Both worlds are like dreams

After lunch, she took a nap with Mo Xingyue, and in the afternoon she followed her for a walk in the Imperial Garden.

It was not known whether it was a coincidence or Concubine Li got the news, but when Xue Huang and Mo Xingyue were playing by the pool, Concubine Li also came to the Imperial Garden.

Xue Huang's first reaction was to pull Mo Xingyue away, but unfortunately the other party had already seen them, so it was not possible for them to run away.

Mo Xingyue was puzzled and asked in a low voice: "What's wrong?"

Xue Huang did not answer, but motioned her to look in another direction. Concubine Rong was also coming here.

Mo Xingyue also reacted at this time, curled her lips and said: "You are not giving up yet?"

Concubine Li's rank was lower than that of Concubine Rong, so she bowed first, "Hello, Concubine sister. I didn't expect to meet you here. What a coincidence!"

Concubine Rong smiled faintly, "Concubine Li, there is no need to be polite. It is rare for me to see you in this imperial garden."

Concubine Li looked at Xue Huang and Mo Xingyue, "The two princesses are here too. It seems like we haven't seen each other for a long time."

Mo Xingyue bowed and said, "Hello, ladies."

Xue Huang did not salute, but just nodded to show courtesy. After all, she was now a princess of two countries, and the eldest princess of Dongchu was even more noble, so she did not need to salute them at all.

Concubine Rong said, "Princess Changle is here too. It has been a long time since we last met at my banquet."

"It has been a while indeed," Xue Huang replied, "Is the queen okay?"

"Everything is fine with me." Concubine Rong said with a smile.

Concubine Li spoke up, "Sister Imperial Concubine is naturally fine. I heard that the Second Prince's wife is pregnant. I want to congratulate you in advance. You are about to become a grandmother."

Concubine Rong's face suddenly became a little ugly. She was already over 40 years old. Even if she took good care of herself, she was not as good as those concubines in their twenties or thirties, especially compared with Concubine Li in front of her. She was not as graceful as her, not to mention Xue Huang and Mo Xingyue who were only 18 years old and in their prime. So Concubine Li's words "become a grandmother" were really heartbreaking.

But she then relaxed her expression, and even felt a little proud. "At my age, it is a blessing to have children and grandchildren. Concubine Li should stop busying herself with making incense for His Majesty all day long, and give birth to a prince for His Majesty as soon as possible, which can also be regarded as a relief for His Majesty."

Since the Sixth and Seventh Princes died young many years ago, the royal family has not had any more princes. Now the youngest princess in the palace is thirteen years old, which shows that Emperor Ling has not had any children for many years.

In the harem, mothers have always been honored by their sons. Although Concubine Rong is old, she has always been favored by Emperor Ling. So even if Concubine Li is young and beautiful, and can capture the emperor's heart, she has no children, and her honor and favor in the harem will disappear sooner or later.

This is also the reason why Concubine Rong never takes her seriously.

Concubine Li did not show any sign of being angry at her words, and only said, "How can I be as lucky as my sister?"

Xue Huang and Mo Xingyue were watching from the side. Although the two men spoke slowly, their few short sentences were full of sharp sarcasm and they were sarcasm to each other.

The two of them looked at each other, both feeling helpless.

Mo Xingyue even looked like: Look, this is the harem, none of them are good.

Xue Huang also felt tired and didn't want to get involved in the Shura field between Concubine Rong and Concubine Li, so she and Mo Xingyue just sat there in silence.

Unexpectedly, the two of them brought the topic back to her and Mo Xingyue.

Concubine Rong said first: "If we talk about luck, Princess Xingyue is more blessed. I heard that His Royal Highness the Regent is handsome and promising at a young age. He is a rare good man. Even your second brother said that he is a perfect match for you."

Mo Xingyue blinked her big eyes with a surprised expression, "Does Second Brother really think so?"

"Of course," Concubine Rong said with a smile, "There are so many princesses in the palace, who doesn't know that your second brother loves you the most? When you get married, I don't know when I can see you again."

Mo Xingyue smiled. Over the years in the harem, Concubine Rong had been quite nice to her, and Mo Zhenyu also treated her better than other princesses. But Mo Xingyue had always known that if she was not her father's favorite daughter, she would probably not have received their care.

There was calculation, but also a rare trace of sincerity. But from now on, this sincerity would probably disappear the moment she was about to marry Dong Chu.

"I know that my Second Brother loves me, don't worry, Madam. No matter where I marry, I will never forget you and my Second Brother."

"The princess is still so sweet. She was a little kid as tall as my knees back then, but now she is getting married. I must choose a gift for you and congratulate you on your wedding."

