Traveling through the harem: the favorite concubine

Chapter 9

When the prince returned to the East Palace, it was noon, the sun was just right, and it shone warmly on his body, making him very comfortable in this slightly chilly season.

However, the prince's complexion didn't seem to be pretty. When he passed by the well-maintained imperial garden, the poetic beauty didn't stop him from walking.Far away, when he passed the peach blossom forest, he saw a bright yellow figure.

The prince stood on the spot, seemingly hesitating. After standing there for a while, he led someone closer to the peach grove, and then knelt down to salute the bright yellow figure.

When the emperor heard the sound of saluting, he turned sideways and saw the prince kneeling on the ground. He seemed a little surprised, and a smile appeared on his face after a while: "It's the prince! Get up!"

"Thank you, Father."

The prince stood up and saw a young woman in a gorgeous pink palace dress standing next to the emperor, and respectfully bowed to his son-in-law: "Ms. Jin."

With a charming smile on her face, Concubine Jin turned sideways and said with a smile, "Your Highness the Crown Prince is very polite!"

The prince's face remained unchanged, and he still stood respectfully after the salute.

The emperor glanced at his delicate new favorite, and then glanced at the few maids around him who were blushing against the backdrop of the peach forest petals, who were peeking at the prince.Then, complicated eyes fell on his son.

When the prince was young and strong, standing in front of him, he had a tall and straight figure, a handsome face, and bright eyes. What was even more rare was that he was prudent and gentle with others. He is proud that he has such an excellent heir.

He is getting old, his body is gradually becoming stooped and fat, his movements are slow, and his memory is gradually fading, but his son and his heir are getting better and better.

The emperor sighed in his heart, with a smile still on his face: "Where did the prince come from?"

"The queen mother left Erchen for lunch at noon and just came out."

The prince replied respectfully, Jin kept his duty as a courtier.

"Your mother is getting old and lonely." The emperor sighed, as if thinking of something, and then smiled, "The prince and princess should also work harder to make your mother happy as soon as possible. At this time, there is already Xiao Ba!"

As an emperor, having many sons is also a feat worth boasting about.

The prince's face did not change when he heard the words, but he still said respectfully: "My son and minister are not filial, which makes the emperor and mother worry!"

"Okay, I won't talk too much about you, if you have something to do, go back early!"

The emperor put one hand on Concubine Jin's waist, and lost interest in talking to the crown prince.

The prince didn't feel embarrassed, and once again saluted respectfully: "My son will leave."

Then, just slowly walked out of the peach forest.

Deng Xian, who was following behind the prince, took a peek at his master. For some reason, he felt the indifference on his master's body was getting worse.

After returning to the East Palace from the imperial garden, the prince walked into the inner study room, and no one was there to serve him. Deng Xian and the eunuchs and maids stood outside the study room for a long time, but no movement was heard inside. out, feeling more and more uneasy.

It was not until dinner time that the prince came out of the study, his face regained his usual gentleness, as if it was their illusion before.

The prince was still wearing the apricot-yellow court dress that he hadn't taken off in the morning, and he didn't seem to have any intention of being changed. Deng Xian followed the prince carefully and didn't dare to say anything. I was startled.He originally thought that the prince was going to the princess's palace for dinner, but who knew he actually went to Li Baolin's place.

Deng Xian was about to raise his voice to let Li Baolin come out to pick him up, but he saw the prince walking straight to the room on the west side.

This……

Deng Xian was terrified, even though he hadn't set foot here for half a month, he still remembered that this place seemed to be Mrs. Chen's residence.

When the crown prince walked to the door, no one came out to greet him. Deng Xian looked carefully at his Highness's face, and said, "Your Highness, my servant invites Mrs. Chen to come out."

"No need."

The prince stopped him, and stretched out his hand to open the door. Just as the door was opened, a strong smell of medicine came out from the room, and the prince couldn't help frowning.

Deng Xian was anxious and flustered, and he didn't expect that Mrs. Chen's illness was still not cured.How could the prince enter this room, he quickly tried to dissuade him in a low voice: "Your Highness, Mrs. Chen's illness seems to have not recovered yet."

Before he finished his words, he saw that the prince had stepped into the bedroom inside.

At this time, there are only Ruyi and Shaoyao in the dormitory, Qiangwei went to the dining room to get dinner for tonight and has not returned yet.

Ruyi was lying on the bed sickly, her mind a little drowsy. Although she was not asleep, she did not seem to be very energetic. It was not until Shao Yao, who was watching her by the bed, knelt down to salute, that she realized that there was an impossible person in the room. people.

She was shocked and got out of bed in a panic, kneeling down and saluting.

