"Sister! What are you standing there for? This is a joyous occasion. Quickly prepare fireflies for me! " Chen Yuerong was extremely anxious as she rummaged through the clothes in the wardrobe while speaking to her.
"Oh, oh, I know. Sister, don't worry, it's just a little firefly. I'll go prepare it right away. I promise I'll get a big bag for you in half an hour!" With that, Nian Yun Chen took a large bag and ran outside.
The fireflies liked to live in damp, watery, overgrown places, especially on both sides of streams and rivers. While wandering around these past few nights, Nian Yunzhen had found the palace's drainage canals and culverts, which were used in the palace's drainage system when it was raining heavily.
The drainage system in Dongze Country was very mature. There were also a few small triangular parks in the vicinity, connecting the palace and the long corridor. The scenery here was actually quite good.
After all, this place was quiet, and although there was a beautiful scenery, it was rather single, so it wasn't suitable for admiring flowers or drinking tea. The empress and the emperor all liked to go to the imperial garden to do elegant things, so they definitely wouldn't choose such a place to meet.
Nian Yun could be at ease with his cultivation. After going in and out a few times, he found that there was a small park beside the open canal where there were large amounts of fireflies. That was why he thought of dancing in Chen Yuerong's firefly house.
The canal was quite far away from the palace. It took Nian Yun a quarter of an hour to get here. He quickly caught some fireflies and made his body dirty. He was covered in sweat as he ran back to where he came from.
"Sister, sister! The fireflies are here!"
"My good little sister, I was just waiting for you. I almost missed the timing. Right now, I'm busy heading towards the Phoenix Bridge. Come back, I'll give you my proper thanks!" Chen Yuerong was abnormally excited as she smiled while holding Cloud's deep face.
After he had finished talking, he didn't hesitate for a moment and rushed outside.
On the way, she was afraid that she would delay elder sister Yuerong's time, so she didn't even have time to breathe properly. At this moment, she sat at the table and poured herself a cup of cold tea.
After instructing the palace maid to bathe and change her clothes, she wanted to rest early. Today, she had met with so many troubles and now that she had run over, she was extremely tired.
He fell asleep early and dreamless the entire night.
Early the next morning, before the deep cloud even opened its eyes, a babbling sound came from outside.
A large group of people seemed to be happily discussing something.
She frowned. What are you arguing about so early in the morning? He covered his ears with the blanket and continued to sleep.
On the other hand, the sound outside became clearer and clearer.
"You're saying that the Empress is really lucky? She hasn't even been in the palace for a month and she's already bestowed the title of imperial concubine!" This is a supreme honor, just a step away from the empress! "
"Isn't it? When I came to wait upon Lady Yuerong, I could tell with a glance that she was not an ordinary person. She will definitely do a great deal in the future! Wasn't this the same as last night's flurry of fireflies' dancing? It instantly captured the emperor's heart! It was awarded in one night! "
"Sister, I'm different from you. When I came here, I was a bit depressed; I was serving in Shang Gong before, but I didn't expect to be suddenly transferred to a dancer's palace. I was still unconvinced, I didn't expect that in less than a month, I would be promoted to imperial concubine's palace maid!"
"Ai, elder sister, you can't speak carelessly. The word 'dancers' is absolutely outrageous. The current Miss Yuerong is a haughty imperial concubine. We have to consider some things before we say them!"
"En, little sister, you're right. Imperial Concubine Chen is not bad to us. When the imperial decree arrived this morning, she immediately rewarded us palace maids and eunuchs with silver coins!" I wonder if we can reward them with this ceremony? "
"Haha, no matter what, we'll just wait on you peacefully from now on!"
"I also have another question. That Lady Yun Sheng who entered the palace with our Empress looks no worse than Imperial Concubine Chen. Why is it that the emperor doesn't care about her?" Do you think that we can produce yet another Empress in our palace? "
"My dear sister, you can't say any more! Right now, Imperial Concubine Chen was also a woman of the emperor, and all women were jealous. This was not a title, but it all depended on the emperor's intentions. In front of a man, the friendship between women wasn't worth mentioning, so how could the imperial concubine be willing to share a man with her sister? This relationship is subtle, we must be cautious! If you don't want to say what you shouldn't say, don't say what you shouldn't say! "
"Yes, yes, yes. Elder sister is right."
A large number of palace maids chattered throughout the morning, so much so that Nian Yun could not keep his eyes closed. He decided that he might as well not sleep and shook his shoulders. The clouds are deep ah, the clouds are deep, quickly get up and train! "
With that, Nian Yun Chen got up in a hurry, tidied himself up, and prepared to leave.
As soon as he stepped out of the door, the palace maids started pointing at him. This relationship was really … What's the subtlety of it?
He didn't know why, but when he came here, he clearly hoped that elder sister Yuerong could find his happiness and be with the emperor's beloved concubine. But now that elder sister Yuerong had become his imperial concubine, this was much better than the concubine she had expected.
Feng Hailin had just crippled his empress yesterday, so he definitely already knew about the corpse of the Cold Palace this morning. Not only did he not care, but he had watched his elder sister dance last night and even ignored the empress's death as he sealed Yuerong's imperial concubine?
To use the word "cold-blooded" to describe it was not excessive at all?
I wonder if he is sincere to his sister? Just for fun? Or maybe he didn't even have a heart.
After going out for a walk, Yuerong held her hand and thanked her for lunch. In the end, she added, "Sister, the emperor still wants to see my performance tonight. Can you get me some fireflies?"
With such a blissful expression, it was impossible for Nian Yun to refuse.
Ever since elder sister Yuerong had the emperor, she had been negligent towards her … In the past, the two of them could often chat about this and that. But now, they felt that this palace belonged to her. After being conferred the title of Imperial Concubine, elder sister Yuerong would probably move out as well, right?
The joy he felt when he first arrived had completely disappeared, and what replaced it was a faint loneliness.
"Alright!" No problem, just leave Sister Yuerong on me! " She winked at Chen Yuerong and patted her chest as she spoke.
Later on, she had gone out early to help Chen Yuerong prepare fireflies. Those fireflies had complied with her instructions while they were dancing, and at night, they would fly to their original location after a stroll around. Therefore, if Chen Yuerong performed every night, then she would come and capture them during the night.
