Abandoned Women: The First Secret Service Concubine

Chapter 255
Bai Mudan hurriedly avoided, stood up and stepped aside, bowed her head and said, "Your Highness, Your Highness's love, Mudan cannot bear. From now on, please keep your Highness away from Peony."

With a handsome figure, he hesitated to speak, which made Murong Lian understand immediately: "It's him, it's him who taught you a lesson just now?"

Did his father actually persecute Mudan?Recently, the emperor often asked the eunuch beside him to tell him, and secretly warned him not to be infatuated with women in brothels.Murong Lian originally thought that the emperor had taken a fancy to Mudan himself, so he taught him this.Who knows, isn't it?
He felt distressed for a moment, got up and walked over, and wanted to reach out to hug her again: "I'm sorry, I hurt you." The scene in front of him, he couldn't help but not misunderstand—it must be the father who taught Mudan just now, telling Mudan not to be wishful thinking, but His peony was so infatuated with him that he refused to accept it regardless of his life, so he was slapped by his father!

Therefore, she felt even more sympathetic: "Peony, your love for my Highness, my Highness will never let you down."

At first, Bai Mudan kept resisting: "Peony has not come out of the pavilion, please respect your Highness." However, being coaxed by Murong Lian's carelessness, she gradually laughed through tears, as if struggling, she snuggled into his arms reservedly.Hearing Murong Lian's sweet words incessantly, the corners of his mouth curled up.However, the sparkles in a pair of wonderful eyes flowed, and the smile was very intriguing.

After the emperor returned to the palace, although his face was still majestic, the corners of his lips were curved imperceptibly, and there was a brisk smile in his eyes.The eunuch next to him saw him, but he didn't know what was going on in his mind, he just smiled and said: "Your Majesty, that Miss Peony is really a rare beauty!"

The emperor glanced at him from the corner of his eye, but didn't speak.

This eunuch is an old man who has served the emperor for decades, and he has his own way of trying to figure out what his master wants, so he tentatively said: "Why don't we send someone to bring Miss Mudan into the palace to accompany her on the day when Miss Mudan comes out of the court?" emperor?"

The corner of the emperor's mouth was originally slightly curved, but it disappeared in an instant when he heard the words, and he glanced at the eunuch beside him with some cold eyes, which made the other party tremble in fear.

However, the eunuch was getting old after all, and he was quite good at trying to figure out what the emperor was thinking. He slapped his mouth and said: "The servant has grown old in the past few years, and his brain is also confused, and he can't speak clearly. The meaning of the servant, the emperor's lack of knowledge." A caring person who pinches his feet and beats his shoulders, how about asking Miss Peony to serve in the palace?"

As he spoke, he looked at the emperor's face.Seeing that the emperor's face did not change, he knew that he had touched the emperor's heart, and said with a smile: "The emperor refuses, is it because he is reluctant to part with the slave's craftsmanship? Oh, this is really an honor for the slave!"

In recent years, the emperor's health has not been as good as before. Whenever he sits for a long time, he feels pain around his shoulders, and he needs to squeeze and knead from time to time.Usually, it was the eunuch who was close to him who kneaded him.However, after all, she can't compare to a girl who is as delicate as a flower, isn't she?

"Besides, Miss Peony can sing and dance, she can even play the piano and chess. Isn't it a hundred times better for Miss Peony to accompany the emperor to entertain the emperor?" the eunuch said with a flattering smile.

The emperor was introduced to the boudoir by Bai Mudan and sat there for more than an hour.First, Bai Mudan begged for favor, but after she failed, she took the next best thing, singing and dancing for the emperor.Later, he moved out the piano, set up the chessboard, and tried his best to please the emperor.It seemed that she was deeply afraid that the emperor would not know that she admired him very much and wanted to be favored by him.

It has to be said that Bai Mudan's hard work actually scratched the emperor's itching spot, which really pleased the dragon's heart.Even, when he heard the personal eunuch's proposal, for a moment, the emperor wanted to accept it.However, the thought of accepting the white peony only flashed in the emperor's mind for a moment, and soon it fell into the river like a drop of water and disappeared.

"The prince is out of the palace?" The emperor's voice was a little gloomy.

As if he didn't expect the emperor's thoughts to turn so fast, the eunuch was stunned for a moment before he felt a chill down his back.He hesitated, wondering if he should tell the truth.

"Hmph!" Even if he didn't say it, how could the emperor not know?Bai Bai had a good looks, but he was easily seduced by a girl.

During dinner, the emperor ordered someone to bring the chilli sauce that Murong Xi'er had sent, and was about to taste a few mouthfuls, but suddenly found that there was not much left in the jar, so he couldn't help frowning.These days, the emperor loves the spicy and tangy taste. Every time he chews the chili sauce, he feels his blood is ignited, his whole body seems to be full of strength, and he looks much younger.

"Isn't this thing addictive?" As an emperor, extreme vigilance and vigilance are essential.The emperor gradually became inseparable from chili sauce for every meal. Looking at the bottom of the empty jar at this time, he couldn't help but think deeply.

The eunuch who was standing behind him said: "Probably not. The people who tasted every meal with the emperor didn't think it was wrong."

