Chapter 93
Bai Hua lowered her head, covered the expression in her eyes, and said softly, "Yes." The expression in the covered eyes was unclear. Everything the Empress looked good, but no matter how she looked at it, why did she think that this bracelet was annoying. But if the Empress liked it, she would naturally not say this to make things difficult for the Empress.
Chu Yanzi glanced at her, then withdrew her gaze and looked at the note in her hand. After seeing the words on it clearly, Chu Yanzi's expression changed and asked Bai Hua, "Where did you get this note?"
Bai Hua did not open the note, and did not know what was written on it. At this time, she looked at Chu Yanzi's bad expression and could not take into account the thoughts in her heart. She spoke, "I don't know. When I returned to the palace today, a little eunuch gave it to me, and I didn't know him."
Bai Hua looked at Chu Yanzi's expression and said something bad, and couldn't help but ask, "Empress, what is the note written on this note?"
Chu Yanzi handed her the note and said, "You can see it yourself." Then he frowned slightly, leaned against the soft couch, thinking about things.
Bai Hua took the note and when he saw clearly what was written on it, his face changed. He looked at Chu Yanzi with some concern and said, "Empress, is the words on this note trustworthy?"
Chu Yanzi looked at the note and narrowed his eyes slightly. He didn't know who sent it. If it was true, why did this person help him.
Suddenly, Chu Yanzi saw a spice mark under the note, and her expression moved slightly. She picked it up and put it on the tip of her nose and smelled it. A trace of understanding flashed in Chu Yanzi's eyes. It turned out that it was her. Since that's the case, the most important thing to say above is true.
"It should be true." After closing his eyes, Chu Yanzi answered Bai Hua's words, and then said, "There are so many people tomorrow, so she chose to take action tomorrow. Bai Hua, you should take care of it tomorrow." It seems that Fu Yan's movements are still a little slow. The queen is ready to take action, but Chu Yanzi curled the corners of her mouth. After tomorrow, she is afraid that the queen will not have time to do these things again.
Bai Hua also knew the seriousness of the matter and nodded with a serious expression, "Don't worry, I will definitely be more careful tomorrow."
March 28th is Chu Yanzi's birthday. Because her condition is unstable, she does not need to pay tribute to the queen now. She only wakes up until the beginning of the year. Today she is the protagonist, so she naturally cannot be absent. Not only can she not be absent, but she also has to make a grand appearance.
Bai Lu had prepared the ornaments she wanted to dress up early in the morning, wearing a pink fallen leaf tassel skirt, with a long skirt dragging underneath, a layer of tulle draped on it, and gold threads were embroidered on the gauze. The sunlight outside the window shone down, with a trace of dazzling light. There was a flower-picking branch on her chest, and the flower branches were wrapped around her right chest to her waist, dotted with some peach-like petals.
Everyone in the palace knew that Zhen Xiuyi loved peach blossoms and used to wear peach blossoms the most, so there was no need to worry about wearing the same clothes, because those with winks would choose to avoid the same look as she wore.
After Chu Yanzi changed her clothes, Bai Lu pressed her to the dressing table, and drew her eyebrows and red lips. Chu Yanzi had a good color, not to mention the system bonus. Now her makeup is just the icing on the cake. Bai Lu put a bun on the Chaoyang Yunlu for her, and a six-phoenix pearl hairpin was inserted diagonally on it.
Just as he was about to pick a bracelet for Chu Yanzi, he was stopped by Chu Yanzi. Looking at the red blood jade bracelet on his hand, Chu Yanzi said lightly, "Don't pick a bracelet, just bring this."
After hearing her words, Bai Lu looked at Chu Yanzi's wrist bracelet carefully and found that it looked good and matched the Queen's outfit today. She had a smile on her face and said, "Okay, then Queen, are you satisfied with this outfit today?" Bai Lu smiled and stood behind Chu Yanzi with a look of compliment.
There is a full-body mirror in Jinhe Palace, which was worshipped by a small country. Chu Yanzi heard that there were only five, one in the Queen Mother's Cihui Palace, one in the Queen's Kunning Palace, one in the Jiaofang Palace of Baozhaoyi, and the other in the Emperor's own Hall of Harmony. The last one was in her Jinhe Palace.
