Concubine's Handbook of Good Life in Ancient Times

Chapter 42

It was said that the emperor had finished approving the memorials in the middle of the afternoon, so he took a sip of tea.

"Concubine Jia is entering the palace today?"

He seems to remember today.

"Yes, Your Majesty."

The emperor's close chief eunuch, Eunuch Su, stood aside and replied that the emperor told him a few days ago to remember that there were too many memorials today, and the emperor was so fascinated by the approval that he forgot for a while.

"Let's drive Changning Palace."

It just so happened that today's memorial was finished, the emperor thought that he didn't show up when Concubine Jia entered the palace in the morning, and there was still some time in the afternoon to go to Changning Palace to talk to Concubine Jia and get to know each other.

"The Holy Majesty drives Changning Palace~"

When Eunuch Su went out and shouted, the people around quickly stood up, and the walking chariot was also carried over.

Even if the emperor was in the palace, a large number of people followed him.

"The emperor is here~"

Outside the Changning Palace, the sound of the emperor's arrival sounded. Shu Ning, who had just woken up, didn't care about putting on her shoes, and went outside the door to greet him with the people in the Changning Palace.

"See the emperor, long live the emperor, long live the emperor."

"Concubine Jia? Get up!"

The emperor got off the chariot, walked up to Shuning and pulled her up personally.

"Thank you, Your Majesty."

Shuning stood up, and the emperor saw her feet that were only wearing socks.

"Why isn't Aifei wearing shoes?"

"Oh, please forgive the concubine's crime of disrespect. I heard the emperor arrive just now, and the concubine happened to be sitting on the couch and ran out without putting on her shoes."

"So that's it. Is Concubine Ai feeling unwell?"

Although Shu Ning said that she was sitting on the couch, but who was the emperor, one could tell that Concubine Jia was resting and sleeping.

"That's not true. I didn't have a good rest during my lunch break because I just entered the palace. In the afternoon, I let my concubine lie on the couch. I didn't want to sleep, but the massage skills of my concubine were too good, so I fell asleep." caught."

Besides, she thought the emperor would come over at night!

The emperor was a little surprised by Shuning's honest answer, but he was also very satisfied.As an emperor, he fights with his courtiers every day, and he really doesn't want to go back to the harem and see his concubines trick and lie to him.So Shu Ning successfully built a good impression in front of the emperor again, and the emperor's affection for her climbed up again.

"Hurry up and get in the house, be careful not to catch a cold."

When the emperor's favorability increased, he was in a good mood, and when he was in a good mood, he cared about Shuning.How rare is the emperor's concern!At least from Eunuch Su's flash of surprise, it can be seen that in the past, apart from caring more about the empress, the emperor was indifferent to the other concubines.

"Yes."

Shu Ning followed the emperor into the main hall, and Nanny Bai came out with the shoes, saluted the emperor first, and then went to Shu Ning to put on the shoes for her.

Mei Chun came over with tea, Shu Ning took it and served it with her own hands.

"The emperor invites you to drink tea."

This tea was a new tea given by the emperor, and it happened that the emperor came to make it for him to drink.

"My concubine sit here."

The emperor patted the seat beside him, he was really satisfied with Concubine Jia, otherwise he wouldn't let her sit beside him.Of course, another reason is also because Concubine Jia doesn't have a strong smell of powder on her body, usually the emperor is almost fainted by the fragrance of other concubines when he is with other concubines.

It is understandable that concubines like to dress up as emperors, but is it worth putting whole boxes of makeup on their faces?Spring and autumn are fine, but summer and winter are bad.

The summer is too hot, and the smell of powder mixed with sweat means that the emperor doesn't like to spoil concubines in summer.As for winter, the doors and windows are closed, and the smell in the house lingers for a long time, which is not much worse than in summer.

And Jiafei's body didn't have that dizzy smell, only a faint mint scent.

"Thank you, Your Majesty."

Listen to the emperor's words, even though Shu Ning felt that it was a bit strange for two people who had just met to sit so close together, she still sat down.She is not familiar with the emperor, but the emperor is very familiar with her.

"Aren't you afraid of me?" Seeing Shuning generously thanking her and sitting down, the emperor was a little curious.

The women in the harem, even if they let them sit by themselves, they would be cautious and trembling when facing the emperor, for fear that something bad would anger the emperor and put them in the cold palace.

"Will the emperor be angry?"

Shuning didn't answer the question instead.

"You didn't provoke me, so of course I won't be angry."

Although the emperor didn't know why Shuning asked such a question, he answered in a good mood.

"Will the emperor punish the concubine?"

"Ditto, you didn't do anything wrong to annoy me, so of course you won't be punished!"

"Do you like concubines?"

Shu Ning asked with reddened cheeks, although the Emperor Shu Ning was 14 years old, he had to admit that the other party was a handsome guy, with handsome facial features, even if Shu Ning didn't admire the Emperor, she couldn't help but blush.
