Chapter 7 The Legend of Zhen Huan (6)
"I thought you were having so much fun you didn't want to come back!" Hearing the voice inside, Wangyou finally remembered what she had forgotten.
She forgot that the Emperor had said he would come to have breakfast with her!
"Your Majesty, may Your Majesty enjoy boundless blessings and peace!" Fucha Yixin quickly knelt down to pay her respects. Her friend hadn't mentioned that the Emperor would be here; would Wangyou misunderstand?
"Your Majesty, I need to chat with my girlfriends. Why don't you go back to the Hall of Mental Cultivation to review the memorials?" Wangyou said with a smile, pulling Yixin up.
"I'll go back to Yanxi Palace first!" Fucha Yixin felt that she was not suitable to be here. Her best friend was as formidable as ever, and even the Emperor was being urged to leave.
Wangyou grabbed Yixin, who was about to flee, and looked at Yongzheng with a smile, "Your Majesty, please go back and review the memorials. I will bring you some soup later!"
"Alright, you chat with your girlfriends. I'll go take care of things now and come keep you company tonight!" Yongzheng smiled, not wanting to disturb the two any longer, and strode away.
"Wangyou, you just drove the Emperor away like that!" Yixin said with a sigh of relief.
"Is that not allowed?"
"He's the Emperor!" Yi Xin felt her heart couldn't take it. Although her friends often teased her father and brothers, he was still the Emperor!
"What's wrong with the Emperor? Even the Emperor can't disturb us sisters' chat!" Wangyou wasn't worried at all.
As for Yongzheng suddenly remembering those reports that said Princess Wangyou had once again driven Lord Daishan away, or that Princess Wangyou had once again run away from home.
Back in the Qianqing Palace, Yongzheng refocused his attention and continued to carefully review the memorials.
"Sister Yixin, where do you live in Yanxi Palace?"
"I live in the main hall of Yanxi Palace, by special permission of the Emperor, as do Xia Dongchun from the east wing and An Lingrong from the west wing!"
"Were you checked when you entered the palace?"
"No, the Imperial Household Department has taken care of everything! Wangyou, is there something wrong?"
"I'll have Bai Zhi go back with you later and inspect your Yanxi Palace thoroughly, just in case there's anything harmful inside!"
“Okay!” Yi Xin didn’t refuse. Her friend had her reasons, and she just needed to listen. Anyway, she wouldn’t hurt her.
"Wangyou, your Chengqian Palace is really luxurious. Compared to your Chengqian Palace, Yanxi Palace can only be described as barely acceptable!" Yixin said with some envy, but it was just envy.
"Whichever one you like, I'll have someone send it to the palace!"
"No, I still want to live a good life. All the decorations in your palace are exquisite. They must have been prepared with the Emperor's care. I don't want to be a nuisance!" Yixin said with a smile.
She wasn't as pretty as Wangyou, nor as clever, but that didn't matter. As long as she was obedient, she could be a good mascot.
The two chatted for a while longer and had lunch together. Fucha Yixin then prepared to go back, while Baizhi followed her.
As Wangyou expected, a lot of things were found in Fucha Yixin's room, such as a bed soaked in musk, a drug that made people sleepy and irritable placed in the pillow, even the chair she was sitting on was fumigated with musk, and a large lump of musk was dug out from the tree roots in the yard.
Yixin was terrified. So many problematic items! How afraid they must be of her giving birth to the child!
"My lord, I will take these things back and dispose of them!"
"Take her away quickly, and tell your empress to be careful. She must not touch her!" Yi Xin was very worried. This was only her first day in the palace, and sure enough, the harem was not easy to navigate. She had to cling to her girlfriends' coattails.
Back at Chengqian Palace, Baizhi told Wangyou about what she had found in the main hall of Yanxi Palace. Wangyou was speechless. "I remember this musk is quite expensive, how come they're using it so extravagantly!"
