After exiting Imperial Concubine Mei's palace, Bing Lanyue felt a wave of pride. She knew that it wouldn't be long before her words reach Xuanyuan Jin's ears.
"Meng Xia, Nian Qiu, I really want to arrogantly smile for a while." Bing Lanyue could not help but laugh.
Meng Xia and Nian Qiu did not understand, but just as they were about to speak, they suddenly knelt and said: "This servant greets His Royal Highness King Yi."
Prince Yi? The smile on Bing Lanyue's face disappeared, and she opened her eyes that were squinting in happiness just now, looking carefully, if it was not Prince Yi, who else could it be?
Prince Yi was a lot more haggard than before. His originally elegant and graceful appearance was completely gone without a trace, and the clothes on his body were also completely wrinkled. Beside him was a beautiful woman.
With the blessings of the Prince Yi, Yun Yun had yet to be accounted for, and it was also possible that her identity as a concubine would temporarily allow her to feel safer. Yun Yun had a light smile on her face, but the look in her eyes was one of deep sorrow.
Xuanyuan Jin only wanted to use Yun Shang Shu's death to comfort the Wealthy Class, so she was not arrested or exiled, but continued to assume the title of Prince Yi's Concubine.
"Why is His Royal Highness King Yi free to come to the Imperial Palace today?" Bing Lanyue nodded slightly towards Yun Yun.
Yun Yun gracefully bowed, made a bow, and obediently stood beside Prince Yi, taking half a step back.
"Worthy Lady Bing." Prince Yi cupped his fists, his eyes staring at Bing Lanyue's stomach, his expression was extremely complicated.
Bing Lanyue suddenly felt that the sunlight was very glaring, to the point that tears were about to flow out.
"Yun'er, go see Talented Lady Yun first, I'll be there in a while." Prince Yi instructed Yun Yun, then turned and walked to the pavilion not far away.
Bing Lanyue knew that the Prince Yi had something to say, so she got Nian Qiu and Meng Xia to withdraw and stand under the forest, which was not far away.
"Worthy Lady Bing dotes on the people under her command." Prince Yi was shocked.
Bing Lanyue chuckled, glanced at the lotus leaves in the nearby lily pond and said: "Prince Yi, if you have anything you want to say, you can say it now. Otherwise, who knows who you will meet later."
The palace was very big, but the five Talented Lady s that had recently entered the palace, along with the one that had been deposed, were now all Talented Lady Yun.
The Prince Yi was silent for a moment, then said: "Did you instruct Jun Fei to train his troops in the Conferred Land?"
What? Jun Fei was training under the feudal fiefdom? Bing Lanyue's heart twitched slightly, but she maintained her smile without batting an eyelid: "His Royal Highness King Yi sure knows how to joke around, what does the military training provided by the Deputy Duke have to do with me?"
Prince Yi's eyes lit up, and his tired face was swept clean, replaced with an incomparably resolute expression.
"So what he does has nothing to do with you? Even if we were to rebel in the future, will you still not use the New Army to collude with him? " Prince Yi stared intently at Bing Lanyue's eyes.
Bing Lanyue laughed, avoiding the needle-like gaze, and laughed: "If Your Majesty did not remove the position of the Yun Family in the imperial court, I am afraid that the His Royal Highness King Yi would not have any hope of facing the south, of the world."
Prince Yi continued to stare into Bing Lanyue's eyes. After a long while, he started to laugh loudly, and said: "Your Majesty is truly wise and wise, this king is extremely impressed. This Worthy Lady Bing really knows how to joke around, saying something like 'Little Wang wants to rule over the world'. I, Little Wang, cannot afford to charge you with the crime of conspiring against me. "
Hm? Bing Lanyue looked at Prince Yi who was laughing out loud in astonishment, thinking, wasn't this child beaten up a little recently, and wasn't it just conspiring against him? What a big deal.
"His Royal Highness King Yi, do you think this lady doesn't know? Most of them have already changed their equipment, each of them has twenty Sky Tremor Bomb s, a set of serial crossbow s, and many of them even have plain sabers hanging from their waists. " When Bing Lanyue said till here, her lips raised into a smile, and she said: "Your Highness, if you didn't have any ulterior motives, why are you still bullshitting around with me?"
Prince Yi furrowed his brows and peeped to the left and right side of his body. He silently moved his lips and then got up to leave, "Worthy Lady Bing must have suffered heatstroke. You're talking nonsense. Little Wang will pay respects to the empress dowager."
After saying that, he cupped his hands together and left.
Bing Lanyue also stood up, staring straight at Prince Yi's back, because just now, his lips had clearly taken the shape of a Dragon-guarding Race.
Nobody knew what exactly they were doing, and no one knew either. After all, the Xuanyuan Imperial Family had been in operation for so many years, so perhaps only the royal family knew how strong the Dragon-guarding Race was. It was not unreasonable for the Prince Yi to be afraid of the Dragon-guarding Race like that.
"Do you wish to pay respects to the Empress Dowager? Okay, I'll go too. It has been such a long time since I've been to the Palace. " Bing Lanyue wiped off the cold sweat on her forehead, then called Nian Qiu and Meng Xia over, heading straight for the Ci Ning Palace.
Before Bing Lanyue even entered the palace, she heard the sounds coming from the palace and smelled the fragrance of sandalwood.
Meng Xia was a little sensitive to sandalwood. One hand held onto Bing Lanyue and the other hand couldn't help but cover her nose.
