He stood up and sat aside, and Shunxin brought him a cup of tea.
"Your Majesty, ever since you had the little prince, you have been living alone in Yonghe Palace. It would be fine if someone else lived here, but why did the Emperor arrange for Lady Fucha to live with us?"
"This is not an easy person to deal with."
Concubine Wan took a sip of tea and whispered, "How can we question the Emperor's order? I'm not some favored concubine. Isn't it normal to have another person in the palace?"
Concubine Wan's tone was calm, but Shunxin felt a little indignant when she heard it.
But she didn't know that the emperor's favor would not be diverted in the slightest because of her grievances.
Seeing Shunxin's expression, Concubine Wan couldn't help but laugh.
"You silly girl, why are you still feeling unfair for me?"
"How come you don't know that your master, now that I have the Sixth Prince and the Empress looking after me, is not as foolish as before."
Shunxin was stunned for a moment before she reacted.
It seems that the Empress has not copied the Emperor's poetry collection for a long time.
Has it been a long time since you painted a portrait of the emperor?
However, a few days ago, I took the trouble to paint a portrait of the Empress. It is still kept in the bedroom and has not been given to the Empress yet.
Several thoughts raced through his mind as Shunxin fanned Concubine Wan and said with a smile, "Your Majesty is right. Now that we have the Sixth Prince in our palace, there's no need to worry about anything else."
"I never dared to imagine such a heavenly life before."
Concubine Wan nodded in agreement.
"That's right. When Xiaoliu grows up, he'll be able to have his own residence. When he leaves the harem, I can follow him out of the palace and enjoy my retirement. Such a life is truly rare even for a god."
He said with a smile, "The bracelet given by the one in the West Side Hall, when the imperial physician comes to check your pulse, you can quietly show it to him. If there is no problem, put it in the storeroom and don't take it out again."
"Yes, I understand. Your Majesty, please rest assured."
Fu Cha Yi Xin's pardon did not cause any waves in the harem.
Because the next day was the day we went to the Old Summer Palace.
As a deposed concubine who had just been released from the cold palace, she naturally had no right to go with them.
Without such a threat, others naturally would not pay attention to the other party.
...
The emperor was generous this year, except for Fucha, who had just been released from the cold palace, and those who had difficulty getting pregnant.
All the concubines with famous titles in the harem followed her into the garden.
As the number of people increased, the accommodation was naturally not as casual as before.
Except for a few high-ranking concubines, almost all the noble ladies below them had to live with other people.
Concubine Zhao had recently gained the emperor's favor and was able to live alone.
But somehow, he secretly went to the Ministry of Internal Affairs and finally arranged for her to live in the same residence as Concubine Ke.
The two lived together in Xinghuachun Pavilion.
Although it was my first time in the garden, the weather was already getting hot.
Qingying gave the order that everyone could go to the temple at dawn and dusk without having to visit their parents regularly, and they only had to go once every half month to check on the daylight.
The concubines naturally felt at ease.
Outside the Xinghuachun Pavilion, Concubine Zhao and Concubine Ke both left the room.
He raised his fan to block the glaring sunlight and glanced around.
Concubine Zhao smiled and said, "I heard that when the late emperor was alive, there were several vegetable gardens in front of the Xinghuachun Pavilion. In different seasons, various fruits and vegetables were grown in the gardens, which really had the flavor of a farmhouse."
"Now there are only a few pieces left, and the scenery of the past is no longer there."
Concubine Ke was also fanning herself, but seemed somewhat surprised when she heard this.
"Sister Zhao is from the Niuhulu clan, one of the most prominent families in the capital. Why would she still yearn for a farm life?"
The two had not had much interaction before, but this time they came to the garden and lived together, so they had the opportunity to talk.
However, Concubine Ke was aloof and arrogant, and she never took seriously those concubines in the palace who had some means of winning favor.
But he seemed to have forgotten that he had once delivered soup to the Yangxin Palace.
