Chapter 112 Fu Cha Lang Ya 112
After Gao Xiyue finished speaking, Ke Changzai's face turned ugly. She just didn't want to give Wei Yanwan this face.
I didn't realize that this was in the Yanx Palace, and all the arrangements were prepared by Concubine Xian.
If you really want to make a fuss about it, it's Concubine Xian's fault.
Ruyi raised her eyebrows and looked at Ke Changzai, seeming unhappy that the other party was bringing the war to her.
Then he lowered his head and smiled, stopping talking and playing with the petals in his hand.
Hai Lan jumped out to apologize at this time, "Please forgive me, Concubine Xian asked me to prepare it, but I was busy and forgot."
"Ye Xin, hurry up and get someone to bring some milk tea!"
"It's been so long since you two entered the palace, haven't you gotten used to life in the Forbidden City yet?"
"If you miss life in Mongolia so much, why did you come to the selection? You're always giving nobles the cold shoulder. Is this the upbringing of you Mongolian ladies?"
How could Concubine Ying accept such contempt? Her face immediately turned red and she glared at Jin Yuyan who was speaking.
"The Emperor will judge our upbringing, and it is not the Empress Jia's place to judge."
"Your mother clan is also thousands of miles away. You should be well aware that these customary preferences are not a big deal."
Jin Yuyan hadn't been looked at with such disdain for a long time, and her fighting spirit was immediately ignited.
He snorted coldly, "That's the good thing about being young. You have fresh minds."
"Your Majesty is the Emperor of the Qing Dynasty, and he is busy with all sorts of official duties. Does Concubine Ying think that Your Majesty is the King of Bahrain?"
"The Emperor doesn't have the time to worry about your upbringing. If you two don't know the rules, someone will teach you."
After hearing these few words, Concubine Ying and Ke Chang were furious. They immediately stood up and scolded Jin Yuyan, completely forgetting Ruyi's repeated warnings and instructions.
Proceed with caution? A little impatience can ruin a big plan?
All forgotten.
Several Mongolian maids who entered the palace with them were ready to take action.
"Empress Jia, the Emperor respects Mongolia. How can you slander me so brazenly?"
"Today, we two sisters will teach you a lesson on behalf of the Emperor and the forty-nine Mongolian tribes!"
The concubines in the room were shocked by this sudden change.
In the past, these verbal quarrels were very common, and everyone just wanted to satisfy their desire to talk, but why did they end up fighting?
With the experience of the last group fight in Changchun Palace, all the personal palace maids immediately protected their masters behind them.
Su Lujun quickly stepped forward and grasped Lady Ying's wrist. "What are you going to do, Lady Ying?"
"Princess Chun, please don't stop me. I'm right here. Let's see who dares to touch me."
Kim Yu-yeon, who was provoked like this for the first time, would certainly not let it go easily.
"You are just a noble lady. The whole imperial city is not as bold as you. And you still want to teach me a lesson on behalf of the emperor?"
"What qualifications do you have to represent the forty-nine tribes of Mongolia?"
"Even though I'm not very knowledgeable, I know that the Balin tribe is just a small tribe. Does Prince Khorchin know that you are taking advantage of others here?"
The palace people present were taking sides and ready to escape at any time.
The Mongolian maids were strong, but Zhenshu was not someone to be trifled with, and she refused to let them gain any advantage.
Concubine Ying was so angry that her heart was pounding, her hands were shaking and she didn't know what to say.
Since entering the palace, she and Ke Chang have been unstoppable under the banner of Mongolia. When had they ever suffered such a big setback?
"Concubine Jia speaks so confidently. You are nothing more than a tribute. The entire Balin tribe is loyal to the emperor. I am the daughter that father loves the most."
……
Faced with the quarrel between the two, Ruyi and Hailan looked at each other, not daring to add fuel to the fire or say anything.
The two originally planned to use the identity of a Mongolian noble lady to target Wei Yanwan, but who knew that Jin Yuyan jumped out first.
Now that the matter has become so serious, the emperor will definitely not be able to hide it. What should we do?
Everyone is willing to exaggerate, and both sides quickly escalated the matter to the level of who was more loyal, the Yu family or Mongolia.
"Don't go too far, Lady Ying. You keep saying that the Emperor respects Mongolia. Are you trying to blackmail us?"
"Or is it that King Bahrain has rebellious intentions, which is why you are so arrogant?"
"I dare not. The loyalty of the Balin tribe to the emperor is evident to all. I refuse to accept such a title as the Imperial Concubine."
Concubine Ying knelt there with her back straight, her head held high and looking directly at Gao Xiyue, her eyes full of unyielding spirit.
She knew that her support came from Mongolia, and even if she offended the imperial concubine, she could not admit the crime of genocide.
When Ruyi saw this, she secretly applauded in her heart.
