Chapter 94(1/2)
Emperor Yong was a little panicked, stood up and grabbed Chu Yanzi, frowned and shouted softly, "A Yan."
Chu Yanzi was pulled by him, stopped, then turned to look at him, tears fell one after another, and looked straight at Emperor Yong, without saying a word. Emperor Yong pulled her towards him, stretched out his hand and gently brushed away the tears from her face, and coaxed softly, "Today is your birthday, so of course you are the biggest, so stop crying."
Chu Yanzi pouted, still with aggrieved look on his face, and glanced at Bao Zhaoyi beside him, and asked him unyieldingly, "Where is Bao Zhaoyi?"
Emperor Yong paused in his heart and glanced at Bao Zhaoyi. There were still tears on her face, but she turned to Chu Yanzi and said, "It would be fine if Bao Zhaoyi sat under Yun Fei, it would be reasonable."
In this way, Chu Yanzi smiled on her face, leaned softly towards Emperor Yong, slightly surrounded Emperor Yong's waist, and said softly, "I just want to be closer to the emperor. Don't think Ayan is ignorant."
Emperor Yong gently patted her back, and after listening to her words, his eyes softened, "Ayan has always been the most sensible."
In Emperor Yong's arms, Chu Yanzi leaned there with a smile on his lips. He raised his eyes to look at Bao Zhaoyi. Today, Bao Zhaoyi could see that he had dressed up specially, and was still in the white white clothes with many patterns embroidered on it. Chu Yanzi laughed in his heart. If she had let her take the seat today, how could she gain a foothold in the palace in the future?
Bao Zhaoyi looked at Emperor Yong hugging Chu Yanzi with heartache, and tears fell down uncontrollably. At this time, she heard Emperor Yong say that Chu Yanzi is the most sensible, what about her? She just made her more sensible. Is this not satisfied with her?
Bao Zhaoyi is a tough person. Yu Guang saw other concubines looking at him with a sarcastic look. How could he bear such a sarcasm? In the past, she was the only one who looked at others like this. She didn't want to see the scenes of Emperor Yong and Chu Yanzi being in love with each other again, nor did she want to see Emperor Yong's coldness and ruthlessness towards him anymore.
Bao Zhaoyi felt that her heart was about to fall off. She covered her chest with one hand and held the Liuzhu with the other. She took two steps back with a heavy blow, lowered her head, and said in an unknown sense, "Maybe I shouldn't have come here today, I will say goodbye!"
When Chu Yanzi heard her words, she smiled faintly, and it was fleeting. She came out of Emperor Yong's arms, looked at Emperor Yong with some hesitation, then looked at Bao Zhaoyi with an unbearable look on his face. A sarcasm flashed in her eyes. If she wanted to humiliate others first, she would have to suffer the humiliation. If she hadn't wanted to show that she was more favored than herself in front of her, how could she be like this now?
However, Chu Yanzi did not show such emotion on her face, because she saw Emperor Yong frowning at this time and looked at Bao Zhaoyi. Chu Yanzi turned her mind and smiled in her eyes. Isn’t Bao Zhaoyi the most noble? If the emperor’s favor was made by others, would she be so angry that she would be crazy?
Chu Yanzi paused, with a look of hesitation on his face, then pulled Emperor Layong's sleeve, lowered his head and muttered, "Emperor, today is my birthday. I don't want to make such an unpleasant thing. Since Bao Zhaoyi wants to sit here, I will give it to her. I will know that the emperor has me in his heart, and it doesn't matter where I sit."
Listening to Chu Yanzi's reasonable words, Emperor Yong's eyes softened. He remembered that when Bao Zhaoyi was injured that day, Ayan was the same. He always compromised and retreated again and again, but it was because he didn't want to make things difficult for him.
Emperor Yong did not want to aggrieved Chu Yanzi, but Bao Zhaoyi was standing there at this time, and he was still saying something that seemed to be concessionate but threatening. Emperor Yong felt a little chilled. He didn't understand that as an emperor, he was so fond of a concubine, not only did she not feel honored, but she became more and more arrogant because of favor.
