Chapter 10: Feeling sorry for a man will bring you bad luck for the rest of your life

When Wen Wanyu woke up, it was getting dark outside.

I glanced at the couch and saw that no one was there.

Bai Su called out and came into the room. He lit a candle and said, "Master, wake up."

Candles were lit one after another, and the hall suddenly became bright. Wen Wanyu covered her eyes uncomfortably and asked, "When did the emperor leave?"

"The Emperor only stayed for half an hour before returning to Chengqian Palace."

Wen Wanyu stretched and asked, "Did the emperor leave any words when he left?"

Bai Su thought for a while: "The emperor didn't leave any words. Not long after he left, he sent someone to deliver a bottle of wound ointment."

Wen Wanyu said "hmm".

The gifts from the emperor must be good.

I just hope it won’t affect my greetings tomorrow.

Bai Su asked, "Should I apply medicine to you?"

"Okay." Wen Wanyu lay on the bed.

Bai Su lifted up her skirt, revealing a shocking wound. She was both angry and distressed, and could not help but comment:

"Miss Shen is truly overbearing. She's so brazen, as if mocking our inability to do anything to her."

Wen Wanyu's tone was as light as a sigh: "She just relies on her status and knows that I can't do anything."

To put it bluntly, Lady Shen was certain that she would not make a big fuss, and she did not dare to make a big fuss because she could not defeat her, so she dared to provoke her blatantly.

Bai Su was disappointed: "But the emperor saw your wound. The emperor also knows who hurt you."

"Master, it must have been very painful at that time, right?"

She was wearing pointy shoes and it hit her tendon, how could it not hurt? But it was indeed because of her delicate skin and fair skin that it seemed a little shocking.

Wen Wanyu smiled: "What's the use of the emperor knowing. The emperor is also bound by the throne and can only take the overall situation into consideration. The emperor sent someone to deliver the wound ointment, isn't this the best explanation."

After a pause, he said, "I'm a vindictive person, but now it's OK."

Her last sentence was so soft that Bai Su didn't hear it clearly. He said "ah" and leaned closer to ask, "What did you say, young master?"

"……nothing."

Bai Su joked, "My lady, from what you just said, are you worried about the Emperor?"

Wen Wanyu rolled his eyes silently.

"Of course..." No.

If you feel sorry for a man, you will be unlucky for the rest of your life.

After applying the medicine for her, Bai Su pressed her again, which, according to the female doctor, was to rub away the blood stasis.

Bai Su’s massage technique was very good, and Wen Wanyu lay down and fell asleep.

"Master, please have dinner before going to bed. Today we have your favorite bamboo shoot chicken soup."

"Dried bamboo shoots and chicken soup." Wen Wanyu suddenly woke up: "Okay."

…

Tonight, Xie Junyao didn't summon anyone to his bed. During the day, he stayed in Changli Pavilion, listening to Wen Wanyu's soft and tender voice. He took another half-hour nap, and his fatigue and irritability were swept away.

The only thing he was dissatisfied with was that she actually went to sleep on the bed, leaving him alone on the crowded couch.

Is she really heartless? If it were someone else, they would want to stick close to him or stay with him all the time. In any case, they would never go to sleep alone.

But then I thought again, being heartless is not always a bad thing. At least it makes me feel comfortable and relaxed when I am with her.

I had thought of summoning her to sleep with me tonight, but considering that she had an injury on her foot, I decided not to.

The next morning, when paying respects to the emperor, the empress announced to the public the news that the emperor had bestowed the character "Jin" as the title of Concubine Shen and promoted her to the rank of Fangyi.

Jin Fangyi accepted the title with great trepidation.

Among the concubines, some were envious, while others were disdainful.

There weren't many concubines with titles in the palace. Only Concubine Zhengui and Concubine Wan were there, and Concubine Shen had only been in the palace a few days.

Jing means to be careful in what you say and do.

But it also has another meaning - solemnly and respectfully.

Jin Fangyi was not very happy.

If the emperor really values ​​her, he could have awarded her the title of "Jin", "Jin" or "Jing". The emperor is asking her to be careful with her words and actions.

