==Chapter 20 Rumors==

Chang Ge and Ling Que saw the emperor leave Jinlan Garden with a cold face.

This move was understood as leaving angrily.

She was rejected after being favored for the first time, and Qin Juan seemed to have become a joke in the palace.

Xianfu Palace was the first to know about this.

Concubine Xue and Concubine Li were playing chess in the pavilion. Concubine Xue threw the white piece into the chess basket and asked doubtfully: "You said His Majesty just left?"

Chang Ge nodded and said: "Yes, when His Majesty walked out of Jinlan Garden, his brows were already furrowed with anger, and all the slaves saw it."

Concubine Xue frowned and said, "Did you hear what His Majesty said?"

His Majesty has always been difficult to distinguish between happiness and anger. Even the civil and military officials could not figure out the emperor's thoughts. What on earth did Beauty Qin do to offend the Holy Face to this extent?

Could it be related to that painting?

Chang Ge clenched his sleeves and said, "I didn't hear anything, I just saw... I saw Beauty Qin chasing her to the door, and His Majesty didn't look back."

Oh, this means that you can’t keep people even if you stay.

Concubine Xue picked up the tea cup, took a sip, and said with a smile: "It seems that our Qin beauty is really lucky."

Chang Ge continued: "Is that slave still serving you in Jinlan Garden?"

"It's a good service, don't let anyone find fault." Concubine Xue put a bag full of gold leaves on the long singer and said: "Your Majesty is disgusted, isn't there still a concubine to protect you?"

Chang Ge possessed him and said: "I understand, I thank you so much."

Soon, the news that Beauty Qin was rejected by His Majesty reached Cining Palace.

The Queen Mother frowned and said: "You just accepted the favor, but you are tired of it?"

Gonggong Zhang said: "I heard from the young men outside that Beauty Qin has been begging Your Majesty, but she has not been able to retain her."

The Queen Mother rubbed her temples and said, "The Ai family can't take care of this kind of thing, let the harem deal with it."

Gong Gong Zhang said: "Yes, then the slave has retired."

After Eunuch Zhang left, he looked at the two laughing little eunuchs outside and said, "This matter must not be publicized everywhere, so watch your heads carefully."

The two young eunuchs laughed and said: "My father-in-law said yes, the slaves will remember it."

As soon as Eunuch Zhang left, a young maid came over and said, "Eunuch, what is going on in Jinlan Garden?"

Eunuch A whispered: "What can happen? Beauty Qin wanted to charm the Lord, but she miscalculated."

Eunuch B said: "By the way, don't tell anyone. Eunuch Zhang said, watch your head carefully."

The little palace maid immediately said: "Don't worry, father-in-law, I will keep secret about this kind of thing, otherwise I will be asked to be on duty on a rainy day."

Late autumn.

Shang Gongju is currently making winter clothes, which is the busiest time.

The director and female historian of Shang Gong Bureau said while embroidering the cloaks of the empresses of each palace, "Have you heard?"

The female historian said: "What?"

The controller said: "That night, Beauty Qin from Jinlan Garden actually wore her favorite braided gauze, but she was rejected by His Majesty."

Nv Shi’s eyes widened and she asked, “Are you wearing your favorite style?”

The controller nodded, curled his lips and said, "Yes, I don't know where Beauty Qin got it from."

The female historian murmured: "Then Beauty Qin is too courageous."

The controller said: "Who doesn't want favors in this harem, but there are some things, haste makes waste. Well, I only told you about this, you must not spread it."

The female historian nodded and said: "Don't worry, Commander, if this slave is rumored to be rumored, I will be struck by thunder."

"Look at you, I'm just giving you instructions."

Wanshou Festival will be in two days. Among the six bureaus and one department, the one that is busier than Shang Gong Bureau is Shang Yi Bureau.

After all, court meetings, banquets, music, and imperial affairs are all in charge of the Shangyi Bureau.

The guest in charge said to the young daughter Shi: "Go and ask the ladies in each palace if there is anyone who wants to perform a dance for His Majesty. If so, then prepare the music with Zhang Siyue."

The female historian said: "Then... Jinlanyuan, are we still going?"

The guest in charge lowered his eyes and said, "I don't know whether Beauty Qin's injury is good or not."

The female historian’s face suddenly turned pale, “Your Majesty, did you beat her?”

The host pointed at his face and said, "I heard that she didn't go to the Dowager Palace yesterday just to recuperate from her injuries."

The female historian covered her mouth and whispered: "How could your majesty hit her? This beauty Qin is really pitiful."

The host patted the female historian on the shoulder and said: "She was beaten for her own reasons. Hey, beauty Qin is still a concubine after all. You'd better go there later."

Nv Shi nodded.

One pass to ten, ten to a hundred.

In less than three days, Qin Juan has become a delicate flower swept by the strong wind.

The petals have fallen and the leaves have withered. Anyone who passes by Jinlan Garden will sigh, "It's pitiful."

Although Mrs. Sun would not believe all the rumors, she knew in her heart that if she was really favored, it would never be like this.

Taifei Sun lowered her eyes for a long time, looked at Xiao Yun who was looking at her eagerly, and said: "Go and ask Beauty Qin to come over."

As soon as he heard this, Xiao Yun tapped his toes like a trot.

Nanny Yuan hesitated and said: "This..."

Taifei Sun said: "As long as Your Majesty doesn't tell you everything, it doesn't matter."

After being summoned by the concubine, Qin Juan finally breathed a sigh of relief.

In the past two days, everyone looked at her with weirder looks, but she couldn't explain anything.

Why did that person leave? She was also thinking about it.

Is it possible that he also had strange dreams?

Qin Chan said politely: "I would like to express my regards to the concubine."

