Xiangmen Concubine: The Emperor's Abandoned Concubine

Chapter 417
In Huaqing Palace, Gu Qing'er became impatient.

The days seemed to be back to the days when she first entered the palace, the emperor's favor continued, but she always felt insecure.

Although he can see the emperor every day, and even occasionally stays in the palace to listen to her play a piece of piano music, but he never spends the night in Huaqing Palace.

This made Gu Qing'er unbearable, but she had to pretend to be gentle and sensible, and put the emperor's state affairs first.

She knew that the current situation of the Gu family was not very good.It was not easy for the emperor to talk to her now, but she was not satisfied with the current situation.

Her future, the future of the Gu family, can't just be this kind of favor, but needs more.

"Rumor, come here." Seemingly hesitating for a long time, Gu Qing'er called Rumor who was working as a female celebrity.

Rumors said softly: "Your Majesty."

Gu Qing'er looked a little hesitant, looked at the rumors and asked: "Let someone go to the Xizheng Palace and the Imperial Study Room to have a look and find out clearly. Is the Emperor busy tonight?"

"By the way, remember to send someone to Jiuyou Palace to see when that woman and His Royal Highness usually rest."

Rumor hastily said: "Yes, ma'am."

After a pause, she whispered: "Your Majesty, the Empress is not in good health, and she always goes to bed early. His Royal Highness is still young, so she also goes to bed early at night, but she wakes up earlier."

"The Queen's health is not very good?" She asked knowingly, she needed to know how bad it was.

Rumors said softly: "From what the maids said, the Empress seems to sleep more than His Royal Highness every day. Sometimes His Royal Highness wakes up, but the Queen is still resting."

Such a body, could it be because the emperor...

Thinking of this, Gu Qing'er's cheeks brushed and became extremely ugly.

Rumor was stunned for a moment, as if he had thought of something, he quickly said: "Your Majesty, the emperor is now young and young, and it is time for him to be full of energy."

"A body like the empress's, the emperor's side..." Her cheeks were slightly red, and she was embarrassed to say the following words, gossip.

Gu Qing'er looked at her, frowned and said: "But the emperor never stays in Huaqing Palace, even if the palace wants to, I want the emperor to stay there..."

Is there any way to make the emperor stay.

Rumor rolled her eyes: "Maybe the empress can pretend to be taking a nap before the emperor comes and wake up because of a nightmare, and use this matter to let the emperor stay."

Judging by the emperor's expression, he has some affection for his master.What's more, when the emperor was not in the palace before, the emperor's heir in his mother's arms was so gone. As a father, the emperor must be very distressed.

Rumors thought, and told his mother what was in his heart.

Gu Qing'er listened, his eyes slowly revealed light.

"Come here, there will be a lot of rewards!"

Rumor hastily knelt down to thank him, with smiles in his eyes.

As long as the emperor stays and the mother's stomach is more competitive, then life in Huaqing Palace will be easier when she becomes pregnant with the emperor's heir.

What disappointed Gu Qing'er was that she did use the excuse of having nightmares to keep the emperor in Huaqing Palace that night, even until midnight.

But the emperor has been reviewing the memorial, and occasionally raised his eyes to look at her, just to let her go to rest, and didn't mean to let her sleep.

It was like this for two consecutive days, and Gu Qing'er became more and more anxious.

Gossip is not a problem, seeing that their mother is getting more and more anxious, and their life is getting more and more sad because of the mother's bad mood.

Finally, Gu Qing'er felt desperate, and used the tricks she had used before on the emperor again.Although she knew it was wrong, but for the emperor's favor and future, she had to do that.

Gu Qing'er's plan is naturally repeating the old trick.

After the emperor came over that afternoon, Gu Qing'er served the emperor for dinner as planned.It's not time for lunch either, it's too late for lunch and too early for dinner.

Gu Qing'er didn't care about those things, so she asked the imperial dining room to bring various dishes, and poured wine for the emperor herself.

At the dinner table, Feng Jiuyou looked at Gu Qing'er who was always attentive, and the corners of her lips curled up slightly: "I don't know what kind of meal it is for now?"

