Traveling to the ancient harem

Chapter 256: The Wronged Wang Yuan

The Hall of Nourishing Heart.

Xiu'e saw Eunuch Yu quickly bowing and said with a flattering smile, "Her Majesty asked me to come and ask if the Emperor will go to Chunjin Pavilion in the evening. If he does, Chunjin Pavilion should make preparations early." After saying that, she took out a purse and stuffed it into Eunuch Yu's hand.

Eunuch Yu was extremely disgusted. He had seen stupid people, but he had never seen anyone as stupid as this. He stuffed his purse in public. Did he think he was not dying fast enough? He winked at the young apprentice beside him, and the young eunuch immediately stepped forward and pulled Xiu'e's hand away.

"It is up to the Emperor to decide which concubine he visits. If he goes to Chunjin Pavilion, someone will naturally go and inform you." Eunuch Yu said unhappily. This Concubine Wang is really ignorant. Does she think that the Emperor will go there every day after he went there once?

Xiu'e looked unwillingly at Eunuch Yu who turned around and wanted to walk into the Yangxin Palace: "Please inform the emperor and tell him that Concubine Wang of Chunjin Pavilion is waiting for him in the Chunjin Pavilion tonight." It was her idea. If the emperor didn't go, it would be a waste to order so many dishes in the imperial kitchen.

Eunuch Yu ignored the idiot. The emperor had eaten all kinds of delicious food, so who would care about the banquet she was talking about? According to Eunuch Yu, that whole banquet was not as good as Concubine Huang's bowl of dumplings. Alas, he had only heard that it was delicious, but he didn't know what it tasted like.

The emperor saw him come in and didn't ask, but he didn't dare to hide it: "Just now someone from Chunjin Pavilion came and said that there will be a banquet at Chunjin Pavilion in the evening, and asked if you want to go."

The emperor felt irritated for no reason. Is this Chunjin Pavilion a dog-skin plaster? He stuck to it and said, "I won't go."

The Emperor can hardly remember what Concubine Wang looks like now, and this is what he cannot understand the most. This has never happened before...

Ningyuxuan.

It was almost time for dinner, and Aunt Fanghua had not returned yet. Just when Huang Ye was about to send Hongdou to find her, she came back. However, the news she brought back made Huang Ye even more worried.

"My queen, after I left, Old Xing and Old Zhang went out to find someone to inquire about this. Old Xing really found out something. Madam Yingchun, who was by the queen mother's side, went out the day before yesterday. However, few people knew about it. She went out secretly at night and left the palace with the queen mother's decree.

Combined with the clues provided by Eunuch Ma, Huang Ye knew that his speculation should be correct. The Queen Mother first pretended to be crazy and stupid, and then let the Taoist priest come forward and say that it was related to Ning Yuxuan.

Given how much the Queen Mother and Xu Rou hate her, they might give her a bad name. However, this matter needs a process to ferment, and if she deals with it in advance, there should be enough time.

"Aunt, go eat first. I have a plan for this matter, so don't worry." Huang Ye comforted her: "I asked Lung Bean to save some dumplings for you, and I will cook them for you when you come back."

Without waiting for dinner, Huang Ye sat down to write letters. The first letter was written to Qing Yuer. His subordinates were smart and experienced in gathering information. Huang Ye asked her to find out from tomorrow whether there had been any movement in the Changning Marquis' Mansion and the second branch of the Marquis' Mansion in the past two days, especially the second branch. Huang Ye felt that the old master of the Changning Marquis' Mansion was a smart man and he would not easily meddle in trivial matters in the palace.

But the second house was different. They were already very angry about being separated. If they wanted to surpass the Bo's House, they had only one way, and that was to cling closely to the Queen Mother and let Xu Rou ascend to a high position. Only then could they compete with the Bo's House.

The other letter was written to Xiao Zhao. She asked Xiao Zhao to go to Baiyun Temple, the largest Taoist temple in Beijing, at night to check if there was anything to discover. With Xiao Zhao's skills and alertness, as long as he didn't cause any trouble, he should have no problem escaping from Baiyun Temple unscathed.

Speaking of Baiyun Temple, it is the most famous and largest Taoist temple in the capital. If the empress dowager wants to gain people's trust, she has to find a more famous Taoist temple. In this capital, is there any Taoist temple that is more famous than Baiyun Temple? The empress dowager has been managing the harem for decades, so it is normal for her to have some connections outside the palace. Given the empress dowager's arrogance, she may not look down on other Taoist temples.

When it was late at night and everyone was asleep, the prince soared into the sky from the grove until he was only a small black dot visible on the ground, and then he began to fly out of the palace. This was a unique skill that Huang Ye had the prince train himself, because even if the prince flew at night he would still be too conspicuous, and only by flying high could he avoid being noticed.

I have to say that although Prince is a little arrogant at ordinary times, he is really good at work. He has mastered the ability to fly like a helicopter, which made Huang Ye and Hong Dou look at him with admiration. Even Hong Dou praised him several times. Once, Prince was so proud that he just walked with his head held high and didn't pay attention to his claws, and fell into the ditch.

The prince was familiar with Qingyu'er and Xiao Zhao's residences, so Huang Ye didn't care about it. What bothered her now was what the retired emperor yelled at her when she came back from Qiyun Palace: "Girl of the Huang family, I will call the emperor to my place for lunch tomorrow. If you want to ask him for help, come over..."

Forget it, don’t think about it anymore. Let’s deal with tomorrow’s affairs tomorrow. Huang Ye covered her head with the quilt. Her mind told her that she should please the emperor and beg him for help, but she just couldn’t get over the psychological barrier. She didn’t know why she was struggling with it.

Kunning Palace.

The main hall of Kunning Palace was still bustling today. Jealousy made Gao Meiren and Xu Rou focus their firepower on Wang Yuan. When Huang Ye entered, Wang Yuan was wiping her tears.

Huang Ye arrived a little late today. When she arrived, everyone was already there. She came in and respectfully saluted the people in higher positions. The people in lower positions also stood up and saluted her. She, as before, gently asked them to sit down.

"Sister Ye." Seeing Huang Ye, Wang Yuan felt very aggrieved. God knows, Concubine Gao and Concubine Xu had attacked and humiliated her in various ways just now. Also, almost everyone present had said something sarcastic. Even Concubine Du, who always disdained to talk, had said something sarcastic to her. If Sister Ye was here, she would definitely not watch her being bullied.

"What's the matter?" Huang Ye asked with concern. She felt that she had a talent for acting. From her concerned tone, Wang Yuan probably wouldn't be able to tell that she was late on purpose.

"You are feeling wronged because you have a backer." Xu Rou said sarcastically, "Do you think everyone is like that idiot Huang Bin, who stood up for others even after being taken advantage of? What we said is not false. You dare to say that you didn't send that bitch behind you to invite the emperor last night."

"Still holding a banquet in Chunjin Pavilion. Bah, don't you see what kind of person you are?" Xu Rou felt that she had finally vented her anger. The emperor didn't go to the banquet she held. If this bitch held a banquet and the emperor went, where would she put her face?
