After Yu Ying'er's rebirth, she became addicted to teasing Concubine Hua

"Okay." Yu Ying'er followed Chunxi's strength and was supported by Chunxi back to the house to rest.

Chunle looked at Xiao Lingzi and said, "Go and ask the imperial physician Wei to come. I will go to Xianfu Palace to ask for leave for the queen. The queen is not feeling well, so she did not come to pay respects. We must ask the imperial physician to take a look to find out the truth."

Xiao Lingzi nodded and said yes, then he and Chunle separated and went in different directions to complete their tasks.

As soon as Yu Ying'er lay down, Xiao Lingzi called Wei Lin over. Helplessly, Yu Ying'er simply put on her coat and let Wei Lin take her pulse and give her legs and feet acupuncture before letting her have a good rest.

It was Chunxi who sent Wei Lin out, and even took out a red envelope that Yu Ying'er had prepared before. It was just given by Doctor Wei or the maids and eunuchs from other palaces who came to Chuxiu Palace. Chunxi was still very gentle, and handed the red envelope to Wei Lin, saying: "Thank you Doctor Wei, it's just after New Year's Eve, and it's hard for me to invite you here. This is the red envelope that the Queen asked me to prepare for you. You must accept it to ask for good luck from Chuxiu Palace, and you will have a better future next year."

Chunxi's blessing to Wei Lin was genuine. After all, Wei Lin was a member of their party. Naturally, the higher his promotion, the better it would be for their queen, and the more face she could gain in front of the emperor, the better.

"Thank you, Concubine Rou, and thank you, Aunt Chunxi." Wei Lin did not refuse and took the red envelope very naturally, with a peaceful smile on his face, without any behavior of overstepping his authority.

After finishing the red seal, Wei Lin took out something wrapped in a handkerchief from his arms and opened it bit by bit. It turned out to be a jade bracelet, which was a very simple style without even a carving.

"This is the gift given to me by the Empress after I took her pulse a few days ago. I would like to give it to Aunt Chunxi as a New Year's gift. I hope you will accept it." Wei Lin held up the bracelet wrapped in a silk handkerchief and looked at Chunxi cautiously, expecting her to accept it. However, if she refused, he would not force her.

He had specially picked this bracelet because it was simple in style and made of jade, so even a palace maid like her would not look conspicuous when wearing it.

Chunxi looked at Wei Lin's cautious appearance and knew that he definitely had not given up yet. He felt helpless.

"I'm sorry, Doctor Wei, I can't accept your bracelet. It's a serious crime for a palace maid to secretly give the bracelet to a doctor. I don't want to cause trouble for Her Majesty." Chunxi's attitude was resolute, and she would not give Wei Lin any hope.

As expected, Wei Lin was a little disappointed, but because he was mentally prepared in advance, it was not that difficult to accept.

"It's Wei's fault for not thinking it through. I will go back to the Imperial Hospital to serve on duty first." Wei Lin carefully put away the bracelet and put it back in his arms. He looked at Chunxi apologetically and fled.

Chunle just happened to walk in, and missed the leaving Doctor Wei. Seeing that Doctor Wei looked hurried, Chunle asked in confusion, "Sister Chunxi, what happened to Doctor Wei? He doesn't look well. Is there something wrong with the queen?"

"It's okay. Doctor Wei just hurried back to his duty. Your Majesty is fine, but have you asked for leave properly from Imperial Noble Consort Jing? This is the first time you pay respects after the New Year, so don't give anyone an opportunity to use force against you." Although in the past, after every New Year's Eve, the Empress who held the power in the palace would ask for respects three days later, this was the first time that Imperial Noble Consort Jing hosted New Year's Eve and the first time that she asked people to pay respects after New Year's Eve. I don't know if this rule is still followed from before, but it wouldn't hurt to ask.

Chunle said, "When I went to see Imperial Noble Consort Jing, she said that we can resume paying respects to the emperor after three days, and then we can pay respects on the first and fifteenth day of each lunar month, so Your Majesty can rest for another three days."

"Okay, you go down and have some rest too." Chunxi looked at Chunle tiredly, and seeing some dark circles at the corners of his eyes, he knew that he either didn't sleep well yesterday, or... he didn't sleep all day.

Chunle shook his head and said, "Sister Chunxi, you should go and rest. I slept for two hours yesterday, but you stayed with the queen all night. You are the one who is really tired."

Just when the two were in a stalemate and were trying to persuade each other to go to bed, Princess Chaogui and Nian Shilan arrived with Fubao. The two could only bow and greet the three of them politely.

"Your servant greets Concubine Hua, Princess Chaogui, and the Third Lady." The two shouted in unison.

Nian Shilan asked hurriedly, "How is Ying'er? I heard that she is not feeling well. Has the imperial physician examined her?"

Princess Chaogui continued, "Yes, how is Concubine Rou?"

Chunxi said quickly, "Don't worry, Madam and Princess. My Madam just didn't sleep well yesterday and is a bit absent-minded today. It's not serious. She just needs to rest more. I'm sorry to have worried you and Princess."

Upon hearing this, Nian Shilan and Chao Gui finally breathed a sigh of relief.

It’s okay if it’s okay, it’s okay if it’s okay.

"In that case, we won't disturb Ying'er's rest. When she wakes up, send someone to inform me and Princess Chaogui, so that we don't have to worry all the time." Nian Shilan ordered.

Chunxi agreed immediately.

Afterwards, the two of them went to Shoukang Palace to pay homage to the Empress Dowager. Mainly Chaogui was the one who went. Fubao looked at Chaogui with shining eyes and insisted on going with them. Nian Shilan had no choice but to take Fubao with her.

During the four or five hours that Yu Ying'er was asleep, Cao Qinmo, Fei Yunyan, and Lu Yingfeng came to visit her one after another. After learning that she was just sleepy, they breathed a sigh of relief and left some supplements for her before going back.

After Yu Ying'er woke up, Chunxi sent the eunuchs in the palace out to report her safety to the ladies and Princess Chaogui.

Yu Ying'er opened her eyes in confusion, feeling that if she continued sleeping, her body would probably fall apart. She quickly asked Chunxi to help her wash and change her clothes, and walk around the hall to stretch her already limp body.

After walking back and forth in the hall several times, they heard the voice of Nian Shilan and Fubao asking for a meeting outside. Yu Ying'er immediately had someone invite the two in, and even placed pastries on the table after they sat down.

"Empress Rou, did Hongyao really go out to sea with Fourteenth Uncle?" To be honest, Fubao felt like she was backstabbed. Hongyao had not told her about such a big thing and did not even think of taking her with him. She also wanted to do something practical, but she was still young and as a woman from such a feudal family, she was powerless to do many things.

Yu Ying'er sighed and nodded slightly: "Rather than saying that he followed the Fourteenth Master to the sea, it would be better to say that he became the eyes that followed the Emperor. He was willing but also forced. This trip was not safe in the first place. He did not tell you, Gege, for his own reasons. What's more... if Gege left, wouldn't he not be able to see your Aunt Chaogui?"

Seeing Fubao's look, Yu Ying'er, who had watched Hongyao and Fubao grow up since childhood, couldn't help but understand what he was thinking, so she couldn't... just try to persuade him first.

Fubao fell into deep thought, seemingly thinking about the pros and cons of the matter.
