Chapter 280 Wei Yanwan 20
"As expected of our Concubine Mei, she is truly wealthy and powerful."
Wei Yanwan touched her belly and smiled at Concubine Mei, saying, "This child is worth having. From now on, all expenses will be paid to Concubine Mei."
"You're miscalculating by dividing the gold into two." Meipin pretended to spit at her, then asked worriedly, "I'm talking to you about serious matters. When the emperor returns to the palace in a few days, can your body withstand the fatigue of the journey?"
"Don't worry, the baby is already over four months old and looks stable. I've also sent someone to inquire, and there shouldn't be any problems."
"Never mind. Our carriages will be together anyway. If you feel unwell, just send someone to let me know."
The two chatted and laughed for a while, and seeing that it was getting late, Concubine Mei said goodbye and left.
Seven days later, Hongli returned to the Forbidden City with everyone in the harem.
When Wei Yanwan returned to the palace, she found out that Hongli had sent people to clean up Yongshou Palace in advance. She no longer had to squeeze with others in Zhongcui Palace and could directly become the master of a palace.
In this way, she naturally let go and found a way to transfer Chunchan and Lancui. Coincidentally, the chief eunuch of Yongshou Palace was still Wang Chan. In this way, she finally got the team from her previous life together.
In a blink of an eye, it was the second day of August. She had dinner early, and Chunchan whispered to her that it seemed that the imperial concubine was accompanying the emperor today.
Wei Yanwan naturally knew that the Emperor would prefer to be alone to reminisce about him and Ruyi. However, the Imperial Concubine, always self-willed and unresponsive, was unable to discern the Emperor's intentions. Today was the day she and Ruyi would enter the palace together, and Gao Xiyue naturally wanted to reminisce with the Emperor. However, she had no idea that on that same day, the Emperor had no thoughts of her.
"In that case, let's rest early today."
After putting down the book, Wei Yanwan was about to wash up when she saw Lan Cui leading Jinzhong in.
"Your servant greets Concubine Ling. The Emperor summons you to serve in the Yangxin Palace."
"Doesn't the Emperor have a concubine?"
"The Imperial Concubine has just returned to Xianfu Palace."
He wanted the imperial concubine to go back at this hour? And he wanted me to go through? This bastard emperor really knows how to cause trouble.
Wei Yanwan rolled her eyes silently in her heart, and after thinking about it, she let Chunlei hold the Luqi given to her by the emperor, and the master and servant hurried to the Yangxin Palace.
As soon as she entered, she saw the emperor immersed in painting something. Wei Yanwan walked forward lightly and bowed. Only then did Hongli notice her and waved, "Come here, come to my side."
Yanwan took two steps closer and saw that there were indeed several lifelike trumpet creepers on the drawing paper. She couldn't help but smile.
After all, she didn't know Ruyi, so how could she know that the flowers were painted for the one in the cold palace? In this case, she would naturally think that the emperor painted these flowers for herself who loved Lingxiao.
"Your Majesty, is this a painting for me?"
Wei Yanwan held her waist and took two cautious steps closer. Hongli lowered his head and met her expectant and delighted eyes. The emperor was about to shake his head, but he moved his mouth and said, "Do you like it?"
"I like it!" She seemed to realize that she was a little excited, so she pursed her lips and smiled a little embarrassedly, but still nodded firmly: "I like it very much."
Hongli added the final stroke and handed the drawing paper over: "Since you like it, I will give it to you."
"Thank you, Your Majesty." Wei Yanwan held the painting to her heart, like a child who had been given candy, and her smile softened Hongli's heart. "Are you so happy?"
Yan Wan didn't say anything, but just leaned gently in Hongli's arms, occasionally looking down at the trumpet creeper painting. After a long while, she smiled shyly and said, "Over the years, only the emperor remembered what I said, so I... lost my composure for a moment."
Perhaps because Wei Yanwan was pregnant at the time, Hongli turned his head to look at her in the candlelight, and felt that her whole body was glowing with a soft glow, but all of this was no match for her pair of eyes that were as bright as stars.
It was like a clear, sparkling lake that slowly submerged him, until Yan Wan's eyes turned red and she trembled as she called out to him, "Your Majesty..."
Hongli finally woke up from his dream.
"Yanwan, please play another song for me..."
After that night, Wei Yanwan found that although she was still favored, she was not as eye-catching as before.
A Ruo, Hai Lan, as well as Concubine Mei who was on good terms with her and Concubine Shu, who was newly introduced by the empress dowager, all became favored one after another. In particular, not long after, Hai Lan, who was a loyal supporter of Ruyi, also became pregnant. As a result, there were three pregnant women in the palace in an instant.
In terms of nobility, it must be Concubine Chun, and in terms of threat, it must be Hai Lan.
Wei Yanwan closed the door, and even if those harmful things were sent in, they could not hide them from her. Seeing that they could not do anything with her, those people naturally turned to Concubine Chun and Noble Lady Hai.
One day, Meipin was talking in her palace when Suyun, who was beside her, suddenly ran in and said, "My lady, Ye Xin, who is with Concubine Hai, sent Zezhi to come and ask for you. She said Concubine Hai is unwell, and her symptoms seem...similar to what you had experienced back then."
"What!"
The child was definitely Meipin's Achilles' heel. When she heard Suyun speak, she immediately stood up and ran out. Wei Yanwan knew that this was Hailan's plan. Although it would not harm Meipin, she still warned her, "Be careful, don't let someone with ulterior motives take advantage of you."
After all, even Ruyi and Hailan don’t know that the real culprit is Jin Yuyan who is hiding behind the scenes.
Meipin nodded randomly, and it was not known whether she had heard it or not. After a while, she walked away.
Chun Chan sighed as she helped Yan Wan stand up, "It seems Concubine Mei still hasn't gotten over that hurdle."
"I'm afraid she'll never make it in this life," Wei Yanwan sighed, then couldn't help but chuckle, "Oh, she's so loyal. As soon as the cold palace was in trouble, she was immediately caught in a dilemma. She's so afraid that if she's a step slower, her good master will suffer. She's truly a good dog."
"Master, are you talking about Noble Lady Hai?"
Chunlei made the bed, and Chunchan and she helped her sit down on either side.
Wei Yanwan's affairs were not hidden from the two people around her, so they both knew who had tampered with the matter when the news of their master's pregnancy was first announced.
As soon as I heard it, I knew who he was talking about.
"Who else but her?"
Chunlei also looked sarcastic. "She's clearly an empress, but she looks more like the personal maid of the cold palace than Concubine Shen. She was so pitiful and bullied by others back then, but now she's turned the tables and is even more unscrupulous in harming others."
"Let them do whatever they want; it's none of our business anyway."
Wei Yanwan smiled and said, "The more violent they are, the more comfortable we feel."
He lay down and fell asleep after closing his eyes. Chunchan and Chunlei looked at each other, smiled and quietly retreated.
In the Forbidden City, which was brightly lit and bustling all night, only Yongshou Palace was peaceful.
