The Legend of the Loved One

Chapter 76

The King stayed alone in the Palace of Qinzheng all night, his mind full of the usual image of Chu Xuewen snuggling in his arms softly, after tossing and turning unbearably all night, he finally managed to survive until dawn.However, at night on the second day, there were still two new concubines waiting for him, so he first chose the Qutai Palace where Concubine Wan Zhao Jing was located, just like the night before, and after a few words of condolences, he went back to the palace by himself. Government Palace.

Concubine Wan, who was full of excitement, was dumbfounded. She wanted to take advantage of the opportunity of meeting Song Chen for the first time to perform well, but the king didn't give her this opportunity, and she turned around and left before she could say a few words.Although she is not as good as Concubine Yi, she is still a beauty after all. Could it be that her graceful virgin body is so unattractive?
After the king left, Concubine Wan was alone in the empty bedroom, stomping her feet angrily for a long while.

On the third night, Song Chen came to Lanlin Palace.

Concubine Ning, who was putting on her makeup again after bathing, was extremely nervous. She had never been alone with a foreign man, and she didn't know how to dress up to please a man, but the maids and nuns sent by the Queen Mother to her palace understood. Under their urging and guidance, she waited at the gate of the palace like this.

"The Emperor is here!"

With a loud communication, Gu Pinxi's heart beat extremely violently.That strange man is coming, how to address him, how to salute him, no matter in her natal family or in the palace, she has been taught repeatedly, but the girl is docile and timid by nature, so she is inevitably nervous at this time.There was no time for her to think too much, the king in brocade robe had already stepped into the palace.

"My concubine, see you, I have met the emperor." Gu Pinqian saluted tremblingly, perhaps because she was overthinking, to put it simply, after practicing countless times in her mind, she finally made a mistake.

Song Chen looked down at the girl who was saluting him, and frowned.

"Get up." There was no emotion in his tone, but it made the girl even more frightened.

She was so scared that even the hem of her skirt was trembling slightly. Seeing this, the nurse who was waiting at the side hurried forward to help her, Song Chen was even more puzzled, did he look fierce?How could this girl be so afraid?
When the girl stood up, Song Chen saw her clearly, and his eyebrows frowned even tighter.With this appearance and this stature, why does he look like he is only twelve or three years old, it seems that he is not as tall as Song Chi.

"How old are you?" He asked in a low voice.

He suddenly opened his mouth to ask such a question, which made the girl even more uneasy. Gu Pinqian whispered tremblingly: "Return to the emperor, my concubine, my concubine's birthday is the sixteenth year of Mid-Autumn Festival."

sixteen?Why does it look so small?

When he first heard that the mother had chosen a girl from the younger generation of her maternal ancestral family for her, he was a little surprised, but thinking that the mother only wanted to keep someone from her natal family in the palace, Song Chen didn't say anything. .Coupled with seeing the girl's immature appearance with his own eyes at this time, and the panic when he saw himself, he simply didn't want to stay for a moment, still only casually said a word of concern, and hurriedly turned back to the Qinzheng Hall.

Watching the king's leaving figure, the maids and nurses in the first hall couldn't help sighing, but the protagonist, Gu Pinxi, quietly breathed a sigh of relief.

In the morning of the next day, the queen mother learned about the scene of Lanlin Palace last night, compared to the sighing nuns next to Mrs. Gu Pin, the queen mother was very indifferent.

The female officer Ning Yuan asked her puzzledly, but saw the queen mother said unhurriedly: "Concubine Ning looks small, the emperor's reaction is also reasonable, but as long as she is in the palace, is there any chance? Concubine Ning is a beauty Embryo, after a few years of growth, it will definitely amaze the palace, and taking advantage of these few years, there is nothing wrong with learning some ways of life in the palace."

