Mo Qiyuan returned to Chengqian Palace in a good mood. He didn't want Chen Fuquan to serve him anymore and asked him to go and find out the news he wanted to know.
He took off his ordinary clothes and put on the dragon robe.
Mo Qiyuan went to the imperial study with a happy face and continued to review his memorials.
He sat in front of the dragon desk, holding the memorials submitted by the ministers in his hands and looking at them. He felt that what these ministers, who had always been old-fashioned, wrote today became lovely.
With a wave of his hand, he made a tick on the memorial from the Prime Minister requesting his wife to go to the palace to meet Concubine Bai, approving it.
He picked up the following memorials one after another and read them one by one. He approved all of them as long as they did not have excessive demands.
The palace servants working in the imperial study today felt that the emperor was in a very good mood today. Even the usually serious and depressing atmosphere in the imperial study became fresh because of this.
…
In order to take advantage of this opportunity to make amends, Chen Fuquan worked very efficiently and soon found out what had happened.
But after hearing the news, he was a little hesitant. Was he sure he was not mistaken?
Will I make a mistake again and be blamed by the emperor?
After hesitating for a long time at the door of the imperial study, he finally stamped his feet, made up his mind, and turned to enter the imperial study.
When he came before the Emperor, he spoke hesitantly:
"Your Majesty... I have heard about this..."
Mo Qiyuan glanced at him with disdain. "Report immediately if you find out. Why are you hesitating? Is your tongue tied?"
"No, no, Your Majesty, please calm down. I just feel that this news is a bit too shocking, and I'm afraid that Your Majesty won't believe it if I tell you."
Mo Qiyuan stopped correcting the memorials, put his hands on the desk, raised his head and looked at him with interest.
"Oh~ Tell me how surprising it is."
Chen Fuquan quietly looked at his expression, wondering how he would react after hearing it.
"I just asked someone down there. There are three concubines living in Yingquan Palace. One is General Lin's daughter, Lin Qingtang, who lives in Liushuang Pavilion..."
Mo Qiyuan nodded. He already knew this when he met Lin Qingtang yesterday, and motioned him to continue.
"One is the youngest daughter of the Yu family, the Junior Secretary of the Dali Temple. Her name is Yu Wan'er and she lives in Qingyin Pavilion..."
Mo Qiyuan nodded again, he had some impression of this.
At that time, some officials in the court had a dispute over this issue.
At that time, Yu Zheng, the Shaoqing of the Dali Temple, met with him specifically for the sake of his youngest daughter and asked him not to choose his youngest daughter to enter the palace.
He had originally planned to agree. After all, he had never been interested in such childish girls. There were plenty of mature beauties in his palace.
However, he didn't know how the news of his meeting with him got out. A minister in the court specially wrote a letter to the emperor during the morning court session, saying that he was seeking benefits for his family.
Officials in the court who had a good relationship with Yu Zheng chimed in, saying that his youngest daughter was too young to enter the palace. Officials who had some grudges against him said that her fate was excellent and she was suitable for entering the palace.
He seemed to remember that at that time, even the prime minister had written a letter asking him to select her to enter the palace.
Later, the Queen Mother somehow learned that she was destined to have many children, so she ordered the selection officer to add her name and select her into the palace. He could not interfere.
However, he had no interest in this kind of immature girl, so he let the imperial concubine assign her as she pleased when allocating residences.
Recovering his thoughts, Mo Qiyuan looked at him, indicating that he still had more.
"There's another one here. She's the second daughter of Minister of Revenue Ye Zhiqiu, Ye Jinyun... She lives in Lingyue Pavilion..."
Mo Qiyuan was confused for a moment, Ye Jinyun?
This name seemed familiar, so he thought about it carefully...
Suddenly, he seemed to remember something, his eyes filled with astonishment.
"You're talking about the woman on the list of selected beauties who was described as being in excellent health but had red spots on her face, Ye Jinyun.
Does she have a sister, the Concubine Ye whom I favored last year?
"Your Majesty, it is her. That Concubine Ye is her sister."
Mo Qiyuan couldn't believe it. "Are you sure you didn't make a mistake? Could it be someone else who just happened to be in Yingquan Palace?"
Chen Fuquan thought to himself, he knew the emperor wouldn't believe it.
Because when he first found out, he couldn't believe it. How could a faceless woman with red spots on her face suddenly become a stunning beauty? No one would believe it.
But this was indeed true, and he even took a sneak peek. She was the fairy in the forest, wearing a veil, exactly the same as what he and the emperor had seen.
"Your Majesty, I know you're very surprised. I didn't believe it at first, but I heard today from the palace maids in Yingquan Palace that she had a rash on her face and couldn't be exposed to the wind. She had to wear a veil when going out. So I secretly went to take a look, and sure enough, she was wearing a veil. It was the woman I saw with you."
Mo Qiyuan was startled, and after a while, he calmed down a little and said slowly:
"So, she is the one I have been looking for, right?
That's right, since there are only three of them in Yingquan Palace, besides Lin Qingtang, there are only her and Yu Wan'er left. The lovely girl picking apricot blossoms in the forest today must be Yu Wan'er, so the remaining one can only be her."
Mo Qiyuan repeated it calmly, then laughed at himself.
"Okay, okay, I didn't expect that if this is the case, she would have been hiding under my nose for so long, it's really interesting.
I think the red spots on her face are probably fake. She must have been very clever to be able to hide it from so many people. If I hadn't happened to see her today, she would have been able to hide in this palace forever."
