Descending Phoenix- To be Emperor - C307
Feng Ningyan put down the pearl hairpin and helped the imperial concubine sit on the soft bed. The imperial concubine then summoned Duan Huayin in.
They just saw that Duan Huayin was wearing a simple and elegant light yellow Palace dress, even her chignon was combed according to the habits of the women of Great Yue Kingdom. Her slender and graceful figure actually looked even more refreshing and attractive than the clothes worn by the Southern Frontier Princess s, and was even more extravagant.
The Imperial Concubine praised, “Aiya, Princess Hua-Yin is truly a peerless beauty. When she wears our Da Yue clothing, she looks even more ethereal. If I were a man, I would definitely keep you by my side.
Duan Huayin smiled red and sat on the bed with the imperial concubine.
“It was all due to the Imperial Noble Concubine’s kindness. The life guard room was customized to fit you all. Hua Yin, come and thank the Empress.”
The imperial concubine laughed, took off the pair of golden steps on her head and helped Duan Huayin put it on, “Princess, don’t be so formal, we will be family in the future.”
Feng Ningyan never thought that the relationship between the imperial concubine and Duan Huayin would actually be so close that he could even casually gift the steps that the imperial concubine usually wore to her.
It seems that Duan Huayin had taken care of the Departmant Six for the imperial concubine quite well.
Feng Ningyan thought that it was also a good thing for the palace to have someone to help the imperial concubine.
Hearing that the imperial concubine had said “We will be family in the future”, Feng Ningyan thought, could it be that the imperial concubine had already recommended Duan Huayin to the emperor and planned to call her “imperial concubine”?
Duan Huayin rejected her tactfully. With no other choice, he found it hard to refuse her kindness.
She continued, “Ever since Hua Yin took over the duties of the Imperial Noble Concubine and organized the Plum Blossom Meet for the Empress Dowager, he often wandered in the Merlin. The morning sun is very bright, and the plum blossoms in the branches are extremely lively. Does the Empress want to go and watch? ”
The Imperial Consort had originally planned to pay respects to the Empress Dowager, and go to Hail Palace via Merlin to take a look.
Feng Ningyan turned around and took the imperial concubine’s cape and warm hand furnace from young maid’s hands, then followed behind Duan Huayin and the imperial concubine as they walked towards Merlin.
Zhang Yang laughed out loud and said, “Alright then, let’s go!” “Alright then!” “Alright then!
The imperial concubine turned around and said to Feng Ningyan, “Lian Yi, go and fold some of these for the empress dowager. When placed in her bedchamber, not only will they give off a faint fragrance, they can also give off a hint of spring.”
“Yes, Empress.” Hearing that, Feng Ningyan immediately walked towards the Plum Tree.
At this moment, a burst of laughter suddenly came from within the forest. There were both males and females.
The man’s voice was slightly shrill, sounding like young eunuch s.
Feng Ningyan stopped in his tracks, he did not expect that there would be someone in the Plum Forest who was so unbridled and playful.
The imperial concubine also frowned, signalling everyone not to make a sound.
From the other side of Merlin came the laughter of the palace maid: “This one is good! “Climb higher, climb higher!”
The young eunuch that was climbing the tree was a little timid: “Aiyo, sister, just to please our unfavoured master, you should put in the effort. It’s about time.”
With a “kacha” sound, the plum branch was broken.
The palace maid cheered as she took over Mei Qizi and said, “We are servants, isn’t it perfectly justified to please the lord? If I can’t climb up to the top, at least I’ll still be a celebrity in front of my master. If there’s anything I can’t do without you. ”
The young eunuch sighed: “Sigh, I am so envious of Eunuch Jiang, Sister Lian Yi and the others, to be able to serve by my imperial concubine’s side, wealth and glory are all my life!”
