Su Jin said curiously," What is it? Speak." "Just now, that Ji Xuanshi wanted to go in and pay respects to the Empress Dowager. He was stopped by Aunt Ying Xiu of the Changle Palace, saying that concubines below the seventh rank are not allowed to pay respects." Lin Nian Zhen and Su Jin couldn' t help but laugh. In this way, they hadn' t seen Ji Youlan figure in Changle Palace. "Sister Lin, Ji Xuanshi' ve wasted a lot of effort. I guess I' ve spent a lot of effort in dressing up." Lin Nian Zhen heard the ridicule in Su Jin words and smiled." No, right now, she's probably going back to the palace to hide." The two of them smiled at each other. When she returned to Wen Mei Xuan, she Su Jin rubbed her shoulders. There were too many etiquette in the imperial palace. Every time she went to see anyone, she would be exhausted. Just as he was about to rest for a while, someone from the House of Internal Affairs came outside, saying that they were here to send a palace maid, afraid that there were not enough people here. Lian Chun was rather happy," Little Lord, you are currently being favored. The people of the House of Internal Affairs will do things and send you a palace maid." Su Jin frowned. Wasn' t the number of palace maids all based on rank? The sudden arrival of a palace maid made people think too much. "Let her in." Lian Chunxing responded, and soon, he brought someone in. This person was Zhang Qailing, but he had changed his name to Yunhuan. "This servant greets Su Meiren." Yunhuan knelt on the ground, looking quite honest. "Get up. Since the House of Internal Affairs sent you over, I won' t chase you away. I' ll do whatever I need to do. Just listen to Lian Chun's instructions. If there's nothing else, go out." Su Jin took a sip of tea and said slowly. Even if this person was someone else's spy, she still couldn' t choose to refuse. At most, she would be guarding against her. Yunhuan got up and left when she heard the order. Lian Chun turned to look at Su Jin. "Little Lord, do you not like this girl?" Su Jin shook his head." That's not true. It's just that I don' t know if it's one of our own people. Just keep an eye on her and arrange some unimportant tasks for her." Lian Chun nodded. It just so happened that it was lunchtime, so she hurriedly gave Su Jin cloth dishes. After eating lunch, Su Jin rubbed his bulging belly and laid down to sleep. At this moment, the Changle Palace was quiet. The empress dowager was lying on the bed. Ying Xiu was pinching her shoulders, pinching them. The empress dowager sighed and asked curiously. "That Su Meiren looks very similar to the woman Emperor's son liked before. "This widow is afraid. He's trapped again." Ying Xiu consoled," Empress Dowager, don' t worry too much. The Emperor has been much more stable since he ascended the throne. The current situation in the Imperial Court is stable, and it is no longer like the situation back then." The empress dowager comforted her a lot. Ying Xiu was right. This time, it was different from the past. If Chen Di really liked this Su Meiren, there was no harm in it. "It's just that this widow has always been harboring thoughts. Emperor's son have not had any children in the past few years, shouldn' t it be because of that matter back then that caused him to feel sick?" Thinking of that, the empress dowager felt a chill in her heart. Even though the current Chen Di would come every day to pay their respects, and it seemed that the relationship between mother and son was quite deep, Chen Di had always been estranged from her over the years. It seemed that the knot in her heart had yet to be broken. "Empress Dowager, you did it for the sake of the country. His Majesty is already this big. He understands the logic." The empress dowager thought to herself, he knew everything, but he was different from her. The autumn wind was coming, and the weather was getting colder. It was unknown how many winters she could endure. Today, a guest, Jade Princess, came to the An Pin of the Ming Gan Palace East Hall. "Why did the Imperial Concubine have the time to come here?" An Pin ordered the servants to quickly prepare the tea. She was really quiet here. Normally, few people came to visit her, so she didn' t have the habit of preparing the tea at any time. "Sister An has always liked light tea leaves for so many years." Jade Princess stretched out a pair of fair hands and picked up the teacup to savor it. An Pin smiled," I don' t know if it doesn' t suit Imperial Concubine's taste?" Jade Princess nodded in satisfaction," Sister An, I didn' t say that you really plan to spend your entire life in the palace like this?" An Pin tea-tipping hand stopped, put down the teapot, and sat down. "Imperial concubine, this concubine only wishes for stability and nothing else. Now that there are a few new people in the palace, I think you are busy." Jade Princess heard the courtesy in An Pin words, she was a little anxious." Don' t you know who Su Meiren look like?" An Pin was stunned for a moment before smiling again. However, this smile was exceptionally cold," This minister knows." "Do you know that you can still hold back your anger?" Jade Princess tone became even more impatient, unlike her usual tone. An Pin was still very calm. He looked into Jade Princess eyes," It's just that you look similar. What is Noble Consort afraid of?" Jade Princess hurriedly withdrew his gaze and said