"Xiao Luzi, which mistress has the Emperor gone to these past few days?" My expression was calm, but there was a coldness that couldn't be felt.

Xiao Luzi glanced at me, and then raised his eyebrows: "Return to Young Mistress, Your Majesty has often summoned talent, Young Mistress Pan, to accompany you in your sleep today. and would occasionally go to Noble Consort Mian's place to accompany them. "

I nodded. "I seemed to have something troubling me seeing the emperor yesterday. Do you know what it is? "

Xiao Luzi lowered his head and said, "This servant heard that it is related to Empress Dowager's fiftieth birthday. The Emperor tore down the old palaces of the Thousand An Mountain and built a new one for the Empress Dowager. It was just that they had spent a lot of manpower and resources to speak out against it. "Moreover, the Emperor is worried that there isn't enough time."

I smiled softly and immediately said, "Help me change my clothes and go to the Pilgrimage Palace."

Ning Zhi changed me into a light purple skirted skirt, and I simply put on a spiral bun before hurrying out of the door.

Ning Zhi didn't say anything along the way, as she knew that she had guessed my intentions. He smiled faintly, "Do you think that I've become like the concubine imprisoned in the imperial harem?"

"This servant doesn't dare, this servant is just afraid that Young Mistress will choose a path that will cause her pain to walk." I didn't expect her to see what I meant. She smiled sadly. "It's a good thing I still have you by my side."

He raised his hand and looked at the misty sky, "In order to protect the people you care about, you must become stronger." Only if you far surpass others would they dare not dream of becoming you. Instead, they willingly lower their heads and bow at your feet. "

"No matter what decision Young Mistress makes, this servant will follow you until the end of time." Ning Zhi slightly smiled, her eyes were as clear as a pearl. It reassured me a little.

When the Queen saw that it was me, she was somewhat surprised. Apart from the morning sickness, few concubines took the initiative to travel to the Queen's Palace. Firstly, the empress had no time to bother with the trifling matters of the harem, and rather, the empress had no interest in them at all.

"I came here today to offer my services." The Queen didn't know what was going on and just smiled, signalling me to continue.

I then replied, "Mount Wan'an is a slightly higher mountain. It would be extremely difficult for it to rebuild the palace through the demolition of the old palaces. If a river led from the West Harbour Pier to the foot of the mountain, they would be able to directly transport the building materials down the river. It is also advisable to dig ditch mud for building materials. In the end, all we need to do is to fill up the river with the rubble that we don't need to build. "

After a while, the empress smiled. "Everyone in the palace praises Shuyuan for her intelligence. Indeed, she is." The Empress instructed Bao Juan who was behind her: "Bring some milk thousand layer cake for Shuyuan to try." Bao Juan left together with the servants.

Only then did the empress say to me, "It's just that Wanqing seems to have used the wrong place wisely." The empress fiddled with the jade bracelet in her hand, not caring at all, "This method is indeed good, it has solved the emperor's worries. I just do not understand, why you did not offer your respects to the Emperor, but instead chose to tell me? "

I smiled gently and spoke with a soothing tone: "Empress understands that Wanqing entering the palace is just a substitute marriage. Besides, ever since they entered the palace, the conflict has been even more unending. I'm afraid … "

My tone was desolate, but the topic of the conversation suddenly changed: "But to be able to obtain the Empress's blessing, it must be Wanqing's fortune." The empress carelessly sipped a mouthful of tea. "Do you know that I've never cared about the struggles of the harem? Why would I help you?"

I lowered my eyebrows and replied respectfully, "Empress honors the world. Wanqing also hopes that the First Prince will become the dragon and phoenix in the future." The empress closed her jade cup lightly. "I know what you're thinking, so I'll give you one in return."

Upon hearing the voice, Bao Qi carried a plate of sweet and tasty Jade Skin Watermelon: "I've heard that little sister likes to eat melon, but I didn't know that little sister would like this melon in the palace, and little sister wasn't the only one."

I will laugh in my heart, and the doubts in my heart will finally clear up.
