Chapter 494: Did I get caught?
Yanwan flattered Hongli with her gentle voice.
Hongli was already very happy because he saw Yongyan's excellence. After chatting with Yanwan, he felt that this child was most like himself and liked him even more.
The two chatted and laughed for a long time, and Hongli said with emotion: "In this palace, you are the one I trust the most."
Yan Wan held his big hand and looked at him affectionately: "Then I still hope that the emperor will not be so relieved."
Hongli was puzzled.
Yan Wan said shyly, "They say crying children get candy. I think if I always let the emperor rest assured, he will probably forget me."
Hongli was stunned for a moment, then he laughed: "How many novels have you read recently? He keeps saying one cliché after another, and every one of them is full of truth."
Yan Wan smiled shyly, leaned on his shoulder, and softly asked him, "Your Majesty, can you spare some time to pick out some good-looking booklets for me? I have read the ones you gave me several times, and it is not easy for me to go out and buy them. I am afraid that I will miss something and cause trouble for Your Majesty again."
Hongli was praised by her invisibly, and he was just happy to be bothered: "It's all a small matter."
Come to think of it, over the years, what she has actively asked for are always these little things to pass the time.
She always asked for too little.
Hongli gently put his arm around her shoulders and said, "You are already the Imperial Consort. You don't need to suppress your temper. Even if you really make a mistake, I will handle it for you."
Yan Wan was surprised and asked, "Really?"
Hongli's eyebrows twitched and he raised his eyebrows to look at her with a smile.
Yan Wan was embarrassed: "Today, I took Sister Rong to appreciate the flowers. Yaopin saw us and came up to provoke her. Sister Rong said a few words to her, and she started to pretend to faint, which made Sister Rong unhappy again."
She was a little worried: "Zhang Yuanzheng has been taking care of Sister Rong for so many years. She has finally recovered a little recently, but was repeatedly stimulated by Concubine Yao. I don't know when she will be able to recover and have a child herself."
Hongli's eyes turned cold: "Yaopin, she is always so ignorant of the immensity of heaven and earth."
Yan Wan sighed, "I am just unhappy because I see that you love Sister Rong too much. You see, she has been out of the cold palace for so long, and she has never targeted anyone except me and Sister Rong."
Hongli sneered: "I think she just ate too much."
He called Jinzhong in and gave the order: "Go to the Yanxi Palace and announce the decree. Concubine Yao offended the Imperial Noble Consort and the Noble Consort Rong. From now on, she will be demoted to a noble lady... Promise her a share of the profits. When she really realizes her mistake, her salary will be raised back up!"
Jinzhong smiled and agreed respectfully. He backed out of the door and looked at Jinshou and Jinbao. He chose Jinbao, who was more irritating. "Go and tell this decree to Concubine Yao. Explain to her how the emperor dotes on Concubine Rong and ask her not to make the emperor angry again."
Jinbao immediately grasped the essence of this command: "Don't worry."
As soon as he left, Jinzhong called Jinshou again: "We asked him to go because we know he has a sharp tongue, but you also have your own advantages. Keep a close eye on the people below. Although Concubine Yao has fallen from power now, what if she rises one day? If that happens, we will not have a good life anymore."
He said earnestly: "In this regard, I still trust your methods more."
Jin Shou's eyes were firm: "Don't worry!"
After Jinzhong finished what he was supposed to do, he went to the door and listened to what was said inside. He thought that the emperor would probably go to see Concubine Rong soon, and wondered if he could stay and send Ling Zhuer off this time.
In the past, whenever the emperor left Ling Zhuer behind, he would feel guilty and would specially ask himself, the chief steward, to save Ling Zhuer's face.
But now the emperor is extremely suspicious and doesn't want him, the top official in front of the emperor, to come into contact with the high-ranking concubines who hold power in the harem.
Counting the days, he hadn't been able to talk to Ling Zhuer alone for another month and ten days.
Just as I was thinking about it, the person I had been thinking about day and night came to me.
Jinzhong bowed quickly: "Royal Concubine."
Yan Wan said gently, "The Emperor wants to see Concubine Rong. Please help me take good care of Concubine Rong. If she is not feeling well, please call the imperial physician. Don't delay."
She felt the same way: "Sometimes this mental illness is more terrible than physical illness."
Jinzhong quickly responded, "Yes, I will ask the head maid of Baoyue Tower carefully."
Hongli's voice came from the room: "Jinzhong, go to my private storehouse and pick out some jewelry for the Imperial Concubine. Remember to arrange lunch at Yongshou Palace tomorrow. I want to dine with the Imperial Concubine."
Jinzhong glanced at Yanwan hastily, and seeing her leave with a faint smile, he hurried in and responded, "Hey!"
When Hongli arrived at Baoyue Tower, he did not ask others to disturb him and went into Concubine Rong's room.
In the room, Concubine Rong was staring out the window and didn't even notice him coming in.
She was a cold beauty to begin with, and even when she was in a daze she looked cold and lonely, making people want her to smile even more, as if her smile would break at any moment.
Concubine Rong looked at the scenery outside the window and waited until her eyes were dry. But Hongli did not continue to move, and she felt a little uneasy.
Didn't she learn the moves that the Imperial Concubine taught her well?
Was she particularly pretentious and the emperor saw through it?
After all, the emperor is such an important person. He went upstairs and entered the house, so how could there be no footsteps?
She couldn't help blinking her dry eyes and rubbed them with her hands.
Hongli strode over and gently held her wrist. With his other hand, he held up her face and looked at her. Seeing that her eyes were red and bloodshot, he felt both pity and anger.
They were all made by Ruyi!
Xiangjian is so reluctant to cause trouble, yet Ruyi still has to target her!
Such a jealous and vicious woman actually became his queen in the previous life. It's really... a great shame!
He coaxed Concubine Rong in a gentle voice and saw that she was looking at him in a daze. She was no longer as cold as before and was even willing to give him a few smiles. However, her occasional words inevitably revealed her self-loathing and fear for breaking her engagement and marrying the emperor. She did not seem to be in a good state.
He smiled gently and coaxed her for a while, and then called Zhang Yun over at Jinzhong's suggestion.
After Zhang Yun finished the consultation, he said that it was nothing serious and that she just needed to relax. However, he secretly told Jin Zhong, "Rong Guifei has been asking about pregnancy medicine recently. I'm afraid she has been taking care of her body for too long and is a little anxious. It's just that her mentality has been getting out of control recently, and this has hit her biggest concern.
She is weak to begin with, and if she still wants to give birth to a child for the emperor, she may end up with two lives, but Concubine Rong really wants to give birth to a child for the emperor. Please ask the chief steward to ask the emperor, or else, follow Concubine Rong's wishes and give it a try? "
