Donggong Zhangjiao

But there are also some who don’t know, such as Wan Lingyi next to her.

Hearing Fang Yun say that he wanted to invite the emperor to have a meal, he couldn't help but look sideways.

I thought to myself that Concubine Zhao also panics sometimes.

After all, Yanbi's fall and injury happened just yesterday. The emperor went to the Furong Palace, but not the Yuzhang Palace. This time he took the initiative to invite her, fearing that he would say something to excuse himself.

But as soon as she thought of this, Wan Lingyi couldn't help but laugh at herself.

Now she couldn't see the emperor twice a month, and she was worried about other people.

But then I thought again, if Fang Yun was angered by the emperor and was neglected during this period, and the new concubine who entered the palace was injured and could not sleep with her, would her chance come?

Thinking about it this way, Wan Lingyi's mood improved a lot.

"Empress." Song Lingyi came over, glanced at Wan Lingyi, and then continued, "Wan Lingyi is happy about something. I am in a good mood when I see it."

She mentioned it, and Fang Yun followed her words and glanced in the direction where Wan Lingyi left, and then said lightly.

"I heard that her brother is going to get engaged in the next few days. He has chosen Lord Shang's legitimate daughter as the deputy governor of the Inspectorate. I guess she is happy about this."

"Deputy Imperial Envoy of the Inspectorate? That's a close family relationship. They are both civil and military, so they complement each other." Song Lingyi said.

Wan Lingyi's brother Hu Daixu is the commander of the Kyoto Guard.

Fang Yun smiled, carelessly asked, "How is your brother doing lately? Do you have any other plans in the future?"

Going to Northern Xinjiang, Liu Qin and Song Lingyi's younger brother, Song Shuyan, went together.

Although Song Shuyan did not make any great achievements, he had Huo Mingxuan and Liu Qin taking care of him, so he had a certain position.

Didn't Liu Qin get the position of Prime Minister of Dali Temple? Song Shuyan worked under him, similar to the secretary of later generations.

"Shu Yan means that he also wants to take the imperial examination again. After all, his current position is not very good. This is also what Mr. Liu means."

Speaking of his younger brother, Song Lingyi's face became a little softer.

Song Lingyi actually didn't think too much about Song Shuyan's current situation.

There was no such thing as the idea that when the two of them went to Northern Xinjiang together, Liu Qin was given a serious official position, but Song Shuyan was just doing odd jobs under Liu Qin, which was unfair.

After hearing this, Fang Yun nodded, "I think it's okay to take the exam again. Your brother's literary talent is not bad. If he passes the exam in the future, he will be more dignified and more promising than he is now if he enters the Hanlin Academy or works elsewhere. "

"It's all the support of the empress and Master Liu. I thank the empress on behalf of my brother." Song Lingyi bowed.

She was so polite, Fang Yun raised the corners of his lips and stretched out his hand to pull her up.

"There is support. We are helping each other, aren't we? It would be too polite to offer support or something like that."

"What the lady said is."

Song Lingyi understood what Fang Yun meant and smiled on his face.

The two of them said a few words, then separated after reaching a fork in the road, and went back their separate ways.

After returning to Yuzhang Palace and changing into light casual clothes, Fang Yun called Yuan He in.

"Is the Yanqing office ready?"

"Go back to your Majesty, the slaves have already explained to them. We are just waiting for your Majesty to speak."

Yuan He replied respectfully.

At this moment, Zi Yanwei made tea and brought it over, smiling and saying, "Wait for Qingrong, and we'll know everything."

Fang Yun glanced at her, raised the corners of his lips slightly, took the tea cup and took a sip.

Not long after, Qingrong came back and happily informed Fang Yun that the emperor had agreed to come over for dinner in the evening.

After receiving the news, Fang Yun was in a good mood. He finished what he was doing in the morning and took the fourth prince to play outside in the afternoon.

While their mother and son were spending family time together, the other mother and son were not so close.

Zhongcui Palace.Concubine Yang was resting on the soft couch outside with her eyes closed, when she heard some rustling coming from the door.

Nowadays, she was in low spirits and was in a particularly irritable mood. Especially when she heard these tiny sounds while taking a break, she felt particularly angry, so she immediately scolded her coldly.

"I'm so annoyed. What's going on outside!"

"Madam, calm down."

Hearing Concubine Yang's anger inside, Si Qi, who was waiting outside, hurriedly entered the room and bowed.

"Your Majesty, Si Shun, the eunuch in charge of the third prince, is here."

Concubine Yang opened her eyes, her brows still furrowed.

"What is he doing here?"

"It is said that the third prince wants to see the empress."

"What's there to see? I'm not feeling well right now. How can I have the energy to see him?"

Hearing this, Concubine Yang immediately lost her temper.

Si Qi was so frightened that she hurriedly knelt down, but after she finished her angry outburst, she still said bravely.

"Your Majesty, I know that your Majesty is not feeling well, and I don't want the Third Prince to disturb your rest. However, Your Majesty, you still have to put on a show in front of the Emperor. Originally, Sishun knew that Your Majesty was raising a fetus, and I don't want to disturb you today. But listen I came here because I was afraid that something would go wrong if I told the people around the eldest prince."

This explanation brought up Pei Yao, and Concubine Yang suppressed her anger and asked.

"What do the people around the eldest prince say?"

"Didn't Concubine Jin take the eldest prince back to Changqing Palace for dinner last night? This morning the eldest prince went to the imperial study room and was asked about his homework by the emperor. While talking to the emperor, he mentioned this matter, and the emperor said it smoothly Then he asked about the situation of the third prince, and the eldest prince also said that your Majesty, you had never brought the third prince back to Zhongcui Palace for a meal. You only sent someone to send back things, and there was no daily snacks, soups, etc. Sent."

Si Qi lowered his head and looked at Concubine Yang's expression as he spoke. Seeing that she seemed to have listened, she continued.

"These words were told to Si Shun by the wet nurse next to the eldest prince. Si Shun and the eldest prince's wet nurse are from the same hometown, and they can usually talk to each other a few words, so Si Shun was thinking about whether the empress should take the third prince back to spend the night. Don't let the emperor think that the emperor doesn't care about the third prince."

"I'm still not energetic today. Let's pick up the third prince for lunch tomorrow."

Concubine Yang raised her hand and rubbed her temples.

However, Si Qi said, "Your Majesty, Si Shun said it would be best to bring the Third Prince back for dinner tonight."

"Why?" Concubine Yang frowned.

"The third prince called for Ping'an Pulse this morning. The imperial physician specially sent by the emperor to take care of him said that the third prince cried hard due to the nightmare last night and is feeling a little weak today. The imperial physician is required to report the third prince's physical condition to the emperor every day. .”

Si Qi whispered.

After saying this, Concubine Yang understood.

The third prince was feeling unwell today, so she picked him up, indicating that she was paying attention to the third prince.

If I pick it up tomorrow, it will be too late.

After all, when a child is uncomfortable, a mother will definitely pick her child up and take care of her as soon as possible.

After hearing these words, Concubine Yang took a deep breath before waving her hands.

"Then bring him back tonight."

Deal with it, Concubine Yang thought to herself.

"Yes, this servant is going to pass on the message."

Si Qi stood up, walked to the door, and gave instructions to the little eunuch named Sishun who was waiting at the door.

The little eunuch was very happy. He was busy saluting and saying a few nice words before leaving.

And this little eunuch named Sishun was one of the two people who jumped into the pool in time to save the third prince when he fell into the water.
