Yun Jinnian looked at the Emperor laughing heartily, stood up, and slightly bowed, "Thank you, Your Majesty, for the reward!"
Regardless of his thoughts or whom he rewarded, she just accepted it.
As for whether to use it or not, that was up to her.
Noble Consort Le looked at Yun Jinnian, surprised that Yun Jinnian would actually rise to give thanks.
Everyone knew that the Emperor’s reward had some ill intent, and among those rewarded were certainly the Emperor’s spies.
This Princess Yijia was indeed a smart person.
Noble Consort Le laughed, "Your Majesty, don’t forget about my matter!"
Upon hearing this, the Emperor embraced Noble Consort Le, "Beloved Consort, rest assured, how could I dare forget your matter!" Then he looked at Yun Jinnian, "Yijia, I leave Noble Consort Le to you!"
Yun Jinnian was puzzled.
Noble Consort Le stood up laughing and walked to Yun Jinnian, "Let’s not bother with him, come, let’s go to my palace for a chat!"
They left Yangxin Hall together, Noble Consort Le holding Yun Jinnian’s hand.
She was charming and witty, speaking humorously.
She had none of the arrogance of a favored concubine, and her approachability made it easy for people to feel goodwill towards her.
If Yun Jinnian didn’t know her background, she would have been deceived by her appearance.
It’s no wonder the Emperor favored her so much; not only was she seductive, but she also knew how to conduct herself and read people’s expressions.
Noble Consort Le’s palace was called Yile Hall.
"Sit wherever you like, I’ll go change my clothes first!"
Noble Consort Le said and then entered the inner chamber.
The palace maids ushered Yun Jinnian to sit, she nodded slightly and glanced around.
Everywhere was exquisite and luxurious.
So this was what the palace of a favored concubine looked like?
Yun Jinnian felt a bit dazed.
Zhu Yan’s palace in her past life wasn’t ; she had been out of favor for many years, and she was just a concubine, not even a Noble Consort, let alone the Empress.
"Commandery Princess, have some tea!"
The palace maid smiled and withdrew.
Yun Jinnian took a sip of the tea.
It was Dahongpao’s tender shoots, seemingly this year’s new tea.
"Is the tea good?" Noble Consort Le asked with a smile.
She was dressed in a brocade palace jacket, with a voluptuous figure, enchanting and charming.
"Good!" Yun Jinnian responded indifferently.
"This is this year’s new tea, Wuhu Dahongpao. It’s said that spray pots were set up all around, and charcoal fires were lit inside, causing the tea to sprout new buds after the new year. It was delivered to the palace just yesterday. You’re really lucky to taste it!" Noble Consort Le said, also taking a sip.
"Can tea be forced to sprout ?" Yun Jinnian asked curiously.
"Yes, it’s the first time I’ve heard of it too. It’s quite rare. The Emperor even ordered basins to be set up in the rear garden to force flowers to bloom. I wonder what the result will be!"
"It will surely succeed!"
Noble Consort Le looked at Yun Jinnian and smiled.
This Princess Yijia was indeed cautious.
Even after all this casual chatting, she remained as composed as ever.
Putting down the teacup, she finally said, "I’ve been in the palace for some days, but my health has never been quite well. Although the Imperial Physician has checked, they couldn’t find anything. Today, I invited you to the palace because I know your medical skills are unparalleled and I want to ask for your help!"
Upon hearing this, Yun Jinnian put down her teacup.
She said to Hemei, "Hemei, make the preparations!"
Noble Consort Le already knew that Yun Jinnian had many rules for her consultations, but seeing Yun Jinnian wash and dry her hands several times still caused her to widen her eyes.
However, she said nothing, rolling up her sleeve and placing her arm on the pillow.
Yun Jinnian took Noble Consort Le’s pulse.
"How is it?" Noble Consort Le asked softly.
"Your Ladyship probably fell into water in your childhood, and it was in the coldest of winters. You might have had a fever then, but it wasn’t properly treated, leaving you with a hidden illness!"
Noble Consort Le was immensely surprised.
This could be detected through the pulse?
After gathering her thoughts, she spoke deeply, "Continue!"
