672 Little Black Egg Enters the Palace, Dealing with the Emperor (2)

U-useless?!

The Emperor’s face turned green.

Consort Yun removed the cucumber slice from her eyelids and opened her eyes. She glanced at the Emperor’s waist. “Eh? Can it still be used?”

The Emperor’s face turned from green to red. He was so angry that he was about to explode. “Shen Yun!!!”

As soon as the Empress reached the door of the Vermilion Bird Palace, she heard the Emperor’s thunderous roar. She was stunned. Strictly speaking, the Emperor was not an angry person. Otherwise, he would not have been called a smiling tiger. Only Consort Yun could incite all his anger. He always seemed to be endlessly angry at Consort Yun.

What was there to be angry about? She was just a crazy woman. He was the ruler of a country. He could tolerate the court officials and rebellion. Could he not tolerate a concubine who was causing trouble?

The Empress did not want the Emperor to care about Consort Yun, even in the most unpleasant way.

The Empress composed herself, took a deep breath, and calmly walked over. Along the way, some palace servants bowed to her, but she waved them away. She walked over dignified and elegantly. She looked at the Emperor, who was about to explode, and then at Consort Yun, who had no image at all. She frowned. “Consort Yun, His Majesty is here. Why aren’t you greeting him? Why are you acting so rude? How improper is this.”

Consort Yun snorted and stuck the cucumber slices back to her eyelids. “Since the Empress is here, quickly bring your man back. There’s no room for two great Buddhas under my Vermilion Bird Temple.”

The Empress continued, “Consort Yun, do you know that His Majesty and I were very anxious the night you disappeared?”

Consort Yun sneered. “What’s there to be anxious about? Is there no one for you to bully so you’re anxious? Or is there no one to set off the Empress’s gentle and virtuous image?”

The Emperor said coldly, “How can you talk to the Empress like that? Don’t think that you can look down on the Empress just because I conferred you as an honored consort. Do you believe that I…”

Consort Yun interrupted him indifferently. “Take away the title, depose the consort, and demoted to Talented Lady. I understand. Your Majesty, please issue the decree.”

“You!”

“Your Majesty.” The Empress grabbed his hand and shook her head gently at him. “Forget it, it’s not like you don’t know her personality. She doesn’t commit serious crimes and has countless small mistakes. Why be angry with her? You’ll only hurt your body.”

The Emperor said coldly, “She didn’t make a small mistake this time! She even escaped from the palace!”

The Empress looked at Consort Yun and said earnestly, “Consort Yun, you’re too ridiculous. It’s fine if you can cause trouble in the palace, but why did you cause trouble outside the palace? Aren’t you deliberately embarrassing the royal family? Even if you don’t think for His Majesty, think for your Princess. You don’t want her to have a mother who causes trouble.”

When Consort Yun heard the Empress’s words, she fell silent.

The Emperor snorted. “Reflect here. Without my decree, you are not allowed to take a step out of the Vermilion Bird Palace!”

With that, the Emperor left with the Empress. Before leaving, the Empress called the female envoy of the Vermilion Bird Palace over. “Eat and clothe well. Don’t treat the honored consort harshly.”

“Yes,” the female envoy replied respectfully.

“You’re still protecting her at this point.”

Consort Yun heard the Emperor’s muttering. Then, Consort Yun heard the Empress say, “No matter what, she’s Your Majesty’s concubine. If I treat her better, Your Majesty will not worry much. In the future, Your Majesty won’t go to her to suffer in anger. If you’re so angry that your health is affected, I’ll be worried.”

The Emperor sighed. “She’s just too noisy. If she knew the big picture like you, I wouldn’t have such a headache. Don’t worry, I won’t go to the Vermilion Bird Palace again.”

After receiving the guarantee, the Empress’s expression softened slightly. Then, she said, “She’s angry that Your Majesty sent the Eldest Princess away back then and caused them to be separated. If it were me, I would also be angry.”

The Emperor said, “But you won’t embarrass me in front of others.”

The Empress was stunned for a moment before she smiled bitterly. “Of course.”

