Chapter 59 Look at this cake, it is big and round
Sending Liu Zhiyuan back to Zining Palace safely is more important than anything else. After all, if she is not safe, he may not be able to enter the Golden Throne Hall even if he tries dozens of times!
Liu Dehai had an expression of "I knew it" and ordered people to put down the dragon chariot.
"Thank you, Your Majesty." Liu Zhiyuan climbed up with a smile on his face.
Yan Ruyu standing by was stunned.
The scheduled morning court session has been delayed. National affairs cannot be delayed. There is no time to listen to her words, but there is time to send Liu Zhiyuan back to the palace, right?
The treatment of favorite concubines is the same, what a double standard!
Yan Ruyu twisted her handkerchief and watched the dragon chariot leave. She turned around and saw the concubines headed by Concubine Chen standing behind her, looking at the direction where Xiao Yu and Liu Zhiyuan left with shocked faces.
Yan Ruyu was furious and asked, "What are you looking at?" She looked at the dragon chariot again, and it was not your turn as a bunch of vulgar women to sit on it!
You guys are so greedy!
If these people hadn't been so bored that they called Liu Zhiyuan over, she wouldn't have been caught by the emperor to do the work. She was annoyed just by seeing these culprits!
Concubine Li came back to her senses, her lips trembling slightly, "Concubine Yu, did Concubine Liu just leave on the dragon chariot?"
Oh, she became interested when it came to this.
Yan Ruyu strode up to the concubines, walked back and forth, and admired their envious and jealous expressions.
"Yes, didn't you all see it? The Emperor didn't even go to the morning court and specially sent Concubine Liu back to Zining Palace. What an honor and favor! It's really enviable."
You bunch of mischievous vixens, just go and be envious!
"Don't blame me for not reminding you. The Emperor is very fond of Concubine Liu. Anyone who wants to cause trouble for her should first consider their own weight. Don't let them fail to anticipate and end up losing both the wife and the army."
Yan Ruyu cast a meaningful look at Concubine Chen.
Concubine Chen was so angry that her face turned green.
Isn't that just losing both the wife and the army?
Nothing happened to Liu Zhiyuan, but she lost the right to manage the harem!
There is also an imperial concubine whose position is above his own!
That's a real queen!
Concubine Chen sneered, "Sister Yu Fei, you should take care of yourself first. The Emperor favors Concubine Liu so much that he even lets her ride the dragon chariot that symbolizes the emperor's majesty. If she becomes the Empress, it won't be your turn to manage the harem."
Yan Ruyu covered her mouth and chuckled, "Sister Imperial Concubine, is it because you are old and your memory is not very good? It is precisely because Sister Liu Fei did not want the power to manage the harem that the Emperor let me take charge."
These words could be said to be a direct poke at Concubine Chen's chest.
She was the first concubine to enter the palace and also the oldest in the harem.
Every year, young and beautiful women are sent into the palace. They are as beautiful as flowers and in their prime, and the age gap between them and her is obvious.
Therefore, age has always been her minefield.
Due to her power, no one has ever dared to mention it in front of her, but today Yan Ruyu, this villain who has succeeded in doing what she wants, actually dared to mention it!
Concubine Chen's face was twisted with anger.
Unable to maintain a fake smile, she said, "Speaking of age, Sister Yufei is already twenty-three this year. You should focus more on yourself first."
Yan Ruyu's lung tube was also inserted and she could no longer laugh.
"I heard that managing the harem requires a lot of effort and energy, and it is easy to consume energy. I really need to worry more about myself, unlike my sister, who can cultivate her character in her spare time."
Concubine Chen choked.
Bitch! How dare you laugh at her for being an idler!
Yan Ruyu stroked her hair and said angrily, "Oh, I forgot to remind you, sister, I am now the Imperial Noble Consort. You can call me Jade Imperial Noble Consort from now on. It's not appropriate to call me sister anymore."
After saying this, he glanced sarcastically at Concubine Chen's dark face and left arrogantly.
The other concubines dared not say a word and tried to reduce their presence as much as possible to avoid being implicated.
