The next day, Yunluan brought the incense he had just made and stepped into Changxin Palace.

It has been nearly half a year since I came to Changxin Palace last time, and Changxin Palace is still as quiet as usual. Compared with Weiyang Palace, it seems more solemn and dignified, but it is less vigorous and a little dusk.

Following the palace maids stepping into Changxin Hall, Yunluan respectfully leaned over and kneeled down, "Yunluan bowed to the Empress Dowager, and the Empress Dowager Changle Wuji."

Empress Dowager Dou sat upright in the hall, her eyes staring forward emptyly.

"Yun Luan is here, come forward."

Yun Luan responded, got up and knelt on the side of Empress Dowager Dou's desk. "Yun Luan brought the newly made jade fragrance, and I hope the Empress Dowager can like it."

Empress Dowager Dou nodded and smiled, "Okay, Yun Luan's craftsmanship has always been at ease, Chu Yan."

Chu Yan next to him stepped forward, "Yun Shangyi, give it to me."

Yun Luan handed Chu Yan the box containing Yu Huaxiang, "Thank you for your hard work, Aunt Chu Yan."

Chu Yan smiled at her and held the box down. Soon only Empress Dowager Dou and Yun Luan were left in the hall, and they became silent for a moment.

Yun Luan naturally understood that the Empress Dowager would never really just want the Yuhuaxiang she made, otherwise she would not have made a special trip to Changxin Palace.

"Yun Luan." After a while, Empress Dowager Dou spoke.

"Yes, the Empress Dowager."

Empress Dowager Dou asked with a smile: "Did Gillian have a good relationship with His Majesty during this period?"

Yun Luan was a little embarrassed for a moment. The relationship between Empress Chen and the Emperor was only bad and even worse. At least Yun Luan had never had a good time in the time she knew.

Or there were also cases when the emperor was still the crown prince and Empress Chen was still the crown prince, but those time seemed to be gone forever.

Empress Dowager Dou obviously understood this and sighed deeply.

At this moment, the old man in front of him seemed no longer the empress dowager who was arrogant in the Han Empire, but an ordinary woman who was worried about her descendants.

"I didn't think that Piao'er wanted A Jiao to marry Rong'er back then, but I didn't think so... I'm afraid that we would hurt A Jiao in the end."

Yun Luan had a vague headache. Of course, she knew who Rong'er was mentioned by the Empress Dowager. Liu Rong, the first prince of Emperor Jing, was born to Mrs. Li.

It is reported that at first, Taizhu Dou wanted to marry his daughter to Liu Rong, but was rejected by the arrogant Mrs. Li. Later, Taizhu Dou held a grudge and cooperated with the Queen Mother to defeat Mrs. Li and Liu Rong, and persuaded Emperor Jing to make his son the crown prince today, and the condition was to marry Chen Ajiao as the crown prince.

But why did the Empress Dowager tell her this at this time?

She is just a little female official, what's the use of telling her about these things?

"Mrs. Wei is very favored by His Majesty recently?" Empress Dowager Dou asked suddenly.

Yun Luan was stunned and immediately replied: "Madam Wei just gave birth to a little princess, and Your Majesty often visits the princess and Madam Wei."

Empress Dowager Dou nodded, "Your Majesty is already twenty years old, and there is only one woman. It is worth paying attention to it."

This is what Queen Chen is most responsible for the most. The emperor only has one daughter in his early twenties. It is not that the emperor cannot give birth, but that the empress cannot give birth. The emperor has no son, which is a major event that can almost shake the country's fortune. In this matter, even the Empress Dowager cannot stand on Empress Chen's side.

Empress Dowager Dou asked, "Apart from Mrs. Wei, Yun Luan thinks that Your Majesty usually likes those people?"

Yun Luan lowered her eyes and thought for a while, "Every beauties in the palace have their own strengths, and Your Majesty has always been generous to the concubines." This is not Yun Luan deliberately perfunctory the Empress Dowager, but the emperor really only has the same amount of rain and dew. He can praise the concubines he likes, and once he loses favor, the emperor can immediately abandon him without any mercy and never meet again.

Being favored today and falling out of favor tomorrow is normal, and no one dares to say that anyone is really favored.

In contrast, Yun Luan even felt that the emperor was special in treating Empress Chen.

