!!
At this moment, Lei Bingfu was not in Jianjia Palace. Yesterday, she had been thinking about what to do next.
Although she regretted entering the palace again to become a beauty and began to envy the life outside the palace, she was very clear that it would be very difficult to leave the palace in this lifetime.
So what should she do?
She thought about it for a whole day, but still could not come up with an answer. Since she did not know what to do, she could only muddle along and let nature take its course. She would wait for Ming Yu to return. She felt that putting her hopes on Ming Yu was better than hoping for Murong Ke.
Murong Ke was a heartless person. His heart was filled with other people.
Sigh, how worrisome.
"Niang niang, Su Jieyu has come." Ding Xiang came in from outside and said, "Do you want this servant to send her away?"
Lei Bingfu sat up. "No need. I'll go see her."
She still had to explain to Su Yingying about what happened yesterday, otherwise she would really become the public enemy of the harem.
However, she really admired Su Yingying. Yesterday, Su Yingying had the door slammed in her face and left with a grievance. Today, she could still come to visit her with a smile. This wasn't something that any woman could do.
The women in the Imperial Harem could go far, not because of the Emperor's favor, but because of a woman like Su Yingying. She knew what she wanted and what she should do.
If it was in her dynasty, Su Yingying would definitely be a strong opponent for her.
Lei Bingfu walked out of the bedroom and smiled at Su Yingying, who was already sitting in the main hall. "Su Jieyu."
"Lei Huipin, are you alright?" Su Yingying stood up and looked at Lei Bingfu with concern. It was as if the humiliation and jealousy she suffered yesterday were just an illusion. She was a completely different person from the tearful Lei Bingfu yesterday.
"I caught a cold, but I'm much better now." Lei Bingfu said, "Actually, it was just a small matter. Yesterday … His Majesty suddenly came and reprimanded me. I didn't want to see anyone, so I said I was sick."
Su Yingying was stunned. She didn't expect Lei Bingfu to be so honest about what happened yesterday. No, wait, what did she just say? The emperor didn't stay the night at her place, but came to reprimand her early in the morning?
"Why would the emperor reprimand big sister?" Su Yingying asked in confusion.
Lei Bingfu smiled bitterly and said vaguely, "Before the princess left the palace, she came to find me."
"I didn't expect His Majesty to blame you for the princess leaving the palace." Su Yingying understood that Lei Bingfu was implicated by the princess leaving the palace. No wonder the emperor's expression was so ugly yesterday. It was most likely because there was still no news of the princess.
"Forget it. It's already like this anyway." Lei Bingfu waved her hand. "I'm really sorry for neglecting you yesterday."
"Sister, don't say that. I understand you," Su Yingying said.
Lei Bingfu sighed. "It's not easy to have someone in the palace who understands me as well as my sister."
"In fact, I'm envious of my sister. At least the emperor remembered you and let you go to Hu Guo Temple with him." Su Yingying enviously said. Compared to the emperor who didn't even look at her, she would rather be like Lei Bingfu, at least be able to enter the emperor's eyes.
God knew how much she didn't want to go to Huguo Temple!
"Actually, I'm just going to pray." Lei Bingfu laughed dryly. "By the way, I heard that the flower festival is coming up. I wonder if this year's flower festival will be held smoothly."
Since the disappearance of Princess Qin, there has been no flower festival for many years. Now that Princess Qin is back, the flower festival should be held again.
Su Yingying was indeed diverted from the topic. "If it is held, can we leave the palace?"
"This … depends on the emperor's intention." Lei Bingfu said.
They were the imperial concubines of the harem. If the emperor did not agree, they could not go anywhere.
Su Yingying was a little disappointed. She felt that the emperor would certainly not agree.
Just then, Ding Xiang came in and said, "Niang, Princess Qin is outside and asks to see you."
"What?" Lei Huipin was stunned. Why did Princess Qin come?
Su Yingying looked at Lei Bingfu in surprise. Why did Princess Qin come to see Lei Huipin? She knew Princess Qin, who used to be the master of Yong Shou Palace.
"Please come in." Lei Bingfu stood up and went out to meet Ye Zhen in person.
"It's just a princess. Why do you need to greet her personally? Let me go." Su Yingying said.
Princess Qin was not an ordinary princess! Lei Bingfu smiled and said, "Sister, come with me."
Su Yingying thought that even if Princess Qin used to have a distinguished status, she was now just a princess. The emperor's attitude towards Prince Qin was not clear. As the imperial concubine, shouldn't they pay attention to it?
Naturally, Lei Bingfu would not explain to Su Yingying that although Princess Qin was no longer the former empress, she was a unique existence in the hearts of the Jin Kingdom and even the whole world.
She was the irreplaceable person in the heart of the emperor.
"Princess Qin." Lei Bingfu had already walked out of the hall. Seeing Ye Zhen coming from the courtyard's bluestone road, she hurried to greet her.
"Lei Huipin, I heard that you were not feeling well, so I came to see you." Ye Zhen looked at Lei Bingfu with a smile and saw that her face was ruddy and did not look sick.
Su Yingying followed behind Lei Bingfu. She had heard that Princess Qin used to be a beauty that could topple a country. However, beauties would always be past their prime, not to mention that Princess Qin was already a mother of two children. It was inevitable that Su Yingying disapproved of Lei Bingfu. Now that she saw the young and beautiful woman in front of her, she knew that a beauty was indeed a beauty.
"Greetings, Princess Qin." Su Yingying bowed in a well-behaved manner.
Ye Zhen looked at her dress and knew that she was a concubine in the palace. She turned aside and did not accept the greeting. "Your Highness is too polite."
"This is Su Jieyu." Lei Bingfu introduced, "She knew that I was not feeling well, so she came to visit me."
"Sister and Princess Qin must have a lot to talk about. It happens that I have something to do in the palace, so I will leave first. I will visit sister another day." Su Yingying said. She felt that it was better to keep a little distance from Princess Qin, so as not to be implicated in anything in the future.
Lei Bingfu did not keep her. She watched Su Yingying leave and said to Ye Zhen with embarrassment, "I let the princess worry about me. In fact, I said that I was not feeling well to avoid trouble."
Ye Zhen chuckled, "I can see that."
"I almost forgot that you are a divine doctor. Whether I am sick or not, you can see at a glance." Lei Bingfu said.
"I should have come to see you that day because of your fright." Ye Zhen remembered Lei Bingfu's expression when she wanted to protect her that day. It was clear that she did not want to take risks, but she still stood in front of her.
People are most likely to reveal their true nature in the face of danger.
She had doubts about Lei Bingfu's intention to save Ming Yu before, but now she had no doubts at all.
Even if it happened again, Ye Zhen believed that Lei Bingfu would still stand in front of Ming Yu regardless of personal safety.
