Yuyao happily accepted the reward, gave a thick pouch to Fu Gonggong, and then smilingly sent the person away.
Fu Gonggong left not long after.
The soft Guifei brought Caiyue to Yuexiang Palace.
"What business does the Gentle Consort have in coming to her own palace?"
Yuyao furrowed her brow, although she was full of doubts, she still went out to welcome her.
As soon as she went out, she saw the Guifei softly walking in from the palace gate.
A set of exquisite white palace attire, adorned with patterns of intertwined branch vases, looking simple yet elegant.
Her eyebrows were lightly brushed, her face was delicate and attractive, and her figure was extremely thin, as if she would fall over any moment.
A pair of eyes with sparkling water, as if holding tears, or containing emotions, making people unable to help but feel pity.
Then she holds it in her arms, gently caresses it, not wanting to harm it.
However, there is still a sense of clarity and innocence in the eyes that are full of tears and emotions, as if they are unaware of the world.
Yuyao finally knows why Ye Beichen likes the Guifei.
Such a woman is naturally prone to attract a man's affection and protective instinct.
Even if we don't mention that Ye Beichen is a man, even she, as a woman, dares not approach the Guifei.
It's really fragile, so fragile that it seems to break apart just by touching.
She was very suspicious; how could such a fragile Guifei serve as a concubine to Ye Beichen at night?
Yuyao knows all too well how skilled Ye Beichen is in this regard.
Someone who doesn't feel tired after being disturbed all night until dawn.
Even the next day, they can go to court with full spirits and then proceed to handle official business.
Could such a body as the Guifei endure it?
Yuyao's thoughts passed in an instant. She quickly collected her thoughts and approached with reverence, "Subject has seen the Guifei Nianniang, may the Guifei Nianniang have ten thousand years of happiness and safety!"
The Guifei Nianniang stopped in front of Yuyao, examining her carefully.
She wore a light yellow dress, with a face as smooth as white swan fat, lips like dotted cherry blossoms, eyebrows like ink painting, and eyes as clear as autumn water.
She exuded a combination of elegance and a touch of vitality and etherealness, pure and above the mundane, truly living up to the name 'Yuexian' (Pleasure of Immortals) of this palace.
With her 'Yao' title, it was truly a match made in heaven.
The Guifei Nianniang's eyes darkened, her long nails dug deeply into the flesh, but she did not feel any pain.
Chenlang, Chenlang, have you considered this whore to be a goddess of the Yaozi Palace?
Is she worthy of it?
Her eyes flicked over a trace of hatred, but she skillfully suppressed it.
She remembers this woman and has also seen her.
She used to be a young maid in the palace of the Chao Guifei, who disfigured her face saving the Chao Guifei and now has a very prominent scar on her face.
Therefore, the Guifei Nianniang has a relatively deep impression of Yuyao.
But now she saw someone again.
The scar on her face had disappeared, but upon close inspection, there were still faint marks, though not very noticeable.
If not careful, it would never be noticed.
And it would no longer affect her appearance.
These thoughts crossed her mind in an instant. The Guifei Nianniang pulled her gaze away and said indifferently, "Get up!"
Yuyao naturally noticed the Guifei Nianniang's inspection, but she didn't pay much attention to it.
Hearing the other's words, she also rose up.
Before Yuyao could speak, the Guifei Nianniang suddenly said, "I've heard that the Emperor has newly appointed a younger sister, and I am curious, so I couldn't help but come to take a look!"
Yuyao furrowed her brow, without speaking, mainly because she didn't know how to respond.
The Guifei Nianniang was a first-grade concubine, while Yuyao was merely a second-grade concubine, two levels higher than her.
No matter how she responded, it wouldn't be appropriate, so she simply remained silent.
According to the rules, she should have invited the Guifei Nianniang to sit inside, but Yuyao's heart was unwilling.
The Guifei Nianniang also knew that the other party would not invite her in to sit, and a mocking light flashed in her eyes.
"I'm not sure what you like, so I picked something at random. Do you like it?"
Then she ordered Caiyue to bring the things that were prepared beforehand.
