Chapter 117

Chu Yanzi leaned in Emperor Yong's arms, with some pain in his eyebrows. Seeing the jar in Bai Hua's hand, he thought of where it came from, frowned, but couldn't help but feel nauseous. He didn't have time to think too much and nodded.

Bai Hua quickly took out two sour oranges from the jar and handed them to Chu Yanzi.

Chu Yanzi relaxed a little while smelling the sour and sweet smell. When Emperor Yong saw this, his eyes lit up. In the past few days, Chu Yanzi didn't say anything to eat, but even when he smelled the smell he didn't like, he would frown and turned pale. Now that he saw that she seemed to have a little appetite, Emperor Yong couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief.

Emperor Yong reached out to take the sour orange from Bai Hua's hand and handed it to Chu Yanzi's mouth. Chu Yanzi glanced at Emperor Yong with some aggrievedness, then opened his red lips lightly with his hand, and ate a little, and the sourness instantly filled the entire taste buds. Chu Yanzi frowned at first, making Emperor Yong, Bai Hua and others a little nervous, and was worried that she would vomit out the next moment.

But Chu Yanzi couldn't help but smile on her face. After that sourness, she suddenly felt a little appetite. She looked at Emperor Yong with a hint of light and said to Bai Hua.

"Give me two more."

Seeing that she didn't vomit any more after she had eaten, Emperor Yong felt completely relieved. Bai Hua also took two more for Chu Yanzi with joy. Emperor Yong asked Xiang Bai Hua, "What is this? But there is still?"

Bai Hua frowned at this time and quickly relaxed, "When you come back to the emperor, this is the sour orange sent by Rou Meiren before, only these two cans." Since this sour orange is useful to the Empress, Rou Meiren did a good thing.

Emperor Yong was surprised when he saw Bai Lu saying that this was actually sent by Rou Meiren, but this surprise was only a moment, and he quickly looked at Zhang Jin and said,

"You go to Shali Lingxuan to ask if there is any other sour orange. If there is one, bring it back."

After hearing Emperor Yong's words, Chu Yanzi stopped Zhang Jin, frowned, and spoke hesitantly, "Emperor, this sour orange is the kindness of the soft and beautiful mother. Isn't it a bit bad to be so compelling to others?"

"Hey!" Emperor Yong interrupted her immediately when he saw that she was still in the mood to care about others, for fear that she would feel guilty and would help Roumei softly in the future. He said, "I will naturally compensate her if I took her things, so Ayan doesn't have to worry."

Hearing the word compensation, Chu Yanzi glanced at Emperor Yong, but did not continue to stop him. The emperor's compensation was nothing more than promotion or reward. For the concubines, all they wanted was that. If they exchanged a few cans of sour oranges, Roumei would not suffer any loss.

Emperor Yong stroked Chu Yanzi's face. Her face was still pale, but she no longer frowned. As soon as her appetite opened, Chu Yanzi became a little hungry. She pulled Emperor Yong's sleeve and said softly,

"Your Majesty, I'm a little hungry."

In the past month, Chu Yanzi has been eating something for the sake of the child, so she forced herself to eat it. She vomited while eating and cried. This was the first time she said she was hungry this month. Emperor Yong was somewhat surprised and hurriedly ordered the palace servants beside her to go and pass on the meal.

Chu Yanzi drank the soup in her hand in a sip. In fact, she didn't expect that the sour oranges sent by Roumei that day were so effective. In fact, if the system had not fallen into a deep sleep again, why would she suffer so much? Thinking of the system, Chu Yanzi frowned. She didn't have much time left.

I don’t know if it’s a psychological effect, but since using the sour oranges sent by Rou Meiren, Chu Yanzi has no longer felt as uncomfortable as before. Because of this, Emperor Yong made Rou Meiren and became Rou Ronghua, the first to be promoted among the newly-entered palace concubines.

Emperor Yong seemed to have become stingy among this concubine. After three or four months of entering the palace, he did not even get promoted to a single position, which led to the empress dowager who only thought he was not satisfied with this concubine.

Similarly, because of the tangerine incident, when Roumei came to Jujiu Palace, Chu Yanzi couldn't drive her away anymore, even though Emperor Yong had already compensated her for this matter.

On the day of early February, Chu Yanzi felt that she was much better, so she went to Cihui Palace with everyone to pay her respects. After that, Concubine Yun called Chu Yanzi, and Chu Yanzi paused and looked over with some confusion.

"Sister, what's wrong?"

Concubine Yun approached her and looked at her carefully. Seeing that her face was still a little rosy, she smiled, and then said softly, "You are getting old now. Don't lie in the palace every day. When there is nothing to do, go out for a walk, and give birth will be smoother."

Chu Yanzi also understood the meaning of Concubine Yun, but she was worried that she was too lazy. She smiled and said softly, "Then so, my sister will accompany me for a walk."

Bai Hua held Chu Yanzi and walked little by little with Concubine Yun. Concubine Yun suddenly spoke, her tone was a little unclear, "There have been rumors in the palace recently. Are Concubine Zhen and Rou Ronghua very close?"