Looking at her increasingly thin face, the concubine couldn't help but think of Aling, and sighed: "Don't be discouraged, just come to my place every day in the future."

Qin Juan smiled and said: "Thank you, Princess."

"Good child." The concubine patted her shoulder, coughed for a moment, then stood up and said, "You stay here and talk to Yun'er, I'll go and rest for a while."

After the concubine left, only mother and son were left in the room.

Xiao Yun looked at Qin Juan and felt that his mother had lost weight in the past few days. He quickly walked over and took her hand.

Qin Juan looked at her fleshy little hands and said, "Have you listened carefully to the concubine in the past two days?"

Xiao Yun nodded and whispered: "Yes."

As long as Qin Juan looked at Xiao Yun, all her worries were swept away.

Xiao Yun imitated the way the concubine usually treated her, squeezed Qin Juan's palm, and whispered: "Eat well."

Qin Yan's eyebrows instantly turned into a smile and she said, "Okay, I remember."

Xiao Yun is over three years old, and the Taifu has already started asking him to write.

Qin Juan stood behind him, holding his hand and practicing calligraphy with him, but the little prince was not honest, he would write horizontally, vertically, horizontally, and he would often look back at Qin Juan before he finished writing.

As soon as the person turns around, his hands can no longer be taken care of.

The wolf hair whirled around, and the ink flew in all directions.

After a while, the hands and fronts of these two people were decorated with ink dots.

But Xiao Yun didn't think it was a mistake, the word happiness was written on his face.

Qin Juan looked at him in a daze.

She knows that she should be content.

But occasionally she couldn't help but regret that she had missed this child for three years. Three years, if she were here, wouldn't he be able to speak long ago?

But there are no what-ifs in life.

Her absence is the best thing for him.

Xue Lanyi always resisted her, but there was one thing she said rightly - "The Zhou Dynasty should not have a queen who collaborates with the enemy and treason, and a prince should not have such a mother."

Xiao Yun looked at Qin Juan's reddish eyes and whispered quickly: "Mother, don't cry."

Qin Juan's heart felt as if someone had pinched her heart hard. Her fingertips trembled and she said with a smile: "I told you not to call me queen."

Xiao Yun said: "Auntie, is that okay?"

Qin Juan took a deep breath.

How should she answer this?

Xiao Yun stretched out a finger and clasped his ear.

This means that others cannot hear it.

Qin Juan touched his forehead with her forehead.

Xiao Yun rubbed it.

*******

The Yangxin Hall was gloomy for three days.

Eunuch Sheng analyzed it and found that there were three reasons. First, there was a severe drought in Henan; second, His Majesty advocated equalizing taxes and easing the people's poverty, but he had frequent disputes with the cabinet; third, it was probably related to Jinlan Garden.

When mentioning the Qin beauty, Eunuch Sheng couldn't help but let out a long sigh.

Sure enough, no matter how much she looks like her, she is not the queen.

Your Majesty has never slammed the door of Kunning Palace.

At three o'clock in the morning, Lu Ze appeared in the Yangxin Hall again.

This time Eunuch Sheng looked at him and couldn't help laughing. He said respectfully: "Commander Lu, please enter the palace."

Lu Ze frowned, "Father-in-law, what's going on today?"

Eunuch Sheng followed Lu Ze and whispered: "Your Majesty dropped no less than three folds today. We advise the commander to report good news as much as possible and not to worry."

Lu Ze smiled and pointed at the strategy in his hand, "Don't worry."

Lu Ze bowed and said: "I pay my respects to Your Majesty."

As soon as he finished speaking, Xiao Yu took his hand away from his forehead, raised his head and said, "What's the matter?"

Lu Ze presented the strategy in his hand and said, "If I didn't say it with my own eyes, I would never believe it. This strategy came from the preliminary examination of the martial arts examination, not the imperial examination."

Eunuch Sheng behind the curtain pricked up his ears.

Well, that's a good thing.

Xiao Yu could not help but nod after reading it, and Lu Zedao said: "This is written by the son of Qin Taishi."

The eldest son of Qin Taishi?

Xiao Yu looked at the title area and saw that the words Qin Suizhi were indeed written on it.

He remembered that this was Qin Meiren’s brother.

Xiao Yu looked at the strategy in his hand and whispered: "With such talent, why doesn't he take part in the imperial examination?"

Lu Zedao: "This matter is a long story, but it is probably related to the affairs of the Qin family's inner house."

Xiao Yu nodded and did not ask again, but said directly: "The Tao and the Ministry of War want this person."

"Wei Chen understands."

Lu Ze retreated.

A strong wind suddenly hit, and the little eunuchs quickly went to close the windows.

In the blink of an eye, there was a heavy downpour. The heavy rain hit the eaves of the house with a crackling sound, and a mist filled the ground.

Eunuch Sheng took the big cloak, walked around the mountains of folds, walked behind Xiao Yu, and said: "Your Majesty is still injured. It is cold in autumn, so you should wear some clothes."

With the candles brightly lit, he looked down at Zhezi in trance, seeming to remember that weird dream again.

He rested in the Yangxin Hall for the past two days and did not dream of her.

Like the past three years, no matter what he thought, she refused to enter her dream.

Eunuch Sheng was serving tea aside. Seeing that the emperor looked tired, he advised: "Your Majesty, you should rest early."

Xiao Yu glanced out the window, suddenly stood up, and said, "I'm going to Qin Meiren's place tonight."

Eunuch Sheng was stunned, and then said: "Minion, minion, go prepare the chariot right now."

Xiao Yu said: "No need."

The dark clouds were low and dark, and several maids were on duty under the eaves.

Amidst the lightning and thunder, they watched as a figure headed towards Jinlan Garden.
