Chapter 159 Good Words
"Master, I have already instructed Grandma Tian. Ever since the Empress gave birth, everyone in the palace has been saying that it was the Empress' bad luck that caused the Fifth Princess to die young and the Thirteenth Prince to be born prematurely. Grandma Tian has arranged everything from top to bottom and will definitely not get involved in Yongshou Palace..." After they walked away, Chunchan looked around and saw that there was no suspicious person before she spoke in a low voice.
Chunchan carefully supported Yanwan and walked back, looking at Yanwan's belly carefully from time to time.
My daughter is five months pregnant now, so we have to be careful.
Yan Wan shook her head. She looked at the towering palace walls and said coldly, "No, what I want is to bring Grandma Tian to Yongshou Palace. There's no need to rush for now. This is my first child. I think the emperor will allow my mother to accompany me in the palace. You should find a good nanny. I will report to the emperor and ask the nanny to teach my mother the rules. She is just an ordinary woman. She is used to being lawless at home. If she doesn't learn the rules of the palace, I don't know what trouble she will cause later..."
Yan Wan gets a headache just thinking about her mother who only cares about sucking blood and her brother who can't be helped.
She is good in everything except her family background. Otherwise, why would Ruyi pretend to be superior and look down on her?
But fortunately, there is still time. Let's see if Ruyi can handle the situation she set up this time.
In order to avoid the queen, the emperor has not entered the harem for a long time.
I have flipped through the signs a few times in the past month, but I always felt bored, so I gave up over time.
However, Concubine Ling, knowing that he was busy with government affairs, would send him some medicinal food he made from time to time. She was much better than Concubine Ruyi, who made a fuss all day long and was of no use to him except to upset him.
Seeing that the emperor was not in a good mood these days, Jinzhong tried to persuade him several times. The emperor became impatient and headed for Yongshou Palace.
Although Concubine Ling was pregnant and could not serve the emperor in bed, she was like a flower that could speak eloquently.
As long as she was there to comfort him, the emperor felt that the long-held frustration in his heart instantly dissipated.
Among all the concubines in the palace, only when he was with Concubine Ling did he feel relaxed and stress-free, and as comfortable as a real emperor.
"Your Majesty, why don't you tell the Empress about the Thirteenth Prince? I know that you are doing everything for the Empress's own good, to prevent her from feeling guilty and self-blame. But if the Empress continues to be upset about this, this is not a solution. Your Majesty should talk to the Empress earlier, so that the two of them can reconcile..." Yan Wan took off her armor and spoke softly while peeling grapes.
The emperor had been holding this matter in his heart and felt really uncomfortable. He told Yan Wan the whole reason after coming to Yongshou Palace a few times.
During these days, Ruyi had not given up her desire to see the Emperor. Every time she sent someone to the Yangxin Palace to invite her, the Emperor would find an excuse to dismiss her. The Emperor grew tired of this so often, otherwise he would not have come to the Yongshou Palace to escape to leisure.
Fortunately, Ruyi was noble and concerned about her reputation, so she didn't bow her head and came to Yongshou Palace to ask for help, which left him a quiet place.
The Emperor became increasingly angry at the mention of Ruyi. He took the grapes offered by Yan Wan and said angrily, "I told her early this morning that I was sending the child away so she could recover, but she insisted on asking me for an explanation. Ever since she gave birth, rumors have been swirling around the palace. Now I'm doing this for her own good. The Thirteenth Prince was born prematurely and is weak. If he really wasn't in Yikun Palace, wouldn't that just confirm these rumors and make the Empress a childless person in everyone's eyes?"
After saying this, he angrily picked up the grapes on the plate with a silver stick and put them in his mouth and chewed them slowly.
For some reason, whenever he mentioned the Queen, he would become a little emotional, until the refreshing fruity aroma filled his mouth, which drove away the irritability.
"The Empress is stubborn. If the Emperor keeps hiding the truth, she won't give up until she knows it. I see that the Emperor has been worried about this lately. It would be better for you to explain it to the Empress. I really can't bear to see the Emperor so sad..." Seeing that the Emperor looked a little angry, Yan Wan hurriedly tried to persuade him.
As she spoke, she took the handkerchief soaked in clean water and slowly wiped the grape juice off her hands.
There was worry in his words, but his actions showed no concern at all.
The emperor shook his head and said helplessly, "Ever since the deer blood wine incident, the queen has had her own opinions on everything. It would be fine if it were normal, but if I tell her the truth, it will definitely cause another dispute. I still want to live a few more years, so forget it..."
Speaking of this, the emperor felt that his headache was coming back again.
He rarely felt so powerless, but whenever he encountered the Queen, he would get a headache.
He missed the former Empress Xiaoxian and Ruyi, when she was still Concubine Xian. One of them was virtuous and the other was intelligent, and they were the few comfortable days he had.
If it were the former Ruyi or Empress Fucha, they would never be so straightforward and would not give up until they get a satisfactory result...
Upon hearing this, Yan Wan felt the time was almost right, so she smiled softly and said, "Isn't this simple? Although the Empress is stubborn, she is generally reasonable. If the Emperor feels that discussing this with the Empress will easily lead to an argument, why not let me accompany the Emperor and explain it to the Empress? With me by your side, I'm sure the Empress will understand the Emperor's painstaking efforts."
"you?"
"Ah."
The emperor looked at Yan Wan in confusion, and when he saw her nod confidently, he began to think about it.
He couldn't help but recall that day in Yongshou Palace, the Queen knelt in front of the hall and refused to leave. It was Concubine Ling's persuasion that avoided the incident.
Things have dragged on for so long that the emperor is a little tired.
Instead of dragging it on, it would be better to let Concubine Ling give it a try. Concubine Ling has always been understanding. Even if the Queen wants to quarrel, she won't be able to stir up trouble with Concubine Ling's persuasion.
If she refuses to give up... the emperor's face darkened when he thought of this.
He nodded and patted Yan Wan's hand: "Okay, let's do as you say. It's amazing that you've been pregnant for five months and still think so much of me. I'm so lucky to have you in my harem."
It would be best if all this could be ended as soon as possible.
"It is a blessing for me to share the emperor's worries. As long as the emperor is well, I will do whatever you want..."
Listening to the emperor's praise, Yanwan smiled, but her heart was calm. In places where the emperor couldn't see, there was even a hint of coldness in her eyes.
