Chapter 200 Epiphyllum
The next day.
News came from the palace that the night-blooming cereus in the imperial garden was in full bloom tonight, and Concubine Chen invited Tang Wanru to visit the palace.
So before it got dark, Tang Wanru took a carriage to the palace.
At the same time, Tang Yue'er's carriage also arrived at the palace gate.
The wind blew the curtains of the two carriages.
The two looked at each other and saw each other.
"Yuer?" Tang Wanru stopped the carriage and asked, "Why are you here?"
Tang Yue'er also stopped the carriage. She sat in the carriage, deliberately poked her head out and looked around, then glanced at her calmly and said, "Sister, are you asking me?"
"Correct."
Tang Yueer had a haughty expression on her face, as if she was asking a question she already knew the answer to: "I'm entering the palace, what else can I do?"
Tang Wanru was amused by her smug look and asked, "Is my sister also entering the palace?"
"Yes, I am the prince's wife, and I often go to the palace." Tang Yue'er looked puzzled by this question.
"That's right." Tang Wanru smiled secretly in her heart, and followed her words on her face, "Sister, are you also invited to the palace to see the Epiphyllum today?"
Tang Yueer sneered when she heard this. This was something that only someone who was treated as a guest would do, but she was not. She was invited by the imperial concubine.
Sitting in the carriage, she proudly flicked the dust off her sleeves and replied, "I'm not, it was Concubine Yu who called me over to chat."
She glanced at Tang Wanru and said, "Empress Yu Guifei is pregnant with a child. She and I are the most compatible and have the most topics to talk about, so she often calls me to the palace to chat."
"Oh, I see." Tang Wanru nodded.
"Then I'll go first." Tang Yue'er raised her arm and ordered the carriage to move on.
As a result, the carriage was stopped by the guard in front before it had gone far. The guard shouted to Tang Yue'er in a stern manner: "Stop!"
The carriage stopped in a hurry, causing Tang Yueer to stagger. She pressed the window and lifted the curtain and asked, "What happened?"
"What do you do?" the guard asked when he saw that the driver looked unfamiliar.
"I..." Tang Yue'er was embarrassed. She was afraid that Tang Wanru behind her would see this scene, so she lowered her voice and said, "I am the wife of the prince of Yongning Marquis's Mansion. It was Concubine Yu who asked me to go to the palace to accompany her. Let me in quickly."
Unexpectedly, the guard did not give way at all. There are so many ladies entering the palace every day, who can recognize who? The guard frowned and asked the person behind him to report to Concubine Yu, then waved his hand high and ordered: "Wait aside, next one!"
Tang Yue'er was speechless and could only stop to the side.
At this time, Tang Wanru's car also arrived. The guard had received the order from Concubine Chen. When he saw Tang Wanru, he immediately put on a humble smile and bowed to let her in, saying, "Young Madam, please come in!"
The carriage entered the palace smoothly.
Tang Wanru lifted the car curtain and smiled gently at Tang Yueer: "Then sister, I will go in first."
Tang Yueer's face turned purple with anger.

Huachen Palace.
Concubine Chen was trying on the clothes she was going to wear to enjoy viewing the Epiphyllum tonight in the palace. She stood in the bronze mirror and looked left and right. The maids also gave her many suggestions, but she always felt that it did not look good.
Seeing Tang Wanru coming, she immediately came out to greet him with a smile: "Wanru, you are here."
"Greetings, Empress Chen." Tang Wanru bowed.
"Wanru, please get up quickly." Chen Fei hurried forward and held her arm affectionately, saying, "In the future, when there are no outsiders around, you don't have to be so polite when you see me."
She pulled Tang Wanru into the room, walked to the front, turned her clothes around and asked, "Just now they all had their own opinions, and I was confused by them. Wanru, what do you think of this dress of mine?"
The dress is azure blue with crabapple flowers embroidered on it. The style is novel and elegant, and it looks pretty good.
Tang Wanru's gaze moved to her cuffs, and her eyes darkened slightly.