"Meng Xia, find a cooler place and wait. Nian Qiu will accompany me inside." Bing Lanyue instructed.
Meng Xia immediately replied: "Master, this servant is not …"
As soon as he finished speaking, he was stopped by Bing Lanyue and said, "I know, it's alright. Go on, there's nothing unsafe about your trip to Peace Palace.
"Yes." Meng Xia obeyed and left.
The two of them entered the palace, saw the empress dowager, and bowed together.
"Greetings to the empress dowager for her good fortune."
The empress dowager's buddhist beads stopped spinning and she said, "Get up. This old woman's luck isn't that great, why does it matter? This Worthy Lady's luck is fine."
Bing Lanyue swallowed her saliva as she lowered her head and said, "I don't dare, chenqie thanks the empress dowager for saving me last time."
The empress dowager let out a heavy sigh, rose, and with the support of two palace maids, walked out shakily to sit on a chair. She said, "Get up. We're people with bodies after all. Come, serve some snacks, then serve some sour plum soup from Ice Town to relieve the heat."
Before long, a few snacks and sour plum soup were placed in front of Bing Lanyue.
Pregnant people were tricky, and the court ladies at the empress's side knew their way. The snacks were either made of plum or decorated with raisins, and in short, they were sour and sweet.
"Drink it up. The sun is rising and the poison is rising, yet you've come to the Palace of Ci Ning. You haven't driven them away on your palanquin yet. I'm afraid you're not only here to thank this old woman?" The Empress Dowager had a kind face and narrowed his eyes.
Bing Lanyue was not polite either. As she ate her dessert and drank the sour plum soup, she finally said, "The empress dowager is wise. This concubine actually wants to ask, what does the empress dowager think of the Talented Lady Yun's punishments?"
had read too many novels in his previous life. In the novels, as long as one showed the slightest bit of mercy to the enemy, the enemy could very well turn around and retaliate.
His former concubine had now been demoted to the cold palace, and his younger sister was now an imperial concubine.
The empress dowager frowned slightly. "Spare us some more. His Majesty has already given the decree, what else do you want to do?"
Bing Lanyue wished that all of her Yun Family would die.
"Empress Dowager, I'm afraid even the empress dowager is very clear about the matter of the General Zhenwei Palace being exterminated. Should there be any punishment for having Yun Family at that time when it was as bright as the sun and the bones of the s that were stepped on?" Bing Lanyue was a little angry.
The empress dowager was slightly anxious as she hurriedly replied, "The prince in my stomach has always been afraid of such bloody words. Imperial Concubine Yun, Talented Lady Yun has already lost her power and will not have a chance to turn the tables anymore. Why must you try to force him? "
Bing Lanyue helplessly looked at the empress dowager, then nodded. "Yes, empress dowager, chenqie will listen to you. It's just that if Talented Lady Yun …"
"This Dowager will not tolerate her!" Her Majesty snatched the conversation.
Bing Lanyue nodded her head in satisfaction. Right at this moment, the palace maids came over to report, the Prince Yi and his wife had come to pay their respects.
"In that case, chenqie will take her leave." Bing Lanyue stood up and prepared to leave.
The empress dowager stopped him. "There's no rush. Perhaps your Prince Yi's visit today is related to you as well. There's no hurry."
Bing Lanyue's heart sank, thinking: Could it be that the empress dowager found out about my encounter with Prince Yi in the Imperial Garden? Otherwise, why would she say such words?
The Prince Yi and the Prince Yi Concubine arrived. After saluting, the two of them sat opposite Bing Lanyue and the empress dowager smiled. "What a coincidence, Lan Yue also came today to pay her respects.
"Of course not." The Prince Yi smiled as he cupped his hands, "Empress Dowager, I don't wish to participate in the matters of the previous dynasty anymore. I request the empress dowager's consent, and urge Your Majesty to allow me to return to my fief."
Earth Bestowal...
A trace of gloom flashed across the empress dowager's eyes. She smiled and said, "There's no hurry, there's no hurry. Prince Yi, just keep watch for the Emperor. As for the Kowloon Military And Horse Division, keep watch over them. This is also the emperor's intention."
When the Prince Yi heard the empress dowager's words, he couldn't help but reveal a difficult expression. "Empress Dowager, this …"
"Right now, This Dowager doesn't want to care about the previous dynasty, nor the harem. The Emperor is wise and wise, and This Dowager doesn't want to care about too many things, so you should be more busy. The incident with the voodoo Gu made This Dowager unable to keep up, and I'm afraid that This Dowager will have to force the Emperor to make a queen." When the empress dowager said this, she looked at Bing Lanyue meaningfully.
Prince Yi said in fear, "How could I dare... This is a matter between His Majesty and the empress dowager. "
"This is also a family matter. You are from the royal family, and your blood contains the blood of the Xuanyuan royal family." Her Majesty said so.
Prince Yi was still unwilling to let go, he directly said that he was not familiar with the various young mistresses, and did not know who was suitable for them.
The empress dowager didn't force him. She said a few other things in a neutral tone before letting everyone leave.
Exiting the Palace, Bing Lanyue asked: "You want to leave?"
However, this king can promise you anything this king promises, but I'm afraid that this king can do it. Right now, this king wants to stay here for a period of time longer, and at that time, as long as you give me a signal, this king will accomplish what I promised you before. "
Bing Lanyue glanced at Yun Yun, who was beside Prince Yi. Yun Yun was not moved in the slightest, as if his husband was talking about something that had nothing to do with him.
