Aijia Kefu: Your Majesty, please avoid

Chapter 99

Yanxi Palace.

Su Qingluan sat in front of the dressing table, carefully looking at her beautiful face in the mirror.

The eyebrows and eyes have been painted very carefully, there is no rouge on the cheeks, and only a little peach color is applied lightly on the lips, which makes her look pale and thin, which I feel sorry for.

The earrings have been changed to the sixth pair, and Xiuniang finally couldn't bear it any longer, and walked over with a sullen face: "Your Majesty, the night is getting dark, it's time for you to rest."

Su Qingluan raised her head and smiled: "The drums haven't been beaten yet, how can it be 'late at night'? Over there in Yong'an Hall, I'm afraid the family banquet hasn't started yet."

Xiuniang's brows frowned even tighter: "Family banquets and state banquets are all other people's excitement, so what does it have to do with us? The empress is weak, she should have rested earlier, she shouldn't bother about other people's affairs, Look for trouble!"

"The excitement of others? I'm afraid it may not be so?" Su Qingluan smiled, her body straightened, and her eyes were awe-inspiring.

Xiu Niang went out angrily, and called a little eunuch to give some instructions.

The little eunuch hurriedly bowed to answer, but before he left the door, someone rushed over to report that there was a call from Yong'an Palace, and he asked Concubine Shu to go immediately.

Xiu Niang was stunned for a moment, her complexion suddenly became ugly: "Your Majesty is sick, I'm afraid it's inconvenient to go out..."

Su Qingluan stood up slowly, showing a gentle smile: "The Holy Spirit has a call, how dare you not follow?"

The little eunuch who delivered the letter was not winking either, and immediately corrected him after hearing the words: "It's not because of the call from the saint, but because of the order from the empress dowager."

The smile on Su Qingluan's face froze immediately.

Xiu Niang hurriedly said: "Since the Empress Dowager made the order, there is no need to be busy. The Empress Dowager has always been considerate of our empress' frailty, so she will definitely not blame her."

Su Qingluan let out a chuckle: "If it's my sister's order, I have no reason not to go. Xiuniang, take my cloak."

Xiu Niang was so angry that she was in a daze, but in the end she was powerless to stop, so she had to follow her advice and get her cloak.

Su Qingluan rode in the chariot, and kept urging him to go fast along the way, but after a while, he arrived at Yong'an Hall.

The sound of the piano faintly came from the hall, which was elegant and refined, which made people feel refreshed.

The player who played the piano was not a luthier, but Concubine Xian Cheng Ruoshui.The whole hall can only hear the sound of the piano flowing smoothly, which means that it is an extraordinary skill.

Su Qingluan stood at the door and hesitated for a moment, then walked in.

Princess Jingmin saw it first, and grinned with a big smile: "Look, look, I said she will definitely come!"

Su Qingyuan narrowed her eyes and looked at Su Qingluan thoughtfully.

Su Qingluan lightly moved her lotus steps, walked to the front slowly, and "difficultly" knelt down: "My concubine is late, please forgive me."

Lu Li didn't look up, but still looked at Lu Junnuo who was just nestling in Su Qingyuan's arms and eating and drinking with a smile on his face.

Of course, it is also possible that he was looking at the hands that embraced Lu Junnuo.

Su Qingluan knelt on the ground until her knees hurt, and finally heard "get up".

After saying the three words "Thank you, Emperor", she realized belatedly that those three words were said by Su Qingyuan.

"Your Majesty..." Su Qingluan stood on the ground, a little embarrassed.

Su Qingyuan showed her a smile, as if she had no heart in the city: "Concubine Xian and the others have always regretted that they didn't have the chance to talk to you more, and the concubine also said that she missed you a little, and wanted to invite you here. I thought you were sick Zhong didn't want to go out, but I didn't expect you to come."

Su Qingluan lowered her head and said in a low voice: "My sister asked me to come, how dare I not come."

"Sit down. You are heavy, don't get tired." Su Qingyuan waved her hand casually.

Su Qingluan hesitated, and sat down beside Princess Jingmin.

After Cheng Ruoshui played the last piano note, she gracefully put down her hands and sat upright with her sleeves hanging down: "Sister Concubine Shu is here." Su Qingluan nodded and smiled: "Sister Concubine Xian is thinking about it."

