Chapter 168: Memorize the Palace Rules
Yanwan had been waiting for a long time, but unfortunately, neither Ruyi nor Concubine Jia took any action.
These two women, one was busy memorizing the palace rules, which she memorized for two months in one go, and then performed in Changchun Palace by reciting them fluently; the other was busy seducing the emperor and successfully got promoted to Concubine Jia.
Today's Jiapin is truly charming and bright, but she knows when to advance and when to retreat, and is sensible about the overall situation. Except for being against Ruyi, she is kind to everyone else. Even the palace maids praise her for being beautiful and kind.
After Ruyi was able to move around, she immediately started competing for favor.
However, her way of vying for favor was different. She wore bright and fresh clothes and went everywhere to meet Hongli.
Yan Wan let it all go, she knew that Ruyi was a very evil woman. Not only was she tough and had a hard time dying, but she could also always make the emperor bewildered.
Sure enough, in the early morning of that day, when it was still light, Jinzhong came over quietly to take a look at her. He was originally planning to say a few words to Chunchan and then leave, but Yanwan had a light sleep and woke up at the slightest sound of his voice.
"Why don't you come in? Are you in a hurry to go back?"
Jinzhong was unwilling to let her wait in vain, so he went back immediately: "Why did you wake up so soon, Master? Or did you not sleep well?"
Yan Wan wanted to stand up, and he helped her up smoothly, and then leaned the soft pillow against her back, with a little anxiety in his fox eyes: "I will ask Zhang Yun and Li Zhe to think of a solution."
Yan Wan looked at his thin face and said softly, "I haven't been sleeping well since I came back. Don't bother Doctor Zhang and Li Zhe anymore. They both said that they have been losing a lot of hair recently and are taking medicine to treat it."
Jinzhong's mouth twitched slightly, and a hint of displeasure flashed across his fox eyes: "How dare you talk nonsense to Master Ling about anything!"
Yan Wan held his hand: "What's the hurry today?"
Since that day, he would sit by the bed and accompany her whenever he had enough time, but today he came and left in a hurry, and if she hadn't been alert, she wouldn't have known he had been there.
Jinzhong lowered his voice and said, "Yesterday, the emperor was drunk, and that woman pulled the emperor to bed, and this morning she was named Concubine Xian."
Yan Wan raised her eyebrows, and gently stroked Jin Zhong's bony hands with her white fingertips. She said in a light tone: "It's only a matter of time. With such an opportunity as ours, we have to be careful when facing her evil nature. Conferring her the title of Consort... I expected it a long time ago."
Although she said she had guessed it, her fingers couldn't help but tightened around Jinzhong's hand.
She is really jealous.
She has devoted herself to climbing up the social ladder for two lifetimes, and is now making great progress, but it is not as useful as the evil nature of that woman, Ruyi.
The emperor fell ill again after just a nap.
Jinzhong hurriedly coaxed: "My dear Lord, please don't be angry. Concubine Xian is not that easy to deal with. The Emperor has been avoiding her everywhere recently. She has wasted four old maids just to meet her. I recently saw Hai Da Ying and she couldn't even smile."
Yan Wan's mood instantly brightened up, and she laughed happily: "She is really like that, using such an important chess piece as toilet paper, and throwing it away after wiping."
After saying this, he was shocked to realize that he had said a swear word in front of Jinzhong, and his eyes suddenly became evasive.
Jinzhong was also stunned. Seeing her become shy like a little girl, he felt that she was really cute.
He endured it for a moment before closing his big hand and gently holding her fingertips, not daring to reach out to touch her cheek.
He was really afraid. He was afraid that if he really reached out his hand and she didn't refuse, he would go crazy and do anything. By then, would he be able to cover it up like he did now?
He could endure anything just thinking about the possibility of being discovered, which would put his master in an irretrievable situation.
Jinzhong said softly, "Just take good care of your pregnancy and give birth to the Ninth Prince safely. Even if you give him to Concubine Mei, you will still be the Ninth Prince's biological mother. Only then can you truly gain a firm foothold."
Yan Wan took his hand and placed it on her belly: "What if it's a daughter?"
It wasn't the first time Jinzhong touched her belly, but every time, he got very nervous: "It's fine if it's a daughter. The emperor will like the princess too."
Yan Wan looked into his beautiful fox eyes and asked, "What about you? Do you like a son or a daughter?"
Jinzhong swallowed his dry throat, feeling a surge of discomfort in his heart. After a long while, he finally said in a hoarse voice: "I am blessed with children in this life. As long as they like your master's children, I will dare to like them. If they are unfilial, I will dare to dislike them."
Yan Wan held his big hand tightly: "Jinzhong, having me is enough for you. Blessings are always limited, aren't they?"
Jinzhong looked at her beautiful but dark eyes and couldn't help but chuckle, "You are right. It is the greatest blessing of my life to be able to gain a little favor from your master!"
How can it not be considered a blessing to have such a cause and effect to have waited for two lifetimes to get something like this?
He was reluctant to tighten his grip on Yan Wan's small hand and whispered, "I have to go."
Yan Wan let him go: "Go ahead."
Jinzhong backed away all the way to the door, stepped out, and then turned around and left.
Yan Wan leaned against the soft pillow and gently stroked her belly. When she heard Chun Chan coming over, she looked up at her and said, "She has become Empress Xian again."
Chunchan narrowed her eyes slightly: "She is so lucky!"
Yan Wan whispered, "Who said it wasn't?"
She raised her eyes and said, "It's been five months now. Zhang Yun and Li Zhe have both checked and confirmed that the fetus is very stable."
Chunchan hesitated: "Do we really need to ask the old lady to come in? What if the young prince gets hurt?"
Yan Wan sneered, "She is not willing to do that. She is so ambitious that she hopes that I can give birth to a prince so that she can become the grandmother of the next emperor!"
Chunchan hurriedly patted her back to comfort her: "Master, don't be angry. We called the old lady to vent our anger. Why did you get yourself angry first?"
Yan Wan closed her eyes, and when she opened them again, she was clear-headed. She lay in Chun Chan's arms and said, "Don't be afraid. I already have the best one. Why would I need a mother like her?"
Chunchan tilted her head to look at her expression. Seeing that she was coquettish and lazy, she really didn't care. She was relieved: "You have to be like this, not paying attention to anyone, so that I can put my heart firmly in my stomach!"
Yan Wan said coquettishly: "This palace has you, Jinzhong, the Queen, Lan Cui and Wang Chan...all in my heart!"
Chunchan touched her long hair on her back tenderly, and whispered softly: "I know that I will always be with my master."
She looked at Yan Wan's bulging belly, and a hint of cruelty flashed across her eyebrows.
It would be best if the old lady is tactful. If not, don't blame her for being cruel.
Yan Wan didn't even need to mention it herself. Within two days, Madam Wei entered the palace, saying that she was there to accompany her daughter during childbirth.