Mo Xingyue smiled and said, "Thank you, Imperial Concubine."

Concubine Rong nodded and looked at Xue Huang, "Of course there is also Princess Changle. Princess Changle chose Prince Hanxi as her consort, which was something I had never thought of. But I still sincerely congratulate the princess, wishing her a happy marriage and a happy life."

Xue Huang said, "Thank you, Imperial Concubine."

"I will also prepare gifts to express my congratulations."

"Your Majesty, you're welcome."

Concubine Li spoke meaningfully, "Sister, from what you said, it seems that you don't agree with Princess Changle's choice. Prince Han Xi is also an important minister of the country. He is one of the best in Shangyang City in terms of both military and civil skills, family background and appearance. In terms of temperament, he is not inferior to the regent of Dongchu. The princess chose Prince Han Xi. It is a perfect match. It is a good story."

Concubine Rong sneered in her heart. Xue Huang chose King Han Xi, and Concubine Li has always been a member of the Third Prince's party, so she was naturally proud of it.

She was angry in her heart, but she said calmly: "Princess Changle's choice certainly makes sense. How could I not agree with it?"

Concubine Li knew that Concubine Rong had something else in mind. Everyone knew that Xue Huang and the Prince of Jingguo, Gu Qinglan, were in love with each other, and she also had a close relationship with the Fifth Prince. But in the end, she chose Prince Hanxi, Mo Yunchen. There must be another hidden story behind this.

However, it is hard to say whether this secret is beneficial or harmful to the Third Prince's party.

She smiled and held Xue Huang's hand affectionately, "I believe that Princess Changle's choice will be the right one. After getting married and consecrating, you will be husband and wife. From now on, you will naturally be of one mind and one heart, and share honor and disgrace."

Concubine Rong also understood the meaning of her words. She meant that no matter what Xue Huang would achieve, as long as she married King Han Xi, they would all prosper together and suffer together.

Whether you support the third prince or the fifth prince, you have to make a careful choice.

But Concubine Rong didn't believe that Xue Huang would support the Third Prince, so she just smiled at Concubine Li's words and said, "Concubine Li is right. I also hope that Princess Changle and King Hanxi can live in harmony and grow old together."

Xue Huang was speechless.

These two are fighting like gods, does she have to be involved?

She winked at Mo Xingyue: Don't just stand there, find a way to escape!

Mo Xingyue didn't want to listen to their nagging any longer. When she saw Xue Huang's look, she immediately understood what she meant and came up with an idea in a flash.

She covered her stomach, pulled Xue Huang, and a look of pain appeared on her face.

Xue Huang supported her and asked, "What's wrong with you?"

Mo Xingyue glanced at Concubine Rong and Concubine Li, looking a little shy, "I... I seem to be... that..."

Concubine Rong understood instantly, "You should go back quickly. Be careful and don't catch a cold."

Mo Xingyue nodded, the expression on her face becoming more and more uncomfortable, "Then I'll leave first."

Seeing this, Xue Huang said, "Please forgive me, my two majesties. Chang Le will send Princess Xing Yue back to the palace first and will visit you another day."

After saying that, he didn't care what they had to say and just helped Mo Xingyue away.

After walking out of the Imperial Garden and seeing that there was no one around, Mo Xingyue smiled complacently, "How was it, did I act well?"

"Very good!" Xue Huang said with a smile.

"Do you think they will believe it?"

"Who cares?" Xue Huang raised an eyebrow, "I've gotten rid of them anyway."

"Noble Concubine Rong and Concubine Li have always been at odds with each other. Whenever they meet, they always bully each other openly or covertly. It is definitely not a coincidence that they appear here today."

"Noble Concubine Rong wants to make a final attempt to win her over. Concubine Li should be here to test her."

"You'd better be careful in the future." Mo Xingyue was a little worried. She didn't dare to imagine what Xue Huang would face after marrying Mo Yunchen, but it was conceivable that she would never be able to escape the struggle for power in Shangyang City, and would never be able to go to her own world and be free.

"Don't worry about me." Xue Huang smiled. "I have the gold medal of immunity from death and the letter of pardon. I am also the princess of Dong Chu. If anyone dares to plot against me, I will beat him until he doubts his life."

"That's what you said," Mo Xingyue looked at her seriously, "You must remember this sentence forever. From now on, no matter who bullies you, you must not swallow your anger. Just use the rules of your Guigu Sect to solve it. I don't want you to be who you used to be because of this compromise."

Xue Huang understood what she meant. She smiled and said, "I promise you."
