When Ji Jinyou heard that Noble Lady Yue and Noble Lady Fang were coming, she immediately poked her head out to look at the door curiously: [System, what are the two Ladies doing here? ]
The Empress and Emperor Wen Zhao were also curious and listened quietly.
The system looked through it carefully for a long time: [I don’t know, it’s not in today’s plot. ]
[Strange, this is something that is not in the plot.] Ji Jinyou was confused, [A while ago, everything went according to the plot, but what happened suddenly these past two days?]
System: [I don’t know.]
Ji Jinyou sighed helplessly: [I knew you didn’t know. ]
When Emperor Wen Zhao and the Empress heard this, they thought that neither the kid knew nor the system knew, so they simply called the people in to ask.
A moment later, the plastic sisters, Noble Lady Yue and Noble Lady Fang, walked in.
When they saw that the Empress and the Ninth Princess were also there, they were both stunned, but after a while they hurriedly greeted them.
Emperor Wen Zhao looked at them with a hint of disdain and snorted coldly.
Normally, they were both gentle, virtuous, kind, and lovely, but he didn’t expect that they were all acting. He was too lazy to look at such hypocritical people who said one thing on the surface and another behind the scenes.
He should just look at his little nine. As soon as Emperor Wen Zhao’s eyes fell on the chubby little girl, he couldn’t help but smile. His little nine was still the most popular one.
Seeing that His Majesty didn’t even ask to stand up, the Empress smiled and asked the two of them to stand up. Then she just looked at them quietly, waiting for them to explain their purpose.
Being stared at by the Empress with a smile, the two Noble Lady Yue and Noble Lady Fang felt invisible pressure, and for a moment they didn’t know whether they should speak or not. They looked at each other, communicating with their eyes, hoping that the other would speak, but no one was willing, so they all remained silent.
Yesterday, the two of them heard from the Ninth Princess that they had framed each other, and they had a big fight over it. They were so emotional at the time that they even wanted to kill each other.
Later, they were anxious to pay their respects to the Empress and was forced to stop fighting midway, but they were still feeling angry.
I had thought that after greeting everyone, I would lay out the cards and settle all the old scores.
But after walking around the Empress’s palace and meeting so many concubines, the two calmed down.
They all agreed that the grudges between them were minor matters, and the strange thing happening to the Ninth Princess was a major matter.
They originally planned to go to Miaoyunxuan to see the Ninth Princess and find out more.
For example, their future situations, or whether other concubines would be more willing to share secrets, so as to help them survive and develop better in this harem.
But when someone asked, they found out that not long after the Ninth Princess returned to Miaoyunxuan, the Seventh and Eighth Princesses went there again. They didn’t stay there for long, but after they left, they quickly sent a large pile of things over.
There are many concubines in the harem, and most of them have nothing to do. If there is any disturbance in any palace, it will spread within half a day.
The abnormal behavior of the seventy-eighth princess has drawn all the attention of the harem to Miaoyunxuan.
Everyone was secretly wondering whether the two princesses’ actions were instructed by the Empress and the Imperial Consort, or by His Majesty’s intention.
Could it be that the soft-hearted Concubine Ru, who has nothing good to offer except her face, is going to regain favor?
According to the gossip they had obtained, many concubines were already ready to make a move.
Those who want to have a good relationship with Concubine Ru plan to find an opportunity to visit her.
Whether Concubine Ru and her daughter become popular figures in front of His Majesty, the Empress, or the Imperial Noble Consort in the future, they will be able to take care of them.
Of course, there were also people who wanted to step on Concubine Ru and press her down before she got up.
After all, if Concubine Ru’s face really gained favor, most of the people in the harem would be outshined by her.
The two of them couldn’t figure it out, so they didn’t dare to act rashly yesterday.
Later, the two thought that the Ninth Princess liked to stroll in the Imperial Garden every day whether she had anything to do or not, so they decided to block her on the road today and pretend to meet her by chance.
But unexpectedly, early in the morning, the Seventh and Eighth Princesses appeared in Miaoyunxuan again and took the Ninth Princess away.
In this way, the two of them never found an opportunity to get close to the Ninth Princess, and they were inevitably anxious and irritated.
On the way back from the Empress, they met a palace maid named Sun who had just been named a Cairen. Seeing her smiling sweetly, the two of them couldn’t help but think of the days when they were also briefly favored by His Majesty, and they became more upset.
So, the two of them took advantage of their high positions and mocked Sun Cairen.
But after returning, the two felt a little regretful. They had just had a fight yesterday, and today they bullied Cairen Sun. If they were to strictly follow the palace rules, they were all wrong.
Yesterday they guessed that the seventh and eighth princesses would not go and complain, but what if? After all, those two are the ones who love to watch the fun the most in the whole palace, and they might let the cat out of the bag in front of the empress and the imperial concubine.
And as for Cairen Sun, according to His Majesty’s habit of getting tired of the old and liking the new, she has just been favored and will have at least a short period of good days ahead of her. What if she reports them to His Majesty again?
The more they discussed it, the more uneasy they became. So they decided to come to His Majesty and apologize.
What’s more, as people who know about this major event happening in the palace, they have the obligation and responsibility to inform His Majesty, right?
