The crabapple tree is fragrant in the tent, and the bright moon is in my arms

Concubine Gao's eyebrows relaxed: "I heard that she caught a cold. I asked the imperial physician to treat her. It's not a big deal. Who knew she didn't come today."

Her eyes moved, and Caiyue said, "When Hua Ying saw the queen, she ignored him and refused to perform any formalities. She even drove the imperial physician who was invited away."

"Caiyue." Concubine Gao motioned her to stop talking, and looked at His Majesty gently: "Hua is young and hot-tempered, so I guess she didn't mean it."

Zhu Dingyuan looked at the queen: "Is there such a thing?" His brows were furrowed, and he was not very happy.

The Queen said, "I forgot that Hua promised to ask for leave. It was not her intention not to come and pay respects."

But her words could not appease His Majesty's anger at all.

When Zhaoyue saw the arrogant look in the queen's eyes, she felt something strange in her heart. This was unlike the queen who usually ignored her.

The harem is full of twists and turns. Although the surface is calm, undercurrents are surging. It seems as if the queen has also grown claws...

Zhaoyue and Concubine Fang looked at each other.

Concubine Fang's eyelashes trembled slightly, and she suddenly asked, "Why is what the Imperial Concubine said different from what I saw yesterday?"

Concubine Gao glanced at her and asked: "What do you mean by that, Concubine Fang?"

"I met Sister Zhao in the Imperial Garden yesterday. I chatted with her because she was attracted by the flowers. But my sister just came from the Imperial Hospital and met Hua's maid."

Zhao Yue: "Yes, I went to the Imperial Hospital to get some medicine, but I met Hua Da Ying's maid. She cried miserably and begged the Imperial Hospital's doctor to save Hua Da Ying, saying that...she was dying."

She stood up and saluted Zhu Dingyuan, her sweet voice carrying the heartache for Hua Yingying: "I don't know whether it's true or not, but the maid kowtowed and cried, I don't think she was acting.

I then said that I was not feeling well and asked the imperial physician to prescribe medicine for Hua Da Ying, but I fabricated the illness and asked the imperial physician without authorization, which was against the rules. Your Majesty, please forgive me."

Concubine Fang also spoke up quickly: "Noble Zhao is kind-hearted. It is said that saving a life is better than building a seven-story pagoda. Your Majesty, please don't punish your sister."

Zhu Dingyuan looked at Zhaoyue.

She was beautiful, with skin as white as cream, and even when she pretended to be pitiful, she still looked alluring. She didn't look pitiful at all, but the stars in her eyes that tempted him were endless, even her waist and hair were on fire.

She doesn't need to dress up elaborately. A little bit of makeup is enough to make all the other beauties in the palace pale in comparison.

Zhu Dingyuan was still sitting next to the queen, but he was feeling so hot that he could hardly suppress it.

He just glanced at her.

He coughed lightly, not wanting to punish Zhao Yue: "You did a good thing, why should I punish you?"

Concubine Gao looked unhappy, and she saw Zhu Dingyuan looking at her coldly: "Didn't Concubine Gao say that she had invited an imperial physician for her? What happened? There is such an incompetent person in the Imperial Hospital. He left just before Hua Da Ying was about to die?"

Although he was gentle, his cold smile was filled with the aura of an emperor, and his expression was cold. At that moment, Concubine Gao was panicked, but she still pretended to be calm: "Your Majesty, I, I don't know either..."

Zhu Dingyuan had doted on Concubine Gao for many years, but this was the first time he got angry with her in front of so many people, and he even humiliated Concubine Gao to the point of leaving her in the suburbs.

Seeing His Majesty's furious expression, all the concubines fell silent for a moment.

Tears welled up in Concubine Gao's eyes: "I really don't know."

Her usual method was to overcome hardness with gentleness and act pitiful, but unfortunately with Zhao Yue's stunning beauty, her current state only made Zhu Dingyuan feel bored.

The Queen came out to smooth things over: "Your Majesty, calm down. If Hua Ying has been wronged, Your Majesty will go to visit her in person later."

