yufei's willow-shaped eyebrows raised slightly as she examined the girl below her feet once again. She wore a silk palace attire, her hair was meticulously combed, and the end of her silver hairpin was hollow as butterfly wings danced in the wind. Although her head was lowered, one could see her beauty with a single glance. yufei was surprised, she did not expect the girl to call him a peony today.

Without waiting for yufei to speak, he took out the precious emerald-encrusted golden step from his sleeve and presented it respectfully to her. "Rong'er is extremely grateful that you have lent me this golden hairpin, this hairpin is not ordinary, if not for this hairpin, I would have already been demoted to a slave.

yufei only glanced at the hairpin indifferently, before she lightly picked her up and said: "I have plenty of this hairpin, so it's naturally yours if I reward you. Take it back." Then he walked past her into the house.

As the corner of her skirt brushed past the noble man's body, he became anxious and turned around to face the yufei again. He said fearfully, "Rong'er doesn't dare to accept such an expensive reward from the Empress."

yufei paused for a moment, and without looking back, he sneered: "Then little sister, just throw it away."

The more the noble man thought about it, the more afraid he became. He turned towards the back and said, "I thank Imperial Concubine for her bestowal. If Imperial Concubine has any orders in the future, I will definitely take responsibility." When she finished speaking, she raised her eyes slightly and could only see a flash of beautiful clothes behind the door. She could not see yufei's elegant and noble figure anymore.

"Empress, this noble man's thoughts are rather well thought out. He knows to lean under the evergreen tree of the Empress." The servant girl pursed her lips and smiled, she then picked up the fan on the table and gently fanned yufei. It was a warm spring day, and she could not use the Hedonist Fan, but because yufei had been rushing along the way, she was able to get rid of some sweat. Nian'er, the servant girl, had always been considerate, and immediately understood what she meant.

This girl was originally from yufei's family that accompanied her into the palace. She had been used to serving yufei since she was young, and it was also because of her nimbleness and skill, that she was able to stay as the red person in front of yufei.

The Hedonist Fan shook gently, as threads of black hair that drooped down from yufei's forehead were gently flirted with by the cool breeze. "This Imperial Concubine Hua is the only one with a simple background, and her title is the lowest. If she doesn't rely on me, will she have a good day in the future?"

"The Empress's words are extremely true." Nian'er nodded his head in agreement, then sweetly and ingratiatingly said, "The Empress is the first in this harem. The position of Empress definitely does not belong to the Empress. I'm afraid that in the future, all of those concubines and consorts will all come to please the Empress."

"Little girl, aren't you afraid that the emperor will listen to your words?" yufei spat out softly, her little face not showing any joy, but instead sighing dejectedly. "I wonder whose family this empress position will end up with. There's no hope for Consort Xie anymore, but those new maidservants, Mrs Liu and Madam Bai … The only thing I'm afraid of is that the emperor will choose his consort. Even if he doesn't want to look at the monastic side, he still has to look at the Buddhist side! "

The yufei was the empress dowager's daughter. It was said that the empress dowager had taken a fancy to her when she was on a tour to the south, and then brought back the Ning City. No one really knew anything about her real past. Even though she didn't have much background, she could still use her name as the empress dowager to rise to the position of first rank imperial concubine. As long as the empress dowager didn't fall, she would have no worries!

Previously, she had been quite confident in her ability to ascend to the throne, but who would have thought that the Emperor would have more than ten consorts in one day? Every one of them was born with a powerful background, not to mention that they were flowers.

Nian Er naturally understood her worry, but she kept her fan in her mouth as she consoled her, "Esteemed Empress, don't worry too much. Madame Liu looks ordinary, and she cannot be left behind. The woman from the Bai Clan had a cold expression and didn't know how to speak. She was like a boring jar. The two ladies of the Bai Clan could speak, but they were as proud as peacocks, and did not cower in the slightest. Say, what's the difference between these people and Empress Xie? Is there any future for us? "

The second year after Yue Ye ascended the throne, the imperial concubine was bestowed the title of second rank imperial concubine. She was quiet and almost never stepped out of the room. Over time, everyone had almost forgotten about her within the palace.

yufei did not reply, he only sighed and continued to talk. Qin Guan slightly lowered his head, staring at the incense burner on the table. The aroma of sandalwood wafted from the furnace, a scent that many people in the palace liked. The fragrance mixed with the soft sighs that continuously leaked out from yufei's mouth. It floated and floated in the magnificent hall and seeped into every corner.

The sky had already darkened, and the last rays of the setting sun shone through the windows into the house, covering the originally luxurious palace with a layer of gold. It looked even more noble than the shrine in the Outer World. yufei's small, white face became even more enchanting and beautiful after being dyed in this soft golden color. It was a pity that her face was too dim and her eyes seemed a little lifeless.

When the little servant saw that she was alone and worried, she naturally understood that at this moment, she was the one who hated being disturbed the most, so she could only bow and leave.

Yun He Palace was located at the side of the imperial harem, so there were not many people passing by. Ever since the day he had lived here, other than the female servants and eunuchs, there had not been anyone else who had come. After being bored for a day, Bai Yuqi from the west wing started to clamor that he wanted to leave the palace to see his mother. Xue Fu only laughed bitterly when he smelled it. How could he get out so easily when he found that the palace entrance was as deep as the ocean?

There was an old pear tree in the yard. Its white petals were covered with branches, and its fragrance was intoxicating. Xue Fu took the bamboo basket and tiptoed to pick the white flowers. Xiang Er didn't understand, but he tilted his head and said, "Empress, these flowers are beautiful on the branches, if you pick them, it won't be beautiful at all."

