Li Yi shook his head and smiled and said, "No."

He took Qi Yue's hand and pulled the person into his arms: "The queen is very beautiful."

Qi Yue smiled, and she lit her fingers on Li Yi's forehead, and her soft fingertips slid down against his forehead, sliding across the straight bridge of her nose, and finally staying on Li Yi's cold and thin lips.

Li Yi's lips are perfect. When he looks at Qi Yue like this, the corners of his lips are slightly raised. Judging from his skin, this man is indistinguishable from his faults.

Qi Yue smiled slightly: "There are so many beautiful women. Your Majesty always praises his concubines. Do you praise others?"

He opened his mouth and bit Qi Yue's finger: "No, I'm only doing this to you."

Qi Yue retracted her hand and turned her back. She covered her heart and her movements were a little secret because she was facing away from Li Yi, and Li Yi couldn't see it.

Qi Yue looked at the green Bulao Lake in the distance. No matter how far it was, there were gorgeous and magnificent palaces. Qi Yue saw the big since she was a child, and until now, she still felt like she had first met.

Miss Chen from the Chen Hanlin family, whose name is Qiujun, is sixteen years old this year. She is beautiful and charming, with a slim figure. She is one of the most beautiful women in a hundred years.

She was used to being praised by others and was praised since childhood, so when she saw Di Yulian, she was inevitably a little contempt.

Di Yulian's father was a restaurant owner, and he didn't have any official position. He was just a rich businessman. Di Yulian himself was not very good-looking. His waist was too thick and his skin was too rough. Even if he was covered with powder, he could see many spots on Di Yulian's face. Di Yulian's appearance was like a man and didn't know how to dress up. When he entered the palace, his eyes were dripping around.

Chen Qiujun is surrounded by noble girls, who is not as beautiful as a flower? When she thinks that she wants to marry Qi Huai, Di Yulian wants to marry Qi Yu, and the two want to be sisters-in-law, Chen Qiujun feels disgusted.

Chen Qiujun looked down on Di Yulian, and Di Yulian looked down on Chen Qiujun either. In Di Yulian's eyes, what about Hanlin's daughter? The annual salary of a Hanlin scholar is only 100 taels, and he is very poor. Looking at Chen Qiujun's dress of silk and satin, this should be her best clothes, right?

Di Yulian is different. She uses money as much as she wants, so she is not as shabby as Chen Qiujun!

Di Yulian and Shen Qiujun asked Aunt Jing to lead the way to Qifeng Palace. Along the way, Aunt Jing roughly guessed the temperaments of the two ladies.

Aunt Jing said, "Miss Chen, Miss Di, the Empress is not something that anyone can see. Now that the Empress asks you to come, it is a great honor for you."

Chen Qiujun is smart and smart, so he naturally knows it. She also vaguely heard about the situation in the harem. Concubine De committed suicide, Concubine Zhou died suddenly, Concubine Gui was sick, and the Empress held the golden phoenix seal and enjoyed the emperor's favor alone.

It is said that the emperor favored the Empress very much.

The Empress is the most noble woman in the Yan Dynasty. Chen Qiujun thought that when she married into the Qi family the next day, she would definitely witness the Qi family's glory again. She would have to establish a good relationship with the Empress in advance.

Chen Qiujun smiled and said, "Thank you for your advice. Qiujun is very grateful. When you see the Queen, you will do your best to please the Queen."

Di Yulian had already hidden a piece of gold in her hand, and she quietly stuffed it into Aunt Jing's hand: "I hope my aunt can say a few good words."

Aunt Jing did not take it, and she continued: "In front of the Empress, if the two ladies cannot say anything beautiful, it is best not to speak. Too much will lead to mistakes."

Di Yulian was rejected by Aunt Jing, and her ears turned red with awesomeness. She thought Aunt Jing was too little, so she quickly took off the gold ring on her hand: "Aunt..."

