A few days later, the Empress Dowager, who had been living in the Buddhist hall for a long time, returned to the palace with a large number of maids and eunuchs.

As the head eunuch, Hua Liuyu was still very busy despite being injured.

In the Tianding Hall, the bright yellow figure sitting on the main seat smiled broadly when he saw the strange way the handsome man walked, "Liu Yu, now you have got what you wanted. However, for a woman, you have to pay so much.

Is it worth it?”

"It's worth it!" Hua Liuyu said without hesitation: "As long as I can be with her, I won't hesitate to give everything!"

Life, even soul...

At this time, some familiar scenes flashed into Hua Liuyu's mind.

"Oh! I didn't expect you to fall in love and be so infatuated." Xiao Dingming didn't understand this. For him, just by hooking his fingers, there would be all kinds of women to serve him.

Hua Liuyu concealed her emotions, stepped forward, and asked tentatively: "I wonder what the emperor's attitude is towards Concubine Wen?"

"She? She has many tricks, and I feel comfortable taking care of her." Xiao Dingming's handsome face showed a look of satisfaction.

Hua Liuyu's eyes flashed slightly and he continued to ask: "What about other than that?"

Hearing that something was wrong, Xiao Dingming turned to look at him and frowned, "Did she commit something?" Otherwise, he would not have this attitude.

Hua Liuyu looked solemn as he told the story of Yongying's assassination, "My servant has not yet thoroughly investigated this matter. However, I hope the emperor can take precautions."

Hearing this, Xiao Dingming's face turned extremely ugly, "You can just handle business matters. She is just a plaything, and I won't ruin my reputation because of her."

The word plaything completely reassured Hua Liuyu.

At sunset, a sumptuous banquet was served in the imperial garden, which could accommodate tens of thousands of people.

The concubines, courtiers, and women all came to the banquet and sat down one after another.

Xiao Dingming had not yet taken his seat, but when he saw the table full of delicacies, he frowned slightly, obviously very unhappy about this.

Hua Liuyu whispered softly, "This is the Queen Mother's idea. Your Majesty, please bear with it for now."

"Huh! You don't keep the good Buddhist hall, but the treasury is reduced as soon as you return to the palace. You are really a good mother of mine." Xiao Dingming walked inside with a livid face.

Hua Liuyu followed closely behind.

"See you, Your Majesty!" Everyone knelt down.

Xiao Dingming raised his hand, "Pingshen! I am not the protagonist today. This feast is also held for the Queen Mother. You can just eat and have fun with her."

Everyone thanked him and stood up to take their seats.

At this time, a enchanting figure dressed in dazzling clothes slowly walked towards this side.

"I see you, Your Majesty!" Wen Heng'er walked up to Xiao Dingming, with a look of resentment and sadness in his eyes, "Your Majesty, why have you ignored me these past few days? I'm sorry, I have been looking forward to your visit.

.”

When Xiao Dingming saw her, a gloomy look flashed in his eyes, "How presumptuous! Where am I going? Do you need to ask more questions?"

The emperor became angry, and everyone knelt down and begged the emperor to calm down.

Wen Heng'er was stunned, and then, with tears in his eyes, he pitifully asked, "Your Majesty, did I do something wrong? Why did you treat me like this?"

In the past, this trick had always worked, but this time the man in front of her didn't even look at her and walked away.

Wen Heng'er's face turned pale instantly.

Has she fallen out of favor?

"Concubine De, you have always managed the affairs of the harem. You will have to pay more attention in the future." Xiao Dingming walked to Concubine De and held her hand in her disbelieving eyes.

Concubine De's face was full of excitement and her eyes were red, "I thought you no longer need me."

"No." Xiao Dingming took her hand and walked to the main seat, asking her to sit aside.

Wen Heng'er stood in the middle, at a loss.

All the concubines could not stand Wen Heng'er's arrogance for a long time, and now everyone was watching the fun.

Wen Heng'er gritted her teeth and hid her resentment in her heart. Immediately, a smile appeared on her face and she walked to the seat next to her.

After the small interlude, the Queen Mother walked towards this side, surrounded by her maids.

"See the Queen Mother, a thousand years old, a thousand years old."

Everyone knelt down and worshiped again.

The Queen Mother, who was over fifty years old, was dressed in a golden and red phoenix robe, with various red hairpins in her hair, and she was very grandly dressed.

Xiao Dingming had no expression on his face, stepped down from the throne, knelt down and said, "My son, please see your mother."

"Get up." The Queen Mother's expression was indifferent, and she seemed to dislike him very much.

The two of them sat on the main seat together, and Concubine De sat under Xiao Dingming.

"The Ai family is coming back today, don't bother to come to the emperor." The Queen Mother looked sideways at the man beside her.

Xiao Dingming replied: "The Queen Mother prays for the country and stays in the Buddhist temple for a long time. Naturally she will have a big feast when she returns to the palace."

The Queen Mother frowned and stopped looking at him. She looked down at the guests sitting in two rows of seats, glanced at the palace maid aside, and said, "Where is Concubine Leng? Why didn't you see her?"

The palace maid looked nervous and replied: "Back to the Queen Mother, Concubine Leng is in the cold palace."

Hearing the conversation between the two, Xiao Dingming's face seemed to be covered with frost, "What does this mean, Queen Mother? Leng made a mistake and has been deprived of her position and demoted to the cold palace."

"Made a mistake? I wonder what mistake Leng Fei made? To make the emperor so angry that he would kill her directly."

There was anger in Xiao Dingming's eyes, "The Queen Mother stretched her hand too far. This is a matter for my harem."

"The Ai family is the emperor's mother and concubine. Can't you even ask the concubine?" The queen mother didn't look good either.

The two masters were at war with each other, and everyone sitting below was frightened.

After a moment, Hua Liuyu gently pulled Xiao Dingming, and then saw the frost on his face fade away, and the smile returned, "The Queen cares so much about the Leng family, Liuyu, go and have someone bring her."

"Yes!" Hua Liuyu retreated.

Seeing that Xiao Dingming had relented, the Queen Mother looked much better, "It's not that the Ai family is sincerely at odds with the emperor, it's just that Concubine Leng has always abided by her duties and never made a mistake. The emperor can't cripple her even if he catches her once.

Not even given a chance."

"Yes, I was negligent," Xiao Dingming said with a dark light in his eyes.

The Queen Mother felt relieved when she saw that he had a good attitude in admitting his mistake, "She knew that the Ai family had returned to the palace, and she specially carved a portrait for the Ai family, which was engraved with densely packed scriptures."

After saying that, he asked the palace maid to bring it over.

Xiao Dingming glanced at the exquisitely crafted figure with scriptures engraved on it, and snorted in his heart.

No wonder the Queen Mother wanted to help him, it turned out that it took a lot of effort.

"What does the emperor think of this carving?" The Queen Mother seemed to like this figure very much, holding it in her hand and looking at it carefully.

Xiao Dingming replied perfunctorily: "It's indeed good. Mr. Leng is serious about it."

"Then the emperor shouldn't give her a chance? After all, the husband and wife have been indebted to each other for a hundred days. In the past, the Leng family never fought for it. Now it is inevitable to be confused for a while. Let this matter go." The Queen Mother spoke.

Xiao Dingming could only agree and immediately restored Leng Qiushui's position and let her move into Shuiling Palace again.

Leng Qiushui was demoted many times and reinstated many times.