Chu Yanzi looked at Emperor Yong's expression and knew that he was a little disappointed with Bao Zhaoyi at this time. A smile flashed across his mouth. Chu Yanzi turned around gently and looked at Bao Zhaoyi. His face turned pale. It was obvious that he didn't want to talk to her. She said with some dissatisfaction, "Bao Zhaoyi should not be so ignorant in the future. You said today that you want to go back, but because of the emperor's favor, you willful and reckless. Bao Zhaoyi, don't let the emperor down."
After saying this, Chu Yanzi stopped looking at Bao Zhaoyi and turned around and walked towards Concubine Yun. The two looked at each other, and there seemed to be emotions flashing in their eyes, but there seemed to be no. As soon as Chu Yanzi leaned against Concubine Yun, the eldest princess smiled at her, and Chu Yanzi's eyebrows and eyes softened.
Emperor Yong saw that Chu Yanzi had already sat down next to Concubine Yun. Seeing that her expression was not sad, she took a breath in her heart and turned her head to look at Bao Zhaoyi beside her. At this time, she looked at Chu Yanzi with anger and dissatisfied face. Emperor Yong wanted to hold his forehead a little. He couldn't understand why the ripples would turn into this shape after this time came out, which was completely different from what he remembered.
"Sit down, don't waste your time any more."
Bao Zhaoyi was unwilling to stay at this moment. She fought for a place here, but the position in Emperor Yong's heart. Now who is less or more important, she already knows in her heart that Chu Yanzi now gave her this position to her? Let it be? Only the emperor can't see such humiliation.
Bao Zhaoyi had tears in his eyes and looked at Emperor Yong. After five years, they had changed a lot. He still had extravagant hope in his heart. Bao Zhaoyi laughed at himself and suddenly realized that the person sitting here was an emperor, not just her husband.
"I am not feeling well, so I hope the emperor will allow me to leave first."
Emperor Yong's eyes turned cold. Ayan had already given up his seat to her. What else was she dissatisfied? Emperor Yong just felt that she was making trouble at this time and did not want to let her go. He said in a cold voice, "Since Bao Zhaoyi is not feeling well, what's going on for this trip!"
Looking at Mu Lianyi's sudden pale face, Emperor Yong didn't feel soft-hearted. Looking at her, he still didn't feel that he was wrong. A trace of disappointment flashed in Emperor Yong's eyes, "Bao Zhaoyi will go back, don't come out and walk around until the injury is healed."
Bao Zhaoyi suddenly raised her head to look at him, don’t go out and walk again? Is this going to make her think about her behind closed doors? Bao Zhaoyi frowned, and her eyes that had not yet dried were a little wet. She bit her lip and said, “I will follow the order.”
After saying this, Bao Zhaoyi stopped looking at Emperor Yong, helped Liuzhu's hand up and stood up. He looked at Chu Yanzi deeply, saw the playful smile on her face, and his eyes slashed. He didn't know what to think about, so he turned around and left.
After Bao Zhaoyi left, everyone looked at Chu Yanzi beside her. She saw her looking at Bao Zhaoyi's departure back at this time, her face turned cold. Everyone was not uncomprehensible. She had already given the position beside the emperor. Unexpectedly, Bao Zhaoyi still left, which was also to save her face.
Concubine Yun covered her lips and chuckled. She watched a scene. She didn't know why Bao Zhaoyi came out for this trip regardless of her body. She wanted to show her presence? Let's know her status in the emperor's heart. But she didn't expect that she would lose a lot of rice if she steals chickens.
When Chu Yanzi saw her leaving, he also chuckled in his heart. Unexpectedly, Bao Zhaoyi was injured once, wandered around at the critical moment of life and death, but still did not make any progress. However, he frowned slightly and looked at Emperor Yong dissatisfiedly.
