Although the harem of Yan State is vacant, one person is always in charge of the harem.

This person is Concubine Chen, the cousin of the late Empress of Yan Kingdom, whose boudoir name is Jiang Yue.

But because Concubine Chen's body is weak, she lives in seclusion all the year round, and rarely shows up unless there is a big event.

Xia Qiulian had only met her a few times in her previous life.

All she knew was that Yan Wanting relied on and trusted Concubine Chen very much, and sometimes played tricks, even His Majesty couldn't surrender, but as soon as Concubine Chen stepped out, she softened her temper and became extraordinarily well-behaved.

This time when she entered Yan Palace, she had never seen Concubine Chen, except that Xia Qiulian went to invite Ann on the day she was named Concubine, and she saw Concubine Chen through the soft tent.

When Yan Wanting heard that Concubine Chen had passed out, his face immediately changed and he hurried out.

Before Yan Wanting left, Xia Qiulian thought for a moment, then called Qing Yuan and Lv Ruan to change her clothes. Concubine Chen was in a bad condition. No matter what, she should go to visit Concubine Chen and express her feelings.

Concubine Chen's bedroom is located next to the vacant queen's bedroom, named Jingyi Palace, which is one word different from Xia Qiulian's Jingling Palace.

All the way, before reaching the gate of the hall, Xia Qiulian saw a group of Yingying and Yanyan huddled in front of the hall from a distance, chirping in a low voice, and didn't know what to say.

The empresses of the various palaces also heard the news and arrived early, but for some reason, they all stood at the gate of the palace and did not enter.

"Hey, Concubine Xian, you are also here to see Concubine Chen."

A concubine with a tender face in a blue palace dress saw Xia Qiulian, and greeted Xia Qiulian with a chuckle. child.

Xia Qiulian recognized her, this is Li Zhaoyi who Yan Wanting said today, who was flirting with Ye Zhaoyin.

As soon as Xia Qiulian came, the chattering empresses of the various palaces stopped talking, and all their eyes fell on Xia Qiulian.

"Li Zhaoyi, why are the empresses of all the palaces standing at the gate of the hall and not entering the hall?"

Xia Qiulian asked softly.

"Your Majesty and the princess are both in the palace. The imperial doctor said that there are too many people, which will make Concubine Chen flustered and out of breath. Your Majesty asked us to wait outside and go in to see Concubine Chen later."

Seeing that Xia Qiulian answered her, Li Zhaoyi blinked her eyes and lowered her head shyly, her fair face flushed, she stared at her toes, her fingertips entangled.

Xia Qiulian knew that Li Zhaoyi was very thin-skinned and loved to blush, but she was gentle and kind-hearted, so she stood beside her and looked at her and smiled.

Xia Qiulian didn't stand for a long time, and many of the empresses in front of the hall left. Most of them looked a little bit upset, probably because they were very dissatisfied with being stopped waiting at the entrance of the hall.They all said that they would wait for Concubine Chen to recover tomorrow before coming to see her again.

When everyone was about to leave, Ye Zhaoyin, who was dressed in red, arrived late, with a tired face, as if he had just woken up, with a pair of long and narrow fox eyes that could not be closed, and kept waking up from time to time. He raised his hand to cover his lips and yawned, and walked over slowly.

Li Zhaoyi saw Ye Zhaoyin's figure from a distance, and her face was stained with a layer of deep red. She bit her lip and hid in front of Xia Qiulian, her eyes flickered with panic, as if she was about to cry.

He hurriedly said to Xia Qiulian that he would come back tomorrow, and then he held up the corners of his skirts and led the two court ladies, and ran to the side path as if fleeing for their lives, and the hairpins on the bun almost fell off.

"Miss, this lady is really likable, but she is a bit reckless, like a headless chicken."

As soon as Li Zhaoyi left, Qing Yuan leaned close to Xia Qiulian's ear and murmured in a low voice.

"Qing Yuan, shut up." Lu Ruan stood behind Xia Qiulian respectfully with her head bowed, and when she saw that Qing Yuan was so courageous to talk about the empress in the palace in public, she stretched out her hand and twisted Qing Yuan's back severely.

