Mother Will Help You Suppress Your Shock

In the imperial palace of Da Shun, the Emperor did not enjoy the new year celebration. Aside from attending court, he shut himself in Zhao He Hall and refused to see anyone.

The palace maids in Zhao He Hall all had headaches and did not know what sort of tea the Emperor liked to drink. Ever since new year’s eve, they had brought out a total of 18 types, and the Emperor never took a single sip of any.

Zhang Yuan trotted in from the outside, a cold aura coming from his body. He tried to say to the Emperor: “Her Highness the Empress has brought all of the concubines here to see you. They said that they wish to invite your Majesty to Zi Lin Pavilion to see a play.”

The Emperor frowned: “See a play? We do not desire to see a play. It’s too cold.”

Zhang Yuan kept a good attitude and discussed with him: “The stage is inside the hall. It’s not cold.”

The Emperor glared at him and shouted: “Is that a matter of inside or outside?” While saying this, he slapped his own chest, “It’s cold in here. Do you understand or not?” As he spoke, a look of sorrow appeared on his face. He then awkwardly said: “We have been in this large imperial palace from childhood, but why is it that I feel my heart getting colder and colder? What’s the point of having so many wives. In the end, I couldn’t even get the one that I wanted.”

Zhang Yuan heard this and thought, dang! The Emperor was about to become despondent once more. It seemed that the Empress’ feelings would be wasted once more. Thus he quickly told a eunuch to the side to report to the Empress. He then took a couple steps forward and desperately tried to console him: “Your Majesty, don’t be like this. This servant knows what you are thinking about. Although Imperial concubine Yun could not be at your side, isn’t she playing the lute in the Winter Palace. On the night of new year’s eve, half of the palace heard it. That can also be considered as accompanying your Majesty for the new year.”

“Played the lute? Hmph!” The Emperor snorted then self-mockingly said: “That’s also fine. In any case, the sound of a lute could be heard this year, unlike in previous years when there wasn’t a single sound that came. Hah, Xiao Yuan, my beloved is clearly in the palace, but why is it that I feel she isn’t in the palace at all?”

Zhang Yuan’s heart quivered, but his mouth was resolute, immediately refuting it: “If she isn’t in the palace, where could she go? Do you think that this is a commoner’s backyard that can be left so easily?”

The Emperor thought about it and also felt the same, thus he waved his hand and sighed, glossing over the matter.

Zhang Yuan let out a sigh of relief but quietly hoped in his heart, imperial concubine Yun, quickly come back. If this matter is exposed, the Emperor burning down the entire inner palace would be considered insignificant. If he also sneaks out like you did, things would truly get out of hand! I just hope that the East is not suitable for people to live in. Imperial concubine Yun, if you’re unhappy with the situation there, just come back after a few days there!

Unfortunately, things would never go as people desired. Da Shun’s eastern border was not that cold, and only the night of new year’s eve saw any snowflakes. After that, no snow fell at all. Imperial concubine Yun was very satisfied with her living conditions. She was extremely satisfied. She had tried all of the delicious foods in the city, everything from the restaurants to the street stalls, she had even snuck into a brothel. once for the sake of trying the fantastic fruit wines. As a result, she was fine at the time but ended up getting drunk for two days. This angered Xuan Tian Hua so much that he ignored her for two days.

Imperial concubine Yun acted freely and without restraint, but Xuan Tian Hua’s days were not that joyous. Not only was every general present a former subordinate of Bu Cong, but the same could also be said of the army. Bu Cong’s troops were extremely loyal to him. Although they did not run away with him, they expressed their disapproval of a new general by refusing to cooperate and remaining silent. Even if the person was Xuan Tian Hua, there was not much of an effect when it came to appeasing these soldiers.
