In addition to gold and silver treasures, the King of Zhou also gave Ye Zhen two high-grade spiritual treasures. One was a jasper gourd, which contained ten elixirs that could enhance one's spiritual power and was very helpful for cultivation. The other was a jade heart ring, which not only could improve one's cultivation, but it could also help one break through the bottleneck period. These two were high-grade spiritual treasures. Not only was Ye Zhen shocked, even Madame Ye was somewhat surprised.
Coming out of the imperial study, Ye Zhen still held the jasper gourd and jade heart ring in her hands. She looked up at Madame Ye. "Third aunt, this …"
"Since the King gave it to you, you should accept it." Madame Ye sighed softly. "This is also his compensation to you."
"Compensation?" Ye Zhen did not understand. "The King did not owe me."
Madame Ye snorted coldly. "Making you a princess is the biggest debt. Doesn't he have a daughter of his own? Why doesn't he let his daughter marry into Tianhao City? "
Although this was the case, in the end, it was still related to the late Tang Xuezhi.
It seemed that the King of Zhou had unusual feelings for the mother of the original owner.
"Since the King did not ask you to go to the harem to pay respects, we will go back." Madame Ye said, "Keep these two spiritual treasures well. Don't let anyone take them away."
"Okay." Ye Zhen smiled and put away the two spiritual treasures.
Before they walked out of the palace gate, they were stopped by two palace servants.
"Madame Ye, the Imperial Concubine heard that you returned to Xizhou City and wanted to invite you to a gathering. She also heard that the Ye family's third daughter entered the palace today and wanted to see her." The palace servant said to Madame Ye with a smile.
"Your Imperial Concubine is really well-informed." Madame Ye said sarcastically.
The palace servant bowed her head. "Madame Ye, please."
Ye Zhen had heard that the most favored person in the palace was Imperial Concubine Zhang. The second prince seemed to be born of this Imperial Concubine.
It seemed that it was impossible not to pay respects to her.
"It's getting late. Let's pay respects to the Imperial Concubine another day." Madame Ye obviously did not put Imperial Concubine Zhang in her eyes and did not intend to see her at all.
The palace servant was stunned. "Madame Ye, the Imperial Concubine is waiting for you. I hope you will not embarrass this servant."
"Why? If I don't go see your Empress, you won't let me go? " Third Madame Ye's face sank. She and Imperial Concubine Zhang had never been on good terms. What did it have to do with her coming back from the Holy Sect? Did she think that she didn't know that Concubine Zhang wanted to see Ye Zhen?
"Third Madam Ye, I'm just following orders. Please don't make things difficult for me," the palace maid said helplessly.
"Don't tell me I can't even make things difficult for a servant?" Third Madam Ye asked with a sneer.
"You are the Third Madam of the Ye Family. Making things difficult for a servant is too degrading."
Suddenly, a laughing voice was heard.
Ye Zhen turned her head and saw a woman dressed in gorgeous and luxurious clothes walking over. Looking at her dress, it was not difficult to guess her identity.
"Greetings, Imperial Consort Zhang." Third Madame Ye saluted indifferently, "Did Imperial Consort Zhang personally come here to see us?"
"This must be the third young lady of the Ye Clan." Imperial Consort Zhang turned her eyes to Ye Zhen. When she saw Ye Zhen's appearance, a haze flashed in the depths of her eyes. "I saw you from afar. I thought I saw Tang Xuezhi."
Third Madame Ye smiled faintly, "Imperial Consort Zhang still remembers Xuezhi. I thought you didn't even dare to think of her."
"Hanyan, aren't you thinking too much? Why wouldn't I dare to think of Tang Xuezhi?" Imperial Consort Zhang said with a smile, her eyes staring at Ye Zhen.
"Imperial Consort Zhang, if there is nothing else, then we will take our leave first." Third Madame Ye said that she did not want to stay and deal with Imperial Consort Zhang. Looking at Ye Zhen's expression, one could tell what she was thinking.
Since Imperial Consort Zhang came here in person, how could she let them leave like this?
"I heard that Third Young Lady Ye grew up in the mountains?" Concubine Zhang looked at Ye Zhen. She thought she would see a dark wild girl. She didn't expect her to look so much like Tang Xuezhi, especially her beautiful face. How could she have such good skin in the mountains? How could she have such good skin?
Ye Zhen replied in a low voice, "Yes."
Third Madame Ye pulled Ye Zhen behind her and looked at Imperial Consort Zhang with a frown. "Imperial Consort Zhang, I wonder what orders you have for me?"
"It's just that I want to reward Princess Dai Hui with something." Imperial Consort Zhang said with a faint smile, "After all, she will be married from the palace in the future. As a mother …"
"You think too much. The Princess's mother can only be the Empress, Imperial Consort Zhang. The Emperor doesn't seem to have asked Ye Zhen to call you mother." If Ye Zhen called her mother, she was afraid that Tang Xuezhi would get angry and tear her apart.
Imperial Consort Zhang's face changed slightly. "Lu Hanyan, be careful what you say."
"I have always been very careful." Third Madame Ye said with a smile.
Ye Zhen stood silently on this side. She had already felt that Imperial Consort Zhang was not kind to her. Fortunately, Third Madame Ye entered the palace today. Otherwise, she would have to deal with Imperial Consort Zhang by herself. She certainly did not want to suffer losses and grievances here. At that time, she could only confront Imperial Consort Zhang head-on.
Imperial Consort Zhang gave Third Madame Ye a cold look. When she heard that Ye Zhen entered the palace, she thought that the Emperor would let her pay her respects. As a result … she heard that the Emperor gave the girl a lot of rewards. It must be Ye Zhen who reminded him of Tang Xuezhi.
Oh, if Tang Xuezhi knew that her daughter was conferred the title of princess and married to Tianhao City, how angry would she be?
Imperial Consort Zhang's mood improved a little when she thought of Tang Xuezhi, who had become a dead person. "Third Young Lady Ye is already a princess. You should live in the palace. Why don't you stay with me for a few days?"
"Imperial Consort Zhang, I am a rough person. I am afraid that I will make you laugh." Ye Zhen said lightly. She did not want to stay.
"In fact, it doesn't matter if you stay in the palace for a few days." Third Madame Ye laughed. "I haven't seen the Empress Dowager for a long time. The Empress Dowager used to like your mother the most. It's not good to disturb her today. In that case, why don't I take you to pay respects to the Empress Dowager?"
Imperial Consort Zhang immediately said, "The Empress Dowager has been in seclusion for many years. It's not good to visit her rashly. Let's wait for a while."
Third Madame Ye smiled. "In that case, we will take our leave first."
"Good." Imperial Consort Zhang did not want the Empress Dowager to see Ye Zhen. The Empress Dowager liked Tang Xuezhi so much before. Wouldn't she treat Ye Zhen like a treasure?
"Imperial Consort Zhang, then we will take our leave first." Ye Zhen smiled faintly and followed Third Madame Ye out of the palace.
When they got on the carriage, Third Madame Ye snorted coldly. "When you see Imperial Consort Zhang in the palace in the future, you don't have to be afraid of her. She is nothing."
"…" Ye Zhen thought to herself that she did not think Imperial Consort Zhang was so terrible, but her cultivation was not enough.
Third Madame Ye narrowed her eyes slightly. "It seems that you can only go to the Holy Sect."
"?" Ye Zhen's heart moved. Let me go to the Holy Sect?
