The Queen of Xuanyi

Chapter 38 The Empress's Mind

She turned around and looked at the ten gates, then at the main hall, and asked the teacher beside her, "Excuse me, teacher, are there any other entrances and exits to this main hall?"

The teacher's eyes fell on the red hair ball coiled around her neck. Why was she wearing a fox fur scarf on a hot day?Isn't it hot?This princess is really weird!

He was too focused on watching, so when Zhan Yunge asked him something, he instinctively replied, "No."

"Thank you teacher, I'm relieved." Zhan Yunge smiled slightly, thanked him, and turned to leave.

The teacher looked at her back in a daze, are you relieved?What is she worried about?Looking suspiciously at the other teachers, one of them said, "Cao Yuxiao."

The few people immediately understood what Zhan Yunge said during the written test was very clear. At that time, she said that she is a good student who obeys the rules and regulations. The price of the princess.

It seems that she is really not joking about this sentence.

But they heard that more than a dozen guards from the Cao family came, and Cao Yihan personally led the guards to stand outside the gate of the Royal Academy. They knew at a glance that they were here to protect Cao Yuxiao. Zhan Yunge could succeed alone. ?
Now that I've come to Kyoto, I've met the Empress Dowager's natal family. Does she really not want to be the Crown Princess?
Although the fact that Princess Jingya went to the Zhanfu last night cannot be concealed, no one knows what her purpose of going to the Zhanfu is, but everyone knows that it must be related to the title of Princess Concubine on her head.

There was interest in the eyes of several people, wondering who would win or lose in the first confrontation?There is excitement to watch, of course not to be missed.

One of them walked to the door and saw that Zhan Yunge had not left, but easily jumped onto a tree more than ten meters high beside the main hall, and lay down on it leisurely.The blue skirt danced with the wind, and the red "fox fur scarf" was already hugged in her arms, and she seemed to be asleep with her eyes closed.

The corner of his mouth twitched, and he stepped back. Seeing his expression, several people were also very curious, and asked him what was going on with their eyes.

He pointed to the top, "She was sleeping on the tree."

Sure enough, after a few people were stunned for a moment, Qi Qi twitched the corner of his mouth, then coughed lightly, turned around and looked at the ten doors intently, the end time was getting closer, and some students would come out later, although they finally passed There are only more than 800 people who entered the ten gates in the written test, but the number of people who are responsible for each of them is still quite a lot.

The people sent by Cao Yingsheng went to inform him as soon as they got the news. When he learned that Zhan Yunge had come out, and it was No. 1 in the strength test, he felt that his decision was right.

After a while, someone came back and reported that Zhan Yunge had not left the Royal Academy, but was sleeping on a tree outside the main hall.

His eyes shrank, she was really crazy, and she didn't hide her purpose at all, "She won't do anything in the academy, so she immediately sent someone to protect Yu Xiao secretly, and those guards who went to pick him up couldn't do it, so they took action immediately."

He absolutely couldn't let Cao Yuxiao be humiliated by Zhan Yunge in public at the gate of the Royal Academy in the name of punishment. The Cao family couldn't afford to lose this person.

At the same time, swords were tense in the palace. After Nangong Xuan finished talking with Zhan Yunshu, Zhan Yunshu left the capital, and Nangong Xuan returned to the palace.What Zhan Yunshu was talking to him about were some secrets about their siblings' ancestral family, and after learning the result, he knew that the most urgent thing now was to improve Zhan Yunge's strength.

As soon as he stepped into the palace gate, all the palaces received news, especially the queen mother. Thinking that Nangong Xuan went to Zhanfu last night and did not come back, Jingya said that Zhan Yunge didn't give Nangongxuan a good look at all, but Nangongxuan kept a low voice. Coaxing her, her heart froze when she thought of this, why should a waste dominate the heart of such an excellent grandson like her.

Thinking that Nangong Xuan actually lived in the Zhan Mansion and didn't come back until now, this is a slap in the face of her.Although the grandson also grew up in Zhan's family before, but this time is different, which represents his attitude, he wants to spoil Zhan Yunge to heaven!

As soon as she heard that Nangong Xuan was back, she thought that because her grandson cared about Zhan Yunge, he would definitely come to ask Zhan Yunge for an explanation like before, but she waited and waited and saw no one.

The queen mother's face was gloomy, she understood her own grandson, if he still asks you for an explanation, it means that he still cares about your thoughts, and if he keeps silent like this, it means that he really doesn't care.

She has never experienced anything in her life, she was able to protect her son to the end in the battle with many concubines and princes, not only because of the late emperor's love for her, but because of her own wrist.It is impossible to make her admit defeat in this way. In the future, Nangongxuan's queen must be the daughter of the Cao family.When the son got married, the Cao family didn't have a suitable daughter to enter the palace, but now it's different, Yihan is not only suitable for age, but also suitable for appearance, cultivation and family background.

"Where did the prince go back to the palace? What did you do?" She finally asked.

The nanny next to her immediately went out to ask someone to inquire. After a while, the inquirer came back. When the nanny heard this, she raised her eyebrows and waved her hand to let people go down. She went in to report.

