Yusui Chang'an

Chapter 974 Bragging about government affairs
Wangshu Palace.

The emperor and the concubine were sitting on opposite sides, with food and wine in front of them. The emperor poured a glass of wine for the concubine himself, but the concubine declined unmoved.

The emperor was not annoyed and drank a drink by himself, talking about his achievements in blackmailing thousands of horses in Mobei and the recent government affairs.

Concubine Jade looked cold, her lowered eyes full of disgust and sarcasm.

Earlier, Zheng Cheng sent cakes to say that Lin Jinyan was in danger yesterday. Concubine Yu couldn't help but asked with concern, but Zheng Cheng said that the people sent to the Lin Mansion had not returned yet and they did not know whether Lin Jinyan was injured.

At this time, the emperor came to Wangshu Palace for dinner. Knowing that Concubine Yu wanted to know about Lin Jinyan, he deliberately talked about him with appetite, bragging about his political achievements in a humble tone.

Concubine Jade lost her appetite just listening to it, and remained expressionless and silent throughout the whole process. The emperor sang a one-man show for a long time as usual, and Concubine Jade did not take the initiative to ask. He drank another glass of wine and took the initiative to bring up the topic:
"Tomorrow is the palace examination. The Lin family girl you like, her brother is also among them."

When Concubine Yu heard this, she paused for a moment and raised her eyes:
"I heard that she was in danger yesterday?"

The emperor smiled, raised his wine glass and touched it lightly with the wine glass in front of Concubine Yu:
"I know you like her, so I sent someone to ask."

Understanding the emperor's hint, Concubine Yu tightened her hand under the table, endured the discomfort in her heart, and raised her hand to raise the wine glass.

The bitter strong wine burned her throat. Concubine Yu frowned and put down the glass:
"Your Majesty, can you speak now?"

The emperor drank the wine with a cheerful expression, and then said that Lin Jinyan was unharmed, and Concubine Yu was completely relieved:
"A miserable child without a mother, and no one knows who wants to harm her?"

As she spoke, she felt the heat on the back of her hand. Concubine Yu suddenly stood up and stood with her back to the emperor, her face full of disgust.

The emperor took back his hand, his good mood was mostly gone, and he lost interest in drinking. He stared at Concubine Jade's back for a long time, then got up and left the room without saying a word. Hearing the sound of the door opening, everyone outside the house hurriedly saluted respectfully. The little prince leaned forward and glanced into the house, and saw Concubine Jade standing by the table with a cold face, and felt a little relieved.

Zheng Cheng glanced at the situation in the room, knowing that the emperor was not in a good mood at the moment, so he did not disturb him and ordered the palace servants to follow him quietly.

After the people left, the little prince came into the room to show concern. Concubine Yu softened her expression and told Su'e to prepare water to cleanse her hands.

After Concubine Jade had cleaned her hands several times, Su'e handed over the handkerchief and spoke carefully:
"Your Majesty, I have heard that the Queen has given Miss Lin something to appease her. As a rule, Miss Lin will go to the palace tomorrow to express her gratitude. Since you like Miss Lin, you just told His Majesty that His Majesty will definitely allow Miss Lin to come to see you. , Why should you be so cold-faced to Your Majesty?"

The little prince stepped forward with surprise in his eyes:
"Mother, will Sister Yan come tomorrow?"

Concubine Yu raised her hand and caressed her son's cheek:

"We, mother and son, are restricted everywhere in this palace. Why should we let her come here to attract attention? I just see that she lost her mother when she was born, and she is well-behaved and polite. I feel sorry for her. I know she is good for no reason other than relatives. That’s enough.”

Seeing the disappointed expression on the little prince's face, Concubine Yu smiled angrily and poked him on the head.

Su'e carried the water basin out of the house, handed it to the rough envoy palace maid, then quickly left Wangshu Palace, whispered a few words to the guards guarding the door, and then turned back.

Seeing the jade jade standing in the courtyard, Su'e's eyes flashed. When she passed by, she heard the jade jade whisper softly:
"Your Majesty is not kind to us. You must have a conscience."

Su'e paused slightly, then raised her feet and left.
