It’s hard to break a phoenix’s destiny

Chapter 423 Don’t ask for your sister’s help

The Luoyang Palace could no longer stay, so Yang Xianrong ignored the rain and ordered Zhang Liangzhao to prepare to return to Jinyong City immediately.

Yang Xiankang, who lived outside, heard the sound and hurried over to help. Yang Xianrong took this opportunity to whisper this matter to him in a low voice, which made Yang Xiankang so angry that he wanted to go to Sima Chi to scold him.

However, they always listened to Qiangen. Even if they ran over to make a fuss, it would be meaningless. It would be better to leave quickly as the most correct choice.

When Zhang Liangzhao wanted to drive the chariot to the gate of Tianyuan Palace, he encountered Sima Yue's red-coated army with spears. The general at the head said that the city was flooded and temporarily sealed off various places to make way for the convoy transporting supplies.

Therefore, they cannot leave the palace now and must wait.

It rained heavily again, and there was water in the palace again.

Yang Xianrong was so irritable that he even stood in the heavy rain and stared at the gate of Tianyuan Palace. He didn't move, but various thoughts were spinning in his mind.

Cuixi and Lanxiang stood beside her with oil-paper umbrellas and whispered advice.

For a moment, she was thinking, could it be that Sima Yue knew that Zhang Du was pretending to be a ghost? So, you don’t want her to leave the palace?
But she soon rejected this answer.

After all, only Sima Yan, Sima Zhong, and Zhang Du knew about those secret passages. The other members of the Sima family had taken their positions and did not know these secrets in the palace. But if she takes people out of the secret passage at this time, firstly, it will expose the secret passage, and secondly, it will mean a complete break between her and Sima Yue and Sima Chi. This is the next step for Yang Xianrong, who has no military power at all. Last resort.

So, is it really just a temporary road closure?

Of course, because of Concubine Pei's promise, there should be no need to touch her for a while.

Then, Luoyang Palace is not a place to stay for a long time.

By noon, the rain slowed down a bit.

Someone knocked lightly on the door of Tianyuan Palace.

Zhang Liang was a little nervous and turned to look at Yang Xianrong.

Yang Xianrong also hesitated for a moment before indicating to Zhang Liang that he could open the door.

Outside the door was Liang Lanbi.

She just brought two maids with her and stood there holding an umbrella.

"A gift to the queen." Zhang Liangxue immediately saluted, bowed and said: "It's raining so heavily, what are you doing?"

"I just want to invite Queen Hui to have lunch." Liang Lanbi said with a smile on her face, "The emperor drank a bowl of chicken soup and thought it was very delicious. I would like to invite Queen Hui to come and have the soup with me. I don't think I have been here yet. Tianyuan Palace took a look and just came over to invite Queen Hui, which doesn’t seem sincere.”

"It's just a bowl of chicken soup. If you come, wouldn't it be too precious?" Yang Xianrong smiled softly and then said, "I'm just about to go out to Xianyang Palace to check the leakage situation. How about Queen, come with me first, and then we can have chicken soup?”

"That's good too." Liang Lanbi's smile deepened, "I'm afraid the emperor will be anxious waiting."

"Probably not, I just went to have a look." Yang Xianrong took the umbrella from Cui Xi and took two steps to the gate.

Speaking of strange, the moment Yang Xianrong walked out, the heavy rain suddenly stopped.

Although there was still rainwater flowing on the eaves and walls, there were no more raindrops in the sky. Liang Lanbi was stunned for a moment, then raised his eyes to the sky. Those thick clouds seemed to be about to disperse at this moment.

"Queen Hui is indeed a noble lady. The rain stopped when we went out. In fact, the fire on the century-old tree that day... just stopped. I was really shocked." Liang Lanbi's eyes were full of love. Looking at her, she even wanted to pull Yang Xianrong's sleeve.

But Cui Xi suddenly walked between the two of them and whispered: "My slave is standing behind you. If it rains again, I can hold an umbrella for you."

Yang Xianrong looked back at her and said with a smile: "It's true, the rain has stopped. If it rains again, won't I lose my life?"

"I didn't mean that. I'm wrong." Cui Xi didn't care whether there was water on the ground or not. She immediately knelt down and stood between the two of them. Liang Lanbi retracted her hand that she was about to extend.

"Okay, it's just casual talk." Yang Xianrong glanced at Liang Lanbi, "That's it for now. These are just coincidences. Wouldn't it be better if I could really know some magic?"

Cuixi lowered her head and said nothing, and Lanxiang also knelt down.

Liang Lanbi laughed repeatedly, "Queen Hui is young and loves to joke."

"Back then, when I got married, Mr. Xu said that I was destined to be rich and noble. Now, I'm afraid that even a bowl of chicken soup will be stained by the Queen." Yang Xianrong's words were a bit temperamental. , causing Liang Lanbi to laugh again.

"Okay, okay, the food in the palace is a little nervous now. It is said that the prince has blocked all the roads everywhere. The emperor has no more japonica rice soup to eat every day. He is also very upset."

"I've heard about this. I originally wanted to go back to Jinyong City soon, so I wouldn't waste food here." Yang Xianrong is much smaller than Liang Lanbi, and she is pretty and has a slumped face. It's not annoying at all, but it's also kind of cute.

Liang Lanbi said affectionately: "Why is it a waste of food? The emperor has it, and Queen Hui must have it too. I won't lose to you. Just stay for two more days, and we can talk. . All in all, I am ten years older than you, so to speak, I am also an older sister..."

After Liang Lanbi finished speaking, Yang Xianrong immediately said: "Queen, please don't say that. The Luoyang Palace does not tolerate the title of sister or sister. The late emperor did not allow it. He said that age is just a number, and the key is seniority and identity. ...You see, the late emperor and Sima Yue are about the same age, but they are related as grandfather and grandson, so how should we discuss this? "

"That's right..." There was a little anger in Liang Lanbi's eyes, but it was quickly covered up by her smiling eyes.

Yang Xianrong also looked at her with a smile. Who doesn't know that sister and sister are just names between wives and concubines. She is not qualified to talk about this with herself.

"We don't want to stop here." Yang Xianrong glanced at Cui Xi, "Get up and just follow."

"Yes." Cuixi and Lanxiang both stood up. Lan Xiang whispered again, "It's cold. Please bring another coat for Queen Hui."

"Go." Yang Xianrong nodded, "Don't take it by mistake. Just bring over the plain black cotton robe that I had when I was a boudoir."

"Yes." Lan Xiang bowed and retreated.

Liang Lanbi couldn't help but say, "Queen Hui...are these clothes not enough? You can ask the weaving house to make some new clothes."

"No, it's so troublesome." Yang Xianrong smiled and touched the black bun without any hair accessories. "I am still in mourning period for Emperor Xiaohui. How can I wear new clothes and hair accessories? I Yeah, it’s just as simple as that.”

As soon as these words came out, Liang Lanbi's expression changed, because today she especially wore a head full of pearl hairpins when going out, thinking that she wanted to show her jeweled appearance in front of Yang Xianrong, and her nobility was overwhelming. However, she did ignore this point. Even if she was a new emperor, she should mourn for Emperor Xiaohui.

Their positions were all vacated by Sima Zhong and Yang Xianrong.

Therefore, if Yang Xianrong caused trouble at this time, she would have no choice.

Therefore, Liang Lanbi immediately knelt down on the water-filled bluestone road.
