"She said that thanks to the Queen Mother's grace, she had moved out of the cold palace and her life had improved a lot, but she was short of staff. She wanted her family to ask the Queen Mother to send two maids from her family to serve her in the palace."

"Ah?" Xiao Hui was stunned. "She's just changing clothes now. There are only two palace maids with her. No more people can be added."

"She also said that I hired a doctor for her, but she was afraid that I had bad intentions, so she asked her family to find a doctor they knew to treat her."

Xiao Hui was angry: "The young lady asked the imperial physician to treat her illness, but she doesn't trust him?"

If you really want to harm her, do you need to go through such troublesome means as hiring an imperial physician?

"My dear, what else did she say? Did she mean to harm you?"

"That's not true."

"She's sensible." Xiao Hui disliked Yu Tingjin very much. "It would be best if the Yu family couldn't find a suitable imperial physician and let her stay ill for a while longer."

Fei Wan smiled and assured Xiao Hui.

The Yu family would never let Yu Tingjin get what he wanted.

Yu Tingjin overestimated the Yu family's love for her.

Fei Wan believed that after Yu Zhong saw with his own eyes how much the emperor honored him at the birthday banquet, he would definitely reconsider his own importance and the importance of Yu Tingjin.

After returning to Guanlan Courtyard, Feiwan took a short rest, and Xiangyi came to report:

"My lady, the almond yogurt and white jade lotus seed soup you ordered are ready."

Two crystal bowls were served. The milky white custard was solidified like a paste, and it was lovely as jade. The lotus seed soup was crystal clear, and it was decorated with osmanthus flowers, red silk, etc. It looked very refreshing and sweet.

Fei Wan tasted two bites of each and thought they were delicious, so she asked someone to put them in a food box.

The unfilled portion was shared among the palace maids: "Everyone have a taste. If you like, please eat more."

Then he took a sedan chair and went to Chenqian Palace.

Having been honored yesterday, I naturally have to show my courtesy to the emperor today.

It rained for half the night and the weather became much cooler. The leaves and petals on the roadside were still covered with shiny raindrops that had not yet dried up. I felt refreshed as I walked along.

Before he even reached his destination, he met the emperor on the way.

When Fei Wan saw the emperor, she got off the sedan chair from a distance, walked up to him and saluted him.

"Bless your Majesty."

Xiao Yu took Fei Wan's wrist and helped her up: "Where are we going?"

"Send two snacks to His Majesty."

Fei Wan took the food box from the maid and handed it to Eunuch Cao.

She said shyly, "I wanted to make it myself. I looked at the recipe list last night and thought I had learned it. But I got up this morning and tried several times, but I couldn't make it..."

Looking at recipes in the middle of the night is pure bullshit.

I did go to the Guanlanyuan kitchen for a walk twice in the morning, but I didn't expect to learn it, so naturally I couldn't do it.

But you don't have to do the thing, but you must say the right words to coax the person.

At this time, Cao Bin had already opened half of the food box, allowing the emperor to see what was inside.

Xiao Yu was curious: "You didn't make it, what about these?"

"I asked the palace maids around me to do it." Fei Wan lowered her head, looking embarrassed.

This made Xiao Yu laugh out loud.

"Although it wasn't made by Zhaoqing himself, I appreciate your thoughtfulness."

"Thank you, Your Majesty." Fei Wan looked at the emperor with a look of longing. "I am a fool, but Your Majesty doesn't despise me."

"It doesn't matter if you're stupid, sincerity is what matters most."

Xiao Yu pinched Fei Wan's chin.

Other concubines asked their subordinates to do things and claimed that they did it themselves, just to win favor.

She, on the other hand, could have said nothing, but she foolishly told the truth.

"His Majesty……"

Fei Wan lowered her head.

As shy as ever, she added a touch of coquettishness, "Your Majesty, do you really think I'm stupid?"

Xiao Yu smiled and said, "Zhao Qing is not stupid. How could a stupid person know that blood tests are unreliable?"

Fei Wan's heart tightened.

I looked up at the emperor's expression and realized that he was just teasing.

But it doesn’t matter if it’s not a joke.

She had prepared her speech.

She blinked, tears welling up in her eyes, and Fei Wan knelt down gently.

"Your Majesty, I sent you this gift to please you and to apologize."

"Yesterday's birthday banquet was disrupted by my identity, and I feel deeply guilty. Furthermore, my impassioned defense yesterday caused so many people to bleed, and even pricked Your Majesty's finger. I am not virtuous enough."

"Your Majesty, please punish me!"

The beauty shed tears, looking pitiful.

There is also undisguised grievance amidst the pity.

Xiao Yu admired Fei Wan's beauty for a moment before pulling her up: "Yesterday is gone, Zhao Qing, there's no need to dwell on the past."

But Fei Wan knelt and refused to get up, only asking for punishment.

The soft corners of her mouth curled up stubbornly.

Xiao Yu was puzzled, "What's wrong with you?"

Fei Wan tried her best to hold back her tears.

But I couldn't hold back my tears and finally cried out loud.

"Your Majesty! I don't know what to do... Your Majesty, I am terrified!"

Since she was favored by the emperor, she had never lost her composure like this in front of the emperor.

Xiao Yu was puzzled and surprised for a moment.

"Get up and tell me in detail."

Xiao Yu put away the smile on his face and became a little serious.

Fei Wan stood up as she was told, but she couldn't stop crying. She cried and talked to the emperor.

She said that yesterday in Xianyue Palace, in order to prove that she was not guilty of deceiving the emperor, she argued with others, made people bleed, and even stabbed the emperor whom she cared about the most.

She felt like a shrew.

It's too undignified and elegant.

"But Your Majesty, if I don't do that, I could be executed for deceiving you. I want to be a virtuous person, worthy of your favor, but if I simply give in, I will die unjustly, and how can I serve you?"

"What should I do..."

"Your Majesty, please teach me."

Xiao Yu was silent.

After a while, he sighed softly.

Reach out at your side.

Cao Bin immediately understood and handed over a clean silk handkerchief.

Xiao Yu wiped the tears from Fei Wan's face with a handkerchief, his movements very gentle.

"Wanwan, don't cry."

"You did nothing wrong."

"It's the fault of the person who hurt you."

"Next time if something like this happens again, you still have to argue, fight, and do what you should do."

"Because you are my woman."

"The Daliang Emperor's favorite concubine must be virtuous and noble, and must not be provoked at will!"

Fei Wan raised her head, her crystal clear and tearful eyes staring at the emperor infatuatedly.

He seemed to be stunned by what he heard.

"Your Majesty's woman...cannot be provoked casually." She murmured softly, savoring the memory.

After a moment, he nodded vigorously.

Her face was filled with enlightenment, gratitude, and boundless admiration for the man in front of her.

"I must learn to be brave and deal with all kinds of dangers before I can be worthy of being your woman!"

Her fair and delicate face suddenly became more resolute.

As if he had made up his mind.

Xiao Yu nodded approvingly.

Zhaoqing, this child is teachable.

Because her heart and eyes are full of him, she attaches so much importance to what he says and is willing to make changes for him.

"Come, I'm going to the virtuous concubine's place, let's go together."

Xiao Yu took Fei Wan's hand and personally helped her into the sedan chair.

He also had the sedan chair follow next to his sedan chair, only half the length of the sedan chair between them, so that it would be convenient for him to talk to Fei Wan when he turned around.

This distance, almost shoulder to shoulder, is the highest honor!

Fei Wan enjoyed it silently, knowing in her heart that she had passed this hurdle again today.