As the saying goes, 'You should not strike a smiling face', when the other party proactively offered gifts, Yuyao could not refuse to accept them.
"Thank you, Guifei Nianniang!"
After the words fell, she accepted the box that Caiyue handed over.
The box was already opened, and Yuyao glanced at the items inside, which were a box of gold donkey inkstick.
The gold donkey inkstick is rare, and only favored consorts in the entire palace have it, and they receive it as an imperial favor.
This gift is also quite valuable.
No matter how valuable it is, because it's from the Guifei Nianniang, Yuyao won't use it, and she doesn't know what ingredients the other party might have added.
She closed the box containing the gold donkey inkstick and handed it to Qingtan beside her.
"Yuexian Palace is the residence of the late Emperor's Yini Guifei. It's said to be spacious and magnificent, and its gate was always closed, so I couldn't see it. Can your sister, Yaofei, take me inside to take a look?"
The Guifei Nianniang's gaze fell upon that peach blossom grove, her eyes seemingly filled with longing. Suddenly, she turned to Yuyao and said.
Yuyao was taken aback for a moment, and her gaze turned towards the Guifei Nianniang, as if she wanted to visit her own palace.
She couldn't tell what the Guifei Nianniang was up to, but since the other party had spoken first and sent gifts in advance, she couldn't refuse.
But she was also afraid that the Guifei Nianniang had some ulterior motive waiting for her, so she was a bit hesitant to agree.
"If the Guifei Nianniang wants to see, then of course!"
Yuyao smiled slightly and said to the Qingyu beside her, "Qingyu, quickly take the Guifei Nianniang inside to take a look!"
In any case, it was impossible for her to personally guide the Guifei Nianniang on a tour. This woman was so fragile; she might accidentally trip or fall into water on the way, setting her up for a plot.
Her idea was that she would never touch this woman.
"Yes, Madam!"
Qingyu walked over and respectfully waved her hand towards the Guifei Nianniang, "Guifei Nianniang, please follow me!"
Then she made a gesture to indicate a "please"
The Guifei Nianniang's face stiffened; she never expected that this woman would let a slave take her on a tour.
She was a dignified Guifei, having personally come to offer congratulations and presented a substantial gift; wasn't it appropriate for her to take herself on the tour?
And she could also find an opportunity to harm this woman, so that Chenlang could see how evil she really was.
The Guifei Nianniang didn't even look at Qingyu, but gritted her teeth and said, "I don't need it. I suddenly remember there's something I haven't finished dealing with. Goodbye!"
Without waiting for Yuyao to respond, she left with Caiyue in a hurry.
Yuyao smiled mockingly in the depths of her heart, muttering: "This woman really has something up her sleeve."
But she didn't say anything and was about to turn inside.
Suddenly, another person arrived, and it was the Qiu Ma, from the Cining Palace.
Seeing Qiu Ma appear at Yuexian Palace, Yuyao's whole body wasn't feeling well.
The scene suggests that the empress mother will have her punished.
She quietly instructed Qingtan to request Ye Beichen, then approached Qiu Ma.
"Old slave, I have seen the Yaofei Nianniang!"
When Qiu Ma saw Yuyao, she bowed slightly without showing due respect, just slightly waving her hand, and before Yuyao could stand up, she got up herself.
Yuyao wasn't in the mood to argue about etiquette with the other party at this moment, so she asked, "I wonder if you, Madam Qiu, have come here at the empress dowager's command!"
Qiu Yun looked at Yuyao and spoke with an arrogant attitude, "The empress dowager wants to see you. You should follow the old slave."
Her attitude and tone were as if Yuyao were a criminal, which made her very uncomfortable.
She was more certain than ever that the empress dowager was going to punish her.
Yuyao secretly touched her belly and thought, "I'm already one month pregnant."
It should be possible to detect the pulse, but it's too early for it to burst out.
We'll see; if things really can't be handled, then I'll find an opportunity to burst out later.
In any case, it's impossible to use a needle to pierce her.
Otherwise, she'll be ousted from the Cining Palace, and she's not that fragile Guifei Nianniang who can be blown away by the wind.
