Chapter 36: Su Lian proposes to win over Li Yu; Yan Wan and Yun Che
"Now that you mention it, I remember that when she and Concubine Xian entered the palace together, she broke the lotus bracelet I gave them. Now that I think about it, she did it on purpose."
Su Lian frowned: "But how did she know that we tampered with the lotus bracelet? Could it be that there is a spy around the Queen?"
After saying that, she looked at Lianxin and Suxin who were busy in the yard.
Fu Cha Langya's eyes were deep and her brows were furrowed: "Will it?"
"Your Majesty, why don't we find a way to win over Li Yu?"
Fucha Langya sighed, "Li Yu has a peculiar personality. It might be difficult to win him over."
"I heard that he has a crush on Concubine Xian's maid, Suoxin.
However,惢心 was loyal to Concubine Xian and was afraid that if the two of them got into trouble, Concubine Xian would be the one to benefit.
I also heard that Concubine Xian recently got a new maid named Rong Pei. She used to be a maid in the Old Summer Palace, but now that she is getting older and has no one else at home, she stays in the palace."
Fucha Langya felt that Su Lian was a little strange: "She's just a palace maid, why do you care so much about her?"
Su Lian lowered her voice and said, "She is the Queen Mother's person."
"How did you know this? Concubine Xian doesn't know about it, right?"
“I once saw her meet with Aunt Fujia in private.
I think the Queen Mother is also wary of Concubine Xian.
After all, you are her personally chosen wife, and Imperial Concubine Xian is only able to stay in this palace because of her aunt's Jingren Palace."
For a moment, Fu Cha Langya felt that no one in this deep palace was trustworthy.
In the greenhouse, Wei Yanwan was picking up flowers and plants with her head down. Her white, tender and slender fingers were now covered with scars left after frostbite healed.
Seeing this, the nanny scolded her, "Wei Yanwan, you're being lazy again, aren't you? Be careful, these are all for the imperial concubines. If you make any of them unhappy, watch out for your head!"
Wei Yanwan lowered her head and said aggrievedly, "Madam, I'm not lazy. There's so much work to do today and I'm the only one left. I really can't finish it."
"Nonsense! If you can't finish your work today, don't eat. Who do you think you are? A royal concubine? You're just the lowest-ranking palace maiden. Stop talking nonsense and get to work."
After the nanny left, Ling Yunche, who had been hiding in the corner, dared to show himself. He called out softly, "Yan Wan!"
Wei Yanwan looked around and saw that no one was around, so she grinned and called out sweetly, "Brother Yun Che."
The two of them sat in the corridor at the corner. Ling Yunche took out a ruby ring and handed it to Wei Yanwan: "Yanwan, this is for you."
Wei Yanwan was ecstatic holding the ring: "It's so beautiful, thank you Brother Yun Che!"
Seeing that she liked it, Ling Yunche lowered his head slightly and said with a blushing face: "This is the darkest ruby, but look inside."
Wei Yanwan held up the ring and indeed saw the pattern inside.
"That cloud is me, and that swallow is you."
Wei Yanwan clutched the ring in her palm and then pressed her hand against her chest. She said shyly, "Brother Yun Che, although this ring is not worth much, your thoughts are worth a thousand gold."
Ling Yunche smiled with relief, but then he sighed and said, "Yanwan, don't let your mother see this, or she will scold you again.
"Having said that, your mother and brother are really disappointing. You give them all your monthly salary, and they still feel it's not enough."
Wei Yanwan sighed: "What can I do? They are my relatives, I can't just ignore them. If I could work in that palace, for example, Yiku Palace..." This way I would have a lot more money. I heard from Lan Cui that Concubine Xian was very generous and never stingy with money for these little palace maids. She always thought about the people below if she had anything delicious or fun.
Ling Yunche: "I think it's good for you to work in the flower house. If you work in a palace and make the master unhappy, no one will be able to save you."
