Chapter 218: Her Majesty was implicated by Concubine Huang.
"Interesting, this Concubine Huang is really good. Even Concubine Xu who has the support of the Queen Mother has been defeated..." After these people walked away, two people came out from the place where they had just argued. These two people had been hiding behind a rockery, so no one noticed them.
Concubine Lin looked with interest at the direction they had just gone. Among this group of new people, only Concubine Huang and Concubine Shi aroused her interest. It seemed that she would have to go out more often in the future.
Huang Ye and Hong Dou said goodbye to Wang Cairen, who lived closest to her, and set out for Ning Yuxuan. When they reached a deserted place, the two looked at each other and Hong Dou turned back unnoticed. Just now, both of them discovered that there were people hiding behind the rockery behind them. Although nothing could be seen on the surface, the two people had practiced internal skills for many years, and the heavy breathing of the two people made it easy for them to discover them.
As for Wang Yuan, who was walking on another road, the senior palace maid Xiu'e she brought in was pouting and looked very unhappy.
"What's wrong? Who made you unhappy?" Wang Yuan asked. Xiu'e grew up with her and the two got along like real sisters. Xiu'e sometimes dared to act like a little bitch in front of her.
"Your Majesty, it was clearly Concubine Huang who offended Concubine Xu. Concubine Xu couldn't do anything to her, so she took it out on you. Your Majesty was implicated by Concubine Huang." Xiu'e said angrily.
"Your Highness also said that Huangpin treated you well. If it weren't for her, how could Xupin hold a grudge against you? Why did you have to endure such humiliation today? In my opinion, Your Highness should stay away from Huangpin in the future to avoid being implicated by her."
"Xiu'e, stop talking nonsense." Wang Yuan's eyes flashed, and she shouted at Xiu'e: "Have you forgotten what Daddy said when we left? I don't want to hear such words again in the future. Huangpin... is a very loyal person."
"I know." Xiu'e was a little disappointed and grumbled in dissatisfaction: "It's only because the queen is kind-hearted. If someone else had suffered such a great injustice, they might have asked that Huangpin for compensation."
This time Wang Yuan didn't scold her again, but just lowered her head and walked away. Xiu'e was not wrong, and she was too lazy to argue with her about this matter. The incident had already happened, and there was no point in saying these things now.
Huang Ye strolled back to Ningyuxuan. At this time, Eunuch Ma had arrived and was measuring in the small kitchen. Huang Ye did not go in, but went directly to the dining room. Aunt Fanghua and Xiao Xiangzi were already waiting for her there. When they saw her come in, they came forward to greet her. Then Fanghua opened the food basket on the table, took out her breakfast, and served her breakfast.
Huang Ye told them what happened in Kunning Palace in the morning while eating. After hearing that Concubine Lin also went to Kunning Palace to pay respects today, Fanghua became alert: "My queen, you must be careful of Concubine Lin. Be careful not to be used by her."
"Oh." Huang Ye looked at Fanghua. Her aunt had been in the palace for so many years, so she was definitely not trying to scare her by saying this.
"Jieyu Lin has been claiming to be sick and has never gone out in the past two winters. Her claim of wanting to see the new sisters was just an excuse. This person seems to have disappeared since the emperor ascended the throne. I have also told Old Xing and the others about her before."
"I don't know what to say. Logically, after the most beautiful Madam Yu passes away, the Queen will not let go of Concubine Lin, whose residence was personally designated by the Emperor. And there is another point. She and the other two beauties were both of the rank of Liangyuan in the Eastern Palace. When the Emperor ascends the throne, her rank will be higher than those two people." Fanghua continued.
"Based on the Queen's temperament, she will definitely not let her go." Huang Ye went on. She felt very strange. Looking at the Queen's attitude towards Concubine Lin, it didn't seem like she had any grudge against her.
"This is the extraordinary thing about Concubine Lin. After she moved into Qingyue Palace, she started to claim to be sick. Your Majesty also knows that concubines in the harem cannot serve the queen if they are sick, so she has not served the queen once in the past two years." Fanghua expressed her guess.
"So the Queen thought she was sensible and didn't attack her again?" Huang Ye understood. This Concubine Lin was a smart person.
At this time, Hongdou came back: "My lady, it's Concubine Lin."
"Just as I guessed." Huang Ye said.
Of the two extra people today, Concubine Yi could tell at first glance that they were in a hurry to go back to look after the children. The other one was Concubine Lin, who had not spoken a word today and looked so frail. From a doctor's perspective, Huang Ye believed that she was not only healthy but also very healthy. She was just pretending to be healthy, and her frail body deceived the Queen.
Seeing Fanghua and Xiaoxiangzi's worried eyes, Huang Ye couldn't help but smile: "Don't worry, although we don't know what her purpose is now, we are not easy to bully. If I'm not mistaken, she should be looking for an ally to deal with the queen. It's normal to have this idea if she wants to survive in this harem. Maybe she has taken a fancy to Xu Rou and Shi Yaoyao, who have good family backgrounds and schemes."
"She doesn't like that idiot Xu Rou." Hongdou took over the conversation.
"I'm afraid she will take advantage of you and then add insult to injury." There are so many such things in the harem, and she is afraid that you will suffer due to your young age.
"Well, since she has been dormant for two years, it shows that she is a patient person and she won't be in a hurry. Now, our main task is to see when the small kitchen can be repaired. The food brought over from the imperial kitchen is really not very hot." Huang Ye stood up, washed his hands in the basin brought in by Hongdou, and walked out while talking.
Huang Ye, who had just walked into the corridor, felt something under her feet. She looked down and saw that it was the prince: "Prince, have you eaten today?" She had instructed Xiao Xiangzi to give a portion of her meal to the prince every day.
The prince nodded. He was full and had no other thoughts. He just wanted to go out and play with Huang Ye. He felt it was boring to stay in Ningyuxuan all the time.
Huang Ye knew what it was thinking, so he squatted down and chatted with her: "Does the prince want to go out? Otherwise, let's go to the Qiyun Palace of the Emperor Retired to see if the Emperor Retired is lazy today."
The prince jumped happily into Huang Ye's arms, held Huang Ye's sleeve with his mouth, and motioned her to go quickly.
Huang Ye held the prince in his arms, followed by Hongdou, and walked slowly towards the Qiyun Palace of the retired emperor.