Princess Jingmin clapped her hands and said with a smile: "Concubine Xian's piano is over, do you want Concubine Shu to dance?"

Lu Junnuo looked up from the table full of food and made a face: "Her waist is as round as a bucket, how can she dance?"

Su Qingyuan patted Lu Junnuo's head casually, and said lightly: "Concubine Shu has never been good at these things, and now she is ill, so don't bully her. It's not early, everyone eat whatever you want , let’s disperse if it’s time to disperse.”

Su Qingluan sat up straight, and said with a smile: "Qingluan is really not good at singing and dancing, but today's festive feast, how dare you spoil the fun? The day before yesterday when I was sick and bored, I made up a new word by chance, and dared to show my shame. Please don't blame the emperor. .”

She must address her as "Emperor", but Lu Li never looked up at her.Only Su Qingyuan nodded, agreeing.

Su Qingluan was very unwilling in his heart, and his face became even more ugly.

The little maid came over to fetch the pipa, Su Qingluan lightly grasped it and twirled it slowly, playing it "clank".

Su Qingyuan didn't know the rhythm, and didn't understand the poems, so she didn't understand what she was singing.I just think her voice is low and gentle, very touching.

Princess Jingmin's whole face was wrinkled, as if she was very disdainful.On the contrary, Cheng Ruoshui and Shen Junan sat upright, listening carefully, thoughtful.

After singing a que, Lu Li finally raised his head and slapped his hands lightly twice.

Princess Jingmin immediately refused: "Jiaojiao Didi, what is it singing? It's not as good as Concubine Xian's piano!"

Su Qingluan raised the corners of her lips slightly, and bowed her head in silence.

Lu Li smiled and said, "Concubine Xian's piano sound is elegant and refined, and Concubine Shu's new lyrics are fresh and timeless, each has its own merits, so why bother to distinguish between high and low?"

Su Qingyuan frowned, feeling blocked in her heart.

At this time, Lu Junnuo was clamoring to eat the soy elbow again, Su Qingyuan hurriedly asked someone to give it to him, and couldn't care less for a while.

Su Qingluan got up slowly, knelt down again, and raised her head high: "Poetry expresses ambition, sings love, does the emperor only hear 'fresh and meaningful'?"

As soon as these words came out, everyone changed color.

Cheng Ruoshui and Shen Junan looked at each other, then lowered their heads, and smiled knowingly at the same time.

Princess Jingmin laughed with a "chi": "Yongqing? So you wrote the first poem with great pains, and you came to invite the emperor's brother to favor you? It's hard for you to take the trouble, but it's a pity, the emperor's brother didn't Like you like this!"

While talking, she proudly rubbed against Lu Li's side, raised her head as if asking for credit, and showed a big smile: "Brother Emperor, am I right?"

Lu Li frowned slightly, neither saying right nor wrong.

Su Qingluan couldn't get off the stage for a while, so she looked at Su Qingyuan for help.

Cheng Ruoshui smiled, and tentatively smoothed things over: "Sister Concubine Shu thinks of the emperor in her heart, and it is also an elegant thing to write lyrics to eulogize love. Even if we are clumsy and incompetent, we may not be able to write it even if we have the heart." Woolen cloth."

Su Qingluan's face turned red and white, and she felt ashamed for a while.

Since she was a child, she was timid and afraid of seeing strangers. How could she have thought that one day she would stand out in public like she is now, and be judged by others?

Although she had already imagined this possibility, she still felt uncomfortable, and the resentment in her heart increased a little.

Su Qingyuan had already noticed her sister's eyes calling for help.But somehow, she just couldn't bring herself to help.

After being frozen for a while, she had no choice but to turn her head to look at Lu Li: "They talk so lively, you should express your opinion anyway."

Lu Li smiled, and said lightly, "Jing Min has always been open-minded, Concubine Shu won't argue with her."

Su Qingyuan smiled when she heard the words: "Get up quickly, what are you doing kneeling around? It looks like the noble concubine bullied you."

Su Qingluan hesitated on the ground, refusing to get up.

Princess Jingmin simply leaned into Lu Li's arms and showed Su Qingluan a provocative smile.

Su Qingluan's face turned pale immediately.

Lu Li frowned slightly, and subconsciously turned his body away, avoiding her more intimate gestures.

