The Life of the Concubine of the System

Chapter 42

Time flies, and the hot summer turns into autumn in a blink of an eye.

Autumn is crisp, breezy, and the blue sky is as pure as the most beautiful sapphire.

The imperial garden is a royal garden, which is exclusively for the harem masters and nobles to enjoy.Gardeners naturally have to maintain the ornamental value of the imperial garden at all times.As soon as autumn comes, the autumn chrysanthemums carefully cultivated by the gardeners officially live in the Royal Garden."Green Peony", the best product among chrysanthemums, has plump petals and is as bright as emeralds; Silky, with hanging hair and bowed head, demure and elegant, charming and affectionate... There are countless outstanding chrysanthemums.In autumn, autumn crabs are also in season when they are fat and plump.

Yin Ruxue likes to eat crabs very much. Based on her favor, autumn crabs are on the market, and the Ministry of Internal Affairs will definitely send autumn crabs to Zhaoyue Palace.But Emperor Yong Ye explicitly forbade her to eat more autumn crabs.

According to Emperor Yongye's original meaning, autumn crabs are originally cold food, and Yin Ruxue's body is weak and cold, so he shouldn't eat this kind of cold food.But how would Ruxue give up?She has a strong appetite and likes to eat crabs, especially the autumn crabs are now plump and plump. She will not give up if she can't eat them. Only by means of threats and other means can we obtain the right to eat a little bit, and there is really only a little bit.

When the small kitchen prepared the fat autumn crabs and presented them to Shan Zhuo, Yin Ruxue felt like her saliva was about to flow down.Emperor Yongye looked at her hopeless look, and gave her a warning glance.

Yin Ruxue just sat upright, waiting for the maid next to her to serve her meal.The action of the maid is pleasing to the eye. After carefully picking out the crab meat, dip it in delicious seasoning and put it into the bowl of the master in front of him.

The crab meat is delicious and delicate in the mouth, coupled with the mellow flavor of the seasoning sauce, Yin Ruxue is in a good mood.When I wanted to put my chopsticks on the crab meat, I found that all the crab meat in my bowl was caught by a horizontal chopstick.She was a little restless, and she was like a kitten whose hair was fried, waiting for Emperor Yongye who was eating crab meat.

"Crab meat is cold, it's better to eat less." Emperor Yongye ate it with peace of mind.

"But your majesty, didn't you say that you allowed me to eat it? Your majesty's words don't matter."

"Who said that I don't mean anything? Didn't you eat crab meat just now?"

"But I just took one bite, one bite." The angry voice emphasized "one bite".

"I told you that you can only eat a little, and I never broke my promise." Emperor Yong Ye tasted the crab meat.He doesn't really like eating crabs very much, but this time he feels that the crab meat in his mouth tastes very delicious.

Yin Ruxue was speechless and could not refute at all.I can only sit on the sidelines and eat the meal by myself.

There was a faint smile on Emperor Yong Ye's face.

Yin Ruxue has a strong temper, and she still hated Emperor Yongye's restricting her from eating crabs during the day until night.

"I'm sorry, Your Majesty, my concubine is not feeling well today. Your Majesty, I'd better find another beauty." Yin Ruxue lay on the bed, covering herself with the quilt in a low voice.

Emperor Yong Ye was not angry either, and coaxed in a good voice: "Hey, it's not that I really won't let you eat. When you recover, I will definitely let you eat enough."

Only then did Yin Ruxue get out of bed, revealing her small face, and said half-believingly: "Really? The emperor didn't lie to me?"

"Really, I have a golden word."

Only then did Yin Ruxue get out of the bed, shouting, "I'm smothered to death, I'm suffocated to death."

Emperor Yong Ye looked amused.

In fact, Yin Ruxue has always been careful to hold a certain degree. She acted like a baby and got angry at him within the scope allowed by Emperor Yong Ye, and everything had nothing to do with power and status.It's just that in her opinion, even in modern times, love and marriage need to be managed, and both parties have their own bottom line. Only when the bottom line is not touched, can the two parties better maintain their love and marriage relationship.What's more, this is in ancient times, and she needs to grasp it well.

There are so few entertainment activities in the palace, the women in the palace naturally have to find ways to pass the time, and the empress is no exception.

Autumn is in full swing, so the empress hosted a chrysanthemum banquet, inviting concubines in the harem to enjoy chrysanthemums and autumn crabs.In the harem, except for the empress dowager who has always lived in a simple way, almost all the concubines in the harem attended the Chrysanthemum Appreciation Banquet.More importantly, everyone has heard the news that the Emperor will also appear at the Chrysanthemum Appreciation Banquet.The concubines from all walks of life naturally spent a lot of effort to dress themselves up, trying to make the emperor take a look at them more.

Yin Ruxue did not follow the elegant route as usual this time, but put on heavy makeup.

In the morning, Cherry prepared a light blue embroidered skirt for her, and she was dressing up.He only glanced at the light blue skirt, then shook his head.

"Miss, isn't this embroidered skirt beautiful? You love blue the most."

Yin Ruxue did not refute, light blue is indeed her favorite, but it was once.

