Chapter 141 The Concubine's Grievance

When I fall asleep, I stop thinking about it.

When he woke up, it was dark outside, Si Jin raised the curtain and called people in, and the lights in the room were already lit.

"What time is it?"

"If you go back to the master, it's the last moment."

"It's so late?"

Si Jinji pulled up her shoes and stood up, Yun Shang quickly put on big clothes for her, and Hua Rong brought someone in with copper basins, kettles, towels and handkerchiefs.After Si Jin washed her hands and face, she sat in front of the bronze mirror and said to Hua Rong, "It will be done after a little braiding, and I won't go out at night." Si Jin's scalp hurts when she put her hair in a bun, so Si Jin would be lazy if she could.

Hua Rong hurriedly responded, picked up the ivory comb and flipped it up and down in his hand, neatly pulled up his black hair casually, inserted a jade hairpin, and lit it up once and for all, quite graceful breath.

"The emperor hasn't come yet?" Si Jin frowned lightly and asked as she walked out, sitting on the big couch by the window outside, looking sideways at Yun Chang.

Yun Shang paused, and looked at the master feeling embarrassed, but said with a relaxed mouth: "Maybe the emperor is still busy, why don't I let Shunquan go and have a look?"

Isn't Si Jin really a child, looking at Yun Shang's expression, what do you not understand, Xiao Qi is staying in Changle Palace?

Si Jin didn't open her mouth, and the atmosphere in the room became heavy all of a sudden, like a sponge filled with water and pressed down heavily.Pulling the soft ginger-yellow flower pillow behind her, Si Jin only felt her heart churning and burning, and she told herself over and over again that there was nothing unexpected about this. The imperial concubine had made enough preparations, so she would naturally think of a way to get Xiao Qi left.

Yunshang and Huarong tensed their faces, Si Jin looked at them and forced a smile, "It's so late, let's pass the meal."

Hearing the master opened his mouth, Yunshang and Huarong quickly responded, Huarong went out to pass on the message, but Yunshang felt a little sad in his heart, and had to persuade him: "Master, don't be sad in your heart, the concubine said yes The little princess has been crying and crying for her father, so she invited the emperor to go."

"Why are you nervous? Even if the emperor doesn't go to see his daughter, can't he still go to see the noble concubine?" Si Jin felt uncomfortable, but she couldn't disturb the mind of the subordinates. Looking at Yun Chang's pale face, the expression on her face The smile widened a bit, "Okay, what a big deal, everyone should go to bed early after dinner."

The dinner delivered by the imperial dining room was very sumptuous, with eight dishes and one soup, all of which were Si Jin's favorite flavors.Usually, she can eat quite a lot of these meals, but today she has no appetite at all, she picks and eats a few chopsticks over and over again, gritted her teeth and drank half a bowl of porridge, and then she couldn't eat any more.

Seeing that the master ate so much, both Yunshang and Huarong were a little anxious. After all, Huarong was not sure enough, so he said: "Master, you can eat more, don't wrong yourself for other irrelevant people."

The words were a little too much, Yun Shang quickly pulled Huarong, and Huarong swallowed back the words behind her, but there were tears in her eyes, and she blinked vigorously and swallowed them back.

Seeing them like this, Si Jin slowly dissipated the anger in her heart, and said with a smile: "I know you are all thinking of me, I really feel a little uncomfortable today, it's not to vent my anger, let's withdraw."

Hearing the master's words calmly, Yun Shang nodded hurriedly, "The servant is given a bowl of milk, and the master will drink a bowl later?"

Si Jin nodded, always felt that milk was a bit fishy and not as mellow as later generations, so she didn't like to drink a bowl every day.I had no appetite at first, and I was afraid that these girls would be poor, so I nodded in agreement.

The food in the room was withdrawn, Huarong made a cup of hawthorn flower tea by herself, and Yunshang took someone to raise the milk.I met Chen De'an in the yard outside, she quickly walked a few steps, went up to Pitou and asked, "Did you find out?"

Chen De'an shook his head, "Changle Palace is guarded tightly, I don't dare to go forward rashly, it would be bad if I get misunderstood and implicate the master."

Yun Chang's complexion sank, and he snorted coldly, "I'm afraid that Changle Palace is afraid that our Yihexuan will invite the emperor, so people guard the door. I don't think that Changle Palace used to borrow the little princess's Name, how many things like this have you done?"

"My little aunt, please don't say a few words. The obvious limelight over there is in full swing. Why do you need to speak ruthlessly to bring trouble on yourself?"

"I just feel sorry for the master. The emperor said he would come here at night."

The two were silent for a while, and after a while Chen De'an said: "The imperial concubine waited so hard for such an opportunity, how could she let it go so easily."

Everyone understands this truth, but it really happened, and it is hard to avoid feeling sad.After all, it has been so long, the emperor only stayed overnight in Yihexuan and Chongming Palace.

"I'm going to pick up the milk. The master didn't eat much at night, and he's still holding on to a smile, for fear that we slaves will be worried." Yun Shang blushed, wiped the corners of her eyes with a handkerchief, and then walked away quickly.

