Chapter 13

Xiaoman heard three light clappings outside the door, this was the first time he heard it.Her mind gradually came to her senses, but she still closed her eyes and pretended to be asleep.She was thinking for a while how to behave differently from other women without arousing Zheng Kangdi's disgust.Just thinking about it, she heard the emperor get up.

Zhang Deming and Eunuch Zhang are helping the emperor change his clothes.Hearing the rustling sound of getting dressed, Xiaoman pretended to be awakened, quickly knelt up from the bed, stared innocently at Emperor Zhengkang with hazy eyes, looked at a loss, and had a silly childish look .

The corner of Emperor Zhengkang's mouth twitched, Xiaoman seemed to have just realized it, and hurriedly got out of bed to help the emperor change his clothes.

"Your majesty, slave girl, slave girl, slave girl deserves to die. I didn't know why I slept so deeply last night. I made a mistake. I didn't serve you well. I don't dare to do this anymore. Please punish me." Xiaoman knelt down to help the emperor tidy up. He raised his head and pleaded pitifully to the emperor.

Emperor Zhengkang pulled Xiao Man, who looked like a frightened deer, into his arms, "Well, damn it, she fell asleep like a pig, and put her head into my arms, sleeping so hard that I couldn't even touch him." Xiao Man said so He even buried his head in the emperor's arms, shyly refusing to lift it up.She thought to herself, I'm just pretending, okay? I'm pretending to be very attached to you, so you can take pity on me.

"You're acting like a baby again, you're almost messing up my clothes." Emperor Zhengkang stroked Xiaoman's black hair with one hand and said, "You still call me a slave girl, you have been my woman since last night, you should be called a concubine, you little fool. Also, how to punish you, you have to think about how to remedy it, let me experience your performance next time."

Eunuch Zhang slightly raised his eyes and glanced at Xiao Man who was shaking his head, swaying his waist, pouting his mouth, and blinking his big eyes. With such a lowly background, the emperor could say these words in one night. I don’t know if he is really stupid. It's not easy to be sympathetic or scheming.

Xiaoman knelt to send Zhengkang Emperor out, always affectionately but reluctantly watched the emperor leave until he was out of sight.She wants the emperor to know that she loves and is attached to the emperor very much.In this deep palace, she really can only survive by relying on the emperor.

While Mei Hong was tidying up the messy bed, Xiao Man took a look at the new house.This is the west side hall of Jing'an Palace - Cunfang Hall, what a vulgar name, but the woman who lived here was originally waiting to be favored, which is very appropriate.One main hall and two side rooms, the layout is not big, but the decoration is quite exquisite, she lives in an unknown woman, which is very good.

Concubine Li is very good at food, clothing and housing to save face, no matter how much she hates Xiao Man in her heart, she will not let the emperor see it.After all, a virtuous, non-jealous woman wins the emperor's heart better than a jealous woman.

Xiaoman was tired all night, exhausted, he didn't even bother to move a finger.But she understands that there are more important things to do, and it's not time to eat and sleep.

Mei Hong waits for Xiao Man to get dressed and is about to go out to fetch food.At present, Xiaoman has not yet been granted the title, a woman who is not considered an emperor in name, and there is only one person with red eyebrows serving her.

Speaking of which, there are not one or two maids in the palace who are favored but not granted.When many concubines conceived, in order for the emperor to stay overnight in their palace, it was normal for them to arrange a few beautiful court ladies to serve them closely.

A few court ladies were lucky enough to be granted titles, officially became the emperor's women, and became masters since then, but most of them just passed away and were slept by the emperor in vain, with no name or distinction.These women are the most pathetic. Although they are still ordinary maids, they can no longer go out of the palace and return home because of being favored. They can only die in the palace.What's worse is that some favored maids are disliked by their masters and are directly abandoned.This palace will always be dominated by the strong.

Xiaoman is just taking the first step now, she can't relax here, she still needs an official status.

Xiao Man said: "Don't be in a hurry to eat, let's go to greet Empress Li first, and we'll talk when we come back." Meihong thought for a while, "Yes, master. However, the emperor ordered you to sleep for a while before leaving, and Empress Li is I haven't woken up yet, so it doesn't matter if I go to the party to say hello."

From last night to this morning, this is the first time Mei Hong has spoken so much.

Master, Xiaoman knew that the master with red eyebrows could only be Concubine Li, and her family was still in the hands of the Chen family.

Xiao Man didn't know what Mei Hong was thinking, but she knew that Mei Hong was a smart person and would not do her any harm before she gave birth to Concubine Li.Before Li Fei got a child, before she found a more suitable birth tool, she was still useful.Concubine Li will make things difficult for her, but she will not destroy her.

"Your Majesty hasn't gotten up yet, we have to go and wait first, to thank you for your gift. Let's go." Xiao Man stepped out of the side hall first.

In late autumn, the weather is already a bit cooler in the morning and evening.Especially after a night of dew, the slate floor is damp and overcast.
