Chapter 119 Harem Open Day

Meanwhile, at Qingyun Palace, not long after Madam Yuan left, Duan Yunyi, the daughter-in-law of Marquis Guangqin, also arrived.

Concubine Chen Guifei knew that she would not be able to rest that day.

Then he went back to the side hall to receive guests.

Duan Yunyi had never thought that Concubine Chen would actually ask for an imperial decree for her. She read the imperial edict over and over again at home, and couldn't help but say to her husband: "Concubine Chen actually asked for an imperial decree for me. Now I have an imperial decree."

Guan Langshi saw that she was happy, and he was also excited for her in his heart: "My wife is gentle and virtuous, and she deserves this imperial decree."

Duan Yunyi couldn't help but curl her lips when she heard that. For some reason, ever since she met Concubine Chen, she felt that the four words "gentle and virtuous" didn't sound like a compliment. People like Concubine Chen, who were not obsessed with the bright moon and beautiful scenery, were the role models for women like them.

The look she gave Guan Langshi became even more unfriendly. She thought that Guan Langshi was more than worthy of her, but was still not enough for a person like Concubine Chen.

Guan Langshi was of course unaware of his wife's little thoughts, he was just focused on making her happy.

The first thing Duan Yunyi did after entering Qingyun Palace was to kneel on the ground and perform a kneeling ceremony.

As it was the rule, Concubine Chen did not stop her and just let her complete the ceremony.

"Your Highness," Duan Yunyi finished her greetings and hurried forward to speak, "Your Highness, why are you asking for an imperial decree for me? I really feel ashamed and unworthy of it."

Concubine Chen ordered Jinxin to bring a stool for Duan Yunyi, and then continued, "Why are you unworthy of this position? To be honest, your family is truly the benefactor of the royal family."

Duan Yunyi heard that the words were indeed serious, and hurriedly stood up, but then felt that it was not in accordance with the rules and sat back down: "Your Majesty, your words are really serious!"

"First, you provided the golden medicine for the Second Prince, and then your mother cured Concubine Lan's illness. This time, your mother accidentally saved Prince Pei. I really don't know how to thank your mother."

"After thinking about it, I realized that being a mother is all about the sake of your children, so I thought of asking for an imperial decree for you. This will definitely make your mother happier than rewarding her with something."

Duan Yunyi naturally didn't know that her mother had saved Master Pei, so she asked hurriedly, "My mother actually saved Master Pei? When did it happen?"

When Concubine Chen saw this, she realized that Madam Wu had not told her daughter about this, and she admired her even more.

This matter involves the royal family, so the fewer people who know about it, the better. She did not tell her daughter in order to protect the royal family's reputation, and more importantly, to protect her own daughter.

Thinking of this, Concubine Chen couldn't help but laugh: "I guess Madam Wu thought it would be better if you didn't know about this, so she didn't tell you."

Seeing Concubine Chen say this, Duan Yunyi did not ask any more questions.

The two exchanged a few more words, and Jinyu came in from outside: "Madam, the two young ladies from the Shen family are here."

Lu Xingwan, who was standing by, couldn't help but mutter when he heard this.

[Today is, what is it called in the storybook? Oh, yes, "Harem Open Day".]

[This day is considered as the palace gates being opened, and people from outside are coming in to visit. It is not in vain that I have read these scripts. I have learned well. My master will be proud of me! ]

[Today is truly the harem open day. Everyone has come to visit. I don’t know if others are tired, but I think my mother is definitely tired.]

[With my mother's restless temper, I'm afraid she is just forcing herself to hold it in. ]

Concubine Chen Guifei couldn't help but smile bitterly when she heard Lu Xingwan's words. Was she such an unstable person in her daughter's eyes?

My dear daughter, you should tease your father more often in the future. He can't hear it anyway. Just forget about your mother. Please let her go!

Duan Yunyi was about to stand up and leave, but Concubine Chen held her back: "Do you have something to do?"

"No!" Duan Yunyi just shook her head when she heard Concubine Chen Guifei ask this. She didn't know what Concubine Chen Guifei meant, so she just answered truthfully.

Concubine Chen waved her hand and asked her to sit down: "Then sit for a while. I love to listen to these young ladies talking about the gossip around them. You should listen with me today."

[Mother’s next words must have been: “You are blessed today”, but she didn’t have the nerve to say it! ]

However, Concubine Chen Gui did not care about Lu Xingwan's teasing. This little girl also loves gossip and she has the nerve to talk about herself. You have obviously heard a lot of gossip from your mother!

After a while, Shen Baoyan and her sister came in, brought in by Jinyu.

Naturally, a great ceremony was also performed.

"I heard that the Royal Concubine was ill a few days ago. Is she better now?" Shen Baoyan has always been concerned about the health of Royal Concubine Chen. Although she sees that the Royal Concubine is in good condition now, she can't help but ask.

Duan Yunyi, who was standing by, was hearing about this for the first time and quickly interrupted to ask, "The Queen is actually ill? What is the illness? How is she now?"

Seeing that they cared about her, Concubine Chen couldn't help but feel a little proud. She thought she was still quite popular.

But his answer was much more formal: "Don't worry, I am now fully recovered."

Without waiting for Shen Baoyan to speak, he asked, "Tell me what happened at your coming-of-age party that day."

These words made Shen Baoyan stunned. She came here to thank the noble concubine for the gift, but she hasn't expressed her gratitude yet.

As if she understood her concerns, Concubine Chen waved her hand and said, "Don't thank me. Just talk to me first and that will be my thanks."

Shen Baoyan couldn't help but smile, but her eyes involuntarily drifted towards Duan Yunyi.

"Don't worry, she's a tight-lipped person."

Although Duan Yunyi didn't know what the two were talking about, since Concubine Chen didn't send her away, she thought it wasn't a secret, so she raised her hand and said, "I swear, I won't tell."

Only then did Shen Baoyan feel relieved and told the whole story in detail about what happened that day.

After hearing this, Concubine Chen couldn't help but laugh: "The little girl nowadays is really amazing. This move of turning the tables must have really scared Lin Yin!"

Shen Baoshuang at the side could not help but smile and said, "That's natural. Lin Yin was shocked on the spot, especially after the young master of the Han family glared at her. She looked as if she had lost all hope. But no matter how she explained, no one believed her. Now she must be hating my sister!"

Concubine Chen Gui looked at Duan Yunyi who was standing beside her and said, "Look, this is a method. Sometimes it is necessary to use some methods."

Duan Yunyi couldn't help but laugh and said, "Miss Shen's plan is really brilliant."

Concubine Chen Gui then turned to ask Shen Baoyan: "Now that you have reached the age of marriage, can the young master of the Han family come to propose marriage to you?"

Shen Baoyan shook her head, her face flushed, "Not yet, but Madam Han has come to my house to explain to my mother, and will come to propose marriage after the Queen Mother's birthday banquet."
