In the pavilion in the middle of the lake in the garden, there are two delicate figures leaning together, watching the koi in the pond scrambling for fish food.

Zhi Qing squinted her eyes, then glanced at a group of palace people waiting outside the Huxin Pavilion, and recognized the identities of the two beauties.

"Master, it's Qing Jieyu and Wang Meiren."

Ye Chu nodded slightly and looked towards the Huxin Pavilion.

Sure enough, although the two beauties seemed to be intimate, Beauty Wang obviously lowered Qing Jieyu's head, even in the action of throwing fish food, there was a bit of caution and flattery.

Ye Chu paused, and gave instructions to the maid next to him.

She walked lightly towards the pavilion in the middle of the lake, Qing Jieyu and Wang Meiren were chatting, they didn't notice the footsteps coming from behind, and Zhi Qing had already silenced the maid serving behind them in advance.

After Ye Chu walked in, she only heard Wang Meiren's bitter tone, with unconcealable jealousy, she said: "Concubine Shu's concubine's concubine is on the rise. Now it’s not just letting Concubine Shu take advantage of it!”

When Qing Jieyu heard what Wang Mei said, although the expression on her face was still so peaceful, there was already a malicious light in her eyes.

"After all, it is Concubine Shu. Considering her family's power in the previous court, one can guess that the emperor will not treat her harshly. It's just that the empress is pregnant at this time, but she is still overshadowed by Concubine Shu. It's a bit pitiful. !"

Pitiful?

There was a look of coldness on Ye Chu's face, what a "poor" one!

She really didn't expect that one day she would be reduced to this point, even the next concubine in the palace would dare to mock her in private!

Wang Meiren first noticed that the atmosphere behind her was not right, she turned her head and saw Ye Chu walking slowly towards her at a glance.

Holding a handful of fish food in her hand, Qing Jieyu was leisurely looking at the fish in the lake, but Wang Meiren's stiff arm gave her a sense of ominous feeling.

When she also turned around to look at it, her knees softened immediately, and she knelt on the ground to salute in fright.

The two of them panicked when they thought of what they had just talked about.

Ye Chu raised his eyebrows amusedly, and said coldly: "When I came here just now, I heard what you said to be pitiful?"

Qing Jieyu bit her lips tightly, and saw that Wang Meiren standing beside her was so frightened that she shrank her head like a quail and did not dare to move, so she could only maintain the posture of saluting, and apologized very respectfully and humbly.

"The concubine made a slip of the tongue for a while, please forgive the empress!"

When Wang Meiren heard this, she quickly followed Qing Jieyu to the side. If Qing Jieyu still had some face in front of the emperor, then she Wang Meiren was just an insignificant little person attached to Jieyu. The queen and empress look at each other?

Ye Chu saw that the two of them were sincere and fearful at this moment, and his mood suddenly faded.

If the topic that these two beauties had just talked about between the pavilions could still arouse some interest in her heart, but at this moment, the submissive look was boring.

She didn't expect that after several days of recuperation in Fengqi Palace, the news in the palace would spread like this.

"Although the two of you may have made a mistake unintentionally, the rules in the palace cannot be broken."

As soon as Ye Chu finished speaking, he saw the two shudder.

While Qing Jieyu and Wang Meiren were tremblingly waiting for the Queen's answer, Ye Chu sneered in his heart, and suddenly changed the topic.

"Forget it, I'm in a good mood today, and I don't intend to punish you more than that, so I asked you two to confine you in your own palace for three months, and copy a hundred volumes of Buddhist scriptures, so that you can cultivate yourself and learn more rules!"

Leaving these words behind, Ye Chu turned around and walked out. Her luxurious skirt was dragged between the bluestone bricks very meanderingly, looking like a peerless beauty.

Zhi Qing saw her master turn and leave, so she stepped forward to clean up the funeral.

In a strong tone, she told Qing Jieyu and the maids serving by Wang Meiren's side to deliver the copied Buddhist scriptures to Fengqi Palace on time without intentional delay.

Qing Jieyu seemed to be pardoned, even though she was punished, she was more grateful to Ye Chu.

You must know the current situation, if it was seen by Concubine Shu, it would not be so easy to let it go.

After the people from Fengqi Palace left, Wang Mei let out a sigh and sighed softly: "Fortunately, the empress has a gentle personality, otherwise we two sisters will suffer a lot!"

The two nodded, and were supported by their maids, and returned to the palace where they lived.

Although Wen Zheng was busy with the chores of the previous dynasty, he was very concerned about the affairs of the harem because he cared about Ye Chu's safety.

The news of Qing Jieyu and Wang Meiren's punishment spread to the Imperial Study Room not long after.

Wen Zheng glanced at Eunuch Zhang who reported the news, and put down the memorial in his hand.

He was a little puzzled, and said: "Recently there has been a lot of news in the palace, are they all talking about Qin Xinrou's beauty?"

Wen Zheng was not surprised to hear this. After all, these days he deliberately gave Qin Xinrou face. It is normal for such news to spread outside, but what made him more concerned was Ye Chu's emotions.

He originally wanted to have someone punish Qing Jieyu and Wang Meiren again, but after thinking about it, wouldn't this just expose his attention to the movements of the harem?

Thinking of this, Wen Zheng put down the hand he had just picked up.

However, Wen Zheng always remembered the rumors and criticisms that Ye Chu received in the palace, so he came to Fengqi Palace that night, but Ye Chu didn't want to contact Wen Zheng.

Hearing Wen Zheng's arrival, she put down the eyebrow pencil with a disappointed expression, glanced at the face reflected in the bronze mirror, and slowly smoothed the sadness between her brows.

Ye Chu couldn't tell the exact reason, since she was pregnant, she became more and more silent, and she preferred to sit by the dressing table and watch her appearance.

The feeling of living a new life has always left an unreal sense of strangeness in her heart.

This young and lively appearance can give her some confidence, allowing her to face the conspiracy from the harem.

Zhi Qing walked in with small steps, behind her was a touch of black clothes.

"Your Majesty, the Emperor has arrived."

This was an ordinary sentence, but when Ye Chu heard this, he suddenly stood up with his hands on the dressing table and walked towards the bed.

She turned her back to Wen Zheng who was walking over, obviously not wanting to pay him any attention.

Seeing this scene, Zhi Qing hurriedly stepped forward to smooth things over and said, "It's late, Your Majesty, Your Majesty is a little tired."

Hearing this, Wen Zheng's frown that had just been raised loosened.

But although Zhiqing gave the steps, Ye Chu didn't want to go down the steps.

"I'm not feeling well today, please ask the emperor to go elsewhere!"

As soon as Ye Chu said the words of rejecting people thousands of miles away, Wen Zheng's movements stopped.

Eunuch Zhang and Zhi Qing were jumping anxiously at the side, they could not wait to step forward and pull Ye Chu to persuade them, after all, it's not good to have a fight with anyone, but they want to have a fight with Wen Zheng.

Even though Ye Chu has a noble status and is pregnant with a dragon heir, how can he be as tempered as the Lord of the World?

Wen Zheng was soft but not hard, if Ye Chu lowered his figure, he would not be so angry, but now... the situation has become difficult.
