In this life, she had no idea what this cup of wine would do to her.

Xiao Ruyue smiled bitterly and handed over her cup to drink.

She looked at Yuwen He in shock and a wry smile appeared on his face, "Clearly, this was not our doing. The Emperor has not failed to prepare such a thing on his wedding night. "

A single moment of the Spring Lantern Festival was worth a thousand gold.

It was unknown whether it was due to the effects of the medicinal wine or some other reason, but Yuwen He had always wanted her to stay awake until the latter half of the night.

In the middle of the night, she was exhausted. He ordered someone to prepare hot water and personally carried her into the bath. He washed her body and did not let the palace maids do anything. He personally helped her change her clothes and then sent all the palace maids away.

She was also extremely tired, so she didn't have the strength to struggle and just let him do as he pleased.

He didn't know if it was because he was too tired, or because the hug was too warm, or because it was so sweet and dreamless that he didn't wake up until the late afternoon of the next day.

"Princess, you're finally awake. This morning when the monarch went up to court, he told everyone not to wake you up. It's almost noon, and I thought you wouldn't make it for lunch. It just so happens that lunch has just arrived. You can wash up and eat now. "

Xiao Ruyue was startled, "You said that it's almost noon?"

"That's right. Logically speaking, the reason for your grand wedding yesterday was to invite the imperial concubines from the imperial harem to pay their respects." But His Majesty did not allow anyone to disturb you. He also said that the matters of the audience were not urgent, and that it would be fine even if you changed your days. " When Lu Yi said this, she laughed so hard that even her teeth could not be seen.

For His Majesty to do so much meant that His Majesty doted on the princess. If he could obtain her husband's heart, the princess would have a much easier life in the future.

Of course, Xiao Ruyue understood why Lu Yi was happy, but she did not think that Yuwen He would do all this for no reason.

"Tell the concubines of the imperial harem to come to our Phoenix Palace for an audience."

"Chenqie pays her respects to the empress. The empress has lived for thousands of years."

Not long after, the concubine and concubine came to invite the phoenix palace to meet the Empress. There were only a few palace concubines, and they were all scattered around.

"Both of you, rise."

"Thank you, esteemed empress."

A few of them sat down, allowing Xiao Ruyue to take a good look at their appearances.

According to the palace concubine's list of names, Yuwen He's harem did not have three thousand harem girls. Other than Princess Ye Haitang, who came at the same time as her, who sealed her imperial concubine, there were only two geniuses, three people who were missing and a Luzhou-yuang-yuan-yuan-jie.

In the huge backyard, including the Empress Xiao Ruyue, there were only eight imperial concubines. From this, it could be seen that Yuwen He was not a lustful person. These girls, were most likely sent into the palace by someone else, or it was what he said, that the Emperor was very displeased to see him being the one who handled the matters of the Empress Dowager.

Thinking about that, Xiao Ruyue's gaze turned to Ye Haitang, and she looked at him as if nothing had happened, then laughed and shifted her gaze away. She picked up the teacup by her side and took a sip.

"Imperial Consort is unhappy?" Xiao Ruyue asked indifferently, as she took a sip of her tea.

This Imperial Concubine's hostility towards her could be said to be deep. Although it was not seen on her face, it was seen in her eyes.

Ye Haitang hurriedly stood up and replied, "Esteemed Empress, please forgive me. Chenqie originally thought that she would come early in the morning to pay her respects, so she woke up early. However, she didn't expect that at the entrance of the Phoenix Invitation Palace, His Majesty had ordered that no one was to disturb Your Highness' rest, and thus left. If you want to rest more, you won't be able to sleep at all, so you don't have much spirit. "

Was this woman so shrewd that she purposely revealed her background? Or was she really so unscheming?

Ye Haitang just finished her sentence, and Xiao Ruyue laughed.

She was more willing to believe that Ye Haitang was deliberately revealing her intentions, making others think that she was a woman with no shrewdness at all. This man was not easy to deal with.

"Since Imperial Concubine is unable to rest well because of me, then let us return early to rest. "Lu Yi, take out the small item that I prepared for you."

From a little palace maid called Cai Yin who was by the side, she received a tray covered with red cloth and carried it to Ye Haitang and the other palace concubines.

"Imperial Concubine, honorable guests, this is the gift the Empress has prepared for the nobles."

Opening up the red cloth, there were seven small boxes that looked exactly the same.

Xiao Ruyue's words had a hidden meaning.

Ye Haitang was not stupid, she naturally understood the meaning behind these words: "I do not wish to make you my enemy, but if you do not cherish peaceful days, I will not be courteous to you."

She immediately replied, "chenqie thanks the empress for her generosity. It's just that this step is so precious, how could chenqie dare to accept it? 'Is the empress … '

"There is no way to take back what was given out." Without waiting for her to finish speaking, Xiao Ruyue interrupted her and said, "Little sister Imperial Concubine, please treat this as me treasuring this step that came from my homeland. Bu Lu is a mascot, he might bring his little sister good luck and make her wish come true. "

Did she really think that although she had nominally sent people to ask for help from the Phoenix Palace, she actually had been secretly tampering with the situation? Did she not know about that?

Ye Haitang, in this depths of the palace, the thing that you could guard the most was the secret.

The other two talented people, three beauties and one Luzhou-yuang-yuan-yuan-jie also received their prizes. After they received the items, Xiao Ruyue sent them away.

It was because they were not the only ones who were meeting today.

And among them, was the current Wei Wangfei, Yao Ziyan.

The Destined Women took his place after bowing as usual, the palace maids serving tea. What Xiao Ruyue wanted to do was basically the same as seeing Gong Fei. Giving something and saying a few words, it was just a formality, but because Yao Ziyan was there, this formality lasted a lot longer.

Yao Ziyan's outfit today was not much different from that of the palace banquet. She was dressed in luxurious and luxurious clothes, and even her clothes were extremely rare, Yun Jin, afraid that others would not know that she was the current mistress of the Wei Wang Residence.

Moreover, when she sat among many women, there was always a prideful air about her that stood proudly above others. When she looked at others, her eyes were full of scrutiny and criticism, as if none of those present were worthy to sit with her.

This problem really hadn't changed at all.

Yao Ziyan, you still have a good feeling about yourself. What right do you have to feel good about yourself, a despicable bitch who robbed a husband, killed a baby in the cradle, and occupied a magpie's nest?

Why don't you ride the wind and travel ninety thousand miles?

"I heard that the Wei Wangfei and Uncle Wei have a deep affection for each other. Why haven't they given birth to a young prince or a young prefecture lord in so many years?" Xiao Ruyue asked casually.

Yao Ziyan spat out the tea that she had just drank.