Seeing that Tang Wanru looked strange, Concubine Chen asked, "Why doesn't it look good?"
"No." Tang Wanru smiled, "The clothes are nice, but Madam, it's spring now, and your undershirt is too thick and too tight. It's windless tonight, so it will be very hot. I think it would be better to change your undershirt into a thinner and looser one, so you can enjoy the Epiphyllum in a cool and refreshing way."
After Tang Wanru said this, Chen Fei really felt hot.
"Look, I'm so stupid. The weather is getting hot, but I'm still wearing winter clothes. No wonder Zhuo Qi always says that I can't keep up with your fashion. Wait for me to change." Chen Fei said and walked quickly inside.

the other side.
Tang Yue'er also came to the door of Concubine Yu's Ningyu Palace. The maid who brought her in asked her to wait inside first, and she ran in to report.
Tang Yue'er put her hands together in front of her and looked around at everything in the yard in amazement.
This palace is so huge, she just walked for a long time. Although she was asked to keep her head down, she still saw a lot of the surrounding scenery.
There were palace gates everywhere and the roads were swept spotlessly clean. She had never seen such a beautiful place.
It is much bigger than the Yongning Marquis Mansion.
Tang Yue'er was amazed inwardly and couldn't help but take a few more glances at the surrounding scenery.
After a while, the palace maid who went in to report came out. She saw Tang Yue'er looking around with her eyes fixed on the world, and she felt contempt for her. She waved her hand in disdain, "Come in with me."
Tang Yue'er then bent over and followed him into the door.
Ningyu Palace was filled with a strong aroma. As soon as Tang Yueer came in, she saw Concubine Yu leaning seductively on the carved bed in a tube top dress. She was about to go forward to pay her respects when she was stopped by the maid, who rolled her eyes at her and motioned for her to wait here first.
Tang Yue'er had no choice but to put her hands in front of her and wait silently.
In the palace, Concubine Yu was leaning on the soft bed, supporting her head with one hand and closing her eyes to rest. Two palace maids were also kneeling on the bed, massaging her arms and legs.
Concubine Yu closed her eyes and frowned, as if something was bothering her.
The maid who was massaging her arm was more clever. She said, "I think your Majesty doesn't need to worry about the King of Wei."
"If the Prince of Wei wants to truly gain the favor of the Emperor, his mother, Concubine Chen, must have a stable position. Either Concubine Chen's family is capable, or Concubine Chen herself is favored. But now, Your Majesty, look, the Emperor hasn't been to Concubine Chen for a long time. I'm afraid the Emperor has forgotten that there is such a person in the harem." The maid said, "If you ask me, Concubine Chen will never be as good as you, the Imperial Concubine, and the Prince of Wei will never be as good as the Crown Prince."
Concubine Yu listened and raised her eyelids.
Although she said so, the King of Wei was too popular. She was worried about the worst, and the Crown Prince was not doing well. She was really troubled.
"My queen." The maid saw that she was frowning, so she raised her hand that was massaging her arm and stroked her eyebrows.
"You are pregnant, so you can't overwork. It would be bad if it affects the little prince." said the maid.
After hearing this, Imperial Concubine Yu frowned suddenly. The one in her belly was now her treasure, and no one could say anything bad about him, not even if he might be bad. Thinking of this, Imperial Concubine Yu angrily swept the maid's hand away.
The maid was startled and didn't know what she had said wrong.
Imperial Concubine Yu raised her eyelids and said, "Is the Epiphyllum about to bloom? Find someone to wash my feet and change my clothes. I want to go and take a look."
"Yes." The maid had just made Imperial Concubine Yu unhappy, and she was also a little annoyed. She shouted directly at the door, "Imperial Concubine wants to wash her feet. Didn't you hear? Why don't you go and get some water?!"
Tang Yueer looked up and found that she was the only one standing at the door.
And the palace maid really seemed to be talking to herself.
"Me?" Tang Yue'er asked, pointing at her nose.