"Empress Dowager, His Royal Highness the Crown Prince didn't go anywhere, and went directly back to the Qinglong Palace. Now he is asking people to repair the Qinglong Palace. His Royal Highness is personally explaining how to repair each place. I heard that they are all repaired according to the preferences of the Crown Princess. It seems that It’s going to be a big change.” Mammy said as she looked at the Empress Dowager’s expression, and sure enough, the Empress Dowager’s expression became even more gloomy.

"Zhan Yunge went to participate in the assessment of the Royal Academy?" The Queen Mother was silent for a while, then took a deep breath and said coldly.

"It's been rumored outside, it seems that His Royal Highness signed her up when he left the capital to pick her up." Mammy replied cautiously.

"Send someone to call Yihan." The queen mother closed her eyes and ordered.

"Yes." Mammy immediately went out and ordered a maid who was guarding outside to invite Cao Yihan.

Nangong Hongyuan, the emperor of the Shengyu Empire, was handling the government affairs, but without delay he knew the news about his son, and when he heard that he was starting to repair the Qinglong Palace, he was expressionless, and the queen Gu Liangyue came a moment later.

Because the queen cannot enter the place where the emperor handles the affairs of state, she can only wait in the warm pavilion on the west side where the emperor usually reads. Seeing the queen standing in front of the window of the Nuan Pavilion, her eyes were staring outside.

"Liangyue." Nangong Hongyuan called softly, his eyes fell softly on the person in front of the window, how long has she been here?
Upon hearing his voice, Gu Liangyue turned around and saluted, "Your Majesty."

Nangong Hongyuan's eyes flickered with disappointment, lowered his eyes, and walked up to her, "Are you worried about Xuan'er again?"

Gu Liangyue sighed, "Xuan'er is a worry-free child. He didn't let us worry about it since he was a child. It's just that he is so stubborn when it comes to the princess. I really regret that I took him to Qingnan Mountain with you back then. .”

Nangong Hongyuan took her hand and sat down on the side couch, "This is fate."

Gu Liangyue's eyes paused, and she murmured, "Is it fate?"

Nangong Hongyuan's heart twitched, and he hurriedly said, "That kid Yunge went to the Royal Academy to take the assessment today, Liangyue knows?"

Gu Liangyue came back to her senses, with a sad expression on her face, "Xuan'er is too used to her, is the Royal Academy a place for her to play?"

Nangong Hongyuan smiled, "Liangyue, even the Royal Academy's imperial decree doesn't work, Xuan'er or the crown prince can let Ren Yunge of the Royal Academy play tricks?"

Gu Liangyue was stunned, "Your Majesty is saying that Yun Ge's child is already a spiritual practitioner?"

Nangong Hongyuan nodded, "The news just came back, that girl, No.1 in the written test and No.1 in the strength test."

"How is it possible?" Gu Liangyue looked at Nangong Hongyuan in shock.

"The written test was not only No.1, but also got full marks. It only took a quarter of an hour, which was shorter than the time Xuan'er took." Nangong Hongyuan said again.

Gu Liangyue was stunned for a long time. Every March, she would go to Qingnan Mountain with Nangong Hongyuan. At that time, she didn't seem to have awakened her soul yet.

"When we went to the Zhan family this year, Yun Ge wasn't a spiritual practitioner, was she? It's only been four months, and she has become a spiritual practitioner? The Zhan family is indeed a magical family."

Nangong Hongyuan did not answer her words. No one can guess the truth of this matter.

"What does your majesty think about the fact that the empress mother asked Jingya to go to the Zhanfu last night?" Gu Liangyue asked again.

Nangong Hongyuan sighed, "The Zhan family only had one daughter in a thousand years, and they have been pampered for so many years. Yun Ge's temperament is too domineering and casual. In contrast, Cao Yihan is indeed not suitable. Huge, deeply rooted and luxuriant, if Cao Yihan can become Xuan'er's concubine, with Xuan'er's ability, she can contain the Cao family. But Xuan'er just doesn't like her. She has liked Yun Ge since she was a child. I also feel that giving her the position of side concubine is the best of both worlds, but it just makes you lose your relationship with Yun Geniang and makes you feel wronged."

"For so many years, have I suffered less grievances? This one is not bad. In my heart, Xuan'er is the only one. Even if Yun Ge is the daughter of my only close friend, I can't compare with Xuan'er." Gu Liangyue's eyes As soon as the light sank, a touch of desolation flashed across.

Nangong Hongyuan's heart ached. Is her heart so cold?
After a moment of silence, he continued, "So I knew that my mother's behavior was a bit unreasonable, but I didn't stop her, but I didn't expect that girl to be so domineering without the support of her elders."

"Didn't the emperor give an order last night to let Yun Ge come into the palace today?" Gu Liangyue calmed down and continued to ask.

"Well, I didn't say what time it is."

"The emperor did it on purpose?" Gu Liangyue looked at him with cool eyes.

Even though I think it's inappropriate for Zhan Yunge to be Xuan'er's concubine, I don't like people bullying her, after all, she is Xinlan's treasure.If you put aside the matter between her and Xuan'er, she still likes that girl. To be precise, she should be envious of her, envious of her being able to live as she pleases, and having a family and Xuan'er who dotes on her so much, this is no woman. Things that I dare not expect.
