Your Majesty, please do not disturb, the empress only wants to engage in business

Chapter 133 See you again

Yonghe Palace.

If there is a place in the imperial palace that is absolutely quiet, it is only Concubine Jing’s Yonghe Palace.

Just like the title of this beauty, this place is quite quiet. The emperor is not seen for many years, and naturally no grace will be bestowed here.

Fortunately, although the emperor's favor did not come, the empress's care always remained over the Yonghe Palace. In addition, Concubine Jing was still a concubine after all, and her status was particularly different, so the palace people in Yonghe Palace did not have trouble making a living.

When we have nothing to do, we will think about a very pressing issue together.

The master has been so sick for so long, when will it end? Seeing that the emperor has been on the throne for almost a year, the master's illness has not shown any signs of recovery. There are countless doctors in the Imperial Hospital, but none of them has the ability to cure their master.

If it were in other palaces, the servants would gather together to discuss these topics and would not be willing to be scolded by the palace maids and eunuchs in charge. However, in Yonghe Palace, the palace maids who served Concubine Jing personally were busy serving their master, so naturally they had no time to come out and take care of them.

Even if they knew, they probably wouldn't say anything openly. The master is out of favor and everyone's life is hard. If no one is allowed to say a few words, wouldn't Yonghe Palace become a place of resentment?
Therefore, Concubine Jing has always had a good temper. She is not very strong and does not have many hobbies. The only thing she really likes is food.

Because of her poor health, Concubine Jing could not eat many things. The medicines prescribed by the Imperial Hospital were even more taboo. This continued for a long time. After all, this was for the good of her health. Even if she reported it to the emperor, she would have no reason to do so.

But Concubine Jing is a smart person.

She would never do anything that the emperor forbade her to do. Since the food sent by the imperial kitchen was for her health, she would eat a little. However, it was normal for a sick person to have no appetite and eat less.

Even the doctors at the Imperial Medical Bureau said that for Concubine Jing's condition, the best thing to do was to eat small meals frequently, and have more snacks and medicinal foods on a daily basis.

This is also the reason why Jin Chuan appeared in Yonghe Palace.

It is rare to find a cook with outstanding cooking skills in the harem. After all, in the imperial kitchen, all the chefs who can cook are men. The imperial kitchen is outside the inner palace, and eunuchs, who have no roots, can only do small jobs such as sweeping and carrying things. Like the palace maids, they only do assistant work.

The real skills are passed down among the imperial chefs. Such skills that can make a living have never been passed down to women. Only those like Jin Chuan who entered the palace with some family skills can find opportunities to learn some from the master chef when they help him.

Everyone in the palace knew that the imperial concubine liked to recruit palace maids with excellent cooking skills to serve her, but there were very few such palace maids who could come forward. One reason was that there were not many suitable channels, and the other was that serving the imperial concubine was never an easy job.

It’s much easier in Yonghe Palace.

In terms of cooking skills, Jin Chuan is not particularly outstanding. Her advantage over others is just that she is good at making some home-cooked dishes, and these home-cooked dishes happen to suit Concubine Jing's taste. To Jin Chuan, Concubine Jing is also a very wonderful person. She is as quiet as her title suggests, but she is not really very quiet. This kind of calmness and self-restraint is more like an attitude of standing by and watching.

But now she was trapped in Yonghe Palace and couldn't go out, and Jin Chuan'er and the others were also trapped in Yonghe Palace and couldn't move around.

For Jin Chuan, not being able to go out was not a big deal. It was just that she had no communication with the outside world. She was trapped in the palace like a bird in a cage. She had no idea what was happening outside. Even if she had the opportunity to go out of the palace, she would just stroll around the Yonghe Palace, unlike the young eunuchs who could move around outside. But there was a problem.

She could pass messages through the eunuchs and outside. If she couldn't find Yao Jinse, she could always find her two sisters. However, it would be inappropriate to let others know about these things. Whether it was her or her sisters, if they wanted to make things clear, they had to say it in person. Once it was written on paper, it would be evidence of a crime. What she was going to do was not big or small, but she must not implicate Yao Jinse.

So she could only endure it temporarily. Fortunately, the emperor had just ascended the throne less than two years ago. Even if the eldest prince set up a palace, it would not be too fast. There should be no action within one or two years at least. So she still had time and opportunity.

According to the agreement between her and Concubine Yao at the beginning, she is now gradually walking on the right path.

……

Winter won’t be over for long before the New Year comes.

As the days passed, Yao Jinse gradually adapted to the life here. The days of intrigue with the women in the palace were actually mostly similar to her life as a worker in her previous life, and there was even less that she needed to do.

People always change. She used to think about protecting herself, but as things happened one by one, she felt that sometimes, only the one who controls the storm can stand firm in the storm.

However, during this period, perhaps because of the winter, Qiao Yanran, He Yunqing and the others did not cause any trouble. They harvested in autumn and stored in winter. When the snow blocked the doors, everyone liked to hide in their own palaces and not come out. Even the frequency of paying respects was changed from once every five days to once every ten days. Even Shen Qingyin was not willing to deal with the annoying things in the palace such as jealousy and bickering over favors when she was tired in winter.

I don't want to see the imperial concubine either.

Coincidentally, in the winter of that year, the imperial concubine received news from somewhere and suddenly felt that her fortune this year was particularly good and that she might be able to take the opportunity to conceive a prince, so she concentrated on taking pregnancy-maintaining medicine in the palace and seldom communicated with people outside.

She didn't go to the Plum Garden to appreciate the plum blossoms, nor was she too lazy to visit the various palaces. The only places she went diligently were the Emperor's Qianqing Palace or the Yangxin Palace. In short, she was making efforts to have a child.

All seemed calm and fine.

But Yao Jinse knew that the peace in the palace would never last long. Everyone had no chance to get together right now, but after a while, it would be the New Year.

After the emperor ascended the throne, he had been busy with court affairs and had not visited the harem very often. However, as the emperor's foundation became more stable, the disputes in the harem were really about to begin.

Yao Jinse was holding a copy of Mencius in her hand, thinking about these things in her mind, when she turned around and saw Bai Tao coming in after pulling aside the curtain.

"My lord, Miao'er has sent back a message."

Bai Tao bowed slightly and spoke softly.

Yao Jinse looked calm, lowered her head and turned a page, and asked in a low voice: "What do you mean?"
