Chapter 3 Concubine Yao Returns to

the Palace Inside Chengqian Palace, all the concubines had been waiting to congratulate her.

Some had been seen by Concubine Yao, while others had not.

After she got off the sedan chair, everyone came forward and knelt down, their voices were sharp and melodious, and the lingering sound lingered for a long time.

"Welcome Concubine Yao back to the palace."

In Nanny Chen's arms, Ying'an's face was wrinkled, and she looked extremely annoyed.

[What a sharp voice, doesn't the emperor feel annoyed by the noise? ] Concubine

Yao couldn't help but laugh and pretended to be calm.

She was as gentle as ever. She stepped forward, spread her hands, and spoke politely: "Sisters, please stand up quickly. I have lived in the cold palace for so long, and I rely on your care. It is autumn, and the days are cool. You sisters should be in the palace. Why did you come here specially? It's a disgrace to me."

The concubines stood up.

A woman in a goose yellow dress jumped forward, took Concubine Yao's arm affectionately, and smiled: "Sister, you are so beautiful, and you speak so nicely, just like a fairy."

Concubine Yao was not used to being intimate with others. Just when she wanted to pull her hand away casually, the eunuch's voice suddenly rang out.

"The emperor has arrived--"

The goose yellow woman quickly pulled her hand away, and the concubines in the palace knelt down.

"May the Emperor be blessed with good health."

Emperor Qingling stood in front of Concubine Yao, looking down at him, his cold eyes showing no joy.

No one dared to raise their heads, only Ying'an in Nanny Chen's arms blinked and looked at Emperor Qingling, her eyes were clear and bright, and

she was out of tune with the beautiful girls in the courtyard. Emperor Qingling also looked at her.

Ying'an fluttered her hands and smacked her lips.

[My scumbag father has so many concubines, I'm angry, my mother's deep love is wasted, it's really not worth it! ]

[Fortunately, this cheap father has a good face and is handsome, otherwise the concubines in the harem must be pure and unselfish, and they would hate not to be favored. ] Concubine

Yao's heart was alarmed.

Ancestor! Could you please stop thinking such outrageous words?

Fortunately, only she could hear it, otherwise Ying'an would have been drowned in the well!

The corners of Emperor Qingling's mouth twitched imperceptibly, and he seemed to be in a good mood. He looked away and looked down at Concubine Yao, and said in a deep voice: "Get up."

The concubines in the palace stood up.

Concubine Yao raised her eyes and happened to bump into his deep and complex eyes. For a moment, she was a little dazed.

Even if some bad things happened to the lover who was waited for with all his heart in youth, he still felt palpitations and yearning when he met again. That heart was almost unable to be guarded.

Emperor Qingling was about to speak, and Ying'an in Nanny Chen's arms burst into tears.

[Mother, don't be moved, he is a dead scumbag! 】

【A man who can't be with you for life is not worth your true love! Hold on! Don't waste your heart! 】

The baby's sharp cry was particularly abrupt and obvious in the quiet Chengqian Palace.

Concubine Yao put away her worries and didn't think about him anymore. Her

father was dismissed and she was sent to the cold palace. If she still can't keep her heart, she is afraid that she will repeat the same mistakes.

Nanny Chen knelt down and saluted: "Your Majesty, Concubine Yao, I guess the journey is too long and the princess is crying because she is upset. Please forgive me, Your Majesty and Concubine Yao."

Quan Qingye waved his hand and looked at Ying'an with a smile: "It's okay, send the princess to rest."

Nanny Chen nodded: "Yes, Your Majesty."

Nanny Chen looked at Concubine Yao meaningfully, and then took the princess to the side hall.

The goose-yellow woman stepped forward, knelt down and said: "Sister Yao is so lucky. She gave birth to a princess after living in the cold palace for a few months. Now she is so loved by the emperor. She is really a role model for her sisters."

She said this in a tactful and polite way, like the song of an oriole, with the lingering sound.

This kind of charm is really rare in the palace.

Emperor Qingling frowned and glanced at her with a reproachful look: "Mu'er, don't be rude."

Concubine Yao's eyes moved and stayed on Mu Guiren for a moment.

It turned out that this was Mu Guiren mentioned by Ying'an. She was really lovely, no wonder she was favored.

I'm afraid that the reason why she was granted the Chengqian Palace was not just because the He family had made contributions in advising the prime minister to commit treason, but it is very likely that the emperor really likes her.

It was just as Ying'an said, a dead scumbag!

Noble Mu knelt down and nodded: "Mu'er knows his fault."

