Harem Empress

Chapter 6

Luxiu hurriedly said: "I am not envious, I just want to know why we have been in the palace for so long, even though the emperor is exposed to rain and dew, but when will it be our turn!" He put down the comb in his hand heavily: "Snapped."

Turning to the side and looking at the bewildered Lvxiu with her head lowered, she said: "You, a little servant girl, can talk about the emperor's affairs. If it reaches the queen's ears, you won't be able to lose even ten heads. In the end, I have to be charged with the crime of lax discipline. People in the palace must be measured when they speak differently from the family." Lu Xiu secretly glanced at the anger on my face, and quickly lowered her head and knelt down in a crying voice. : "Little master, after the servant is convicted, he must control his mouth and never talk about the masters in private. The servant promises to protect the young master in the future."

He reached out to help her up, and wiped away the tears on her face with the silk handkerchief in his hand: "Okay, don't cry, you and I grew up together as sisters, it's just that this palace is different, we must walk Only by being careful with your words can we keep you and me safe." Lu Xiu nodded firmly: "Lu Xiu will definitely keep Miss safe, let this slave make up for you!"

Due to the light rain last night, the yard was filled with the mixed aroma of soil and flowers. After taking a deep breath, I felt that the whole person was in a good mood immediately, without any tiredness. At this time, Taxue took the scroll and left Come over and say in a low voice: "My lord, the painting is already mounted."

Turning around, he took the scroll in Ta Xue's hand. The jade scroll was rolled up from left to right. It was smooth and cool in his hand. He put the painting back in the box, and said lightly: "You know Where is the Tai Hospital?"

Taxue looked at me suspiciously and said, "Your servant knows, does the young master feel unwell? I just need to go to the imperial hospital to invite you."

"Take me there!" She took a meaningful look at Taxue, and she smiled at me. It seemed that she understood the meaning of going here, and walked towards the Tai Hospital with her hand. Your eyes are like flowers in a hundred gardens, your slightest move will be taken advantage of by others, so I must be extra careful, and make a note of the time in the Imperial Hospital to walk in the direction of Lanxiang Palace.

Taxue knocked on the door of Lanxiang Palace, and came to the back garden with Su Xin, the personal maid beside Concubine He. At this time, Concubine He was playing on the swing in the yard with Princess Yafu in her arms. Hearing Yafu's immature laughter, he couldn't help admiring: "What a pleasant picture!"

"My sister is here!"

Concubine He turned around and handed Yafu in her arms to the nanny beside me, and I saluted with a smile on my face: "Concubine He is auspicious!" The red Kodan shone dazzlingly under the sunlight.

"Yafusheng is petite and cute. I like my sister very much! So my sister drew a portrait of Yafu privately. My sister still likes it after seeing it."

Concubine He took the painting in my hand with a smile and said: "My sister's painting is even better than the teacher in the calligraphy and painting garden!"

"Big sister has won the prize, as long as my sister doesn't think my sister is clumsy." Concubine He smiled gently and handed the painting in her hand to the maid beside her.

Seeing that it was time for lunch, he and his concubine had lunch together in Lanxiang Palace, and teased Yafu for a while, afraid of disturbing Yafu's nap, they only stayed for half an hour before returning to the palace.

When I was about to reach Xiangyuan Pavilion, the green sleeves who were looking around at the gate saw me coming from a distance, so they ran over quickly and said, "My lord, you just went out today, and the empress sent some rewards. They are all stored in the hall, go and have a look!"

After hearing what Luxiu said, I couldn't help being a little surprised. The queen will give me a reward from a nobleman who has not been favored. What kind of medicine is she selling in this gourd?It's too early to win me over, it's a bit unreasonable to want to spy on me, or it's a bit too hasty to frame me.

There is a pair of jade ruyis on the red sandalwood table in the main hall, and the rest are some fabrics, only this pair of yu ruyis is extraordinarily eye-catching, looking thoughtfully at the jade ruyis on the table, and gently touching them with their hands The chilly Yu Ruyi had a slight coolness on her fingertips, "Call An Guoshun over."

Taxue went out, and soon An Guoshun walked over quickly: "My lord, what do you want?"

He bowed his head and whispered a few words to him, and An Guoshun withdrew. Because of the incident with the two palace maids last time, I specially asked Taxue to investigate the identities of all the palace servants in Xiangyuan Pavilion in private. They can still be trusted, and I usually treat them well, and the rewards have never been less than theirs.

"Put all these things away, and put them in the warehouse first! Well, I'm tired, you go down first!" Taxue went down with the things, and the green sleeves helped me to the bedside, covering for me. Being cornered, he stepped back lightly.

I don’t know how long I slept, but when I heard the door open with a “squeak”, I rubbed my sleepy eyes and sat up halfway up, “What time is it?” Taxue gently helped me up and said, “My lord, yes It's not even three quarters."

Just woke up feeling thirsty and sat down at the table, picked up the tea on the table and drank it, "Has An Guoshun come back?" .”

Taxue went out, and after a while An Guoshun came in, bowed his head and said: "Young master, the servants have already inquired clearly, the young master who has not served in the palace so far is Wang Guiren from Qingyinxuan and Su Changzai from Furong Hall, Today, all of them have received the queen's reward, it's just that."

Seeing him stammering and not speaking, he said in a more serious tone: "You just say it's okay."

"Hey, the queen only rewarded them with some silk fabrics, nothing else." He waved his hand to signal him to go down after hearing his words.

Maybe it's because I just woke up that my head hurts a little, and I pressed my head gently with my hand. I'm afraid I have figured out the queen's intentions. She wants to help me sleep, so that I can be taken under her door. I'm afraid the servant will leave I'm not far away, I sighed deeply, Taxue has always been a thoughtful person, and after staying in the harem for so many years, I turned to look at him and said, "What kind of person is the queen?"

Taxue looked at me meaningfully and said, "The empress is the daughter of Fang Congyuan, a senior scholar in the court, and was handpicked by the empress dowager, but the empress has always acted modestly and respected the emperor as a guest, unlike concubine Yuan and concubine Jin. It's so ostentatious, and it's not as calm and breezy as Concubine He."

A pair of bright eyes looked anxiously at Taxue and asked: "Then what is she intending to do by giving me Yu Ruyi today?"

"In my humble opinion, I just want to sell the little master!" After Taxue finished speaking, she looked at me cautiously and then lowered her head.

I didn't speak, just looked at the teacup in my hand silently, and slowly stretched my frown. It seems that Taxue and I have the same thoughts, sighed heavily, and sorted out the mess again. Thoughts, since the queen wants to sell me a favor, then I will accept it as soon as it is good. Since she won't let me thank you, she doesn't want to publicize this matter, besides, the current emperor only has one prince.
