Chapter 274 Sharing worries
Cooling terrace?
If she remembered correctly, Zhen Huan was currently at the Qingliang Terrace, taking good care of the seriously ill Prince Guo.
An Lingrong tapped her knee lightly, as if lost in thought.
"When did this happen?"
"My Lord, the Emperor made this impromptu decision after his break. People in the Yangxin Palace are already packing up."
"I heard that Prince Guo was unable to come and pay his respects to the Empress Dowager due to her illness, so he submitted a memorial of apology. The Emperor, grateful for Prince Guo's filial piety, decided to visit him at Qingliang Terrace."
Baoque reported all the news he got from his brother.
In Baoque's opinion, it was very cold in the winter, so why would the emperor run out of the palace to suffer at this time?
She asked this question out of confusion.
"The Emperor's motive for this trip is not to drink. Ganlu Temple is near Qingliang Terrace, and the Emperor is still thinking about Zhen Huan, who asked to leave the palace."
An Lingrong explained calmly.
"Master, I don't understand. Didn't the Emperor allow Concubine Wan to leave the palace? How could this happen again..."
"The emperor regrets it."
Concubine Hua delivered the news a few days before the palace was moved. Su Peisheng personally went to the Imperial Household Department to inquire about Princess Longyue's share and asked the servants of the Imperial Household Department to do their best.
Other princes and princesses in the palace had never enjoyed such treatment.
"That girl died of hemorrhage while giving birth to the Second Prince, and the Emperor has been thinking about her for so many years. Wanpin has similar features to that girl, so the Emperor will naturally keep her in his heart."
An Lingrong continued to add.
"People are like this. The more they can't get something, the more they miss it."
"Our emperor is not a great saint."
The powerful master accidentally saw the portrait of Queen Chunyuan, and Baoque naturally knew what she was talking about.
She was by her master's side every day and witnessed with her own eyes how favored Wanpin was.
Baoque asked worriedly.
"Master, do you think the Emperor will be crazy enough to bring Wanpin back?"
An Lingrong shook his head.
"That doesn't seem possible at the moment."
Although Zhen Huan was brought to Qingliangtai when she was sick, she did not leave after she recovered. Instead, she took good care of Prince Guo.
An Lingrong guessed that Zhen Huan must have softened her heart towards Prince Guo.
As long as Zhen Huan avoids him and does not actively seek peace, the emperor will never bow his head and beg her to come back.
"Bao Que, did they say when the Emperor will leave?"
"My Lord, the specific date has not yet been determined. However, Eunuch Su is pressing us hard, so I think we may leave in the next few days."
I heard that the renovation of Yongshou Palace will take some time.
The emperor gave this important task to Su Peisheng, who ran to Yongshou Palace to keep an eye on things all day long. Those who were idle in the Ministry of Internal Affairs were afraid of him, so they worked day and night.
Su Peisheng has been with the emperor for many years and must be the one who understands the emperor's thoughts best.
An Lingrong thought for a few breaths and gave the order decisively.
"Bao Que, send someone to secretly pass a message to Zhong Cui Palace, and let Concubine Rou..."
People's hearts are unpredictable. If you want this trip to go smoothly, it would be best to let Concubine Rou, who is somewhat similar to Empress Chunyuan, accompany you.
It would be great if I could meet Zhen Huan at Qingliangtai.
When someone similar to Queen Chunyuan appeared beside the emperor, even if Zhen Huan missed Longyue, she would not take the initiative to show up.
The four words "Wanwan Lei Qing" are too hurtful after all.
The next morning, Concubine Hua received a small note from Yongshou Palace. Without asking any questions, she asked Songzhi to go to the Jingshifang to pass on the message, asking her to arrange for an elderly person without children to sleep with her.
The green card of Concubine Rou was placed in the most conspicuous middle position.
Before dinner, news came from the Yangxin Palace that the emperor had turned over the name card of Concubine Rou.
An Lingrong ate an extra small bowl of rice with satisfaction.
Two days later, Xiao Xiazi from the Yangxin Palace went to the Chuxiu Palace in person to convey the emperor's oral order.
