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

Chen Mi sat for a while but didn't ask anything. Every word Lin Junxue said was flawless.

After leaving Zhonghe Palace, Chen Mi's face suddenly became gloomy.

Just now, all my attempts and what the Queen said seemed to be fine.

Could it be that she was really overthinking this matter?

However, there was a voice in her heart telling her that this matter must be related to the queen.

What exactly is the Queen planning?

She always felt that this matter might be related to her grandfather...

What will happen at Grandfather’s birthday party?

What exactly is the Queen going to do?

Chen Mi's heart is always restless

Zhonghe Palace

Danzhen spoke while grinding

"Your Majesty, it seems that Concubine Mi didn't believe what you said today at all."

Lin Junxue curled her lips and put pen to paper.

"With Concubine Mi's intelligence, she naturally wouldn't believe it. Today, it was all just her test. Last night, the Emperor suddenly issued such an order, and Concubine Mi became suspicious. She was afraid that this matter was related to me, and she felt uneasy. So, she came to test me early this morning. It doesn't matter whether Concubine Mi believes it or not. In the next few days, Concubine Mi's suspicion will make her unable to sleep well again."

I'm talking.

Qiao Xin came in from outside and leaned over

"Your Majesty, I just received news from Wang Chu that today, Shu Zhaoyi went to Ci'an Palace specifically to see the Queen Mother. I think Shu Zhaoyi has finally waited for the Queen Mother to come today. I'm afraid she has been impatient to seek revenge for the loss of her son a year ago. Before, it was not easy for Shu Zhaoyi to be humble and submissive beside the Queen Mother."

Lin Junxue handed the finished painting to Danzhen and said softly

"Tell Wang Chu that there is no need to stop Shu Zhaoyi. If she wants to see him, let her see him. The Queen Mother has owed her a blood debt, and it is time for her to repay it. Shu Zhaoyi can do whatever she wants. The Queen Mother has fallen into such a state. Shu Zhaoyi will not do it herself. She will just torture her a little and let Wang Chu watch."

Qiao Xin nodded

"Your Majesty, I will pass the message to Wang Chu later."

Lin Junxue picked up the teacup, took a sip, and said casually

"How much time does the Queen Mother have left?"

Qiao Xin paused

"Your Majesty, Imperial Physician Wu said that the Empress Dowager will not live more than half a month. The Empress Dowager has already been drained of her body by the Xiangshi Powder. Her health has long been in decline. Wang Chu also added the chronic poison given by the Emperor to the tonic. The poison is quite toxic. It seems that the Emperor does not want the Empress Dowager to live any longer."

Lin Junxue's eyes were slightly deep

Xie Yu said that he still cared about the mother-son relationship with the Queen Mother, but in fact, he had already had the intention to kill her.

It's nothing but false benevolence and false righteousness, all nice words!

This mother and son

Dog bites dog

Where is the sincerity?

Lin Junxue said, "Tell Wu Renlang and Wang Chu to at least let the Queen Mother live until after Chen Fengping's birthday banquet. The Queen Mother will still be useful to me."

Qiao Xin leaned over

"Your Majesty, with Imperial Doctor Wu here, I think it won't be a problem to let the Queen Mother live a few more days. I'll give the order right away."

Lin Junxue waved her hand and Qiao Xin left.

Lin Junxue's gaze, through the exquisite carved window, fell on the large field of colorful peonies outside the window.

This peony was specially ordered by Xie Yu to be picked from the Central Plains some time ago.

The gardener of the Ministry of Internal Affairs spent a lot of effort

The peony is graceful and elegant, with various shapes and forms, but because it is trapped in this palace, no matter how beautiful it is, it has lost its pride and grace.

The breeze blows, the branches sway gently, the petals fall like rain, just like the swaying of human hearts

Next day

The weather was getting hotter and hotter, and the concubines in the harem stayed in their own palaces and were unwilling to go out.

There are no new people in the harem now.

But there are those who just don’t want to fight, and there are also those who know they can’t win.

The entire harem was calm and peaceful, and fell into an inexplicable harmony.

The former dynasty was busy with government affairs, and Xie Yu was so busy that he didn't even have time to enter the harem.

Lin Junxue spent a leisurely and happy time.

Since Xie Yu issued an order to attend the 70th birthday banquet of Chen Laoguogong, Chen Fengping

The Duke of Chen's Mansion, which had been silent for a long time, once again became the focus of Kyoto.

All day long, there was an endless stream of people visiting Duke Chen's Mansion.

Mentinuo

Countless ministers came to curry favor with him.

After all, this was the first time that Xie Yu had attended a birthday banquet in person since he ascended the throne.

Such a favor naturally attracted many people who wanted to establish a relationship with him.

Many people even go to great lengths to get birthday invitations.

If I could have the opportunity to show my face in front of the emperor, I would surely rise to prominence in the future.

Who would want to miss such a good opportunity?

The Mansion of Duke Chen has become a popular spot in the eyes of everyone, and there is no telling how many people will flock to the birthday banquet tomorrow.

Chen Fengping, who had been recuperating in the suburbs of Kyoto, also returned to the Chen Guogong Mansion a few days before his birthday.

When he heard that the man had returned, he scolded his son.

The Duke of Chen's Mansion immediately closed its doors and refused to entertain anyone.

Nowadays

It is the birthday celebration of Chen Laoguogong

The entire Chen Guogong Mansion was decorated with lights and full of joy, presenting a prosperous scene with singing and dancing.

The servants in the mansion started working early, carefully decorating every corner.

Red silk was hung high under the eaves, and colorful ribbons fluttered in the air.

The Mansion of Duke Chen appears low-key on the surface.

However, if you look closely, you will find a hidden secret.

Although the overall atmosphere seems calm and restrained, the mansion is still carefully decorated.

The road in front of the gate was swept spotlessly clean, and one could see the shadows of people. The guards had already driven away the people who wanted to watch.

The vermilion gate has been repainted and shines with a solemn and mysterious light.

A gold-plated plaque hangs high above the door lintel, with the words "Chen Guogong Mansion" inscribed in a flamboyant style.

Four big characters

The handwriting is vigorous and powerful, revealing a sense of majesty.

This was written by the late emperor himself, representing the glory of the Duke of Chen's Mansion.

Walking into the mansion, I saw green trees and colorful flowers in the courtyard.

Rockeries of various shapes are placed on both sides of the path, dotted in an orderly manner.

The pond is full of rippling water, lotus leaves are everywhere, and occasionally a few goldfish swim leisurely by.

The hall is a different world, with clean windows and neatly arranged tables and chairs.

There are famous calligraphy and paintings hanging on the walls, each of which is a treasure.

Even the light smoke wafting from the incense burner seems to carry a faint fragrance, which makes people feel relaxed and happy.

Even this seemingly inconspicuous fragrance is the ambergris that Xie Yu likes, which is worth a fortune.

Although everything seems ordinary, the profound heritage of Duke Chen's Mansion is evident everywhere.

It is the supreme honor for the emperor to attend his subject's birthday banquet!

Everyone in Duke Chen's mansion was extremely cautious and did not dare to be negligent in the slightest.

Main Courtyard

Hall

An old man with white hair and wrinkled face was leaning tremblingly on a carved cane.

He stood quietly, right below a huge and solemn portrait.
