Chapter 83
"This is a matter between our husband and wife, I'm afraid it's inconvenient to tell others?" Ye Anran was helpless, and only perfunctory.

"Hehe, is that so? I think the concubine is avoiding this topic, right? Well, who doesn't know that King Rui'an doesn't like beautiful women, so the concubine is really unlucky and has to stay alone in the empty room. What a pity this one You have such a beautiful face." The lady seemed to want to stick to this topic, deliberately embarrassing Ye Anran.

At this time, the queen smiled: "Don't talk about Madam Zhao, Princess Rui'an is already pitiful enough, besides, these are beyond her control, after all, the marriage was bestowed by the emperor, Princess Rui'an, those words just now Don't take it to heart, Mrs. Zhao is also talking without meaning."

Looking at the queen's smile, Ye Anran suddenly felt that the smile was extremely hypocritical, dare the queen and Mrs. Zhao are one singing bad faces and the other singing red faces, what are they trying to warn him?
But...is it really necessary?
"Yes, I would like to obey my mother's instruction." Ye Anran did not refute, but felt that where there are many women, there will be more right and wrong, and these so-called noble ladies in the capital have long looked down on her, a woman from a commoner background, so it is normal to deliberately make things difficult of.

"It's okay, everyone continue to eat." The queen greeted everyone with a calm smile.

But Ye Anran couldn't sit still any longer, so she stood up and said goodbye: "Empress, my wife has been out for a long time, and the prince has been out of the mansion for a few days, and there are still some trivial matters to be dealt with in the mansion, so I will stay soon, and I will leave first."

Holding the glass of wine, the queen glanced at Ye Anran calmly and then nodded: "Okay, since Princess Rui'an still has something to do, it's inconvenient for me to stay longer, let's go."

Ye Anran bowed, got up and left, and walked out of the gate of Jiuhua Palace. She was finally relieved, and just wanted to go back home, but she didn't expect to meet an acquaintance.

It's a bit of a stretch to say they are acquaintances, because they don't count, but it's not appropriate to say they are strangers, because they have met.

"Princess Yue, what a coincidence?" Seeing Nishinomiya Yue in black tulle, Ye Anran said hello first.

"Why, come so early to celebrate the queen's birthday?" Xi Gongyue seemed to be not very friendly.

Ye Anran smiled a bit reluctantly, but still nodded: "Well, the prince has gone south recently, so there are still many things in the palace, so I can only come here earlier, and I have no chance to attend the dinner."

"Heh, there's no need for you to try so hard to please the queen. No matter what you do, she won't like you, will she?" Xigong Yuebai gave Ye Anran a contemptuous look and said.

"Princess Yue, I don't understand what you're talking about?" Ye Anran didn't expect that Xi Gongyue would say something so ugly, so she also showed a trace of displeasure on her face.

Xi Gongyue sneered: "Everyone is smart, why bother to pretend to be confused, the empress used to be an old lover with Xi Gongjue, even if she is the empress now, there is still more love left, so no matter how you please her, she will definitely not We'll see, why do you ask for trouble? Don't you women of commoner background like to curry favor with others so much? It may be important for you to cling to the powerful, but you also have to be optimistic about who you are targeting? Otherwise, wouldn't it be a waste of effort? ?”

What Xi Gongyue said was not polite at all, Ye Anran could hear the number of them even if she was confused, but she didn't expect her to speak so blatantly. You must know that the love affair between Queen Shen Bilan and Xi Gongjue is the one in the palace. The taboo is not allowed to be mentioned, especially on the side of Queen Mother He. If someone is caught saying this, I am afraid they will not let it go easily.

But perhaps because of her status as a princess, Nishi Gongyue dared to speak nonsense?But does she mean anything?

"Princess Yue, you should pay attention to your words when you are a majestic princess of a country, so as not to be overheard and spread to the Queen Mother's ears. If there is nothing else, I will leave first." Seeing Xi Gongyue doesn't want to see her so much, Ye Anran doesn't want to take the initiative to look at other people's faces, she just wants to leave the palace as soon as possible.

Unexpectedly, Xi Gongyue seemed a little annoyed, grabbed Ye Anran's arm and stared at her eyes and said: "Ye Anran, do you think you are great because of your beauty? Let me tell you, you will suffer in the future, do you think Xi Gongjue will Do you like you? Just a joke, you are just like your sister, you think you are a bit beautiful and you don’t know how to be tall, let me tell you, the palace is not as simple as you think?"

"Princess Yue, if you don't like me, just say me. As for my sister, you are not qualified to comment." Ye Anran was already annoyed by Nishi Gongyue's words.

She is good at everything, and it doesn't matter if she bullies herself, but she just can't allow anyone to talk about her sister.

"So what? You girls from the Ye family are known as the two beauties in the south of the Yangtze River, but you are still buried in Bianjing. In the harem, your sister's favor is not as good as Concubine Ning, and in the palace, your favor is not as good as those few. A servant who waits in bed, do you think that our Nishinomiya Imperial Palace is a stage for you to show off your beauty? Huh, that's wrong, this place...is just the beginning of a nightmare." Nishinomiya Yue seemed to be warning her something, with complicated expressions in her eyes .

