Donggong Zhangjiao

The next day, during greetings, the Queen mentioned what happened yesterday.

"I heard that the emperor rewarded Concubine Zhao with a set of folding fans made of shells. They are exquisite and beautiful. I do have an ivory fan, but I have never seen a fan made of shells. Such a new thing has just come from When tribute came from the south, the emperor took it to Yuzhang Palace, which shows that the emperor loves Concubine Zhao very much."

"The empress was joking. The emperor saw that the shell was a worthless thing. It was just made into a fan. It was more novel than before, so he gave it to his concubine for fun. If it were something valuable, such as pearls, emeralds, rhinoceros horns, ivory, etc. , I will be sent to Fengxuan Palace only if I am worthy of my empress’ status.”

Fang Yun's smile was gentle, but his words were still respectful.

The queen curled her lips, still looking normal.

"The objects are small, but the emperor's thoughts are big. The emperor has not come to the harem for many days, but when he comes, he brings things to see you. Doesn't it mean that the emperor loves you very much."

But after saying this, Fang Yun gave no chance to interrupt, and turned to look at Wan Bin.

"I see that Concubine Wan doesn't look well. Have you not had a rest recently? You have worked hard to take care of the Sixth Princess, and you have suffered a lot of grievances before. You must take good care of your body. Now Concubine Among them, apart from Xu Lingyi and Luo Cainu, you are the youngest, and you have served the emperor for a long time. It is best to take good care of yourself and give birth to a son and a half for the emperor."

When her name was called, Wanbi's eyes moved and she nodded in response.

"Thank you for your concern, the Queen. It's easy to catch wind and cold in spring. I'm worried about the Sixth Princess, so I couldn't sleep well at night. My complexion is a bit worse. I'm already recovering. It's not a serious problem."

"That's good. You are also smart and sensible. Just like Concubine Zhao, you should serve the emperor with more attentiveness." The queen said softly.

Wan Bin lowered her eyes, covering the emotions in her eyes, and responded in a low voice.

Please leave early.

All the concubines left.

Fang Yun invited Concubine Song to go for a walk in the Imperial Garden.

As the two of them walked, Song Concubine spoke first.

"Your Majesty, I think you want to say something about the Queen."

"I can't hide it from you." Fang Yun smiled, "I can only have a few words with you."

Song Concubine also smiled, "I just gave up my desire to fight early and became an outsider so I can see clearly. The queen is acting abnormally today. In the past, she would not sow discord between the concubines. I think , probably related to the fifth prince."

"When your child gets older, you will naturally have to pave the way for your child. Every mother will do this. It is understandable." Fang Yun said calmly.

Why didn't she want to give the best to the fourth prince?

Song Concubine nodded, "I didn't understand it before, but now that I have the third prince, I can understand what it's like to be a mother. However, I can't reach it, and I don't have a big heart. I only hope that the third prince can be a stable and wealthy person in the future." Just idle people."

"If I am like you, I can naturally hope so, but I have been favored by the emperor for many years. Even if I tell outsiders that I don't want the fourth prince to have anything to do with that position, others will not believe it." Fang Yun chuckled.

When she said this, Song Concubine was quite serious.

"Concubine Jin is not favored, and she has no family background. The eldest prince is the oldest, and now his qualifications are mediocre. Naturally, the queen will not take their mother and son seriously. This concubine is worse than Concubine Jin. To say the least, it is treason. If so, if Concubine Yang were still here, the queen would probably have her eyes set on the third prince. Now, she is only thinking about you, the empress."

Indeed, among the princes, the fourth prince is currently the most eye-catching.

"If Concubine Wan also gives birth to a prince, the Queen will be distracted." Concubine Song added.

Fang Yun pursed his lips, "So, she wants to cause a conflict between me and Wan Concubine. The queen has always been the one to keep things to herself."

"Where's Xu Lingyi?"

Song Bin said, picking a flower and playing with it in her hand.

"Compared to Wan Concubine, Xu Lingyi is more useful. Now that the Lu family and the Xu family are married again, Xu Lingyi and the Queen are in the same boat."

"Didn't you mention that they are in the same boat? If Xu Lingyi accidentally capsizes the boat, the queen will naturally be affected to some extent," Fang Yun said.

After saying this, Song Concubine was stunned and nodded.

"Indeed, Xu Lingyi is not really smart. It's better not to use those methods. I don't know if he will be better after what happened to Qiu." It’s lively.”

Fang Yun smiled, raised his eyes and saw two figures swaying towards a small fork in the road not far away, then dodged away.

"Who is there?" Fang Yun suddenly frowned.

Song Concubine also noticed it and told the people around her, "Go and take a look. He is sneaking around in broad daylight. Don't do anything shady."

Nian Shuang, the personal palace maid, responded and walked over quickly.

When Nian Shuang came back, there were two women behind him, it was Luo Cainu and her personal maid Yin Zhu.

"Concubine, please see the noble concubine, the concubine Wan." Luo Cainv saluted, with a look of embarrassment on her face.

Fang Yun waved his hand, "What are you hiding from when you see me?"

"Hui, back to the imperial concubine, I caught the fish in the imperial garden lake and was afraid of being seen by others, so, so."

While speaking, Luo Cainu lowered her head little by little, wishing she could find a hole to drill into.

And Yin Zhu, who was following her and holding a bamboo basket with fish in his hand, was even more despairing, thinking that he might die in the palace today.

Unexpectedly, after Fang Yun and Song Bin looked at each other, they both burst into laughter.

"Catch fish?" Fang Yun found it very interesting, "You are quite good. You can actually catch fish in the lake in the Imperial Garden. Let me show you."

Luo Cainu hurriedly asked Yinzhu to bring over the bamboo basket, and there were two fat koi carps still jumping around in it.

"How were you caught?" Song Bin was also curious.

"These fish are used to being fed by people. When they see people feeding them, they will swim over in groups. My concubine has quick eyes and quick hands and scooped up two of them in one go." Luo Cainv said truthfully.

In the end, he hurriedly explained, "My dear ladies, I know I'm wrong. I'm really greedy and that's why I came up with this idea. I hope that I'll spare my life this time because this is my first offender!"

Seeing her anxious look, Fang Yun also found it funny.

"Okay, the palace rules don't say you are not allowed to catch fish, so I won't punish you. It's just indecent, so don't do it in the future. You can take the fish back."

"Thank you, your Majesty, thank you so much!" Luo Cainu was overjoyed, and finally said, "My Majesty, the koi meat is fresh and tender, and it really tastes good. Please take one back and try it."

"You are not a first-time offender. How do you know that koi fish tastes good?" Fang Yun asked.

Luo Cainv's expression changed, "I'm a concubine. I'm a concubine."

"That's all, don't let it happen again." Fang Yun couldn't help but laughed, "Qingrong, take a fish, and I'll send Luo Cainu some dishes for lunch later. It's a return gift from me. .”

Everyone laughed when they heard this.

When Luo Cainu left, her face was as red as a monkey's butt.

Originally, Fang Yun was going to try the koi from the Imperial Garden with Song Concubine, but he didn't expect Fuxi to find him in the Imperial Garden.

It was said that Pei Yao invited her to Jingqian Palace.

Concubine Song naturally took the initiative and left first.

Fang Yun looked at the fish in Qingrong's hand and thought, let the emperor try it.

After all, Pei Yao has never eaten fish from the Imperial Garden Lake.

Luo Cainv: Koi Koi, good luck to you!
