I'm already dressed like a fool, what's wrong with taking the regent into the bridal chamb

Little Xiang Fei gradually calmed down. At this moment, she heard someone outside saying, "Your Majesty, the Emperor has sent someone with a lot of things. They are waiting outside the door."

Xiao Xiangfei snorted through her nose, then changed to a comfortable sitting position, "Let them in."

"Yes."

The maid went out to call for help, and soon a huge group came in, led by Eunuch Zhang from the Imperial Household Department.

Eunuch Zhang came in and saw that there was no place to stay, but he still had a bright smile on his face.

He was no longer surprised by such scenes.

This tribute concubine had an extremely bad temper. Relying on her mother's family and the emperor's favor, she would not let go of anyone she could punish.

If they can't deal with it, they will come back and smash things up to vent their anger.

"Your Majesty, the Emperor has ordered us to send you three pairs of new glass cups, three gilded ornaments, and three cakes of Rain-Predawn Longjing tea that have just arrived in the palace..."

Eunuch Zhang finished reading the gift list with a smile and stepped forward respectfully. "Your Majesty, please take stock. If there is nothing else, I will take my leave and report back."

Little Xiang Fei glanced at the things he brought and asked dissatisfiedly, "Why are they all odd numbers?"

In her native country, elixir was used for the dead. She had told the emperor about this before, and he had always remembered it.

Why did someone suddenly send these things with bad meanings tonight?

Did he want to tell himself that he couldn't keep the baby in his belly?

Eunuch Zhang smiled and said, "I don't know about this. It was the Emperor's order."

Eunuch Zhang has been in charge of the Imperial Household Department for many years and knows the preferences of all the concubines in the palace very well. How could he not know the customs of Concubine Xiaoxiang's hometown?

Even if you don't know, there is no reason to send an odd number.

Little Xiang Fei was also aware of this.

She looked at the "gift" in the palace servant's hand and couldn't help but sneer.

The corners of her mouth twisted into a smile, "Thank you, Your Majesty, for your kindness."

"Yun'er, send Eunuch Zhang and the others out."

"Yes."

Yun'er looked at her worriedly, then sent Eunuch Zhang out.

Before Eunuch Zhang left, Yun'er stepped forward and quietly stuffed a banknote into his hand, asking him about Wen Qingzhi's current situation.

Eunuch Zhang accepted the banknote and used only four words, "horrible" to describe Wen Qingzhi.

Yun'er's heart trembled, and she asked him how the emperor felt.

Eunuch Zhang said, "I have just received a beautiful and capable maid."

Yun'er was startled and forgot to take a step. She stumbled and almost fell.

Fortunately, Eunuch Zhang held her up. She smiled and thanked him, "Thank you, Eunuch."

When she tried to pull her hand back, Eunuch Zhang held it tightly and looked her up and down with ill intent, "Miss Yun'er has become even better."

Yun'er's expression changed in shock, and she immediately pulled her hand out with force.

She took a few steps back, putting some distance between herself and Eunuch Zhang, and said with a faint smile, "Thank you for the compliment, Eunuch. Yun'er still has to return to serve the Empress, so I won't see you off. Farewell, Eunuch."

After saying this, she left immediately without waiting for Eunuch Zhang to speak.

On the way back, Yun'er wiped her hands with a handkerchief for a long time.

Then he threw the handkerchief he had used to wipe his hands into the snow beside him, but still felt unsatisfied and kicked him twice.

"what!"

……

A separate courtyard next to Yangju Palace.

After feeding Wen Qingzhi dinner, Chang Yan sat beside her and watched her write.

Chang Yan replied in a low voice, discussing what to do next.

Wen Qingzhi meant that they were in the palace now. She was in this state and needed to rest for the time being, so she couldn't do anything.

Chang Yan was alone, and she was worried about falling into a trap again. So she stayed put for the time being and focused on recuperating.

In the following days, they always learned some things about Xiao Xiangfei from the maids. They knew without thinking that Feng Yunsu had someone tell them deliberately.

At first, Chang Yan wondered if something went wrong with Feng Junxiao and that’s why he didn’t send anyone to help.

It was not until half a month later that the wounds on Wen Qingzhi's face were almost healed, but there was still no news from Feng Junxiao.

On this day, Concubine Xiao Xiang sent someone to invite them for the fifth time.

"The two young ladies have lived here for quite some time, and my queen misses them terribly. The incident was purely accidental. My queen was not feeling well, so she did not go to meet Miss Wen."

Yun'er's words this time were the same as usual, just the same few sentences over and over again, and Wen Qingzhi was tired of listening to them.

"The imperial doctors in the palace are not as careful as you two girls. Even in such trivial matters as taking a pulse, they often make mistakes. My queen sincerely invites you two girls to return. This time, she also asked me to bring a lot of things with me as an apology to you two girls."

Wen Qingzhi glanced at the things Yun'er mentioned. They seemed precious. Perhaps they were things that Xiao Xiangfei didn't want or looked down upon, so she sent them to them.

For example, the gilded eight-treasure tourmaline hairpin has obvious scratches on the hairpin, which shows that it is often worn.

Look at that glass cup again?

A small piece fell off the edge, and if you didn't look carefully, you really couldn't knock it out.

Seeing these things, Wen Qingzhi sneered in her heart.

She said, "It's not that we two don't want to go. I'm sure the Queen has heard about what's happened recently."

She pretended to sigh and gently stroked her face with her hand. "The injuries on my face haven't healed yet. If I go to see Her Majesty in this state, I'm afraid it will scare Her Majesty."

"Your Majesty, this is a critical moment. If you are frightened by the wound on my face and the dragon fetus is in trouble... I'm afraid you will die."

"Originally, I entered the palace to help Her Majesty with her worries and difficulties. Now... isn't that just making things worse?"

Wen Qingzhi pretended to be worried, and her eyes were filled with concern when she spoke.

Seeing her like this, Yun'er took in her "fawning" look, and the corners of her mouth curled up a little.

"Miss Wen's worries are not without reason. In that case, I will go back and inform my queen. I will come back to pick her up after she recovers from her injuries."

Wen Qingzhi said "hmm" lightly and watched Yun'er leave.

After the people left, Chang Yan put down the melon seeds in her hand and said, "What on earth is this little Xiang Fei up to?"

"It's strange that the emperor only asked us to stay here but didn't send anyone to tell us what to do."

"There's nothing strange about it. Since nothing is wrong, we can just take good care of it."

During their time here, they are satisfied with their food, clothing and other necessities.

As for Xiao Xiangfei, it’s better not to go there.

So much time has passed, who knows what happened?

If they went over there at this moment and Concubine Xiang's pregnancy happened to be miscarrying, wouldn't they be unable to defend themselves?

Feng Yunsu will not keep the child in Xiao Xiangfei's belly, but Wen Qingzhi doesn't know what means Feng Yunsu will use to make the child disappear.

"Ugh!"

Wen Qingzhi was just thinking about it when Chang Yan suddenly sighed and said, "Actually, sometimes I just can't figure it out."

"what?"

"Even if Little Xiang Fei isn't from the Northern Sea, the child in her belly is the Emperor's after all. Why does the Emperor have to..."

She looked around and saw that no one was around. She whispered, "Why can't the emperor tolerate the child in Little Xiangfei's belly?"
