Harem Empress

Chapter 44 Spring Hunting ([-])

Hastily walked to the bed, Fu bowed down and said: "My concubine greets the emperor, the emperor is auspicious!"

Emperor Jingyang stretched out his hand to help me up, and hurried away as if touching a thorn, and said in a low voice: "Your Majesty, no, my concubine has acne, and it will be contagious to you."

Emperor Jingyang took another step forward, squatted in front of me and said softly: "I'm not afraid, didn't you just want to see me when you played the flute just now? Every time I heard you play the flute, I would come over involuntarily."

It turned out that Emperor Jingyang was the one who eavesdropped a few times before. No wonder that when I was wronged by others and I used the flute to lure Zheng Yuan, Emperor Jingyang showed a disbelieving expression. It seems that he knew it a long time ago and looked at me deliberately. Being wronged by her people, a trace of complaint hit his brows, and he frowned and said: "The emperor came alone late at night, and if the queen mother and her elders find out, the concubine will be thrown into limbo."

Emperor Jingyang laughed loudly and said, "I came here by myself, there is no one behind me."

"I didn't expect that the majestic king of a country would learn to eavesdrop on corners like others." He said, looking at Emperor Jingyang's black eyes with a mocking mockery.

"Bold, be careful, I will punish you." Emperor Jingyang shook my hand heavily, but I quickly pulled it away, and Emperor Jingyang shook my hand in the end.

"The concubine has acne, the emperor should stay away from the concubine, and there are concubines who want to ask the emperor to point out another good yard for sister Su. The concubine's acne will be contagious, and then pass it on to sister Su The emperor will definitely feel distressed. At that time, Xu Na and our sisterhood will really have nothing to do. Sister Su's pure nature must be embarrassed to ask to move the palace. The concubine can't hurt the sister, so the concubine can only I implore the emperor to allow you." He seemed to take two steps back and asked in a low voice.

Emperor Jingyang came over and pulled me into his arms, he couldn't stop stroking my hair and said: "I knew you were so understanding and righteous, I promise you, but you have to promise me quickly Take care of your illness." Lying in the broad chest of Emperor Jingyang, it was so safe and steadfast.Emperor Jingyang only stayed in Xiangyuan Pavilion for a short while, and then walked away secretly. Under the cover of the night, he jumped and disappeared without a trace in the night.

The next day, I heard Taxue say that Emperor Jingyang pointed Su Meiren to Yu Mingxuan, because all the concubines who lived with me before Su Ying were afraid of being infected and dared not let her move to his palace. So the Queen ordered another yard to be secluded for her. In the morning, Tian Zhonghe took Su Ying's pulse and confirmed that Su Ying was not infected, so Su Ying started to pack up and move to Yu Mingxuan.

Su Ying stood outside the door with red eyes, because she was afraid of contagion, she could only stand outside the door and look at me from afar, saying: "Sister, my sister is not afraid of being infected, please ask the emperor to ask the emperor to leave a concubine to take care of my sister!"

How could I keep you? If I keep you here, I’m afraid my life will be even more difficult. I pretended to sob and said: "It turns out that I have no blessings. I will go to Yu Mingxuan to see you when I recover from my illness. Sister, let’s go!" Cough cough cough, my sister's current body is really afraid of passing it on to my younger sister!" Pretending to cough a few times.

Su Ying didn't continue talking, she could only leave reluctantly, seeing her gradually go away, a gratified smile appeared on her face.Unexpectedly, as soon as Su Ying moved away, the queen mother stepped into the Xiangyuan Pavilion. Seeing the serious face of the queen mother standing outside the door, she couldn't help shivering. The queen mother didn't walk in, but stood there. He said coldly outside the door: "Danbi, you'd better ask for more blessings for yourself now, the Ai family doesn't want any more vicious rumors to spread to the Ai family's ears." After finishing speaking, the queen mother left , it seems that the Queen Mother knew about what happened last night.

Ever since the Empress Dowager passed that day, Emperor Jingyang never came to Xiangyuan Pavilion again, Su Ying left Xiangyuan Pavilion, and Xiangyuan Pavilion became much deserted, Imperial Physician Tian began to reduce my daily dose of medicine After tossing and tossing for nearly a month, the pimples on my face finally dissipated, and the queen mother also relieved me of confinement. Looking at my smooth and clean cheeks in the bronze mirror in the morning, I started to chuckle from the bottom of my heart.

I haven't gone out for a long time, I didn't expect the air outside to be so fresh, I took a few more breaths, and I was relaxed and at ease. The main hall of Ningfeng Palace was already full of concubines, seeing me walking in quickly, the hall's The concubines were a little surprised, they must have wished for me to die of illness, they walked in quickly with a smile, Fu bowed down and said: "My concubine greets the empress, the empress is auspicious!"

"Get up quickly, you just recovered from a serious illness and you will be free from these hypocrisy." The queen who was sitting on Feng said softly after giving her a hand.

"Sister Dan's pimples come and go quickly, just in time for the emperor's spring hunting, and your pimples are healed!" Concubine Yuan glanced at me and said disdainfully.

"Prince Tian's wonderful hand rejuvenates, and the concubine's acne will heal soon." Sitting there, he replied slowly.

"Okay, the day after tomorrow, the emperor will go to the paddock in the western suburbs for spring hunting, and the emperor also specifically told me that the younger sister Danpin is weak and must go to practice, so this time Danpin must be indispensable, and the rest of the candidates are I have to wait for the emperor to go to the morning court, and I will notify you after the list is made, and you all go back when you are done!" The queen who was sitting on Feng said gracefully.

The queen's words made me the target of all the people in the harem. I walked out of Ningfeng Palace with my hand holding on to the snow. After walking a few steps, I felt someone pat me from behind. I turned my head and looked over. It turned out to be Concubine Kang. , Fu hurriedly lowered his body and bowed: "Concubine concubine pays her respects to Concubine Kang, concubine Kang is auspicious!"

"The empress even said that you won't be allowed to perform these vain rituals, so I forgot it so soon." Concubine Kang said mildly and helped me up: "Your sister would like to sit in my palace."

I nodded slightly, looked at each other with a smile, and walked in the direction of Laofei Hall. In fact, I was also full of doubts about this Concubine Kang, but I couldn't figure out where to start.

Laofei Palace is still the same as before, maybe it was because of the night at the beginning, suddenly felt that the gate of Laofei Palace was red and glaring, and the courtyard of Laofei Palace was full of flowers and plants, which was not inferior to Baihua Garden, white magnolia and purple flowers. The magnolias are in full bloom, and there are two red begonias planted in the corner of the courtyard. They are really beautiful. I can't help but walk forward, and when I go deep, I see that there are a few white sticks on the edge of the grass. Begonias, bees and butterflies frolicked around the flowers.

He stretched out his hand to grab a crabapple flower and played it in his hand, and said with a happy face: "The east wind is wafting in the sky, and the fragrant mist is empty and the moon is turning around the corridor. I am afraid that the flowers will fall asleep late at night, so I burn high candles to illuminate the red makeup. My sister likes crabapple flowers." .”

Concubine Kang responded with a generous and decent smile, and said softly: "Begonia is also called Jieyu flower. I still remember that when I was a child, my mother planted a lot of crabapple at home, and often played under the crabapple tree. Now it has entered the palace gate, etc. Haitang can be regarded as comforting my homesickness." Concubine Kang took the pipa from the handmaiden behind her as she spoke.
