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

Xiao Cheng nodded and said, "Your Majesty, don't worry, the Ministry of Internal Affairs will never treat the Xian Ya Palace unfairly, otherwise it will give others something to talk about."

Xiao Cheng is a smart man. He understood what Lin Junxue meant by just one word.

When Xiao Cheng left Zhonghe Palace, he stood at the gate of Zhonghe Palace and thought about what the queen had just said.

Perhaps, he was not on the wrong side today. The Queen and the Queen Mother back then acted very similarly, with unfathomable scheming and strategies.

Elegant Palace

Chen Xier didn't even put on makeup. She sat in front of the bronze mirror, looking at her haggard face, hatred growing in her eyes.

She had never thought that one day, Lin Junxue, a stupid woman, would plot against her like this? She was confined to the Xianya Palace by the Emperor.

In the past, she was the one who schemed against others, but had she ever been schemed against to such an extent?

Zi Shuang walked in cautiously from outside, looking at Chen Xier's face.

She whispered, "Your Highness, the Imperial Household Department just sent a lot of things over. From what I can see, they are all good. The Emperor must be concerned about you. Although he has banned you from traveling, he is reluctant to let you go, so he specially asked the Imperial Household Department to send you good things to comfort you."

Chen Xier stood up, looked at Zi Shuang, and snorted coldly.

"Your Majesty? Your Majesty confined me yesterday and was so angry with me. I have been in the palace for so many years, and Your Majesty has never been so angry with me. Why would He let the Ministry of Internal Affairs send me something? It must be that vicious Queen did it to show off to others, to demonstrate her own virtue."

Zi Shuang said quickly, "Your Majesty, the Queen is also afraid of your position in the Emperor's heart, so even if you are under house arrest by the Emperor, the Queen should not blatantly target our Xian Ya Palace."

Chen Xier's face was gloomy, and no one knew what she was thinking.

Zi Shuang looked at her cautiously and didn't dare to say a word.

for a while

Chen Xier looked at Zi Shuang and said, "Go and bring the Buddhist scriptures over."

In the next few days, Xie Yu did not set foot in the harem, nor did he summon anyone to sleep with him.

The women in the harem began to get restless. Everyone wanted to share Chen Xier's favor during the time she was under house arrest, but no one had a chance unless the emperor picked a winner.

So in the past few days, when the concubines paid their respects in Zhonghe Palace, they all wanted to say a few words to Lin Junxue, the queen, in front of Xie Yu and ask him to turn over the card. However, Lin Junxue had no intention of moving and stayed quietly in Zhonghe Palace.

Finally, in the afternoon after Chen Xier had been under house arrest for seven days, Lin Junxue brought Danzhen and the supplements prepared in the small kitchen to Taiwu Hall.

When Gao Cheng saw Lin Junxue walking towards him from a distance, he quickly went up to her and greeted her.

"Hail, Queen, you are here!"

Lin Junxue was wearing a crimson long dress today, a gold belt with floral patterns, a pearl necklace given by Xie Yu around her neck, and a golden crabapple hairpin in her hair. She was extremely graceful and eye-catching.

Lin Junxue looked at Gao Cheng, nodded calmly, and said softly, "Is the emperor still busy?"

Gao Cheng smiled and said, "Empress, the Emperor has just finished talking with the Minister of Rites about government affairs and is taking a break. If he sees you coming, he will definitely be happy."

Gao Cheng's recent assignments were really difficult. Xie Yu was very angry about Chen Xier's matter. For several days, the atmosphere in Taiwu Palace was very low.

Lin Junxue smiled slightly as she walked, and asked, "Your Majesty, have you been in a good mood these past two days?"

Gao Cheng whispered, "Empress, the Emperor has been in a bad mood these days, and he even punished the servants yesterday."

Lin Junxue narrowed her eyes slightly, knowing full well that Xie Yu was not in a good mood.

