The palace wall reflects the moon

Chapter 3
Not seeing how coquettish Liu Guifei was, Concubine Meng Hui refused to give up. After returning to Yong'an Palace, she sent someone to tell Liu Guifei.

The eunuchs sent out came back empty-handed.

"Your Majesty, the Emperor has decreed that Liu Guibin does not have to leave Weiyang Palace."

"Been banned?" Meng Huifei was a little surprised.

The eunuch said carefully: "Concubine Liu said she didn't like to deal with other concubines in the harem, so the emperor granted her special privileges. She doesn't have to leave Weiyang Palace if she doesn't want to."

"waste!"

Concubine Meng Hui was very angry.

In this harem, there has never been a low-level concubine who dared to touch Concubine Meng Hui's face and refuse her summons. Liu Guifei was No. 1.

"She can't come, but I can always go! Aunt Qin, as a backup gift, I will go and congratulate her!"

Aunt Qin didn't make any move, but cautiously advised: "Your Majesty, Concubine Liu won't be in the limelight for long. Your Majesty is busy with everything. How many days can he remember her?"

Concubine Meng Hui walked back and forth in the palace, restless.

In the Yong'an Palace of Nuo Da, only Aunt Qin could talk to Concubine Meng Hui like this. The other palace people knelt on the ground tremblingly, fearing that their master would be unhappy and use themselves as a tool to vent their anger.

After walking back and forth for many times, Concubine Meng Hui said: "Aunt Qin, I can't wait any longer. If I keep waiting, one day she will be promoted to concubine, noble concubine, imperial concubine, and climb up to my head step by step. What will happen to me? ?”

"What can I do if your Majesty is gone now?" Aunt Qin persuaded her earnestly, "My Majesty is pregnant with the emperor's heir. This is the most important thing. She is just a noble concubine. We can't make an army with grass and trees, but we don't deserve to be messed up by our Majesty."

Just a noble concubine?

Concubine Meng Hui covered her abdomen with her hands, her eyes gleaming fiercely.

"I am a high-ranking concubine, and I am pregnant with a dragon seed. She is just a noble concubine who dares not to give me face. I will let her know what it means to have high heaven and earth. Otherwise, even an ant will dare to climb on my head. Got it!"

Seeing that the situation could no longer be controlled, Aunt Qin shut her mouth and looked forward to going to Weiyang Palace later to avoid causing any trouble.

Concubine Meng Hui decided to leave, so she dressed up, took dozens of maids and eunuchs, and marched out of Yong'an Palace.

But on the palace road, he met Eunuch Xi, the eunuch who was delivering the imperial decree.

Eunuch Xi came to remind Concubine Meng Hui to prepare meals tonight, and the emperor would come over.

Serving the emperor was important, so Concubine Meng Hui immediately transferred Luan Jia and returned to Yong'an Palace without stopping.

Aunt Qin let out a long sigh of relief and sighed for God's blessing.

For several hours, Concubine Meng Hui had been sitting in front of the bronze rhombus mirror, dressing up. She finally got her makeup done, but her choice of clothes was not satisfactory.

Aunt Qin said with a smile: "My queen looks good in anything she wears."

Concubine Meng Hui was born flamboyant and gorgeous, and she was in her prime. She could look good in any color or material.

Suddenly, she remembered something important: "Those two bitches in the woodshed should be watched carefully. Don't let them run out and let the emperor see them."

Aunt Qin nodded. She had already arranged for someone to guard the woodshed so that no fly could fly out.

Yong'an Palace is especially lively tonight.

In the closed woodshed, Xin Wei heard the melodious sound of pipa playing outside, as well as the chatter and laughter of the two guards guarding the door.

There may be some big happy event tonight, Concubine Hui is happy, and she and the palace people are also celebrating the new year, no need to be restrained.

Chu Ying sat on the ground, looking at the figures coming and going in the door and window, and took out a steamed bun from her chest.

The steamed buns were still warm, so she took a bite and wondered: "Why did you send two people to watch us? Was my stealing the steamed buns discovered?"

Xin Wei hugged her knees and sat next to her, and asked softly: "Little Master, do you want to leave here?"