They had never heard of this from anyone else, so it was very likely that they were the first to discover it. If they report it to His Majesty, they would be the first to gain credit. His Majesty might let them stay just to get to know more about the situation. They wouldn’t dare to expect to sleep with him, but having a meal with him would be good, as it would always help to boost their relationship.
Normally, they should report to their direct superior, the Empress, but the two had not seen His Majesty for a long time. This was a rare opportunity, so after discussion, they decided to report to His Majesty together.
But looking at the current situation, His Majesty and the Empress seem to have already known it.
Your Majesty had a look of disgust on his face and was unwilling to even look at them for a few moments. Could it be that he was disgusted with them because of this?
The Empress Mother kept looking at them with a smile. Was she making fun of them?
Also, the Empress’s smile seemed cold no matter how you looked at it. Was it because they bypassed her and came directly to His Majesty?
They were able to frame each other without being discovered, which showed that neither of them was stupid.
In just a moment, she understood the situation, exchanged glances for a moment, and changed her mind.
Noble Lady Fang knelt down first and said, “Your Majesty, we wanted to go to Fengyi Palace to look for you, but we heard that you came to Your Majesty’s place, so we came here.”
Noble Yue followed suit and knelt down: “Yes, Empress, we are here to apologize and to report something important to you.”
These two people are good at changing their attitude according to the situation. The Empress raised her eyebrows slightly and said, “Then tell me about it.”
She guessed that they were going to talk about Xiaojiu, but she was not worried because no one could say anything in front of Xiaojiu, but they could for no reason.
Even if she could say it, she would stop it in time and not let Xiaojiu hear it.
Although Emperor Wen Zhao was a lustful emperor, he was a very capable and good emperor in terms of government affairs and governing the country.
From an unpopular illegitimate prince to finally ascending to the throne, he had gone through untold hardships and experienced all kinds of things and met all kinds of people.
How could he not see the little tricks in the minds of the two nobles? However, the piles of government affairs every day were enough to give him a headache, and he was too lazy to care about the affairs of the harem. It just so happened that the Empress was here, and he wished he could have some free time.
Seeing the chubby girl in the Empress’s arms sitting obediently, looking very cute, he stretched out his hand and said, “Come here, Xiaojiu, come to your father.”
Ji Jinyou didn’t really want to go over, but he was the emperor. If she was a one or two year old child, she could pretend to be ignorant.
But she is already three years old. If she says or behaves inappropriately, it will bring trouble to her mother.
So, after a brief struggle, she slipped off the empress’s legs, walked to Emperor Wen Zhao, raised her little head, and called out obediently, “Father.”
The soft, baby-like voice made Emperor Wen Zhao’s heart melt, and he reached out to hug the baby.
”Youyou is a big kid, sit by yourself.”
Ji Jinyou pushed Emperor Wen Zhao’s hand away, walked to a chair nearby, and climbed up with her two chubby hands.
The little baby, who was not even half a leg tall, said that she was a big kid, and Emperor Wen Zhao laughed out loud.
Seeing that the chubby girl had been climbing for a long time but still failed to climb up, he laughed even louder, “My little Jiu is really amazing. She can even climb up the chair by herself. But this chair is a bit high. Do you want your father to help you?”
Ji Jinyou: “…”
She was too lazy to pay attention to the old emperor, so she climbed up by herself with great effort, sat down, swung her short legs a few times, and looked at the empress and others quietly.
The eyes of several people were on Ji Jinyou, and seeing that she had finished climbing, they continued to talk about the matter.
But Noble Lady Yue and Noble Lady Fang found that they could not make any sound again. They took turns trying several times, but it was the same every time. They were dumbfounded.
The Empress saw this and smiled. See, it just won’t work.
Ji Jinyou: [System, today is really strange. His Majesty just opened his mouth but didn’t speak before, and now the two nobles are also like this. Could it be that they have contracted some strange disease? ]
The system’s answer was unshakable: [I don’t know.]
After hearing this strange conversation again, the two nobles looked at the emperor and the Empress, and concluded that they had heard it as well. They secretly felt lucky that they had come on their own initiative.
The Empress looked at Emperor Wen Zhao and said, “Your Majesty, the two noble ladies may have some unspeakable secrets. It is not easy to speak in front of you. I will take them out to speak.”
Emperor Wen Zhao waved his hand and said, “Go ahead.”
The Empress took the two of them outside and saw that the seventh and eighth princesses had run away at some point. She didn’t care and asked the two of them to speak quickly.
The two of them knelt down again and told each other everything that had happened in the past two days, without hiding anything.
After hearing this, the Empress said with dignity, “If you two live in harmony and treat Cairen Sun well in the future, I will not punish you this time. If you do it again next time, I will punish you severely. That’s enough, you can go back now.”
She was still anxious to listen to Xiaojiu.
The two of them were originally very nervous, but when they saw how magnanimous the Empress was, they felt relieved and made promises together, promising to behave themselves and never do anything wrong.
In the past, the Empress would not have believed it, but now she does. After all, with the mysterious System around, no one has any secrets anymore.
This is also the reason why she did not punish the two of them. I believe that from now on, they will be much more honest.
The two nobles bowed respectfully and stood up to take their leave.
When the Empress returned to the inner room, she saw His Majesty and Xiaojiu sitting on chairs, each staring at each other.
The Empress walked to Xiaojiu’s side and just sat down when she heard Liang Quan come to report again: “Your Majesty, Your Majesty, Cairen Sun wants to see you.”