Everyone knew that the Empress was dignified and sensible, so when the Emperor punished the Little Princess, she could only close the door and be angry with the Emperor. What would Consort Yun do? She would make a fuss in the court, put her hands on her hips, and scold the Emperor badly. Then, she would sit in the throne room and ask the Emperor to return the position of Queen to her daughter.

Because she was the empress of a generation, she could not do this.

Thinking of the Little Princess who had gradually lost the Emperor’s favor, the Empress clenched her fists.

On the other hand, when Yu Wan opened her eyes, she realized that Consort Yun had disappeared. After asking her mother, she found out that Consort Yun had gone down the mountain. Yu Wan guessed that she had returned to the palace. She tidied up and returned to the manor with her parents.

She first went to pick up the three little black eggs and then went to Sishui Street. She told Yan Jiuchao about Consort Yun. She was not sure if Consort Yun had returned to the palace and wanted to investigate.

“She did,” Yan Jiuchao said.

“How do you know?” Yu Wan asked.

Yan Jiuchao rubbed the small tuft of hair on her head and said, “Consort Yun has just been promoted to honored consort and is grounded today. This news has spread throughout the streets and alleys. Why? Didn’t you hear on the way back?”

Yu Wan frowned and said, “We were rushing back and didn’t go down to ask for information. Why was she grounded? Was it because of the matter of leaving the palace? That was done by Nangong Li!”

“It shouldn’t be this.” Yan Jiuchao was from the royal family and knew the palace rules better than Yu Wan. If the Emperor punished Consort Yun for leaving the palace, it wouldn’t be as simple as grounding. It was more like Consort Yun had angered the Emperor and was taken down a notch by him.

“I want to see my grandmother!” Yu Wan stood up. The strand of hair on her head that Yan Jiuchao had painstakingly rubbed down stood up again.

“You can’t go,” Yan Jiuchao said as he stared at her little hair.

“Why?” Yu Wan asked in confusion.

Yan Jiuchao dripped two drops of water on his palm and pressed them on the little strand of hair on Yu Wan’s head. “You don’t even admit that you’re the commandery princess of Nanzhao, so how can the Emperor admit that you’re Consort Yun’s granddaughter? Unless… you acknowledge him.”

“No way!” Yu Wan was so angry that her hair stood on end again.

“Sigh.” Yan Jiuchao covered his eyes.

… .

Although Yu Wan could not enter the palace, someone could.

In the evening, the Emperor was reviewing the memorials in the imperial study when an imperial guard suddenly rushed over. “Your Majesty, a few people came outside and said that they’re Honored Consort Yun’s relatives!”

Consort Yun had relatives? Didn’t her relatives cut ties with her long ago?

The Emperor continued to write rapidly. Just as he was about to send her away, he suddenly thought of something and sneered. Perhaps the Eldest Princess and her daughter had come knocking on the door. They were unwilling to acknowledge him, but they wanted to see Consort Yun. How could it be so easy?

“Let them go back!”

“They can’t go back,” the guard said, scratching his head.

The Emperor frowned.

The guard said embarrassedly, “You-you should go take a look yourself.”

Could it be that she had thought it through and decided to admit defeat to him? The Emperor put down the memorial in his hand and walked to the palace door.

The sky was dark and the palace was majestic. The three little black eggs carried their respective small bags and sat pitifully on the small stone outside the door.

The Emperor’s eyes widened.

The guard braced himself and said, “The person who sent them here said that they’re Honored Consort Yun’s relatives. They left after sending them off. Do you think… we should send them to the magistrate prefecture…”

How could he send the eggs that he had painstakingly obtained to the magistrate prefecture just like that!!! He could negotiate with the adults, but not with the children. However, if he were to send them back to the Helian Manor—

The three little black eggs looked at him adorably.

The Emperor’s heart softened.

“Ahem! There’s no need.” The Emperor cleared his throat and said seriously, “They’re Honored Consort Yun’s relatives. Bring them in.”

The guard was stunned. Honored Consort Yun really had relatives? Although he was puzzled, he still brought the three little fellows in.

The three little fellows held hands and walked up to the Emperor.

The Emperor looked at them and then at the dumbfounded guards. “All of you can leave.” Then, the Emperor held Dabao’s little hand and led a string of little black eggs to Consort Yun’s Vermilion Bird Palace!
