Chapter 294 Drunk

Yunqin and Danxue were talking about gossip about Prince Rui when they saw him walk out of the palace.

His body was swaying as if he was a little drunk, and he was walking towards the corridor opposite Yun Qin.

"Prince Rui drank a little too much today." Dan Xue commented from the side.

Just at this moment, Prince Rui, who was far away, seemed to be tripped by something and stumbled. An eunuch happened to come over and supported him.

The two seemed to have a conversation there, and then the eunuch helped him walk to the back of the corridor.

This seemed normal, so Yun Qin withdrew her gaze and continued to watch the people coming in and out.

After looking at the people around and chatting with Danxue about gossip for a while, Yunqin's enthusiasm had almost dissipated, so she returned to the hall.

Not long after she came back, Prince Rui also came back.

It seemed that the alcohol had worn off a little, and the eunuch was no longer beside him.

After three rounds of drinks, the banquet was coming to an end. Everyone stood up and said some blessings, and the banquet ended.

Today is the little princess's hundred-day banquet and it is also a good day for Concubine Shen. It is natural for the emperor to stay at Concubine Shen's place and leave with her.

Yun Qin was too lazy to listen to some people's sour remarks, so she went straight to her shoulder and returned to Anlan Palace.

Although her face did not show anything, everyone in the hall was a little cautious.

Yun Qin wanted to laugh when she saw this. She was not arrogant because of her favor, but the people in her palace were used to it.

Is it true that the emperor can only come to her place? There are only a few people in the palace now. If he waits until next year to select beauties, won’t the emperor come less often?

In response, Yunqin could only say that she hoped they could adapt as soon as possible.

Before going to bed, Danxue opened the curtains, walked into the inner hall, and said to Yunqin, who had just taken off her coat and was about to go to bed:

"Your Majesty, I heard that Prince Rui got very drunk today, and the Emperor let him stay in the palace."

Yun Qin raised her eyebrows slightly when she heard this. Prince Rui didn't look like someone who had no sense of propriety. Why did he lose his composure so much tonight?

"He seemed to be sober earlier. How much did he drink?"

She just asked casually and didn't really care about it.

"My Lord, you don't know. I heard that Prince Rui's mother died in this palace." Rong Xin, who was standing by, thought she was interested, so she said, "Prince Rui got drunk today, maybe it has something to do with this."

Yun Qin was a little surprised, then suddenly realized, "So that's how it is." She looked at Rong Xin, "No way this is also..."

Rong Xin understood what she meant and nodded. "Later, it was found that it was Zhao Zhaoyi who did it. At that time, Prince Rui was younger than the eldest prince, and he witnessed his mother being poisoned to death in front of him."

This makes people gasp.

Dan Xue at the side couldn't help but say: "Prince Rui is so pitiful."

She also expressed Yunqin's thoughts, but since this was about a prince, she still said:

"Let's not discuss this matter too much."

Dan Xue nodded quickly, "I promise I won't say a word more."

"Okay, go to bed."

After Danxue left, Yunqin couldn't resist her curiosity and asked Rongxin, "I heard that Prince Rui was also blind when he was a child. Did the late emperor not punish Zhao Zhaoyi and let her continue to harm people?"

"According to the old people in the palace, although the case was finally traced back to Zhao Zhaoyi, the evidence was not sufficient. The late emperor simply picked up the case heavily and put it down lightly in the end, and did not really punish Zhao Zhaoyi." Rong Xin replied.

"What about Prince Rui's eyes?" Yun Qin asked curiously while shaking her head.

Rong Xin was also a little uncertain. "I heard that one time when he was riding a horse, Prince Rui's horse went crazy and threw him off the horse. His eyeball was poked by a dead branch and injured."

"Then how did the case eventually lead to Zhao Zhaoyi?"

Rong Xin shook her head. "I don't know about that. At that time, there were more and more memorials impeaching Zhao Zhaoyi, and then she was brought to justice by the emperor. I guess that was when the case was discovered."

Yun Qin nodded. Just a few simple sentences were enough to show how brutal the palace struggle was during the previous emperor's time.

It is really not easy for Hawking Chi to grow up smoothly.

Having satisfied her curiosity, Yunqin also began to feel sleepy.

She urged Rong Xin to go and rest so that she wouldn't have to stay here, and then she fell into a deep sleep.

The next morning.

Yun Qin got up and was washing up when Dan Xue walked in from outside.

Perhaps it was because they talked about Prince Rui last night that Danxue was particularly concerned about it.

The first thing he talked about was news about Prince Rui.

"Master, I heard that Prince Rui caught a cold last night, and this morning he had a high fever and fell ill."

Yun Qin couldn't help but raise her eyebrows in surprise, "What did the emperor say? Have you asked Doctor Yu to see him?"

"Doctor Yu has examined him and said that Prince Rui's illness is serious. The emperor has allowed him to recuperate in the palace temporarily." Dan Xue replied.

Recuperating in the palace?

Hawking was very kind to his two brothers.

Yun Qin nodded and just thought about it casually. After all, it had little to do with her, so she just let it go after asking.

After washing up and having a simple meal, he went to pay his respects to the Queen.

"Empress Xipin came really early today."

As soon as Yun Qin walked into the hall, she heard Liu Cainü say this.

Glancing at her, Yun Qin snorted and laughed, "Of course no one is as early as you. After all, we are not as free as you."

Nie Danying's departure from the palace seemed to give Fang Danying some confidence, and she returned to her old ways, "Yes, Concubine Shen is the most tired today. Concubine Xi is here, but she hasn't come yet."

The two of them didn't forget to provoke Yunqin and Shenpin.

Yun Qin ignored him and turned to the Queen and said, "Your Majesty, is it time for you to get jealous again? Why is there such a strong smell of jealousy in the palace today?"

The queen smiled, then glanced at Fang Danying and Liu Cainü. Seeing their unhappy expressions, she couldn't help but sneer.

She knew she couldn't argue with Xipin, and she didn't know what was wrong with them, but she still insisted on arguing with her.

As they were talking, Concubine Shen finally arrived.

She bowed hastily and said, "Your Majesty, please forgive me. Perhaps I was frightened yesterday. This morning, the little princess suddenly felt a little unwell. I am late."

"It's okay." The Queen asked, "Is Jinyu okay now?"

Jinyu is the name of the little princess.

"Thank you for your concern, Madam Queen. I coaxed her for a long time and she finally fell asleep."

The two "new mothers" then started talking about parenting issues.

This made Fang Dongying, who had originally wanted to mock the gathering of critics, look even uglier. After all, he hadn't even really slept with the emperor yet, so what qualifications did he have to mock Concubine Shen, who had a son and was favored by the emperor?

Yun Jing noticed that Shen Ping's face had regained some of its former radiance. It turned out that the emperor's favor was the confidence of the women in the harem.

After coming out of the Queen's bedroom, Yun Qin met the eunuch from Yuqian before she even reached Anlan Palace. He said that the Emperor wanted her to go to Yuqian.
