Chapter 5: Give gifts

005 gift
The three of them had breakfast in the Ci Ning Palace, and talked homely. The face of the Empress Dowager gradually showed exhaustion, and Xiahou Shangle frowned slightly.
"The Empress Dowager, Shangle thought that Fengqi Palace still had some things to do, so she left first."
The Queen Mother was a little drowsy with her hands on her head. After listening to Xiahou's words, she opened her eyes and smiled at her and nodded.
"Alright, Le'er, call the Aijiahuang grandma from now on, Chener, you can go back with Le'er, Aijia is tired too!"
When Bai Yuchen and Xiahou Shangle got up to salute, the Empress Dowager waved their hands, and they quietly exited Cining Palace without speaking.
It was Bai Yuchen with a faint smile, but Hanshuang replaced the smile on Cining Palace’s face. She looked at Xiahou Shangle coldly, and even spoke for him in front of the Queen Mother. I really don’t know this woman. What are you thinking about?
Xiahou Shangle felt Bai Yuchen's gaze, and stared at him with a calm and watery look. Neither of them spoke. Xuewu on one side didn't know why, and suddenly there was a bad premonition in her heart, but she couldn't speak. , Just stood quietly and bowed his head worriedly.
"Do you think that if you speak for me before the Queen Mother, I will take back what I said yesterday and change my opinion of you? Then I tell you, you are really wrong!"
Bai Yuchen’s words do not carry any emotion. The coldness revealed in the words makes people feel that the surrounding air is chilly. Xiahou Shangle only frowned. She really never thought that Bai Yuchen would change her right because of her words today. Her attitude!
"The emperor said that he had discussed with his concubine, didn't he just want his concubine to take the initiative to take Miss Yan's family into the palace? The concubine thought that what he did today was what the emperor thought. Isn't it in line with the emperor's heart?"
Although Xiahou's voice was soft, what he said was neither humble nor overbearing, and did not affect her inherently luxurious temperament because of her lack of favor, let alone express dissatisfaction with Bai Yuchen's bad attitude towards her.
She is like a secluded lotus flower, even if it is just standing in the water, it can naturally exude a quiet and indifferent temperament, which is completely different from the intriguing environment in the palace.
Bai Yuchen looked straight at Xiahou Shangle. He thought she would avoid his gaze, but unexpectedly, instead of hiding, she looked back at him with a look that seemed colder than his.
After a long while, Bai Yuchen snorted and sneered at Xiahou Shangle.
"Since there are so many queens, I will definitely not let the queen down!"
Leaving this sentence, Bai Yuchen strode towards Yanshou Palace, Xiahou Shangle clenched his hands in his sleeves into a fist, bit his lip and looked at his back, secretly telling himself, endure, must endure .
"Master, let's go back!"
"it is good!"
Xue Wu said a little worriedly. Xiahou Shangle turned his head and smiled at her. The master and servant went to Fengxi Palace, but Xue Wu had unspeakable sorrow and grief in her heart. During Mu Chao, the master Who has been so wronged?
But just two days after coming to the Yue Dynasty, he was humiliated twice by the emperor. On the second day of the wedding, he blatantly wanted to accept his concubine. This was clearly embarrassing the master!
"Master, the emperor is now openly accepting his concubine, which is really unfair to you!"
Xue Wu broke a cup of tea and placed it in front of Xiahou Shangle, and said indignantly. With a small face, Xiahou Shangle showed a slight chuckle.
What can be unfair? Who can she blame? Who let her be born in the emperor's house, who let her shoulder the heavy responsibility of being a family?
If you want to blame, you can only blame her for not being born in an emperor's family, let alone marrying into an emperor's family.
The daughter of the emperor’s family has a much better life than the daughter of ordinary people, but once they meet with a marriage, they are rarely unjustified. Imagine a goddess who asks him to accept an arranged marriage and a strange woman. Few people can accept it calmly!
"Xue Wu, have you forgotten what I told you last night? Don't talk about the emperor at any time. If you can't remember this sentence, then I can only ask someone to send you back Mu Chao!"
Xiahou appreciates the rare seriousness. Xue Wu immediately knelt on the ground after hearing her words, with a worried face on her face. If she was sent back to Mu Chao by the master, then she had the entrustment of the negative emperor. If you are angry, your life will not be guaranteed!
"Master, I dare not, please don't send Xue Wu back. When he came, the emperor told Xue Wu to take good care of the master. If the master lets Xue Wu go back, the emperor will definitely blame Xue Wu. I beg the master to spare Xuewu once!"
Seeing Xue Wu’s anxious expression, Xiahou Shangle put down her teacup. She didn’t really intend to send Xuewu back to Muchao. She just wanted Xue Wu to remember that there are crises everywhere in the palace, and she may die at any time. If you keep being like this, your life will be killed by a mouth sooner or later!
"Xue Wu, if you don’t want to return to Muchao, you must remember that no matter when you face anyone, you must be careful. Even the most intimate person can’t completely believe it. In this palace, Anyone can kill you! Remember, I am the only one of your masters! And only I can protect your safety in the palace of the Yue Dynasty!"
She wants Xue Wu to remember that only she is her master, and only she can guarantee her safety here, no matter when it comes, her Xiahou Shangle is her master!
"Xue Wu remembered it!"
After this incident, Xue Wu no longer dared to talk nonsense, and for an instant, the whole person looked extremely mature. Xiahou Shangle was very relieved of such Xue Wu.
Innocence is good, but in the palace, pureness is to give others the opportunity to harm her. She does not allow herself and the people around her to be in any danger, she will never allow it!
"Master, Miss Yan has entered the palace!"
Xiahou Shangle put down his book, and he could hear the festive gongs and drums outside through the window. The maids were all saying that the emperor's concubine was no worse than marrying the queen two days ago, even more pompous.
She just laughed when she heard those comments. It was obvious that Bai Yuchen wanted to embarrass her. Since she knew, why bother about it?
"Prepare a gift and send it for me!"
Although Xue Wu didn’t understand why Xiahou Shangle, as the lord of the harem, still gave a gift to a concubine who had just entered the palace, but she understood that there must be a reason for the lord to do so, so she immediately responded and went to prepare the gift. .
A faint smile appeared at the corner of Xiahou Shangle's mouth, hoping that Yan Ruyu could put Bai Yuchen's mind on her after entering the palace, so that her life in the palace would be better.
"Master, would you like to go over it?"
"No, you have always chosen gifts appropriately, what can I worry about? Send them quickly!"
