After listening to Jinzhong's report, Yanwan was surprised and asked, "Did Rongpin really say that to Wanpin? Did Wanpin also hear it?"

Jinzhong nodded and said, "Is this true? The people I sent over heard it all. It seems that the master doesn't need to speak in person this time."

Yan Wan knew that even if she helped Wanpin, Wanpin was always timid and suffered from Ruyi syndrome. She would definitely think that she had betrayed Ruyi, so she had to ask for Ruyi's forgiveness and be loyal to Ruyi again.

Yan Wan originally planned to wake up Wanpin herself and sent someone to invite Wanpin to Yongshou Palace for a gathering. Unexpectedly, Han Xiangjian got there first. This was really a pleasant surprise.

"It seems that Rongpin really hates the Queen. She said those words to Wanpin in the Imperial Garden. She is not afraid that someone will spread it to the Queen and Yupin's ears."

Jinzhong laughed and said, "Hanqi's body could have held on for three to five months, but after being tortured by Ling Yunche, he was so angry that he met the King of Hell in a few days. Rongpin also vaguely guessed that Ling Yunche coveted the queen, and knew that Hanqi's misfortune was due to the queen's inconsistency. How could she not hate them?"

"Rongpin used to not ask about anything in the palace and didn't care about anything. In order to avenge her lover, she resorted to this scheme, but she is still a little unfamiliar with it."

"But Rongpin's words are positive. The Queen has never helped Wanpin at all. Why can't Wanpin win favor for herself?"

Yan Wan smiled and nodded, "Let them fight. I will wait and watch the show in Yongshou Palace."

Jinzhong remembered what he had meant and reminded Yanwan, "My Lord, I received a report from the Yanxi Palace saying that Concubine Yu couldn't swallow this anger and wanted to spread rumors to sow discord between you and Concubine Shu."

Yan Wan immediately thought of something and nodded, "I understand."

The next day, Yanwan went to Chuxiu Palace to visit Yihuan. She happened to hear some palace servants discussing privately outside the palace, saying that it was she who instructed Wanpin to please the emperor.

Yan Wan had just sat down and hadn't even put the cup of tea in her mouth when Yi Huan asked, "You're here because of those rumors, right?"

Yanwan was stunned and looked at Yihuan's expression to see if she was angry.

Yi Huan said with a smile: "In Sister Yan Wan's heart, is my sister just a jealous person?"

Yan Wan felt relieved and teased Yi Huan deliberately, "That's hard to say. Who in the palace doesn't know that Concubine Shu is deeply in love with the emperor? If she gets jealous, I'm sure she won't be that ruthless."

Yihuan's face turned red and she pretended to pinch Yanwan's face, and Yanwan quickly begged for mercy.

Yi Huan said, "The Queen and Yupin want to alienate you and me. These days, the area outside Chuxiu Palace is as lively as a market. Some say that you couldn't bear to see Wanpin fall from favor, so you taught her how to collect imperial poems to please the Emperor. Some say that you want to be the one above everyone else in the harem, and you don't want me to be on an equal footing with you, so you deliberately help Wanpin share my favor."

"They were afraid that I couldn't hear them clearly, so they kept shouting outside Chuxiu Palace. I was almost annoyed. You came just in time, so send them away quickly."

Yan Wan asked curiously, "Sister has been in the palace for more than ten years and has always been infatuated with the emperor. This time, my sister did help Concubine Wan win favor. Sister, don't you feel jealous when you see this?"

Yi Huan said from the bottom of her heart: "The emperor already has three palaces and six courtyards. Since I chose to enter the palace, I naturally thought of everything. I just hope that the emperor will not forget me. The emperor never forgot Empress Xiaoxian. After her death, he was mourned with great honors. He also doted on Princess Hejing, the daughter of Empress Xiaoxian. I am happy to see someone who is so sentimental."

"I have been reading the emperor's poems, and I hope that the emperor can write poems for me. Wanpin also truly loves the emperor. As long as it is for the emperor's good, why would I mind?"

Yan Wan said with emotion: "I am really touched by your kindness to the Emperor!"

Yan Wan was just talking in private when she heard the emperor walk in with a smile, "What are you two whispering about? Tell me."

"I, my concubine, meet the Emperor!"

The emperor helped the two of them up, "Hurry up, what are you talking about? Have you been influenced by those talkative servants?"

Yanwan and Yihuan looked at each other. It seemed that the emperor had also heard these rumors. Yihuan said, "I have known Sister Yanwan for more than ten years. How could I be provoked by rumors? I just feel that I am not as capable as Sister Yanwan to come up with the idea of ​​collecting imperial poems in advance."

Yan Wan said, "It was indeed I who asked Wanpin to do this. Originally, it should have been done by me or Sister Yihuan, but we considered that Sister Wanpin was also sincere to the emperor, and it would better show the virtue of Empress Xiaoxian and the emperor's deep nostalgia for her. I didn't expect that it would cause misunderstandings."

Yi Huan said, "My concubine and sister Yan Wan are deeply loved by the emperor, so we naturally hope that the former court and the harem know the deep love between the emperor and Empress Xiaoxian. Just now, sister Yan Wan teased me and said that I was a jealous person. Your Majesty, am I really like that?"

Of course, the emperor would not believe these crude rumors, and he said them in public just to tease the two. Now that he heard the two's heartfelt words, he nodded in praise.

"Empress Xiaoxian deserves these virtuous names. Since ancient times, it is easy to add icing on the cake, but it is difficult to provide timely assistance. Yanwan has done a great job! As for Yihuan, of course she is not a jealous person. At best, she is just a jealous person."

Yan Wan burst out laughing, and Yi Huan blushed immediately. She said unwillingly, "Why is the Emperor just like Sister Yan Wan, and loves to make fun of me?!"

Yan Wan was afraid of angering Yi Huan, so she quickly changed the subject, "The emperor just finished court, why is he coming to Chuxiu Palace at this time?"

The emperor thought of important matters and said, "The Mongolian prince will come to Beijing to see me soon. I will host a banquet for them in Chonghua Palace. I originally wanted to visit Yihuan first and let the queen and you prepare later. But when I heard that you were here too, I came to Chuxiu Palace."

Yan Wan said: "Your Majesty, rest assured. I will definitely assist the Queen in entertaining the Mongolian prince!"

The emperor looked at Yan Wan and said, "The young prince of the Mongolian prince will also come to Beijing this time. I intend to arrange a marriage for the young prince. Yan Wan, what do you think of him becoming the seventh son-in-law of our Jing Yu?"

Yan Wan didn't react and stood there in a daze for a moment. Yi Huan said, "But Jing Yu is only seven years old. How can she marry?"

The emperor said, "Of course not now. I just saw that the young master is very outstanding and has a good family background, so I arranged this marriage for Jingyu first. Don't worry, I will let the young master stay in the capital. After the marriage, Jingyu will stay in the capital as long as Jingse. What do you think, Yanwan?"

Yan Wan knew that Jing Yu's husband in history was Prince Chaoyong Lawangdorji, and he was indeed a rare good man. As a mother, the most important thing for her daughter was to marry a good husband and live a good life.

Yan Wan said: "Your Majesty has taken the trouble to consider Jingyu, how can I not be willing? Everything is up to Your Majesty!"
