    Chapter Index

    Rufeng did not ask Xia Wanyuan in detail why she changed her original intention, but she generally knew that it was probably to adopt the child left by Ling Qiaoer. What’s more, the current situation is turbulent, disputes between countries are constant, and war is about to break out. If Xia Wanyuan can win more favors, she can also protect her mother country.

    In order to avoid being favored, Xia Wanyuan had already taken down the green card on the pretext of illness. At this time, Rufeng bribed the father-in-law of Jingshifang and placed Xia Meiren’s green card in a conspicuous position. However, Emperor Ming did not touch that card for three days in a row.

    However, this was all within Rufeng’s expectation.

    The most indispensable thing in the palace is beauty. During the palace banquet, Xia Wanyuan clearly refused to be favored. Emperor Ming is the king, so when she didn’t take the initiative to cater to her, how could she easily let go of her figure?

    Rufeng just wanted to let Emperor Ming know that Xia Wansheng was now healthy and ready to sleep. Opportunities would slowly be created.

    Emperor Ming would spare a few days every month to go to Qingjing Temple to worship Buddha, and that was Xia Wan’s opportunity.

    Except for the first and fifteenth day of the lunar month, concubines could not enter the main hall. Even if they squatted at the door, they would be driven away by the guards. However, they could go directly to the backyard through the side door.

    Rufeng remembered that there was a guqin in the study room in the backyard. The Zhen clan practiced martial arts, and their women rarely learned rituals and music, and there were no concubines in the palace who knew how to play the qin.

    If Xia Wanyuan plays the zither, she will definitely attract Emperor Ming. Such a chance encounter with elegance will naturally make men more excited than those seductive methods. If Emperor Ming knows that Xia Wanyuan is different from others, then after regaining his favor, her status in Emperor Ming’s heart will naturally be different.

    When she came to the study room of Qingjing Temple again, Xia Wanyuan felt a little emotional.

    The guqin had been gathering dust for a long time, and no one had touched it for a long time. After the wind wiped the qin clean, the beauty began to caress it.

    At this time, Emperor Ming had not yet come to the temple, but Xia Wanyuan had not played for a long time, so she was inevitably unfamiliar, so she started practicing. Just after she played a song, a man suddenly came in excitedly.

    “Your Majesty is coming soon. Who is so bold that he is still here at this time…” Xia Wanyuan pressed the strings and stopped her voice. When she looked up, she found that the person was Qing Huan.

    When Qing Huan saw that it was Xia Wanyuan, she never said the half-finished rebuke in her mouth. He glanced at her, turned around, and left without looking back.

    “I’m really annoying…” Xia Wanyuan lowered her eyes and smiled bitterly.

    How can you be annoying?Rufeng sighed and poured a cup of tea: “Princess, don’t be distracted.”

    Xia Wanyuan suppressed her irritability and started playing again. She finished playing another song. Unexpectedly, Emperor Ming did not come, but instead an unexpected person came.

    Lin Xiner shook her folding fan and slowly walked into the study: “Let me tell you, why is there someone playing the piano in this Qingjing Temple? It turns out to be Sister Wan! Sister Wan has such a talent, how could she have hidden it before, and even my sister doesn’t know about it.”

    She walked to Xia Wanyuan and sat down next to her: “Sister, you are really good at talking. Let’s do this. You can also teach me.”

    As she spoke, Lin Xiner began to play with the strings like a curious child. However, as she did not understand music theory, the sounds she played were naturally unbearable and messy.

    Xia Wanan frowned, but she kindly wanted to give some advice, but unexpectedly, there was a cracking sound, and Lin Xiner actually broke two strings one after another.

    “Ah, look at me, I’m so clumsy, I broke the guqin!” Lin Xiner turned to the eunuch beside her to take the guqin away and find someone to repair it.

    The two exchanged pleasantries for a few more words, and then Lin Xiner also left.

    Without the guqin, Xia Wanyuan could not play, and after Emperor Ming paid homage, he left directly without entering the backyard.

    Several times after that, Rufeng planned to have the two of them meet by chance or attract the attention of Emperor Ming, but they were all interrupted by Lin Xiner.

    Lin Xiner had a lot of spies in the palace. If anyone tried to get close to Emperor Ming, someone would report it, and Xia Wanyuan, who was about to make a move recently, was naturally the target of special precautions.

    “Since we can’t get close to the emperor, we might as well ask the emperor to find the princess.” Lin Xiner’s interruption gave Rufeng a headache, but it didn’t bother him.

    “He came to me?”

    “Princess, do you know who your favorite concubine is now?”

    After Rufeng said this, Xia Wanyuan understood a little. He must have wanted to make friends with the beloved concubine and get a chance, but…

    “Now that Qiao’er is gone, I’m afraid it’s Concubine Xiang and Concubine Min who will be favored.”

    Concubine Min is Lin Xiner, and Concubine Xiang has already turned against Xia Wanyuan because of the fourth prince.

    “Actually, there is another person, the two noble concubines.”

    “Two noble concubines? Don’t they all say that she should not be pampered? She hasn’t slept with her in several years.”

    “As far as I know, the emperor actually hates the two concubines, but she deliberately avoids favor. It is said that she…that…” When talking about the reason, Rufeng’s expression suddenly became a little strange, as if there was something unspeakable.
