Chapter 121: Yongcong is sick and Wei Yanwan is more anxious than the emperor
No matter how good the defense is, once a small opening is made, an unstoppable attack will occur.
Ruyi and Ling Yunche were like two super cancers, spreading the virus in the palace and causing many people to be infected with smallpox.
Just as Wei Yanwan was heading to the antique house to visit Moxin's mother, coincidentally, she met Hailan coming from there.
She is in a low position now, and if she doesn't say hello, Hai Lan will definitely find fault with her.
After all, Hailan was punished a lot because of her.
"Greetings, Concubine Yu."
"Wei Changzai."
Hailan is different from Ruyi. At least when she looks at people, her eyes are not wandering.
However, the two of them were disgusted with each other, and Hailan was just not in a good mood.
"Empress Yu, be careful of the cold wind and frost. If you accidentally catch smallpox, and Imperial Concubine Xian can't handle many things in the palace, then there will be no one to take care of you."
Hailan snorted coldly, "I'm just about to go back."
Hai Lan felt extremely disgusted every minute and every second she spent with Wei Yanwan.
Wei Yanwan was no pushover, still smiling, and called out to Hai Lan, "Empress Yu! Do you really hate me so much?"
Hai Lan turned around, her face showing disgust, and said, "I don't understand what Concubine Wei said. How could I dare to dislike you?"
Wei Yanwan wasn't at all offended by this sarcastic attitude, and continued to respond with good temper, "Empress Yu has always believed that I'm someone who's trying to curry favor with someone powerful and unlovable, and doesn't care about past relationships. That's why she and Imperial Concubine Xian both dislike me. But I have my own reasons."
Hai Lan's mouth was twisted so much that it almost popped out. She looked at Wei Yanwan as if she were looking at an unforgivable sinner and sneered, "I and my sister have seen how you've come this far. What's your motivation?"
"What's the reason? Haha, haha, Chunchan, did you hear that? Concubine Yu asked me what my reason was."
Wei Yanwan seemed to have heard a huge joke. She laughed so hard that her stomach started to hurt.
Chunchan had witnessed the suffering Wei Yanwan had endured and knew that the source of her suffering was Hailan, so she cooperated and began to sob.
"Master, I know everything. If it weren't for the rumors, you wouldn't have been forcibly sent away from the eldest prince. You suffered in the flower house for several years. There, a girl's hands were broken beyond recognition. In the past few months, they have finally recovered a little."
[I didn't realize you, a maidservant, are quite good at acting.]
Wei Yanwan patted Chunchan gently with her hand and said comfortingly, "There's no need to talk about the past. At least our lives are much better now."
"My Lord..."
Hai Lan knew that Wei Yanwan was targeting her, and she was so embarrassed that she left angrily.
Things were not done, and seeing Wei Yanwan, whom she hated, Hai Lan's mood that day was not very good.
Over at Qixiang Palace.
"Are you serious?"
"I didn't hear it wrong, Master. This Mo Xin actually had such a trick up her sleeve. I didn't expect that even after Hai Lan begged her, she still refused."
Concubine Jia covered her face and sneered, "If that's the case..."
-
Today is the Little New Year, and the emperor would have invited Ruyi to have dinner together on this day.
It’s a pity that someone was sick and couldn’t come, so this grace fell directly on Wei Yanwan.
Wei Yanwan was wearing a light green dress today, which was simple and elegant yet charming, and it was pleasing to the eye just by looking at it.
"Your Majesty, this is too rich."
"Today is the Little New Year. You have been serving me hard these days, so I want to reward you."
Wei Yanwan smiled shyly and said coquettishly, "Your Majesty, I am so embarrassed."
Then Wei Yanwan picked up the wine pot and poured wine for A Long, "I hope that the emperor will be healthy and safe."
"My Wei Changzai always speaks in a pleasing way."
"I know that the emperor has been very busy these days due to the smallpox epidemic. Although I can't help much, I am still concerned about his health. So I specially prepared some bird's nest for him to try."
"Okay, since you care about me so much, I'll give it a try."
Soon, she brought a bowl of bird's nest to Hongli.
This time she still used three taels of bird's nest.
You are the emperor now, so it’s okay for you to eat three taels of bird’s nest.
Wei Yanwan looked at Hongli with a fierce look on her face, and her starry eyes were full of Hongli's image.
Admiration, appreciation, love, all kinds of intoxicating emotions are revealed.
And Hongli enjoyed this feeling very much.
This is something that cannot be felt in other concubines.
"Is it delicious, Your Majesty?"
"Yeah, it tastes good."
"As long as the Emperor likes it~"
This time, without Ruyi pretending to be surprised, Hongli was overjoyed and waved his hand, saying, "I have decided to make you a noble lady, and I have already decided on a title."
Wei Yanwan covered her mouth and looked at Hongli in surprise, then she laughed foolishly, which made Hongli laugh along with her involuntarily.
"Are you so happy?"
"Of course I am happy! Your Majesty is so good to me, I must treat you even better!"
This was the first time someone told him to be nicer to him.
Hongli felt a little hopeful and asked, "How can you treat me better?"
"Hehe, you can't tell the emperor!"
At this moment, Wei Yanwan inadvertently glanced at the sweet white glaze incense burner across from her and deliberately said, "Huh? Your Majesty, the placement of that sweet white glaze incense burner doesn't seem very good. I feel like someone might accidentally bump into it."
"Okay, I'll make a note of that. I'll ask someone to move you to another seat later."
Wei Yanwan was considerate, could cook, knew porcelain, and could sing Kunqu opera. She was so knowledgeable that Hongli felt he had found a treasure. He was really curious about what else he didn't know about his concubine.
Suddenly, his love for Wei Yanwan increased a lot.
That night, Hongli stayed in Wei Yanwan's palace.
As soon as the two of them shook hands, a eunuch started banging on the door outside.
"It's really getting more and more unruly. What's the matter?"
"Seventh Prince has been infected with smallpox by his wet nurse, Your Majesty!"
Wei Yanwan stood up suddenly, her eyes wide open, and asked, "What! How could this be!"
Seeing that Wei Yanwan's reaction was even greater than his own, and she was actually about to run away barefoot, Hongli quickly pulled her back and pressed her to the edge of the bed, saying anxiously, "Put on your shoes first. I'll go check on Yongcong!"
Hongli ran out first.
Wei Yanwan in the room said nothing and immediately started putting on her shoes and clothes.
Seeing that she couldn't walk fast with her shoes on, Wei Yanwan simply took them off and threw them aside.
"Lantui! Give me your shoes quickly."
"Master, don't worry. The imperial physician is over there. The Seventh Prince will definitely be fine."
After changing her clothes, Wei Yanwan put on Lan Cui's flat shoes. The next second, she rushed out and headed straight for Changchun Palace.
