Xianqing Hall.
Caiwei brought out plates of exquisite pastries: "Mom, these are egg tarts, they taste great."
"This is a puff, with cream inside, and it's delicious."
"This is milk tea..."
"This is Guiling Gao..."
She pushed all the pastries in front of Liu Wanyue and looked at her with bright eyes: "These are the delicacies of my hometown, you can try them."
The usual gentle smile on Liu Wanyue's face seemed a little stiff.
She covered her lips and coughed softly: "Sister Wei Bi, why don't you go to the Yangxin Hall to serve His Majesty?"
Over the years, she has been the exclusive favor of Emperor Wu Shun, and she is satisfied.
The harem is a place where new people replace old ones, and she should get used to it.
It's just that this Wei Bin is really acting out of common sense.
Run to her every day.
No one in Yangxin Hall has seen her running so frequently.
Caiwei curled her lips: "What's so good about Your Majesty... No, His Majesty is busy and it's not convenient for me to disturb him."
Just as she finished speaking, Nanny Qin walked into the main hall and said to Caiwei, "Ms. Wei, Your Majesty asked Eunuch Gao to take you to the Yangxin Hall for dinner."
Caiwei: "..."
The slap in the face came a little too quickly.
She touched her nose and threw the dough balls away, "My queen, can I accompany you to have a meal at Xianqing Hall?"
Before Liu Wanyue could refuse, she sniffed pitifully: "I entered the palace alone. When I see you, I feel like I am seeing my own sister."
"I want to learn more about the rules from you, so as not to offend His Majesty when I move my head."
Looking at the face that was almost exactly the same as her own, with a pitiful expression, Liu Wanyue's expression suddenly became a little hard to express.
Finally, she sighed softly.
That's all, she's still a child.
"Mammy, please reply to Your Majesty and say that Wei Bin is having dinner at the Xianqing Hall."
Nanny Qin looked hesitant: "Mother, Eunuch Gao said that your Majesty has already prepared meals in the Yangxin Hall."
Caiwei squinted her eyes, revealing a coldness that was inconsistent with her age, "Mother Qin, please reply to Eunuch Gao, just as I said, you need to ask the imperial concubine for advice on how to serve the emperor."
"Ahem..." Liu Wanyue almost choked on her own saliva.
Caiwei pushed Nanny Qin away, patted her back, and handed her the milk tea distressedly, "Drink some milk tea."
Aunt Qin: "..."
Why does she feel that Wei Bi's brain is a little abnormal?
Instead of busy competing for favor, he comes to the empress every day to eat and drink.
That's not right, Empress Wei Bi was just a little diligent in visiting the Xianqing Palace.
But she also goes to other palaces every day.
The Hall of Nourishing Heart.
Emperor Wu Shun listened to Gao Hai's report and put down the memorial in his hand.
He raised his hand and pinched the center of his eyebrows, his eyes a little dazed, "Gao Hai, is Wei Bin really similar to Wan'er?"
Gao Hai lowered his head: "Your Majesty, haven't you already made a decision in your mind?"
Emperor Wu Shun closed his eyes and leaned back on the chair with a slightly tired expression.
"When I see Wei Bin, it's like seeing Wan'er in her youth."
Gao Hai poured a cup of tea, walked behind Emperor Wu Shun and massaged his temples without saying a word.
"Has the third daughter-in-law entered the palace?"
"When Empress Wei Bi went to the Xianqing Palace, the imperial concubine sent someone to invite her. Counting the time, it's almost time."
"Go pick her up and let her come to the Heart Cultivation Palace first."
Gao Hai sounded anxious: "Your Majesty, are you feeling uncomfortable somewhere?"
"No, go ahead." Emperor Wu Shun raised his hands to cover his eyes.
As soon as Su Ruotang entered the palace gate, he was stopped by Gao Hai, "Your Highness, Third Imperial Concubine, Your Majesty invites you to go to the Palace of Cultivation of Heart."
Su Ruotang and Mo Rongyan looked at each other and followed Gao Hai to the Nourishing Heart Hall.
When the two came in, Emperor Wu Shun was sitting on a low couch by the window, reading a memorial.
Seeing the two of them, he pointed to the opposite side and said, "Sit down."
He handed the folder in his hand to Mo Ronyan: "Take a look."
Mo Ronyan reached out to take it, took a look at it, and handed the memorial back to Emperor Wu Shun, "My son feels that the second brother is indeed suitable for the position of crown prince."
Emperor Wu Shun looked at him with complicated eyes: "Lao San, do you really not want this position?"
"Father, I am willing to assist my second brother."
Emperor Wu Shun tapped his knuckles on the table: "The second brother is too kind-hearted."
The implication is that he is not meant to be an emperor.
Mo Rongyan said calmly: "Being kind-hearted doesn't mean you can't distinguish between right and wrong."
Emperor Wu Shun took a sip of tea and turned to look at Su Ruotang, "Third daughter-in-law, what do you think?"
Su Ruotang: "..."
She complained secretly in her mind, and I watched it with my quick hands.
But her face was extremely well-behaved: "Father, my daughter-in-law only knows how to see a doctor."
Emperor Wu Shun stretched out his hand: "Okay, you who only know how to see a doctor, please take my pulse."
When Su Ruotang entered the Yangxin Hall, Gu Die had been sleeping.
Only when he sat opposite Emperor Wu Shun did he wake up for a few breaths.
Then he slept quietly in his sleeves.
Su Ruotang blinked and placed his fingertips on Emperor Wu Shun's wrist veins.
After a moment, the tail of her delicate eyebrows slightly twisted.
Emperor Wu Shun's eyes flashed with color, and he straightened his sleeves slowly, "Is it a Gu?"
Su Ruotang said softly: "It's Zi Gu, its function is similar to the Love Gu."
"Love Gu..." Emperor Wu Shun murmured, "Is the mother Gu on Wei Bin?"
Su Ruotang: "I'm not sure. I have to feel the pulse to find out."
Emperor Wu Shun nodded lightly: "Let's go to Xianqing Palace for dinner later."
After finishing speaking, he glanced at Mo Ronyan, sighed, and slowly said, "I'm sorry for Wan'er."
Mo Ronyan pinched the fingertips that the little jade cat was playing with and gave it a pause.
Then he raised his eyes and looked at Emperor Wu Shun calmly, "Mother and Concubine are used to it."
Emperor Wu Shun smiled bitterly: "Lao San, do you think Wan'er will blame me?"
Mo Ronyan said lightly: "No."
Heartbroken.
Of course I won't complain.
"That's all, I'm sorry for Wan'er after all." Emperor Wu Shun hid the bitterness in his eyes.
Su Ruotang hesitated for a moment and said, "Father, most of the ministers in the court have been poisoned."
After she raised the Gu butterflies, she let them mix among the butterflies and searched the homes of all the courtiers.
More or less, there are traces of the existence of Gu insects.
There was no surprise in Emperor Wu Shun's eyes: "Lao Si couldn't bear it anymore after all."
