"Why is the emperor still angry? I apologize to the emperor!"
In Yuxiu Pavilion, a certain enchantress was pulling the emperor's sleeve and acting coquettishly.
"Hmph, I'm the emperor, how can I not be angry?" Ning Chen turned his head.
Ye Jun twisted her waist and walked in front of him again, stretched out her hands and looked at him pitifully.
"Your Majesty is angry. I am so frightened that my heart has turned cold. My hands are cold. Your Majesty, please touch me."
The pair of white and tender little hands were waving under his eyelids. Ning Chen took a look, but turned his head away, refusing to give in.
Not being able to scare him with this look, Ye Jun raised her eyebrows and quickly put the back of her hand against Ning Chen's face.
He was not lying about his hands being cold. The icy touch made Ning Chen frown.
"Why are your hands so cold? Your clothes are too thin."
In the end, he still softened his heart and reached out to hold those soft hands.
Ye Jun smiled and said, "I have been staying indoors all these days, so I didn't know that the wind in the garden was strong. My skirt is indeed a little thin today, but it keeps your Majesty's hands warm."
"Okay, I won't bother you anymore. Go put on more clothes and don't catch a cold." Ning Chen said.
I wasn't that angry to begin with, it was just fun to make some noise.
Not long after, Ye Jun came out wearing a purple skirt.
Ning Chen waved for her to sit closer.
"Please make tea for me. I haven't had your tea for a long time."
"It's true that I haven't done it for a long time. I have always been lazy and I don't know if my skills have become rusty. Your Majesty, please don't dislike it." Ye Jun said with a smile.
Huiyue was serving on the side and immediately brought out the tea set.
The two of them started to make tea by the window in the house.
This is a set of purple clay tea sets. The small pot is particularly cute and makes a bubbling sound as it burns on the stove.
Ning Chen was eating the peony rolls and watching Ye Jun's smooth movements. He just felt extremely comfortable.
This is what it means to be with a beautiful woman.
However, he also took some time out from his busy schedule. He spent the entire morning, had lunch in Yuxiu Pavilion, and then had to go back to review memorials.
It’s November already, and the end of the year is always busier.
Ye Jun saw that there were faint dark circles under his eyes and insisted on letting him take a nap for more than half an hour.
Sure enough, after sleeping for a while, I felt much more energetic when I woke up.
When sending the man away, Ye Jun personally tidied his clothes while muttering to him.
"Your Majesty, please take care of yourself. The busy affairs of state are not as good as your health. Don't stay up late all the time. It's not only harmful to your health, but also to your eyes."
Now they are all candles, and even if we light more, it is still a little dim.
Ning Chen had heard this kind of chatter before, but it sounded especially good when it came from Ye Jun's mouth.
It was as if the hot-tempered chili pepper had given all her tenderness to herself.
Ye must be very fond of me, Ning Chen thought.
So, when I left Yuxiu Pavilion, I was in a very good mood and I was smiling all afternoon.
After the emperor left, Luzhi came in to deliver the message.
"Xiu Rong, Concubine Zhou came here just now, but she saw that the emperor was in the room, so she didn't come in. I just want this servant to bring you a message."
"What?"
"Today, Fang Xiuyuan's maid Nianwen went to Feihong Pavilion and stayed there for nearly half an hour before coming out. Then Baicao from Feihong Pavilion met Yunxi from Yi Xiuyuan outside the kitchen. The two seemed to have an argument and made a fuss for a while."
Hearing this, Ye Jun narrowed his eyes slightly.
Yunxi has had many conflicts with the servants of Yuxiu Pavilion. This palace maid was involved in several conflicts between her and Yi Xiuyuan. She is really a troublesome person.
However, under normal circumstances, it would be normal for Yunxi to argue with others, but at this time, Ye Jun was paying attention to everything related to the Yao and Su families, and he couldn't help but think more about it.
"Watch for another two days to see if the people from Feihong Pavilion and Langhuaxuan have any other interactions."
Luzhi nodded and retreated.
Nan Zhi spoke up at this moment, "Does Xiurong suspect that Yi Xiuyuan is being plotted against?"
"I'm not entirely sure." Ye Jun narrowed his eyes. "Don't go out during this period. Be careful. Otherwise, we may be targeted. There are only a few people in the harem who are worth taking action against."
Maybe it was because she was too clean that Su chose to get close to Yi Xiuyuan.
Anyway, I'd rather die than let my friend die, so I'll protect myself first.
Ye Jun thought about it and immediately sent a message to Wang Xiuyi, Zhou Cairen and Zheng Baolin, asking them to all keep an eye on the situation.
Wang Xiuyi had had the opportunity to take care of palace affairs, and she had planted one or two spies, who were the first to reply to the message.
In the past two days, Yunxi, who was beside Yi Xiuyuan, had met Baicao several times, both openly and secretly.
Every time, the two of them could talk for at least a cup of tea.
It looked like they were not getting along and arguing, but something didn't seem right.
At this point, Ye Jun was completely certain that Yi Xiuyuan should be listed as the target of the Su and Yao families.
There is no need to talk about the method of this frame-up. Concubine Su has a ready-made bomb in her belly.
It is always disgusting to use children's lives to plot against others.
Ye Jun bent his fingers and tapped on the table, wondering whether he should give a reminder or not.
Yao's hostility towards her seemed to be very deep, and it must be far more than just killing her personal maid.
In comparison, although Yi Xiuyuan and I have been fighting each other, it has not yet reached the point of life and death.
On the contrary, Yao was extremely ruthless in his attacks.
In Ye Jun's opinion, Su did not have the means and courage to do so, and this time the action must have been directed by Yao.
Seeing that the new bride was about to enter the palace, she was also planning to give birth to a boy or a girl, so she might as well take this opportunity to suppress Yao for a while.
It also allows me to spend the New Year comfortably.
"I rarely take the initiative to visit others. Let's go to Langhuaxuan today. After all, we are one of the first batch of people to enter the palace. After all, the relationship between me and Yi Xiuyuan is different."
Ye Jun stood up calmly, with a gleam of light in her beautiful eyes.
The maids didn't quite understand what she was going to do, but they still made arrangements to go out quickly.
However, for Lang Huaxuan, Ye Jun's arrival could be regarded as an uninvited guest.
It was afternoon at that time and Yi Xiuyuan was playing with the child.
The third prince is almost eight months old and is now learning to crawl.
Although the clothes they wear are thick in winter, it still can't stop the boys from being active and rolling around on the soft couch.
Yi Xiuyuan was in a good mood when the eunuch guarding the gate told her that Ming Xiurong had arrived.
"Ye, what is she doing here?"
In an instant, his expression darkened.
Yunxiu frowned, "Are you looking for trouble again? This is too much."
"I saw that Ming Xiurong brought some children's toys and seemed to be here to visit. If Xiuyuan doesn't want to see her, I will send her away." The young eunuch said honestly.
Yunxi immediately snorted coldly, "No, no, our Xiuyuan is a high-ranking official, Langhuaxuan is not a place where she can come at will."
