Chapter 124 That makes sense. Then I will beat you.
Yanwan and Chunchan's coordinated actions made Concubine Ke feel a little uneasy.
Jinzhong sent away all the servants in Xianfu Palace at some point in time.
Faced with Yan Wan's relentless pressure, Concubine Ke could only retreat.
She accidentally retreated into the snow, and Yan Wan pushed her, causing Concubine Ke to fall into the snow pit.
"What are you doing, Concubine Ling? Do you want to hit me?"
Yan Wan originally just wanted to scare Concubine Ke, but when she heard Concubine Ke say this, she nodded in agreement.
"That makes sense. Then I will beat you."
As she spoke, Yan Wan grabbed Concubine Ke by the clothes and slapped her twice fiercely.
Jinzhong was watching silently from behind, and when he saw Concubine Ke trying to struggle to get up, Jinzhong hurried over to stop them.
"Oh, Lady Ke, you can't do this to Concubine Ling."
"Empress Ling really didn't say anything in front of the emperor. She just played a piece of pipa. The emperor was worried about Imperial Noble Consort Huixian."
"You can't hit Concubine Ling just because of this."
Concubine Ke couldn't believe what she heard.
"Eunuch Jinzhong, it was clearly Concubine Ling who beat me, how can you say that I beat Concubine Ling?"
Jinzhong had originally been pretending to mediate the fight, but now he wasn't trying to do that.
He pretended to be forced. He fell to his knees.
"I really didn't see what you said, Master Ke. You can't take advantage of your Mongolian origin to oppress me."
Yan Wan slapped Concubine Ke a few times and then stopped. At least she didn't want to look too scary to the emperor.
At this moment, he just held Concubine Ke tightly and told her not to move.
Jinzhong knelt at the feet of Concubine Ke, kowtowed and begged for mercy, and several times the brim of Jinzhong's hat hit Concubine Ke's ankle.
Concubine Ke had to be on guard against Yan Wan and also wanted to escape, so she had no time to pay attention to what was happening with her feet.
After struggling for about a quarter of an hour, Concubine Ke could no longer struggle, so Yan Wan let go.
Upon seeing this, Concubine Ke wanted to run out and complain to the Emperor.
Yan Wan didn't stop her. She messed up her hair and casually took off a few pearl flowers on her head.
Pretending to be beaten, this old-fashioned way of winning favor is the most effective.
Yanwan pretended to slap herself a few times, but Jinzhong stopped her and grabbed a handful of snow from the ground and gave it to Yanwan.
"use this."
Jinzhong couldn't bear to see Yanwan really hurt, so he wiped her clean with snow.
As soon as the two arrived at the Palace of Tranquil Longevity, Yanwan's face turned red, just like the swollen face of Concubine Ke who was hit by Yanwan.
When Concubine Ke saw Yan Wan like this, she was so angry that she pointed at Yan Wan.
"Okay, Concubine Ling, you..."
As soon as Concubine Ke stretched out her hand, the little palace maid in front of her pulled her sleeve. Concubine Ke was the legitimate daughter of her mother, the concubine, and was used to being spoiled. Although she knew some ways to win favor, she was still a little anxious.
When she made this move, and looked like she wanted to eat Yan Wan alive, the emperor couldn't help but frown.
"Jinzhong, what's going on?"
"Lady Ke also said that you also sided with Concubine Ling, and you also injured her foot?"
The emperor chose to ask Jinzhong because he did not trust what Concubine Ke said.
When Yanwan and Jinzhong didn't come, Concubine Ke cried and complained, saying that Yanwan deliberately made things difficult for her and deliberately didn't let her live in the main hall of Xianfu Palace, and also said that Yanwan beat her.
But now it seems that Yan Wan was beaten more severely.
As the emperor spoke, he glanced at Concubine Ke. Her foot seemed to be fine as she ran very fast over there.
Jinzhong was questioned by the emperor, but he hesitated and dared not speak, and looked at Yanwan again and again.
