Crazy Queen, Striving to Become the Most Beautiful Lady in the Harem

Chapter 308: The Special Favour

Lin Junxue watched Chen Mi get on Xie Yu's carriage in front of her, and then she also got on her own phoenix carriage. The curtains were slowly lowered, and then the team set off.

carriage

Chen Mi personally brewed tea for Xie Yu and served it to him. Xie Yu took a sip and said, "Not bad."

The rest didn't say much, just kept their heads down and read.

Chen Mi smiled gently and sat aside without disturbing him.

After a while, Xie Yu put down the book in his hand, turned to look at Chen Mi, and said in a deep voice.

"Mi'er, I remember when I was a child, every time you and Duke Chen came to the palace, you followed me quietly. It's been so many years."

Chen Mi smiled faintly when she saw Xie Yu thinking about the past.

"Your Majesty, do you still remember the past? Since I entered the palace and became your concubine, I dare not think about the past."

Xie Yu paused, as if puzzled, and asked in a deep voice, "Mi'er, why is this?"

A trace of bitterness flashed in Chen Mi's eyes

"Your Majesty, before, you were Mi'er's second brother. Now, you are the emperor and Mi'er is a concubine. Your status is different now."

Chen Mi's nostalgic tone stirred some ripples in Xie Yu's heart.

He looked at the gentle and generous Chen Mi in front of him, took her hand, and his eyes were slightly deep.

"I ignored you before, Mi'er. In this harem, the relationship between you and me is different. From now on, you don't have to be so restrained in front of me. Just like when we were children, I will always be your second brother."

Chen Mi's face suddenly showed some surprise, and she took the initiative to lean on Xie Yu's arms.

"Your Majesty, I am already very satisfied to be your concubine."

Xie Yu thought about it, but in the end, he did not reach out to embrace Chen Mi.

He lowered his head, looking at Chen Mi who was leaning in his arms, his eyes deep, and couldn't help but think of Lin Junxue.

Jun'er has been spoiled by me. Yesterday, she even dared to behave like that with me.

She should be cold to Jun'er and let her know that she is not indispensable to him.

Chen Mi felt Xie Yu's absent-mindedness and there was bitterness in his eyes.

She was clearly leaning in the emperor's arms, and the emperor said that his feelings for her were different, but his heart was not with her at all.

Today's action was just to vent his anger on the Empress. The Emperor wanted to use her to provoke the Empress.

But she knew it, but what could she do even if she knew it?

Since last night, she has no way out.

the other side

Dan Zhen said, "My queen, this is the lotus cake that the kitchen prepared this morning. Would you like to try it and see if it tastes good?"

Lin Junxue picked up a piece of lotus cake and put it in her mouth, nodding slightly.

"tasty"

Beside them, Guyu and Qiaoxin smiled. This time when they went south, Lin Junxue brought all three of them with her.

Lin Junxue felt relieved that Xiao Cheng was taking care of her in the palace.

Qiao Xin said, "Your Majesty, today's incident, the Emperor wanted to use the secret concubine to force you to submit, so he issued this decree in public. Your Majesty, do you have a plan for this?"

Lin Junxue raised her eyes slightly, curled her lips coolly, and her brows were calm.

"The Emperor wanted to embarrass me in public. He was just angry about my attitude yesterday. I was used to being obedient and well-behaved, and the Emperor thought that I could let him vent his dissatisfaction and anger at will. If I had not made my attitude clear last night, the Emperor would have gotten used to it over time. At that time, I would not be able to let the Emperor vent his dissatisfaction on me just because he was provoked by a few words."

Guyu sighs

"But Madam, if you and the Emperor remain at odds like this, I'm afraid Concubine Mi will be favored. Concubine Mi and the Emperor have different feelings for each other. Will this give Concubine Mi an opportunity to take advantage of you?"

