With Mrs. Pei in Chengde Mountain Villa, Ye Zhen's life is not as chic and comfortable as before. She wanted to go hunting in the mountains, but she was caught by Mrs. Pei before she went out. She wanted to catch fish, hehe, Mrs. Pei was with her Around her, she didn't even want to get close to the stream, and even the surrounding rabbit nests and snake nests were cleaned up.
She can only read books every day and walk around in the villa, which is no different from living in the palace.
Although Ye Zhen lost a lot of fun, she thought of a way to divert her attention. Anyway, she is more comfortable than in the palace. The only thing that makes her a little dissatisfied is that living in the villa is like living in a peach blossom garden. If she didn't receive it, she couldn't do anything even if she wanted to inquire about the situation in the palace.
"Go and call Xue Lin." Ye Zhen said to Hong Ling.
Hongling left in response, and soon called Xue Lin in who was outside Daohuayuan.
"Your Majesty." Xue Lin saluted, not knowing what the Empress Dowager had ordered.
Ye Zhen knew that even if she asked Xue Lin what was going on in the palace at this time, Xue Lin would not tell her more, if it wasn't for Mo Rongzhan's order, she would not have received any news from outside.
"You go to the capital and pick up Xiaoran. I suddenly want to eat her beef noodles." Ye Zhen said with a smile, and said nostalgicly, "I feel like I haven't eaten Xiaoran's beef noodles for many days."
A smile flashed in Xue Lin's eyes, "Yes, ma'am, my subordinates will go into the palace immediately to take Xiaoran over."
Ye Zhen nodded with a smile, "It's still early, and it's time to bring Xiaoran here to make dinner for me."
"Your subordinate will go right away." Xue Lin saluted, turned around and left.
Compared with the peace and tranquility of Chengde Mountain Villa, Kyoto is much more lively.
As Lu Xiangzhi further forced the clan to pay back the old money, many people secretly complained, and some even began to secretly miss the deposed emperor, saying that if Mo Ronghui became the emperor, he would not give up The clan was pushed to this point, Murong Zhan couldn't tolerate the clan at all, sooner or later he would drive the clan to extinction.
These comments dare not be blatant, they are only spread in a small area, before reaching Murong Zhan's ears, the excitement in the palace is another scene.
Without the empress in the palace, the happiest thing is the concubines, they all think this is an opportunity.
However, they soon discovered that the emperor still didn't like to go to the harem as before. Even if he went to the harem, he no longer only used the Yongshou Palace. He changed places, and now he only went to the Xiuhe Palace.
Concubine Shu really got up, she became the second person who could be favored by the emperor alone, even the empress was forced away by her limelight, who else would dare to compete with her? I really don't know what kind of luck she has gone through to make the emperor dote on her just after seeing her in the imperial garden.
"I heard that when Concubine Shu first entered the palace, she was also favored by the emperor for several days. Is this true? The emperor really misses the past. It's just that the imperial garden saw her, and he remembered her."
In Concubine An Hui's palace, there were several nobles who were unwilling to Hu Yue'er. Originally, there was no queen empress, and everyone else in the palace had a fair chance to compete. But because of Concubine Shu, they didn't even have the chance to see the emperor. No.
Concubine An Hui curled her lips. She didn't think Hu Yueer would be favored before. When they entered the palace together, she still looked down on Hu Yueer's background. The emperor did let Hu Yueer go to bed, but so what? In the end, it was not like that, the emperor forgot about her in a blink of an eye, who would have thought that there would be a chance to get up again, "You all shut up, Concubine Shu is not what she used to be, and you dare to talk about her."
"I don't know when the empress will come back?" Someone said sourly.
In the past, only empresses were favored, and none of them are as jealous as they are now, because empresses are like stars far away in the sky, which they can only see from a distance but cannot touch, but concubine Shu is different, she is just an ordinary person on the ground just like them before, Why can she be close to put on.
Concubine An Hui glanced in the direction of Xiuhe Palace, "For the sake of Concubine Shu, the Emperor will send away the Empress who is about to give birth... Maybe when the Empress returns, Concubine Shu will already be pregnant."
Her words made all the nobles around her silent, with a look of panic on their faces.
If Concubine Shu had a prince, her status in the palace would really be different. If the empress could not give birth to the eldest son, the palace might be dominated by Concubine Shu in the future.
"I remembered that I still have something to do, so I went back first." A nobleman stood up in a hurry. If Concubine Shu knew that they were talking ill of her here, who knew what would happen. She didn't want to be in the palace so soon. Just can't survive.
The others also stood up to say goodbye.
Concubine An Hui didn't keep them, she longed for them to leave early, Hu Yueer could be favored, she wanted to please her, maybe she could let Hu Yueer support her, if Hu Yueer was willing, they could occupy a piece of the palace together Heaven and Earth, even if the Empress Dowager returns in the future, I won’t be afraid anymore.
Xiuhe Palace, in the sleeping hall.
"Your Majesty, all the nobles in Concubine An Hui's Palace have left." Xiang Qiao walked in and said softly to Hu Yue'er.
Hu Yue'er didn't even raise her eyes, "Huh?"
"Who in the palace is not jealous of our empress now, let them be jealous, the emperor will still come to Xiuhe Palace tonight." Xianghuan said with a smile, she had never seen the emperor before, until recently, It turns out that their emperor is so handsome and charming, he will definitely come to Xiuhe Palace often in the future, and their Concubine Shu came here after suffering.
"Okay, you all go down, I still need to look at these account books." Hu Yue'er said with a faint smile.
Xiangqiao and Xianghuan saluted and retreated outside the door.
Hu Yue'er looked down at the account book in her hand, her mind was still as calm as water, but now she couldn't read it anymore.
Is she really loved by the emperor now? Why doesn't she feel this way herself? The emperor does come to Xiuhe Palace every night. She... seems to be sleeping, but she always feels that something is wrong. Every day when she lies down, she loses consciousness in a short while. She has no memory of serving the emperor, and sometimes she has to suspect that she doesn't know the truth... she has served the emperor.
If not, it is impossible for the emperor to go to Xiuhe Palace often, and give her all the rights in the harem, which obviously means to value her.
Hu Yue'er recalled that time in the Royal Garden, the emperor's eyes when he saw the queen's back, as if ice and snow melted in his eyes instantly, and the spring was warm and the flowers bloomed in an instant, making people unable to help being moved...
The emperor had never seen her like this.
