The Biography of Concubine Wen Xi in Qing Palace

Chapter 73
Yunshan forced a laugh, stepped forward to support the emperor and walked towards the side hall.

During the walk, she scratched the emperor's neck restlessly with both hands. Seeing that the emperor did not object, she boldly hooked the emperor's upper and lower jaw with her fingertips, making the emperor look at her, and pretending to be shy: "Your majesty, look at this slave girl!" Pretty?"

The emperor hiccupped again, his lips were tightly closed, he was about to blurt out the word 'beautiful', but suddenly felt his chest throbbing, he vomited, and turned sideways to spit out the filthy stuff out of his mouth.

Yunshan blushed with shame and anger, snorted and turned away, leaving the emperor alone in the courtyard of Chengqian Palace.

Most of the wine in his stomach was vomited out, and the emperor's mind became much clearer in an instant.

He stroked his forehead and shook it vigorously, then pushed open the carved wooden door of the West Side Hall with staggering steps.

There is not a single palace lantern in the main hall, only the sleeping hall glows with a dim warm yellow light. The hall was originally very quiet, but the heavy footsteps of the emperor at this moment seem incompatible with this quietness.

When I opened the curtain and entered, I saw that the window screen of the west side hall was replaced with bright paper, and a layer of sky water blue tulle window drawer was added on it.

'Ningxixiang' was burning in the Heming incense burner on the small table, exuding a sweet fragrance like honey, and the misty smoke seemed to linger in the air, the emperor moved closer, breathed in a shallow breath, After he calmed down, most of the alcohol dissipated.

I don't know where the wind blows, blowing the milk cake on the side desk and the bubbling hangover soup on the stove, the emperor's heart warmed with the warm hangover soup, and he couldn't help but look sideways at the couch Wannai lying down.

Wan Lai turned her back to the emperor, but although her eyes drooped slightly, her ears were extremely sensitive. She knew in her heart just now that the emperor opened the curtain and entered, but she just pretended to be sleepy and not flattering her.

She heard the sound of footsteps approaching her more and more, until the emperor's warm palm rested on her shoulder, she suddenly woke up and let out a cry of surprise.

The emperor did not let go, but said: "Wan'er, it's me."

Wan Yu looked at her intently, and blushed suddenly: "Your Majesty, the night outside is heavy with dew, you are not resting in Kunning Palace, why did you really come to this concubine?"

The emperor raised his hand and pointed drunkenly at the empty bowl of hangover soup on the table, and said: "If I go to the empress, how can I see Wan'er's delicate thoughts?"

The emperor moved closer to her, his lips were about to meet her vermilion lips, the hot air from his breath rose on Wanyu's fair face, Wanyu felt her heart beating fast and fast, and the atmosphere made her a little breathless.

She turned her face away slightly, and said in a low voice: "The concubine prepared it for herself, but the emperor secretly drank it, and the concubine refused to obey."

"Your words are not true." The emperor's subordinates forced Wan Yu to face her face, and said tenderly, "The stove for simmering soup is about to go out, how do I not know that you are waiting for me?"

Wannai looked at the steam rising from the blue and white lotus bowl with some shyness, it was as weak as mist and almost invisible.

The flickering and jumping of the stove flames was boring, but rather cool.

She came back to her senses and murmured in a very soft voice: "I didn't dare to look forward to anything."

Her words were sad, and the emperor asked eagerly, "Why is Wan'er so hurt?"

"The emperor is the king of the world, and he and the queen are husband and wife. The concubine is just one of the many concubines. Occasionally, he is overjoyed by the emperor's sympathy, but he is also afraid that this honor will be like a cloud of smoke. Yang went away. Today's New Year's Day, the emperor should stay at the queen's place. If he came to see the concubine, everyone in the harem would always complain. Although the concubine secretly wants to be accompanied by the emperor during the festive season, others Why not? The empress arranges the banquet properly, the concubine Hui dances, and Guo Luoluo often composes poems to add to the fun. Who doesn't do his best to look forward to the emperor's mercy? Wearing the body of a sin, he was favored by the emperor out of thin air, and he was terrified in his heart."

The emperor held Wanyan's hand, and the bright yellow court dress sleeves hung between their arms: "You just think that I am drunk today." The emperor said lightly, and then said: "If it is not the case, I will not ignore it. The Empress Dowager persuaded me to insist on coming to see you. In the new year, I only think of myself as a son of an ordinary rich and noble family, and I want to accompany my beloved woman with my own desires, and I don’t care about the etiquette and rules. "

The emperor's words are full of sincerity, and from his deep eyes, Wanna can't see a trace of evasion or deception.

But how real is such a deep affection?
He may have his own place in his heart, but at the banquet, when he looked at Concubine Hui with tender eyes, how could he know that there was no depth of affection?

He only bestowed Rongyue's personal sachet and the first title in the palace, how could he know if it was meaningful?

If he loves a woman himself, why not others?
It's just that women's admiration and men's love in this world are different.

A man can have three wives and four concubines, but a woman has to stick to one to the end, not to mention that the person in front of him is the ninety-five-year-old lord on the Dragon Throne, who is the most unyielding person in the world, how can she do it? Looking forward to the only true heart?

As the emperor said, I just think that he is drunk today.

How can drunken words be taken seriously.

She smiled and met the emperor's eyes: "The concubine hopes that the emperor's love for the concubine is a long-lasting love, not a momentary love when we first meet. In this deep palace, the emperor is the concubine. The only person who can be trusted and relied on, courtiers and concubines are not afraid of rumors, do not seek fame, do not seek glory, and only hope that the king will take care of you, so there is nothing to look forward to in this life."

"I know you have been wronged, and the current situation is like this. If I want to protect you, I can only make you suffer a little." The emperor caressed Wan Lai's cheek, and said in a deep voice: "I will give you both fame and glory." , you can rest assured."

Wanyu didn't answer any more, just quietly leaned on the emperor's chest, looking out of the window, she could only see Gao Tianhaoyue, as bright as a mirror, reflecting herself and the emperor as a couple, but at this moment she didn't know how she felt in her heart.

After that day, the emperor was admonished by the empress dowager, who even pointed out that he favored Wanyu too much, making the palace restless, so she forced the respect room to hang up Wanyu's green cardboard, and advised the emperor to soak in the rain and dew, especially with The queen and concubine Hui took care of her more.

Concubine Hui originally came from the Horqin Department with the Queen Mother, and now she is recommended by the Queen Mother, and she is constantly favored for a while. Everyone says that her New Year's family banquet dances the emperor's heart, but only she knows that these countless days and nights are spent in bed. , how bitter it is.

Although the emperor often flipped through her signboard, he just left her to guard the vacant room alone.

Every night, the emperor would always go out alone, with only Liang Jiugong following him, his whereabouts were extremely secretive and unpredictable.

Poor concubine Hui still foolishly sleeping on the dragon couch in the Qianqing Palace, thinking that the emperor had heavy state affairs in the previous dynasty, and it was late to correct the papers, so she slept in the main hall and did not want to wake her up.