Emperor Yong couldn't say anything about his feelings after seeing Bao Zhaoyi leave, and he felt uncomfortable. Some, but he suddenly felt relaxed, curled his expression, looked at Chu Yanzi, and saw her pouting, looking dissatisfied, chuckled, waved to her, and said, "Isn't it still here?"
Chu Yanzi no longer cared about Bao Zhaoyi's departure. She smiled in her eyes, picked up her skirt, walked towards Emperor Yong, sat next to Emperor Yong, narrowed her eyes, and said to Emperor Yong, "Your Majesty, it's not my concubine who forced her away."
After stroking her hair, Emperor Yong looked in the direction where Bao Zhaoyi left, and his eyes flashed with unknown expressions. He lowered his head and smiled at Chu Yanzi, "I know, it has nothing to do with A Yan." He closed his eyes and looked at the queen, "Let's start."
The queen looked at Chu Yanzi and then nodded to Emperor Yong with a smile. The palace people next to her brought the prepared kites. Because they were all used by the master, the Interior Affairs Office was very careful. Each style was different, with the shapes of some small animals and some different shapes of flowers.
Looking at these exquisite kites, Chu Yanzi's eyes lit up, and he reached out to hold Emperor Yong, smiled at him, and said softly, "Your Majesty, don't think about unhappy things, let's fly kites."
Emperor Yong also saw the kites. He looked at the moving expression on Chu Yanzi's face and his heart softened. Just now, the emotions brought by Bao Zhaoyi also disappeared a little, softened his expression, and then said, "Okay."
Chu Yanzi pulled Emperor Yong and just wanted to get up, he saw the eldest princess beside him looking at him, looking at Emperor Yong with some expectations. Chu Yanzi paused in his heart, and then smiled at the eldest princess, "Fu'er, didn't you just say you wanted to teach Princess Zhen to fly kites? Why don't you come quickly?"
The eldest princess looked a little restrained. She glanced at Emperor Yong, stopped the naughtyness she had in the past, and asked in a low voice, "Father, can it be?"
Emperor Yong looked at her with some expectant expression, and his eyes softened. This was his first child, so he naturally loved him. He smiled and nodded, "Fu'er, come with him."
When the eldest princess heard Emperor Yong agree, her face changed, and she ran over quickly with a little spirit, took Chu Yanzi's hand, and said with a smile, "Mother Zhen, let's go quickly."
Emperor Yong looked at them holding hands and raised his eyebrows. The relationship between them was so good? Seeing Chu Yanzi pulling the eldest princess, she asked her softly which kite she liked. Emperor Yong's eyes were a little softer, but the next moment, Emperor Yong's heart hurt again. His Yan liked children so much, but she...
At this time, the eldest princess was lowering her head and choosing a kite. Emperor Yong walked forward, wrapped himself around Chu Yanzi's waist, and buried his head on her neck. Chu Yanzi was stunned. Before he could react, he heard Emperor Yong say with a little pity, "Ayan, let's have a child."
Chu Yanzi turned his mind and realized why Emperor Yong's pity was. A smile flashed in his eyes, and then he turned around with some depression pain. Looking at the care on Emperor Yong's face, his eyes turned slightly red, and he said, "But the imperial physician said, I am, I may not have children."
Emperor Yong saw her eyes turn red, and regret flashed in his eyes. What's wrong with him? He mentioned the child again and caused her sadness. Before he could speak, he heard her say in disappointment, "If the emperor wants a child... I'm sorry..."
Emperor Yong suddenly frowned, knowing that she was misunderstanding her intentions, and before he could think of how to soothe her emotions, he saw her suddenly throwing into his arms, hugging his neck, and crying, "Ayan doesn't want the emperor to go to find someone else. When he heard the news of someone else's pregnancy, Ayan felt so uncomfortable."
"Why...Why can't only Ayan have the emperor's children? Ayan doesn't want to do this..."
