"Your Highness, the Imperial Concubine is so ungrateful! You came to see her, and yet she's gone." Yumei spoke up for her mistress. "In my opinion, the Imperial Concubine is jealous that the Emperor stayed at your place last night."
When Concubine Xian heard the first sentence, she was not very happy and was about to get angry, but when she heard the second sentence, her mood became cheerful again.
Maybe she was really jealous as Yumei said.
Concubine Xian was walking back in a good mood and happened to run into Xia Yuwei on the way. Her eyes swept over the food box in the hand of the palace maid, and the corners of her lips curled up slightly.
"Where are you going, sister Liangfei?"
Xia Yuwei's face stiffened slightly, and she smiled and said, "Just taking a casual walk."
"Just take a walk."
Xia Yuwei felt humiliated when she heard her strange tone, but she still smiled and said, "Yes."
"Then I'm sorry to bother you, sister Liangfei."
Having said that, Concubine Xian left with a smug smile on her face.
As soon as they left, Xia He said angrily, "Your Majesty, Concubine Xian doesn't take us seriously at all. She's just a dog relying on Concubine Chen. What qualifications does she have to look down on us?"
"Stop talking!" Xia Yuwei's voice suddenly rose.
Xia He was startled and shut her mouth.
Meanwhile, Nan Shaotian, who was reviewing memorials in the imperial study, felt a wave of daze, his hands resting on his dizzy head. San Dezi noticed his abnormality and nervously asked, "Your Majesty, what's wrong with you?"
The Southern Emperor suddenly raised his head, his cold eyes fixed on him. San Dezi was caught off guard and frightened by his sharp gaze.
"Your Majesty." Sandezi couldn't help swallowing.
Xiao Yan looked at the surrounding environment, stood up and walked out of the hall.
Sandezi hurried to follow.
Oh, my emperor, where are you going?
Outside the palace, Xia Yuwei and her servant were waiting for the eunuch to come in and report. Unbeknownst to them, the eunuch would see the Southern Emperor coming out the moment he entered, leaving him no time to report.
Xia Yuwei and her servant were waiting outside. After waiting for a few moments, they saw a bright yellow figure walking out.
Xia He said excitedly, "Your Majesty, you see, the Emperor still values you very much. As soon as he heard you were coming, he came out to greet you personally."
Xia Yuwei felt as if she had eaten honey in her heart, but she still pretended to be reserved and scolded him, "Don't talk nonsense."
Xia He could tell that her master was very happy and did not take the scolding to heart.
When Xiao Yan's figure approached, the master and servant knelt down and saluted.
"Your Majesty, I, your humble servant, pay my respects to you. Long live the Emperor."
Xiao Yan paused. This woman was the same one from the last time in the Imperial Garden.
"Get up."
"Thank you, Your Majesty." The master and servant stood up. Xia Yuwei smiled and was about to speak when she saw his figure walking past her without even looking at her.
Xia Yuwei stood there in a daze, her mind blank.
"Your Majesty, the Emperor must have something urgent to deal with." Xia He explained from the side.
Xia Yuwei had an ugly smile on her lips, "Maybe. Let's go."
Xia He was a little worried about her master, and she would glance at him from time to time. On the way back, they soon found out where the emperor had gone in such a hurry. He went to Chenxiao Palace again.
In the past, although the Imperial Concubine was favored, the Emperor would still visit the Four Concubines. But now, for a month, he either stays in the Qianqing Palace or the Chenxiao Palace.
