"Miss Wen?" Concubine Hui's voice sounded warm and soft in her ears.
Wen Qingzhu suddenly woke up and quickly lowered his eyebrows to hide the emotion in his eyes.
"Empress." Wen Qingzhu glanced at Jiang Yue first, and found that Jiang Yue didn't notice anything strange about her, and then returned to Concubine Hui.
The smile on Concubine Hui's face was very shallow, but it gave people a very calming force: "This Moon Tower is the best place to view the entire royal enclosure. Do you like it?"
Wen Qingzhu liked it before, but now she hates it extremely.
However, she did not show it, but nodded and smiled shyly: "My daughter is able to have such an honor, thanks to your majesty's grace."
Concubine Hui nodded and chatted with her about the scenery here.
With someone talking to her, and the fact that Concubine Hui was still thoughtful and impeccable in her work, Wen Qingzhu naturally became more energetic.
For the time being, all those things in the past life that were so painful that I couldn't breathe were left behind.
While the two were chatting, Eunuch Fang cautiously said from behind: "Your Majesty, Prime Minister Pei is here."
Hearing this, Concubine Hui said wisely: "Your Majesty, this child has fallen in love with me. Please take her down for a walk."
"Go." Jiang Yue glanced at Concubine Hui and felt very comfortable. He liked such knowledgeable people, regardless of gender.
In the past, Yun Wan was the one he valued most, but when he thought about what happened last night, Jiang Yue couldn't help but frown.
Wen Qingzhu here followed Concubine Hui and passed by Prime Minister Pei.
She felt keenly that Prime Minister Pei Yu was looking at her.
After a few steps downstairs, Wen Qingzhu felt that Pei Yu's gaze was strange.
As for the Fu family, she and Fu Yu had met a few times, and they were somewhat related.
But as for the Pei family, Pei Yi didn't say anything, and Pei Zhixuan and he were just a nod.
How could Pei Yu notice him
Even if Jiang Yue gives her face now, she is no more than an unmarried daughter from an ordinary official's family.
"Miss Wen?" Concubine Hui's voice appeared in her ears again.
Wen Qingzhu quickly looked over and found Concubine Hui looking at her: "But you didn't get a good rest last night?"
"Thank you for your concern, your Majesty. Too many things have happened recently." Wen Qingzhu didn't feel tired, but she felt that things were out of her control, which made her unable to stabilize her mentality.
They went to the pavilion next to them and sat down, and the palace maid immediately served them refreshments.
Wen Qingzhu's heart sank for no reason as he looked at these familiar palace pastries.
Concubine Hui seemed to notice her change in mood and explained softly: "The fifth prince sent someone to prepare these refreshments. He said they were sent to the Wen family before and you liked them very much."
Sure enough, it was still Jiang Yuancheng.
Wen Qingzhu took a deep breath and smiled: "I was able to eat these snacks thanks to my ninth brother's blessing. Now that I'm older, I'm not greedy anymore. I just drink some tea."
"Then try it. Do you like this tea?" Concubine Hui looked at the tea on the table.
Wen Qingzhu raised the tea cup, took a sip, and said sincerely: "This tea is well brewed and tastes sweet."
Seeing her sincere expression, Concubine Hui's smile became a bit genuine: "Actually, Empress Wanbi's craftsmanship is the best in terms of tea art. Your Majesty likes her crafts the most. Even when the Empress is here, Your Majesty will go there every month. One or two trips to Wanbi’s side.”
Wan concubine? Isn’t she Concubine Wangui
Did you mention the Queen? Nowadays, most people dare not mention Empress Zheng casually.
Wen Qingzhu continued to drink tea. After finishing half of the tea, he felt relieved and looked at Concubine Hui calmly.
Did she do it intentionally or unintentionally
Concubine Hui also looked over calmly: "When I first entered the palace, I didn't understand anything. Thanks to the Queen's care, Dejia was able to grow up smoothly. It was also the Queen who took care of us."
Wen Qingzhu didn't say a word. Concubine Hui was not the kind of person who always made close friends with everyone she met.
"You guys go down and wait." Seeing Wen Qingzhu's expression become more serious, Concubine Hui raised her hand and ordered.
