After killing four concubines, the queen was sentenced to death and reborn

Zhao Baolin was slightly surprised and asked carefully: "Why did the Queen Mother suddenly..."

"Baolin, you've worked hard these days, go back and have a rest!" Nanny Yu said with a smile.

Zhao Baolin was a little dazed, and only came back to his senses after the palace maid reminded him, "Baolin..."

"Yes." Zhao Baolin quickly put down the brush. The palace maid helped her up. She came to Yu Mama and said, "Then I will go and thank the Queen Mother."

Aunt Yu smiled and said, "Okay!"

In the main hall, the Queen Mother was holding Princess Changle and playing. Nanny Yu brought Zhao Baolin in, "Queen Mother."

Zhao Baolin knelt down to express her gratitude, "Thank you very much, Queen Mother."

"Get up! Serve the emperor well in the future. If you harbor any delusions and make any mistakes, I will not forgive you easily." The Empress Dowager said with a cold face.

"Yes, I obey your command." Zhao Baolin stood up obediently with a respectful look on her face.

"Go back!" The Queen Mother waved at her.

"Yes, the concubine is retiring."

The moment Zhao Baolin left Shoukang Palace, she was still a little stunned and a little bit unbelieving. The Queen Mother was... She pounded her right hand with her left hand as she walked away. The palace maid also pinched her shoulder and said, "Baolin, the Queen Mother has recognized you. You don't have to be punished anymore."

Zhao Baolin was surprised and delighted when he heard this. The corners of his mouth slightly raised, and he said with a smile: "I hope so."

"Ah."

Weiyang Palace

When Zheng Xiyan learned about this, she was playing with Xiao Chengji in the yard. Biluo came over and whispered in her ear, "Did Zhao Baolin return to Yihua Palace?"

Zheng Xiyan frowned slightly. She didn't expect that her mother would accept her so immediately. It seemed that she really had some abilities.

"I understand." Zheng Xiyan said in a deep voice.

"Your Majesty, does this mean that the Queen Mother approves of her?" Biluo asked in disbelief.

"Who knows? The Queen Mother's thoughts are the same as your Majesty's, equally difficult to guess. We can only say that she is smart and thoughtful. However, if she is really a smart person, she should know how to choose." Zheng Xiyan said meaningfully.

"That's what I said!"

That night, the eunuchs from the Jingshifang arrived at the Zichen Palace.

Xiao Xuanchen saw Zhao Baolin's green card among all the green cards and asked, "Zhao Baolin's green card?"

"Yes, the Queen Mother ordered today to hang up Zhao Baolin's green card. The Queen Mother also exempted Zhao Baolin from the task of copying Buddhist scriptures in Shoukang Palace every day."

Xiao Xuanchen touched her green card, and the next second he turned it over and said, "Go to Yihua Palace."

"Yes!"

Weiyang Palace

At noon, Xiao Xuanchen sent someone to Weiyang Palace, saying that he would come over tonight. Zheng Xiyan packed up early and waited for him, but she didn't expect that he went to Yihua Palace.

It would be a lie to say that she didn't feel a little disappointed, but she wasn't really sad either. "It's true that they don't have any credibility at all, but it doesn't matter anymore."

"Don't be sad, your majesty." Biluo whispered.

Zheng Xiyan looked indifferent and said in a cold voice: "I am not sad. It is not worth it to be sad for him. But it can be seen that he does treat Zhao Baolin differently."

"It's strange. Zhao Baolin is indeed pretty, but there are many women in the palace who are more beautiful than her. Why does Your Majesty favor her so much?" Biluo was a little confused.

Zheng Xiyan curled her lips and chuckled, but did not respond.

Shuang Jiang, who was standing nearby, said angrily, "What's there to not understand? She is a dancer, so she is different from the concubines in the harem. Your Majesty must find her fresh."

"That's true." Biluo said calmly.

"Okay, let's settle them down!" Zheng Xiyan immediately interrupted them.

"Yes." Biluo quickly helped her into the bedroom to sleep.

Yihua Palace

Xiao Xuanchen ordered someone to bring wine so that he could drink with her. Zhao Baolin refused three times, but facing the emperor's order, she had no choice but to obey.

After a few drinks, Zhao Baolin was already a little drunk, her head was dizzy, and a blush appeared on her little face, making her look even more delicate and lovely.

When Xiao Xuanchen saw her like this, he raised a wicked smile and said in a hoarse voice, "Do you know why I want to confer the title of Baolin on you?"

"I don't know." Zhao Baolin shook her head. Even though she was a little drunk and felt dizzy, she still tried her best to hold on.

"These people in my harem are the same except for their appearance. On the surface, they are respectful and obedient to me, but I know very well in my heart that they just want to gain my favor, conceive a dragon heir, and bring glory to their mother's family." Xiao Xuanchen put his arm around her waist, and the atmosphere gradually became ambiguous and charming.

"But you are different. You regard me as your heaven and as your sole support. Only with you do I feel comfortable and relaxed." Xiao Xuanchen pinched her chin and pecked her delicate red lips lightly.

The roots behind Zhao Baolin's ears turned red, and she said in a delicate voice: "Your Majesty, I was born in a humble family. It was Your Majesty's grace that allowed me to get rid of my identity as a dancer. Your Majesty's kindness to me is as great as a mountain. I have no way to repay you, so I can only serve you wholeheartedly."

These words came from her heart. In this harem, her greatest reliance was his favor, and she had to do everything she could to keep his favor.

"I don't ask for anything, I just want to be able to stay by your majesty's side and live a peaceful life in this harem." Zhao Baolin said sincerely, with tears in her eyes.

Xiao Xuanchen was very pleased to hear this. His eyes gradually became blurred and he pinched her cheek lovingly.

"You are very good. I hope you can always be like this." Xiao Xuanchen said in a deep voice.

"Yes, I will never let Your Majesty down." Zhao Baolin leaned in his arms with her hands around his neck.

Xiao Xuanchen smiled slightly, then asked, "Who else is in your family?"

Zhao Baolin's face changed slightly, a trace of sadness appeared on her face, and she said with a choked voice: "Your Majesty, my family members are gone."

"Gone?" Xiao Xuanchen asked.

"A few years ago, my father was implicated and my whole family was raided. My father and brothers died of illness during exile, and my mother committed suicide for love. I was sold into the palace and became a lowly maid. Later, by chance, I was noticed by a maid in the music troupe and became a dancer." Zhao Baolin lowered his eyes and spoke in a low voice, his face showing aggrieved expression, which made people feel pity for him.

When Xiao Xuanchen heard about her experience, he couldn't help but feel a little distressed, but he was also somewhat fortunate in his heart because she had no family to rely on, so she posed no threat to him.

"No wonder you can read and write, so that's why." Xiao Xuanchen said in a deep voice.

"My grandfather and father were both Jinshi (imperial examination candidates) and our family had a private school. All my brothers and sisters went to study there." Zhao Baolin recalled the past days, which were free and stable. They were the happiest time in her life.

"I guess your grandfather was also a man with a far-sighted vision."

"Your Majesty is right, but everything has changed since my grandfather passed away." Zhao Baolin whispered.