"Thank you, Princess Yue, for your reminder. I know exactly what I'm doing, but you, the princess, I want to remind you. If you still remember that you are from the Imperial Family of the West Palace, then next time you see me, remember to call me sister-in-law. By the way, and , my sister is also your sister-in-law." After speaking, Ye Anran smiled confidently, obviously wanting to get angry with Nishi Gongyue.

Sure enough, after hearing these words, Nishi Gongyue's face was extremely ugly, she was about to say something, but she heard footsteps around her, raised her eyes, her pupils shrank, and found that it was him who came.

A bright yellow dragon robe floated over, before Ye Anran could see clearly the appearance of this person, he had already knelt down and said, "My wife greets the emperor."

"Brother Wan'an." Xi Gongyue also bent down obediently and saluted.

Different from other princes, Xi Gongyue is called the emperor's elder brother, while other princes all call him the emperor. Ye Anran guessed that it might be because the emperor only has this younger sister, so she is more fond of her.

After the emperor saw the two of them, he smiled slightly: "Get up, why are you all here? Are you here to celebrate the queen's birthday?"

Ye Anran nodded: "Go back to the emperor, the minister's wife has celebrated her birthday and is preparing to return to the palace."

At this time, Xi Gongyue also answered: "Brother Huang, before Yue'er had time to go in, she met at the door... met the second sister-in-law, so we started chatting."

Hearing what Xi Gongyue said, Ye Anran really wanted to laugh, she couldn't help but admire Xi Gongyue's acting skills, just now she looked like she wanted to eat herself, but now she obediently calls her Second Sister-in-law in front of the emperor.

That's right, since everyone else's princess said so, wouldn't he be able to tear things down?So Ye Anran also nodded and agreed: "Yeah, I didn't expect to meet Yue'er when I went out, so I chatted for a while."

The emperor glanced at Xi Gongyue, with a look of love in his eyes, and then said with a smile: "Really? It's not easy for Yue'er to be able to chat with you. In the future, Princess Rui'an will come to the palace to see more Yue'er, move around, Yue'er won't be so lonely anymore."

"Yes, my wife obeys." Ye Anran responded superficially, but in fact, she had already planned in her heart that if she was to accompany Xi Gongyue, why would she not come?That Xi Gongyue was as cold as ice, she didn't have such a good temper to come and accompany a piece of ice.

But the emperor's order cannot be refused, so Ye Anran obediently agreed.

"Since I have caught up, why don't we go in and sit down together?" Obviously, the emperor seemed to want to stay with Ye Anran for a while.

But Ye Anran has already made up her mind to go, so why would she stay longer, so she shook her head boldly: "No need, the emperor's kindness, my wife understands, there is still something to do in the palace, my wife will leave first."

After speaking, Ye Anran got up and left slowly...

Xi Gongyue actually raised the corners of her mouth, and the thousand-year-old ice face disappeared completely, and there was only a soft smile on her face: "Brother Huang, let's go in together."

"Well, let's go." The emperor pampered Nishi Gongyue's hair, and then the two walked into the gate of Jiuhua Palace together.

in a few days

The flood in the south was stable, and Xi Gongjue rushed back to Bianjing non-stop. It was already afternoon when he arrived in Bianjing. Instead of going back to the palace directly, he quickly attacked Miansheng, explained the disaster in the south, and talked with the emperor in the imperial study for a long time before coming out.

But he didn't expect to run into Queen Shen Bilan who came to deliver cakes to the emperor as soon as he went out.

"My minister pays respects to the Empress." Xi Gongjue bowed and saluted, his tone was colder than ever.

"Jue, you're back?" Shen Bilan had a look of surprise on his face.

"En." Xi Gongjue didn't show any abnormality at all, it was just like a routine report.

"Has the flood in the south stabilized this time? Is the loss of the people serious?" Shen Bilan asked softly.

"The empress is blessed, everything is fine." Xi Gongjue seemed unwilling to say a word.

"It's good to be safe, but it's a pity...you missed my birthday this time." For some reason, Shen Bilan couldn't use the word "Bengong" in front of Xi Gongjue, and seemed to have no confidence.

"I am deeply sorry for not being able to attend the empress's birthday. I will make up for the birthday gift later. Please forgive me." Xi Gongjue's words permeated Shen Bilan's heart, although since becoming empress , I already like the indifferent attitude of Jue Nishinomiya, but every time I listen to it, I still feel that my heart hurts.

"No need, didn't the lord already entrust the wangfei to send a birthday gift? That pair of pearl earrings, I... I like it very much, the lord has troubled me." After saying this, Queen Shen Bilan couldn't help but shed tears , Then turned and left with his mouth covered, he didn't even send the pastry to the emperor.

Seeing Shen Bilan weeping, Nishigongjue was still a little sad, but... she just said that the concubine had given away the birthday gift?What does it mean?Could it be that the woman made a private decision while she was not in the palace, and even gave her earrings?

If it was anything else, Nishinomiya might not be so angry, but it was earrings?Ye Anran may not know how important that pair of earrings was to Xi Gongjue and Shen Bilan.

So this time... She really got into trouble again.

Xi Gongjue returned to the palace, angrily went straight to Chunxiao Pavilion, and before he could enter, he cursed angrily: "Ye Anran, get out of here, my lord."
