Acacia, don't be negative

Chapter 610 The woman in the harem

After Wang Zhanyue jumped into the lake, she caught cold and fell into a coma for several days.In a daze, she felt that people came and left from time to time. She had a dream. Although she only had a glimpse of Su Ruoqing, she dreamed of him. In the dream, she seemed to have known him for a long time, and she was not unfamiliar at all.

At that time, she felt that it might be the right time to come to Beijing this time.

During the days when she was asleep, the draft matters came to an end one after another.Su Ruoqing selected a few good girls from the show girls, starting from the low-ranking harem concubines.The rest of the beautiful women can stay if they are willing to be maids in the palace, and those who are not can return to their hometowns.

Regarding Wang Zhanyue's going or staying, Su Ruoqing has never said anything about it, and the palace people in the harem don't know what he thinks, so they still dare not be too negligent.

As for Concubine Xi, because Wang Zhanyue jumped into the lake, Su Ruoqing let Li Ruyi take full control of the matter, and Li Ruyi didn't criticize her too much, but asked her to reflect on the wall of her palace for half a month, and not to step out of herself during the time of reflection. Half a step from the palace gate.

Although Concubine Xi was introspecting in her own palace, she was always in a state of despair.It's probably because she hasn't recovered from Su Ruoqing's indifference to her, relying on Su Ruoqing's love for her, she will never be so wronged no matter what.

Concubine Xi didn't think about food and drink all day long, so the servant girl Cuihuan kept persuading her from the sidelines, saying: "Your Majesty, don't be overly sad, it will make you tired. Your Majesty is probably too busy these days, so he doesn't have time to take care of your Majesty. But the empress must not be discouraged, she should cherish her body even more, and wait until the emperor comes to serve the emperor well!"

Concubine Xi said with a haggard face, "Why is the emperor's heart still on me now?" She slowly reached out and stroked her face, "I might be able to attract him with this face before, but didn't you realize that?" He also gradually lost interest in my face. Tell me, what else can I use to keep the emperor!" Concubine Xi smiled wryly, with tears in her smile, "Now that newcomers enter the palace, the emperor is probably busy recruiting Let the newlyweds come forward and serve you."

Cuihuan was injured with her master, she was choked up immediately and couldn't speak, her eyes were as red as bubbles.When she didn't know how to comfort Concubine Xi, the palace people outside sang loudly: "Ms. Ruyi is here——"

Cuihuan was startled, and hurried to help Concubine Xi, but Concubine Xi was indifferent, and just knelt on the ground, showing no appearance at all.Cuihuan said anxiously: "Madam, Madam Ruyi is here, let's get up quickly to pick him up."

Concubine Xi pushed her away, and said: "I am confined in this palace, it is all thanks to her, what else can I do or not! I am a sinner, she loves to come Not coming!"

"Bold!"

This remark happened to be heard by Li Ruyi, who was walking to the door, and Rui Xiang, who was beside her, immediately yelled, feeling really angry for Li Ruyi.

Concubine Xi paused for a moment, then slowly raised her head, and saw Li Ruyi standing at the door, dressed in dignified and luxurious clothes, and she could not help raising her chin slightly provocatively and unyieldingly, and said: "The concubine is guilty of the crime." In my body, I am restraining my feet and thinking about my mistakes, so I forgive my ministers and concubines for not being able to stand up to meet your mother."

Li Ruyi stood at the door for a while before stepping in and said, "Get up, let you think about your mistakes behind closed doors, but don't let you kneel on the ground and think about your mistakes. Looking at Concubine Xi's attitude today, she must think that she has never done anything wrong. Bar."

Concubine Xi was supported by Cuihuan, and she said stubbornly: "No matter how many times the concubine said, I am afraid that the mother would not believe it. The concubine never thought of pushing that Wang Zhanyue into the lake!"

"I know." She looked at Concubine Xi and said, "But Wang Zhanyue jumped into the lake because of you. It's a light punishment for you to contemplate your mistakes behind closed doors in the palace, and it's for your own good."

"For the sake of my concubine?" Concubine Xi became more and more dissatisfied, "If it was really for the sake of my concubine, why didn't the empress ask the emperor for mercy that day, and why did she confine the concubine? The concubine could not return to the emperor's side, and there was a new one by his side. Xiu Nu serving, this is called being a concubine! You don’t know how much a concubine’s heart hurts!”

Li Ruyi didn't speak for a while.

Concubine Xi laughed twice, and said: "Why, my lady has been taken into consideration by what I said, so she has nothing to say? You have done all this because you can't understand me being favored in the palace and are jealous of me! Because you I regret bringing me into the palace at the beginning, so that the emperor will not favor me alone!"

