Chapter 279
Have you heard that at today’s palace banquet, the Crown Princess made things difficult by ordering Lady Officer Ling to serve the Great Grandson Consort her meal!”Who else doesn’t know about this
∈ I also heard that after seeing this, His Highness, the Great Sun, became furious and rebuked the Great Sun Consort in public!”It’s pitiful that Consort Taisun was treated so coldly just after she was married”That’s true!
The most fortunate one is Ms Ling
I don’t know how she got into the eyes of His Highness the Great Sun, but she’ll be rich and famous in the future”Maybe there’s a reason why she’s in the palace as an officer
Otherwise, why would the Empress call her to the palace for no reason?
It’s not likely that she’ll be given a marriage someday, so that she can marry Tai Sun as a side consort in style!”Yes, such good fortune, it is really enviable “In just a few days, all kinds of gossip spread rapidly in the palace
Not only were the palace maids and chambermaids talking privately, even the concubines in the palace couldn’t help but whisper a few words when they came togetherSister Wei, you saw the situation that day with your own eyes
I really didn’t expect that the Imperial Grandson would favor a female official”
The one who came to gossip was the not-so-highly-ranked Wang Meiren
Wang Mei Ren was in her twenties, just at the right age, and quite popular with the Emperor
Unfortunately, in the past few months, the emperor has been sick, Wang Mei Ren did not have the opportunity to serve bed, can not help but some loneliness
From time to time to the concubines to walk around, say some gossip to relieve boredom
It is also one of the concubines most like gossip rumors
Wei Jieyu glanced at the excited Wang Meiren, said faintly: “Wang sister can be cautious
You need to know that trouble comes from the mouth, and you can’t talk nonsense without a shadow”
Wang Beauty defiantly argued, “How am I talking nonsense
At that time, Emperor Taisun had a furious look on his face, and everyone could see it in their eyes
If he didn’t have admiration in his heart, how could the Imperial Great-grandson stand up for Lady Ling in a fit of rage”
Wei Jieyu frowned, her voice cold, “The Imperial Great-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, zither, chess, calligraphy and painting can all pass the time
It’s better to keep this gossip to a minimum”
Beauty Wang touched a snub, resentfully shut her mouth, sat down briefly for a moment, and quickly left
Wei Jieyu sighed long and hard with a worried look on her face
These gossips had spread to everyone, pushing Ling Jingshu to the tip of the storm
There was no telling how it would end
Xin Yun quietly walked over and reported in a low voice, “Your Highness, Imperial Doctor Wei has come to seek an audience”
Wei Jieyu came back to her senses and said busily, “Quickly let him in”
The two siblings were in the same palace, and the chances of meeting were not too many
Every few days, Wei Jieyu would order someone to summon Wei Yan to Lingbo Hall
Wei Yan took the initiative to come to Lingbo Hall, but very little
Today it is rare to take the initiative to come over, there must be something important
Wei Jieyu commanded, letting all the palace maids and chambermaids retreat, then looked at Wei Yan: “Ayan, you came over on purpose, is there something you want to find me?”
Wei Yan didn’t have the heart to beat around the bush, nodded and said, “Yes, I came to ask you for something”Just say whatever you have to say
It’s not too raw to say this to me”
Wei Jieyu glared at Wei Yan angrily
A warm feeling surged in Wei Yan’s heart
Elder sister had always loved him
Ever since he was young, no matter what he opened his mouth to ask for, she would always answer without hesitationEldest sister,” the restlessness in Wei Yan’s heart subsided quite a bit, and he said in a low voice, “In these past few days, you should have heard those rumors spreading in the palace!”
Wei Jieyu sighed lightly, “In this palace, who else doesn’t know?
I won’t hide it from you, before you came, the Wang Beauty who came to spread the gossip had just left
Although I don’t want to listen to this, I can’t control what other people’s mouths say”
After a pause, she added, “After A Shu entered the palace, she has always been discreet and low-profile, never publicizing herself
Every day, she honestly works as an official, and almost never leaves the Pepper Room Hall
Unfortunately, she doesn’t want to stir up trouble, but trouble refuses to let her go
This time, she has shown her face in the palace”
It should be a good thing to show your face
However, the palace is a place of law and order where things are born out of nothing
For Ling Jingshu to be in the limelight like this was by no means a good thing for her
These words, Wei Jieyu did not say, Wei Yan also knew it in his heart
Wei Yan remained silent for a moment and blamed himself in a low voice, “I’m really useless
Still saying that I want to protect her, when I encountered such a matter, I couldn’t even do anything about it, and I could only come to ask for your help”
Wei Jieyu had long guessed Wei Yan’s intention and smiled bitterly, “Ah Yan, I know you like her in your heart
To be honest, I also like Ah Shu very much
If the two of you can tie the knot together in the future, I, as an elder sister, will also be able to rest assured”But what is the situation now?
On the second day of the Emperor’s grandson’s wedding, he angrily rebuked Consort Taisun over Ling Jingshu
As long as you have a brain, you can see what weight Ling Jingshu has in the heart of the Imperial Great-grandson
Do you still want to compete with the Imperial Great-grandson?”Ah Yan, I only wish for you to be safe and sound
Don’t do anything stupid!”
Competing with the Emperor Taisun for a woman, Wei Yan would definitely lose!
Wei Yan didn’t explain anything, only whispered, “Big sister, don’t worry, I won’t do anything impulsive and reckless”
After so many years in the palace, he had long since learned to hold back and wait
Holding back in front of a flaming power was not cowardice, but rather a way to preserve himself for the future
Waiting in an aggressive situation is not giving up, but waiting for the best time
Wei Jieyu saw Wei Yan look calm as usual, then slightly relieved: “You know the importance of good
By the way, what exactly is it that you want me to help with?”
Wei Yan lowered his voice and whispered a few words
Wei Jieyu was dumbfounded for a moment before smiling helplessly, “It’s just that!
For your sake, I’ll oblige”
Wei Yan raised his head, a look of gratitude on his face, “Thank you big sister, I know that this time the matter has made things difficult for you
However, in order to avoid suspicion, I was really inconvenienced to make a move myself, so I could only beg to come to you”Alright, what’s the point of being polite with me”
Wei Jieyu smiled and said, “Just relax and go back!”
For Ling Jingshu, these past few days were also exceptionally difficult
On the surface, she was calm as usual, doing whatever she needed to do
But she couldn’t stop the crowd from looking at her differently
Wherever she went, she would provoke ambiguous and unknown stares from the crowd
As soon as she turned around, she heard whispers behind her
A few female officials whose original relationship was still quite passable, their tone of voice was also very different from before
Some were conspiratorial, some were cynical, and some were curt and flattering
The original face that was still quite kind and friendly suddenly changed its appearance, revealing a side that was acerbic or hypocritical to the extreme
The life that was originally quite adapted and integrated has also turned upside down in just a few days
