Chapter 145 Visit
Outside the Yaoyue Palace, Concubine Rong stuffed a bag of silver into the hands of the guard.
"We don't want to see Xi Yunu, so we can just talk through this door. Please, Big Brother Guard, please be flexible."
Guard Wu hesitated with the silver in his hand. It was not that he was unwilling to do this favor, but the emperor had personally ordered that no one was allowed to approach the Yaoyue Palace and the safety of the master inside must be ensured.
Perhaps in the eyes of outsiders, Xi Yunu was imprisoned, but the emperor's order made him understand that he was actually protecting Xi Yunu.
"Are they the two sisters?"
Liu Yuetang's voice rang out from behind the door. Su Nanqing quickly stepped forward and looked at her through the crack in the door. "Sister, how are you? Are you okay?"
Rong Jieyu followed closely behind and heard Liu Yuetang say, "I'm fine. But why are you here?"
Su Nanqing said quickly, "I just ran into Concubine Rong, and I discussed coming with her to see you. Is there anything you need? We'll bring it to you."
Hearing that something was being delivered, Guard Wu became wary and quickly bowed, saying, "My two young ladies, please do not approach Yaoyue Palace. Please do not embarrass me."
Rong Jieyu frowned slightly. "The Emperor only said that no one is allowed to visit Xi Yunu. We just exchanged a few words through the door and didn't see her, so it doesn't count as a visit. I hope Guard Wu will be flexible."
Liu Yuetang was afraid that Concubine Rong had something important to tell her, so she also spoke loudly, "We will just say a few words and will not embarrass Guard Wu."
Seeing Liu Yuetang say this, Guard Wu relaxed his vigilance a little and nodded slightly: "Then the young ladies, hurry up."
Seeing that the guards had retreated several steps behind him, Su Nanqing hurriedly took out the gold melon seeds and silver coins from his sleeves and stuffed them one by one through the gap in the door.
She whispered, "The Emperor is furious right now and won't allow anyone to plead for my sister. I'll talk to him again when he calms down a bit."
Liu Yuetang was stunned when she saw the silver coins that Liu Zheng picked up.
This moment seemed to take her back to the winter day when she first entered the palace...
At that time, she was an unfavored and bullied imperial concubine, and Jiang Ruoxi withheld her allowance and charcoal.
It was the coldest time of winter and the whole house was freezing.
It was Su Nanqing who gave half of her only charcoal to herself.
After gaining favor, she was willing to help Su Nanqing not only because she had a similar background and situation to herself.
It was more out of her selfish motives. She hoped to help Su Nanqing get promoted so that she could divert some of the jealous gazes that the other concubines directed at her would be diverted to herself.
She had too many enemies and wished she had one or two concubines who could speak her mind.
And every time he got into trouble, she never thought of distancing herself from him, and always helped him in times of need.
Even though there are interests involved, she believes that there is also a hint of sincerity.
Liu Yuetang retracted her gaze and looked at the light-colored clothes through the crack in the door: "Sister is pregnant now, it's important to protect yourself, don't plead for me anymore."
Su Nanqing's eyes welled up with tears, "The Emperor doted on you so much before..."
As she spoke, she sighed softly, "I don't know what kind of magic potion Yan Jieyu fed the emperor to make him believe it so completely that he even cruelly confined you here..."
Rong Jieyu stroked her belly with her bare hands, and said with a hint of sarcasm in her eyes, "She won't have a good ending either."
After saying that, she moved her face closer and whispered to Liu Yuetang, "Don't worry, she's going to take action."
Su Cairen was puzzled when she heard this and didn't understand what he meant.
Liu Yuetang understood it very well.
This "she" is naturally the Jade Concubine.
Is it possible that Concubine Yu can no longer hold back and is about to take action?
Liu Yuetang curled her lips into a smile, then said in a gentle voice, "Thank you both sisters for your concern. It's not appropriate to stay here for long. Please return to the palace quickly. I will take good care of myself."
Su Nanqing was still worried and gave a few more instructions before leaving Yaoyue Palace with Concubine Rong, who looked worried.
Liu Zheng looked at the silver in her hand and said with a smile, "Ms. Su was so thoughtful that she actually sent the silver on behalf of the young lady."
"She should be sincere to you, my lord."
Liu Yuetang raised the corner of her mouth slightly: "Then cherish the sincerity of the moment."
Qinzheng Hall.
Xiao Heng sat at the table playing chess alone, the black and white chess pieces crisscrossing across the chessboard.
He stroked the white piece on his fingertips, and suddenly an image of a woman holding a chess piece and smiling sweetly appeared in his mind.
When I think about it carefully, it has been quite some time since I played chess with her.
At this time, Zhou Defu walked in carrying a cage.
"Your Majesty, the Kingdom of Chaoyang has sent us a cat. What do you think we should do with it?"
As he spoke, Zhou Defu lifted the gauze, and a docile and smart cat came into view.
Its entire body is snow-white, except for its two ears, which have silver fur that is as smooth and soft as silk.
The cat seemed to know that the master in front of it was extremely noble. Its clear and bright eyes blinked slightly, and it raised its head and called softly.
The long meow was enough to melt people's hearts. Zhou Defu smiled happily and said, "I have never seen such a beautiful cat. Look at its fur, it seems to be glowing."
Xiao Heng lowered his eyes and looked at it, then nodded after a moment: "Yes, it is true."
"I must find a master for her."
Zhou Defu was just wondering which lady Xiao Heng would give it to when he heard him say, "Send it to Jinxiu Pavilion."
He thought that Miaomiao must be bored in Jinxiu Pavilion.
It would also be more fun to have this cat with her.
I think she likes it very much.
Zhou Defu quickly agreed: "Yes, I will send it over later."
Xiao Heng picked up a chess piece and thought of something: "What else did Chaoyang Country send?"
Zhou Defu bowed and replied, "He also gave me some silks and satins and a jade ruyi."
"Send the jade ruyi to Yaohua Palace, and pick a few more of the rest to send to Jinyuan Palace."
Because she was favored by Concubine Yan these days, Zhao Fei would always make sarcastic remarks whenever she went to Yaohua Palace.
He actually understood Concubine Zhao, but he no longer wanted to explain.
The only thing I could do was to send her some things from time to time to coax her.
*****
As spring turns to summer, it is the season when pomegranate flowers bloom.
Bright and passionate, like a raging fire, it illuminates the entire courtyard of the Jinyuan Hall.
"Look, my lady, the pomegranate flowers are blooming so beautifully."
Concubine Yan walked gracefully to the pomegranate tree, raised her eyes with a smile and said: "In this palace, everyone loves the elegance of peonies, the beauty of peonies, and the purity of plum blossoms, but I only prefer these pomegranate flowers."
She has loved pomegranate flowers since she was a child.
Because my mother once said that as a woman, you should let men fall at your feet.
The pomegranate tree is stunning when it blooms, and it can also bear fruit when the flowers fade, which means many children and good fortune.
So after she entered the palace, the emperor knew that she loved pomegranate flowers, so he transplanted two pomegranate trees in this courtyard.
Not long after, she received the good news that she was pregnant.
So she cherished the two pomegranate trees even more.