Concubine Chen almost crushed the handkerchief with her hands. Su Tao stepped forward worriedly, "Your Majesty."
Snap——
Concubine Chen slapped her in the face and said viciously, "Go to Wanshou Palace!"
……………………
Xiao Yu left the court and returned to the imperial study. A young eunuch came in to deliver a message.
"Your Majesty, the Imperial Concubine is here."
Xiao Yu frowned, "What is she doing here?"
Liu Dehai said, "Maybe it's because of what happened this morning."
trouble.
Xiao Yu's face was full of impatience, "Let her in."
Yan Ruyu walked in, twisting a handkerchief in her hand, looking a little shy.
Xiao Yu took a quick glance and the image of Liu Zhiyuan pretending to be good emerged in his mind, and his face darkened.
"Why are you pretending? You still can't be like Liu Zhiyuan."
Yan Ruyu's face was full of question marks, "Your Majesty, does Concubine Liu always pretend in front of you?"
Xiao Yu was stunned for a moment, as if he didn't understand why he suddenly thought of Liu Zhiyuan.
His expression was a little unnatural, "What's the matter?"
"Your Majesty, do you really want to make me the Imperial Noble Consort and have me manage the harem? This is not good."
"What's wrong with that? I'm not going to let you be the Imperial Concubine and then treat you as an injustice."
"But doesn't the Emperor like Concubine Liu? The power to manage the harem should be given to her."
Xiao Yu was speechless. "Didn't you see that she didn't want to take care of it? She's so lazy, it's good enough that she can take care of herself."
And you still want to count on her to take care of the harem!
Yan Ruyu choked and said, "So you can't bear to let your own woman do the work, so you captured me to work as a laborer, right?"
"What on earth do you want from me? If not, get out of here. I still have official business to attend to."
"Oh, I just want to remind Your Majesty that I am already twenty-three years old this year."
"So what?" What does it matter to me how old you are?
There was a hint of impatience in Xiao Yu's eyes, and it was obvious that his patience was almost exhausted.
Yan Ruyu, “…”
I guess you forgot everything you promised me!
"Your Majesty, you said that as long as I stay in the palace to monitor the Empress Dowager and Concubine Chen for two years, you will let me leave."
But she has been in the palace for seven years!
From a sixteen-year-old girl in her prime to an old and ugly woman, this is what people do!
Speaking of this, Xiao Yu felt guilty for a rare moment.
"In the palace, you eat and drink well, and you get a monthly allowance. You can't earn what the palace earns in half a year in a few years outside. Don't you think you're wronged?"
"I'm not wronged, but I'm old and I need to get married. Did you forget that you said you would let me out of the palace in two years and then grant me a marriage?"
"Why are you getting married? Aren't you ashamed of yourself as a woman to be so anxious to get married?"
"I'm not in a hurry, but Zhou Lang is. His mother is old and anxious to have a grandchild. She has given him an ultimatum: if he doesn't get married, she will arrange a blind date for him."
When her man is gone, who will she turn to for support?
Xiao Yu glared coldly, "Your Zhou Lang is currently investigating Liu Zhongyuan's case of embezzling disaster funds, so he has no time to marry you."
Yan Ruyu was so angry that her eyes widened. What a fucking inhuman!
It’s bad enough that he exploits her, but he doesn’t let her man go either!
"But Your Majesty..."
Xiao Yu interrupted her and painted a big, round pie for her, "When the time comes, I will not only grant you a marriage, but also make you a county lady, so that you can marry in a grand manner."
Yan Ruyu's eyes lit up, "Really?"
"For your sake, I will give Zhou Kang a promotion in the future. By then, he will be a good match for you, and your father will have fewer opinions about him."
Yan Ruyu burst into tears of gratitude, "Thank you, Your Majesty!"
Your Majesty, you are such a good person! I won't talk behind your back anymore!
"By the way, keep an eye on Liu Zhiyuan. Don't let anyone disturb her. Forget the morning and evening prayers for her. Let her sleep well."
As soon as the words fell, everything in front of him went dark. Xiao Yu's heart skipped a beat. It was coming again...
