Chapter 102 Don’t Think About Him
A few days later, the weather was fine. Yun Wan received the news that Asui had made an exception and been accepted as Master Xu's closed disciple. She was so happy that she couldn't stop smiling.
Unfortunately, today is the day she leaves the palace and returns to Duke Lu's Mansion. Yun Wan does not plan to take Asui with her, so as to avoid scaring him if something happens.
Sitting in front of the dressing table, the palace maid was putting makeup and tying her hair for Yun.
Unlike her usual plain dress, Yun Wan put on makeup and lipstick today, her eyebrows were lightly drawn, and a flower ornament was pasted on the center of her eyebrows. She was wearing a flowery brocade skirt that perfectly set off her figure, making her look noble and elegant.
Looking at herself in the mirror with heavy makeup and gorgeous clothes, Yun Wan was slightly distracted.
It had been a long time since she had dressed up like this, maybe five? Six? She couldn't remember exactly, so now she felt a little uncomfortable.
Fuling behind him exclaimed: "The Queen is truly a national beauty, as beautiful as a fairy!"
The maid who was dressing her hair asked, "Your Majesty, we are still short of one hairpin. Which one would you like to wear?"
Yun Wan looked over and saw that the box was filled with all kinds of hairpins, made of gold and jade, which were extremely beautiful.
She reached out and picked out the hairpins one by one, until her eyes fell on the familiar white jade hairpin, and her fingers paused.
She just glanced at it and was about to look down when a big hand suddenly appeared and picked up the golden hairpin next to it and handed it to the palace maid.
"This is an excellent one, worthy of the lady."
Emperor Jingxuan appeared quietly, stood behind Yun Wan, and said in a firm tone.
The palace maid was undecided and looked at Yun Wan cautiously.
Yun Wan looked in the mirror and saw a jade butterfly hairpin inlaid with gemstones.
It is carefully made using top-level craftsmanship such as gold filigree, butterfly hammering, and inlaying. It has kingfisher feathers as leaves, rubies as petals, gold wire as pistil, and pearls as background. A jade butterfly is embedded in the pomegranate flower. The hairpin looks luxurious and has a beautiful meaning.
Yun Wan touched the overly complicated and gorgeous hairpin and remained silent for a moment.
Never mind, just be conspicuous.
She said to the maid, "Put it on."
As soon as she put on the hairpin, she instantly became more radiant. A flicker of satisfaction flashed in Emperor Jingxuan's eyes: "Madam is very beautiful, and she deserves to be dressed like this."
As for that white jade pear blossom hairpin, it makes people feel unlucky no matter whether they hear about it or see it.
He did not ask Yun Wan to put it away, so as to show his magnanimity as an emperor.
Knowing that he was being fussy again, Yun Wan asked helplessly, "Am I not beautiful on a normal day?"
She pouted and looked coquettish.
Emperor Jingxuan was stunned for a moment, then suddenly burst into laughter, clapping his hands: "Madam is naturally beautiful at all times and in all places!"
He leaned forward and stared at her face, his expression suddenly softening. "Let's forget about it today. Next time, I'll draw your eyebrows for you."
He also wants to enjoy the same fun that ordinary couples have with his wife.
Emperor Jingxuan's eyes gradually became deeper.
She always felt that there was something else behind his words, and Yun Wan couldn't help but think about it too deeply.
She glanced at his court robes and asked, "Your Majesty, won't you change your clothes?"
Emperor Jingxuan sighed softly, touched her cheek lightly and said, "I came here to tell you that I have something to do in the court today, so I can't accompany you out of the palace."
Yun Wan was stunned for a moment upon hearing this, then he visibly smiled: "It's not a big deal, Your Majesty should focus on government affairs first."
Seeing this, Emperor Jingxuan snorted coldly: "I see that Madam is very happy, the corners of her mouth are almost raised to the sky."
Yun Wan touched the corner of his mouth and said angrily, "How could that be?"
