yufei at the side lowered her head, a few tears rolling down onto her twisted jade hands. Her jade-like small hand held the teardrops like transparent pearls in the night. Then, she used her handkerchief to wipe them away.

She had thought that the latter would be none other than herself, because there were only two first rank imperial concubines, her and Xie Fei. No matter how they compared, she was still a hundred times stronger than Empress Dowager Xie, and she was still the empress dowager's favorite. But who would have thought that it would actually land on Xue Fu's body? How could those wronged tears be stopped?

Yue Ye wasn't moved by her tears, but had a burst of ridicule in her heart. Everyone was scheming against him! including the empress dowager and yufei in front of him, the empress dowager and yufei had obtained an extraordinary throne, they would definitely be judged by many, he understood! With a polite smile on his face, he lowered his head and said, "Muhou, each person has their own strengths and weaknesses. The two, who are different to begin with, cannot compare.

"But you chose Xue Fei as your backing without even thinking!" The empress dowager was furious. She glared at him and said sternly, "The empress selected Xiao Ke, who is the mother of a nation. Which empress wasn't chosen by the same group of officials after repeated comparison?"

"Imperial Mother, this son only wants to find a person he likes as his successor." Although Yue Ye's tone was respectful, there was no room for discussion. His heart had already made up his mind. He would take Xue Fu as his successor and bestow her with the most favor – the highest status!

Only Xue Fu had the qualifications to be his Empress!

Seeing that he didn't give her any leeway, the empress dowager could only suppress the rage in her heart. In order not to have a falling out with Yue Ye, she could only call for her to stop. After calming himself down, he quietly walked in front of Yue Ye, and said to him bitterly, "Yi, sometimes you have to listen to the words of a group of subjects and empress. Except for Xue Fei, no one will harm you."

"This son thanks mother for her advice." Yue Ye lowered her head, feeling a little more relaxed.

"You can decide for yourself. Imperial Mother's words are already like this, so there's no need to stay any longer." After the empress dowager finished speaking, she turned her head and spoke behind her without looking back, "Yu Er! "Let's go!"

yufei was obviously not willing to just leave like that, he bit his lower lip, and tears started dripping down his face once again. However, she didn't dare to linger any longer. If the emperor wasn't happy, she bowed and followed the empress dowager out of the court.

The moment the emperor's servant left, Yue Ye, with a depressed face, leaned back in her chair, lightly pressing her finger against her temple. He had never encountered such a thorny situation since his enthronement. It seemed that some matters were more difficult for the emperor to deal with than those of ordinary people. He only wanted to make that woman he had waited so much for be the first one. It was also extremely difficult!

"Your majesty, please drink some tea." Eunuch Li considerately offered the God Calming Tea that was offered by other nations. The aroma of the tea was rich, and one could smell it even from afar when the cup was opened. It even covered the entire management hall of the Jade Fragrance. Yue Ye raised her brows, asking, "Where did this tea come from?" Is it a new breed? "

Eunuch Li carefully presented the tea in front of him and replied, "Reporting to the Emperor, this tea is called Long Qing tea, it is from within the borders of the Northern Zhou Country. A few days ago, the country's historians paid tribute to the tea, and it has the effects of calming the mind and improving the appearance of men and women, it is suitable for both genders."

"Really?" Then send some to Xue Fei and grand consort. " Hearing about the miraculous effect of the tea, Yue Ye immediately sat up and took the teacup from Eunuch Li's hands. The smell was pure, Xue Fu and grand consort would definitely like it!

"Yes, Your Majesty." Eunuch Li held both his hands in his sleeves, and helplessly shook his head when he replied. It seems like the emperor's infatuation for Xue Fei isn't just a normal one.

yufei hung her head as she followed the empress dowager. When her tears fell on the gravel path below her feet, they completely disappeared. Only she knew that her tears had once spilled. However, the empress dowager could still hear her slight sobbing. The empress dowager's footsteps halted, and the yufei followed suit.

"Yu Er..." The empress dowager placed a hand on the young eunuch's forearm and called out without turning her head. Her voice was filled with boundless seriousness and dignity. Standing in this sea of flowers, Yanran was driving like a queen. From the empress dowager to the empress dowager, these past 20 years of being the empress dowager had allowed her to reveal a dignified air even when she was not speaking.

yufei walked over to her with small steps, bowed to her, and said with grievance, "Empress Dowager."

The empress dowager lowered her eyes slightly and looked at her sternly, "Don't be too sad about the matter of the empress creating Xue Fu white for the emperor. I gave you a chance to grab hold of your heart, but you couldn't; you can't blame anyone but yourself, and can only blame yourself for not being the empress's life."

"But …" Bai Xue Fu has more advantages than chenqie, she got to know the Emperor a year before chenqie did. " Coincidentally, not only did Bai Xue Fu know the Emperor three years ago, he had also saved his life. This caused the Emperor to show her kindness in one night. The Emperor of Yue, who had always treated her coldly, it was now even more impossible for her to look directly at him.

"That's why I said that this is fate and cannot blame others. Quickly get up and wipe your tears away, let others see just how proper it is! You're not allowed to think about the later generation anymore, understand? " The empress dowager gave a stern order and walked past her in the direction of the palace. Although yufei felt wronged, she had no choice but to obey the empress dowager's order. She casually wiped away the tears on her cheeks with silk and followed after them.

