He didn't mean anything special, he just felt that Yun Zhao looked like a cat whose tail had been stepped on.

Every hair on the body exploded and was clearly visible.

Somewhat funny and very cute.

Although he didn't mean anything, Yun Zhao looked at him with a bit of over-interpretation.

She felt that Xiao Changyin must be laughing at her in his heart.

Since the soup tastes good, why didn’t she finish it?

She thought so, so she mustered up the courage to finish the soup.

After seeing the surprise in the man's eyes, Yun Zhao felt a little complacent.

She took the initiative to fill a bowl for herself, took a big gulp while holding her breath, and said to Xiao Changyin, "Your Highness, drink too."

Yun Zhao used the method of killing eight hundred enemies and losing one thousand to himself, and shared the bowl of soup with Xiao Changyin.

Probably, she drank more than Xiao Changyin.

So after a while, Yun Zhao stuffed a huge pillow into his arms and sat on the soft couch in a daze, doubting life.

Halfway through her daze, she heard the sound of the bell again. She couldn't help but feel excited and looked in the direction of the sound.

She saw a man leaning on the window sill facing her, with a rope tied around his index finger, and under the complicated knot was a small and exquisite bell.

She thought of her brother's poodle again, and her eyes that were originally blank became energetic again.

Feeling her gaze, the man pursed his lips slightly and narrowed his upturned phoenix eyes in an extremely charming manner.

"Why, the Crown Princess is stunned?"

"How come you..." Yun Zhao couldn't believe it. After knowing him for such a long time, how could this man become more and more shameless? She sneered, "I didn't look at you."

The smile on the man's lips deepened after hearing this, "Gu didn't say that the Crown Princess was looking at Gu. Are you trying to cover it up by being so eager to deny it?"

"I'm not... you..." Yun Zhao was so angry that she wanted to stamp her feet, but in order to prevent the man from seeing her joke, she finally held back.

She walked to the door expressionlessly, snorted in the direction of the man, and ran out.

The window was open, and the man looked at the fast running figure through the window, his well-jointed fingers slightly bent, and his fingertips tapped lightly on the window sill.

The extremely rhythmic sound shows the good mood of the owner.

Yun Zhao went out and walked around in the yard. After thinking about it, he decided to go out to the East Palace and wander around.

It's best to hang out outside until dark.

Along the way, she kept thinking about what was happening in the backyard of the East Palace with a grimace. Halfway through, she asked Qiuyue, "Auntie, are there fewer people in your highness's backyard?"

Not only was there a little missing, there was no one else at all.

The scene where Yun Zhao originally guessed that a few women would play together did not happen, it was just that some of the palace servants were restless.

However, the restless palace servants are always outside and cannot serve inside.

Qiuyue thought she was worried, so she comforted her, "Don't worry, Crown Princess, there will be no other women in Your Highness's backyard for the time being."

"Why?" Yun Zhao didn't understand.

Although her father, the emperor, and her queen were a bit special, she was the only one she had ever seen.

As for her brother, he travels abroad all year round to study, and she rarely sees him.

And she didn't think that this man Xiao Changyin would have any feelings for her. Even if he did, it would be disgusting.

Since it is disgust, it cannot be because she refuses to take a concubine.

Although Yun Zhao did not object to Xiao Changyin taking a concubine, he did have his own plans.

She hoped to have a few gentle-tempered ones, who would preferably not get into fights.

If a fight breaks out, she won't know who to help, and she can't just watch from the sidelines.

That's not right...she might already be in the cold palace at that time.

Then if there was a fight between concubines, she would not need to worry about which one to help while she was in the cold palace.

Yun Zhao was thinking very far, but Qiu Yue brought her back again with one sentence, "Maybe it's not just temporary."

Yun Zhao groaned, not quite understanding Qiu Yue's confused words, and just as he was about to continue asking, his nose suddenly smelled many kinds of incense.

The incense in the palace smells good, but I can't help but have more than ten kinds of smells mixed together.

Yun Zhao even found the smell a bit unpleasant.

She couldn't help but look up. The moment she looked over, she was stunned by the scene in front of her.

Not far ahead are several clusters of flowers, and around these clusters of flowers, I counted more than twenty concubines standing there.

They were all new faces she had never seen before.

Yun Zhao was at a loss and started counting with her fingers. She had seen all the concubines before, so these new faces could only have appeared in the past few days.

In a few days, more than twenty concubines were granted the title of concubine?

Although they were the emperor's concubines, these concubines did not have a high status. In addition, they all knew that the emperor valued the princess, so they looked at each other for a few times and came to greet her.

Yun Zhao... was a little confused, she hadn't reacted yet.

Why did there suddenly appear to be so many concubines in the harem? I have never heard of a general election.

She asked everyone to get up absentmindedly, smiled stiffly and said she was going to the other side to enjoy the flowers, so she walked over in a few quick steps.

None of the concubines chased after her. After all, they were guarding here one after another, not to see the Crown Princess.

Yun Zhao asked Su Xi, "What happened in the past two days?"

She knew that Su Xi wandered around when she had nothing to do, and had good relations with many of the eldest ladies in the palace.

Su Xi is always the first to know about any changes in the harem.

Su Xi coughed and came over mysteriously, "His Majesty sealed them all."

Yun Zhao: "..."

This concubine must have been sealed by him. It was for no reason and there was no way she could have fallen from the sky.

Su Xi seemed to know that her answer was not appropriate, so he added, "Your Majesty has rarely accepted concubines in recent years. It is said that your Majesty is doing it to gain Concubine Zheng's favor."

"Who would have known that His Majesty suddenly went to the place where Xiu Nu lives in the past two days, and almost all of them were sealed up without leaving any one behind."

Yun Zhao: "..."

"How is Concubine Zheng?"

Su Xi smiled happily and said, "Concubine Zheng threw away everything she had on hand. The Ministry of Internal Affairs sent her the same thing several times, so in the end I had no choice but to tell His Majesty."

"Then what?"

"His Majesty asked people to change all the things into copper ones and send them over."

Yun Zhao's expression became more complicated. When she first came to Beixiao, she didn't know many things.

And this short period of time includes the fact that Concubine Zheng's favor has not changed for more than ten years.

"Go to your mother's house."

Although the queen showed no concern for the emperor several times, Yun Zhao was still a little worried and went to Yongning Palace.

The entrance to Yongning Palace is closed, but there are far fewer guards at the door than before.

After the door opened, Yun Zhao was startled by the smell of medicine coming from inside, and quickly went in to take a look.

This sight made me feel even more strange. Usually there were many palace people inside and outside Yongning Palace, but now there were only a few people left.
