Chapter 110: Weird
Qiyun Palace.
It was originally named Yongfu Palace. The last owner who lived here was the concubine of the previous emperor. After the previous emperor passed away, she was named the Queen Mother. After Emperor Jingxuan ascended the throne, she took the initiative to move out of the palace and live with her daughter.
After careful renovation, the palace now looks very different, with glazed black tiles, carved beams and painted buildings, exuding luxury and exquisiteness everywhere.
The eaves in front of the main hall are filled with flower pots, and the flowers are blooming in clusters, which is very beautiful, not inferior to the imperial garden. The east side hall is prepared for Asui, so that he can have a place to stay when he comes to look for Yun Wan.
The west side hall was converted into an incense room, and the floor was equipped with underfloor heating like the main hall. Yun Wan would not feel cold when staying in the room to make incense in the cold winter, and the spices could be kept dry and free from moisture.
In addition, there are small gardens next to the main gate and the back gate. A pomegranate tree was transplanted from elsewhere in the front yard, and a shed was set up in the back yard for drying spices.
.......
The layout of Qiyun Palace is in line with Yunwan's thoughts, and one can tell at a glance that it was designed with great care.
As for why the inner court was so concerned, it was naturally because of the order from Emperor Jingxuan.
Yue Jian walked around for a while, and when she came back, she said to Yun Wan with admiration: "My lady, this place is really spacious!"
It is comparable to ten Cuiweiyuans, and it is a pleasure to look at.
Yueya thought so too. She knew that there was more than one concubine living in other palaces, and it would be very easy for people with different personalities to develop rifts and conflicts. Fortunately, her master didn't need that.
After a few days of training at the Master of Ceremonies' Office, Yueya and Yuejian have become qualified palace maids and can accompany Yunwan.
Yun Wan was also satisfied. She spent half an hour wandering around Qiyun Palace before returning to the main hall.
As soon as they sat down, Fuling led Asui in.
"Mother! I miss you so much."
As soon as he saw Yun Wan, he couldn't wait to throw himself into her arms and hug her and act coquettishly.
Yun Wan lowered her head and kissed his chubby cheek, saying gently, "Mother too."
"They say a day apart feels like three autumns, and we've been apart for many autumns."
Asui muttered and counted on his fingers. The last time he saw A Niang was the time before, and it had been many days.
Yun Wan couldn't help laughing, and when she touched his hand, she couldn't help but frown: "Why are your hands so cold? Are you cold?"
Ah Sui shook his head. "It's windy outside, and my hands are cold, but I'm not cold myself."
The weather was cool in autumn, and he wore a thick coat. His hands were exposed so they got caught in the wind, but his face was rosy and he looked full of energy.
He looked up, his expression filled with confusion as he asked, "Mother, will you be the Empress of the Palace from now on?"
He already knew on the way here that A'niang had become Concubine Yun in the palace in the blink of an eye.
Yun Wan tapped his nose and said without hiding anything: "Yes."
Ah Sui muttered: "So His Majesty really wants to be my father..."
He spoke in a low, unclear voice and quickly. Yun Wan was puzzled: "What did Guaibao say?"
Ah Sui shook his head, grabbed her sleeve, and said in a sullen tone, "Can I still call you Ah Niang from now on? Or should I call you Niang Niang like everyone else?"
Knowing that his little mind was wandering, Yun Wan hugged him, kissed his forehead and said, "Silly boy, you are my mother's child, so of course I call you my mother. In my heart, you are Asui's mother first, and then Concubine Yun."
She whispered in Asui's ear, "In A-niang's heart, the most important person is our Asui."
Yunwan hopes that this will give her children more confidence and a sense of security.
Ah Sui blinked, his eyes shining. He also imitated Yun Wan's way and whispered in her ear: "Then, mother, will you come back in the future?"
Where to go back to? Naturally, it refers to the Lu family.
Yun Wan didn't want to lie to him and told him the truth: "Mother probably won't go back. That place...is not her home anymore."
Ah Sui puffed out his cheeks and made up his mind: "Then I will accompany A Niang. Wherever A Niang goes, I will go!"
Although he was reluctant to leave his uncle, cousin Changning, and cousin Changze... they all had their own relatives, while A'niang only had him as a relative.
