The next morning, when Xi Yun arrived at Jiayu Palace, she was surprised to find that the first person she saw was Ruan Yu Mu.
"Greetings, Your Highness Consort Mu!" Xi Yun bowed respectfully.
"Sister, please get up. I meant to help you up, but my Yujing Palace was attacked by thieves the other day. We fought for a while, and my hands are a little sore."
Ruan and Mu deliberately showed their injured wrists, moved closer, and spoke in a tone that only the two of them could hear, as if telling Xi Yun that this was true.
Xi Yun took a step back in fright, but with so many people around, she quickly cleared her throat. "Oh? Is that so? I never imagined there would be such a treacherous person in the palace. Your Highness must be careful!"
Although she remained expressionless and tried to appear calm, her trembling lips were already a hint that Ruan and Mu Xiyun seemed to know something!
Ruan Yumu gave a provocative smile and swaggered in, lifting her skirt as she walked in.
Geng Yulin, of course, did not let Yelü Yanyun off the hook either. He had informed her last night that if she did not come, Geng Yulin had already thought of a way to deal with her.
If she doesn't come, since she's pregnant and has nothing to do anyway, she can stay in the palace and prepare the furniture for the spring banquet.
Early in the morning, Yelü Yanyun's personal maid, Yunxiu, quickly woke her up.
"Your Highness, Consort Gui, please get up quickly! All the ladies in the palace have to go to Jiayu Palace today to discuss the Spring Banquet. We can't miss it! Besides, Consort Shuyuan came to our Lihua Terrace several times last night, afraid that Your Highness wouldn't go!"
Hearing these words, Yelü Yanyun, who was pregnant, was naturally very uncomfortable. She had been eating and sleeping for more than two months while being locked up, and she had gotten used to her biological clock. Now it seemed that if she was released, there would be too many things to do every day, so it would be better to stay locked up!
"Yunxiu, it's still early, please let me sleep a little longer!"
Yunxiu was very anxious, so she ordered all the palace maids in charge of dressing and grooming to come in.
It's obvious that the reason Lady Shuyuan has come to invite her so many times is because she has already prepared a punishment for her. If she doesn't go, who knows what kind of trouble Geng Yulin will cause!
"Your Majesty! Your Highness!" Yunxiu called out tentatively twice, only to find that Yelü Yanyun had turned over and fallen asleep again!
"Someone come here to help the Noble Consort change her clothes and put on her makeup! This matter cannot be delayed today!" Yunxiu had no choice but to make a quick decision and stand up for her mistress!
A group of palace maids swarmed forward and dragged Yelü Yanyun directly off the bed.
Yelü Yanyun felt weak and limp. She was more than five months pregnant and her morning sickness had long since subsided, but she was extremely sleepy. In addition, Consort Mu had been sending her a lot of tonics from time to time, which helped her body nurture the child.
Lying on this bed is so comfortable! I really don't know what Geng Yulin was thinking, that he actually asked me to come over!
She simply didn't want to move, and helplessly waited for the palace maids to drag her up to wash and change. "Can't I just say I'm not feeling well and not go?"
Yunxiu whispered to Yelü Yanyun, "That Lady Shuyuan has naturally taken this into consideration. There was even an imperial physician waiting at the gate early this morning. It seems she won't be satisfied until Your Highness comes over! Get up, Your Highness!"
Yelü Yanyun was completely bewildered; what kind of situation was this?!
"Your Highness, Consort, a palace maid has arrived at Jiayu Palace. She says all the concubines have arrived except for you!"
Just as Yunxiu had guessed, Geng Yulin was deliberately targeting his master.
"Your Highness, be careful!" Seeing Yelü Yanyun finally sit up in agitation, Yunxiu quickly went forward to help her.
Yelü Yanyun's face was full of impatience, and he was very sleepy. This urging only made him more irritable.
"Does she really think she's the Empress? Does she think everyone in the harem has to listen to her? She's been managing the harem for almost a year and she's still just a fourth-rank Lady of the Palace. She doesn't even have a child of her own, and the Emperor never goes to her palace. Isn't she ashamed!"
Yunxiu also joined in the complaints, "Yes! Your Highness, if you give birth to a son in the future, you'd better give her a hard time. Ever since she entered the palace, she's been targeting our Lihuatai for no reason. Really! Does she really think she's the Empress? She's been changing our Lihuatai's maids all over the place, and she keeps calling them to Jiayu Palace to help out. Does she think they have no one left in their palace?!"
Yelü Yanyun was also helpless upon hearing this. She naturally felt sorry for the people in her palace, but who could blame her for being inexplicably imprisoned some time ago!
"Yes! She can come and go as she pleases. Although I, Li Huatai, am not the legitimate empress, I was personally bestowed this title by the emperor. Why should I suffer at her hands? She can call me whatever she wants. Who does she take me for?"
Yunxiu nodded in agreement! She didn't know what was wrong with the Emperor; he actually entrusted the reins of the harem to such a crazy woman!
When Yelü Yanyun arrived, she was already a princess of the Northern Frontier, and the Northern Frontier hasn't even fallen yet! These opportunists are already starting to turn against her. Back in her family, her father and concubines all respected and indulged her!
"Let's go to Jiayu Palace. I want to see what kind of madness Geng Yulin is going to cause this time!" she said impatiently.
At this moment, Yelü Yanyun and Consort Mu sat on the high hall, raising their heads high, seemingly indifferent to the concubines below!
Perhaps in her eyes, none of the women in the harem are now an obstacle to her. Her maternal clan is so powerful that although Ruan Yu Mu has two children, her maternal clan is already completely empty!
