Crazy Queen, Striving to Become the Most Beautiful Lady in the Harem
Chapter 163: Spending the New Year Together
Chen Mi looked at Hua Ling deeply, his eyes froze, and he said nothing.
Hua Ling's heart tightened, and she asked nervously, "Your Majesty, are you unhappy? I said this because I know you and the Queen are close now, but the Emperor's favor is given to the Queen, and others are less favored. I am really just worried about you..."
Hua Ling was interrupted by Chen Mi before she could finish her words.
Chen Mi asked, "Father, did he look for you?"
As soon as these words were spoken, Hua Ling's eyes suddenly tensed up. Hua Ling would never lie, her expression said it all.
When Chen Mi saw this, she knew that her guess was correct, and her father really did look for Hua Ling.
Hua Ling has been with her for many years, and she has never doubted Hua Ling's loyalty to her.
Chen Mi said, "What else did father tell you? In addition to asking you to instigate me to compete for favor, did he also ask me to get closer to Concubine Chen because the Sun family and the Chen family are getting married?"
Hua Ling quickly knelt on the ground
"My lady, yesterday the Duke sent his personal guard to find me and asked me to persuade you to be close to the Concubine Chen and not get too close to the Queen. He said that if you don't fight or compete, you will lose your place in the harem sooner or later."
Chen Mi looked at Hua Ling kneeling on the ground, and couldn't help feeling a little disappointed. He sighed, but didn't call Hua Ling to get up.
She said, "Hua Ling, my father wants me to kiss Concubine Chen, but take a look. Is Concubine Chen really worthy of me getting close to her? Just because the Chen and Sun families are going to marry in the future, I have to force myself to do things I don't like, right? I don't want to force myself to get close to Concubine Chen."
Hua Ling shook her head and said, "My lady,
Chen Mi glanced at her and continued, "Back then, I didn't want to enter the palace, but for the honor of my family and my parents' face, I entered this deep palace. I accepted my fate, but it doesn't mean I won't enter the palace. I have to compromise for the sake of my family."
Hua Ling cried, "My lady, I know how miserable you were back then."
Chen Mi said, "Hua Ling, I will stay in my own palace quietly. If the emperor favors me, I will accept it. If he doesn't favor me, I am not willing to fight for it. There are undercurrents in the harem, and you can't win if you fight for it. So I will tell you again, don't say what you just said in the future."
Hua Ling cried and nodded
"Your Highness, I understand. I will not say anything more, Your Highness. Do whatever you want. I will always be with you."
Chen Mi stood up and helped Hua Ling up
Hua Ling has been by her side for many years, always thinking of her and doing it wholeheartedly for her. She knew all this, so she didn't blame her too much.
It's New Year's Eve in a blink of an eye
Today, on New Year's Day, under Lin Junxue's arrangement, the harem has added a lot of things, decorated with lights and colors, and it is bustling everywhere, with a strong New Year atmosphere.
Xie Yu also got seven days of rest and did not have to attend court.
On New Year's Eve, after the dinner, Chen Xier said she was not feeling well, so she asked Xie Yu to stay with her again to celebrate the New Year.
Lin Junxue didn't care at all. Xie Yu was not there, which was just right. She was also exhausted after having to act during the New Year.
Chen Xier kept Xie Yu, which was what she wanted, and she could have a good New Year.
Zhonghe Palace
Laughter outside the door
Lin Junxue was sitting by the window while Danzhen was peeling peanuts.
Guyu braved the snow and came in
"Your Majesty, the kitchen has prepared a lot of dishes that you like today. During the New Year, everyone is very happy to receive the rewards. Your Majesty has been generous and has allowed several people to leave the palace to visit their families. Our Zhonghe Palace is the most lively place in the palace."
Qiao Xin said, "Madam, Xiao Gongzi and Xiao Xizi are waiting outside and have made a snowman. If you feel bored, why don't you go out and take a look?"
Lin Junxue became interested and stood up
Danzhen stepped forward, put the cloak on her, and gave her careful instructions.
"My lady, it's snowing heavily outside, don't catch a cold."
Lin Junxue smiled faintly
"Auspicious snow indicates a good harvest. This year, it is a good omen. All of you follow me. Let's go to the yard to admire the snowman. It's New Year, so let's have some fun."
Danzhen and Qiaoxin smiled and said, "Okay, Madam, we will listen to you."
When they arrived at the yard, they saw a snowman that was over one meter tall and looked lifelike.
Xiao Gongzi and Xiao Xizi are very likable and they say auspicious words every time they say them.
Lin Junxue was happy and gave some more silver as reward without any stinginess.
Zhonghe Palace is full of laughter
Just as the few people finished admiring the snowman and were about to return to the temple to celebrate the New Year, the gatekeeper came in to report.
"Empress, the eldest prince is waiting at the door and wants to wish you a happy new year."
Lin Junxue didn't expect that Xie Wuji would come to Zhonghe Palace on New Year's Eve.
"Let the prince in."
The young eunuch took the order and went out to announce Xie Wuji to come in.
Qiao Xin sighed, "Your Majesty. During this New Year's Festival, the palace is bustling, but the prince's mansion is probably a little deserted. I guess the eldest prince is here to join in the fun."
Lin Junxue nodded slightly. "It's just right. Today is New Year's Day. It would be nice to have more people and it would be more lively."
Next second
Lin Junxue saw Xie Wuji walking in with a little eunuch.
Unlike the Xie Wuji I saw a few days ago, this time Xie Wuji was wearing a well-fitting winter outfit and a fox fur coat, which was very warm. His little face was red from the cold, and his complexion was much better than a few days ago.
I think Xie Wuji has been having a good time these days because of my orders.
Xie Wuji walked forward, looked at Lin Junxue, and greeted her respectfully.
"Your son pays respects to the Empress, may the Empress be blessed with good health and good health."
Lin Junxue looked at the little person in front of her and took the initiative to extend her hand.
"Wake up, eldest prince. You've arrived just in time. Wait a minute, stay up with the Empress Dowager, okay? The Empress Dowager has so many delicious foods."
Xie Wuji originally thought of Lin Junxue's kindness and wanted to come over to greet her and leave. He didn't dare to hope to stay and celebrate the New Year with Lin Junxue.
Hearing this, Xie Wuji was stunned and opened his eyes wide.
Lin Junxue found it funny to see him looking so silly.
This child is easy to satisfy. He looks so surprised just because he is asked to stay for a year.
Then, Lin Junxue stretched out her hand and said, "Let's go. The Queen will hold your hand."
After saying that, she took Xie Wuji's hand.
Xie Wuji was actually a little flustered. He couldn't believe that someone would be so nice to him.
Danzhen and the other two smiled.
Apart from his status as the eldest prince, he was just a child of ten years old. At the moment, he was being teased by their queens, revealing some of his childish innocence.
Lin Junxue took Xie Wuji's hand and walked into the hall. She asked Dan Zhen to take off Xie Wuji's outer jacket and offered him a cup of hot tea.
It was not until Xie Wuji scooped up the hot tea and took a sip that he realized he was not dreaming.
Over the years, no one has ever stayed up with him to celebrate the New Year. It was always the eunuchs around him who kept him company. Now, finally someone is willing to stay up with him to celebrate the New Year.
Lin Junxue peeled a peanut herself and handed it to Xie Wuji.
"My dear prince, don't be shy. What do you want to eat? Tell the Empress Dowager and she will ask the kitchen to make it for you. Today is a festival, so be happy. Come on, smile."
