Xiaolian was originally worried that Chu Yunxi would be unaccustomed to the soil and environment after going to Dongyi Kingdom, but from the looks of it, it seems that the soil and water in Dongyi are more nourishing. The Crown Princess is actually more nourishing and prettier than before.
Chu Yunxi swallowed a sip of tea and almost choked to death.
I patted my chest hard and felt better.
Si Qi hurriedly took the cup from her hand, poured her another cup of tea, and said distressedly:
"It seems that you are thirsty on the way. My servant has prepared plenty of tea for you. Princess, please drink slowly."
Chu Yunxi's face turned slightly red and she drank tea to cover up her embarrassment.
This is all due to Jun Lingyun, who took her to taste all kinds of exotic delicacies every day. She was greedy for a while, but she didn't become mellow.
Embarrassed, Chu Yunxi immediately changed the topic.
"If you stay in the palace, will there be any unsighted people to provoke you?"
The two shook their heads at the same time. Xiaolian was always outspoken in front of Chu Yunxi.
"That person without eyes can't jump around now. He has no time to provoke us."
"Huh? How do you say it?"
Chu Yunxi was curious. Could it be that something big happened while she and Jun Lingyun left the palace?
"Princess, after you left the capital, the emperor appointed another concubine. Can you guess who it is?"
Xiaolian stopped here to show her off.
Chu Yunxi looked at Si Qi with some confusion, hoping that someone could explain it to her in one breath.
Si Qi really lived up to her expectations and answered her questions.
"The courtiers reported to the emperor and requested that he be crowned queen so as to avoid another state banquet. Only the concubines attended, which is not the way to go."
Chu Yunxi nodded, it was reasonable and reasonable. During this period, Yunxiao Kingdom did have frequent contacts with other countries. The concubines were of low status and were not qualified to participate.
Si Qi continued:
"The emperor said that no one could replace Queen Yin, so he decided to appoint a concubine. The courtiers held their own opinions and praised the concubines. They argued for several days."
Chu Yunxi understood that behind the profit drive, there must be supporters of several princes and the natal families of several concubines.
"Then Father, who did you choose as your concubine in the end?"
Si Qi responded truthfully.
"The emperor said that since they have all given birth to children for him, they cannot favor one over the other. Since they are going to be promoted, they will all be promoted and everyone will be happy."
Chu Yunxi smiled like a little fox, feeling that the emperor's decision was really good.
Aren't you going to fight to the death and have your head broken? Then raise them all to one level. It seems like they are getting an advantage. In fact, it seems that nothing has changed, just the title has changed.
"So, the four concubines are all noble concubines now?"
However, Chu Yunxi remembered that on the way back to the East Palace with Jun Lingyun, Concubine Rong she saw seemed to be dressed like an ordinary concubine. Why was this?
Xiaolian, who had been holding back for a long time, hurriedly answered.
"That's not true. The Crown Princess must have never imagined that the Third Prince would actually write a letter to the Emperor himself, saying that his mother-in-law was not a noble concubine, and begging the Emperor to allow her mother-in-law to remain in her original position."
This was really beyond Chu Yunxi's knowledge, so she continued to ask with curious eyes.
"Then Father, did you really agree to the third prince's request?"
Xiaolian and Si Qi both nodded with bright eyes. The master and servant looked at each other and couldn't help laughing.
So that's the case, no wonder Concubine Rong looked so haggard, but Chu Yunxi still found it a bit strange.
"There are still such things in the world. It seems that the third prince has really woken up, and he has woken up completely. I just pitied Concubine Rong, and she was tricked by her own son, and she was so angry that she went crazy?"
"Of course, Concubine Rou, Concubine Zhen and Concubine Hui are now Concubine Rou, Concubine Zhen and Concubine Hui. Only Concubine Rong is still Concubine Rong! Hahaha."
