Wei Xiuyan's face turned pale and she said: "So, doesn't it mean that it's all in vain?"
Wei Jingxuan had calmed down, stroking her gold-embroidered sleeves, and said in a cold voice: "If you don't agree today, it doesn't mean you won't agree in the future. Why are you so anxious?" After that, she asked again: "Who does the emperor want you to pray for?"
"I don't know." Wei Xiuyan said truthfully: "The emperor wrote his name and birthday on the paper so that no one could see it. He also asked the fifth manager to watch it closely in the Nuan Pavilion, and took it away as soon as he finished praying.
I didn't even get a chance to take a look."
Wei Jingxuan nodded slightly, "No wonder the emperor asked you so many things about praying before, but... why do people pray for blessings so mysteriously?"
Mao Gui thought: "Master, could it be the Queen Mother? The Queen Mother's health has been much worse than in previous years. The Emperor is the most filial. Knowing that the second young lady has this ability, he wanted to pray for the Queen Mother and eliminate disasters."
"Maybe." As she said this, Wei Jingxuan looked at Wei Xiuyan who looked frustrated, patted her hand and said, "The future is long, and there will always be a time when you will get what you want."
Wei Xiuyan let out a long sigh and said: "The so-called future is only a month away. I'm afraid... in the end, it will still be in vain and we won't be able to live up to our wishes."
"The situation I faced back then was many times more difficult than it is today. Didn't we get through it with the same result? Remember, never give up until the last moment. This road is not easy to walk, but as long as you walk through it, you will succeed.
He is the Master." After a moment's pause, she added: "Has the Emperor said when will you be allowed to pray again?"
"The emperor left before the prayers started, and I never saw him again after that. However, before leaving the Yangxin Hall, I mentioned to the fifth manager that the prayers will take at least ten consecutive days to have any effect."
Wei Jingxuan nodded and said: "Finally, you know how to leave a way out for yourself. With these words, I believe that the emperor will send you to the Yangxin Palace again tomorrow. Remember, you must seize every opportunity to please the emperor, but
Don't leave traces on it, as it will displease the emperor."
Wei Xiuyan said quickly: "Well, I will keep my sister's words in mind."
The night passed under the continuous autumn rain. Soon, the concubines in the palace learned that Wei Xiuyan had stayed in the Yangxin Palace until the third night. Many people secretly cursed her for being charming and seducing the emperor just one day after entering the palace.
, climb onto the dragon bed.
There are also careful people who sent people to the guest room to inquire and found that the book of the guest room did not record that Wei Xiuyan went to bed. In this case, there are only two possibilities. One is that Wei Xiuyan did not go to bed; the other is that Wei Xiuyan did not go to bed but did not go to bed.
was recorded; for a while, there was a lot of speculation in the palace.
These words naturally reached Xianyue's ears without any surprise. Qi Kuan filled a bowl of lily porridge and brought it to Xianyue and said: "I sent people to the Yangxin Hall to inquire. Wei Xiuyan is indeed in the Nuan Pavilion of the Yangxin Hall.
She stayed until nearly three o'clock in the morning, but the person in the same room with her was not the emperor, but Xiao Wu."
Xia Yue's eyebrows moved slightly, she scooped up the porridge in the colorful bowl and said, "Why is that so?"
"I heard that the emperor asked Wei Xiuyan to pray for people." Hearing this, Jin Ping interjected: "How did the emperor think of this? Besides, that Wei Xiuyan, although wearing a Taoist robe, looks evil at first glance.
If you are not a serious person, how can you know how to pray for blessings?"
Qi Kuan joked: "When did my aunt's eyes turn into demon mirrors? I can see the evil spirit in other people's monsters at a glance. My aunt, please tell me, what kind of spirit transformed her?"
Jin Ping glared at him and said: "You Qi Kuan, are you deliberately trying to make me happy? We both know very well what kind of person my concubine is. Will her sister be a good person? And you also saw her yesterday.
, he is obviously in his twenties, but he looks like he is seventeen or eighteen years old,
She must have used some shady magic to keep her appearance, so she refused to reveal anything she said yesterday." As she said that, she said worriedly: "Master, although the emperor did not favor Wei Xiuyan yesterday, he kept her here.
Being in the Yangxin Hall is really not a good sign, what if..."
Xianyue understood what she meant and said: "The emperor is a wise king, and he will definitely not accept a woman who has been married before as a concubine. Your concubine's thoughts are destined to be in vain."
"Having said that, Master still needs to be on guard. Ever since I met Wei Xiuyan, I have always felt uncomfortable. It is best to try to get her out of the palace as soon as possible."
Xianyue didn't say anything, but turned around and said, "Have you done all the things I asked you to do yesterday?"
Qi Kuan hurriedly said seriously: "As for the master, everything has been arranged according to the master's instructions. As long as we find the right time, we can take action."
Xianyue nodded and said: "Okay, act as soon as possible to avoid long nights and dreams; also, be careful and don't let the Wei sisters get the handle."
"Slave, I obey." When Qi Kuan bowed and agreed, Yong Cang walked in wearing deerskin boots and saluted politely: "My son, please pay your respects to the emperor."
Looking at this extremely intelligent son, Xianyue said with a smile: "Sit down quickly. Why did you get up so late today? The porridge is almost cold."
Yongxun took the lily porridge from Jin Ping and said: "To return to the emperor's mother, today Master Zhu is going to test the disciples on their scriptures, so I got up early in the morning and read all the books taught by Master Zhu.
, how would I know that I would be so fascinated if Li Qi wasn’t there?
Bian reminded that it was almost too late, and I didn’t know it was so late.” After saying that, he ate the porridge in a hurry, got up and was about to leave, Jin Ping said quickly: “Brother Twelve, you just ate it.
This little bit is not enough, so let’s eat more.”
"If you eat any more, you will be late." Yongxun stuck out his tongue and said, "Master Zhu is the most severe person. Even if I am a little late, I will be scolded by him. I don't want to be scolded."
Saying this, he bowed to Xianyue and left quickly.
Jin Ping said anxiously: "No matter how anxious you are, you have to eat enough. Otherwise, what will you do if you starve your body? That Master Zhu is really weird. He even dares to discipline his elder brother."
Xianyue smiled and said: "If we are not stricter, how can we control these elder brothers and the clan children who are sent to study with us."
Jin Ping still felt uneasy and said: "Master, how about I send some snacks to the twelfth prince to satisfy my hunger?"
"No need, one or two hungry meals won't cause any trouble. Let the small kitchen make some snacks that Yongxing likes to eat. They will be ready to eat when he comes back." Although Xianyue regards this hard-won child as her own life
, but never pamper him, he will be strict when he should be strict, and be severe when he should be strict. Because of this, Yong Cun can be so sensible at a young age.
After ordering the palace servants to remove the breakfast, a palace servant came in to report that it was Concubine Shen and Concubine Gong who were outside asking for a meeting. Qi Kuan whispered: "The two ladies came so early, it must be because of what happened last night."
