Chapter 96: Concubine Becomes Concubine 3

At the same time, in the Imperial Palace, the Hall of Mental Cultivation.

A man in a bright yellow dragon robe bowed his head in front of the desk. He seemed to have seen something in the memorial, and his brows furrowed slightly.

At this moment, Su Peisheng walked in from outside. He bowed:

"Your Majesty, the Empress is here and is waiting outside the door for an audience."

Upon hearing this, Yongzheng finally raised his eyelids, and his eyes were dim for a moment, but Su Peisheng, who had his head lowered, did not notice.

"What happened?"

His voice was faint and there was no rise or fall.

"The queen didn't mention it, but there must be something wrong." Su Peisheng shook his head, thinking of something, and said, "I saw Cuiping holding a food box behind the queen."

Upon hearing this, Yongzheng frowned even more tightly, rubbed his temples, and wanted to take a break, so he simply put down the memorial and said:

"Let her in."

The Queen came in soon and bowed: "Your Majesty, I pay my respects to you."

Yongzheng nodded, as serious as ever, and asked calmly, "Why is the Queen here?"

The queen stood up with a smile, walked forward gracefully, took the food box from the maid, opened it, and said softly:

"I made chicken soup. The emperor has been very busy these days. I feel sorry for him, so I dared to come and bother him."

Yongzheng's expression remained unchanged. After all, they had been together for many years, and he thought he knew the queen. She would never come to visit him unless there was something important. He did not comment:

"The Queen has worked hard managing the harem, so from now on, let the palace maids do this kind of thing."

Hearing this, the Queen's smile froze slightly, but she soon smiled again as she thought of something:

"Your Majesty's sympathy is my concubine's blessing."

Seeing that Yongzheng did not refuse, she took out chicken soup from the lunch box and pretended to chat with him, but in fact she went straight to the purpose of her visit today.

She said, "Your Majesty, when we paid our respects today, Concubine Xi and I asked for a favor."

"Oh?" Upon hearing this, Yongzheng's cold expression seemed to be mixed with a hint of doubt.

At this moment, a trace of hesitation flashed across the queen's face, as if she found it difficult to speak.

Yongzheng was a little annoyed. He had already been having trouble sleeping due to insomnia, and the Empress was still keeping him in suspense. He didn't want to guess at all, and his expression became even colder.

"Tell me, what's the matter?"

Upon hearing this, the queen's palms began to sweat, but her face remained calm: "Concubine Xi has a sister, who was previously...a princess in Prince Lian's mansion. With the grace of the emperor, she was allowed to return home."

At this point, the Queen's voice became much lighter. She also knew that Yongzheng disliked Prince Lian and his people, and her heart tightened when she mentioned this title. But when she thought that Concubine Xi dared to disrespect her when she only had one son, she was not someone to be trifled with. So today, she came here to give the Emperor some eye drops:

"The day after tomorrow is the day when Concubine Xi will meet her family. Madam Niu Hulu also handed in a sign and Concubine Xi also told me that she hadn't seen her sister for many years and wanted to meet her, so she planned to ask Madam Niu Hulu to bring her to the palace. I thought that I must inform the emperor of this matter anyway."

As an opponent for many years, the Queen could not understand Concubine Xi's actions. What was the identity of her sister? Not only did she not hide her, but she also brought her into the palace. She was not afraid that the Emperor would find out and she would be implicated. But she wanted to die, so the Queen naturally would not stop her.

Thinking that Concubine Xi had become increasingly arrogant in recent days, and that she was only relying on the fact that she had a son, the Queen's eyes flashed slightly.

The queen, who was lost in thought at the moment, didn't notice at all. When Yongzheng heard her words, he was not displeased. Instead, his pupils suddenly shrank and the hand pressing the ring paused.

After a while, Yongzheng finally heard his own voice echoing in the hall: "The day after tomorrow?"

"Yes, the day after tomorrow."

"I understand. If the Queen has nothing else to do, please leave."

As Yongzheng said this, he had already issued an order to expel the guest.

The queen did not notice anything unusual. She just thought that Yongzheng was dissatisfied with Concubine Xi, and her goal was achieved. So she did not stay any longer and took her leave.

……

The next morning, Sheng Huan was woken up early by the maid to dress and wash up.

Because of her special situation, her clothes were not fancy, just plain blue.

Even though she was wearing such simple clothes, when she came to Mrs. Niuhuru's yard, she still made Mrs. Niuhuru's eyes light up.

"Since you are here, please sit down first. Let me have something to eat before we set off. Although you need to eat something to fill your stomach, don't drink too much water, otherwise it will be inconvenient when you enter the palace later."

Sheng Huan naturally responded, "My daughter knows."

The two began to eat and no one spoke. However, what surprised Mrs. Niohuru was that Sheng Huan did not eat much. He just had a piece of dessert. She remembered that the servants in the mansion said that the Fifth Princess had a small appetite, seemed to be anorexic, and even often woke up from her dreams.

She felt a rare sinking feeling in her heart. Although her daughter had left Prince Lian's mansion, it seemed that she had not completely left.

She put down her bowl and chopsticks, rinsed her mouth, and stood up: "Let's go."

"Yes." Sheng Huan nodded, being a little too obedient.

The carriage swayed all the way to the palace gate.

As soon as I arrived, I saw the aromatherapy standing there waiting.

As soon as Xiangxun saw them, she quickly came over.

"This servant greets the Madam, the Fifth Princess."

Mrs. Niu Hulu was a little surprised when she saw Xiang Xun, and she smiled: "It turned out that Miss Xiang Xun came here in person."

Xiangxun calmly looked at Sheng Huan behind Madam Niu Hulu. It would have been fine if she didn't see the frustrated old woman she was thinking of, but when she saw such a beautiful face, she was slightly stunned, but her face remained orderly and she said:

"Your Majesty is worried about Madam and Fifth Princess, so she asked me to come and welcome them. This way, Your Majesty can feel more at ease."

"The queen has always been filial."

Upon hearing this, Madam Niohuru's smile deepened. No matter what she thought of Concubine Xi before, she had to put it aside now. After all, they were all family, and everyone understood the principle that when one prospers, all prosper; when one suffers, all suffer.

Sheng Huan didn't say anything, just treating herself as a background board, and Xiangxun didn't talk to her on purpose either.

The three of them walked along the way.
