"In that case, the Jin Nation is currently suffering from internal and external troubles." Zhao Yong thoughtfully stroked his chin, a hint of interest in his eyes.
Xu Jiang was his spy. When he knew of Zhao Ning's existence, he asked Xu Jiang to find a way to come to the capital. The most important thing for a spy was not to be too outstanding. Xu Jiang looked ordinary and could not be recognized in a crowd. He had been in the capital for half a month and no one had discovered that he was sent by the Kingdom of Qi.
He told Zhao Yong everything that had happened in the capital in the past half month. There were two things that were the most interesting to talk about. The first was that Mo Rongzhan wanted to collect a debt from the Imperial Clan. In the end, the entire Imperial Clan complained to him and even sent people to Nanyue. The land of Nanyue was definitely not as easy to tame as the Imperial Clan in the capital. The second was that the Jin Empress was sent out of the palace and Mo Rongzhan favoured someone else. Everyone was wondering if the Jin Empress would change when Consort Shu became pregnant.
Zhao Yong was not interested in the Jin's internal and external troubles. He was only curious about what Mo Rongzhan would do next. Ye Chunnan was still in Xiliang and this had nothing to do with the Jin. Why would Mo Rongzhan send troops to support Xiliang? It seemed that he was an ambitious person and wanted to join forces with Xiliang to beat the Dark North Kingdom until they could no longer retaliate.
The Dark North Kingdom was not as weak as Dongqing. Even if the Jin joined forces with Xiliang, they would not be able to do so in a short time.
"Your Majesty, does Mo Rongzhan want Qi to send troops?" The guard beside Zhao Yong asked.
"Mo Rongzhan knows that we will not send troops." Zhao Yong said with a faint smile, "He only wants the two countries to be on good terms and intimidate the morale of the Dark North Kingdom."
Xu Jiang looked up at Zhao Yong, "Your Majesty, I heard that the Princess is staying at the Sixth Wangye's residence."
Zhao Yong waved his hand. This was not important to him, "You said that the Jin Empress is not in the palace? Where was she sent? "
He had seen all kinds of beauties in his life but Lu Yaoyao's portrait still stunned him. He was interested to see her in person.
"I heard that she was sent to Chengde Villa." Xu Jiang said.
Chengde Villa? Zhao Yong revealed a thoughtful smile.
"Let's go back to the Foreign Guest Pavilion." Zhao Yong stood up and said to Xu Jiang, "You can go back. If there's any news, come back and let me know."
It was already afternoon outside. Zhao Yong had just come out of the Yiyin Pavilion when he saw his beloved general Song Hongao standing outside waiting for him with an ashen face.
"Ah Ao, how did you know that Benwang was here?" Zhao Yong asked with a smile as he boarded the carriage behind Song Honao.
Song Hongao said expressionlessly, "Isn't it easy to know where you are?"
Zhao Yong smiled. "Is everything settled?"
"Yes, this subject has met with the Assistant Minister of the Ministry of Rites. Tomorrow, the Jin Emperor will summon us to the palace," Song Honao said in a low voice.
"We also wish to see Mo Rongzhan," Zhao Yong said lightly.
"Your Ladyship, this servant has inquired. His Majesty hasn't spent the night in other places these two days, nor has he favored any other concubines. He should be reading memorials in the Palace of Heavenly Purity." Xiang Huan walked in and whispered in Hu Yue 'er's ear.
Hu Yue 'er nodded lightly. Although she already knew that this should be the case, she still felt a trace of joy. Regardless of whether the Emperor really favored her or not, she was happy now. At least she was luckier than the other women in the palace that the Emperor was willing to come to Xiuhe Palace.
"Be careful. Don't let others know that you're inquiring about His Majesty. Otherwise, ben gong won't be able to protect you," Hu Yue 'er warned in a low voice.
Xiang Huan replied with a smile, "This servant won't let Fu gonggong find out. Your Ladyship, rest assured, there won't be a next time."
"Your Ladyship." Xiang Qiao walked in from outside. "The autumn rations have all been issued. Just now, the people from the Ministry of Internal Affairs said that the rations from Yong Shou Palace haven't been collected. They wanted to ask Your Ladyship if you want to keep them for Yong Shou Palace or send them to Chengde Villa."
Hu Yue 'er froze. "Why didn't Yong Shou Palace collect them?"
Xiang Qiao said, "Your Ladyship, they are brocades and other kinds of cloth for the Empress. The palace maids of Yong Shou Palace didn't go collect them."
"Does Yong Shou Palace still need to go collect them personally? Let the Ministry of Internal Affairs personally send them. " Hu Yue 'er's expression darkened. She knew that some people thought that she was the Emperor's new favorite and were trying to please her. Did they think that the way to please her was to step on the Empress? Truly laughable. This was simply harming her.
These days, she didn't dare to be less than what she should give to Yong Shou Palace. Those who dared to hit Yong Shou Palace while they were down, she had a premonition that they would regret it in the future.
Xiang Huan immediately said, "Your Ladyship, this servant will go to the Ministry of Internal Affairs to pass on the message. Perhaps they are too busy. It's better for this servant to personally send them to Yong Shou Palace."
Shu Fei nodded lightly. "Go."
"Yes, Your Ladyship." Xiang Huan walked out with a happy expression.
Xiang Qiao came forward and changed a cup of tea for Hu Yue 'er. "Your Ladyship, is there something on your mind?"
Hu Yue 'er held the cup. She did have something on her mind, but she couldn't say it, even if it was the palace maid she trusted the most.
The Emperor had spent the night in Xiu He Palace for several days, but she still didn't realize that she had served him. Two days ago, the Emperor had actually come to Xiu He Palace. She wanted to serve him like usual. Every time she wanted to help the Emperor change clothes, the Emperor would have her leave and let Eunuch Fu serve him.
It seemed like he didn't want her to touch him at all.
She really wanted to know. That night, the Emperor had clearly come. Who did he think of and suddenly leave?
Was it because he thought of the Empress?
Hu Yue 'er didn't dare think about it. She only hoped that the Emperor's love for her would last a little longer.
Xiang Qiao saw that Shu Fei was deep in thought and didn't dare to ask more. She just quietly waited at the side.
Not long after, Eunuch Fu's voice came from outside.
Hu Yue 'er quickly had someone invite Eunuch Fu in.
"This servant greets Shu Fei, Your Ladyship." Eunuch Fu bowed to Shu Fei.
"Eunuch Fu, you may dispense with the formalities. What matter requires you to come personally?" Hu Yue 'er asked with a smile. Could it be that the Emperor wanted her to prepare to receive him tonight?
Eunuch Fu said with a smile, "The Emperor has decreed that the envoy of Qi State has arrived in the capital. This time, the Fourth Princess of Qi State also came. The Emperor wants Your Ladyship to host a banquet in the inner palace tomorrow to receive the Princess of Qi State."
Hu Yue 'er was delighted. The Emperor wanted her to receive the Princess of Qi State. Was he really going to show her status in the palace?
"The Fourth Princess of Qi State? That Miss Zhao who lives in the Sixth Wangfu? "Hu Yue 'er asked.
Eunuch Fu said, "It's the Fourth Princess who came with the envoy to receive Miss Zhao. She will follow the envoy into the palace tomorrow."
Hu Yue 'er smiled and bowed. "This concubine accepts the decree. Don't worry, Your Majesty. This concubine will definitely receive the Princess of Qi State well."