Chu Yanzi didn't feel anything when he heard Concubine Yun's words. He carefully held his waist with one hand, then chuckled and asked, "Sister believes this, too?"

"I used to see her running to Jujiu Palace, but I believed it a little. Now, it seems to be just a rumor." Hearing the rebuttal in her words, a smile flashed in Yun Fei's eyes, and then she remembered some of the things that happened recently, and thought it would be better to remind her.

"Father Zhen has felt a little uncomfortable since the Emperor's birthday. In order not to bother you, the people in your palace probably have not told you what happened in the palace recently."

Chu Yanzi glanced at Concubine Yun in surprise, and was a little confused. He couldn't help but ask, "What's interesting about me recently? I actually made my sister interested."

Concubine Rou stroked her black hair, pursed the smiley donkey's hoof on the corner of her lips, and then said, "After Bao Zhaoyi intercepted Bai Changzai's favor that day, the direction of the harem changed a little. Rou Ronghua and Bao Zhaoyi had a grudge. In this way, Shen Ronghua and Rou Ronghua had cooperated."

Chu Yanzi raised his eyebrows. These people had no shortage of scheming and favors. Compared to Bao Zhaoyi, the only one is Sacred Heart. He couldn't help but become curious about the things between them and asked with interest.

"How did they cooperate?"

Concubine Yun hooked up and walked to the pavilion of the Imperial Garden with Chu Yanzi. After sitting down, she replied, "How else can we cooperate? The most simple way to compete for favors. Today, I have a headache, tomorrow I have a heartache. As long as Emperor Yong goes to the Jiaofang Hall, there will be no rest for a day."

"Puchi--"

After thinking about that scene, Chu Yanzi couldn't help laughing. She had already loved watching the fun, but now she missed such a big show due to physical reasons. She felt quite regretful, but listening to it now, she could imagine the scene in the harem in the past few months.

"Hey, look--"

Hearing Yun Fei's voice, Chu Yanzi looked in the direction of her sign. The smile at the corner of her mouth remained unchanged, but her eyes became deeper. She picked up a piece of pastry on the stone table and took a tentative taste. The taste was quite light and acceptable. Then she looked up at the Imperial Garden.

It should be that Emperor Yong was not busy with the Heart Hall today. At this time, he was standing in the imperial garden with Bao Zhaoyi. The two of them were talking. Bao Zhaoyi's former noble face actually had a smile on his face, and Emperor Yong also had a smile on his face, but it seemed deep and shallow, and it was impossible to see through.

Concubine Yun asked Chu Yanzi to see, of course, not to see the two of them showing their love, but to stand on the other side of Emperor Yong and others. Now it was just February, and the weather was still cold, so Chu Yanzi also wrapped her cloak when she came out to pay her respects.

But the woman was wearing a simple white dress, not wearing a cloak, and a lotus hairpin was inserted diagonally on her hair. Without too much decoration, she looked even more delicate. This concubine was Rou Ronghua. She led her palace maid and walked slowly towards Emperor Yong.

Chu Yanzi moved his handkerchief to cover the corner of his slightly raised mouth. Unexpectedly, Concubine Yun had just told her that she had seen it with her own eyes. She couldn't help but ask, "Is this the beginning?"

There was a little amazement in his tone. It was indeed rare to compete for favor like this. Chu Yanzi had a wanton smile in his eyes, without any cover. It was obvious that Roronghua could not take Emperor Yong away, but just to add a barrier to Bao Zhaoyi. Looking at Bao Zhaoyi's slightly gray face, Chu Yanzi couldn't help but chuckled. Roronghua had achieved his goal.

The two people here were watching the show, but the people there didn't know that what they did was seen by others at this time.

Rou Ronghua could also feel a little cold, but she didn't care. Looking at the handsome man in front of her, a dark color flashed in Rou Ronghua's eyes. She was robbed of favor by Bao Zhaoyi when she was serving the bed for the first time that day. How could she forget about celebrating the festival like this?

Holding Lingyun's hand, he walked towards Emperor Yong and the others step by step, watching the smile on Bao Zhaoyi's face disappear, and then became slightly ashen. A smile flashed across the corner of Roronghua's mouth, looked at Emperor Yong weakly, and then saluted,

"I'm going to see the emperor and the empress!"

When Rou Ronghua walked over, the expression in Emperor Yong's eyes became deeper, but when she approached, she returned to nature and helped her up personally, looking at her body that seemed to be trembling, and said softly with pity on her face,

"It's still cold now, why did you come out wearing these?"

Listening to Emperor Yong's words of concern, Roronghua's face was covered with a hint of shame, and he leaned towards Emperor Yong without any trace, and said with a hint of timid shyness and a bit of embarrassment,

"I got up late today. I was afraid that it would be too late to pay my respects to the Empress Dowager. I was a little anxious and forgot about it."

After saying that, she seemed to think of something, her face turned red again, she approached Emperor Yong slightly, biting her lower lip tightly, which made people feel pity.

Seeing her appearance, Bao Zhaoyi's face turned cold. If she had been put before and saw Emperor Yong's appearance, she would have long since shook her sleeves and left, but she had learned a lesson. Although she had a deep face, she was just looking at Rouronghua's behavior coldly.

