The Legend of the Loved One

Chapter 84

On the second day after Song Chen visited Lingyue Palace, Chu Xue took Le'er to greet the Queen Mother, and soon after returning to her palace, she ordered Yanling, "Take the princess to greet the emperor later. At this time, the emperor Shouldn't be too busy."

Usually Chu Xue would not disturb Song Chen easily, although Yan Ling was slightly puzzled, she didn't ask any further questions and just nodded in response.

Chu Xue thought for a while, then ordered someone to bring out a food box, and said: "This is a snack specially made by the palace for the emperor, take it with you."

She knew that he must miss the two of them, but at the moment of the big plan, she couldn't go there, so she could only let Le'er go to greet him every day for the time being. In the eyes of outsiders, she was using her child to please him, but in her heart Li also hopes to alleviate the father and daughter's miss for each other.

When the child is still young and needs his father's pain the most, although he can't come over, he can let the father and daughter see each other from time to time, and finally comfort the lovesickness.

After the wet nurse pretended to be better for Xiao Le'er, Yan Ling went to the Hall of Qinzheng according to the master's instructions.

Le'er is almost one and a half years old now, and it's already clear to others. When the big team surrounded her and sent her to the Palace of Qinzheng, when she saw Song Chen, the little man immediately rushed towards her father.

The little girl's voice was sweet and tender, Song Chen bent down to pick up the little girl, and the dull annoyance of the government affairs just now disappeared immediately.

"Father..." Le'er called again sweetly, and took the initiative to kiss Father on the face.

Compared with Ning Ning, Le Er is indeed more lively. Ning Ning is cute and pleasant, while Le Er is a bit savage, but in the eyes of the father, these are the things that hurt him the most.Song Chen also quickly returned a kiss to his daughter, and the little man happily hugged his father's neck tightly.

The little man leaned in, with the fragrance of milk and another kind of fragrance on his body. Song Chen knew that it was the smell of Chu Xue, the smell he was obsessed with.

He took the opportunity to take a few deep breaths, letting the reassuring fragrance go deep into his heart, enough to comfort his lovesickness for many days, and he was a little satisfied.

"Does Le'er miss Father?" Song Chen asked the daughter in his arms with a smile.

"Think." The little man's big eyes sparkled, very much like her mother's.

Song Chen was fascinated, as if asking Le'er how her mother was. He hadn't seen her for a long time, and he missed her very much.

But he still held back.

Because the father has government affairs, Le'er should go back when there are ministers outside the palace asking for an audience. Song Chen reluctantly put the little man down on the ground. Enough with the royal family, I will curl my lips immediately.

Seeing this, Yan Ling hurriedly stepped forward and coaxed: "Princess, we have been out for a while, your mother and concubine are still waiting for you in the palace, can this servant accompany you back?"

Hearing that the concubine was waiting for her, Le'er finally remembered. Even though her mouth was curled up, she still nodded and opened her hands for the wet nurse to hug her, ready to go back to the palace.

Everyone saluted and was about to leave, but the majestic king asked, "How is Concubine Yi?"

Yan Ling paused, then bent down and replied, "Your Majesty, your majesty is fine, but she has been a little tired recently. The imperial doctor said that it's probably because your majesty is too worried and sad."

Although Chu Xue looks sad on the surface recently, everyone around her knows that she is not really worried. Of course, Yan Ling's words are exaggerated, but as a loyal servant, she can't spread Song Chen's words to the outside world. After ignoring Chu Xue, she truthfully replied that the masters are living as before. Since the masters are acting, of course she has to cooperate.

Just when everyone was guessing whether the king would soften his heart when he heard the disappointment of his favorite concubine, Song Chen said lightly: "Got it, tell her to rest well, she is Le'er's biological mother, even if she doesn't care about herself, she still has to take care of Le'er." !"

Hearing this, everyone paused in their hearts. The emperor seemed to be still angry at what he meant. Hearing this tone, it seemed that he was going to really snub Concubine Yi.

Could it be that the myth of exclusive pets, which is once in a century in the palace, is coming to an end?

Yanling's expression was gloomy, she bowed her head and said yes, then she heard Song Chen say again: "From now on, I will bring the princess to meet me every day."

"Yes."