in a panic," This one has never been afraid. However, no one in the harem has children. If anyone is the first to be pregnant, who knows how much their position will be promoted." An Pin sighed." All of this has its own number. It's not something we can decide. Not to mention, did the noble imperial concubine not know why none of the concubines in the harem were pregnant? "Who else would dare to do that?" An Pin words made Jade Princess heart feel cold. It was as if a stone was pressing down on her heart. She had never been willing to admit her guess, but because there was still a trace of thought left in her mind, now that she had been exposed by An Pin, she had stopped. If it was that person, no matter how much they fought for favor, they wouldn' t be pregnant. The Empress Dowager was afraid that she had already guessed a bit, but this matter was too absurd. "I still have something to do. I' ll go back first." Jade Princess left An Pin East Hall in a daze. ###Chapter10 The Jade Princess that had returned from the An Pin had fallen ill the next day. Palace news spread throughout the world, saying that the jade body was in bad condition. In the past few days, it would not be necessary to pay respects. When Su Jin heard this news, she felt that it was strange. When she saw Jade Princess yesterday, her complexion was rosy, and it actually didn' t seem like there was anything wrong with it. Today, she suddenly became sick, and when she thought about it carefully, she felt even more wrong. The Jade Princess of Changle Palace was gone, so the empress dowager was naturally the first to ask. Even though Jade Princess hadn' t come, he had also sent a first-class palace maid Jin Xiang explain. The Empress Dowager didn' t blame him, only saying that she would take good care of him. "I don' t know what kind of symptoms Big Sister Yu is. Why is it so bad for a person who was fine yesterday?" Consort Shu held a handkerchief in her hand, as if she was wiping away tears. The empress dowager sighed," I think the recent draft is too busy. Let her take a good rest." When Chen Di came in, he saw the empress dowager's worried expression and asked a few questions. Only then did he know that Jade Princess wasn' t feeling well. He pondered for a moment before saying," Mother, don' t worry. I' ll visit Yu' er later." When all the imperial concubines saw this, they also understood Jade Princess position in Chen Di heart. Only Jade Princess had the honor of being able to let emperor see him. As expected, after leaving the Chang Le Palace, Chen Di took great strides to the Dry Ming Palace. The other imperial concubines could only return to their respective palaces unwillingly. Su Jin walked with Lin Nian Zhen without much restraint. The two of them spoke a little closer. When Jade Princess heard that Chen Di was about to come, he dragged his sick body up and stood at the door for a long time. When he arrived, his pale little face revealed a smile. "This concubine greets the emperor." Chen Di hurriedly helped her up and led her to the inner room. Then, she put on her cloak, her movements gentle. "Since Yu' er is not feeling well, there is no need to guard the door. Even though it hasn' t entered winter, there is still a bit of cold air in this autumn. Be careful." As Chen Di spoke, deep emotion flashed in his eyes. Jade Princess looked over, he was stunned. "Your Majesty, Yu' er is just a bit tired, but she's fine. She's disturbing your Majesty. This concubine is guilty." Chen Di laughed and said," There's nothing wrong with it. If it wasn' t for the fact that you were asked by the empress dowager this morning, I really wouldn' t have known that your information is very tight. Imperial Physician No, Yu Zhengde, hurry and get Shen Imperial Physician to come!" Jade Princess was only acting coquettishly. At this moment, Chen Di attitude made her feel much better. The gloominess that she had chatted with An Pin yesterday seemed to have dissipated. "Your Majesty, don' t bother Eunuch Yu anymore. I' ve already invited Imperial Physician to see him yesterday. He said that his body is cold and that he needs to rest for a few days to recuperate. Naturally, that's enough. There's no need to worry too much." As soon as he said this, Chen Di no longer held on. He sat next to Jade Princess and reached out his hand to stroke her temples. Then, he looked at her brows and his heart skipped a beat. "Today, I will accompany you for a meal. Yu Zhengde, tell the imperial kitchen to add a few more dishes." Yu Zhengde replied. Jade Princess smiled like a peach blossom as he unconsciously rushed forward. His arms wrapped around Chen Di back, feeling extremely relaxed. Back then, Father had said that the Emperor was ruthless. In her eyes, he seemed to have been blown away by the wind. This Men was her only trust. Among the three thousand beauties in the harem, she was already satisfied to have a portion of his love. Thinking about what had happened yesterday, he was unable to distinguish it clearly. Regardless of whether it was An Pin or her, it was because of a word of love. She was still better than An Pin. She didn' t need to guard a palace, but she was like a cold palace. He was truly unwilling because of the slightest bit of doting. This meal was the most comfortable one to eat Jade Princess many days. Without his usual guess, he was like an ordinary couple dining together.
