Jinwei joins hands in rebirth: villains can also eat at the table

The emperor's face was gloomy, but he finally smiled and took over the conversation.

"Very well, since the Supervisor has strongly recommended you, I will trust you this time and pass on the order to confer Cao Yi the rank of Eighth-rank Official in Charge of the Five Officials. If your prediction comes true and the Empress gives birth to a legitimate son next year, I will reward you handsomely."

"Your Majesty, I bow to you in gratitude. Long live the emperor."

After they expressed their gratitude, the emperor waved his hand to signal them to leave.

Ruyi was quite happy. She stroked her belly gently with one hand, and white mist in her eyes gradually obscured her vision.

She has served the emperor for more than twenty years since she came to the palace, and has always been looking forward to the arrival of an heir. Is her dream finally coming true?

Listening to Cao Yi's words, she originally didn't believe in the theory of celestial phenomena, but seeing that he spoke so confidently, Ruyi couldn't help but feel a little hopeful.

Her beautiful eyes turned and she saw Yan Wan who was hearing these words beside her, with a meaningful look in her eyes.

"Concubine Ling, the words of the heir to the throne concern the foundation of the nation. Do not publicize what the Imperial Observatory said today."

"The Queen is right. Concubine Ling, today's incident is a royal secret. Do you know what to do?"

The emperor also nodded and looked up at Yan Wan, with an unspoken threat in his eyes.

Yan Wan couldn't help but shudder. Upon hearing this, she immediately knelt down and said, "Please rest assured, Your Majesty and Your Majesty. Today, I am only here to enjoy the beauty of the palace. I know nothing else."

"You are a good boy, Jinzhong. Send Concubine Ling back. I will summon you later."

The emperor was still immersed in the joy of having another legitimate son. He attached great importance to the two legitimate sons born to Empress Fucha. Unfortunately, God was jealous of their talents and both princes died young.

He looked at Ruyi's belly, his heart full of anticipation. It had always been his hope to have an outstanding legitimate son to inherit the throne. Could it finally come true now?

He was only concerned about Ruyi's belly, but ignored Cao Yi's prediction that Shu Fei would also give birth to a prince.

Since the 13th year of Emperor Qianlong's reign, when the Imperial Astronomical Observatory successfully predicted the disaster that would happen to the empress, the emperor began to believe in auspicious signs.

Yanwan and Jinzhong were reborn and held all the important events of the future in their hands. Therefore, if they used the theory of astronomical phenomena, they would be able to keep the emperor under their control more firmly.

Therefore, as early as when Jinzhong left the palace to take charge of the Wanshou Festival, he had been looking for suitable candidates outside the palace, specifically to place his own people around the emperor.

As long as Shu Fei gives birth to a prince and Ruyi is pregnant, the emperor will believe Cao Yi's words without a doubt, and the situation will be firmly in the hands of the two.

All of Cao Yi's predictions were obtained from Jinzhong. For the Director of the Imperial Observatory, this person was easier to control.

It would be more beneficial to place one of your own people there rather than bribe them.

The emperor is the Son of Heaven. How could he allow his own son to compete with him for glory?

There is no need to say much about this plan. All we need to do is sow doubts in the emperor's mind. When Shu Fei gives birth to a prince, the emperor will summon Cao Yi again.

Ruyi, don't blame me. I'm just being realistic and telling you what's going to happen. If you want to blame someone, blame the person sleeping next to you.

Not long after, the southern tour team left Hangzhou and headed straight to Jiangning. The Empress Dowager's 60th birthday was approaching, and local officials were making preparations everywhere, waiting to present birthday gifts on her birthday.

This time, Yan Wan had no intention of using the bellyband to frame Ling Yunche.

Since the southern tour, Jin Yuyan has served the emperor in bed only a few times, and since she is favored by the emperor, there is no need for her to do so.

Yan Wan wants to keep him so that he and Ruyi can spend more time together.

In his previous life, Ling Yunche went to Mulan Paddock for several years. Now that the distance is gone, Ruyi has gradually lost the emperor's favor. With the support of the emperor, she should be comforted.

If the two of them really get together, they have to thank her for being the matchmaker.

When she said this, Jinzhong was helping her put on a pair of beautiful hairpins and rings behind her. He stretched out his hand and wavered in front of a box filled with various pearls and jade.

Jinzhong saw Yanwan looking at him in the bronze mirror, her face hidden under the hat, dim and unclear.

"Master, you have your reasons for doing this. What can I say?"

After choosing and choosing, Jinzhong still felt that the jasmine hairpin he had picked out on the street that day was the most beautiful. He picked it up from the table, chose a good position, and gently inserted it into Yanwan's headband.

But to be honest, Yan Wan was wearing a bright red Manchu dress, and the plain and elegant mutton-fat white jade hairpin did not match it.

But Jinzhong didn't care. Every time he saw Yanwan wearing the hairpin he had personally chosen on her head, he felt sweeter than eating honey.

"You really don't care?"

Yan Wan just felt that something was strange. Jin Zhong was narrow-minded than anyone else. How could he allow Ling Yunche to jump around so happily in front of him?

I'm afraid that even though they say they don't care, they feel very jealous in their heart.

Seeing Yanwan looking straight at him, Jinzhong felt guilty, and as soon as he opened his mouth, sourness couldn't stop coming out.

"Ling Yunche is your childhood sweetheart. It's understandable that you don't want to deal with him for the time being. I'm just a small eunuch, how dare I interfere?"

The taste was right, and Yan Wan felt relieved.

"Look at you, you say you don't care, but your desire to kill him is practically written on your face. I've already followed you, so what's there to worry about? I just want to keep him for now so I can find more evidence of his affair with Ruyi. If you really care, I'll find a good way to get rid of him tomorrow."

Hearing Yan Wan's words, Jin Zhong felt his heart blossom with joy. His smile grew even wider. He slightly suppressed his joyful expression and asked tentatively, "Will you not advise me to be more magnanimous?"

"What's the point of being magnanimous? You and I are both petty people who will never let go of anything. If we talked about magnanimity in this deep palace, we would have been eaten to pieces. Besides... I just like the petty look of our eunuch Jinzhong. He's much more interesting than the handsome young man in the picture book."

Yan Wan raised her hand and touched the white jade hairpin, then tilted her head slightly and looked at him sideways.

Jinzhong's breathing stagnated, he raised his hand and put it on her cheek, then suddenly bent down and moved in front of her.

Yanwan only felt Jinzhong's vigorous heat on her face. She suddenly felt a little confused and couldn't even find her breathing rhythm.

"Really?"

His eyes seemed to have hooks as he looked straight at Yan Wan, his eyes were full of tenderness, slightly aggressive, dangerous and charming.

Yan Wan's breathing became disordered and her heart beat wildly because of his stare. She reached out to support her chest, withdrew her gaze a little panickily, and moved forward slightly.

"That...that's natural."

Seeing that she suddenly became shy, Jinzhong bent his waist deeper again, right in front of her, and his peach blossom eyes with a slight smile gradually became blurred.

"You pervert, I still have to sleep with you tonight..."

"I know, my lady, that's not what I meant."

Jinzhong smiled and pecked her lips gently, then said with a meaningful smile, "What I meant was that it was getting late and I had to go back to serve the Emperor. I didn't expect you to misunderstand me. Well, when I have time later, I will... serve you well."

He drew out the ending tone for a very long time, which had a somewhat ambiguous meaning and aroused people's imagination.
