MTL - The Concubine is Covering the Vest Every Day-Chapter 90
On the night of Mid-Autumn Festival, the sky is as clear as water and the moon is as bright as a mirror. His Majesty hosted a banquet at the Qianqing Palace. Tang Yunian sat next to Wei Yubing, and as soon as he looked up, he could see King Kang on the opposite side. To be precise, he should now be honored as His Royal Highness, even if he has not been canonized yet.
Sacrifice the moon, worship the moon, admire the moon. Tang Yunian took a few glances, and the important ministers present today were imperial relatives. There are only two concubines and the fourth concubine in the harem, because Concubine Min is going to be registered as a concubine. I heard that the fourth concubine has added one more, and they are all familiar faces. The specific Tang Yunian can't be said.
"Today's Mid-Autumn Festival, I will be celebrating the festival with all of you Aiqings. You don't need to be polite at the banquet, let alone formalities."
Everyone at the table should be well. After drinking a cup together, the county master Jiayi smiled and said, "Uncle Huang, facing this table of delicious food, Jiayi couldn't help but be polite. The dishes in the imperial kitchen are delicious."
"If Jiayi likes it, don't worry about returning to the fief," the emperor laughed. "The imperial sister refuses to come to Beijing. You can accompany me more in Beijing."
"If Uncle Huang doesn't dislike me for eating too much, I'd be happy to do so." County Master Jiayi said with a smile.
The emperor laughed, "You little girl, I can still afford it."
"Your Majesty," Concubine Yuegui saw that the emperor and Jiayi County Lord were talking happily, and suddenly mentioned, "I have a way to make Jiayi County Lord stay in Beijing."
"Oh?" The emperor turned his head, seemingly interested.
"If Your Majesty forms a good relationship with the county master in the capital, it is natural for him to stay in the capital. When the county master gets married, Princess Yangxin will surely return to the capital. Your Majesty can also talk to the princess about the sister-in-law relationship."
"Your concubine is a good idea." The emperor nodded, "I really think so, but—" The emperor waved his hand, obviously unwilling to put everyone's attention on Jiayi County Master on this festive occasion. It's not that his niece can't get married, so there's no need to say this in public during the Mid-Autumn Festival.
Concubine Yue Gui also shut her mouth wisely, she just casually mentioned His Majesty's attitude, seeing that His Majesty really planned to keep the Princess Jiayi in the capital.
Tang Yunian did not directly participate in the harem affairs, but every time Concubine Yueyue spoke, she felt that it was not a good thing, so she paid special attention. Now it seems... Tang Yunian looked at Concubine Yuegui, and looked at Princess Jiayi again, a thought. From the bottom of my heart, the imperial concubine will not put her mind on Jiayi County Master again, right?
"I didn't see anything." When Wei Yubing noticed that he looked up and peeked at people, Tang Yunian explained immediately.
"But it's boring again?" Wei Yubing said casually, Tang Yunian's heart skipped a beat, how did Yubing know again?
"It's hard to guess your thoughts." Wei Yubing chuckled. The last time I went to the Zhongshan Palace, I attended the banquet in the palace a few days ago. Every time she slipped out halfway, Wei Yubing had already seen that she was unable to sit still.
"I don't have to go out this time." Tang Yunian straightened his clothes and sat upright. Even if she is bored at this banquet this time, she will never go out! Every time she goes out, she encounters unexpected things. This time she resolutely resisted it. She didn't go out directly. She didn't believe it. What else could happen?
After thinking about it for a while, Wei Yubing guessed most of it, smiled, thinking about the "adventures" she went out every time, and did not persuade her any more. Indeed, people are still safe under her own eyes.
"If we're tired after a while, we'll just leave." Wei Yubing said.
"The two of us," Tang Yunian lowered his voice, "would it be too obvious?" She really didn't like this kind of banquet. She couldn't drink wine, let alone eat too much food. She wanted to find a chance to sneak out and get some air.
"Leave after the father and mother." Wei Yubing said sideways.
"Mmmm." Tang Yunian still knew this, he had to be sharp when sneaking out, and he had to wait for when no one else paid attention to him. Looking at the audience today, the most lively place should be His Royal Highness King Kang, and the crown prince will be canonized in five days.
Appreciating the moon was set at night, and after some chatting and eating cakes, Tang Yunian and Wei Yubing stayed in the palace, the same as the previous palace. As soon as they entered the door, Tang Yunian smelled the faint scent of sweet-scented osmanthus. Shallow, not yet when I came here last time.
"It was picked from a pot." Without the need for lights, Tang Yunian saw the osmanthus potted plants neatly placed not far in front of the hall by the moonlight.
"Is it arranged by the Empress?" After thinking for a while, Tang Yunian could only think of this.
"It should be." Wei Yubing nodded, "The queen mother likes osmanthus very much."
"I like it too." Tang Yunian squatted down, touched the leaves of the sweet-scented osmanthus, and fanned his palms lightly. Following Wei Yubing's direction, the fragrance of the sweet-scented sweet-scented osmanthus became more intense, and he rushed directly in front of Wei Yubing.
Wei Yubing smiled lightly, but did not stop it. On the other side, Tang Yunian sighed, "The gardener is really attentive." Planting flowers and trees in pots must have taken a lot of effort.
"If you like it, can you bring some back home?" Wei Yubing also crouched down.
"That's fine, it's not like we don't have osmanthus trees in our house." Tang Yunian loosened the osmanthus branches and leaves, clapped his palms, and suddenly thought of the fiery red and sweet pomegranates at the banquet today, "Yu Bing, is there also in the palace? Pomegranate tree?"