Special, disgusting.

"I heard... Your Majesty had intended to match Yun Luan and Mrs. Wei's younger brother?" Empress Dowager Dou said suddenly.

Yun Luan was shocked and soon calmed down again.

This was already last year's incident, and the emperor never mentioned it again. But it was not surprising that the Empress Dowager in Xuanshi Hall would know about it. It was only after so long that Yun Luan suddenly mentioned it.

"Because Yunluan and Lord Wei had some old friends, His Majesty joked for a moment, which made the Empress Dowager laugh." Yunluan said respectfully.

The Empress Dowager smiled and said, "Old old, old old is good. Lord Wei is highly valued by His Majesty. With him taking care of Yun Luan in Xuanshi Hall, you should be more comfortable. Yun Luan has been with Laozi for several years. Why not be as a favor and marry you and Lord Wei? It would be decent to marry Yun Luan like this."

Yun Luan didn't say anything. She dared to reject the emperor but did not dare to easily reject the Empress Dowager.

At this moment, she couldn't help but quickly ponder in her heart, what exactly should the Empress Dowager do?

I wanted to marry her and Wei Qing for no reason. Could it be that I wanted to alienate Wei Qing and the Emperor?

But is this necessary?

The emperor has not yet taken power, and Wei Qing is just a small Taizhong doctor. The Wei family has indeed risen but is still far from being prominent.

"Yun Luan?" After not hearing Yun Luan's answer for a long time, Empress Dowager Dou's empty eyes turned to her.

Even though she knew that Empress Dowager Dou couldn't see it, Yun Luan couldn't help but feel tight in her heart and hurriedly bowed, "Yun Luan thanked the Empress Dowager for grace, but His Majesty was just a joke that day. Now Mrs. Wei and Lord Wei are highly valued by His Majesty. I'm afraid that Your Majesty and the Wei family have long had their ideas when it comes to marriage. Yun Luan refused that day, if today... Yun Luan was really ashamed."

The emperor would never want his confidant to marry someone that the Empress Dowager values. Even if the Empress Dowager really gives the marriage, it is probably difficult to achieve the goal that the Empress Dowager hopes to achieve.

Empress Dowager Dou was not angry either, but just sighed softly and said, "Forget it, you go."

Yun Luan immediately breathed a sigh of relief and leaned over to bid farewell to the Empress Dowager.

When Yun Luan went out, Chu Yan walked out of the palace, "The Empress Dowager, didn't you say before... why did you want to give Yun Shangyi a marriage?"

Empress Dowager Dou shook her head and said, "Your Majesty rejects the people of Changxin Palace. It is Your Majesty who can survive in Xuanshi Palace. If she is asked to approach the emperor, there will be only a dead end."

Chu Yan didn't care about Yun Luan's life or death. "Yun Shangyi's color is very good. Is Your Majesty really not moved?"

Empress Dowager Dou smiled and said, "Isn't Gillian a good color?"

Chu Yan was silent. Empress Chen was also an extremely beautiful woman. For example, Mrs. Wei, the most popular in the palace, was even more called Mingyan and charming. It is said that the emperor likes colors, but he can ignore such beauties.

Empress Dowager Dou sighed and said, "Besides... Gillian's temperament is probably not able to fight Yun Luan. She doesn't have many days, and she can't watch her every day. Why bother to give her more enemies?"

"Yun Luan is just a female official, how dare she be an enemy of the queen?"

Empress Dowager Dou smiled and said, "Is my original identity higher than Yun Luan now? That Mrs. Wei is even more..." But Yi Ge, the queen can't do anything to her now.

Chu Yan frowned and said worriedly, "The Empress Dowager, where is the Queen..."

Empress Dowager Dou said in a deep voice, "You go find Meiren Chen."

Chu Yan nodded, and Empress Dowager Dou sighed, "The children of Lao Shi love Wu'er and Piao'er the most, but Jiao'er is the ones who are most worried about. Wu'er went there early, and his child Lao Shi has also been placed for him. Now... they always have to make good plans for Jiao."

Chu Yan comforted softly, "The Empress Dowager is relieved, and Your Majesty is not a person who doesn't miss the old love."

Queen Mother Dou said, "I hope this is the case."