There was no one else around, so Wen Qingzhu raised his head and asked, "Mother, what do you mean-"
"I know you are Doctor Xue." Concubine Hui's voice was very low, but when it fell on Wen Qingzhu's ears, it was like thunder.
Wen Qingzhu felt a little uneasy. How did Concubine Hui find out
Although Concubine Hui is very smart, she wouldn't have discovered it so quickly, right
Seeing her like this, Concubine Hui continued: "Actually, I only had a guess at first. She figured it out when Dejia went to the dinner with you that time."
"Your Majesty." Seeing Concubine Hui being so frank, Wen Qingzhu calmed down.
Concubine Hui nodded and talked about Concubine Wan, "Aren't you curious why I mentioned Concubine Wan?"
"Please let me know clearly." Wen Qingzhu simply got up and spoke directly.
"Concubine Wan was still concubine Wangui before last night. She made a mistake in front of His Majesty at night and was demoted. The reason is related to the Queen."
Wen Qingzhu's eyes flashed: "What did Concubine Wan say?"
"Talking about an old incident from back then." Concubine Hui looked into Wen Qingzhu's eyes, her gaze gradually becoming deeper.
More than half an hour later, Qin Hetai came over with a group of soldiers and personally practiced the drill for Jiang Yue to see.
Wen Qingzhu looked at the people on the field, but his mind drifted far away.
Just now Concubine Hui talked about an old incident from that year.
Jiang Yue doted on Concubine Zhou. Empress Zheng spoke out and remonstrated, and had a quarrel with Jiang Yue.
Seven days later, Jiang Yue went to the queen in person to apologize, saying that he would not be able to sleep with Concubine Zhou within a month.
Outsiders thought that the queen and Concubine Zhou were at odds, but the queen actually had a very good relationship with Concubine Zhou.
The reason why Jiang Yue was told not to go to Concubine Zhou often was to protect Concubine Zhou.
Logically speaking, only the Queen, Zhou Guifei, Jiang Yue and the others knew about this matter.
But Concubine Hui had a low status at that time and often went to the queen's place. After a long time, she naturally guessed the reason.
After Concubine Zhou died, Empress Zheng confided to Concubine Hui late at night that she was sorry for Concubine Zhou.
But in fact, Jiang Yue was the only one who really felt sorry for Concubine Zhou.
Last night, Yun Wan mentioned what Empress Zheng said again.
This time, Jiang Yue was completely furious.
Originally, Jiang Yue was in a good mood because of Wen Qingzhu.
But Yun Wan's admonishment not only mentioned Zhou Guifei, but also reminded Jiang Yue of Empress Zheng who passed away three years ago.
After thinking about these things, Wen Qingzhu lowered his head and drank tea.
But he didn't want a shadow to be cast above his head.
"Miss Wen."
Wen Qingzhu raised his eyes and saw that Yunxian was standing outside.
Concubine Hui had already gone to Wangyue Tower to accompany Jiang Yue, and Wen Qingzhu was the only one here.
"Miss Yun." Wen Qingzhu nodded.
Yun Xian came in and sat down, looked at the untouched snacks on the table, and asked with concern: "Don't Miss Wen like these?"
"Yeah." Wen Qingzhu looked at him in surprise. Is Yun Xian here to inquire about the situation on behalf of Jiang Yuancheng
Yun Xian saw through her meaning at a glance and said with a smile: "My cousin is busy patrolling now and has no time to come and accompany Miss Wen personally. I hope Miss Wen doesn't mind."
"Why would I mind? The fifth prince has nothing to do with me." Wen Qingzhu's expression was very cold, and the smile hanging on the corner of his mouth seemed to be a touch of ridicule.
Yun Xian pursed her lips, not sure what Wen Qingzhu was thinking.
Anyone can see that the emperor has entrusted Jiang Yuancheng with a heavy responsibility, and he is afraid that he will be crowned king soon.
If Wen Qingzhu marries her, she will be the princess.
"Miss Wen, are what you said to His Majesty true?" Yun Xian couldn't help but ask.
Jiang Yuancheng likes Wen Qingzhu, and if Wanbi hadn't been stuck, their marriage might have been put on the agenda.
Wen Qingzhu raised his eyebrows and looked over, and found that Yun Xian's face was calm and calm, but her slightly trembling hands still betrayed her.
After looking Yunxian up and down, Wen Qingzhu found her even interesting.
