The next day, a rumor suddenly spread in the palace, saying that Wan Ronghua had won the favor of the emperor and summoned her to serve in the Qianling Palace. She went there with her confidants. After the news came out, it spread throughout the palace within a short time. Well, everyone sent people to Wan Ronghua's palace to investigate.
All the palaces got the news that Wan Ronghua was summoned to Qianling Palace. The longer time passed, the more anxious everyone became. They felt that the normally balanced situation in the harem was about to be split up. Everyone in the harem was running for their own business. Xue Guifei Palace There were people coming in and out all the time, but the queen's place was calm as usual, and the people in the palaces only felt a faint and strange atmosphere spreading in the harem.
However, the protagonist of the incident, Wan Ronghua, was actually in the Qianling Palace, but besides her and the emperor, there was also Liuyun in the Qianling Palace, which really shocked her.
The emperor's father-in-law came to pass a decree and asked her to go to the Qianling Palace. Even Wan'er couldn't figure out what he wanted to do. Everyone knew that the emperor's palace was a forbidden area for everyone in the harem, even the empress. You have to get the permission of the emperor to go there. Even the favored Concubine Xue Guifei has never set foot in a place, and she doesn't know what kind of luck it is that it happened to her.
Lian Wan'er is also a cautious person, and will not get carried away by sudden good luck. From the moment she entered the palace to be selected, she knew that she was responsible for the honor and disgrace of the entire Lian family, so she did not If she dared to take a wrong step, even if there were sharp knives under her feet, she could only go down step by step with bloody marks.
She had been with the emperor for a while and knew him to some extent. He was not such a whim person. He suddenly summoned her to Qianling Palace. He must have something to explain, so he went there. Before going to Qianling Palace, she made a special trip to the Queen's place. Because she was young and could act stupid, she managed to gain the Queen's trust before going to Qianling Palace.
At this point, Lian Wan'er is much smarter than the other concubines in the harem. Those people only care about the immediate use of the Xue family, and Concubine Xue is favored, and they are attached to Concubine Xue, but Lian Wan'er just does the opposite. She followed the path and stayed by the Queen's side. She believed in her own vision. The Emperor's trust and respect for the Queen were more important than any favor. The Emperor's favor for Concubine Xue was only temporary. He might be partial to her for the time being, but As time went by, I finally valued the Queen more.
After all, the person who calls the shots in this harem is still the queen.
In addition, Lian Wan'er believed that the queen, a daughter of a noble family, was by no means a timid person. Since her family sent her to the palace and the emperor designated her as his queen, then the queen of Zhou must be outstanding. Even if she couldn't notice it for a moment, she would eventually be able to understand it later.
Now, Empress Zhou's temperament is somewhat understood, and I have to say that she and the Emperor are indeed somewhat similar. Both of them are gentle and quiet people, neither careless nor domineering, but if anyone is really in a hurry. To defeat them, the attack would be fatal without leaving any consequences. Concubine Xue Guifei was arrogant, but Empress Zhou paid little attention to her. Of course, on the one hand, it was because of Empress Zhou's restraint that she was unwilling to argue with her. On the other hand, In the eyes of Empress Zhou, Concubine Xue Guifei was nothing more than a paper figure, and she did not feel threatened at all.
At this point, the topic strayed away again and returned to Lian Wan'er.
When she arrived at Qianling Palace, she saw Liu Yun and the emperor sitting and playing chess leisurely. She was so surprised that she froze on the spot and was speechless.
I had never heard of any personal relationship between the emperor and Liu Yun. Although I heard that the emperor valued the young marquis very much, the young lady was sitting there while the young marquis was not here. This situation really confused her.
"General." Liu Yun smiled and pointed with her jade hand, but she didn't waste any time moving the chess pieces. She only saw joy flashing between her eyebrows, "The emperor owes Liu Yun two wishes."
Originally, she should have used honorifics to the emperor and called herself my concubine, but the emperor said that Liuyun was the daughter of Mengxian and the daughter-in-law of Lord Dongfang, so she was naturally his junior, so he stopped calling himself his concubine. He also twisted when he heard it.
"Humph, you little girl got me into this. You dare to say that your chess game is not good. I think you are just here to fool me. Do you know that you have committed the crime of deceiving the emperor?" Emperor Ling blew his beard and stared, seeming a little unhappy.
"The emperor only asked Liu Yun how he was playing chess, and he didn't ask who he was comparing with. Then Liu Yun naturally compared himself with Ye. I have never won in his hands." Liu Yun spread his hands and said, Pretending to be innocent was her specialty, not to mention that she could tell at a glance that the emperor was feigning anger at this moment and was not afraid at all.
Hearing what she said, the emperor paused for a moment and snorted coldly: "Sophistry."
"Your Majesty has wronged me by saying that. If I were to tell you that I am good at chess, that would be the crime of deceiving the emperor." Liu Yun blinked, his eyes flashing with light.
Seeing her happy, Emperor Ling seemed to be a little happy. This was a feeling that was hard to explain, just like when he saw Ji Mengxian happy, he would also be happy.
"In short, the emperor has lost two things to my concubine. Jun Wu is joking. The emperor cannot go back on his word." Liu Yun raised his eyebrows with distrust on his face, which made the emperor glare. "Who said that I went back on my word?"
Being so excited by her, the emperor's promise slipped out immediately. Liu Yun naturally would not let go of such a good opportunity and quickly thanked him: "Thank you, your Majesty. I will accept these two wishes for you first."
He had known for a long time that this girl was as sinister as that boy Dongfang Ye, with a twisted intestine and a belly full of bad water. Emperor Ling was regretting it now. He really shouldn't have given this marriage to Dongfang Ye. Originally, Dongfang Ye was already enough. She's so cunning. Now that she's added to the mix, if he encounters another game in the future, I'm afraid he won't get any benefits at all.
"Your Majesty, Liuyun." Lian Wan'er walked slowly over. The maid behind her was holding a food box in her hand. Inside was the snacks that the Emperor loved. Although the Emperor summoned her this time, he didn't know why. But it was a good opportunity for her to show up. Naturally, she couldn't come empty-handed, so she had these snacks prepared.
"Empress Wanronghua." Liu Yun was about to stand up to say hello, but was stopped by the emperor. He glanced at her and then said, "You better be at peace, girl. Don't toss yourself up and down. When the time comes, you will bump into Ah Ye." You want to settle accounts with me."
Lian Wan'er was also very smart. Although Ling Emperor was somewhat kind to Liu Yun when they met before, it was very different from how he treated Liu Yun with affection now. Although I don't know why Liu Yun got the emperor's favor. Treat each other differently. Even if she and Liu Yun had a good relationship before, her coming to the capital this time could be regarded as helping her out, and she couldn't neglect it.
"What the Emperor said is that Sister Liuyun is pregnant with Liujia now, so don't worry about these false gifts." Lian Wan'er is young, and she and Liuyun are old acquaintances, so it's not like other concubines to say such words now.
It was a little more hypocritical, but it was extremely magnanimous, which made the emperor slightly appreciate it.
"Come, come and sit together." The emperor waved to her, and Lian Wan'er sat over flattered. Liu Yun smiled at her. Lian Wan'er suddenly understood that she was probably not here to accompany the emperor.
But to accompany Liuyun.
As for why she wanted to accompany Liu Yun, that was not her business.
The emperor looked at Lian Wan'er's reaction with satisfaction. Although this girl was only twenty years old, she was extremely smart. This kind of vision and composure were not found in many concubines, which he admired very much.