Chu Yanzi stood up, looked at the mirror, turned around for a while, but found no flaws. He had a smile in his eyes and looked at Bai Lu and said, "Why is Bai Lu dressing up for me so beautifully, why is this unsatisfied?"
Bai Lu looked at Chu Yanzi's soft smile on her lips, but she was so seductive that she was red with shame. She lowered her head embarrassedly and said, "Empress, don't joke with me."
"Haha~" Chu Yanzi looked at Bai Lu's somewhat shy look, picked up a handkerchief and covered her mouth and chuckled. The laughter echoed in Jinhe Palace. When the people in Jinhe Palace saw that the Empress was in a good mood, their faces were filled with happiness.
Bai Hua looked at the sky outside and said to Chu Yanzi with a smile, "It's getting late, empress, should we go?" The gauze on Bai Hua's face had been removed at this time, because she had only broken a little skin, and Chu Yanzi applied it with good medicine, it was getting better quickly, and at this time it was only a shallow scar left.
Hearing Bai Hua's words, Chu Yanzi also looked up at the sky outside. It was already early and it was getting late. He stretched out his hand and put it on Bai Hua's arm handed over and said, "Today, Miaoqin and Zi Yu are following." Looking at Bai Lu's eyes at him, Chu Yanzi chuckled, "Bai Lu is following too."
Bai Lu thought that the Empress would bring Miaoqin and Ziyu, and she would come down to guard the palace. Unexpectedly, the Empress would let her follow her. She smiled so hard that she was out of sight and said, "Yes! Thank you, the Empress."
After arranging the matter between Jinhe Palace, Chu Yanzi made a look at Bai Hua in a concealed manner. Seeing Bai Hua nodding, Chu Yanzi led the palace people with a smile to set off and walked to the yard of Jinhe Palace. Chu Yanzi looked at someone in the palace, and his eyes flashed coldly.
He held Bai Hua's hand and climbed to the ceremonial guard. He listened to Bai Hua's voice, "Get up!" The ceremonial guard began to walk towards the Imperial Garden. Because the main purpose of this banquet was to fly kites, it was held in the Imperial Garden, because the place was spacious and could accommodate so many concubines.
At this time, many people had come to the Imperial Garden. The concubines in the harem knew what the banquet was for. Even though some people felt that Zhen Xiuyi was too domineering, they actually let so many of them play with her, but none of them were absent.
The main reason is that, first, the emperor will definitely appear on the birthday of Zhen Xiuyi. This is one of the few opportunities to see the emperor, so they will naturally not miss it; secondly, Zhen Xiuyi was injured that day, and they all saw the fate of the Du Guiren clan. Now that the bloody smell of Xuanwu Sect has just faded, they dare not not come. If Zhen Xiuyi is remembered in his heart... Some concubines shivered, after that day, they will never think that Zhen Xiuyi is a good-tempered person again.
When Concubine Yun arrived, the queen and others had not arrived yet. She had always been the first to arrive among the high-ranking concubines, but today, she was a little different, and brought the eldest princess with her.
For some concubines, this may be the first time they saw the eldest princess. There was a hint of curiosity in their eyes. They walked up to salute, "I'm going to meet the concubine Yun, and the eldest princess."
Concubine Yun smiled and raised her hand, then said, "Sisters, all get up," and then turned around and looked. Before the protagonist of today came, she pulled the eldest princess to the seat and sat down. As soon as she sat down, she heard the eldest princess ask her, "Mother, has the mother Zhen not come yet? Didn't she say that Mother Zhen would take Fu'er to fly kites today?"
Concubine Yun turned her head and saw the eldest princess turning her head restlessly looking around, obviously looking for Zhen Xiuyi's figure. Seeing her lively appearance, Concubine Yun couldn't help but smile and comforted her, "When did Mother Mother have you lied to? Your Mother Zhen will arrive soon, don't worry."
When the eldest princess heard Yun Fei's words, she curled her lips, her eyes rolled around, and then responded obediently, "Oh, I understand, Mother."
At this moment, the palace maids heard the news, "Treasures are here!" The eldest princess couldn't sit still. Looking at the ceremonial guard coming, she just wanted to get up and run over when she saw her mother raise her eyebrows and look at her, and then she blinked her eyes. The eldest princess smiled at Concubine Yun like a coquettish smile. Seeing Concubine Yun laughing, she couldn't help but get up and run down.
