Chapter 59 Concubine Lan is Sick

Seeing the awkward situation, Concubine Chen quickly got down to business: "I came here this time because I have something to discuss with Your Majesty."

The Emperor of Great Chu said nothing, but looked at her.

"Xingxue is old enough now, and it's time for her to get married. Your Majesty, does she have a favorite family?" Concubine Chen asked tentatively.

"I actually forgot about this matter. I almost sent her to marry a few days ago," the Great Chu Emperor mentioned the incident at the palace banquet, and seemed a little unhappy. "But I didn't pay attention to which son was suitable. Does Qingyan have a suitable candidate?"

"Of course not, so I thought, now that the flowers in the Yu Garden are in full bloom, why not hold a spring banquet and invite the young men and women from all families to come to the palace together so that they can see each other."

"Alright," the Great Chu Emperor nodded, "I feel relieved to have you take care of Xingxue."

"It's just that there will be a birthday banquet for the Queen Mother soon. I'm sorry for your hard work."

"With Sister Lan's help and many palace maids serving us, it will be easy to manage." When Concubine Chen Gui saw that the Emperor of Great Chu had agreed, she hurriedly replied.

"Yesterday, Xingruo came to say that she wanted to hold a poetry meeting and take Xingxue with her. I think you two may have come up with the same idea." Thinking of how harmoniously his two daughters were getting along, the Great Chu Emperor couldn't help but laugh.

"Xing Ruo is very concerned about Xing Xue's affairs now!"

As they were talking, Meng Quande came in from outside and said, "Your Majesty, the Minister of Finance is here."

Concubine Chen stood up, said goodbye and left.

Not long after leaving Yu's study, Concubine Ning followed and said, "Sister, I come to Yu's study every day now. Do you not want me to?"

Concubine Chen Gui was stunned for a moment, then smiled and said, "Sister, what are you talking about? I came here for the sake of your majesty's health. Thank you for your hard work."

"I thought my sister was angry." Concubine Ning muttered, holding Concubine Chen Gui's arm, "My sister knows that I am the worst at speaking."

Hearing this, Lu Xingwan frowned.

[Empress Ning used to be a good person, but after spending so much time with my father, she has become like this, a bit sinister.]

Concubine Chen couldn't help but frown. What does "tea aroma in tea" mean? It doesn't sound like a good word.

On the second day, Concubine Chen Guifei was busy with the preparations for the Spring Banquet. Thinking about what she had promised He Yuyao in the past, she specially asked Jinxin to go to He's house.

Jinxin's return naturally made Lin and He Yunyao feel like they were facing a formidable enemy.

It seems that Concubine Chen Guifei doesn't like me. I wonder why the palace maid beside her came here this time?

However, Minister He had gone to court, so Lin could only ask her servants to invite He Yuyao over, and she didn't dare to play any tricks in front of Jinxin.

"Madam He," Jin Xin was polite this time, "a few days ago, our queen said that she wanted to invite Miss He to the palace, but recently the queen has been busy with other things and has not been able to pay her any attention."

"But don't worry, Miss He. Our queen said that the same will happen when we meet again at the spring banquet in the palace in a few days."

"The palace is going to hold a spring banquet?" He Yunyao asked in surprise, but was pulled by Lin to stop her from continuing.

Their little actions naturally could not escape Jinxin's eyes. However, seeing that Miss He's clothes were much higher quality this time than last time, she thought that Miss He had earned a position in the family by herself, so she was naturally happy for her.

So he was not angry: "In a few days, the palace will send an invitation to invite Miss to the banquet."

These words were naturally directed towards He Yuyao.

Seeing Lin's anxiety, Fang turned his head and looked at He Yunyao: "Of course there is also the Second Miss."

"But Madam He doesn't have to go this time. Our queen is hosting a banquet for young men and women from official families, so it's okay for the ladies to take a day off."

Lin nodded and said, "Of course."

Thinking of the last time Jinxin refused the reward money, he didn't dare to mention it again. He just respectfully saw Jinxin out and then turned back to make arrangements for He Yunyao.

As for He Yuyao, now that she has figured out the old lady's mind, she is naturally in pain, so why should she worry about it herself.

But with this kind of thought in mind, He Yuyao would naturally become lazy.

Afterwards, he was tortured by the old lady again.

A few days later, news suddenly came from Yanhe Palace that Concubine Lan had fallen ill.

Concubine Chen Gui didn't care about anything else and walked towards Yanhe Palace. After walking for a long time, she found that Jinxin had followed her out with Wanwan in her arms.

"Why are you holding Wanwan?" Concubine Chen asked in confusion. She had thought that since Concubine Lan was sick, she should not take Wanwan with her, as children are always weak.

Jin Xin was puzzled: "Doesn't the Queen always take the princess with her wherever she goes?"

The Lu Xing Wan Le blossomed in her arms.

[Not bad, not bad, Sister Jinxin is not bad, she is really a teachable kid, but my mother actually wants to abandon me, humph!]

Concubine Chen Gui was helpless: "I think Concubine Lan is ill, and I hope that the illness will be passed on to Wanwan."

It seemed that he was explaining it to Jinxin, but in fact, he was explaining it to Lu Xingwan.

Jin Xin was stunned for a moment: "Then I... take the little princess back?"

Concubine Chen Guifei thought of what Wanwan had said just now, and waved her hands: "Forget it, forget it, we've all come out, let's go together!"

Because Concubine Ning's Ninghe Palace was closer to Yanhe Palace, by the time Concubine Chen Guifei and others arrived, Concubine Ning had already started examining Concubine Lan.

Concubine Chen did not dare to disturb them, and hurriedly pulled the second prince aside: "Jin Yu, how is your mother?"

The second prince said worriedly, "I have felt that mother has been a little out of spirits these past few days. I thought it was because of overwork, but unexpectedly this morning mother fainted in front of the bed. I invited the imperial physician to come, but he just said that she was overworked and should take good care of herself. That's why I invited Concubine Ning to come."

As they were talking, Concubine Ning had already finished reading it.

Concubine Chen Guifei hurried forward and asked, "How is it?"

Concubine Ning shook her head, a look of difficulty on her face: "There is no other illness. I think the doctor's diagnosis is correct. It is better to let Sister Lan take good care of herself for a few days."

Concubine Chen Gui stepped forward and took Concubine Lan's hand, then sat down on the bed. She sighed and said, "It's me who has implicated my sister."

"You are the one who has implicated me," Concubine Lan hurriedly comforted her, "I have not done anything to help you with palace affairs these days, it's just that my body is not up to the task."

Concubine Ning patted their hands and comforted them, "Anyway, it's just that I'm tired. Now I just need to take good care of myself. I believe I'll be fine soon. My two sisters can rest assured."

After saying that, he turned to look at the Second Prince and said, "Your Highness, don't worry. Concubine Lan has no other illness. She just needs to be taken good care of."

Concubine Chen Gui still looked at Concubine Lan with guilt: "Then sister, take good care of yourself. I will take care of the rest."

Concubine Lan patted Concubine Chen Gui's hand and said, "Thank you for your hard work."

However, after taking the medicine for a few days, Lan Fei's condition did not improve and she was still as weak as she was at the beginning.
