Lin Junxue did not take the sedan chair, but chose to walk back to Zhonghe Palace.

On the way, Danzhen took out a handkerchief from her bosom and said, "My lady, wipe your hands."

Lin Junxue took the handkerchief, expressionless, and wiped her hands carefully bit by bit.

After wiping her hands, Lin Junxue directly told Danzhen to go back and burn the handkerchief.

Taiwu Hall

Gao Cheng reported to Xie Yu what happened in Ci'an Palace today.

After listening to this, Xie Yu said nothing and his face was gloomy.

The Queen Mother once again made trouble for Jun'er in public today. As expected, it seemed that his attitude yesterday still could not make the Queen Mother understand how important Jun'er was in his heart now.

It's time to have a private talk with the Queen Mother. The person I'm protecting, even if it's the Queen Mother, cannot be touched from now on.

"Today, the Queen only protected Huipin, but when the Queen Mother criticized her, the Queen just listened and didn't say anything."

Gao Cheng leaned over

"That's true, Your Majesty. The Queen Mother said in public today that the harem is not at all peaceful under the Queen's management. She also said that she would advise Your Majesty to treat everyone equally."

Xie Yu said, "That's enough. Mother is still so strong. Those vicious women have evil intentions. What does it have to do with Queen Jun'er? Mother is simply making trouble for no reason. Mother just left the Queen alone. How long has it been? Now, can the Queen go back to Zhonghe Palace?"

Gao Chengdao said, "Your Majesty, the Empress has just returned to Zhonghe Palace. However, it seems that the Empress came out of Ci'an Palace and did not take a sedan chair. She walked back and did not seem very happy."

Xie Yu's eyes flashed with a hint of worry.

Jun'er's temper must have been caused by something her mother said that made her sad and she even refused to sit in the sedan chair.

Xie Yu said in a deep voice, "You go to Ci'an Palace in person and tell me that I will not be there for lunch at noon."

Gao Cheng was stunned

"Your Majesty, this is not a good idea. The Queen Mother has just returned to the palace."

Xie Yu said coldly, "Go and tell them to go to Zhonghe Palace and tell them that I will be dining with the queen tonight and I want to eat the mutton hotpot made in her small kitchen."

Gao Chengdao: "Yes, I will go right away."

Ci'an Palace

After Gao Cheng finished conveying Xie Yu's words and left, the empress dowager sat on the chair, she was so angry that she had a headache.

Nanny Wu quickly asked someone to call the imperial physician.

The lunch that the Queen Mother had carefully prepared ended in vain.

evening

Zhonghe Palace

When Xie Yu arrived, Lin Junxue was already wearing a cloak and standing at the palace gate waiting.

When Xie Yu saw the bright smile on Lin Junxue's face, all the fatigue of the day seemed to be swept away at that moment.

Xie Yu strode over, and Lin Junxue leaned over

"Your Majesty, I pay my respects to you."

Xie Yu took Lin Junxue into his arms and said, "Jun'er, I'm tired today."

Lin Junxue reached out her hand and gently patted his shoulder, her voice very gentle.

"Your Majesty, if you are tired, just lean on my shoulder and take a rest."

Gao Cheng and Qiao Xin looked at each other and silently stepped aside.

Xie Yu smelled the fragrance from Lin Junxue's neck and his heart was distracted.

He stroked Lin Junxue's temples

"Come on, Jun'er, have dinner with me first."

When the two of them finished their meal, Xie Yu did not hear Lin Junxue talk about what happened today.

His Jun'er is such a good girl. No matter what injustice she suffers, she will never complain in front of him.

Lin Junxue offered tea and looked at Xie Yu, who had no intention of taking it, and felt a little confused.

"Your Majesty, Your Majesty, what's wrong with you? Why are you looking at me like that?"

Xie Yu looked at Lin Junxue deeply, took the teacup, but showed no intention to drink it.

