Chapter 891 Ambition, Concubines of Two Dynasties

Peonies are in full bloom and the country is beautiful and fragrant!

Such scenery is rarely seen outside. The peonies in such a yard are all of high quality, blooming with wealth and royal style.

Even though Shao Wanru's favorite thing in the past was not peonies, he couldn't help but linger a little longer at this time. He walked out of the pavilion slowly and admired them as he walked. There was no one else around, so he felt very comfortable.

But this comfort disappeared when he saw Shao Yanru.

Meeting Shao Yanru here was something Shao Wanru never expected. Hearing that Shao Yanru was sent to a remote corner, not only was she not liked by the Queen, but even the Emperor did not want to see her. Such a person would actually appear here. , is really a surprising thing.

"I have met the princess!" Shao Yanru seemed to be surprised. She just came in from the courtyard door and saw Shao Wanru. After being stunned for a moment, she suddenly saluted respectfully and behaved very naturally.

Shao Wanru's eyes fell on her body. She was wearing very light clothes. Shao Yanru would never wear such material in the past due to her status. Even the maid next to her would not wear it. Now she wears it. There was something inexplicably pitiful about her.

Her life in the palace must have been difficult, as her face was a little pale and thin, but this also made her look a little more pitiful. Although she was not as bright and beautiful as the country, she had a heart-wrenching delicateness.

The clothes looked very ordinary, well arranged, and the slender waist was tied up, making people feel more and more uncomfortable.

Shao Yanru's appearance has always been outstanding. Even under such circumstances, she looks better than ordinary palace concubines.

"Where are Baolin going?" Shao Wanru motioned for her to excuse herself, and then asked calmly.

"I have something to do to see the empress!" Shao Yanru said vaguely, her expression looking extremely sad. She no longer had the dazzling splendor of the past, which also made her overall look a bit dull.

"I wonder which palace's empress asked Baolin to take such a trip!" Shao Wanru looked behind Shao Yanru. This peony garden is close to the Empress Dowager's Cining Palace. It is also the center of the palace. Naturally, it is not Shao Yanru. The remote place where I live now can be compared.

"It's Empress Di Zhaoyi!" Shao Yanru replied meekly.

Di Zhaoyi was a young lady from the Yong-Kang Bo Mansion, and she was named Zhaoyi's after entering the palace. When Shao Wanru first came to Beijing, Di Fenglan relied on Di Zhaoyi in the palace to bully Shao Wanru.

"Empress Zhaoyi doesn't seem to be inside!" Shao Wanru said.

"I know... I just came here to see the peonies here. I heard that the peonies here cannot be seen outside." Shao Yanru said softly, without any trace of pride, as if she was really just As a little Baolin, when seeing a princess like Shao Wanru, she could only be respectful.

"Baolin please!" Shao Wanru stepped aside and smiled slightly.

Shao Yanru bowed respectfully to Shao Wanru, and then walked slowly in. Behind her, the palace maid Handan followed closely. No one paid attention to her hands. She clenched the handkerchief tightly and passed by Shao Wanru. When I saw Shao Wanru's smiling eyes, his vest was soaked in cold sweat.

If there was anyone she feared the most, there was no one else except Princess Chen in front of her.

Shao Wanru didn't stop, turned around and left with Yu Jie.

hear behind

As the footsteps faded away, Shao Yanru stopped, and then slowly turned around. His eyes that seemed soft just now were full of vicious jealousy.

"Baolin..." Handan also stopped. Seeing her cold face, he reminded her hurriedly.

"I know...it's just that I'm really unwilling...Why can a foreign bastard enjoy a high position, but I...end up in such a situation!"

Shao Yanru whispered, it sounded like he was talking to himself, but the viciousness in his words almost spilled out of his throat.

"Baolin, we have to hurry up. If the Queen discovers that Baolin has come out, I'm afraid it will be inappropriate!" Handan reminded her again.

The Queen didn't like Baolin, and the Emperor didn't even look at Baolin. How many people in the palace could look good on Shao Yanru, let alone a little palace maid.

Han Dan originally wanted to climb up, but he didn't expect that he would be worse off than he was in Chuxiu Palace. In fact, he regretted it.

But there was nothing she could do about regretting it. She could only follow Shao Yanru down step by step.

"Let's go!" Shao Yanru paused, turned around and walked inside. She really couldn't feel sorry for herself at this time. In this deep palace, if she couldn't save herself, her whole life would really be over.

The person she came to see today was not Di Zhaoyi, but to find out Concubine Lan's whereabouts.

This once high-ranking concubine heard that the emperor almost deposed the empress because of her. Later, the empress dowager came forward and suppressed the matter, which also caused Concubine Lan to be imprisoned. This was something she had used before. Everything that the power of Xingguo Duke's government found.

I heard that even though Concubine Lan was imprisoned, she still won the emperor's heart. The emperor would still go to the palace where Concubine Lan was. Although due to the empress dowager's will, the emperor did not go there much, but in fact he always did. I went, and I heard that Concubine Lan was not locked up all the time, and could come out occasionally.