Chu Yanzi just held Bai Hua's men and a ceremonial guard when someone rushed over to her side, scaring her to the point of being shocked. Before she could recover from her senses, she heard a voice, "Mother Zhen, why did you come?"
The only one in the palace who could call her like that was the eldest princess. Chu Yanzi's tolerance towards the child is far greater than that of the adults. A smile appeared on the corner of her mouth. She ignored the person who saluted her on the side, but bent down and smiled at the eldest princess, "Why is the eldest princess coming today?"
Because Chu Yanzi was quite busy going to Xianyun Palace before, the eldest princess was familiar with her. After getting along for a long time, the eldest princess liked her temperament a little. At this time, she pulled her sleeve and said quickly, "Mother Mother said that today Zhen's mother will take Fu'er to fly kites."
Hearing her words, Chu Yanzi raised her head and looked at Concubine Yun sitting in the pavilion. Seeing that she looked over, Concubine Yun turned around and smiled at this side. Chu Yanzi's heart paused slightly, but the expression on her face did not change. She still said to the eldest princess gently, "Your mother is right, but can Fu'er fly kites?"
The eldest princess raised her head with a little pride and pulled Chu Yanzi toward Concubine Yun, saying, "Mother Zhen, don't worry, Fu'er is amazing!"
After hearing this, Chu Yanzi smiled deeper, waved to the concubines beside him, and said, "You all get up." Then he looked at the eldest princess who was pulling her and said, "It turns out that Fu'er is so powerful, but Mother Zhen can't fly kites. Fu'er must teach Mother Zhen well."
The eldest princess turned around and looked at Chu Yanzi with a surprised look, as if saying, "Mother Zhen, why are you so stupid?" Then she looked solemn, "Mother Zhen, don't worry, everything is left to Fu'er, Fu'er will definitely teach you."
Chu Yanzi was amused by her little adult expression, and then said, "Then Mother Zhen gave herself to Fu'er." The eldest princess did not say anything, but nodded fiercely, indicating that there was no problem.
The concubine standing beside her looked at each other, but she didn't expect that Zhen Xiuyi and the eldest princess were so familiar with each other. She curled her lips and said that she had taken all the good things.
Bai Hua, who was following Chu Yanzi, frowned. If the Empress had had a good relationship with the eldest princess before, she would naturally be happy for the Empress. But now... thinking about the day that Concubine Yun poisoned her Empress, Bai Hua's face changed, but looking at the smile on the Empress's face, Bai Hua did not reveal his thoughts.
Walking into the pavilion, Chu Yanzi looked at Concubine Yun, and the smile on her face became lighter, but the eldest princess didn't see it. She owed her slightly, and said with a bent corner of her mouth, "I wish you a blessing to the Queen, I'm lucky!"
Concubine Yun watched her salute to her, her face remained unchanged, and she spoke gently, "Get up quickly, Fu'er has been waiting for you for a long time."
After hearing her words, Chu Yanzi sat down before looking at the eldest princess beside her. The smile on the corner of her mouth became more sincere and said, "Let the Empress and the eldest princess wait for a long time."
At this time, the queen also came. Chu Yanzi and Concubine Yun walked out of the pavilion to pay tribute to the queen. The two stood in front, followed by many concubines, bent down and saluted, "I am the queen, please see the queen, my concubine!"
The queen looked in a good mood at this time, looked at Chu Yanzi with a subtle look, then smiled, and said generously, "Get up, today is Zhen Xiuyi's birthday, you all have fun."
After hearing the queen's words, Chu Yanzi and Concubine Yun looked at each other, and then smiled and said, "Thank you, Empress!" He stood up, Chu Yanzi held Bai Hua's hand, and just wanted to return to the seat to sit down when he heard the palace servant report.
"The Emperor is here!"
Now, I don’t have to come down later. Chu Yanzi smiled a little more. He looked at Emperor Yong who was walking down from the ceremonial guard and followed the queen and saluted him, with a soft and soft smile on his lips.
"I will meet the emperor, and the emperor will be lucky!"
