63. Chapter 63 Needle Point Against Wheat Mill
Concubine Liu smiled and said, "What do you think of Xi'er, letting Ruyue's child enter the palace? The emperor is busy with political affairs, and Xi'er, as the queen, should add concubines to the harem!"
Here you are! You knew something was waiting for you, and it was true!
When Xi Yan heard what she said, she knew that the highlight of the day had finally arrived, but she was not interested in accompanying her in the performance. However, she was under the eaves, so she had to lower her head and look at her curiously and said, "What do you mean, Princess?"
You have always been in charge of Yin. How dare Xi'er choose concubines for the emperor without permission? Besides, the draft will be held in three days. At that time, the emperor will personally select some of his favorites. Is the concubine worried? Miss Ruyue is so outstanding. I want to
She will definitely be valued by the emperor and approach the palace, the concubine is too worried."
Concubine Liu looked at Xi Yan smiling at her after she finished speaking, and felt cold in her heart. Just seeing her praising Liu Ruyue so much, she thought she was going to withdraw the edict, so she sent Liu Ruyue away on the pretext of adding more concubines to the palace.
Ru Yue proposed it in order to get her permission to let Ru Yue enter the palace. Unexpectedly, Xi Yan actually pushed the matter to the emperor again. If the decree was not withdrawn, the emperor would not allow Liu Ru Yue to enter the palace even if he was interested in her. He lowered his head and thought about it.
After a while, when he raised his head again, his face was full of ridicule, "The Queen, are you joking to tease me? Without your permission, does the Emperor dare to bring Ruyue into the palace?"
After listening to what she said, Xiyan lowered her head, and the curve of the corners of her mouth widened. To others, she looked like she was thinking. After a while, she stood up and looked down at the concubine.
"What does this mean, concubine? Are you saying that this little Princess Jinxi of this palace dares to overwhelm the emperor? Are you saying that a queen of this palace actually deceives you and refuses to accept your concubine? Or is it that this palace does not take the emperor seriously? What is your intention?
rebellion?"
"Aijia..." Concubine Liu was a little panicked when she saw her aggressive look.
Without waiting for her next explanation, Xiyan continued to question, "How brave is the concubine? A few days ago, the concubine hosted a banquet to invite me, and she accused Xi'er of conspiring with Eunuch Li to murder the emperor in front of the emperor.
The emperor is not here today, but the concubine still wants to slander Xi'er and intends to rebel? After a few days, should the concubine say that I am seducing the harem and confusing the palace?"
"The Ai family didn't mean this. The Ai family just heard that the queen used the imperial edict given by the late emperor to order that Ru Yue should not enter the palace as the empress. The emperor always respected the late emperor, so how could he disobey the edict? With such an imperial edict, Yue'er
How can I enter the palace?" Concubine Liu saw that Xi Yan finally stopped questioning and just glared at herself, so she quickly explained her original intention, but she didn't expect that Xi Yan had dug a hole and was waiting for her to jump!
Sure enough, after listening to her explanation, Xi Yan was sarcastic but also confused. It seemed that Concubine Liu didn't have much ability or ambition, but she didn't know why she insisted on letting Liu Ruyue enter the palace?
Her eyes became colder and colder, and she stared at her closely, gritting her teeth, "Does the concubine want me to disobey the decree and bring Liu Ruyue into the palace? The concubine also knows that the imperial decree cannot be violated. Since the decree has been written on the cloth, so what?
You can change it at will. Is the concubine asking me to openly disobey the emperor's order and put Xi'er's life at risk?"
"Aijia..."
"What? What other explanation does the concubine have? I didn't expect that the usually kind Concubine Liu would be so cruel. Jinxi has really seen what it means to know people, know faces but not know the heart! Thank you, Concubine, for your hospitality.
