Chen Palace

Chapter 27 The Holy Family
"Master Shangyi is awake!"

She heard a cry of surprise, and slowly opened her eyes——

I saw more than a dozen court ladies and eunuchs knelt down all around, holding bowls full of medicinal fragrance.Seeing her wake up, the maid in charge yelled out in surprise.

Chen Lu got up slowly, her long black hair hung down on her chest, and she floated like a fairy in the breeze.

When Qu Yun came in after hearing the news, what he saw was such a picture——

It seems to be going away against the wind, so unreal, illusory and blurred.

He asked everyone to retreat, and tentatively called out:

"Xiaochen..."

She still hung her head down, letting her hair drift, covering her eyes.

"Xiaoyun...I dreamed of him..."

"I dreamed that I was still twelve or thirteen years old. I rode away and said to Yuan Xu: Wait for me for three years, and I will fight side by side with you..."

As if in a dream, she murmured: "How I wish, this is just a dream... When I turned around, Yuan Xu was still waiting for me there. We agreed to drive out the Tartars together and bring peace to the world."

She raised her head, and tears finally welled up in her eyes——

"He betrayed me! He finally betrayed our oath!"

Those tears, like shark beads, glistened, but finally fell into the dust and disappeared.

Yuan Qi heard the report from the palace man that Lord Shangyi was awake. He felt relieved and walked in quickly, but saw Chen Lu had already got up and was tidying up behind the screen, while Qu Yun was standing outside with a worried expression on his face.

Startled, he rushed in and collided with the figure walking out from behind the screen——

"what!"

With a soft cry, Chen Lu was knocked down in a double-breasted palace gown, and Yuan Qi hurriedly supported her.

She looked up, and the two faced each other.

Yuan Qi only saw her in a blue veil, her face was pale and almost transparent, and she was so weak that she was not frightened when she saw her, she just squinted her eyes slightly, that way, innocent and charming, it made people's heart skip a beat.

The so-called beauty is in the eye of the beholder. Fortunately, he does not know the true meaning of this look.

He helped Chen Lu up, but didn't let go. He picked her up and gently placed her on the bed amidst the maid's exclamation.

"I heard that you are better, so I was in a hurry to come to see you, but I bumped into you—quickly get up and call the imperial doctor!" The second half of the sentence was addressed to the panicked maid.

Chen Lu hurriedly said: "It's just a bump, it's okay."

"You have been shocked by the internal force, it is very dangerous!"

Yuan Qi frowned, and the worry was palpable: "You were too reckless that day, and the messenger spoke provocatively, and I have my own way to punish him. I made you angry-you are too violent!"

Chen Lu chuckled softly, "I'm not doing it for myself, it's just that I'm a celestial being, how could this kind of people be able to abuse me!"

In the last sentence, the meaning is decisive, and the sassy air can be seen.

Yuan Qi raised his eyebrows, stared at her again and felt a sense of confidant - he usually only heard Yingying's babbling, women's coquettish behavior was just for the sake of favor, how could he hear such golden and stone voices ?
There are such women in the world!

Every time, she surprised him...

He smiled brightly, the young emperor who was only twenty years old was full of heroism.

"Your big victory really made me proud. They thought I had no generals outside and no masters inside... It's a joke!"

Yuan Qi thought of the horror and shame of the Tatar envoy that day, and felt extremely happy in his heart.

He was only ten years old when he came to the throne, and the famous generals in the court were withered. Relying on the private soldiers of several vassal kings and the sudden emergence of Zhou Jun, he was able to make the Tatars retreat. It made the ten-year-old emperor feel extremely humiliated.

"You are the only one who dares to openly confront the Tatars. Those civil and military generals, hearing the word Tatar, are like a mouse seeing a cat."

he sighed sarcastically.

"There are also some ministers who are not like this. On that day, the Minister of the Ministry of War, Mr. Huang, didn't he say that he was impassioned and wanted to 'pass down the head of the Great Khan to the world'!"

"Do you believe what he said?"

Yuan Qi yelled in disbelief, and when he saw Chen Lu trembling with a smile, he realized that he had been teased.

"Your Majesty, forgive me. This Mr. Huang is very ambitious, but it's better for literati not to get involved in wars!"

After Chen Lu laughed, she said bluntly.