Su Qingyuan lowered her head to help Lu Junnuo pick out the fish bones, pretending not to see other people's small movements.

Su Qingluan knelt on the ground for a long time, but no one persuaded her to get up again.

Both Cheng and Shen looked like they were sitting on a mountain watching a tiger fight, smiling and standing still.

Su Qingluan gradually became a little tired, and suddenly frowned, thinking about it.

In the strange silence, she suddenly let out a low whimper, and her whole body trembled slightly.

"What's wrong?" Su Qingyuan asked her with a frown.

Su Qingluan shook her head and did not answer, but slowly withdrew her hands and covered her stomach.

Cheng Ruoshui hurriedly stood up: "Is Sister Concubine Shu not feeling well? After kneeling on the ground for so long, could it be that the fetal gas is hurt..."

"I...it's fine..." Su Qingluan shook her head slowly, but bit the corner of her lips tightly, as if trying to bear it.

Lu Li put down the wine cup in his hand and raised his head: "If you are weak, don't go out casually. Xiaoluzi, send a few more people to take Concubine Shu back to the palace, and then send an imperial doctor to take a look."

"Your Majesty!" Su Qingluan struggled to raise her head.

Lu Li met her gaze, expressionless: "What else?"

Su Qingluan stepped forward on her knees, and said anxiously: "The concubine's illness has been cured, and the fetus has been stabilized, so there is no need to be overly careful. The slaves of the Yanxi Palace only know that the concubine is weak, and they are always careful, and the concubine is not allowed to do whatever he wants. Walk around, and the sisters are not allowed to come and visit... In this way, the concubine is like a confinement. Although the body is well maintained, but the heart is always worried... The concubine dared to ask the emperor for mercy, and for the sake of the child in the womb, allow the concubine When the concubine is bored, go out of the palace for a walk... The concubine will definitely keep her duty and never cause trouble!"

Lu Li narrowed his eyes and stared at her carefully.

After Su Qingluan finished speaking, her legs were already weak and she was dripping with cold sweat.

Princess Jingmin chuckled beside her: "I've known you for so many years, and it's the first time I've seen you talk so much in one breath! But, Sister Concubine Shu, did you forget to cover your belly? Really moved People with fetal gas are not like you—the Empress Dowager, don’t you think so?”

Su Qingyuan showed a smile on her face: "It may not be because I forgot, maybe it doesn't hurt anymore now?"

Princess Jingmin covered her mouth and smiled: "Yes, yes, Sister Concubine Shu's stomach is really a good thing, it hurts when you want it to hurt, and it doesn't hurt when you don't want it to hurt—so good Stomach, it really hurts!"

Su Qingluan's face turned red again.But she still knelt tenaciously, refusing to fall down.

Lu Li stared at Su Qingluan for a long time, then suddenly smiled: "You have always been withdrawn, this is the first time I've heard you say that you are willing to go out for a walk."

Su Qingluan tried hard to squeeze out a smile: "The concubine himself often feels puzzled, maybe the child in his belly likes to be lively?"

Lu Li smiled and said, "Since you said that, I have no reason to dismiss it. It's just that you are weak, and now you have to be more careful, and you must have someone by your side at all times, otherwise I will find out, and I will not forgive you! "

"Thank you, Your Majesty!" Su Qingluan was overjoyed and kowtowed repeatedly.

Lu Li ordered Xiu Niang to help her up, and said with a smile, "Now, can we start the banquet with peace of mind?"

Su Qingyuan raised her head, with a smile that was not a smile: "Whoever wants anything else, let's say it all together. The emperor has always been stingy, after today, he may not remember to reward you at any time in the future."

Princess Jingmin hugged Lu Li's arm and said coquettishly, "The emperor's elder brother has rewarded Concubine Shu, but he has to reward me! The New Year's Eve is approaching, so I can be exempted from being grounded, right?"

Lu Li glanced at her, and said coldly, "It's inevitable, didn't you all come out?"

Princess Jingmin smiled "hehe", then raised her head and said with a smile: "I still want a favor! Brother Emperor, let Jingmin drink this glass of wine, okay?"

Lu Li raised his wine glass with a smile, and said with a smile, "I'm suddenly a little scared—you always like lions who speak loudly, and if you restrain yourself like this today, you must be cheating."

