Chapter 929
This was the first time Zhong Jie couldn't sit still at Shanshui Residence.
——
The Imperial Palace.
After Consort Jing was demoted to the rank of Noble Lady, she could no longer hold a principal position in a palace and had to be moved to another palace.
After all, she had lived a life of luxury for so many years, and after the move to the palace, she found everything unpleasant to look at. Sitting in her room, she never imagined that this day would come.
Consort Qu... no, she should be called Consort Xi now.
Consort Xi actually had such cunning, stabbing her in the back like that!
You really can't judge a book by its cover.
It's laughable that she was cautious her whole life, only to be betrayed by her own people in the end.
Consort Jing took a deep breath, but it couldn't quell the resentment in her heart.
"How is Consort Xi now?"
The palace maid said cautiously, "Consort Xi... is also busy moving palaces."
However, Consort Jing was moved to a lower-ranking palace, while Consort Xi was moved to a better one.
"......knew."
In the same palace, the atmosphere was deathly still in Consort Jing's quarters, while Consort Xi's palace was filled with joy.
The palace she has moved to is much larger and more spacious than before, and more importantly, it is closer to the emperor.
Just as the palace servants were busy at work, the emperor arrived.
"His Majesty!"
The palace servants all knelt down to pay their respects. After Consort Xi curtsied, she rushed towards the emperor.
The emperor took the person into his arms and couldn't help but laugh out loud: "So happy?"
"Yes, Your Majesty, this palace is so grand and beautiful! I love it!"
"I'm glad you like it."
It was worth it for the emperor to personally come out and take a walk before deciding on this place for her.
Seeing Consort Xi clinging to him and refusing to leave, the Emperor's smile deepened: "Alright, alright, how old are you? Why don't you know how to be so coquettish?"
“What is there to worry about? I love Your Majesty.”
Consort Xi spoke with righteous indignation.
The emperor's smile never faded.
However, there were too many people outside, including palace maids, eunuchs, and guards, so the emperor took Consort Xi into the palace.
Upon entering the room, the emperor's eyes lit up again.
Consort Xi has loved those little trinkets since she was a child. Although they may not be very luxurious, they are exquisite and make the palace even more outstanding when decorated with them.
“These are all common trinkets found in the countryside. Even though I’ve entered the palace, I still think about them, so I asked someone to go out and buy them for me,” Consort Xi said somewhat nervously. “Your Majesty, this… is it in accordance with the rules?”
Seeing her nervous little face, the emperor pulled her into his arms: "Of course it's fine, it's just a few small things, your happiness is the most important thing."
He had never seen these things before.
Only then did Consort Xi finally breathe a sigh of relief.
"By the way, Your Majesty, I have another request."
Consort Xi took the emperor's arm and sat down to the side.
"What?"
"Your Majesty... wishes to see your mother and younger brother."
A dark glint flashed in Consort Xi's eyes.
She wanted to see for herself whether what Huo Zhao said was true.
I thought I would have to persuade him quite a bit, but to my surprise, the emperor nodded very readily: "Perfect timing. Now that you've been made a concubine, I was just wondering what to give you. Since you've asked, I'll issue an edict to summon your mother and brother to the palace."
Consort Xi concealed the complex expression in her eyes, looked up and smiled: "Thank you, Your Majesty!"