Afterwards, Wangyou had people use those that could be used in medicine, and dispose of those that couldn't. There were only a few people they could deal with, so there was no rush; they could just take their time.
After receiving the result, Wangyou nonchalantly fell asleep in the Hall of Mental Cultivation. Yongzheng waited and waited, but Wangyou didn't come. "Su Peisheng, hasn't your Consort Xian arrived yet?"
"Your Majesty, news has come from Chengqian Palace that Consort Xian is taking a nap!"
"At this hour, she really should take her afternoon nap!" Yongzheng nodded, thinking to himself, how could this girl leave me behind!
Emperor Yongzheng was displeased and also wanted to take a nap. Since Chengqian Palace was close to Qianqing Palace, he simply walked out the door.
Upon arriving at Chengqian Palace, Yongzheng found it quiet. Without having anyone announce his arrival, he went directly into the inner room, looked at Wangyou who was sleeping soundly, pinched her nose affectionately, and then went to bed to sleep with her.
Looking at the little girl in his arms, Yongzheng felt his heart was full. In just ten days, he had already gotten used to having her by his side.
Smelling the faint fragrance emanating from Wangyou, Yongzheng also fell asleep.
When Wangyou woke up, she felt someone else beside her. It was a familiar scent, and she knew it was Yongzheng.
Seeing that Yongzheng was still asleep, Wangyou became playful, pinching Yongzheng's nose and mouth, having a great time until someone grabbed her hand.
"Did you have fun?"
"Why are you awake?!" I haven't had enough fun yet.
"If you keep playing like this, even if I'm sound asleep, I'll wake up eventually!" Yongzheng mischievously tackled Wangyou to the ground and then pinched her little nose.
"Yinzhen, it's time to get up!" Wangyou instinctively sensed some danger and quickly darted out from under Yongzheng, then said without turning her head.
Seeing Wangyou's movements, Yongzheng now believed that this girl was indeed quite skilled in martial arts.
……
Inside the Broken Jade Pavilion!
"My two elder sisters, Bai Zhi from Consort Xian's palace just discovered a lot of harmful things in the main hall of Yanxi Palace!" An Lingrong said fearfully.
"What are they?"
"Lingrong was far away and could only vaguely smell the musk. Miss Baizhi took everything with her and also sent a lot of things to Consort Fucha!" An Lingrong said with envy.
"I've heard that Consort Xian and Noble Lady Fucha had a very good relationship when they were young, so it's normal for Consort Xian to do this. But who put those harmful things in there and let them run rampant?" Shen Meizhuang had obviously heard about it as well.
"Who knows? Life in the palace is tough. Only if we sisters are of one mind can we last!"
Wangyou was unaware of what was happening in Suiyuxuan, and of course, she had no interest in knowing. With Wangyou sending people to investigate, the newly arrived concubines also began to check the items in their own rooms.
After finding them, they were all thrown away far away. Upon investigation, unsurprisingly, the Empress was summoned to Shou Kang Palace. After returning, her headaches recurred, and the power of the palace was handed over to Consort Hua and Consort Jing.
As for Wangyou, Yongzheng asked her about it, and she showed no interest whatsoever. No matter who held power in the palace, they would not neglect her.
Besides, she doesn't want to do such tiring work!
Seeing that Wangyou refused three times in a row, Yongzheng had no choice but to give up the idea.
Yongzheng was aware of the Empress and Empress Dowager's secret actions. He just wanted to see what his mother planned to do, but he was disappointed as always!
That evening, Wangyou carried a bowl of nourishing chicken soup and strolled leisurely toward the Hall of Mental Cultivation.
Emperor Yongzheng, being very accommodating, allowed Wangyou to drink the wine she had brought.
"Yinzhen, you're drinking it so deliciously. Is this chicken soup really that good? I want some too!" Seeing Yongzheng drinking the chicken soup, Wangyou felt her mouth watering again.
"You haven't drunk the chicken soup you brought yourself?"
"It's just that I got cravings because you were drinking so happily, Yinzhen!"
