Red makeup against the world

Chapter 118 Recalling the Innocence of Autumn

"The other is Biyun who is in charge of the warehouse of Chunling Palace. A few days ago, she broke a gold silk eight-treasure enamel bottle. Shi Jieyu was furious and beat her twenty sticks, but she couldn't hold on. I went." Zi Mo paused for a moment, and then said: "I heard that Shi Jieyu was very regretful, and ordered a proper burial, and rewarded her family with 300 taels of silver."

After Liu Zhaoyuan listened quietly, a mocking smile appeared on her lips: "She has always been so impeccable in her work."

When it came to the important point, even if it was just the two of them, Zi Mo lowered his voice and said, "I managed to visit Biyun early this morning."

"What did she say?"

"I promised Biyun to help her brother get out of citizenship. She just said that last autumn, a few bottles of raw taro powder were missing in the storeroom, and then the lady fell ill. The matter was urgent, and Zi Mo made a good idea. Please forgive me, madam."

Liu Zhaoyuan said lightly: "It's okay, you can arrange some small things. Raw taro flour? Such a delicate idea."

"That willow-yellow woven satin woven silk dress, presumably because Shi Jieyu soaked raw taro powder, the young lady became very itchy soon after wearing it. The medicine for itching skin is also harmful to the fetus." Zi Zi Mo said softly.

"Yeah, I was so stupid at that time, I didn't realize that I had a baby in my womb." Liu Zhaoyuan sighed quietly.

At that time, Liu Suying was unknown in the palace for several years.When she was still in the palace, she was named Jieyu because of her father's official position.Later, once she was favored by the emperor, she was granted the title of Zhaoyuan by the Jin Dynasty, and she lived in the main seat of Yijing Palace.Being flattered by everyone, she was in the limelight for a while, and she also became a little smug, forgetting what her father said.

Shi Xinmei's father was not of high rank, but she was born beautiful and charming, with a pair of red phoenix eyes that captivate the soul, so she was named a beauty after entering the palace.Because both of them are from Suzhou, and Shi Xinmei intends to make friends with her, they have a very good relationship.

Some people also said that she had a charming appearance, but under Shi Xinmei's frankness on purpose, Liu Suying only felt that those people were gossiping and jealous.After gaining the emperor's favor, Shi Xinmei also showed her face in front of the emperor a few times and served him in bed a few times.

Thinking of this, Liu Zhaoyuan sneered twice and said, "It's only my fault for being too naive." I thought she would be grateful and help her to become a favorite, but she didn't expect that she would repay her kindness and step on her position.

She remembers July 22 last year quite clearly. It was just the beginning of autumn and the weather was still hot.

The emperor had dinner at Yijing Palace, and the heat gradually subsided, so he accompanied the emperor for a walk in the imperial garden.As soon as he walked to the lotus pond, he found Shi Meiren resting in the gazebo in front of him.

Liu Zhaoyuan was quite happy to meet a good sister.Shi Meiren was also very measured, taking half a step back and following behind the two without saying much.Seeing the cool water in the lotus pond, the emperor wanted to swim in the lake, so the three of them boarded the boat together with the maids and eunuchs serving them.

For some reason that day, the emperor was in a very good mood. When he saw the lotus in full bloom, he said with great interest: "Don't look at the beauty of this flower, but the whole body is a treasure."

Liu Zhaoyuan said with a slight smile: "The concubine only knows the beautiful scenery of 'the lotus leaves are boundless in the sky, and the lotus flowers are red in the sun', but they don't know that this is a treasure?"

Emperor Qinglong laughed loudly and said: "You grew up in the boudoir, you only know how to appreciate the beautiful scenery. When I was fighting with the late emperor, I was in the south of the Yangtze River for one year, and I ate countless lotus root festivals."

Liu Zhaoyuan is a golden boudoir of jade quality, and she has been cultivated and grown according to the requirements of the concubine. She is not good at cooking celebrities who usually need to focus on practicing in the daughter's family.Ten slender fingers, have you ever touched Yangchun water?Keep a delicate temperament all over the body.

