In the end, He Lan Xue retracted her hand and stood at the back, quietly watching her writing. She didn't know how much time had passed, but an exceptionally handsome youth suddenly appeared on a piece of paper. However, the youth's pupils were dull and lifeless, his beauty lacking.

"Alright." She placed the brush back into the pen holder and passed the painting to Eleven, "Send it to the Prime Minister's Mansion for Pei Ruochen."

Eleven took it and carefully reminded her, "Miss, Young Master Pei no longer belongs to the Prime Minister's Residence. His Majesty had bestowed a prince consort's residence with this painting. Is it to be delivered to the Prime Minister's residence or to Young Master Pei?"

Before Haeru could reply, He Lan Xue snatched the painting from the hands of Eleven and said lightly, "Give it to me. I'll pass it to the Ministry of Justice."

Eleven stuck his tongue out, then he suddenly remembered He Lan Xue's earlier warning not to mention Pei Ruochen in front of her.

After folding the portrait and putting it away in her bosom, He Lan Xue saw that her lover's expression was very good. She then said, "My wife …" Little Rong wants to see you. "

"Xiao Rong?" Her lover looked up at him and then exclaimed, "Empress Xiao Rong?"

"Yes, she wants to personally thank you for saving her life." He Lan Xue's face was strange. She said with a bit of difficulty, "Also …" You'er also wants to see you. "

"Oh." Her lover only replied indifferently, without the slightest feeling of offense.

She suddenly felt that she had gone too far. Was it possible to be so arbitrary and never worry about her feelings just because her lover had never cared?

"Forget it." He Lan Xue became inexplicably heroic. "Eleven, go and tell Eunuch Zhu that her body is sick and can't go to the palace for the banquet."

"Your highness, this is the empress's first time but there's no banquet. Eunuch Zhu specifically told me …" Eleven hesitates to remind me.

She had heard the decree just now.

"This is not something that you should care about —" He Lan Xue frowned and reprimanded in a low voice.

"I'm not sick." Suddenly, her lover interrupted her and looked at the two of them indifferently. "Isn't it just eating and drinking? "I was just hungry."

After pausing for a moment, she looked at He Lan Xue with a slobbering face. With eager eyes, she asked, "You're sitting in a palanquin, you don't have to walk, do you?"

"In the sedan." He Lan Xue didn't know whether to laugh or cry.

Her lover nodded with a cheerful expression, as if she had been like a few months ago, lazy and heartless.

When he returned to the Imperial Palace, he naturally did not have to sigh in admiration.

She only felt that the palace was made of red walls and green tiles, which gave her an indescribable feeling of oppression and indifference.

She suddenly felt very uneasy, as if something very bad was about to happen.

When they were about to leave, He Lan Xue suddenly took a white fox neck and put it on, and then used her fingers to pick out the hair. Tighten with a ribbon.

She let him dress her up like a doll, and when she was done packing up, she took out the rest book from her bosom and handed it to He Lan Xue.

"You keep it." He Lan Xue said indifferently.

Although she didn't quite understand, she once again took back the letter of rest. At that time, she saw He Lan Xue's eyes. That gloomy and resolute expression made her feel a kind of ominous foreboding in her heart.

Just like at this moment, the feeling of standing at the foot of the Imperial City.

"The banquet has not started yet. Go with Eunuch Zhu to your sister's palace. In the evening, you will use Madam Lin to attend the banquet. When the banquet is over, I will come to pick you up." When She Lan Xue said this, her voice was very low, almost to the point of gentleness.

Hailan Xue's tone seemed to move her. She unexpectedly replied, "Then I'll wait for you to come pick me up."

Last time, she had been kidnapped and taken to Pei Ruochen's room because he hadn't come to pick her up.

This time, he probably wouldn't forget.

She had not expected him to say something like this, as if she had no other use for her other than to provide food and clothing. That was, to bring her home.

But, He Lan Xue didn't answer. She just smiled and stretched out her hand to rearrange her neck.

The snow-white fox fur coat reflected her round and delicate face. She seemed so pure and pure, but she was also full of vitality.

Then, he turned around and his slender figure quickly disappeared into the end of the long corridor, disappearing into the countless buildings.

At this moment, Eunuch Zhu made a gesture of greeting and said respectfully, "Imperial Consort Xiao Yao, esteemed wangfei Lin's palace is here. This way, please."

Eli nodded and obediently followed Eunuch Zhu towards Eli, who she hadn't seen for a long time.

Deep in the hall, there was a game of chess, a cup of tea, and two men in brocade robes playing chess.

Facing the entrance of the hall was He Lan Qin, who was dressed in a light purple tight suit. His handsome face and heroic spirit didn't lessen, but there was an additional tinge of depression on his face.

He was a black sheep.

The other person had his back to the door of the hall, and all he saw was a slender figure wrapped in yellow casual clothes. As he leisurely sat there, he gave off an indescribably oppressive and intimidating aura.

He was the white man.

In the chess game on the table, Bai Zi was still calm and composed, but Blackie had already been forced into a corner.

