I don't want to be wronged again

Chapter 145 176, old love new love

The emperor took the empress's hand to sit down in the seat, and said apologetically to the empress: "Mei'er is young, and she panicked because she felt a little uncomfortable. She also wanted to be brave, and was afraid that she would not be able to attend today's banquet. So let me accompany her , it’s just better now. I wronged you and came alone, and I will make it up to you tomorrow.”

Hu Shanxiang looked into the emperor's eyes, and smiled softly: "Look at what the emperor said, can the concubine be measured by this idea? What kind of thing is this, and the emperor needs to compensate me? Sister Liu left her family for the first time, just in need Didn't the concubine come here when people love and care for her? It was the concubine's responsibility to take care of the emperor's harem and take care of the concubines so that the emperor would not have to worry about the future. Now that sister Liu is unwell, the concubine should take care of her. Yes, but I have to bother the emperor to comfort the concubine, it is the concubine's fault, and the concubine should ask the emperor for sin here."

Concubine Liu Xi was the most outspoken, she took the queen's words and curled her lips: "Empress, please don't take everything on yourself. There are so many sisters in the harem, none of them jumped out of the cracks in the rocks, and no one is divorced. Did parents come here? If it’s like this all day long, you can’t take care of me if you’re sick today and I’m sick tomorrow.”

She raised her eyebrows, gave the emperor a sideways look, covered her mouth and smiled and said, "Even if you add the emperor and comfort you everywhere every day, you can't take care of it."

The emperor was a little embarrassed at first, so she pricked him a bit, and couldn't help laughing again: "You glib! The queen didn't say anything, but you came to mock me!"

Because Concubine Liu Xi was the first concubine to follow the emperor, and she had the eldest daughter of the emperor under her knees, the emperor and empress usually treat her with a lot of grace.And because she was always the best at currying favor with the queen, she was regarded as a confidant by the queen and given her the right to assist the harem.She is the most sharp-tongued and unreasonable, and she is often used as a spear by the queen, and she is proud of herself.

During the banquet, the actors in the palace played drums, and rows of long-sleeved dancers danced with the songs. The concubines kept shuttling to toast and flatter the emperor and queen.

Qiufeng and Qiuyuan poured the boiled water into the bathtub, soaked in fresh cypress branches and bamboo leaves, and the hot air in the basin immediately gave off a faint fragrance.Both Qiufeng and Qiuyuan were full of solemnity, Qingdai shook her head and said nothing, she just took off her clothes and stepped into the basin without saying a word.

Qiufeng Qiuyuan helped Qingdai take a bath and clean herself. Qingdai changed her clothes and tied up her hair with a thorn hairpin.Glancing at Qiu Yuan and Qiu Feng, who were so skinny with sharp chins, pity flashed across their eyes, and they thought to themselves, "It's almost time! You will be compensated for every bit of hardship you suffer!"

Qiu Yuan silently handed over the jade flute, Qiu Feng opened his mouth, but finally couldn't help it: "Miss, are you really going? Now the emperor dotes on Xin Fenyi, everyone knows it. He, he has changed Heart! Miss, do you want to throw yourself into the fire pit?!"

Qing Dai's body walking out paused, did not look back, and said calmly after a while, "Yes, I'm going. It would be better if he changed his mind. I was here to plot against him, and this is just right, I plotted I don’t feel guilty when I think of him.”

She walked quietly to the Taiye Pool, her heart was cold: "Sun Han, Sun Han, why do you still have heartache? Over and over again, don't you understand the nature of men? Why are you still sad? , Sad? Cool down, go and see his wives and concubines in groups, and see him hugging left and right. At this point, there is no way out. Go, Zhanyi is still watching you .”

The autumn night sky is dark blue and clear, with a few stars dotted in the sky, but a plate of moon tremblingly reflected in the water.In the distance, the lights on the Taiye Pond were brilliant, the figures were shaking, and there were faint bursts of music mixed with laughter.

Qingdai leaned against a large bluestone under a blooming osmanthus tree, silent for a while, took out the jade flute in her sleeve, and pressed it to her mouth slowly, a song "Farewell" and the scent of sweet-scented osmanthus were like water Flowing in the autumn night sky.

After a song, I saw a small boat galloping towards this side from the lake like an arrow.Qing Dai laughed at herself: It came so fast.Apparently he didn't remember it either.I just don't know how much of this love is left between his new and old loves?
After the banquet, the emperor and queen in the Chongzhi Palace and everyone moved to the platform outside the palace to watch the moon because the full moon had already risen in the sky. On the banquet, a crab with a big navel and various exquisite moon cakes were placed on the table. And fruits like apples, pomegranates, grapes, and pears.

Because Princess Yongqing was only interested in playing just now and didn't eat anything, so the queen ordered some snacks for her.Seeing the third prince quietly leaning against Concubine Zhuo's arms, the Queen smiled at Concubine Zhuo and said, "You Ning didn't eat anything just now, this sweet-scented osmanthus cake is steamed with milk and chicken, white sugar and honey. , very sweet, children love it the most. Give You Ning a taste too."

Concubine Zhuo smiled lightly: "Thank you, ma'am, You Ning's stomach has been bad for the past few days, and the imperial doctor ordered him to starve cleanly for a few days. Before coming here, the old queen mother specifically asked him not to eat too much. .It’s a disappointment to your empress.”

"Is the stomach bad?" There was a hint of sarcasm in the queen's eyes: "Then sister, you have to be careful, such a young child is the most prone to diseases, and a little carelessness will be troublesome. You have to take care of it carefully. "

Concubine Zhuo drooped her long eyelashes, answering in a low voice.The queen embraced Princess Yongqing with a smile, took a piece of sweet-scented osmanthus cake and fed it to her, and told her in a low voice to be obedient and not to run around.

On the other side, Concubine Xi and Concubine Liu Zhimei leaned on the emperor's side. Concubine Xi peeled off a shell full of crab roe and fed it to the emperor. Concubine Liu Zhimei also peeled a grape and stuffed it into the emperor's mouth.

Concubine Xi cast her a glance: "My sister is wrong. The emperor eats cold crabs, and my sister should pass some ginger vinegar. How can I let the emperor eat cold grapes? My sister is young and ignorant, isn't she? "

Liu Zhimei smiled brilliantly when she heard the words: "Ah! My sister is right, but it's my sister's fault. It's because my sister is older and has more knowledge. Please teach me more."

Concubine Xi was originally the eldest among the concubines, and she couldn't help but feel angry when she saw the young concubine as fresh and tender as a spring flower.Now Liu Zhimei dared to say that she was "old" to her face, and she was so angry that her face turned green.

Liu Zhimei smiled again: "Ah! It's because my sister is clumsy and can't speak. I made a mistake. Sister, you are naturally beautiful, and you don't look old at all. Sister, you are a lot of adults, so don't be angry with my sister. My sister is willing to offer a gift. Wu, make amends to my sister. Your majesty, how do you like it?" He said to make amends to Concubine Xi, but his eyes glanced at the emperor, winking like silk, indescribably charming.
