Chapter 190 I Come to See You
Concubine Mei and Concubine Shu stayed in Yongshou Palace for a long time before leaving, full of worry.
The two of them walked out of the gate of Yongshou Palace, looked back at the same time, and then looked at each other, and saw the worry and anger in each other's eyes.
Shupin said, "Empress Xian always says she's doing it for the emperor, but I see that the harem is very peaceful. Only she is always jumping up and down, causing waves. Why does she have to target Wanwan? In terms of age, she can be Wanwan's mother!"
Concubine Mei raised her lips slightly and said sarcastically, "She is a person who can endure any hardship and take any blame as long as the emperor treats her first. But once the emperor cares about others more than her, she will no longer be able to maintain her dignity."
Shupin frowned: "She is so jealous!"
Concubine Mei sneered, "She is just jealous. Now everyone in the palace knows that she is a person who wants to dominate and dominate the favor. She is the only one who is still deceiving herself. She thinks that everyone sees her the same as before. If there is any difference, it is because Wanwan has deceived her."
Shupin whispered, "Sister, what can we do to help Wanwan?"
Concubine Mei looked at her and said, "You never liked to get involved in these fights before."
Shupin smiled bitterly and said, "Sister, I only have the emperor in my heart, and I don't want to embarrass the emperor, but Wanwan is really good. I know she is also in love with the emperor, but she is willing to give the emperor to me and my sister just to fulfill my wish and to make my sister and Yongqi live better in the harem.
I've been reading the books Wanwan gave me recently. It turns out that in addition to husbands and love, women also have lifelong friendships that can support each other, and they can also have their own justice that they must uphold for their entire lives."
Concubine Mei looked into her eyes and said, "Yihuan, you are a simple-minded person who thinks nothing but love. Now you are worrying so much, don't you feel embarrassed?"
Shupin lowered her eyes and smiled softly: "Sister, I just suddenly realized that I was blinded by a leaf before. I remembered that I had read a lot of books in the past. What I have in my mind are not only the poems and songs of the emperor, but also the classics of the dynasties."
She held Mei Fei's hand and said worriedly, "I feel very embarrassed when I think about doing something I don't like in the future. But when I think about it, if I always do nothing, when I get old, I can only recall how many times the emperor came to see me... I am afraid that by then, I will feel that I have lived in vain, but it will be too late."
Concubine Mei smiled brightly and charmingly: "You should have played with Wanwan earlier, your brain might have opened up a long time ago!"
She held Shupin's wrist and lowered her voice: "Since you are willing to collude with me and Wanwan, then I will really ask you for a favor."
Shupin said seriously: "Sister, you say, I can definitely do it!"
Concubine Mei smiled and said, "Didn't you get along well with Concubine Xian before? She has always been conceited and doesn't think she will lose to Wanwan. If you get close to her now, she will just think that you have suddenly come to your senses and have seen through Wanwan's true colors. Maybe she will not hide many things from you."
Shupin: "..."
She was already itching all over just thinking about getting along with Concubine Xian, but she was always a person of her word: "Okay, I will definitely do this well!"
Mei Fei chuckled: "Look at how difficult it is for you. Just do it like in the past, recite a few poems and songs to her, don't talk to Wanwan, and feel sad and disappointed with her when she is expressing her feelings about men and women. Be a little cold and don't pay too much attention to her. Just walk with her a few more times, and she will think you trust her again."
Shupin thought for a moment, then blushed: "So, I was like this before."
For the first time, she felt that her past self was both aloof and cold, and really, quite pretentious.
Concubine Mei chuckled and said, "Come on, come with me to meet Yongqi. After you go to Yikun Palace, I'm afraid you won't be able to visit Yongqi as often as before."
Shupin thought: "If I pretend to want to persuade Yongqi on behalf of Concubine Xian and Hai Ying, they will probably believe me."
Concubine Mei smiled and said, "Your idea is good. Let's talk about it in detail... But we don't need to tell Wanwan about our plans, so as not to worry her."
Shupin responded, "I don't know much, I'll just follow my sister's instructions."
Concubine Mei looked at her gentle and cold face, and once again felt that she was really stubborn, but also very cute.
Looking back to two years ago, she was too lazy to even take medicine and missed her children every day. Now, with her children and sisters around her, her life is full of expectations and hope, so good that it makes her feel dazed.
She reached out and took Shupin's hand, feeling her stiffen a little bit, and quickly forced a smile, unable to help but laughing again.
Wasn't it the same when Wanwan held her hand?
The days passed quietly, and in the blink of an eye, half a month had gone by.
That day, Shupin had a box delivered.
Yan Wan opened it and saw a yellowed book inside, lying on an extremely precious soft brocade.
Chunchan was at a loss: "This is..."
Yan Wan glanced at the title of the book and burst out laughing: "This is Yi Huan's darling baby. It seems that she and Sister Mei Fei have come up with a new idea. She is going to go to Concubine Xian to be a spy for us."
Chunchan reacted and didn't know whether to laugh or cry: "So, Concubine Shu is sending you her most precious ancient book as a hostage so that you can believe her sincerity?"
She shook her head: "What if you don't understand?"
Yan Wan smiled and said, "She is a stubborn person who values feelings more than others. She has been studying since she was a child and loves books. The fact that she can give this book to me shows that I am almost as important as the emperor in her heart."
Chunchan suppressed her laughter and said, "If one day Concubine Shu loves you more than the emperor, then all the high-ranking concubines of the emperor will be swept away by you."
Yan Wan's eyes were as white as silk: "Don't I treat my sisters better than the emperor? It's only a matter of time before my sisters love me more than the emperor."
She gave love, money, power, and royal favor. If she had had someone like this by her side back then, she would have been unable to help but be open-hearted to her.
Her delicate white hands gently stroked her belly: "He hasn't come to see me for a long time."
Chunchan knew that she was thinking about Jinzhong, and said softly: "As long as he has time, he will definitely think of you!"
Yanwan was a little unhappy, pouting slightly, and looked towards the door. She saw the door curtain was lifted, revealing a handsome face. It was Jinzhong whom she wanted to see.
But at this moment, the man lowered his eyes to the ground, stood with his back hunched, and didn't even look in her direction.
Yan Wan smiled in surprise: "Your Majesty is here to see me?!"
Her eyes, filled with joy, moved away from Jinzhong's face without any flaws, looked at Hongli who came in, lifted the quilt and was about to get out of bed.
Hongli came over quickly and held her hand: "Lie down. I heard from Concubine Xian that you were not feeling well. I came to see you."
