Chapter 42 Yu Ying'er Appears

In fact, it was not a big deal to find six eunuchs. Just reward them with some money would be enough. After all, Su Peisheng heard with his own ears that the emperor was talking about "talented palace maids."

But the problem is that there are now five maids of honor.

The eunuch in front of him asked the maid, "What should we do now?"

The waiter glanced at Su Peisheng and said, "Master, on New Year's Eve, it is a custom to cut branches of flowers and offer sacrifices to the gods in Yimei Garden. Why don't I go and ask who took on this task last night?"

There are tens of thousands of people who know the second half of the poem, but not many of them did so in Yime Garden last night.

Xiaoshazi's proposal may not be unfeasible.

But Su Peisheng did not accept it, "There's no need to go through so much trouble."

"Master, do you have an idea?"

Su Peisheng snorted and laughed, "As servants, we should think about what our masters want most."

The little girl heard every word.

But the thing is, he still doesn’t understand how to do it?

Su Peisheng glanced at the five palace maids not far away.

There is only one person in the emperor's answer, and he cannot bring all of them to the emperor.

If all five are yes, then that means none of the five are yes.

But he had a job to do, so he had to find the smartest one.

Su Peisheng had read countless women, and Yu Ying'er was not only smart, but also the best looking one among the palace ladies.

She did not feel sorry for exchanging a line of poetry for a favor.

The Queen did not expect that this small question would stump Su Peisheng, but many people knew the poem and the matter of Yime Garden was no longer a secret.

Then she can go from venting the problem to venting everything.

Sun Miaoqing did not admit it at that time, so if she wanted to admit it later, she would have no chance.

Simply put, Sun Miaoqing spent New Year's Eve in the Plum Garden, eating white dried fruits.

Su Peisheng asked someone to take Yu Ying'er downstairs to change her clothes, and then instructed, "Use the snow water from the plum blossoms to make a cup of tea."

We must give the emperor a reason to speak.

In the Yangxin Palace, the emperor finished playing chess with Prince Guo and took the tea brought by Yu Ying'er. He smelled the fragrance of plum blossoms and took it.

He said it was on his own body.

The emperor said she looked unfamiliar with the poem, and she took the opportunity to mention the two lines of poetry, and said that she came from Yimeyuan, and was only able to serve the emperor because of the care of General Su.

Prince Guo saw the sly look between her brows and her joy when she heard that she could stay in Yu's presence. She was a palace maid, to be sure, but she was definitely not a talented one.

I was afraid of hiding in the dark while cutting flower branches and watched a good show.

Perhaps the wild cat that fled on New Year's Eve was not the "Palace Maiden of Understanding", but her.

When the emperor was leaving the house, he said, "I am too lazy to go back to the jade tower and golden palace, so I'll just plant plum blossoms and get drunk in Luoyang." Seeing her ignorant look, Prince Guo deliberately said that this was a poem by Li Bai, but she didn't notice at all.

I was completely sure in my heart.

Prince Guo left the Yangxin Palace, and the sound of Yu Ying'er singing a song came from behind him.

What does it matter whether it is right or wrong?

The emperor's happiness is the most important thing.

Yu Ying'er lived up to Su Peisheng's favor. When she first met the emperor, she was made an official lady and was granted the residence in Zhongcui Palace.

Shen Meizhuang remembered that Concubine Hua said that the incident in Yime Garden on New Year's Eve was related to Huan'er. She originally wanted to wait for Huan'er to tell her on her own initiative. She went there several times, but Zhen Huan didn't mention it.

So I just asked.

"Huan'er, tell me honestly, where were you on New Year's Eve?"

Zhen Huan was flirting with Huan Bi and was a little confused when she heard this.

"What do you mean, sister? I will naturally be in my own palace on New Year's Eve."

Shen Meizhuang didn't speak immediately.

"What's wrong?" Zhen Huan stopped what she was doing, "What happened in the palace?"

"On New Year's Eve, the Emperor went to Yimei Garden and fell in love with a palace maid. He estimated that she would be favored more and more in the future."

