Looking at Tai'an from the full moon

The emperor came to Yunyuan and saw Laoliu leaving Yunyuan from a distance. He turned his head and signaled Mu Dai to go to Yunyuan first to report. When the emperor walked slowly to the gate of Yunyuan, Mu Dai and Yun'er were standing at the gate waiting for him.

"Your Majesty, the Imperial Concubine is waiting for you inside~"

Yun'er said respectfully, but the emperor didn't even look at her. In the past, when the emperor walked to the entrance of Yunyuan, he would have to smile and ask Yun'er to speak well of him in front of Concubine Yun.

"My dear, I am here."

The emperor walked into the room with a faint smile on his face. Concubine Yun was still lying on the couch as usual. When she saw the emperor coming in, she slowly opened her half-closed sleepy eyes and sat up softly, looking like a gentle and harmless little lamb.

"Tell me, what's the matter?"

Concubine Yun rubbed her eyes lightly, not wanting to play along with him. But the emperor was clearly in a good mood.

"Look at this palace. I used to be so good to my beloved concubine, but why is she so ungrateful? Normally, if I wanted to step into this courtyard, it would be harder than climbing to the sky. Today, I just didn't agree to let my beloved concubine see the emperor, but I can easily walk into this courtyard. Tell me, do people like things that are hard to come by?"

Emperor Mingren looked around and finally his eyes fell on Concubine Yun's face. He stepped forward and stretched out his hand to touch Concubine Yun's face, but his hand was slapped away by Concubine Yun.

"I don't want to talk to you about this useless stuff!"

Emperor Mingren was not annoyed when he looked at the hand that was hit off. Instead, he touched the place that was touched by Concubine Yun with a greedy expression.

"Oh? Then what does my beloved want to talk to me about?"

Emperor Mingren walked straight to the chair to the left of Concubine Yun and sat down.

"Why did you suddenly grant Chen'er a marriage?"

"My beloved concubine, you are talking about this matter. The Sixth Prince is already quite old. Isn't it normal for him to get married?"

"But he doesn't like your arranged marriage! If he had someone he liked, he would naturally want to take the initiative to get married."

"My beloved concubine, you don't know that I originally only gave him the daughter of the Zuo family. He asked for the daughter of the Wei family. If I hadn't forced him like this, how could he say that he liked the daughter of the Wei family? Now he is marrying two girls at once. Isn't it wonderful?"

Concubine Yun glared at him. Chen'er didn't like either of them, but she couldn't say that Wei Changmei was being used as a shield.

"Since Chen'er has already said that he likes the daughter of the Wei family, why do you have to give him the daughter of the Zuo family as well? If you marry two concubines at the same time, the two concubines will have some thoughts in the end!"

"No, my beloved concubine doesn't understand. Not all women in the world need to be flattered like my beloved concubine. They think that being able to marry the sixth brother is a blessing from their previous life, and after marriage they will do everything they can to please their husbands~"

"Is this how you view women?"

Concubine Yun knew that the women in Tai'an were of low status, but she didn't expect Emperor Mingren to look down on them so much.

"In short, don't worry about the Sixth Prince's marriage, my beloved concubine. He will have three wives and four concubines in the future, and he will always marry the girl he loves. Instead of thinking about who to marry, why not talk to the Sixth Prince and ask him to favor them more, so that they can have children and branches sooner, and you can become a grandmother sooner, with grandchildren around your knees."

After Emperor Mingren finished speaking, he stood up and walked out. When he was almost at the door, he suddenly stopped and turned his back to Concubine Yun to remind her.

"Although I haven't set foot in this courtyard for so many years, it doesn't mean that I don't know what you have done in this courtyard. I remember all those palace maids who disappeared clearly! So I advise my beloved concubine that I won't stop you from being a good mother, but don't get in my way!"

Concubine Yun frowned and looked over. She had always thought that the emperor didn't care about these things at all, but she didn't expect that he actually remembered them all and now used them to threaten her. Looking against the light from the door, although it was not clear, she could still feel that Emperor Mingren's eyes no longer had the admiration he used to have for Concubine Yun, but only warnings and indifference.

It was also the first time that Concubine Yun saw Emperor Mingren's expression towards her. Is this what an emperor is like? As long as someone stands in his way, no matter how much he loved them, he will abandon them like a piece of trash. This was true for Concubine Xian, the Empress, Chu Yiyi, and herself. Or maybe, he actually never loved her at all.

As soon as Emperor Mingren left, Concubine Yun called Yuner and Miaoer.

"Quick! Deal with the bottom, don't let Chen'er see it!"

......

The news of Xiao Zuochen's marriage arrived at Prince Yun's Mansion before him. When he returned, the whole Prince Yun's Mansion was filled with a strange atmosphere.

"It's not that serious actually."

Xiao Zuochen seemed to be trying to comfort them. But he was still thinking, it was him who was granted the marriage, why were their expressions uglier than his?

"Master, the emperor suddenly and blatantly arranged people to be around you, so you'd better be careful. I just received news that the emperor has even refused to see the queen. Something must be wrong when things are out of the ordinary!"

Yun Wei analyzed the situation carefully, no longer as stupid as before, but more rigorous.

Xiao Zuochen also agreed with his words.

"It is indeed unusual. Moreover, the emperor did not bring Eunuch Mu Yi with him to court today. Instead, he asked Eunuch Mu Dai to accompany him... Pass the order down and have all the spies in the palace alert and keep an eye on the emperor's every move. By the way, send someone to investigate the recent movements of Eunuch Mu Yi and Eunuch Mu Dai."

"Um... yes, Master."

Yun Feng hesitated for some reason, but finally he agreed and left. Xiao Zuochen just sat there and watched him leave.

"What are you thinking about?"

Chu Yao interrupted him when he saw his eyes wide open.

"You're so lost in thought."

"No, I just vaguely sensed some unusual aura."

"What is it? Tell me."

"Do you feel that Yun Feng seems strange, as if he is worried about something?"

Chu Yao tilted his head and thought.

"It seems that since he lost his arm, he has become much less talkative~"

"That's called stability..."

"Yeah, another reason is that I think it might be because he has someone in his heart~"

Xiao Zuochen was stunned and turned to look at Chu Yao with a puzzled expression.

"You mean Yun Qian? She has been pestering Yun Feng, but that doesn't mean she likes Yun Feng. Maybe she's just attracted to him for a while. And I don't think Yun Feng necessarily likes her."

Chu Yao shrugged.

"Then I don't know what else is strange."

Xiao Zuochen held his chin with one hand, unable to think of anything else, but he just felt something was wrong. Chu Yao saw that he was still thinking about this, so he stood up and patted him.

"Why are you thinking so much? Hey~ I originally had something I wanted to tell you, but now I suddenly feel like I'm talking to myself as well."

"Which sentence?"

"Why think so much~"

Chu Yao was a little surprised when he heard that Xiao Zuochen was married by the emperor. If Xiao Zuochen really got married, it would be difficult for him to live in Prince Yun's mansion, right? And the concubine was chosen by the emperor, who was probably there to supervise Xiao Zuochen. His life would not be easy in the future. Thinking of this, he couldn't help but feel sad.

But he suddenly thought, so what if he couldn't live in Prince Yun's Mansion? He could live in Yun Mansion and bring Xiao Zuochen with him. Thinking of this, Chu Yao was instantly happy, and he put his hand on Xiao Zuochen's shoulder and hugged him out.
