Only fairies have an everlasting beauty.
Madam Liu said, "Ms. Shen lives in Donghua Mountain. I think the mountain is full of spiritual energy, so her appearance has not changed at all."
The Queen was worried and rubbed her temples wearily. The faces of Shen Wei's three children appeared in front of him again, each of them was well-behaved, lively and healthy. The emperor looked at Leyou with eyes full of fatherly love.
The two boys were strong despite their young age and were not afraid of big occasions.
The queen became alert.
Chen Wei has two sons. If the emperor passes the throne to one of them in the future... the queen doesn't dare to think about it.
She must suppress Shen Wei and find a way to get rid of Shen Wei's child. The Queen thought for a moment and told Aunt Liu, "In two days, have Shen bring her three children to pay their respects to me."
Nanny Liu was distressed. Was the Queen planning to attack Shen Wei again?
Nanny Liu advised again and again, but the queen refused to listen. The Shen family is not someone you can easily deal with. Don't mess with them!
Madam Liu could only say, "My Lord, I have sent someone to inquire about this matter. The Queen Mother likes the three children and has taken them all to the Cining Palace."
With the Queen Mother's care, who in the palace would dare to lay a hand on Shen Wei's child? If the queen wants to see Shen Wei’s child, she has to go to the Cining Palace herself.
The queen was furious and clenched the jade Buddhist beads in her hand: "My mother is really confused! I am the emperor's legitimate wife. My mother doesn't care about the legitimate grandson, but likes a child born by a concubine."
Nanny Liu lowered her head and said nothing.
The Queen asked again: "The Emperor has not yet given Shen a title, where will Shen be placed tonight?"
Madam Liu replied: "Yongning Palace."
The queen clenched her Buddhist beads, her heart invaded by jealousy: "The emperor actually gave her the Yongning Palace. It seems that General Shen Mieyue is really proud."
Nanny Liu poured another cup of tea and presented it to the Queen. The queen did not touch the teacup, her fingers unconsciously pinching the Buddhist beads.
Since moving into Kunning Palace, the empress almost stopped burning incense and worshipping Buddha, and she also had no habit of counting Buddhist beads. Today, Shen Wei returned to the palace with her three children in a high-profile manner, and the queen felt inexplicably frightened.
She couldn't help but pinch her Buddhist beads again.
The queen's eyes were filled with coldness. She said in a shrill voice, "I have been the queen for three years, and even Lu Xuan couldn't suppress me, let alone a newly arrived Shen. Madam Liu, let the maids in Yongning Palace keep an eye on Shen for me!"
Among the original palace maids in Yongning Palace, there were the Queen's spies. The queen must always be aware of the developments in Yongning Palace and not give Shen Wei a chance to turn things around again.
Nanny Liu sighed inwardly, thinking that the Queen would lose her mind every time she met Shen.
Some people are determined to throw themselves into a flame and cannot be persuaded.
...
Not only was the Queen wary of Chen Wei, but Consort Lu Xuan of Changxin Palace also felt like she was facing a formidable enemy.
As the sky gradually darkened, the setting sun faded away and the dark night engulfed. Lu Xuan sat by the window, took off the jewelry on the ends of her hair in front of the mirror, her brows furrowed.
The personal maid Xiaoqin came in and while removing Lu Xuan's makeup, she reported: "My Lord, Xiaoqi and the others have already found out. The Emperor has placed Shen in Yongning Palace, and Shen's three children live in the Empress Dowager's Palace. Tonight, the Emperor will stay in Yongning Palace."
Lu Xuan frowned: "The emperor seems to still have feelings for Shen."
Xiaoqin comforted her, "It's been a long time since we last met, and the emperor still feels fresh about Shen. Master, just wait and see. When the emperor's freshness wears off, Shen's favor will not be as good as yours. Master, you have been in the palace for two years, and you are the only one who has been favored by the emperor, and no one can match you."
Lu Xuan sighed slowly.
Yes, the emperor’s feelings for Shen were the freshness of a long-awaited reunion.
But if the emperor really liked Shen, why wouldn't he have given her a title until now? Therefore, the emperor's love is time-limited, and the emperor is never a person with long-lasting love.
Seeing the emperor favoring other women, Lu Xuan's heart still ached.
"That Shen really surprised me." Lu Xuan slowly pulled out the white jade hairpin from her hair. "She was born in a peasant family, and she is very pretty. She doesn't look like a woman who has given birth to three children. It's not an exaggeration to say that she is a virgin."
Before Lu Xuan gave birth to a child, she was the most beautiful woman in the harem. But after giving birth, she could clearly feel her beauty fading, her cheeks became thinner and her eyes became dull.
Even if you take a lot of beauty care drugs, you still can't make up for the lost youth.
Seeing the radiant Shen Wei today, Lu Xuan suddenly felt that she was overshadowed.
In fact, at first glance, Lu Xuan and Liu Ruyan are both more beautiful than Chen Wei. But Shen Wei has a kind of vitality from the inside out, full of vigor and vitality, like a tender bud breaking out of the soil in spring.
Xiaoqin said sullenly, "Master, why do you keep praising Shen? This only boosts others' ambitions and destroys your own prestige."
Lu Xuan smiled and poked the maid's forehead with her finger: "Only by recognizing the strengths of your opponent can you see your own weaknesses."
Xiaoqin nodded, not quite understanding.
Lu Xuan curled her lips and smiled: "Hold still for now. I want to see how capable the Shen family is."
...
...
On the other side, Eunuch Deshun personally led Shen Wei to Yongning Palace in accordance with the emperor's instructions.
"Yongning Palace? Isn't this where the emperor goes fishing?" Shen Wei was a little surprised.
The origin of Yongning Palace is unusual.
At the beginning, there was a clear pool here, named "Yongning Pool". Next to the pool is the Xuanming Hall where the emperor rested alone.
Whenever Li Yuanjing had some free time, he would go fishing in Yongning Pond to kill time. Later, he asked the Ministry of Works to build a spacious palace along the pond and named it "Yongning Palace".
Deshun smiled and said, "The emperor has already arranged everything and let the master live in Yongning Palace."
