Chapter 335 There is something I really can’t figure out
The quiet atmosphere in Lanxin Pavilion was broken.
When the two sisters heard that the emperor was coming, excitement flashed in their eyes and they hurriedly stood up.
They deliberately did not dress up too much, and were not afraid of the biting cold wind outside. They went to greet them in cool clothes.
"emperor!"
"emperor!"
The two of them called out in unison, "You are finally here! We two have missed you so much!"
After saying that, they threw themselves into Zhang Chengyan's arms like little birds, and their little hands wandered around restlessly.
Zhang Chengyan had just recovered from a serious illness and was already anxious. He was teased by them and could no longer control himself.
Beauty Yan keenly noticed his change, and was secretly delighted, with a smug smile on her face, "Your Majesty, come quickly!"
The emperor was anxious, and so were they.
It has been a long time since they entered the palace, but they have never been truly favored by the emperor, which makes them always lack confidence in doing things in the palace.
Soon, the two of them pulled Zhang Chengyan into the inner room.
That night, the atmosphere in Lanxin Pavilion was charming.
They ordered hot water twice in a row. After a short break each time, they continued to make love.
Time passed quietly until dawn broke and the first light appeared.
Zhang Chengyan looked satisfied. At this moment, he was sure that his body had not only recovered as before, but was even better than before!
All the worries in his mind were swept away and he no longer had to think about it.
Miss Lin had used up all her strength that night and was now exhausted. She didn't even have the strength to move a finger.
But she still forced herself to stand up and asked softly, "Your Majesty, aren't you going to rest here?"
"No, I have to go to the morning court later. All right, you guys have a good rest. Remember not to publicize what happened today."
As Zhang Chengyan spoke, he began to put on his clothes.
Lady Yan's expression changed slightly, and she looked dissatisfied, "Your Majesty, why don't you let me tell anyone?"
"I have my own considerations, and you don't need to ask any more questions. From today on, your house arrest will be lifted, but you must not cause any more trouble."
Zhang Chengyan didn't explain much and left in a hurry.
Lady Yan was no longer sleepy at this time, and was full of doubts, "Sister, why didn't the emperor allow us to tell this to anyone? If we don't tell anyone, then won't everyone know that we are favored by the emperor?"
Ever since their first visit to the Palace of Tranquil Longevity, they have never been favored in the eyes of outsiders.
First he was forced to recuperate, and now he is under house arrest.
If the news of the emperor's favor towards them was not spread, the other concubines in the harem would probably continue to look down on them.
Lady Lin thought for a moment, and a possibility emerged in her mind. "As the emperor is the supreme ruler, it is his freedom to favor anyone. Unless, he does not want someone to know about this."
"Someone? Is it Concubine Jin?" Lady Yan guessed.
"Hmph, she is not worthy! In my opinion, it should be Concubine Zhao!" Lady Lin sneered, "Although we will not take the initiative to spread the news of today's incident, there are other people in the Lanxin Pavilion. If they spread it, it can't be blamed on us."
The corners of Lady Yan's mouth turned up, revealing a confident smile, "Sister is really smart! Concubine Zhao is just one person, and we are two people. We will definitely be able to climb over her head soon! By the way, sister, there are rumors outside that the emperor will have difficulty in having children..."
Lady Lin interrupted her and snorted disdainfully, "Didn't Concubine Zhao also give birth to four children in one go? I'm afraid it's not the emperor's fault, but the concubines themselves. You can see that the concubines are as fat as pigs!"
In the Turkic concept, a healthy body has always been considered beautiful, and being too fat is considered a sign of laziness.
The harem of the Darong Kingdom is full of fat women, so it is understandable that such people find it difficult to conceive a royal heir.
"Empress Zhao is one of the few slim women in the palace. You see, she can give birth. So, in the end, the key lies in the figure. With figures like ours, there will definitely be no problem!"
After hearing her words, Lady Yan suddenly gained more confidence.
She held Lady Lin's hand tightly and said excitedly, "Sister, let's go back to bed quickly. The emperor favored us twice today, maybe we will get pregnant! No matter which of us gets pregnant, it will be a great thing. When that happens, let's see if Concubine Zhao dares to slap us!"
…
Zhang Chengyan thought he was acting secretly, but he didn't know that Bai Wutong found out about it shortly after he went to Lanxin Pavilion.
Bai Wutong looked at the sleeping Princess Zhaoyang and Zhang Yunyang and couldn't help but sigh softly.
"Although I had expected this, I still feel a little uncomfortable. It's not because I still have feelings for him, but because I'm worried about you guys."
If Zhang Chengyan no longer favors other concubines, Bai Wutong will not have to worry about someone getting pregnant and giving birth, which would threaten the status of her four children.
Princess Zhaoyang turned over, her chubby little face was flushed, her skin was white, tender and smooth, making people feel pity for her.
It was not until dawn that Bai Wutong fell asleep exhausted.
At noon, Zhang Chengyan came to Tishun Hall.
"Wutong, I'm here to have lunch with you."
Bai Wutong remained calm, pretending to know nothing, and immediately ordered Chan'er, "Quick, prepare lunch."
"Yes." Chan'er took the order and left.
Soon, sumptuous dishes were placed on the table.
Bai Wutong personally picked up food for Zhang Chengyan.
Just then, Yingchun came in hurriedly.
Seeing that Zhang Chengyan was there too, she swallowed the words that were about to come out of her mouth.
Bai Wutong deliberately asked: "What do you want to say?"
"Your Majesty, I'm fine." Yingchun answered hesitantly.
Zhang Chengyan frowned, somewhat displeased, "Is there anything I cannot know?"
Yingchun was so frightened that she immediately knelt on the ground and said tremblingly, "Your Majesty, I heard from outside... I heard that you favored the two ladies of Lanxin Pavilion yesterday, and I wanted to tell Your Majesty."
Zhang Chengyan paused with his chopsticks in his hand. "That's nonsense. Who told you that?"
"It was a maid from Lanxin Pavilion who spread the news everywhere."
Before leaving today, Zhang Chengyan specifically told the two sisters not to spread the news, but he didn't expect it to be spread anyway!
These two people simply didn't take his words seriously and thought this was the Turkic region and they could do whatever they wanted!
Bai Wutong slowly put down his chopsticks, a sad look on his face, "Your Majesty, is your health getting better?"
Zhang Chengyan felt a little guilty for some reason and coughed lightly, "Yes, I feel better."
"Your Majesty, I am not jealous. You can favor whomever you want. But you have just recovered. You still need to be more careful and don't make any mistakes again."
"I know..." Zhang Chengyan became inexplicably irritated.
He didn't want to explain, but he felt that it would be inappropriate not to explain.
He had never experienced such conflicting emotions anywhere else except in the court, and he had never experienced them in the harem before.
Even when he doted on Jin Weige the most, he had never had this feeling when he visited other concubines in the palace. Why was it different when it came to Bai Wutong?
"Forget it, I don't have much appetite now, so I won't eat for now." Zhang Chengyan was in a bad mood. He left Tishun Hall in a hurry without looking back.
Not long after returning to the Yangxin Palace, Jin Zhi came to the palace to ask for a meeting, saying that he had important matters to report.
Zhang Chengyan looked at Jin Zhi, his confusion growing stronger, and suddenly asked, "There is one thing I really can't figure out."
Jin Zhi bowed respectfully and said, "Your Majesty, please speak. I will tell you everything I know."
