Enter the Room

Yuan Yunzhong turned his back to the emperor, looking at Prince Ning with a cold light like a blade.

Prince Ning felt suffocated.

Yuan Yunzhong knows!

Yuan Yunzhong knew that he wanted to ruin Song Jiuyun's reputation!

Why does Yuan Yunzhong always have the upper hand? !

Reluctance, shame and anger surged in his chest.

With his mind burning, he bowed his head towards the emperor and said, "Your Majesty, I admire the Song family and want to make her my concubine."

Qianqing Palace was deathly silent.

*

Song Jiuyun came out of Xinbeicang and met the little eunuch who went to her home last time to announce the decree.

The little eunuch was so anxious that he was sweating profusely and said: "Miss Song, follow me into the palace quickly, the emperor wants to see you."

Song Jiyun was stunned and hurriedly stuffed a red envelope for the little eunuch and said, "Thank you very much, father-in-law for this trip. You go and have a cup of tea. I will change my clothes and follow you into the palace."

"No need," the little eunuch said hurriedly, "The emperor is waiting for you at Qianqing Palace!"

After he finished speaking, he looked Song Jiyun up and down and said, "You look good like this. When you enter the palace later, I will ask the maid to clean your hands and face."

Song Jiyun was pounding in his heart, but without showing his face, he smiled and said, "Okay! I'll follow you into the palace right now."

The little eunuch nodded repeatedly, and only on the way did he find an opportunity to reveal it to her: "I don't know why you are allowed to enter the palace. However, Master Yuan is also in the palace, so you will definitely not suffer."

Could it be that Yuan Yunzhong went into the palace to apply eye drops to Prince Ning and messed up?

Song Jiyun couldn't help but guess, thinking of countermeasures in his mind.

Unexpectedly, when she arrived at the palace, she was taken to the side room next to Qianqing Palace to wait. After almost half an hour, a palace maid led her to the side hall of Qianqing Palace.

In the distance, she heard a noise. When she entered the side hall, she discovered that the Empress Dowager, the Empress Dowager, the Empress, Concubine Wan Gui, and even the Emperor in official uniform and Yuan Yunzhong in casual clothes were all there.

The Empress Dowager and the Empress Dowager were buzzing around the Emperor and couldn't hear what was being said, but the accusation was strong, while Concubine Wan Gui held her elbows and looked coldly at the Queen who was hiding aside like a quail.

She was confused.

He looked at Yuan Yunzhong as if asking for help.

Yuan Yunzhong gave her a "find an opportunity to slip away" look, then saluted the emperor and said loudly: "Miss Song is here."

There was silence in the side hall.

Both the Empress Dowager and the Empress Dowager coughed slightly uncomfortably.

Concubine Wan Gui took a blue and white porcelain octagonal bowl to Song Jiyun and said, "Look, when was it made by the emperor?"

Song Jiuyun looked at his nose with his eyes and his heart with his nose. He looked at it carefully and said: "People's women have little knowledge. Judging from the glaze, the legs are short and shallow, the glaze is smooth and shiny, the flowers are rich in color, and there is a natural halo. Double-groove filling is a decorative technique in Qixin painting."

She picked up the bowl and looked at the bottom of the bowl carefully against the light: "There is no year mark. It should be an imperial mark made during the Yongle period."

Concubine Wan Gui jumped up when she heard this and said: "Listen, listen. Everything in the palace is registered. There are no dishes from the Yongle period in my palace. How could the pastries given to the eldest son of the emperor be given by me? Past.”

"Your Majesty!" She said seriously, "You must investigate this matter carefully and give me an explanation."

The empress did not speak, but the empress dowager glanced at Yuan Yunzhong. However, the empress dowager glanced sideways at Concubine Wan Gui and said: "It's just a bowl, what can it prove? She also used the emperor's golden words to call Mrs. Song from outside the palace. Come in. Do you think there are not enough people watching the excitement?"

Concubine Wan Gui was not afraid at all, and said: "You have done everything, but you are still worried that others will laugh at you?"

