Chapter 61(1/2)
The queen at the high position frowned. Since Yan Ping came to pay her respects for the first time, she has been a little dissatisfied with this Yan Ping. She originally intended to punish her to think about her mistakes behind closed doors, but she was allowed to hide for a month and take care of her baby.
Yan Ping walked in with a step, glanced at Chu Yanzi, and then saluted the queen slowly.
"I'm going to see the Empress, and the Empress will be lucky."
The queen was still gentle and generous, and she did not change her face because of her late arrival, and she even had a smile and care.
"Get up, you are pregnant with the emperor's heir now, so be careful."
"I thanked the Queen."
After slowly thanking him, Yan Pin Yan held Xueling's hand and sat under Yan Pin. He looked at Chu Yanzi opposite him and smiled, but he didn't say anything.
Chu Yanzi noticed her gaze, looked at her, raised her eyebrows lightly, and said in a slight tone,
"Is there anything wrong with Yan?"
Yan Lianyu's face froze and she looked at her with a smile.
"I was fascinated by the sight of Zhenshuyi as beautiful as a flower."
Chu Yanzi ignored this fake so much that he could not flatter him in fake way, and responded modestly.
"That book, I'll thank you for your praise from Yan."
Listening to the conversation between the two, the others were speechless. Yanpin had always had an objection to Yanpin, and at this moment he seemed to ask unintentionally.
"I heard that Yan sent someone to invite the emperor yesterday, but was rejected?"
Although I used questions, the ridicule in the words was not restrained at all.
Hearing this, the people in the palace looked at Yan Lianyu with a playful look.
Chu Yanzi was also a little surprised. Yesterday, after Emperor Yong arrived in her palace, she had been with Emperor Yong. After getting up today, it was not too early. She only heard Bai Hua say a message and rushed over to pay her respects. She didn't know that there would be such an incident.
No wonder I heard people talking about myself when I came to pay my respects today.
Yan Lianyu's face changed. She did not dare to be arrogant to Chu Yanzi, but it did not mean that she was afraid of a concubine Yan.
"Pin Yan can't serve the emperor, but she's leisurely,"
The implication is that Yanpin has meddled with other people's business.
Yanpin's eyes sterned. After looking at Yan Lianyu for a while, Yan Lianyu was not afraid. She looked at her, and there was a vague provocation in her eyes.
Yanpin thought of something and suddenly smiled, which made Yan Lianyu and the others stunned.
This Yanpin has always been bad-hearted. She should have been angry long ago when she was confronted like this on weekdays. Why did she suddenly laugh?
Yan Lianyu frowned at the appearance of Yanpin. I wonder why Yanpin is so calm today, not like the recklessness of the past.
Yanpin slowly smiled and said to Yan Lianyu,
"Pin Yan must keep the emperor's favor for you, otherwise...sneer!" Yan Ping did not finish her words afterwards, but everyone here knew what she meant.
"This is not a matter of trouble for Yanpin. Yanpin should take care of herself."
Yan Lianyu glanced at her and felt a little ridiculed. In terms of favor, Yanpin was much worse than herself, and she still had the time to worry about her favor.
Chu Yanzi looked at the two of them, and this time he looked at Yanpin for a second. I don’t know why she suddenly got enlightened. And what exactly did she mean? Could it be that she also knew that Yanpin’s favor was just a mere expression?
He glanced at Yanpin with a little confusion and then withdrew his gaze. However, Yu Guang saw that Shufei looked thoughtful, Chu Yanzi was stunned.
Compared with Yanpin Yan, Shufei is naturally more difficult to deal with, but if Chu Yanzi chooses, she is even more reluctant to face Yanpin. There is no other reason. The point of the empress dowager behind her makes Chu Yanzi extremely afraid.
The mother-son relationship between Emperor Yong and the Empress Dowager is closer than any royal mother-son she knew before. The Empress Dowager can sacrifice anything for the emperor, including her own mother's family. Similarly, Emperor Yong almost obeyed the Queen Mother's words.
If there is a conflict between her and Yanpin, which leads to the empress dowager having any objection to her, then when Emperor Yong pampers her, he always takes into account the empress dowager, which will be of no benefit to her task.
Chu Yanzi's eyes became darker, and fortunately, this Yanpin was not valued by Emperor Yong, otherwise she would have to spend a lot of effort to let the emperor give up her.
He looked at Yan Ping, who was facing Yan Ping, and frowned. She was really going further and further on the road to commit suicide. She had aroused so much hatred, and after the emperor gave up her, he didn't know what she would do.
"Enough."
The queen learned a lot of lessons from the last incident where Yan Ping pretended to faint. Now that she is pregnant, she can't do anything to her, otherwise she would pretend to have a stomachache and she wouldn't know who to judge her.
Ignoring Yan Pin, the queen said to everyone.
"Tomorrow is the emperor's birthday. There will be a banquet in the Hall of Supreme Harmony tonight. Don't make any mistakes at the state banquet and lose face of the royal family."
