The concubine is soft and charming, and the prince is willing to seduce her

Chapter 166 Worried Chai Hui

Changle Hall

The sunlight shines through the window, illuminating the hall. A gentle breeze blows the gauze curtains, occasionally brushing the beauty bed.

On the low table next to the couch was a five-legged incense burner with a gilded honeysuckle and lotus pattern. After Qingdai lit the incense, curls of smoke swirled up in a moment, creating a unique artistic conception.

Nan Zhiyu leaned on the soft brocade pillow, half-closed her eyes, supported her head with her hands, and felt drowsy.

Lian Yue was walking in holding a bowl of bird's nest porridge, her steps were light and her movements were gentle, for fear of startling her.

Qingdai came back from a walk outside with anger flashing in her eyes.

Lian Yue gave her a look and she immediately calmed down.

This morning, after the prince left Chengqian Palace, Eunuch Xiao Chai told them the matter hesitantly. The two of them understood the seriousness of the matter and quickly woke up Nan Zhiyu who was sleeping.

The master and his two servants hurriedly took the small path back to Changle Palace. The young lady had caught a cold for the past two days and had not recovered from it. She was really exhausted after going through so much trouble today.

After a while, Nan Zhiyu opened her sleepy eyes, sat up, took the porcelain bowl, and gently stirred it with a spoon. "They saw that I had been promoted to a higher position and was still occupying His Highness and refused to let go. They were jealous and could not find anyone to judge, so they came up with such a disgusting method."

Qing Dai couldn't bear to see Nan Zhiyu being wronged, "Your Highness the Crown Prince likes to pamper the Master, is there anything wrong with that?"

"It's obvious that they are just jealous and say the grapes are sour because they can't eat them. Fortunately, you have been in Chengqian Palace these few days, staying with His Royal Highness the Crown Prince every day. Otherwise, if this dirty water is thrown on you, you won't be able to explain it even if you have a mouth full of mouths."

Qingdai felt extremely happy when she thought of the jealous and uncontrollable expressions on those women's faces when they learned that their master's innocence was proven by the Crown Prince.

Nan Zhiyu drank the bird's nest slowly and calmly said, "There's no rush to ask His Royal Highness for help on this matter. I want to see what tricks they can come up with together."

If she guessed correctly, His Royal Highness the Crown Prince would most likely bring the Shen father and son to meet him.

What would they do if they saw their daughter or sister being wronged?

Lian Yue was sorting things aside, thinking secretly: How long has it been since the master entered the palace and gained favor? Although she has been promoted to a concubine, she has no children. Having the favor of His Highness is still not enough.

If she could get the help of the Shen family, then the master would be considered a true favorite concubine in the entire Eastern Palace.

"There are people coming and going outside, you must send someone to keep a close eye on them and not let anyone take advantage of the situation innocently." Nan Zhiyu whispered after drinking the bird's nest.

Qingdai nodded hurriedly, "Master, don't worry, Eunuch Xiaogui has already made arrangements."

Qiu Cui reported from outside: "Master, Eunuch Xiao Chai wants to see you."

"Please come in." Nan Zhiyu asked Lianyue to serve tea.

She was wondering, hadn't Eunuch Xiao Chai already followed the Crown Prince to court?
How come you suddenly have time to come to Changle Palace?
Chai Hui walked in with his head down, and when he saw Nan Zhiyu, he knelt down and saluted with a smile.

She quickly asked Fukutake to support her, "Eunuch Xiao Chai is not an outsider here, there is no need to be so formal."

Nan Zhiyu had someone bring a round stool, made some tea and handed it to him, "If you have anything to say, sit down and drink some tea first. There is no rush." "Thank you, Concubine Yue, for giving me a seat." Chai Hui thanked her politely. He sat on the stool, subconsciously covering his knee with his hand, as if he had some old injury.

Although Nan Zhiyu didn't know, she still spoke with concern: "Eunuch Xiao Chai has always been able to win face in front of His Highness, but you also have to take care of your body.

If you feel unwell, seek medical treatment in time. You can just keep an eye on the eunuchs below and help them with the work. Once you have recovered your health, you can truly take control of the rest."

Chai Hui smiled and replied, "Thank you for your concern, Concubine Yue, it's just an old problem.

As for teaching others without worry, I am afraid that I will not be able to serve Your Highness well at all. For Your Highness, this little injury of your servant is nothing."

Nan Zhiyu heard him say that, her smile remained on her face, and her sleepiness was swept away, "Eunuch Xiao Chai, tell me, what exactly do you want to see me about this time?"

"It is indeed an important matter, so I shamelessly come to you to ask for your help. Otherwise, His Royal Highness the Crown Prince will say that he will not spare my help." Chai Hui deliberately used the word "ask".

Nan Zhiyu was shocked. He was a jack of all trades in the palace. His words showed that the situation was very tricky!
Nan Zhiyu waved her hand and asked all the irrelevant people in the palace to leave. "There are no outsiders in the palace now. Eunuch Xiao Chai, you can speak now."

Chai recalled His Highness's instructions and found it difficult to speak. When he was in the Prime Minister's Mansion before, he vaguely heard Luo Chen say that Concubine Yue had no good feelings towards her biological father, Shen. If His Highness the Crown Prince had not insisted that he come to handle this matter, he would never have come.

"Master Yue, His Royal Highness the Crown Prince asked me to invite you to visit Chongming Palace." Chai Hui said through gritted teeth.

Seeing him hesitating, Nan Zhiyu took the opportunity to pick up a cup of tea to moisten her throat.

When she heard this, she looked at Chai Hui curiously, "Why do you want me to go there for no reason?"

Chai Hui sighed and told you that the Crown Prince wanted to summon Shen Hui and his son, and planned to have a chance encounter with your family of three. "Yue Jieyu, the Crown Prince probably has his own difficulties. He will never hurt you, so do you want to go with him to investigate the Shen family father and son, and then decide whether to recognize them?"

Chai Hui's face was also full of worry. Although he had heard that the Shen family was full of loyal and brave people, he had never met Shen Hui and his son in the palace many times, so he didn't know how credible this rumor was.

What if the Shen family has no good intentions at all and just wants to take advantage of Master Yue's high position? What if they are villains who are trying to curry favor with the rich and powerful?
Chai Hui then told Nan Zhiyu what the Crown Prince had said, intermittently, like pouring beans.

The reason why Chai Hui dared to say this was because before he came, His Royal Highness the Crown Prince said that as long as he could complete the task, he could use any method, the only thing was that he could not harm Concubine Yue.

Nan Zhiyu didn't expect that Chai Hui had such a lovely side. He was like an old woman who was worried that her daughter would be cheated after getting married and would not live a good life. He was so worried that his brows were furrowed, just like a little old man.

Nan Zhiyu nodded perfunctorily, pursed her lips calmly, clenched her teeth, and tried her best to suppress the urge to laugh, for fear of disappointing Chai Hui's good intentions.

Lianyue and Qingdai, who were standing behind him, were so happy that they pinched their thighs with their hands, afraid that they would not be able to hold back their laughter in the next second.

"Jieyu Yue, don't think too much. How about you go and meet her secretly first?" After Chai Hui finished his long speech, he waited for her to express her opinion.

Nan Zhiyu pursed her lips, frowned slightly, and said with some embarrassment: "Since Master Xiao Chai has said so, let's go and take a look!"

Chai Hui: I still have to rely on my eloquent tongue!

I will update the chapter tomorrow. I will write it tomorrow. I will take a rest tomorrow. Tangtang will go to bed tonight. Good night, everyone.