She forcefully called Qin Fang to come in and said: "Go to the Imperial Prison and check carefully for me. Where did this bowl come from? If you can't give me an explanation, then let the people from the Shenxing Division examine it." You can go to Tianshou Mountain to guard the late emperor’s tomb.”

Qin Fang's smile became forced.

The Empress Dowager looked even more ugly and scolded Concubine Wan Gui: "Is there any place for you to talk here?"

Concubine Wan Gui ignored the Empress Dowager at all.

The Empress Dowager directly ordered Qin Fang: "Go and call the people from the imperial prison."

Qin Fang stood there in a dilemma, not even daring to take a casual glance.

The emperor stammered: "Emperor, grandmother, this matter must be investigated clearly. Otherwise, there will always be people with bad intentions who will stir up trouble."

The Queen Mother was extremely angry.

Concubine Wan Gui just accepted it as soon as she saw it was good.

The emperor's intention to protect Concubine Wan Gui was obvious.

The Queen Mother took the Queen Mother and the Queen away angrily.

The emperor comforted Concubine Wan Gui: "Forget it, you, don't be angry. The emperor's eldest son has diarrhea, and the emperor's grandmother is worried."

Concubine Wan Gui snorted coldly and said, "If it weren't for the fact that the emperor's grandmother is dedicated to protecting the emperor's eldest son, I definitely can't just let it go."

The emperor hurriedly poured a cup of tea for Concubine Wan Gui.

Song Jiyun was stunned and glanced at Yuan Yunzhong.

Yuan Yunzhong nodded slightly and said, "Your Majesty, since this matter has been made clear, Miss Song and I will take our leave first."

But the emperor stopped Yuan Yunzhong and said, "Let me tell you about Prince Ning." He also winked at Yuan Yunzhong quietly.

Yuan Yunzhong had no choice but to stay.

Concubine Wan Gui was not angry at all, and she and Song Jiyun left the side hall with a smile.

"The Emperor has always wanted to grant a marriage to you and Lord Yuan." Concubine Wan Gui pointedly said, "Don't let down the Emperor's expectations."

This is to warn her not to talk nonsense!

Song Jiyun said: "It's all because of the emperor's grace that a civilian girl can prove her innocence in Liulichang. I have always wanted to come to express my gratitude to the emperor, but it's a pity that it's hard to see her. I'm lucky enough today, and I'm so grateful."

She tactfully promised that she would not talk nonsense and that she entered the palace to express her gratitude.

Concubine Wan Gui nodded with satisfaction and left.

Song Jiyun took a long breath, left Shenwumen, returned to Pocket Alley, and hurriedly washed up.

But before she could wipe off the water droplets on her body, Xianghan ran in in a panic: "My boss, it's bad, there is someone hidden in your sedan chair. From the looks of it, he is a little eunuch. But how can we ask him? He He didn’t say anything. He asked urgently, and just said that he wanted to see you. You should go and see you quickly! It looks like it’s time for the curfew."

After the curfew, no one in the city could move around. Even if the young eunuch left the palace privately, he would not be able to return to the palace.

If they stayed here all night, if the little eunuch committed something wrong, I'm afraid they wouldn't be able to clean it off.

Song Jiyun became anxious after hearing this. He hurriedly wiped himself, changed clothes, rolled up his hair, and went to the hall.

He is not a little eunuch, he is an eldest prince wearing a little eunuch's clothes.

"How did you get out of the palace?" Song Jiyun couldn't laugh or cry. Just when she was thinking about whether to give him a big gift, the eldest prince had already pulled her sleeve and said, "I, I'm hungry and want to eat mung bean cake."

Song Jiyun's heart suddenly softened.

The child was afraid that he would not even dare to eat in the palace.

She immediately ordered Xiang Hao to go to the kitchen to make some delicious food, and asked Zheng Quan to buy some clothes suitable for the eldest prince. Finally, she asked Wang Hua to find Yuan Yunzhong: "Let him come quickly."

What to do about this matter, Song Jiyun felt that he had to listen to Yuan Yunzhong's opinion.

He knows more about things in the palace than she does.