"Jun'er, I went to Ci'an Palace to pay my respects today. What happened? Tell me."

Lin Junxue avoided Xie Yu's gaze, sat down, shook her head, and pretended to be stupid.

"What is your Majesty talking about? Today, I took all the concubines to the Ci'an Palace to pay my respects. We sat for a while and just chatted like women. What else could it be? Your Majesty, what's wrong?"

Xie Yu was silent for a few seconds, and finally let out a deep sigh.

"Jun'er, I already know what happened in Ci'an Palace today. Don't take mother's words to heart. I will make the decision for you. I am sorry for letting you suffer any injustice."

Lin Junxue said softly, "Your Majesty, I am not wronged."

Then, Lin Junxue stood up and saluted Xie Yu.

Xie Yu frowned, "Jun'er, what are you doing? Do you want to listen to the Queen Mother and persuade me to treat everyone equally?"

If this were true, he would be really disappointed with Jun'er.

Lin Junxue shook her head

Xie Yu knew that she was not doing this for this matter, and he felt a little happier, and his attitude softened.

"Jun'er, whatever's the matter, just tell me."

Lin Junxue said, "Your Majesty, in fact, today, after the Queen Mother left me here, she did ask me to find a way to persuade you to favor other concubines, but this time I don't want to, and I don't want to."

When Xie Yu heard this, he looked at Lin Junxue with unprecedented tenderness.

He didn't mean to be angry at all.

Lin Junxue looked at Xie Yu's expression and continued

"I know that I am the queen and it is wrong not to listen to my mother. But before, I pushed you to other concubines with my own hands, which made you miserable. This time, I want to be selfish for once. Even if I will be punished by my mother, I will bear it."

Xie Yu suddenly stood up and hugged Lin Junxue in his arms

"Jun'er, before, it was my fault that I couldn't see your good side. You are not selfish. Jun'er, you don't know how happy I am that you didn't advise me to treat everyone equally."

Lin Junxue lay on Xie Yu's chest, her lips curled up into a captivating smile

Since she already knew why Xie Yu had ignored her.

Well, she already knew what Xie Yu wanted. If he wanted it, she would give it to him.

Lin Junxue said, "What I want to talk about is not this matter, but I want to ask His Majesty to agree to another matter. I want to ask His Majesty to allow the power to manage the six palaces to be given to the Queen Mother. Is that okay?"

Xie Yu frowned even deeper. He didn't expect that Jun'er was asking for this.

Why would Jun'er suddenly take the initiative to hand over the power of managing the six palaces to her mother?

"Jun'er, you, what do you mean? You are the queen, and it is your duty to be in charge of the six palaces. Why do you want to give it to the queen mother?"

Lin Junxue said, "Your Majesty, wasn't it your mother who was in charge of the six palaces before? Now that your mother is back, I will hand over the power of the six palaces to your mother. If your mother takes back the power of the six palaces, I think it will ease the relationship between your Majesty and you."

Xie Yu's heart was slightly moved, "Jun'er, are you doing this for me?"

Lin Junxue smiled bitterly

"Your Majesty, perhaps what my mother said is right. It is me who has not managed the harem well. In this case, I will leave it to my mother."

Xie Yu hasn't spoken yet

Lin Junxue said again, "Actually, Your Majesty, you and I both know that my mother embarrassed me yesterday and scolded me today for the power of the harem. I am not stupid and can see that I don't want to make my mother unhappy and make Your Majesty feel caught between me and my mother. I can give in and am willing to give in. I beg Your Majesty for permission."

for a while

Xie Yu picked up Lin Junxue and looked at her.

"I will not allow you to wrong yourself like this, Jun'er, you are the master of the harem, the queen, and you should be in charge of the six palaces. Now that my mother has returned to the palace, you should take good care of yourself for the time being. You still have the final say on the affairs of the harem. The power of the six palaces belongs only to you, Jun'er."
