Chapter 122 Wanpin gets an adopted son, the Queen Mother guards against Hailan
"The Emperor asked Wanpin to move to Chuxiu Palace to take care of the Tenth Prince together with Shufei."
The emperor made this decision after making a trip to Chuxiu Palace.
When the Queen Mother heard the news, she was sitting in the warm room. After hearing this report, the Queen Mother paused.
"Princess Wan has always been an honest person.
The emperor feels that this decision was so sudden, who is the one behind this? Please ask Li Yu to come over and I will ask him. "
The emperor wanted Concubine Wan to raise the child so as not to give the empress dowager the opportunity to raise the tenth prince.
The Empress Dowager also guessed that the Emperor was dissatisfied with the people she had arranged in the harem and wanted to train his own people.
While the Queen Mother was thinking, Li Yu came over.
Li Yu said cautiously:
"After receiving the emperor's order, Concubine Wan went to Yikun Palace and met the empress."
The Queen Mother was very confused by what Li Yu said.
"This is strange."
The Empress Dowager is strange, Concubine Wan is an honest person, and Ruyi is not someone who would have such thoughts.
Fuga waved his hand and asked Li Yu to retreat.
Li Yu was extremely terrified. The Empress Dowager had failed to raise the Tenth Prince and Concubine Wan had taken advantage of the situation. Li Yu was very afraid that the Empress Dowager would blame him.
When he left the Yangxin Palace, only Yan Wan passed by. I really don't know why the emperor suddenly asked Wanpin to raise the tenth prince.
Fortunately, he had a good apprentice, Jinzhong, who told the Empress Dowager the news before Wanpin was raising the Tenth Prince.
Li Yu wiped the sweat from his forehead and was almost implicated by Ruyi again.
He thought that it was not Ruyi's idea for Concubine Wan to raise the Tenth Prince, but probably Concubine Yu's.
Thinking of this, Li Yu felt even colder. Ruyi would never think of his difficult situation in the Cining Palace, and even if Hai Lan did, she would not be considerate of him.
Li Yu looked back and was certain that what he had just said was enough to make the Queen Mother and Fu Jia suspicious.
Li Yu's guidance made Fu Jia think of the most important thing first.
"Empress Yu is also in Yikun Palace today."
As he spoke, Fuga looked at the place where Li Yu had just stood.
"Li Yu has learned his lesson this time and didn't speak up for Yikun Palace, but he didn't dare to mention Concubine Yu. After all, Concubine Yu has the Fifth Prince by her side."
The Queen Mother understood Li Yu's taboos and was not happy with Li Yu's favoritism towards Ruyi.
"The less he says, the more it seems that he understands everything."
"Concubine Yu is indeed a smart person. She has been very busy these days since the Queen confirmed that she was pregnant."
The Queen Mother looked much better than before. Fuga knew that the Queen Mother had made up her mind, so he served her tea again.
"Yes. Concubine Yu not only personally found a midwife for the Queen, but also gave her all the bellybands she had embroidered for the Queen's children over the past twenty years."
"For twenty years, Concubine Yu has been very loyal."
Hailan's loyalty to Ruyi made the Queen Mother nervous, and she told Fujia:
"Ask Concubine Wan to bring the Tenth Prince over to show me. The Emperor and Empress love Concubine Wan, and I love my grandson so much."
Fujia thought about what the Queen Mother was thinking and quickly called Concubine Wan.
"Wanpin, you have never given birth, so this is your first time raising a child.
The emperor cares about you, but I also have to give you a few words of advice.
When taking care of the Tenth Prince, pay more attention and don't always stay in Chuxiu Palace. When you have nothing else to do, take the Tenth Prince and the Fifth Prince or the baby in the Queen's belly to spend more time with them."
The Queen Mother looked at Wanpin quietly. She wanted to know how deeply Wanpin was influenced by Ruyi and how many opportunities she had to get close to the Tenth Prince.
