The emperor over there was reminded of his loved one when he saw the red plum blossoms on display at the palace banquet, and Chunyuan's silhouette seemed to appear vaguely in front of him.

The longing for his deceased wife made him involuntarily walk towards Yime Garden.

The emperor was walking between the branches of the red plum blossoms, quietly appreciating their beauty.

Suddenly he heard a woman's voice coming from afar. The voice was not clear, but the scene at this moment reminded him of Chun Yuan, so he followed the voice to find where it came from.

"Since arriving at the palace, everyone has been begging for the emperor's grace and favor. I wish my parents and sister good health and well-being, and I wish to live a peaceful life in the palace and spend the rest of my life. There are constant fights in the palace, and it is not easy to protect yourself. I hope that the adverse wind will understand your intentions and not destroy you."

The emperor was far away, and when he found the vague figure of the woman, he only heard the poem "If the headwind understands my feelings, please don't destroy me so easily."

The emperor, who was originally very interested, suddenly changed his expression. If you understand the meaning of the adverse wind, don't destroy it easily.

Isn't this the poem that Xia Dongchun recited when he met her? Maybe some palace maid wanted to imitate Xia Dongchun.

There are pearls and jade in front of us, but we are just trying to imitate them.

Before she even officially met the emperor, Zhen Huan was accused by the emperor of being scheming.

The emperor frowned and scolded:

"Who's there? Who's there?"

Seeing that Zhen Huan didn't say anything, the Emperor's expression became even uglier. This tactic of playing hard to get was ridiculous to this palace maid. Didn't he think that she had left a deep impression on him and would rise to great heights in the future?

"If you don't speak up, I'll have the entire Yimei Garden turned upside down."

This time, the emperor's tone was filled with anger.

"I am a maid from the Plum Garden. I did not mean to offend you. Please forgive me."

The emperor thought this was consistent with his guess, a palace maid who was dreaming of climbing up the social ladder.

The emperor didn't want to ask anything else and was just about to find out who was the palace maid.

Then I heard Zhen Huan say:

"Don't come over here. My shoes and socks are wet and I'm changing them."

It was really funny that she was still performing. The emperor stopped and wanted to see what other tricks she had up her sleeve. Seeing her ugly appearance, the emperor felt extremely disgusted.

Unexpectedly, Zhen Huan took this opportunity to escape.

The emperor realized something was wrong and went to check, but there was no one there.

His mood grew worse, and he became annoyed at being cheated by such a person.

Just at this moment, Prince Guo saw the small statue hanging on the tree, so he took it down and put it in his arms.

Then the emperor was found.

“The flowers are the same every year, but the people are different every year.”

Looking at the plum blossoms all over the garden, she thought of Chun Yuan's character in her heart, and then thought of the palace maid who tried to win favor with poetry, and her disgust for that person grew even stronger.

"Brother, are you still unable to let go?"

"What can't I let go of?"

The emperor just thought that Chunyuan could not be replaced by a fake, and Queen Chunyuan also loved poetry. The behavior of this palace maid at this time and place offended the queen in his heart.

The emperor did not want to say more, so he pulled Prince Guo to change the subject and went back to the banquet together.

When the emperor saw Su Peisheng, he was thinking of the bold palace maid in Yime Garden, so he suppressed his anger and gave the order.

"Since you are here, I will give you an errand. Go and find a palace maid in Yimei Garden, a "talented" palace maid."

The emperor emphasized the word "talent and learning", but if one is really talented, there are many ways to win favor. How ironic.

"Your Majesty, I am stupid. What is the standard of being talented?"

"Go ask who is serving in Yimei Garden on New Year's Eve."

The emperor does not want this person to tarnish the poem "The wind is against the wind, but the meaning is understood, so please do not destroy it easily."

After giving the order, he left.

Su Peisheng thought he had found the woman the emperor had mentioned, and arranged for her to serve in front of the emperor.

The emperor was playing chess with Prince Guo and slowly placed a piece down.

"you lose."

"My brother's chess skills have improved."

"Hahaha"

The emperor was laughing heartily when a palace maid came up to serve him tea.

The emperor was just enjoying his victory over Prince Guo, and when he saw this unfamiliar man, he asked:

"You are new here. I have never seen you in the Imperial Court before."

The palace maid was Yu Ying'er. She witnessed everything that happened in Yime Garden that night. Although the emperor's tone was not good that night, such an opportunity was rare for her, so she jumped out to seek a better future.

"I am Yu Ying'er, a maidservant of Yimei Garden. I was appreciated by Eunuch Su and came to serve the emperor. If you understand my feelings, please don't destroy me.

Yu Ying'er answered cautiously, and in order to make the emperor believe her, she hesitated but still said the poem.

The emperor could not tell whether he was happy or angry, and asked her lightly:

"It is a great sin to spy on my whereabouts and use it to win my favor."

This seemingly light tone made Yu Ying'er break out in a cold sweat.

Oh no, the emperor is looking for the people who did that night to hold them accountable, not giving this a chance to transform into a phoenix.

Yu Ying'er was anxious, her hands began to tremble, and she blurted out:

"I want to report that someone is sneaking around in Yimei Garden and plotting something bad. I was a maid serving in Yimei Garden on New Year's Eve. I saw Eunuch Su looking for the maid that night. For the sake of the emperor's safety, I dare not hide it."

After saying a lot of things, Yu Ying'er finally realized what she had said and looked at the emperor's expression nervously.

The emperor could not see anything on his face, but when he heard that Yu Ying'er was going to report something, he gestured for her to continue.

Seeing that the emperor did not hold her accountable, Yu Ying'er no longer cared about anything else and exaggerated the information about the woman that night, wishing she could demote this person to the ground to clear herself of suspicion.

He was busy trying to save himself, so why would he hide anything for a palace maid he didn't know?

"That day was New Year's Eve. I was the only newcomer to Yimei Garden and had to prune the plum branches. No one else was there? Everyone was celebrating the festival. That woman came to Yimei Garden in a sneaky way to pray for blessings. Who would come here in such a cold weather? I felt something was wrong and watched her."

After Yu Ying'er said this, she secretly glanced at the emperor, and when she saw him nod, she continued speaking.

"That woman said a lot of things, such as not wanting the emperor's favor and wanting to spend the rest of her life in the palace. She also asked for the emperor's grace and favor. Then she said that poem."

Seeing that Yu Ying'er was talking incoherently, the emperor also looked serious.

I thought she was just a palace maid trying to curry favor with the emperor, but I didn't expect her to be so complicated.

She doesn't want favor, but she wants to end her remaining life, yet she still receives the emperor's favor. Putting all these things together, the emperor thought that this person might be a concubine in the palace.

"Su Peisheng, go check it for me."

The emperor became angrier and angrier, and called out to Su Peisheng in a hurry.

"And you, cooperate with Su Peisheng to investigate. If you find the person, you will be rewarded handsomely."

The emperor pointed Yu Ying'er to Su Peisheng. When Yu Ying'er heard that there would be a huge reward, she became very excited.

I thought it would be difficult to save my life, but I didn't expect this opportunity to come again.

Su Peisheng received the order and took Yu Ying'er to conduct a thorough investigation of each palace.

"Don't worry, Your Majesty. I saw her face that night."

The emperor nodded.

"Okay, I must find this person for me."