Not to mention that he had doted on Chen Xier for so many years, giving her supreme respect and noble status, and his daily rewards flowed into the Xian'ya Palace like water, granting her the power to assist in managing the six palaces.

But Chen Xier was so short-sighted that she colluded with Zhang Fufa to smuggle treasures from the palace and embezzled more than ten thousand taels of silver.

If this matter were to get out, it would not only bring shame to Concubine Chen Xier, but also to the reputation of the royal family behind Xie Yuhe.

So the reason why Xie Yu is in a bad mood now is probably more because he feels that he has favored the wrong person.

For an emperor like Xie Yu, even if all the women in his harem died, how sad would he be? The emperor's heart is harder than that of a rock.

What made him even more angry was that the woman he had spoiled for so many years was not as wonderful as he had imagined.

Lin Junxue said, "The emperor is in a bad mood, so you have to work harder, Eunuch Gao. Recently, tell the servants to be more careful."

Gao Cheng nodded respectfully and said, "Don't worry, Queen, I understand."

Lin Junxue said calmly, "I am relieved to have Eunuch Gao take care of things."

Hall

Lin Junxue walked in slowly with Danzhen.

Xie Yu put down the imperial pen, raised his head, and looked at Lin Junxue's beautiful outfit today. He felt a little better.

Lin Junxue greets the Emperor with "Good luck to you, Emperor"

Xie Yu paused and said, "Jun'er, why are you here today?"

Lin Junxue's beautiful eyes were looking at Xie Yu, her eyebrows and eyes were as gentle as water, and her eyes were like the most charming and cool breeze when the snow first melted under the sun, so gentle that it made people feel like a spring breeze.

Lin Junxue said, "Your Majesty, I know you have been in a bad mood these days."

Today, Lin Junxue's purpose is very clear, she is here to attack people's hearts.

Lin Junxue's straightforward words made Xie Yu's eyes darken.

Lin Junxue's black and white eyes just stared at Xie Yu.

As the two looked at each other, Gao Cheng gave Danzhen a look, and the two of them tactfully lowered their steps and left Taiwu Hall.

for a while

Xie Yu looked at Lin Junxue deeply, then finally stood up, walked down, and came to the front.

Xie Yu said in a deep voice, "Jun'er, I am very disappointed, do you know that?"

There was a flash of heartache in Lin Junxue's eyes, and Xie Yu was slightly shocked when he saw it.

Over the years, I have never seen this kind of "heartache" in other people's eyes.

He is the emperor. Everyone is afraid of him and tries their best to please him, but no one will look at him with such a distressed expression.

Only Lin Junxue in front of him would feel sorry for him as an emperor.

Lin Junxue watched the subtle changes in Xie Yu's eyes and pretended not to understand.

She said, "Your Majesty, I know why you are disappointed and angry. But Your Majesty, perhaps Sister Xi also has her own difficulties. She was deceived by the treacherous Zhang Fufa. Sister Xi has been under house arrest for three months. I believe she has realized where she went wrong."

When Xie Yu heard Lin Junxue's words, his face became even gloomier.

He looked at Lin Junxue who was speaking well of Chen Xier, and thought of Zhongqiu. When this incident happened, he had doubted whether Lin Junxue was behind it. Now it seems that he was too suspicious.

He had asked Gao Cheng to investigate carefully, and this matter had indeed nothing to do with Lin Junxue.

Ever since Xier got the power to assist in managing the six palaces, Lin Junxue has been staying in her own palace.

During this period, she did not interfere in any palace affairs. The root cause was that Xi'er was greedy and accepted bribes from Zhang Fufa.

Besides, it was Xiao Cheng who found out about the account book matter, and he would never defect to the Queen.

When my father was alive, my mother had also thought about winning over Xiao Cheng.

However, Xiao Cheng was very cautious at that time and was only loyal to his father. He never participated in the struggles in the harem. Now, naturally, he would not rely on Queen Lin Junxue.