Lady Ke was really furious this time.
"Your Majesty, Jinzhong has also been bribed by Concubine Ling, and they are working together to harm me."
When Jinzhong heard this, he tried to explain, but Yanwan stopped him.
"Your Majesty, please do not ask any more questions. I should not have said anything too much. I am of humble origin. It is all my fault. Your Majesty, please just punish me."
Yan Wan tried hard to hold back her tears and said nothing more. But the more she did this, the more anxious Concubine Ke became, and the more the emperor began to question Concubine Ke.
The emperor had already figured out what Yanwan meant. Perhaps Concubine Ke was unhappy that Yanwan made the emperor think of Gao Xiyue and that this had affected Concubine Ke's favor, so Concubine Ke was taking revenge on Yanwan.
And because Concubine Ke was born in Mongolia, no one would question her even if Jinzhong was dragged into the discussion.
"Forget it, Lady Ke, when the incident happened, only you and Concubine Ling were there, and Jinzhong was also involved. No one can prove that you are innocent, and no one can prove that Concubine Ling made things difficult for you.
So be it. "
The emperor made this judgment, and Yan Wan just silently agreed and thanked the emperor.
Concubine Ke was still shouting, and the emperor gave a look to Jinbao who was standing beside him, and soon several palace maids escorted Concubine Ke out.
After Concubine Ke left, the Emperor took Yan Wan by the hand and said to her:
"Lady Ke was born in Mongolia, so she is inevitably spoiled. Don't mind her. Just ignore her when you see her in the future."
Yan Wan just nodded without saying anything, trying her best to show her generosity and grievance.
Upon seeing this, the emperor comforted Yan Wan again.
It was not until lunch time that Yan Wan came out of the Yangxin Palace.
Yan Wan had not walked far when she saw Ling Yunche walking past with someone in the distance.
"He is the chef recommended by the Governor of Sichuan. He was originally supposed to serve the Empress. I heard that the Empress likes spicy food these days, so I asked for him."
Jinzhong explained to Yanwan who that person was, and Yanwan immediately understood what was going on.
“The Queen probably listened to what Grandma Tian said.
The Queen believed in such a stupid idea as the sour boy and spicy girl, and she must be pregnant with a prince."
"The queen is putting on a show. It's our turn to expose her."
Yan Wan continued walking as she spoke, and suddenly she saw someone following Ling Yunche. He looked very familiar. Yan Wan thought about it for a while, and then she realized who it was, and glanced at Jinzhong.
Jinzhong said in tacit agreement:
"It seems that Concubine Wan raising the Tenth Prince has given the Queen Mother a great stimulus."
Yan Wan was originally planning to take action, but when she saw the empress dowager's men moving, she told Jinzhong to hold back for the time being and wait and see what the empress dowager would do.
The Empress Dowager laughed for a long time after hearing Ruyi's sour and spicy words.
“It really made me laugh.
Fortunately, there are no smart people in the emperor's harem. Not to mention Yi Xiu, who would take action when she saw a pregnant woman, anyone could see that she was trying to hide her intentions."
Fuga also laughed.
"What about us?"
The Queen Mother stood up and said:
"I heard that the wife of Duke Cheng'en has entered the palace. It should be lunch time now. Come with me to take a look and see what kind of sour and spicy woman our queen is.
Ask the Emperor to come over as well."
Soon, everyone prepared lunch in Yiku Palace.
Ruyi had indeed prepared a table full of spicy dishes.
Except for Ruyi, everyone else was choked and speechless.
The Queen Mother coughed for a long time and said:
"Queen, your baby will probably be a princess."
Ruyi smiled and nodded.
"That's probably the case. I love to eat these all day long, and people in the palace say the same thing. Sour boy, spicy girl, I guess that's it."
The Queen Mother smiled silently. She noticed that Ruyi's mother, Lady Cheng'en, looked unhappy.
Ask him.
"Madam, do you hope that the Queen will give birth to a prince or a princess?"
