Imperial Concubine Hui?

In Yun Qixi's mind, that beautiful and elegant face appeared, as well as that meaningful look she had when she looked at her.

She didn't know if the Miss Er had interacted with this Imperial Concubine Hui before, she only knew that ever since she took over this identity, she had never interacted with her before. Although she accidentally startled her horse that day, Imperial Concubine should not know that she was the one who caused this mess.

So, what did she want from her?

Yun Fenglie was just beside her, and upon hearing the palace maid's words, he said to Yun Qixi, "Qi Xi, since the Imperial Concubine Hui is looking for you, you should hurry up and go. Don't make the Empress wait too long."

Yun Qixi nodded her head, "Then Father, you guys go back first."

"But, it's already so late. What will you do when you leave the palace?" Yun Fenglie was a little worried.

"Father, you and Mother can go back first, I'll wait for seventy percent chance outside the palace." Yun Chong's voice suddenly came from his side, he must have heard their conversation.

Yun Fenglie's expression was very tired. Today's banquet, to him, was even more tiring than fighting a battle.

's expression was a little unnatural. Today, Yun Qixi had almost made her into a woman that everyone despised, she should have hated her, but Yun Qixi giving the position of Crown Princess to Yun Lanyue in a casual manner was completely out of her expectations. She was unable to guess what Yun Qixi's intentions were, but Jun Wu Yi was making fun of her. At the very least, the fact that Yun Lanyue was a future Crown Princess was already an uncontestable fact. They could be considered to have fulfilled their wishes.

"Chong'er, you must wait for the Double Seventh Festival. It's already so late; after all, this is a girl's house." Her words were said to Yun Chong, but it was said to Yun Qixi.

Hearing her words, Yun Qixi sneered in her heart without batting an eyelid, but she was still impressed by her self-control, she could still pretend that so many things had happened.

After watching them leave, Yun Qixi then followed this palace maid who came to deliver messages.

He walked down the path, through the corridors and winding paths. Finally, he arrived in front of a quiet and secluded palace. On the signboard, three large words called Yi Yue Palace were written.

Moonlight scattered down into the courtyard. There were a few jasmine flowers that bloomed just right. The refreshing fragrance wafted in the air, bringing along a comfortable and cool breeze with it.

Even after she walked into the room, the fragrance was still there. Then, she quickly discovered that there were a few pure white jasmine flowers in a blue and white porcelain vase on the table.

"Miss Er Yun, Imperial Concubine Hui just returned from Taihe Temple and is a bit tired. She is currently resting inside. You should wait here for a while, Clove will be going down first."

With that, the palace maid called Lilac withdrew herself, regardless of whether she agreed or not.

He had called her here on purpose, yet he ran over to rest. What was the meaning of this?

At this moment, she was the only one left in the outer room. She was bored and started to look around.

The Yi Yue Palace was elegant and unique, it was an incense table, a guqin, a pearl curtain, and not a high key nor a high key. It could be seen that Imperial Concubine was a woman with very good taste. It was said that a woman's temperament was nurtured, and that the Imperial Concubine's elegance was nurtured in such an environment. To put it bluntly, the Emperor had treated her quite well.

Yi, on that small pear wood carved flower, there was actually a string of pearls shining? From the looks of it, Juebi was a high-quality pearl. Such a long string was definitely worth quite a bit of silver.

Damn, don't tempt her! She could stand anything but temptation.

Calm down! Calm down! She forced herself to calm down.

How could such a precious item be placed in such an eye-catching position? If she had forgotten to accept it, it wouldn't be so coincidental.

So she was testing her? But, what relationship did she have with her? Was he trying to make things difficult for her after eating so much?

It seemed that all the women in this palace were not easy to deal with, especially those who could gain a favor.

Yun Qixi retracted her gaze, no longer looking at the string of pearls, she stood quietly at her original position, not moving an inch.

After an unknown period of time, Yun Qixi felt her legs going stiff, but not a single shadow appeared.

In terms of calmness, she had trained herself in the special field of tomb robbing. But Imperial Concubine was obviously doing this on purpose.

Just as Yun Qixi was about to retreat and turn around to leave, Clove came back with a cup of tea.

She placed the teacup on the table, turned around, and said to Yun Qixi, "Miss Er Yun, this servant thinks that the Empress will wake up soon. The Empress has a habit of drinking jasmine tea right after waking up, but the Empress's bird nest is still simmering inside the imperial kitchens, this servant fears that I have overdone it. Could I ask Miss Er for a favor to bring this bowl of tea in when Empress wakes up? "

Although she knew that it might be a trap, Yun Qixi still did not have the heart to reject her.

"No problem, go ahead."

"Thank you, Miss Er." Hearing this, Clove's face lit up, and she hurriedly retreated out of the room.

As expected, as soon as she left, there was movement from behind the bead curtain.

"Lilac." It was the Imperial Concubine's slightly tired voice.

According to Lilac's instructions, Yun Qixi brought in the tea bowl.

"Greetings Imperial Concubine Hui."

Imperial Concubine propped up half her body from the beauty's bed. When she saw that it was her, she was not surprised, but only said indifferently.

