When coming out of Concubine Yi's palace, Jiang Ranli happened to bump into Yinlang who was walking hurriedly.
"Aren't you at the Emperor's place? Why are you here?" Jiang Ranli asked when he saw Yinzhen.
Yin'er's handsome eyebrows were slightly wrinkled, and his deep and beautiful eyes were full of tension and worry. He looked Jiang Ranli up and down, and only felt relieved when he saw that she was fine.
"I hope it's not difficult for you when mother asks you to come here?"
As soon as Yinzhen took his leave from the Yangxin Palace, he met Chang Shun who was guarding the door of the Yangxin Palace. Chang Shun told him that Jiang Ranli had been transferred to the Yiku Palace by Concubine Yi. His heart immediately rose to his throat, worried that Concubine Yi would make things difficult for Jiang Ranli.
Seeing his worried look, Jiang Ranli felt warm inside. This man was always confident and well-planned no matter what happened, but whenever he encountered something related to her, he would lose his composure.
"What can happen to me? Everything is fine."
As he spoke, Jiang Ranli made a powerful gesture, indicating that he was really fine.
Seeing her smile at this moment, Yinzhen was still worried and asked again, "Mother, did you really not make things difficult for me?"
Jiang Ranli shook his head, "Really not. Oh, by the way, mother also gave me a pair of coral hairpins."
Yinzhen lowered his eyes to look at the brocade box in Jiang Ranli's hand. Inside the box lay a pair of exquisitely crafted gold-thread coral hairpins.
"Why did she give this to you?" Yinzhen didn't know the reason. Based on his understanding of his own mother, she would never give anything to Jiang Ranli unless there was something important.
Seeing that Yinzhen was still worried, Jiang Ranli thought about it and told him the reason. Although the process was a bit complicated, the result was finally good, so there was nothing to hide from Yinzhen at this moment.
"Don't do this again in the future. I don't want to see you suffer any injustice."
After hearing Jiang Ranli talk about what happened just now, Yinzhen felt a pang of fear in his heart. He couldn't imagine what the situation would be like now if Jiang Ranli hadn't found evidence to prove himself.
Yinzhen knew Jiang Ranli's character very well and knew that she was not someone who would compromise, but now she compromised for him several times in front of Concubine Yi, just because she didn't want to create a rift between them as mother and son.
"Li'er, thank you," Yin'er said as he hugged Jiang Ranli in his arms, his graceful chin resting on her head, and his evil and handsome face was full of heartache.
"Hey, let me go. This is the imperial palace. Don't bring me trouble. I want to live a few more years."
Seeing that the palace maids and eunuchs around were looking at them, Jiang Ranli hurriedly pushed Yinzhen aside. In this palace, rumors can kill people. She had just experienced this with Concubine Yi, so she didn't want to go through it again.
"Don't worry, as long as I am alive, I will protect you." Yin'er, who was pushed away by Jiang Ranli, looked at her lovingly with deep and firm eyes.
After that, Yinzhen went to Yiku Palace to pay his respects to Concubine Yi, while Jiang Ranli was called by the people who came out to look for her to continue rehearsing the program with everyone.
Time passed quickly. After Yinzhen and Jiang Ranli were busy for half a month, the Empress Dowager's birthday finally arrived.
The birthday banquet was held in the open space in front of the Palace of Heavenly Purity. Most of the important events in the palace were held here.
In previous years, the Empress Dowager's birthday would be celebrated with great grandeur, but considering the special circumstances this year, with the Crown Prince deposed and the eldest and thirteenth princes imprisoned, Jiang Ranli and Yinzhen made some slight changes, no longer continuing the extraordinarily grand style of previous years, and instead focusing on the final visual effect.
