Why do you always rush to join me after awakening?

Jinzhong and Fuheng's meeting was purely coincidental.

It’s just that Fu Heng simply didn’t want to walk the same path as Ruyi, so he took a detour.

Fuheng and Jinzhong were not familiar with each other and had only met each other a few times.

Fu Heng was inexplicably "remonstrated" by Ruyi late at night, so he felt very bad.

Therefore, when patrolling at night, he always has a gloomy face and doesn't like to talk to people.

Hailancha nudged Fuheng with his arm and said nonchalantly, "What are you doing? You look so sullen the moment you come back. Who has offended you?"

Fu Heng didn't say anything. Hailancha thought that he came directly from home today, so he leaned over and whispered, "Is your family urging you to get married again?"

"……no."

"Then what's wrong with you? Why can't you even tell me? You're so distant."

Fu Heng tilted his head to look at Hailancha and said uncomfortably, "Someone just gave me some pointers."

"That's good news. Tell me, who is it~"

Obviously, Hailancha had misunderstood something and thought that some teacher was giving Fuheng special treatment.

"It's Concubine Xian."

"..."

At this moment, the picture is as still as a god.

Hailancha turned back and didn't want to say more.

Seeing that Hailancha shut up and didn't want to talk anymore, Fu Heng didn't mention it again.

-

The emperor has not summoned anyone to sleep with him recently.

He rarely even sets foot in the harem, so no one knows what he is busy with.

The palaces enjoyed a rare period of peace.

It would be a blessing if things could continue like this without anyone causing trouble.

But there are always people who want to find a sense of existence.

"Shupin, isn't it time to change your temper? The Emperor won't like you if you keep acting like this."

Yihuan sat in the pavilion, looking indifferently at the carp playing in the lake, not really caring about what Concubine Jia said.

"Empress Jia, this is my natural disposition. If I blindly try to please the Emperor and lose myself, then I am no longer a concubine."

Concubine Jia always felt that Yihuan's words were a subtle sarcasm towards her.

Isn't this what she ordered?

Concubine Jia sneered and motioned Li Xin to bring the Eighth Prince over.

"Shupin, I see that you have been in the palace for a short time, but why is there no movement in your belly?"

Concubine Jia held the Eighth Prince in her arms and while talking, she did not forget to look up and steal a few glances at Yihuan.

"In the palace, the most important thing is to have an heir. Of course, having a prince is better, but having a princess is also much better than having no one at all~"

Yi Huan calmed down, then stood up, bowed to the concubines present, and said, "Sisters, please chat slowly. I will be leaving first."

Seeing Yihuan leave, Concubine Chun blamed her on the surface, "Sister, please say less."

Concubine Jia continued to speak sarcastically, "Hey~ Who made her unable to give birth to a child~ This is not my fault, I am just telling the truth, sister, please don't blame me~"

Concubine Chun didn't want to offend this troublemaker, so she could only smile and skip the topic.

After leaving Zhongcui Palace, He Xi spoke up for her master Yi Huan and said, "Master, Concubine Jia is really going too far. No wonder you don't like being around them."

Yi Huan's tone was indistinct, and she said indifferently, "Actually, what Concubine Jia said is not wrong. As the Emperor's woman, the most important thing is to give birth to children for the Emperor. But I drank so many pregnancy-enhancing drugs, but I can't even give birth to a child. Ha, I am really useless."

"My dear, the emperor loves you so much, you will definitely have a child. Maybe it won't be long before you can have a prince."

Listening to He Xi beside him confidently saying that she would definitely get pregnant, Yi Huan forced a smile on his face, not knowing whether to comfort her or himself, and said in a deep voice, "I hope so..."

"Empress Shupin!"

Yi Huan murmured expressionlessly, "It's... Wei Changzai."

Wei Yanwan trotted over and stood in front of Yihuan, her eyes full of smiles. She said, "If Concubine Shu doesn't mind, you can call me by my real name, Yanwan. I can also call you sister. There's no need to call you "Madam" like others do. It sounds so vulgar."

Yihuan felt that this sentence was inexplicably familiar, but after thinking about it for a long time, she still couldn't figure out where she had heard it.

"Yan Wan is quite outspoken. Where did my sister come from?"

Wei Yanwan said shyly, "I just had dinner with the emperor. I didn't expect to meet you here when I came back."

When Yihuan heard that Wei Yanwan came from the emperor's side, she smiled and didn't take it seriously.

Then he said in a gentle voice, "It seems that the emperor is very happy with you. Sister, you must serve the emperor well."

Wei Yanwan could tell that Yihuan wasn't being jealous when she said this, but was genuinely giving her a favor.

"Oh, sister, do you want to go to my sister's palace and have a seat? I have nothing to do anyway!"

Seeing the expectation in Wei Yanwan's eyes, Yihuan apologized and refused directly.

"I'm sorry, Sister Yanwan, I'm a little tired today. I'll visit you another day."

This was the first time in such a long time that Yihuan had a private chat with Wei Yanwan.

In the past, most of the meetings took place in Changchun Palace.

In addition, most of her knowledge about Wei Yanwan came from Concubine Xian, so when Wei Yanwan first invited her to visit Yongshou Palace, Yihuan refused.

Wei Yanwan looked lost for a moment, but soon smiled again and said, "Since you're tired, I won't bother you anymore. Please come and sit with me when you have time!"

"Okay, I will, sister... If you have nothing to do, you can come to my palace and sit for a while."

"Great! Then I won't bother you anymore!"

After saying that, Wei Yanwan sensibly chose to leave.

Yi Huan looked at Wei Yanwan's departing back and said to herself, "Why does she feel... different from what my sister described?"

He Xi also responded, "Master, it seems a little different."

Even after they had walked away, Chunchan and Lancui still expressed their confusion as to why their master had gone to talk to Concubine Shu on purpose.

"Master, did you just go over to talk to Concubine Shu just to have a few words?"

"correct."

"But Concubine Shu seems to have a cold personality and seems difficult to get along with."

"Is it difficult to get along? Weren't we already as close as sisters just now?"

Chunchan was a little confused.

Just calling someone sister or younger sister out of courtesy means we are as close as sisters?

Lan Cui glared at Chun Chan speechlessly and said, "What do you know? Although people like Shupin may seem cold, if you can really get along with them, they are true friends."

Wei Yanwan raised an eyebrow at Chunchan, "Uh-huh~ How's it going, do you understand~ Chunchan?"

Chun Chan nodded repeatedly and responded with certainty, "I understand, Master! So you want to become friends with the ladies!"

Lan Cui: “…”

Wei Yanwan: You silly girl, I understand a little, but it seems not much.