Seeing that Song Chen had no more orders, Yan Ling finally bowed and retreated.

Within half a day, the scene of the King of Qinzheng Hall's interrogation spread throughout the palace.

Some people lamented and some secretly rejoiced, but naturally Fengyi and Lingyue were the happiest.Empress Xu summoned Concubine Li, who was recently subdued and available, and said: "Concubine Yi has fallen out of favor, and now is your best time. I heard that the emperor was in Lingyue Palace that day, not only praised your singing and dancing, but also praised you. Your court lady who cooks the meals shows that the emperor really has you in his heart, and at this time, striking while the iron is hot is the best way to capture the Sacred Heart!"

Concubine Li thought it made sense, she was about to nod her head, but she frowned after thinking about it: "But, the day before yesterday, the emperor still refused to spend the night in the concubine's palace..."

Xu Jinhe also had doubts about this matter, it is said that the emperor is in his prime, and he does not go to Concubine Yi's place for more than ten days, and refuses to spend the night with Concubine Li, how can he bear it?

While they were wondering, they suddenly saw Qiugui coming from outside.Qiu Gui saluted properly, then leaned into Xu Jinhe's ear and whispered a few words.Concubine Li watched silently, although her face was patient, she was very curious about what the master and servant were talking about.

After a while, Xu Jinhe frowned and asked after listening to Qiugui's words: "Is the news reliable?"

Qiugui nodded, with a serious face: "This is the rumor from the imperial hospital, there should be no fakes."

Xu Jinhe thought for a while, and then suddenly said: "So that's how it is."

When she regained her senses, she saw the curious eyes of Concubine Li beside her, Xu Jinhe smiled slightly, and explained: "The emperor has been busy with government affairs recently, so his body is a little tired, so he didn't spend the night with you..." Turning her eyes, she thought for a while He said again: "This is your opportunity! Later, I will find a prescription for you, and you will cook some tonic soup and send it to the emperor. I think the emperor will appreciate your thoughtfulness!"

Hearing about Song Chen's physical weakness, Concubine Li suddenly realized, she just said, in front of such a charming woman like her, how can any man not be tempted?It seems that this Great Qi emperor is quite restrained, in fact, this is not bad, it is better than her father who indulges in sensuality and neglects political affairs all day long. I, a concubine princess, would not be sent so far away to be married.

Thinking that when Song Chen recovers, he will be favored, and maybe he will give birth to several princes and get a noble concubine. In this way, it is not bad to stay in this foreign country!
After thinking about this, Concubine Li immediately nodded to Xu Jinhe.

Sure enough, not long after she returned to Lingyue Palace, she received a prescription and various medicinal materials sent by Fengyi Palace, fearing that she would not be able to make it, and a paper with instructions on how to cook the medicine. With the help of the maids, Concubine Li On the second day, a cup of good tonic soup was boiled out, and when it was almost time, she personally sent it to Qinzheng Hall.

In fact, the lack of body is just an excuse Song Chen made for not to spend the night at Concubine Li's place.At some point, he has been unable to spend the night with women other than Xueer, and in order to make the plan go smoothly, he can only resort to this trick.

But this trick just found a reason for him to reward Concubine Li as he wished.

Ever since the news of the emperor's physical weakness came out, the soup from Lingyue Palace arrived on time every day, and naturally the exotic beauty Concubine Li arrived with the soup.Every time the King sees the considerate Concubine Li, he will praise him kindly, and he will go to Lingyue Palace to taste exotic delicacies from time to time. The cook in Lingyue Palace came all the way from Jinli with Concubine Li, and the craftsmanship is natural pure good.

So, naturally, Lingyue Palace received more and more rewards.

First, he gave various tributes to Concubine Li herself, and then, Song Chen even ordered people to send the rare and rare treasures found in Daqi to Jin Liguo, Concubine Li's mother's home, without hesitation. It also demonstrates the friendship with neighboring Jinli.

However, things don't seem to be that simple. Just when it was rumored that Emperor Song Chen of Great Qi loved Princess Jin Li more and more, a large army quietly rushed to the border of Qi, Jin, Dongfu and the Three Kingdoms to station.Of course, since it was acting quietly, the two neighboring countries naturally did not notice it, and even many of Daqi's own officials did not notice it.