Aunt Jing smiled and said, "Miss Di packed the things. There are rules in the palace, so I dare not take them."

Chen Qiujun has a much broader vision than Di Yulian. Although his father Chen Hanlin did not have more money than Di Yulian's father, he actually got a lot of money. The official's identity is much higher than that of the merchant, and Chen Qiujun's father is also an official in the capital. Therefore, what kind of noble daughters Chen Qiujun's daily interactions are the daughters of the princess, county lords, generals, and the daughter of the Grand Tutor, who knows much more than Di Yulian.

She could see at a glance that Aunt Jing was wearing a good white jade bracelet on her wrist. It was delicate and moist, and gold was priceless. Chen Qiujun also saw that her grandmother had one on her hand, which was a hundred times more precious than Di Yulian's gold ring.

Chen Qiujun thought to himself that even the great palace maid in Qifeng Palace is so decent, the Queen must be as favored as rumored. Not only is she favored, but the Queen is also very generous in taking action.

You must perform well later.

After entering the Qifeng Palace Gate, I arrived at the courtyard. A young palace maid in pink clothes happened to come out from inside. The palace maid in pink clothes held a jade plate and said with a smile: "Aunt Jing, you are back. I almost ate all the fruits that the Empress admired just now. There are still these on the plate. I will keep them for you?"

Aunt Jing glared at the palace maid: "Xiangxue, don't be presumptuous, go and do your business!"

Seeing that this young palace maid was so cheerful and swaggering, Chen Qiujun must have been spoiled by his master. If he could spoil the slave like this, the queen must have a very good temper and allowed the slave to be arrogant.

Di Yulian was amazed when she crossed Changchun Bridge. She was fascinated by the magnificent and gorgeous appearance of Qifeng Palace. Such a gorgeous palace built in the middle of the lake was not something she could see normally, and she didn't know what kind of wonderful people lived inside!

Aunt Jing led Di Yulian and Shen Qiujun in. The palace maids on both sides lifted the pearl curtains, and another older aunt came over: "Two ladies, rest here for a while, and the empress will come out later."

This is Aunt Yun. Chen Qiujun saw Aunt Yun’s face and beautiful appearance, not like a tricky and cruel woman. He thought that the Queen would be so close to her.

Chen Qiujun smelled the cold fragrance in the palace. The ground was covered with heavy blankets with complex patterns, and the furnishings around it were elegant. There were several antiques made of priceless tables and chairs. As soon as he sat down, the palace maids presented small and exquisite pastries and fragrant tea.

She picked up a piece of pastry and tasted it carefully. The slightly transparent surface of the dessert should be made of glutinous rice. For some reason, the surface has the mellow taste of fruit wine, and the filling made of petals inside is extremely sweet and melted in the mouth, making people want to eat another piece after eating.

Chen Qiujun restrained himself and stopped touching him after a little taste of the pastry. Instead, he drank fragrant tea. The tea was clear and green, like a piece of flowing jasper. Although it was a bit hot, this temperature was also the most suitable temperature for drinking. After taking a sip, the fragrance remained on his lips and teeth.

Chen Qiujun also did not drink all the tea in one breath, but just tasted it slowly.

She peeked at Di Yulian with a squinted eyes.

Although Di Yulian's father opened a large restaurant everywhere and ate a lot of good things, the folk things were different from those in the palace. After tasting a piece of snack, Di Yulian couldn't help but tempt and ate a plate. The tea served by the palace maids also drank in two sips.

Chen Qiujun secretly mocked Di Yulian in his heart and slowly felt relieved.

No matter what, she compared the merchant's daughter.

It took Qi Yue a quarter of an hour to come out.

Chen Qiujun and Di Yulian quickly stood up and saluted: "Minist daughter/people have met the Queen."

Qi Yue sat on the screen throne and swept over the two of them: "Get up."

Chen Qiujun looked at Qi Yue quietly. Di Yulian was not as polite as Chen Qiujun, but she looked at her carelessly.

