"Your Majesty, do you know where you went today?" The queen asked the palace queen where she was going as if she was unintentional.

The palace maid served by the emperor behind him was named Lingxi, the queen's newest personal palace maid. "Go back to the empress, I went to Concubine Cao's place today."

"I didn't expect that this concubine was really hardworking. She was really a two-pronged approach. Seeing that I couldn't make a breakthrough, I went to find the emperor again. But Bai Ri Rongle had just received the scolding." The queen disdained Concubine Cao's behavior very much, but the emperor was very obsessed with Concubine Cao's tricks. Every time she was fooled by Concubine Cao, she followed her wish, "I'm so old that I don't know how shameless."

"What the Empress said is, no wonder Princess Rongle has become like this now. If she grew up next to the Empress, she would definitely not..."

"Oh, I hope she will become more and more ignorant. Sooner or later, her actions will definitely affect Concubine Cao, and even the entire Cao family." The queen had no longer had her kind eyes in the sun at this time. This was the real appearance of the queen. Only in front of the person she believed most would she dare to take off her mask. However, after a long time, she could not tell which one was the real self.

"What the Empress said makes sense, but I am not considering it carefully." Lingxi obediently flattered the queen. She knew the standards of advancement and retreat, otherwise she would not have become the confidant of the Lord of the Six Palaces.

"Lingxi, how do you look at that Shen Wanxin?"

Lingxi had long expected the Empress to ask this question, "When I return to the Empress, I think that the Xiliang County Lord is definitely not mediocre. If you make good use of it, it will definitely become a weapon in our hands."

"What if she doesn't want to use it without this palace?" The queen, who had finished washing, sat down at the edge of the chessboard with her long hair, held a piece of her fingers, and looked at the black piece in her hand carefully.

"If it is not for us, it is an abandoned son. Although it is a bit regretful for good talent, it is much better than becoming a roadblock for us." Lingxi also looked at the black son in the queen's hand. She knew that the queen had an answer in her heart, but she just spoke it out with her mouth. "But I heard that the relationship between Xiliang County Lord and Lord Liu seems to be an extraordinary relationship. Lord Liu is the prince's aide. If this is the case, then Xiliang County Lord should become our people."

The queen thought for a long time without talking. After slowly putting down the black piece in her hand on the chessboard, she did not hold any words. "Your words are the same as what I think, so I must protect her in the past three days. This is also a great gift I have given her. If she is smart, she will understand what I mean."

"Empress, when will you play this game of chess?" Lingxi pointed to the endgame on the chessboard. She saw that the queen would play a piece every day, so she stopped moving. If this is the case, wouldn't she play a game of chess forever?

"I don't know. Maybe it will be the end of the day when Hao'er ascends the throne." The queen suddenly felt a lot of worries in her heart. How could she not know that the prince's ascends the throne? She said that the second and fourth princes, who were eyeing each other, had longed for the throne for a long time. She could accept that her son had fought with the other two princes, and even had blood. She would not complain at all, because although she was in the harem, she would definitely help her son. But she did not want to see the flesh and blood of a mother and a compatriot. She knew Zhang'er's character very well, and she was afraid that the day when the brother fought for the throne was getting closer.

"Empress?" Lingxi saw that the empress was stunned for a long time, so he called out softly from the side.

"Hmm?" The queen suddenly recovered and looked at Lingxi.

"Empress, it's time to go to bed."

"I know. Tomorrow morning, you will ask the Xiliang County Lord to come and worship Buddha and recite scriptures with me." The Empress held Lingxi and walked towards the bed.

"I understand."

Wanxin, who was lying on the bed, was not sleepy at all, and I don’t know if she had changed her place. However, although she had always been sleeping uneasy on the first night, the first time she had no sleepiness. Wanxin knew in her heart that she didn’t like this place very much. From the first step she stepped into the harem, she felt extremely depressed. Even if there was endless wealth and prosperity here, she would rather choose to eat simple food outside the palace than be imprisoned forever like a bird in a cage.

Because she couldn't sleep, Wanxin got up, opened the window, and looked at the full moon in the sky. In this place surrounded by high palace walls, she felt that the moon was extremely high. Wanxin looked at the moonlight and suddenly missed Leng. She remembered that when she was a child, whenever the moon was full, Leng would take her to the yard to see the moon and tell her the story of Chang'e on the moon. As for whether there was Chang'e on the moon, Wanxin didn't know, but she knew that she would never have the chance to listen to her mother tell stories again in her life.

