And at this time, in a dark corner, Feng Qianyan, who was supposed to leave, slowly walked out.
She looked at Zhu Feng's back, and then at the quiet Yikun Palace.
There was a smile on his face.
Han Xiang who was behind also came out, and said in a low voice: "The emperor is still leaving."
"yes,"
There was a faint smile on Feng Qianyan's mouth, until she saw Zhu Feng's back completely merged into the night, and she could no longer see her, then she turned around slowly and walked towards Jianfu Palace.
While walking, he murmured: "He, he still left..."
"..."
"Yesterday, I didn't stay overnight in Yikun Palace. It seems that recently, the limelight of the imperial concubine is about to change."
Hanxiang followed her a few steps, held her arm, and said in a low voice: "Of course it's going to change. I have asked someone to go to the imperial hospital to inquire. It turns out that when the noble concubine gave birth to Princess Xinping, she almost had a difficult delivery. There is also a prince who was stillborn, and her body was damaged, so this pregnancy is also very dangerous."
"oh?"
"The people at the Imperial Hospital are all on the verge of an enemy. It seems that this baby is not safe."
"Is that so..."
Feng Qianyan smiled lightly: "No wonder, the emperor has been uncharacteristically in the past two days and has not stayed in Yikun Palace."
Hanxiang hurriedly said: "Your Majesty, this is a good opportunity!"
"..."
"The previous time, the empress injured her leg, but the emperor carried her back to Jianfu Palace with his own hands. If it wasn't for the concubine's sake, the emperor would have stayed."
"..."
"Now, the noble concubine can't sleep, and the harem doesn't know how many pairs of eyes are staring at the emperor."
"..."
"Your Majesty, don't miss this opportunity."
Feng Qianyan was silent for a while, and there was a needle-like prick in her beautiful eyes, and she said in a low voice, "Of course."
"..."
"I didn't enter the palace to wait for old people in the harem."
As she said that, she looked back at Yikun Palace again, because the emperor left and it was getting late, the gate of Yikun Palace was gradually closed, the lights were cut off, and her eyes suddenly fell into darkness, more like dyed To the depths of the surrounding night.
In the darkness, she murmured: "She and I are both daughters of the Minister of Honglu Temple, but I was drafted into the palace in a serious manner, she can always be by the emperor's side every day, but I can only guard the vacant room alone. "
"..."
"Why?"
"..."
"I can't just be like this, waiting to grow old and die in the harem."
Han Xiang hurriedly said: "Your Majesty is beautiful and bright, how can she wait for her age in the harem. It's just—"
"Just what?"
"Before, the meaning from Concubine Kang—"
"..."
Feng Qianyan was silent for a while, and said: "I understand what she means very well, take refuge in her and deal with the noble concubine."
"How did the empress plan?"
"Humph, take refuge in her? How long has she been in the palace? She married into Yan Wang's mansion before the emperor ascended the throne. Now, isn't it that a servant selected by Emperor Wen went over her head to become a noble concubine; moreover, the noble concubine has already Happy again, but she didn't even give birth to a prince."
"..."
"If you take refuge in her, can your fate be better than her?"
"..."
"I'm not reconciled. I will always be subordinate to others. I will not be an accessory of her concubine, nor will I be an accessory of Concubine Kang. I am me."
"..."
"I must be favored by the emperor!"

The next morning, the first ray of sunlight shone through the window on the royal case.
Eunuch Yu blew out the candle and carefully cleaned up the paperwork on the table. At this moment, Zhu Feng, who was resting in the chair, seemed to hear the sound, frowned, and opened his eyes.
"Well?"
"Your Majesty, slaves deserve to die!"
Eunuch Yu was filled with guilt, Zhu Feng reviewed the papers all night yesterday, and closed his eyes to rest for a while until dawn, when he woke him up again.
Zhu Feng yawned and waved his hand lightly: "Have someone bring hot water."
"yes."
Eunuch Yu ordered to go on, and soon someone brought hot water towels, Zhu Feng washed up, picked up a cup of hot tea and took a few sips, the queen came.
Xu Miaoyin walked in and knelt down to him: "I pay homage to the emperor."
"Get up."
Zhu Feng looked at her: "Why did the queen come here so early in the morning?"
Xu Miaoyin said: "Your Majesty, because the imperial concubine is pregnant, she will no longer participate in the ceremony. The concubine has slightly changed the procedure and sent it here for the emperor to see. The day after tomorrow is the grand ceremony. I hope everything goes well."
"Well, the queen is really doing well."
As Zhu Feng said, he took the list and read it.
And Xu Miaoyin, taking advantage of his spare time to read the list, turned to look in the imperial study, frowned, and said: "Did your majesty stay in the imperial study last night again?"
Zhu Feng didn't raise his head: "Yes."
Xu Miaoyin's face darkened, and she turned to look at Eunuch Yu who was standing by and waited: "Yufu, should you be beaten again?"
When Eunuch Yu heard this, his face turned pale with fright, and he hurriedly knelt down: "Empress, please forgive me!"
"Your majesty has worked so hard, don't you know how to persuade him? If this continues, how will the dragon's body be protected?"
"The servant is guilty, the servant is guilty!"
Zhu Feng raised his head, saw Eunuch Yu trembling with fright, kowtowing constantly, sighed, and said, "Okay, don't blame the queen either. I'm going to stay in the imperial study to handle government affairs."
"emperor,"
Xu Miaoyin said earnestly: "Usually the emperor is busy, and the concubine dare not say anything, but recently, the emperor traveled from Beiping to Jinling, the journey was bumpy and dusty, and before he had time to rest, he went to that academy and arranged a grand ceremony. He was so busy. I have to stay up all night, I am really afraid that the emperor's dragon body will not be able to bear it."
"..."
"Your Majesty, no matter how busy you are, you can't just spend the night like this."
"..."
"No matter which palace you are in, the emperor should go and have a rest."
Hearing this sentence, Zhu Feng slightly raised his eyebrows.
He knew that the empress came here to lose her temper, and secondly, she was trying to persuade him to walk around the harem more. Now that the imperial concubine is pregnant and cannot sleep, he should give other concubines some opportunities.
Zhu Feng was silent for a while, and said lightly: "Okay, I naturally know about this matter."
After he looked at the list and confirmed that there was no problem, Xu Miaoyin got up and left with the list, ready to hand it over to the master of ceremonies for arrangement.
When she walked out of the imperial study room, the maid Chun'er who was following behind said carefully: "Empress, even if the emperor can't stay in Yikun Palace for the night now, the empress should let the emperor come to Yonghe Palace more often, why do you still let the emperor come to Yonghe Palace?" He's going to another palace."
"..."
"Your Majesty, this is too selfless."
Xu Miaoyin glanced back and said lightly, "What do you know?"
