Chapter 258 Discussing Returning to the Palace
In the afternoon, Zheng Jin also sent her maid to invite Xie Yu to her palace, saying that she had learned a new piece of music and wanted Xie Yu to appreciate it.
Thinking about what happened in the past few days, Xie Yu had no mood to listen to the music, so he directly scolded the palace maid.
After the maid went back, Zheng Jin heard Xie Yu scold her for being ignorant, saying that the harem was in such turmoil, yet she still had the mind to indulge in vocal music.
After hearing that Xie Yu went to Zhonghe Palace, he became extremely angry.
She was reborn as Zheng Jin, and what she learned in the brothel was how to play various musical instruments, sing, and serve people.
But the emperor doted on her for a few days at the beginning, but recently he seems to have no interest in her at all.
The queen is in charge of the harem. In recent days, concubines have been poisoned and committed suicide. It is such a big deal.
It would have been fine if the emperor didn't vent his anger on the queen, he didn't scold or blame her, and he actually doted on her and was close to her.
Today, the emperor went to Zhonghe Palace again
Queen, what kind of drug did she give to the emperor to make him so obsessed?
The Queen, a young lady who grew up in a general's mansion, must be well-behaved.
When it comes to the ability to serve others, how can anyone catch up with her who has been learning it since childhood.
But why did the emperor get so tired of her? Zheng Jin couldn't understand it at all.
Zhonghe Palace
When Xie Yu arrived, Lin Junxue was already standing at the door to greet him with a gentle smile on her face.
She was wearing a cloak and standing under the lantern. Her face was hidden in the light and darkness, but she looked even more beautiful and charming, so stunning that it aroused people's imagination.
Originally, Xie Yu was in a bad mood today because of the letter sent by the Queen Mother, but now his mood inexplicably improved.
Lin Junxue stepped forward and greeted, "Your Majesty, I pay my respects to you."
Xie Yu took Lin Junxue's hand, felt her hand was a little cold, frowned, and said in a deep voice
"Didn't I tell you not to come out and wait? How long have you been waiting? You're not in good health to begin with, and why are your hands so cold?"
Lin Junxue still had a gentle smile on her face and spoke softly
"Your Majesty, don't worry about me. My hands are cold. I didn't wait long. It's just a moment. It's okay."
Xie Yu obviously didn't believe her and looked at Qiao Xin.
Qiao Xin took a step forward, looking distressed, and replied
"Your Majesty, the Queen has been waiting at the door for almost half an hour. She wanted you to come. The Queen will feel relieved when she sees you as soon as possible."
Lin Junxue's face flushed. "Qiao Xin, don't talk nonsense."
Qiao Xin smiled and stepped aside
The master and servant now have a perfect understanding and are in perfect harmony with each other. Anyone who sees this will think that Lin Junxue's true love for Xie Yu is evident to all.
Qiao Xin is good at talking. She didn't mention a word about the hardship that Lin Junxue had to endure while waiting, but this made Xie Yu's heart move slightly, and there was a bit more tenderness in his eyes.
He looked at the shy Lin Junxue and felt in a good mood, and wanted to tease her.
"Jun'er, do you really want to wait for me?"
Lin Junxue knew that Xie Yu was getting interested and was trying to cooperate with her. Her face turned even redder and she shook her head slightly.
"Your Majesty, no way, I am just bored and want to go out for some fresh air, don't listen to Qiao Xin"
The more Lin Junxue denied, the more Xie Yu believed it, and the smile on his lips deepened.
Lin Junxue walked quickly in front of Xie Yu and entered the bedroom.
According to the rules, no one can walk in front of Emperor Xie Yu.
But at this time, Xie Yu didn't care about this matter at all
He thought of Lin Junxue’s blushing face just now, and strode into the hall with a smile.
Behind him, Gao Cheng felt emotional that the emperor's current mood was so deeply influenced by the empress.
The emperor was in a bad mood the whole afternoon, but when he came to Zhonghe Palace, he was in a good mood after just a few words.
It is true that no one in the harem understands the Emperor's thoughts as well as the Empress!
Hall
Xie Yu grabbed Lin Junxue's hand
"Okay, Jun'er, I have to stop talking. I know what you mean."
Xie Yu looked at Lin Junxue with deep eyes, and the atmosphere in the hall suddenly became ambiguous.
However, Lin Junxue's goal for today has not been achieved yet, and she doesn't want to go to bed with Xie Yu right now.
She immediately put away her shy expression
"Your Majesty, please don't say that again next time. I have prepared some new food for you. Please try them."
Xie Yu put away his thoughts and nodded.
"Okay, Jun'er, I will naturally enjoy your kindness."
Lin Junxue smiled. After they had dinner, Danzhen served them tea and stepped aside.

After Xie Yu finished sipping his tea and put down his teacup, he asked Gao Cheng and the waiters to leave first, which showed that he had something to say.
When Gao Cheng led the palace maids downstairs, there were only two people in the hall.
Xie Yu was silent for a few seconds, then said, "Jun'er, the Queen Mother sent a guard to deliver a letter to the palace today."
From the beginning till now, Lin Junxue has not taken the initiative to talk about what happened today, because she is sure that Xie Yu will discuss this matter with her.
If the Queen Mother wants to return to the palace, she, the Queen, must preside over the welcoming ceremony, so Xie Yu will speak up himself.
Lin Junxue paused and pretended to be surprised.
"Your Majesty, did the Queen Mother send a letter back to the palace today from Yushan? How is the Queen Mother? I haven't seen her for three years. I really miss her."
Xie Yu looked at Lin Junxue's nostalgic expression and thought to himself that she was a simple-minded person.
The Queen Mother was very dissatisfied with the Lin family from the beginning to the end. In the past, she was very strict in disciplining Jun'er and always kept the power of the harem firmly in her hands.
He has always known this, but before, he didn't like Jun'er, so he let his mother take charge of the harem, and Jun'er was the queen in name only.
Alas, Jun'er is the only one who knows nothing and yet serves his mother sincerely.
It was so sincere, but my mother never took it to heart.
Jun'er has a simple personality. If the queen mother returns to the palace, I will have to protect her more.
Xie Yu said in a deep voice, "My mother said in the letter that she was praying for me at Yushan and was worried about my health every day. I also heard that a lot of things have happened in the palace in the past few days, so my mother wants to return to the palace early. What do you think about this, Jun'er?"
Lin Junxue's face immediately showed a hint of joy
"Your Majesty, you said that my mother wants to return to the palace. This is a good thing. Of course I am happy. For so many years, my mother has always taken good care of me. I have always kept it in my heart and dare not forget her kindness. I haven't seen her for three years and I miss her. Three years ago, when my mother left the palace, she specially asked me to go to Ci'an Palace to sit and talk to her. She said a lot of things and taught me earnestly. I still dare not forget it until now."
Xie Yu frowned. His mother had always disliked Jun'er, so why would she let Jun'er go to Ci'an Palace to sit before leaving the palace?
At that time, I was busy reforming the government and did not pay much attention to the affairs of the harem, so I really didn't know about this matter.
"Three years ago, when the Queen Mother left the palace, what did she say to Jun'er?"
Lin Junxue thought about it
"Your Majesty, my mother and I didn't say much. We just told me that if I run into any trouble while in charge of the harem, I should go to Yushan to ask her for help."
Lin Junxue was touched
"My queen mother is thinking about me wholeheartedly. I took over the harem suddenly. I think my queen mother was worried that I might not be able to adapt for a while, so she left a message. My queen mother is really good to me, but I don't want my queen mother to go to Yushan to worship Buddha. I am still worried about the affairs in the palace, so I didn't send anyone to go."
