Just as Ye Jun expected, less than an hour later, a servant from Jingqian Palace came to deliver a message.
It was said that the emperor had ordered Ye Wanrong to copy the palace rules three times as punishment, and that she must strictly follow the rules and etiquette in the future and not speak without restraint.
This was really not a big deal. Firstly, there was no house arrest, and secondly, no harsh scolding. It was just a punishment of copying the palace rules. Compared with the punishment of not being allowed to leave the house until Concubine Li had copied them all, it was nothing.
Yi Wanrong was naturally dissatisfied with the result, but she couldn't show it.
Fortunately, Ning Chen punished Ye Jun, rewarded her with things, and saved her face.
What was unexpected was that when the queen heard about it, she thought about it for a moment, followed the emperor's footsteps, and sent people to Zhaixing Pavilion to reprimand him.
This made Ye Jun feel so disgusted.
At least don't be so obviously indecisive!
Today in Wutong Palace, the Queen did not speak up for Yi Wanrong at all, and even scolded her a little. Now she followed the Emperor to scold her. It was really...
It would be fine if the emperor punished him alone, but if the empress added fuel to the fire, that would be too much and not a good thing.
In Molan Pavilion, Concubine Jing was having her shoulders massaged by a maid.
After hearing the news outside, he smiled a little.
"I am very smart when I am the queen, but I have been like this for so many years. Ye is the descendant of a meritorious official, and the emperor has only been on the throne for a short time. If Ye is severely punished, it will chill the hearts of old officials. The emperor can just say a few words without any pain, but she still follows him. Isn't this putting the emperor in a difficult position?"
"The Queen has always been like this. She can't stand anyone doing well. Once she gets the chance, she will try to make trouble for everyone. Look at Yang Cainu. She acts like the Queen's maid all day long. I heard that she often helps her with dressing and washing." Nianzhu said with disgust.
Jing Zhaoyi lowered her eyes and whispered softly, "Yes, Xie's methods are really not that clever."
But it was this not-so-powerful man who caused her to have a miscarriage when she was six months pregnant, and that was a full-grown boy.
But after that, her health deteriorated and she could no longer get pregnant, so the emperor gradually stopped letting her serve him.
Fortunately, the emperor was a man who cared about old times, and when she entered the palace, she was given the title of Zhaoyi, the first of the nine concubines.
There will be more people in this palace in the future, and the queen will not be able to cover the sky with one hand forever. One day, she will avenge the child.
Looking at her lonely and somewhat unwilling expression, Nianzhu guessed that her master was thinking of the child again, and she felt uncomfortable.
But he could only pretend he didn't know and let Jing Zhaoyi recover on her own.
At dinner time, the emperor summoned Concubine Zhao to serve him.
Normally, after serving dinner, she should have stayed to sleep with the emperor directly, but surprisingly, Concubine Zhao only served dinner.
That night, the emperor chose Concubine Wang to sleep with him.
When Concubine Zhao came out of Jingqian Palace, her face turned black. When she heard the news, she smashed a set of tea sets.
The Queen's situation was not much better, and she was even more panicked than Concubine Zhao.
She realized belatedly that she should not have punished Ye Jun today. But it was useless to regret, so she could only find a way to solve the problem.
Now the emperor has disgraced Concubine Zhao, but everyone in the palace knows that Concubine Zhao is the queen's person, so this is a slap in the face of the queen.
It has to be said that the commotion caused by Ye Jun and Yi Wanrong changed the direction of the situation in the harem several times.
Fortunately, nowadays people pay their respects once every three days, which saves the queen from the embarrassment of having to receive everyone.
As for Ye Jun, she took advantage of these three days to carefully copy the palace rules.
And at this uneasy moment, Xia Baolin suddenly revealed that she was two and a half months pregnant.
As soon as the news came out, it caused a huge uproar, and the entire Lingxi Garden was looking at it with awe.
"Wanrong, I see that everyone else has left." Lumei came in carefully to report.
Ye Jun pinched his nose in annoyance and threw down the pen in his hand.
"Everyone else is going, so it's not good for you not to go. It's just a formality. When you come back, I'll make you almond cheese, okay?"
Huiyue coaxed him patiently, knowing that her master was tired of copying the palace rules.
"Then let's go. No need to change clothes." Ye Jun stood up helplessly. He was not willing to go in the first place, and he didn't want to dress up.
Lu Yan hurried to get an umbrella as it was very hot outside.
When she arrived, there were already many people in Xia Baolin's Yanyu Tower, and she was the last one to arrive.
Ye Jun stood quietly in the corner as a background, thinking that no one would notice her, but Ning Chen saw her.
It was not for any other reason, but because she was dressed too simply, in a misty blue dress, with her hair combed in the most common style, and she wore three hairpins in her hair, two short and one long, and she had no makeup on her face.
Judging from the time, it’s time for a nap. I guess this woman was woken up.
In any case, compared with the other concubines who were obviously dressed up, Ning Chen actually felt that Ye Jun was the most pleasing to the eye.
"Your Majesty." The Queen came out of the inner room holding Suqin's hand, with a smile on her face, "The imperial physician said that Xia Baolin's pregnancy is stable and his body is very good. He just needs to pay more attention to his diet in the future."
Ning Chen withdrew his thoughts, with a hint of joy in his eyes, and nodded slightly.
"That's good. We can stay in Lingxi Garden for a while. When we return to the palace, Xia Baolin will be three months pregnant. We won't be afraid of the long journey."
Although Xia was recommended by the Queen Mother, Ning Chen was still happy because she was pregnant with his child.
"Now that Concubine Wen is pregnant and Xia Baolin is pregnant, there will be more than just the eldest princess' child in the palace next year. It will be lively now!" Jing Zhaoyi said with a smile.
She has always been quiet and seldom speaks. Although she smiled at this moment, there was more envy in her eyes.
Ning Chen recalled what happened in the past and couldn't help but comfort her with a few words, but he also felt a little dissatisfied with the Queen in his heart.
He was young at that time and thought that Song had really fallen and had a miscarriage. But now that he thought about it carefully, she had so many servants protecting her, yet something happened. There must have been someone who did something wrong. This person was most likely the queen.
The Queen was embarrassed by what Concubine Jing said. The lack of offspring in the harem was due to her, as the legitimate wife, not doing a good job. Naturally, she was afraid that the Emperor would dislike her.
So he took the initiative to say, "Xia Baolin has been serving the emperor for more than a year. She has always been sensible. Now that she is pregnant, why not give her a promotion?"
"Well, then it's up to you. Promote Xia Baolin to Lady Xia." Ning Chen was not so stingy as to say this.
Finally, she continued, "Concubine Wen's pregnancy is already five months old. Although she is pregnant, she cannot be neglected. Queen, you have to take care of her more. Concubine Shu is not calm, so we cannot rely on her alone."
"Don't worry, Your Majesty. I will do my best." The Queen suppressed the pain in her heart and could only pretend to be magnanimous.
As for Concubine Wen's belly, the Queen wanted to personally pour a bowl of abortion medicine into her stomach and leave it to Concubine Shu to take care of. She also secretly wanted to make something happen to Concubine Wen.
But now the Emperor obviously wants to protect Concubine Wen's baby, and even if the Queen is unwilling, she must protect it.
After seeing Xia Cairen, everyone naturally dispersed.
Before leaving, Ye Jun was stopped and asked to be taken to Jingqian Palace by the emperor to be served with writing materials.