She and Gao Xiyue have been at odds for many years, and the other party has clashed with her many times. Concubine Ying has a good background, so if she can really make Gao Xiyue suffer a loss this time, it will not be a loss.
Ruyi walked forward and protected Concubine Ying with a conciliatory smile, her face full of "I'm doing this for your own good."
"Your Highness, Concubine Ying is innocent and young, so she definitely didn't do it on purpose. Please don't bother with her."
"How can we interfere in the affairs of the previous dynasty? If this gets out, I'm afraid it will hurt the hearts of the Mongolian tribes. If the emperor blames us, I'm afraid it will be difficult for Lord Gao to do anything."
The pride in Ruyi's eyes did not escape Gao Xiyue's sight.
She was very disdainful of this. Concubine Xian had not made any progress over the years. She would become complacent if she had a slight advantage and even thought she was doing a good job of disguising herself.
"You can barely hide your smug face, yet you're still pretending to be a good person?"
"I wanted to see what tricks you could come up with today, but it turns out you're still using such clumsy tactics, instigating others to cause trouble and disturbing the entire harem."
The harem is not allowed to interfere in politics, and no emperor would like his concubines to be too deeply involved with the previous dynasty.
Gao Xiyue had already memorized the taboos that Langya reminded her of by heart. She would usually jump around on Hongli's bottom line and would never touch below it.
She could put a hat on Concubine Ying, but she couldn't go on.
"Not only do you not appreciate my kindness, Your Highness, but you also secretly speculate about it. I really have nothing to say. I just want to ask Your Highness to be more careful."
Ruyi is very good at replying to what she has read, and she will not make any more excuses after saying what she wants to say.
He acts very calmly and no matter how broken his heart is, he won't let others see it, which makes others seem aggressive.
Hai Lan watched from the side, anxiously stirring the handkerchief in her hand back and forth, and the jade bracelets on her wrists made crisp sounds when they collided. Unfortunately, Ruyi did not understand her hint.
She had no choice but to step forward and stand beside Ruyi, looking at Gao Xiyue in a flattering manner.
"Your Highness, we sisters have finally gotten together. Let's not let these little things ruin our relationship."
Then he turned to Ruyi and called out pleadingly, "Sister!"
Their target today is Wei Yanwan!
Why is my sister clashing with the imperial concubine again? She has never gotten any advantage from them over the years.
Hai Lan knew very well that if they wanted to deal with the Queen and the Imperial Concubine, they could only do it in secret.
Concubine Ying also hid behind and stopped talking.
"Provoking trouble and then showing weakness is your usual style, right? This palace has seen clearly that today is a Hongmen Banquet, but I don't know who it is aimed at."
Gao Xiyue spoke for Jin Yuyan, so she naturally would not allow Hai Lan to put Gao Xiyue on a pedestal.
They might as well just tear off the other party's face and talk about harmony in the harem. The emperor himself knew that they didn't like Ruyi, but he didn't say anything.
"My Lady, let's go. I don't dare to come to the Yanxi Palace anymore."
"Just admiring a flower almost brought disaster to my mother's family. I'm a fool, and if I say a few more words, I don't know what crime I'll be charged with."
Gao Xiyue nodded, and walked out with Jin Yuyan regardless of Hai Lan's attempts to keep her.
Everyone saw that there was no one left, and in the blink of an eye, only Ruyi and her little friend were left.
Wei Yanwan followed behind Jin Yuyan and whispered her thanks.
"Thank you, Lady Jia, for helping me out, and thank you, Lady Guifei, for speaking up for me."
"Why thank me? That noble lady Ying dared to say that I was a tribute. I will let her see that we were both sent to the capital by our clan. What is the difference between her and me?"
Jin Yuyan's eyes were cold when she talked about Concubine Ying. Ever since she gave up her feelings for the Prince of the Yu family, she has been very rational and concentrated on winning favor and raising children.
Apart from making money, she likes to wander around the palaces. She has always been popular. This is the first time someone has made her so angry.
"There's no point in getting into an argument with them. It's not worth getting angry."
"You are the biological mother of the Fourth Prince. You are the first person under the Imperial Concubine. This is a fact that no one can change."
Only after being comforted by Gao Xiyue and Wei Yanwan in turn did Jin Yuyan's anger dissipate.
Turning to ask Wei Yanwan, "Do you have any grudge against Concubine Xian? Ke Chang's expression clearly shows that she has something against you. They have always been close to Concubine Xian."
"What happened today was probably directed at you. Even if you didn't say anything, there are tricks waiting for you later."
"what!"
Wei Yanwan thought that Ke Chang was unhappy because she didn't understand the preferences of Mongolian concubines, but she didn't think about it otherwise.
At this time, she had not experienced the beatings in the harem and was not so sensitive to the malice of others.
Gao Xiyue seemed to have forgotten that she had gone through the same thing. If the camps in the harem were not clearly divided, she would probably not be able to tell them apart now.