The emperor nodded, but remained silent.His own body, he knows best.It's not that he can't do without the chili sauce, but the chili sauce is really delicious, and he can't help but want to eat more.

What's more, the hot and spicy feeling brought by this thing made him feel young in a trance.The older a person is, the more afraid of powerlessness, and often want to find the feeling of youth.Chili sauce and white peony are all things that make the emperor relive his youth.

"Why should your majesty be worried? Not only is the emperor eating this chili sauce, but everyone who tastes it is also good, and His Royal Highness also likes it." After the sauce, do you eat an extra half bowl of rice for every meal? Look at how energetic you are!"

"Go and tell the princess, ask her to bring some more chili sauce tomorrow." After the emperor said, he put the matter aside.

Early the next morning, Murong Xi'er came to Xuanming Palace in light clothes.

"Greetings to Father." Murong Xi'er saluted, then came to the emperor with a smile, and said playfully: "Father, your chili sauce is really fast, A Yao gave me two jars, We each eat half of it, and I only ate half of it, so how come the father has already eaten it?"

The emperor pretended to be angry and said: "What? Do you still have a private collection? Be bold! Why don't you quickly present it to me?"

Murong Xi'er curled her lips, and only said: "Ah Yao said, eating too much of this food can easily get angry, Father, don't eat it so fast."

The emperor's eyes flickered, and then he stretched out his hand, pointed at her and scolded with a smile: "Come on, do you think I don't know your little thoughts? You deliberately used a small jar to pretend to be me. When I finish eating, you can leave the palace." Going to play?"

Murong Xi'er, whose mind was exposed, couldn't help but turn red, but stomped her feet: "Don't tell father, Xi'er is out of the palace!" Then, he twisted and ran away quickly.

The emperor shook his head, walked to the back of the case, and prepared to review the memorial.

At this moment, the eunuch's voice came from behind: "Speaking of which, I don't blame the princess for liking her so much. The Feng family has some skills."

The emperor turned his head, his eyes piercing like ice needles.

The eunuch looked down at the steps under his feet, and supported the emperor's arm with both hands, as if he didn't notice the gaze above his head, and said: "The Feng family is used to making some novelties, like the chili sauce that the emperor likes to eat recently, like The mother-daughter outfits worn by princesses and imperial concubines on the Osmanthus Festival."

Although the emperor didn't like Fengyao, he had to admit that Fengyao had some skills.However, he said in his mouth: "It's just a strange skill."

"This strange skill is also very useful sometimes." The eunuch said casually, "The coming of the Four Kingdoms next year is almost here, but the style of our clothes in the Dajing Dynasty has never convinced the Bai Kingdom. If Feng After some research and improvement, they might be convinced."

When the emperor heard the words, he stopped in his footsteps, and a thought flashed in his eyes.

Murong Xi'er's scheme succeeded, and after only a few days, he was able to leave the palace again, so he was naturally extremely happy.Unexpectedly, as soon as he walked out of the Xuanming Palace, he ran into the Queen and Concubine Xu.

"Xi'er has seen the empress mother, and has seen the concubine mother." Murong Xi'er suppressed the joy on his face, and saluted the queen and Concubine Xu solemnly.

"Xi'er is dressed like this today, is it possible that he is going out of the palace again?" The empress's eyes moved slightly, she looked at Murong Xi'er's clothes from top to bottom, her tone was flat, no emotion could be heard.

After the Osmanthus Festival, Murong Xi'er beat up Su Linglong in Yongning Palace, and refuted her words in front of all the courtiers, the empress didn't even show any superficial affection for Murong Xi'er.

Hearing the Queen's question at this moment, Murong Xi'er's eyelids twitched. Just as she was about to reply, she suddenly caught a glimpse of Concubine Xu's angry and indisputable eyes behind the Queen from the corner of her eye.Unconsciously pinching the palms of his hands, he lowered his head and replied indifferently: "Father sent me out of the palace to handle some errands."

"What do you want a princess to do? Are all the servants in the palace dead?" The queen raised her voice slightly when she said this, and she was not angry and pretentious.Then, he suddenly calmed down, approached Murong Xi'er with a chuckle, seemed to want to grab Murong Xi'er's hand and pat it lightly, but when he looked down and saw Murong Xi'er's hands tucked into his sleeves, he did not move.

He just smiled lightly on his face and said in a low voice: "You are about to get married, so you should calm down a bit. The folks are a bit particular, and it is inconvenient for both parties to meet before marriage. If you always go out of the palace, you will inevitably bump into each other, but it is not very good."

Murong Xi'er suddenly raised her head: "Mother, I don't want to marry!"

"You child, what nonsense are you talking about?" Facing Murong Xi'er's angry look, the queen smiled lightly, as if Murong Xi'er was just a shy girl, "Is there anyone in my daughter's family who doesn't marry? Don't worry." , Father and Empress must choose good ones for you."

With that said, he led Concubine Xu to Xuanming Palace.I don't know if it was intentional or not, but some words floated in the wind: "The eldest son of Feng Taifu's family, I heard that he is a very filial and considerate good boy, with a gentle temperament, and with Xi'er's fiery temper, he must be a perfect match." .”
