In Chengqian Palace, Yan Wan was holding Yihuan's Tenth Prince and playing with him. After this period of recuperation, the Tenth Prince's originally slightly yellow face became white and rosy, and his little mouth was pink and shiny, making people want to kiss him.

Concubine Qing proudly showed Yan Wan Yongheng's smaller bellyband and clothes.

"Look, Yan Wan, we took such good care of Xiao Shi that these clothes will soon become too small~"

Yi Huan praised Mu Ping, "It's all thanks to Queen Qing, who has been nourishing my body, making goat milk cakes for him, and even fattening up the wet nurse."

Mu Ping was even happier. She moved closer to Yan Wan and said, "Wan Wan, you should give birth to a baby too. I will help you raise it."

Yan Wan turned her head away, "You give birth!"

Mu Ping: "You give birth!"

Yihuan thought it was really funny. These two people liked children more than the other, but neither of them wanted to have one. They both rushed to grab Yongheng to hold the baby.

Yihuan thought about it and said, "Let Sister Jiafei give birth~"

The three of them were laughing when Jinzhong came over with a smile on his face.

"Master, you have made it easy for me to find you. The Emperor has ordered you to go to the Palace of Heavenly Purity to enjoy a play together."

Mu Ping snorted. This emperor was either stealing her food or her Yan Wan. He had no tact.

Jinzhong followed Yanwan and went to the Qianqing Palace together.

Yanwan keenly noticed that Jinzhong was a little unhappy. She turned around and asked casually:

"What's wrong, Eunuch Jinzhong? You seem to be worried."

Jinzhong pouted slightly, hiding a hint of disappointment: "I just feel that you are such a good person, but Yingpin and Ke Guiren always say bad things about you. I feel unfair for you."

Haha, it turned out to be because of those two people. Although Yan Wan no longer cared about Yingpin and the others, she still felt suddenly warm in her heart when she heard Jinzhong speaking up for her.

"Jinzhong~ They have their own mouths. They can say whatever they want. Anyway, they can't hurt me at all. If they commit a crime in front of me one day, I will not forgive them."

Jinzhong was once again impressed by Ling Zhuer's magnanimity. He had been watching Ling Zhuer for so many years and had never heard her say anything bad about others.

Because of this, he wanted to vent his anger for Ling Zhuer even more. He couldn't let Ling Zhuer know that he did it. Ling Zhuer was broad-minded, but he had his own rhythm.

In the Qianqing Palace, the emperor asked Li Yu to find the costumes sent by the Weaving Bureau. Today, he was craving for drama!

Throughout the entire harem, only Yanwan shared the same interests with him. They both loved listening to and singing Kunqu Opera.

"Yan Wan, you are here. Come here and take a look at the costumes I made for the two of us. Do they look good?"

Yan Wan looked over and saw a light green dress embroidered with golden branches and red plums, and a pink dress embroidered with golden hibiscus. For a moment, Yan Wan didn't know which one she should wear.

The emperor made his own decision, "Yan Wan, you wear green and I wear pink!"

Yan Wan was shocked. "Your Majesty, are you sure you want to wear this pink? Pink is so delicate..."

The emperor laughed, "I like pink!"

Yan Wan could only praise: "The pink is so tender, it makes the emperor's face look like a peach blossom~"

The emperor was even happier and took Yan Wan to the imperial garden. He wanted to sing "The Peony Pavilion" with Yan Wan among the flowers.

In the Imperial Garden, Yanwan's sleeves fluttered gently, and her eyes were full of charm.

The emperor also started to sing, picking up an orchid-shaped finger with his slender jade fingers and stretching it forward.

"It turns out that all the beautiful flowers are in full bloom, but now they are all left to the broken wells and dilapidated walls. What can we do about the beautiful scenery? Who can enjoy the pleasure in the yard? The clouds and mists fly in the morning and the green pavilions, the raindrops and wind, the painted boats in the mist, the people on the brocade screen look down on this beautiful time!"

