Chapter 403: Concubine Rong actually likes these
It must be said that the emperor really likes Concubine Rong.
As soon as he left, he asked Jinzhong to announce the decree - to let Rongpin live in the side hall of Yongshou Palace where Yanwan lived.
Yan Wan looked at Jinzhong, then at Rongpin who was following behind Jinzhong, and Rongpin's two Han tribe maids: "..."
The Emperor really asked good questions. It turned out that he had been asking her where Rongpin lived since yesterday because he wanted her to take care of Rongpin personally.
This is called loving your beloved child!
No wonder Ruyi was so broken in her previous life!
Yan Wan looked at Jinzhong: "Does the emperor mean to let Rongpin live here forever? She is the mistress of the palace." In the previous life, a Baoyue Tower was built specifically for her.
Jinzhong smiled attentively: "Your Majesty means that Rongpin has just entered the palace and is unfamiliar with everything. Your Majesty the Imperial Concubine has always been gentle and amiable. Let Rongpin follow you first so that she won't miss her hometown."
Let me go first...there will be arrangements later.
It seems that the emperor really fell in love at first sight, fell in love at second sight, and would make a fool of himself at third sight.
Yan Wan's eyes were gentle: "Please tell His Majesty that please rest assured that Rongpin will be well taken care of."
Jinzhong bowed and said, "Then I will take my leave. We will set off tomorrow. Your Highness the Imperial Concubine and Your Highness Rongpin should go to bed early."
As soon as he left with his men, Yongshou Palace became quiet.
Yan Wan smiled and looked at Rongpin: "Let them clean up the side hall first. Sister Rongpin, come with me to my place to read a book."
Seeing that her smile was polite and not pretentious, and that she was not jealous or embarrassed, Rongpin nodded indifferently, bowed, and then walked to Yanwan's side.
Yan Wan didn't care about her expression. She took her into the house and asked Chun Chan and Lan Cui to prepare tea and snacks. She also asked them to light the candles brighter and brought some books over. "Do you like story books, strange stories, or travel notes?"
Rongpin didn't expect her to ask such a complicated question, and was stunned for a moment: "Whatever the Imperial Concubine gives me, I will look at it."
Yan Wan gave her a folk story, which was about a knight-errant whose wife and daughter were harmed by a treacherous official in the court. So he endured humiliation and pretended to be the confidant of the treacherous official, and finally took revenge and killed the treacherous official.
Rongpin was preoccupied at first, but as she watched, she was immersed in it unconsciously. When she came to her senses, half an hour had passed and the side hall had been cleaned up.
"The royal concubine..."
Rongpin only called out once and then stopped. Looking at Yanwan who was sleeping soundly with a book in her arms, for some reason, she couldn't help but reveal a faint smile.
She looked at Chunchan, signaling her not to make a sound, and quietly got off the chaise longue, and called Chunchan outside: "The imperial concubine looks very tired, I'm going back to my place first, don't wake her up."
Seeing her being so polite, Chunchan smiled back, "Madam Rong, just take a good rest. When our master gets up tomorrow, I will go and inform your two maids. It won't be too late for you to get up then. Just follow the madam out of the palace."
Rongpin knew that she was taking care of herself, nodded, and walked away.
She is not a talkative person, but she is very polite and courteous. Therefore, people will only think that she is cold-hearted instead of arrogant and rude.
Chunchan waited until she entered the side hall before going back.
When she got back, she saw Yan Wan picking out books. She said helplessly, "How come the master is still so sleepy? Ask Zhang Yuanzheng to prescribe some more medicine for the master."
Yan Wan shook her head: "It's normal for me to be unable to sleep with strangers here. I'll just make up for my sleep when I get on the carriage tomorrow."
Chunchan thought about how other people couldn't eat or sleep well because of the bumpy ride every time they went out, but her master, on the other hand, slept soundly in the moving carriage, so she wanted to laugh: "My master seems very happy."
Yan Wan smiled and said, "How can I not be happy if I can go out for a walk?"
Chunchan couldn't help but nodded: "I haven't been to Korqin yet, the prairie... must be very beautiful!"
Yan Wan thought of the Korchin grassland she had seen in her previous life. Even though she was in a difficult situation everywhere at that time and was even punished by Ruyi after returning to the palace, she had to admit that the high sky, vast clouds, and the boundless green and blue were indeed refreshing.
She chuckled and said, "I will teach you how to ride a horse when the time comes. You must learn it well."
Chunchan asked in surprise: "Can a servant learn to ride a horse, too?"
Yan Wan said softly, "If you don't learn to ride a horse, the one who will ride with me in the future will be someone else, and you can only watch from afar."
Chunchan hurriedly said: "I will definitely study hard! Learn quickly!"
Yan Wan laughed out loud: "Come, my good disciple, find a beautiful little box to pack these books and send them to Rongpin tomorrow, so that they can help you pass the time on the way."
Chunchan responded and quickly found a small box to pack the things. When she saw the titles of the books, she murmured in surprise, "Empress Rong likes to read revenge stories like this. I never thought that she, who looks calm, actually likes to read this kind of books."
She stopped muttering and turned to help Yan Wan go to bed.
She was so exhausted that day that she climbed onto the bed and fell asleep soon after.
In her dream, she dreamed that she had secretly left the palace in her previous life and was waiting anxiously in the carriage until she saw Jinzhong waiting on the road.
At that time, he was wearing civilian clothes and at first glance looked like a gangster wandering the streets. When he saw the carriage, he immediately came over and spoke to her.
At that time, she was so filled with the ambition to make a comeback this time that she only cared about nodding to him and saying a few words of greeting that she had long forgotten. But now when she thought about it, she actually remembered every expression of his at that time.
He really...dedicated himself to her.
She slept until dawn. When she woke up, Yan Wan was still a little confused: "What time is it?"
Chunchan said softly, "It's just 7 o'clock in the morning. The emperor sent a message saying that there was a palace banquet yesterday, so we will leave later today and let everyone have breakfast before leaving."
Yan Wan lay back down where she was, turned over and said, "Call me again in a quarter of an hour."
Chunchan chuckled and tucked the quilt for her, then went out and asked Lancui to watch over the breakfast and make a pot of red date and longan tea.
The sunlight lazily crept in through the window and fell on the end of the bed, interweaving with the low voices of Chunchan and the others in the yard outside, making Yanwan sleep even more deeply.
But a quarter of an hour later, she got up by herself without Chunchan calling her, sat down and closed her eyes for a while, then held Chunchan's hand and got out of bed to wash and tidy up.
After she had finished packing, she had become the lazy and dignified imperial concubine again.
"My Lord, there is news from the Yikun Palace that the lady Xian Guan tried to escape to see the Emperor last night, but was caught by Concubine Jia, who punished her and caused her miscarriage. Now she is tied to the bed again."
