"Yes." Mu Xiyan turned to Ye Mingjin and found a comfortable position. Looking at his perfect side profile, she blinked her charming eyes and said softly,""Yulan represents true love."
Ye Mingjin closed his eyes and didn't say anything. He didn't show any expression. No one knew what he was thinking.
The next day, Mu Xiyan opened her eyes and yawned. She looked around and saw that it was the Zhenhe Palace. Mu Xiyan was a little disappointed that Ye Mingjin was not there. Xiaolan also moved her things to the Qingshui Pavilion. She no longer looked at Mu Xiyan submissively. Instead, she looked straight at her, and she even looked a little proud, as if she had become a master.
In the blink of an eye, a month had passed. During this period of time, Situ Chenyan had been doting on Xia Chengyue and Roupin. A few days ago, Jin Xia had promised to be Chang Zai and give him a title. He had never been to Zhen He Palace once, and it had become a cold palace. The Emperor seemed to have forgotten Mu Xiyan, and Mu Xiyan was happy. It was better not to come, so she didn't have to find excuses all day. Rou Pin stopped bothering Mu Xiyan and turned to Zhuang Changzai.
The Emperor was about to endow the six palaces and even the empress. Shangguan Zining was busy looking for the Prime Minister's father to work hard for the throne. Zhuang Changzai knew his identity and wasn't as ambitious as Rou Concubine, but he still yearned for the Consort position.
At this moment, Mu Xiyan was sitting at the table and eating lunch with relish. Xiaoling had become Mu Xiyan's personal palace maid and was fanning Mu Xiyan. The new palace maid, Qing 'er, was serving dishes for Mu Xiyan.
"After dinner, pay your respects to the Empress Dowager!”Mu Xiyan said to Xiaoling.
"Yes, Empress." Xiaoling slowly fanned herself. Perhaps it was because she had been with Mu Xiyan for a long time, but her personality had also become quiet and steady. She had become more open-minded about Xiao Lan being Zhuang Changzai.
After lunch, Mu Xiyan took Xiaoling to the Empress Dowager's Shouning Palace. On the way, they met Xiaolan and Zhuang Changzai, who were dressed up gorgeously, concealing their original servant-like appearance.
"Zhen Fei niangniang is in a good mood, it's rare for you to leave Zhen He Palace and come to this imperial garden.”Xia Lan blocked Mu Xiyan's path and said with a smile, followed by a large group of palace maids and eunuchs.
Looking at Xia Lan's expression, Mu Xiyan couldn't help but roll her eyes at her. Tsk! I've really misjudged you. I've given you too much credit! It was just a small Chang Zai. Was there a need to be so proud?
Ignoring Zhuang Changzai's words, Mu Xiyan walked forward and pushed Xia Lan, who was blocking her way, to the ground.
"Master, are you alright?" The palace maid beside Xia Lan was scared to death when she saw this. She hurriedly helped Xia Lan up from the ground.
"Ouch!" Xia Lan fell to the ground and immediately said gently,""What did ChenQie do wrong to deserve such punishment from the Empress?”
"What's going on?" Situ Chenyan had just walked into the imperial garden when he saw this scene. He immediately frowned and asked.
"Emperor, ChenQie met niangniang Zhen Fei in the imperial garden and somehow offended niangniang. It's ChenQie's fault, please don't blame niangniang!”Xia Lan immediately knelt beside Situ Chengyan.
What? Mu Xiyan rubbed her ears. Did she hear wrongly? It was obvious that it was her fault!
Xia Lan did not give Mu Xiyan a chance to speak and continued,""ChenQie knows that her status is low and it is already ChenQie's fortune to be able to serve her. Today, ChenQie was reckless and offended Lady Zhen Fei. It is ChenQie's fault, please punish the emperor!”After saying that, she even wiped her tears with her sleeve.
Situ Chengyan frowned and looked at Mu Xiyan after hearing Xia Lan's words. Mu Xiyan looked impatient and asked,""Consort Zhen, what do you think?"
"The truth is that she offended me and I bumped into her. It's that simple.”Mu Xiyan pondered for a moment and answered truthfully.
"Zhen Fei niangniang, today is ChenQie's fault. Zhen Fei niangniang temporarily took charge of the six palaces, punishing ChenQie is right, but emperor, ChenQie originally didn't want to tell emperor that ChenQie was already a month pregnant, but ChenQie was very afraid, afraid that ChenQie would be punished for a moment of negligence and make a mistake, causing this child to be unable to be born! Your Majesty!" Xia Lan cried tearfully. Every word was reasonable and heart-wrenching. Hearing this, Mu Xiyan felt that it was her fault.
"What is it? His beloved consort was pregnant? Get up!" When Situ Chengyan heard Mu Xiyan's disdainful tone and Zhuang Changzai saying that he was pregnant, he immediately vented his anger on Mu Xiyan. He helped Zhuang Changzai, who was crying in a sorry state, up.
"Pa!" Situ Chengyan hugged Zhuang Changzai and slapped Mu Xiyan's face.
Mu Xiyan was stunned by the sudden slap.
"Why didn't you tell me that your beloved consort is pregnant? Pass down my decree, immediately Jin Zhuang Chang is a noble. From now on, my beloved concubine does not have to bow to anyone except the Empress Dowager. Everything is important to the emperor's heir!”Situ Chengyan said happily. Then, he looked at Mu Xiyan, who was covering her face in a daze, and said,""Concubine Zhen accidentally injured the heir and was demoted to a concubine.”
Then, Situ Chengyan ignored Mu Xiyan and led a large group of servants to help Zhuang Pin leave.
"Niangniang, are you alright? The emperor has already left." Xiaoling quickly supported Mu Xiyan and answered.
Only then did Mu Xiyan realize that Situ Chengyan had hit her?
"Niangniang, Niangniang, why don't we return to the palace?”Xiaoling said sadly when she saw Mu Xiyan's dazed look.
"No, let's go to the Shouning Palace to pay our respects to the Empress Dowager.”Mu Xiyan said calmly. Then, she walked toward the Shouning Palace without Xiao Ling's help.
"ChenQie pays her respects to Empress Dowager." Mu Xiyan bowed and said.
"Get up, come to this widow's side." The Empress Dowager waved at Mu Xiyan and said," I've heard that Noble Zhuang is pregnant, and you happen to be by her side. The Emperor will inevitably vent his anger on you. She's just a palace maid. It's already a great grace for the Emperor to agree to her appointment. Even if she's pregnant, I will never let this child become the Crown Prince!" Just remember, don't blame the Emperor.”The Empress Dowager warned worriedly.
"ChenQie wouldn't dare." Mu Xiyan lowered her eyes and answered. Situ Chengyan's slap was the end of his hesitation.
During her time in the Shouning Palace, the Empress Dowager had been comforting Mu Xiyan, but Mu Xiyan did not care. She hastily found an excuse and went back to the Zhenhe Palace.
At night, the Qingshui Pavilion was brightly lit. In order to celebrate Noble Zhuang's pregnancy, Situ Chengyan had specially arranged a song and dance to make the beauty smile and comfort Xia Lan. He had been emphasizing that Mu Xiyan had offended his pregnancy today.
However, it was pitch black inside Zhenhe Palace. Mu Xiyan turned off the lights early and went to sleep without having dinner. In fact, Mu Xiyan was not sleepy at all. She was just very depressed and could not vent her feelings. She could only endure it and take a nap facing the wall.
The door opened with a squeak. Mu Xiyan did not turn around and ordered,""Xiao Ling, you may leave. BenGong is a little tired today and will rest first.”
