Harem Empress

Chapter 22
Taxue and Lvxiu were stunned, and said full of doubts: "My lord, let's not wait for the emperor." Slowly put down the teacup in his hand and chuckled: "Wait no more, maybe the emperor will wait for you at this time." I am having dinner with Li Xiaoyuan!" As soon as the words finished, Gao Yuan quickly walked in from the outside and bowed his lower body and said: "Miss Dan, Long Live Lord said that you should eat by yourself first, and he will come to Xiangyuan Pavilion later. "

Looking at Gao Yuan going away in front of him, my heart started beating again. Could it be that Emperor Jingyang intends to let me sleep in bed tonight?The faces of Taxue and Luxiu were full of unconcealable joy, and they began to arrange for me to eat.

After dinner, I leaned lazily on the window couch and looked at the book in my hand. Unknowingly, I felt as if someone had gently pulled the book out of my hand, and I opened my eyes suddenly, "Ah I was startled. I don’t know when Emperor Jingyang had already stood in front of me, with that seductive smile on his face, he hurriedly stood up in a panic and bowed down: "My concubine greets the emperor, Good luck to the emperor!"

Emperor Jingyang was sitting on the side playing with the book in his hand and asked provocatively: "Get up, it's strangely cold on the ground, what's the matter? I'm tired of waiting."

I felt a little flustered when asked by him, and quickly explained: "I dare not, but I didn't sleep well last night, so I'm a little lazy today." In the big hall, only Jing Jing and I were left. The two emperors, the atmosphere became a little tense.

Emperor Jingyang put the book in his hand on the table, took another cup of tea from my arms, and hurriedly stopped him: "Long live, this cup of tea has already been drunk, let the servants brew it for you again." Get a new one!"

Emperor Jingyang burst out laughing and said, "What's the matter, can't I even drink the tea from my beloved concubine?"

"It's just, it's just that this tea is leftover. How can I let Wansui drink my concubine's leftover tea!" When he was about to call for Taxue to make a new cup of tea, Emperor Jingyang who was on the side had already "grumbled" the cup of tea. He drank cleanly: "Long live, if the empress and queen dowager find out about this, they will punish the courtiers and concubines to death." "If you don't tell me and I don't tell you, how would they know?" Hearing what he said, I suddenly felt a little It was unfounded to worry, and for some reason, I suddenly felt that Emperor Jingyang was not as indifferent and serious as before, but as cute as a naughty child.

At this time, Emperor Jingyang's face suddenly returned to its usual seriousness, and he said deeply: "Why haven't you come to see me these days! Have you forgotten?" He quickly bowed his head and saluted, "Please Long live, calm down, my concubine, my concubine really can't remember." Emperor Jingyang tapped on the table lightly with his finger and there was a "dangdang" sound, and now my heartbeat started to speed up and I was nervous.

"You really can't remember." Emperor Jingyang looked at me kneeling on the ground with a suspicious face and raised his voice.

"Chen and concubine are guilty."

"Convicted? Why are you guilty! Tell me and listen to me." Emperor Jingyang walked down and helped me up, looking at me who was shy in front of me, pretending to be angry.

"The concubine is stupid." After hearing what I said, Emperor Jingyang laughed loudly, "Qin Shuang, Qin Shuang, you will show me a different side every time! Well, you should rest earlier. It's time to go back and review the memorial." Emperor Jingyang didn't plan to stay with me, at this moment I was confused by Emperor Jingyang, and my head was still foggy when I sent him away, could it be that I was dreaming.

In the early morning of the next day, I heard Taxue say slowly that Li Xiaoyuan was pregnant with the emperor's heir and had already been conferred the title of Concubine Li Gui. She doesn't have to go to Ningfeng Palace to settle provinces every day, it's true that mother depends on child!After breakfast, I put on a simple and elegant purple silk emerald pattern skirt, and only wore a simple jasper hairpin on my head, and then went out. Since I haven't served in bed yet, I can't go to Ningfeng Palace to serve Sleep, can only go out for a walk.

Hearing from Taxue, there is a fish feeding place in the palace - Youyue Garden, which is very remote and rarely visited by people, so he brought the fish food and went out with Taxue.Youyueyuan was never discovered when it was very far away from Xiangyuan Pavilion. The autumn wind swept away the fallen leaves. Youyueyuan really lived up to its name!A few yellow autumn leaves fell on the ground and swirled in place with the autumn wind. Some pine and cypress trees were planted in the yard, as well as a few plum trees. It was strange why there were no flowers in the yard!Walking to the depths of the trail, I first saw a rockery standing there, and then I saw a large fish pond when I went around. Looking down, there were a large group of koi in it, as if I felt that I was coming to feed the fish. Like delivering food, they swam towards the pond wagging their tails, sat on the stones by the pond, picked up the fish food in their hands, crushed it lightly and threw it into the lake. The koi in the pond ate the food and swam happily It's more joyful, and they are scrambling to grab the fish food in the pond, so they are chasing after each other!
At this time, I heard footsteps vaguely, and I hurriedly hid in the cave beside the rockery with Ta Xue, the footsteps were getting closer and closer, it sounded like a man and a woman, could it be a pair of men and women, or something else.

At this time, they had already walked to the fish pond, and they heard the sound of them arguing about something, like a "child" or something, and their hearts were full of doubts. The only pregnant woman in the palace is Li Guifei. Could it be that they want to murder the emperor's heir and are thinking about it? At that time, there was only a "plop", and someone fell into the lake.

In the cave against the cold stone wall, my nervous heartbeat kept beating. After hearing no other sounds, I secretly turned my head and glanced at the situation outside. Although I only saw a faint figure from her back, I could tell from her Dressed to make sure that it was the back of the concubine, watching the back that was gradually going away, then sneaked out of the cave, tiptoed to the edge of the pool and squinted at the calm lake. The koi were playing happily there, as if nothing had happened just now, it was strange, why did the person dressed as a concubine kill someone, and who was that person she killed?

Taxue looked around cautiously and said softly: "Your Majesty, let's go back quickly, we won't be able to tell when someone comes later!" Gong is here today to enjoy the flowers in the Hundred Gardens, and has never been to Youyue Garden."

"The maidservant has been with the empress in Baihuayuan." He looked up at the distant sky and sighed deeply. Today's incident was too sudden. It was the first time I saw someone kill someone in front of my eyes. Shocked and trembling, he walked out of Youyue Garden with his hand holding on to the snow.

When I arrived at Xiangyuan Pavilion, I picked up the tea on the case table and drank it in one gulp, and then I calmed down a bit. This matter cannot be so simple. I vaguely remembered that they were arguing about the child just now. Could it be that Li Guifei's stomach There is a problem with the children in the house, no!The imperial physician went to check the pulse every day. If there was any problem, the imperial physician would have reported to Emperor Ming Jingyang. It seems that today's matter has nothing to do with Li Guifei. It's just that the fetus in Li Guifei's womb has not yet come. He has been involved in the battle of the harem since he was born.