And Shi Meiren's family background is ordinary, so she naturally knows that the lotus flower will bear lotus seeds, and when the flowers and leaves are wiped out in late autumn, she can dig out the lotus root from the mud.Seeing that Liu Zhaoyuan didn't even understand such common sense, she felt contemptuous in her heart, but at the same time envied Liu Zhaoyuan's pampering since she was a child.

But she knew that the emperor didn't value her very much, and this was not the time for her to interrupt.He stood silently by the side, admiring the beauty of the autumn evening.

However, Emperor Qinglong leaned out of the boat, picked a lotus pod with his own hands, and brought it to Liu Zhaoyuan. He said with a smile, "Peel it open and see, there are lotus seeds inside."

Seeing the emperor picking it for herself, a red cloud appeared on Liu Zhaoyuan's face, and she said shyly: "The emperor must cherish himself, how can he do it himself?"

"I fought south and north with the first emperor, so I can't be so delicate." Emperor Qinglong urged her to peel off the lotus pod.

At this time, the sunset glow in the sky is like fire, coating the whole painting boat with a warm and magnificent color.The breeze on the lotus pond is blowing, and the pink flowers and green leaves flutter with the wind.Liu Zhaoyuan's pink cheeks are beautiful, her bare hands are like snow, the lotus pods are fresh and emerald green, and the beauty of peeling lotus seeds with her slender hands makes Emperor Qinglong's heart flutter.

Peeling lotus seeds is not difficult, even if Liu Zhaoyuan has never done it at home, she will be able to do it after a while.Peeling off one, seeing the emperor looking at her emotionally, Liu Zhaoyuan didn't know where the courage came from, and directly fed the lotus seeds into Emperor Qinglong's mouth.Emperor Qinglong opened his mouth to eat the lotus seeds, then took her light white fingers in his mouth and sucked them lightly.

Although Liu Zhaoyuan had already attended bedtime, it was the first time that the emperor made such an intimate gesture towards her in broad daylight.Her pink cheeks were as red as if they were about to bleed, her eyes were like silk, and she said softly, "Your Majesty..."

Seeing that she was shy and cute, Emperor Qinglong laughed, then took her fingers with his hand, and jokingly said: "My concubine, all lotus flowers bear lotus seeds, how about you? When will you give me a fruit?"

Since she was favored, Liu Zhaoyuan has been serving the bed continuously for three or four months. Why doesn't she look forward to being able to conceive the descendants of the Tian family?He said in a low voice: "Your Majesty, my concubines are also looking forward to having a child."

Although she was ashamed and annoyed, her tone was sincere.Unlike the other concubines, they obviously longed for it in their hearts, but when the emperor asked about it, they said that as long as they could serve the emperor, this life would be enough.

Emperor Qinglong liked her very much. He hugged her and said, "My dear concubine, if you can give birth to a child for me, you will be meritorious. No matter male or female, you will be promoted to the first rank, and you will be given the title of 'Lotus'. it is good?"

Liu Zhaoyuan couldn't help being ashamed in the emperor's arms, she nodded slightly, and said, "My concubine thanked the emperor."

Zhaoyuan is already one of the nine concubines, and if she is promoted to another level, she will be one of the four concubines.Not all concubines have titles, only concubines who are favored by the emperor will be specially rewarded with titles.All of this made Shi Meiren see it in her eyes and feel jealous in her heart.

But when she changed her mind, if she didn't grasp the great opportunity in front of her, it would be gone in a flash.Immediately he calmed down, made an expression of happiness beyond words, and said happily: "The emperor cares about my sister, my sister is really happy. My sister is here, congratulations to my sister first, and wish my sister an early birth."

Who doesn't like to hear nice words?What she said was so pleasing, it only made the two of them feel happy.

But then, the conversation changed, and she said softly: "Your Majesty, you only remember Sister Liu and your concubines." After saying that, she stomped her feet unyieldingly, her charming eyes spread, and her cheeks were slightly sideways, revealing a soft and fair part The neck of the neck is full of styles.