The difference between the queen and the two imagined,

They thought that the Empress was a majestic and dignified little woman. Only majesty could shock the six palaces, and only dignity could make His Majesty respect him.

Unexpectedly, the Queen was about the same age as them, and from the perspective of her figure, she even looked greener. Her eyebrows were cold and her expression was faint, and she was as beautiful as a fairy walking out of a painting.

Chen Qiujun thought she was like a fish falling from the geese. At least, among the noble girls in the capital, she had outstanding talents and appearance. Now that she saw the queen, Chen Qiujun felt a strange unwillingness.

Aunt Yun put a cup of tea in front of Qi Yue. Qi Yue took it up, and the misty hot air came out of the tea cup, blocking part of her face.

Chen Qiujun and Di Yulian were both dazed. After a long time, Qi Yue took a sip of tea and glanced at the end of her eyes: "Have you seen enough?"

Di Yulian quickly said, "The Empress is beautiful, and the folk girl has little knowledge. She is stunned for a moment. She is really rude."

Chen Qiujun thought the Empress had a cold face and a warm heart, so she should be a person who was easy to get close to. She asked the palace maid who followed her to the palace to take out a pair of embroidery and said, "Empress, this is an embroidery embroidered by the minister and daughter. The gift is light and the affection is heavy. I will offer it to the Empress."

Qi Yue didn't want Chen Qiujun to come because Chen Qiujun was Qi Huai's fiancée, and Qi Yue didn't have a deep relationship with Qi Huai, but if she only summons Di Yulian to the palace, it would be easy to lose weight. So Qi Yue thought of summoning the two of them into the palace, and had a conversation with Di Yulian alone, and rewarded them with some things before giving them out.

Aunt Jing gave Qi Yue the embroidery presented by Chen Qiujun. Qi Yue glanced at it and was at an average level, but she would not refuse. Qi Yue waved her hand and asked Aunt Jing to take it down.

Qi Yue said, "You are so mean. The scenery in the small garden is very beautiful. Miss Chen, is it your first time to come to Qifeng Palace? Let the palace maid take you to the garden for a walk. You don't have to be restrained. The flowers in the garden can be picked."

Chen Qiujun's smile froze on his face. The Empress asked her to go to appreciate the flowers, but she didn't ask Di Yulian to go. Did she say something to Di Yulian?

She didn't expect that the queen would not want to talk to her, but instead talked to this vulgar businessman's daughter!

Xia Lian came to Chen Qiujun: "Miss Chen, please come with me."

Chen Qiujun looked back and looked at Di Yulian again. Di Yulian was so proud that she gave Chen Qiujun a contemptuous smile.

Chen Qiujun grabbed the palm of his hand hard and despised the queen who was blind and the vulgar Di Yulian in his heart.

When Chen Qiujun left, the palace maid presented Di Yulian with new tea and snacks.

Qi Yue spoke slowly: "Miss Di, I heard that you are engaged to my brother. Do you know the details?"

When it comes to marriage, girls usually feel hesitant, but Di Yulian is not like this. She has always been bold. Even if the queen is very black and oppressive, Di Yulian can still say something: "A few months ago, someone proposed marriage to the father of a civilian daughter. This person was mentioned by the third son of the Duke Dingguo Mansion. The father of the civilian daughter was extremely happy. After a little investigation of the third son, he agreed. However, the civilian daughter had never seen the third son."

Qi Yue nodded.

Before meeting Di Yulian, Qi Yue really thought that this girl of poor background was not worthy of her younger brother. Now that she saw her, she found that although this girl did not have such a beautiful appearance and had a vulgar behavior, she was considered to be refreshing.

Most importantly, not a fool.

Qi Yue said: "What do you think of this marriage?"

"The young ladies naturally look forward to getting married. The young ladies heard that the third young ladies are elegant and upright. With such a husband, the young ladies yearn for it very much." Di Yulian was quite clever. Her relatives and friends were all people who pursue real interests, and she herself was like this. She wanted real things, fancy things, and just look at them.