Several people present laughed.

Princess Jingmin raised the full wine cup in her hand, and hooked Lu Li's arm.

"What is this for?" Lu Li's smile faded.

Princess Jingmin smiled and said: "I heard that when folk couples get married, they have to share glasses of wine! We married into the palace, and we didn't even have a proper wedding. What a grievance! The emperor's brother opened Well, why don't you make up for us with a cup of wine!"

Su Qingyuan put down her chopsticks, and said flatly, "It's a good sign that the alliance has been established for a hundred years."

Lu Li's face darkened, and he put the wine cup back on the table.

"Brother Emperor!" Princess Jingmin's smile froze.

Lu Li said in a deep voice, "You probably haven't figured out your identity yet? Civilian concubines don't have any formal weddings; the rules of getting married and wine are all reserved for the married couple! Although you are a noble concubine, you are nothing more than a concubine in folk terms."

Princess Jingmin flicked her hand, and tears flowed down immediately.

Lu Li sneered and stood up: "I'm tired, you can do whatever you want."

After saying this, he walked away with a gloomy face, ignoring Princess Jingmin's yelling.

Princess Jingmin watched him walk away, "Wow -" burst into tears.

Su Qingyuan frowned, unable to sit still.

She, the empress dowager, is still sitting here, and the emperor himself leaves first. Is there such a rule?
Lu Junnuo wiped his mouth and patted the table angrily: "What a disappointment! I'm not full yet!"

Su Qingyuan breathed a sigh of relief, and said with a quick smile: "No one is stopping you, just eat."

Princess Jingmin raised her wine glass, as if about to throw it.

Su Qingyuan raised her head and gave her a cold look: "Concubine, you have surpassed today."

"Where is it beyond..." Princess Jingmin was a little unconvinced.

Su Qingyuan sat up straight, and said in a deep voice: "Etiquette cannot be abolished, and the word 'respect' cannot be surpassed by anyone. You rely on the emperor's favor to make such an unreasonable request, where do you put the South Vietnamese etiquette?" Land? If the emperor lets you mess around, will there still be rules in this palace?"

Princess Jingmin was unconvinced: "The rules in this palace..."

Su Qingyuan looked at her expressionlessly.

Princess Jingmin suddenly showed timidity, flattened her mouth, and lowered her head.

Su Qingyuan sighed: "Now that there is no master in the middle palace, it's a bit outrageous. The status in the palace is respected by you, but your temper has always been loose, and now you still don't know how to restrain yourself. How can you set an example for all the concubines! "

Su Qingluan suddenly raised her head: "The post has been vacant for a long time, won't my sister urge the emperor?"

Su Qingyuan narrowed her eyes and met her gaze: "If you have a suitable candidate in your mind, you might as well talk about it."

Su Qingluan's face changed slightly, and he hurriedly lowered his head again.

At this time, Lu Junnuo had already dropped the chopsticks in his hand, Su Qingyuan hugged him and got up to leave the table, saying in a deep voice, "You guys talk about yours, Ai's family is also bored."

"Sister—" Su Qingluan immediately chased after her.

Su Qingyuan paused and waited for her.

Su Qingluan's face immediately showed joy, with tears in his eyes: "Sister..."

After walking out of the door, Su Qingyuan put Lu Junnuo down, and walked slowly holding his little hand.

Su Qingluan graciously supported Su Qingyuan's hand beside her: "Sister, you should be more careful, your body is almost five months old, what if you get knocked?"

Su Qingyuan withdrew her hand forcefully, called Luoxia to come and help her, and said lightly: "You really have to be extra careful. Nowadays, I dare not walk on roads or climb mountains; as for those who have ulterior motives, I don’t even dare to get close.”

Su Qingluan's expression changed slightly, and his feet slowed down.

Su Qingyuan looked back at her, and said with a smile: "Why don't you leave? I have something to tell you!"

Su Qingluan thought for a while, and followed up bravely: "What do you want to say, sister?"

Su Qingyuan smiled and said: "Yesterday I went for a walk on West Street and ran into an old friend."

"My sister has always had a lot of 'old friends'." Su Qingluan was very worried.

Su Qingyuan smiled: "Yes...he is a very good old friend. I loved him earlier and recognized him as my younger brother. Who would have thought that he has become such an asshole now."

