The third prince, Liang Yi, was Concubine De's most important support. In order to find a good woman for Liang Yi and become the pride in the eyes of the emperor, she had done everything possible.
But Yan Shuang is not the best candidate. For no other reason than what she said now, Concubine De will not take the initiative to introduce her to Liang Yi.
Princess Zhaoyan sneered and said to Yan Shuang, "Since he is the emperor's favorite person, how can the third prince like him?"
As soon as he finished speaking, the eunuch came over. Seeing so many people in Concubine De's house, he was startled for a moment, and then said awkwardly: "Your Majesty, your Majesty has invited you to come over and introduce the new girl to everyone. "
"Who? Is it Chu Lin?" Concubine De's eyes flashed and she asked the eunuch.
If the emperor didn't really like it, if the emperor went to such great lengths to introduce it to everyone, no one would really know why.
The eunuch nodded. He had seen the expression on Concubine De's face many times in this harem.
If we say that the only woman who has been favored in the harem for twenty years is Concubine De.
Nowadays, the new girls have beautiful faces and young bodies, and those old and beautiful concubines who can only struggle with makeup and makeup finally have to bow their heads.
Concubine De took a deep breath, turned around and said to everyone: "Since everyone is here today, please follow me to have a meal."
Seeing Yan Ling, he didn't like to get involved in the affairs of the palace, but Princess Zhaoyan dragged her here with her, and even had to eat lunch with her.
Although I feel a little embarrassed, as long as I talk less and eat more, I can avoid the sharp edges.
In the pavilion in the back garden, the emperor was sitting on the throne, holding a book in his hand. Beside him, Liang He was holding tea. When he saw Yan Ling and Zhao Yan following Concubine De, he didn't know what was going on.
He didn't ask anything.
When the emperor saw everyone coming, he waved to Concubine De: "Concubine De, come and sit down."
Concubine De smiled softly, walked over and sat next to the emperor, and said softly: "I heard that His Highness has found a beautiful sister. When will she be introduced?"
The emperor smiled slightly, as if he saw that Concubine De was so indifferent, and he immediately admired her very much. He thought that Concubine De had been with the emperor for twenty years, and she was really broad-minded and worthy of the concubine's position.
The emperor was in a good mood and felt warm towards the girls she had brought. The two sisters from the Yan family and Mrs. Yan had come to the palace many times.
The emperor also knew that Mrs. Yan was a close friend of Concubine De, so it seemed reasonable for the two of them to come together and bring these two girls.
However, after his eyes swept over Yan Ling's body, he had to admire the beauty of this girl from the Yan family. The last time she painted a peach forest painting, it was a blockbuster. The emperor had some appreciation for this girl.
Although he had to admit that Yan Ling was worthy of Liang He's status, and it was very possible for her to become a princess.
But after thinking about this girl's identity, the emperor turned his attention back. He also felt sorry for Liang He's pursuit of Yan Ling and regarded her as the treasure in his hand. As the emperor, he did not want to refute his son's face and force others to do something difficult.
It's okay to let his son marry a woman he doesn't like, but Liang He can fall in love with any woman, but Yan Ling cannot.
After thinking of this, the emperor pushed the fruit garden in front of Yan Ling. It seemed that he felt sorry for preventing Liang He from marrying Yan Ling, so he treated Yan Ling better.
"I heard that Zhaoyan has been living in your yard these days. Zhaoyan has a naughty nature, so you should be more tolerant."
Princess Zhaoyan didn't expect that the emperor actually knew that she was living at Yan Ling's place, and she suddenly felt a little embarrassed.
After all, she went to Fanghua Garden to avoid the marriage between Bai Sulan and her family, but what she didn't expect was that the emperor had already known that she had hidden away.
She thought she was doing it very secretly, but in the eyes of adults it was so ridiculous, and she suddenly felt that she seemed a little naive. Even if you hide, you may not succeed.
So she acted half-coquettishly, but said in an angry tone: "Your Majesty, I just want to stay with Yan Ling for a while when I go to Fanghua Garden. My relationship with her is getting better and better now. I don't want to say no." After all, spending time together is not boring, so I thought about returning to the palace after spending two days together."
The emperor didn't take it to heart after seeing Zhaoyan say this. Everyone in the capital knew Zhaoyan's temperament. She was very lively and cute and didn't think too much about things. But this didn't mean that she was a good person. The lord of bullying. Zhaoyan has a naughty and domineering temperament. If anyone wants to bully her, there is no chance.
The emperor nodded, seemingly acquiescing to Zhaoyan to continue living in Fanghua Garden. At this moment, the eunuch said with a sharp voice: "Miss Chu Lin has arrived."
After these words were shouted, a woman in green clothes slowly came over here supported by a maid.
Everyone knew that this was the fairy-like little maid next to Princess Luoyan.
When they turned around, they saw that the little maid had come here. She looked at everyone first, and then greeted the emperor with a blush on her face. When the emperor saw Chu Lin, he was really surprised and waved to Chu Lin. He waved his hand and asked her to sit next to him.
The person sitting next to the emperor at that time was Concubine De, but now Chu Lin came and sat on the other side of the emperor.
Concubine De moved her body calmly, but she felt uncomfortable in her heart. She had been favored in this palace for many years. Everyone in the palace respected her very much, and they also knew that the emperor always loved her. , pampered tightly.
She originally thought that women become more charming as they age, but she didn't expect that today she would still be defeated by a young girl. This little girl gave her a taste of what it means to be defeated, what it means to be old, and what it means to be replaced. These emotions were mixed together, and Concubine De didn't even know how to describe her mood at that time.
After Chu Lin sat down, he looked around and leaned against the emperor with a slight smile. He seemed to be very dependent on the emperor, but after seeing so many strangers, he felt a little nervous and shy.
Yan Ling put his eyes on Chu Lin, and saw that Chu Lin was small and delicate, quite gentle and gentle like a Jiangnan woman, with a very small body frame, and a gentle and cute appearance, although not as good as that of Princess Luoyan. She was gentle and graceful, but it was probably because the little girl's temperament in this girl made the emperor feel more pity for her, or maybe the emperor had been surrounded by dignified and virtuous people like Concubine De for so many years, and suddenly a girl who knew how to act coquettishly appeared. The child gave the emperor a different feeling.