Emperor Yong suddenly paused, his expression was a little confused. After he reacted, he hugged Chu Yanzi. He listened to her crying and quickly comforted her, with a feeling of distress in his eyes, "I don't mean this, Ayan, stop crying." The tears he reached out to wipe her dry, Emperor Yong felt a little depressed. As she said, why can't she be pregnant?
Emperor Yong suddenly calmed down and said to Chu Yanzi, "Ayan, don't worry, you will definitely have children, I promise!"
Chu Yanzi looked up at him, looking a little disbelief, but she no longer cried. She smiled and said, "Ayan knows his body. The emperor doesn't have to make things difficult for him. What's more, the imperial physicians didn't say absolutely, Ayan always has luck in his heart."
Emperor Yong stroked her face, his eyes darkened, and he said softly, "Ayan, you will have everything you want."
——I want your heart, do you give it?
Chu Yanzi had a deep meaning in her eyes. She leaned against Emperor Yong's arms and called out with emotion, "Emperor~"
After a while, the voice of the eldest princess came, "Mother Zhen, have you chosen the kite? Let's go!"
Chu Yanzi retreated from Emperor Yong's arms with a red face, wiped the corners of his eyes with a veil, shyly did not dare to look at Emperor Yong, so he picked up a kite and responded to the eldest princess' words, "Is it a good choice, and has Fu'er also chosen?"
The eldest princess ran over and took Chu Yanzi's hand, "Fu'er has already chosen it. Mother Zhen is here, Fu'er teaches you, like this...this...it will fly."
“…Fuer, please slow down…”
"...Mother Zhen, look, the kite is flying..."
Concubine Yun sat in the pavilion, watching the scene where Chu Yanzi was playing with the eldest princess outside, with a smile on her lips and a soft corner of her eyes looking over there.
The queen on the side looked at Concubine Yun's expression, with a hint of sarcasm on her face, and she spoke in an unknown way, "Looking at them, she looks like a mother and daughter. How do you feel when you look at Concubine Yun?"
Concubine Yun calmed the smile on the corner of her mouth, looked at the queen, picked up a piece of pastry in front of her, put it in her mouth and tasted it, and then chuckled and said, "I will naturally be happy if Fu'er can have someone who feels sorry for her."
"Is that?" The queen didn't believe her words, and tasted the tea in her hand, then slowly looked at Concubine Yun and said, "I heard that Concubine Yun and Zhen Xiuyi had some conflicts not long ago. I wonder if I heard it wrong?"
"There are frictions between the sisters, let alone sister Chen and Zhen?" Yun Fei's eyes became dark. Unexpectedly, the queen would find out about this in just a few days, and a smile appeared on the corner of her mouth, "Whose gossip has the queen heard?"
"Are you going to gossip? Look at me, it's not necessarily true?" The queen looked at Concubine Yun's smile that had been going on for ten years, and her eyes became deeper.
"Look at what the Empress said, what conflicts can there be between me and sister Zhen." Whether the queen believes it or not, Yun Fei naturally cannot admit it. Yun Fei frowned, feeling that the pastries in her mouth were a bit greasy. She always liked lighter ones.
Seeing her putting the pastry down, the queen smiled and said in a low voice, "Fuhong."
Concubine Yun's face changed, she raised her head and looked at the queen. After a long time, she chuckled, "Have the queen heard the story of 'the thief shouting to catch thieves'?"
"Concubine Yun!" The queen was stabbed by her disrespectful words and slapped at the stone table hard. She looked at Concubine Yun with a bad expression. She did not expect that Concubine Yun, who usually acted in a low-key manner, would dare to face and mock her.
"What do you do when Empress is angry? I am just chatting with Empress. If Empress doesn't like to listen, I will not say anything." The smile on the corner of Yun Fei's mouth remained unchanged. Looking at the queen's angry expression, she chuckled, "Empress, the emperor saw such a big move, and he thought what was going on here."
