It was pouring rain outside the window at night, thunder continued, and lightning flashed across the sky as if it was about to tear the sky in half.

The roaring wind roared in my ears, and the windows banged.

Ye Yaner stood inside the window, standing barefoot on the ground, staring at the dark night.

"Concubine, the ground is cold, please go in quickly."

Lu Zhu found a cloak and put it on Ye Yan'er's shoulders, then reached out and pulled her back.

Ye Yaner raised her head stubbornly: "Is the door locked?"

"No, I dare not forget the concubine's instructions."

It's not locked, why doesn't that person come?

She was most afraid of rainy days. Every time the weather changed, Prince Xiao would always be with her, holding her in his arms and patting her carefully, coaxing her to sleep.

The wind is so strong today, why hasn’t it taken so long?

"Did you go to Danqiongyuan?" Ye Yaner said to Luzhu, "Go and find out."

Lu Zhu glanced at the heavy rain outside the window and subconsciously didn't want to go. When she met Ye Yan'er's dark eyes, she didn't dare to refuse and nodded.

Candles were lit early in Danqiong Garden, and the doors and windows were closed. Beibei nestled in Chu Yunning's arms, listening to the story of the seven dwarfs comfortably.

"Princess, this slave just saw Lu Zhu holding an umbrella and wandering in the corridor." Bi Xiucai was soaked after going out for a while, not to mention Lu Zhu at this moment.

Chu Yunning raised her eyebrows: "Where is the prince?"

"The prince went out this afternoon and never came back. Could it be that Concubine Ye thought that the prince was with us, so she sent Lu Zhu to inquire?"

Bixiu clicked her tongue, if that was the case, then the green bamboo would be too unlucky, the umbrella couldn't cover the violent storm at all.

"Let her be."

Chu Yunning didn't care at all. Ye Yan'er's face couldn't look good for a few days. Once she took the medicine from Hanxiang Pavilion, it would cost a lot of money to maintain it in the future. She wanted to see Ye Yan'er's face.

Confidence, how long to hold on.

The next day the religious ceremony was over, and Chu'er's spiritual tablet was taken to the Jade Buddha Temple for enshrinement.

After a heavy rain, Prince Xiao's Mansion returned to peace.

The air after the rain is still mixed with the smell of earth.

There are still many small puddles on the ground, and the servants are cleaning them in an orderly manner.

When Prince Xiao returned home, there was still a lot of mud on the hem of his clothes, and his boots had long been soaked, leaving footprints on the dry ground in the corridor.

"Where's the concubine?"

Prince Xiao was the first to visit Ye Yaner.

Luzhu stood guard at the door and saw Prince Xiao. She was surprised and happy: "The concubine is inside, Prince, come in quickly."

Ye Yaner heard the commotion but didn't open her face. Her face had not recovered yet and she still needed to wear a veil.

I haven't slept all night, and the dark blue under my eye sockets cannot be covered.

"Yan'er."

Ye Yan'er sniffed, put on her veil, turned her head to look at Prince Xiao, and choked with sobs: "Yan'er wishes you well, Prince."

"Yan'er, when did we become so estranged from each other?"

Prince Xiao stopped Ye Yan'er and was about to explain where he went last night, but Ye Yan'er spoke first: "The prince is free to go wherever he goes. Yan'er is just a small concubine and has no right to interfere with the prince's private affairs.

"

Wow, a basin of cold water was pressed on Prince Xiao's head.

Prince Xiao was detained in the palace yesterday and hurried back at dawn, but he did not expect to receive such cold words.

Ye Yaner regretted her words as soon as she said them, but she was stubborn and refused to give in. She thought in her heart that as long as King Xiao said soft words again, she would forgive him.

Prince Xiao stood up slowly: "You are not in good health, don't catch a cold."

"Is the prince going to find the princess again?" Ye Yaner couldn't hold back her jealousy and asked in a voice.

King Xiao frowned.

"Your Majesty, the princess has Bei Bei under her knees. The chanting has been going on these days, and Yan'er thought of the child she had no chance to meet..."

Ye Yaner was afraid, she was annoyed that her impulsiveness would offend Prince Xiao.

So he gritted his teeth, put away his pride, and had no choice but to follow King Xiao's wishes.

Upon hearing this, King Xiao sighed and bent down again to sit down.

"Po Wen said at that time that he was also a mature boy..."

Ye Yaner burst into tears, and Prince Xiao held her in his arms distressedly: "It's all over, don't cry, I feel bad for you because you've broken your body from crying."

