The most beautiful lady in the harem

Wei Lanxin shook her head, still unable to believe that things would develop to this point.

"How could it be possible! How could the emperor know? Didn't we do it cleanly and neatly, without any trace at all?" Wei Lanxin looked up at the Empress Dowager Dong, still looking as pitiful as a little deer.

Although she felt desolate in her heart and knew that the Queen Mother Dong had abandoned her and pushed her out to take the blame, and she also held some resentment towards her, she was very smart and did not confront her directly.

When you are under someone's roof, you have to bow your head. The royal family is the royal family. If she argues with the Queen Mother Dong, it will not benefit her at all.

Now that he had already lost Emperor Yongjia, he could not lose the mercy and support of Empress Dowager Dong.

Tears as big as beans flowed out of Wei Lanxin's eyes.

Unfortunately, after she said so much, Empress Dowager Dong just looked at her silently without saying anything.

Wei Lanxin knelt down, took a few steps back, put her hands on the ground, and bowed deeply to the Empress Dowager Dong.

The impact almost broke my forehead.

Although the Empress Dowager Dong lived in the harem and did not know what happened in the previous dynasty, she had heard a lot over the years and could certainly guess what kind of person General Li was.

Emperor Yongjia arranged a marriage for her and asked her to do this favor. It is true that the general might have some good qualities, but since Emperor Yongjia decided to punish Wei Lanxin in this way, it means that General Li must have some bad aspects as well. However, the Empress Dowager Dong had no way of knowing this.

The Queen Mother Dong stood up, looked down at Wei Lanxin, took two steps forward, then squatted down and touched Wei Lanxin's head as if giving alms to a puppy on the roadside.

She naturally wouldn't tell Wei Lanxin her true feelings, but just picked out some good words to comfort her, "You should be more open-minded. After all, she has been with the emperor in the northwest for almost ten years. She can be his confidant. Naturally, she can't be too bad."

"It's just that the place is a little far away, but it's okay, it's okay, staying away from here, you can put these things aside."

This is obviously easy to say. If the Queen Mother Dong was asked to live that kind of life, with drought, water shortage, and material scarcity, she would rather be reborn as a human being.

But it’s others who are suffering, what does it have to do with her? She is the queen mother.

Wei Lanxin had originally held out hope, but after begging the Empress Dowager Dong for so long, she never said a word from beginning to end that indicated there was any room for easing the situation.

Wei Lanxin gritted her teeth and cried, "Queen Dowager, Queen Dowager! Please, help Lanxin! Lanxin doesn't want to go, even if she dies, she doesn't want to go!"

The Empress Dowager Dong took a handkerchief and wiped Wei Lanxin's tears. "The Emperor's decision will not change. Think about it, marrying a general like that and being a mistress is no better than being a little talent in the harem."

This is another complete sarcasm.

Wei Lanxin was almost out of tears. She stretched her neck, had red and swollen eyes, and couldn't utter a word.

She gritted her teeth and thought for a moment, then said viciously, "Empress Dowager, is there someone in the harem who dislikes Lan Xin and is taking this opportunity to whisper in the emperor's ear to harm me?"

Seeing that he was still so stubborn and refused to listen to anything she said, Empress Dowager Dong's eyes turned cold. She did not wipe her tears but stood up, walked back to the step and sat down, then resumed her condescending attitude and looked down at her.

"Don't think about the things in the harem anymore. No matter who or what the emperor found out about this matter, he has found out. If you go to him and make a scene again, I'm afraid that more trouble will arise. By then, you may not be able to marry to the northwest safely."

Wei Lanxin looked at the Empress Dowager Dong in disbelief. There was a hint of threat in her words. The journey from the capital to the northwest was so long. If something happened along the way, it would be very easy to take action.

Wei Lanxin couldn't help but tremble slightly. She always thought that the Queen Mother Dong was someone who cared about her, but now she realized that she was too naive.

Seeing her like this, Empress Dowager Dong couldn't help but advise her, "You should be more considerate of the emperor's good intentions. Relax, you will marry to the northwest, and the wedding procession and ceremony, as well as the style, will not be much worse than the princess's marriage far away. I will instruct the Shanggong Bureau to prepare some dowry for you."

Only then did Wei Lanxin realize that the Empress Dowager Dong had never intended to discuss the matter with her from the beginning to the end.

At times like this, she and Emperor Yongjia also stood on the same side.

Wei Lanxin gritted her teeth and endured it again and again before she finally suppressed the anger in her heart.

-

Here, the news that the emperor had arranged a marriage for Wei Lanxin had just come out in the morning. Qin Liuse hadn't digested it yet, but in the afternoon, he heard Wei Lanxin making a scene in front of the emperor.

She also said that she would rather die than marry to the northwest, and would rather live in the Ci'en Temple in the palace, eat vegetarian food and chant Buddhist scriptures for the rest of her life than marry far away.

When Qin Liuse heard the news brought back by Xiao Fuzi, her heart skipped a beat. She didn't expect that Wei Lanxin loved Emperor Yongjia so deeply.

It's quite embarrassing for an unmarried girl to end up in such a mess.

However, when these words reached her ears, it was said that Wei Lanxin had already left the imperial study. At first, she did seem to be determined to die rather than surrender, but it was unknown what Emperor Yongjia said to Wei Lanxin in the end.

This farce caused a huge stir, but it was finally settled so quietly that it is hard to imagine that it happened in one day.

Qin Liuse did not expect that Wei Lanxin, who had the courage to make a scene in the imperial study, would agree to marry far away after talking to Emperor Yongjia.

These past few days, there has been one crisis after another. Although Qin Liuse did not participate openly, he actually played a role in fueling the flames.

Seeing that Wei Lanxin, the troublemaker, had been eliminated and revenge had been avenged for Concubine Xian, the matter was over and he finally relaxed.

The new concubine returned to the palace next to Xin Zhaoyuan. Emperor Yongjia accompanied Xin Zhaoyuan last night, and he should have started to visit the new concubine by now.

After dinner, Qin Liuse was about to lie down on the couch to sort out her thoughts, when Qingqing came in and said, "Qin Jieyu, the emperor has come to Shuyuexuan."
