Rebirth: Ruyi goes crazy in the harem

Chapter 256: Using Despicable Means to Win Favor

Knowing that Wei Yanwan could not ride a horse, the emperor considerately helped her onto his horse. The two of them rode together and returned leisurely.

Wei Yanwan took advantage of the angle of wiping her tears with a handkerchief to glance at Ling Yunche in a very subtle way, but saw that he was still keeping his head down obediently, like an emotionless puppet.

But no matter what, it was clearly him who saved himself today.

Wei Yanwan said softly to the emperor, "Your Majesty, this enclosure is fine, how could there be such a terrifying beast?

If I had known this earlier, I would definitely not have dared to wander around."

The emperor took a look at the leopard that had already died on the ground and said, "This leopard is not a wild beast, it is domesticated in an enclosure for people to hunt for fun.

Leopards like to wander around, so it's not uncommon for them to hide in this forest. You've never been to the enclosure, so you don't know that this is normal."

Wei Yanwan looked at the emperor with admiration, and after hesitating for a long time, she said, "Your Majesty knows a lot, and I am grateful for your advice.

However, the man next to the leopard looks very familiar. If it weren't for the emperor and him today, I'm afraid I would have died here.

Thinking about it now, I am really scared. If I were to...what would happen to our Jingyan?"

The emperor then remembered Ling Yunche who was still guarding the leopard's corpse.

"It's not surprising that you look familiar with him. Ling Yunche was once my imperial guard. You must have seen him in the palace before.

By the way, Ling Yunche, remember to collect your reward when you return."

"Your Majesty, I thank you for your grace."

Ling Yunche knelt on the ground and bowed his head respectfully, as if he had never heard Wei Yanwan talking about him with the emperor. He seemed much more mature and steady.

The emperor waved his hand and ignored the matter. He pulled the reins and took Wei Yanwan back.

Ling Yunche still kept his eyes down and remained silent. After a long time, he dared to look up at the blurry figure from afar, with an unreadable expression in his eyes.

Colleagues on the side kept congratulating Ling Yunche for his achievement and clamored for him to treat them to drinks in the evening.

Ling Yunche forced himself to smile appropriately, clasped his fists and responded to each request.

Only a round-faced man avoided the crowd and whispered in confusion, "Ling Yunche, are you stupid?

You were the one who shot the leopard. Why did you change the arrow feathers and refuse the prize?"

Ling Yunche just smiled calmly, "This leopard was originally domesticated by the people in the enclosure to help the emperor with his hunting pleasure.

The only person who can pull this off is the Emperor. If I hadn't seen someone about to die in danger today, I wouldn't have taken action.

As subjects, our first duty is not to ruin the emperor's mood."

The round-faced man suddenly bumped Ling Yunche's shoulder and said, "You are really becoming more and more smooth, and you look more and more like an official."

After returning to the enclosure, the emperor originally planned to let Wei Yanwan go back to the tent to rest for a while.

But Wei Yanwan refused, and pestered the emperor, saying that she was afraid, and weakly kept the man in her tent.

In addition to the leopard, the emperor also hunted several deer and roe deer during the day.

As she was in the enclosure without any restrictions, Wei Yanwan specially presented deer blood wine to Jin in order to nourish her body.

After drinking the wine, the emperor felt a lot more energetic, and he felt that Wei Yanwan was very soothing and pleasing.

Listening to the sounds of the Emperor and Wei Yanwan having fun in the main tent, Concubine Ying and Noble Lady Ke in the other tent were not so happy.

This tent has no soundproofing at all. Concubine Ke tore off a leg of lamb and handed it to Concubine Ying, but Concubine Ying was too annoyed to eat it.

"This Lingpin, when she was in the palace, would have evil ideas and try to abduct the emperor.

Now in Mulan Paddock, she always acts like a delicate dodder, attracting the emperor's pity.

When I was at home, my mother was very strict with her concubines, so they were supposed to be obedient. How could they dare to compete for my favor like this?"

Concubine Ke sneered and shook her head, "That's right. The current queen only cares about taking care of her pregnancy and doesn't care about the affairs of the harem at all.

Imperial Concubine Yu would indeed take care of it, but she only took care of palace affairs and would never suppress the concubines' vying for favors and coquettishness.

Concubine Chun only has her brothers in her eyes, and Concubine Hui has been recuperating from an illness for a long time. She only cares about her own happiness and doesn't care about the emperor's favor at all.

Looking at the whole palace, we are the only sisters who are of Mongolian origin and can be of one mind. "

Yingpin sighed, "This Qing Dynasty is really different from my mother's family. When the emperor doted on me, he never kept the lights on all night and laughed so wildly.

When we return to the palace, we must talk to the Empress and ask her to take care of Lingpin."

Concubine Ke was not as naive as Concubine Ying. She swallowed a mouthful of mutton and raised her eyebrows, saying, "Do you think the Queen will control Concubine Ling? I don't think so.

You know, this Lingpin was not originally on the list of this tour."

Yingpin picked up the milk tea and said a little uncomfortably, "Of course I know about this.

When she heard that her rabbit had died, she was in the imperial garden grieving for her rabbit when she was encountered by the emperor. The emperor was moved and brought her along.

Isn't it that she relies on this despicable method of intercepting other people's grace to win favor? Is there anything wrong with that? "

"Of course it's inappropriate." Concubine Ke put down the lamb leg, leaned forward, and whispered, "I heard that before this, the Queen Mother had summoned Concubine Ling to the Cining Palace.

Otherwise, how could Lingpin have thought of a way to attract the emperor's attention, and insisted on coming to the Mulan Paddock even though she couldn't ride a horse?"

Yingpin widened her eyes in surprise, and after thinking for a moment, she lowered her voice and said, "Are you saying that Lingpin is the Queen Mother's person? It's not good to make up such a thing without evidence."

Concubine Ke said nonchalantly, "Yingpin, although you are slightly younger than me, we entered the palace at the same time, and your family background and status are higher than mine, so I will also call you sister.

However, Sister Yingpin, you are too naive. In this palace, not everything needs evidence. Some things can only be understood, not expressed in words. "

Yingpin nodded thoughtfully, only to find that Wei Yanwan's laughter in her ears became even more harsh.

Everyone knew something about the discord between the Empress Dowager and the Emperor, but everyone pretended to be deaf and dumb and didn't dare to speak out.

If Lingpin is really the empress dowager's person, she can also flatter the emperor in various ways and win his favor. The scheming behind it is very intriguing.

Wei Yanwan couldn't ride a horse, which was a shortcoming, but she relied on this ability to keep the emperor by her side every day.

The emperor accompanied her in practicing horse riding from sunrise to sunset.

For a time, Wei Yanwan was the only one favored by the emperor in Mulan Paddock and was the most popular person.

Yingpin and Ke Guiren were very dissatisfied, and took the opportunity of paying respects to the high-ranking concubines to give Wei Yanwan a good stern look.

The concubines were feeling uneasy, and Hai Lan, who was in charge of the six palaces, could no longer sit idly by.