Emperor Qingling moved his eyes away and fell on Concubine Yao. He put his hands behind his back and said lightly: "Concubine Yao, Nanny Chen just said that the journey was too long. Could it be that she was blaming me for sending you to the cold palace?"

Concubine Yao knelt down quickly, made a great salute, and kowtowed: "Your Majesty, please don't worry. Nanny just said that because she felt sorry for Ying'an. Ying'an was only born two days ago, and she has suffered so much. She is still in the cradle. It is common for her to have some discomfort. Please don't blame her, Your Majesty."

Emperor Qingling looked down at her and sighed softly.

He bent down and gently pulled up her hand, patted it gently: "I was just saying it casually, you just gave birth, you should be careful."

Concubine Yao knelt and raised her eyes, looked at him with extremely seductive eyes and said: "Thank you for your concern, Your Majesty."

Emperor Qingling pulled the corner of his mouth and patted her hand again, then let go, and said in a deep voice to all the concubines: "Concubine Yao just gave birth, you should all go back to your respective palaces, don't disturb her if you have nothing to do. Concubine Yao, please take a rest."

The concubines knelt down and nodded: "Yes, Your Majesty." Lady

Mu saw the opportunity and stepped forward and said: "Your Majesty, I have prepared the Dragon Well in the Rain that Your Majesty likes to drink in my palace. Would Your Majesty like to drink it?"

Emperor Qingling looked at her and smiled: "My beloved concubine has said so. If I don't go, won't your kindness be wasted?"

Lady Mu lowered her eyes, her cheeks slightly red, and she pursed her red lips and smiled slightly.

"Your Majesty, please don't make fun of me in front of the sisters."

Emperor Qingling laughed, grabbed her hand and pulled it into his arms, and hugged her into Lady Mu's palace in Chengqian Palace in front of the concubines.

Concubine Chun Jiang Chunyu stepped forward and said calmly: "Noble Mu has many means and is able to capture the emperor's heart. He is not like you and me. We have been with the emperor for many years, but have been abandoned by him."

Concubine Yao looked away at her, her eyebrows and eyes were indifferent, without a trace of extra emotion.

The family was in decline, and the most proud ones were the Jiang and He families. As soon as she returned to the palace, one or two of them came out to find fault with her. They were really disgusting.

She and Concubine Chun were enemies before, and now that she had just given birth, she really didn't want to get involved with her.

She said in a deep voice: "I am not feeling well and have no time to take care of you sisters. I will go back to rest first."

After that, she went into the palace by herself, leaving the concubines in the courtyard alone.

Concubine Chun was rejected, and she didn't say anything more. She snorted coldly, glanced at Concubine Yao, and left Chengqian Palace directly.

"Now the three factions of the Empress, Concubine Chun, and Concubine Yao in the palace are really incompatible. I think there will be no peace in the palace in the future."

"If you ask me, no one is as lucky as Sister Yao, who has a princess by her side. Seeing how much the emperor loves her just now, I'm afraid she will come to Chengqian Palace more often in the future."

"Mrs. Mu is still lucky. She moved into Chengqian Palace right after entering the palace. She got the auspicious event of Concubine Yao giving birth to a princess. She has a big man by her side. Will she still worry about having no way out in the future?"

The concubines left Chengqian Palace with a chatter.

In the main palace of Chengqian Palace, Concubine Yao sat on the couch with one hand on the table, staring at the direction of the side hall in a daze.

When Nanny Chen appeared holding Ying'an, Concubine Yao was still in a trance.

Nanny Chen said, "Your Majesty, why don't you ask the Emperor to move Concubine Mu out of Chengqian Palace, so that Your Majesty won't be upset when she sees her. Besides, seeing how much the Emperor loves Concubine Mu, I'm afraid she will come often in the future, and Your Majesty will be upset when she sees her."

Concubine Yao came back to her senses and looked at Ying'an.

"We just moved out of the cold palace, so it's not appropriate to cause trouble now. You can spread the word that I have caught a cold and can't go out for the next few days. Please don't disturb me, and if anyone comes, just help me turn them away."

"Yes, Your Majesty."

She had to think carefully about how to ask the Emperor to recall her father from the south.

Night fell.

The palace was peaceful.

Ying'an was having fun playing with Concubine Yao.

She slept a lot during the day, so she was naturally energetic at night.

The laughter and noise of a man and a woman playing chess next door were too loud, and Concubine Yao couldn't fall asleep. With her daughter by her side, she could still barely cope with the long night.

"Sister Yao?"

"I want to see how good your chess skills are, so the emperor asked you to go to the side hall to play chess with me. Sister Yao, are you asleep?"