The emperor didn't want to abolish the queen anymore, so the queen mother turned a blind eye.

When Shao Yanru didn't enter the palace, she had analyzed it. She felt that Concubine Lan had always been the emperor's favorite concubine and the person in the heart of the emperor. Otherwise, the life of the imprisoned Concubine Lan would not have been so easy. , even though she is the queen, she can't avoid this Concubine Lan.

All topics about Concubine Lan were never mentioned in Fengyi Palace.

As for Concubine Lan, everything about her gradually became taboo in the palace, and no one else was allowed to know about it.

When Shao Yanru entered the palace in the past, she also secretly pretended not to know and wandered to the palace where Concubine Lan was, hoping to see Concubine Lan. Unexpectedly, she was scolded by Chu Liuyue later and asked her to Far away from Concubine Lan's residence.

She had an accident in the Queen's Empress's Fengyi Palace that day. No matter what she did next, the Queen's Empress would not treat her well. The other concubines knew that she was not treated well by the Queen's Empress and it was impossible for anyone to do so. Even Di Zhaoyi, who dared to help her openly, only took care of herself through a roundabout relationship.

She had to have a backer in the palace, and the Queen was impossible. The Emperor didn't want to see her now, let alone the Queen Mother. The only change was that of Concubine Lan.

If he could get the favor of the Emperor's beloved Empress Lan, his life in the palace would definitely be easier.

Besides, Concubine Lan has fallen into this situation.

This is also the reason why the Empress is here. Concubine Lan and the Empress must be at odds with each other. For these reasons, Shao Yanru is confident that as long as he sees Concubine Lan, he will definitely be able to persuade Concubine Lan to help him.

Shao Yanru then borrowed Di Zhaoyi's name and came here secretly, but she didn't expect to meet Shao Wanru, and for a moment she felt jealous and hateful.

But he also knew that now was not the time to be jealous of Shao Wanru, so he gathered his mood and hurriedly entered the peony garden.

After searching around, I couldn't find Concubine Lan. I only saw the kettle and stove thrown away in the pavilion on one side, and there were two teacups on the table. The tea was already cold.

Standing at the pavilion, Shao Yanru looked at the stone table in front of him with gloomy eyes, a sharp look on his face, and said nothing.

"Baolin will sit down for a while first, and I'll go look around again. Maybe Lan Fei is hiding aside and doesn't want to see anyone!" Han Dan suggested with a knowing eye.

"No need to go, he's gone!" Shao Yanru shook his head.

"That's not necessarily the case. Concubine Lan is just like Bao Lin. It's hard to see people and she's very likely to hide!" Han Dan didn't give up. She also hoped that Shao Yanru could come forward.

These days of not getting ahead are really sad. Not to mention Shao Yanru, even Han Dan himself is living a very miserable life, being criticized everywhere.

"Shao Wanru just met Concubine Lan!" Shao Yanru walked to the stone table, picked up a teacup and took a look at it, and said coldly, with anger in his eyes.

She tried her best not to see the person she wanted to see, but Shao Wanru had just entered the palace, and she unexpectedly met him by chance.

Thinking about the situation of the attack again, it is not like this. I wanted to be Princess Yue, Princess Zhou, or Princess Chen, or Princess Xin, but in the end I became the lowest Baolin, while Shao Wanru was able to become Princess Chen , why!

She is the eldest daughter of the entire Xingguo Duke's family who has grown up in the palm of her hand. How can she be compared to Shao Wanru, a wild child found from outside?

Handan lowered his head and did not dare to speak anymore. This was often the time when Baolin was emotionally unstable, and you could tell just by looking at the ferocious look on his beautiful face.

At this time, as a servant, it is best not to say anything.

The pavilion became silent, with only the sound of the wind blowing in his ears. The tea cup in Shao Yanru's hand fell heavily, and the hatred on his face slowly receded, revealing only a bit of coldness: "Let's go back first, you will come back later." Let me tell you again...if there is any trace of Concubine Lan next time, please report her as soon as possible!"

"Yes, I will send the message shortly!" Han breathed a sigh of relief and said hurriedly.

"It's getting late when we come out, let's go back early!" Shao Yanru nodded, turned and walked out of the pavilion. She was not favored now, so she had to keep a low profile. Besides, she didn't really want to go to the emperor's bed.

Although the emperor has high power, he is old after all. He doesn’t know when he will be gone. He is still young and reliable. It doesn’t matter to Baolin. He can at least hide in a corner of the palace for a while. He was too eager to move forward before, so he fell into this situation. The current situation.

Of course, it is only the body that is taking refuge temporarily, not the mind.

Now that she's in the palace, with such unique conditions, she can't run away with these favorable factors in vain. None of the things that originally belong to her will be missed. It's not like this has happened to the concubines of the two dynasties in history. things...