"Rise."

"Thank you, Imperial Concubine Hui." Yun Qixi stood up, holding a teacup, she walked forward, "Imperial Concubine Hui, please enjoy the tea."

Imperial Concubine's eyes were beautiful phoenix eyes, looking forward to the future. Her gaze landed on Yun Qixi's lowered eyelashes for a long time before she reached out her hand to receive them.

"This lilac, she actually tried to use the Miss Yun. She went to the side to slack off herself, she really deserves to be punished." Imperial Concubine's tone of voice was light, although she said that, she did not raise her hand to receive the bowl of tea.

Just as the handover was completed, the tea bowl fell out of Imperial Concubine's hands. She reacted quickly and reached out her hand to catch the bowl of tea. Inevitably, a few drops of water fell on her hands.

"Ah, it didn't hit you, did it?" Imperial Concubine was very surprised.

Yun Qixi endured the burning pain on the back of her hand and smiled faintly. "Fortunately, I didn't break the Empress's green tea bowl."

Seeing her calm and unperturbed expression, a trace of praise surfaced in Imperial Concubine's eyes. She took the tea bowl from her hands again, and blew on it.

"You know this is Mei Ziqing?"

Of course, he was an expert at robbing tombs after all. If he didn't know what was good for him, how could he have done what was good for him?

Yun Qixi raised her head without batting an eyelid, and replied, "When I had nothing to do, I studied a little."

Imperial Concubine gracefully used the lid of the bowl to take a sip of the tea that was floating in the air. She blew on it at a steady pace for a good while, then took a sip and laughed lightly.

At the beginning, when we were at the Taihe Temple, I saw that piece of silk you took out. Even though it was just a look from afar, we could still see that your embroidery was pretty good, and it seemed to have a high grade flower pattern. I had been unable to find a reliable person to come and watch over my embroidery, and I wonder if Miss Yun would be willing to help me out.

Hearing that, Yun Qixi's entire body didn't look good. She could say that she had played with all sorts of tools, but had never played with embroidery needles before?

"Why, is Miss Yun not willing?" Imperial Concubine seemed to be troubled.

Yun Qixi lowered his eyes and smiled, "This subject's weak embroidery skills enter the Empress's eyes, it is my honor. However, this subject's hands are injured today, so I am afraid it will be difficult to help the Empress."

Imperial Concubine seemed to have suddenly realized something, "Oh yes, how did I forget about that? Should I call an imperial physician? " The Imperial Concubine said.

"No need, just a small wound. It's alright." Yun Qixi tried her best to appear calm and collected.

Looking for an imperial physician? That's more like it.

Imperial Concubine only thought that she was being polite and laughed, "A woman's hands are the most precious, it's better to find an imperial physician, Clove." Then she called.

Yun Qixi was just about to say that Lilac was not present, but she did not expect her to rush in at the fastest speed possible.

"Your servant is here."

Damn, it really was a pit!

"Go, find an imperial physician to help Miss Yun see what's going on." Imperial Concubine said to Lilac.

Yun Qixi was already thinking of a plan to deal with the imperial physician, but suddenly she shouted loudly.

"Prince Jin has arrived."

After saying that, the sound of the carriage rolling on the stone floor came closer, and then, the bead curtain made a crisp sound, and Shan Liancheng was pushed in.

As if he knew Yun Qixi was here, there was not the slightest bit of astonishment in his eyes. Her gaze lightly swept across Yun Qixi and then turned towards Imperial Concubine, calling out, "Mufei."

Shan Liancheng's appearance helped Yun Qixi a lot, but when Yun Qixi looked over, not only was she not grateful in the slightest, she was even holding back her laughter.

In front of his own mother, he was still pretending. If she didn't bite her tongue so hard, she would definitely burst out laughing.

"Lian Cheng, you're here." When the Imperial Concubine saw Shan Liancheng, he immediately became spirited.

"This is the Miss Yun, we've met at the banquet today, I'm sure you remember it." Imperial Concubine even specially introduced her to Shan Liancheng.

Shan Liancheng looked at Yun Qixi blandly and nodded slightly, making it seem as if it was their first time meeting each other. Yun Qixi had no choice but to cooperate with his acting, and lightly nodded.

The Imperial Concubine laughed. "I had originally wanted to trouble his to embroider a flower for me, seeing that Miss Yun's embroidery skills were excellent, and hadn't considered the fact that Miss Yun's hands were injured. I was about to ask Clove to find an imperial physician. Lian Cheng, you came just in time. Why don't you bring Miss Yun to the Grand Hospital? "

Shan Liancheng quietly listened and raised his smooth chin, his Adam's apple slid as he lightly said, "Yes."

Imperial Concubine's gaze continued to shift between Shan Liancheng and Yun Qixi, between his brows, a smile slowly formed, as though he was in an extremely good mood. She looked gentle and amiable, her voice was always gentle and soft, but Yun Qixi suddenly had a bad premonition that he would be sold out without anyone noticing.

This was a land of war, it was best to leave this place as soon as possible!
