Chapter 417: Jealousy
After Jingjue and Yingfei left quickly, Hongli looked at Empress Fucha and Yanwan and said softly, "It's not easy for Jingjue, and I feel sorry for him. Now that the tribes are willing to show goodwill, you must take good care of Yingfei and Yupin in the harem."
Empress Fucha and Yan Wan saluted together: "Your Majesty, rest assured!!"
Hongli smiled and said, "I have nothing to worry about leaving the harem to you two."
He held Empress Fucha's hand and had a lot to say to praise his daughter.
Yan Wan smiled and said, "I want to go back and wash up first, so I'll take my leave now."
Hongli nodded and said with a smile: "Get up early tomorrow, and I will test you to see how well you have learned today."
Yan Wan's face was full of anticipation: "Yes! I will definitely not drink today and go to bed early."
Hongli laughed and said, "I'm afraid the King of Bahrain and his men will toast to the Queen and you, and you have to drink."
Yan Wan's eyes curved, "Your Majesty has allowed me to drink, so I have no choice but to enjoy myself first and then drink up the hangover soup!"
Hongli nodded: "What a joke! Go now!"
Yanwan smiled and left.
Chunchan came over to help her, and Yanwan smiled and said, "You don't need to wear flower pot bottoms when you come out, and you can walk with the wind, so you don't need to support me."
Chunchan smiled and responded, whispering, "Eunuch Jinzhong just told me that the Third Prince seems to be acting strange lately."
Yan Wan didn't even pause, she hummed and suddenly laughed: "He can endure it."
It has been such a long time since Lujun died, and he is just now taking action. It is really difficult for him.
I just don't know whether Yongrong is also involved besides Yongzhang. It would be great if these two brothers acted together, so they can catch them all in one fell swoop.
Chunchan was a little worried: "They are princes after all, Master, are they really okay?"
Yan Wan said calmly, "Whether it's okay or not, it depends on whether they want to do it openly or covertly."
If it were obvious, they would have joined forces with the ministers to test the waters when Concubine Chun died. Unfortunately, their plan failed at that time, so they gave up completely and did not take any further action.
They accompanied the emperor to Khorchin this time, probably because the emperor had always valued them, and the princes and nobles of the Mongolian tribes also flattered them, which made them feel that they were capable again.
But the most important thing is that in the harem, her Yongshou Palace is heavily guarded, and she doesn't like to go out, so it's difficult to take action.
Now that we are outside the palace, on this barren grassland, it is much easier to do something if we really want to.
Yan Wan said, "After the banquet, go find Yingpin and ask her to help find someone who knows about horses. Every time before I go riding and shooting, we will check the horses and equipment together."
Chunchan looked solemn: "Yes, Master, don't worry."
Of course Yan Wan was relieved. After all, if they wanted to use the horse to harm her, they would just use those tricks that she had left over.
But if it's anything else...
That was a coincidence, she also had something else to do and wanted to invite the Third Prince to participate.
Just as I was thinking about this, I saw the princes and the children of the ministers walking towards this side, talking and laughing.
The leading Third Prince is now the Emperor's eldest son. After Yonghuang passed away, he seemed to be burdened with the heavy responsibility of being the "eldest son" and even walked with a swagger.
Yongqi walked behind with a gentle expression. It can be seen that the descendants of these high-ranking officials are more willing to follow the Third Prince, the Fourth Prince and the Sixth Prince.
Among them, the Third Prince and the Fourth Prince seem to be equally matched, but in fact, the young people with high status and position mainly gather around the Third Prince.
In this case, it is no wonder that the Third Prince was so proud and revealed his dissatisfaction with her in his words.
On the opposite side, the young people obviously also saw Yan Wan.
The Third Prince paused for a moment, then walked towards Yan Wan with a smile, and bowed as he approached her: "Greetings, Imperial Concubine."
Everyone saluted along with him, and for a moment, it really felt like they were the younger generation at the helm.
Yan Wan called out softly, "Seeing you children so high-spirited, I am really happy."
The Third Prince and the Sixth Prince smiled politely, but the Fourth Prince and Yongqi smiled sincerely.
The Fourth Prince smiled and replied, "It was all arranged by the Empress. I rode a horse and a carriage for so long, and I only rested last night. I woke up today feeling refreshed."
Yong Qi also smiled and said, "Where is the Imperial Concubine going? I heard that the Emperor and Sister He Jing were having a hunting contest, so we are going to go and take a look."
Yan Wan smiled and said, "You are late. The emperor and He Jing have already finished the game and killed a leopard.
The emperor was pleased and made Yingpin the Yingfei. The King of Bahrain will hold a banquet soon. You must ask her how much prey your sister has hunted."
Everyone was shocked.
Concubine Ying?
How long has it been!
She is actually Concubine Ying!
Even if the emperor valued the forty-nine Mongolian tribes, it was impossible for him to have a hunting competition with Princess Hejing for no reason. Instead, he promoted the position of Yingpin, who had nothing to do with the matter.
The Third Prince probed: "The Emperor suddenly promoted Concubine Ying to a higher rank. Could it be that Concubine Ying has done something meritorious?"
Yongqi frowned, feeling that as sons, they should not ask or discuss how the emperor treated his concubines.
But seeing that Ling'e'niang was not angry, but took over the conversation, he did not interrupt, but listened and watched thoughtfully.
"It's nothing special. I don't know how to ride a horse, and Concubine Ying taught me very hard. It just so happened that the Emperor and He Jing were hunting and were in high spirits, so I was promoted."
Third Prince: “…”
He almost couldn't keep the smile on his face.
It turned out to be the case.
It turned out to be so.
Father Emperor, how much does he like Concubine Ling?
Thinking of all that had happened before, he felt extremely angry, but he didn't dare to show it. He said in a gentle voice, "The ministers must congratulate Concubine Ying."
Seeing that he understood, Yan Wan was too lazy to continue talking nonsense with him and said softly, "Don't run too far. I'm afraid the emperor will send someone to notify you to attend the banquet soon."
Everyone bowed in response and respectfully saw her off.
Yanwan smiled and nodded at them, then walked away.
After walking a long way away, he turned around and looked at the backs of the Third Prince and the others.
It can be seen that the Third Prince is not in a good mood and his steps have become hurried.
Yes, he hated her in the first place, and now that he knew that he had done a big favor to King Bahrain and his sister had also done a big favor to King Bahrain, he must be jealous to death.
Chunchan supported Yanwan and said, "I don't know how far the Third Prince will go."
Yan Wan said softly, "I hope he can be a little braver, so that I don't have to do it again."
Chunchan always felt that her tone contained a hint of interest in the blood, which sounded scary.
She said softly, "I think differently from you. I have a narrow vision. I just hope you can be safe and happy. I hope all the enemies you encounter are just paper tigers."
