Chapter 524 Winter has arrived
Zhonghe Palace
Lin Junxue was playing ball with Tangtang in the yard when Danzhen came in and whispered something in her ear.
Lin Junxue gave the ball in her hand to Guyu next to her, then walked to the chair and sat down.
Qiao Xin served the tea and Lin Junxue took a sip slowly.
Warm autumn sun
Autumn is cool
This mood is also very good
Danzhen said, "Your Majesty, the Queen Mother and the Emperor parted on bad terms this time. The Emperor left with a swipe of his sleeves. After the Queen Mother left, the Emperor got angry and punished the servants who served him. I think he was in a very bad mood."
Lin Junxue raised her cherry-like red lips, smiling.
The sun shines on her beautiful face, making her skin look white as snow and her eyebrows look like paintings.
The breeze gently blows through her soft hair, stirring the heartstrings
She spoke casually
"The An family sent An Qianning in, but in just a short time, she lost the emperor's favor one after another. Last night, she angered the emperor again and was confined to his house for three months. The empress dowager will naturally plead for her niece An Qianning. After all, the An family's reputation still rests with An Qianning. An Qianning's confinement brings shame to the empress dowager and the An family."
Qiao Xin said, "Your Majesty is right. The Queen Mother has always valued her reputation the most. I'm afraid she didn't go to Taiwu Hall to plead with the Emperor for her niece, An Jieyu. But since the Queen Mother had already lost face and went to Taiwu Hall to plead in person, why would she just throw up her sleeves and leave the Emperor unhappily?"
Danzhen smiled
"Aunt Qiaoxin, I think it's because of the Xiangshi Powder. If you use Xiangshi Powder for a long time, you will easily get angry and irritable. You can't control your emotions. If you are not satisfied, you will get angry easily. That's why the Queen Mother is like this."
Qiao Xin nodded
"I see. It seems that after this incident, the little bit of mother-son affection between the emperor and the queen mother will be even less. An Jieyu's every word and action represents the An family. She interferes in state affairs, which makes the emperor unhappy. As for the An family, I'm afraid the emperor will also be unhappy. The An family is not good at educating their daughter."
The corners of Lin Junxue's lips rose slightly, outlining a beautiful arc.
There was a glimmer of light in her eyes, which were as clear and moving as autumn water.
An Qianning's biggest problem was that she still thought Xie Yu would be the same as before, and would always protect the virtuous king no matter what he did.
Pity……
An Qianning could never have guessed that the person who wanted to deal with the virtuous king this time was Xie Yu
She accepted the valuable gifts privately and pleaded for the virtuous king, both of which were stepping on Xie Yu's bottom line and courting death.
Lin Junxue spoke, her voice cold and emotionless.
"At the end of the year, Anshan will return to Beijing. Before that, everything should be settled."
Danzhen steps forward
"Your Majesty, Concubine An has been confined for three months. Do you have any other arrangements?"
Lin Junxue said slowly, "To cut the grass, you must remove the root."
The wind is blowing...
A month passed in a flash. Ever since An Qianning was put under house arrest, no concubine in the harem took the initiative to compete for favor.
Those who were unwilling to fight and knew they could not win, thus the harem fell into a strange harmony.
Since the last time the Queen Mother and Xie Yu parted ways unhappily, Xie Yu has not set foot in Ci'an Palace.
On the day when all the concubines were supposed to pay their respects at Ci'an Palace, the empress dowager issued an edict, saying that she was not feeling well and there was no need to pay her respects.
Others may not know, but Lin Junxue is naturally clear...
The Queen Mother is now obsessed with Xiangshisan and uses it three times a day.
At first, she was radiant, but now her body and face have gradually begun to decline, and her spirit is even more depressed...
Winter has arrived
Kyoto welcomed its first snow since the beginning of winter. The flakes of snow fluttered down from the sky like light feathers.
The whole Kyoto seemed to be covered by a pure white carpet, wrapped in silver and beautiful beyond words.
The ancient buildings appear even more solemn and majestic against the backdrop of white snow.
The red walls and green tiles complement the white snow, forming a beautiful picture.
The trees on both sides of the street were also dressed in white, with thick snow piled on the branches, like blooming pear blossoms.
Each palace has already used charcoal
Zhonghe Palace
Li Shiwen and Zhang Yuyan came to Zhonghe Palace with their two children.
laughter
Li Shiwen smiled and said, "Empress, Sister Yan, look at Ziyi's mischievous temper. I don't know whose temper he inherited. What will happen in the future?"
Zhang Yuyan peeled an orange and handed it to Li Shiwen
"Okay, my sister, I like Ziyi's personality the most. Look at Xiaoer, she rarely cries on weekdays and is very boring."
Lin Junxue picked up a piece of osmanthus cake and put it on Zhang Yuyan's plate.
"You are so ungrateful for what you have. You have a well-behaved child like Fuxiao, but you think she's not noisy enough."
Li Shiwen also said, "Yes, I suspect that Sister Yan is showing off."
Zhang Yuyan raised her hand
"I don't have any conscience."
Danzhen took her wet nurse and two children to the side hall to play.
Li Shiwen took a sip of tea
"Your Majesty, it has been more than a month since Concubine An was confined to her palace. In these days, Concubine An seems to have become much more obedient. Before, when she was in favor, she was very arrogant in her words. Now she is under house arrest and trapped in that small palace all day. I wonder what she feels in her heart? But on the surface, Concubine An is indeed under house arrest in Changchun Palace and has not caused any trouble."
Lin Junxue curled her lips and smiled without saying anything.
An Qianning was under house arrest this time. Even if she didn't understand it at first, she should have figured it out a little bit now.
I already know how big a mistake I have made.
She knew that no matter what means she used, Xie Yu's anger would not subside for a while.
Therefore, An Qianning naturally did not dare to think about how to get rid of her house arrest.
For the past three months, she has been confined...
Zhang Yuyan thought about it.
"The emperor hates concubines interfering in government affairs the most. Concubine An knowingly violated the law this time. The emperor severely punished the virtuous king and confined her to her house for three months. It is not unfair for An Qianning. If it were someone else, the emperor would probably punish her more severely. After all, An Qianning has the emperor's favor and has the queen mother and the An family behind her. Otherwise, this time, she will never be favored again."
Lin Junxue curled her lips
"The Queen Mother's face, An Qianning's father, and An Shan's importance are naturally not insignificant. The Emperor will definitely take them into consideration. But if An Qianning does something stupid again, no one will be able to save her."
Love will run out...
Especially for Xie Yu, favors are worthless.
evening
It snowed again
Xie Yu braved the snow and came to Zhonghe Palace
It was snowing outside, but it was warm as spring inside the palace
Xie Yu roasted a fire
"Jun'er, Xuanyuan Country has offered a lot of new things as tribute these days. Tomorrow, I will ask Gao Cheng to send them over. Take a look. Do you like them?"
Lin Junxue smiled and served tea herself.
"Of course I like everything that the Emperor gives me. Everything in my palace is given by the Emperor. I am so spoiled by his favor. What should I do?"
