Chapter 269 Are you pretending to be poor in front of me?
Li Yu realized that he had wronged Jinzhong, and a flash of guilt flashed across his heart.
He hesitated for a moment, and before Jinzhong slapped him again, he gritted his teeth and admitted his fault: "It's me, it's my fault! I committed treason, I know my crime!"
Jinzhong's face lit up with joy, and he quickly looked at Yanwan: "My Lady Imperial Concubine!"
Yan Wan waved her hands unhappily: "Forget it, who told him to be your master, and you, you saved me once?"
She nodded at Li Yu and said, "Since you can't control people, let someone who can control people do the work... You, Sanbao, right? Just be the chief eunuch and control people well, and don't let this kind of farce happen again."
She said it lightly and casually, but Sanbao heard it as a warning - the road has been paved for you, and if you let Li Yu make trouble again, you will have to stay in Yikun Palace and work for nothing for the rest of your life!
A trace of cruelty flashed across Sanbao's eyes, and his face became more respectful: "Your Highness, your Highness is right. I will remember it."
Yan Wan hummed in a lack of interest, and suddenly asked, "I heard that there is a girl named A Ruo here who looks very similar to the deceased Keliyete? I want to see her."
She did not tell Jinzhong about the affair between A'ruo and Ling Yunche, because Hongli had secretly ordered Jinzhong to do it, and she was not supposed to know about it.
But it didn’t matter. She saw from the corner of her eye that Ling Yunche had frozen.
Sanbao immediately said, "I will go and call Ah Ruo right now!"
Ling Yunche couldn't help but say, "She is a night-drinker, she is dirty and smelly, the Imperial Concubine's body is precious, it's better not to see her."
Yan Wan frowned slightly: "Your Yikun Palace is really weird, every servant wants to make decisions for the master."
San Bao kicked Ling Yunche and forced a smile, saying, "It's all because of my poor discipline that I offended the Imperial Concubine!"
Ling Yunche was kicked to the ground with a very ugly look on his face.
The last thing he wanted was to embarrass himself in front of Ruyi and Yanwan, but unfortunately, he could not get what he wanted every time.
Hailan came over quickly. It was night time now. She had worked all day and finally lay down on the bed. She fell into a deep sleep without even taking off her clothes. Now she was woken up to meet the guests and she was very annoyed.
But she was afraid of being twisted, and she didn't dare to show her anger. She walked over with a sullen face and lowered eyes, kneeling down and bowing: "Your servant greets the Imperial Concubine."
She saw Ling Yunche rolling on the ground out of the corner of her eye, and the depression in her heart instantly dissipated for the most part. She even couldn't help but reveal a gloating smile.
Ling Yunche saw her expression and could not help but show disgust on his face. He stood up with a cold face and knelt down again, just staring at the ground with his eyes downcast, as if he had turned into a statue.
Yan Wan looked at Hai Lan with great interest: "Look up and let me have a look."
Hailan froze for a moment before finally raising her head.
An old face full of vicissitudes of life was revealed unexpectedly.
Yan Wan couldn't even recognize her at first, but after taking a closer look, she could still see that she was a beauty.
She stared at him for a long time, until Hai Lan's face was filled with humiliation, and then she chuckled and said, "She is very similar, but she is older, smellier, and not as graceful as her."
Hailan tried to hold back, but in the end she couldn't help it and her eyes were filled with tears.
However, Hailan used to be elegant and beautiful, and she looked delicate and lovely when she cried. But now, Hailan has been tortured by work and life and has become an old woman who can't even stand up straight. When she cries, her inferiority, cowardice, vicissitudes, ugliness...all double.
Yanwan smiled, her eyes full of joy.
Is there anything in this world that could make one feel more satisfied than standing on high and watching the enemy being reduced to dust?
She did not have the empty feeling of revenge, but only a solid sense of satisfaction and a more passionate pursuit of power and status.
She laughed enough, and stood up with Chunchan's hand: "Let's go and invite the emperor. It's really boring here. I want to go back to Yongshou Palace to read the storybooks."
Hai Lan couldn't help but speak up: "Noble Concubine Ling, you have done so many things, don't you really feel uneasy?"
Yan Wan didn't even pause: "Those people who framed me back then didn't feel guilty. I haven't done anything bad, let alone actively harmed others. Why should I feel guilty?"
If it was in her previous life, she would still feel guilty, afraid that others would find out what she had done.
But in this life, she was innocent, her hands were clean, and no one was killed. Why did she feel guilty? Was she guilty that she didn't climb fast enough?
Yanwan stroked the pearls and jade on her temples and chuckled.
Then she should really feel guilty.
She held Chunchan's hand and walked gracefully towards the main hall.
Rong Pei stood guard at the door like a door god, with a cold face and open arms: "Lady Ling Guifei, the emperor is talking to our master, I'm afraid it's not convenient for you to go in."
Yanwan glanced at Jinzhong.
Jinzhong squinted his eyes and walked forward, pushing Rong Pei's open arms away, and pushed her directly behind him, bending over: "Your Highness, please--"
Rong Pei was so angry that she glared: "My Lady Concubine! My Lady Concubine!"
She wanted to chase him, but she was very strong and Jinzhong was not a pushover either, so he held her back tightly and only let her go after Yanwan had entered the room.
In the room, Ruyi was squeezing in Hongli's arms and acting like a spoiled child. Yanwan suddenly came in. She blushed and wanted to come out, but as soon as she moved, she seemed to remember something. She just stayed next to Hongli and looked at Yanwan with a pure face: "Noble Concubine Ling, why did you come in?"
Yan Wan ignored her, bowed to Hongli, frowned and said: "Your Majesty, let's go back. I really can't get used to staying in Yikun Palace."
Ruyi's eyes darkened: "No doubt Concubine Ling doesn't like my Yikun Palace. This Yikun Palace is poor..."
Yan Wan interrupted her: "You are indeed very poor living in Yikun Palace, but this Yikun Palace has nothing to do with poverty, right? Concubine Xian, do you really have to let me point out what you have placed here?
The monthly wages for you and your maids and eunuchs have indeed been taken away, but the ornaments and large furniture originally equipped in the Yikun Palace were all the emperor's things, and he left them there specifically to save your face.
In addition to these, there are also the precious pearls and jade in your trousseau, which were your dowry. The emperor did not use them to compensate the other palaces for your sake, so why are you pretending to be poor in front of me?"
She covered her lips in surprise and said, "Don't tell me that you think that I haven't been to school for many years, so I can't recognize these noble porcelains of yours, so you want to trick me that these are worthless broken porcelain bottles?"
Ruyi was so angry that her face turned red, and her eyebrows were raised again: "Do you have to be so aggressive?"
Yan Wan frowned slightly: "Your Majesty, the servants in the Yikun Palace are all so strange. Li Yu and Xiao Lingzi wanted to teach me how to manage the harem. That one called A Ruo even asked me if I felt guilty. And the master, Concubine Xian, you talk to her about feelings, but she insists on reasoning. You talk to her about reasoning, but she insists on feelings again. You can't convince others, it's because others are aggressive..."
She frowned and said, "Let's go back. I still prefer to stay with you in Yongshou Palace. I really don't like this Yikun Palace."
