Chapter 121 Thanks
After hearing the news from Ying'er, Ke Da Ying could no longer sit still and rushed to Chuxiu Palace.
It was not until she saw Ke agreed that Concubine Ying finally let go of her worries and quickly pulled her into the inner hall to discuss.
By this time the two men had learned their lesson. While they were talking inside, they sent someone to guard the door closely so that if anyone came they could inform them in time to avoid a big setback like last time.
After listening to Concubine Ying's words, Ke Ying frowned and said, "Are you sure it was Concubine Ling who helped us, not the Empress?"
She originally thought that the seemingly kind Queen Mother would come to her rescue, but unexpectedly, it was Concubine Ling who helped them.
"This is what Ying'er, who is right beside me, said. How could it be false? Besides, Concubine Ling called her at the gate of Yongshou Palace. If you don't believe me, just ask a passing palace maid. Sister, I have just entered the palace and I don't know anything. In your opinion, what should we do?"
"The Empress Mei is on good terms with her. Who knows if she wasn't the one who secretly instructed her to do this? Even if she wasn't, the Empress Mei is making things difficult for us because of her... But after so long, the Empress has shown no intention of helping. This..."
Ke agreed with hesitation, she still didn't dare to completely trust Concubine Ling.
It seems that the Empress is unreliable, what about Concubine Ling?
Is she really a reliable person?
One is the Empress who sits firmly in the harem but doesn't care about worldly affairs, while the other is the Emperor's favored concubine who has her own grievances. Each of them has their own shortcomings, and it is still a bit difficult to choose a side.
"But now, apart from the Empress, Concubine Ling is the most favored in the palace. How can we make a breakthrough by ourselves? We need someone to help us in front of the Emperor to resolve our current predicament!" Concubine Ying was very anxious, and tears welled up in her eyes.
She had arrived in the capital in July, and now it was already October, and she still hadn't served in the emperor's bed. She was considered one of the least favored people in the palace. She couldn't stand the thought of people looking at her with either mocking or inquiring eyes every time she went out.
It was different from what I had imagined in my dream. In this palace, without the emperor's favor, it was difficult to gain a foothold in front of others just by relying on your family background.
If it is really as the emperor said, and he waits until after the New Year to put up the green card, then she will really become a laughing stock that everyone in the palace can step on.
You know, a new concubine entering the palace should be favored by the emperor within a month at least.
Seeing her so anxious, Ke Yi's heart softened, and he quickly comforted her: "Now is a time of trouble. Let's wait and see, take one step at a time, and see if this Concubine Ling is someone who can get along well with. If the Empress is not worthy of your support, then it won't be too late to surrender to Concubine Ling..."
"If we rush over now, not only will we offend the Empress, but Concubine Ling will also think that we are fence-sitters, rushing to curry favor with the Empress because she thinks she is unreliable..."
Even if Ke promised to no longer dislike Concubine Ling, it was a fact that Concubine Ling helped them.
She didn't know if she was truly as kindhearted as everyone in the palace claimed, or if she was just pretending to be virtuous. At this point, she could only wait and see, and make a decision when there was no other way out.
They will go to whoever is good to them and can bring them benefits.
Ke promised that he was more insightful and cautious than Concubine Ying.
After hearing this, Concubine Ying's originally flustered mood calmed down.
Yes, she was too impatient.
When it comes to taking sides, you should always be careful and cautious. If you are not careful, you may end up dying without a burial place.
If not for herself, she should also think carefully about the Mongolian Bahrain tribe behind her.
Concubine Ying nodded in agreement, "Then I'll listen to you, sister. However, since Concubine Ling has helped us, we must thank her in person. If you have time in the next few days, please come with me to Yongshou Palace."
Ke nodded in agreement: "Okay, I'll do as you say."
A few days later, Yan Wan agreed to go with Huan to visit the Eleventh Prince. After returning, Lan Cui, who was at the door, saw them and went forward to greet them and whispered, "Your Majesty, Concubine Ying and Concubine Ke have agreed to come today. As you instructed, I have left them in the side hall for tea while you return. Do you wish to see them now?"
Yan Wan nodded and signaled her to welcome the person to the main hall.
She knew that the two would come to express her gratitude in the next few days, so she deliberately instructed the people in Yongshou Palace that if anyone came to visit while she was away, they should keep them there and wait for a while.
As soon as Yan Wan returned to the palace and sat down, Ying Guiren and Ke Dan came over under the leadership of Lan Cui to pay their respects.
As soon as they saw Yan Wan, they both bowed obediently and saluted. This well-behaved look was much more pleasing than their arrogant look at the beginning.
"Greetings to Her Majesty the Concubine Ling, thank you for rescuing me."
"Thanks to Empress Ling Fei. This is the thank-you gift prepared by Concubine Ying and me. I hope Empress Ling Fei will not dislike it." Ke agreed and invited the people waiting outside the hall to come in, introducing them carefully.
Yanwan nodded, very satisfied with their current respectful appearance.
Sure enough, the wild horses on the grassland have to be trained by humans before they learn to be friendly.
Yan Wan loves to kill people and destroy their hearts in everything she does. If it's just pure revenge, that would be too much fun. Don't they hate me for always trying to curry favor with others? Then, I'll just train them to be the person I hate the most.
There is nothing more tragic than watching yourself slowly become the person you once hated, but being powerless to do anything and silently bowing to fate.
Ke agreed and two young eunuchs came out from behind him, carrying an object covered with red silk in their hands.
After the eunuch put the thing down, Ke agreed to lift up the red silk on it, revealing the appearance of the thing.
A stone carved pomegranate ornament.
The bright red color on top seems to be bloodstone, and the branch and fruit stalk on the top are inlaid with gold. The pomegranate itself is not bright red, only the cracked part of the peel and the round belly of the pomegranate have a bright red base color slowly flowing, and the rest are all rich orange-yellow colors.
The vibrant red is eye-catching, like a stream flowing through a valley. The vibrant background is like blood surging through a vein, alternating with the surrounding orange and yellow hues, creating a perfect balance of light and dark.
This touch of red does not look abrupt or scary, but instead one can vaguely sense the vigorous and surging vitality in it.
This thing is quite novel.
