When Lady Chen heard the discussions outside, she curled her lips.
That damn old woman, Concubine Shu, is simply wasting the emperor's filial piety. The emperor is so good to her, but she doesn't even think of taking the opportunity to take revenge on Concubine Shu for arranging a bedroom for her.
If the emperor cared so much about her, why would she be suppressed by Concubine Shu in the harem?
Thinking of this, the door was pushed open by the palace servants.
A bright yellow color caught Lady Chen's eyes. She stood up in disbelief and rubbed her eyes.
It’s the emperor. The emperor actually came to see her?
How long has it been since the Emperor went to those bitches whenever he entered the palace? Is it finally her turn now?
Seeing her standing there in a daze, Eunuch Cao coughed lightly and rolled his eyes in his heart.
Is this beautiful lady Chen fantasizing about something again?
"Your Majesty, I pay my respects to you. I apologize for not coming to greet you. I hope you will forgive me."
The emperor stood at the door holding Yu Yiluo, and asked Concubine Chen to stand up with an indifferent expression.
"Thank you, Your Majesty."
Concubine Chen stood up, but seeing that the emperor had no intention of coming in, she didn't dare to speak rashly.
She looked at the emperor across the threshold. The emperor was facing the backlight, so she couldn't see the expression on his face clearly.
"Miss Chen, have you heard what's happening outside?"
[You had the news spread throughout the harem. I'm afraid even Concubine Shu heard it herself. However, she probably expected it and wouldn't be too surprised to hear it.]
Concubine Chen was confused and replied truthfully, "I have heard everything."
The emperor nodded and said, "There are rumors spreading all over the palace now. You should reflect on your mistakes behind closed doors."
After saying this, the emperor turned and left.
Concubine Chen looked at the emperor's departing back, slumped in her chair and remained silent for a long time.
It was clearly Concubine De and a few others who were playing mahjong. The emperor should have just not punished them, but he actually asked her to reflect on her mistakes behind closed doors?
"Master, this is fine."
Seeing her like this, Qing'er sighed and walked to her side.
"Good?" Lady Chen sneered, "Being put in solitary confinement is not so bad."
It's really a case of not getting to eat the mutton, but getting covered in fishy smell.
"Master, don't you understand why the emperor punished you?"
Knowing that she was simple-minded, Qing'er patiently explained to her.
"The Emperor instructed the ladies to play mahjong in secret, but your actions yesterday forced the matter to be brought out into the open."
Qing'er poured her a cup of tea and continued, "What's more, rumors are spreading everywhere now. The only people present yesterday were you and the Emperor. The Emperor and the ladies would definitely not let this get out, so it can only be you."
Lady Chen placed the teacup heavily on the table and pointed at the tip of her nose.
"Qing'er, you know, I didn't tell anyone. No, I have to go to the emperor to explain."
"Master," Qing'er held her hand, "it doesn't matter whether you said it or not. If you exposed this matter yesterday, it would be like slapping the emperor in the face. This punishment is already light."
Lady Chen was filled with regret. She thought it was a pie falling from the sky, but it turned out to be a cake covered in cow dung.
…
The emperor left Concubine Chen and returned to the imperial study with his entourage.
Sitting down at the long desk, he glanced at the memorials on it, took the tea handed to him by Eunuch Cao, took a sip, and handed the tea to Eunuch Cao.
"Go and warn the palace servants who are gossiping outside."
Eunuch Cao took out a letter and presented it to the emperor before leaving.
[This is a letter from my uncle and General Yao, right? Let me see what it says.]
The emperor raised his hand and rubbed the little guy's raised head, and deliberately said: "Do you understand?"
[You look down on me, don't you? Who are you looking down on?]
When the letter was opened, it was written by Jin Ting'an.
My uncle's handwriting is just as beautiful as everyone else's. When I grow up, I must learn calligraphy from him.
emperor:"……"
Why don't you say you learned from him? Is his writing better than Jin Ting'an's?
[The tyrant's handwriting is beautiful, and so is my third brother, the crown prince. I'm so confused. Who should I learn from?]
[Mother and Li Yunhe's are also good-looking.]
The emperor raised the corner of his mouth when he was called, but when he heard what happened next, his mouth was straightened again.
"When Luo'er grows up, father will teach you how to write, okay?"
[Forget it, forget it. I'm going to let Li Yunhe teach me from now on. My brothers, my mother, and my uncle love me. If they don't want me to suffer, I'm sure I won't be able to practice well.]
[The Tyrant's teaching is also good. I can learn from both of them. It's also good.]
[Hehe, I think I'm thinking a little too far ahead. Let me read the letter.]
After reading the contents of the letter, Yu Yiluo finally understood why the King of Yueqing was so poor even though he had a mine.
[So it's a gold mine. After mining, it still has to go through a series of refining processes. No wonder the King of Yueqing is so stingy. Refining it requires a lot of tools, time, and manpower.]
The emperor put away the letter, and Eunuch Cao, who had gone to deal with the matters he had entrusted to him, had already returned.
"Your Majesty, everything has been done."
[Now that everything is settled, shouldn't we go to Concubine Shu?]
Just as Yu Yiluo finished her thoughts, she heard the emperor say, "Go to Heyuan Palace."
…
The emperor rode on a dragon chariot and stopped at the gate of Concubine Shu's Heyuan Palace.
Normally he would walk to a palace that was not too far away, but Concubine Shu's place was far away, and he didn't want Yu Yiluo to get tanned, so he chose to ride the dragon chariot.
Otherwise, the little guy would probably mutter in his heart that he had become a piece of charcoal.
"The Emperor has arrived."
The emperor got off the dragon chariot and stepped into the Heyuan Palace.
Concubine Shu was leaning on the chaise longue. When she heard the message, she stood up with the help of Lu'er.
"How did the Emperor find time to come here?"
The emperor smiled and sat down, his face showing guilt.
"I'm sure you've heard what's going on outside, Auntie. I had good intentions, but I didn't expect Concubine Chen to mess things up."
