Mulan Yan entered the palace today, and according to custom, the emperor would stay overnight there.
She could only intercept the person.
Qiu Zhu had not heard of Mulan Yan's entry into the palace, so this was the first time she heard Qingyin take the initiative to invite the emperor. She was a little happy, "Yes, I will go right away."
She also figured it out. The Empress Dowager and the Emperor were already like this.
It would be better to take advantage of the fact that there is no one in the harem and ask the Queen Mother to show more favor.
It would be even better if this could win the emperor's heart. Given the emperor's ability, it shouldn't be difficult to have one less empress dowager and one more concubine in the palace.
But the closer she got to the imperial study, the more news she heard, and when she stood outside the door, her face had begun to turn pale.
She calmed herself down and asked Li Zhang.
Li Zhang glanced at her and said earnestly, "It's only a matter of time before someone enters the harem. Remember to comfort the Queen Mother later."
"Yes, I know." Qiu Zhu lowered her head.
Seeing that she understood, Li Zhang said, "Wait here for a moment. I'll go report back."
Qiu Zhu felt a little unsure.
I wonder if the Emperor will leave the newly promoted Imperial Concubine behind and go to the Empress Dowager's appointment today.
Nangong Yuan paused while annotating the memorial, "She knows?"
Li Zhang quickly explained, "The Queen Mother probably didn't know, it was just a coincidence."
But at this moment, everything that should be known and shouldn't be known should have been passed on to the Cining Palace.
Nangong Yuan knew it very well.
He rubbed his brows.
He also didn't expect that the heartless little guy would finally take the initiative to invite him out, but at this moment.
"Then, does the emperor want to go?" Li Zhang asked tentatively.
If he were to say, there was no one in the harem before.
Now, the emperor should treat everyone equally.
Moreover, with Princess Xiling entering the palace, he thought that the ministers would be ready to make moves again.
As expected.
The news that Princess Xiling had entered the palace and become a noble concubine had spread throughout the capital in less than half a day.
The Minister of Rites couldn't contain his joy. Yesterday he was still worried about how to get the emperor to agree.
Unexpectedly, in just one night, the person had already entered the palace.
He was just about to ask someone to prepare the carriage, but then he thought better of it.
He knew all the news, so I guess that person should know it too.
Now all we have to do is wait.
There were several other families who were as happy as the Minister of Rites, but what made them happy was that they had daughters who were still waiting to be married.
Princess Xiling set a precedent when she entered the palace.
I think the draft will be held soon.
Jingchuan, whose emotions were completely different from theirs, lost his aim and his arrow missed the target. "Are you sure you heard correctly? Princess Xiling really entered the palace? And was even given the title of Imperial Concubine."
"I definitely heard it right. The whole capital is talking about it now."
Jingchuan threw the bow to the ground and said, "The emperor didn't even have such plans yesterday. You can go and ask around. Forget it. Our emperor probably doesn't like people asking behind his back. I'll go to the palace and ask myself."
After saying this, he rode straight towards the palace without even changing his clothes.
Seeing Jingchuan's anxious look, Nangong Yuan chuckled and joked, "General Jing, did you receive the news so quickly?"
Jingchuan wasn't sure whether Nangong Yuan's words were a test.
He quickly clasped his fists and apologized, "Today, I was practicing archery at my residence when a servant suddenly came to report that this matter had spread throughout the capital. May I ask, Your Majesty, is this marriage proposal true?"
Nangong Yuan suddenly stood up, walked to the window, and asked a completely unrelated question, "How many years has General Jing been in the army?"
Jingchuan said respectfully: "Your Majesty, this year is just eighteen years old."
Cining Palace.
As night fell, silver charcoal was burned in the house in advance.
After Qingyin finished her bath, she put on a thin layer of soft gauze and sat in front of the dressing table.
She also carefully painted her face, which usually didn't wear makeup, making her already stunningly beautiful face even more enchanting.
Nangong Yuan slowly approached, and Qingyin looked at him in the bronze mirror, "Your Majesty, you are here."
Nangong Yuan walked over, turned the man around, and faced him, "Do you know that I shouldn't have come tonight?"
Qingyin smiled slowly, "Then it's not too late for Your Majesty to regret now." As she spoke, she kissed him.
Nangong Yuan pinned the person down on the dressing table. "Is this what the Queen Mother meant by 'it's not too late to regret'?"
Qingyin couldn't kiss him, so she pouted her red lips and said, "Your Majesty is really stingy."
"Am I stingy?" Nangong Yuan laughed out of anger.
He had no plans to go to Mulan Yan's place tonight.
Qingyin pursed her lips, "That's right, Your Majesty, just because you've accepted a new person, does that mean you're ignoring the old one?"
Nangong Yuan smiled, and the things on the dressing table were swept to the ground one by one.
Qingyin felt a little distressed, "Your Majesty, those were all newly found by me, and you swept them away and ruined them all."
"I'll compensate you."
The night deepens.
Qiu Zhu, who was guarding outside the door, turned his face slightly away, facing the night.
A cool breeze blew, taking away some of the heat on my face.
She looked at Li Zhang beside her, wanting to ask a few words about Princess Xiling, but she was afraid that it would reach the emperor's ears, thinking that the empress dowager had no tolerance for others.
That's all.
Let’s talk about it after we meet in person tomorrow.
At this time, in Yufu Palace.
"It's raining."
Yin Lian glanced at the window that was still open and moved over.
Mulan Yan suddenly said, "Don't turn it off."
Yin Lian had no choice but to withdraw her hand and stand behind Mulan Yan again.
After another half a quarter of an hour, the rain became heavier, and drops of rain hit the rain curtain, making a dripping sound.
"Princess, it's so late, the emperor probably won't come. I'll help you wash up." Yin Lian said worriedly.