She guessed that someone had proposed it to the emperor.

The emperor has only been to Concubine Zhengui's Fuyao Palace. Besides, only Concubine Zhengui has such a strong say in the palace.

So, it must be Concubine Zhengui.

Concubine De smiled and nodded: "Congratulations, Jin Fangyi."

"Thank you, Empress Defei."

Newcomers Fang Cainv and Zhao Cainv usually had a low profile, but today they joined in the congratulations.

As usual, Concubine Zhengui did not come to pay her respects.

Concubine Wan naturally put on the airs of a favored concubine and said to Shen Wanyi with a half-smile, "Jin Fangyi, your future actions must be worthy of the title bestowed upon you by the Emperor."

Jin Fangyi was in no mood to mediate with her and said, "I understand."

Wen Wanyu accidentally met her gaze.

Jin Fangyi was like a cat whose tail was stepped on. She glanced at her coldly and said, "Why? Are you making fun of me? You are just the daughter of a fifth-rank official."

Wen Wanyu smiled on the surface, but inside she was mad. There was actually someone in this palace who was even more narcissistic than herself.

From now on, no one dares to look at her again, because looking at her means paying attention to her all the time.

Besides, what's wrong with being a fifth-rank official? What's wrong with her?

She forced a smile on her face and said, "I envy you. Sister Jin is the third person in the palace to have a title."

"You are a princess personally appointed by the late emperor, the legitimate daughter of a minister. How could anyone dare to laugh at you?"

Kill you.

Jin Fangyi snorted, "I don't think you dare laugh at me."

Concubine De passed by them and stopped. "The flowers in the Imperial Garden are in full bloom. Jin Fangyi, Wen Cairen, would you like to accompany me for a stroll?"

Jin Fangyi agreed readily.

Concubine De looked at Wen Wanyu.

Wen Wanyu didn't want to join in the fun, so she bowed and declined, "It's really unfortunate. My concubine is not in good health, so I'm afraid I can't accompany Her Majesty the Virtuous Consort to appreciate the flowers."

"No problem." Concubine De said with concern: "Go back and have a good rest, Ms. Wen."

"yes."

Watching the two of them leave, Wen Wanyu curled her lips imperceptibly. If nothing unexpected happened, Concubine De and Jin Fangyi would be together more often in the future.

Wen Wanyu slowly returned to Changlixuan, thinking about the reason why Concubine De tried to win over Jin Fangyi.

She didn't even know when Yu Cairen caught up with her. It was only when Yu Cairen called her that she realized it.

Wen Wanyu smiled awkwardly, "Talented Yu."

Yu Cairen looked at her and asked, "Sister Wen, what were you thinking about just now? You looked absent-minded."

"I'm just daydreaming."

Yu Cairen laughed twice and said, "The jasmine flowers outside Qinyun Pavilion are blooming. Sister Wen, would you like to go and see them?"

Admiring flowers? She didn't have the leisure to do that.

Wen Wanyu blinked and said, "Just now, the Defei invited me to enjoy the flowers. Now, I am not feeling well."

Seeing that she had asked Consort De to be her shield, Yu Cairen couldn't force it. She smiled and said, "Then Sister Wen, go back and have a good rest."

When I returned to Changlixuan, Cheng Shuyi pulled me over and asked me as soon as I walked in: "Why are you back so late today?"

Chang Lixuan was obviously hers, but Cheng Shuyi arrived earlier than her.

However, Wen Wanyu was already used to her elusiveness. After sitting down in a chair, he slowly said, "I ran into Consort De, Jin Fangyi, and Consort Yu. I exchanged a few words with them."

"What did you say?"

"They invited me to see the flowers. And I said I wasn't feeling well?"

Cheng Shuyi smiled: "Really?"

Wen Wanyu took a sip of tea: "You..."

"Jealous?"

"No." Cheng Shuyi looked away awkwardly, still stubborn.

Wen Wanyu glanced at her, held back his laughter, and deliberately replied with just "Oh".

Magic beats magic. Cheng Shuyi was the first to give in. "Wen Wanyu, you can only be good to me. The best in the world."

"Okay, okay."
