Princess Donglin not only looks similar to Zhaoyang, but the innocence and liveliness in her eyes and eyebrows are also similar to Zhaoyang.
A princess who is brought up in a golden nest may always be naive.
Chen Wei restrained her expression and showed a kind smile: "Princess Zhenmin, you don't have to be polite. The princess has come from afar, and I will do my best to be a good host. The palace has prepared a dinner, and the princess will come with me to the banquet."
Princess Donglin nodded happily: "Zhenmin is hungry after the long journey. Thank you for your help, Concubine Chen."
The two exchanged some polite words, and Princess Donglin followed Chen Wei's steps into the majestic Daqing Palace.
The palace road was long, and the eunuchs and palace maids along the way were in good order, and the guards holding knives stood tall. Princess Donglin was secretly amazed in her heart, this Imperial Concubine Chen was truly extraordinary.
The Qing Kingdom's harem was managed by her in an orderly manner.
Princess Donglin secretly looked at the legendary Imperial Concubine Chen. Chen Wei was wearing gorgeous imperial concubine's auspicious dress, with hairpins swaying gently. She was very beautiful, and her eyes always had a faint smile, as if everything was under her control.
Princess Donglin thought to herself that she must not offend Concubine Chen. If I could rely on Concubine Chen, I think I would have someone to rely on in a foreign country.
...
...
Changxin Palace.
As it gets dark and the lights come on, exquisite delicacies are served on the table. Lu Xuan picked up the white jade chopsticks, looked at the table full of delicious food, took only two bites, and couldn't eat any more.
Xiaoqin said worriedly: "Master, you are pregnant, you should eat more."
Ever since she discovered the emperor's favoritism towards Shen Wei, Lu Xuan felt like she was falling into the abyss. Even though she tried hard to tell herself that she didn't need to care about the emperor's favoritism.
But the more she pretended not to care, the more unwilling she felt deep down. As a result, the appetite decreases and food cannot be swallowed.
Lu Xuan drank two sips of the health-preserving soup and asked Xiao Qin, "What does Princess Donglin look like?"
Xiaoqin replied, "I secretly took a look today. Princess Donglin is very pretty and innocent. Concubine Chen held a welcoming banquet for her. She should be having dinner in Qinghua Palace at this time."
Lu Xuan lowered her beautiful eyes, a hint of sarcasm flashed across her lips: "I'm afraid Concubine Chen is panicking. When a new person enters the palace, the Emperor will always be curious for a while."
No matter how affectionate a man is, he always craves novelty.
A beautiful and lively new bride entering the palace might be able to share some of the favor.
Lu Xuan asked again: "Continue to send people to keep an eye on the Imperial Hospital."
Xiaoqin looked worried: "Master, Concubine Chen seems to have discovered that we are keeping an eye on Doctor Mo. Concubine Chen has removed our guards from the gate of the Imperial Hospital and arranged them to work in the palace."
Lu Xuan's expression froze.
Lu Xuan also placed and bribed some guards in the palace to be responsible for security patrols. Before, Lu Xuan sent people to instigate Lanpin to take revenge, but the guards on duty turned a blind eye and allowed Lanpin to hurt people with a knife.
Lu Xuan handled this matter flawlessly.
But it still couldn't hide it from Shen Wei's eyes.
The guards and palace maids bribed by Lu Xuan were eliminated one after another by Chen Wei. Lu Xuan was upset. Shen Wei, who held the power of the six palaces, was too difficult to deal with.
She is much more difficult to deal with than the stupid queen back then.
"We can't wait any longer." Lu Xuan had a premonition that if she didn't fight back, sooner or later she would be suppressed by Shen Wei and unable to turn over.
Lu Xuan said in a gloomy voice, "Find a way to keep an eye on the Imperial Hospital. It would be best if we could find evidence of Concubine Chen and Imperial Doctor Mo having a secret meeting and bring them down in one fell swoop."
Xiao Qin nodded: "I understand."

Princess Donglin's entry into the palace has stirred up concerns among many people. In the Yan Mansion in Yanjing City, it was already late in the evening when a maid walked into the master's bedroom carrying water for washing feet.
