Chapter 51: The Noblewoman
"Ms. Duan came to see me at the polo match earlier." Concubine Chen Guifei said.
When Duan Yunyi saw Concubine Chen mentioning what happened at the polo match that day, she felt uneasy. Could it be that Concubine Chen was going to blame her for what happened that day?
The next moment, Concubine Chen Gui spoke up: "To be honest, my lady, Guan Langshi and I did have some childhood friendship. Everyone in the capital knows about it. My lady will know it if you ask."
Duan Yunyi was even more shocked. She had heard from others that Concubine Chen Gui was an open-minded person, but could she be so open-minded?
"I don't know what Guan Langshi said to you, but now that we are both married, please don't worry, Madam Duan. I always look forward, and since I have chosen this path, I will never look back." After saying this, Concubine Chen Guifei looked at Duan Yunyi with determination.
Duan Yunyi was moved for a moment: "My Queen..."
"I summoned you to the palace today mainly to explain this matter to you, so that neither you nor I can have any rift because of these groundless rumors."
Seeing that Concubine Chen Gui was calm, Duan Yunyi stood up and said, "I was petty before and misunderstood the queen. It seems that what my mother-in-law said about the queen being the most open-minded person is true."
The two of them talked happily and got along very well.
Lu Xingwan on the side was in a mess.
[Is my mother such a straightforward person? My master once said that I was a straight-forward person. I think I am not as good as my mother! ]
[It seems that Madam Duan is very fond of this. It seems that sincerity really touches people's hearts the most! ]
"Sincerity can move people's hearts the most." Concubine Chen Guifei silently kept these words in her heart.
When Duan Yunyi left the palace, she saw Guan Langshi still waiting at the palace gate. Duan Yunyi had just had a very pleasant conversation with Concubine Chen Guifei, so she was naturally influenced by her emotions and became more open-minded.
When he saw Guan Lang in the car, he only said: "I think Concubine Chen Guifei is more tolerant than you."
After saying this, he said no more, leaving Guan Langshi alone to mess around.
What does this have to do with anything?
After saying this, Duan Yunyi secretly regretted it, hoping not to alarm her husband.
Not long after Duan Yunyi left, Jin Xin rushed in.
"Your Majesty, Concubine Fang has given birth." Jinxin said anxiously. Now that Your Majesty is in charge of the harem, if something goes wrong, it will be bad if His Majesty asks about it.
"Isn't Concubine Fang under house arrest in the palace? How could she have a miscarriage?" Concubine Chen was puzzled.
[Is she doing something strange again to attract the attention of the emperor? ]
[Last time, she deliberately framed my mother, wanting my father to blame her. Fortunately, my smart mother saw through her plan.]
"Who told you?" Concubine Chen Guifei asked puzzledly.
"After I sent Madam Duan away, I ran into Lady Yun on my way back. Lady Yun told the palace maid beside her..."
At this point, Jin Xin's speech suddenly slowed down: "Now that you mention it... it seems like the master and servant are deliberately saying this for me to hear."
While Concubine Chen was hesitating, she saw Jinyu coming in from outside: "Your Majesty, Concubine Wen is here?"
"Empress Wen?" Concubine Chen Gui was stunned for a moment. Concubine Wen had lived in her palace for a long time and almost never showed up. Counting on her fingers, the number of times she had met her was really very few.
[Wow, she is the Concubine Wen from the Dali Kingdom in the novel, the foreign princess who conquered the country and the city. Could she be prettier than my mother?]
[It seems that in the storybook, when the Great Chu Kingdom was in turmoil, Concubine Wen took the fourth prince back to the Great Li Kingdom, and the subsequent ending was not explained. ]
[Prince Rong was even tempted to force himself on Concubine Wen, but he was stabbed in the chest by the Fourth Prince. Before he could recover, he was beaten to death by his second brother.]
Listening to Lu Xingwan's mumbling, Concubine Chen couldn't help but think that bringing the Fourth Prince back to the country seemed like something Concubine Wen could do.
I met Concubine Wen a few times in the first few years after I entered the palace. Later, Concubine Wen said she was not feeling well and seldom went out, so I have never seen her since.
Just as I was thinking about it, I saw Concubine Wen walk in.
"Sister Wen, what's the matter that bothers you to come here?" Concubine Chen hurried forward and enthusiastically held Concubine Wen's hand.
[Wow, this Concubine Wen is truly stunning. Even though she is only wearing ordinary palace clothes, she still looks slender and extremely charming.]
[But her eyes were filled with loneliness. I guess it was because of the torture of living in this deep palace that her edge was worn away.]
[I think when she was young, she must have attracted many men. ]
Concubine Wen looked at Lu Xingwan who was sitting on the couch and said, "This is Princess Yong'an. I was not there when she was born. Now that I see her, she is indeed quite good."
Concubine Chen Gui was stunned. Could it be that she came to Qingyun Palace today just to talk?
"My sister was not feeling well at the time. I thought that she loved quietness and the noise of children, so I did not disturb her from recuperating." Although Concubine Chen was puzzled, she did not show it on her face.
"Thank you for your understanding, sister." After saying this, Concubine Wen was silent for a moment, "I came here today because I have something important to tell you, sister."
After saying this, he looked in the direction of Jinxin and Jinyu.
Concubine Chen Guifei then told the two of them to go out and wait first.
Concubine Wen then spoke: "Yesterday, when my maid passed by Yu Garden, she saw the senior maidservant beside Noble Yun handing something to a junior maidservant in your palace. When I came here just now, I saw that the junior maidservant was sweeping the yard."
"My maid has some skills, so she was not discovered by them. It looks like...it looks like a witch's thing."
"Lady Fang originally lived in my palace. Lady Yun has been visiting her frequently these days. Just now, news came that she has given birth."
When Concubine Wen said this, she sighed.
"I thought this might be related to you, so I came to tell you about it."
Concubine Chen Guifei was really shocked this time: "Thank you Sister Wen for reminding me."
He immediately called Jinxin and Jinyu in: "Jinxin, find a reason to take everyone out of the yard. Jinyu, tell Mei, Lan, Zhu and Ju to search the yard carefully."
Jinxin and Jinyu saw that Concubine Chen Guifei looked worried, and they knew that the matter was of great importance, so they hurriedly took the order.
Concubine Chen then looked at Concubine Wen and said, "These people were brought by my family. They are trustworthy."
Only then did Concubine Wen nod and feel relieved.
"In that case, I will go back first." Seeing that Concubine Chen Gui already understood, Concubine Wen did not say anything more. She thought that for someone who could be in charge of the harem, handling these matters would be a piece of cake.
"Thank you, Sister Wenfei, for coming to inform me today. I will bring Yongan to visit you another day. I hope you won't mind." Concubine Chen's words were full of sincerity.
Concubine Wen finally showed a sincere smile: "Then I will wait for you, sister."
When she first came to the harem of the Emperor of Great Chu, she had given her heart to him. But later, she was plotted against and neglected, so she finally let it go.