Xue Fu smiled slightly and said: "I naturally understand. Seeing that the Pear Blossom was about to be healed, I wanted to pick some and drink it during the summer."

"You want to soak in water?" Xiang Er became more and more doubtful, he had never heard of pear blossoms that could be used to soak in water.

"White into the lungs, you haven't heard of it, have you? Pear blossoms have the effects of moistening the lungs, relieving cough and removing phlegm, soothing the lungs and clearing away heat, nourishing the yin and dampening the dampness, dispersing the intestines, calming the heat and relieving the wind, lowering the fire and generating the water. They can enter the lungs and help the vital energy and blood decelerate, helping people's vital energy and blood to flow from the outside to the inside, they have many functions. " Xue Fu said as he harvested the fruits.

In the past at Miaofeng Temple, Master Yuzhen would tell her to get some dried meat and give it to everyone when they needed it. Each time, she was reluctant to pluck the flowers. She jumped onto the roof of the Pear Blossom Array, washed off the white layer, dried it in the sun, and took it back to the monastery.

The morning sunlight gently shined on the Pear Blossom Tree, the few scattered rays of light shined on Xue Fu's white, small face, and a few butterfly-like white petals fell onto her hair and face. She did not expect to see such a snowy Pear Blossom in this deep palace garden. She had always thought that she would never have the chance to be with this beautiful Pear Blossom in her life!

"Empress, how much do you want to pick? Let this servant take it for you." Seeing her with a head full of white flowers, Xiang Er could only say with concern. However, Xue Fu shook his head and refused. He jumped down from the stone chair and said: "Alright, that's enough."

Xiang Er heaved a sigh of relief, took the basket from her hand and entered the house. Xue Fu used his hands to pat his head full of pear blossoms. Just as he was about to turn around and enter the house, he heard Bai Yuqi cursing loudly: "Who's playing the zither endlessly next door? Are you even letting me sleep? Xiao Cui! Where's Xiao Cui! "Take care of it for me!"

A servant girl called Xiao Cui rushed forward, kneeling with her head bowed, she said in fear: "Empress, this servant does not know who is living next door, and does not dare to go forward."

"Don't know?" How could you not know? "Hurry up and go!" Bai Yuqi did not explain further, and growled at her.

Xue Fu overheard the music of the zither. Vaguely, he became aware that it was a beautiful and sorrowful zither. The zither bearer's skills were first-rate as well. She unconsciously began to wonder just who was playing the zither, why was he so sad. Could it be that the other party was the same as her, being thrown into a small corner of the palace because they weren't holy pets?

Xue Fu's footsteps could not help but walk out of the courtyard. He carefully walked along the red wall as he walked forward. Perhaps it was out of sympathy, but she kept walking, almost holding her breath as she walked along the long corridor. He was still dressed in white, and the gentle wind was blowing him around.

As the emperor's woman, she originally needed to wear the imperial costume, but she hadn't been wearing it. Since she didn't need to see the emperor, it made it easier for her to walk around outside.

Just as she was walking slowly, she suddenly heard a 'whoosh'. It was the sound of a sharp weapon piercing through a tree. Xue Fu immediately turned pale with fright. Instinctively, he spun around, avoiding the sharp weapon that was shooting at him.

It was a small throwing knife that was not seen in the Kingdom of Yun. The throwing knife stabbed into the red wall with a "ding" sound. Xue Fu recovered from his shock and stared blankly at the flying knife that was stuck steadily onto the red wall. There was a piece of paper stuck on the knife. She looked around in bewilderment but didn't see anyone. She stepped forward to pull out the throwing knife and carefully spread out the paper.

Before she could clearly read the words on it, from the corner of her eyes, she saw a dark blue figure sway a little, rushing towards her. Xue Fu instinctively dodged the hand holding the slip of paper, avoiding the incoming person's attack.

Here!" A cold voice sounded out, and the person that appeared before her was a young man with a handsome appearance and a serious expression. He was dressed in a navy blue robe, his black hair was tied up with a jade crown, and a round jade pendant with a Soaring Dragon picture hung at his waist. It was obvious that he was a noble of the royal family.

Just a moment ago, he had accidentally revealed his skills, but now, he was met with the presence of a noble duke. Xue Fu could not help but be worried. He unconsciously clenched the paper in his hand and said to the handsome man: "You're still okay, but I want you to forget that you've seen me today, just like I forgot that I've seen you here today. How about it?"

"I am not interested in the matters of the palace, so even if I did not say it, I would not have remembered that I met you today." The man's voice was a bit calmer, and his heart sunk into faint worry. His gaze never left the piece of paper in her hand.

He didn't know who a girl with such exceptional skills would be or why she would be buried in this palace courtyard. He wasn't in the mood to understand these chores. However, he didn't have the heart to think about this right now. He only wanted to retrieve the creed from her hands.

"That's for the best." Xue Fu replied him with an indifferent expression, returning the creed in his hands back to his hands. Before leaving, he kindly reminded, "Yue Ye is not a muddle-headed person. After saying that, he gave one last look at this man who looked as cold as the night moon, before turning around and leaving.

"I am Nangong Jue, thank you for your reminder." The steel-like man cupped his fists towards that snow-white back. However, a clear and cold expression flashed across his eyes without the slightest hint of gratitude. Only when the long corridor became quiet again did he turn around and leave in a hurry.
