Ning Chen naturally wouldn't listen to her one-sided story.
I asked the imperial physician again, and unexpectedly, there was some truth in his answer.
This made Concubine Shu even more excited, and she directly expressed her intentions.
"In my opinion, for the sake of the health of the eldest prince and Concubine Wende, it is better to send them back to the palace to recuperate."
Perhaps because he was afraid that he could not accomplish it on his own, he glanced at the crowd and picked out two of them.
"Yi Xiuyuan, Ming Jieyu, don't you agree?"
"Your Highness the Concubine has good intentions, but I have no right to interfere in your affairs," said Yi Xiuyuan.
This statement is ambiguous anyway.
She agreed with Concubine Shu's opinion, but she did not express her own opinion.
Ye Jun was even more direct and passed the blame quickly.
"I am not an imperial physician, and I don't know any medical skills. You should ask the imperial physician where the Empress Defei and the eldest prince should rest."
Concubine Wende was a little panicked by the pressure from one or two people.
She hurriedly said, "Although it is cool in Lingxi Garden, the temperature is getting hotter now. Secondly, the emperor is in Lingxi Garden, and with the protection of the emperor's dragon energy, I think the illness of the eldest prince and this concubine will recover faster."
Of course she didn't want to go back.
This time I go back, I won’t be able to see the emperor for several months, not to mention that the queen is in the palace.
If the Queen wants to take control of her and her son, what can they do when the Emperor is not around
Ning Chen saw her anxiety and knew in his heart that if he sent Concubine Wende and her son back to the palace, Concubine Wende would probably become even more overly worried.
He sighed and patted the back of Concubine Wende's hand soothingly.
"You and the eldest prince should stay in the garden to recuperate. Since you cannot stand the cold air, use less ice in the house. When you go to bed at night, don't open all the windows. The garden is full of water breeze, which is the coolest."
"Thank you for your concern, Your Majesty. I will take good care of the eldest prince and myself." Concubine Wende nodded.
The expression on his face finally relaxed a little.
Seeing that there was nothing new to come out of this, Ye Jun lost interest in watching the show.
She bowed and said, "Your Highness, Concubine De needs to rest. I will take my leave now and will not disturb you."
Ning Chen turned his head to look at her, then waved his hand, "Well, you can leave."
With Ye Jun leading the way, the other concubines had no choice but to leave.
After leaving Magnolia Garden, Concubine Shu snorted coldly, "I never thought that Concubine Ming was still so kind and even cared about whether Concubine Wende was recovering from her illness."
It was her fault that she didn't help speak up just now.
"Oh, didn't I use all my kindness on you, Madam? When I accompanied the Emperor on his northern tour of the Jasak, I was the one who sympathized with you and missed your daughter. I informed the Emperor and sent you back to the palace. Now that you are here, Concubine De, I have used up all my kindness."
Are you kidding? Just because I’m not on good terms with Concubine Wende, I’m on good terms with you
Ye Jun glanced at her indifferently, and without waiting for Concubine Shu to say anything, he left.
When the old matter was brought up again, Concubine Shu's face immediately changed with anger.
When she was sent back to the palace, it was such a humiliation, and she was often ridiculed by the Queen and Concubine Wende both openly and covertly.
But she couldn't do anything to Ye Jun back then, and she couldn't do it now.
I have to bear this anger.
He waved his hand and got into the sedan chair and was driven away.
Yi Xiuyuan watched the whole process silently and had some thoughts in her mind.
On the way back, I chatted with my personal maid.
"Yunxiu, how dare Ye? She is just a concubine, while Shufei is a concubine of the second rank."
"She is so domineering because she relies on the emperor's favor. Ming Jieyi is so disrespectful to her elders that she will be disliked by the emperor sooner or later. How can she compare to you, Xiuyuan, who is dignified and gentle." Yunxiu said disdainfully.
Yi Xiuyuan still felt something was wrong and frowned slightly.
"But I feel that the emperor likes her personality, which makes me look a little dull."
Yunxi also responded with the same disdain.
"This man always wants something new. Ming Jieyu's personality is rare, so the emperor must be more envious of her. But she is like the chili in the dish. The spiciness is fresh and delicious occasionally, but it cannot be eaten as a meal."
Only these words convinced Yi Xiuyuan a little.
After all, women are now educated to be virtuous and kind, and Yi Xiuyuan still feels that she is orthodox in her heart.
How can the emperor's concubines not be dignified and reserved
But unfortunately, the word "dignified and dignified" is not Ye Yun's style.
Thinking that the Emperor would definitely accompany Concubine Wende in Magnolia Garden, she took off her shoes and socks as soon as she returned to Jiaotang Garden, changed into a light gauze skirt, and lay down on the beauty couch in the inner hall.
He wasn't sleeping, he was just leaning on the pillow and reading a storybook.
His mouth is not idle either.
There was a plate of sliced watermelon and chilled grapes on the table, and I would put one in my mouth from time to time.
This storybook contains the most classic story of a scholar and a young lady. Although the story is old, the author is quite talented in writing, and the writing is vivid and interesting. It is also a great way to kill time by reading it.
He read for about half an hour, and when it was almost time for lunch, he put the book down and stretched.
When I stretched my legs, I touched something warm and soft.
When I looked down, I found that it was Nian Gao sleeping on the soft couch.
I suddenly felt playful and put my feet on the back of the rice cake and kneaded it like noodles.
Nian Gao was too lazy to do anything. He just opened his eyelids for a moment and let her be without moving.
This made Ye Jun laugh and scold, "Lazy guy."
"Aren't you a lazy fellow, too?"
Suddenly, a familiar voice came from the door. Looking up, it was Ning Chen.
Ye Jun didn't stand up, but remained seated, and only greeted verbally.
This is against the rules, but who can blame the emperor for not caring
As you get closer, you can see the girl's pink jade feet stepping on the snow-white fur of the rice cake, which is so delicate and beautiful.
"Your Majesty, please sit down." Ye Jun extended his hand to him.
Ning Chen took her hand and let her pull him to sit next to him.
His eyes fell on the soft hands again, "When did you get nail polish on?"
"I dyed it the day before yesterday. It took a lot of effort." Ye Jun replied.
Knowing that this man liked her hands, she stretched out both of them for him to see.
Ning Chen really took it and squeezed it.
"De Fei is ill, and her diet is different from mine, so it is inconvenient for me to eat. I will have lunch here, as I have to go back to Jingqian Palace to review memorials later."
Seeing that he was not in a very good mood, Ye Jun stopped making trouble and nodded obediently.
"It's easy to get hot in the summer, so I'll ask someone to make some mung bean soup and a few refreshing side dishes."
"It's up to you. You always make arrangements." Ning Chen said.
When it comes to eating, Ye Jun is indeed the best.
Soon, a table full of dishes was served in the kitchen. Most of them were vegetarian. They looked light, smelled fresh and were very appetizing.
The two of them sat down and had a meal, and finally drank mung bean soup.
It was Han Yan who brought the soup.
As soon as she came in, her eyes seemed to be fixed on Ning Chen. She should have put down the soup and left, but she was distracted and said something bravely.
"This mung bean soup has been simmered for a long time. It is perfect for clearing away heat and relieving summer heat. I will serve a bowl to His Majesty."