"Empress Hui, the Emperor wants to go to Qingliang Terrace to visit the sick Prince Guo and has asked you to accompany him."
"The Emperor is worried that Princess Longyue will be left unattended, so he has granted you permission to bring her along."
"Thank you very much, Your Majesty, for your grace."
Shen Meizhuang bowed respectfully in the direction of the Yangxin Palace to express her gratitude.
Caiyue stuffed an inconspicuous little purse into Xiao Xiazi's hand.
"It's snowing heavily outside. I'm sorry to trouble you, Eunuch Xia, to come here. This is the Empress's invitation to tea. Please don't refuse."
Xiao Xiazi took it with a smile.
"I thank Concubine Hui for the reward."
"The Imperial Astronomical Observatory has calculated that the 25th day of the winter month is an auspicious day for travel. Your Majesty, please make preparations early."
"I heard that it's bitterly cold in Qingliang Terrace. Your Majesty, please pack some more things for Princess Longyue."
After he finished speaking, he saw Huipin looked thoughtful, so he stood up and said goodbye.
"Caiyue, what do you think Xiao Xiazi meant by that last sentence?"
Shen Meizhuang always felt that the little eunuch had something else to say.
"Master, everyone in the palace knows that the Emperor loves our young master. I think there is nothing wrong with Xiao Xiazi's instructions."
"Okay, I understand. You can take Caixing and pack your travel luggage."
The emperor really loves his children. Longyue is still young, so it is normal for him to show more concern for her.
When Shen Meizhuang thought about it this way, she put aside the doubts in her heart.
Everyone was still immersed in the joy of Concubine Shu's move to the palace, but in the blink of an eye, they were caught off guard by the news that the Emperor was taking Concubine Hui out of the palace.
Concubine Jing, who lived across a palace road from Chuxiu Palace, was the first to receive the news.
In her memory, there were only two people who had the honor of traveling with the emperor, Queen Chunyuan and Zhen Huan, and now there was one more person, Shen Meizhuang.
Concubine Jing held the Seventh Prince in her arms with a sad look on her face.
She already has the Seventh Prince, so she should be content.
But I still feel a little uncomfortable.
Feng Zhaoruo! Feng Zhaoruo!
You have seen how obsessed the emperor is with Queen Chunyuan. He doesn't even care about the life of the eldest prince. What are you thinking about?
Besides, Shen Meizhuang’s trip to Qingliangtai may not be a good thing.
After Concubine Jing told Baozhu to be careful with her words and actions, she stayed in Xianfu Palace and played with the Seventh Prince.
When Huanbi in the back hall of Changchun Palace heard the news, she paced back and forth anxiously in the corridor.
"Fubao, I heard that the Emperor only ordered Huipin to accompany him on this trip. How do you think she could be so blessed?"
"My dear mistress, the snow outside is as big as teacups. Please come inside and warm up."
Fubao pulled the person into the house with concern.
After the deposed queen was imprisoned in Jingren Palace, she never received any news from there again.
After a period of being frightened, Fubao decided to stay quietly by Concubine He's side.
"My lady, I heard that Princess Longyue will also be accompanying you. I think this is a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity..."
After listening to Fubao's analysis, Huanbi clapped her hands.
"Fubao, if I am lucky enough to conceive a dragon fetus, I will give you the credit for the achievement!"
"Let's go to Chuxiu Palace to visit Concubine Hui."
When Shen Meizhuang heard Huanbi asking for a meeting again, she smiled and let her in.
"Mrs. He, it's snowing so heavily today, why are you still here to visit Longyue?"
"Empress Hui, I am here to share your worries."
After paying her respects, Huanbi replied with a smile.
"Oh? You want to share my worries. What do you mean by that?"
Shen Meizhuang was a little confused by her incoherent words.
"Your Majesty, the Emperor has only chosen you to accompany him on this trip. This is enough to show how much he values you."
"I think this is the best time for you to leave the palace and conceive a dragon fetus."
"However, Princess Longyue following you all the time will be the biggest obstacle."