There are beads of sweat on the palms of the hands, but Gu Qing'er's face is calm.

From the corner of his eyes, he glanced at the Anshen incense burning outside the bead curtain, and his eyes became firmer.

"Your Majesty, my concubine had a nightmare last night. I woke up this morning feeling empty, but I didn't have any appetite, so I didn't eat."

"But after seeing the emperor, the concubines felt much better. They were worried that the emperor would not be able to handle state affairs, so they happened to serve the emperor for dinner."

What she meant was that she didn't eat breakfast, so she only wanted to eat now when she was hungry.As for the emperor, he is too busy with state affairs, so it is just right to have an extra meal.

Feng Jiuyou looked at Gu Qing'er's delicate face, with a slight smile on her lips: "Did Concubine Qing not eat?"

Frowning slightly, Feng Jiuyou said: "Come here, pull down the maid who is serving Concubine Qing from the bedroom of Huaqing Palace, and beat her to death with a stick!"

Gu Qing'er and Hou Zai's maid outside the bead curtain were terrified: "Your Majesty?"

Feng Jiuyou looked at her tenderly: "Concubine Qing doesn't need to intercede for them, Concubine Qing has been hungry all morning, yet they seem to be fine."

"What's the use of keeping such a careless servant who has no master?" With the final word, Feng Jiuyou's eyes burst out with frightening anger when he spoke.

"Your Majesty, have mercy... Your Majesty, have mercy..."

In Huaqing Palace, the servants in the palace knelt down on the ground, their faces were bloodless, and their bodies were trembling almost to the ground.

Seeing a flash of impatience in the emperor's eyes, Gu Qing'er hurriedly shouted to the guards outside: "What are you still doing, take a few servants away!"

"Your Majesty... Your Majesty, please forgive me... Your Majesty, please forgive me, Your Majesty, please forgive me..."

A trace of anger flashed across Gu Qing'er's eyes, and she used her eyes to signal Qin Zhong to act faster.

Here, Feng Jiuyou looked at the maids and servants who were dragged down, and said in a charming voice, "Concubine Qing, don't worry, I will call some of the maids and servants from Xizheng Palace over, and I guarantee that they will never dare to do anything wrong again." .”

Gu Qing'er was so grateful, the maids and servants of the Xizheng Palace, besides the Empress Dowager's Renshou Palace and the East Palace of the Supreme Emperor's Ming and Qing Palace, are the best maids.

Even if they are from Jiuyou Palace, if they go to Xizheng Palace, they will have to hold back their temper and be courteous.

"My concubine, thank the emperor!" Gu Qing'er lowered her head shyly.

After the two ate for a while, Gu Qing'er slowly got up and walked to Feng Jiuyou's side with lotus steps.The expression is gentle and elegant, and there are pearls and jadeites on the hair, which are extraordinarily shiny.

Feng Jiuyou looked lazily at Gu Qing'er who was walking towards him with a smile: "What's the meaning of Concubine Qing?"

Gu Qing'er smiled softly and said: "Your Majesty, my concubine asked my elder brother to bring the latest rice wine from outside the palace today. It is said that the wine tastes mellow and pleasant. I would like to invite the emperor to taste it."

Feng Jiuyou squinted her eyes, seeing that Gu Qing'er had already filled the wine glass in front of him, a meaningful smile appeared on the corner of her lips.

Gu Qing'er looked at the emperor's expression, saw that the emperor seemed to be in a good mood today, and did not refuse her to pour wine for her, she felt happy again, her cheeks flushed slightly.

Out of the corner of his eye, he glanced at Huanyu who was standing aside, and Huoyu understood, swept some waiting maids, and led them back out quietly.

In a place where the emperor couldn't see, Rumor took the torch and lit the incense in the gold-threaded hollow censer, then placed the censer at a position facing the wind, and gently opened the window to let the wind blow in.

He quickly covered his mouth and nose, and carefully looked at the direction of the incense curling from the incense burner. Rumor was relieved and quickly left the bedroom.
