Chapter 279 Rumors 1

"Have you heard that at today's palace banquet, the Crown Princess deliberately made things difficult and ordered Lady Officer Ling to serve the Grand Concubine at her meal?"

"Who doesn't know about this? I also heard that after His Highness saw it, he became furious and rebuked Concubine Taisun in public!"

"It's really pitiful that the concubine was treated coldly just after she got married."

"Isn't that right! The luckiest one is Miss Ling. I don't know why she fell in the eyes of His Highness Taisun. Such glory and wealth will be indispensable in the future."

"Perhaps she has some secret reasons for joining the palace as a female official. Otherwise, why would the Queen summon her to the palace for no reason? Maybe one day she will be given a marriage and she can marry her grandson in all glory. Being a concubine!"

"Yes, such good luck is really enviable..."

In just a few days, all kinds of rumors quickly spread in the palace.

Not only the maids and chamberlains discussed it privately, but even the concubines in the palace couldn't help but whisper a few words when they got together.

"Sister Wei, you saw what happened that day with your own eyes. I never thought that the emperor's grandson would favor Miss Ling." The person who gossiped was Miss Wang, who was not of high rank.

Wang Meiren is in her twenties, a young woman, and quite popular with the emperor. It's a pity that the emperor has been recovering from illness in the past few months, and Beauty Wang has no chance to sleep with him, so she can't help but feel a little lonely. He would often visit the concubines and chat with them to relieve his boredom. She is also the one who likes to gossip the most among the concubines.

Wei Jieyu glanced at the excited Wang Meiren and said calmly: "Sister Wang, you should be more careful when you speak. You must know that trouble comes from your mouth, and you can't talk about things that have no shadow."

Wang Meiren argued unconvincingly: "Why did I talk nonsense? At that time, the emperor's grandson had an angry look on his face, and everyone saw it. If he didn't have admiration, how could the emperor's grandson be so angry? Stand up for Miss Ling."

Wei Jieyu frowned and her voice became colder: "The emperor's grandson's behavior that day was indeed a bit strange. However, it is not our turn to speculate. If Sister Wang has nothing to do, she can play chess, calligraphy and painting. Time. It’s better to stop talking about this.”

Wang Meiren was disappointed, closed her mouth angrily, sat for a while, and left quickly.

Wei Jieyu let out a long sigh with a worried look on her face.

Everyone knew about these gossips, which pushed Ling Jingshu to the forefront. Don't know how it will end.

Xinyun walked over quietly and reported in a low voice: "Your Majesty, Imperial Physician Wei is here to see you."

Wei Jieyu came to her senses and hurriedly said: "Let him in quickly."

…

The two siblings were in the palace together, so they didn't have many opportunities to meet. Wei Jieyu would order someone to summon Wei Yan to Lingbo Hall every few days.

Wei Yan took the initiative to come to Lingbo Hall, but there were very few of them.

It's rare for me to take the initiative to come over today, there must be something important.

Wei Jieyu ordered all the palace maids and chamberlains to retreat, and then looked at Wei Yan: "Ayan, you came here specially, do you want to see me for anything?"

Wei Yan didn't want to beat around the bush, nodded and said, "Yes, I'm here to ask you something."

"Just say what you have to say. It's not too disrespectful to say this to me." Wei Jieyu rolled her eyes at Wei Yan angrily.

Wei Yan felt a sense of warmth in his heart. The eldest sister has always loved him. Ever since she was little, no matter what he asked for, she would always grant it without hesitation.

"Sister," Wei Yan's impatience and uneasiness had subsided a lot, and he whispered: "You should have heard the rumors circulating in the palace these days!"

Wei Jieyu sighed softly: "Who else in this palace doesn't know? To be honest, before you came, the beauty Wang who came to spread gossip had just left. Although I don't want to hear this, I can't help it. What other people’s mouths say.”

After a pause, he continued: "A'shu has been cautious and low-key since entering the palace and never made any publicity. She worked honestly every day and almost never left the Jiaofang Palace. It's a pity that she didn't want to cause trouble, and the right and wrong refused to let her go. . This time, she showed her face in the palace."

Being visible should be a good thing.

However, this palace is a place of right and wrong where even if nothing happens, something will happen. It is definitely not a good thing for Ling Jingshu to be in such "limelight".

Although Wei Jieyu didn't say these words, Wei Yan also knew them well.

Wei Yan was silent for a moment and blamed himself in a low voice: "I am really useless. I also said that I wanted to protect her. When encountering such a thing, I can't do anything. I can only ask you for help."

Wei Jieyu had already guessed Wei Yan's intention. She smiled bitterly when she heard this and said: "Ayan, I know you like her in your heart. To be honest, I also like Ah Shu very much. If you two can get married together in the future, I will do this My sister can rest assured."

"But what is the situation now? On the second day after the wedding, the emperor's grandson angrily scolded the imperial concubine for Ling Jingshu. Just how important Ling Jingshu is in the emperor's heart can be seen if you have a brain. Do you still want to be with the emperor's concubine? Is it possible for Sun Yi to compete?"

"Ayan, I just hope you are safe and sound. Don't do anything stupid!"

If he competes with the emperor's grandson for a woman, Wei Yan will definitely lose!

Wei Yan didn't explain anything, only whispered: "Sister, don't worry, I won't do anything impulsive or reckless."

After so many years in the palace, he had already learned to be patient and wait.

To endure in the face of arrogant power is not cowardice, but to protect oneself for the future.

Waiting in an aggressive situation is not about giving up, but waiting for the best opportunity.

Seeing Wei Yan's calm expression, Concubine Wei was slightly relieved: "It's good that you know the importance. By the way, what exactly do you want me to help you with?"

Wei Yan lowered his voice and whispered a few words.

Concubine Wei was silent for a moment, then smiled helplessly: "Forget it! For your sake, I will agree."

Wei Yan raised his head and said with gratitude: "Thank you, sister, I know this matter has embarrassed you. However, in order to avoid suspicion, it is really inconvenient for me to do it myself, so I have to ask you for help."

"Okay, why are you being polite to me." Concubine Wei smiled and said: "Just relax and go back!"

...

For Ling Jingshu, these few days have been particularly difficult.

On the surface, she is calm as usual and does what she should do. But she can't stop the strange looks from everyone.

No matter where she goes, she will attract the ambiguous attention of everyone. As soon as she turned around, she heard whispers behind her. The tone of voice of the several female officials who had been on good terms with me before was also very different from before.

Some were sarcastic, some were mocking, and some were flattering.

The faces that were originally kind and friendly suddenly changed, revealing a sarcastic or extremely hypocritical side.

The life that I had adapted to and integrated into was also turned upside down in just a few days.