Yun Wan held his chubby little hand, wrapped it in her palm, and said okay.
Ah Sui chuckled, took off his shoes, climbed onto the square couch, and sat next to Yun Wan. "Mother, I'm going to pay my respects to my teacher in two days. Will you be there?"
Yun Wan: "Mother wants to go, but she must ask His Majesty's permission first."
Ah Sui uttered an "ah," and swayed his short legs in the air before asking, "Does His Majesty still care about this? If he doesn't allow me to go, then I can't go at all?"
Yun Wan nodded: "Your Majesty can take care of all the affairs in the world."
Asui nodded, not quite understanding.
It turns out that when Your Majesty has such great power, he can control everything?
"Then I will go with my mother to see His Majesty and ask him to agree to my request."
Hearing this, Yun Wan paused for a moment, and said with embarrassment, "I'm afraid it won't work today. Mother and His Majesty..."
"Did you have a fight?"
Asui tilted his head, his face full of innocence and curiosity.
Yun Wan sighed: "...sort of."
"Okay."
Asui also sighed, but he was not discouraged and prepared to think of a solution himself.
Then she suddenly remembered an important matter, "Oh, mother, that day His Majesty wanted to throw away the handkerchief you embroidered and didn't let me tell you..."
He kept talking so much that Yun Wan felt embarrassed.
She finally realized that everything was fine, so how did she get exposed?
Asui had classes in the afternoon and had made an appointment with Pei Qian for lunch at noon. He couldn't go back on his word, so he only stayed in Qiyun Palace for an hour before leaving.
Yun Wan had an embroidery tent moved in, and she sat under a tree to do needlework.
Fuling asked softly, "Your Majesty, Eunuch Jiang has come to me many times. I want to know when you will go to look for His Majesty."
Yun Wan glanced at the unfinished clothes in her hands and said softly, "Wait a little longer."
Fuling was about to say something when a sarcastic voice came from the door:
"Hey, isn't this Concubine Yun?"
The master and servant looked over and saw Huipin, dressed in a goose yellow dress, come in on her own, talking non-stop:
"Today is the day when Concubine Yun celebrates her new house. Why is Qiyun Palace so deserted? I heard that His Majesty hasn't sent anyone to deliver any gifts."
She pretended to assess him, then gave Yun Wanying a false smile and bowed, "Is your Highness Yunfei unhappy that I have come uninvited?"
Yun Wan put down her needlework and asked, "What's the matter, Concubine Hui?"
Huipin touched her temples and said lazily, "I'm fine. I was just walking around and didn't expect to end up here. I saw the queen sitting here alone, so I came in out of curiosity."
No one stopped her, and as she spoke she sat down next to Yun Wan.
She glanced at Yun Wan's flawless profile and snorted, "So, that's why men are the most heartless people in this world. When they treat you well, they protect you in every way, but when they treat you badly, they just ignore you."
"As women, if we have no power and influence, we will only be betrayed. What good is it to have a beauty like a fairy? We still only see the new people and ignore the old ones - well."
Before she could finish her words, something sweet was stuffed into her mouth.
Huipin was stunned.
Yun Wan smiled faintly at her and said, "This malt candy tastes good. Huipin, please try it."
There was something in her mouth, and even if Huipin had a thousand words to say, they were stuck in her throat and she couldn't say them.
After she finished eating the malt candy, she forgot what she wanted to say and felt a little depressed for a while.
She didn't say anything, and Yun Wan ignored her, concentrating on eating the food brought by the palace servants.
Huipin glanced at him and said in an unhappy tone: "What did you eat?"
Yun Wan: "Snow Lotus is good for health and beauty."
When Concubine Hui heard that it could beautify and nourish the skin, her eyes lit up: "Give me a bowl too."
"I won't eat your food for free. I'll exchange it for the bracelet."
As she said this, she took off the jade bracelet on her hand and handed it to her.
Yun Wan wanted to refuse, but Jiang Fusheng's shrill voice reached Qiyun Palace:
"Your Majesty has arrived at Qiyun Palace—"
"All the outsiders, please disperse—"
Huipin:?
Any outsiders?
