1111. Chapter 1111 Jealousy

With Pei in Chengde Villa, Ye Zhen's life is not as carefree as before. She wants to go hunting in the mountains, but Pei takes her back before she goes out. She wants to catch fish, haha, Pei is with her. She couldn't even get close to the stream, and even the surrounding rabbit and snake nests had been cleaned up.

She could only read books and walk around the villa every day, which was no different from living in the palace.

Although Ye Zhen lost a lot of fun, she found a way to divert her attention. Anyway, she was more comfortable than in the palace. The only thing that made her a little dissatisfied was that living in the villa was like living in a peach blossom garden. There was no news from outside. If she couldn't receive it, she couldn't help but want to inquire about the situation in the palace.

"Go and call Xue Lin." Ye Zhen said to Hongling.

Hongling left in response and soon called Xue Lin in outside Daohuayuan.

"Empress." Xue Lin saluted, not knowing what the Queen's instructions were.

Ye Zhen knew that even if she asked Xue Lin what was going on in the palace at this time, Xue Lin would not tell her more. If it weren't for Mo Rongzhan's instructions, she would not have received any news from the outside.

"You go to Kyoto and bring Xiaoran over. I suddenly want to eat the beef noodles she made." Ye Zhen said with a smile and said nostalgically, "It feels like I haven't eaten Xiaoran's beef noodles in many days."

A smile flashed in Xue Lin's eyes, "Yes, Madam, my subordinates will go into the palace immediately to pick up Xiaoran."

Ye Zhen nodded with a smile, "It's still early now. We'll bring Xiao Ran here just in time to make dinner for me."

"I'll be there soon." Xue Lin saluted, turned and left.

Compared with the peace and tranquility of Chengde Villa, Kyoto seems much more lively.

As Lu Xiangzhi further forced the clan to repay the old money, many people secretly lamented and complained. Some even began to secretly miss the deposed emperor, saying that if Mo Ronghui became emperor, he would not With the clan forced to this point, Mo Rongzhan couldn't tolerate the clan at all. Sooner or later, he would drive them out and kill them all.

These comments did not dare to be blatant and were only spread in a small area. Before they reached the ears of Mo Rongzhan, the excitement in the palace was another scene.

Without the Queen in the palace, the happiest people are the concubines. They all think this is an opportunity.

However, they soon discovered that the emperor still didn't like going to the harem as before. Even if he went to the harem, he no longer only used the Yongshou Palace. He had changed places and now only went to the Xiuhe Palace.

Concubine Shu has really risen up. She has become the second person to be favored by the emperor. Even the empress has been forced away by her limelight. Who else dares to compete with her? I really don’t know what kind of luck she had, to be able to let the emperor dote on her so much just after seeing her in the imperial garden.

"I heard that Concubine Shu was favored by the emperor for several days when she first entered the palace. Is this true? The emperor really missed her. He just remembered her after seeing her in the imperial garden."

In the palace of Concubine An Hui, there were several nobles who were unwilling to accept Hu Yue'er. Without the queen, everyone else in the palace had a fair chance to compete. However, because of Concubine Shu, they did not even have the chance to see the emperor. No.

An Huibin curled her lips. She didn't think Hu Yue'er would be favored before. When they entered the palace together, she looked down on Hu Yue'er's life experience. The emperor did ask Hu Yue'er to sleep with him, but so what? In the end, it wasn't like that. The emperor forgot about her in a blink of an eye. Who would have thought that there would be a chance to get back up again, "Shut up, all of you. Concubine Shu is no longer what she used to be, and you dare to talk about her."

"I wonder when the Queen will come back?" someone said sourly.

In the past, only the empress was favored, and none of them were as jealous as they are now, because the empress was like a star far away in the sky, something they could only see from a distance but could not touch. But Concubine Shu was different. She was just an ordinary person on earth like them before. Why was she able to get close to it?

Concubine An Hui glanced in the direction of Xiuhe Palace and said, "For the sake of Concubine Shu, the Emperor will send the Queen away who is about to give birth... Maybe by the time the Queen comes back, Concubine Shu will be pregnant."

Her words made all the nobles around her fall silent, with a look of fear on their faces.

If Concubine Shu has a prince, her status in the palace will really be different. If the Queen cannot give birth to her eldest son, Concubine Shu may rule the palace in the future.

"I remembered that I still had things to do, so I went back first." A noble man stood up in a hurry. If Concubine Shu knew that they were talking bad about her here, who knows what would happen. She didn't want to be in the palace so soon. Just can't survive.

Others also stood up and said goodbye.

Concubine An Hui did not keep them. She had been wishing that they would leave early. She wanted to please Hu Yue'er if she could be favored. Maybe she could be supported by Hu Yue'er. If Hu Yue'er was willing, they could occupy a space in the palace together. Heaven and earth will not be afraid even if the Queen comes back in the future.

Xiuhe Palace, in the bedroom.

"Your Majesty, all the nobles in the Anhui Palace have left." Xiangqiao walked in and said softly to Hu Yue'er.

Hu Yue'er didn't even raise her eyes, "Huh?"

"If anyone in the palace is not jealous of our empress, let them be jealous. The emperor will still come to Xiuhe Palace tonight." Xiang Huan said with a smile. She had never seen the emperor before, until recently, It turns out that their emperor is so handsome and charming, and he will definitely come to Xiuhe Palace often in the future. Their concubine, Concubine Shu, has finally come to the end of her hardships.

"Okay, you all go down, I want to see these account books." Hu Yue'er said with a faint smile.

Xiangqiao and Xianghuan bowed and retreated outside the door.

Hu Yue'er lowered her eyes and looked at the account book in her hand. She was calm at first, but now she can no longer read it.

Is she really loved by the emperor now? Why didn't she feel this way? The emperor did go to Xiuhe Palace every night, and she... seemed to have gone to bed, but she always felt that something was wrong. When she lay down every day, she lost consciousness after a while. She has no memory of serving the emperor, and sometimes she has to wonder if she really... served the emperor.

If not, the emperor would not have been able to visit Xiuhe Palace frequently, and he would have given her all the rights in the harem, which clearly meant that he valued her.

Hu Yue'er recalled that time in the imperial garden, the emperor's look when he saw the queen's back, as if ice and snow melted in his eyes instantly, and spring flowers bloomed in an instant, making people unable to help but be moved when they saw it...

The emperor had never looked at her like this.
