After Wu Xiyu heard the news that Concubine Wu was grounded, she was completely stunned.
Aunt Zhong was also greatly frightened. She didn't believe it would be like this, so she went out to inquire about the news.
After repeated confirmations, we found out that the imperial concubine was indeed banned by the emperor.
She returned to Wangqiu Pavilion in despair. Seeing Wu Xiyu still sitting stupidly, she cheered up and comforted her: "At this critical moment, Liangyuan can't be messed up. The emperor usually dotes on the imperial concubine like that. This time, he must be angry."
Your Majesty's feet. When the Emperor's anger subsides, your Majesty will be free again."
The imperial concubine is deeply loved by the emperor. She has been in the harem for many years, but how can she be shut down at will? I think there is some misunderstanding in this.
Wu Xiyu had returned to normal at this time, and she forced herself to calm down: "I'm not messing up. But from now on, we still have to be careful. The Crown Prince..."
Xiao Ce doesn't like the imperial concubine's aunt, and she has such a close connection with the imperial concubine's aunt, so how come Xiao Ce likes her?
She suddenly wasn't sure whether Xiao Ce didn't touch her after she became the princess in the book because she refused to sleep with her, or because Xiao Ce didn't want to touch her because her aunt was there.
She tried hard to recall the daily life between her and Xiao Ce after she married into the East Palace in the book, but since the author rarely described how they got along, everything could only be guessed.
Could it be that Xiao Ce in the book actually doesn't like her as the heroine?
Otherwise, how could Xiao Ce let her and Zhao Yu leave the palace so easily?
Thinking of this possibility, her limbs stiffened and her heart became cold.
If everything was her own fault and Xiao Ce didn't like her at all, then wouldn't it be a joke for her to go to the East Palace and make herself a good wife?
No, that's not the case. Xiao Ce loves her deeply and she can no longer think wildly.
"Liangyuan?" Aunt Zhong noticed that Wu Xiyu was absent-minded and suddenly increased her voice.
Wu Xiyu woke up from a dream. She looked at Aunt Zhong and forced a smile: "What were you talking about just now?"
"Do you want to go and intercede with His Highness the Crown Prince?" Of course, Madam Zhong's heart was towards Concubine Wu. After all, she was the master who had served her for decades.
At present, only Liangyuan can speak in front of His Highness the Crown Prince.
"What Mammy said is ridiculous. Normally it is difficult for me to meet His Highness the Crown Prince. Today there is a misunderstanding between His Highness the Crown Prince and the Concubine's aunt. If I interfere at this time, it will not only make His Highness the Crown look down on, but also cause trouble for the Concubine's aunt.
Especially the emperor is the one who issued the imperial edict, and only the emperor can lift the ban. Do you understand, grandma?" Wu Xiyu said seriously and sincerely.
Aunt Zhong knew that Wu Xiyu's words were reasonable, but at this moment there was a voice in her heart saying that Wu Liangyuan was so cold-blooded and it was in vain that the imperial concubine took care of everything for her.
When the incident happened to the imperial concubine, Wu Liangyuan had no idea of standing up for the imperial concubine.
How chilling would it be for the imperial concubine to know this?
"The imperial concubine has always loved liveliness, so you must be uncomfortable with her being confined to Jinyang Palace, right?" Aunt Zhong became increasingly coldhearted as she spoke.
She really wanted to return to serve the imperial concubine, hoping to have someone to talk to when the imperial concubine was sad.
As for Wu Liangyuan, she is of no great use. What Wu Liangyuan values most is Luoxia, not her, the old man next to the imperial concubine.
Seeing Aunt Zhong walking away, Luoxia came to Wu Xiyu and said, "Auntie won't blame Liangyuan for not speaking to His Highness the Crown Prince for the noble concubine, right?"
A coldness flashed in Wu Xiyu's eyes: "There's nothing I can do to blame her. I'm in such an embarrassing situation and I can't help myself. How can I help my aunt?"
She even felt that this was just the beginning.
Xiao Ce couldn't tolerate the imperial concubine's aunt, nor could he tolerate the Wu family, so he took frequent actions after returning to the palace.
And she is also a member of the Wu family. How can she have status in the heart of His Royal Highness?
She couldn't sit still and wait for death. The only thing she could do now was to establish a good relationship with Qin Zhao, because Qin Zhao was valued by Xiao Ce and she had to learn from Wang Liangyuan to have a foothold in the East Palace.
Apart from that, she couldn't think of any better way.
Thinking of this, she looked at Luoxia and said: "Prepare a generous gift and come with me to Wangyue Residence. Sister Qin has been banned for a long time, and she finally got the ban lifted. No matter what, I have to go visit my sister."
"Yes, Liangyuan." Luoxia responded and left.
She quickly picked out a gift. When the two masters and servants left Wangqiu Pavilion, they did not see Aunt Zhong, which saved trouble.
In the Wangyue Residence, Baoyu was telling Qin Zhao the news that Concubine Wu had been grounded. He was frothing at the mouth: "Concubine Wu also has this day, she deserves it!!"
"The biggest mistake that Concubine Wu made was that she took herself too seriously and underestimated His Highness the Crown Prince. Concubine Shu is the biological mother of His Highness the Crown Prince, and His Royal Highness the Crown Prince is also the crown prince. How could she allow another concubine to humiliate her biological mother like this?
"It's not surprising that Concubine Wu ended up like this." Qin Zhao replied quietly.
At this moment, Baoyuan came in to report that Wu Xiyu was here.
"Let her in." Qin Zhao looked lazy.
Baoyu took a peek at her master and found that since she left the palace and came back, Liangdi had not only become more beautiful, but her temperament was also different, and her every move was attractive.
If a woman sees it, she will only be jealous, and if a man sees it, he will want to possess it, right?
At this time, Wu Xiyu came in accompanied by Luoxia. She saluted Qin Zhao immediately. When she raised her head and saw Qin Zhao's face clearly, she couldn't help clenching her fists.
In front of her, Qin Zhaoqiong has a straight nose, her skin is like frost and snow, and she has a healthy and attractive luster. She is leaning lazily on the back of the chair, looking delicate and weak, and people can't help but take a few more glances.
She didn't see Qin Zhao last night. She only heard everyone say that Qin Zhao had become more beautiful. But only when she saw Qin Zhao's face up close did she know how shocking this "beauty" was.
It's like he has become a completely different person, completely transformed.
Even though she was very confident in her beauty, she had to admire her at this moment. Qin Zhao's face was indeed beautiful, and it was the kind of beauty that would make people want to scratch her face.
Qin Zhao saw Wu Xiyu staring at her face, and the corners of her lips curved slightly: "Why do you sister look at me like this?"
"Sister is so beautiful. I was dumbfounded for a moment." Wu Xi said in a sincere way.
Qin Zhao touched his face: "No matter how beautiful you are, it's just like that. It's just that this time of confinement does allow me to take care of myself. Otherwise, I don't know when I can take good care of my body."
This is also thanks to the encouragement of Concubine Wu and Wu Xiyu. Without these two vicious women, she would not want to change for the better.
Wu Xiyu was vomiting blood in her heart, but she still pretended not to care on her face: "My sister is a noble person, so she has such good luck, which makes her envious."