Yuan Qi found it strange, let alone this dynasty, since the past dynasties, the status of literati has been higher than that of military generals. Using Jun's example as an example, I think that this group of generals did not understand the righteousness of saints, and no one suppressed them, which made them so arrogant today.

Under such one-sided public opinion, Chen Lu actually thinks that literati "don't meddle in war"?
He was surprised, after some questioning, Chen Lu just smiled and refused to say anything.

In a hurry to ask, she actually said: "I'm just a woman, how can I talk about government affairs on my own! What I said just now is just nonsense, and I can make you laugh, it's my credit."

Yuan Qi couldn't handle such a strange woman, but because of her frail health, he said goodbye and left.

Chen Lu looked at the surrounding environment, and saw that the utensils in the bedroom were of high quality, and three shifts of palace staff took turns to serve her. After asking, she found out that this was the unused Jade Moon Palace. The emperor was afraid that there would be insufficient staff in the small courtyard, so he specially moved her here.

The little palace maid finished talking endlessly, and said enviously: "The emperor is so kind to Lord Shangyi. You have been in a coma for a day and a night. He came to visit several times, and it seems that you haven't slept yet!"

Chen Lu smiled without saying a word, and after everyone retreated, she said softly, "Okay? Back then, why didn't Yuan Xu regard me as the only treasure..."

Facing the magnificent palace, Kong smiled sadly——

"In this world, I can't tell the truth from the fake heart, and I'm too tired to tell..."

"I only know that I would rather bear the burden of the whole world than let anyone hurt me!"

****
Before Chen Lu's body recovered, there was an endless stream of various gifts, as well as concubines from the harem who came to condolences.

Such a grand scene of a busy family only slightly faded after the imperial physician moved out of the emperor's oral order.

There are a few people, but they are really unstoppable.

The first person who rushed into the room regardless of dissuasion was Mei Guifei, who had already been promoted to the first level. She personally carried the good supplements and cried like pear blossoms with rain—my sister saved me from fire and water last time. This time, there is an emergency. To be heartbroken...

She served attentively by the side, despite the fact that she had a miscarriage soon and her body was very weak.

After finally getting the palace people to persuade her to leave, the second person who appeared was Concubine Qi who was banned for one month and fined for three months.Concubine Mei's miscarriage caused a lot of rumors. Although she cannot be said to be the murderer, she is not without suspicion. Yuan Qi gave her a small punishment on the charge of "incompetent assistant in the harem", but it also made her lose face. Concubine Shangmei is now back in favor, and her position as the number one concubine is in jeopardy.

She came prepared this time, and she saluted Chen Lu as soon as she entered the door.

"Shangyi, I know, I offended you too much before, I'm afraid you don't have a good impression of me."

She was always pampered, but this time she was unexpectedly sincere.

"That's not the case. In fact, I really admire your mother's true temperament!"

Concubine Qi thought she was talking politely, but unexpectedly, Chen Lu continued: "The emperor likes your true temperament, so, you must not change your spoiled manner."

"Shangyi is entertaining me?!"

Concubine Qi was annoyed: "Now the emperor is extremely disappointed in me, and has been staying with Concubine Mei Gui. If I continue to mess around, I will definitely provoke Thunder!"

Chen Lu smiled, her smile was as clear and beautiful as the dawn of clouds, her voice was sweet and seductive——

"What the emperor wants is your nonsense, so that he can balance the entire harem..."

"He's staying with Concubine Mei Gui, just to see if this newly discovered chess piece is useful..."

"You don't want to, end up as a concubine!"

Concubine Qi felt that the girl's eyes were blurred, arousing the most secret ambition and desire in people's hearts.

"I understand." She took a deep breath, as if she had made a great determination, she stood up and bowed: "Please Lord Shangyi give me some pointers."

"You can embarrass anyone as usual, especially the queen, but don't touch Concubine Zhou."

"Also, please tell your father—"

Concubine Qi's pupils contracted, no matter how stupid she was, she knew that what she was talking about was no longer about the harem.

"It's better to fight than to make peace, and it's better to be slow than haste." The girl said firmly.

Seeing her leaving figure, Chen Lu turned around and said to Qu Yun:

"Look, Xiaoyun, the wind blows from the end of Qingping... soon, there will be a big event of heaven and earth breaking!"

The young girl's voice was relaxed and wise, but the last touch of warmth mixed with coldness in the depths of her eyes had completely disappeared.