"What a foul atmosphere." Zhu Dingyuan said coldly, then stood up and left with a wave of his sleeves: "Lady Zhao, please come to the Hall of Supreme Harmony later."

The eyes of everyone present changed, and Zhao Yue nodded to the queen in a pretentious and shy manner: "Yes."

The queen remained calm and composed, and after saying a few words casually, she left to pay her respects.

Concubine Gao looked at Huang Quan asking Zhaoyue to leave, she clenched the handkerchief in her hand, the corners of her eyes turned red, and she wished she could tear her hand to pieces.

Caiyue was worried: "My Lady, what should we do?"

"Go back to the palace and see how that bitch is doing."

Concubine Qi quietly came to Ning Ruxin's side, looking puzzled: "In the past, my sister and Concubine Zhao were equally beautiful, but today, Your Majesty didn't even look at my sister."

Ning Ruxin smiled faintly: "Sister, you must be careful with what you say. Your Majesty is the emperor, and we cannot control who he wants to favor. If your Majesty hears this,

Don't you think that my sister is blaming His Majesty for not coming to my sister's palace? Or is it more like she is blaming His Majesty for not going to my sister's palace?"

Concubine Qi had heard from the Queen that Zhaoyue's illness was related to Ning Ruxin, so she came today to ridicule and suppress her. She never expected that she was not afraid of Ning Ruxin at all because of her sharp tongue.

She panicked: "You, what are you talking about? How can I influence His Majesty?"

Ning Ruxin's autumn eyes understood: "Sister Qipin is now close to the Queen, but she hasn't been with Concubine Ling for a long time."

"Who I'm with is none of your business!" Concubine Qi let Xiaohe support her and left quickly.

idiot.

Ning Ruxin restrained her smile and looked towards the direction of the Hall of Supreme Harmony: "Lan'er, which food is she allergic to?"

"I will go to the Imperial Hospital to inquire."

-

Zhao Yue arrived at the Hall of Supreme Harmony and stood obediently in the small hall waiting. Unexpectedly, Huang Quan came out and said, "My lady, His Majesty wants you to come in!"

"This is an important place where your majesty handles the affairs of state. I must know the rules."

"Your Majesty is unhappy, and I am still standing outside. I am afraid my head will be split into pieces soon. Please have mercy on me, my master." Huang Quan said pitifully.

Zhaoyue had no choice but to look at Taoxi: "Wait outside." At the same time, she glanced outside the door and saw He Quan standing tall, which made her feel particularly at ease, and the unpleasantness of meeting Zhu Dingyuan also dissipated a little.

After entering the inner hall, Zhu Dingyuan sat on the couch. He frowned at the memorial in his hand. After a while, he threw it aside. He looked up and saw Zhao Yue standing there. He stretched out his hand: "Why don't you come over?"

Zhao Yue sat in his arms very skillfully: "Your Majesty should not let Yue Er come to the Hall of Supreme Harmony. The harem cannot interfere in government affairs."

Zhu Dingyuan laughed: "Interfering in politics? Can Yue'er understand?"

Who are you insulting?

When Zhao Yue saw him unfold the memorial and hand it to her, she quickly covered her eyes and said, "I can't read it even if I don't understand it. I don't want to be accused of interfering in government affairs."

She was not short, but had a slender frame, which made her look petite in the man's arms. She covered her face with her hands and buried her head in his chest, looking extremely cute and lively. Zhu Dingyuan was again fascinated by the novel feeling she brought and threw the memorial away.

"Okay, okay, then I won't show it to Yue'er. I'll just ask Yue'er to accompany me, okay?"

Zhu Dingyuan placed her hand in his palm, looked at her white and tender fingers, and couldn't help stroking them: "Yue'er just curled up in my arms like a kitten, very cute."

Zhao Yue got goosebumps in her heart, but her eyes were filled with honey: "Yue'er is only seventeen years old. She is playful and spoiled occasionally. Your Majesty, please don't be angry."
