your Majesty, Qiao Xin from Zhonghe Palace came just now and said that the Empress had specially ordered the kitchen to make some lotus cakes and sent them to you to try."

When Xie Yu saw the food box Gao Cheng was holding, a hint of satisfaction flashed in his eyes.

Xie Yu pretended not to care and said, "The Queen is the same. I don't like sweet things. She is the only one who likes to eat lotus cake."

Gao Cheng listened to Xie Yu's words with a smile. The emperor was obviously very happy, but his words were not in line with his heart.

Gao Cheng said happily, "Your Majesty, this is a gift from the Queen. This lotus cake is the Queen's favorite food. Today, I specially asked the kitchen to make it and asked Qiao Xin to send it to you. This shows that the Queen has you in her heart."

Gao Cheng knew how to talk to make Xie Yu happy.

"Okay, since this is a gift from the Queen, then present it to me. I will just eat two pieces reluctantly."

Gao Cheng walked forward, placed the food box on the table, opened the lid, and revealed a few crystal clear hibiscus cakes.

Gao Cheng took out the silver needle and tried it, then Xie Yucai picked up the silver chopsticks, picked up a piece and put it in his mouth.

Although he doesn't like sweet food on a daily basis, he has recently tried some new flavors at Zhonghe Palace.

After Xie Yu finished a piece of cake, he said to Gao Chengdao, "Today, turn on the sign of Xian Ya Palace."

Gao Cheng leaned forward and said, "Well, I will ask the Imperial Household Department to notify Concubine Xi and make preparations to receive the Emperor."

Elegant Palace

Chen Xier, dressed in a peach pink palace dress, looked at Xie Yu and leaned over to greet him.

"Your Majesty's Blessing"

Xie Yu said in a deep voice, "Xi'er, get up," then walked to the chaise longue and sat down.

Chen Xier, who was originally full of joy, looked at Xie Yu. She did not personally help her up as usual. Her expression changed instantly.

Recently, the emperor's attitude towards her has changed unconsciously.

Chen Xier turned around and looked at Xie Yu who was already sitting on the chaise longue. She walked forward and looked at Xie Yu lovingly.

She said softly, "Your Majesty, for dinner today, I have specially asked the kitchen to prepare your favorite food. Would you like some?"

Xie Yu had eaten lotus cake before, and now he can't eat anything.

"no need"

Then, Xie Yu waved to Chen Xier, and Chen Xier sat next to Xie Yu, very politely, and gently called him "Your Majesty".

Xie Yu took Chen Xier's hand and patted it gently.

When Chen Xier saw Xie Yu's attitude towards her, she returned to her former closeness. The unhappiness in her heart just now disappeared, and she looked shy.

"Your Majesty, I was really shocked when I received your imperial edict today. I was terrified. Why did you suddenly want to grant me the power to assist in managing the six palaces? Will the Empress be upset about this?"

Chen Xier still wanted to flatter Lin Junxue in front of Xie Yu as she did before.

She couldn't wait to test Xie Yu. Why did he suddenly give her the power to assist in managing the six palaces?

This is usually a power that only a royal concubine, who is equal to a vice queen, can have. Thinking of this, she couldn't help but feel a little bit of anticipation.

Xie Yu looked at Chen Xier, loosened his hand, and suddenly felt a little bored.

He had wanted to have some affectionate time with Xier, but as soon as Xier opened her mouth she asked about this, and Xie Yu's interest instantly dropped a lot.

"You don't need to worry about the Queen's attitude about this matter. I grant you the power to assist in managing the six palaces because I want you to share the palace affairs with the Queen. The Queen's health is not well yet, so she can't be busy on a daily basis. During this period of time, Xi'er, you just need to take care of her."

He remembered what Lin Junxue said the night before, asking him not to tell Xier that it was she who suggested that Xier assist in managing the six palaces, otherwise Xier might not be happy.

Such a considerate person, the current Lin Junxue really makes him love her

Xie Yu didn't realize that his heart had begun to lean towards Lin Junxue.

When Chen Xier heard this, her heart sank.

Since when did the emperor start to favor Lin Junxue in front of her?

It turned out that the reason why she was given the power to assist in managing the six palaces was not because of anything else, but because the body of that bitch Lin Junxue had not yet recovered.

At this moment, Chen Xier's hatred and jealousy continued to grow.

Ever since Lin Junxue was released from house arrest, everything seemed to have changed. She could feel that the emperor's heart had also changed.

Chen Xier forced a smile and said, "Your Majesty, what you said is not true. It is my duty as a younger sister to help the Queen with the affairs of the palace. Your Majesty, don't worry, I will do my best."

Xie Yu nodded and said, "Xi'er, I trust you to do the work. If you don't understand anything, feel free to ask the Queen."

Chen Xier smiled and nodded, "I understand, Your Majesty."

Second day

Xianya Palace is not ordinary lively

Chen Xier was given the power to assist in managing the harem, and Lin Junxue exempted the people in the harem from paying respects for a period of time, so the concubines in the harem began to curry favor with Chen Xier.

Early in the morning, the concubines, led by Concubine Yue, came to pay their respects to Chen Xier. It was a lively scene with people coming and going and flattering each other.

In just one day, the wind direction in the harem changed. In addition, Xie Yu turned over Chen Xier's card last night, which made everyone think that Concubine Xi was still favored.

Among the many concubines, only Chen Mi went to Zhonghe Palace to pay respects in the morning, and did not go to Xian'ya Palace.

As soon as she arrived at Zhonghe Palace, Xianya Palace received the news.

The days passed quickly, and in the blink of an eye it was August. The Mid-Autumn Festival was approaching, and the hot summer was gradually passing.

During this period, Chen Xier's power in the harem was at its peak.

Since she was given the power to assist in managing the six palaces, there was a constant stream of concubines coming and going in the Xian'ya Palace every day, and laughter could often be heard.

In order to win people's hearts, Chen Xier did a lot of things, and even the previous dynasty had heard of her reputation for virtue.

On the other hand, Queen Lin Junxue has seldom gone out and has always said to the public that she is taking care of her health.

Apart from Concubine Mi’s daily visit, Zhonghe Palace is much quieter than Xianya Palace.

However, Xie Yu went to Zhonghe Palace for meals every few days.

Although everyone wanted to know what Xie Yu did every time he went to Zhonghe Palace, they just didn't know where to start.

The palace maids and eunuchs in Zhonghe Palace kept their mouths shut and nothing could be learned from them.

Over time, the concubines in the harem who wanted to find out gave up.

Anyway, the emperor always went to have meals, and he didn't ask the queen for permission during this period.
