Chapter 40
Yongzheng stared at Su Peisheng indiscriminately.

Su Peisheng lowered his head and bowed slightly, admitting his mistake and trying to find out what went wrong as soon as possible.

Thinking about it, Su Peisheng, who bowed his head, frowned. The master clearly ordered not to report. If our family finds out who doesn't obey the order, the Punishment Department will wait for her.

Just as he was thinking, suddenly, he thought of a person——Hai Changzai.

Similarly, Su Peisheng immediately locked him as the person who reported the news to Concubine Xi.

But this is just a guess, although there is eight or nine percent certainty that it is her, but it is still necessary to find out the facts.

"My concubine pays my respects to the emperor!" Concubine Xi immediately saluted Yongzheng after entering the pavilion.

"Exemption." Yongzheng said lightly.

After Concubine Xi stood up, Yuyao, Ning Guiren, and Lin Changzai bowed their knees to Concubine Xi at the same time.

When Concubine Xi saw that Yuyao was here, she felt displeased!

The bright smile on his face when he saw the emperor suddenly froze and became fake.

She endured her displeasure, and did not dare to toss Yuyao who was saluting her in front of Yongzheng.

After seeing the ceremony, Yongzheng continued to say lightly: "Everyone sit down!"

As soon as the voice fell, with Concubine Xi at the head, they sat down one by one in order of status and seniority.

"It's a great honor for the emperor to come to Jingren Palace." Concubine Xi said with a look of surprise.

Of course, she still has a little bit of resentment in her heart - why didn't she go directly to her place when she came to Jingren Palace, instead she came here, looking for a few low-ranking nobles to be there often!
But she didn't dare to be jealous in front of Yongzheng.

Yuyao: ...So, did Concubine Xi carry it like this in front of the emperor?

Thinking about it, she secretly observed Concubine Xi's actions in front of the emperor from the corner of her eye, tsk, the expressions and emotions are too much, a bit pretentious!

As a bystander, she felt uncomfortable, the emperor, she glanced at the emperor naturally from the corner of her eye.

Yongzheng's face was tense, his mouth was tight, and his tone of voice was also cold.

"I heard that you are holding a flower viewing banquet here, so I came to have a look." If it wasn't for Hongli's sake, he didn't really want to come that way.

The feeling of coming to Concubine Xi is similar to that of most concubines in the harem, there is really no common language, so it is better to change a few more memorials to make it more comfortable.

Thinking of this, Yongzheng felt a little depressed, why there are fewer memorials today, otherwise, he would have an excuse not to come to the harem.

If he is free, for Hongli's sake, even if he doesn't like to come to Concubine Xi, he still has to come.

So, even though he couldn't bring himself to talk to Concubine Xi, he still responded with a perfunctory "um", "um".

Is the emperor talking so perfunctorily with Concubine Xi? !

Yuyao was a little surprised.

But she thinks so, Ning Guiren and Lin Changzai don't think so, in their view, since Concubine Xi came, the emperor only talks to Concubine Xi.

No, Lin Changzai was both happy and disappointed, while Ning Guiren was just gloating.

Yuyao felt the scorching eyes in Ning Guiren's direction, but she didn't understand that Ning Guiren was targeting her.

She lowered her eyes, speechless.

As much as Yongzheng didn't want to continue talking with Concubine Xi, he missed the conversation with Yuyao just now.

The more he compares, the more he doesn't want to sit here and listen to Concubine Xi's boring words, so he suddenly interrupted Concubine Xi's words and said, "The peony here looks good, you all come with me to enjoy the flowers."

After speaking, he immediately stood up and walked out of the gazebo.

Concubine Xi followed immediately, Yuyao and Ning Guiren followed behind Concubine Xi, and Lin Changzai followed behind them.

In this way, when Yongzheng saw the peony that he admired, he introduced it himself if he understood it, and if he didn't understand, the eunuch who served these peony introduced it to Yongzheng.

Yuyao, who followed along the way, more or less learned a lot about peony.

But at the same time, she also had many doubts in her heart.

But Concubine Xi is here, she dare not talk too much, otherwise, in Concubine Xi's eyes, she probably wants to show herself in front of the emperor, which is not good.

But she decided to write down these questions and ask Yongzheng when she was alone with him in the future.

Of course, it would be fine to provide her with some books on this subject as well as chess records.

On the way to enjoy the flowers, it is inevitable to meet other concubines, so the number of people enjoying the flowers with Yongzheng is increasing.

After admiring the flowers for a while, when it was time to eat, everyone followed Yongzheng to the main hall of Jingren Palace.

Yuyao sat down in her place, and she looked at the dishes on the table, all of which were peony dishes and desserts.

Smelling the harmonious fragrance of flowers and food, Yuyao swallowed her saliva without showing any trace.

It smells so good, I want to eat it!
When is the banquet? !
Thinking about it, Yuyao glanced expectantly at the first place.

No, from the corner of the eye, I caught sight of the sour concubines on the opposite side.

Sour what?
Just thinking about it, I caught a glimpse of Concubine Xi showing off the closest to the first emperor, so I still don't understand.

It must be because Concubine Suanxi was close to the emperor, Concubine Suanxi won the two dishes rewarded by the emperor alone.

To be honest, she was also a little sour.

It would be even better if the emperor could also reward her with two dishes. After all, these dishes smell delicious and feel delicious.

Others have delicious food, but she doesn't have it. Of course she wants it too, but she doesn't want it, so it's not sour.

But after the emperor said that the banquet was ready, and started to eat, the sourness in Yuyao's heart was immediately kicked away by herself, and she immediately concentrated on eating.

It was delicious!

Yuyao, who was eating happily, looked at the dishes left on the table, and touched her belly without showing any traces, feeling so depressed in her heart!
It would be fine if it was in my side hall, even if there would be indecent hiccups after eating too much, I wouldn't be afraid.

But here, I can only eat eight percent full at most.

Thinking of how many mouthfuls of food I ate, the depression in my heart became heavier.

Forget it, I can't focus on eating, or I will always be in a bad mood.

As a result, Yuyao, who paid more attention to the surrounding movement, found that Eunuch Su Peisheng, who had disappeared during the meal, had reappeared beside the emperor.

After the emperor finished his meal, he whispered something to the emperor.

After the emperor finished his meal, everyone stopped their chopsticks.

Yongzheng praised Concubine Xi that the flower viewing banquet was not bad.

Concubine Xi smiled when she heard this.

But upon hearing Yongzheng's next words, "Concubine Xi, I have to leave first if I have something to do."

After the words fell, Yongzheng stood up, and the bright smile on Concubine Xi's face suddenly forced a smile.

She didn't dare to say anything about staying with the emperor, so she just said dryly: "The concubine sends the emperor respectfully!"

As soon as Concubine Xi's voice fell, Yuyao, together with all the concubines, followed Concubine Xi and saluted Yongzheng: "Concubine concubine sends the emperor respectfully!"

Yuyao, who was in the salute, lowered her head and lowered her eyes, secretly gloating in her heart that Concubine Xi also has today, and you always make trouble for me, haha, I'm so happy.

But no matter how happy she is, she can only be secretly happy, but dare not show it.

It was also Yuyao who was cautious, and after Yongzheng left, Concubine Xi pulled her down with a smug face.

Concubine Xi glanced at the concubines below, saw Yuyao who was bowing her head and being honest, and said to herself: It's quite interesting!
But when she saw some concubines taking pleasure in others' misfortune, she immediately turned black.