He paused at this point, looked at Yan Lianyu, which made Yan Lianyu frown before continuing,
"I know you still have to prepare for tomorrow's things, so I won't leave you, let's break up."
"I am honored to send the Empress to the Queen."
After the queen entered the inner room, and after Concubine Yun and Concubine Shu and other high-ranking concubines went out, Chu Yanzi held Miaoqin's hand and walked out.
"I'm so kind to send Zhen Shuyi."
Chu Yanzi was quite elegant today. He did not ride in the ceremonial guard and walked towards Jinhe Palace by himself.
When she passed by the Imperial Garden, she stopped and looked at the garden not as blooming as before, looking at the Miaoqin Trail.
"Let's go to the bamboo forest next to you."
The bamboo forest next to the Imperial Garden is evergreen all year round, and Chu Yanzi held Miaoqin's hand, which made her look very interesting.
After walking for a while, Chu Yanzi felt a little tired from her feet, so she sat down at the stone table in the bamboo forest, looking up at the nearby scenery.
I vaguely saw a palace behind the bamboo forest. I was a little curious and looked at Zi Yu and Miao Qin and asked,
"Which palace is that? Who lives inside?"
Zi Yu paused when she heard Chu Yanzi's question before returning.
"Back to the little master, that's the Jiaofang Hall, only Concubine Bao lives there."
After receiving this answer, Chu Yanzi's eyes turned lightly, and she didn't know what she was thinking, and she repeated it with a smile and playfulness.
"Jiaofang Palace? Concubine Bao Jie?"
After looking at it with interest, I saw a person who shouldn't have appeared here at this time - Zhang Jin.
Seeing his fleeting disappearance in the bamboo forest, Chu Yanzi turned around and looked at Zi Yu and Miaoqin. Seeing that she looked at her with a little confusion, she knew that they had not noticed Zhang Jin.
Miaoqin was a little confused, "What's wrong with me?"
Chu Yanzi looked in that direction again, with a dark look in his eyes, and he answered her in an unknown tone.
"fine."
Seeing that it was getting late, Miaoqin reminded,
"My master, it's time for us to go back. The imperial kitchen should have brought lunch."
"Yeah, go back." Chu Yanzi withdrew his gaze and led them back.
When we arrived at Jinhe Palace, the people from the imperial kitchen had just delivered lunch. After using it, Chu Yanzi blocked the palace servants and left Bai Hua and Bai Lu.
Chu Yanzi sat on the step, asking Bai Hua seriously,
"Bai Hua, when you sent someone to monitor the Jiaofang Hall, have you ever seen people from the Yangxin Hall go there?"
Bai Hua thought about it carefully, but he didn't know why the little master asked this.
"No, I have never received such news."
"No?"
Chu Yanzi gently tapped the table. Was it because his own people didn't notice, or was it really the first time?
Even Zhang Jin, who had only been to her Jinhe Palace once, seemed to have been used to it to the Jiaofang Palace. What does this mean?
She had just guessed that the emperor's favor of Yan Pin and Concubine Bao was related to Bao Jieyu, but now it is certain.
Even... she had only heard that Concubine Bao was favored, but she had never really experienced it. Now she had to think about it carefully. If the people in the palace could take action together, how popular was Concubine Bao was?
She seemed to be a little underestimating Concubine Bao. She could make people like Emperor Yong miss each other for so many years, so naturally she would not be comparable to Concubine Shu.
"I'll ask someone to check what Eunuch Zhang did in Jiaofang Hall today."
Bai Hua was shocked. He didn't expect that Eunuch Zhang would go to the Jiaofang Hall today. He understood why the little master asked this.
"Yes, I'll go now."
Before Bai Hua could find out what happened to Zhang Jin in the Jiaofang Hall, the harem was blown up by a piece of news.
Concubine Bao is seriously ill!
Her personal maid Liu Zhu directly asked for the Yangxin Hall. When she learned that the Imperial Hospital had detained Bao Jieyu's medicine, Emperor Yong was furious and was in the Jiaofang Hall at this time, he was about to punish the people from the Imperial Hospital.
The newly-entered palace concubine didn't know who this concubine Bao Jie was, and she could make the emperor so angry, and it was no less than Zhen Shuyi's miscarriage.
After receiving the news, Chu Yanzi and Bai Hua looked at each other. Although they all guessed that Concubine Bao Jie would do this, they did not expect that it would come so quickly, just the day before Emperor Yong's birthday.
Chu Yanzi changed into simple clothes and removed a few jewelry from her head before leading Baihua to Jiaofang Hall.
Chu Yanzi set out along the path I saw in the bamboo forest today. The wind was rustling, and Chu Yanzi sat in the ceremonial guard, quite puzzled. How could Concubine Bao Jie's palace be here?
"Zhen Shuyi is here!"
When Chu Yanzi arrived at Jiaofang Hall, he did not see Emperor Yong. He first asked the queen of the upper head for An, and then he learned from others that Emperor Yong was accompanying Concubine Bao Jie in the inner hall.