He Lan Qin's face didn't change, but the gloom in his eyes became denser and denser.

Finally, he threw away the black object in his hand and said dejectedly: "Big Brother, I didn't expect that even after five years outside the palace, I still can't take a step out of the palace — — I lost, this time I am still the same as five years ago, the two of them will not help each other, and will return to the main camp on the same day. I will not interfere in the matter between you and third brother. "

"In the army, where can it be as dangerous as the palace?" The man in front of her lightly laughed. His voice was calm, but it still had a hint of coldness to it that made people unable to breathe.

He Lan Qin sighed in agreement and then asked, "Actually, all these years, Third Brother has never asked about politics. In the game world, Big Brother — Your Majesty, if you could …"

"I don't want to hurt him." The one who held Bai Zi, the Emperor He Lan Chun, stood up with his hands behind his back, looking down at the dangerous chess game that was just a few battles. He said calmly, "I'm afraid that when the time comes, he will be the one looking for trouble."

He Lanqin shook his head with a look of pity on his face.

When she finally reached the entrance of Eli's palace, Eunuch Zhu handed her over to a maid. They walked through countless corridors and drapes before finally stopping in front of Eli.

Perhaps it was because the palace's food was more important to one's health than the Yi Mansion's. Irene looked even more beautiful than before, so radiant that no one dared to look at her.

"Sister." Eli showed an unprecedented enthusiasm as she saw her sister. She grabbed her hands: "Elder sister misses you."

Her lover blinked. Although he didn't know what was going on, he was still infected by her enthusiasm.

"You don't even know how lonely your sister has been these days." Eileen pulled her to the side of the cave, sat down next to her, and began to pour water on her. "Everyone in this palace is a snob," she said. "He is not a trusted aide of the Rong family, but a trusted aide of the Pei family. Even the palace eunuchs have formed their own cliques. Your sister is from no sect, and your mother is just a merchant. Life has been tough."

Eli seemed to be touched as she tried to squeeze out two drops of tears.

Her lover seemed to understand but not really. He just quietly looked at her, waiting for her to finish with all of her suffering.

"Actually, the Rong family is still alright. Although Queen Rong is the queen, they did not fight for her, and being a servant is being polite. The most detestable thing is Pei Rulan, Imperial Concubine Lan!" Wasn't it just a father who was a pope, and a brother who was a consort? "What's the big deal, look at her strutting around, this palace, the empress's words don't count, just her, the golden mouth, she doesn't say a thing or two — and the king pampered her, so tell me, what kind of world is this?" Elin was angry.

Her lover still did not interrupt, but only used his eyes to show that he was sympathizing with her.

Irin was encouraged and enjoyed herself, so she stopped talking about her own affairs. Instead, she said with concern: "What about you, sister? How are you doing in the palace? The last time you risked your life to save the empress, the prince should be even more fond of you now. "

"Live in the prince's mansion …" The lover thought about it carefully, then nodded affirmatively and said, "Very good."

She was definitely the ideal candidate: rich and free, and she would never be bothered by anything.

Eli answered with an 'oh' and then remembered something. She asked cautiously, "There's a rumor going around in the palace. My sister is asking you if it's true or not."

"What?"

"Gongzi Chuan, you and Princess Lu are going to steal my husband. As an imperial concubine, you are in love with Young Master Pei. Do you think the Pei Residence is a malicious place? Little sister, as long as you say it, we'll immediately find Queen Rong and make her uphold justice! You saved Queen Rong last time, she'll definitely investigate you fairly. "

"But …" It's true. " Her lover replied nonchalantly, "I did rob Pei Ruochen, but I did not manage to rob her." She sighed and added, "He said that I gave him far too little of what he wanted."

Eileen's eyes widened as she looked at her sister in disbelief. She calmed down, suddenly remembering the past and then feeling relieved.

Her sister had always been a fool — calm, calm, calm!

"I don't care what happened. In any case, tonight's banquet will be attended by Prince Consort Ma and Princess. If anyone asks, you must say that there is no such thing." Do you hear me? " Eileen could not imagine how shameful the Yi family would be if their master admitted to his wrongdoings at the banquet.

The woman did not nod. She just sat there, deep in thought.

Eileen saw her sister's stubborn look and was about to give in to her love and reason. A palace maid walked in from outside and bowed. "Esteemed wangfei, the empress invites esteemed Empress to the Phoenix Landing Palace for a banquet."

"It's still early, why is the banquet starting already?" Eli put away the 'resentful woman' look on her face and put on a reserved look.

"The Empress said that because it was still too early, she feared that all the Empress would be hungry, so she wanted all the Empress to go to the Phoenix Landing Palace together to eat some snacks." That palace maid was quick-witted as she quickly replied.

Eli replied with an 'oh'. She looked down at her makeup and said, "Go back and tell the empress that I need to pack up. I'll be there shortly."

The palace maid then restrained herself and said, "The empress also instructed that Princess Carefree would like to invite her over for a chat."