In the imperial garden, there were two people singing in a lingering and sad voice, which was like clouds covering the moon when they were sad and like the moon emerging from the clouds when they were happy.

Jinzhong's eyes have always been on the gentle and beautiful Ling Zhuer, this is his fairy.

He slowly backed away until he was out of the Imperial Garden.

At this time, Yingpin was taking Concubine Ke to the Qianqing Palace to find the emperor. When the two were whispering about Concubine Xian's pregnancy, they saw Jinzhong, who was beside the emperor, looking around outside the Imperial Garden.

Jinzhong also saw the two men and greeted them respectfully.

"This servant greets the Concubine Ying, the noble lady Ke~"

When they approached the Imperial Garden, Yingpin and Ke Guiren heard singing coming from the Imperial Garden, which sounded like Concubine Ling's.

"Jinzhong, what are you doing here in such a sneaky way? And who is singing these lewd songs in the Imperial Garden?"

Jinzhong opened his eyes like a deer and shook his head innocently, "I am here to look for Jinbao. As for the sound, I don't know either. I think it's someone practicing Kunqu Opera."

Yingpin and Keguiren's eyes lit up and they walked towards the Imperial Garden.

Seeing that the stupid fish had taken the bait, Jinzhong let out a playful smile and leisurely returned to the Qianqing Palace to play with his younger brother Bao.

Yingpin and the other person walked along the winding path towards the flowers where the sound came from. The more they listened, the more they felt that this was some kind of lascivious music. What the hell was it? They couldn't understand it at all.

Passing through the lush vegetation and past the raised eaves, I saw a "woman" in a pink costume with an enchanting figure singing in a melodious voice among a bush of roses as tall as a person.

"You think that the green skirt and scarlet dress are beautiful, and the bright hairpins are decorated with eight treasures. Do you know that my love for you is natural? It is the spring season and no one sees me. I am not prepared for the beauty that makes fishes sink to the bottom of their chests and geese fall to the ground, and birds are startled by the noise. I am afraid that the flowers will be ashamed and the moon will be hidden, and the flowers will tremble with sorrow..."

Opposite "her", there was a person in green clothes drinking tea and watching.

Lady Ke pointed at the pink dress and said:

"Sister Ying, look, Wei Yanwan is performing for others, it's really despicable!"

Yingpin looked at the charming movements of the person in pink costume, unable to suppress her contempt, and said loudly:

"A concubine, dressed in red and pink all day, openly singing in the imperial garden, those who didn't know would think she was an actor from some opera troupe performing for money!"

After saying this, Yingpin still felt unsatisfied and added,

"She was born in a humble family, and she couldn't change her mean temperament even after entering the palace. She's still waving her claws around for no reason!"

As soon as these words were spoken, the pink costume stopped moving and the green costume stood up.

Only then did Concubine Ke realize with horror that the person in the green costume was Wei Yanwan, so who was the one in the pink costume?

When Xiaofen turned around, she saw the emperor wearing a theatrical crown and with painted red lips and white teeth.

"What's wrong with me singing Kunqu Opera? Do you two bitches have the right to make irresponsible remarks here? Kneel down!"

Neither Yingpin nor Ke Guiren had ever imagined that it was the emperor who was acting. When they saw Wei Yanwan next to them, they instantly felt that they were being tricked by Wei Yanwan.

The two knelt down, and Yingpin raised her head and said:

"Your Majesty, since you are the one singing today, I have to say something. This is not proper. It must be Concubine Ling who seduced you into learning it!"

Yan Wan also knelt down hurriedly, "Your Majesty, how can I bear such a serious crime!"

The emperor snorted coldly, "You guessed wrong! It was me who liked Kunqu Opera, and it was me who asked Yan Wan to sing it. It was me who sang today! You two are from the outskirts of the Great Wall, uncivilized, how can you understand the beauty of Kunqu Opera and the charm of the lyrics? Yan Wan, stand up and explain it to these two ignorant people."

When Yan Wan came back to her new life, the most thing she did was to teach Ruyi and the Mongolian concubine, which made her exhausted.

