“Baolin…” Shuangtao, the maid who was supporting Zhang, called out weakly.
"Go back." Zhang said with a sullen face.
Shuangtao didn't dare to say much and hurriedly followed her.
The little eunuch hiding in the corner saw everything that happened here, and he turned around and went to Fang Cairen.
After hearing the reply, Yao Xiang didn't show any reaction. He gave the reward and asked the person to leave.
Playing with a jade cicada in his hand, Yao Xiang looked out the window thoughtfully.
In her previous life, this Zhang, who came from an ordinary family and was born out of wedlock, was not a simple person. It was feared that at least two heirs to the throne in the harem had lost their lives in her hands.
Zhang was very good at being patient and dormant, and gave birth to the third prince. If she had not been asked to make great efforts to plan later, I am afraid that this prince could have done a lot.
In this life, Ye Jun is an exception, but having offended Zhang today, he will probably be plotted against in the future.
With Zhang's help, she only needed to help secretly and didn't have to do it herself, which saved a lot of effort.
Half an hour later, everyone came out of the Cining Palace. Concubine Shu stayed behind and begged the empress dowager to go and see the child.
The Queen Mother naturally didn't make things difficult for her.
The Queen Mother now does things according to Ning Chen's wishes. Since Ning Chen asked her to raise the princess, she would raise her. He did not ask her not to let Concubine Shu look after the child, so she would not stop him.
On the other side, the Queen returned to Fengqi Palace and listened to Su'e's story about Ye Jun and Zhang.
"Ye's temper never gets any better."
That’s right, she has criticized both the emperor’s old and new loves.
Su'e massaged her shoulders and said, "Empress Ye may look domineering, but she is actually calculating. Zhang Baolin wanted to use her to establish his authority as soon as he showed up. This is a wrong calculation."
"Let them fight, dogs bite dogs, and it will be clean if they die." The queen sneered, "What's going on between Concubine Wen and Ye?"
This is what she cares about. It is best for the women in the harem to form their own factions. Once they form a group, they will be difficult to deal with.
Concubine Wen is favored but has no family background, while Concubine Ye has a very good family background and is somewhat favored. If these two support each other, it will be difficult to deal with.
Su'e frowned and her hands slowed down. "I have already sent someone to inquire about it. I guess they are not involved. Maybe Lady Ye wants to curry favor with Concubine Wen. Concubine Wen has never taken the initiative to look for Lady Ye."
"Well, keep an eye on her. Concubine Shu has been quite well behaved these past few days. If she had been so, how could the mother and daughter be separated?" A hint of pride rose in the queen's eyes.
He stood up, walked to the desk, and opened the guest book for the Double Ninth Festival.
For this palace banquet, all officials above the third rank in Kyoto must bring their families into the palace to attend the banquet. Although everything has been arranged, they cannot be careless and must check everything carefully.
On the other side, the little fairy Ye, who bullied her old love and her new love, followed the truth that the villain is the first to complain, and had already gone to Jiuchen Palace with a twisted waist.
"Your Majesty, don't you know, wuwuwuwu... Zhang Baolin said in front of so many people, wuwuwuwu... that I can only wield a sword and a gun, and I don't know how to write, and... she also forced me to forgive her, wuwuwuwu... She asked me to kneel at every turn, is she trying to force me to death?"
Ye Jun was holding a handkerchief and crying so sadly. Her little look was so pitiful.
As the saying goes, walk in other people's paths and leave them with no way to go.
Didn’t Zhang want to establish the character of that little white flower? Doesn’t she know how to do it
Ning Chen, who was crying with her arms around him at that time, felt very uncomfortable. He was angry and wanted to laugh at the same time.
"Alright, stop pretending. Can't I punish her? Your clothes are soaked from your crying."
"How can Your Majesty say that I was pretending? I am so sad..." Ye Jun looked at him tearfully.
She bit her lips lightly with her pearly teeth, her brows slightly furrowed, looking extremely weak.
"Ye, that's enough!" Ning Chen gritted his teeth, growled softly, raised his hand and pinched the girl's face.
Ye Jun knew when to stop, so she stopped pretending and rubbed her tears against his body while wiping them away.
"Your Majesty, do you dislike me or do you dislike my personality? But Zhang Baolin is so weak, so your Majesty doesn't like me?" Ye Jun blinked her eyes.
Because she had just cried, her eye sockets and nose were pink, and she had a tearful tone and a nasal voice, making her look innocent, cute and adorable.
Ning Chen held his forehead with his hand, "Didn't I say to punish her? Zhang's words were rude and disrespectful to the high position, so she should be grounded for half a month."
It’s hard to say who you like, you can only say who you feel more comfortable with.
At present, Ye Jun can be considered someone who is comfortable to be with.
As for Zhang, they were getting along fine yesterday, but after Ye Jun imitated her like this today, Ning Chen suddenly felt uncomfortable.
I even doubted myself for a moment, wondering if there was something wrong with my vision yesterday.
But Ye Jun didn't care about all this. She came here to do bad things. Now that her goal was achieved, she would just leave.
"I see that His Majesty still has official business to attend to, so I will not disturb His Majesty. I will take my leave~"
Ning Chen was so angry that his teeth itched. It seemed that he was just used and then thrown away.
"Why didn't you feel like you were disturbing me just now? Now you want to leave?"
"I was so sad just now that I didn't expect these things." The bamboo fairy blinked her eyes, looking simple and innocent.
Moulong didn't buy it and pulled the man back.
"Serve me with pen and ink!"
Looking at the inkstone in front of him, Ye Jun curled his lips reluctantly, but he had no choice but to roll up his sleeves and get to work.
Fortunately, there were not many memorials, and I finished reviewing them in half an hour.
"Yuan Jiu, bring us the pair of red agate bracelets from the warehouse." Ning Chen suddenly said while holding a teacup.
"Yes." Yuan Jiu was stunned for a moment, then immediately responded and went down.
At this moment, Ye Jun was being served to go to the side hall to wash his hands. When he came back, he saw a yellow pear wood carved box on the table.
Yuan Jiu looked at the emperor's face and said with a smile, "My beauty, come and take a look at this bracelet. It suits you very well."
When the box was opened, inside was a pair of pure red agate carved bracelets with cloud patterns engraved on them, which were delicate and exquisite.
Ye Jun raised his eyebrows, picked it up and felt its warm touch. Judging from the texture, it must be top quality.
"This bracelet is free of impurities and has a lot of water. It is truly top-quality. The cloud pattern carved on it is elegant and graceful. I guess it must be a tribute from Liaojiang?"
"You know all this." Ning Chen was a little surprised.
"My maternal grandparents are merchants and they also deal in jade. My mother knows some of this, and I also know a thing or two." Ye Jun smiled.
Ning Chen glanced at her. Her expression did not seem fake. This woman really did not think that merchants were inferior to others. She was even... a little proud.
"Your Majesty, I thank you for your reward." Ye Jun bowed and immediately took off the pair of mutton-fat jade bracelets on her wrists.
Sure enough, the red agate complemented her skin tone, and her white and slender hands made Ning Chen want to grab and pinch them.
The atmosphere on this side was very good, but on the other side, Zhang Baolin, who had received the oral order, turned pale.
She had just served the emperor in bed once, but she was already confined to her room for half a month. Wasn't this just to trample her to death
She will not be able to attend the Double Ninth Festival ceremony the day after tomorrow, and the talents she prepared will be wasted. In half a month, the emperor will no longer remember her.
Zhang Baolin was so angry that he picked up a pair of scissors and cut the fan he had just repaired into pieces, but he still felt unsatisfied.
