If we talk about the benefits of Lingxi Garden, there are only two most gratifying things.
The first is that one no longer has to pay respects to the Queen every day; now one only needs to do so once every three days. The second is that everyone in Lingxi Garden can live alone. The courtyard is larger than that in the palace, and the scenery is better.
The place where Ye Yun lived was called Zhaixing Pavilion, which was a two-story building with a small courtyard. There was also a row of bungalows at the back, which were specially used for servants to live in.
There are hydrangeas planted in the yard, as well as two rows of water lilies and koi fish raised inside, which is very beautiful.
There was no dispute that the emperor naturally stayed at the queen's place on his first night. From the next day, everyone was looking forward to it.
But Sun Xiuyi was the one who slept with him for the next three days, and some people couldn't hold back any longer.
Originally, the most favored concubine in the palace was Concubine Wen, followed by Sun Xiuyi. Now, with great difficulty, only one of them came out, and she couldn't take it all by herself.
So Ye Jun heard Concubine Zhao playing the piano by the lake, Concubine Li strolling in the bamboo forest, Concubine Wang catching butterflies in the flower garden, and Concubine Li feeding the fish by the lotus pond.
Finally, when Chen Baolin went to the Peony Pavilion to paint in the hot summer, he was met by the emperor and given a severe scolding.
I heard that he scolded the person until he cried, and didn't give him any face at all.
"She is my cousin after all, why do you treat her so badly?"
In the Zhaixing Pavilion, Ye Jun was finally able to eat ice cream. Now he was leaning on the couch by the window, holding a piece of cheese, feeling so comfortable.
Huiyue fanned him and said, "I heard that it was because Chen Baolin's paintings were not good that annoyed the emperor."
"What is drawn?" Ye Jun was curious.
"I heard that it was a painting of a lamb kneeling to suckle its mother. I remember that the lamb kneeling to suckle is a symbol of praising filial piety and gratitude. I don't know why the emperor was so angry."
Huiyue lowered her voice and spoke very carefully.
After hearing this, Ye Jun smiled and shook his head. "The relationship between the emperor and the empress dowager is very tense now. The empress dowager relies on the fact that the emperor is her biological son, so she wants the emperor to obey her in everything. Talking about filial piety with the emperor now, doesn't that look like coercion? There's no way the emperor will be happy!"
“I never thought there would be this. This is really…” Huiyue felt scared.
Now I finally understand that once you enter the palace, you have to think about everything carefully, and you can easily make mistakes if you are not careful.
In other words, Chen Baolin is the emperor's cousin. If it were someone else, they would probably fall out of favor.
As for why Chen Baolin suddenly started to paint the picture of a lamb kneeling to suckle its mother, no one knows.
Perhaps it was because the emperor was angry, the concubines suddenly became well-behaved and no one went out again. The empress took advantage of the emperor's anger and confined Chen Baolin to his room for half a month.
The days went smoothly and it had been more than ten days since she came to Lingxi Garden. On this day, Luyan went to collect the fruits that the Queen had given to various places as rewards. When she came back, she reported that she saw the Emperor and Concubine Li heading towards the lotus pond.
"Hey, isn't this the chance? Hurry up and get dressed, we're going too."
Ye Jun's eyes were full of smiles, but upon closer inspection there was a hint of coldness. He sat lazily in front of the bronze mirror.
Luyan was still in a daze, but Huiyue knew her master well and took action immediately.
We can't be careless about snatching someone away, we must beat that beautiful lady into the mud!
So about half an hour later, Ye Jun appeared in the Yuefeng Pavilion beside the lotus pond.
There is only a resting place next to the pool, so it is the perfect place to meet people.
Sure enough, within a stick of incense, the emperor's ceremonial procession was seen coming this way.
"I pay my respects to His Majesty and Lady Li!"
Ye Jun held Huiyue's hand and came out of the pavilion, deliberately controlling her posture, looking very charming.
"Excuse me, why are you here?" Ning Chen looked at her and couldn't help but glance at the woman's slender waist.
He didn't want to, but Ye Jun's outfit today really showed off her figure. Her curves were in perfect proportion and she looked graceful and attractive, especially the loosely tied ribbon, which made her waist look even more slender.
"Why else? She came here just because she saw the emperor was here. I'm afraid Ye Wanrong hasn't learned her lesson from what happened with Chen Baolin some time ago!" Lady Li said gritting her teeth.
In Gunzhou, the emperor sent people from Yi Wanrong's clan to control the floods. Her father fully cooperated with them, and now that they have seen the results, the emperor has become friendly to her again. How could he let this vixen seduce him
Ye Jun had a look of fear on his face, his eyes wide open, looking completely innocent.
Holding the handkerchief, she spoke aggrievedly, "I was just bored in the courtyard these days and wanted to go out for some fresh air. Meeting the emperor was just a coincidence. Why did Lady Li make such a fuss about it?"
She paused after she finished speaking, biting her lips looking so pitiful, her beautiful eyes were filled with mist, as if tears would drip out in the next second.
"I am not Lady Li. I have served the emperor for a long time and know everything he says and does. How can I have the ability to find out the whereabouts of the emperor? Last time, Lady Li misunderstood that I had served the emperor in bed and angered him. Are you going to wrongly accuse me again this time?"
"You, don't talk nonsense!" Lady Li was very angry at the way she called her a little white lotus. She turned around and pulled Ning Chen's sleeve anxiously, "Your Majesty, it is a serious crime to inquire about your whereabouts. I have served you for many years, how could I not know this? Don't listen to her nonsense!"
Ning Chen's eardrums were about to burst when he heard the beautiful lady Li yelling in his ear. He felt annoyed and pulled his sleeves out calmly, his face gloomy.
Li Mei paused, and immediately dared not say anything more. She just glared at Ye Jun angrily.
"Jin, it seems that I haven't taught you to behave yourself during this time of neglecting you. You are so impatient all day long. If you don't do it, can others still wrongly accuse you? I think you haven't calmed down after being punished by the Queen to copy the palace rules. Go back and copy them ten times. You don't have to come out until you finish copying them."
Ning Chen doesn't like stupid women. If Lady Li's father wasn't still useful, he wouldn't even look at her.
Furthermore, Lady Li is not only stupid, but also vicious. Even Ye Jun could find out about the Cassia Seed matter, so naturally she couldn't hide it from his eyes.
Being suddenly punished, Lady Li wanted to argue, but was held back by her maid Yinhuan. She suppressed her impulse and retreated unwillingly.
After the people left, Ye Jun immediately put away her innocent look, and looked at Ning Chen with her eyes blinking like a fox, smiling.
"Are you not pretending anymore?" Ning Chen snorted coldly, but showed no intention of leaving.
Ye Jun raised her eyebrows and spoke like a little gangster, "Your Majesty is handsome and graceful, and I cannot help but admire you. It feels like a long time since I last saw you. I am so worried that I can't even eat or drink. Your Majesty, please have some pity on me and stay with me. I made some fresh cakes in Zhaixing Pavilion. Your Majesty, please come and try them?"
Her words were enough to make people blush, but she remained calm and composed, which only made Ning Chen feel embarrassed.
"In this case, I can't refuse your kindness, so let's go."
Looking at the emperor's awkward look, arrogant and shy, Ye Jun really found it interesting.
Is this probably what it feels like to tease a decent woman or man
