The one who is resting is you

  Lin Xuan's face was naturally calm and collected, she stood up and walked towards the outer hall.

  It wasn't until a while later that I realized I hadn't kept up, so I turned around and said: "Yue'er, what's wrong with you?" Just looking at me with a shocked face as if still not reacting.

  What's up? Tang Guo came? I haven't had time to go find her, and she's already here?

  She wouldn't have come to settle scores with me, would she?!

  "Yu'er, T'ang Kuei Fei isn't a venomous snake or beast, why are you looking like you've seen a ghost?" Lin Hsuan-yen asked in puzzlement.

  I thought with some trepidation: Don't say that, when Tang Guo gets angry, she's even more ferocious than a venomous snake or a fierce beast!

  "Alright, alright! Even if it's a venomous snake or a ferocious beast, Sister Yan will help you block it. Let's go!" She said, pulling my hand and heading towards the outer hall.

  "Long live the Queen."

  "Take a seat." With Lin Xuan's order, Tang Guo Yi also sat down without any hesitation.

  I took advantage of this opportunity to take a glance at Tang Guo'er.

  The woman in front of her wore a bright red cheongsam and had on heavy makeup, she couldn't help but admit that she was very beautiful.

  But it's not the beauty I like.

  How to put it, she is now like Meng Guifei and many other concubines in the harem, heavily made up, and you can smell the fragrance of rouge before she even approaches. This kind of Tang Guni inevitably gives people a feeling of vulgarity. It's completely different from her previous self.

  I don't know how she spent this month in the palace.

  I was still lost in thought when Tang Gu spoke up: "Sister, you've come this time specifically to pay your respects to Eldest Sister. Incidentally, we should also discuss the Empress Dowager's birthday celebration three days from now."

  What's going on with the military? I don't know why, but these few words suddenly popped into my mind, and even scared myself.

  After a month's time, Tang Gu really changed a lot. She no longer spoke with her former simplicity and complete lack of defense. I even suspected that she had ulterior motives in what she said.

  Lin Xuan's expression was naturally not as complicated as mine, she just smiled slightly: "The Empress Dowager's birthday is a big deal, of course we can't be careless. My sister is also preparing gifts." One sentence completely blocked my way out. Lin Xuan wasn't the poor Empress who needed to defend her position in front of the Emperor, so she naturally didn't have time and energy to socialize with the concubines.

  But this time, the concubines seem a bit different in my eyes.

  I stood beside Lin Xuan's side, noticing Tang Guo's carelessness. Her eyes seemed to fall on me from time to time, but I couldn't tell what kind of emotions they carried.

  "By the way, just now my palace maid came back to report. She said she met the Prime Minister's wife and accidentally offended her. I'd like to apologize to the lady here on behalf of the Empress Dowager, please don't blame Her Majesty."

  "Oh, that palace maid was also careless, I don't mind it, and I think the Empress won't blame me either." I replied with a wry smile.

  It's a bit strange in my heart, is Tang Gu coming this time just for this trivial matter?

  Although, the palace maid's cry was quite mournful.

  Lin Xuan's expression also showed some impatience, and she asked straightforwardly: "Sister, what brings you here? Just say it directly."

  Tang Gu laughed and said, "Sister, you are indeed worthy of being the empress. The reason is that I know about the Empress Dowager's birthday, the Xuan Yue kingdom will send an envoy to present a special product from Xuan Yue, the cyan jadeite. The emperor's intention is that whoever presents the best birthday gift, the Empress Dowager will give the cyan jadeite to that person. What my sister means is, can you let me take one step ahead?"

  It's finally over, just a few hours ago, I still remembered that I said I would quit the online literature world if I didn't finish it. The ending is like this, and I'll come back to modify some sentences later, but the framework is already set, I guess I've fulfilled my promise~ I'm so happy that I finally kept my word! Don't say that the ending is bad QAQ, I'll come back to revise it and make it more elegant, and some descriptions were a bit abrupt... It was also quite rushed, and the reason for the hiatus was because school has been in session all along, otherwise I wouldn't have ended it so abruptly.
