Suddenly she thought of taking a concubine, and looking at the person in front of her, an idea slowly emerged in her mind.
She felt that this was an opportunity to let Chen Yalan and Fu Liu leave the palace under the pretext of sightseeing, but in fact she wanted them to gather information for her.
"There are so many people and so many things to do in the harem, and your health is not good. You need to relax yourself, which will be beneficial to your physical and mental health and make you get better quickly. I think it would be better for you to go out of the palace and have some fun, maybe your health will get better!" After thinking it through, Su Mengyan said.
Fu Liu was shocked. She didn't expect Su Mengyan to come up with this idea. Although she also wanted to go out of the palace to have a look, she still felt a little unsafe if she went out alone.
Su Mengyan saw her thoughts and smiled slightly, saying, "Of course, I'll ask Chen to agree to go out with you. I won't feel at ease without someone to accompany you."
At this point, a hint of surprise instantly appeared on Fu Liu's face. She didn't expect that Su Mengyan would actually consider this for her. Not only did she let her leave the palace, but she also let Chen Yalan accompany her. This was simply a perfect opportunity.
"Thank you, Your Majesty, for your consideration." Fu Liu thanked Su Mengyan excitedly, while holding Chen Yalan's hand.
However, Chen Yalan also had a smile on her face, but the look she gave Su Mengyan was full of deep meaning.
Patting Fu Liu's hand, Chen Yalan said, "Since you have the Queen's permission, why don't you go back and pack your things quickly? I still have something to say to the Queen. I'll come find you after I finish."
Fu Liu was so overwhelmed with joy at this moment. All she could think about was that she could finally go out for fun with Chen Yalan. So when she heard Chen Yalan say this, she didn't feel any special emotions. Instead, she nodded and said, "Yes, I'll go back and pack my things."
After she finished speaking, she turned around and was about to leave, but was pulled back by the palace maid beside her. Only then did she react and turned back awkwardly to bow to Su Mengyan: "Your Highness, I thank you. I will go back to the palace to pack my things and take my leave."
After Fu Liu left, Chen Yalan immediately stepped forward to apologize: "Please forgive me, Your Majesty. I was just a little happy to hear the news and broke the rules for a moment."
"It's okay. It's understandable for her to do so. I can understand." Su Mengyan said with a smile. She didn't expect that just by asking Fu Liu and Chen Yalan to go out of the palace for a trip, Fu Liu would be so happy. This shows how tired many people in the harem are of the boring life in the harem.
It is said that although the harem is the most prosperous place in the world, it is also a place full of intrigue.
Su Mengyan had already noticed how boring the harem was, but after she had her own son, she no longer cared about these things. She just wanted to take good care of her child, so she didn't have any special feelings.
Seeing Fu Liu's excited look at this time, she realized how attractive it was for these concubines to be able to leave the palace.
Su Mengyan naturally could not blame these women who were feeling depressed. On the contrary, she felt a little sorry for them.
Seeing that Su Mengyan was not angry, Chen Yalan did not continue the topic and instead said, "Your Majesty allowed me to go out of the palace with Fu Liu, but was it to investigate the minister's excessive concubine-taking?"
This was the idea she had when Su Mengyan asked them to go out for fun. She had just heard Su Mengyan say that the ministers were taking concubines without restraint and asked her to stay out of the limelight, and then asked her to go out for fun. This made her have to associate the two things together.
Sure enough, as soon as she finished speaking, a knowing smile appeared on Su Mengyan's lips. "Chen Da Ying is indeed worthy of being a general. His sharpness is really quite good. I do have this idea in mind, but if you can't find out the information, it doesn't matter. Anyway, I really want Fu Liu to leave the palace and relax."
Hearing this, Chen Yalan smiled gratefully: "Yes, I would like to thank you on behalf of Fu Liu. Don't worry, I will do my best to find out about taking a concubine."
This matter was finalized after the two of them talked back and forth.
After Chen Yalan returned to the palace and packed up some things, she came to the palace gate. Fu Liu had already packed up his things impatiently and came to the palace gate to wait.
Seeing Chen Yalan appear, she smiled and waved to Chen Yalan: "Here, come quickly."
Because the two of them had Su Mengyan's order, the royal guards guarding the palace gate did not dare to stop them, so the two of them got on a carriage nearby and slowly left.
In the carriage, Chen Yalan took off her clothes and took out a set of men's clothes from her bag and put them on.
"Sister Chen, what are you doing?" Looking at Chen Yalan's actions, Fu Liu felt puzzled, so she asked.
Chen Yalan had always been patient with Fu Liu. When she heard her ask this, she smiled indulgently and rubbed Fu Liu's head. "When two weak women like you and I go out, it's inevitable that someone will have ideas about us. After I put on men's clothes and go out, you and I will be husband and wife, and no one will have any inappropriate thoughts about us."
Oh, Fu Liu blushed. Chen Yalan was indeed smart. She hadn't even thought of this problem.
After changing her clothes, Chen Yalan repeated to Fu Liu what Su Mengyan had said to her.
Sighing, Chen Yalan said, "These ministers, relying on their own power and influence, don't treat these women as human beings. They keep taking concubines. I don't know if their bodies can handle it."
Speaking of this, Chen Yalan's tone was full of disgust. Although she was from this dynasty and was accustomed to men having three wives and four concubines, she still felt unfair about this matter.
Apart from anything else, her family only had her mother as the legal wife, and no other women. So since childhood, she had been accustomed to her parents' monogamy. When she learned that other men in the world had three wives and four concubines, she once said: Such men are shameful.
Influenced by her parents, Chen Yalan has always wanted to stay with her beloved for the rest of her life after she grows up, and to be together forever. Unfortunately, because of her father, she had to enter the palace as a concubine.
However, thinking of this, Chen Yalan turned her head to look at Fu Liu beside her, feeling a little relieved that she met this woman again after entering the palace.
At this time, Fu Liu didn't know what Chen Yalan was thinking. She was still thinking about what Chen Yalan had just said to her.
