After the replacement of the delicate imperial concubine, my emperor will never come to court again

Chapter 427 No Longer Equal

Ren Yuhuan heard this and said with a smile: "Okay, I will go to the Yangxin Palace."

As long as you talk it out, the doubts in your heart will be eliminated on the spot.

From then on, Shen Yanzhi rested in the Yangxin Palace. Every day, the eunuchs would carry the name card of the concubine up, but Shen Yanzhi would not even look at it.

The eunuchs all knew that Shen Yanzhi would not flip the cards, but they still delivered them every day according to the rules. After all, Shen Yanzhi did not explicitly say that he did not want them.

And this way it won't offend other concubines.

The concubines initially tried to bribe the eunuchs in charge to put the signs in conspicuous places so that they could be easily drawn.

But after hearing that Shen Yanzhi didn't even watch it, I changed my approach.

The eunuch in charge lost a lot of income and was not very satisfied. He instigated the concubines and spread rumors.

The situation where the Imperial Concubine and Concubine Qi were originally evenly matched has now become one-sided.

Those who had tried hard to curry favor with Concubine Qi also went to the Yikun Palace. Concubine Qi was angry and anxious.

In order to make Shen Yanzhi see her good side, Concubine Qi asked Wang Lian about a batch of new tea that was presented as tribute to the palace, and she specially organized a tea-tasting party.

In order to ensure that Shen Yanzhi would attend, Concubine Qi had the invitation to Ren Yuhuan delivered directly to the Palace of Tranquil Longevity.

"Your Majesty, Concubine Qi wants you to participate as well!"

Shen Yanzhi glanced at the invitation and said, "It's dry weather, so drink more tea. Is this an excuse? Never mind. She has put a lot of thought into it. I'll go on this trip!"

Ren Yuhuan pouted and smiled faintly, "Yes, it is troublesome. Your Majesty, please go. I don't like drinking tea."

Shen Yanzhi knew that Ren Yuhuan was jealous, but this made Shen Yanzhi even happier.

"This invitation is for you. If you don't go, what reason do I have to go?"

Ren Yuhuan burst out laughing: "Your Majesty!"

Shen Yanzhi hugged Ren Yuhuan, and the two of them fell on the bed, with their black hair falling on Shen Yanzhi's shoulders like a waterfall.

"Your Majesty, I have saved Wang Lian this time. Will the Queen Mother bear a grudge against me?"

Shen Yanzhi nodded and frowned slightly, feeling a little disappointed.

Ren Yuhuan turned her head and glanced at Shen Yanzhi, then stretched out her hand to rub Shen Yanzhi's neck and said coquettishly: "I am complaining to Your Majesty, but Your Majesty is not happy to listen. You didn't even give Concubine Qi an invitation, but Your Majesty is rushing to go. This-"

Before Ren Yuhuan could finish her words, her soft lips were sucked by Shen Yanzhi.

At the tea-tasting party, all those present were from Concubine Qi's party. They all sat separately, ready to help Concubine Qi build momentum.

Just when the tea tasting party was about to begin, Shen Yanzhi arrived with Ren Yuhuan in his arms.

Everyone present was staring at Shen Yanzhi and Ren Yuhuan being so intimate, and no one dared to look back at Concubine Qi.

Concubine Qi sat upright and smiled: "Your Majesty is here, sister, please sit down quickly, we are all waiting for you!"

Ren Yuhuan smiled faintly: "Sister, you are very elegant, but I am not interested in tea. If Your Majesty had not hurried to come, I probably would not have come."

Having said this, the concubines present didn't know how to respond.

Concubine Qi didn't seem to care. She turned directly to Shen Yanzhi and her tone was much more enthusiastic.

"Your Majesty loves tea. I have kept this in mind. Today I have prepared your favorite tea. Would you like me to make it for you?"

"Thank you for your help, my dear."

Shen Yanzhi sat leaning against Ren Yuhuan. Even though Concubine Qi had reserved a seat next to him, Shen Yanzhi pretended not to see it and sat directly with Ren Yuhuan, leaning against her and lying down lazily.

Concubine Qi worked hard to make tea, with landscapes and flowers, which naturally won a lot of applause. Shen Yanzhi rewarded her with a lot of things on the spot, which were actually prepared by the Ministry of Internal Affairs before he came.

By the way, he also rewarded two talented people who performed well to show his support for Concubine Qi.

As expected, Ren Yuhuan didn't drink tea. She only took a sip when Shen Yanzhi brought it to her lips.

"Your Majesty, I am tired and want to go back to visit the little prince."

The concubines present were all excited after hearing this.

Ren Yuhuan thought that the little prince would naturally return to Yikun Palace. His Majesty was now living in the Yangxin Palace, which meant that Shen Yanzhi had to stay.

Concubine Qi also became excited and quickly persuaded with a smile: "It's a little early, sister, can you sit for a while longer?"

Shen Yanzhi stood up slowly and said to Ren Yuhuan: "I'll go with you to see the child!"

Everyone present was shocked.

Could it be that Your Majesty only cares about Ren Yuhuan?
Concubine Qi could only stand up and see him off with a smile.

"Your Majesty, can you come to Chanyue Palace sometime?"

Concubine Qi called Shen Yanzhi with tenderness and affection.

"I'll go when I have time."

Shen Yanzhi's expression was indescribably cold, yet he did not show any joy at all. He did not even try to find an excuse to appease Concubine Qi.

Concubine Qi said this shyly to save her face, but got such a result. It was undoubtedly a humiliation.

Shen Yanzhi and Ren Yuhuan left in a carriage.

The concubines standing behind immediately began to join in.

"I don't know what kind of magic potion Ren Yuhuan fed His Majesty, how come he doesn't get bored with being together all day long!"

"Yes, Your Majesty is definitely willing to go, but Ren Yuhuan is pestering him every day!"

Some of them even had their own thoughts and deliberately said, "Oh, there's no comparison. Who lets her use the child as an excuse?"

These words touched Concubine Qi's heart.

The Queen Mother also reminded her many times that only if she had a prince in her belly would she have a future in the harem.

What's so great about Ren Yuhuan?
It's just that she gave birth to a prince, and now he is the only child. Isn't it certain that Your Majesty treats her well?
Concubine Qi's face was as cold as ice: "You are the only ones who talk too much. Why were you all so dumb just now? And you are all trying to seduce His Majesty. Don't think I don't know what's going on! Disperse!"

All the concubines were angry and left in a hurry.

When Concubine Qi returned to the room, she fell on the couch and became angry.

Suddenly he sneered and sat up: "You want to use the child to fight me, right?"

The old nanny wanted to persuade Concubine Qi not to hit the child. After all, the Queen Mother had clearly instructed her to do so. Doing so would not only offend His Majesty, but would also easily offend the Queen Mother.

But she didn't dare to say it.

Concubine Qi called her personal maid and ordered, "When your majesty and Ren Yuhuan are in the Yangxin Palace, come back and report to me!"

"Yes!"

Concubine Qi's mood improved. She asked someone to take out the good things sent by Wang Lian and see them. Her mood became even better.

"Pack all these up and send them to Madam's carriage when she arrives."

The maids in Concubine Qi's palace all looked down on Concubine Qi's behavior and gossiped privately, saying that after the Liu family fell, there were no generals in the court, which gave Concubine Qi's father the opportunity to take the throne. Before that, there was only one general in the family, who must have never seen the world, so he did the behavior of moving things back to her mother's house.