Tan Tairou took off Yan Yunting's shoes and socks and soaked his feet with him. The hot water in the wooden barrel is of suitable temperature. Soaking your feet in it will make your whole body feel comfortable.
But Yan Yunting was obviously deep in thought, and several times when Tan Tairou spoke to him, Yan Yunting didn't hear her.
Concern appeared on Tan Tairou's beautiful face. She held Yan Yunting's hand and said with concern, "My husband, you have been busy all day and must be tired. Drink a bowl of calming soup later and have a good rest."
Yan Yunting came back to his senses and smiled: "I am indeed a little tired."
After they washed their feet, the maid took the foot washing water out. Tan Tairou helped Yan Yunting take off his coat and put on thick pajamas.
Yan Yunting drank the calming soup and lay back on the bed, but he still couldn't fall asleep. In his mind, Princess Donglin's smile kept appearing, overlapping with the face of Princess Zhaoyang in his memory.
Princess Donglin and Princess Zhaoyang are somewhat similar.
The cute, lively look is more like...
Men always think about the women they can't get.
Ever since Princess Zhaoyang married and moved to the Kingdom of Yue, Yan Yunting has been thinking about her all the time, and his longing for her has become increasingly intense. Today, when he accidentally caught a glimpse of Princess Donglin, Yan Yunting's quiet heart was once again filled with huge waves.
"Husband, what's wrong with you?" Tan Tairou's voice came over. Yan Yunting turned around and saw Tan Tairou lying beside the pillow.
Tan Tai's soft black hair was scattered on her shoulders, her face was delicate and graceful, and under her willow-leaf eyebrows, were a pair of eyes full of worry.
Yan Yunting suddenly felt guilty.
He already had a good wife and shared the same bed with her, but he was still thinking about the foreign princess. Yan Yunting embraced Tan Tairou and whispered, "Nothing, go to bed early."
Tan Tai nodded gently and leaned dependently in Yan Yunting's arms.
Yan Yunting hugged his beloved wife, and the face of Princess Donglin appeared in his mind again. He slowly closed his eyes, felt sleepy, and finally fell into a deep sleep.
The servants in the yard have been unloaded, and the Yan Mansion is quiet and peaceful. Stepping out of the bed, Tan Tairou slowly opened her eyes. She took Yan Yunting's arm away expressionlessly, lifted the bed curtain, and walked carefully to the table.
Light the small lamp, the light is as small as a bean.
She took a very fine charcoal pencil and wrote a few lines on a small piece of paper. A gray carrier pigeon landed on the window frame. Tan Tairou rolled up the written letter into a small roll and tied it to the pigeon's claws.
The carrier pigeon flew away and disappeared in the vast moonlight.
Tan Tairou returned to the bedroom with ease, glanced at the sleeping Yan Yunting, and a hint of disgust appeared in her eyes.
She closed her eyes and continued to sleep next to Yan Yunting.
...
...
Princess Donglin stayed in the palace for two days.
Li Yuanjing did not intend to take her as a concubine, so he asked Shen Wei to choose among the royal relatives and ministers above the fifth rank to be the husband of Princess Donglin.
In Yongning Palace, Shen Wei looked through the information of clan relatives and ministers in her hand and was in a dilemma. No matter how small Donglin State is, it is still a country, and a princess of a country cannot be a concubine of a minister.
But in the city of Yanjing, all the ministers of marriageable age were married. Unmarried officials mostly served in the Ministry of War, the Ministry of Personnel, and the Ministry of Works. Princess Donglin must not marry officials from these places. Shen Wei is afraid that she will steal Qing’s military strategies.
It would be best to marry Princess Donglin to an official from the Ministry of Rites. The Ministry of Rites is in charge of national etiquette and does not involve too many state secrets.
Shen Wei looked through the list of officials in the Ministry of Rites but didn't find anyone suitable. She sighed and prepared to look through the list of sons of the Duke and Lord's families. It is actually appropriate for Princess Donglin to marry the son of a prince who has no real power.
Cai Lian came to report: "Master, Princess Zhenmin wants to see you."
