Even if they saw it, or caused some trouble in the harem, what effect would it have? In the end, wouldn't they just make themselves disliked, a loss that outweighed the gain? Why would so many people compete to do such a losing business?
Si Ying knew that her mistress was sensible, so she didn't say much. She sometimes felt that her mistress was a particularly wise person, able to guess and calculate everything, and then take preventive measures in advance.
It's just that for some reason, His Majesty had not shown any favor to the Empress. If she hadn't entered the palace, would her mistress have lived happier than now?
The Hall of Diligent Governance
As soon as Yu Jingchen finished his morning court, Xing Lai immediately came to report the events that had happened in the harem today. Yu Jingchen was not surprised. Didn't this kind of drama happen every time?
"Tell the people previously arranged at the Hall of Harmony to pay close attention. Don't let anyone take advantage of loopholes, and pay attention to Consort Shu's safety." Yu Jingchen was also a little worried. httpδ:/m.kuAisugg.nět
"Yes, we have people paying attention over there, and there will be no problem." Xing Lai knew the status of Consort Shu in His Majesty's heart now, so he had always taken it to heart.
"Prepare the imperial carriage for the Hall of Harmony." Yu Jingchen's decision surprised no one. To be honest, Xing Lai had already prepared the imperial carriage.
When Yu Jingchen arrived at the Hall of Harmony, Nan Zhiyun had not yet woken up. Just then, someone else was there who wanted to see Consort Shu, it was Zhao Zhaorong, the birth mother of the second princess.
She originally wanted to see Nan Zhiyun, but upon seeing Yu Jingchen, she immediately went up to greet him.
"Your humble concubine greets His Majesty." Zhao Zhaorong performed a graceful curtsy.
"Consort Shu is still asleep, go back." Yu Jingchen said concisely.
Zhao Zhaorong felt a moment of awkwardness.
"Your Majesty..." Zhao Zhaorong called out. Yu Jingchen glanced at her: "Do you have something else?"
"Your Majesty, please forgive me... it's just that I haven't seen Your Majesty for a long time, and Wan'er misses Your Majesty very much." Zhao Zhaorong appeared pitiful, as if wronged. Wan'er was the second princess, Yu Wan'er, who was now five years old.
"I remember Yu Wan'er should be turning six this year," Yu Jingchen suddenly recalled.
"Yes, Wan'er will turn six in March this year." Zhao Zhaorong was a little surprised, she didn't expect His Majesty to remember. Did this mean His Majesty actually still cared about them?
"You probably don't want her to leave her birth mother like the elder princess, do you?" Yu Jingchen's eyes were slightly cold.
"Your Majesty!" Zhao Zhaorong panicked upon hearing this and immediately knelt down.
"I allowed you to give birth to this child, but that doesn't mean this child is a tool for you to use schemes. If you don't care, don't cherish it, then she can naturally be someone else's." Yu Jingchen's words were very clear, and Zhao Zhaorong dared not say anything more.
"Kneel here and reflect for an hour." Yu Jingchen left after leaving this cold sentence.
Although Zhao Zhaorong was unhappy, she did not dare to say anything and could only obediently accept the punishment. Yu Jingchen remembered that in his previous life, Yu Wan'er was not at all like a princess, always timid and hesitant in everything she did.
He disliked such a personality, but... later he did favor her a little more, but it was a pity that he eventually didn't have that much patience.
Yu Jingchen stopped thinking about it and hoped that this time would be different.
He stepped into the Hall of Harmony, lifted the curtain, and smiled dotingly at the little girl sleeping soundly with a pillow in her arms.
Nan Zhiyun showed no signs of waking up. She hugged the pillow tightly, her lips slightly parted, her little face flushed with sleep, looking extremely adorable.
Yu Jingchen walked over and sat by the bed.
