Chapter 234 What Kind of Fox
Yan Wan looked at Hongli with admiration as he was thinking seriously. Her gaze especially lingered on his long raven-feather eyelashes. She thought that he was really handsome at this moment.
Of course, at this moment, she was the only one who felt this way.
Not only does Concubine Chun not think that Hongli is unfaithful, she even thinks that he is mentally ill - he is actually seriously considering the possibility of letting Ruyi share the blessings!
She forced the corners of her mouth up and then down, and when she saw Hongli looking at her, she quickly raised the corners of her mouth again: "Your Majesty, this... this is not good, right?"
She smiled cautiously and carefully: "This... this is a sorcery after all. If, if... if the superiors follow suit, what will happen? I know that you favor Concubine Xian. She has made serious mistakes many times, but you are reluctant to punish her.
But this matter, let her, a lowly concubine, borrow the luck of a high-ranking concubine... How can we know that she will get the benefits in the future and will not think of borrowing again?"
Yan Wan looked at Concubine Chun in surprise, then turned to Hongli and said with a smile, "I have to apologize to Concubine Chun. I misunderstood you before."
Hongli was interested: "What do you mean?"
Yan Wan chuckled softly, "When Imperial Concubine Xian was here, everyone said Imperial Concubine Chun was a soft-hearted person. She believed whatever others said and had no ideas of her own.
But today, the topic that His Majesty talked about was a spur-of-the-moment idea, so naturally it was impossible for someone to give him advice in advance. But I saw that what the Imperial Concubine said was reasonable, clear, and quick-thinking..."
She pursed her lips in embarrassment and said to Hongli: "I myself have been harmed by rumors, and now I also listen to others and judge them. I really feel ashamed of your teachings to me over the years, and I also let down the princess for her hard work in reading history books to me every day."
Her voice was so gentle, pure and clear, as if she was holding a pure heart to Hongli.
Hongli saw her heart and felt it was clear, clean and pure.
He sighed, "Not all rumors are groundless. Some are false, but some are true. You are a studious person, but you can't be afraid of failure and turn a deaf ear to the outside wind."
Yan Wan pondered over this sentence carefully, glanced at Concubine Chun with a look of understanding, then looked at Hongli, her eyes brightened slightly, and she said softly, "I understand."
Hongli was very satisfied: "I know you are always smart."
Yanwan smiled and grasped his big hand tenderly.
Concubine Chun at the side: "..."
She was angry and aggrieved, and she covered her chest and said, "Your Majesty, do you think I am a soft-hearted person who believes everything anyone says? Or do you think I am a traitor as Wei Yanwan said?"
Hongli glanced at her coldly, his brows slightly furrowed. "I have already said what I want to say. Why don't you go visit your good sister? Why are you staying here and making a fuss? No wonder Yonghuang is so old, but he still wants to find Concubine Xian to be his mother."
What kind of heart-wrenching words are these?!
Concubine Chun felt as if an arrow had pierced her heart: "Your Majesty, although I cannot say that I have done my duty to Yonghuang, I have taken good care of him and brought him up! Children are not kittens or puppies. Did he grow up on his own?
Yonghuang himself is an ungrateful person who can’t be tamed. Seeing that Concubine Xian was favored before and was obviously the most favored concubine, he wanted to gild the reputation of his eldest son, so he followed your example and hooked up with Concubine Xian..."
Yan Wan looked at Concubine Chun with admiration. She never expected that Concubine Chun, who was always cowardly, would be so bold.
After all these years, who would dare to say in front of the emperor that he ascended the throne by claiming that his favorite concubine recognized him as his mother?
Concubine Chun...what a close mockery.
Yan Wan didn't have time to push the quilt away, and hurriedly knelt on the bed: "Your Majesty, please calm down. Sister Noble Concubine Chun just didn't want to share the blessings with Concubine Xian, so she said the wrong thing. Your Majesty knows it, and everyone in the palace knows that Noble Concubine Chun is not very good at dealing with people."
Concubine Chun: “…”
She hated it so much.
What kind of vixen is this, to be able to say such divisive words right out of her mouth? !
She was timid to begin with, and seeing Hongli's terrifying expression, she had no time to fight back against Yan Wan. She knelt down and begged for mercy: "Your Majesty, please don't be angry. I spoke out of turn. I just... I just felt that all the hard work I put into raising Yonghuang had been wasted by him. I was too sad and angry, so I said nonsense!"
Hongli stared at him coldly, and for some reason, he suddenly wanted to kick her over.
But when he lifted his long legs slightly, he saw Yan Wan kneeling on the bed out of the corner of his eye, and all his movements froze.
He was the emperor, and although he grew up in the Old Summer Palace, in order to gain the respect of the royal father, he never dared to make any mistakes in etiquette. Even the way he walked and smiled was ingrained in him with his upbringing.
He shouldn't beat a woman like a lowly scum, especially since the woman had given birth to several children for him.
He helped Yan Wan up, patted her shoulder soothingly, and turned to look at Concubine Chun: "I have always known your character, you are timid and dare not cause trouble. You don't want to be involved in any disturbance in the harem.
But you are also very bold. As long as you are praised by others, you will immediately think that you can rise to a high position. But you have to know that the queen and the imperial concubine are not just about who is the best at giving birth to children. You also need to have knowledge and vision. And you have neither of these two things. "
Concubine Chun opened her mouth and wanted to say something, but no words came out.
She just called out "Your Majesty" in a pitiful voice.
Hongli said in a deep voice: "You have been helping the Queen deal with palace affairs recently. Perhaps because you have gained some power, you have the illusion that you are only one step away from becoming the Queen.
I will tell you today, you don’t need to think about the position of Queen, Langya is very good, even after she dies a hundred years later, you will definitely still be a concubine. You don’t need to think about the position of Imperial Noble Consort... and don’t let anyone instigate you to do something stupid for this.”
Concubine Chun collapsed to the ground, unable to believe that the emperor would say such derogatory words to her: "Your Majesty, I just don't want to share my blessings with Concubine Xian, why is it so serious?"
Hongli shook his head: "Look, even now, you still think that I think you are not good enough because of Ruyi."
He said coldly: "Take care of the palace affairs in your hands and be respectful to the Queen. If you can't do it well or don't want to do it, there are plenty of people who can do it for you. Go ahead. If you have nothing to do, go and spend more time with Ruyi. You have been 'good sisters' for more than ten years!"
Concubine Chun tried to get up several times but failed. It was her senior palace maid who mustered up the courage to help her and took her out.
As soon as the master and servant walked into the yard, Concubine Chun closed her eyes and fainted.
Yanwan tilted her head and looked at Hongli cautiously, as if she was frightened by him, but in the instant when she lowered her eyebrows and eyes, her dark eyes were filled with a cold and joyful smile.