"Why, did he say something that shouldn't be said?" Su Qingluan's face changed slightly.

Su Qingyuan smiled and spread her hands: "Shouldn't say it, he didn't have time to say it——I want someone to teach him a lesson, but who knows that if he didn't pay attention, he missed and was beaten to death."

Su Qingluan staggered and almost fell.

Luoxia hastily stretched out her hand to support her: "Concubine Shu, be careful!"

Su Qingluan raised her head and asked in a hoarse voice, "How could you be so...careless?"

Su Qingyuan shook her head with a smile: "I don't know. Now the slaves in this palace are becoming more and more indifferent to what they do."

"Then... isn't the emperor angry?" Su Qingluan hesitated for a long time, and finally continued to ask.

Su Qingyuan's smile gradually faded, and she pursed her lips as if distressed: "He said no, but... I always feel that he is angry."

"So that's how it is... Then sister, you have to be careful." Su Qingluan gradually recovered her smile.

Su Qingyuan sighed: "So what can you do if you are careful? What should come will always come... Look at his face today, does he take you and me seriously? Qingluan, now you The two of us only have this one child, if the child is gone, both of us will die."

Su Qingluan's expression froze.

Su Qingyuan turned her head and looked at her with a smile: "You have been very thoughtful since you were young, and you must have thought more than me. You don't need me to tell you anything. I'm just afraid that you were bewitched by others and became confused for a while—" ——Qingluan, it is easy to cut down a tree, but difficult to replant it, you have to think about it clearly.”

Su Qingluan's brows became tighter and tighter, and her feet couldn't help but slow down.

Su Qingyuan didn't wait for her, let go of her pace and walked straight away.

After walking a certain distance, Luoxia lowered her voice and said: "Concubine Shu's thoughts are getting heavier and heavier. If she is allowed to go on like this, I'm afraid it will be bad."

"Your master has his own tricks, what are you worrying about?" Su Qingyuan raised her head and looked ahead, nonchalantly.

Luoxia couldn't help but looked back again, and found that Su Qingluan was still standing there, dazed, wondering what she was thinking.

Su Qingyuan returned to Fanghua Palace, and saw Lu Li who was waiting for her in the room as expected.

Lu Junnuo winked, seeing that the situation was not good, he slipped out quietly.

Su Qingyuan lazily leaned back on the soft couch: "Get some food, I'm starving to death!"

Luoxia hurriedly beckoned the little maids to retreat, and Lu Li immediately reached out and grabbed Su Qingyuan.

Su Qingyuan frowned slightly, and sat down beside him obediently, looking at her red wrist that was clenched by him.

Lu Li let go, his expression still gloomy: "'A century of alliance'? You are so generous!"

Su Qingyuan rolled her eyes and snorted coldly: "Why, you feel very disappointed that I don't want to be jealous with them in person? My identity is there, what do you think I should say?"

Lu Li's face became more angry.

Su Qingyuan shrank back on the couch with her stomach in her arms, and said with a sneer: "Today I was wrong anyway, so there is no reason to put up my old face to offend them! There is a concubine on the left and a concubine on the right, who is thin and fat? Isn't it your sweetheart? If I really want to overthrow the pot of jealousy, you're afraid you'll complain about my ignorance again!"

"So, you're actually still jealous?" Lu Li's expression suddenly changed a lot.

Su Qingyuan gave him a blank look, and really didn't want to answer his words.

Lu Li stretched out his hand to embrace her, rubbed her red wrist, and smiled, "A Yuan."

Su Qingyuan lowered her head and pouted.

Lu Li smiled: "It's still nice to be jealous. I can't help being angry when I see you being so virtuous and generous."

"If I fight with your concubines face to face, who are you facing?" Su Qingyuan asked him with staring eyes.

Lu Li narrowed his eyes, and smiled treacherously: "Naturally - whoever treats me well, I will treat him! Concubine Shu has always been shy and withdrawn, and today she has spent all her time trying to fill in a new word to express her admiration and love for me." Miss, you are only willing to make me angry all day long!"

Su Qingyuan was just pretending to be angry at first, but at this moment she was really annoyed: "So, because of that new word, you let her out indiscriminately, and let her continue to stir up trouble in the palace?"
