After He Xue finished looking at the sketchbook and was about to rest for a while, Qing Dai came in and said, "Your Majesty, He Zhu just sent someone to say that His Majesty was stopped in Yimei Garden!"
"Oh, male or female?" He Xue asked casually. [Could it be that some of the concubines are getting restless?]
Qingdai was a little confused by Hexue's train of thought. [Shouldn't Your Majesty be concerned about the Emperor right now? Your Majesty's focus is on the wrong thing!]
"It's a woman!"
"Oh!" Xue suddenly realized, "Where are you talking about?"
"Yimei Garden!" Seeing He Xue's reaction, Qing Dai thought that He Xue had realized the seriousness of the matter!
[Yimei Garden? Zhen Huan? The timing is wrong, shouldn't it be New Year's Eve? Although it's a bit late now, the effect will definitely be different!] He Xue felt a vague sense of anticipation.
Seeing He Xue's amused expression, Qing Dai knew that He Xue was definitely not concerned about the Emperor being stopped.
"Qingdai, hurry, let's go to Yimei Garden! Otherwise, it will be too late!" Hexue said, getting up.
"Your Majesty, you're not going to show concern for the Emperor, you're just worried about missing the excitement if you arrive too late!" Qingdai ruthlessly exposed Hexue's thoughts.
"Qingdai, there are some things you should see through but not say!" He Xue said with a smile, then asked, "Am I being that obvious?"
Qingdai nodded. "Don't make it too obvious!"
“Then I’ll tone it down!” He Xue said.
After He Xue finished tidying up, she immediately called to Xia Bing and An Lingrong, "Let's go to Yimei Garden, there's a good show to watch!"
Xia Bing was already used to it, but An Lingrong didn't understand what was going on and could only follow along in a daze.
He Zhu couldn't understand why Emperor Jingning was dawdling with Zhen Huan here. Was he just too idle lately?
He was somewhat worried for Emperor Jingning. If the Empress arrived soon, things would be difficult to explain. However, He Zhu forgot that he was the one who sent someone to inform He Xue.
"You are a candidate for the imperial concubine, you shouldn't be in the Chuxiu Palace, how did you end up here?" Emperor Jingning asked.
"I heard that wishes made in the plum garden are more effective, so I came here!"
"Disregarding palace rules and wandering around at will, do you know your crime?" Emperor Jingning asked.
"This humble woman...this humble woman knows her mistake! May I ask who Your Excellency is?" Zhen Huan asked, bewildered.
Emperor Jingning glanced at Zhen Huan with disdain, "You've already referred to yourself as a subject, do you really not know my identity?"
Do you think everyone can move around the palace as freely as you do?
"Your Majesty, please forgive me, I was unaware!" Zhen Huan said, kneeling on the ground.
"Don't try to show off in front of me, you little punks!"
Zhen Huan blushed, whether from embarrassment at being called out or anger at being wrongly accused.
"Your Majesty, you have misunderstood. I had no intention of participating in the imperial concubine selection. It is only because I did not participate that my younger sister did. As the elder sister, I have an inescapable responsibility!"
"You've really been wronged!" Emperor Jingning said with a sneer. "He Zhu, tell the Imperial Household Department that not just anyone can participate in the imperial concubine selection. At the very least, one should have some education!"
"Your Majesty, I... have read some books!" Zhen Huan explained.
"You've been to school? You can say 'May the wind understand my heart'? You can also say 'Huanhuan's waist is like a bird in the Chu palace'?"
"I think you shouldn't be called Zhen Huan, you should be called Zhen Xuan!"
Hearing Emperor Jingning's mockery, Zhen Huan felt utterly ashamed and wished she could disappear into the ground.
"You said you didn't want to participate in the talent show, you didn't want to enter the palace. If you didn't want to participate, you wouldn't be here today!"
Emperor Jingning felt that he had been out of his mind to waste his breath arguing with Zhen Huan, so he turned to leave but then stopped.
