Phoenix Palace.
"Zhilan, you probably didn't have the same room last night." After the queen came in, she directly explained Duan Zhilan's predicament.
"Queen Mother... It's not that His Highness doesn't want to... It's just..." Duan Zhilan knew that she couldn't hide it from the Empress. Although she had already handed in a jinpa, in the end, she still looked like this. Can't hide from the queen.
"Okay, you don't have to explain for Yu'er, my son, I naturally know what he thinks." The queen closed her eyes and said a little tiredly.
Duan Zhilan didn't know how to answer the question. In fact, she was full of grievances. It was good for her to love Nan Xuanyu, but she just wanted to monopolize Nan Xuanyu by herself.
However, being born among everyone, she naturally understands that it is impossible for the prince to have only her concubine, and she has already planned to turn a blind eye.
Not to mention that Ji Yueqin, a fox, came out to seduce her husband, and now even that wild woman is going to snatch her.
Duan Zhilan stood there like an eggplant wilted by frost, unable to say anything else. Her face was full of exhaustion because she sat on the bed and waited all night.
However, even if he waited until dawn, Nan Xuanyu did not wait for him in the end.
If you don't love you, no matter how much you give, you won't get the love of the other party. It's like a person standing at a post station waiting for a ship, who will never be able to wait for the ship.
"Zhilan, sit down and have a cup of ginseng tea to refresh your mind. You look like this, you can see that you didn't sleep last night, and the heavy powder on your face can't cover the loss on your face." The queen sipped. He took a sip of ginseng tea and said lightly.
Duan Zhilan sat on the chair, holding the warm teacup in her hand, but even so, she couldn't warm her fingertips.
"His Royal Highness didn't come back last night." Duan Zhilan clenched the teacup tightly, then let go.
The queen frowned, "Could it be that Yu'er still spent the night in that cheap hoof's room?"
Duan Zhilan shook her head, looking lost, "That's not true, His Highness drank wine all night, and finally rested in the guest room."
The queen sighed and said, "Zhilan, although Yu'er has no intention of you, after all, we forced him to marry you, sometimes... love doesn't mean anything. From now on you will be the mistress of the Prince's Mansion. , what you should do is to be perfect and beautiful, and you will be able to keep your position."
Duan Zhilan lowered her head and did not speak.
The queen looked at Duan Zhilan, as if she saw herself back then.
After all, they are all sinking into the misery that they cannot get. In the end, even I didn't know what I wanted.
If what you want is the love of the other party, then let yourself lose everything, is it worth it? Or, would you like to
The queen didn't know if she was willing, she knew she was reluctant, maybe in the face of love and power, she still couldn't let go of power in the end.
Human ** is endless, like an unfathomable bottomless pit. When you are looking at it, it is also looking at you.
Therefore, what people often say is contentment and happiness, which may be the true meaning of happiness.
"Zhilan, the mother doesn't mean that you don't want to fight for favor. If you can get Yu'er's favor, it is naturally the best. However, if you can't get Yu'er's favor, the power of the Prince's Mansion should not be in vain. to others." The queen sighed.
"Zhilan understands, but Zhilan really doesn't know what to do." Duan Zhilan clenched her fists and said sadly.
"Naturally, I have to kick the hoof out of the Prince's Palace first." The Queen sneered, "This Ji Wushuang is not a fuel-efficient lamp. As long as you give her time to grow up, you are definitely not her opponent."
"I know what to do." Duan Zhilan listened, and returned to her previous expression, "I want to smash the person who is blocking my way!"
The queen looked at Duan Zhilan's appearance and was slightly taken aback. What is the difference between such Duan Zhilan and her original self
"This palace is also lacking, if you think about it clearly. But don't push yourself too hard, Zhilan. If you really can't do anything, just come to the queen mother. After all, the queen mother is also your aunt, so naturally Towards you." The Queen's tone softened as she patted Duan Zhilan's hand.
"Aunt, Zhilan understands, thank aunt for her advice to Zhilan." Duan Zhilan said gratefully.
"We are a family, so why say such a thing. Well, you haven't rested all night. Go back to the Purple Light Palace to rest. As for Yu'er, I will tell him well." The queen smiled. road.
"This incense can help you sleep. If you take some back and use it, it will make you relax."
"Thank you mother, Zhilan went back first. The mother looked a little bad, but because of the harem?" Duan Zhilan said with concern.
"It's okay, it's just that you've been busy with your marriage recently. Maybe you're a little tired. Go back and rest first. The mother has some things to deal with." The queen rubbed her brows and said.
"Zhilan knows. So Zhilan will retire first." Duan Zhilan was blessed and left the Fengxi Palace.
As soon as Duan Zhilan left, the queen's face sank.
At this time, Lu Ping walked behind the queen and kneaded her tight temples for the queen.
"Why is Niangniang upset, but for the concubine and concubine? If so, why not just eliminate those who block the concubine and concubine. In this way, wouldn't it save the concubine a lot of thought?"
"No. Zhilan is not yet mature, this Ji Wushuang is just right to be Zhilan's opponent." The queen naturally had her thoughts in her heart.
"However, if Ji Wushuang grows up, wouldn't it be wrong?" Lu Ping was still a little worried.
"Don't worry, this Ji Wushuang won't pull out of my palm. But it's not because of Zhilan. Ji Wushuang is not yet ready, so it's not my turn to worry about it." The queen's brows were still tight.
Lu Ping did not answer, she knew that the master would finish the sentence by himself.
"The emperor is already suspicious of us, and I'm afraid the blood cherry pavilion has been exposed." The queen paused and continued, "The emperor gave Zhilan a gold medal to avoid death."
Even a person as calm as Lu Ping was suddenly speechless in surprise.
"How precious is this death-free gold medal? There are people in civil and military affairs throughout the dynasty who have a death-free gold medal, but there are only a few people, and generally only those who have made great achievements can get it. Now Zhilan has got a piece, what does this mean, naturally It goes without saying." The Queen said in a cold tone.
"Since that's the case, Niangniang might as well go straight..." Lu Ping's eyes narrowed into a slit. At this time, only one or two actions can make a big deal happen.
