OBS Chapter 274 Jealousy
Chapter 274 Jealousy
When I came out of Zhongcui Palace, I happened to meet Ruyi. The rain had stopped at this time. On the half-dry palace road, Yanwan was followed by half a set of imperial carriages.
"I pay my respects to the Empress. The Emperor has summoned me to discuss important matters, so I will not be accompanying you."
Yan Wan bent her knees slightly, exchanged greetings briefly, and then found an excuse to leave.
Ruyi was only supported by an old nanny, which made her look a little miserable.
Ruyi looked at Yanwan's graceful back as she leaned against the chair, and a rare feeling of...jealousy arose in her heart.
These should all have been hers.
The ceremonial carriage was originally something only the queen had, but now the two of them have switched.
At this point, Ruyi finally understood the feelings of Empress Fucha, who always accused her of meddling in other people's affairs.
This is how it feels to see something that originally belonged to you being taken away by someone else.
"Empress, let's go back to the palace. The Emperor won't let you wander around."
The old lady beside him said cautiously.
She was in charge of presiding over the funeral ceremony, but she was just a figurehead and had no real power. All matters concerning the funeral were arranged by the Ministry of Internal Affairs and then sent to the Yongshou Palace for review.
This is how it is in the palace. People are cold-hearted. Even the position of imperial concubine is just a passing cloud. After a while of busying around, everyone forgets that there was such a person in the palace.
Ruyi nodded and left with the help of the old nanny.
She knelt in the Buddhist temple every day, chanting scriptures and praying for blessings, but over time, her knees did not get better.
Although the emperor knew that Concubine Chun was in trouble, his guilt did not diminish in the slightest.
Instead, he started blaming her in front of Yan Wan.
"Noble Concubine Chun is really confused now. After such a commotion, I'm afraid the concubines in the palace will exclude Xiang Jian even more... Noble Concubine Ling, how is Noble Concubine Chun now?"
As the emperor was speaking, he glanced at Yan Wan, who had a look of disapproval on her face. A hint of guilt appeared on his face, and he pretended to care about Concubine Chun again.
"Your Majesty, I'm afraid Concubine Chun's condition isn't very good. In my opinion, why don't you go and see her? After all, Concubine Chun has been serving you since you were in the Qian Mansion. Now she is on her deathbed, so you must go and see her off..."
A thousand words are not as good as meeting someone in person.
If Concubine Chun was not seriously ill, the emperor would probably punish Yong Zhang more severely.
The emperor frowned when he heard this, looking quite reluctant.
He and Concubine Chun no longer had any so-called affection for each other. Even though the truth of what happened back then came to light, he never felt guilty about what happened back then.
What's more, Yong Zhang and those ministers have started to interfere in my affairs.
If Concubine Chun had not acted like this, he would really want to follow the example of his father and adopt the third prince Yongzhang to the royal family so that he would not be an eyesore in front of him.
The twelfth prince also followed him.
So as to avoid being as annoying as his mother.
Among his several princes, the fifth prince was the most to his liking, and the rest were just average.
"Your Majesty, you must go. After all, everything started when Princess Xiangjian entered the palace. If you don't go, won't the world say you are cold-hearted? For a woman of a foreign race, you even ignored the concubines who have been with you since you were in the palace?"
Yan Wan spoke softly, gradually losing her patience with the emperor.
As he grew older and more confused, I became more and more disgusted with him over the years.
Her words were effective, and the emperor's frown gradually relaxed.
"Forget it. I'll go take a look tomorrow. Before Empress Fucha left, she hoped I would confer the title of Imperial Noble Consort upon her... I'll immediately draft an imperial edict to confer the title of Imperial Noble Consort upon her..."
It also allows him to leave with peace of mind.
