Chapter 195 Yu Rao's Thoughts (Part )
During this period, because of the Third Prince's affairs, the Emperor didn't like to set foot in the harem, and he rarely asked someone to sleep with him.
Ying promised that because of the Third Prince's anger, she would no longer be favored by the Emperor. Although she was not sentenced to death as in the drama, she was ultimately forgotten in a corner of the Forbidden City.
In the palace, those who curry favor with the powerful and change their attitude according to the situation are the most powerful. In the past, Ying Da Ying was favored by the emperor because she tried her best to curry favor with him. But today, the emperor ignored her and it was all a thing of the past.
The emperor even treated the imperial edict from the concubine as if it did not exist, and Ying agreed to remain the concubine.
The promised allowance was pitifully small, and it was difficult to live on just the allowance.
Huimin took care of her privately so that Jiang Caiping would not have a hard time.
But who is proud of this?
Huanbi is one of them.
Jiang Caiping, who competed with her for favor, was disliked by the emperor. Ye Lanyi had a bad temper, and the emperor liked people who were obedient and docile recently.
Then Huanbi appeared.
The emperor has recently become more and more fond of women who come from low-ranking families or are former palace maids.
Such women are more obedient to the emperor, unlike the daughters of aristocratic families who are too arrogant in nature. The emperor has felt uneasy about this in recent days.
Huanbi was born in a humble family, was gentle in nature towards the emperor, and looked somewhat like Zhen Huan. These characteristics hit the emperor's heart just right.
The emperor repeatedly summoned Huanbi to accompany him and sleep with him, and she was also diligent in going to Suiyuxuan.
After all, Suiyuxuan also has the beautiful Zhen Yurao.
The more he couldn't get it, the more the emperor wanted it.
My heart is itching just thinking about it.
But Zhen Yurao was hesitant.
Her pride does not allow her to be a substitute or to be hypocritical, but the current situation of the Zhen family and her responsibilities push her forward.
She is the daughter of the Zhen family. She has enjoyed the resources of the Zhen family and shouldered the expectations of her parents.
Now that her eldest sister is gone, she has to support the family.
But Zhen Yurao only felt disgusted with the emperor.
In recent days, the emperor has been disheartened by his son's affairs, so he has placed more of his emotions on what he believes to be beautiful and worthwhile.
Speaking of these, Chun Yuan is the only one who can be identified. However, now that Chun Yuan is gone, Zhen Yurao, who looks similar to Chun Yuan, has become an excellent substitute.
The emperor wanted to get closer to her and get her more and more.
Zhen Yurao was very annoyed, but she couldn't anger the emperor, so she could only try to please him when he came, at least she didn't give him the cold shoulder.
But Zhen Yurao was so annoyed that she came to Chengqian Palace to find some peace and quiet.
She also confided her thoughts to Huimin. In the past few years, Zhen Yurao in Ningguta sent messages to Huimin in this way, and received enlightenment and care from her.
Now she is struggling with this matter. Her parents are not around and her only relative is Huanbi. But Zhen Yurao doesn't even have to think about it, she knows that Huanbi must be asking her to hold on to the emperor. If she reveals some of her inner hesitation, she will only be greeted with ridicule.
Huanbi has already given up on herself, so there is no reason for a beloved young lady like herself not to think about the Zhen family at all.
Zhen Yurao came to Chengqian Palace with something on her mind.
At that time, An Lingrong came to see Jing'an off, and Xia Dongchun came to pick up Hongxi and Jing'an to go to Chuxiu Palace.
Today, Xia Dongchun agreed to show them his wood carving skills.
The little ones were waiting eagerly. Xia Dongchun was very skillful and the things she carved were lifelike. Xia Dongchun had previously given Huimin a Saker Falcon that she had carved herself. Hongyao liked it very much and often played with it when he was a child.
Honghan also saw a wooden carving of a little lion in his mother's place. It was not carved so delicately, but was also very cute, and its nose was different from those of the other lions.
Honghan liked it, but his mother didn't let him touch it and just placed it in the study.
I don’t know why her mother set up a study room since she doesn’t like reading.
But the more his mother prevented him from touching her, the more Honghan envied her.
Unexpectedly, her mother was willing to show off her skills this time, which made him very happy.
Hongxi and Honghan wanted to learn, but they were too young, and Xia Dongchun was afraid of hurting them, so he just let them watch.
As for Jing'an, she is learning embroidery and needlework from her mother.
I've been feeling very depressed during this period of time, so I'm very happy to have something interesting happen.
She also insisted on going to see the wood carvings, and An Lingrong had no choice but to agree to her request.
This time it was agreed that An Lingrong would send Jing'an to Chengqian Palace, and Xia Dongchun would come to pick up the two children. Unexpectedly, they ran into Zhen Yurao.
Xia Dongchun snorted coldly. Another one trying to climb up the social ladder. Does Concubine Xian accept all cats and dogs?
After Zhen Huan left, Zhen Yurao came. The people in the Zhen family are really annoying.
Xia Dongchun looked unhappy, and An Lingrong was also in a bad mood.
Sister Min assists in managing the six palaces, so it's normal for Zhen Yurao to come to Sister Min if she has any problems, but isn't there Concubine Jing who also assists in managing the six palaces?
Concubine Jing is still supporting Longyue, so for Longyue's sake, she must help her a little more.
It is because I see that Sister Min is kind that I come here to bother her all day long.
An Lingrong knew very well what Zhen Yurao was thinking.
An Lingrong's expression remained unchanged, but she felt unhappy in her heart.
The three of them gathered at the gate of Chengqian Palace, forming a three-legged tripod.
Zhen Yurao bumped into these two people. Although she knew that Xia Dongchun didn't like her, she had no choice but to salute.
"Greetings to Madam Chaopin and Madam Anpin."
Xia Dongchun ignored her, but An Lingrong started calling out.
It would not be good to make things difficult for Sister Min at the gate of Chengqian Palace.
Moreover, Xia Dongchun had the confidence to ignore Zhen Yurao because the emperor had the impression that she was straightforward and a little spoiled, but her so-called true nature was very much liked by the emperor.
But she is obedient and submissive in front of the Emperor and cannot go against his wishes. Recently, the Emperor likes Zhen Yurao very much, An Lingrong thought.
As for Zhen Yurao, An Lingrong didn't know what Sister Min's plan was. She glanced at Xia Dongchun and saw that she only knew how to throw tantrums and didn't even think about whether Sister Min intended to use Zhen Yurao for her own benefit.
My mind doesn't work all day long.
Xia Dongchun looked at An Lingrong's eyes and couldn't understand it, so she frowned.
Was he signaling to go first and give Zhen Yurao a warning?
Hey, this An Lingrong is full of tricks, hiding behind me.
However, Xia Dongchun smiled and said that she really wanted to meet Zhen Yurao.
As long as I don't go too far, when Sister Min asks about it, I will just put the blame on An Lingrong. This was An Lingrong's instruction.
Xia Dongchun also knows where this degree is.
Xia Dongchun was eager to try, like a happy husky, staring at Zhen Yurao who was about to be tormented.
"Miss Zhen, why come to Chengqian Palace instead of staying in Suiyuxuan? Concubine Xian is busy with palace affairs and you don't have much friendship with her. If it's a trivial matter, you might as well go to Concubine Hui. She is on good terms with Concubine Wan, so it won't be considered a bother if you bother her."
Zhen Yurao just found it funny when she heard this. This concubine didn't know that she had been communicating with Concubine Xian for many years. She regarded Concubine Xian as a sister and a friend, but she was mocking her here. It was really...
She has beauty but no scheming at all.
