Chapter 391 I Don’t Dare to Be Too Greedy
Looking at Hongli's nonchalant expression, Yanwan's first reaction was disbelief - she didn't believe that he did it just for the child.
If you think about it carefully, besides being afraid that Ruyi would have a difficult delivery or premature birth that might endanger her life, it was also for Han Xiangjian who was about to arrive at the palace.
She responded gently, but in her heart she was wondering about the emperor's attitude towards Han Xiangjian.
In the previous life, the emperor fell in love with Han Xiangjian at first sight. He was like a madman and ignored all rules and reasons. He just wanted to make the beauty happy.
In this life, he has learned from Ruyi about the ridiculous things he might do, and his mind is clearer than before. It is hard to say whether he will "love more deeply" or dislike Han Xiangjian.
However, considering the emperor's attitude towards beauty, Yan Wan felt that the emperor would be the former.
She said softly, "Your Majesty has been very thoughtful. Concubine Jia and Lady Xian are not in good health. Zhang Yuanzheng has been worried and has repeatedly reminded us..."
Hongli smiled and handed Yanwan an orange: "I and the Queen are always at ease with you doing things."
In the entire harem, only Yanwan put him first in everything. She never competed for favors or got jealous or vicious. She treated the children fairly and gently.
Yanwan held the orange happily, smiling so hard that her teeth were showing.
Hongli liked to see her like this and started laughing too.
Empress Fucha smiled gently and said, "The Emperor always praises her, which makes her feel energetic and capable when handling palace affairs, as if she had taken medicine."
Yan Wan blushed: "My Queen~~~"
Hongli laughed and said, "You are not here to complain to me, you are here to show off your achievements to her."
Empress Fucha handed him the peeled orange and said, "Then Your Majesty, do you think Wanwan has made any contribution?"
Hongli broke open the orange and fed a slice to Empress Fucha. When he saw her coming over to eat it, his smile deepened: "Of course there is."
The three of them laughed together.
Since he had nothing to do that day, Hongli simply stayed overnight in Changchun Palace.
Empress Fucha was in poor health, so Hongli naturally would not have any romantic thoughts about her, and Empress Fucha never had any such thoughts either. The two of them seemed like an old couple, lying together and talking about their children.
"Wanwan was so happy to be able to go to the frontier this time that she couldn't sleep and kept talking to me about Jingjue."
"Jingjing, it's really the Aixinjuelu family's Saker Falcon."
"Your Majesty, I miss her and the child she gave birth to. The child is three years old this year, and I, as his grandmother, have never met him."
"...I also want to meet Jingjue, our grandson."
"Jing Jing loves the sweet-scented osmanthus cake I make the most. Can I bring some more sweet-scented osmanthus over when the time comes?"
"I like it too. Let's eat together."
"If the emperor didn't take Wanwan with him, she would probably hide away and cry."
"My dear Concubine Ling, you have always been prudent and capable in doing things, but your tear dimples are too shallow and your heart is too soft."
Empress Fucha chuckled: "If she was too hard-hearted, the Emperor wouldn't treat her so well."
Hearing this, Hongli closed his eyes and laughed out loud: "She is very good, it's all because of the good teaching of the Queen."
The couple was talking, and it was unknown who fell asleep first. Gradually, the only sound in the room was the quiet breathing.
……
In Yongshou Palace, Yanwan was also in a good mood.
She put away the practiced calligraphy one by one, thinking about going to the Queen Mother to worship Buddha early tomorrow morning, and her brows curved.
If the Empress is her mother, then the Empress Dowager is half her master, and even recently she has become like her grandmother.
People's feelings are developed through getting along with each other. No matter how busy she is every month, no matter what the weather is like, she always guarantees to spend at least ten days with him to worship Buddha, just for today's friendship.
Although we cannot say that we can completely rely on each other, we can at least influence each other.
At least, she dared to say that if she cried and begged the Queen Mother for something now, as long as it was not too excessive, the Queen Mother would be willing to listen and help.
She never asked for much, just this.
Chunchan and Lancui came in with hot water and helped her wash up.
Yanwan looked at Chunchan.
Chunchan shook her head slightly.
There was a flash of disappointment in Yanwan's eyes.
The emperor has become more and more suspicious recently, and Jinzhong has come less and less frequently.
They will set off for the Korchin grassland in another month. The affairs in the Yangxin Palace must be very busy, so it is even less likely that he will come. Once they are outside, they will certainly not come.
Chunchan gently massaged Yanwan's fingers: "He will definitely find a chance to come."
How could he bear not being able to talk to his master alone for several months?
I'm afraid he will suffocate to death.
Yan Wan lowered her eyes to look at her slender white fingers and whispered, "I just hope he won't come."
People can't be too greedy, otherwise they will suffer retribution.
It's great that we can meet each other often now. If we are too greedy and get caught...
Who doesn’t want to climb up to the position of imperial concubine?
Only if she goes down first will others have a chance.
Chunchan said subconsciously: "The emperor is in his prime..."
Yan Wan pinched her face and forced her to look up at her: "The Emperor is celebrating the Mid-Autumn Festival, and this palace can be at ease. What I fear most is that something bad happens to the Emperor. You must follow me and do my job well, and don't let the affairs of the harem bother the Emperor."
Chunchan realized that she had lost her composure and nodded hurriedly: "Master, it hurts."
Yan Wan let go and gently touched her cheek: "Don't spoil me too much."
Chunchan asked with a smile: "Then should I change it?"
Yanwan stared.
Chunchan hurriedly coaxed softly: "I will definitely restrain myself, Master, don't worry."
Yan Wan then laughed, yawned, and said softly, "You sleep with me."
Chunchan nodded with a smile and climbed onto the bed obediently.
After another half month of silence, Han tribe finally arrived in the capital, having submitted their memorials and were waiting for an audience with the emperor.
Everyone followed the instructions, but some people couldn't sit still.
Concubine Jia covered her lips and yawned, her bright eyes full of evil: "I heard that the Han tribe brought a princess named Xiangjian with them this time. It is said that this princess is as beautiful as a fairy, and she has a faint cool fragrance since she was born..."
As she spoke, she glanced towards Ruyi.
Yes, Ruyi is out and about again.
Zhang Yuanzheng had clearly told her that it would be best for her to stay in bed to take care of the pregnancy, but she still managed to attend the audience with the empress despite her sick body.
At this moment, she was sitting in the last seat, and her face looked rosy, but in fact, if you looked closer you could tell that she had put a lot of powder on her face, and the rosy color was also drawn with rouge.
Ruyi's expression became ferocious for a moment, but only for a moment.
She revealed her divine aura as a queen without any reservation, as if she could mock Empress Fucha in the main position and Empress Yan Wan in the secondary position.
