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

Lin Junxue looked at everyone's shock and Xie Yu's undisguised admiration calmly, her eyes were cold and clear.

There is a second half to this poem by Li Daxianren, "Almost Drunken". But she felt there was no need to say it out loud. These few sentences were enough.

Next second

Xie Yu looked appreciative, stretched out his hand and clapped, and the others could only follow suit and admire.

"Well, the Queen wrote a great poem. It's a good saying that I was born with talents that will be useful, and even if I spend all my money, I will get it back. These two lines alone will surely be passed down through the ages."

Everyone had different expressions as they listened to Xie Yu praising Lin Junxue non-stop.

Chen Xier's eyes were filled with jealousy and resentment.

She had worked so hard to prepare for so long, but in the end she still lost to the poem that Lin Junxue had composed on the spur of the moment?

Lin Junxue glanced at the expressions of the people below and took in everything.

Then, she looked at Xie Yu, smiled slightly, and said softly, "Your Majesty, I am sorry to show you my ugliness."

I don’t know how many people were immediately slapped in the face by this “awkward statement”?

Xie Yu said, "Performing an ugly act? How embarrassed are those tutors in the palace by the Queen?"

Lin Junxue smiled sweetly, "Your Majesty"

Seeing that she was shy, Xie Yu stopped teasing her, and the two of them smiled knowingly. When the people in the harem saw this scene, they were secretly jealous.

Chen Xier knew that she couldn't be impulsive today, and she had to show her magnanimity in front of the emperor.

Otherwise, she would have lost miserably at this flower-viewing banquet today.

Chen Xier stood up, looked at Lin Junxue and said, "Sister, I am really ashamed of myself for writing such a poem. Today, you deserve the first place."

No one refuted Chen Xier's words. Even if they were jealous, they couldn't say anything.

After all, whether this poem is good or not is obvious to everyone.

Xie Yu nodded. "Okay, Xi'er is right. Today, the Queen's poem was indeed well written. Gao Cheng, give the jade pendant on the tray to the Queen."

Gao Chengdao said "yeah" and then walked up to Lin Junxue in front of everyone.

Lin Junxue looked at Gao Cheng, nodded, and said with a smile, "Thank you for the reward, Your Majesty."

Qiao Xin stepped forward and took the top-quality jade pendant from Gao Cheng's hand.

After the flower viewing banquet

Everyone sitting below was waiting for Xie Yu to speak. Xie Yu first glanced at Lin Junxue.

The corners of Lin Junxue's mouth curled up slightly, her red lips slightly curved, and the snow-white area on her neck just caught Xie Yu's eyes.

She pretended not to notice Xie Yu's eyes, but it was this unintentional temptation that made Xie Yu's eyes darker.

Chen Xier stepped forward and said, "Your Majesty!"

If she didn't sleep with him today, it would be a joke.

In the past, Chen Xier would not be worried at all, but ever since Lin Junxue's house arrest was lifted, she always felt as if some things were gradually getting out of her control, and this feeling made her panic.

Lin Junxue looked at Chen Xier who couldn't wait to come forward. She stood there, her whole body revealing a demeanor as calm as orchid.

Xie Yu said in a deep voice, "I and Concubine Xi will leave first. The Queen and all the concubines can stay in the Imperial Garden and continue to enjoy the flowers."

Lin Junxue said calmly, "Your Majesty, I respectfully send you off."

Everyone stood up and bowed, "Farewell, Your Majesty, Imperial Concubine Xi."

Under the gaze of everyone, Xie Yu took Chen Xier away.

Before leaving, Chen Xier looked back at Lin Junxue, with a look of pride and provocation in her eyes.

Lin Junxue was standing in a high position. Seeing Chen Xier's provocative and complacent look, a smile appeared on her lips.

She just found it funny in her heart. Although she was always confident, she was not so confident that she could match Chen Xier's importance in Xie Yu's heart in just over a month.

If this is true, it is not self-confidence, but arrogance.

When Xie Yu took Chen Xier away, everyone looked at each other and didn't want to stay any longer.

Without Xie Yu here, who would want to stay longer in this hot weather?

Besides, the Emperor had already taken Concubine Xi away, so it was clear that it was Concubine Xi who would sleep with him today.

So, the concubines, led by Sun Manrou, said goodbye to Lin Junxue and left the imperial garden one after another.

In the end, apart from Lin Junxue and Qiao Xin, only Chen Mi and her personal maid Hua Ling remained in the huge imperial garden.

Lin Junxue took a sip of tea slowly, looked at Chen Mi unhurriedly, and curled her lips.

This secret concubine stayed here, maybe she has something to say?

Chen Mi was silent for a few seconds. Suddenly, he stood up and saluted Lin Junxue.

Although Chen Mi's expression looked calm, there was obviously more to his expression than what he showed on the surface, and there was a hint of ripples in his eyes.

Chen Mi said, "Empress, if I have done anything wrong before, I hope you will forgive me."

As for why Chen Mi said this?

That's because, although she had never plotted against Lin Junxue before, she had been disrespectful in some ways.

Of course, it wasn't just her. Many concubines in the harem also didn't take Queen Lin Junxue seriously.

Lin Junxue had an indifferent expression, her lips slightly raised, and her white hands slightly raised.

Although the tone is plain, one can hear a kind of innate majesty hidden deep inside.

"Why did Concubine Mi say that?"

Chen Mi paused, then smiled and said, "Thank you, Queen, for your forgiveness."

Lin Junxue stood up, smiled but said nothing. Qiao Xin took a step forward and Lin Junxue put her hand on her.

Chen Mi bowed his head and said, "Farewell, Queen."

Lin Junxue nodded

"The sun is very strong today, Concubine Mi should go back to the palace to rest early. I will go back to Zhonghe Palace first."

After Lin Junxue and Qiaoxin left, only Chen Mi and her maid Hua Ling were left.

Hua Ling didn't know why her own queen had stayed to show her goodwill to the queen? What did the conversation just now mean?

Hua Ling whispered, "Your Majesty, what on earth were you and the Queen talking about just now?"

Chen Mi stood there, watching Lin Junxue's leaving back, and sighed deeply.

She turned to look at Hua Ling, her eyes meaningful and her voice low.

"Today, I stayed here on purpose just to make my attitude clear to the Empress. Just now, you saw the way the Emperor looked at the Empress. It was different from before. It was a very complicated look. The Emperor's every move showed one thing: his attitude towards the Empress had changed."

Chen Mier said again, "In the past, when Imperial Concubine Xi was around, the Emperor would never have eyes for anyone else. But today, although the Emperor did not say much to the Queen at the flower viewing banquet, he looked at the Queen several times. This has never happened before."

Hua Ling said, "But, Your Majesty, today the Queen won the first prize, but the Emperor did not take the Queen with him. He took Concubine Xi with him. From my perspective, the Emperor still values ​​and loves Concubine Xi the most. Are you overthinking this?"

Chen Mi shook his head

"The Emperor left with Imperial Concubine Xi today, but before leaving, he didn't even glance at any of the concubines. He only looked at the Empress. After all, it was Imperial Concubine Xi who hosted the flower-viewing banquet, so it was normal for the Emperor and Imperial Concubine Xi to leave together. Even now, in the Emperor's heart, the Empress still cannot be compared with Imperial Concubine Xi, but what about the future?"
