Quick Wear: The Concubine is Seductive and Seduces the Mistress

Chapter 222 The Prince's Early Death White Moonlight 19

Early the next morning, Li Yize sent palace servants to get the list of new palace maids who had entered the palace in the year since he ascended the throne.

After thinking it over, he still felt that if A Yin was really in the palace, the reason she didn't go looking for him might be that Shen Heng's identity was forged and she had no chance to find him.

When the emperor wants to look for someone, there will always be some rumors. When Chen Yanzhen heard about it, he was so angry that he threw the teacup.

It can be said that Li Yize has never cared so much about someone before. He searched for a palace maid repeatedly. If this isn't obsession, what is?

She had been pampered for so many years and could no longer remain calm, so she immediately brought her lunch box to the Zichen Palace to ask for a meeting.

Almost as soon as Wu Zhengxiang finished saying that the Queen wanted to see him, Chen Yanzhen came in carrying a lunch box.

Li Yize frowned slightly, thinking that she was being a little unruly, but he didn't say anything. He even covered the list of palace maids with a guilty conscience.

Li Yize had only been on the throne for a short time, and the relationship between the two was still good, so Chen Yanzhen spoke directly: "Your Majesty is really busy. I don't know which palace maid you have taken a fancy to. Why are you looking for her in such a high-profile manner? State affairs are so busy, why not leave it to me?" She would get rid of that person as soon as she found him.

Except for her, no one knew that His Majesty cared so much.

"Who told you these nonsense?" Li Yize did not give a direct answer. He mentioned the child when he talked to her.

"Your Majesty, who are you looking for?"

Li Yize can love her as a couple, and the emperor and empress can live in harmony, but he doesn't want her to get involved in this matter. "It's nothing. I still have official business to attend to. If the queen has nothing else to do, please go back first."

"His Majesty……"

Chen Yanzhen was a bit stubborn, but luckily Wu Zhengxiang was smart and coaxed him out with some nice words.

It was impossible for Li Yize to forget about this newcomer to the palace. Apart from Concubine Shen who made a fool of herself, the next person to enter the harem a few days later was Concubine Liang. To be precise, she was the first of the newcomers and was the talk of the town for a while.

Chen Yanzhen couldn't stand these concubines, so he arranged for them to pay their respects on the first and fifteenth day of each month. Apart from that, the newlyweds would pay their respects when they first received the emperor's favor.

It was a coincidence that the day after Lady Liang was favored by the emperor fell on the first day of the new year, so the morning greetings were quite lively.

Liu Fuyin lived far from Fengqi Palace, but she arrived neither late nor early. However, Chen Yanzhen was already sitting at the top waiting for her.

He only said a few words to her when he saw her coming. It was normal. The Concubine Liang, who was favored last night, had not arrived yet, so naturally he would not focus his fire on her.

However, almost as soon as Chen Yanzhen finished speaking, Miss Liang arrived, her face rosy and she looked delicate and charming after an event. She was not late, but she was late because some people didn't like her.

"Sister Liang looks delicate, maybe she has suffered a lot." The one who spoke was Concubine Shu, who loved to tease people. After she finished speaking, she slammed her head and said, "Hey, look at my mouth. It's an honor to be favored by His Majesty, not a hardship!"

"Since you know you said the wrong thing, just say less." The Queen said coldly and looked at Concubine Liang, "It's a good thing that Concubine Liang was summoned by His Majesty, but you have just been favored, so don't be arrogant."

"Please forgive me, Queen, I am indeed feeling unwell..."

"If you feel unwell, go and ask the imperial physician. If you tell others, they will think that I, the queen, am bullying you. After all, so many sisters are waiting for you."

"It's my fault."

No matter what Chen Yanzhen said, Lady Liang immediately admitted her mistake in fear. Chen Yanzhen couldn't say a few words to her before he could continue and left to pay his respects.

"My lady, I have something important to report."

She was getting annoyed day by day. After the greetings were over, she was about to ask someone to prepare breakfast, but Concubine Shen came to talk about something again.

"Let's talk about it, what's the matter?"

Shen Jieyu acted as if she could not see the annoyance on the queen's face, and said excitedly: "I will report that Concubine Song hid the gifts sent by a man from another family, and missed her every day and even released river lanterns to wish to see her again!"

"What did you say?" Chen Yanzhen was really shocked. Concubines in the palace were not allowed to have private affairs. If what Concubine Shen said was true, then it would be easy to get rid of her. "Do you know what you are saying? It is a serious crime to slander a concubine!"

"I am not speaking nonsense. I also learned about it accidentally. That day, Concubine Song was sneaking around in the Imperial Garden. When I followed her, I saw her releasing river lanterns. I felt strange and took a look after she left. Your Majesty, you don't know how unsightly the words on the paper were. It even boldly included the name of my lover. It's a pity that the ink was blurred and the specific name could not be seen clearly.

"What a coincidence! There is a maid in my palace who is a sister of the maid in Yunxi Palace. She also accidentally saw Song Cairen holding a worn-out sachet and muttering something about love! I suspect that it was given by Song Cairen's lover..."

Concubine Shen described it vividly, as if she had seen it with her own eyes, which made Chen Yanzhen furious. Finally, following Concubine Shen's suggestion, he asked someone to invite Liu Fuyin over while secretly sending people to search the palace.

As for whether searching the palace was against the rules, she was the queen, so searching the harem to check it out was normal and legal.

"I greet the Queen and Concubine Shen."

"Talented Lady Song, Concubine Shen reported that you released river lanterns privately a few days ago. Do you have anything to say?" Chen Yanzhen is not stupid. He would not accuse Concubine Shen of missing her lover just because of her one-sided statement.

We have to wait until the people who searched the palace come back to find out what happened, so she asked about the river lanterns first.

The purpose of releasing river lanterns is to pray or to remember deceased relatives. Except for festivals, it is strictly prohibited in the palace. So her question is not wrong. It's just that this matter can be a big deal or a small one. It depends on how the people above want to deal with it!

Liu Fuyin knelt down quickly, "I know I was wrong. I have admired Your Majesty for a long time. I have been in the palace for a long time but have not seen Your Majesty. That's why I wanted to release river lanterns to pray and hope to see Your Majesty as soon as possible. I know I am guilty, please punish me, Queen!"

Almost as soon as Liu Fuyin finished speaking, Peilan came in hurriedly and handed the things she found to Chen Yanzhen. Chen Yanzhen took a look at it and threw it in front of Liu Fuyin angrily: "Song, what do you mean by admiring His Majesty? I think you admire someone else. The evidence is all here. What else do you have to say!

"When Concubine Shen said this, I thought there was some misunderstanding, but I never thought that I was wrong about you! Concubine Song, you are so disappointing!"

The queen was planning to question the person and then convict him. Before she saw anyone coming in, she heard Li Yize's teasing voice: "What disappointment? Tell me about it, Queen, your Fengqi Palace is really lively today!"
