Xiao Quanzi gently reminded: "Today is the day when Concubine Jiang enters the palace. According to the rules, Concubine Jiang should be carried to the Palace of Heavenly Purity."
The Empress Dowager must have come here at this time because of Concubine Jiang.
After hearing Xiao Quanzi's words, Pei Lin felt annoyed.
In the past few days, the imperial concubine has been coming to the Qinzheng Palace to bother him every day, and now his mother has also gotten involved, which is really giving him a headache.
These days, apart from the beautiful figure in the cave that night, he has no interest in any other woman.
Now he just wanted to find the woman urgently.
"Please come in, mother," Pei Lin waved his hand.
The imperial concubine walked in, supporting the empress dowager.
The Empress Dowager frowned and walked straight to the desk where Pei Lin was reviewing memorials. She looked at Pei Lin with a stern expression.
Shenchen said: "Emperor, do you know that Concubine Jiang has entered the palace today?"
It has been more than six days since the emperor returned to the palace. During these six days, the emperor has never stayed in the harem once. His heart has been stolen by the woman in the portrait.
As the king of a country, this is a big taboo!
If the woman in the portrait was not there, the emperor would not have summoned Concubine Jiang tonight, and the situation would have been slow. However, in the past few days, the emperor was like a madman, obsessed with searching for the woman in the portrait.
This shows that the woman in the portrait is a disaster!
Pei Lin stood up and signaled the palace servants to move the chair in front of the Empress Dowager.
He nodded and said, "I just found out. I was reviewing memorials until late at night and I am very tired."
He didn't want to summon Concubine Jiang.
"Your Majesty, although state affairs are of great importance, what the host said is also very important," the imperial concubine said sincerely.
Anyone who can draw His Majesty's attention away from the woman in the portrait will be fine!
At this time, the imperial concubine had already realized the seriousness of the matter, so she ran to the Cining Palace and instigated the empress dowager to come.
Your Majesty is so concerned even though the woman has not been found. If she is really found in the future and brought into the palace, Your Majesty will probably give her away even the highest position.
When she thought of this, the imperial concubine felt sour and bitter in her heart!
The Empress Dowager sat down on the chair and agreed: "Your Majesty is right. Your Majesty has not been to the harem for several days. Now is the perfect time to summon Concubine Jiang."
Pei Lin could refuse the imperial concubine, but he could not refuse his own mother.
In this world, there is no one who cares about him more than his mother. He really shouldn't be like this...
Pei Lin nodded: "Mother, what you said is absolutely right."
The Empress Dowager's slightly cloudy eyes lit up, and she said to Xiao Quanzi beside her: "Go and carry Concubine Jiang to the Palace of Heavenly Purity."
Xiao Quanzi smiled and retreated.
Pei Lin suddenly felt a little irritated.
He ordered the Empress Dowager and the Imperial Concubine to leave: "It's getting late and the dew is heavy. Mother, please return to the Cining Palace and rest."
The Empress Dowager knew her son's temper very well. She stood up, gave him a few instructions, and then pulled the imperial concubine out of the Qinzheng Palace.
*****
Jiang Zhili soon received a letter asking him to go to the Palace of Heavenly Purity.
Xiaotao almost jumped up.
"My dear, I thought tonight... was truly blessed by God and the Bodhisattva!"
Jiang Zhili smiled lazily and said nothing more.
It was already dark outside. If she was summoned to the bedchamber early in the morning, the news would have come long ago, instead of waiting until now.
Obviously, this was a decision Pei Lin made on the spur of the moment. Why?
Jiang Zhili guessed that it must be related to the Empress Dowager.
But she didn't care about these things at all. As long as Pei Lin saw her face, everything would be settled smoothly...
Jiang Zhili was carried to the Qianqing Palace.
As the emperor's bedroom, the Palace of Heavenly Purity is not only grand in scale, but also located in the very center of the entire harem.
As soon as she entered the bedroom, Jiang Zhili felt very cool, which was much more comfortable than her small and remote Xunyu Palace.
There are many ice basins placed throughout the hall.
"Please take a rest for a while. His Majesty is still reviewing memorials. It should be over soon," Xiao Quanzi lowered his head and instructed Jiang Zhili who was lying on the bed behind the bright yellow curtain.
He was extremely shocked at this moment. He didn't expect that the eldest daughter of the Jiang family was the woman in the portrait!
As Pei Lin's personal eunuch, Xiao Quanzi had naturally seen the portrait.
Jiang Zhili was wrapped up like a silkworm. She couldn't help but roll her eyes: "Thank you, eunuch."
How can she rest when she is wrapped up like this?
Xiao Quanzi retreated and hurried back to the Qinzheng Hall.
Inside the Qinzheng Hall.
Look at the emperor who is reviewing memorials seriously.
Xiao Quanzi couldn't help but remind the other party several times that Concubine Jiang was the person His Majesty was looking for.
However, His Majesty sat upright, and his expression was very serious as he corrected the memorials.
It would be ok for him to talk about it after His Majesty has reviewed the memorial...
After all, state affairs are of utmost importance, and Concubine Jiang is in the Qianqing Palace and will not run away.
Pei Lin leaned over the desk, reviewing many memorials until after three o'clock in the morning, then he stood up and walked towards the Qianqing Palace.
Xiao Quanzi trotted after Pei Lin. He looked at Pei Lin's cold and hard back and said, "Your Majesty, Your Majesty..."
Pei Lin kept walking: "What's the matter?"
Xiao Quanzi held up a lantern and said, "Your Majesty, that Concubine Jiang, that Concubine Jiang's appearance..."
"I know that Concubine Jiang is plain-looking," Pei Lin said with a cold expression, continuing Xiao Quanzi's words.
To be precise, it was the concubine's daughter of the Jiang family who was plain-looking.
The Embroidered Uniform Guard has discovered that the Jiang family sent a concubine's daughter to replace someone in the palace.
If the Jiang family dares to do such a thing, he will settle accounts with them one by one...
Xiao Quanzi: “…”
As they were talking, Pei Lin and Xiao Quanzi had already arrived at the Palace of Heavenly Purity.
