As soon as Yin Ji entered Changxin Palace, he smelled the fragrance of powder and felt a little annoyed.
Last night, he didn't sleep well thinking about Cai Tianxi's words "drive crazy". Although he thought there was nothing wrong with this, he was inexplicably irritated all day.
Now that he was being framed like this, he became even more unhappy, but he could only endure it.
He walked into the inner hall, and sure enough, there was not only the Queen Mother, but Huipin was also there. He doesn't know what she said, but she made the Queen Mother laugh non-stop.
The Queen Mother was Huipin's great-aunt. According to this generation, she should call Yin Ji her cousin.
But in the face of power, human relations must also give way.
He bowed and saluted: "Greetings to the Queen Mother."
Huipin turned her head as if startled and quickly knelt: "Your Majesty, I pay my respects to you."
The Queen Mother smiled kindly on her majestic face: "Your Majesty, please get up. It's a coincidence today. Huipin came to visit me, so I asked her to have dinner with me. It will be more lively with more people."
Although he knew it was impossible to be a coincidence, Yin Ji still didn't expose it. He smiled and replied: "It is indeed a coincidence. I haven't seen Huipin for a while. I was almost dazzled when I saw her."
Huipin was born with a heroic spirit. Different from the agility of Concubine Yue, the gentleness of Concubine Zhuang and the frailty of Liangpin, she was very straightforward. When she heard Yin Ji praising her like this, she grinned and laughed: "Your Majesty, don't lie. My appearance is not as good as my sisters. I am the ugliest among the four of us."
The Queen Mother looked at her with a reproachful look, but couldn't help laughing: "How can you be so self-deprecating? How can we only look at the appearance of the girls of our Xun family?"
Huipin laughed heartlessly: "Even if she looks worse than others, we can't praise her, right? Queen Mother, when are we going to eat? My stomach is growling."
The Queen Mother seemed helpless, shook her head and laughed: "Forget it, the emperor is here, let's serve the meal."
As she spoke, she glanced at Yin Ji and saw that he was in a daze. She thought that he was interested in a woman like Xun Chengjun (Huipin), and a smile flashed in her eyes.
Yin Ji was indeed new. He was the most unfamiliar with Huipin among the four daughters. He had never heard of her before, otherwise she would not have been given the title of "Hui". Such a personality really didn't match the word.
But it was just a decoration anyway, so it didn't matter.
He followed the Queen Mother to the dining hall. It was obvious that the Queen Mother had put a lot of effort into this meal. Most of the dishes were Yin Ji's favorites, and there were even specialties from Lanling.
But he knew that the other party had other purposes, so no matter how good it tasted, he still found it tasteless.
The Queen Mother gave Xun Chengjun a look, signaling her to pour wine for the emperor.
That wine was not ordinary wine. Yin Ji knew it as soon as he smelled it. Although he didn't have to drink it, he would refuse the Queen Mother's proposal later, so he had to give face to her.
Not only did he have to give face to her, but he was afraid that he would have to send Huipin back to Jiuhua Palace today.
He was getting more and more unhappy in his heart, but he didn't show it on his face. Since he had ascended the throne, he had to keep this position. Before he had the ability to not be constrained by all parties, he would endure what he should endure.
