Chapter 395 "Understanding Learning"
***
There was a faint smile between Concubine Duan's eyebrows. Zhen Huan felt that there was a feeling in Concubine Duan's tone just now that she had dealt with a serious problem.
But in a flash, this feeling disappeared, and Concubine Duan still looked as gentle as a chrysanthemum.
It might be an illusion. Zhen Huan replied with a faint smile and chatted with Concubine Duan for a few words. After the tea was finished, Zhen Huan stood up and said goodbye, carrying ten kilograms of blood swallows.
Zhen Huan always felt that these ten kilograms of blood swallows were out of place in Yanqing Palace.
After Zhen Huan left, Concubine Duan stared at the direction she had left, lost in thought. She said to Jixiang, "Jixiang, I always felt that Wanpin would be my hope. However, I don't know why, from our conversation just now, I felt that this person and I would only be friends of gentlemen."
"She just lost her child. Maybe Your Majesty feels sympathy for her?" Jixiang actually couldn't quite understand what his master was saying.
"Maybe. The harem will be bustling again. Maybe she can really fulfill a small wish for me."
Jixiang didn't understand the riddle his master was talking about. In the past, Concubine Hua had made things difficult for his master, and his life had not been easy. At that time, all they thought about day and night was revenge on Concubine Hua.
But now, the master has reconciled with Concubine Hua, and is in good health. He just often sits in the yard with a worried look on his face. Jixiang has asked about it many times, but the master just sighed.
Just like now.
Jixiang was helpless and could only ask, "Master, you gave away all the blood swallows, so what do you eat?"
Concubine Duan's facial muscles twitched unconsciously: "Then don't eat it. Next time Zhou Ninghai comes to deliver something, don't say that the blood swallows are gone."
Concubine Duan now feels like vomiting when she hears the word "Yan".
Jixiang saw that the expression on his master's face became much richer as soon as he mentioned the word "blood swallow". He originally had the feeling of an immortal who was not affected by the mundane world, but now the sentimental atmosphere was gone.
Concubine Duan has become much more lively.
"Please put away the tea tray." Concubine Duan stood up and walked towards the main hall. She hadn't wanted to eat blood swallows for three to five years. She could never finish this thing no matter how much she ate.

Zhen Huan carried the ten-pound blood swallow and walked alone along the long street back to Sui Yuxuan. She had just sat for a while in Yanqing Palace and her mind was much more relaxed.
But she had a feeling in her heart that her relationship with Concubine Duan should be more than just this.
It's a strange feeling, something I've never experienced before.
Also, this Imperial Concubine Duan is truly a wonderful person. I heard that she and Imperial Concubine Hua are incompatible. She has lived in seclusion in the deep palace for many years and has been tortured by Imperial Concubine Hua a lot.
But looking at the Yanqing Palace just now, although there were few servants and palace maids, they all performed their duties. The palace was tidy and clean, and was filled with the fragrance of tea. There was no sign of being worn out and decayed.
The most important thing is that this Concubine Duan has sufficient energy and blood, and does not look like someone who has been bedridden for many years.
Zhen Huan touched the package in her hand, thinking about many things.
"My lady, it's hard for me to find you." It was Jianqiu's voice that came from behind Zhen Huan. "My lady is still sick. Let's go back."
Jianqiu took the bundle from Zhen Huan and helped Zhen Huan back to Suiyuxuan.
At the other end of the long street, the emperor, who was feeling upset because of the memorials he had received, came out for a walk. From afar, he saw the person he had been thinking about standing lonely in the distance.
The empress standing beside him followed the emperor's gaze and saw Zhen Huan in the distance. She said, "Your Majesty, I see that you seem to have lost a lot of weight due to your busy government affairs."
"It's not bad."
"The Emperor is busy with state affairs, and needs someone close to him to serve him. Although the selection is held every three years, the palace has been plagued by recent misfortunes, and the Emperor feels that there is no one he likes in the harem. It would be better to select some new people to accompany him."
As Jin Xi left, Zhen Huan's figure gradually faded from sight, but the emperor still did not take his eyes off her.
The queen looked at the emperor's infatuated look and felt funny in her heart.
In the past, I was just worried that Zhen Huan looked too much like my sister, and I felt uncomfortable whenever I saw that face.
So I never want her to have an easy time.
But now think about it, the emperor said he loved my sister deeply, but how deep could his love be? Now he is deeply in love with another woman.
Deep love is worthless.
You don't need to share the imperial power of the man in front of you to get it.
Listening to the Queen's suggestion, the Emperor remained silent for a long time. After a while, he said, "Wanpin lost her foetus, and the Queen Mother was heartbroken and ill. I am already exhausted and have no time to think about the selection of concubines.
Although Concubine Fucha gave birth to a princess, the lack of male offspring in the harem was a source of worry for the Empress Dowager.
The Queen suppressed her nausea and continued to console him, "I only hope that the Emperor will be happy."
"I am happy, not just because I have more women to serve me. These women must not only be obedient and sensible, but also understand me, understand me..."
The emperor paused.
"But don't understand too much, just enough to be able to talk to me."
"I don't like knowing too much or not knowing enough."
The Queen resisted the urge to roll her eyes. "I understand. Has Concubine An been attentive in serving the Emperor lately?"
"She is kind and gentle, always docile, but she doesn't quite understand many things I tell her."
Queen: It’s good enough that someone is willing to serve you, but you are still picky.
"I understand. I will comfort Wanpin and help her resolve her worries."
"I understand. I have something else to do, so I'll go back to the Yangxin Palace first. You don't need to follow me."
"Farewell, Your Majesty." The Queen bowed and for the first time did not watch the Emperor leave. She turned around and went back to Jingren Palace.
"Your Majesty, do you really want to persuade Concubine Wan on behalf of the Emperor?" Jianqiu asked.
"There are thousands of ways to provoke someone, but persuasion is the most useless." The Queen curled her lips into a smile. "Has there been any movement from the Guarjia clan, who brought news from outside the palace earlier?"
"Her father and Wanpin's father served together in the Censorate, and I heard they had a very good relationship."
"Really? Then let Guaerjia's father follow Zhen Yuandao and work hard to make political achievements. Maybe her daughter's wish will come true." The queen stepped into Jingren Palace.
"Yes, the servant understands."
The queen was extremely speechless. Sometimes she wanted to understand, and sometimes she didn't. Even if she understood, she couldn't understand too much.
If we search all the noble ladies in the capital, it is estimated that there is 0 who can satisfy the emperor.
Or we can just dig my sister out of the imperial tomb and see if this "learned" sister can understand it.
The Queen regretted it so much today that she felt like her intestines were turning green. She should have spared her sister's life so that she could see how the Emperor truly loved every woman he met.