"Don't you ask the emperor to come?"

Listening to Concubine Yun’s meaningless words, Chu Yanzi just put down the pastry in his hand, retracted his gaze, and chuckled, "If he had the intention, he would always see me."

Concubine Yun calmed down the smile on the corner of her mouth and looked at Chu Yanzi's smile. Is this hurting and not believing in the emperor, or is it too trusting in the emperor?

After Emperor Yong helped Luo Yi up, he stopped talking to her. Just as he was about to retreat to Bao Zhaoyi, Yu Guang saw Chu Yanzi in the pavilion looking at the picture here, and paused. For some reason, he felt a little panicked in his heart. He turned his direction and walked directly towards the pavilion.

Luo Yi and Bao Zhaoyi were stunned by his actions. They did not react until they saw Chu Yanzi and Concubine Yun, and their faces changed slightly and followed Emperor Yong.

Seeing him walking over, the smile on Yun Fei's face remained unchanged, but his voice seemed to be a little colder, "The emperor is here, is Zhen Fei happy?"

"Sister is joking." With just this sentence, Chu Yanzi closed his eyes and stopped talking.

Concubine Yun tightened her handkerchief, then chuckled, looked at Chu Yanzi, stood up and went to welcome Emperor Yong.

Emperor Yong ignored Concubine Yun's salute and held Chu Yanzi, asking her not to get up. He reached out and touched her face. Seeing a little chill, he frowned unconsciously and spoke gently subconsciously.

"Why is Ayan here? Do you feel cold?"

Chu Yanzi looked around at the faces of all the concubines present before looking at Emperor Yong and replied softly, "I haven't relaxed for a long time. The weather is good today, so I took Concubine Yun for a while."

Emperor Yong nodded, then nodded to Concubine Yun over there, signaled her to get up, wrapped Chu Yanzi's cloak tightly, then sat beside her and talked to her, nothing more than whether the child had messed with her, Chu Yanzi answered them one by one.

Bao Zhaoyi's face suddenly turned cold and ice. Rouronghua could bear it for a while, but Chu Yanzi couldn't bear it. She felt Liu Yu suddenly support her behind her. Bao Zhaoyi paused, bit the tip of her tongue, and felt the pain before calming down.

"I haven't walked out of Jujiu Palace for a long time. I didn't expect that Bao Zhaoyi also likes to visit the Imperial Garden now." When talking about the family tone, Chu Yanzi still smiled slightly and the topic changed and directly touched Bao Zhaoyi.

Before Bao Zhaoyi could reply, Luo Yi, who was behind, took a step forward, as if she had a true smile, and owed to Chu Yanzi, "If I knew that the Empress was here, I would have come here to ask for a cup of tea earlier."

There was familiarity in his words, and Chu Yanzi did not react too much. She looked like this just for the emperor to see, but the emperor had to believe it. Chu Yanzi remembered that Emperor Yong asked him to stay away from Rou Ronghua that day, and covered her mouth and chuckled.

"It's not too late to come now."

Seeing that Chu Yanzi actually replied to her, Luo Yi's eyes lit up and she seemed to walk towards Chu Yanzi with some joy.

Bao Zhaoyi glanced at the two of them and saw that Chu Yanzi seemed to be really having a good relationship with Luo Yi. She had some ideas in her mind, and then she spoke coldly, "I'm free in the palace and I'm out for a walk with the emperor."

Chu Yanzi didn't care about this vague squeezing words, but Emperor Yong frowned almost without checking it, looked at Bao Zhaoyi, but saw Bao Zhaoyi looking at him coldly. Emperor Yong retracted his gaze, took a walnut on the table, knocked it open easily, and handed it to Chu Yanzi.

At this time, Bao Zhaoyi had already sat down. Looking at Emperor Yong's actions, his eyes turned cold again.

Today seems to be a good day. Not only did she meet the emperor in the Imperial Garden, but she also saw Concubine Yan, who was strictly protected by the empress dowager. She and Chu Yanzi were pregnant for about six months, but her face was rosy and looked much better than Chu Yanzi.

Concubine Yan was actually kept by the empress dowager for a while, and then the empress dowager told her to walk more. Then she slowly swayed back to the palace. She didn't expect to meet the emperor here and walked towards her with some surprise.

"I'm here to see the Emperor and all the ladies."

She came, with a big belly, and always had to sit down, but there were only four seats in the pavilion. Even Luo Yi was standing on one side. At this time, only Bao Zhaoyi was the lowest in the seat, but her position was much higher than that of Yan Guipin, so it was difficult for Bao Zhaoyi to get up. In fact, Bao Zhaoyi could not give up her seat.

Emperor Yong was also a partial person and said calmly, "Get up."

After Concubine Yan stood up, she looked around and seemed to have suggested that she supported her waist. Chu Yanzi's eyes were filled with a smile and said to the palace servant beside her.

"Go and add a seat to Concubine Yan and Rorong Hua."

If it weren't for her big belly, Chu Yanzi wouldn't have been in charge of this matter. As for Luo Yi, she would have just been there.
