Chapter 133 Bad Luck
"Your servant Yu Ying'er pays homage to Her Majesty the Concubine Shu!"
There was obvious joy in the greeting voice, and Yu Ying'er must be living well in the garden.
"Get up quickly!"
"You came to me, but what difficulties did you encounter? If I can help, I will definitely not stand idly by."
An Lingrong took the initiative to bring it up.
Yu Ying'er secretly raised her eyes and saw the pregnant Concubine Shu looking at her kindly. She was overwhelmed with emotions.
Ever since she could remember, she knew that only she could help herself.
Therefore, when she first met Concubine Shu in Yime Garden, she tried her best to perform in order to stand out.
Later, he received a lot of rewards from the Empress based on some information he had obtained.
She was able to live so comfortably in the garden thanks to the things given by the Empress.
This time I came to pay a visit to the Heavenly Palace, just because I heard that the Concubine Shu was pregnant with twins, so I came to talk about the incense and family.
Unexpectedly, the queen not only remembered her, but also came up to her and asked if she needed any help.
Yu Ying'er replied gratefully.
"Thank you for your concern, my lady. Everything is fine."
She thought about it again and again and reported what she had recently discovered.
"Your Majesty, the Third Prince came to see the Fourth Prince a few days ago. I wonder what they talked about in the study, but the usually good-tempered Fourth Prince immediately sent him away."
"And he ordered the gatekeeper not to let that gentleman in from now on."
"Also, I overheard the Fourth Prince asking his personal servant to keep an eye on Concubine Wan's movements at the Bitong Academy."
"Okay, I understand."
An Lingrong gave Baoque a look and handed over a very ordinary purse.
"Miss Yu, take it and have some tea."
Yu Ying'er quickly declined, "I heard that Your Majesty had come to the garden, so I came to pay my respects. I have no other intentions."
In her opinion, even if the two pieces of news were not reported, the Queen would be able to find out through other channels.
There were so many palace maids in the garden who praised the Empress highly that she was afraid of being left behind, so she rushed over in the dark the day before the Empress entered the garden to pay her respects.
Seeing that Yu Ying'er was really refusing, Baoque changed her purse.
"Miss Yu, there are some summer-heat-relief balls in here. You've been busy all day, so they should be useful."
The pills were indeed what the palace people urgently needed. This time Yu Ying'er did not refuse. She kowtowed three times to express her gratitude before leaving.
After sending the person away, Baoque continued to massage the empress's legs.
"Your Majesty, Yu Ying'er is tending to the flowers and plants in the Fourth Prince's garden. She can walk around freely at any time."
An Lingrong understood Baoque's meaning. Ninety percent of what Yu Ying'er reported was true.
"Let our people keep an eye on the Fourth Prince and Hongshi."
She guessed that Hongshi, who was adopted, must be trying to ask the emperor to change his mind.
After all, a prince is much more noble than a prince's heir.
More importantly, Hongshi had lived in the Queen's care for some time before, and she didn't believe that the Queen would be willing to give up the chess piece she had invested so much effort in.
An Lingrong was right. At this time, the Queen of Taohuawu received a stack of "Book of Filial Piety".
"Hongshi is truly filial. I will definitely express my filial piety on his behalf."
Although the queen said this, she actually sneered at the simple-minded Hongshi in her heart.
"Jianqiu, please copy Hongshi's calligraphy and some Buddhist scriptures."
As soon as everyone arrived at the garden, the queen asked everyone to rest for three days before paying their respects.
The diligent emperor would not let himself be idle, so he left Bitong Academy early in the morning.
"Aunt Jinxi, why didn't the emperor wake me up when he got up?"
Zhen Huan, exuding a lazy air, asked softly.
"Your Majesty, the Emperor feels sorry for you and has instructed this servant to let you sleep a little longer."
Upon hearing this, Zhen Huan stroked her belly and expressed her gratitude for the emperor's thoughtfulness.
"Help me wash up."
The garden had been meticulously built over nearly twenty years, and every step revealed a new scene. She wanted to take a look around.
Before Zhen Huan left the house, she saw Liu Zhu coming in with a grim expression.
"Liu Zhu, what's the matter?"
"My Lady, Concubine He is here and crying outside."
In fact, Huanbi also came over last night, but was driven away by Cui Jinxi on the grounds that the queen had to accompany the emperor.
As soon as the sun rose, he ran to the outside of Bitong Academy and cried.
Liu Zhu couldn't bear it anymore, so she welcomed the person in.
It is unlucky for a stranger to cry in your home.
It is obvious that Zhen Huan and Cui Jinxi are both very sensitive about this.
Cui Jinxi asked in a low voice, "Your Majesty, when I came here yesterday, I saw willows by the lake."
"Aunt Jinxi, please come back soon."
Hanging a few willow branches tied with red or yellow silk threads at the door or window can drive away bad luck.
Zhen Huan, her heart pounding, wanted to find peace of mind.
Huanbi waited outside for a long time but didn't see her elder sister. She waved to Baizhi anxiously.
"Why hasn't Sister Wan gotten up yet?"
"This slave doesn't know."
Aunt Jinxi was very wary of He Changzai and had privately warned them many times not to tell her about the Empress's affairs.
After hearing several "I don't know" from Baizhi, Huanbi finally couldn't help but walked directly into the inner room.
"Sister Wan, I'll help you get up."
"He Changzai, the queen is putting on her makeup, please go out and wait."
When Liu Zhu saw Huanbi coming in uninvited, her face changed and she immediately drove her away.
Huanbi, who was already in a bad mood, burst into tears when she saw Liuzhu, who had always given in to her, treating her like this.
"Sister Wan, look at Liu Zhu..."
"Huanbi, I am not dressed properly and cannot entertain guests. Please wait outside."
Huanbi's tears aroused the anger that Zhen Huan had suppressed in her heart.
About a quarter of an hour later, Zhen Huan, who had packed up, walked out of the door with the help of Liu Zhu.
She slowly ate the bird's nest porridge sent by Shen Meizhuang and spoke softly.
"Huanbi, you came here so early in the morning, what's the matter?"
"Sister Wan, Rou Ying from Xinghua Village is so arrogant. I greeted her with good intentions, but she hit me without knowing what was good for her."
Huanbi complained with great grievance.
"Zhongcui Palace didn't hit me in the face, but they completely ignored our Suiyuxuan."
"Sister Wan, you were so kind to Concubine Chun in the past."
Zhen Huan knew that Huanbi's words were false, and pointed at the palace maid outside the door.
"Bai Wei, can you tell me what happened at that time?"
Huanbi looked at Bai Wei nervously. This was the palace maid assigned to her by her elder sister. She wondered if she would be on her side.
In fact, Huanbi was worrying too much. When she decided to come to Bitong Academy to complain, Fubao had already scolded Bai Wei.
"Reporting to the Queen, our young master just asked about Concubine Chun who lives in Xinghua Village, and Rou promised to attack her directly."
As for how to greet him, she didn't say a word.
Huanbi was in the room, so Zhen Huan didn't dare to ask any further questions, so she could only give a perfunctory answer.
"Huanbi, when I see Concubine Chun, I will definitely ask about this matter for you. If we are right, I will definitely not sit idly by."
"Thank you, Sister Wan."
Concubine Chun is recuperating from illness and cannot go out. If you want to see her, you will probably have to wait for some time.
Huanbi decided to do something beneficial to herself before her elder sister found Concubine Chun.
