Chapter 179 Come Back Another Day
Concubine Qi then spoke aggrievedly, "Your Majesty, I don't know that since I came to the palace, I have been thinking about getting along with the other sisters in the palace and serving the emperor. When I met Concubine Wan and Concubine Zhao, I felt even closer to them. Therefore, I moved to Suiyuxuan to live with Concubine Wan. Today, I went to pay my respects to Concubine Zhao, but... I don't know if Concubine Zhao doesn't like me. Her words seemed to mean that she wanted to drive me away. I don't know why, but I was very uneasy and had to come back first."
When Yinzhen heard that she was going to file a complaint against Xia Dongchun, he frowned immediately. Among the people who entered the palace through the selection, the ones that Yinzhen was quite satisfied with were Zhen Huan and Xia Dongchun, and the next one was Concubine Chun.
The previous time when Concubine Qi complained, she wanted him to punish Concubine Nian, but he didn't bother to care about it. This time, she complained about Xia Dongchun. Xia Dongchun entered the palace earlier than Concubine Qi, and Yinzhen liked her very much. In addition, she not only gave birth to a daughter for him, but was also pregnant with a child. Even if she really said something unpleasant to Concubine Qi, Yinzhen didn't bother to care.
But Concubine Qi was acting coquettishly and petulantly in front of him, and Yinzhen really couldn't do anything about her, so he glanced at Su Peisheng.
Su Peisheng understood and explained, "Your Majesty, I heard from the imperial doctors that Concubine Zhao is not as healthy as when she was pregnant with Princess Lingyuan. She needs to rest the most. It is also common for pregnant women to have a bad temper. I think Concubine Zhao does not dislike Concubine Qi. It's just a misunderstanding."
Concubine Qi was acting like a spoiled child. When she heard Su Peisheng's words, she didn't realize that this was Yinzhen's intention. She argued tactfully at the end of her voice, "Your Majesty, Your Majesty knows that I am not a noisy person. I just want to talk to Concubine Zhao for a while. If Concubine Zhao doesn't dislike me, why would she be so lazy to say a word to me?"
Yinzhen said helplessly, "Forget it, forget it. I'll ask someone to ask Concubine Zhao later. Is that okay?"
Seeing that Yinzhen agreed with her, Concubine Qi continued to act coquettishly, "The Emperor favors Concubine Zhao, and I will not accept it."
As soon as Concubine Qi finished speaking, Yinzhen put down his chopsticks, stood up and said, "Okay, I'll come to accompany you another day."
After saying this, he walked out without giving Concubine Qi a chance to explain herself.
Concubine Qi was dumbfounded, and hurriedly stood up to chase him, but was stopped by Su Peisheng: "My lady, if you listen to my advice, don't offend the emperor at this moment."
Seeing Concubine Qi stop, Su Peisheng turned around and hurriedly caught up with Yinzhen.
Without Yinzhen telling him, Su Peisheng could guess why. Facing these concubines, especially those as young and beautiful as Concubine Qi, Yinzhen was willing to see them act coquettishly towards him, but no matter what, there had to be a limit and they couldn't push their luck.
Xia Dongchun was pregnant, and Yinzhen was unwilling to punish her unless she made a big mistake. Moreover, even if it was true as Concubine Qi said, Xia Dongchun didn't like her and treated her coldly, it wouldn't be a big deal, after all, Xia Dongchun didn't really do anything to Concubine Qi, right?
Because of Concubine Qi's coquettishness, Yinzhen agreed to ask Xia Dongchun later. This was already giving face to Concubine Qi. But Concubine Qi wanted to push her further and insisted on getting some results. What result could Yinzhen give her?
For her, a noble who had just entered the palace, to punish a pregnant concubine for no reason? It was ridiculous to tell anyone about it.
Following him to the gate of Chuxiu Palace, Su Peisheng asked tentatively: "Your Majesty, do you want to go to Suiyuxuan?"
The Sui Yuxuan had been renovated a few days ago. Except for Concubine Qi who moved to Chuxiu Palace because of Xia Dongchun's words, Concubine Zhen Huan and Concubine Chun who originally lived in the Sui Yuxuan had moved back.
Yinzhen stood in front of the Chuxiu Palace and thought for a moment, then said, "Let's go to the Yanxi Palace and see Concubine Zhao."
"Yes." Su Peisheng responded, then stood up and said loudly, "Go to the Yanxi Palace!"
When Concubine Qi heard this, she was so angry that she couldn't eat: "Why did the emperor leave?"
Jingtai thought for a moment and expressed his guess: "My lady, is the emperor angry because you reported Concubine Zhao?"
Concubine Qi paused, realizing in her heart that Jingtai might be right, but she was unwilling to admit it: "How is that possible? I just said a few more words. Does the emperor really favor Concubine Zhao that much? Can't he even listen to this?"
Jingtai reminded in a low voice: "My lady, even if the emperor doesn't favor Concubine Zhao that much, she is pregnant with the dragon fetus after all. Even if she really did something to you, as long as it's not too excessive, the emperor won't do anything to her. We are too impatient this time."
Jingtai didn't dare to say anything more, for fear that Concubine Qi would get even angrier.
On the other hand, Xia Dongchun was a little surprised when Yinzhen arrived at the Yanx Palace. She remembered that Yinzhen turned over the name card of Concubine Qi today, so why did he come to her during dinner?
But no matter what she muttered in her heart, Xia Dongchun still put down her chopsticks and stood up to salute: "Your Majesty, I pay my respects to you. May your Majesty be blessed with good health."
Yinzhen waved his hand and sat down first: "Hey, you are pregnant. I told you not to bow, but you still bow every time."
Yun Ling helped Xia Dongchun to stand up, and Xia Dongchun sat back down: "Didn't the emperor go to Concubine Qi's place today? Why are you here again? You really surprised me."
Yinzhen's originally somewhat irritable mood was slightly eased by these words, but he did not answer Xia Dongchun's words, but asked: "I heard that Concubine Qi came to your place today?"
Xia Dongchun knew that Concubine Qi had complained, but the effect was probably not very good. She might even have made Yinzhen upset, otherwise Yinzhen would not have come to her again.
So she answered truthfully: "How does the emperor know? Sister Qi did come to the Yanxi Palace today, saying that she wanted to chat with me. But I was a little tired today, so I thought of asking Xiao Yanzi to tell her and invite Sister Qi to come another day. I didn't expect that Sister Qi came in directly before Xiao Yanzi could tell her. I reminded her twice, and I was not too polite when I spoke."
After a pause, Xia Dongchun said in a tender voice, "Your Majesty, are you here to vent your anger on Sister Qi? This is not my fault. It's all because of the child in my belly. In fact, it's your Majesty himself who should be blamed. If it weren't for your majesty giving me this child, how could I be so tired and naturally I wouldn't be so cold to Sister Qi."
Yinzhen heard her tell him the truth about what happened today, without hiding her indifference to Concubine Qi, and he felt very happy and relieved. He finally smiled, "It's because I love you too much that you dare to say anything in front of me. Okay, I know you don't mean to embarrass me. Let's eat quickly, otherwise if you are hungry, it will be my fault again."