On the surface, he came here to check on Jiang Yuancheng, but in fact, he still had his own little thoughts.
Wen Qingzhu suddenly had an idea in his mind. When the Yun family left the capital, Yun Xian might not have taken the same path as Yunting.
If Yunxian lets Jiang Yuancheng take notice now, things might be easier to handle.
Although the Yun family has ambitions, the only one who is really powerful is Yun Wan who entered the palace.
"If Miss Yun likes the fifth prince, why not fight for it yourself?"
Yun Xian's heart skipped a beat, but she denied it: "Miss Wen, don't—"
"Don't talk nonsense? If Miss Yun places her hopes on Concubine Wan, at most she will become a concubine in the future and it will be regarded as Concubine Wan's favor."
Wen Qingzhu pointed out Yunxian's situation sharply, and Yun Wan really looked down on the Yun family.
Yunxian's mood was very complicated. She actually knew that Wen Qingzhu didn't like Jiang Yuancheng.
But Jiang Yuancheng liked Wen Qingzhu. Even though Yun Xian felt unwilling to do so, she could only endure it and plan her own plans slowly.
But things are different now. Jiang Yuancheng has caught the emperor's eye.
If the fifth prince becomes the king, Yunxian feels that Wanbi looks down on her even more.
"Please give me some advice from Miss Wen." Yun Xian now had to admit that she was indeed not as good as Wen Qingzhu.
Wen Qingzhu was startled when he saw Yun Xian being frank.
She laughed randomly: "Wanbi is your aunt. Of course you want to please her, but now the one who can make the decision for the fifth prince is the emperor. Concubine Cheng can also have a say."
Yun Xian still didn't understand, but Wen Qingzhu stood up, looked at the soldiers retreating on the field and said, "Miss Yun, you might as well think about it carefully, I'll leave first."
After getting up and going to Madam Lei San, Lei Shuo quickly waved her to the back.
Wen Qingzhu walked over and avoided everyone's sight.
I heard Lei Shuo whisper: "The county chief wants to see you. To be more precise, Lu Lei has been poisoned and needs your help."
"Now?" Wen Qingzhu glanced at the people here worriedly. There were a lot fewer people here today. Her departure was very conspicuous.
Lei Shuo shook his head: "The county master used Qianjin Pills to suppress Lu Lei's toxicity. He will be fine for three days. If we go over tonight, Brother Xiushan is coming."
Just as he was talking, Lei Yan brought Lei Xiushan over.
"Seventh sister." Lei Yan was in a good mood and waved to them.
Wen Qingzhu was about to answer when he saw Jiang Yuancheng coming over not far away, supporting Pei Zhixuan.
Who is Pei Zhixuan? The most beautiful woman in the capital, she attracts everyone's attention wherever she goes.
Although Wen Qingzhu has been in the spotlight these past two days, many people lost interest because she could dress low-key today.
Lei Shuo also saw it and frowned: "Is she interested in the fifth prince?"
Wen Qingzhu didn't think so. She suddenly thought of Pei Yu's observation just now.
Maybe it was a test by the Pei family.
When Lei Xiushan came over and said hello to everyone, he handed Wen Qingzhu a drawing: "Can you please help Miss Wen take a look at this thing?"
Wen Qingzhu curiously took it and took a look, his eyes suddenly condensed: "Where did you get this?"
"I found it at the place where Lu Lei was rescued." Lei Xiushan answered truthfully.
But Wen Qingzhu's heart was beating fast, and he tried to be calm as he said: "Who else knows about this?"
"Currently there are only teachers and Mr. Lu."
Wen Qingzhu breathed a sigh of relief: "That's good. You have hidden this thing. It is your luck to be discovered by you."
"What do you mean? This thing..." It was said that Lei Xiushan didn't understand what it meant, and the Lei Yan brothers were even more puzzled.
After looking around, Wen Qingzhu asked them to come over and said in a low voice: "This is a treasure map."
"What!" Lei Yan was furious and immediately screamed.
Mrs. Lei San, who was sitting in front, turned around when she heard the sound. Lei Shuo waved her hands quickly and said it was okay, and then Mrs. Lei San turned around.
Lei Shuo then gritted his teeth and slapped Lei Yan: "You are still my brother! You are more impatient than me! Listen to what Sister Qingzhu said."