King Xiao has not forgotten the pain of losing two children in succession during that period.

It's just that Chu'er saw it alive, so he felt even more deeply.

"Your Majesty!" Ye Yaner threw herself into Prince Xiao's arms and cried bitterly.

Prince Xiao stayed at Ye Yaner's place for several days.

"Princess, Concubine Ye has obviously fallen out of favor, why did the prince go there again?" Bi Xiu was puzzled.

"After so many years of pampering, how can I just give up?"

Chu Yunning was not surprised at all.

When the next morning at dinner, Prince Xiao appeared holding Ye Yan'er's hand, Chu Yunning's appetite was mostly gone.

"Princess." Ye Yaner obediently saluted Chu Yunning.

She was wearing a plain long dress with only a few small flowers embellishment on the skirt. She had very few jewelry on her temples and a pair of raindrop-shaped earrings on her ears. Her whole person had a very gentle temperament.

Even the eyebrows are soft, and the slender figure is thinner than before, as if it was blown away by a gust of wind.

Chu Yunning held the tea in her hand and took a sip. She moistened her throat before putting down the tea: "I haven't seen Concubine Ye for a few days. Concubine Ye is even more frail. Is it because the people in the big kitchen are not paying attention to her?"

"Princess has misunderstood. It's my poor appetite that has nothing to do with the people in the kitchen. Princess, please don't punish innocent people because of Yan'er."

Ye Yaner regained her usual yin and yang aura.

After Prince Xiao sat down, he pulled Ye Yan'er to sit down, with a rather pleased smile on his face: "It's rare that Yan'er is willing to come out and walk around, and the princess takes care of this house in an orderly manner. I am so lucky."

Chu Yunning rolled her eyes, she didn't want to be one of them.

Watching the two of them quarreling with each other, they simply didn't notice. He picked up the handkerchief and wiped the corners of his mouth: "You two enjoy it slowly. I have to check the shops outside today. I am very busy, so I won't have much time to accompany you."

Just at this time, someone was sent from the palace to see who was the Grand Duke next to a noble person in the palace, and there were several young eunuchs following behind him.

Chu Yunning's eyelids suddenly twitched violently.

"Princess Xiao, this servant is asking for Ganoderma lucidum from you at the behest of Concubine Xia."

Concubine Xia?

Chu Yunning had no impression of this person at all, so why did he have the nerve to open his mouth and ask for Ganoderma lucidum?

"Princess, Concubine Xia is the emperor's new title. She is loved by all. You'd better take out the Ganoderma lucidum and don't make it difficult for the prince."

Ye Yan'er was the first to agree on behalf of Chu Yunning: "Don't worry, father-in-law, the princess is virtuous and will never embarrass father-in-law."

The father-in-law who announced the decree smiled and said: "Thank you so much, Concubine Ye."

Chu Yunning raised her eyebrows. The Ganoderma lucidum belonged to her, so why did Concubine Ye agree to be a good person for her?

"Princess?" Father-in-law Xuanzhi cleared his throat and reminded: "The imperial concubine is still waiting for our family to return."

This posture does not mean to give her any money.

A stranger shows up and asks for her Ganoderma lucidum. How big is his face?

Chu Yunning glanced at the proud smile in Ye Yan'er's eyes, and instantly guessed something.

"Princess, you shouldn't be reluctant to part with Ganoderma lucidum, why do you take money so seriously?"

Ye Yaner was gloating about the misfortune, but she didn't believe that Chu Yun would dare to withhold the Ganoderma lucidum.

Then she would have offended Concubine Xia and would not get any good consequences.

Chu Yunning smiled: "It's not that I'm stingy, this Ganoderma lucidum is really rare. I originally planned to give it to the Queen Mother..."

Ye Yaner didn't believe this: "Why have I never heard the princess mention it before? A corner of the Ganoderma lucidum plant has been cut off and given to my aunt. How could the princess give the incomplete piece to the Queen Mother? Did the princess say this on purpose because she didn't want to give it to Concubine Xia?

?”

As soon as he finished speaking, Eunuch Xuan's expression changed immediately.

"Is the princess deliberately trying to embarrass the noble concubine?"

Chu Yunning didn't take this noble concubine whom she had never met at all, and said with a smile: "Father, this Ganoderma lucidum is divided into three parts. One part has been sold to the eldest princess, and I want to honor the Queen Mother. The remaining part

No matter how much money the Concubine Xia spends on buying Ganoderma lucidum, I won’t take any money from it and will donate it all to the national treasury.”

"You!" Mr. Xuanzhi's expression suddenly changed.