Yunshang walked forward, and Shunquan trotted over behind him, "Master, you and your father-in-law are here."

He Shiyi?
Chen De'an didn't know what He Shiyi was doing here at this moment, but he couldn't offend anyone under the current situation, so he hurriedly greeted him out in person.

"And Eunuch, what's the important thing that you come here at this late hour?"

He Shiyi wiped the sweat from his forehead, and then said with a smile: "It's nothing important, the emperor asked the servant to report, saying that he might not be able to make it tonight, so Master Xi should rest first."

Chen De'an was disappointed for a while, but the emperor only brought the letter, and the rest of his heart was relieved, and he thanked him with a busy smile, "Thank you for making this trip, take a rest after drinking tea let's go."

He Shiyi wanted to inquire about Xi Wanyi's situation, so he followed Chen De'an into the side room to drink tea and talk.Chen De'an is an old cunning man. Hearing He Shiyi's questioning, he sighed and said, "Master Xi's appetite has not been very good these days. I didn't eat anything at noon today, so I will eat at night. Yun Chang went to pick up the milk for the master to use when he was hungry, but the master's complexion is very bad these days, even if the master does not want to cause trouble to the Tai Hospital, and does not allow anyone to come to see the pulse."

He Shiyi couldn't understand what Chen De'an meant, but he didn't dare to promise anything, so he asked a few more questions about daily life, then he left and went to talk to his master.

After hearing He Shiyi's words, Guan Chang'an thought it was Xi Wanyi who was jealous and awkward and refused to eat. If he spread the word like this, the emperor might move his feet to Yihexuan.But if he spread the word, the imperial concubine would hate him to death.He was not worried that the imperial concubine would blatantly trouble him, but he was also unwilling to forge such a strong enemy.

After much deliberation, Guan Chang'an also had second thoughts, how could this matter be better?

When he was hesitating, Mao Donglin leaned over with a smile, "Grandpa Guan, we haven't had a drink together for a while, and I prepared a jug of good wine in the side hall this evening, so I have to talk to you." Woolen cloth."

Guan Chang'an didn't move his feet for a while, but was entangled by Mao Donglin. After several excuses, he couldn't escape, and was surrounded by several young eunuchs and dragged abruptly to the side hall.Guan Changan winked at He Shiyi before being dragged away, and He Shiyi was also dumbfounded. Under such circumstances, how should he reply?

The imperial concubine had to skin him alive!
Xiao Qi was playing with his daughter in the room, the little baby always wanted to pull his sleeves to stand up, but because of lack of strength, this time he failed.Xiao Qi pinched her armpits with both hands, and helped her walk around him. The father and daughter had a great time playing.

The noble concubine next to her watched this scene with a smile, and she was slightly relieved, no matter what, it was a good thing for the emperor to stay.Thinking about it now, I still complained about having a daughter before, but now it is not a bad thing to see a daughter.Thinking of this, the smile on her face became even wider, seeing Yuzhen rubbing her saliva on Xiao Qi's skirt, she hurriedly hugged her up, "Don't be naughty, dirty your father's clothes. "

Yuzhen felt a little unhappy being held in the arms of her mother and concubine, and stretched out her arms to look for Xiao Qi.The imperial concubine called the nanny to come in, and wanted her to take Yuzhen away. If the child didn't leave, how could she get close to the emperor?
Xiao Qi glanced at the noble concubine, with a slight smile on his brows and eyes, "What do children know, I still despise my daughter?" He hugged Yuzhen as he spoke, and the two father and daughter began to play and help each other. Yuzhen's laughter filled the room.

He Shiyi who was outside the door heard the movement in the room, put one foot in and then retracted it, and leaned against the master outside the hall, frowning for a while.

After finally coaxing Yuzhen to sleep, Concubine Su Gui was so tired that her waist was sore and her back ached. This child is just too energetic and always tossing and tossing non-stop.

"This child is very close to the emperor. He has never slept late like this before. Today, seeing the emperor here is going to be crazy." Sitting in front of the bronze mirror, the imperial concubine took off her bun, her eyes twitched at the emperor who was sitting on the big couch. laughed.

Xiao Qi didn't look at the noble concubine when he heard the words, and said: "My daughter is naturally close to me."

"If you have such a petty temper, you will have a big temper. I don't know how much care I have to spend when I look at her every day. The emperor can't keep pampering her like this, so as not to get used to an arrogant temper." The noble concubine is real A little worried, Yuzhen's temper didn't know who to follow, she was very temperamental, and she would cry loudly when she didn't like it, and the crying person's brain hurt.

"It doesn't matter if my princess has a bigger temper, who else would dare to be angry with her?" Xiao Qi replied, looking up at the imperial concubine, he saw her face under the light with a big satisfied smile, and for a moment The smile on his face faded a little.

"It's great for the emperor to say that. When Yuzhen understands the matter, I'm afraid she can't control it anymore." The concubine's beautiful face was full of smiles, and there was a topic between the two of them. There are even more, unlike before, I always have to rack my brains to think about what to say.
