Chapter 38

Xiao Zhiyun placed Aunt Banyuan in Qinghou's mansion, she didn't believe that what she wanted to know would not come out!
But Aunt Banyuan went into seclusion as soon as she moved in...

Xiao Zhiyun can't spend all day at Aunt Banyuan's door, after all, she still has to go to Yuqian.

It's strange to say that since she sent letters home to the soldiers, she felt that the old emperor treated her better, but she didn't understand the key to this for a while.

This day, E Hongzhuang, the chief palace of the Imperial Palace, came over with a plate of smiles.

The old emperor who was reading a book glanced lightly, pointed at Xiao Zhiyun and said, "I reward you."

Xiao Zhiyun sized up the old emperor in surprise, and rewarded him for no reason?
She was puzzled and thought while eating after picking up the plate.

The old emperor glanced at her after turning a page of the book, and said with a chuckle, "Do you eat a lot while standing?"

"Ah?" Xiao Zhiyun asked in a low voice, and sat down silently after thinking for a while.

After several days, it was like this, Xiao Zhiyun became more and more uneasy, the old emperor will not make any big moves, right?
When he dismissed King Yong's concubine, he also talked to King Yong like coaxing a child.

However, after waiting for a few days, there was really no action...

Until the Mid-Autumn Festival, the old emperor sent her to Qingxiang Hall to deliver mooncakes to Princess Yong.

"Zi Shan looks like he doesn't care about people, but actually he has the best heart. You are in front of the emperor all day long, why don't you go to her place and talk with her." The old emperor said earnestly.

Xiao Zhiyun understood in his heart that co-authoring is not only about delivering moon cakes, but also has other tasks.

Just why should she go?
Prince Zhao chose her to go to Yuqian back then, obviously anyone can do it...

Puzzled, she took the food box and went to Qingxiang Hall.

When she came outside the Qingxiang Hall, she smelled a sweet fragrance, but the inside of the hall was even sweeter.

After the briefing, she walked into the hall.

In the hall, Princess Yong was practicing calligraphy with her son in her arms, while the daughter next to her was babbling.

"Greetings to the concubine and empress." Xiao Zhiyun knelt down and said.

Concubine Yong looked up, her cold face was indifferent, "I don't know what orders my father has?"

Xiao Zhiyun came over with a food box, "As ordered by His Majesty, I will deliver a plate of mooncakes to your empress."

Concubine Yong said indifferently: "Is it Mid-Autumn Festival? The moon is round and people are not round. It's no fun after it, and it's useless to eat it."

After Xiao Zhiyun brought out the mooncake, she said with a smile: "Your Majesty and her sons and daughters are by your side, how could it be round? This is a gift from His Majesty to you and your two young Highnesses."

Concubine Yong's face softened slightly, "Yes, I don't expect extravagance if I have a baby around my knees."

After the voice fell behind, a strange female voice came from the apse.

Immediately, Concubine Yong's face became gloomy again, as if she could wring out water.

Xiao Zhiyun listened carefully, and it seemed to be the delicate voice of Concubine Yan, mixed with the heavy panting of a man.

She had no choice but to smile innocently: "Your Highness is really full of energy, you can still practice martial arts when you have nothing to do."

Seeing that Concubine Yong's complexion was not very good, Xiao Zhiyun pretended to be acquainted, and followed Princess Gaomi's way to win Concubine Yong.

"Your Majesty, it is said to combine work and rest. You see, your Highness has written so many words. Why don't you take him to the garden and enjoy the flowers."

Concubine Yong guessed that she was also a social fear, and looked at Xiao Zhiyun's hand incomprehensibly.

"In autumn, all the flowers are gone, there are no other flowers except chrysanthemums, so let's not go."

Xiao Zhiyun could only laugh and said: "There are also lilies, osmanthus, camellia, and roses. If you don't look at them, how will you know?"

After persuading her in every possible way, she still persuaded Princess Yong to come out.

Concubine Yong hugged her daughter Zhiyi, pulled her son Zhili, and Xiao Zhiyun walked in the garden along the gravel road.

