C44 Give her a freedom

Was praising a woman's beauty offending her?

She couldn't understand it, but she was sure of one thing, High Priest was definitely a kind person.

"Mistress, High Priest has already gone far, should we also go back now?" Wen Qing and Wen Xing had been standing at the side, silently guarding their master.

"Alright, let's go as well."

Sighing, he got up and returned to the direction of the Western Palace Wenyuan Pavilion.

She had no chance to enjoy the beautiful scenery on the way here. She kept wondering in her heart, why was there such an anomaly in the High Priest?

In front of him was the Wenyuan Pavilion. Zhao Changde shouted loudly from behind him, "Beauty Lin, Beauty Lin, please hold your steps ?"

Hearing this voice, Cen Xue didn't need to turn her head to know that the old eunuch beside the man was calling her. She simply stood there waiting for him to come over.

Zhao Changde ran in front of her while panting heavily. He gave her a simple bow and said softly, "Your Majesty has an order.

"Xingqing Palace?"

Cen Xue had lived in the palace for more than two months, but she had never known where the Xingqing Palace was.

"Reporting to the beauties, Xingqing Palace is one of Your Majesty's chambers, and has never announced any concubines to sleep with him. Tonight, Your Majesty has set up a special banquet in the palace, so this old servant was specially ordered to come and inform the beauties." Zhao Changde bent his waist with a respectful look.

The young lady who paid respects to him that day, would never have thought that she would become the most beloved beauty in the Your Majesty today. He, Zhao Changde, would not easily offend any of the masters.

"Very well, I understand. However, who are you planning to invite for this special feast?" Cen Xue curiously asked him.

"In reply to beauties, there are only two people: General Yuwen and High Priest!" He answered simply.

Cen Xue nodded her head. It was just two people and it was alright. Furthermore, the High Priest was also there. With this woman here, he believed that she would be able to save some face for her and not make things difficult for her.

"You can leave. I'll go back and change my clothes. I'll come over later." In such a hot day, her body was sticky after strolling around outside. She had to go back and change clothes before she could go out again.

"Sure, it's still early. This old servant will come back for the beauty in four hours." After completing his mission, he quickly rushed back to the Imperial study to serve them.

When she went back to sleep, she would still have time to go back to the palace. When she was taking a nap, Wen Qing and the other palace maids had already prepared everything for her.

Cen Xue did not know how long she had slept, but she knew that Wen Xing was constantly calling her in her ears. He opened his sleepy eyes, as if he had just fallen asleep and was about to get up.

After changing into a set of clean clothes, she liked plain clothes herself, and Helian Zhi had also noticed this point. The clothes that were bestowed to her were made of a slightly lighter material, completely contrasting with her peaceful and pleasant personality.

Mingyue was the best at combing her hair, but Cen Xue's hair wasn't long. However, with Mingyue here, she could still dress up beautifully. She wore an emerald green toddler's shadow, which attracted everyone's attention.

"Mingyue, tell me, what's going on with the Xingqing Palace?" Zhao Changde knew too little about it, she had to do some homework first.

In reply to Master, Xingqing Palace is Your Majesty's private palace. In this imperial harem, without the permission of Your Majesty, no imperial concubine is allowed to enter Xingqing Palace, and even if Your Majesty is favoured by the imperial harem concubines, he would personally go to each palace and never summon them. Don't look at how favoured Imperial Concubine Hui and the Imperial Consort Xiao are, they have never been allowed to enter! Brightmoon gave a general introduction, and a proud smile appeared on her face as she spoke.

Now that the Your Majesty doted on the beauties, they would not be bullied anymore.

However, when Cen Xue heard these words, she felt chills run down her spine. 'Then he's letting her go tonight? What does that mean? Isn't this clearly saying that he wants her to make enemies in this harem?' Especially that Imperial Concubine Hui, she would definitely find trouble with him again, sigh ?

"This old servant Zhao Changde is waiting outside for the beauty." Just as he was talking, the old man's voice rang out from outside the door.

Right now, it didn't matter if she went or not. She wanted to find an excuse to not go. This old fellow was already outside the door. How unlucky!

Forget it, let nature take its course. There was a saying in the ancient text, "One should always be content with what one comes for." Since she couldn't avoid it, she could only brace her hair.

Zhao Changde waited outside the door, while Mingyue checked her again for the last time. After confirming that there were no flaws, she finally opened the door and supported her master out.

"Let's go ?" Cen Xue waved her hand and asked Zhao Changde to lead the way.

Cen Xue sat on a soft couch. There was some distance from Wenyuan Pavilion to Xingqing Palace and the Xingqing Palace was not located in the imperial harem. It was located in the southeast of the Imperial study so that the Your Majesty could handle the country's affairs.

After the soft couch left the Western Palace, it passed through the Imperial Garden and the Eastern Palace before finally arriving at the Xingqing Palace's palace. Zhao Changde ordered the Young Eunuch to carefully place the soft couch down so as to avoid harming the beauty.

The dog legs stepped forward to help Cen Xue down, then pointed at the majestic and gorgeous palace in front of them, "Beauty Lin, this is Your Majesty's Xingqing Palace."

"Oh, it is indeed extraordinary. As expected of the emperor!" Cen Xue raised her head and looked at the massive palace before her. Compared to her tiny Wenyuan Pavilion, it should be more than enough, right?

