When Xiao Cheng heard Lin Junxue's approval of Xiao Xia Zi, he narrowed his eyes and felt satisfied.

"Xiao Xiazi is blessed to be cared for by the Majesty. I thank the Majesty."

Lin Junxue knew that Xiao Cheng came to her for two reasons, firstly, to regain power in the Ministry of Internal Affairs, and secondly, to pave the way for his adopted son, Xiao Xiazi.

Xiao Cheng really loves this little Xia Zi to the core and must treat him as his own son.

No matter how capable Xiao Cheng is at doing things, he is old after all and will die one day.

At that time, she will definitely hand over the Ministry of Internal Affairs to a trustworthy person. At present, Xiao Xiazi is indeed a good candidate.

After Xiao Cheng reported Xie Yu's birthday and related arrangements during the New Year, Lin Junxue asked Qiao Xin to personally escort him out of the palace.

After Xiao Cheng left, Zhonghe Palace welcomed another uninvited guest, who was Chen Xier.

Although she has now returned to the position of favorite concubine and enjoys great glory, she no longer has any real power.

Before that, she promoted Zhang Fufa, and the good things from the Ministry of Internal Affairs were first presented to the Xian'ya Palace.

But now that Xiao Cheng is in charge of the Imperial Household Department again, Chen Xier can't get any benefits at all.

Chen Xier had an idea today. She wanted to come to Zhonghe Palace to see what Lin Junxue had been doing in her palace recently.

In name, it was to pay respects, but in reality, it was to show off, just like before, showing off Xie Yu's love for her.

Unfortunately, Chen Xier had a good plan and even put on a set of jewelry given to her by Xie Yu and a rare flowing skirt.

But Lin Junxue didn't give her this opportunity at all. After Qiao Xin informed her that Chen Xier was coming, Lin Junxue directly refused to see her.

I said winter is coming, I am not feeling well and am taking a rest.

Chen Xier didn't expect Lin Junxue to reject her request like this. She was so angry that she returned to Xianya Palace.

Zi Shuang took the opportunity to say, "Your Majesty, you are so sincere and want to pay your respects to the Queen, but the Queen is not there. What do you think if the Emperor hears about this? The Queen will definitely remember you in her heart. Your Majesty, I think you should go to the Emperor now and let him know about this. The Emperor will definitely feel pity for you."

When Chen Xier heard this, her eyes flashed and she glanced at Zishuang.

"Yes, you are right. I don't need to be angry so quickly. The Queen's humiliation today is a slap on the Emperor's face. If the Emperor knew that I went to pay my respects to her and the Queen didn't even let me in, I'm sure he would feel sorry for me. You come with me to the Taiwu Palace to see the Emperor."

Zi Shuang nodded flatteringly

"The Queen is Smart"

After hearing what Li Shiwen said last time, Xie Yu was no longer so angry. He originally wanted to go to Zhonghe Palace.

But the New Year is coming, and the border is unstable. He has been so busy this month that he has no time to enter the harem.

But what made him feel uncomfortable this month was that Lin Junxue not only did not come to Taiwu Palace to see him, but she also did not send him some supplements every now and then like other concubines.

With this comparison, Xie Yu certainly felt bad.

On this side, Xie Yu had just finished reviewing the memorials when Gao Cheng walked in.

"Your Majesty, Concubine Xi requests an audience."

Xie Yu frowned

In fact, he feels much less interested in Xier now.

On the contrary, in the past two months, whenever he had free time, he thought of Lin Junxue instead of Xier. He knew that his heart had changed.

But he is the emperor. Can he like any woman he wants?

Even if he once had some true feelings for Xier, that was all in the past.

Now, Xie Yu knew clearly that the person he was thinking of was Lin Junxue.

But this woman is still angry with me. I haven't visited her for two months, and she hasn't come to Taiwu Palace for two months. She just stays like this. I never knew she had such a stubborn temper before.

Xie Yu was slightly absent-minded

Gao Cheng carefully reminded him again, "Your Majesty, Imperial Concubine Xi wants to see you and is waiting outside."

Xie Yu came back to his senses. He didn't want to see her today, but thinking that it would be difficult for Chen Xier to come here in winter,

Xie Yucai said, "Let him in."

Before Gao Cheng left, he glanced at Xie Yu's face and felt

Others may not be able to see clearly the favor of Concubine Xi, but he has been by the emperor's side for so many years, so he naturally knows a little bit of the emperor's thoughts.

Concubine Xi, who was the most favored concubine in the harem, may have come to the end of her love. Now the person in the Emperor's heart is not Concubine Xi, but the Empress.

I just wonder how long the Queen's favor will last?

Is she like Concubine Xi? She has already lost the emperor's heart in just a few years.

After Chen Xier brought Zi Shuang to pay her respects, she looked at Xie Yu sitting on the chair, feeling sad.

Normally, when the emperor saw me coming, he would definitely stand up to greet me and ask about my health.

But in less than a year, everything seemed to have changed.

The emperor's love for her is no longer the same as before.

Chen Xier can naturally pretend to be the same as before in front of others.

But she knew in her heart that the emperor's favor towards her was no longer as strong as before, and it was all because of that bitch Lin Junxue.

Chen Xier forced herself to smile, just like usual.

"Your Majesty, I heard from Eunuch Gao that you have been working day and night recently. Please take care of your health."

Xie Yu had long been accustomed to Chen Xier's considerate words.

He nodded and said in a deep voice, "Xi'er, don't worry. I know what's going on. Why did you come here specially on such a snowy day? Is there something going on?"

Chen Xier smiled and said, "No, I just miss the emperor."

Based on Xie Yu's understanding of Chen Xier, he naturally knew what kind of injustice Chen Xier had suffered in her expression at this moment.

Xie Yu frowned, but he felt a little impatient that Chen Xier didn't say it directly.

Xie Yu turned to look at Zi Shuang and said, "Tell me, what kind of grievance did Concubine Xi suffer?"

Zi Shuang couldn't wait to say, "Your Majesty, today our queen went to Zhonghe Palace to pay respects, but the queen avoided her, saying that it was winter and she was not feeling well, so she didn't want to see her parents. Our queen felt a little uncomfortable and was unhappy after she came back."

As soon as he finished speaking, he was interrupted by Chen Xier.

"Shut up, who told you to say that?"

Chen Xier looked at Xie Yu who was sitting above her, with a gentle and decent look.

"Your Majesty, please don't listen to Zi Shuang's nonsense. However, I wanted to go see the Queen today. I guess the Queen is not feeling well, so she didn't see me."

That's what she said, but the aggrieved expression on Chen Xier's face almost overflowed

Chen Xier thought Xie Yu would be angry and take charge of her affairs, reprimanding Lin Junxue.

But she never expected that as soon as she looked up, she saw Xie Yu's gloomy eyes.

Next second

Xie Yu said, "The Queen has a cold body. In winter, she will inevitably feel uncomfortable. I guess that's why I didn't see you today. It's such a small matter, you don't have to take it to heart."
