Chapter 82 Old Matters Revisited

In the blink of an eye, another month has passed.

The concubines counted on their fingers how many times the emperor had come to the harem this month, but there was good news one after another from the front court.

First, the civil unrest in the west was suppressed, and then the army returned to the capital.

General Shen, who led the troops, returned to the capital before the main army to meet the emperor. The emperor was very happy and held a banquet in the palace to welcome him.

On the second day, General Shen was appointed as the leader of the imperial guards.

There was a new noble in the court.

Before the situation in the court became clear, the influence of this new noble had already spread to the harem.

Shen Cairen, who had been unknown until then, was named a concubine after General Shen's triumphant return and suddenly became very popular.

Everyone knows that with such a brother, Shen Danying might become a beauty tomorrow. Even if she is a concubine, the position of noble concubine is just around the corner.

With her so eye-catching, Yun Qin was soon forgotten.

The main reason is that many people think that she has been forgotten by the emperor. After all, she is just a little palace maid with a little beauty. Without the blessing of her mother's family, she is no different from a piece of duckweed or a piece of willow catkins in this palace and can disappear without a trace in an instant.

Even Lady Su was busy paying attention to God's promise. Without her causing trouble, Yun Qin seemed to have completely fallen silent.

Yun Qin, who the outside world thought was in a "miserable situation", was actually very comfortable at this moment.

She was holding a snack in one hand and fanning herself with the other, leaning leisurely on the pillow and listening to Rong Xin reading the letter from Ajing.

"...You should pay more attention to Yunqin's temper. Every time I think of her, I always worry..."

"She's worrying for nothing!" Yun Qin wrinkled her nose and snorted, snatched the letter from Rong Xin's hand and took a look, then snorted again, "This Ah Jing is getting lazier and lazier. How come all the letters were written by Nanny Ruan? How dare she say these things to Nanny Ruan!"

The smile on Rong Xin's face did not change, but her fingers unconsciously grasped the hem of her clothes on her knees.

Yun Qin did not delve into it. She read the letter again and said to Rong Xin with a smile, "Madame Ruan really loves her."

"Of course." Rong Xin also nodded with a smile.

Yun Qin reached out and picked up the box from under the table, and said to Rong Xin, "I prepared these for Ah Jing, don't forget to give them to the messenger later."

Rong Xin knew what was inside. There were some gold melon seeds that the emperor had given her before, some jewelry that were not too special but exquisite that she had exchanged with others, and some rare little things, all of which were collected bit by bit by Yun Qin.

She looked at Yunqin who turned around to get pen and ink to write a letter to Ajing, and couldn't help revealing a bit of sadness in her eyes.

"I have to talk to her and ask her to practice her handwriting. She can't be afraid that her handwriting won't look good and not write letters herself. If she has any little secrets of her own in the future, she can't let Nanny Ruan write for her."

Yun Qin laid out the paper while mumbling something, and when she looked up, she saw Rong Xin looking at her with sparkling eyes.

"Sister, what's wrong with you?"

Rong Xin quickly turned around and wiped her eyes, then turned back and smiled at her, "Nothing, I just remembered the way you two quarreled in the past. That scene seems like it happened in the last lifetime."

Yun Qin's nose was sore because of what she said, and she complained: "Why are you saying these things..."

"Don't cry, ancestor. It's my fault. It's my fault." Rong Xin quickly handed the handkerchief in her hand to him. "Hurry up and write a letter to Ajing. If you dare to cry, I will tell Ajing. She will definitely say that you are a crybaby."

Yun Qin wiped the tears that had flowed down her chin and snorted heavily, "Let me complain about you first. I want to write that Rong Xin cries more and more now. She is a real crybaby."

"Don't write!" Rong Xin pretended to be angry and tried to snatch the pen from her hand, but accidentally splashed ink on Yun Qin's face.

She was stunned for a moment, and looking at Yun Qin's painted face, she couldn't help but burst out laughing.

"elder sister!"

Yun Qin was so angry that she dipped her finger in ink and was about to smear it on Rong Xin's face.

"Good sister, good Aqin, I didn't mean it, I really didn't mean it!"

"I don't care!"

After a while of quarreling, both of them fell exhausted on the couch, looking at each other and couldn't help laughing.

"If this were in my hometown, I would take a picture of my sister like this and show it to Ajing. She would definitely laugh out loud." Yun Qin said, wiping the tears from her eyes.

"Shoot?" Rong Xin was a little confused.

Yun Qin shook her head and said, "Nothing." But there was a hint of loneliness in her eyes.

Rong Xin was already used to her wild ideas, so she didn't think much about it. She just smiled and said, "You should think about it. Who of us will go out to get water later?"

Yun Qin was stunned for a moment, then hugged herself and shouted, "I'm not going!"

"It's not up to you!"

In the end, Yun Qin was defeated and was grabbed by the collar and thrown out of the door by Rong Xin. She could only go to fetch water with her face covered with cloak.

Seeing her like this, everyone in Chunxi Palace was talking about it. She couldn't stand being forgotten by the emperor and her brain was not working well anymore.

Yun Qin rolled her eyes upon hearing this.

——

A few days passed in the blink of an eye.

Just as Shen Danying's three fires were burned out, Lady Su suddenly thought of Yun Qin again and sent someone to say that she wanted to see her.

After Yunqin went to the palace, she brought up the old matter again.

"You really don't consider my previous proposal?" She seemed to have regained her composure and said to Yun Qin, "You have to understand that in this situation, if I don't help you, the emperor won't remember that there is such a person as you!"

Yun Qin was naturally unmoved. She just looked at her with clear eyes without saying a word.

"This is the last chance I give you, you are so stubborn!"

Seeing that Yunqin still didn't say anything, Lady Su laughed out of anger, "Okay, okay, Yunqin, don't regret it!"

After saying this, she immediately realized something, and sure enough, she saw a half-smile on Yun Qin's face.

Lady Su's face twisted for a moment, but she did not attack Yun Qin like she did last time. Instead, she said coldly, "Get lost!"

Although Yun Qin showed no concern on her face, she was alert in her heart, knowing that Lady Su would definitely take action next.

Sure enough, the next day Concubine Su called her to the palace again.

"My father sent some Su embroidery over. I can't wear it all by myself. You and Tinghe should go and deliver some to the Empress."

Lady Su said calmly, "There is another box of herbs. I asked my father to find them for the cough. You can also bring them to the queen. They are all expensive things. Please be careful with your hands and feet. Don't touch them or drop them!"

Ting He took the order in front, but Yun Qin stared at the box in her hand, somewhat reluctant to go.

After what happened yesterday, the more normal the Sumerians behaved, the more suspicious they seemed.

Without even a second thought, Yun Qin's body softened and she pretended to be dizzy and fell to the ground.

The box in his hand fell directly to the ground, and many medicinal herbs actually rolled out of it. Yun Qin recognized tangerine peel and other things, and it really looked like that.

"My servant, I suddenly feel a little unwell..."

Su Meiren stood up suddenly, looking at the herbs on the ground with a distressed and angry look, and she didn't look fake, "What a useless thing! Hurry up and carry the person out!"

Yun Qin was held up by Ting Shuang, but her eyes were always fixed on Lady Su. She saw that she was busy asking people to pick up herbs on the ground and didn't even look at her. For a moment, she was confused whether today's incident was directed at her or not.

Whether it was true or not, she knew in her heart that these things could be avoided on the first day but not on the fifteenth day.

Sure enough, a few days later, Concubine Su asked her and Tinghe to deliver something to the Queen Mother...
