The news of the Holy Emperor's visit to Changxin Palace spread like wind throughout the six palaces.

The reactions of each palace were different, but they were all surprised, because the Holy Emperor had not set foot in Changxin Palace outside the second day of the Lunar New Year for several years. So they sent people out to quietly inquire what was going on.

The Changxin Palace did not hide it deliberately, so the news that the imperial concubine was trapped in nightmares and secretly crying soon reached the ears of the concubines.

One stone stirs up a thousand waves.

Many concubines sat up in shock, this news made them doubt their own ears.

The news that a noble concubine is vying for the favor of a saint is so unbelievable that you can imagine the picture of a noble concubine and the queen being as close as sisters.

Concubine Zhuang of Yonghe Palace didn't even care if she dropped the tea cup. She asked the palace official who replied several times in surprise. After confirming the accuracy of the message, she stayed open-mouthed for a long time.

After a long time, she came back to her senses, with a look of sadness on her face.

"She... can actually compete for favors." She unconsciously looked in the direction outside the palace door, and she couldn't explain how she felt. As a concubine who entered the palace in the same year as the imperial concubine, she had witnessed with her own eyes how the imperial concubine of Changxin Palace had been so arrogant over the years.

, she looks innocent and lives like a fairy who is not stained by the secular world. It seems that she will not flatter anyone, even facing the Holy One.

For six years, this attitude never changed.

It was as if the word "striving for favor" had always been separated from her, and even mentioning it in front of her would taint her noble ear.

But now, hearing that the person who started to compete for favor was like letting people see the person who had always been aloof and detached, fell from the altar, which made Concubine Zhuang feel all kinds of feelings in her heart.

In a side hall of Yonghe Palace, An Xuanshi was whispering in Lan Cairen's ear.

"real?"

"Of course, how dare I lie to Sister Lan? The news has spread all over the Sixth Palace."

Lan Cairen twisted her waist uncomfortably and changed her sitting position, frowning her charming face: "Your Majesty, will you consider me a threat?"

An Xuanshi looked at her with envy and said: "Sister Lan, please don't belittle yourself. Even my sister's heart is moved when she looks at her beauty like Liu Yaotao, let alone the Holy One. Besides, my sister's jade years are exactly a woman's.

In good times…”

An Xuanshi only said half of the last sentence, and Lan Cairen understood what was left unsaid in the second half.

Even though the imperial concubine is beautiful and beautiful, after all, she is past her twenties, and a woman's best time has passed.

For this reason, the imperial concubine could not sit still when she appeared in the harem, who had been favored for three consecutive days.

Lan Cairen unconsciously touched his smooth and delicate face, and the scratchy touch symbolized his prime age.

"Come here, bring my embroidery bag."

Lan Cairen straightened her waist and gave instructions to her maid.

I will make a sachet today and send it to the emperor tomorrow. She thought to herself.

Regarding the imperial concubine’s invitation to be pampered, the one who reacted the most was undoubtedly Kunning Palace.

The queen lost her temper and knocked down the red coral ornaments in the palace.

Everyone in the palace was immersed in the shock of the imperial concubine falling off the altar, but they probably forgot that today is the fifteenth day, which is the day when the Holy Emperor was supposed to visit Kunning Palace.

By doing this, the imperial concubine is blatantly provoking the authority of the Lord of her sixth house.

"My dear, don't worry, maybe this is a good thing."

Aunt Chen saw that the queen's eyes were red with anger, so she stepped forward and comforted her hurriedly.

"A good thing?" The queen looked at her and pointed to the outside of the palace: "On the day when I should be sleeping with you, Your Majesty is showing up at the Changxin Palace! Everyone in the palace is probably watching my joke at this moment, and you still say this is a good thing

?Are you making fun of me?"

Hearing the sharpness of the Queen's words, Aunt Chen's expression changed and she knelt down.

"My servant is loyal to your Majesty, but if you dare to be disrespectful to your Majesty, I will be punished by death!"

The Queen stiffened her face and gritted her teeth, staring at Aunt Chen who was kneeling down to plead guilty. However, her face suddenly changed, she turned her back to the person, and she suddenly shook her shoulders.

Aunt Chen was startled and quickly shooed away the people in the palace.

"Empress..."

The queen ignored her and choked to herself: "What do I mean by being a queen? I don't have the favor of the saint, but now the saint wants to show my face... After today, Kunning Palace has become a big joke.

How can I, the master of the harem, have the dignity to rule the Sixth Palace? In this palace, what I, the queen, do is

It is already very difficult to walk on thin ice. Not only is the Holy One inconsiderate, but now he wants to encourage the concubine's prestige. Which dynasty and generation has this truth? From the dynasty of the Holy Ancestor to the dynasty of the late emperor, in which dynasty would there be women from great families?

Entering the palace, you have no face for the queen? He has completely forgotten all the rules set by the Holy Patriarch."

Aunt Chen's back was stiff and her head was lowered, her eyes were looking at the ground, and her lips were tightly closed.