Emperor Yong came over and saw the smile on Chu Yanzi's face. Looking at her outfit today, a hint of stunning flashed in her eyes. He also saw that she was in a good mood today. Emperor Yong said with a smile on his face.
"Get up." After saying that, Emperor Yong reached out and helped the queen. Yu Guang saw Chu Yanzi pouting. Emperor Yong's eyes smiled. He stepped forward and raised her. He saw that there was a smile on her face, which made Emperor Yong's heart soft.
Seeing the emperor passing by and rising Chu Yanzi, the queen took a deep breath before she controlled her face to prevent her expression from changing. However, she knew that Concubine Yun beside her saw her expression and a sneer flashed in her heart.
Chu Yanzi stood up with Emperor Yong's strength, and ignored the queen's changing face. Instead, he looked at Emperor Yong softly, and said in a slightly coquettish tone, "Why did the emperor come so early today?"
After hearing this, Emperor Yong looked at her in surprise. He thought she had arrived long ago. He heard what she said. Could it be that he had arrived shortly after he arrived? Thinking of this, Emperor Yong chuckled and shook his head, and said, "I am not very busy with Yangxin Palace today, so come and take a look earlier."
The queen packed up her mood, turned to look at the two of them, opened her eyes and did not look at their hands that were overlapping each other, with a smile on her face, and said, "Since the emperor is here, the banquet can begin. Use some things first, then fly a kite, and Zhen Xiuyi, what do you think?" Knowing that Emperor Yong would definitely ask Chu Yanzi's opinion, the queen did not give them another chance to show their love, so she asked her directly.
Chu Yanzi heard the queen ask her directly, and the smile on her face gave her a little shyness. She leaned into Emperor Yong's arms, and then whispered, "The Queen has arranged it very well. I'm listening to the Queen."
The queen looked very pleased, but she sneered in her heart. Now she was talking about what she said, but she was just saying it was nice. Looking at the look of satisfaction with Chu Yanzi on the face of the emperor, the smile on the corner of the queen's mouth became a little dull, and suddenly she felt a little bored. No matter how she fought, the emperor's heart would never be on her.
Just as Chu Yanzi and the others sat down, they heard the palace servants report again, "Bao Zhaoyi is here!"
Hearing this voice, everyone present raised their eyebrows. Isn’t Bao Zhaoyi recovering from his injuries? Why, the injury has been cured now? Chu Yanzi is no exception. She also did not expect Bao Zhaoyi to appear here today. She turned her head slightly to look at the expression on Emperor Yong’s face. Seeing that he looked over the other side with an unclear expression, the smile in Chu Yanzi’s eyes became lighter.
But he was one position higher than her, so Chu Yanzi did not go down again. Instead, he sat here waiting for Bao Zhaoyi to come. When he saw her walking in, Chu Yanzi stood up and owed to her, with a smile on his lips, "I have seen Bao Zhaoyi."
Bao Zhaoyi glanced at Chu Yanzi, her eyes turned deeper, she ignored her, but instead saluted to Emperor Yong, "I will meet the emperor, the queen, and the concubine Yun."
Emperor Yong closed his eyes, and the tone of talking to her was the same as usual, and it was still gentle, "Get up, beloved concubine."
Bao Zhaoyi stood up, looked at Chu Yanzi, and then said, "Care you Zhen Xiuyi." After saying this, Bao Zhaoyi turned around and sat next to Emperor Yong. Originally, the queen was sitting on the left and Chu Yanzi on the right. At this time, Bao Zhaoyi sat like this and directly occupied Chu Yanzi's position just now.
Chu Yanzi paused in her heart. Although there was no problem with Bao Zhaoyi sitting here, today was a birthday banquet held for her. She didn't see Yun Fei sitting at the queen's head, so she made a seat for her. When she looked at Bao Zhaoyi, Chu Yanzi sneered in her heart. She didn't send her to slap her in the face today.
Chu Yanzi looked at her sitting down and looked at Emperor Yong in a blink of an eye. Emperor Yong obviously did not expect that Bao Zhaoyi would sit directly beside him. Just now, Chu Yanzi stood up to salute her, and she didn't see that this position was A Yan's just now.
Emperor Yong frowned and looked at Chu Yanzi. He saw Chu Yanzi looking at him with red eyes. Today she was the protagonist, and this banquet was held to relax her mood. At this time, looking at her slightly red eyes, Emperor Yong felt ache in his heart, and frowned and wanted to speak to Bao Zhaoyi.
