Chapter 205 Mei Zhuang is alert, true and false coincidences
"Sister, don't worry, I know."
"In fact, that's what we had planned. Now Chun'er has found a way to gain favor, which saves us the trouble."
Zhen Huan smiled and spoke to Shen Meizhuang.
"That's what I said, but this is completely different."
"Anyway, I really can't trust anyone too much except you, Huan'er."
Shen Meizhuang pursed her lips, sighed slightly and said.
Shen Meizhuang was completely unaware of Chun'er who was standing at the door and about to come in, and heard everything they said clearly.
Chun'er felt inexplicably aggrieved. She knew that what she was doing was not very good, but she had been in this garden for such a long time, and Sister Wan had never shown any intention of recommending her. She had no choice but to do this.
"Little Master."
The maid beside her looked at Chun'er with some worry, as she looked aggrieved.
"It's okay. It's normal for Sister Wan to be angry."
Chun'er pursed her lips and tried to pretend that she heard nothing, but she couldn't smile in front of Sister Wan and Sister Mei as she usually did.
She curled her lips and walked inside.
"Greetings to the two sisters."
Chun'er's sudden arrival made Zhen Huan and the others a little at a loss. Zhen Huan was the first to react and quickly spoke.
"Get up, get up."
"It's not the first time you come here, why are you still so polite?"
"Sister, I know that you and the Emperor have different feelings. I, I don't want to snatch it from you, sister. I, I just want to fly a kite."
For some reason, Chun'er did not directly tell Zhen Huan about her little thoughts, but instead acted innocent.
This made Zhen Huan a little unsure of how to respond.
After all, if you say this kind of thing was an unintentional act, not many people would believe it.
But Zhen Huan thought that Chun'er had always been a simple person. She was several years younger than them, so it was reasonable for her to fly a kite for fun. Perhaps this incident could really be an accident.
But Shen Meizhuang didn't think that way at all. Instead, she felt that Chun'er seemed a little guilty when she said that.
There is nothing wrong with using some harmless little tricks to win favor. Although it is not very good for her to act without consulting them, there is nothing wrong with this matter itself.
This attitude of covering up and making excuses made her seem a little hypocritical, and not as pure and innocent as she usually showed in front of them.
Shen Meizhuang looked at Huan'er, who seemed to believe Chun'er's words. She secretly made up her mind that she would keep an eye on Chun'er more for Huan'er.
If it's just for the sake of winning favor, it's harmless to have some little thoughts of your own.
But if someone had any bad intentions towards them, they would not be completely unprepared.
Now, after experiencing the fake pregnancy incident, Shen Meizhuang remains absolutely vigilant towards the people around her. After all, you can never judge a person by his appearance. She almost ruined her entire future because of her credulity towards others.
"I heard that you brought Wen Yi to your side?"
The emperor's eyes did not show much emotion. He just looked at Concubine Nian and asked calmly.
"Your Majesty, I have been under house arrest for these days. Thanks to Concubine Cao who often brings Princess Wen Yi to accompany me, I am not so lonely."
"I have been favored for many years but have not been able to get pregnant. Princess Wen Yi is cute and well-behaved. I like her very much. In addition, Concubine Cao is not feeling well now, so I took the opportunity to bring the princess over."
After Concubine Nian was stripped of her title by the Emperor, she became much more cautious and low-key in front of the Emperor than before.
She raised her eyes to the emperor's face and explained carefully.
"I see."
"But I just went to check on the princess. She used to be the most lively at this time of the year, but today she seemed a little listless. Is she feeling unwell?"
The emperor looked up at Concubine Nian and asked.
Concubine Nian didn't expect that the emperor would be so attentive and could notice something was wrong with the princess at a glance.
She blinked guiltily, thinking that she couldn't sleep yesterday because of the princess's crying, so she fed the princess some sleeping pills. Could it be that she was like this today because of the princess?
No wonder I didn’t hear much of Wen Yi’s crying during the day today.
If the emperor knew about this, he would definitely blame me.
Thinking of this, Concubine Nian stood up nervously and knelt in front of the emperor, speaking with a sad face.
"It's all my fault for not being able to take good care of the princess."
"Wen Yi is young, and you have never had a child, so why not send the child back to Concubine Cao?"
The emperor lowered his head and glanced at Concubine Nian who was kneeling on the ground. Seeing her pitiful appearance, the emperor felt soft-hearted for a moment and his tone became a little softer.
She naturally knew that Concubine Nian was not someone who liked children. Now that she had brought Wen Yi to her side, she just wanted to use Wen Yi to win favor. He could see through all these little thoughts clearly.
He naturally knew that the concubines would use some harmless little tricks to compete for his favor, but he would not care too much about it most of the time. After all, they acted like this because they loved him too much.
Just like Chun Changzai whom he met by chance in the garden a few days ago, he couldn't believe that he could run into her by such a coincidence in such a big garden.
However, whether it was a true coincidence or a false coincidence made no difference to him, he didn't care about these things.
If he likes someone, he will favor him. If he doesn't like someone, he won't even look at him.
As for Concubine Nian, she was probably feeling a little nervous due to the neglect she had received some time ago, so she hugged Wen Yi over.
He originally thought that the bottle of Luozidai he gave her would be enough to calm her emotions, but he didn't expect that she was still unsatisfied and even used his offspring to compete for favor, which was a big taboo.
He would never allow anyone to have any thoughts about his child, and he came here today to warn Concubine Nian.
"Your Majesty, it's not that I don't want to send the princess back, but Concubine Cao is very ill, and I'm really afraid that she will be infected, so she was sent to me."
Concubine Nian naturally couldn't understand the twists and turns in the emperor's mind. Although she was now more cautious when facing the emperor, the arrogance she had developed over the years caused her to be unable to keenly perceive the warning in the emperor's words.
Now that Wen Yi has arrived at her place, the emperor will naturally come to her place to visit Wen Yi.
With Wen Yi in her hands, she no longer had to look forward to the emperor's arrival all the time, so even though the emperor took the initiative to say this, she was still reluctant to send Wen Yi back.