Wan Xin's hatred for the Shen family deepened a little further. She felt that it was time to deal with the Shen family. She would save Mr. Shen's life, but Mr. Shen must be punished as he is sorry for his mother.

I don’t know how long I sat by the window, but Wanxin fell asleep in a daze. It was not until the next day that Jinli entered the door and found that Wanxin was not sleeping on the bed, but was actually lying by the window. Jinli was shocked and quickly put down the basin of the water in his hand and patted Wanxin on the shoulder, "Miss, Miss."

Wan Xin's long eyelashes trembled and shivered. He slowly opened his eyelids, reached out to rub his eyes, looked around, and saw Jinli in front of him, "Why are you here?"

"Miss, why are you sleeping here? Why don't you sleep in bed?" Jinli reached out and helped Wanxin up. Because of the incorrect sleeping position for the whole night, Wanxin's shoulders and waist were a little sore.

"I don't know, I couldn't sleep yesterday, so I started to look at the moonlight. Who knew that I fell asleep if I was not careful?" Wan Xin said a little apologetically.

Jinli helped Wanxin massage her shoulders, looking clear, "I usually can't sleep here on the first night, and it will be better if I have been in a long time."

"Everyone is like this?" Wan Xin was a little surprised. It seemed that this harem was not a lucky place. She suddenly missed her Tingzhuyuan, Mingyue and Bai Zhi, and didn't know if they were at home.

"Yes, nine out of ten people are like this. Miss, I'll serve you to wash."

"Please, after washing, I will go to the Queen's place to worship Buddha and pray with her. Let's move quickly, don't let the Queen wait."

"Miss, you are really kind. Few people are as afraid of boredom as you, and recite the Buddha's name devoutly." Jinli likes Wanxin's temperament very much, and even thinks how good it would be if she followed such a master. Although the Empress treats her well, there is Lingxi around the Empress. She doesn't even have the qualification to talk to the Empress.

I smile without saying anything, have a heart? It’s almost the same with ulterior motives. How many people who chant Buddha’s name really have the hearts of the people in the world? Isn’t it said that the Empress, and even the hosts in the temple, are all selfish people. And how many people have truly understood the mystery of Buddhism and understood the Buddha’s Zen?

After finishing the washing, Wanxin did not bring any clothes to the palace, so the queen brought a few new clothes for Wanxin to choose from. Wanxin did not look closely and pointed to one of the most elegant robe skirts and said, "I'll wear this."

When Wan Xin, who had already dressed up, came to the palace where the Queen worshipped Buddha, the Queen did not appear yet. Jinli asked with concern, "Miss, the Queen should be half an hour before it will appear. Should we go back to the house and wait? You have been standing here for too much effort."

Wan Xin shook his head, "It is our duty to wait for the Empress, and to show sincerity, we should stand and wait. And although we did not kneel in front of the Buddha here, I believe that the Buddha will definitely feel my sincerity."

"Okay." An experienced female voice came, and the closed palace gate opened instantly. A smart and sophisticated palace maid walked out of it, and gave a basic tribute to Wei Wanxin. When Jinli saw her, she hurriedly bowed like her. When Wanxin saw Jinli's actions, she knew that this person must be Lingxi, the queen's confidant.

"I didn't expect you to be so sincere. If I let the prince stand outside again, wouldn't it be wrong? Please come in, and the queen will arrive later." Lingxi decided to observe Wanxin's actions early today. She saw too many people who were standing in front of the queen and carrying another side on her back. So when Wanxin said such words outside the door, Lingxi was a little surprised. If this prince was not really a person who was honest and honest, she would be someone who was so cunning that she could no longer test it. Lingxi was more incest and more indifferent to the latter.

"How dare you ask what your aunt is called?" Wan Xin asked as if she didn't know Lingxi.

"The county lord dare not. My servant is Lingxi. The county lord just calls me Lingxi. The queen all calls me Lingxi." Lingxi stared at Wan Xin's eyes. She saw that the person with this set of eyes must not be ordinary people.

