Chapter 236 Asking for trouble
"I just came from the Queen's place, sister, are you going back to the palace? Let's go together!" Wei Ning'er saw that something was wrong with Concubine Yu now, and wanted to accompany her. [ ]
"Okay!" Concubine Yu nodded gently and followed Wei Ning'er.
Three days later, Concubine Yu followed Concubine Xian's instructions and stole the little garment and sent it to Yikun Palace. Concubine Xian seemed very satisfied and asked Mu Yun to put it away.
"Your Majesty, if you don't have any other instructions, I'm leaving!" Concubine Yu said in a low voice, her face turning pale.
"Yes!" Concubine Xian looked at her with a half-smile and asked her to back off.
"Mother, it's snowing outside!" Mu Yun looked at the light snow falling outside the window and couldn't help laughing.
"Well, the two Japanese palace's feet are almost healed!" Concubine Xian stood up and took two steps slowly, with a relieved smile on her face.
"Your Majesty, the Emperor is here!" Zi Yan ran into the palace and said respectfully.
When Concubine Xian heard this, she felt happy, and with Mu Yun's support, she slowly walked out.
Ever since she set a trap in Mulan Paddock to save the emperor last year, the emperor has treated her many times better than before. Over the past year, she has been favoring her continuously. Now she has injured her foot and has difficulty moving. The emperor also comes to see her every now and then.
, and it is precisely because of this that the emperor, who was originally dispensable in her heart, gradually became extremely important.
At this time, she gradually understood that the more favored a concubine was, the more she wanted to be favored by the emperor. Seeing others being favored made her feel uncomfortable.
"Your Majesty, may you be blessed!" Concubine Xian said respectfully when she arrived at the door of her bedroom.
"My beloved concubine, why are you out here? You need to rest for a while!" The emperor's expression changed, and he immediately helped her up.
"Your Majesty, my concubine is doing much better. She has been walking around Yikun Palace a lot these past two days!" Concubine Xian said with a smile.
"This makes me feel relieved. Last year at Mulan Paddock, you were seriously injured trying to save me, and this year you accidentally fell off your horse. From now on, I won't go if I can." The emperor held her hand, his eyes full of tenderness.
color.
"Thank you, Your Majesty!" Concubine Xian smiled, then looked outside, her eyes full of longing: "Your Majesty, it's snowing!"
"Want to go for a walk?" The emperor didn't see the desire in her eyes.
"Well, I have never left Yikun Palace these days!" Concubine Xian said softly.
"That's fine, I'll go out with you for a walk. The snow outside is very light, so it won't be a problem!" After that, the emperor held her hand tightly and helped her walk slowly outside.
Feeling the heat coming from the palm of her hand, Concubine Xian felt warm in her heart, and even the biting cold wind had a hint of warmth.
The emperor asked people to carry them to the imperial garden. After walking with Concubine Xian for a long time, the snow gradually became heavier.
"My beloved concubine, go to Wanchun Pavilion to avoid the snow!" The emperor looked at her and said with a smile.
"Yes, Your Majesty!" Concubine Xian nodded gently.
Today is the first snow since the beginning of winter, and the snow is light. Apart from the emperor and Concubine Xian, there are quite a few people who come out to enjoy the snow.
Wei Ning'er and Concubine Jia were talking and laughing along the way, and soon they arrived at the Imperial Garden. Lu Yunxi was afraid of the cold and did not come out with them.
"Sister, the snow is getting heavy, let's go to Wanchunting to take shelter!" Concubine Jia gently flicked the snowflakes off her body and said with a smile.
"Yeah!" Wei Ning'er shuddered and nodded.
The emperor and Concubine Xian were sitting in the pavilion and saw Wei Ning'er and Concubine Jia from a distance.
Today, Wei Ning'er is wearing a lake-green flag suit with blooming pear blossoms embroidered on it. In addition, the collar and cuffs are inlaid with white fox fur. She looks extremely elegant. Among the snowflakes flying in the sky, that touch of green The beauty is so amazing.
As they gradually approached, Wei Ning'er and Concubine Jia also discovered the emperor and Concubine Xian in the pavilion. At this time, they could not sneak away, so they had no choice but to enter the pavilion.
"Your Majesty, may you be blessed with good fortune, may your concubine Xian be blessed!" they both said in unison.
"No courtesy!" The emperor's eyes were always on Wei Ning'er, slightly startled.
"My concubine is getting more and more beautiful. I like her very much when I see her. Don't you think so, Your Majesty?" Concubine Xian said with a smile.
"Well, there are few people in the palace who can match your concubine's grace!" The emperor smiled, with a soft light in his eyes.
"Your Majesty makes fun of my concubine again!" Wei Ning'er's pretty face turned red.
"Come here!" the emperor smiled.
Wei Ning'er didn't know what the emperor was calling her for, so she had to take a few steps forward and reach the emperor.
"Is it cold?" The emperor held her cold hand and asked softly.
When Wei Ning'er saw Concubine Xian and Concubine Jia looking at her, she couldn't help feeling a little embarrassed. She quickly took her hand out of the emperor's palm and said with a smile: "I just walked in the wind and snow for a long time, and I won't be cold after a while!"
The emperor stretched out his hand to flick the snowflakes off her hair, gently stroked her face, and said softly: "You are weak, and you must be more careful when it snows. I will send you back to the palace!"
The emperor almost couldn't help saying this, but the next moment he remembered that he was accompanying Concubine Xian today.
