Chapter 124 Only Chen Zhaoyi was passed on

Every time this happened, Xu Lanshan was particularly happy.

Emperor Yuan Yong, who was sitting beside the imperial desk, turned his head and saw a woman of outstanding beauty sitting leisurely on the kang, with a book loosely in her hands, a calm expression on her face, a faint smile on her lips. When she lowered her eyes, she seemed to see her thick and long eyelashes like crow feathers trembling slightly. Her slender waist, long white neck, and luxurious and precious pearl hairpins on her black hair were all beautiful and pleasing to the eye. He was so itchy that he wanted to put aside the memorials and go over to snuggle up to her and hug her to spend this leisure time together.

Emperor Yuan Yong felt inexplicably gentle in his heart, and the words "the years are quiet and good" subconsciously emerged in his mind.

This kind of pleasing, peaceful and tranquil feeling was something he had never experienced with any of his concubines, including the queen. Only the woman in front of him could always stir up this emotion deep in his heart.

Emperor Yuan Yong smiled slightly and shook his head. Lan'er was indeed different from others. So, he would try his best to protect her and let her keep smiling like that.

Xu Lanshan stayed in Ganyuan Palace for lunch, and took a short nap with Emperor Yuan Yong in the afternoon. After getting up from the nap, she left.

Dong Zhi came forward with a smile, holding a nearly foot-long box. Emperor Yuan Yong pouted and said with a smile, "Put it away. It's for Shang Lan'er!"

Xu Lanshan happily accepted it: "I thank the emperor for his grace!"

When I returned to Yilan Palace and opened it, I saw two rows of glittering gold ingots, twelve in total. Each one was slightly larger than an egg. No wonder it was so heavy!

Xu Lanshan was extremely happy. Gold, who doesn't like it? Regardless of whether it's useful or not, just looking at the glittering gold makes one feel good!

She happily put the gold ingots into the space, wishing she could grind ink for the scumbag emperor again.

It's quite easy to make money from the scumbag emperor.

In the evening, Emperor Yuan Yong indeed went to Concubine Yu's Baohe Palace for dinner. Xu Lanshan specifically asked someone to pay attention and tell her as soon as there was any news.

Although I felt a little unhappy when I learned this, I also felt that it was a good thing.

This way she won't be too conspicuous, which is a good thing.

It saves me from arguing with them all day long, which is also annoying.

That evening, Xiao Fuzi reported with a smile: "Your Majesty, the Emperor had dinner in Baohe Palace and soon returned to Ganyuan Palace. He did not summon Concubine Yu to sleep with him."

Xu Lanshan laughed and said, "You just love to ask about these random things!"

Xiao Fuzi smiled and said, "This is the only use I have for you. But I didn't deliberately ask for information. I just told Your Majesty when I found out. Your Majesty, just treat it as a joke!"

Xu Lanshan laughed out loud.

I have to say, she was quite happy to hear the news.

She was really unhappy that Concubine Yu had cut her off! How could she not be happy when she saw Concubine Yu being left behind?

The next night, Emperor Yuan Yong summoned Xu Lanshan to the Ganyuan Palace for dinner and sleeping with him. The next morning, when she was paying her respects at the Fengwu Palace, there was something wrong with the look in Concubine Yu's eyes when she looked at her.

But Concubine Mo was still looking for trouble. She said with a smile, "I heard that Concubine Chen was in the emperor's bedchamber again yesterday. Concubine Chen is always favored by the emperor. I'm afraid good things are coming soon, right?"

The concubines' expressions changed slightly when they heard this, and several of them looked at Xu Lanshan's lower abdomen intentionally or unintentionally.

Concubine Deng also laughed, half seriously and half jokingly saying, "That's right. It's a bit puzzling. Concubine Chen sleeps with you the most, but why is there no sign of pregnancy?"

Xu Lanshan smiled and said, "Offspring are destined by heaven. They will come naturally when the time comes. Who knows about such things? I have served the emperor for less than a year in total. I am not as experienced as my sisters. Each of them is more experienced than me. If my sisters are like this, how much more can I do?"

Concubine Yu hated to hear people mentioning offspring, and she said indifferently with a displeased heart, "The Empress is tolerant, but you shouldn't be so reckless. Can you just casually gossip about the royal offspring?"

Neither Concubine Mo nor Concubine Deng dared to say a word.

Xu Lanshan even more.

But Concubine Yu chose to target Xu Lanshan: "Even if Concubine Chen is favored, she should remember her status. It is not a good sign to be spoiled by favor."

Xu Lanshan smiled faintly: "Don't worry, Concubine Yu, my sisters remind me from time to time to remember my identity. I hear this every two or three days. I have already memorized it in my heart and will never forget it!"

Concubine Yu stared at her deeply and sneered.

Mo Jieyu smiled and said, "Empress Yufei means well, but what Concubine Chen said doesn't sound right!"

Xu Lanshan: "Has Mo Jieyu ever thought that maybe there's something wrong with her ears?"

"What?"

"Otherwise, why would Mo Jieyu's words sound so strange when they reach her ears?"

"you!"

Concubine Shu chuckled, "Alright, stop arguing. Concubine Mo talks too much. Concubine Chen is still young, what is there to argue about?"

Xu Lanshan: “…”

Okay!

After the concubines paid their respects and left, Concubine Yu suddenly called Xu Lanshan over and said with a smile, "If Concubine Chen has nothing to do, why don't you come up to my place and sit for a while?"

To be honest, Xu Lanshan didn't want to go at all. She was planning to go to Concubine Bai's place.

She was just thinking of an excuse to shirk her responsibility when a young eunuch from the Qianyuan Palace came running over, bowing and smiling: "Chen Zhaoyi, the Emperor summons Chen Zhaoyi."

Xu Lanshan felt relieved and secretly praised the scumbag emperor. He came just in time and saved her an excuse.

She didn't need to say anything, just an apologetic smile to Concubine Yu was enough.

Concubine Yu was quite unhappy, so she smiled and said, "It just so happens that I also want to go and pay my respects to the Emperor, so let's go together."

"OK!"

Xu Lanshan smiled brightly, she didn't care.

Unexpectedly, the young eunuch forced himself to smile and say, "Concubine Yu, Concubine Yu... Your Majesty, Your Majesty only summoned Concubine Chen, Your Majesty..."

Concubine Yu's face darkened.

Bai Rong, the senior palace maid beside her, scolded her, "How dare you! Concubine Yu has come to pay her respects to the Emperor. Could it be that the Emperor won't see her? The Emperor has always valued us the most! He only summoned Concubine Chen, so he didn't know our Empress was here. Why are you so talkative?"

The young eunuch naturally didn't dare argue with the senior palace maid beside Concubine Yu. After all, she was representing Concubine Yu, so he had to give up. "I dare not! I dare not! If I said something wrong, please forgive me, Concubine Yu!"

Concubine Yu smiled and said, "Alright, don't keep the emperor waiting any longer, let's go!"

Although she was still a little unhappy, she was not so angry as to argue with a small eunuch. How undignified!

Concubine Yu took over the responsibility and walked in front, and Xu Lanshan followed slowly with Yuchan.