As soon as the queen came up, she asked her what she thought about the marriage, obviously she looked down on her and wanted to betroth a better girl to her brother.

After expressing her excitement and expectations, Di Yulian added: "However, if the Empress and the Third Young Master look down on the common women, the common women will not dare to rush to the top."

Since I just gave Aunt Jing gold, but Aunt Jing didn't accept it, Di Yulian could guess that even a slave in Qifeng Palace was so noble, and the master must be noble. How could the noble queen look down on a woman like her?

Some things are engraved in my bones, and Di Yulian cannot change them, nor does she want to change them.

Just like now, she likes snacks and tea on the table, so she can eat them clean so that she will not go against her own distorted attitude.

Qi Yue's face was no longer so cold and solemn. She took a sip of tea: "My brother was not aware of your marriage with my brother at first. My brother was born in a vassal family. The wife of the Duke of Dingguo admired your family's money, so she found someone to ask your father for marriage without telling her."

He asked her for marriage without hiding it, just for her family's money. Although Di Yulian knew that the man in Dingguo's Mansion would inevitably want her rich dowry, she didn't know that the man who wanted to marry her was actually concealed.

What a shame this is for a woman!

"Really?" Di Yulian's face turned red, "Don't the third young master know?"

"My brother has already had a happy person. If Dingguo Duke's Mansion told him directly and asked him to find a marriage for him, as long as he was not a happy person, even the princess, he would not agree. Miss Di, you are very clear and worth marrying home, but it's a pity that you have no fate with your younger brother." Qi Yue looked at Di Yulian and did not let go of every expression of Di Yulian, "Can this marriage be cancelled?"

Di Yulian was silent for a moment: "Yes. The folk girl doesn't want her husband to have other women in his heart. After all, marriage is a lifelong event, and the folk girl will not swallow her anger for the rest of her life. The third young master was unaware of it at first, and the folk girl restrained herself and tried not to blame him."

"Aunt Yun, bring the prepared things." Qi Yue ordered lightly.

Aunt Yun brought a tray.

When you lift the red cloth, there is a pair of jade Ruyi inside.

"Miss Di is so understanding, I am very happy. I give this pair of Ruyi to the girl, hoping that the girl can find Ruyi's husband in the future." Qi Yue paused and said, "What difficulties does Miss Di encounter in the future? As long as I am here, I will definitely help the girl. When I go back this time, I will let the Di family break the engagement for the sake of Miss Di's reputation. I will not let Ding Gong's Mansion make things difficult for you."

With the appreciation of the queen, it is more important than marrying a husband who doesn't love her. After all, Di Yulian has never met Qi Yu and has no feelings for Qi Yu. At best, she fantasized in her heart.

After Di Yulian thanked him, she suddenly remembered something and was a little hesitant.

Qi Yue saw it: "Miss Di, what kind of knots do you have in your heart?"

Di Yulian said: "If the Empress gives the people's daughter no sin, the people's daughter will ask directly."

"I give you no guilt."

"What the Empress said is really not to deceive the common women? The woman is from a humble background and has a vulgar behavior. Isn't the Empress really using these words to persuade the common women to withdraw?" Di Yulian asked boldly.

Qi Yue laughed: "I really look down on you, so I won't talk to you in such a good voice, but I will just take a name for disrespect, destroy your reputation, withdraw your marriage, and make you live without any face. What I said just now is true."

Di Yulian was shocked by Qi Yue's words for a moment.

"Miss Di, your background and behavior cannot cover up your brilliance. You have your shining points and your happiness." Qi Yue's lips curled up a graceful curve and murmured with other words, "I am weak and dare not drink tea in big gulps, and I dare not eat too much snacks. Seeing you use up all the snacks and tea, I am envious and think you are very cute."

Di Yulian's lips trembled.