Li Ruyi didn't speak, Ruixiang couldn't help it, and said angrily: "Miss Xi, you have to be conscientious. If my mother hadn't brought you back, would you have become the master of the first palace like today? It's good now, you Instead, he will bite our mother!"

Concubine Xi glared at her, she was beautiful, but she was always a woman who was gradually falling into jealousy and vying for favor, she scolded Ruixiang, "What kind of thing are you, you dare to yell at me here?!"

"you"

"Ruixiang." Li Ruyi reprimanded at the right time, before Ruixiang stopped talking.She looked at Concubine Xi and said slowly: "You should know that I brought you back because you looked exactly like a certain person, and it was because of your appearance that you won the emperor's favor. But, if you say that I am jealous of you, That's really the case, why should I bring you back. All the women in this harem belong to the emperor, but the emperor does not belong to any of us. Our mission in this harem is to do our best to serve you well. Your Majesty, I brought you back to make the Emperor happy, not to annoy him, do you understand?" She looked at Concubine Xi with a slight coldness in her plain eyes, "If you do that in the future, can you not say Let's not talk about it."

Concubine Xi doesn't have any influence in the palace, and Li Ruyi brought up her today.No matter what, Concubine Xi still didn't dare to go too far. Hearing what Li Ruyi said, she didn't speak back.

Li Ruyi said again: "The emperor doesn't like female sex, and among the exquisite and beautiful women he selected, only two were left in the end, and both of them have gone to bed. I haven't heard the emperor mention it, so it's not surprising. Yes. You have thought about it, and when the time expires, go to Wang Zhanyue to accompany you." Concubine Xi just wanted to interject, but was suppressed by Li Ruyi's next sentence, "Maybe let the emperor know that you have always had Proper, what happened last time was just an exception."

Concubine Xi said reluctantly: "My concubine, thank you for your advice. May I ask my lady, is Wang Zhanyue included among the two beautiful girls left by the emperor?"

Li Ruyi said: "No, I don't know how the emperor wants to deal with it. Let's talk about it after her typhoid fever recovers. I won't bother you here, you can do it yourself."

When she was about to leave, Concubine Xi asked unwillingly: "Your Majesty, may I ask your Majesty, what should I do to win the emperor's favor again?"

Li Ruyi said: "The more you want to tighten it, the more you won't get it, let's just let nature take its course."

After Li Ruyi left, Cuihuan supported Concubine Xi to sit down. Concubine Xi brushed off her skirt and said disdainfully, "It's only because she let nature take its course that she will never win the Emperor."

After leaving Concubine Xi's palace gate, Ruixiang became more and more angry as she thought about it, and said, "Mother, Concubine Xi is so defiant, why does your empress bother to mention her?"

Li Ruyi said: "I brought her into the palace, it's just a matter of talking about her, but she still has to walk the road ahead."

Rui Xiang said: "But seeing Concubine Xi like that, slaves may not be able to accept your empress' love."

Li Ruyi looked at the sky, sighed lightly, and said, "Forget it, there is only one Ye Song in this world, no matter how much he looks like, even if he is deceived, it will only be a moment, not a lifetime. What happens next is up to her."

In the next few days, it was not Concubine Xi who pretended to be sick on purpose, she really fell ill because she didn't think about eating or drinking.Cuihuan hurriedly invited the imperial physician to come, but when she checked Concubine Xi's pulse, she was immediately overjoyed.

Concubine Xi is actually happy.

When the news reached Su Ruoqing's ears, he was only slightly stunned for a moment, and then regained his composure.At that time, he was busy with official duties and didn't have time to visit Concubine Xi, so he ordered his father-in-law to send him many rewards, and also spared Concubine Xi from being grounded.

Concubine Xi suddenly became lively again.

Wang Zhanyue woke up and found that she was back in Chuxiu Palace, surrounded by palace servants in twos and threes.Seeing her wake up, he quickly gave her a bowl of medicine and watched her drink it.She woke up with some anticipation, hoping to see the shadow by the lake last time, but she didn't expect that the scene in front of her was a little deserted.

A court lady said sweetly: "Sister Zhanyue is really lucky. She is the first sister in this palace to be brought back by the emperor in person in public. It's too late for the envy of other palaces."

Wang Zhanyue asked, "Where are the others?"

The court lady replied: "During the days when my sister was in a coma, she might not know that the audition is over. The emperor only left two beautiful women in the harem, and the rest have already left the palace."

Wang Zhanyue's head was a little heavy, her nose was a little stuffy, she pointed to her own nose and said in a nasal voice: "Then am I counted among the two?"

The maid shook her head and said: "The emperor only ordered us to take care of you, probably because he wanted to wait for you to recover from illness before making another order."

Wang Zhanyue fell back on the bed again, let out a sigh of relief, and said to herself: "Then I was chosen or not."
