Chapter thirty-seven palace disputes
Mrs. Mi's expression was as usual, and her thin lips curled up in a shallow curve. "Good lady, I am a good match... Congratulations." This cold and distant tone could not hear the slightest congratulations.
Then, Mrs. Mi said to Jin Xi who was conservative, "My sister is such a lucky one. If you have such a delicate sister, you can come to the palace from time to time to see you."
Jin Xi and Chen Yuan stood up to thank him. The wife was cold-hearted. Everyone knew that speaking like this at this moment was a bit unpredictable.
"My Lord, I have given you a date for marriage. I don't know when the wedding date is scheduled?" The emperor asked at the right time, breaking the subtle dark waves.
"If you go back to the emperor, the wedding date is scheduled to be on the sixth day of the September 2019."
The emperor glanced at Mrs. Mi next to her, held her hand affectionately, and said with a smile: "It's been a matter of my and my wife for so long."
Mrs. Mi just looked at the desk in front of her and felt thoughtful, not wanting to pay attention to the emperor at all. The candle fire was clear and her eyes were deep.
Regardless of what Mrs. Mi looked at Ying Zhen hesitantly. Why was the young master's marriage the wife's mind? But she didn't ask too much at the moment, and she had to smile and say nothing. The necessary demeanor must not be missing.
On the sixth day of the September 1st, I think the wedding date is coming soon. I hope it will go well, Chen Yuan thought so.
During the meal, singing and dancing were peaceful, and there was a peaceful scene. The emperor seemed to be in a particularly good mood today, and his smile never faded. Mrs. Mi next to him still had no extra expression, but she didn't look like a dull face with a cold face. It only made people feel that there was no joy in her face. Jin Xi sat on the other side, although her gorgeous clothes were gorgeous, but her expression was also dull. The concubines who had no choice but to talk to her, looking particularly lonely.
"Every night banquet in the palace is full of these songs and dances. It is rare for the emperor to enjoy the pleasure of watching it." Princess Xiangcheng leaned lazily on her seat, looking at the dancer boredly.
"Does Sister Xiangcheng have any new ideas?" Wen Ling's eyes shone brightly, and he turned his head and smiled: "I heard that Empress Zhaoyi's dancing is excellent and can attract hundreds of birds. Wen Ling is so envious!"
When Chen Yuan heard this, he thought to himself that something was wrong. It seemed that Wen Ling was interested in raising a problem with Jin Xi.
"Oh? I have heard of it, but I didn't expect that my two beloved concubines were so good at dancing. But the wife had just returned to the palace and was tired from the road. Why not dance alone in Zhaoyi?" The emperor was intrigued. As the saying goes, hearing is worse than seeing at first sight. He also wanted to see what the scene of the birds in the dance party was like.
Jin Xi looked at Chen Yuan instinctively. Chen Yuan frowned and was about to speak, but Ying Zhen pulled her. Chen Yuan was secretly anxious. Could it be that Jin Xi really wanted to dance? Others don’t know, Chen Yuan still doesn’t know Jin Xi’s background? Where can he attract hundreds of birds? It’s just Xiao Sheng who relies on Ziyi. Now, who can help Jin Xi overcome the difficulties besides himself? Why should the young master stop him?
Chen Yuan also knew that this was Yu Jingguo. As a foreign girl, she really had no status to speak, but when she looked at Jin Xi again, Jin Xi was ordered to go down and prepare. I wonder if Jin Xi had complained about her silence, Chen Yuan sighed helplessly. Thinking of what the young master said to him a few days ago, maybe she did help Jin Xi too much, and sometimes she had to face these difficulties by herself.
Everyone on the field had their own thoughts, and the concubines were more watching the show. Mrs. Mi sat there leisurely, wondering if she would worry that Jin Xi's dance would surpass her.
Soon, Jin Xi came to the venue in a dance dress. Compared to Mrs. Mi's coldness and arrogance, Jin Xi seemed even more gorgeous. Chen Yuan knew that Jin Xi would definitely work hard to perform. Although she was worried about the ending, she made up her mind that if someone made things difficult for her, she would never sit idly by.
After all, Jin Xi is a princess of Xihua Kingdom. Her every frown, smile, and move is a little different from the daughter of Yujing Kingdom. Although there were no birds appearing after dancing for a while, such a novel dance posture is not inferior to that of the wife.
Some concubines had secretly ridiculed Jin Xi for her hard-working performance, especially the Concubine Ning, which made Chen Yuan feel that she had any conspiracy waiting for Jin Xi.
I thought Jin Xi could finish dancing like this, but I didn't expect that Jin Xi, who was half dancing, suddenly fell into a dark state.
"What's going on? Why don't you hurry up and Xuan Doctor!"