Wanpin looked fine, but she was recalling what happened at that time.
At that time, she was so happy that she didn't know why she was so happy after getting the emperor's permission to raise the tenth prince. The emperor also told her to move to Chuxiu Palace as soon as possible, and it would be best if she didn't bring anything with her.
Wanpin had no idea that the emperor and the empress dowager were racing against time.
Although the emperor said so, she still had to bring some daily necessities, as well as the palace maids. So she hurriedly moved.
She had only been busy for a while when Yan Wan, who was passing by, came to congratulate her.
"Sister Wanpin is so lucky.
My sister has always been on good terms with the Empress, Concubine Yu, and Concubine Shu. Now that the Empress has given birth to an heir, my sister has also gained good fortune."
Yanwan's congratulations reminded Wanpin of Ruyi. Even if she didn't tell anyone else about her move to the palace, she should at least tell Ruyi about it.
She also felt that she could be where she is today because she was with Ruyi and the others every day, and the emperor gave her such grace because of this.
Thinking of her, she went to Yikun Palace.
However, Wanpin, who was always kind to others, heard malicious intent in Yikun Palace that she had never noticed before.
"Sister, Wanpin is usually very quiet. Today, the emperor just went to see Wanpin and she has the ability to support the tenth prince.
It seems that we have been too kind to Concubine Wan."
Wanpin didn't know that Hailan always loved to spread rumors about others.
Feeling aggrieved and embarrassed, he left Yikun Palace.
I never expected that the Queen Mother would also mention Ruyi at this time.
Wanpin sighed in her heart. It turned out that everyone thought that she and Ruyi were in the same party, and she thought so too.
"Yes. I am usually taken care of by the Empress and Concubine Yu, so I will take the Tenth Prince to the Yikun Palace more often."
Wanpin was kind-hearted after all and didn't want to get into trouble for such a sentence.
However, Wanpin's honesty and sincerity made the Queen Mother feel that Wanpin's loyalty to Ruyi was hopeless, and it would be difficult for Wanpin to be so close to the Tenth Prince. She was also certain that Wanpin's raising the Tenth Prince was not possible without the help of Ruyi and Hailan.
After Concubine Wan left the Cining Palace, the Empress Dowager immediately instructed Fujia.
"The queen is pregnant with an heir, and Concubine Yu is very smart. Fujia, you should pay more attention to her and keep a close eye on her in the future."
Fuga said yes.
The Queen Mother asked about the beauty contest again.
"None of our people were selected in this selection. The few ladies selected by the emperor will be able to enter the palace around December."
The Queen Mother nodded silently.
"The emperor is wary of me when it comes to the selection of concubines. He is also wary of me when it comes to raising the tenth prince. I have to pay attention to this, too."
After the Queen Mother said this, the Cining Palace fell silent.
Fujia opened the window and the Queen Mother was flipping through a book. She saw an autumn leaf falling outside, and when she turned around, it was already winter.
When the first snow fell in the Forbidden City, the newlyweds entered the palace.
When the newlyweds first met the six imperial concubines, Ruyi was six months pregnant with the royal baby.
Ruyi sat at the top and asked the newlyweds to stand up, and the palace maids served them tea.
Among the newcomers selected by the emperor, there was a noble lady named Ke who caught Yan Wan's attention.
Yan Wan really could not forget Concubine Ke, who followed Ruyi to make things difficult for her as soon as she entered the palace.
After Concubine Chun and the others exchanged pleasantries with her, Yanwan and Concubine Ke said:
"My Lord, this is the best Longjing tea, please try it."
Concubine Ke turned her head and glanced at the Longjing tea in the teacup, showing no intention of drinking it.
"Oh, Lady Ke is a Mongolian. I forgot about that."
Yan Wan spoke first. She noticed that Hai Lan, who was about to speak, looked unhappy.
Yan Wan continued:
"Please don't blame me, my lady. The Queen is not good at these things."
