The more Bei Liangye thought about it, the more he felt that Ruan Wanwan was jealous with the women in the backyard. This thought pleased him. He was not as irritable as when he just found out that Ruan Wanwan was deliberately avoiding him. This new discovery made him feel physically and mentally.

They all felt very comfortable. After they figured it out, they even rewarded the newly transferred valet.

After a full night's rest, when Ruan Wanwan woke up in the Queen's Palace, she felt completely refreshed. Only then did she realize that she had indeed over-consumed herself recently. Sure enough, people are like this when they are busy.

I don't feel tired sometimes, but when I suddenly get a rest, I feel very tired.

After Ruan Wanwan had packed up, she went to pay her respects to the Empress. This was the advantage of not living with her mother-in-law and daughter-in-law on weekdays. When she lived in the East Palace, Ruan Wanwan naturally did not have to get up early to pay her respects to the Empress, but now she is here after all.

In the palace, one cannot just sleep without knowing etiquette, even if the Queen is a very kind mother-in-law.

Because the Empress had to accept the worship of the concubines in the palace early in the morning, the Queen's palace was very busy at this time. Everyone was not surprised by the Crown Princess who appeared in the palace early in the morning. All the concubines in the palace knew it.

The relationship between mother-in-law and daughter-in-law is very harmonious. It seems that the princess stayed in the palace last night.

After everyone greeted each other, they sat in their respective seats and waited for the Queen to come out. Although Ruan Wanwan was nominally a junior, because she was the Crown Princess and had a high status, she was ranked first on the Queen's left hand because the Queen was the queen.

Infected with smallpox, and also being thrown into the cold palace not long ago, no one in the various palaces dared to mess with the Queen and the Crown Princess. They all sat obediently and waited for the Queen to come out, and no one came forward to talk to them.

The princess chatted while everyone waited quietly.

After the queen came out, she said a few words briefly. Since there were no major festivals recently, she didn't have any special instructions. After a few simple chats, the concubines dispersed.

"It's over now. Let's go and have breakfast with our mother every night!"

Ruan Wanwan was amused by the Empress's helpless tone. It turned out that the usually dignified and noble Empress was impatient to entertain all kinds of beauties in this room. She said, "How can a woman like to share her husband with others?"

"If the Queen Mother doesn't want to see them, just cancel the matter. In the future, just let them come to see them on important occasions. Why bother yourself like this?" Ruan Wanwan rarely sees the Queen Mother express her feelings so truly.

Emotionally, he simply put forward his own suggestions.

"No woman wants to see her husband have so many beauties of all kinds, but as a queen, she is always regarded as a model for all people, and she has to be generous and tolerant at all times, even when dealing with the concubines in the palace.

The greatest kindness, if you are not careful, it will be recorded in the history books by the historian. I cannot completely ignore the comments of future generations, so I have to restrain my temper." The empress did not regard Ruan Wanwan as an outsider, and the mother-in-law and daughter-in-law did not treat Ruan Wanwan as an outsider.

We actually had a very candid chat.

Ruan Wanwan also had to admit that the empress's concerns existed objectively. There were too many constraints on women in this era. Even the empress, as the most noble woman in the Chen Kingdom, was still restrained.

"Is it because I worry less, or because I think more carefully? If I really avoid the concubines in the harem, let alone what outsiders say? I'm afraid even they themselves will be panicked."

"Okay, let's not talk about these troublesome things. After breakfast, you have to go to the imperial concubine's palace. It would be better to bring more people to take care of you. I will ask Shiwen to bring more people to accompany you there later." Even if she is actually the queen of the harem.

The empress is also very cautious. Although the imperial concubine seems to be in a weak position now, she has to be careful after living in the deep palace for decades.

The empress is very frugal, so the breakfast is relatively simple. The two of them abide by the dining etiquette in the palace, eating and sleeping elegantly and finishing the breakfast in an elegant manner. It didn't take much time.

After breakfast, Ruan Wanwan got up and went to the palace of the imperial concubine. Nowadays, the imperial concubine is almost overwhelmed by everyone. Even the palace, which usually looks very noble, shows a bit of decay, and the manpower is also poor.

Not as good as before.

When the eunuch guarding the palace gate saw the crown princess coming to visit, he took her in without even communicating. His words were full of flattery and careful to please, and his usual arrogant demeanor as the watchdog of the royal concubine was completely gone.

Ruan Wanwan walked to the imperial concubine's bedroom and finally saw a few familiar faces. As expected, there were not many of her confidants left, so they were all serving in the inner hall.

When the few confidant maids saw the Crown Princess, their emotions did not fluctuate much. After bowing according to etiquette, they all went about their own business. No one came forward to please her. Instead, Ruan Wanwan gave her a high look.

Ruan Wanwan walked to the imperial concubine's bed and saw that the imperial concubine was really infected with smallpox. This situation made Ruan Wanwan a little unbelievable. She knew how pampered the imperial concubine was, how could she be so cruel?

Why would you let yourself suffer such a big sin?

"Is the imperial concubine always sleeping like this? What did the imperial doctor say?" Ruan Wanwan walked a few steps outside and asked as she walked.

"My queen just went to bed just now. She was so tortured by her condition that she didn't dare to sleep at night. She always had to sleep for a short time after dawn. She just fell asleep. The doctor said it was not serious, but she was worried about staying.

Scar." A maid closest to Ruan Wanwan replied.

After hearing her answer, Ruan Wanwan seemed to turn around and glanced at the imperial concubine on the bed. In fact, she wanted to see the specific performance of her confidant maids. As expected, Ruan Wanwan discovered that there didn't seem to be many of them.

Worried about the concubine's condition, everyone was busy with what they were doing, but they didn't seem to be panicking, and they all looked very energetic, and they didn't look like they had stayed up all night to toss with the concubine.

"Since the imperial doctor said there is no big problem, it will not be wrong after thinking about it. Please serve the imperial concubine well!" Ruan Wanwan got the answer he wanted, and there was no need to leave a few simple instructions before leaving the imperial concubine's room.

palace.

On the way back to the Queen's Palace, Ruan Wanwan contacted Bei Liangye's spy in the palace, and the reply she got was almost the same as she expected. This so-called smallpox was entirely directed and acted by the imperial concubine herself.
