Chapter 129 You Don’t Have to Take It to Heart
Three consecutive days.
Zhang Chengyan has been hanging out with Wen Ruyun.
Not to mention the other concubines in the harem, even Bai Wutong didn't see him.
Every day when Chan'er had nothing to do, she would run outside to watch, hoping that the emperor would come soon.
But after waiting for a long time, there was still no sign of that tall and slender figure...
"Sister Yingchun, when will the emperor come?"
Yingchun was also anxious, but she didn't show it too obviously. However, there was a blister on the corner of her lips since yesterday. "How can a servant like me know about the emperor's affairs? Okay, don't just go out and see for no reason. Say something nice to the queen."
"Got it." Chan'er turned around for the last time.
Hey, that’s… the Emperor!
"Your Majesty, the Emperor is here!"
Chan'er rushed in, her face full of joy, "Your Majesty, I know that you are the most important person in the emperor's heart!"
Bai Wutong looked out the window and pursed her lips slightly.
Even if the emperor did not come today, she would find a way to go to the Yangxin Palace to check and find out what was going on.
She didn't want her two months of hard work to go to waste.
After a moment.
Zhang Chengyan walked in.
He looked normal and showed no signs of abnormality, except that his eyes were deeper than usual.
Bai Wutong went forward to greet him as usual, but anyone could see the reluctance in her smile, not the joy she had before, "Your Majesty, you are here."
"Yeah." Zhang Chengyan noticed a hint of red at the corner of her eyes at a glance.
She must have been very sad when I wasn't there.
Zhang Chengyan felt a little distressed and gently held her hand, "Princess Zhao, I've been... quite busy recently, so I can't come over for the time being. You don't have to think too much, just understand that I'm always here."
Bai Wutong took the opportunity to lean into his arms and sniffed with her small nose.
There was no fragrance on his body, or rather, he did not have the strong fragrance that concubines in the harem often used.
The last time she went to see Wen Ruyun, she could smell the scent of jasmine from a distance.
If the emperor really spent every night with Wen Ruyun, it is impossible that he didn't leave any traces.
Unless... he had never had any close contact with Wen Ruyun!
Bai Wutong's mind was wandering. She raised her head slightly and looked at him with red eyes. "Your Majesty, do you dislike me? Sister Wen must be better than me, that's why Your Majesty doesn't want to come."
She rarely showed any behavior of competing for favor in front of Zhang Chengyan, and most of the time she was sensible and well-behaved.
But today, she wanted to verify what was going on.
Zhang Chengyan held her hand tightly and pulled her into his arms. "What are you talking about? Of course I like you. As for Lady Wen...you don't have to take it to heart."
Don't worry about it?
What does this mean?
Just a temporary favor?
Bai Wutong thought for a moment, then gently placed her small hand on Zhang Chengyan's chest. She moved her body slightly and sat down on him inconspicuously.
As she spoke, she moved her body and said, "Your Majesty, I don't understand what you are saying."
Almost instantly, she felt something pressing against her.
Zhang Chengyan's expression changed slightly, and he held her hand tighter. He lowered his head and leaned on Bai Wutong's arms, sniffing the soothing and elegant fragrance on her body, breathing hotly, "Don't make trouble."
How come there was such a quick reaction?
Although Zhang Chengyan is not a person who can remain calm when a beautiful woman sits on his lap, he will not be so impatient.
Unless he has been holding it in for a long time and has never let it out.
Could it be that he had never favored Wen Ruyun at all?
"emperor……"
"I have some things to do recently. I will explain everything when everything is over. Before that..."
He gently kissed those red lips, "Don't think too much, don't be sad, you are the one I love the most."
Bai Wutong suppressed the thought in her eyes and smiled gently, "Your Majesty, I believe you."
Zhang Chengyan held her hand and slowly moved closer to him, "I feel a little uncomfortable. In the past two months, I have never favored anyone for you..."
…
An hour later.
Zhang Chengyan left.
Bai Wutong washes his hands.
She was sure of it now.
The emperor has never favored Wen Ruyun.
Otherwise, it wouldn't be all over her clothes.
Could the emperor's mention of having something to do be related to Wen Ruyun?
She couldn't figure it out, so she decided to wait and see for a few more days.
Zhang Chengyan never came again for the next five days.
He was not busy with state affairs, but was busy spending day and night with Wen Ruyun.
Wen Ruyun served in the emperor's bedchamber at night and stayed in the Yangxin Palace during the day. Rewards were sent to Wen Ruyun's palace like a stream.
Even when Bai Wutong was pregnant, she did not receive such treatment.
Chan'er's face was full of resentment, and she cursed the emperor in her heart for being fickle and romantic!
Bai Wutong was not in a hurry at all. After a few days of observation, she was certain that the emperor had no feelings for Wen Ruyun and all this was probably just a show.
As for who this show is for, it should be the Queen Mother.
But this is just a guess, she is not sure yet.
Chan Er pouted and handed over the teacup, "My Lady, please drink some tea to cool down your body."
Bai Wutong took it and looked at her expression, he couldn't help laughing, "I'm not angry, I'll brew Yuye Changchun again in the future."
"Your Majesty, aren't you anxious? The Emperor..."
Bai Wutong took a sip and said, "Don't worry, this all happened too fast, so there must be a problem."
Chan'er was puzzled, "What do you mean too fast?"
The emperor's favor for Wen Ruyun was too quick and too hasty, and many things didn't make sense.
Yingchun's voice came from outside the door, "My Lady, Eunuch Wang is here."
"Let him in."
Wang Decai stepped into the room with a smile on his face, "Madam Zhaopin, the emperor asked me to bring you something."
He waved his hand, and two eunuchs came forward holding a small box.
Bai Wutong sighed, and her previously calm expression was instantly filled with resentment. Her eyebrows were furrowed tightly, and I felt pity for her. "Eunuch Wang, why did the emperor suddenly send something over here?"
Without waiting for an answer, she forced a smile and said, "Forget it, you don't have to tell me. Who can guess what the emperor is thinking? I like to be quiet, so I won't keep these things. Lady Wen is so favored, why not give them to her."
As she spoke, she turned her head away, not wanting anyone to see her tears.
But those trembling shoulders said it all.
Chan'er hurriedly handed over the handkerchief, "My Lady, please don't cry. It's not good for your health."
Wang Decai was also afraid that something might happen to the heir in his belly, so he spoke carefully, "Madam Zhaopin, please don't think too much. The emperor's heart is actually with you."
That was all he could say. "The Emperor has asked you to accept it, so I will go back first."
As soon as Wang Decai left, Bai Wutong's expression returned to normal. After the test just now, she was sure that there was definitely something fishy about the emperor's favor for Wen Ruyun.
Otherwise, Wang Decai wouldn't have looked like he wanted to say something but hesitated. There was obviously a deeper meaning in his words.
As the emperor's personal eunuch, he knew a lot.
Serving the emperor is like serving a tiger. Wang Decai is a shrewd man and will never speak without thinking or give casual advice.
So the emperor's heart must still be with me.