Walking forward, even the steps were meticulously carved with various kinds of patterns, it was hard to imagine just how magnificent it would be inside.

Entering the main hall, what entered his vision were two glittering hosts, from afar, he thought there were two golden chairs. Taking a look inside, otherwise, it turned out to be two ordinary yellow pear wood dragon and phoenix carved chair, why would there be a flash of golden light? It turned out that the seat cushion on the chair was embroidered with golden threads, causing it to reflect a golden light that was eye-catching.

The entire hall was exceptionally beautiful, even the ceiling beams were painted gold, and each piece of furniture could be seen to be priceless treasures. Fortunately, she studied living beings, so she wasn't interested in antiques, otherwise she might have thoroughly studied him.

Standing in the middle of the hall and scanning through it, he concluded that this place was not only luxurious, it was also luxurious ?

"What, you like Gu's palace?" Helian Zhi's voice came from behind her. The moment he walked into the hall, he saw her standing there in a daze.

Cen Xue turned around and looked at him with her usual prideful attitude, as if she didn't take this to heart at all.

"Is there anything special about this place? Apart from the spacious space, which is filled with golden paint, strings of gold, and a bunch of expensive antiques, I really can't see anything special about this place that's worth me liking. " Cen Xue replied without hesitation.

Cen Xue originally thought that he would be angry, but she didn't expect him to not be angry. Instead, he walked up to her with a smile on his face. However, in her eyes, his smile was too sinister, causing her hair to stand on end.

With one hand holding her slender waist and the other holding her lower jaw, Helian Zhi asked her with a smile. "You don't even like these things, you know that in this harem, no concubine can enter here, and you are the first!"

"I am very happy to have the honor, but, you asked me first just now, so of course I would not dare to lie to you, right? Otherwise, wouldn't I be lying to you?" Even though Cen Xue found it difficult to speak after being restrained by him like this, she still ended her sentence.

Helian Zhi did not say a word, he stared straight at her, and only after a long while did he let go of her chin, but he still did not let go of her arm.

"Do you know what Gu Jing likes about you?"

Cen Xue looked at him and shook her head. Who knew what he meant?

"Gu Jinlong likes your sweet blood, and that little mouth of yours that can't be flattered." After saying that, Helian Zhi lowered his head and even lightly kissed her lips.

If Ta He and Yu Wu didn't want to come over later, he would have definitely asked for her help. This little thing gave him a feeling that he wouldn't be able to eat his fill no matter how much he ate.

"High Priest has arrived ?"

Zhao Changde's voice came from outside the door, but the content of the words made Cen Xue extremely happy.

Helian Zhi also heard it. Although he was somewhat unwilling, he still released her and gave her a freedom.

A beautiful figure slowly walked in, and Shan Yuwu appeared before Cen Xue's eyes once again, as if they had met at noon today.

"Paying respects to Your Majesty ?"

"There's no need to be so courteous, just the few of us will be the same as before." When Helian Zhi faced Shan Yuwu again, his eyes could not help but reveal a touch of gentleness.

Shan Yuwu looked at Cen Xue who was standing beside Helian Zhi, smiled at her, and answered Helian Zhi's question, "Mmm, Tuo'er still hasn't arrived yet?"

"Let's sit for a while. He came in from outside the palace, of course he's not as fast as you." In the palace, a rectangular table had already been set up for the banquet. Helian Zhi waved his hand and quickly, Zhao Changde gave the order for the royal kitchen to serve the dishes.

Shan Yuwu walked in front of Cen Xue and smiled. He took the initiative to hold her hand and walk over to the table.

"General Yuwen has arrived ?"

Before he even sat down, Zhao Changde's usual voice rang out from outside the door.

"Speak of the devil and you're here..." "Hahaha ?"

As Helian Zhi laughed, he walked into the great hall in casual attire.

"Your Majesty has atoned for his sins, I have come late again." With a light smile on his face, Yuwen Tuo walked closer to them, step by step.

Cen Xue raised her head to look at the legendary General Yuwen. Just this glance was enough to almost cause her to stagger ?

Just as Helian Zhi was about to speak, Cen Xuexue, who was standing beside him, stepped in first ?

"Han Fei ?"

Cen Xue lifted her skirt and ran over, jumping into Yuwen Tuo's embrace. This action shocked everyone present, especially Helian Zhi and Shan Yuwu.

Yuwen Tuo was also stunned by this sudden scene. He opened his arms, but did not dare to touch her, and looked innocently at Helian Zhi and Helian Zhi.

"Han Fei, I didn't expect to be able to see you here, much less to think that you would have survived that disaster. I'm really very happy ?" "Han Fei ?" Cen Xue was so excited that she choked up, and the arms around him tightened.

Helian Zhi listened to the Han Fei she was talking about. Was it someone who looked exactly like Ta Ta?

"Beauty, I think you must have recognized the wrong person, right?" This humble Yuwen Tuo is not the Han Fei that you speak of. " Seeing that the other two did not say a word, Yuwen Tuo could only take care of it himself.

"Lin Cenxue, is there no loneliness in your eyes? You actually cuddled and hugged your brother in front of him. " When Helian Zhi's voice sounded again, it was no longer as gentle as before.
