Concubine Liu summoned Ji Yunhuan in the name of teaching him palace affairs.
Ji Yunhuan rode on the sedan chair awarded by the Empress Dowager and went to Changchun Palace with great fanfare.
Tao Hong was extremely anxious. "Your Majesty, everyone is saying that you have fallen out of favor. Concubine Liu is holding a Hongmen Banquet, clearly trying to deal with you. Can we not go?"
The sedan chair was carried by four eunuchs, and it was both stable and soft. Ji Yunhuan closed his eyes and pretended to sleep, saying casually:
"What are you afraid of? I'm invulnerable to swords and spears, and immune to all poisons. I'm afraid she won't take action."
"Oh, my lady, it's already this late, and you're still in the mood to tease Taohong? I'd better send someone to find Nanny Yan. If anything happens, the Empress Dowager can back us up!"
Taohong became so anxious that she forgot to call her "empress".
Ji Yunhuan patted her head and chuckled, "I'm not kidding you. Your young lady will be fine."
"The Queen often summons me to teach me about palace affairs. If she summons me for this reason and nothing has happened, wouldn't it be frivolous for us to go to the Queen Mother?"
"Don't worry, I have my own arrangements. Just follow me and listen to my instructions."
Taohong naturally believed in the young lady unconditionally. Starting from Shuiyue Temple, the young lady seemed to have come to her senses. Not only did she deal with Aunt Zhang, but even the master was driven out of the house. They entered the palace, and their lives became better and better.
But the palace was full of dangers, and she couldn't do anything to help the young lady.
Ji Yunhuan saw what Taohong was thinking and rubbed her head vigorously. "You are not useless. At least you can make me laugh. Come on, smile and don't look so sad."
Taohong pushed the lady's hand away and slowly fixed her messy hair.
"Young lady is so annoying, she always makes fun of Taohong! She was like this when she was little, dignified in front of people but naughty behind their backs. After Madam left, Young lady has never been cheerful again."
"They say that once you enter the palace, it's like entering a deep sea. Taohong actually feels that the young lady has become much more cheerful. It shows that His Majesty really dotes on her."
Ji Yunhuan was stunned for a moment. Is that really the case? Because of the favor, she had the confidence to even dare to get angry at the emperor.
She subconsciously touched her belly, not knowing how long this pampering could last. The thing in her belly was the last confidence that allowed her to talk and laugh.
The master and servant chatted and laughed, and the sedan chair soon arrived at Changchun Palace.
Concubine Liu actually came over with a kind face and personally helped Ji Yunhuan up as she was bowing.
"Sister Shufei, you are too polite. His Majesty loves you and wants you to manage the palace affairs. Naturally, I will teach you more. The affairs of the harem are complicated, so you must be patient and learn."
It can be seen that Concubine Liu rarely plays scenes of sisterly love, and the smile on her face is particularly stiff.
Ji Yunhuan acted flattered and said, "I am overwhelmed. It is my great fortune to be taught by Your Majesty personally."
Ji Yonglian also came forward to pay her respects to Ji Yunhuan, "Sister, I was ignorant when I was young and made many mistakes. Now I have changed my ways and will serve you well in the future."
Ji Yunhuan was surprised. After not seeing Ji Yonglian for so many days, she really had changed a lot and her ability to pretend had improved.
"Sister, you are too polite. We are sisters, and sisters don't hold grudges overnight. Seeing that you are living so well now and have Concubine Liu's support, I am relieved."
Ji Yonglian bit her lip and suppressed the hatred in her heart. If it weren't for Ji Yunhuan's coercion, how could she have fallen to this point? Ji Yunhuan's words were clearly a mockery of her!
"Okay, let's go inside and talk." Concubine Liu said.
The three of them walked into the house hand in hand, talking and laughing, just like real sisters.
There was only a set of tables and chairs in the room, so Concubine Liu was naturally sitting down. Ji Yonglian was used to it, so she stood behind her and fanned her.
"I heard that Concubine Shu's sister is well-known in the capital for her talent. I'm sure she must be very good at making ink."
Ji Yunhuan smiled good-naturedly, "It is my honor to serve the Imperial Concubine with writing."
Taohong came forward to help Ji Yunhuan roll up his sleeves. Ji Yunhuan's fingers were slender and white as scallions, and his fingertips were light pink, like fine jade.
The slender white fingers turned gently, the fragrance of ink filled the air, which was quite pleasing to the eye.
Concubine Liu looked at her fingers painted with cardamom. She took good care of her hands every day and thought they were beautiful enough, but now they looked inferior.
"That's enough! This is enough ink. I think Ji Da Ying is tired too. Why not let Sister Shu Fei do it for you?"
Taohong really couldn't help it. Not only did she not let the young lady sit, but she also asked her to fan herself. The young lady was pregnant, so why should she serve this imperial concubine!
"Your Highness, please let me do it. I am strong and I can fight steadily."
Concubine Liu raised her eyebrows and said angrily, "How dare you! Don't you consider your own status? A lowly maid from outside the palace, are you qualified to fan me?"
This seems to be a scolding of Taohong, but in fact it is a scolding of Ji Yunhuan.
Ji Yunhuan was indifferent to this level of provocation. She stood in front of Taohong with a smile on her face.
"Don't be angry, sister. This little girl is old and doesn't know much. It's better for me to serve you."
Ji Yonglian was very happy and immediately handed the fan to Ji Yunhuan, "Sister, please fan well. If the wind is too weak, the Imperial Concubine will be angry."
The fan was as tall as a person and felt heavy in her hand. Ji Yunhuan's hands felt sore after playing with it for a while, but she didn't make it difficult for herself and just pretended. She didn't want to serve Concubine Liu!
"Ouch~" Ji Yunhuan screamed, and the fan in his hand fell towards Concubine Liu, and he also fell towards Taohong.
Taohong immediately supported the young lady, her face turning pale with fright.
Ji Yunhuan blinked at Taohong, signaling her not to worry, and then struggled to stand up.
"Your Highness, calm down! I am weak and I lost my grip. Please give me a chance to redeem myself. I will never hit you again."
Concubine Liu had a bump on her forehead and was so angry that she was fuming!
How dare Ji Yunhuan? This bitch must have done it on purpose! She shouldn't have listened to Ji Yonglian. It would have been much easier to just give this bitch twenty smacks!
Ji Yunhuan picked up the fan again and fanned it shakily, as if he was about to fall down at any moment.
"Your Majesty, be careful!" Ji Yonglian rushed over with great sincerity and protected Concubine Liu as she went out.
Concubine Liu was so angry that she kicked her and cursed, "Is this what you call a good idea? If I lose face in the slightest, I will skin you alive!"
Ji Yonglian knelt on the ground, wishing she could skin Concubine Liu alive.
This idiot can't even punish anyone, he deserves to lose to the Queen!
"Your Majesty, please calm down! If this gets out, it will be because you humiliated her first, and we are not in the right. She insists on pretending to be weak, and Your Majesty cannot force her. We should find some quiet and torturous way..."
Concubine Liu nodded repeatedly after hearing this and immediately asked someone to make arrangements.
"If it doesn't work out, you're the only one I'll hold responsible!"