Lin Junxue looked at the worried Qiao Xin and the other two in front of her and spoke calmly

"The relationship between the Emperor and Concubine Mi is indeed special. This time, Concubine Mi took action in anticipation of a quarrel between the Emperor and me. After all, Concubine Mi is smart enough, and most importantly, she knows the Emperor well enough. This time, Concubine Mi spent so much effort on this trip south, just to take advantage of this trip south to win the Emperor's heart to her side. Since Concubine Mi wants this opportunity, I will give it to her."

Danzhen and the other two were stunned. Qiao Xin said, "My queen, this..."

Lin Junxue raised her eyebrows slightly, raised her white hands slightly, picked up a cup of tea on the fire table, and lightly skimmed off the foam.

She said softly, "It's okay. This time, we'll go south and enjoy the scenery of the south of the Yangtze River."

In the following days, Xie Yu summoned Chen Mi alone to accompany him in the carriage every day, and the other concubines did not even look at them.

Sun Manrou and Zheng Jin would also look for opportunities to pay their respects and want to accompany the emperor, but they were unsuccessful.

Only Lin Junxue rarely showed up and almost always stayed in her carriage.

During their daily rest time, Zhang Yuyan and Li Shiwen would carry Xie Ziyi to accompany Lin Junxue.

Lin'an

The most prosperous place in Jiangnan

First stop south

After arriving at the local place, all the officials welcomed them. Lin Junxue and her concubines moved into the mansion arranged by the local officials.

As soon as Xie Yu arrived at the local area, he began to meet with officials. He was so busy that he was not seen for several days.

However, when he went to bed with the emperor at night, Chen Mi was summoned to sleep with him.

During this trip south, Chen Mi was extremely favored and enjoyed great glory, and was the only one who was favored by the emperor.

When the local officials heard about it, they all changed their attitudes. Except for the courtyard where Lin Junxue lived, the courtyard where Chen Mi lived was the largest and most luxurious.

When Sun Manrou found out, she was furious and complained to Xie Yu that her courtyard was far inferior to Chen Mi's.

Xie Yu directly scolded her for being rude and defending Chen Mi.

Listening to the Rain Pavilion

The courtyard where Lin Junxue lived this time when she went south was very elegant with its rockery and flowing water.

Qiao Xin and Gu Yu packed the luggage with the palace maids and eunuchs, and it took them an entire afternoon to finish the task.

It's getting late

Hall

Danzhen served tea, "Your Majesty, tonight, the Emperor has summoned Concubine Mi to sleep with him."

It has been half a month since they set out from Kyoto to Lin'an. During this half month, Xie Yu has been summoning Chen Mi to accompany him in the carriage and sleep with him.

However, Xie Yu had never summoned Lin Junxue. Even when they met each other every day, they were always cold and unfamiliar with each other.

Everyone outside could see that the Emperor and the Empress were angry.

Lin Junxue nodded slightly, not caring at all

"Okay, got it. Today, this lotus seed soup is delicious. Later, ask Guyu to send some to Concubine Lan and Concubine Yan."

Dan Zhen said, "My lady, I understand and will send it over shortly."

Lin Junxue hummed lightly and looked at Danzhen with a worried look on her face.

Of course she knew what Danzhen was worried about. Lin Junxue reached out and pinched her cheek.

She smiled and said, "You are so young, why do you look so sad? Be careful that you will age quickly. Okay, I know what you are worried about, but I know what is going on, so don't worry."

Danzhen was relieved when she heard this. The Queen Mother said that she was truly relieved because she knew what was going on.

She was really afraid that the Empress and the Emperor would remain in a stalemate.

"I believe in you, Madam."

Second day

Lin Junxue and the concubines were strolling in the garden

Sitting at the main seat, Lin Junxue sipped her tea leisurely.

Chen Mi sat below with a smile on his face

The concubines watched this scene and did not dare to speak first. The atmosphere was very strange.

Lin Junxue looked at the reserved people below and smiled slightly.

"Why are you silent today? I just arrived in Jiangnan these few days. Is there anything you are not used to?"