Ning Yuan was relieved, it turned out that the queen mother had a long-term idea.Isn’t it true that Concubine Ning is the youngest in the palace now, and the emperor is not keen on drafting, and I don’t think there will be any in the future. After a few years, Concubine Ning will grow up, and she will be the youngest in the palace My master, all men like young ones, such as Concubine Yi now, and after a few years, only Concubine Ning is the best age, and with the support of the Empress Dowager, she must have a bright future!
Fengyi Palace.

After finding a leisurely morning, Empress Xu Jinhe specially summoned Concubine Wan Zhao Jing to talk.After exchanging a few pleasantries, Xu Jinhe got straight to the point and asked about the scene when the king visited Qutai Palace that night.

She flipped through the emperor's daily life note of the inner court supervisor, and found that Song Chen only went to the new couple's place to check, but did not stay overnight, which made Xu Jinhe very puzzled.

Concubine Li Yushang Princess is a beauty with alien blood. Song Chen is not favored, maybe it is not good, Concubine Ning is petite, and she is born with a baby face. Song Chen can understand if she doesn't like it, but Wan Wan in front of her The concubine is sixteen or seventeen years old, the best age for a girl. She is tall and tall with bright eyes and white teeth.

But seeing Zhao Jing drooping her eyes and biting her lips, she said with difficulty: "Empress Bing, maybe the concubine's appearance is mediocre, so it's hard to get into the eyes of the emperor."

Hearing such a statement, Xu Jinhe secretly laughed.Zhao Jing is an outstanding figure among the aristocratic ladies in the capital, otherwise I would not have chosen her. It would be a big joke to say that she is mediocre in appearance!

The person in front of him wanted to do things for him, Xu Jinhe didn't intend to hide his emotions, and sighed: "The emperor is like this, probably because of his relationship with Concubine Yi."

Zhao Jing suddenly came over.

She didn't believe that the emperor would look down on her appearance, but now that the empress mentioned it, she finally figured out that the strangeness was caused by Concubine Yi.This imperial concubine, who had always been favored by the emperor, must have been jealous of her youth, and secretly threatened the emperor with her past affection.

"But, what should the concubine do?" Zhao Jing looked expectantly at Queen Xu, eager to ask for help.

Empress Xu thought for a long time, then sighed, "I will also think of some solutions for you. The Sacred Heart is unpredictable, so don't rush it."

Zhao Jing nodded silently.

But even though Xu Jinhe comforted her in this way, she also understood that Song Chen's temperament was unambiguous, and she couldn't interfere openly, so she could only think of a way in secret.

As for women, each has its own advantages, but if he refuses to taste it, how can he experience it?
In any case, let Zhao Jing overcome the first level with Song Chen as soon as possible.

After four full days of separation, this evening, Song Chen finally didn't have to go anywhere else, and came to Yufu Palace early after finishing the work at hand.

Xiao Le'er may not have seen her father for a long time, but when she suddenly saw her father stepping in, she immediately danced excitedly and called "ah, ah" to him.

Song Chen finally saw the little person he missed, and hurriedly lifted Leer, who was standing on the wooden railing bed, into his arms.

A few days ago, Le'er had developed a new skill and was eager to show off, taking advantage of being picked up, she smacked her father's face.

The emperor was delighted, and immediately returned her a sweet kiss.

Seeing the interaction between the father and daughter, Chu Xue smiled and saluted, just as the dinner was on the table, the family of three sat down to eat together.

Le'er can now eat some soft food. Ruyue made fish porridge for her. Chu Xue hugged her and fed her spoonful by spoonful.When Song Chen didn't come over a few days ago, only the mother and daughter had dinner, and Chu Xue always took care of her daughter with her own hands.

As if returning home after a long journey, looking at the warm mother and daughter, Song Chen finally calmed down, and his mood immediately improved a lot.

After eating and playing for a while, Le'er yawned, and the nurses stepped forward to take the princess to bed, and there were only the two of them left in the palace.

Song Chen pretended to be angry, pulled her towards her and said, "I haven't come for three days, and you didn't ask me once I entered the door. Where did I go? How are you doing?"

How could Chu Xue not know that even if she didn't leave the palace by herself, the well-informed Yanling around her would have come to report to her long ago, and she knew that he didn't spend the night with any newcomers.