Xiao Lian laughed so much that she held her stomach. She deserved it. Concubine Rong had wanted to kill their uncle before, and she had always been against their young lady. She was full of bad intentions.
Now when Concubine Rong meets her sisters who were her equals in the past, she has to bow her noble head in salute.
How many villains were successful in the past are now in a state of despair.
Chu Yunxi also imagined that scene. Good and evil will be rewarded in the end, which was really a relief.
"Then Concubine Rong, have you apologized to Concubine Rou?"
Chu Yunxi has not forgotten that Concubine Rong framed Concubine Rou into the cold palace. Now that Concubine Rou is in a higher position, can Concubine Rong still not see the situation clearly?
Xiaolian shook her head.
"Now that Concubine Rong doesn't even dare to leave the palace, how can she go to apologize to Concubine Rou? There are even private rumors that the people serving in Concubine Rong's palace have been covered in bruises and bruises in the past few days. Is that okay?
Pitiful."
When Xiaolian said this, she put away her teasing and showed her unbearable expression. They were both serving people, but their situation was completely different. She felt worthless for those little palace maids.
Chu Yunxi's face didn't look very good either. Which child was not raised by his father and mother? Could it be that he was unlucky and was assigned to Concubine Rong's palace, so he deserved to be abused by her?
If you make a mistake, you just need to be punished. If you get beaten for no reason, how can you live your life?
It seems that it is time to discuss with Concubine Rou, Concubine Zhi, and Concubine Hui how to organize the harem. However, the three concubines are of the same level, and they usually have nothing to do. There will always be some inconvenience when doing things.
Just as Chu Yunxi was thinking about it, the guards outside the palace door came in to report.
"Crown Princess, Princess Wantao wants to see you."
"Please come in quickly."
Chu Yunxi stood up to greet her. Dongfang Muze was dead, and she just wanted to talk to Princess Wantao. Princess Wantao would be happy to hear the news.
Although she looks lively and outgoing, she is actually delicate and sensitive on the inside. If she doesn't get rid of this knot, I don't know how long she will be secretly sad.
Xiao Lian and Si Qi also hurried to prepare new tea. They could tell clearly who treated their master well.
"Sister-in-law, I didn't disturb your rest, right? I heard that you are returning to the palace, but I can't wait any longer. I just want to come and see the sister-in-law."
Chu Yunxi had a smile on her face.
"How could it be? Come and sit down. I was thinking of going to congratulate Concubine Rou."
"Eighth Princess, please have tea."
Xiao Lian and Si Qi served tea and then stepped aside so as not to disturb the chat among the masters.
Princess Wantao's mind was not on the tea, but on asking Chu Yunxi.
"The royal sister-in-law already knows?"
The Crown Princess is obviously more noble than the Imperial Concubine, and Princess Wantao knows that Chu Yunxi said that because she treats their mother and daughter well.
"It's not that I thought about how powerful Concubine Mother would be, it's just that in this way, Concubine Mother would never be bullied by Concubine Rong again."
Chu Yunxi nodded, Princess Wantao was right, only when one is strong can one protect oneself.
"I have some good news for you."
Princess Wantao couldn't think of any good news that could be related to her, so she smiled and said:
"Then Mrs. Huang, tell me quickly."
Chu Yunxi came closer and took Princess Wantao's hand.
"The Dongfang Muze who gave you bad ideas is dead. The current crown prince of Dongyi is the sixth prince Dongfang Huize. He is an upright man."
Princess Wantao opened her mouth slightly, and her eyes flickered very cutely.
"Dead? He was the crown prince of Dongyi Kingdom. How could he die like this? Could it be that the crown prince's brother killed him?"
Wantao blurted out, and immediately covered her mouth in shock, looking around to avoid getting Jun Lingyun into trouble.
Could it be that the crown prince and brother went to Dongyi Kingdom this time to vent her anger and assassinate Dongfang Muze?
Then, in that case, wouldn't the two countries go to war again?
