The next day, Dongfang Ye was called by the emperor. He told Chu Xia not to leave Liu Yun for even half a step before going to the imperial study.
It's not that he is making a fuss, but that King An's matter has been decided on the surface, but the underlying issues have not been sorted out yet. There is no guarantee that some people will take the opportunity to cause trouble.
Move to Liuyun.
After Dongfang Ye left, Liu Yun couldn't sleep anymore, so he got up and dressed, thinking of going to see Lian Wan'er, but he didn't know how her injury was.
"This time, Empress Wan Bin was a blessing in disguise. The imperial edict was delivered early this morning. It was said that Empress Wan Bin had done a good job in escorting her, and she jumped up one level and became Rong Hua." Chu Xia went to and from the palace and knew a lot about the women in the harem.
Duo lowered his voice and said, "Although there are many cases of doting on beauties in the palace, she became Rong Hua's after half a year in the palace. This young lady from the Lian family is the first."
For some reason, Liu Yun was not happy for Lian Wan'er when he heard such words. He only felt that the relationship between husband and wife was like a superior and a subordinate. If you do well, you will be rewarded, if you don't do well, you will be punished. Everything is fine.
It wasn't out of emotion, this kind of indifference made her feel rather unhappy.
Perhaps it is the dream of countless women to become a palace concubine, to enjoy all the glory and wealth, and to become the envy of women all over the world. However, they have never thought about how to live in the palace every step of the way, and maybe even end up dead. People are like this sometimes. It depends on what they want to see.
, and ignore those things that should be known.
"Is the high-ranking concubine position what she wants?" Liu Yun was confused for a moment. Does a woman really need to get a position that everyone envies?
Chu Xia glanced at Liu Yun, hesitant to speak. She wanted to tell the young lady, because there was only one Dongfang Ye in the world, and not all men were as devoted as the young master. She was lucky to meet the young master, but other women were not as good as
She is so lucky.
Smart women all know that whether in the palace or in the mansion, or even in an ordinary wealthy family, status is sometimes more real than the favor of a husband. Even if Liu Yun is unwilling to admit it, this is an unchangeable fact.
.
"I know my idea is stupid." Liu Yun laughed at himself, waved his hand to relieve Chu Xia's embarrassment, and walked forward.
Chu Xia looked deeply at Liu Yun's back. She suddenly understood why her young master had a soft spot for the eldest lady of the Mu family. They were actually the same people, the same stubborn and persistent people.
If they undermine their own principles for any reason, even if everyone disagrees with their views, they will still not change their persistence.
There are really not many people who are so pure and persistent. Most people are led by others, and how many people can march towards the path they insist on without hesitation.
The two of them walked to Lian Wan'er's palace. There were two sedan chairs and several attendants parked at the entrance of the palace. It seemed that there were two high-ranking concubines inside.
"Wan Ronghua, please invite Mrs. Dongfang into the room." The maid whispered again, "Concubine Lan Shu and Noble Lady Wu are inside."
Liu Yun nodded and entered the back room with Chu Xia's support. Lian Wan'er was leaning on the bed with a pale face. Wu Gui and another woman were sitting next to them. I think the beautiful woman in palace clothes must be Lan.
Concubine Shu is here.
"My regards, ladies and gentlemen." Because she had received the emperor's permission and sympathized with her pregnancy, she was exempted from the greeting ceremony. At this moment, she just bowed slightly to everyone and nodded as a greeting.
"Liu Yun is here." Lian Wan'er's name for Liu Yun has not changed, and he is even closer than before.
"Is Wan Ronghua feeling better?" Liu Yun behaved very generously, without any embarrassment or nervousness. Anyway, he had seen such a big battle yesterday, and today he only had three concubines left.
"It's much better." There was obvious happiness on Lian Wan'er's face, as if she was very happy for Liu Yun's arrival. She smiled at her and said, "You are pregnant, stop standing now."
, sit down."
After she sat down, Wu Guiren was the first to speak: "Yesterday, I was blind and couldn't see Taishan. I didn't recognize Mrs. Dongfang. I'm really sorry."
Although his eyes were full of reluctance, his face was full of compliments. Liu Yun secretly thought in his heart that everyone in the palace was a master of acting. This was true.
"We rarely appear in the palace, so it's normal that Wu Guiren doesn't know her." It was obviously a normal sentence, but in Liu Yun's slightly nonchalant expression, it seemed to be a bit of ridicule, mocking her background.
He is humble and cannot recognize the powerful.
Wu Guiren felt uncomfortable in his heart, but he did not dare to show it on his face, so he could only say indifferently: "The young marquis and the young lady have been in Linyang all the time. It is rare to come to the capital. This time, I have to play for a while before going back."
.”
Liu Yun raised his eyebrows slightly. This noble Wu was really interesting. She didn't care about her arrogant attitude yesterday, but she still dared to show her shame. As Chu Xia described, he was just an embroidered pillow full of grass.
She was actually very curious about how someone as wise as the emperor could fall in love with such a domineering and ignorant woman like Wu Guiren. It is said that she is still favored now, which is really unbelievable.
But having said that, compared to the other wealthy concubines she has met so far, this noble Wu is easier to see through. Maybe men need to be worshiped wholeheartedly by some women after all, even if that person is the emperor.
.
"The emperor now attaches great importance to the eldest son and the second son. I heard that he summoned the eldest son to the imperial study room early in the morning. I guess he doesn't have time to visit the capital." Concubine Lan Shu's voice was soft and soft, which made people listen very much.
Comfortable.
"Of course it's official business." Liu Yun responded calmly, not intending to continue this topic.
"I heard that the young lady and Wan Ronghua have known each other since they were children? They seem to have a really good relationship." Wu Guiren ignored her and started talking to her again.
Always feeling that there was something in her words, Liu Yun finally turned his head to look at Wu Guiren, who was speaking without thinking. He stared at her for a while, and then said, "Wu Guiren knows a lot, and he has put in a lot of effort."
.”
"What do you mean?" Wu Guiren's face turned cold. The emperor didn't like intrigues between concubines, and he didn't like people snooping around the palace. If the emperor knew that she spent a lot of energy to find out the news,
He will definitely be unhappy.
Liu Yun raised his eyebrows. She didn't mean anything special. She just wanted to vaguely remind Wu Guiren not to use his strength on her. She was just a passerby in this palace and had no intention of participating in their struggle. But if someone wanted to make her a pawn
, she will not let it go easily.
At this time, Lian Wan'er's maid came over to serve tea and interrupted their words. Liu Yun picked up the water cup and was about to drink water. Chu Xia on the side suddenly stopped her from drinking tea and calmly reminded: "Young Madam, these days
If you can’t sleep day and night, why don’t you stop drinking tea?”
Surprise flashed through Liuyun's eyes, and his eyes swept from the water glass in his hand, and then he put the water glass down, but doubts arose in his mind... Is there something wrong with this water?