One glance at her charm made Emperor Jingxuan's heart flutter.
He pinched her cheek, then let go immediately, saying solemnly, "Come back soon, there's more."
"Don't think about him."
As for who he is, it goes without saying.
Yun Wan nodded randomly, "I understand."
When the time was almost up, she took a sedan chair from the Purple Palace to the palace gate to take a carriage.
In front of Anhua Gate, luxurious carriages and horses had been waiting for a long time, followed by several palace maids. This was clearly a high-standard ceremonial procession for a noble from the palace. There was no doubt that this was an order from Emperor Jingxuan.
Yun pulled the sedan chair, and Jiang Fusheng appeared with a smile: "Good health, Concubine Yun."
"Eunuch Jiang?"
Yun Wan looked at him in surprise.
Jiang Fusheng: "This slave deserves death. Did he scare the queen?"
Yun Wan shook her head. "But how could you...?"
Shouldn't he be following Emperor Jingxuan?
Jiang Fusheng: "This is your majesty's wish. I will escort you out of the palace on your behalf."
Yun Wan looked helpless: "Then I'll have to trouble Eunuch Jiang."
They boarded a luxurious carriage and left the palace.
On the city wall, watching the guard of honor go away, Emperor Jingxuan turned and headed towards the front court.
Jiaotai Hall.
The prelude was over. Emperor Jingxuan noticed someone among his ministers hesitating. He raised his eyebrows slightly, fixed his gaze on that person, and asked, "Does Censor Wang have something important to report?"
The gray-haired Wang Yushi took a deep breath and tremblingly stepped forward and bowed: "Your Majesty, it is correct."
"explain."
To stick one's head out is to be cut by a knife, to hide one's head is also to be cut by a knife. Censor Wang simply closed his eyes and recited the words he had memorized: "I heard that Your Majesty took the Lu family's wife, Yun, into the palace and named her Concubine Yun. I feel that this is inappropriate!"
Emperor Jingxuan remained calm and asked, "What's wrong?"
Wang Yushi: "Your Majesty, Yun is a wife of the Lu family, a widow, and has a son. How can she enter the palace as a concubine?"
After these words were spoken, many people nodded in agreement.
Emperor Jingxuan's eyes were cold and his tone was calm: "Why not?"
Wang Yushi: "She, she is the wife of one of your subjects. If the world knew that you stole my wife, it would damage your prestige!"
He seemed determined, but in fact he looked embarrassed.
In fact, he didn't want to get involved in the emperor's private affairs. After all, he would retire in a few months to enjoy his old age. Unexpectedly, an accident happened.
In the past two days, his colleagues have come to him one after another, asking him to advise His Majesty on the matter of conferring the title of princess, and he has no choice but to do it!
But the current emperor is not a weak person. How can one or two people shake his decision?
"My wife?"
Emperor Jingxuan curled his lips and sneered as if he had heard a joke: "Lu San didn't pass the imperial examination and enter the court as an official. How can Concubine Yun be considered my wife?"
"If my dragon power can be damaged so easily, it means someone has ill intentions and is deliberately spreading rumors about me and Concubine Yun among the people. Their intentions are sinister and they deserve to be killed."
As soon as the word "punish" was spoken, the hall fell silent.
Censor Wang gritted his teeth and continued to recite, "But, but before entering the palace, Concubine Yun was still a wife of the Lu family, and she had not severed her marital relationship with the third son of the Lu family!"
"oh?"
Emperor Jingxuan raised an eyebrow, looking puzzled. "I heard that Concubine Yun wrote a letter of dissolution after Lu San's death. Did you stay at the Lu family all these years just to raise the child? You couldn't bear to leave the child alone in the Lu family?"
"I remember that this happened. Minister Yun, Duke Lu, this is a matter between your two families. Could you please explain this to all the nobles?"
He spoke leisurely, looking at the two of them.
In an instant, everyone's eyes focused on Yun's father and Lu Yuanduo, curious about how they would answer.