The servants of the maid who followed followed slowly by seven or eight steps behind.

Xiao Zhiyun forced herself to find a topic and said, "Ma'am, look at that sweet-scented osmanthus, it's not bad for making porridge."

Concubine Yong didn't go to see Osmanthus, she only looked at Xiao Zhiyun with a light smile and said, "It's Father who asked you to relieve me."

Xiao Zhiyun sneered, she didn't expect Princess Yong's guess to be so accurate.

Concubine Yong continued: "Father thought that finding a good wife for His Highness would put him on the right track, but he didn't expect His Highness to look like this."

"His Royal Highness King Yong...has a lot of respect for Your Majesty." Xiao Zhiyun really didn't know how to praise King Yong.

Sure enough, Princess Yong laughed at her words, "He's thinking about women, thinking about how to get women to rush up to his couch, this is something that everyone in the palace knows."

As she spoke, she asked again: "I heard that His Highness stopped you on the palace road? Instead, he accepted Yan Shuyan as his side concubine."

Xiao Zhiyun helped Princess Yong turn a corner and said: "Your Highness is kind-hearted and wants to help me, but I'm afraid I won't be able to repay His Highness's kindness, so I have to find another way."

Concubine Yong gave a rare smile, "You put his nasty things in such a euphemistic way, no wonder daddy likes you, people in the palace said daddy raised you like a daughter."

Xiao Zhiyun was slightly taken aback, she didn't expect people in the palace to make such an evaluation, but she had never heard of it.

She smiled and replied: "How dare I compare myself with the princesses, it's just because of His Majesty's love."

Concubine Yong shook her head with a smile, "Actually, I should thank you. Daddy said that it was you who persuaded him to dismiss the side concubine Yong, but His Highness didn't know."

Xiao Zhiyun was slightly taken aback, the old emperor put this matter on her head?King Yong knew that he would settle accounts with her!

No wonder the old emperor treated her well these days, probably as compensation.

While talking, Chen Dianji hurried past not far from them, looking very flustered.

Princess Yong's eyes changed slightly, and she looked back at Gong'e who was following her.

"Yin Zhuang, follow me to have a look."

After Yinzhuang took the order to leave, Concubine Yong led Xiao Zhiyun to turn around and walk back, and said as she walked, "I heard that Brother Eighteen has been staying in Qingchen Hall since he came back."

Xiao Zhiyun only replied: "His Royal Highness Prince Qi really seldom goes out."

Concubine Yong said with emotion: "He and King Yong are of the same mother and compatriots. Thanks to Concubine Li's favor, the two brothers were proud of themselves."

How could Xiao Zhiyun dare to answer these words, talking about the princes in the garden, he wanted to die.

Concubine Yong didn't point at her to respond, but continued: "However, Your Majesty still prefers Eighteenth Brother, and I don't know which of these two princes will become the real heir apparent in the future."

Xiao Zhiyun's heart skipped a beat suddenly, she seemed to have saved the two princes...

Hey, which one is the New Emperor Star?
Aunt Banyuan said she changed her destiny, whose destiny she changed!
But what surprised her even more was, what was the old emperor thinking in his heart, he didn't have any intention when Prince Qi came back.

If this continues, when Prince Zhao returns, the two princes will be in the palace, and it will be awkward to meet each other.

So Xiao Zhiyun didn't have the heart to accompany Princess Yong anymore.

After finding an excuse, he left the palace and returned to Qinghou Mansion.

Lord Qing saw that his sister had something on his mind, so he asked, "Zhiyun, what troublesome things have you encountered in the palace? Why don't you tell me about it."

Xiao Zhiyun approached Lord Qing and asked in a low voice: "Brother, why do you think His Majesty has not abolished Prince Qi for so long?"

Lord Qing didn't take it seriously, "That's His Majesty's son, I guess he's reluctant, after all he doesn't have many sons, the old man wants to have more children for joy."

Xiao Zhiyun felt that Master Qing's words made sense, but he still felt strange in his heart.
