"Concubine Yan has arrived!" The chamberlain's voice came from afar. At this time, Yi Shuimei and the others were already preparing to welcome the empress, who was favored by the emperor, in the Chenxiao Palace.
Yi Shuimei stood in the middle of the palace, with Ying Ran and Han Yue standing behind her. Yi Shuimei only changed into a simple and elegant white dress. There were only a few inconspicuous daffodils embroidered on the corner of the dress. The daffodils were about to bloom, just like Yi Shuimei standing in the hall.
Yi Shui Mei Xian looked at the lintel, waiting for this woman to appear.
She was here.
It was just a simple bun with a wooden hairpin inserted diagonally. They were the same. They had given up on the splendor of jewelry and exchanged it for elegance.
Concubine Yan kept her head down. After she entered, Yi Shuimei had not seen her face clearly. She had already led the two maids to kneel and salute,"I, Yan Jin, pay my respects to Consort Chen and Sister Yi Shuimei.”
Yi Shuimei smiled faintly and said,"Sister, please rise."”After all, Yi Shuimei still didn't know what kind of person Concubine Yan was. However, she was very happy to see that she was well-mannered. However, she didn't personally help her up. Instead, he straightened his sleeves.
Concubine Yan bowed again. She was very respectful. Then, she lifted the front part of her dress with some effort and slowly stood up. She smiled and slowly raised her head. At that moment, that face entered Yi Shuimei's eyes and made her tremble.
On the day Yi Shuimei entered the palace, the virtuous and virtuous concubines all came out to welcome her. Under their complicated makeup, Yi Shuimei could still see their original appearance. It could be said that they were not beautiful, but they were either too gorgeous or too shallow. They did not have the beauty of being washed away, or they were just generous given by time. However, Yan Jin was different.
It was not an exaggeration to say that Yan Jin's face was like a peach blossom. However, it was a little pale. Her eyes matched perfectly with her faint willow eyebrows, as if she was a face carefully carved by the heavens. Her eyes were filled with a light water color, but she seemed to want to say something. Naturally, it formed a charm…It was not the charm of the Red Dust Water of the Qin Pavilion.
Yi Shuimei suddenly felt her heart beating rapidly. She read,"Such a face…"
All along, Yi Shuimei was not only talented, but she was also proud of her looks. However, at this moment, she felt that this woman from the bottom of her heart.
At this time, Han Yue saw Yi Shuimei stunned and couldn't help but whisper,"Empress."
Yi Shuimei suddenly came back to her senses and felt that it was a little rude. She smiled and said,"Younger Sister, please sit down. Look at how I'm neglecting Younger Sister by taking care of your beauty.”As Yi Shuimei spoke, Ying Ran also walked over and bowed. She invited Yan Jin to sit on the chair and served him tea.
Yan Jin smiled and sat down. Yi Shuimei also returned to her seat.
Yi Shuimei started to think again, What does she mean by coming? What should I say?" Just like that, Yi Shuimei was stunned for a moment. At this moment, Yan Jin began to carefully look at Shui Mei's appearance.
Perhaps when women were together, they always liked to compare who was more elegant and superior.
Moreover, Yi Shui Mei is the host, Yan Jin is the guest. Shui Mei did not speak, and it was not appropriate for Yan Jin to speak first.
Thus, the huge hall, which should have been lively, was strangely quiet.
The maids were also dismissed, leaving only Han Yue, Ying Ran, and Yan Jin's two maids. They did not quite understand what they were doing.
Yan Jin's clothes were water red. She suddenly felt that in this extremely elegant hall, water red was still too beautiful in front of that innocence.
However, her appearance was already a little haggard. If she had chosen a white dress to match it, she would probably be so pale that the wind could blow her away. She could not be looked at anymore.
Yan Jin stared at Yi Shuimei's face. Her eyebrows and almond-shaped eyes seemed to be in a daze. There was also a hint of melancholy, like a fairy from the outside world staring at the mortal world. There was anticipation and confusion. Just like that, he looked on.
Yan Jin immediately felt that she had been staring at the world like this for several years. "That's right. She might not have my looks, but she's destined to have this kind of peerless elegance, otherworldly, and lofty.”
" Lost…" Yan Jin spat out two words indifferently.
At this moment, Yi Shuimei's meditative silence was broken by these two words.
Yi Shuimei asked in embarrassment,"Sister, what did you say?" Ying Ran and Han Yue didn't want to remind Yi Shuimei, they just smiled helplessly at each other.
Yan Jin closed his eyes and said indifferently,"I said…I lost?"