There were many flowers and plants in the Ning Hua Garden, making her look even more beautiful. A beauty like the yufei should be smiling as she floated in there. Yet, there was a line of clear tears that was being poured onto the beauty!

The group of people had only walked a few steps when they stopped in front of a human figure. At the other end of the Ning Garden, the light blue palace attire was like a beautiful peony flower, faintly discernible in the luxuriant purple garden. Soon after, her facial features could be clearly seen. Her delicate five ducts were exceptionally quiet. A faint melancholy surged from beneath her eyes. It was a type of special beauty.

Xue Fu also saw the empress dowager and yufei, and his heart sank when he saw the yufei hurriedly wipe away her tears, as if she was the one wiping her tears. I was hurt by a man and I was crying!

After a moment of surprise, Xue Fu didn't have time to think any further as he went over to the empress dowager and yufei and bowed before them. "The empress dowager is lucky, Imperial Concubine Yu is lucky."

"Xue Fei's in a good mood. She knows how to take a walk in Ning Garden." The empress dowager pursed her lips with a faint smile. As usual. On one hand, her nature was quiet, and on the other hand, her concubines were never allowed to walk around as she pleased. If it wasn't for the emperor's invitation, visiting the Town Hall or the Clear Peace Hall would require her to pass through many obstacles.

And the reason why Xue Fu could travel unhindered on this path must be because he received the Emperor's permission. He never thought that this Queen had not even donned her phoenix robe yet. There was already a greater right to travel in the palace than the empress. Right now, the direction she was heading towards was clearly the position of the Town Hall.

Xue Fu didn't panic, nor did he grow angry. He still hung his head and replied calmly, "Reporting to the empress dowager, Xue Fu just happened to pass by Ning Garden, and didn't want to block the empress dowager's path. Xue Fu deserves to die!"

"What you deserve to die for is not blocking my path, but the sin of the Demon Emperor!" The empress dowager cast her a cold glance before she took the eunuch's hand and left. The yufei stood by Xue Fu's side, wishing that she could rush up and beat her up badly. However, the Empress Dowager had patiently instructed her to know how to maintain her image, and words came to her mind at the right time. She had no choice but to endure it. imitating the empress dowager, she glared at Xue Fu hatefully and chased after the empress dowager.

Xue Fu knelt on the grass dumbly, thinking about the empress dowager's last sentence. Was there really such a deep sin in becoming the Queen of Yue Ye? Yes! She knew! The entire dynasty was against giving her the title of successor!

"Empress, quickly get up." Xiang Er and Yun'er extended their hands to help Xue Fu, while the other female servants waited on them nervously. The other few girls were sent by Yue Ye's former genius to her. They were very meticulous and sensible little girls, but in the end, they couldn't even compare to Liu Li. Liu Li, who had been serving her since she was young, felt a dull pain in her heart whenever she thought of her.

Xue Fu stood up from the ground and continued to walk in the direction of the Management Hall. Every time she passed through an arch, she would need to show the jade tablet Yue Ye gave her. With this special jade token, he was able to travel unhindered and quickly arrived at the Hall of Management.

When the Eunuch Li standing outside the hall saw her, he immediately heaved a sigh of relief, interrupting the eunuch's report. After bowing to Xue Fu, he said, "It's good that the Empress is here, the Emperor is in a bad mood. For the Empress' matter, the Emperor did not sleep last night, so the Empress should not say anymore words that would agitate the Emperor."

"Don't worry, eunuch. As long as Your Majesty doesn't make things difficult for me, I will speak to Your Majesty properly." Xue Fu said, then smiled and walked past him into the hall.

Xue Fu, who had stepped into the palace, saw his own portrait hanging on the left wall of the palace with a glance. The image of him in the painting was filled with emotion. She had never properly sat down and painted for a painter before, but the picture on the wall was clearly her own. And the place where it was written, the words' Yue Ye 'could be clearly seen!

Xue Fu's heart throbbed slightly. He never thought that the Yue Ye Emperor would be able to draw so brilliantly without her participation. Ever since she was young, she had been an experienced painter. She knew that once something was branded into her mind, it could easily be moved from her mind onto a piece of paper. As for him … Is it because I have her in my head?

After staring blankly for a while, she withdrew her gaze from the painting on the wall and looked at the imperial table in the middle of the hall. Yue Ye wasn't reading the imperial reports, but was resting in her chair with her eyes closed, her slender fingers moving in circles at her temples, looking extremely tired. The tea on the table was steaming, and the fragrance of the tea assaulted his nostrils.

Xue Fu finally understood that when he walked in, the smell he smelled wasn't Yue Ye's favorite scent of lolita, but a refreshing scent that was unfamiliar and pleasant to the nose. It turned out that the fragrance was coming from the teacup on the table.

"Li Tu, come over here and help me massage this!" Yue Ye, who was curled up in a chair, ordered. Even her voice sounded tired and tired. The softest string at the bottom of Xue Fu's heart was slightly touched, and his heart started to ache. Was it worth it for her? What was the use of doing so much for her? Many things could not be found after they were lost!