The queen looked at her steadily. After listening to her words, she looked outside. She didn't see the emperor. The queen felt relieved, took her hand down, looked at Concubine Yun with a cold look, and said coldly, "Concubine Yun is careful when speaking next time, don't say anything plausible. If you hear it, you won't know what you will think."
"Didn't this be mentioned first by the Empress? I just answered it with my mouth and hoped that Empress would not blame me." Concubine Yun had been with her for about ten years, so naturally she was not afraid of her majesty and said with a smile on her lips.
After saying this, Concubine Yun stopped talking to the queen. There were many things that would happen today. She didn’t have the time to whine with the queen here, turning her gaze outside the pavilion, and suddenly her face changed. Where is Chu Yanzi?
Concubine Yun suddenly turned around and looked at the queen, but saw a smile flashing across the corner of her mouth, and her eyes turned cold. Concubine Yun said to the queen with an unknown meaning, "The Queen is so capable."
"What does Concubine Yun mean? Why can't I understand it?" The queen covered the corner of her mouth with a veil. Her plan was completed, so she naturally had the mood to accompany Concubine Yun to try time.
When Concubine Yun looked at the queen's expression, she knew what she was thinking. She thought she wasting her time here, but she didn't see if she wanted it or not! Concubine Yun stood up with a bad expression and owed her body. "I won't talk to the empress, I will go and see Fu'er."
"Concubine Yun, wait, you are here at this time, aren't you disturbing Fu'er's interest?" The queen saw that she was about to leave, and slowly spoke to stop her.
"The queen is joking." After saying this, Concubine Yun stopped looking at the queen. She turned around and held Lian Yun's hand away. After walking out of the pavilion, Concubine Yun's face relaxed a little, and said to Lian Yun, "Go and see where Zhen Xiuyi is?"
"Yes." Lian Yun glanced at Concubine Yun, frowned, but did not say anything. He responded and left quickly to find Chu Yanzi.
Concubine Yun took a deep breath and looked at the queen in the pavilion slightly. Seeing that the queen was still smiling at her, a sneer flashed in Concubine Yun's eyes. It was too early to be happy.
Concubine Yun calmed her expression, walked towards the eldest princess, and shouted softly, "Fu'er!"
When the eldest princess heard her mother calling her, she paused, handed the kite in her hand to the maid beside her, and then ran to Concubine Yun excitedly and shouted, "Mother, are you here too?"
Concubine Yun took out a handkerchief and wiped the sweat from her forehead. Her eyes were full of love and asked, "Where is your mother-in-law?"
The eldest princess looked around, then guessed something, and said to Concubine Yun, "Mother Zhen seemed to have dirty clothes just now, so she went to the palace to change clothes nearby."
When Yun Fei heard her answer, she narrowed her eyes and asked, "Dirty dress? What's going on?"
Seeing that her mother's expression was not very good, the eldest princess paused. She grew up in the palace, so she was naturally not an innocent child who knew nothing. Her face changed. She thought about what had happened before and then said,
"Jin's mother was flying a kite with Fu'er just now, and then a concubine who didn't know her came over with a kite. She accidentally stepped on the clothes of Mother Zhen. Because the dirty marks were too obvious, Mother Zhen went back to change her clothes with Bai Hua."
Concubine Yun exhaled, and saw a look of fear on the eldest princess's face. She flashed with worry and heartache in her eyes, but she did not comfort her. This is what their women have to experience. This world is too unfair to women. Her Fu'er should not be a big princess who doesn't know anything. These things should also be in contact with her.
"Fu'er, you're ready. There will never be peace in the harem." Concubine Yun looked at the various concubines in the imperial garden, with a distant look, and then said to the eldest princess.
The eldest princess looked at Concubine Yun's expression and suddenly she had no intention of playing. She held Concubine Yun's hand. She lowered her head and said slowly, "Mother, will this matter involve you?"
"Don't worry, Mother Mother still wants to watch you get married, Mother Mother Mother won't have any trouble." Concubine Yun stroked the eldest princess's hair, her eyes full of love, and she said softly.
To be continued...
