Chapter 187 Conflict
"This... [ ]" Wu Shulai saw that she was fine and there was nothing unusual about her. She suddenly felt a little confused. Why did the young master say that she was sick when she was not sick? But she did not dare to say anything more and immediately withdrew.
.
"Ning'er, what do you mean?" Lu Yunxi looked at her in surprise.
"Sister, I'm so worried that I can't care less, so I won't say anything anymore. Let's go in and continue to teach me how to draw the pattern I did yesterday." Wei Ning'er forced a smile and pulled Lu Yunxi into the hall.
go.
"But your Majesty, is it appropriate to send him away like this?" Lu Yunxi asked helplessly.
This girl, now even the emperor disdains her, is still thinking about embroidery patterns, and she doesn't know what to say.
"What's wrong? There are so many concubines and maids in the palace. Could it be that the emperor has nowhere to go yet? Sister is worrying too much!" Wei Ning'er said disapprovingly.
Lu Yunxi didn't know what to say, so he had to let her go.
The emperor heard that Wu Shu said that Wei Ning'er was unwell, and felt a little uneasy. After handling the political affairs, he went to Yanxi Palace.
The servants in the Yanxi Palace thought that the emperor would not come and were not prepared. Therefore, they were caught off guard. Before they had time to communicate, the emperor had already entered Wei Ning'er's bedroom.
Wei Ning'er was holding a pen and concentrating on the patterns, and did not notice that the emperor had arrived.
"Ning'er, why do you embroider such complicated patterns?" Lu Yunxi asked with a smile.
When Wei Ning'er heard the words, the corner of her mouth slightly raised, she raised her head, and was about to reply when she saw the emperor standing behind Lu Yunxi. After being surprised, she calmed down, put down the brush in her hand, and said with a slight blessing: "Your Majesty, Wan Fu Jin'an
!”
"May your Majesty be blessed!" Lu Yunxi was startled, then turned around and saluted.
The emperor looked at Wei Ning'er and knew that she was not sick. His face changed slightly, and he calmed down before saying, "I heard that you are unwell. Have you ever asked the imperial doctor?"
"My concubine just has a minor problem, there is no need to call in the imperial doctor!" Wei Ning'er said with a distant tone.
"Your Majesty, I have resigned!" Lu Yunxi saw that the momentum was not right and immediately withdrew.
The emperor walked up to Wei Ning'er, took her hand, and said softly: "Ning'er, I only just found out that Zhang Sui'er is your maid!"
Wei Ning'er smiled and said: "Your Majesty, it doesn't matter whose maid you are, as long as the Emperor likes her, that's all. After all, it's my concubine who taught her well, otherwise she wouldn't have fallen in love with the Emperor!"
However, the emperor felt that her words were thorny and frowned slightly. After a moment, he relaxed and did not care about her. He smiled and said: "It's getting late, it's time to have dinner."
"Your Majesty, please go eat somewhere else. I have already eaten it!" Wei Ning'er took her hand out of the Emperor's palm without leaving any trace and said with a smile.
"Then come and have dinner with me!" The emperor was not angry.
Wei Ning'er raised her head and looked at the emperor, her eyes full of surprise. What did he mean by this? Was he feeling guilty? Otherwise, with his arrogance, he would have no need to please her so much.
But when she thought of the emperor casually favoring the maids in the palace, Wei Ning'er felt a little unhappy. Such an emperor seemed completely different from what she had known before, and she found it difficult to accept it for a while.
Thinking of Zhang Sui'er's arrogant face, Wei Ning'er felt panicked in her heart, and her eyes when looking at the emperor changed: "Your Majesty, please move elsewhere. I am not in a position to attend you today!"
When the emperor heard this, his face changed slightly and he said in a deep voice: "Ning'er, don't be willful!"
"I am not willful!" Wei Ning'er shook her head and said.
"Maybe it's because I doted on you too much in the past, that's why you don't know the importance of it. I've already said it, and I just found out that she is your maid, but you are unwilling to let me go. Is it possible that in the future, whoever I favor will ask for your approval?
Is that okay?" The emperor suddenly darkened his face.
Wei Ning'er raised her head and looked at the emperor, her eyes full of disbelief. He actually said this. Did she think she was jealous? It's a pity that he has not yet had such weight in her heart.
"Who the emperor favors is the emperor's business. It has nothing to do with me. As a concubine in the harem, no matter how bad I am, I still know not to be jealous. The emperor has misunderstood me!" Wei Ning'er said seriously.
"You——." The emperor did not expect that she would say this. He seemed to be even more angry than before. He grabbed her and said in a deep voice after a while: "Learn from the empress's bearing in the future!"
When Wei Ning'er heard this, she felt a chill all over her body: "I'm afraid I'm going to disappoint the emperor. I can't be as generous as the empress. The maid next to me is favored by the emperor, and I have to ask for her status. I
I don’t deserve to be treated like this by the Queen!”
When the emperor heard this, he felt a little annoyed. He didn't mean it that way, and he never wanted to belittle her at all.
"I respectfully send you to the Emperor!" Wei Ning'er took advantage of the situation and blessed herself.
The emperor stretched out his hand to help her up, but paused in mid-air, retracted his hand feebly, and walked out. He knew Wei Ning'er's temperament. Sometimes she would be so stubborn that she would not care about anything.
Therefore, he didn't blame her for the collision, he just asked her to calm down and think clearly.