"Auntie is an elder. How can Wanxin directly call her aunt's name? It is better to call her aunt respectfully." Wanxin looked at Lingxi without mind. Her dazzling black eyes were calm and clear, which made Lingxi stunned.

"The prince is here for a while, and the queen will arrive later."

"I'm sorry, aunt." Wan Xin had already noticed Lingxi's test of her, and she felt a little tired. She really couldn't take it lightly at this moment. I couldn't tell when someone would give it a try.

Wan Xin came to the front of the cunt, slowly knelt down, folded his hands together, and looked up at the Buddha in front of her. Her face was calm, as if she had really begun to worship the Buddha, and her heart was asking the Buddha loudly why those evil people who did evil have not received the punishment they deserved. Those officials who oppressed the people still live a peaceful life? But ordinary people have to eat and not fill their stomachs?

Just as Wan Xin was talking to the Buddha intently, there was a person behind him. Although Wan Xin had already noticed it, he did not look back. He still closed his eyes and muttered something.

"Who am I supposed to be? I am not a county lord? I really amazed at the sight of my palace when I sincerely worshipped the Buddha so early."

Wan Xin frowned slightly. She could already hear that the person behind her was not the Empress, but the Concubine Cao whom she didn't want to see the least. There was a difference in identity and status, so Wan Xin had to get up and salute, "Concubine Cao was already, I was just accompanying the Empress to worship Buddha and pray for blessings. If you want to say that the Empress is still the Empress, Wan Xin dared not boast about herself."

"Oh, this is a good skill in flattery. Yesterday I was sharp-tongued, why is this little mouth as sweet as honey today?" Concubine Cao hit a nail in the emperor's place yesterday. When the emperor heard her speak up, he left without even staying in her bedroom.

This was the first time that the emperor had turned around and left after so many years in the palace. Concubine Cao was so angry that she didn't sleep all night. The next day, she came to the queen early. Who knew that the queen was not there, and the damn Chen Wanxin was kneeling here very well.

"When I returned to the Imperial Concubine, Wan Xin did not flatter me, just seek truth from facts. Wan Xin only had a few days to worship Buddha, while the Empress was every day. Wan Xin admired..."

"Okay, okay, don't tell me these nice things, keep them and tell the queen. She will not eat this set of her. I will tell you, don't think that if you recite a few words of Buddha, the Buddha will protect you. I want to see who is better." Concubine Cao raised her hand and pinched Wanxin's chin, making Wanxin unable to move. Wanxin originally wanted to break free, but her after seeing a slight point of her skirt entering the hall, she gave up struggling and looked at the ferocious Concubine Cao with tears in her eyes.

"I don't understand what my sister said. Can anyone be more powerful than Buddha?" The queen's sharp voice sounded behind Concubine Cao.

Concubine Cao was frightened and instantly let go of her restraint against Wan Xin, and immediately changed into a smile, "Sister, why are you not moving at all?"

"It's not that I have no movement, but that my sister is too focused. I want to hear, how worshiping Buddha has turned into flattery? Now there are so many people in the world who are dedicated to Buddha. Could it be that they are flattering me?" The Empress had already heard every word from Concubine Cao. "I really didn't expect that this Buddhist practice would become like this in the eyes of my sister." The Queen gradually felt dissatisfied and asked sternly.

Concubine Cao knelt down on the ground with a thud, "My sister is just talking nonsense for a while. Don't be surprised if there are many sisters."

Concubine Cao knelt on the ground and shivered, as if she was really scared, but Wan Xin felt that things were not that simple, and she had already smelled the scent of conspiracy.

"Okay, get up." The queen was too lazy to deal with Concubine Cao, who was unreasonable, just wanted to send her away quickly.

"My sister has something to ask for her." Concubine Cao did not get up and looked at the queen pitifully.

The corner of the queen raised her lips and smiled slightly, "Sister, put away the tricks you used to deal with the emperor quickly. I won't eat this one."

Concubine Cao, who was suddenly defeated, felt a little embarrassed, but immediately covered it with a smile, "See what my sister said, I can't deal with the emperor, but my sister suddenly felt that my sister taught me a lesson, so my sister had an unsuccessful love. Since the Xiliang County Lord has such a Buddha root, my sister is also like learning to worship Buddha. I wonder if my sister can lend me the County Lord to me for a day? Let her take me to understand the Dharma?"
