Who is the white moonlight these days? We are just following the plot

"She is the eldest daughter of the Grand Tutor's Mansion in the capital—Wen Yuan."

As soon as the words were spoken, the hall fell silent.

Those who were drinking, eating, and joking all fell silent.

"Wen Yuan?"

The people in the hall suddenly stopped smiling, and their voices became a little colder than before.

"Yes, the young lady's name is Wen Yuan. Your Majesty, I hope to meet her in person."

"..."

Eunuch Zhou was on edge, and he asked in a high voice, "Does Minister Xu know who Wen Yuan is?"

Xu Jinyi was completely baffled by this question. He said doubtfully, "Miss Wen is the eldest daughter of the Grand Tutor's Mansion. I have already told you this before."

Eunuch Zhou quietly raised his eyes to check Li Zhao's expression, and his originally shrill voice became unusually low: "Wen Yuan is the current Imperial Concubine."

Xu Jinyi was stunned for a long moment, and before Zhou Gonggong could speak, he suddenly smiled: "So Miss Wen is in the palace. Your Majesty, may I see the Imperial Concubine?"

Li Zhao's eyebrows twitched, and he looked at Xu Jinyi with a scrutiny that he had never had before.

Xu Jinyi!

Wen Yuan had been married to him for many years, but he had never heard of this story.

In the story, a kind-hearted noble lady rescued a woman who was sick with an epidemic many years ago. The woman's son grew up to become the top scholar in the imperial examination.

The top scholar did not seek fame or money, but only wanted to see his benefactor again.

If this material were given to a eloquent storyteller, he could create a dozen different versions of the love story between a foolish man and a resentful woman.

Li Zhao suddenly regretted it. For some reason, he didn't want the two to meet.

Wen Yuan belongs to him, Li Zhao, and he does not allow such a person to exist in Wen Yuan's life.

No matter what Xu Jinyi's intentions were, Li Zhao was unwilling.

However, the emperor's words are golden and he cannot go back on his word.

Li Zhao was silent for a while, and finally agreed that after the Qionglin Banquet, he would let the imperial concubine meet Xu Jinyi in Suhe Hall.

"Thank you, Your Majesty." Xu Jinyi quickly thanked the Lord for his grace, and the smile on his face could not be hidden.

When Eunuch Zhou went to Yonghe Palace to deliver a message and learned that the new top scholar Xu Jinyi wanted to see him, Wen Yuan was watching the koi fighting in the pond.

A group of bighead carps huddled together to grab food, which was quite funny.

"Xu Jinyi?" Wen Yuan lazily withdrew her gaze from the pool. She recalled it casually, but did not remember the name.

Eunuch Zhou carefully observed Wen Yuan's expression. Seeing that she seemed to have no impression of Xu Jinyi, he continued, "Minister Xu said that the Empress once said: Palace Jade Wine, one hundred and eighty yuan a cup. When he becomes rich, don't forget to treat you to a drink."

!!!

"What? Say it again?" Wen Yuan's expression changed drastically. She forgot that she was pregnant and stood up suddenly.

"Oh, your Majesty, please slow down." Eunuch Zhou was startled.

"No, Eunuch Zhou, please say what you just said again!" Wen Yuan stared at Eunuch Zhou closely, not wanting to miss a single detail.

"Minister Su said, 'Palace Jade Wine,' 180 per cup..."

Wen Yuan could no longer hear the rest of the words. Her mind was so confused that she felt dizzy as if she was walking on cotton.

"Your Majesty? Your Majesty?" Eunuch Zhou couldn't help but feel a little panicked when he saw that she looked strange.

"Hmm..." Wen Yuan came back to his senses and said urgently, "Take me to see him quickly."

"Your Majesty, please be patient. Minister Xu is currently attending the Qionglin Banquet. The Emperor said that after the banquet, he would like you to meet in the Suhe Hall."

Eunuch Zhou was sent to deliver the message, but in fact he was here to test Wen Yuan's opinion.

If she had shown no interest in Xu Jinyi, this meeting would not have happened.

If Wen Yuan wants to see Xu Jinyi, he must do it under Li Zhao's nose.

Of course, Li Zhao prefers the first one.

Li Zhao felt very unhappy about the fact that his beloved concubine was being thought of by another man. His unreasonable anger made him want to smash the Qionglin Banquet.

Eunuch Zhou still felt a lingering fear when he recalled the emperor's gloomy face.

The emperor's joy and anger went from being on edge for only a moment, and Eunuch Zhou's mood also went up and down like a roller coaster, breaking his old heart into pieces.

While waiting in Yonghe Palace, Wen Yuan felt that each day was like a year.
