Yusui Chang'an

The next day, Zhou Yuexue woke up from her sweet dream and felt even better when she saw the whole table full of food.

Shun'er filled the blood swallow with a smile and placed it in front of Zhou Yuexue:

"This is what His Highness Prince Jin brought yesterday. It is the most nourishing. Please try it, Princess."

Zhou Yuexue rolled her eyes angrily at Shun'er:

"A talkative girl is just a concubine, how can she be called a princess?"

Shuner said happily:

"I have heard that your Majesty and the Queen intend to make you the concubine at the birthday banquet. You are very likely to become the concubine, so I will be the concubine's bride. Where can I go? , will be looked down upon by others, which makes me happy just thinking about it.”

Zhou Yuexue was moved after hearing this. She ate the blood swallow and carefully weighed the pros and cons in her heart:

If she became the main concubine, the Gu and Lin family would never let Lin Jinyan become the concubine, but Chu Chengyao would lose his support.

If she were to be a concubine now, her status would be even higher when her assistant Chu Chengyao ascended to the big position. However, things are fickle, and she couldn't guarantee that Chu Chengyao would definitely ascend to that position...

Before Zhou Yuexue could think clearly, the queen sent someone to drive a carriage to take Zhou Yuexue into the palace.

Shun'er said excitedly: "Princess, you can enter the palace now, but the Queen sent someone to pick you up. How honorable is this?"

Zhou Yuexue suppressed the raised corners of her mouth:

"What's the point? After becoming a member of the royal family, there will be many opportunities to enter the palace in the future. Go find my best clothes and hair, and dress me up."

Shun'er responded with a crisp voice, and while dressing up, she spoke of a princess, which made Zhou Yuexue's heart flutter.

Fengqi Palace.

Chu Chengyao, the Queen and the Prince, although both parties wished that the other would die immediately, they still did their best on the surface. Whenever Chu Chengyao came to the palace to ask for greetings, he would never skip Fengqi Palace. Even if the queen was too lazy to see him and found an excuse to send her greetings, he would respectfully agree and continue to greet her as usual next time. The queen was secretly angry, but she couldn't catch him at all.

This morning, after Chu Chengyao went to the Queen Mother's Longevity Palace as usual, he came to Fengqi Palace. He had a lot of things waiting for him to deal with, and he was ready to be dismissed by the Queen. He thought of going through the formalities before getting down to business.

Unexpectedly, the queen went out of her way and sent someone to welcome him in affectionately, pulling him in to chat as if she were her own mother.

When Chu Chengyao saw this, alarm bells rang in his heart. If something went wrong, there must be a monster, and the queen must be plotting against him. He immediately found a reason to leave, but was held back by the queen.

The queen urged Chu Chengyao to drink tea with a smile. Chu Chengyao only dared to moisten his lips with the tea cup, but did not dare to take his mouth.

When the palace maid approached with snacks, Chu Chengyao was just thinking about finding a reason to leave, but the queen took the initiative and said she was busy.

Until he left Fengqi Palace, Chu Chengyao still did not let go of his vigilance. For fear of falling into the queen's trap, he sent someone to send a message to Concubine Rou. He did not even go to Cuiwei Palace and hurried out of the palace.

The queen looked at Chu Chengyao's cup of tea that she had never drunk before and sneered:

"He is very defensive, but I am not stupid. How could I poison him in my own palace?"

After leaving the palace and getting on the carriage, Chu Chengyao's anxious heart calmed down a little. Before the carriage moved, Song Yi got in:

"Your Highness, Miss Zhou was admitted to the palace by the Queen. Didn't you see it?"

"What? When?"

Song Yi: "I have been in the palace for a while. I heard the news and was afraid that the queen would do something bad to Miss Zhou, so I followed her secretly, but I couldn't get in."