"Isn't there that purple palace dress? Find it out."

Cherry is a little hesitant. Is fuchsia too old-fashioned?
Crescent Moon pursed her lips and smiled, and said: "Your Majesty has fair skin, so you must look good in this purple-red color. Otherwise, Madam, this servant will make you a pony bun today."

Yin Ruxue nodded approvingly, Yueya was clever, seeing that she had chosen a different purple dress than usual, so she combed a charming and soft bun for herself.

Seeing Concubine Yuegui praising herself, Yueya was very happy, and the movements of combing her hair were even more flexible.

After Cherry found out the clothes, she also put on a pear makeup for her mother.

Yin Ruxue looked at herself in the mirror: her eyebrows were like distant mountain wear, her lips were like red dandelion, her almond eyes were as enchanting as mist, and she was full of affection. She smiled with satisfaction, and the room was full of brilliance.
Under the service of the court lady, he put on the purple palace attire, and after dressing up properly, he set off for the Chrysanthemum Appreciation Banquet.

At the Chrysanthemum Appreciation Banquet, there was a lot of laughter and beauties everywhere.

Compared with everyone else, Yin Ruxue is actually not that gorgeous, but it can't stand her good foundation, and her dress has always been elegant in the past.This Chrysanthemum Appreciation Banquet overturned everyone's impression.She also received a lot of obvious or not obvious jealous eyes.

Concubine Rong, who had been out of favor for a while, also attended the Chrysanthemum Appreciation Banquet this time, but her complexion was not very good, and her smile was a little forced.

Li Meiren and Concubine Rong have always been at odds with each other, seeing Concubine Rong's haggard look, it was naturally a good taunt.With Concubine Rong's usual temper, she had already fought back.But I didn't expect Concubine Rong to tolerate it with a good temper.This is slightly surprising.

And the concubine de concubine also sat on the side gently and talked to Princess Roujia under her knees, this concubine de concubine has become more concerned about princess Roujia since Princess Roujia came back from the empress's Fengzao Palace up.

Concubine Shu brought her younger sister, An Xiuyuan, who was pregnant and pregnant, to the chrysanthemum appreciation feast.Both of them looked rather cautious.

The atmosphere at the Chrysanthemum Appreciation Banquet was very harmonious for a while.

Speaking of this chrysanthemum appreciation banquet, Yin Ruxue was quite happy.No reason, it's just that she finally managed to eat delicious autumn crabs.

Not long after, the emperor and queen came together.

"As the saying goes, 'When the autumn wind blows, the crab's feet itch; when the chrysanthemum blooms, the crab comes. It’s better to be happy with everyone, so I just invited the sisters in the harem to do this elegant thing together, which is not romantic.” The empress first spoke to the concubines in the harem, and then turned her head to the side, smiling at the emperor next to her. Dignified: "It's rare for the emperor to have the time to enjoy the chrysanthemum with the harem sisters. The ministers and concubines are here first to respect."

The emperor took the glass of wine from the empress, and rarely showed a relaxed expression on his usually serious face.

The concubines below also had winks, seeing that the emperor and empress on the top had all drunk, and of course they all drank up the wine in their cups one after another.

Yin Ruxue was not good at drinking, after drinking, two blushes naturally appeared on both sides of her cheeks, reflecting today's makeup, she looked even more glamorous.

Emperor Yong Ye originally just glanced at the concubine sitting below him normally, but he didn't expect to see flushed cheeks and snowy eyebrows and eyes at a glance.I just felt amazed, and then when I watched her keep ordering the maids serving around me to pick crab meat, I was both funny and annoyed.

All the people attending the Chrysanthemum Appreciation Banquet were admiring the flowers, and the emperor was present, and the concubines tried their best to talk about interesting things and write some elegant poems, so as to win the attention of the emperor.

Unexpectedly, the emperor blinked and turned to Concubine Yuegui who was eating crabs all the time.Everyone looked over there calmly, but this person was still eating autumn crab unconsciously.The concubine who couldn't bear it said:

"Sister Yue, is this autumn crab really so delicious? Let my sister not even appreciate the blooming chrysanthemums."

Yin Ruxue had long felt that her body was hairy, and knew that many eyes were on her, but she didn't care.What's the matter with her eating her autumn crab?It's just that this time everyone called names, so she couldn't pretend not to hear.

Everyone saw Concubine Yuegui leisurely picked up a handkerchief to check her mouth, and then said calmly: "Concubine is greedy, I made all the ladies laugh."

A concubine murmured silently in her heart: "Is it really a good thing to focus on appetite? Why can't there be a trace of shame in the words of this Yuegui concubine, but a touch of pride?"

The chrysanthemum appreciation feast came to a successful conclusion, the only downside was that Concubine Yue Gui repeated her tricks and fainted again under everyone's noses, dragging the emperor down to Zhaoyue Palace.

Now, even the empress, who always showed her grace and magnanimity, rarely frowned in front of everyone.

But then a shocking news came out, causing another disturbance in the harem.

"The noble concubine of Zhaoyue Palace is pregnant."