"hiss."

Qingyuan gasped, pouted her lips and glared at Lu Ruan with an aggrieved face, clutching the tender flesh in her lower back, she shrank back obediently.

"Qiu Lian, why did everyone leave when I came here?"

When Ye Zhaoyin came, she happened to pass by a few empresses, she rubbed her eyes, walked slowly to Xia Qiulian's side, and asked.

"The imperial physician is still feeling the pulse of Concubine Chen, His Majesty asked those who came to visit to wait in front of the palace for a while."

Xia Qiulian looked at Ye Zhaoyin, a few lights flashed in his eyes.

"These expensive ones can't wait any longer." Ye Zhaoyin chuckled, stepped forward to take Xia Qiulian's arm affectionately, and leaned lazily on her shoulder.

"Well, if sister is sleepy, she should go back to the palace first. Concubine Chen probably doesn't want to summon anyone today."

Seeing Ye Zhaoyin's tired look, Xia Qiulian said softly.

"I reckon I won't see anyone today, so why don't Qiu Lian go back with me, seeing that they're all gone, Concubine Chen has a generous temper, so she doesn't care about these vain rituals."

Ye Zhaoyin nodded, leaning most of her body weight on Xia Qiulian's body, squinting her eyes and rubbing against her shoulder.

The weather was so hot, and in the afternoon he was so sleepy, he wished he could stay in the hall and fan the wind without going out.

"If I knew it, I wouldn't go out. I blame these two impatient girls in my palace. It must be said that all the concubines in this palace have come to visit Concubine Chen. If I don't come, I will be rude and lose my tongue. I Chased me out before I woke up."

Ye Zhaoyin coquettishly held Xia Qiulian's arm, complaining about the two court ladies behind her who were rolling their eyes.

The two little maids looked at each other with their mouths curled up, their eyes were full of hatred for iron and steel. They are ladies who don't want to compete for favor and go to the palaces to moles the maids and maids. Follow her buttocks and urge to be vigilant, fearing that their mother has missed many things.

When Ye Zhaoyin was pulling Xia Qiulian and urging her to leave, a group of people suddenly walked out of the palace, two imperial physicians carrying a consultation box and several court ladies hurried out with their heads down.

"There are only two empresses left. Your Majesty has ordered that Concubine Chen is much more awake. If the empresses are still there, then go into the hall and have a look, so you can feel at ease."

The eunuch who followed His Majesty went out with the imperial physician, and saw that Xia Qiulian and Ye Zhaoyin were left in front of the palace, so he declared His Majesty's words truthfully.

After entering the palace, Ye Zhaoyin became more honest, and walked side by side with Xia Qiulian to Concubine Chen's bedroom.

Under the guidance of the eunuch, Xia Qiulian and Ye Zhaoyin entered the open door.

There were only a few people standing in the room, the Emperor Yan in a dragon robe was sitting at the table, with two elderly mothers and two trembling little maids standing beside him.

And Yan Wanting was sitting on the side of the bed, a weak woman with loose long hair and pale face was snuggling in her arms obediently, she held a bowl of medicinal soup in one hand, and handed it to the woman's lips with a jade spoon at the same time.

"Biao Auntie, you have to drink this medicine after all. You will be healthy after drinking the medicine. I will take you to fly a kite after you are able to go to the ground."

Yan Wanting's deep voice was gentle and loving, and it rang in Xia Qiulian's ears.

"This medicine is so bitter, I can't drink it."

Although Concubine Chen is Yan Wanting's cousin and Yan Huang's concubine, her seniority is higher than Yan Wanting's, but she looks about the same age as Yan Wanting.

Xu Shi was sick and weak all the year round, her brows were tender and weak, her fair face was delicate and picturesque, she just nestled in Yan Wanting's arms, like a fragile porcelain doll, her voice was soft and clear, With a bit of tenderness, she frowned slightly and turned her head to avoid the medicinal soup that Yan Banting fed to her mouth.
