Chapter 9 No problem, she can't see
There was a loud noise.
Bai Wutong pushed open the window and asked, "What's going on outside?"
Lian Xin trotted forward, looking gloating, "Your Majesty, the Emperor has sent Concubine Gao back!"
She covered her mouth and said, "It was sent back intact. It seems that the emperor didn't even touch it. I have never heard of a concubine being sent back by the emperor. I am afraid she will be the biggest joke in the harem in the future."
"How do you know so much?"
"Oh, it was that little eunuch who told me."
There has never been a fool in this palace, so how could anyone say such a thing casually?
Gao Jingwan is the master and the eunuchs are the servants.
If a servant talks nonsense about his master, the punishment could be either a big or small one, at the very least a reprimand, or at the worst he might even be beaten with a stick.
"You repeat the eunuch's exact words, word for word."
Lian Xin didn't understand, but she still obeyed and told the story. "When Lady Gao was carried back, the eunuchs made quite a commotion. It seemed that one of the eunuchs twisted his foot and almost made Lady Gao fall. I wanted to watch the fun and didn't dare to get close. Unexpectedly, a eunuch saw me and asked if I had seen a spike of corn. I started chatting with him."
"He said that Concubine Gao entered the palace, but the Emperor had not finished reviewing the memorials, so he had her sent back. The total time was less than an incense stick, not even enough time to take off her clothes."
Bai Wutong raised the corner of his mouth. Under the moonlight, his face became even more delicate and charming. "Go back and have a rest. You don't know what to do. Don't gossip outside. If you offend Lady Gao, don't blame me for not reminding you."
She closed the window and lay down in the warm bed.
That little eunuch was definitely not just chatting casually. I'm afraid the emperor had specially arranged for him to say that.
Gao Jingwan was sent back intact, which shows that the emperor really cares about her.
Bai Wutong took out a sachet, looked at the raccoon pattern embroidered on it, and carefully put it against his chest, "Father, Mother, I am going to start my revenge for you."
"Just wait and see. I will definitely let you see the imperial concubine being stripped of her muscles and skin!"
"What she did to you, your daughter must repay you a hundredfold!"
Morning time.
The sky suddenly became bright.
Bai Wutong came out with a basket and picked flowers and morning dew in the courtyard.
These are the things she needs for daily maintenance of her body, and it is best to keep them fresh.
The main hall was no longer as flamboyant as before and was now extremely quiet.
It seems that what happened yesterday was a big blow to Gao Jingwan. She might not be able to face people in the next few days.
This way, I can get some peace and quiet.
White sycamore mixes flowers with morning dew and places in the shade.
Lian Xin brought warm water, "My Lady, wash your hands."
"What day is today?"
"My lady, today is the seventeenth day of the month."
"Seventeen, what a good day." Bai Wutong wiped his hands and said, "Bring me the honey milk cake I made yesterday."
"Your Majesty, what do you want this honey milk cake for? It's left over from overnight. Your Majesty should not eat it. It's bad for your throat." Lianxin asked as she brought the cake.
Bai Wutong casually plucked a few petals, sprinkled them on the cakes, and put them into the food box. "I'm going to Yongshou Palace. You stay here and keep an eye on Gao Jingwan. Chan'er, come with me."
Lian Xin pouted, "My Lady, why don't you let me accompany you to Yongshou Palace?"
"You are responsible for guarding Lanxin Pavilion." Bai Wutong handed the food box to Chan'er, "Let's go."
Yesterday, the Emperor ordered people to carry Gao Jingwan back, and the news will definitely be passed back to the Empress Dowager's ears.
The candidate for heir that the Queen Mother now values most is Concubine Gao.
Given the Empress Dowager's anxiety, how could she not look for the Emperor?
…
On the way to Yongshou Palace, there are green willows, pavilions and towers scattered around, tree branches extending over the walls, and if you listen carefully you can hear the chirping of insects and birds.
Chan'er followed Bai Wutong carefully, looking at her slender waist and thinking it was very beautiful.
She is a new maid in the Imperial Household Department. In the eyes of outsiders, she is not smart enough. She usually does things in a very disciplined manner, is not good at sweet-talking, and does not know how to flatter others.
After being in Lanxin Pavilion for so long, she and Bai Wutong have never spoken more than a dozen words.
She looked at the food box and finally couldn't help but speak, "Your Majesty, this... this is overnight pastry. If the Queen Mother sees it, it would be a crime of disrespect."
Bai Wutong turned around to look at her, raised his delicate eyebrows, "It's okay, she can't see it."
This pastry is actually for Fubao.
Seeing Chan'er hesitant to speak, Bai Wutong chuckled, "Okay, don't be afraid, I have my own plans. Do you care about me?"
Chan'er hurriedly bowed, "Your Majesty is my master, so I naturally care about you."
"Don't be afraid. I'm just chatting with you. You don't have to be so reserved in front of me in the future. Just remember to do whatever I ask you to do. Don't ask too many questions and don't be curious."
The two of them arrived at Yongshou Palace one after the other.
The Emperor hadn't arrived yet, and the Queen Mother was alone, half lying on the couch, sulking.
When she learned that Bai Meiren had come, she frowned in disgust and said, "No, let her go."
The nanny covered her wide sleeves to prevent the gold leaves from falling out. "Madam, Lady Bai specially made honey milk cakes. Fubao really likes them."
When Fubao, who was lazily sitting next to her, heard this, he immediately pricked up his little ears and rubbed the empress dowager's hands with his fine fur.
"Look at you, you are such a loser. You start to act like a spoiled child when you hear about food." The Queen Mother felt a little better. "Forget it, for Fu Bao's sake, let Lady Bai come in."
Bai Wutong walked into the hall with her graceful figure, kneeled down and saluted, "May the Empress Dowager be blessed with good health. I made some honey milk cake today and would like to send it to you to have a taste."
The Queen Mother touched Fubao from time to time and said, "Look, you didn't make this for me, you made it for Fubao. Everyone in the palace knows that Fubao's favorite thing to eat is honey milk cake. I thought you were a thoughtless person before, but now it seems that I was wrong."
Bai Wutong immediately knelt down and admitted her fault, "Please forgive me, Queen Mother. I did have my own little thoughts. Fubao is my lucky star. Without it, I would not be able to enter the palace. I love him even more."
Seeing that she had a good attitude in admitting her fault, the Queen Mother did not want to be criticized, "Get up, Fubao hasn't eaten yet, so you can serve him some honey milk cake."
The queen mother really doesn't take herself seriously by letting a concubine serve the cat.
Bai Wutong suppressed the coldness in his eyes, opened the honey milk cake and fed it to Fubao.
Silence returned to the hall.
A moment later, the eunuch's sharp voice suddenly rang out, "The Emperor has arrived!"
The footsteps came from far away.
Zhang Chengyan was dressed in a dragon robe, full of momentum. He stepped into the hall and bowed perfunctorily, "Mother."
The Queen Mother opened her eyes, having long forgotten that Bai Wutong was still here. She started to scold, "Humph, Emperor, if you still care about me, why did you have Concubine Gao carried back yesterday? How do you want the people in the harem to look at me and Concubine Gao? She is the easiest to get pregnant. If she is angry about this, who will give birth to an heir?"
In the corner.
Bai Wutong smiled gently and stroked Fubao, of course, for her next life.
In this harem, she is the only one who can give birth!
