With An Xiuzhen's blessing, the other concubines opened their mouths to wish Ye Zhen well.
Ye Zhen nodded with a smile and accepted their blessings. Although what they said may not be sincere, none of the concubines present disliked the fact that they could be treated wholeheartedly by Mo Rongzhan.
"I have heard that the Empress is the best in the capital before. Today, I see that the reputation is well-deserved. We are really ashamed of our inferiority." One of the concubines whispered.
"Yes, the Empress is so beautiful. No wonder the Emperor treats you so differently."
"Is there a need to say that? If the Emperor doesn't treat the Empress differently, does he treat you differently? "An Xiuzhen glanced at them and said.
Ye Zhen listened to their words with a smile all the time. She could naturally hear the jealousy and envy in their tone, but what could she do about it? Was it possible for her to say that they were all sisters and that she would definitely let the Emperor have a fair harvest and spread the branches for him as soon as possible?
Haha, she would rather be a jealous Empress.
"Empress, this is a sachet made for you by this slave. The craftsmanship is rough. I hope you don't mind." Jie Yu, who had just spoken, blushed and presented a delicate sachet with both hands.
Jiu Jia took it from her hand but did not give it to Ye Zhen. Instead, she held it in her hand and showed it to her.
"Lin Jieyu is really good at craftsmanship. This sachet is very beautiful." Ye Zhen said with a smile.
When Lin Jieyu heard that the Empress knew who she was, she was excited. "It's good that the Empress doesn't mind."
The faces of the others showed indignant expressions again.
For such a long time, the Emperor rarely appeared in the hougong. They all felt that with the Empress, it would be different. Even if the Emperor put all his thoughts on government affairs, the Empress would urge him to care more about the hougong. Right now, the court was still very worried about the problem of the Emperor not having an heir.
They couldn't see the Emperor, but maybe everything would be different if they please the Empress?
Ye Zhen listened to the flattering voices below, but her eyes were fixed on Hu Yue 'er sitting on her left.
When Hu Yue 'er entered the palace, she had just returned to the capital. She heard that Mo Rongzhan only favored her for a period of time.
At that time, Lu Wushuang was still an Imperial Concubine in the palace. She was able to survive under her hands and survive until now. Obviously, this Concubine Wan was not as weak as she looked.
An Xiuzhen wanted to say something, but seeing that Hu Yue 'er was still unmoving, she held back her words. After all these years in the palace, she had already understood that Hu Yue' er's birth was not as good as hers. She also looked weak and aloof from worldly affairs, but Hu Yue 'er's position was already above hers. This was her ability.
Half an hour passed, and Ye Zhen felt a little tired. Seeing that everyone was still in high spirits and didn't want to leave, Yue, Ye, Ye, Lu, and Emperor.
"Today's weather is pretty good. Why don't we take a walk in the Imperial Garden? Although there's ice in this room, it's still stuffy." "The Y Ye" Ye "Ye", "Ye and. be." Ye "" Today "
Hu Yue 'er stood up with a smile, "This concubine just came from the Imperial Garden and saw that a lot of fresh flowers have been added. Your Highness should go and enjoy them."
"Yes, the flowers in the Imperial Garden are blooming very well." An Xiuzhen immediately echoed.
"Well, then let's go together." Ye Zhen smiled.
When they arrived at the Imperial Garden, Ye Zhen was not used to being followed by a group of people like this.
"There are many more peonies in the Imperial Garden today." Cao Jieyu, who had been silent in the side hall, smiled and said, "This concubine remembers that the former Imperial Concubine liked peonies best. Your Highness is the younger sister of Imperial Concubine Lu. I wonder if you also like peonies?"
The sudden mention of Lu Wushuang stunned not only the other concubines, but also Ye Zhen. She looked at Cao Jieyu who spoke. She even knew that Lu Wushuang liked peonies. Obviously, this person was very close to her.
"When did Cao Jieyu enter the palace?" Ye Zhen asked with a faint smile.
"Replying to the Empress, this concubine entered the palace three years ago." Cao Jieyu replied with a smile.
Ye Zhen raised an eyebrow, "Oh, you entered the palace three years ago because you knew that Lu Wushuang had been abolished and became a Daoist nun. Why do you still call her Imperial Concubine?"
Cao Jieyu's face changed slightly. When she entered the palace, she was valued by Lu Wushuang. Therefore, when others dared not speak for Lu Wushuang, she was grateful in her heart, even though she knew that Lu Wushuang might have just wanted to use her.
She mentioned Lu Wushuang in front of the Empress because she thought that the Empress, who grew up in the Lu family, should have sisterly feelings for Lu Wushuang. But listening to the Empress's words, it seemed that this was not the case.
An Xiuzhen covered her mouth and glanced at Cao Jieyu. "That's right, Cao Jieyu, you really can't forget Lu Wushuang."
Cao Jieyu's face turned green and white. She trembled and dared not speak.
Ye Zhen felt impatient and was about to dismiss them all when the voice of Eunuch Fu came from the front. "The Emperor has arrived."
Hu Yue 'er's eyes lit up slightly, and she turned to look in the direction of Mo Rongzhan.
Except for her, the other concubines could not hide the excitement on their faces.
"May the Emperor be blessed." Everyone bowed down and saluted.
Mo Rongzhan raised his eyebrows lightly and strode to Ye Zhen's side, helping her up. "Why did you come to the Imperial Garden?"
"The weather is good, so I came out to get some fresh air." Ye Zhen smiled.
"Zhen will accompany you for a walk." Mo Rongzhan whispered and waved his hand. "You can all withdraw."
Hu Yue 'er bit her lip gently and looked at his back. "This concubine will retire."
An Xiuzhen was even more unwilling. She had lingered at the Empress' place for so long just to see the Emperor. Now that the Emperor had finally arrived, how could she be willing to leave like this? Who knew when she would see the Emperor again?
Unfortunately, her expectations were not seen by Mo Rongzhan. He had already taken Ye Zhen's hand and walked to the other side.
"As expected, the Emperor treats the Empress differently." Someone in the back said in a small voice.
Hu Yue 'er's eyes moved slightly. She looked deeply at Mo Rongzhan's back. As long as she waited patiently, her wish would come true. Now that the Empress was in the palace, the Emperor would certainly not be unable to see her as often as before.
"It's not easy to see the Emperor. Are you going to leave like this?" An Xiuzhen asked Hu Yue 'er.
"Otherwise?" Hu Yue 'er smiled and left the Imperial Garden with her maids.
An Xiuzhen stamped her feet. Otherwise? Could she still run up to compete with the Empress? The Emperor would certainly not let her go.
