Chapter 229 She Doesn’t Give Up
The two of them have been getting along like an old married couple. They are extremely familiar with each other. They can know what the other is thinking with just one breath or one glance. It is so obvious, what else is there to say?
Xu Lanshan's pretty face flushed, how could she not know?
She lowered her eyes, curled her lips, and said shyly: "Your Majesty, tonight, tonight is ok..."
In fact, with the system, her body had already recovered before she left the confinement period. However, it was too early at that time, and she didn't want to compromise with him, so she didn't say anything.
He was really able to endure it and followed the imperial physician's advice.
Now is almost the time. Besides, that Du Qingzhi is back and she is so annoying. She has to have more bargaining chips.
What could be better than sexual intercourse to increase your chances of success?
"real?"
Emperor Yuan Yong was obviously very surprised.
Xu Lanshan said shyly, "If Your Majesty doesn't believe me, then forget it!"
"No, no, of course I believe it! I'm staying overnight today."
Xu Lanshan smiled sweetly: "Hmm..."
Emperor Yuan Yong was so distracted and overjoyed that he couldn't help but hug the person and make out with him again. He had to stop reluctantly until the little prince woke up and cried for his mother.
Seeing his expression of dissatisfaction but having to endure it, Xu Lanshan couldn't help laughing any longer and burst out laughing.
This smile seemed to show that she was fearless at the moment, but this petty-minded man would hold a grudge against her and would retaliate against her double and triple tonight!
In Fengwu Palace, Du Qingzhi did not see the Queen or Nanny Yan when she returned. She was received by a second-class eunuch Wu Zhong, who said that the Queen had the habit of taking a half-hour break at noon every day and had already had lunch and gone to rest.
Du Qingzhi was stunned. Didn't the Queen wait for her to have lunch? What should she do? She hadn't had lunch yet!
Wu Zhong didn't care whether she had lunch or not, and neither did the other palace maids and eunuchs in Fengwu Palace.
She had simply left without even sending anyone to say anything. Who knew if she would return for lunch? Could it be that the Empress was going to chase her? Was she going to wait for her, to comply with her will?
Isn’t it ridiculous!
Since she did not return when the Queen was having lunch, the Queen naturally assumed that she had eaten somewhere else.
Du Qingzhi couldn't say anything wrong about the Queen, nor did she have the courage to do so, but it was impossible for her to not feel aggrieved in her heart.
Having just suffered a lot of grievances and anger in Lianyi Palace, Du Qingzhi was treated coldly when she came to Fengwu Palace. She felt even more aggrieved. She pursed her lips and her eyes were red.
It's too much, they are all too much...
One day, she will definitely pay them back double what they owe her!
Du Qingzhi was naturally embarrassed to say that she had not had lunch yet - she was the emperor's childhood sweetheart, but she couldn't even have lunch when she went to Ganyuan Palace. When she went to Concubine Chen's place, the emperor also went there, but drove her away. How could she save face?
Du Qingzhi had no choice but to smile and say a few polite words before returning to his residence.
As soon as she entered the room, Du Qingzhi threw herself on the bed, tears streaming down her face. The two maids, Yunlan and Yunxiang, looked at each other in bewilderment.
"Don't cry, girl. You're finally back. The days ahead will only get better and better. Stop crying now."
"Yes, girl, if you keep crying like this, what will happen if your eyes get red and swollen?"
"You and the Emperor haven't seen each other for many years. It's normal to feel a little awkward when you first meet. It will heal naturally after some time."
"The Emperor will surely remember the time when you were with him. If the Emperor didn't have you in his heart, why would he have specially brought you back?"
"Yes, the emperor also gave you a mansion and countless rewards, which no one else has!"
"I think those people are just jealous, and they're definitely plotting something behind your back. If you're sad and discouraged, wouldn't that just play into their hands?"
“…”
Du Qingzhi slowly stopped crying, slowly sat up, and carefully wiped the tears from the corners of her eyes with a handkerchief. Although she cried very carefully, her eyes were still a little red and swollen. She couldn't leave any marks, otherwise the queen would laugh at her.
"You are right. They want to use this to attack me, but I won't let them have their way. They want to drive me away, but they are dreaming..."
Two days later, there was another visit to pay respects. This time, Du Qingzhi took the initiative to ask the queen to introduce herself to the concubines in the harem.
The queen readily agreed.
"This is Miss Du Qingzhi. She also lived in the palace before. Back then, there were no people like us in the palace! The Emperor is sentimental and has sent someone to bring Miss Du back. She will stay in the palace for a while. Everyone should get along well with Miss Du and not bully her. If anyone dares to wrong Miss Du, let alone what the Emperor will do, even if I find out, I will not forgive them. Do you understand?"
"Yes, I remember it!"
"I will follow the Queen's instructions."
The queen smiled with satisfaction and nodded: "That's good."
Du Qingzhi smiled gently and quietly, "Please take good care of me from now on, sisters. If I do anything wrong, please teach me!"
The concubines all laughed and no one said anything.
Du Qingzhi was not annoyed - the more they acted like this, the happier she should be, because it meant they were jealous!
The presence of Du Qingzhi, who seemed out of place in the midst of the greetings, made the concubines feel a little strange, but now the remaining ones were relatively honest, at least they looked honest on the surface, otherwise, they would have started to confront Du Qingzhi long ago.
Now no one confronted her, but no one spoke either, and the scene was quiet.
Du Qingzhi, however, tried to liven things up by smiling and making small talk, but unfortunately, no one responded. Only the Empress, as the head of the household, felt it was inconvenient to ignore the guests, so she smiled and responded indifferently.
The scene was awkward and pale for a while.
The scene didn't liven up at all...
After a while, the queen simply ordered everyone to disperse.
It was on this day that Du Qingzhi moved from the Queen's Palace to Jinfang Pavilion.
Looking at the Jinfang Pavilion, which was decorated so beautifully and exquisitely, Du Qingzhi was very satisfied.
Although it was the Queen who ordered the arrangements, she did not feel much gratitude towards the Queen in her heart. She was only grateful to the Emperor.
She was certain that the Queen was simply afraid of being reprimanded by the Emperor, and that was why she had to make all the arrangements so meticulously.
In this palace, the emperor is the one who decides everything.
That night, the Queen held a banquet in Fengwu Palace to welcome Du Qingzhi. All the concubines went to join in the fun and each prepared a gift for her.
However, no one in the palace welcomed Du Qingzhi from the bottom of their hearts, and the atmosphere of the banquet was not lively and was very forced.
