All Chapters of Empresses in the Palace: Chapter 21 - Chapter 30

“It seems that I can’t go back to Xi Xing Building tonight.” At the appropriate time, Yun Fenghuang was hiding in the woods and wringing the water out of her long and messy hair and clothes. She sighed, “I originally wanted to go to Ning Bi Hall to pay respects to Consort Yue on the way I went back to Hu Zhu Palace and told something cruel to… make her angry deeply.”To be honest, she originally planned indeed to go ashore secretly after swimming underwater for some time, and then she would find a way to solve the trouble. Helplessly, she joined the Imperial Harem too short to be familiar with the environment.Because the reeds beside Sha Lv Pavilion had not yet flourished this season, and Yun Fenghuang was afraid that she would be caught if she raised her head above water too early, so, she broke off a section of a reed tube under the water for breathing. She didn’t raise her head over the water secretly until she couldn’t breathe. Looking around quickly,

At this time, Empress Ji had come back from Mian Fu Palace, and had changed the Empress’s Diyi (the most honorable ceremonial robe with the embroidered patterns of Di bird) that she wore to pay respects just now into a set of light purple palace costume. She tied up her hair loosely, into which a pair of precious Dian (a kind of hairpin) with the patterns of hibiscus flower inlaid with red agate oppositely inserted. And there was also a green hairpin with the patterns of bamboo, plum blossom and lucid ganoderma. When she was supported by a maid to slowly step up, a pair of about a Cun (about 3.3cm) of pure gold pendants beside her ears were almost motionless. It showed that she was super elegant and dignified.“What a poor girl. Why did you swim to Small Peng Lai?” After Empress Ji who was supported by the maid’s hands sat down on her noble throne, she looked down at Yun Fenghuang underneath who had been kneeling politely, and said indifferently, “This morning, Noble Co

“Your Highness, don’t land in Queen Mother of Mercy’s trap!” Yun Fenghuang raised her head and said aggrievedly, “I am helpless in the Imperial Harem, and I can only rely on Your Highness. If even Your Highness detests and rejects me, then... then I...”Before she finished her words, she began to cry.Empress Ji was unmoved, sneering, “You even play a double game at such a young age! You kept on appreciating Mother’s grace just now, but now you suddenly turn hostile before she had gone away. It’s useless to pretend to be pathetic now. I know clearly what you are planning!”“Your Highness, You’ve really wronged me!” Yun Fenghuang kneeled a few steps forward and shouted, “Queen Mother of Mercy is Consort Yue’s legitimate aunt, and Consort Yue doesn’t like me. Since they stand at the same side, how is it possible for Queen Mother of Mercy to have favorable views of me? It’s her best mercy not to help Consort Yue murder me, not to mention helping m

“Auntie Zhu, it hurts to hear what you said!” Consort Yue was originally very sad, but Auntie Zhu’s words were like arrows, which pierced her heart deeply. She raised her tearful face, “It’s clear that the bitch Yun Fenghuang...”Auntie Zhu interrupted her impatiently, “You have poured out these words to His Majesty and the Queen Mother for hundreds of times! They are so kind and patient to hear you passing the buck over and over again, but I’m impatient to allow you to be wayward! The Queen Mother had told you clearly that the Imperial Harem was not our family, and you couldn’t afford to be wayward. What did you say? Ah?”“You said that as long as you could be with His Majesty, you were not afraid of anything!”“What now?”“It’s been eight years since you jointed the Imperial Harem, and you almost cry or complain every day. In your heart, the concubines are either miserable or diabolical! Do you really think you are the only one w

“My Majesty!” Yun Fenghuang personally served a cup of tea to Emperor Chunjia. Glancing at the eunuch she had never seen before, she asked delicately, “I’ve never seen the eunuch you bring today, My Majesty.”Emperor Chunjia opened the lid of the tea bowl, blew on the tea, and said slowly, “Yan Yin serves me newly. It is impossible if you have seen him before.”He said in a bland tone, as if he didn’t mind what had happened to Jiang Lan at all.“You are right, My Majesty.” Yun Fenghuang smirked and sat down in a seat. There was an end table between them. “This eunuch is fair and handsome, much more beautiful than the previous one Jiang Lan. He looks delightful... Is it you who gave him the name Yan Yin?”Emperor Chunjia put down the tea bowl and said, “Jiang Lan had also come with me to see you here several times before. But you didn’t notice him at all at that time. Why do you pay attention to Yan Yin when he firstly comes here? I
