"No, I'm not worthy of being called your Majesty." Ye Jun narrowed his eyes.
As the last of the nine concubines, she is proud but not arrogant.
Yi Shunrong obviously meant the same thing. She chuckled, turned her head back to drink her tea, and said nothing.
These two were the ones who started this fight, and now they are leaving Qin out in the cold.
For a moment, Qin was embarrassed and at a loss.
"Well, now that you have already paid your respects, you can go back and rest first, and wait for the emperor to summon you. After serving him in bed, you will become formal concubines."
The queen waved her hand, ending this first meeting between the new and old generations.
After leaving Fengqi Palace, Ye Jun had no intention of going back.
We went all the way to Jiuchen Palace.
Everyone thought she was just anxious. After all, the newcomers to the palace were not bad either, and she had no children, so her position was not as stable as Yi Shunrong's.
Ye Jun doesn’t care what others think, she only cares about what the emperor thinks.
As one of the oldest and most favored concubines, she had to consolidate her position and charm the heart of her financial master.
When she arrived, Ning Chen had just come out of court and had not yet changed out of his dragon robe.
Ye Jun came in and bowed first, then looked him up and down with his bright eyes.
"The emperor looks so majestic and handsome in this."
"You come up here and you praise me. What bad ideas do you have?"
Ning Chen looked at her with a smile and waved for her to come over.
Yuan Jiu, who was standing nearby, tactfully made way for him.
"Your Majesty always says this to me. Am I so bad?" Ye Jun gave him a coquettish look.
But she skillfully helped him unbuckle his belt, take off his heavy coat, and took casual clothes from the rack, then walked around behind Ning Chen and helped him change.
"I just came to see that there is a new person in the palace. Has the emperor forgotten me?"
As she said this, she was smoothing the wrinkles on Ning Chen's collar and looked up at him.
When their eyes met, the girl's look seemed to be coquettish, but there was also a hint of cunning in it.
It was as if she knew Ning Chen would never forget her, but she still wanted to ask.
This expression made Ning Chen feel funny. He raised his arm and held the person tightly in his arms.
"If I forget you, you will tear down my Jiuchen Palace."
"Since the emperor knows, you must never forget it."
Ye Jun curled her eyes seductively, raised a finger and drew circles on the man's chest through his coat.
The itchy and numb feeling made Ning Chen's breathing heavy.
But this was not the time to act recklessly, so he could only hold back and take away the troublesome little hand.
Lead the person to sit on the couch by the window.
Yuan Jiu, who was waiting in the outer hall, took a peek inside and quickly asked the little palace maid to come in and serve tea and snacks.
“Have we met in Fengqi Palace today?” Ning Chen asked after taking a sip of tea.
In fact, he couldn't even remember what those rookie girls looked like.
I only met them once and forgot about them the moment I turned around.
Ye Jun nodded, picked up a piece of walnut cake and took a bite.
"They are all beauties. The emperor is blessed. Especially Qin Baolin, who is really special and looks dashing."
When she said this, she paid special attention to Ning Chen's expression.
But he was confused.
"Qin sealed Baolin?"
Ye Jun frowned, "Yes, doesn't the emperor know?"
"Oh, there's been a lot of time these past two days, and I'll forget about it after a while." Ning Chen smoothed it over, but his eyes darkened.
There is definitely something wrong.
Ye Jun saw it but said nothing.
Obviously Ning Chen was unwilling to say that if it was not his instruction, then it must be the Queen's work.
It seems that Qin was also made into a living target by the Queen.
Think about it, when she first entered the palace, she was used as a gun by this dog emperor.
In order to divert the Queen Mother's anger and protect Yi Shunrong, he asked her to stand in front.
"What are you thinking about? You're in a daze."
Ning Chen saw that she was distracted, so he spoke.
Retracting his thoughts, Ye Jun raised his eyebrows and said in a deliberately pretentious tone.
"I'm regretting it now. I just teased Qin Baolin in Fengqi Palace today. If the emperor invites me to sleep with him today, I will lose face."
As she spoke, she flicked the handkerchief in her hand, twisted her waist, and pouted her lips, looking extremely coquettish.
Ning Chen was amused by her and thought that this woman was very cute even when she was being pretentious.
He took a piece of the snack in front of him and handed it to her.
"You are the only one who likes to have wild thoughts. When did I say that I would invite her to sleep with me? Do you think you can escape now that she is here?"
Regardless of whether what he said was true or false, Ye Jun felt comfortable listening to it.
He bit the snack and brought it over with his mouth, then held it in his hands and ate it bite by bite.
There were some crumbs at the corners of his mouth, but he didn't need to wipe them with a handkerchief. He just swept them across with the tip of his tongue and ate them all.
Flirtatious like a cat.
Ning Chen felt jealous and fed her another piece before stopping.
The two of them sat for a while, and then the memorials collected for this morning's court session were delivered.
It’s piled up like a small mountain.
In three months, September will be the autumn imperial examination, and preparations are already underway everywhere.
This is a national affair and we must not be careless.
Since Ye Jun was here, he didn't need Yuan Jiu to serve him with writing materials and just started working directly.
It's been a long time since she came to serve me with pen and ink.
Ning Chen didn't like to summon concubines to serve him with writing. When he occasionally called someone, it was mostly when there were changes in the court. Apart from sleeping with the emperor, this was another way of showing favor in reality.
Today is really busy.
I reviewed memorials in the morning, had lunch, took a half-hour nap, and then started reviewing memorials again.
Ning Chen wrote all day, and Ye Jun spent the whole day grinding ink. By the evening, his hands were so sore.
She herself is very miserable, and is envied and jealous by others.
On the first night when the new bride entered the palace, the emperor kept Ming Xiurong in Jiuchen Palace for the whole day. It seemed that she would be there at night.
In Fengqi Palace, the Queen has also been having people keep an eye on her.
When it was almost time for dinner, he sent the manager of the Jingshifang to go there.
"Your Majesty, today is the first night for the new couple to enter the palace. Where will Your Majesty sleep? Your servants should also prepare early."
Ye Jun was sitting next to Ning Chen at this moment, and his eyes suddenly turned cold.
The Queen is really annoying.
But at this moment, Ye Jun didn't know what to say, so he could only wait and see what Ning Chen thought.
He glanced to the side and saw that Ning Chen's face had darkened a little, and he knew what was going on.
Sure enough, the man sneered and spoke.
"I think you are blind. Don't you see Ming Xiurong is right here? Since you are such a talker and can't do your job well, you don't have to do the job of Jingshifang Manager anymore. Let's find someone else."
The visitor obviously did not expect this to happen. He opened his eyes wide and wanted to beg for mercy, but he did not dare to lose his composure and offend his master.
Finally, he opened his mouth, but could only bow his head to thank the master and was taken out.
If you think about it carefully, you will know why.
Ning Chen had just shown a little interest in Qin when the Queen deliberately praised him to death. Today Ye Jun had stayed in Jiuchen Palace for a day, so it goes without saying that she doted on him. The Queen also deliberately sent someone to ask about it, in an attempt to lead Ning Chen somewhere else.
If Ning Chen really chose someone else, Ye Jun would lose all his face.
This is like suppressing whoever the emperor favors.
The young and energetic Ning Chen naturally didn't like the queen's little tricks.
