Chapter 327 Ruyi's Royal Love in the Palace Gao Xiyue 17

Consort Xian couldn't help but rebuke them, "You should all keep quiet."

"If you really want to know, why don't you just send someone to inquire in the side room? It's just that by then, Consort Jia probably won't think marrying a eunuch is a good thing anymore."

After saying that, Gao Xiyue left gracefully. Since Consort Xian wouldn't stay any longer, it would be a chance for A'Ruo to make her move.

Yongshou Palace —

Consort Zhe, wearing a cloak and gauntlets, rushed into the palace.

Gao Xiyue ate the chestnuts that Xingxuan had roasted, looked up at her, and said, "I didn't bring Yongjin and Jingyu today. It's so cold. You can come by yourself. Don't bring them."

"It wasn't that I wanted to bring them; they insisted on coming. I even sneaked over here when they weren't looking."

The head palace maid, Mu Jin, helped her remove her cloak and gave her hand guards. Consort Zhe sat on the couch and warmed her hands by the fire.

Gao Xiyue gave the other person a disdainful look. What a clingy person! "Didn't you just come yesterday? Why are you coming so often?"

"Didn't you remind me to be careful and not to be schemed against? Today I saw a little eunuch crying on the street, and I was thinking of going up to ask him what was wrong."

"Then I remembered what you said, so I turned around and went back, taking a longer route back to Chuxiu Palace." After saying this, Consort Zhe was a little smug and very satisfied with her actions.

Gao Xiyue chuckled. This silly girl, a concubine, why would she need to take a long detour to avoid a little eunuch? Wouldn't it be better to just ignore him? How dare he go up to her and explain the reason?

Zhefei was completely bewildered. "What? Did I do something wrong?"

Gao Xiyue suppressed a laugh, "That's right, that's exactly it, keep it up next time."

“Mei Chang is in Yonghe Palace, and news of her being unwell comes from time to time. It seems that her pregnancy is in jeopardy.”

Consort Zhe sighed. Although she felt sorry for her, she didn't intend to interfere. If she were to be overly kind, she would be too busy, and besides, she herself was being taken care of by her elder sister, the Noble Consort.

“Since Consort Mei is unwell, Consort Chun, Noble Lady Jia, and Consort Xian have all visited her. Let’s go and see her too, just to go through the motions.”

"Ah~~" Consort Zhe cried out, "Let me rest and warm up a bit, I've only just arrived at Yongshou Palace."

Gao Xiyue rolled her eyes at her. "When did I say I was going now?"

Zhefei realized she had misunderstood and smiled sheepishly, "That's good, that's good."

An hour later, the two rode in a heated sedan chair to Yonghe Palace.

After getting out of the sedan chair, Consort Zhe walked to Gao Xiyue's side, raised her hand guard to cover her nose, and looked disgusted.

"I've heard that Mei loves to eat fish and shrimp, but I never really knew until today. I can smell the fish from far away."

The Yongshou Palace where Gao Xiyue lived, the Chuxiu Palace where Consort Zhe lived, and the Changchun Palace where the Empress lived were all in the Western Six Palaces, which meant that they rarely entered the Eastern Six Palaces.

So now I realize that the Eastern Six Palaces are practically marinated with fish and shrimp.

Gao Xiyue also disliked the taste, her brows furrowed slightly. "Ever since Consort Chun said that eating more fish and shrimp makes children smarter, Consort Mei has been eating fish and shrimp with every meal."

"Isn't this going too far? Besides, when Consort Chun was pregnant with Yongzhang, she didn't eat much fish and shrimp."

Consort Zhe rolled her eyes. Mei Chang's intentions were good, but she was going a bit too far with herself. No matter how good something is, it's not good to eat it all the time.

Gao Xiyue stepped over the threshold and said, "Let's go in first. The sooner we go in, the sooner we can go back. If we stay too long, I'm afraid I'll end up smelling like fish too."
