Chapter 83 Back to the Palace

Emperor Yuan Yong couldn't help but feel puzzled again: "Lan'er has never been like this before, this is really strange!"

Emperor Yuan Yong came to the back corridor and saw that Xu Lanshan still looked a little depressed. He smiled and stepped forward to support her shoulders. "What's wrong?"

Xu Lanshan was startled, and stammered hesitantly: "Your Highness, Your Highness couldn't help but mock Concubine Lian today..."

Emperor Yuan Yong raised his eyebrows, and without waiting for a while, he asked, "And then?"

Xu Lanshan was depressed: "This concubine, this concubine is scared..."

Seeing her depressed look, Emperor Yuan Yong couldn't help laughing. He gently tapped her forehead and scolded her with a smile: "Are you scared now?"

Xu Lanshan forced a smile and said, "I was really angry at the time. I don't know what I did to provoke her. Why did she have to pick on me?"

Emperor Yuan Yong patted her gently and said, "From now on, when you see her, I will allow you to avoid her."

This was exactly what Xu Lanshan wanted. She quickly bowed and smiled sweetly, "Your Majesty, I thank you for your grace! Your Majesty, please remember this. If she insists on punishing me for this, I will have no choice but to beg Your Majesty to save me!"

That Meipin sounds very powerful. Concubine Yu and Concubine Shu are very secretive and fearful when they mention her. In addition, she has suffered injustice. It is hard to say how the emperor will rekindle his old feelings for her and pamper her after she has been released from the cold palace.

If I lose my favor, will Concubine Lian miss the opportunity to bully me? Definitely not!

She had to take advantage of the fact that Meipin was not around and ask for a guarantee.

Emperor Yuan Yong laughed heartily: "You! Don't worry, how could I not protect you?"

Xu Lanshan giggled and rubbed against his arms, hugging him affectionately and coquettishly: "I know! The emperor is the best to me!"

It's so easy to coax you, you're so happy now?

Emperor Yuan Yong sighed with a smile, and his mood also relaxed and happy. He couldn't help but gently lift her chin and lowered his head to kiss her...

The two of them were intimate with each other, talking sweetly, and were reluctant to part. Originally, Xu Lanshan was going to stay in Wan'an Hall to have dinner with Emperor Yuan Yong, but Concubine Yu came.

Seeing Xu Lanshan was also here, Concubine Yu looked a little unhappy, but not obviously.

She just complained and acted coquettishly: "Your Majesty is reluctant to be separated from your sister, Concubine Chen, but how long has it been since you had a good talk with me! Your Majesty, please pay attention to me! How can Your Majesty bear to make me sad like this!"

Emperor Yuan Yong laughed: "How could I ignore you? Didn't I go to Qingxiaxuan a few days ago?"

Concubine Yu said coquettishly: "The Emperor also knows that it was a few days ago!"

Emperor Yuan Yong laughed loudly.

When Xu Lanshan saw Concubine Yu coming, she knew that she had no right to compete with her, otherwise wouldn't she be considered spoiled?

What Emperor Yuan Yong hated most was concubines who became spoiled because of their favor.

She then jokingly said, "Sister Yufei, please don't wrongly accuse the emperor. Sister Yufei is outstanding in both appearance and character. Others will feel ashamed when they see her!"

Concubine Yu glared at her and said with a smile, "You're becoming more and more talkative! You're even teasing me. It shows that the Emperor really spoils you!"

Xu Lanshan covered her mouth, lowered her eyes and smiled: "Sister, I dare not! Sister, I will not disturb the emperor and Concubine Yu any longer. Sister, take your leave! Your Majesty, I will take my leave."

Emperor Yuan Yong felt a subtle sense of displeasure; he didn't want Xu Lanshan to leave. Xu Lanshan had already spoken, so he couldn't say anything else. He hummed softly and remained silent.

Xu Lanshan bowed, lowered her head and retreated.

After Concubine Yu arrived, she either turned sideways or lowered her head, never facing Concubine Yu head-on. With this beauty who brought disaster, she wanted to hide herself for as long as possible.

Concubine Yu's attention was all on the emperor, and she didn't even look at her twice.

When Xu Lanshan left, Emperor Yuan Yong couldn't help but follow her with his gaze until she disappeared from view. Then he retracted his gaze and looked at Concubine Yu.

Concubine Yu saw his reaction clearly and felt even more depressed for no reason. She pretended not to know and continued to talk to him with a smile.

Xu Lanshan returned to Yulinglong Hall and asked Yuchan to serve lunch.

She curled her lips and smiled, a little sarcastic.

It seems that Meipin's lethality is really great. Concubine Yu, who has always been calm, at ease, and disdainful of competing for favor with her, can no longer hold back and takes the initiative to attack.

She even wanted to meet this person earlier.

Xu Lanshan didn't expect that at lunch, the emperor actually rewarded her with two dishes, one was rouge goose breast and the other was stir-fried pork with shiitake mushrooms, both of which were her favorites.

My originally calm mood was suddenly disturbed for no reason, and I suddenly felt a little dull.

When this man is nice to others, he is really attentive, making people feel as if they are really loved and cherished by him.

However, she knew that this was not the case. He was the emperor, and everything he could do to her, he could naturally do to others.

For example, today at noon, whether she accompanies him for lunch or Concubine Yu, what difference does it make to him?

For some reason, Xu Lanshan only touched the two dishes with her chopsticks and gave them to Yuchan.

It was finally time to return to the palace.

When Xu Lanshan came, her luggage was quite simple, but when she left, it was a lot more.

The emperor gave a lot of rewards, and the empress and other concubines also sent gifts of condolence and congratulations. Yuchan took two young palace maids to pack up, and it took them a long time to get everything done. They packed four large boxes that were half a person's height.

Fortunately, there is no need to worry about transporting it. Just mark it and hand it over to the eunuch on duty.

Returning to the square, magnificent and solemn imperial palace, Xu Lanshan felt a little dazed. The rooms in Cuiyinxuan seemed to have become smaller.

Life in the palace is really too relaxed and comfortable.

But Xu Lanshan was a person who was very good at adjusting her mentality. When she went to Fengwu Palace to pay her respects to the Queen the next day, she was already calm and composed.

On this day, all the concubines in the palace were present to pay their respects. It was much more lively than when they were in the temporary palace. What made it even more lively was that Concubine Mei and Noble Lady Mo also came.

Concubine Mo was beautiful, but her eyes were too bright and lively. Perhaps because her life in the cold palace was not easy, even though she was released a while ago, she was not able to recover much in such a short time, and her cheeks still looked a little thin.

In order to make her complexion look better, she applied thick powder.

She was wearing a rose-red gown embroidered with gold, the embroidery covering the entire gown, which was exceptionally gorgeous. Her hair was also pinned with dazzling gold hairpins. If she stood in the sunlight, her facial features would be almost invisible.

In comparison, Concubine Mei was much more simple and elegant.

The light silver-blue palace dress was simple in style, with only white plum blossoms embroidered on the cuffs and hem. She wore light makeup and had her hair tied up with a jade hairpin. Perhaps to show a festive look, she pinned two light orange silk flowers made in the palace on her temples.
