The queen was efficient and immediately started preparing for the lotus viewing banquet once she decided to do so.
The date was set for ten days later, which should give Yang Cainu time to prepare.
"The Queen really loves to make trouble. Why is there any lotus appreciation on such a hot day?"
After receiving the post from Wutong Palace, Sun Xiuyi complained a few words.
Then he sneered, "The Queen is probably still thinking about supporting her cousin. If she gets what she wants, it will make us look easy to control. Send someone to find out what Yang has been doing these days."
The palace maid who served her personally immediately responded and went out.
Sun Xiuyi sat on a small table by the window, eating fruit, but her eyes were full of worries.
Every new person entering the palace is a tough one to deal with. Originally, she only had Concubine Wen above her. Now that Concubine Wen is pregnant, she has to serve her more.
But now, seeing that Wu, Ye and Yao have all risen, Chen Baolin has the support of the empress dowager, Yang has the queen, and there are also those who were already favored. With this difference, she rarely sees the emperor now.
It would certainly not work to go on like this. After all, she is not as fresh as the concubines below. In this case, she will have to be trampled to death one by one.
If we talk about people who are keeping an eye on Yang, it's not just Sun Xiuyi.
Now Concubine Zhao is also feeling very uncomfortable.
Before the newcomer entered the palace, the queen supported her with all her strength, and she considered herself loyal. But now the queen is different. With such an easy-to-control cousin, she naturally doesn't care about her anymore.
Without the support of the queen, she had not been served once in Lingxi Garden for such a long time.
The last time I went to Jingqian Palace, I was treated as a fool by the emperor. It was so embarrassing.
How can I not be angry
She worked hard to climb to the position of Jieyushi, and if she was promoted one more rank, she would be one of the nine concubines.
In Nanqi, there is no saying that concubines can only become imperial concubines after giving birth to children. As long as you are favored and the emperor is willing to promote you, it's enough.
Look at Sun Xiuyi now, doesn't she have any children
But because of his status, his food, clothing and other expenses are several times better than theirs.
Concubine Zhao knew that the Queen wanted to have a child through Yang's womb, but Yang was not the only one who could give birth.
She doesn't have the deep love between mother and son. If she gave him to the queen as her legitimate son and he became the emperor in the future, could she still treat his biological mother badly
With one person plotting against her and another, Yang Cainu was like a lamb to be slaughtered.
But this is none of Ye Jun’s business. She just lives her own life behind closed doors.
But even so, people with ulterior motives will always come to you.
Look, the freshly baked Fang Cairen came with a plate of snacks.
"Sister Ye, please don't think I'm annoying. I heard that you are a good cook. This is the snack I made. I brought it for you to taste."
Fang Cairen directed Qiwen who followed her to put out the snacks.
Although Ye Jun was annoyed, he didn't have the courage to kick the person out, so he picked it up and took a bite with a fake smile.
"It tastes good, but wouldn't it be better if it were heated up?"
I always feel like something is missing.
Fang Cairen looked puzzled and took a bite. Then she said embarrassedly, "I came late. I sent a portion to the Queen first, which delayed me for a while. Why not ask someone to take it down and heat it up? It won't take too much time."
Such enthusiasm was hard to refuse, so Ye Jun asked someone to follow Qiwen.
Two people were gossiping in the room, and most of the time it was Fang Cai who was talking.
Ye Jun is so annoyed. This hypocritical guy comes every few days. Does he have gold on him
Yao was not stupid. She could naturally see that Ye Jun disliked her, so she went back after sitting for a while.
But this trip almost cost Ye Jun his life.
Of course, this is all a story for later. Ye Jun is feeling very sleepy now and needs to take a nap first.
At night, Yi Wanrong slept with the emperor, and Wu was now quite favored.
I heard that the cousin sent to Gunzhou by her clan was quite capable and had already arranged things there.
This time when he returns to Beijing, he will definitely be promoted.
In order to show his respect for the Wu family, Ning Chen had to spend more time with Yi Wanrong.
Ye Jun was not in a hurry. In the harem, the one who stands out first is always the most dangerous. She hasn't established herself yet, so she just had to endure it slowly.
It will be three years before the next new person enters the palace. This amount of time is enough for her to get a general idea of the situation in the harem.
Greetings the next day.
Li Meiren and Chen Baolin, who had disappeared for a long time, also came. Both of them were like quails, never jumping around again.
Compared to the beautiful lady who still had a stern look in her eyes, Chen Baolin seemed to have improved a lot.
At least she was no longer wearing the string of beads that the Queen Mother had awarded her.
In fact, Chen Baolin was not stupid, otherwise the clan would not have chosen her. She just had just entered the palace, so she was a little impatient and arrogant.
Now that he has been under house arrest for a while and has calmed down, he looks much more stable and serious.
The Queen once again brought up the matter of the Lotus Appreciation Banquet, and said with a lenient expression, "Although you two have displeased the Emperor before, you have reflected on it recently, so don't feel bad. The day after tomorrow, dress up nicely and enjoy the lotus feast."
This time the scar was exposed in front of everyone again.
Lady Li looked shy and embarrassed, but Chen Baolin was calm.
The queen looked at Chen twice more before looking away. She was afraid that she would not be able to plot against her cousin so easily next time.
After saying these things, a few of the favored ones started to quarrel with each other.
Yi Wanrong was naturally the first to be hit, but Sun Xiuyi was also a good talker, with a higher position than her and a lot of favors, which basically left Yi Wanrong speechless.
Ye Jun was drinking tea, eating snacks, and looking happy.
Who would have thought that when he came back from Wutong Palace, he saw the dragon sedan chair parked outside Zhaixing Pavilion.
The eunuch guarding the door came over and said, "Wanrong, the emperor has been here for two incense sticks of time. He is reading inside now. Tea and snacks are served."
"Okay, I understand." Ye Jun smiled, and helped Huiyue to go in. Suddenly, he turned to the eunuch and asked, "What's your name?"
"Replying to Wanrong, this servant is Xiao Shunzi."
"From now on, you can be called Bai Zhu. You will be in charge of the eunuchs around me. Go find Huiyue to get a new set of clothes later."
After Ye Jun finished speaking, he walked into the yard.
Bai Zhu was left behind and kowtowed in gratitude, his forehead turning red.
When I got inside, I saw Ning Chen standing in front of the bookshelf, holding a book in one hand and the other hand behind his back. He was wearing a silver-white bamboo-patterned suit and a gold and jade belt around his waist. He looked very handsome.
"So the emperor is here. No wonder I always wanted to come back early when I was sitting in Wutong Palace."
Ye Jun walked forward with a smile and took the book from Ning Chen's hand.
"Now that I am here, Your Majesty should look at me instead of reading books."
The girl tilted her head slightly, with her eyebrows raised, full of charm, and her beautiful eyes curved into a smile, smart and charming.
Ning Chen looked at her for a while longer, then realized the embarrassment and poked Ye Jun's head with his hand, "You are so unruly. I haven't had breakfast yet, hurry up and prepare it."
"Yes, yes, how can we let the emperor's dragon stomach go hungry!" Ye Jun joked and went to prepare.
Ning Chen was left confused, and Yuan Jiu was holding back his laughter.