The harem is actually a vanity fair, where the king's eyes fall, the eyes of everyone in this event will naturally fall there.

For nearly two months, although Le'er still went to Qinzheng Hall to pay respects to her father every day, Song Chen had never been to Yufu Palace. This sharp change from before told everyone a firm fact that Concubine Yigui , fell out of favor.

At least, it seems so on the surface, and most people believe it.

Of course, it also includes Qiu Yan, the deputy director of the Ritual Supervisor who doesn't know the truth, or Yue Cheng, Yue Wen's only few old friends in this world.

Rumors in the palace about Chu Xue falling out of favor are getting stronger day by day, and Chu Xue herself no longer even leaves the palace easily. Suddenly, the once prosperous Yufu Palace seems to have really become a cold palace. Finally couldn't sit still.

He used to think that the time to recognize Wenwen had never come. Under the current situation, Qiu Yan felt that he could no longer hide it, and he must help Wenwen.He has stayed in the palace for so long, and he knows too well what will happen to the woman who is neglected by the king. Wenwen, the only blood left by the general and his wife, can't live that kind of life no matter what!

After much deliberation, he decided to help Wenwen regain favor.

But for a woman to win the favor of the emperor, in addition to the emperor's own affection, the woman must be willing. Therefore, the key to wanting Wenwen to regain favor lies in herself. Qiu Yan felt that Wenwen must be beaten. Lift up your spirits and regain your confidence.

And the most effective way is to give her a stimulus.

On this day, Qiu Yan took the opportunity of running an errand and took the initiative to come to Yufu Palace.

Chu Xue didn't really fall out of favor. Every once in a while, the letter written by Song Chen himself would be delivered to her quietly. Seeing the man's full love between the lines, even if she was a little lonely, it was all dispelled.

At this time, she would feel more at ease. He was her tree, and she was always allowed to cling to him. He was also her rock, and he never shifted.

In order to avoid suspicion, Chu Xuecai has been hiding in the palace to keep quiet. At this time, when she heard someone visiting, even Qiu Yan, who had saved her, she still had to cover up with a frustrated and miserable look. , so when the two met each other, Chu Xue still looked sad.

Seeing Chu Xue like this, Qiu Yan felt even more pain in his heart, and became more determined about what he was going to do on this trip.

Seeing that he had saluted Chu Xue and reported his serious errands, but still had no intention of resigning, Chu Xue was a little puzzled.She used to think that although Qiu Yan was credible and useful, he always avoided her and would usually leave politely after finishing his errands, but today he hesitated to speak, as if he had something to say...

The idlers in the hall were cleared away by her, near noon, Ruyue was preparing lunch for her, so only Yan Ling, who was close to her, was left in the hall.

Seeing that Nan Feng was left behind, Qiu Yan no longer worried, escaped from his bosom with a delicate lacquered wooden box, put it on the table in front of Chu Xue, and said: "When I was outside the palace a few years ago, my servant once Fortunately, I got a treasure, and I have been carrying it with me for so many years, until I saw the empress, the slave felt that this treasure finally has an owner, so I specially presented it to the empress today, please be sure to accept it."

When he spoke, he was different from the usual restraint, and Chu Xue couldn't help becoming vigilant, and when Yan Ling opened the lacquered wooden box and presented it in front of her, she finally turned pale with shock.

Lying upright in the box at the other end is a cloud-white leaf-shaped chalcedony pendant.

This pendant will never be owned by another person in the world. Its owner is her dead mother!
Although it has been many years, she still remembers how her mother looked when she wore this pendant.This piece of chalcedony was found by my father from the frontier, and it was regarded as a rare treasure because of its translucent color. After my father brought it back and asked a craftsman to carve it, it was given to my mother and has been worn by my mother all the time.

But how could he have the person in front of him?How could he have a bitch?

Chu Xue stared at him fixedly, her eyes were full of bewilderment, and she was unable to speak for a long time.

And Yan Ling recognized the jade pendant almost at the same time as Chu Xue, so she was naturally shocked, but after she realized it, Chu Xue spoke first.

Yan Ling frowned, her sharp voice was full of vigilance, and she asked, "Where did Director Qiu get such a treasure?"