"Slaves are rude!"

Ruyi was in a panic, at this moment she was only wearing her pajamas, her hair was in a bun, no makeup on her face, and her complexion was a bit sallow.

The prince might as well enter the door and see Ruyi's appearance. He is indeed a little unhappy, but seeing Ruyi's expression is indeed not good, and he can't blame her.Thinking that he went too far that day, his heart softened a little, he stepped forward to help Ruyi and said in a warm voice: "You are not healthy, Gu will not care about these rules with you."

Although the prince said so, Ruyi did not dare to relax. She lowered her head obediently and raised her eyebrows. After thanking the prince for his kindness, she stood aside, but she hesitated in her heart. At this moment, she had to tidy up her appearance, but It's not easy to leave the crown prince aside and tidy up your appearance...

His already somewhat confused mind was in a mess, and he could only stand there stupidly.

Shao Yao poured the tea and handed it to her. She was also dazed, and subconsciously put it next to the prince. When she was about to stand back to her old position, she heard the prince say: "You are not healthy, don't stand there."

Ruyi raised her head to look at the prince with a bit of confusion, but Shaoyao who was standing on one side cleverly helped her to sit on the other side of the couch.

After being a court lady for so long, Ruyi felt that she had a very strong sense of slavery. For a long time, the master sat, she stood, and suddenly sat next to the prince. She felt that she was sitting half on the needle felt, but the prince ordered She didn't dare not sit down, so she could only carefully move half of her buttocks outside.

"What did the doctor say?"

The prince didn't drink tea either, he just looked at Ruyi and asked casually.

When the imperial physician came today, Ruyi was in a daze of fever, so I didn't know what the imperial physician said, so I could only look at Shaoyao.But how dare Shao Yao speak in front of her master, she just lowered her head and acted like she didn't see it.

Ruyi was helpless, and said in a low voice: "The slave girl is not healthy, the imperial doctor only said that the slave girl will take care of her."

Saying this is equivalent to not saying it, and Ruyi bit the bullet and pulled it out.Fortunately, the prince did not intend to ask further questions. After she finished speaking, the prince sat on the side and did not ask any more questions.

If she thought that the prince would not speak, she would not dare to speak, she lowered her head and stared at her fingers in a daze.

This is great, it's completely cold,

Although Shaoyao standing next to Ruyi lowered her head, she was in a hurry. She had never seen such a dull person like her master. This concubine, even a little maid like her, knew not to invite favor. Where did she come from? The opportunity to get the prince's attention.However, she didn't dare to remind her wife at this time, she could only pray in her heart that the prince would not despise Ruyi.

Feng Xian, who was standing outside the house, felt a little speechless listening to the movement inside.He could see the difference between the prince and Ruyi, but he really didn't have the prince who had the insight to find out what this Mrs. Chen was capable of seducing.Although he is no longer a man, he still feels that Mrs. Chen's temperament is really not pleasing to men.

I was even more worried that the prince would sit next to the bewildered Mrs. Chen, turn around and leave here, feeling even worse, and making life even more difficult for their servants.

The house was quiet, and the people inside had different thoughts.

I don't know how long it took, Qiangwei came back with food and medicine. She saw many people guarding outside the house, and when she was hesitating whether to enter the house, Feng Xian heard the movement inside the house and couldn't help wiping Breaking out in a cold sweat, he greeted Qiangwei outside the house.

Qiangwei was embarrassed and hesitated, she walked in with a basket, regardless of what she was carrying, she knelt down and kowtowed to pay her respects.

The prince glanced at Qiangwei who was kneeling underneath, and then at Ruyi who was obviously suffering but still tried to behave like a well-behaved man, but he stood up mercifully and said, "Take care of yourself! "

Then he planned to leave here.

Before Ruyi could react, she was pushed by Shaoyao beside her, and she knelt down reflexively to pay respects to the prince.

The crown prince walked out of Ruyi's house, did not go back to the study, and did not go to the crown prince's place, but was met by Li Baolin who happened to be walking outside the house...

Of course, at this moment, the three masters and servants of Ruyi don't know, and they can't control the whereabouts of the prince at this time.

All three of them broke out in a cold sweat from the prince's whim.Ruyi was startled and flustered in her heart, she was a little sober and conscious when the prince was still in the house, but she went clean all of a sudden, and only felt her mind became more dizzy.

Seeing this, Shaoyao and Qiangwei, who were still secretly angry at Ruyi in their hearts, no longer had the intention of being loyal servants to persuade them. She lay down on the bed.

In the final analysis, nothing can compare to getting your body back to health as soon as possible.
