Harem Empress

Chapter 5

Seeing my indifferent expression, Luxiu asked again: "My lord, don't you want to know who is serving the bed tonight?"

"It doesn't matter to me who serves the bed. I already know it's not me. I can sleep peacefully tonight." Putting down the tea in his hand, he got up and walked out. Me, "My lord, where are you going? This servant will take you there." Taxue was afraid that it would be bad for me to get lost if I entered the palace for the first time, so he hurriedly followed me and ran out.

The palace is so big!I don't know how long I walked, there was bursts of laughter from the side of Baihuayuan, I was stunned for a moment, and then walked towards Baihuayuan with my hand holding the snow, I could hear such a real laughter in the harem , I can't help but wonder who it is.It is worthy of being a hundred gardens. There are really hundreds of flowers in it. They are blooming in full bloom, and they are particularly eye-catching under the sunshine. The mixed fragrance of flowers is really refreshing!Walking a few steps in, it turned out that Hefei was playing in the garden with Princess Yafu in her arms. The Yafu in her arms was so cute that she couldn't help walking forward. Greetings, empress, auspicious concubine empress!"

At this time, Concubine He was wearing a sky-blue colorful brocade dress, embroidered with light silk juniper flowers, and only wore some simple pearls and an eight-treasure jadeite chrysanthemum hairpin on her head. She gently helped me up and said: " Get up quickly, you don't need to be too polite, they are all my sisters."

"The concubine disturbed the empress and the princess to enjoy themselves."

"No, no, I think the weather is fine today, so I carried Yafu to the garden to play. Yafu was very happy to see the flowers!" She glanced at the two-year-old Yafu in the arms of the maidservant. , was born petite and cute, with a faint blush on her pink face, and her eyes were a little blurred. Xu was tired from playing just now. Yafu is the eldest princess of the emperor. The emperor loves this princess very much. Now there is a child in the palace. Only the empress and concubine, the empress's child is now the eldest prince.

Chatted with Concubine He about some homework in the garden, teased Yafu for a while, and then went back to the palaces. When we got back to Xiangyuan Pavilion, the sun had already set, and the green sleeves were already waiting in the palace. Seeing me coming back, I hurried out of the house She ran out and asked, "My lord, where have you been? I can't find you." She glanced at her and said, "I just let Taxue take me to familiarize myself with the palace. It's fine."

"In the future, when you go out, you still have to call me. If you make a mistake, how can I explain to Mrs. Madam!"

"Understood." Before entering the hall, he heard two maidservants whispering behind the tree, and stopped, "I heard that tonight is the new Li Guiren's servant."

"That's right! I heard that Mrs. Li is beautiful and charming, and her voice is even more beautiful! The emperor doesn't know how much he likes it when he sees it." The two laughed softly while talking.

After listening to what they said, I couldn't help but sneer. When Taxue saw it, she helped me heavily and said in a low voice: "Your maidservant knows what to do." I nodded slightly and said softly: "Go Bar."

After giving Xiang Taxue a look, he turned his head and went into the house to eat while holding the hands of the green sleeves.

Early the next morning, I heard Luxiu make a fuss and told me that the two maids who were whispering at the door of the small kitchen yesterday were sent back to the Ministry of Internal Affairs by stepping on the snow last night. There are so many maidservants in the palace, I did not misread Taxue, I can rest assured that she will handle things.

After breakfast, I remembered the scenery of Baihuayuan yesterday, and Yafu in the sea of ​​flowers, and started to draw. At this time, Taxue came in, looked at me painting there, and praised: "Unexpectedly, little The Lord made Princess Yafu look so similar. It's just a pity."

Hearing what she said, he suddenly stopped writing, turned his head to look at Ta Xue and asked, "What a pity? What a pity?"

Taxue helped me sit on the couch and took a sip of the freshly brewed Biluochun, "Princess Yafu was born prematurely, so she has been weak since she was born. She took ginseng soup and tonic medicine every day. When she was just born, the imperial doctor said she was alive." It is less than one year old, and now it is an eye-opener to be able to survive until two years old."

After finishing speaking, he couldn't help sighing, and when he heard that he was less than one year old, the teacup in his hand trembled unavoidably, Yafu in Baihuayuan was so cute, so beautiful and so innocent, and Concubine He was like that The seemingly calm person always has a gentle smile on his face. He didn't expect that even the child could not escape the battle in the harem. What a twist of fate!When I think of these, I can't help but feel sad.

"My lord, those two palace servants have already been investigated." Only then did he come back to his senses and asked casually, "Who does it belong to?"

"The two of them were maids who served Concubine Luo before, but after Concubine Luo passed away, they were transferred to Xiangyuan Pavilion. It's just that Concubine Luo is the aunt of the concubine Ling."

Silently looking at the teacup in her hand, there are still a few emerald green tea leaves floating on it, she wants to see us fight in the nest, what a wishful thinking, but she is wrong, I have never seen what Li Guiren looks like, and How would I know, not to mention the two new maids, not to mention that Li Guiren is the new concubine with me. Put the words in my palace and want to sit on the mountain and watch the tigers fight, hum!It would be too small to underestimate me, Qin Shuang. I, Qin Shuang, would not be so stupid as to let her take advantage of it. He sighed deeply and said, "Let's do this for now. Let's wait and see what happens. The sky in June will change." become very fast."

Taxue nodded thoughtfully, I'd like to see how this concubine deals with Li Guiren, who is full of holy family members!

"I'm afraid there are people out there!" Taxue said meaningfully.Yes!How can the little concubine be so blatant, there must be someone behind her to support her, I am just a little noble who has not yet been favored by them, and they have plotted against me, it seems that I have to be more careful in the future.Forget it, don't think about it anymore, turned around and walked to the desk, looked at the painting on the desk, sketched a few simple strokes, blew on the wet ink, rolled it up gently, and handed it over to Ta Xue : "Frame it, go with me tomorrow and send this painting to Lanxiang Palace."

"Yes, servant girl is going now." Taxue took the painting out, and gently closed the door. Looking at the white rice paper, her heart has already drifted to the distance. I don't know if my parents are okay now after being in the palace for so long. what?Tears flowed down slowly, dripping onto the rice paper and slowly blurring, getting bigger and bigger.

As June progresses, the weather is getting hotter and hotter. The birds on the trees are chirping there early in the morning, and the green sleeves come in with a basin of water to dress me up. My father-in-law Tu announced that Li Guiren of Jingyue Pavilion was named Li Xiaoyuan, and he was rewarded with many things."

Picking up the comb on the dressing table, sitting on the mahogany chair and brushing her hair, she said: "She named her Xiaoyuan, so it has nothing to do with me, let alone I have never had any contact with her, I envy you."
