Chapter 23 Don’t understand

The emperor frowned and nodded, but still asked Concubine Zheng to leave.

Concubine Zheng turned around and dared to reveal the ferocious look on her face.

When Concubine Zheng left Yufuxuan, everything that happened here was spread throughout the harem.

For a moment, everyone was gloating that Concubine Zheng had lost face, and at the same time, they were wary of Guiren Lin's position in His Majesty's heart.

Apart from Concubine Zheng's exclusive favor for more than ten years, there is also the Seventh Highness Xiao Changluo. How could he be humiliated because of a small nobleman?

While everyone was gloating about the misfortune, they also had some sympathy, and when they thought of themselves, they all felt a little depressed.

Yun Zhao walked around the harem and saw concubines one after another in the imperial garden wiping tears secretly towards flowers or ponds. He was startled and even raised his head to look at the sky.

There is nothing wrong with the sun rising in the east.

"Princess?" One of them saw Yun Zhao with sharp eyes and walked over with a smile. Before Yun Zhao could speak, he pulled Yun Zhao into their small group.

Those sitting at the front are all concubines with children, while those on the sides and behind are concubines who are not favored and have no children.

If they want to survive in this harem, without the emperor's favor, they can only find a way out for themselves.

It was also the emperor who had been doting on Concubine Zheng all these years, and the queen couldn't control her, so these concubines stayed together.

"Princess, I wonder if the Queen has any free time?"

The speaker was Concubine Hui, who was the oldest in the harem and the eldest son, so she was always the leader among the concubines.

The harem in Yun State was clean, so Yun Zhao had never encountered such things before.

But even if she has never met him, she has heard of it.

So at this moment, I immediately understood what Concubine Hui meant.

The emperor doted on Guiren Lin, and even Concubine Zheng, who had been favored for many years, was in trouble. The concubines became even more anxious and angry.

They thought that they did not have Concubine Zheng's favor, and if they accidentally offended Guiren Lin, all their hard work over the years would be in vain.

Everyone thought of the Queen. Although the Queen was not favored by His Majesty, and although she did not go out often and spent the whole day bored in Yongning Palace, she still sat in the position of the Queen, and the child under her knees was also the Crown Prince.

So at this time, it is most appropriate for them for the queen to come forward.

If this angered His Majesty and involved the Crown Prince, then... they would have gained something.

Everyone was making calculations, and then everyone looked at Yun Zhao with smiles on their faces.

"Does the Crown Princess know about Guiren Lin, who has been favored recently?"

"This woman is really presumptuous. She is just occupying His Majesty these days. She doesn't even go to see the Queen once to greet her. This shows that she is disrespectful to the Queen."

Yun Zhao blinked, as if he didn't understand why they said this.

Concubine Hui thought she really didn't understand, so she hesitated for a moment and then spoke a little more straightforwardly.

"Your Majesty is in the prime of life. Now that Guiren Lin is childless, he has become so arrogant that he cannot see all of us. If he waits for her to become pregnant, wouldn't it be..." Concubine Hui looked around, lowered her voice and continued, "Isn't it true?

We must suppress all the princes."

Yun Zhao: "..."

She half-smiled, "How can I, a junior, talk about my father's matters?"

She is not a fool, looking for things to do for herself when she has nothing to do.

Who doesn't know that Lin Guiren is so favored that even Concubine Zheng, who is arrogant every day, has to avoid her sharp edges? Why is she rushing to offend her?

Besides, the concubine and the princess have nothing to do with each other.

As for the position of Crown Prince Xiao Changyin, she didn't even care.

Concubine Hui was a little surprised by Yun Zhao's reaction, but she didn't think much about it and continued to persuade, "If you let Lin Guiren continue to be so arrogant, sooner or later you will have trouble with the Queen."

Yun Zhao bent his wrist and rested it on his cheek. He couldn't help but glance at a few people and said, "Concubine Hui, what do you want me to do?"

Concubine Hui's smile was a little stiff. She thought that after she said those few words, Yun Zhao would obediently go to the queen to talk.

Who knew but asked again as if he didn't understand.

How did she answer?

It was difficult for her to say, but they were jealous of Guiren Lin's favor, and hoped that the Queen would come forward to prevent Her Majesty from spending time in Yufu Pavilion day and night, and that he should be exposed to both rain and dew.

"Prince Concubine, don't you understand?" Concubine Hui said with a straight face, thinking that Yun Zhao was pretending.

He also thought that the Crown Princess was young and alone in Beixiao, so when their faces turned cold, the Crown Princess would definitely please them.

Yun Zhao slowly stood up from the stone bench, looked at Concubine Hui and others, smiled slightly, "I don't understand."

"I have something else to do, so I won't disturb you ladies in admiring the flowers and scenery."

Yun Zhao nodded, turning around and leaving without caring about the ugly expressions on several people's faces.

Before going back, she turned around and went to Yongning Palace.

The queen was in great spirits and was practicing calligraphy on the table next to the window. She saw Yun Zhao coming and waved to her.

"Mother." Yun Zhao sat obediently on the wooden chair brought over by Aunt Feng, looking at the snacks on the table and wondering which one to eat.

"Zhao Zhao, where did you come from?" The queen picked out a piece of candy cake for her, and Yun Zhao took it and took a bite with satisfaction.

He waited until he finished eating before answering, "I came to see my mother early in the morning, but I met Concubine Hui and the others on the road, so I stayed there for a while."

"Because of Lin Guiren?"

Yun Zhao nodded.

"I heard before that Qin Mingyue came to see you in person?"

Probably because she hadn't heard this name for a long time, the queen was stunned when she said it.

"Did she say anything to you?"

Yun Zhao was hesitant, thinking about whether to tell the queen what Qin Mingyue said.

But the queen could guess it without her having to say anything, "What she told you was an engagement? An engagement between her and the prince?"

Yun Zhao's eyes were wide open, and his black and white eyes were so clean that there was no impurity at all. People couldn't help but feel happy just looking at him.

"Mother, how do you know?"

"She is two years older than you, but she is not married yet, and has not even made an engagement." The queen's expression gradually turned cold.

The Qin family is too greedy and wants everything, but ultimately gets nothing.

Yun Zhao didn't understand and asked hesitantly, "The Queen Mother said that Miss Qin is waiting to enter the East Palace? Does she want to be the Crown Princess?"

She doesn't care about the position of the Crown Princess. Anyway, the friendship between the two countries cannot be decided by a marriage.

If he fell in love with Qin Mingyue, he would be the one who ruined the marriage, and it would be him who was not conducive to the friendship between the two countries.

Yun Zhao began to think in his mind about how to make the most reasonable and profit-maximizing request after leaving the East Palace.

The queen didn't know that these few words made Yun Zhao think so much. She pressed her eyebrows and said in a cold voice, "The Qin family does."

To Yun Zhao, she couldn't explain what happened back then very clearly. She only said, "Qin Mingyue's father could not sit in the position of imperial censor before, but he used marriage to exchange for a future in his early years. Now he has a future.

You want this marriage again, you are really shameless."
