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

Xiao Shuyue, wearing a light pink butterfly dress, hurried to Lu Chuyi, her eyes gleaming with anticipation, and whispered, "Empress Chongyi, can you accompany me to play later? I want to go on the swing, okay?"

Hearing this, Lu Chuyi hugged Xiao Shuyue in her arms and said with a smile, "Okay! No matter what the princess wants to play, I am willing to accompany you."

Upon hearing this, Xiao Shuyue's smile widened, and she said crisply, "Thank you, Empress Chongyi!"

Xiao Xuanchen, who was standing on the jade steps, inadvertently looked at the two of them. He couldn't help but raise his eyebrows slightly and asked Zheng Xiyan: "Queen, when did Yue'er become so close to Lu Chongyi?"

Zheng Xiyan gently waved the round fan in her hand, smiling, and explained: "Your Majesty, you don't know that during this period of time, Yue'er and Lu Chongyi have been getting along very well. The two often play together, and their feelings are getting deeper and deeper."

"Oh?" Xiao Xuanchen showed a look of surprise, and then his eyes softened a little, "I see, I haven't noticed it before."

"Lu Chongyi is not only excellent in riding and archery, but also very good at shuttlecock kicking. Yue'er likes him very much and often pesters her to play with him." Zheng Xiyan added, her words full of praise for Lu Chuyi.

"That's it!"

The nurse came forward at the right time, holding a bowl of hot soup in her hand, and whispered softly: "Princess, you should drink your soup while it's hot."

Xiao Shuyue shook her head, her face full of reluctance: "No, I don't want to drink."

Seeing this, Lu Chuyi smiled slightly, stretched out her delicate hand, took the bowl from the nurse, and said softly: "It's okay, I'll feed the princess." She picked up the silver spoon, and with skillful and gentle movements, she scooped up a spoonful of soup and brought it to Xiao Shuyue's lips, "Princess, open your mouth."

Xiao Shuyue opened her mouth as she was told and savored the food slowly, bite by bite. She looked content and happy.

Not far away, Lu Ran witnessed all this, and his heart was like a pot of mixed feelings. He sighed secretly, and a trace of regret flashed in his eyes. Perhaps, the original decision was really wrong, and he should not have let Chu Yi enter the palace.

King Xiang sat opposite Lu Chuyi, his eyes moving between Lu Ran and Lu Chuyi, and he knew it all. He looked at how close Lu Chuyi and Xiao Shuyue were, and thought to himself that Lu Chuyi might already be hers.

Consort De and Consort Yi were also very surprised. Although they had heard that Lu Chuyi often went to Weiyang Palace, they had never expected that the relationship between the two would be so deep. The two looked at each other and saw shock and confusion in each other's eyes.

Seeing this, Xiao Xuanchen smiled and said, "It seems that I have indeed neglected Lu Chongyi in the past. Even Yue'er likes her so much."

Zheng Xiyan smiled even more when she heard this, and said, "Your Majesty is absolutely right. If this is the case, Your Majesty should compensate Lu Chongyi properly."

"What the Queen said is absolutely right. I've made note of it." Xiao Xuanchen nodded in agreement.

After the banquet, Lu Chuyi and Zheng Xiyan walked side by side on the path back to Chaoyun Palace.

Xiao Shuyue was jumping up and down in front, her laughter like a silver bell echoing, occasionally looking back, very excited. "Yuer, run slower, don't fall." Zheng Xiyan said gently.

The palace maids followed closely behind, their steps light and cautious, "Princess, watch your step."

Zheng Xiyan's eyes occasionally swept across Lu Chuyi's profile. She pondered in her heart, and then asked softly, "Didn't you accompany His Majesty on a hunting trip this morning? Why do you look unhappy?"

Hearing this, Lu Chuyi sighed softly and looked into the distance, "Your Majesty is right, but..." She paused, "After all, it lacks the pleasure of galloping freely."

Hearing this, Zheng Xiyan smiled knowingly and said, "You didn't have enough fun!"

Lu Chuyi was surprised and asked, "How did the queen know?"

"According to your personality, you must want to have fun now that you finally have the opportunity to ride a horse. But when you go hunting with His Majesty, you have to abide by the rules. How can you possibly have fun?" Zheng Xiyan said with a smile.

Lu Chuyi lamented, "Sure enough, nothing can escape the eyes of the Queen. It would be better if I didn't come to the palace. I might as well stay in the palace to accompany Sister Zhang."

"You, you just lived too recklessly in the past. Now that you are here, why not have some fun? I will take you horseback riding in a few days so that you can have fun and enjoy yourself. How about that?"

When Lu Chuyi heard this, a hint of surprise flashed in her eyes, and then turned into gratitude: "Really? Madam, you are so kind!"

Zheng Xiyan smiled and nodded, her eyes full of doting: "Of course, once I say something, I can't go back on it."

"Thank you, Your Majesty." Lu Chuyi bowed.

"Why should we be so polite?" Zheng Xiyan gently stroked the back of Lu Chuyi's hand and turned her gaze to Xiao Shuyue who was playing beside her. "Yuer's happiness these days is all because of your company. I am very grateful in my heart."

Lu Chuyi chuckled, "It's my luck to be able to play with the princess, and I'm very happy."

"As long as you are happy."

When I returned to Chaoyun Hall, I saw Xiao Shuyue sitting on the swing. She pushed the ground lightly with her feet, and the swing began to swing slowly. Her laughter was clear and pleasant, like the sound of nature.

Zheng Xiyan sat on one side, wearing a light blue palace dress embroidered with delicate orchid patterns, and her every move showed her gentleness and generosity. She gently waved the feather fan with landscape patterns in her hand, and her eyes fell gently on Lu Chuyi beside her. Lu Chuyi was wearing a moon-white long dress, with her hair lightly tied up, and a few strands of hair brushed across her cheeks in the wind, adding a bit of softness to her. She lightly held a blue and white porcelain cup, and the fragrance of tea curled up, which complemented her temperament.

"You should have seen your brother in the hunting ground!" Zheng Xiyan asked.

Hearing this, Lu Chuyi smiled slightly, took a sip of tea, and said, "I have met you."

"The temporary palace is not like the imperial palace, and it doesn't have so many rules. It's fine if you want to reminisce with your brother." Zheng Xiyan said with a smile.

Lu Chuyi nodded gently, "I know, my sister-in-law also came to the palace with my brother, and the queen will have the opportunity to reunite with her family."

"Yes! The rules in the imperial palace are very strict, but there are not so many rules in the temporary palace. It is much freer here than in the imperial palace." Zheng Xiyan said with emotion.

At this moment, Xiao Shuyue came running over, grabbed Lu Chuyi's sleeve, and said coquettishly: "Empress Chongyi, you promised me that you would swing with me!"

A hint of pampering flashed in Lu Chuyi's eyes, and she smiled and said, "Okay, I'll go with you right away." As she spoke, she gently put down the teacup, stood up and followed Xiao Shuyue.

Zheng Xiyan looked at their backs, with a warm smile on her lips. In the yard, laughter and joy were heard one after another, the autumn breeze was blowing, the fragrance of flowers was in the air, everything was so beautiful.

In the following days of hunting, Zheng Xiyan and Lu Chuyi accompanied him. Xiao Xuanchen took Zheng Xiyan to ride horses on the grassland. The two of them rode side by side and galloped wildly on the endless grassland.

"Drive! Drive!"
