Charm Ji confuses the world

Chapter 351
Chu Xiao woke up in the early morning of the second day. The peach blossoms were drunk very well. He drank a lot last night. When he woke up today, his head still hurt.

Opening his eyes, he looked around and found that he was listening to Sheng Gong.

What happened last night is already very vague, and I can't remember the general idea.

Chu Xiao sat up and found that her clothes were neatly folded on the screen in front of the bed. She was the only one on the huge mahogany bed.

Hearing some movement inside, a maid came in immediately outside to help Chu Xiao get up and wash up.

After Chu Xiao got dressed, she didn't see the owner of Tingsheng Palace, so she couldn't help but feel a little strange. If it were a year ago, that woman would have liked to stick to her body all the time, and now she rested in her bedroom all night , why hasn't she moved yet?

"Where's Concubine Ling?"

"My lord, someone came into the palace early this morning and said that the prime minister was drunk at the inn in Luoyang City and was unconscious. Your Excellency the Prime Minister."

Ling Siyao?That's right, since the incident in Tianshan, this Ling Siyao has become crazy. It's okay if he doesn't drink alcohol, but once he drinks alcohol, he will call a woman Qianqian. The face of home.

It was also suffering for Lingsheng, and when Lingsheng was with her, it was the most beautiful time for the Hua family.

At that time, her mother was the eldest princess of the dynasty, her father was the powerful prime minister of the dynasty, and her grandmother was the current Empress Dowager Hua.

But now, the eldest princess is exiled to other places. It is said that during the exile, she went crazy. Once she broke free from the shackles of the guards. In the process of escaping, she accidentally fell and knocked her head on a sharp boulder, and died. .

Chu Xiao knew that Lingsheng had always liked her mother, and she must have been in great pain when she heard the news, but he didn't visit her, and she didn't come to Chu Xiao because of this matter.

"What did she say before she left?"

While tying the jade belt around Chu Xiao's waist, the palace maid replied cautiously: "The imperial concubine said, let us not disturb the king's rest, saying that you have been tired these days, and now you have a good sleep. Let the servants not move around, so as not to disturb the peace of the king."

"Is there any more?" Having not been in touch with Lingsheng for more than a year, has she become so understanding?
"The imperial concubine also said that she asked the imperial dining room to make sober soup for you. She said that you drank too much last night because you were too greedy. After waking up today, you will definitely be in pain. The soup is almost here now."

Chu Xiao thought that Lingsheng would tell them to come over tonight to listen to Shenggong to see her, and to say how much she missed him.

Now it seems that she has indeed changed too much.

For some reason, Chu Xiao felt a little pity for Lingsheng in her heart.

Today's Lingsheng does not have any support. The Empress Dowager Hua is now in Fengqi Palace and can hardly leave the palace. Lingsheng's mother, Hua Lan, also died accidentally during the escort. The only thing Lingsheng relies on is her body. The father who was the prime minister has now become her burden.

Not only did Lingsheng lose her support, but she was still cleaning up the mess for her drunken father day after day.

At the beginning, she also had a bright smile, was jealous, and was a smiling official lady. Over the past few years, she has gradually changed.

Become gentle, become put away their edges and corners.

She also lost her child a year ago, and he watched Geer disappear in front of him again a year ago, so even though Chu Xiao knew that Lingsheng had a miscarriage and needed someone to visit, she still ignored her. Immersed in the shadow of Ge'er jumping off the cliff, he couldn't get out.

Aunt Suqin, who was in charge of the lamp in the Sheng Palace, came in with a hangover soup, which still had a faint scent of sweet-scented osmanthus.

"In this February weather, where did you get such a rich sweet-scented osmanthus?"

"Back to Your Majesty, this is my master who got up at the fourth watch today, carefully picking out small sweet-scented osmanthus flowers under the lamp, because you want to drink some porridge in the morning to nourish your stomach, and only thin strips are slowly twisted, these August sweet-scented osmanthus flowers It still smells so strong in February."

It turned out that the aroma came from the bowl of porridge next to the hangover soup.

"What's your name?"

"Back to your majesty, the slave is Suqin, the aunt in charge of Tingsheng Palace."

Suqin's age can be regarded as relatively older in this palace.

"Suqin, you have been in this palace for a long time. I have heard from the former empress dowager that you are fairly upright and orderly."

"Thank you for your compliment. Taking care of these things is originally the responsibility of slaves. The job of slaves is to do these things well."

The maid waited for Chu Xiao to sit down, Suqin put the hangover soup aside to dry, and put the porridge in front of Chu Xiao.

"Your Majesty said, drink porridge first, it will nourish your stomach."

Chu Xiao smiled slightly, unexpectedly being kind: "Suqin? Who have you served before?"

"Returning to your lord, I used to be a servant in the Empress Dowager's Palace for a period of time, and then went to serve Lin Meiren and Duan Meiren, and was finally sent by the late emperor to serve as a servant in the concubine Rou's palace. Later, because of the late emperor's southern tour, I was The old man in the palace was sent by Concubine Rou to follow the late emperor and take care of his daily life."

Chu Xiao's hands visibly trembled, no wonder he saw Suqin familiar, it turned out that she had served the concubine mother.

"Then what do you think of this Concubine Ling?"

As soon as the voice fell, Chu Xiao added another sentence: "Remember, answer after thinking about it."

After Suqin arranged the porridge for Chu Xiao, she stood aside and answered Chu Xiao's question in a polite manner: "My lord, the imperial concubine is actually not bad in nature. Earlier, because she was an official, she Born as a young lady, her temper is unavoidable. In the harem, she would occasionally compete with some women for the sake of the king, which may have brought a lot of trouble to the king. Became cautious, now, she has no reliance, and she has become much more stable in dealing with things."

This Suqin is very good at talking, and also very good at controlling her senses.

Now I heard that the people in Sheng Palace are grasshoppers on the same line as Lingsheng, and to be honest, Concubine Linggui has treated them well and filially over the past year, even if Empress Dowager Hua is in Fengqi Palace. Living in such a gloomy palace, she is not too unlucky, she goes there twice a month, sits and talks with Queen Mother Hua.

"I know, these few days of Chinese New Year, the food in Sheng Palace is quite to my taste, after Concubine Ling Gui comes back, you tell her that I will come again tonight and ask her to prepare dinner, you guys Treat the imperial concubine with all your heart."

All the maids and eunuchs in the room knelt down and said in unison: "You servants obey orders."

Chu Xiao got up and walked out of Tingsheng Palace. Lin Ying, who had been guarding outside all night, immediately stepped forward and followed behind him.

"Did she play tricks last night to keep me here on purpose?"

"Back to your majesty, Concubine Ling did not force you to stay last night, it was you who hugged Concubine and refused to let her go."

Chu Xiao frowned, it seemed that she was indeed suspicious.

But what happened last night, I really have no memory at all.