The young maid scoffed, “What’s so good about serving in front of an imperial concubine? Didn’t you know that the Fanghua Palace was in a mess yesterday? I heard that the imperial concubine was especially jealous, precisely because Su Caijun and Li Wan were favored by the emperor a few days ago and took turns suffering from illness. The imperial concubine, on the other hand, couldn’t be summoned by the emperor, so she confined them to the Flowerflower Palace … To cut the grass, we have to get rid of the roots.
“Shh!” The young eunuch hurriedly interrupted the young maid’s words, “Do you still want to live? How dare you spread such nonsense like this?”
As the two of them spoke, they hurriedly ran away with Plum Blossom in their arms.
After Feng Ningyan heard this, he turned to look at the imperial concubine, only to see her chest rising and falling in anger, her face ashen.
“Bastard!” “Little Zhong, go and find out which palace’s female eunuch is there. I’ll smash their mouths!”
Seeing that the Imperial Concubine was so angry, Duan Huayin anxiously supported her and advised:
“Empress, do not be bothered by these gossips. Your heart should be moved by them. Actually, this morning Hua Yin had also heard about this matter from someone. He said that the deaths of Su Caijun and Li Wan were caused by Imperial Concubine … “But Hua Yin knows that the Imperial Noble Concubine is heartless and kind, and would never do that …”
“What?” Do you mean that’s how everyone in the palace thinks of it? ” Hearing Duan Huayin’s words, the imperial concubine was so angry that she felt dizzy.
The Imperial Concubine cared about her reputation the most. She had always treated others with kindness and kindness, and ever since the Empress had been sent to the Cold Palace and she had taken charge of the six palaces, she had never competed with any of her concubines for their affection.
He didn’t expect that after enduring for so long, he had been made notorious by the deaths of Su Caijun and Li Wan.
The key was that these words were passed down from mouth to mouth, from one to ten to a hundred. There was no way to explain it!
Moreover, what would the Empress Dowager think if news of this happened to her? If the empress dowager also believed that the imperial concubine was especially jealous and took back the phoenix imprint in anger, then everything would be over!
Feng Ningyan anxiously held onto the imperial concubine and placed his hand on her wrist. He felt her pulse becoming extremely chaotic, he immediately turned around and said to the eunuchs: “The imperial concubine’s body is not feeling well, quickly bring the imperial carriage here and pass on the medicine to the Chen Ming Palace.”
The Imperial Concubine’s legs had gone soft. She sat on a rock at the side, her hands trembling.
Feng Ningyan could only hold her hand tightly.
“Empress, those who clear themselves will eventually be broken by the truth! “Empress Dowager, you mustn’t take these rumors to heart …”
At this time, Duan Huayin lowered his head and did not speak.
The Imperial Concubine took a deep breath for a long time, but her pulse still did not calm down. When Bu Che came over, she boarded the imperial carriage and weakly laid on the ground as she went back to the Chen Ming Palace.
Feng Ningyan knew that these worries would affect pregnant women and babies, so he didn’t dare to take even half a step outside. He hastily bowed towards Duan Huayin, “Princess Hua Yin, please return to Yi Xiang Palace, this servant will accompany Imperial Concubine back to the palace first.”
Duan Huayin immediately said: “If there’s anything I need, can Miss Lian Yi please pass me a message.”
Feng Ningyan nodded his head, then supported Bu Lu as he left.
Early in the morning, this small disturbance caused the Chen Ming Palace to be unable to calm down.
After the imperial physician had seen her, he said that the imperial concubine’s body was weak and that she could not be angered until the third month of her pregnancy. Otherwise, her fetus would be affected and she would be in danger of giving birth to a child.
After the imperial concubine heard this, she cried, “If it weren’t for the empress’s framing, causing my birth, how could I have been physically weak …”
At that time, Feng Ningyan and the imperial concubine had been forced to kneel in front of the Chen Ming Palace, and they had only seen her give birth to miscreants.
She took hold of the Imperial Concubine’s hand and softly said, “The Empress’s blessing is deep, so in just a few months, she has returned to being a descendant of the dragon clan. As long as we peacefully recuperate, we will be able to successfully give birth to a prince. “