Bao Zhaoyi saw that Emperor Yong wanted to speak to him and turned to Emperor Yong, and asked in confusion, "Emperor, is there anything wrong with me sitting here?"
The concubines on the side watched the dispute between the two favorite concubines, their eyes lit up, waiting for the emperor's decision so that they could know who was the harem in the harem now!
Emperor Yong paused slightly when he heard Bao Zhaoyi's words. According to his position, there was nothing wrong with Bao Zhaoyi sitting here, but Ayan... Emperor Yong frowned and didn't know how to speak.
It seems a bit bad to ask Bao Zhaoyi to give way to A Yan. After all, according to position, A Yan should not sit on Bao Zhaoyi's head. These things are all conscious. Who knows that Bao Zhaoyi is so eyeless today?
Chu Yanzi looked at Emperor Yong and was still hesitating. Her eyes turned cold and she stood by holding Bai Hua's hand, but she didn't sit down. Today she was going to force Emperor Yong to make a choice.
Chu Yanzi stood aside with her eyes hanging down. Master, don’t let her down!
Seeing Chu Yanzi standing aside, lowering his head and not talking, Emperor Yong felt that he was too big at this time. He would never refuse Bao Zhaoyi's request, but in the same way, he could no longer bear to bear A Yan's grievance. A Yan had already suffered enough grievances because of this. Emperor Yong reached out to rub the bridge of his nose, made up his mind, turned to look at Bao Zhaoyi, and said softly,
"Riyi, today is Ayan's birthday, you are more sensible." When he said this, Emperor Yong was also a little tired. He had dealt with many messes for Bao Zhaoyi, but she never forgave him. She spoiled her and made her do things only with her own mood.
When Chu Yanzi heard Emperor Yong's words, he felt a little satisfied. He raised his head and looked at Emperor Yong with surprise. At this time, there were still some grievances inside, his eyes were red and moist, which made Emperor Yong frown and his heart was filled with pain.
When Bao Zhaoyi heard Emperor Yong's words, he was a little disbelief. He held his hands tightly, and her eyes were red, and she asked word by word, "Master, did you just ask me to give way to Zhen Xiuyi?"
When Emperor Yong saw that Bao Zhaoyi was still asking him back, he turned cold and stopped looking at her. He spoke directly to Zhang Jin, "Add a seat to Bao Zhaoyi."
Bao Zhaoyi looked at Emperor Yong's cold face for the first time, and tears fell unconsciously. He covered his mouth with one hand and helped Liuzhu's hand stand up with the other. After Emperor Yong saw her tears, he paused in his heart and hesitated slightly.
At this time, Zhang Jin had already added a position to Concubine Yun, so naturally he would not add the head of Zhen Xiuyi without a wink. Otherwise, Bao Zhaoyi would not only cry at this time, and he might have run back in anger.
Concubine Yun saw Emperor Yong choose Chu Yanzi between the two, and raised her eyebrows in her heart, but she did not be happy for Chu Yanzi too early. Bao Zhaoyi is a very evil person. Until the last moment, she would never believe that Emperor Yong would lose her place in her heart.
Looking at the heartache and hesitation flashing in Emperor Yong's eyes, Chu Yanzi felt cold in his heart, and held Bai Hua's hand tightened. Sure enough, Bao Zhaoyi was not so easy to lose favor, but after shed two tears, Emperor Yong could shake his decision.
Chu Yanzi did not wait for Emperor Yong to make up her mind. Giving up her seat once was nothing. What she wanted was Emperor Yong who was completely tired of Bao Zhaoyi!
Chu Yanzi glanced at Emperor Yong and Bao Zhaoyi, barely curled the corners of his mouth, and smiled, "Your Majesty, don't make things difficult for you. Just sit next to Concubine Yun, and you can also talk to Concubine Yun."
When Emperor Yong heard her words, he immediately withdrew his eyes to Bao Zhaoyi and turned to Chu Yanzi, but saw that she had turned around and walked towards Concubine Yun. If he hadn't seen her slightly red eyes and the tears she shed, he wouldn't have noticed that she was disappointed with him at this time.