It is true that the greater the ability, the greater the responsibility!

Yan Wan said coquettishly: "I have told them, what will the emperor reward me with? If I have to waste my breath talking to them in vain, I will not agree~"

The emperor thought for a moment and said, "Chengde, two newly delivered Arabian horses are here. One for you and one for me. I will teach you how to ride a horse. How about that?"

Yan Wan calculated and decided that it was not a loss.

Then her clear and beautiful voice rang out,

"Yingpin, Ke Guiren, listen carefully. Kunqu opera has a gentle tune and lingering lyrics. It is one of the southern operas and the ancestor of all operas. Since ancient times, only scholars can understand its lyrics. The lyrics in many operas are not only sweet to read, but also alert.

For example, in "Peach Blossom Fan", I saw him building a tall building, I saw him entertaining guests, and I saw him sleeping in the tall building.

Another example is the emperor's favorite song "Changsheng Palace". A hundred years of separation is just a moment, a generation of beauty is for the emperor! Before leaving, I sent a poem with infinite love. On the seventh day of the seventh month, in Changsheng Palace, when no one whispered in the middle of the night, who knew that the lovebirds would fly apart and die together, and the endless hatred would never end.

These lyrics and music are in no way inferior to the articles, poems and songs throughout the ages. They are not the vulgar ones as you say, nor are they decadent music.

However, no one is born with knowledge, so who can be without doubts? You are from Mongolia, and you have little knowledge of Chinese culture. You can ask the emperor for advice in the future. The emperor is knowledgeable and will definitely help you solve your doubts.

After listening to what I said today, I hope you can correct your attitude. Do you understand what I said?"

The emperor's eyes have never left Yan Wan since she started speaking, and they are full of admiration and appreciation. When he heard Yan Wan praising him for his erudition, he agreed even more.

"Yan Wan said it well, citing classics and making detailed analysis, you are indeed my confidant!"

Yingpin and Ke Guiren were still confused. They still couldn't understand what Ling Fei said...

The emperor looked at the two idiots in front of him. Some time ago, because Yingpin was young and lively, he doted on her for a while. Now they are talking about him and Yanwan behind their backs. They really don't know their place. How shameless!

"Yingpin, Ke Guiren, you have committed crimes and spoken disrespectfully. Yingpin is demoted to Guiren and Ke Guiren is demoted to Changzai. Each of you will be confined to your home for a month to reflect on your mistakes. Now, you two should kneel here! Let the wind from this imperial garden cleanse your dirty hearts!"

After saying this, the emperor took Yan Wan’s hand, waved his sleeves and left.

Balin Meiruo and Hu Lin were shocked. The emperor actually dared to punish them!

She wanted to threaten the emperor with Mongolia, but she saw that the emperor had already run away with Concubine Ling.

"Look, Sister Ke, the emperor was seduced by Concubine Ling. As Mongolian concubines, you and I must advise the emperor next time!"

Concubine Ying comforted herself that the emperor was still afraid of Mongolia, otherwise why would he run so fast!

She reached out and poked Ke Changzai, covered her face with her other hand, and smiled obscenely, "Sister Ke, look, the emperor can sing Kunqu Opera~"

Ke Changzai sighed, "Sister Ying, stop poking me. We have to kneel for a whole day. Our knees will be broken."

Sure enough, when the two returned to the palace, they could hardly stand up, and the emperor did not allow them to use sedan chairs, so they had to be supported and crawl back step by step at night.

In the Qianqing Palace, Yanwan and the Emperor took off their costumes. The Emperor had calmed down by now and was ready to go to the Cining Palace to visit the Empress Dowager.

Yan Wan had already guessed along the way that Jinzhong deliberately led those two extremely stupid guys over there. She looked at Jinzhong, this fool who always used his own methods to vent her anger.

The emperor took Jinzhong and Jinbao and walked towards the Cining Palace in the sunset. Yanwan looked at Jinzhong's tall back as he left and thought of a poem:

"You shouldn't look back, lest my clothes get wet."