After the imperial physician came to see him, he said that Zhaoyi was poisoned and caused fainting. The scene was noisy and everyone was in danger. If he was poisoned, he would be damn good at Zhaoyi. What's so great?
The emperor had a dark face and ordered people to investigate the matter thoroughly and never let the mastermind behind the scenes go. Chen Yuan instinctively looked at Concubine Ning. Thinking that Concubine Ning was against Jin Xi everywhere, he began to doubt her. Unexpectedly, after a glance, he found that Concubine Ning was missing.
Fortunately, Jin Xi was poisoned for not long and slowly woke up after feeding the decoction.
"Sister, how do you feel?" Chen Yuan held Jin Xi's hand tightly and watched her lying on the bed with a pale face and a weak breath. He was very worried. "The imperial physician said that this poison is chronic. It could have made my sister become decadent without knowing it. But my sister was dancing today, and the blood in her body was overflowing, which made it reveal its clues. Sister, how can I rest assured if you call me like this?"
"I'm fine." Jin Xi spoke lightly, with a depressed expression, "I'm worried about my sister."
"If sister, where is this? I really made my sister suffer this time."
"I don't know, I don't know who is so cruel, I'm going to hurt me..."
"Sister, the emperor has ordered someone to thoroughly investigate this matter. Since you wake up, I feel relieved. The imperial physician said that you should take good care of yourself and your health will not be seriously injured. I should not stay for a long time now. Sister should take good care of it." After that, Chen Yuan gave Yuxiu and the others a little instructions before leaving.
Ying Zhen was waiting outside Jin Xi's bedroom. When he saw Chen Yuan coming out, he said, "Let's go."
Chen Yuan was beside Ying Zhen, led by the palace servant to the palace gate. In the shadow, a beautiful figure looked at them from afar...
After getting on the carriage, Chen Yuan pressed his forehead a little tired. For some reason, he had a headache.
"What's wrong?"
"Maybe it's not a good rest these two days..." Chen Yuan shook her head and smiled reluctantly. Thinking of what she wanted to ask Ying Zhen to do last time, she felt that she could not wait any longer, so she spoke: "Young Master, can you find a proper imperial physician for Zhaoyi? I'm worried that she is not safe in the palace alone."
Ying Zhen moved his lips and said nothing, but asked Chen Yuan to sit closer to him, then reached out and gently rubbed her temples, and after a long time he said, "The Empress Dowager has never liked the formation of a party between the imperial concubine and the imperial physician, and even the wife has never had such an exception. Don't worry, the emperor will not let her have something to do."
He said this, Chen Yuan knew that this matter could not be done, but she could not force her, so she simply stopped talking and let him relieve herself gently. Ying Zhen's strength in her hands was not light or heavy, and while Chen Yuan felt comfortable, it gradually became a little more cramped. But it is undeniable that such a relationship made her feel a little sweet, which could make her forget those worries and worries for the time being.
After sending Chen Yuan back home, Ying Zhen also went back to the house. Zhong Ling supported Chen Yuan. Seeing his lady's smile that could not be concealed, he couldn't help but wonder, "Miss, the princess is like this, why are you..."
Chen Yuan knew that he had lost his composure and hurried into the house in shame. Zhong Ling then reacted and said with a smile: "What's the shame for the lady? Just treat the lady well. It's the lady's birthday soon. I wonder how my sister-in-law will prepare for the lady!"
Chen Yuan was also a little curious and expectant. Will the young master give herself a surprise? But she refused to admit it, "Maybe the young master has too many things to do, and I didn't expect my birthday to come soon."
"Would you like to remind me?"
"Ling'er," Chen Yuan scolded this girl for being reckless. She didn't have the nerve to remind her specifically. It was just a birthday. "You are not allowed to make good decisions. You have to worry so much. If you remember, you will naturally do it for me. It's okay if you don't remember it. There is no need to disturb him with such trivial matters... It's my grandfather, I'm not by his side this year, and I don't know if he will miss me."
"The Prime Minister will definitely miss the lady. We have been here for so long, but I sent a few letters back. Should the lady take someone to send it to the old Prime Minister?"
Speaking of this, Chen Yuan asked Zhong Ling to close the door and whispered: "Do you still remember Aunt Tang? It's your Aunt Qiu."
Zhong Ling frowned and thought for a while, "But the aunt Qiutang who used to serve her husband? She didn't leave the prime minister's mansion very early, why did the lady think of her?"
"She's in Yujing."
Zhong Ling opened his eyes wide, "What about Aunt Qiu..."
Chen Yuan told her about the day's Tingyin Pavilion. After hearing this, Zhong Ling was very happy, thinking that they finally had a support in Yujing Country. I believe the lady thought so too.
"Zhong Ling, my grandfather has replied to the letter you sent for me, but I, Aunt Tang, have not heard back yet. Could something happen to Aunt Tang?"