"I've said it several times, it's so awkward for me to call my name..."

"Do you want to leave?"

"How can I not think about it? I'm thinking about it even in my dreams," Chu Ying answered without hesitation and said to herself, "But we can't get out. Concubine Meng Hui won't even let us out through this door... You did this to me Master, you are so pitiful."

Xin Wei said: "Staying here will only make your body and soul disappear."

Chu Ying swallowed the bun hard and slowly lowered her eyes.She has lived in this woodshed for several months, so she naturally knows how bleak the future will be.

Before Xiaoxiao entered the palace, she had imagined what the young emperor would look like. She had imagined that she would please the emperor, give birth to a noble prince or princess, and become a member of the Chu family.

I once thought it was just around the corner, but now I know how difficult it is.

Xin Wei said: "So I have to go out tonight."

"Huh?" Chu Ying thought she was talking nonsense.

Xin Wei looked into her eyes and said, "What I'm going to say next will be difficult for you, but this is your only chance. You have to be brave and you have to do it."

Next, Chu Ying listened with wide eyes as she told her a desperate and whimsical plan.

Although it is life-threatening, but... it may not be impossible to give it a try.

Chu Ying bit her lip and nodded at the two people at the door: "But, I can't get out."

"This is my business." Xin Wei had no intention of leaving through the front door. "When the time comes, I will help you out."

"But how did you know the emperor was here?"

Xin Wei raised her fingers and scratched the bridge of her nose.

If he hadn't come, why would Concubine Meng Hui be so happy, and why would she have to keep them under strict supervision?

This is what the concubines and concubines look forward to most.

At the beginning of the garrison, Eunuch Xi reminded Shen Xiao of the hour.

Shen Xiao put down his wine glass and said to Concubine Meng Hui: "Take good care of yourself. I will come to see you when I have time."

It was a rare sight that Concubine Meng Hui was reluctant to let him go, but she didn't dare to ask him to stay, so she had to get up and see him off.

The sound of the pipa stopped at this moment, and the palace people knelt on both sides to clear the way for the emperor.

Just when he reached the entrance of the palace and before he could go down the steps, a green shadow rolled down from the roof and landed in front of the emperor.

Shen Xiao stopped and wanted to take a closer look. Concubine Meng Hui was frightened and shouted in panic: "Where is the assassin from? Drag him down and beat him to death with sticks!"

Shen Xiao waved his hand, signaling the guards to retreat and not to step forward.

She is as tall as a woman and is not a threat.Besides, which company would send such a crappy assassin?

Chu Ying landed on her face, her whole body hurt from the fall, and her limbs seemed to be broken inch by inch, making it difficult to move.

Finally, she raised herself up with her hands on the ground, and Concubine Meng Hui stood in front of her.

"Your Majesty, is this the maid I sent to build the roof of the palace? She is so clumsy, how could she fall down?" Concubine Meng Hui scolded her loudly, and then ordered two other maids, "Caiqin, Susu, help her up." Go inside and see if there are any injuries!"

Shen Xiao thought to herself that those were not the clothes of a palace maid at all, but probably the clothes of a low-level concubine, Jieyu agreed, or something like that.

There was something fishy going on, but he didn't want to interfere.

Caiqin and Susu picked up Chu Ying and dragged her aside.

Shen Xiao didn't look there anymore, stepped down the steps with his long legs, and walked out.

"I belong to the eldest princess! Your Majesty, save me!"

Chu Ying's lips and teeth trembled, and after several efforts, she finally shouted.

She shouted out what Xin Wei told her to say, and her ears were buzzing from her own voice, and suddenly she couldn't hear anything.

It took a while to realize that the person who was pulling her had let go of her, but Chu Ying couldn't stand up, her whole body was shaking violently, and her face was filled with tears unknowingly.

She lay on the ground in panic, panting rapidly, her eyes filled with tears, her vision blurry, and she slowly could see clearly.

A pair of dark boots embroidered with gold dragon patterns stopped in front of her.

"Your Majesty, help!" Chu Ying raised her head and fainted.