The queen had not yet realized that her words were inappropriate and she was suspected of slandering the king and criticizing the court. She was still immersed in the mood of self-pity and continued: "You all said that I should not compete with Concubine Na Wen, but I

...I couldn’t help it! She

When she entered the palace, she compared all the people in the Sixth Palace. Any concubine who came to her would be eclipsed by comparison. What's more, she was carried into the palace from the middle gate of the beam with an eight-carry sedan! You say,

Tell me, is the Holy One thinking of deposing the Queen?"

Aunt Chen's hands, feet and back were covered in cold sweat, and it felt like there was a walnut stuffed in her throat.

She didn't respond to the Queen's words. After all, some of her words were sensitive. The Queen could complain to her, but she, a mere palace official, couldn't even speak a single word about it.

The queen didn't seem to expect the other party's answer. After feeling sad for a while, she turned to complain: "Back then, Wen Yuanfu personally came to the house to appoint me as the queen, and he sincerely begged me to assist the emperor to avoid the emperor's worries. But later

Well, his own daughter fell into the palace instead, disrupting the centuries-old rules of Daliang! If this were the case for the Holy Ancestor..."

"Your Majesty!" Aunt Chen couldn't help interrupting anymore. She lowered her head and said, facing the Queen's worried gaze, "I have to go out and ask someone to inquire and see if the Holy Master is staying at Changxin Palace."

The queen was obviously very concerned about this matter, so she asked her to send someone to inquire quickly.

After Aunt Chen came out of the palace, the clothes on her back were wet and sticky.

Fortunately, she had sent all the palace people out of the palace in advance. Otherwise, what the Queen had just said had leaked out. How could it be repaid?

Thinking of the empress's plaintive words just now, she couldn't help but smile bitterly. Some of the words related to government affairs, and she couldn't break them into pieces and explain them to her in detail.

The reason why the Holy Emperor welcomed the daughter of the Wen family into the palace cannot be explained in just a few words. Moreover, the rights and wrongs involved can only be understood but not expressed.

But in the end, the Holy Spirit was wrong towards Concubine Wen.

Changxin Palace.

"Why is the Holy One here?"

The slight movement at the door made Wen Yin, who was taking a nap in front of the window, open her eyes. She turned her face slightly and saw a tall and arrogant figure standing at the door of her room.

She looked surprised and raised her hand to rub the corners of her eyes to force away the sleepiness on her face. At the same time, she also lifted the blanket on her knees, stood up, and was about to salute when she got off the ground.

"I rested early today, so I came over to see you."

The Holy Master Zhu Jing took off the black crane cloak on his body, handed it to the servant beside him, raised his legs and stepped forward, holding up her arms with both hands.

"Get up quickly."

Wen Yin stood up under his strength and said slightly angrily: "The Holy Master came and didn't let anyone inform him. It's really against the rules that I don't have to go far to welcome the Holy Master."

"I heard that you were not feeling well, so I didn't let anyone disturb you." Zhu Jing said warmly, looking at her face with his eyes. Seeing a faint look of fatigue and weakness on her beautiful face, he couldn't help but frown, "Here comes,

Go to Tai Hospital and ask someone to come over."

The people outside the Nuan Pavilion made a promise, and then the sound of gentle footsteps gradually faded away.

Wen Yin frowned slightly: "Which slave talks too much should be beaten."

Zhu Jing held her in his arms and sat down on the warm couch.

"It's the slaves in your palace who deserve to be beaten. It's not good for them to look after the master, so what's the use of keeping them."

The words that were neither light nor serious made Wen Yin think for a moment and she couldn't help but look at them.

Zhu Jing was actually born with a rugged frame, and his appearance was difficult to get along with. However, he had a gentle temperament and a gentle smile on his lips, which diluted the harshness of his appearance.

He met the eyes she cast and smiled helplessly: "Look, it hurts even if I really want to beat you."

When Wen Yin averted her eyes and turned to her fair face, she hooked her fingertips on her temples and tucked them behind her ears.

The hand holding her shoulder tightened momentarily, and then relaxed naturally.

After asking for instructions outside the door, Grandma Yu came over with a teapot, set up a mahogany tea table, and made tea for the two of them.

Zhu Jing raised his hand to stop Grandma Yu from making tea for Wen Yin.

"Bring your mother-in-law a bowl of body-building soup."

Grandma Yu responded and soon brought a bowl of ginseng soup over.

Zhu Jing personally handed the ginseng soup to her and said, "Don't mind the strong taste. It's good for you to use some from time to time."

Wen Yin was leaning on the soft pillow, with a helpless look on her face.

When she took it, she glanced at him with anger but not anger: "Then I can only obey the order."

Zhu Jing looked at her and suddenly smiled.

The two then drank together across the table, one drinking tea and the other drinking soup.

Just as the tea soup had bottomed out, the imperial doctor came in a hurry and was covered in hot sweat when he arrived.