"She is just a palace maid. Her background is so great that even if the emperor favors her, she cannot surpass you, sister." Zhen Huan thought she was just worried about being favored less. "Don't worry, sister."

"How could I be worried about my favor?"

Shen Meizhuang didn't care about any favors. "It's just that some people said that you were the one who went to Yimei Garden on New Year's Eve, and Yu Ying'er just took your blessing and had the opportunity to be favored."

Even though Concubine Hua dislikes Huan'er, Shen Meizhuang still doesn't want to see Concubine Hua and Huan'er become enemies.

“My lot?”

This really left me speechless.

Zhen Huan smiled helplessly, "I have been ill for a long time and have no favors. I didn't go anywhere on New Year's Eve. How could she claim the blessing? Sister, did you hear it wrongly?"

As God is my witness, Zhen Huan didn't even think of leaving Sui Yuxuan.

Shen Meizhuang saw that Zhen Huan didn't seem to be lying to her, so she nodded.

“Maybe.”

After all, I was sitting far away, so it is possible that I didn't hear clearly.

"It's good that it's not you. You haven't recovered yet. If people knew that you went to Yimei Garden, they would spread rumors and say that you deliberately seduced the emperor. Then your peaceful life would be ruined. That's still a small matter. I'm afraid there will be other troubles."

Shen Meizhuang really cares about Zhen Huan.

"Thank you for reminding me, sister." Zhen Huan put down the ball of thread in her hand, shook Shen Meizhuang's hand, and smiled at her, "The harem is in turmoil and my sister is unable to help, so I have to be more careful myself."

Shen Meizhuang nodded again.

"Nothing else matters." Zhen Huan glanced outside. "Ling Rong has been in the palace for such a long time, but she has never slept with me. If this maid were to be favored, she would probably be unhappy."

Shen Meizhuang looked thoughtful, "I don't think so."

"Sister, what did you see?"

"I don't think she cares that much about the emperor's favor, but..."

"What is it?" Zhen Huan asked curiously, "Lingrong hasn't come to my place recently. Is she feeling unwell? If she is, I have to go see her."

"No."

"That is... He Gong Changzai..."

Shen Meizhuang shook her head. She just couldn't figure An Lingrong out.

"Lingrong has been to Yikun Palace since the New Year. Whenever she has time, she goes there to talk with Concubine Hua. She rarely goes anywhere else."

Ever since she was able to come to Yikun Palace to pay her respects during the New Year holidays, she no longer wanted to call herself Sister Zhen, Sister Mei, Sister Gong, or An Lingrong.

He was only looking for an opportunity to meet Concubine Hua in Yikun Palace.

If for no other reason, it was just because I could see Concubine Hua and always hear a few words from her.

For example, in her previous life, she had been trying to please others all her life. What others could get with a bracelet, she had to practice hard and try her best, but she was still always treated as a pawn and a toy.

Never been cherished.

The sisters stabbed me in the back. Even though I was happily helping them solve their problems, they talked about me behind their backs, saying that I was cruel and had ulterior motives.

Just because they have better family backgrounds and because they are the protagonists, I have to become a supporting role.

If you spend your whole life trying to please others but do something wrong or say something wrong, you will be guilty of a heinous crime.

Even the lowest-ranking maids and eunuchs in the palace could bully her at will.

Villains should stay with villains.

This time, An Lingrong chose Nian Shilan.

To take sides, one needs to show a pledge of allegiance. Concubine Hua said that in her previous life, she used a box of perfume powder to abort the child in Noble Lady Fucha's womb, thus officially tying herself to the Empress.

So this time, she also bravely gave it a try -

"I, your concubine, have something important to report to your majesty. Please, your majesty, dismiss the attendants."

An Lingrong suddenly knelt down and knocked her head to the ground.

[Is there anything else that I would never know even if I were to be reborn? ]

Nian Shilan knew that Xiaoniao was always meticulous, so she glanced at her and became curious.

She left Songzhi alone and asked everyone else to leave.

"Go ahead~"
