"Did you hear that at today's palace banquet, the Crown Princess deliberately made things difficult and ordered Lady Officer Ling to serve the Grand Concubine at her meal?"

"Who doesn't know about this? I also heard that after His Highness saw it, he became furious and rebuked Concubine Taisun in public!"

"It's really pitiful that the concubine was treated coldly just after she got married."

"Isn't that right! The luckiest one is Miss Ling. I don't know why she fell in the eyes of His Highness Taisun. Such glory and wealth will be indispensable in the future."

"Perhaps she has some secret reasons for joining the palace as a female official. Otherwise, why would the Queen summon her to the palace for no reason? Maybe one day she will be given a marriage and she can marry her grandson in all glory. Being a concubine!"

"Yes, such good luck is really enviable..."

In just a few days, all kinds of rumors quickly spread in the palace.

Not only the maids and chamberlains discussed it privately, but even the concubines in the palace couldn't help but whisper a few words when they got together.

"Sister Wei, you saw what happened that day with your own eyes. I never thought that the emperor's grandson would favor Miss Ling." The person who gossiped was Miss Wang, who had a low position.

Wang Meiren is in her twenties, a young woman, and quite popular with the emperor. It's a pity that the emperor has been recovering from illness in the past few months, and Beauty Wang has no chance to sleep with him, so she can't help but feel a little lonely. He would often visit the concubines and chat with them to relieve his boredom. She is also the one who likes to gossip the most among the concubines.

Wei Jieyu glanced at the excited Wang Meiren and said calmly: "Sister Wang, you should be more careful when you speak. You must know that trouble comes from your mouth, and you can't talk about things that have no shadow."

Wang Meiren argued unconvincingly: "Why did I talk nonsense? At that time, the emperor's grandson had an angry look on his face, and everyone saw it. If he didn't have admiration, how could the emperor's grandson be so angry? Stand up for Miss Ling."

Wei Jieyu frowned and her voice became colder: "The emperor's grandson's behavior that day was indeed a bit strange. However, it is not our turn to speculate. If Sister Wang has nothing to do, she can play chess, calligraphy and painting. Time. It’s better to stop talking about this.”

Wang Meiren was disappointed, closed her mouth angrily, sat for a while, and left quickly.

Wei Jieyu let out a long sigh with a worried look on her face.

Everyone knew about these gossips, which pushed Ling Jingshu to the forefront. Don't know how it will end.

Xinyun walked over quietly and reported in a low voice: "Your Majesty, Imperial Physician Wei is here to see you."

Wei Jieyu came to her senses and hurriedly said: "Let him in quickly."

…

The two siblings were in the palace together, so they didn't have many opportunities to meet. Wei Jieyu would order someone to summon Wei Yan to Lingbo Hall every few days.

Wei Yan took the initiative to come to Lingbo Hall, but there were very few of them.

It's rare for me to take the initiative to come over today, there must be something important.

Wei Jieyu ordered all the palace maids and chamberlains to retreat, and then looked at Wei Yan: "Ayan, you came here specially, do you want to see me for anything?"

Wei Yan didn't want to beat around the bush, nodded and said, "Yes, I'm here to ask you something."

"Just say what you have to say. It's not too disrespectful to say this to me." Wei Jieyu rolled her eyes at Wei Yan angrily.

Wei Yan felt a sense of warmth in his heart. The eldest sister has always loved him. Ever since she was little, no matter what he asked for, she would always grant it without hesitation.

"Sister," Wei Yan's impatience and uneasiness had subsided a lot, and he whispered: "You should have heard the rumors circulating in the palace these days!"

Wei Jieyu sighed softly: "Who else in this palace doesn't know? To be honest, before you came, the beauty Wang who came to spread gossip had just left. Although I don't want to hear this, I can't help it. What other people’s mouths say.”

After a pause, he continued: "A'shu has been cautious and low-key since entering the palace and never made any publicity. She worked honestly every day and almost never left the Jiaofang Palace. It's a pity that she didn't want to cause trouble, and the right and wrong refused to let her go. . This time, she showed her face in the palace."

Being visible should be a good thing.

However, this palace is a place of right and wrong where even if nothing happens, something will happen. It is definitely not a good thing for Ling Jingshu to be in such "limelight".

Although Wei Jieyu didn't say these words, Wei Yan also knew them well.

Wei Yan was silent for a moment and blamed himself in a low voice: "I am really useless. I also said that I wanted to protect her. When encountering such a thing, I can't do anything. I can only ask you for help."

Wei Jieyu had already guessed Wei Yan's intention. She smiled bitterly when she heard this and said: "Ayan, I know you like her in your heart. To be honest, I also like Ah Shu very much. If you two can get married together in the future, I will do this My sister can rest assured."

"But what is the situation now? On the second day after the wedding, the emperor's grandson angrily scolded the imperial concubine for Ling Jingshu. Just how important Ling Jingshu is in the emperor's heart can be seen if you have a brain. Do you still want to be with the emperor's concubine? Is it possible for Sun Yi to compete?"

"Ayan, I just hope you are safe and sound. Don't do anything stupid!"

If he competes with the emperor's grandson for a woman, Wei Yan will definitely lose!

Wei Yan didn't explain anything, only whispered: "Sister, don't worry, I won't do anything impulsive or reckless."

After so many years in the palace, he had already learned to be patient and wait.

To endure in the face of arrogant power is not cowardice, but to protect oneself for the future.

Waiting in an aggressive situation is not about giving up, but waiting for the best opportunity.

Seeing that Wei Yan's expression was as calm as usual, Wei Jieyu breathed a sigh of relief: "It's good that you know the importance. By the way, what do you need my help with?"

Wei Yan lowered his voice and whispered a few words.

Wei Jieyu was dumbfounded for a moment, then smiled helplessly and said: "That's it! For your sake, I will agree."

Wei Yan raised his head with a grateful look on his face: "Thank you, eldest sister. I know this incident has put you in a difficult position. However, in order to avoid suspicion, I really couldn't take action myself, so I had to beg you to come here."

"Okay, why are you so polite to me?" Wei Jieyu said with a smile, "Just relax and go back!"

…

For Ling Jingshu, these days have been particularly difficult.

On the surface she was calm as usual, doing whatever she had to do. But he couldn't stop everyone's strange looks.

No matter where he goes, he will attract ambiguous attention from everyone. As soon as he turned around, he heard whispers behind him. The tone of voice of several female officers who had a fairly good relationship with them before was also very different from before.

Some are sarcastic, some are sarcastic, and some are flattering.

The face that was originally kind and friendly suddenly changed, revealing a harsh or extremely hypocritical side.

The life that was originally well adapted to the integration was turned upside down in just a few days.
