Story of Yanxi Palace: Fu Ying's banner will never fall

Chapter 135 Meeting the Queen

Nalan Chunxue said to Mingyu, "In that case, let's come back another day to pay our respects to the Queen."

"What happened?" Hearing the quarrel coming from the door, Wei Yingluo walked out curiously.

As soon as Lu Wanwan saw Wei Yingluo, her eyes immediately lit up, and the unhappiness just now disappeared without a trace in an instant.

When she saw Wei Yingluo, she felt she was very kind, but when she thought of what happened to Wu Ya Qingdai before, she couldn't help but feel a little scared.

Nalan Chunxue felt that this palace maid was very cunning and should not be underestimated. This was the main reason why she came to pay a visit to the Queen as soon as she entered the palace. With such a helper, the Queen would be as stable as a rock in the harem.

Mingyu turned her head reluctantly and whispered into Wei Yingluo's ear, "Yingluo, the two masters wanted to see the Queen, but the Queen is still resting, so they said they would come another day."

Wei Yingluo frowned slightly after hearing this, secretly guessing the purpose of Nalan Chunxue and Lu Wanwan's visit.

Seeing this, Wei Yingluo's heart could not help but move. She knew Mingyu was always wary of new concubines, worried that they would take away the favor of Changchun Palace after entering the palace.

The hostility Mingyu showed at this moment was obviously due to her concern for the queen's position.

However, Wei Yingluo understood that doing so would only worsen the relationship between the two parties.

Similarly, Nalan Chunxue and Lu Wanwan seemed to have noticed Mingyu's attitude. They looked at each other, with a hint of dissatisfaction in their eyes.

After all, they had just entered the palace, they were young and arrogant, and being rejected by Mingyu like this, they would naturally feel resentment in their hearts.

Wei Yingluo thought that if they became resentful and turned to Concubine Gao, it would be a huge threat to Changchun Palace.

She suddenly recalled that in her previous life, Nalan Chunxue had chosen Concubine Gao as her backer. Now it seems that the reason might be related to this.

So, Wei Yingluo hurriedly stepped forward and said with a smile: "My two young ladies, the Queen has just woken up. She will be very happy to know that you two young ladies are coming to visit. Please wait for a moment while I go in and inform you."

After hearing what Wei Yingluo said, Nalan Chunxue's expression finally relaxed, and a smug smile appeared on the corner of her mouth.

She raised her head proudly, took Lu Wanwan's hand, and walked into Changchun Palace together.

Mingyu frowned in confusion and asked, "Yingluo, what are you doing? The emperor has been particularly fond of Concubine Chun recently. It's already not easy for us in Changchun Palace, and now there are two more flamboyant concubines. I get angry just looking at them!"

Wei Yingluo stretched out her finger and gently poked Mingyu's brow, smiling and saying, "Silly Mingyu, they just entered the palace, and they must be choosing their side. If you reject them now, wouldn't that give the one from Chuxiu Palace a chance?"

Mingyu suddenly understood and nodded quickly, "Ah, yes... I was impulsive."

As she said this, she stood up and hurried to prepare tea and snacks, intending to apologize to Nalan Chunxue and Lu Wanwan.

At this time, the atmosphere in the inner hall of Changchun Palace was harmonious.

The sweet-talking Nalan Chunxue was talking about the interesting things that happened in the capital today, which made Empress Fucha very happy and she always had a gentle smile on her face.

The atmosphere between the three of them was very good, and Nalan Chunxue, who was originally nervous and trying to please everyone, gradually relaxed.

She found that Empress Fucha was really as the rumors said, gentle as a chrysanthemum, and she truly cared about the other concubines in the palace, making her very easy to get along with.

Lu Wanwan was deeply moved by the Queen's gentle words and her unconcealed concern. She liked Queen Fucha very much and kept looking at her with bright and focused eyes. She believed that the Queen must be the most gentle person among the concubines in the Forbidden City.

"Empress, you still have a lot of palace affairs to deal with, so the concubines will return to the palace first." Nalan Chunxue was very happy to see that Empress Fucha happily accepted the two sisters, but it was getting late, so she suggested leaving.

Empress Fucha still had a smile in her eyes. "It's good that you can come and talk to me. If there is anything you are not used to, you can come to me at any time."

The two of them hurriedly bowed, "Thank you, Queen."

Nalan Chunxue turned around and was about to leave, but was surprised to find that Lu Wanwan, who had always been timid and cowardly and had hardly said anything just now, seemed a little reluctant to leave.

She asked cautiously, "Empress, can we sisters come to bother you again in the future?"

Nalan Chunxue was stunned, stopped and looked at Lu Wanwan, feeling very strange.

This was the first time in all the years that Lu Wanwan had known her that she dared to speak without any reason!

But Empress Fucha smiled slightly, with a doting look in her eyes, "Of course, you can come anytime."

Lu Wanwan nodded happily, with smiles in the corners of her eyes and eyebrows.

Mingyu and Qingyun, who were eavesdropping on the side, were infected by the harmonious atmosphere between them.

Mingyu felt even more guilty and had a sad expression. If Wei Yingluo hadn't been there just now, she would have been in trouble again.

"Mingyu, don't feel guilty. Didn't the two masters just say they forgave you?" Qingyun saw Mingyu frowning and knew that she was still feeling uneasy about offending Nalan Chunxue and Lu Wanwan, so he hurried to comfort her.

"But this makes it seem even more like I was wrong...I blamed them wrongly." Mingyu muttered.

Wei Yingluo came over and patiently explained, "You are Mingyu, who is fearless! If you are wrong, just admit it and be more patient next time."

After listening to Wei Yingluo's words, Mingyu felt a little less guilty, but she still felt a little guilty.

She decided to pay more attention to her words and actions in the future, and not offend others easily or make enemies for the Queen.

Seeing this, Qingyun quickly chimed in, "Yes, Mingyu, you are the tyrant of our Changchun Palace! Even if there is a small mistake, it is still a big deal!

Mingyu couldn't help but burst out laughing when she heard this, but she still felt a little guilty in her heart, so she pretended to be relaxed and pushed Qingyun and Wei Yingluo away, pretending that nothing had happened and said:

"Alright, alright, both of you stop talking nonsense and get back to work. I'm going to the Ministry of Internal Affairs to get the items needed for the Lychee Feast."

After saying that, she turned and left.

On the other side, Nalan Chunxue and Lu Wanwan had already left the Queen's bedroom, talking and laughing along the way.

Nalan Chunxue smiled happily and said, "Today is so interesting. I didn't expect the Queen to be so easy to get along with."

Lu Wanwan also echoed, "Yes, and Wei Yingluo beside the Queen also looks very friendly."

Nalan Chunxue lowered her voice and whispered, "This Wei Yingluo is a bit unexpected."

The two walked away while talking.

Mingyu was walking alone on the palace road, still feeling down. When she reached the imperial garden, she saw that there was no one around, so she couldn't help kicking the stones at her feet.

At this moment, a dark shadow flashed by, a hand covered Mingyu's mouth, and dragged her behind the rockery next to her.

Mingyu struggled in fear, her heart filled with terror.
