Chapter 408: A Bit of a Slave
It can be seen that the emperor really hates Ruyi.
It's just a pity that as an emperor, he can only be a son-in-law who takes revenge on his wife secretly, and can't even take revenge to his heart's content.
Sometimes, Jinzhong felt sorry for him - after all, when it comes to love, everyone has to give, but there is a big difference between being willing and being unwilling.
He knew very well that he was of low status and had no right to comfort the high and mighty Emperor. He walked forward cautiously and said in a voice that was much softer and gentler than usual:
"Your Majesty, please do not get angry and hurt yourself. I will definitely arrange everything and will not bother Your Majesty with these matters anymore."
Hongli hummed calmly: "Go and tell the Queen and the Imperial Concubine that I will go and have dinner with them later."
Jinzhong smiled and said, “Yes.”
He respectfully performed a standard Qian'er salute to the front, then slowly backed away with light steps until he reached the door, and only then did he dare to turn his back to the hall.
Seeing Jinbao and Jinshou coming over, he whispered a few words of advice about the emperor's preferences today before going to Empress Fucha.
After a while, he arrived at the door of the Queen's bedroom. After reporting, he walked into the palace quickly and knelt down to salute: "Greetings, Her Majesty the Queen."
Empress Fucha sat upright and looked at him for a while before calling out.
When he stood still, he asked, "How is the emperor doing? Has he been upset by that nagging woman?"
Jinzhong lowered his head and replied, "In reply to the Empress, the Emperor has indeed been in a bad mood these past few days, but fortunately he had a very pleasant conversation with Concubine Rong yesterday, and he seems to be in much better condition today."
After hearing this, Empress Fucha's eyes remained cold. She said softly, "That's great, as long as the emperor is fine. After all, the health of the emperor is related to the fate of the Qing Dynasty. You must serve the emperor with all your heart and do not let the emperor get upset over trivial matters."
Jinzhong quickly responded, "Yes, the Queen is right. I will follow your instructions and serve the Emperor well."
Empress Fucha asked casually, "In your opinion, is Concubine Rong a peaceful person?"
These words... Jinzhong said softly, "Madam Rongpin doesn't seem to have any worldly desires. I gave her a few pointers before, and she treated me politely. I think she is grateful and repays the kindness."
After hearing this, Empress Fucha understood in her heart - this Concubine Rong had no intention of competing for favor, nor was she the kind of person who liked to stir up trouble. She was even more grateful for Wanwan's careful care.
Empress Fucha looked at Jinzhong with a calm and gentle expression: "Your Majesty has always favored the women of Xianguan, and now he has developed a sympathy for Rongpin. However, these two women have very different personalities, and I am afraid that there will be many rifts between them in the future.
"The women of Xianguan are ignorant, eccentric, and often act recklessly; and this Rongpin is cold and taciturn. As someone serving in front of the emperor, you should remind them from time to time and not let them behave inappropriately. If they make a scene, it will be a betrayal of His Majesty's grace and will also make His Majesty sick!"
Jinzhong was shocked. Did Lingzhuer tell the Queen about his and her plans, or did the Queen guess it herself?
He didn't dare to say anything, fearing that he might give away the truth. He remained calm and said, "Yes, I will serve the emperor well and let him not worry about trivial matters."
Empress Fucha hummed and waved her hand: "Go find Concubine Ling and ask her to send someone to tell me what she wants to eat for lunch."
Jinzhong respectfully responded to the Queen's instructions and slowly walked out of the room.
It was not until he stepped out of the door that symbolized majesty and solemnity that he breathed a sigh of relief, and his body relaxed slightly.
Every time he came to the Queen's place, for some reason, an invisible sense of tension would always quietly creep into his heart, making him involuntarily straighten his back and become cautious.
This feeling was even stronger than when facing the Emperor, as if one would make a horrible mistake if one was not careful.
But no matter how nervous I was, I couldn't help but feel happy every time I came out of here - the Queen treated my son like a mother treats her daughter, without any selfish motives.
He only hoped that there would be more and more people in the harem who would treat his master sincerely.
He was thinking aimlessly while walking forward quickly.
It was not until he saw the gate of the palace where Yan Wan lived that he slowed down, adjusted his breathing, and quickly straightened his posture.
After entering the door, he stood in the yard and waited patiently to be summoned.
Soon, Chunchan came over to lead the way: "General Manager, please come this way."
Jinzhong smiled at her politely until he entered the room. Chunchan and Lancui were watching at the door, and Wang Chan was strolling around the door casually. Only then did he completely relax.
"The Emperor still likes Rongpin very much and has not been influenced by the woman from Xianguan."
Yan Wan seemed to have anticipated the situation, and her face did not show any surprise: "The emperor has always thought highly of himself. Now Ruyi is no longer his loving wife in the past, but a person he hates and avoids, but cannot kill for various reasons. Naturally, he will not take Ruyi's words to heart."
After saying that, she smiled softly: "Besides, among all the women in the harem, who has the emperor truly loved, she would not smear them?"
Jinzhong looked up at her expression with a smile when she spoke. Her eyes and brows seemed gentle as water, but in fact they were cold and indifferent. Gentle and noble, yet cold and sharp. No matter how many times he looked at them, he would never feel that he had seen enough.
Yan Wan's ears burned when he looked at her, and she glared at him: "You act a bit like a slave!"
Jinzhong begged for mercy: "My Lord, I will have to go back and report soon. Please don't be angry with me."
Yan Wan was unwilling to be angry with him. She wanted to touch his Adam's apple, but was afraid that the fragrance today would be different from that of the emperor, so she just moved her fingertips slightly and took a round orange to him:
"I am not that stingy."
Jinzhong held the orange in his hand, as if what Yanwan gave him was not an orange but her true heart.
Yan Wan felt itchy inside because of his laughter, so she had to talk about some serious matters to calm down: "Nothing has happened, right?"
Jinzhong's attention was diverted. He frowned slightly, lowered his voice and told Empress Fucha what she had told him, and asked softly, "Did your master tell the Empress what?"
Yan Wan shook her head: "It's enough for us to know how rebellious our plan is."
Which child would take the initiative to tell his parents if he did something bad?
Madam, what is she...
Yan Wan played with the sapphire ring on her finger and whispered, "We don't need to tell the queen about what we did. As long as the queen tells you to do something that does not violate the plan, just do it. If it violates the plan, you can tell me and we can discuss it again."
Jinzhong narrowed his fox eyes slightly and smiled crookedly: "Yes, I will obey the master's orders."
Yan Wan glanced at him. If she wasn't afraid that he would be tainted with her scent, she would have poked him on the forehead.
Just laugh if you want to, why laugh like that? !
