Inside Rouyun Palace
Zong Zheng Xiaoting and Concubine Rou Gui watched the Chief Eunuch leave, each with their own expression.
Concubine Rou frowned tightly, how could this be!
The tightly clenched fists reveal the inner unhappiness.
Concubine Li was later promoted to Concubine Lixian. What virtue and ability did she have to deserve the word "xian"?
In contrast to Concubine Rougui's reluctance and indignation, Zongzheng Xiaoting was laughing heartily. Concubine Xian? Today's events and what just happened at the dinner table really struck a chord with Zongzheng Weimo.
As the king of a country, he is not a fool most of the time. In order to maintain the harem, he turns a blind eye most of the time. However, it is also possible that there are some things that he cannot focus on!
However, at least one thing is certain.
That is what the emperor does not know. Once he notices any clues, then, as a wise ruler, he will surely understand it immediately.
Human emotions have not necessarily changed much from ancient times to the present. As long as one is a human being, he or she has seven emotions and six desires.
No matter how philandering a playboy is, he will eventually settle down when he meets true love. As the only woman that Zong Zheng Weimo has been sincere to, since he already has Concubine Rougui, then this substitute, Concubine Li, is just a substitute. It is absolutely impossible for Zong Zheng Xiaoting to believe that the emperor's intention is to comfort and show love.
Zong Zheng Xiaoting looked at Concubine Rou Gui's unhappy face and chuckled, "Mother, what are you angry about?"
The low laughter made Concubine Rougui frown in confusion, "Ting'er, you can still laugh? How can I not be angry? You should know that this decree is to promote Concubine Li's position!"
"The higher you stand, the harder you fall. Isn't that right, mother?" Zong Zheng Xiaoting did not respond to Concubine Rou Guifei's words. He just smiled and looked at her with a double meaning.
Seeing her daughter's face full of anticipation and the smile on her face, Concubine Rougui's anger slowly dissipated.
"Ting'er, did you do something?" Only if you know what's going on in your mind, can you remain calm and happy in the face of such bad news.
Zong Zheng Xiaoting's eyelashes moved, and after fluttering a few times, he looked up at Concubine Rou Gui, a sweet smile hung on his fair face, which was very similar to Concubine Rou Gui, but with a little more cunning: "My son did nothing? Let me think about it..."
Zongzheng Xiaoting held his chin and pursed his lips. "If I really want to say what I did today, well... it was outside Rouyun Palace. After Fu Jieyu said that I didn't know that Concubine Li was sick, I felt guilty and worried that Concubine Li was angry because of the bracelet. I cried and made a fuss for a long time because of this worry, and my father saw it."
When Concubine Rou Gui heard this, the corners of her mouth curled up.
"Well, if there is anything else, it is when Mother went to make side dishes for me and my father, I borrowed some money from him." Zong Zheng Xiaoting said seriously, "Mother, I didn't make any of these for any purpose, did I?"
"Borrow money?" Concubine Rou Gui frowned slightly. Borrowing money from the emperor was too unbelievable. Her eyes narrowed slightly, and interest slowly flashed across them. "Ting'er, why are you borrowing money from your father?"
"Mother's birthday is coming soon, and I want to give you a big gift. But I can't afford it this month and I'm short of money, so I can only borrow from father. Mother, do you think there's anything wrong with me doing this?" Zong Zheng Xiaoting looked like a good baby, which made people think that she was really naive and simple.
Concubine Rou raised her eyebrows. Given the emperor's temperament...
When the emperor was leaving, he asked Qingqing a few questions, and it seemed that he was suspicious of something!
Concubine Rougui smiled and shook her head. Her Ting'er had really grown up. She was no longer the little girl who needed her to follow her around and protect her carefully.
With loving eyes, she looked at Zongzheng Xiaoting and gently patted the back of Zongzheng Xiaoting's hand, "Ting'er has really grown up."
"Mother, from today on, I will be the one protecting you and mother, okay?" Zong Zheng Xiaoting said sincerely as he held Concubine Rou Gui's hand. He thought to himself that at least he could find some peace for his aunt before he left.
The heartwarming words made Concubine Rou Gui's heart boil. Tears welled up in her eyes. She pursed her lips tightly and nodded.
That night, Zong Zheng Xiaoting listened to Concubine Rou Gui talking about many past events.
When the sky gradually darkened, Zong Zheng Xiaoting left Rouyun Palace.
As soon as I stepped into Cuiyun Palace, I saw a man wearing a dark green official uniform standing with his hands behind his back and his eyes slightly narrowed under the banyan tree in the front yard. Isn't this man the Imperial Doctor Chen?
Zong Zheng Xiaoting looked at Qingqing, only to see her shaking her head in confusion.
In the past few days, the mutual probing and guessing have been fruitless, and now is not the time for the daily routine of taking each other's pulse and greeting each other.
One never comes to visit a temple for no reason. It's not quite right for Imperial Doctor Chen to come to Cuiyun Palace at this time.
What on earth is he doing here so late at night?