While she was relieved, she also secretly admired him, and she really did what she said.

She said with a smile: "If the emperor doesn't come here, he must be busy with something important. Although my concubine and Le'er miss you very much, but there are palace servants around you, my concubine dare not disturb you, let alone..."

Her voice stopped, and she closed the door.

He asked, "What's more?"

She smiled gently, and said coquettishly: "The emperor wants the concubine to believe in you, and the concubine will definitely believe it. In this way, as long as you serve the emperor well, why do you need to ask?"

She was clever and cunning, and her sweet smile made his mind flutter. He had been sleeping alone for three days, so he would not let go of this opportunity tonight, and without any explanation, he carried the beauty into the tent.

After a night of ups and downs, Chu Xue sincerely felt that he was really suffocated.

Just when Yufu Palace was in good health, a man came out of Fengyi Palace and sneaked into the storehouse of the Inner Prison under the cover of night.

One night not long after, the imperial study room of Qinzheng Palace was still brightly lit late at night.

Today's government affairs are particularly busy, Song Chen has been busy all day from morning to night, and it is already the time of Haishi, but he still can't get up from the desk.

In front of the luxurious desk, the center of the royal study room was covered with thick silk carpets on the smooth floor, and a bronze incense burner stood on top of it. With the slowly burning incense pills, the scent of styrax that he used to use faintly diffused in the room.

Gradually, he felt a little hot and dry. It's only late spring now, why is the weather so stuffy?
He was a little tired, put down his pen, and gently rubbed his forehead.

Seeing this, Liangxi, the personal eunuch, stepped forward to persuade: "Your Majesty, it's getting late. You've worked hard all day, and it's time to rest. Although the state affairs are heavy, you have to pay attention to the body of the dragon."

Song Chen also felt that he couldn't calm down suddenly for some reason, so he simply got up, went to the couch beside him, and leaned down to rest for a while.

Just after taking a rest, he heard a woman's voice outside the hall, and he asked, "Who is outside?"

Liangxi hurriedly bowed out to check, and came back after a while to reply, "Report to Your Majesty, Concubine Wan asked to see you outside the hall, and said she made sweet soup for you."

"Concubine Wan is..."

Song Chen frowned and asked.

Liangxi was speechless, this emperor is so good, there are only a few concubines in the harem, he can't even remember who is who...

But slander is slander, Liangxi bowed and said with a smile: "Your Majesty, it's that empress from Qutai Palace."

Song Chen finally remembered.

Seeing that the king finally remembered, Liangxi, as a personal eunuch, couldn't help guessing about Fan Sheng's intentions. He asked: "The concubine Wan said that she made you a lily lotus seed soup, would your majesty want to try it?"

For some reason, Song Chen's thoughts were wandering and his mouth was dry. Hearing Liangxi's words, he also became interested in the sweet soup brought by the visitor, so he nodded and said, "Call her in."

Liangxi bent down, and went to the door to fetch people.

After a while, I saw a graceful woman stepping into the hall gracefully. "My concubine pays respects to the emperor." Zhao Jing saluted gently.

"Let's get back on your feet." Song Chen said in a calm voice. He wanted to ask her what kind of sweet soup he gave, but when he looked over, he met the woman's eyes. The woman's beautiful eyes shone with a shy smile, and he was suddenly a little dazed.

His mind seemed to be getting confused, he felt that he was in Yufu Palace at the moment, and the beauty in front of him was his Xue'er, he couldn't help being moved suddenly, and wanted to stretch out his hand to pull her into his arms to cherish her, but he hadn't waited for any action yet , but heard Liangxi's voice.

Liangxi tremblingly said: "Your Majesty, Yufu Palace has come to report that the little princess has a sudden high fever and is falling asleep."

"what?"

Hearing Xiao Le'er's name, Song Chen woke up for a moment, ignored the hopeful woman waiting for him, got up from the couch, and hurried to Yufu Palace.