After leaving the Yanxi Palace, the emperor felt panicked and had no intention of going anywhere else, so he immediately ordered Wu Shu to return to the Yangxin Palace.
"Little Master!" After the emperor left for a moment, Bingruo dared to enter the bedroom. She was shocked to see her master sitting on the ground blankly.
"It turns out that it's me who is ignorant." Wei Ning'er had a mocking look on her face, but she was laughing at herself.
"My young master, please don't get angry with the emperor!" Bing Ruo said urgently.
Wei Ning'er stood up with her support and said with a smile: "Zhiqi, how can I have the courage? I'm hungry, please pass on the meal, Bingruo!"
"Yes!" Bingruo saw that his master was so angry that the emperor still had the heart to have a meal. He didn't know whether to admire him or feel helpless, but he didn't dare to say anything, so he immediately went down to give orders.
Early the next morning, Wei Ning'er got up early and went to the Queen's Changchun Palace to pay her respects. When she arrived at the gate of Changchun Palace, she met Yi Bin.
"Hey, the two sisters arrived early." Yibin walked over with a smile.
"Sister Yibin!" Wei Ning'er nodded slightly, while Lu Yunxi beside her greeted Yibin according to the rules.
"My sister is really talented. She stands out from the palace ladies. Even the servants around her are outstanding. She became a concubine not long after entering the palace. It's really amazing." Yibin said this and looked at Bing beside Wei Ning'er.
Ruo smiled and said: "I just discovered that this girl is also very pretty. My concubine, you have to be careful. It is very common for people to rebel in the palace!"
"Little Master!" Bingruo was shocked when he heard this and immediately knelt down.
"Get up, if you can serve the emperor, it will be your blessing!" Wei Ning'er said with a smile.
But Bingruo said urgently: "I definitely don't have such thoughts, little master."
Wei Ning'er helped her up and said with a smile: "You are the most capable person around me, so what if you have such thoughts, but..." When Wei Ning'er said this, she changed the subject, then looked at Yi Bi and said with a smile: "
Qin Xin is really outstanding next to my sister, but what I should be worried about is my sister, my Bingruo, is still a little stupid after all!"
Hearing this, Yibin couldn't help but turn around and look at Qin Xin.
Wei Ning'er and Lu Yunxi looked at each other, with smiles on their faces, and then quickly entered the Changchun Palace.
"Little Master..." Qin Xin looked at Yi Bi, sweat broke out on her face, and she couldn't help but tremble all over.
"If your concubine hadn't mentioned it, I would have never noticed that you also have a foxy look!" Yi concubine had a cruel look on her face, which frightened the other two maids to immediately lower their heads.
"My lord, Qin Xin has been with my lord for many years. I have never served him carelessly, and I dare not have second thoughts. My lord, you must not be misled by your concubine!" Yuan Qing, the lady in charge, said in a low voice.
Yibin didn't think so. She glanced at Yuanqing coldly before entering the Changchun Palace.
The Queen didn't seem to be feeling very well today. After a while, she said she was tired and asked everyone to disperse.
Wei Ning'er did not leave, however. After everyone left, she went to the queen's bedroom.
"Ning'er is here!" The queen said weakly, sitting on the soft couch.
"Mother, what's wrong?" Wei Ning'er asked worriedly.
"I have some weakness in my hands and feet. The imperial doctor said there is nothing abnormal. I was also like this when I was pregnant with Lili and Yonglian!" The queen was slightly startled after saying this, perhaps thinking of Yonglian.
"Your Majesty, you need to be raised well!" Wei Ning'er comforted her after she came to her senses.
"Well, I will pay special attention to it, but Ruoyan really worries me. Yesterday, I announced the entry of Aunt Hui into the palace. I heard from Aunt Hui that she had fetal gas a few days ago, and the child in her belly almost died.
Not saved!" The queen looked worried.
"How could this happen?" Wei Ning'er was shocked.
"I heard that she had a quarrel with Fu Hengda, and her stubborn temper got worse. She even wanted to go back to her parents' house, but she fell!" the queen said helplessly.
Seeing Wei Ning'er holding the brocade handkerchief tightly and seeming very worried, the Queen's heart sank, and then she whispered: "You are not allowed to sneak out of the palace, or there will be big trouble!"
"What if I, my concubine, ask for the emperor's permission?" Wei Ning'er said suddenly.
"I heard that someone kicked the emperor out of the Yanxi Palace last night. Why, now I am embarrassed to beg the emperor?" The queen looked at her with a half-smile but said in a low voice.
"I..." Wei Ning'er hesitated slightly and froze there.
"You silly girl, you have to remember that in the palace, you can't be angry with anyone, and you can't be angry with the emperor, even if you are dissatisfied in your heart, you can't do it!" the queen said meaningfully.
"Yes!" Wei Ning'er nodded slightly, but she didn't agree with what the queen said. Could it be that because he was the emperor, she had to compromise? In a situation like last night, she would not force herself to smile in front of the emperor. She couldn't do it.
.
But now she was worried about Ruoyan and wanted to leave the palace. Without the emperor's permission, even the queen would not let her leave the palace. Wei Ning'er couldn't help but feel a little anxious.

In the Yongshou Palace, Concubine Jia was discussing the lessons left by the Grand Tutor today with her fourth elder brother Yongxuan. Wanqing came into the palace and said respectfully: "Your Majesty, Zhang Chang is here to see me!"
