Donggong Zhangjiao

Set off early in the morning and arrive at noon.

It was already past lunch time when we arrived.

The roads in the garden are wide and spacious, and carriages can drive directly to the entrances of various residences.

To avoid trouble, Pei Yao directly ordered Hong Zheng to pass the message, asking the concubines to go to their respective residences to rest without any formalities.

This was naturally more convenient and comfortable, but when they heard that the emperor had followed Concubine Zhao directly, they felt less comfortable.

But there is nothing we can do, now that we are in the garden, besides the emperor, Concubine Zhao is the biggest, and no one can offend her.

Pei Yao and Fang Yun, who had left everyone behind, had already arrived at their residence comfortably in a carriage, regardless of what others thought.

Qijinyuan, where Fang Yun lives, is a courtyard built to imitate the scenery of Jiangnan.

Calling it a courtyard is not quite appropriate, it is a small garden.

It is surrounded by greenery and clusters of flowers. Living water is brought in from the lake not far behind and winds around to form a clear stream. There is a small arch bridge on the stream. The water is also paved with pebbles and cute little flowers are placed in it. Koi can be described as exquisite.

Entering the garden, walking along the path, you will find an elegant and exquisite courtyard in the middle. The entire courtyard was built using mostly bamboo and wood, with only a small amount of bricks and stones, so it looks even more cool and transparent. As soon as you enter, you feel The heat is mostly gone.

Although Yuzhang Palace is good and magnificent, it has lost the charm of nature. However, Qijin Garden makes people feel like they are in a Jiangnan garden. The freshness and freedom are really pleasant.

And seeing the light in Fang Yun's eyes getting brighter, Pei Yao smiled and said.

"I specially ordered someone to make it. I guessed that you would like it. Come in and have lunch first. I'm very hungry."

"The emperor treats me so well, I am so touched." Fang Yun held his arm and leaned his head on him, "I must have accumulated a lot of virtues and blessings in my previous life, otherwise how could I meet the emperor in this life? .”

"You're also talkative. I'm afraid Ji'er will learn from you."

Pei Yao couldn't help laughing when he saw the weird look of the woman next to him who was deliberately acting coquettishly.

And Fang Yun was not embarrassed after being exposed. His beautiful eyebrows were slightly raised and his beautiful eyes were smiling as he joked.

"The emperor makes me so happy, so I should also coax the emperor."

"I'm not a child, and I still want you to coax me." Pei Yao reached out and pinched her nose.

Fang Yun didn't hide this time, but got closer and said, "That concubine is a child, your Majesty, please coax me more!"

"I'm not shy at all. Can I get you some sugar cookies?"

"I, my concubine, eat two!"

As he said that, the two of them stuck together and entered the house.

Now that he's no longer in the palace, he doesn't have so many rules and is becoming more and more casual.

The servants waiting on the side also snickered when they saw the emperor and the imperial concubine being intimate.

After leaving the palace this time, Yuan He and Yan Wei stayed in Yuzhang Palace to take care of the second princess and the fourth prince. They were followed by Qingrong and two second-class palace maids, Su Xin and Ruoyu, who took good care of them.

This is a chance to give these two second-class maids a real experience.

Qingrong and Yanwei are getting married, so they must hand over some of the things they are doing to others.

So now Suxin and Ruoyu were unambiguous. Seeing Qingrong go in to serve, they quickly took care of other things.

One person arranges lunch, and the other person packs the luggage.

After Fang Yun and Pei Yao had lunch, the main room was already tidied up.

The two of them got up early and were tired from the journey on the carriage. They drank the digestion tea and sat for a while, then went in to rest together.

Seeing that the masters had rested, Suxin and Ruoyu calmed down.

Qingrong came out and said with a smile, "You've done well today. Let's all rest. There is iced mung bean soup. Drink some to get rid of the heat. But remember to prepare things for the emperor and the empress to use when they wake up from their nap."

"Yes." The two of them responded.

It was the first time that I personally arranged things around Fang Yun, so I was inevitably nervous.

After receiving Qingrong's recognition, they were all secretly happy and became more motivated.

why?

Just looking at Qingrong and Yanwei's generous dowry is enough to make people's hearts flutter.

If you serve your concubine well and attentively, there will naturally be many benefits in the future.

This is also Fang Yun's way of manipulating people's hearts.

Of course you have to play the emotional card, but you also need to have tangible benefits. Otherwise, how can people be willing to do things for you with all their heart?

But she is like this here, but not elsewhere.

For example, Wan Bin, as soon as she settled down, she sent someone to inquire about what was going on in the garden during lunch.

The people below had just finished moving their luggage, and before they could take a breath and eat something, they went off to work as spies non-stop. It was such a hot day that they almost suffered from heat stroke.

But even though she had complaints in her heart, she didn't dare to say anything. She still found out the news and told Wanbi.

Xu Lingyi and Lan Liangyuan's treatment was quite satisfactory. Because Wanbi brought the Sixth Princess with her, the arrangement was based on the rank of concubine.

She was happy at first, but after hearing about Fang Yun's residence, her face suddenly dropped.

"Qi Jinyuan, the emperor really has her in his heart."

"What do you think your Majesty has to say?"

Yuetao was puzzled and asked carefully while shaking her fan.

Concubine Wan narrowed her eyes and smiled bitterly, "The word Jin means unique jade. This Qijin Garden is for her to live in. Didn't she tell the outside world that she is the most precious in the emperor's heart?"

After hearing this explanation, Yuetao's heart froze, and she quickly comforted her.

"Your Majesty, don't be sad. Although your residence is not as good as Qijin Garden, your Majesty is originally a concubine, but everything here is arranged according to your concubine's position. It can be seen that the Emperor also values ​​your Majesty, and it is impossible to say that he already has the intention to marry your concubine. It’s already in place.”

"You don't care about me, it's just for the sake of the Sixth Princess." Wanbi said calmly.

He took a deep breath and calmed his mind before giving the order.

"Let the people below take good care of the princess and not make any mistakes. Half of my dignity now depends on the princess."

Although she was unwilling to accept it, Wanbi stayed in the palace for a long time and she still understood.

Yuetao nodded, and then said, "By the way, my lady, I also said that Xu Lingyi and Lan Liangyuan live next to each other. They are very close and they have lunch together."

Hearing this, Wanbi's eyes flashed with a hint of coldness, and she snorted softly.

"It's good to be together. Being close together makes it easier to clean up together. The garden is quiet. My brother suffered a loss at the hands of the Qiu family. It's time to settle this debt."

"Don't worry, Madam, I will keep an eye on them."

Yuetao bowed and responded.

At that time, Lan Liangyuan, who had just had lunch and returned to her residence from Xu Lingyi, was already making plans in her mind.

"It's hard to get out of the palace. It's more convenient to communicate with my family in this garden than in the palace. I haven't written to my mother for a long time. Now that the summer heat is unbearable and my mother is weak, I just asked the imperial doctor to prepare some summer health pills. , send him out of the palace to support his mother."

Lan Liangyuan sat by the window, holding a cup of digestive tea and giving instructions in a low voice.

Caiwei understood and immediately bowed, "Liangyuan is very filial, I will take care of it later."
