Chapter 37: Beautiful Daughter vs. Heirless Emperor 37
Concubine Liu summoned Ji Yunhuan in the name of teaching him palace affairs.
Ji Yunhuan rode in the sedan chair awarded by the Empress Dowager and went to Changchun Palace with great fanfare.
Tao Hong was extremely anxious. "My queen, people are saying outside that you have fallen out of favor. Concubine Liu is holding a Hongmen Banquet, and it is obvious that they are trying to deal with you. Can we not go?"
The sedan chair was carried by four eunuchs. It was stable and soft. Ji Yunhuan closed his eyes and pretended to be asleep, saying casually:
"What are you afraid of? I am invulnerable to swords and spears, and immune to all poisons. I am still afraid that she will not take action."
"Oh, my lady, it's already this time, and you're still in the mood to tease Taohong? I'd better send someone to find Nanny Yan. If anything happens, the Empress Dowager can support us!"
Taohong became so anxious that she forgot to call her empress.
Ji Yunhuan patted her head and chuckled, "I'm not kidding you. Your young lady will be fine."
"The Queen often summons me to teach me about palace affairs. She summoned me for this reason. Nothing happened. Wouldn't it be frivolous for us to go to the Queen Mother?"
"Don't worry, I have my own arrangements. Just follow me and listen to my instructions."
Taohong naturally believed in the young lady unconditionally. From the moment she arrived at Shuiyue Temple, the young lady seemed to have come to her senses. Not only did she deal with Aunt Zhang, but she also drove the master out of the house. They entered the palace, and their lives became better and better.
But the palace was full of dangers, and she couldn't do anything to help the young lady.
Ji Yunhuan saw what Taohong was thinking and rubbed her head vigorously. "You are not useless. At least you can make me laugh. Come on, smile and don't look so sad."
Taohong pushed the lady's hand away and slowly fixed her messy hair.
"Young lady is so annoying, she always makes fun of Taohong! Young lady was like this when she was little, dignified in front of others but naughty behind others. After Madam left, Young lady has never been happy again."
"It is said that once you enter the palace, it is like entering a deep sea. Taohong feels that the young lady has become much more cheerful, which shows that His Majesty really dotes on her."
Ji Yunhuan was stunned for a moment. Is that so? Because of the favor, she had the confidence to even dare to lose her temper with the emperor.
She subconsciously touched her belly, not knowing how long this pampering could last. The thing in her belly was the last confidence that allowed her to talk and laugh.
The master and servant chatted and laughed, and the sedan chair soon arrived at Changchun Palace.
Concubine Liu actually came over with a kind face and personally helped Ji Yunhuan up as he was bowing.
"My dear sister Shufei, you are too polite. His Majesty loves me and wants me to manage the palace affairs. I will naturally teach you more. The affairs of the harem are complicated, so you must be patient and learn."
It can be seen that Concubine Liu rarely plays scenes of deep sisterly love, and the smile on her face is particularly stiff.
Ji Yunhuan acted as if she was flattered. "I am so humbled. It is my great fortune to be taught by the Imperial Concubine herself."
Ji Yonglian also came forward to greet Ji Yunhuan, "Sister, I was ignorant when I was in the boudoir and did many wrong things. Now I have changed my ways and will serve you well in the future."
Ji Yunhuan was surprised. After not seeing Ji Yonglian for many days, she really had changed a lot and her ability to pretend had improved.
"You are too polite, sister. We are sisters, and sisters don't hold grudges overnight. Seeing that you are living so well now and have Concubine Liu's support, I am relieved."
Ji Yonglian bit her lip and suppressed the hatred in her heart. If it weren't for Ji Yunhuan's coercion, how could she have fallen to this point? Ji Yunhuan's words were clearly mocking her!
"Okay, let's go in and talk." Concubine Liu said.
The three of them walked into the house hand in hand, talking and laughing, just like real sisters.
There was only a set of tables and chairs in the room, so Concubine Liu was naturally sitting down. Ji Yonglian was used to it, so she stood behind her and fanned her.
"I heard that Concubine Shu's sister is famous in the capital for her talent. I'm sure she is very good at making ink."
Ji Yunhuan smiled good-naturedly, "It is my honor to serve the Imperial Concubine."
Taohong came forward to help Ji Yunhuan roll up his sleeves. Ji Yunhuan's fingers were slender and white as green onions, and his fingertips were light pink, like the finest jade.
The slender white fingers turned gently, the scent of ink filled the air, which was quite pleasing to the eye.
Concubine Liu looked at her fingers which were painted with cardamom. She took good care of her hands every day and thought they were beautiful enough, but now they were outdone.
"That's enough! This is enough ink. I think Ji Ying is tired too. Why not let Sister Shufei do it for you?"
Taohong really couldn't help it. Not only did she not let the young lady sit down, she also asked her to fan herself. The young lady was pregnant, so why should she serve this imperial concubine!
"My Lady, please let me do it. I am strong and can fight steadily."
Concubine Liu raised her eyebrows and said angrily, "How dare you! Don't you consider your own status? A lowly maid from outside the palace, are you qualified to fan me?"
This seems to be a scolding to Tao Hong, but in fact it is a scolding to Ji Yunhuan.
Ji Yunhuan was indifferent to this level of provocation. She stood in front of Taohong with a smile on her face.
"Don't be angry, sister Imperial Concubine. This little girl is young and ignorant. Let me serve you, Your Majesty."
Ji Yonglian was very happy and immediately handed the fan to Ji Yunhuan, "Sister, please fan well. If the wind is too weak, the Imperial Concubine will be angry."
The fan was as tall as a person and felt heavy in the hand. Ji Yunhuan's hands felt sore after using it for a while, but she didn't make it difficult for herself and just pretended to do it. She didn't want to serve Concubine Liu!
"Ouch~" Ji Yunhuan screamed, and the fan in his hand fell towards Concubine Liu, and he also fell towards Taohong.
Taohong immediately supported the young lady, her face turning pale with fright.
Ji Yunhuan blinked at Taohong, signaling her not to worry, and then he struggled to support himself and stood up.
"Your Highness, calm down! I am weak and I didn't hold it steady. Please give me a chance to atone for my mistake. I will never hit you again."
Concubine Liu had a bump on her forehead and was so angry that she was fuming!
How dare Ji Yunhuan? This bitch must have done it on purpose! She shouldn't have listened to Ji Yonglian. It would be much easier to just beat this bitch with twenty boards!
Ji Yunhuan picked up the fan again and started fanning it shakily, as if he was about to fall down at any moment.
"Your Highness, be careful!" Ji Yonglian rushed over with great sincerity and protected Concubine Liu as she went out.
Concubine Liu was so angry that she kicked her and cursed, "Is this the good idea you said? If I lose face in the slightest, I will skin you alive!"
Ji Yonglian knelt on the ground, wishing she could skin Concubine Liu alive.
This idiot can't even punish anyone, he deserves to be defeated by the Queen!
"Your Majesty, calm down! If this matter gets out, it will be because you humiliated her first, and we are not in the right. She insisted on pretending to be weak, and you can't force her. We should find some quiet and torturous ways..."
After hearing this, Concubine Liu nodded repeatedly and immediately asked someone to make arrangements.
"If it still doesn't work, I'll only ask you for help!"