"What? Lost? What did you lose?" Yi Shuimei's question was really helpless. Even Ying Ran grumbled in her heart,"Shui Mei, what are you talking about…"
At this time, Han Yue also felt that he could not let Yi Shuimei continue to speak so brainlessly. She obviously did not think it through, so she smiled and said,"Concubine Yan, what little lord means is that there is no such thing as a winner or loser between us.”
At this time, Yi Shuimei was reminded by Han Yue and came back to her senses,""Sister, it really doesn't matter who wins or loses…"
Yan Jin smiled. Her smile was very relieved as she said with a smile,"Actually, I came here just to see what kind of woman sister is…"
"Oh? What reason do I have?”Yi Shuimei seemed to understand why Yan Jin was here, but she could not help but ask again.
" Because there has never been a woman who could make Your Majesty fall in love with her so much…" Yan Jin's voice was a little faint. It was unknown if it was sadness or disappointment.
" Bai Qu…" Yi Shuimei had just opened her mouth when she felt that it was inappropriate to say so, so she changed her words,"" Maybe His Majesty just fell in love with her wrongly…Sister, you…"
" Hehe, Sister, I've never taken it to heart. I know that His Majesty's feelings for me…can't be said to be love…"
Hearing this, the first to be stunned was actually Han Yue. Yi Shuimei didn't know what to say and also fell silent.
Yan Jin saw that Yi Shuimei was at a loss for words and gave her signature faint smile again, but it was full of charm.”
" Sister, why would you say such a thing…" Yi Shuimei was somewhat puzzled, but her intuition told her that although this woman called Yan Jin was very beautiful, she did not have the arrogance that beautiful women were born with. She did not have any ill intentions.
"Sister, do you love His Majesty?" Yan Jin looked around and saw that there was no one around. He actually asked this question. This sentence had nothing to do with Yi Shuimei's question from before.
"Sister, why do you say that?" Yi Shuimei was a little puzzled. She said to herself,"I think Sister Yan Jin loves Bai Qu very much.”She did not answer immediately, but when she saw Yan Jin turn his eyes and wait for her answer, she finally opened her mouth slowly and said," I don't love you…or rather, I don't…"
Yan Jin smiled again, but in Yi Shuimei's eyes, her smile was always so sad. She didn't know why.
" His Majesty is a very good person. Sister should cherish him…" Yan Jin only said this lightly. Then, when Yi Shuimei still wanted to say something, he stood up gracefully and bowed."Big sister, little sister will take her leave."
" Sister…" Yi Shuimei called out, but no one knew what she was saying.
"Sister, you can call me Yan 'er in the future. I'll call you Shui Mei, okay?"”
Yi Shuimei felt that there was a power in her eyes and words that she could not resist.
"Yan 'er, take care…" Yi Shuimei nodded.
"I will come again." Yan Jin only said this sentence before he slowly walked out of the Divine Wind Palace. Yi Shuimei watched Yan Jin's red figure disappear bit by bit. It was as if a red lotus was slowly drifting away in the sky.
After Yan Jin left with the two maids.
"Empress, what kind of person do you think Her Highness Yan Fei is?" Han Yue asked in a low voice.”
" Its quality is dustless…" Yi Shuimei only said these four words.
Ying Ran nodded, but Han Yue said a little worriedly," Your Highness, you must be careful. I don't think there's another person like Her Highness Concubine Yan in the Inner Palace…If the Fourth Concubine and the others come…they must have ulterior motives. Also, you can't say things like that just now…"
Can't say anything easily? Do you love His Majesty?
On that day, after Yan Jin left, she did not even do what she was most willing to do. It was said that there was not a single sound of sheng and xiao in Mo Yun Palace where Concubine Yan was that night, and His Majesty did not go to any consorts that day.
Various rumors began to spread in the harem. It was said that Consort Xian's Yanxi Palace had spread rumors that Consort Chen must be extremely seductive and used her beauty to serve the Emperor, which was why the Emperor had even neglected Consort Yan. Consort Liang's Yanqing Palace had another excuse, saying that for some unknown reason, the Emperor had suffered a serious injury that caused the Emperor to be like this. These words naturally had a specific intention. And what did Consort Shu say in the Palace of Prolonging Life? She couldn't speak nonsense. If she was angry with Tian Yan, it wouldn't be easy. Consort De's Yanlu Palace was strangely quiet. It seemed that there was nothing to say, but it also seemed to be involved in this undercurrent.
Within a day, the news that Concubine Yan did not play the zither at night had spread throughout the entire palace. It was said that the reason was that Concubine Yan had gone to see Concubine Chen.
