So he didn't doubt Zhu'er's words at all. Just as Yan Fu was about to go in, he was stopped by Zhu'er:
"Your Majesty must have not rested yet, as you are so exhausted. You might alarm Her Majesty. Your Majesty should rest for a while, and then you can meet Her Majesty at the celebration banquet tonight."
Only Zhu'er dared to say such disrespectful words. Even Lindong couldn't help but look at her a few more times. After all, the person in front of her was the emperor. She must be fearless to dare to despise the emperor so openly.
But Yan Fu liked people like Zhu Er to serve Qiao Yu, so he did not blame her. Instead, he thought that if he did not dress up properly, he might offend Qiao Yu. Thinking of this, Yan Fu said:
"When your queen wakes up, have the imperial physician examine her again and tell them that I have visited her."
Yan Fu did not directly expose that the other party had deliberately stopped him. After all, it was his fault that the incident had caused the two of them to become so distant.
Before leaving, Yan Fu met the eldest prince Yan Chenan who came to pay his respects. Although Yan Fu had never seen this prince whom he disliked, he could tell from his service.
So he walked past him with big strides, with no intention of stopping at all.
Yan Chenan did not hide his disgust for his father, the emperor, whom he had never met, nor was he overly sad. After all, the emperor was not the only one in the palace who did not want him to be born.
So Xiao Chenan let the other party pass by him without hesitation. He just bowed respectfully and patted the dust off his knees with an expressionless face.
When it came to the celebration banquet, all the ministers, their wives and even the emperor and empress were there, but Imperial Noble Consort Lan was still nowhere to be seen.
Only she could do such a bold and outrageous act without losing her head. Chen Fuwei, who was completely helpless, heard Yan Fu order the servants, "The Imperial Noble Consort is still not feeling well, so there's no need to come specially. I'll go see her later."
"promise."
Just as Yu Yuanting was about to leave, he heard the eunuch calling out:
"Noble Consort Lan has arrived—"
The woman was wearing a yellow Bixia Luo dress embroidered with phoenixes, and a pink smoke gauze skirt that dragged on the ground. A peony flower was inserted diagonally in her wind-blown bun and mist-covered hair. She really had a bit of the following: her dark eyebrows were blooming like distant mountains, and her green hair was thickly stained with the scent of spring smoke.
Yan Fu's eyes were drawn to Qiao Yu. He had rarely seen Lan'er wearing bright clothes before. She looked much more beautiful and charming than before, which made him obsessed with her.
The ministers and ladies present were not only surprised by the beauty of the Imperial Concubine, but were even more shocked at her being so spoiled by her favor that she was so bold as to wear clothes with phoenixes embroidered on them. However, apart from Su Yu's faction and the Queen's faction, no one was dissatisfied with Qiao Yu.
The Su Yu faction was waiting for their leader to impeach Imperial Concubine Lan for her disregard for the law as they had done in the past, but their Lord Su's eyes were almost fixed on the Imperial Concubine.
The look of disbelief and shock seemed to penetrate the other person, and for a moment it was hard to tell whether his look showed more love or hatred.
How could it be her... How could it be her!