She tutted her tongue and said to Wei Yanwan impatiently, "Ah, what? Concubine Yu has people saying everywhere that you're favored because you look like Concubine Xian."
"Wasn't she the one who sent you to the flower house? Concubine Yu is Concubine Xian's lackey, can't you see?"
"Oh right... now there are two more."
"Thank you both sisters for the reminder. I will be more careful in the future."
Wei Yanwan nodded in agreement, stepped forward to take Xing Xuan's place and supported Gao Xiyue, secretly deciding to stay away from Concubine Xian and the others in the future.
"Noble Lady Yu is quite impressive. Even after being imprisoned in the Yanxi Palace by the Empress for embroidery, she still has the energy to spread rumors here. I really underestimated her in the past."
"You don't have to worry about it. Anyone with eyes can see that you two look nothing alike."
Wei Yanwan lowered her eyes and smiled faintly, then said a little embarrassedly, "Well, the Queen also said so."
Gao Xiyue happened to see the bracelet on her hand and felt a pang of pain in her heart.
"Humph!"
"Empress Dowager~"
Wei Yanwan looked at her hand being shaken away helplessly, wondering why Gao Xiyue was so angry.
She wanted to go up and apologize, but was stopped by Jin Yuyan.
"No need to chase her, she's fine like this."
"Sister Jiafei, what did I say that was inappropriate?"
Jin Yuyan waved her hand and said, "No, our imperial concubine is just sulking. Don't mention how good the queen is to you in front of her in the future."
She rubbed her forehead in feigned annoyance, "The Empress kept you here and allowed you to study with the other concubines."
"The Imperial Concubine was depressed in Qixiang Palace for a long time. She even shed a few tears. I had to spend a lot of time and effort to comfort her."
"Just remember that the Empress favors the Imperial Concubine the most in the harem. I have to follow her to see what's going on. Stop crying and go back!"
After saying this, Jin Yuyan left with Zhenshu and others.
Wei Yanwan stood there in a daze, and could still hear the imperial concubine's angry voice from afar.
“Jin Yuyan!!!”
"Chun Chan, it turns out that the Imperial Concubine is jealous. Before, when we were in Xianfu Palace, the Imperial Concubine was always very serious and I thought she didn't like me."
"Go back and tell Lan Cui that if you see the Imperial Concubine in the future, you should put away the gifts given by the Empress."
"Yes, I will pay attention to it next time."
It was also the first time that Chunchan saw with her own eyes how these high-ranking concubines interacted with each other. In the past, she had only heard that the concubines in each palace lived in harmony and that working in their palace was the best life.
But Chunchan didn't expect it to be so casual.
After everyone left, Ke Changzai felt very guilty, "Sister Xianpin, I was not thoughtful enough about this matter, which ruined your plan."
"That's fine. I was hoping we could spend a long time together in the palace, so I'll introduce you two to each other and find another opportunity."
Ruyi was heartbroken, but she had no intention of blaming them.
These two people are different from Yihuan. They are really good at dealing with concubines they don’t like, which is very important to Ruyi.
Hailan is loyal but has no family background. If she wants to protect someone, she will get herself into trouble. She can only do some small things in secret.
On the way back to Jingren Palace, Ke Changzai was still praising Ruyi's magnanimity with Ying Guiren.
"I hope the Emperor won't be angry if he knows what happened today. He really likes your delicate and fragile appearance."
"I heard that the Imperial Concubine and the Imperial Concubine Jia are also very favored."
Concubine Ying was also a little nervous, but it was just Wei Yanwan, but the Concubine...
"We have the support of Mongolia behind us. That is our strength. It's just a few arguments. The emperor will definitely not care."
The two of them forced themselves to take reassurance pills, and they felt pretty good after taking them.
But things are not as simple as they thought.
When Hongli was interested in Wei Yanwan, he came to Yongshou Palace without informing anyone.
As soon as I entered, I saw Wei Yanwan reading a book under the light.
Lan Cui, who was fanning herself, was startled, and Wei Yanwan also jumped up.
Hongli knew that the palace maid serving Wei Yanwan was a former good friend, and he liked Wei Yanwan even more for being so considerate of their old friendship.
Therefore, he did not take Lan Cui's recklessness seriously.
He was amused by the reactions of the master and servant. He took Wei Yanwan's hand and sat back down, then picked up the book that Wei Yanwan had just thrown away.
"Hurry up and sit down. I didn't mean to scare you. What are you looking at so intently?"
"Weren't you reading my poems a few days ago? Why are you reading these now?"
"Your Majesty, you can't just look at one thing. You have to change your mind."
Chunchan just happened to bring over some tea and said with a smile, "Your Majesty doesn't know, but our master stayed up all night copying a copy of your poetry collection, and only then did he think of reading something else."
Hongli took a closer look and saw that there was indeed a hint of blue in Wei Yanwan's eyes.