"Yes." Wei Yubing said without thinking, "Ye Zhaoyi lived and used to live in Qingyi Hall. I remember there was a large pomegranate tree in the southeast corner of the yard."
"Want to visit every year?" Wei Yubing could see her careful thought at a glance.
"A little bit." Tang Yunian nodded, "Is it alright now?"
"No one lives in Qingyi Hall now, so there is nothing wrong." Wei Yubing said with a smile, "It just so happens that you can still admire the moon. Are you planning to rest now every year?"
Must not want to. She almost fell asleep in the second half of the banquet just now. I don't have the slightest idea of falling asleep now.
Bai Zhi was in front of the lamp, and Tang Yunian volunteered to take it over. In this moonlit night, the effect of the lamp was not very big. Wei Yubing waved back Bai Zhi and the remaining maidservants, only the two of them. The quieter and quieter he walked, there was no need to worry about who he might bump into. Tang Yunian was not afraid, but more curious, "Yu Bing, is there no one living in the palace nearby?"
"No." Wei Yubing said.
"This is really a quiet place!" After walking around in person at night, Tang Yunian realized what it meant for Concubine Yuegui to let Ye Zhaoyi live here, not to mention seeing the emperor, it was not easy to see anyone other than his own palace .
Fortunately, Ye Zhaoyi moved away, otherwise, I would have no hope of living in this place. She has seen it on film and television. Without the emperor's favor, there are many people who can step on Zhaoyi.
"Royal father will not allow such a thing to happen." Wei Yubing smiled.
"Why?" Tang Yunian quickly asked himself, "Because of Ye Zhaoyi's family background?"
Wei Yubing said yes. "Ye Zhaoyi all sacrificed their lives for the country. Unless the rest of the Ye family commits treason, no one will dare to touch Ye Zhaoyi for the time being."
That is, as long as the current emperor is alive, Ye Zhaoyi will be worry-free in the harem. It's hard to say until the next emperor ascends the throne. The moon was bright, I really didn't need a lamp, I turned my head and said to Yu Bing, Tang Yunian turned off the lamp, and from a distance, he saw round fruits hanging on the tree, the size of a fist, this was the first time for Tang Yunian. Seeing so many pomegranate trees, she felt strange. Just as she was about to take a closer look, Wei Yubing grabbed her.
Tang Yunian didn't understand at first, so he stopped, and the two of them squatted down, following Wei Yubing's gaze, Tang Yunian didn't know anything, but—Tang Yunian wanted to cover his ears embarrassedly.
If she couldn't hear this familiar voice again, she would be in vain with Yu Bing these days. So, Tang Yunian was desperate, did she and Yu Bing squat in someone else's corner?
What a guts! Not long after Ye Zhaoyi moved out of this place, she was able to have a tryst here in such a "fair and righteous" way. I don't know which palace it is, as far as she knows, it is not allowed in the palace. It was still going on inside, and Tang Yunian could hear a few words on and off, "Don't you like me?"
"Let go!" The voice was annoyed, accompanied by the sound of breaking free, but this sound seemed a little familiar, but she didn't have time to think about it in the tense atmosphere of half-squatting under the tree.
If they really collided, the two of them would be embarrassed, and she and Yu Bing would not be much better off. The dignified princess of a country and her concubine were not in their yard in the middle of the night. Instead, they listened to the corner from here. I am afraid that she said that she was looking at the pomegranate tree and no one believed it. Furthermore, once stabbed out, the two inside should not be able to survive. It was her who disturbed others, so there was no need to harm others.
"Yu Bing," Tang Yunian pointed to himself, only lip-synching, but didn't say a word, "Let's go out?"
"No." Wei Yubing replied in a hoarse voice, "Maybe it will be discovered."
"Then what about the two of us?" Tang Yunian was furious.
No, it's true, when the two of them came over just now, maybe they didn't care that they were talking, but now the voices inside stopped, if the two of them were moving, they would definitely be caught.
"However," Tang Yunian wrote with difficulty on Wei Yubing's hand, "Will my legs hurt after squatting for a long time? Or we—" Tang Yunian glanced at the osmanthus tree, and he didn't know who had put it under the osmanthus tree. The potted chrysanthemum is here, if it can be moved over, it can be considered a shelter, "Yu Bing, let's go there first." I will think about going out later.
"Well." Wei Yubing agreed. Soon the people inside began to speak again. Tang Yunian seized the opportunity, pulled Wei Yubing and prepared to run out, until a sentence came from inside, "Do you care about this status? The emperor's concubine?"
What? Tang Yunian was caught off guard by a thunderstorm. Does this mean that he is cuckolding the emperor? Did she hear right?
Wei Yubing took the opportunity to drag her away, and the person who was talking didn't notice that there were two more people in the hospital and two more people left. It wasn't until he went very far that Tang Yunian dared to speak a little louder, and it was not until he returned to the palace that Tang Yunian dared to speak.
Bai Zhi and Yunxiang didn't know why the princess and the concubine's face changed when they went out, so they quickly evacuated her and closed the door to leave enough space for the princess and concubine to talk.
He quickly picked up the cup and drank a few cups to suppress the shock. Tang Yunian sat down on the chair and slowed down again. The impact was indeed a bit big. After a while, she looked at Wei Yubing weakly and uncertainly and said, "Princess, the concubine of your father's queen's palace seems, seems, has someone..."
Wei Yubing glanced at her lightly, "As long as there is no one outside you."
Tang Yunian: "..."