Wei Ning'er paused for a moment and said with a smile: "Your Majesty, Concubine Xian has trouble with her legs and feet. Your Majesty should send her back to the palace."
When the emperor heard this, he had no choice but to follow her and said with a smile: "Then you should be careful. I will see you again in the evening!"
"Yes, Your Majesty!" Wei Ning'er nodded gently.
"My beloved concubine, it's getting late, I'll take you back to the palace!" The emperor stood up, looked at Concubine Xian and said with a smile.
Concubine Xian felt slightly sad. The emperor was so anxious to send her back, so he must have gone to the concubine's place. He did not forget to seduce the emperor in front of her and Concubine Jia. It was really hard to resist.
Thinking of this, she became arrogant and said respectfully: "Your Majesty, please go back to the palace by yourself. Your Majesty, just accompany your concubine."
Before the emperor could speak, Wei Ning'er smiled and said, "Your Majesty, Concubine Xian is injured, so you should be more careful!" After speaking, Wei Ning'er gently pushed the emperor and motioned for him to send Concubine Xian back.
"Farewell, Your Majesty, Concubine Xian!" Concubine Jia, who was watching the show, immediately knelt down and said.
"Congratulations to Your Majesty, Concubine Xian!" Wei Ning'er also took advantage of the situation to be blessed.
The emperor felt helpless, so he supported Concubine Xian and walked outside the Wanchun Pavilion.
Concubine Xian was so angry that she had no way to vent her anger. When she was going down the stone steps, she staggered and almost fell down. Fortunately, the emperor's quick hands and eyes quickly caught her.
Concubine Xian leaned into the emperor's arms and hugged him tightly.
"Did you twist your foot?" the emperor asked in a low voice.
"Your Majesty, my concubine's foot has not recovered yet. I just twisted it and it hurts!" Concubine Xian said softly with a faint blush on her face.
"I will send you back to the palace and ask the imperial doctor to take a look!" The emperor's eyes were full of solemnity.
"Thank you, Your Majesty!" Concubine Xian was slightly disappointed. She thought the Emperor would be very anxious, but the Emperor seemed...not to care about her as much as she thought.
Concubine Jia couldn't help but rolled her eyes, leaned into Wei Ning'er's ear and whispered: "Look at her, she must have done it on purpose!"
When Wei Ning'er heard this, she pursed her lips and smiled, then touched Concubine Jia gently: "Sister, let's go too!"
When the two of them were going down the stone steps, Concubine Jia kept holding Wei Ning'er until the last stone step was left. Concubine Jia suddenly came close to Wei Ning'er's ear and whispered: "Ning'er, don't blame me, my sister is doing this for your own good!
"
"What?" Wei Ning'er turned her head and was about to ask, but she was pushed hard by Concubine Jia, and she fell forward and fell to the ground.
"Ah..." A scream made the emperor and Concubine Xian, who had walked out a few feet away, turn around sharply.
Wei Ning'er was wearing very thick clothes today and the steps were very low. She was not injured when she fell down. It was just a slight scratch on her palm that caused some pain. However, she was frightened by Concubine Jia's scream.
"How are you doing, my dear sister?" Concubine Jia was shocked, squatted down and shouted.
The emperor let go of Concubine Xian's hand and strode over. The joy on Concubine Xian's face flashed away, and then she pretended to be sad and said: "Sister, why don't you say anything? Did you fall and hurt somewhere?"
"Ning'er!" The emperor knelt down and helped Wei Ning'er up.
"Have you been injured anywhere?" The emperor's eyes were filled with anxiety and distress.
"Your Majesty, I see that my concubine's sister has injured her knee!" Concubine Jia said from the side.
"I will send you back to the imperial doctor for a look!" the emperor said, picking her up and walking forward.
Concubine Xian watched helplessly as the emperor walked past her with Wei Ning'er in his arms, without even looking at her. Her heart suddenly fell to the bottom. Endless humiliation and unwillingness surged in, almost overwhelming her reason.
After walking a short distance, Wei Ning'er recovered from the shock, grabbed the emperor's lapel, and said urgently: "Your Majesty, please let me down quickly. I am not injured, but my hand hurts a little!"
Wei Ning'er was afraid that the emperor would not be able to do it, so she quickly raised her hand to let the emperor see the scratches on her palms.
The emperor did not stop and walked straight forward.
"Your Majesty, my concubine is really fine!" Wei Ning'er became anxious and said again.
"Silly girl, even if you are fine, we have gone so far. Do you think we have to go back and tell Concubine Xian that it was just a misunderstanding and ask me to send her back again? If I remember correctly, she is not that generous.
Man! Do you want her to hate you?" the emperor said helplessly.
Wei Ning'er paused for a moment, then looked at the emperor, feeling warm in her heart, and whispered in the emperor's ear: "Then... please let me down, I can go on my own!"
The emperor turned a deaf ear and walked forward on his own.
"Ahem..." Concubine Jia couldn't help coughing twice when she saw Concubine Xian staring blankly at the emperor and Wei Ning'er going away.
Concubine Xian finally came to her senses and said to Mu Yun: "Go back to the palace!"
However, Concubine Jia took a step forward and said with a smile: "Empress, I will take you back to the palace!"
Concubine Xian's face darkened: "No need!"
"Your Majesty is really treating one favorably and favoring others. Your Majesty, you are so seriously injured. Your Majesty really only cares about your concubine. It's really heartbreaking." Concubine Jia said with a half-smile.
